Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Demon Child ❯ Chapter 2

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

I only have two things to say this time. First, I’m trying to keep people in character, but please remember that they grew up in a different environment.

Second, I’ve gotten two reviews saying that I’m an ‘expert writer’ and at least one (that I can remember off the top of my head) that said the reviewer thinks that particular story will end up being one of the best out there. I love the complements guys, but honestly I hate my writing style, and, because of that, don’t really like the way anything I write turns out. With the exception of chapter 2 of BCWYWF, but even that’s iffy. So, please continue feeding my ego, but keep in mind that comments like that mean more to me than you probably intend.

I’ll shut up and let you read now.

Agni winced. Again.

Takuya was still worried about the next town, and for the last hour and a half his method of stress relief had been sending shocks through their body.

Takuya, on the other hand, was having a blast. Because the world he was in existed only because he and Agni willed it to, he could literally do anything he wanted to. So he had created meta-physical copies of his tutors back at the castle and, not limited by his abilities in the physical world, started blasting them with fireballs.

“Stop, we are nearing the town.”

Takuya threw one last fireball before banishing his targets. “What?”

“Feeling better?”

“Yeah. Thanks for letting me do that.”

Agni gave him the mental equivalent of a nod. “Good. We will be reaching the gates shortly.”

Agni kept his hood down when he approached the gate, so as to avoid suspicion. If the guard’s expression was anything to go by, it didn’t work.

“State your name and business.”

“My name is Nanashi Tagni. I’m a traveler in need of supplies.”

The guard glared at him for a moment, before he, unable to find a legitimate reason not to, allowed ‘Tagni’ to pass.

Meanwhile, Takuya was in shock. “How did you pull that off?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that has got to be one of the most obvious pseudonyms I’ve ever heard! You probably would have had a better chance trying to bribe him!”

Agni grinned, “So, now we know why I’m the high ranking demon and you’re the lowly twelve year old human child. Any other questions?”

“Yes. Why is it that the only reason said high ranking demon had a physical form is because he’s sharing it with said human?”

Agni’s amusement vanished to be replaced by guilt. “Takuya, I’m sor-“

“Stop! I knew what I was agreeing to when I gave you my body! If the price for saving my friends’ lives is that I have to leave home, then so be it, it’s still better than the alternative! So just…stop apoligizing already.”

Agni was saved from responding by a hand on his shoulder.

“Excuse me, but could I have a word?”

Agni turned to look at the speaker. Long, dark hair pulled back into a ponytail, sharp, cold eyes, fairly expencive yet still functional looking clothes, and a katana hanging from his waist. Definitely not good..

Nodding caisiously, he allowed himself to be lead to an area of reletave privacy.

Not knowing what this was about, and not willing to risk his life on a hunch, he stayed silant and waited for the other to speak.

“I’m curious to know just how someone as important as the prince ended up in the service of a demon like Agni.”

Nothing to say this time.

R&R Ja ne!
