Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Guardian Angel ❯ Episode Nine: "Is This the Feeling of Caring? Two Minds Think Alike" ( Chapter 9 )

A frustrated and confused Jun entered her empty apartment. There was a terrace at the far left of her from the living room that overlooked most of the area. But she preferred the roof were she could see the almost the entire city and be alone. The afternoon sun was pouring in warm light through the glass door that gave the gloomy apartment some life. The apartment was very tidy and clean and well arranged, as if no one ever lived here. But yet that fact made it feel emptier. After all, it was just her. She went straight to her room where she could settle down. Inside her large room was just like the rest of the apartment, tidy with an empty, cold feeling. In the room there was a desk were a black laptop computer sat. There were also shelves filled with books and other common bedroom furniture.

Jun flung herself on top of her queen size bed. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she asked into the empty space. "I can't believe what I said to him. I'm becoming too nice," she sighed, "I have to stop this soon before it gets out of hand." She couldn't stand the thought of being kind and she would kill herself before she did. She needed to stay completely focus on her plans, her mission. But something was bothering her. Lately, every time she was with Ichijouji these strange feelings would stir inside her. Jun didn't know what these feelings were but she did know that she wanted these feelings to go away. "The only feelings I know of is pain...sorrow...loneliness...death....hatred ...." she thought to herself. But these new, strange feelings were different, something she never felt before, and it's confusing her. They are even starting to scare her. But she was never going to admit this to herself or tell anyone about the strange feelings. She then shut her eyes, trying to block all this nonsense out of her mind. "Thank you, Jun-chan."Ken's warm and kind, smiling face appeared in her mind. Then the strange feelings came up again inside her and her eyes snapped open in anger. She then quickly gripped onto her pillows. "Get out of my head!" she yelled angrily as she threw them across the room. She held her head in confusion and was breathing hard. "I can't think! I have to go get some fresh air." She then quickly left her room and went straight to the roof of the building.

The sun was up high, shinning upon the city below. She then took a deep breath and tried to regain her sanity. "I have a mission to complete. I must keep getting stronger by collecting more energy and combining it with my own dark power," she said as she surveyed the area, "And with the dark power inside Ichijouji added with my own I will be able to destroy the Digital World and..." Jun then began to think about Ichijouji again but this time, she was thinking about his memories about him being the Digimon Kaizer. She was able to get these memories when she held his hand, thanks to the power of her crest. "He had so much power, what a failure. I can still feel that power inside him. Even on the soccer field he had so much energy." That's why she bother to go to the game, to see if his power was worth getting. "Now that I've seen it myself, I'll get him to become the Kaizer again. If not, then I'll still gather his dark power inside him and kill him along with the rest of the children."

"Why do you even care if he became the Digimon Kaizer again?"
"Because he might still be useful. That was part of the mission. That's way I came here, to return him back-"
"But he's free, you're not..."
"I...know..."
"You can't do this to him. He's nice to you."
"I know. He's so kind, even when I'm being a complete bitch. But I don't care."
"Then why did you help him today?"
"I...I...don't know. I had to. I have to get close to him so I can manipulate him."
"Or is it because you are lonely?
"I've always been...alone."
"Then you do care."
"No I don't!"
"You've just forgotten...lost...them...yourself..."
"I haven't forgotten anything!! I'm just doing my mission! It's just that..."
"You have strange feelings, don't you? About Ichijouji. Is that's what's bothering you?"
"How's he doing this to me?"
"He's not."
"Then what is it? I have to get rid of these feelings."
"You can't."
"Why?"
"Because...you're...remembering......you...ca re..."
"Shut up!" she screamed at herself. She couldn't bear it. Were the strange feelings doing this to her? "If it is, then I must get rid of him." Jun than looked at the sky and began to remind herself her purpose, so she can get her mind off the strange feelings...

"My mission is to kill and destroy the life of the Digital World by collecting energy. Returning Ichijouji to darkness was just a part of the plan. That way, the Chosen Children will not unite together and will fail at protecting the Digital World. If not, the I would collect Ichijouji's dark power and kill them all. Either way, I didn't care. I was just told to do so. It was my end of the bargain. Either the Digimon Kaizer will be reborn or Ichijouji will die. Once I accomplish that and turn the Digital World into another world of darkness, he would then tell me where to find the Devil. That was his part of the deal. After this I would become strong enough to accomplish the most important part of my, own mission. I couldn't care less about the Digital World or world domination. My mission is to kill the Devil because he killed...me...when he...killed...my...family..."

She knows that the Devil was a digimon. That's why she would enjoy destroying the Digital World. "You destroyed my life...my world...it's only natural that I'll destroy your life...your world...all of you must suffer...like I did..."

"Or is it because you are lonely?
"I've always been...alone."
"Then you do care."
No. She doesn't care about Ichijouji. The only person she cared about, the only boy she cared about was...gone...he's gone...like everyone else..."

"Enough!" Jun screamed again. She then grew a cold, stern face. "My main mission is to I find him...the Devil and kill him." And she was damn sure that these stupid feelings or even Ichijouji will not get in her way to accomplish her life's purpose...

At Ken's apartment...

"Tadaima!" Ken announced as entered his home. "Okaeri!" welcomed a squeaky voice. Ken then realized it was Minomon. "Minomon where are my parents?" he asked the little digimon. "Don't worry they didn't see me. I think they went to work." Ken then went by the phone where he knew that his mother would leave a message for him. There was a small piece of paper there. He was right. "Gone to work. Be back home later at six o' clock to make dinner. Love Mom." Ken said as he read the note. He then checked the time. It was already two-thirty. "Ja, that gives us enough time at the Digital World. First I got to take a shower." He then walked to his room and dropped his stuff. As he began to take off his dirty shoes, Minomon gasped. "What's wrong?" asked Ken. "What happened to your leg?" Ken then looked at his leg and saw the sky blue tie, soaked in blood. He almost forgot about it and then smiled.
"Uh...Ken-chan?"
"Oh, uh, I skinned my leg while playing."
"Why were you smiling?"
"No reason." he said quickly.
"Aa sou ka? Then where did you get that blue tie?"
Ken then began to blush nervously. There was no escape.
"A girl gave it to you, ne? Come on, tell me!
"Okay, okay! Yeah, your right."
"Dare?"
"Jun-chan, that girl I go to school with."
"Oh, okay" Then Minomon giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"Ken-chan and Jun-chan sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s..."
"Minomon, don't even think about finishing that! Now take it back!"
"..."
"Well?"
"...i-n-g!"
"Minomon!!" he yelled angrily.

Ken gave chase but didn't keep it up for long because of his leg. He then ignored the laughing Minomon and went to the bathroom for a quick shower to wash away the blood on his leg. After that he grabbed his clothes to change. He checked his leg and the bleeding did stop so Ken put on a real bandage, to prevent infection. He then looked at the dirty tie that was on top of his soccer uniform. "I better wash this later and thank her again." he said to himself. After changing he went back to his room. Minomon was jumping on his bed. "Are you ready, Ken-chan? I want to go defeat more of Angel's soldiers and her towers! Ikou yo!" he said with full energy. Ken then suddenly stopped in his tracks and remembered his dream he had last night. "Angel..."
"What's wrong now, Ken-chan?" asked a worried Minomon.
"Kore yume..." he said mumbled.
"What dream?"
"I just remembered about a dream "I had about Angel, I think."
"What happened?"
Ken's face then saddens. "In my dream, Jun-chan transformed into Angel."
"Was there anyway that we might know for sure that Jun is Angel?"
"Well, in the dream Jun-chan had two large scars on her back where the wings go."
"Do you think its true?"
"It seem real."
"Then do you think it is?"
"I don't know. It was just a dream." Ken then became quiet.
"Ken-chan..."
He then smiled a little. "Well, don't worry about Minomon. It was just a dream. It's probably not true at all."
"Well, okay."

Ken then picked up Minomon and headed for the computer. "It did seem so real. Maybe I should try and find out if Jun-chan may have scars or something." He then shook his head, trying to get the idea out of his head, "No! It was just a dream! Jun-chan is so nice so it can't be true." He just didn't want to believe a beautiful person like Jun would be so evil and cruel. He wouldn't believe it but to be honest with himself, he didn't know what he would do if he found out if it was really true.
