Chapter 4

Back at the van, the others were bombarding Adam with questions about the past of their two friends. He had to constantly ask them to speak slower, as his Japanese was pretty bad, but talking with five people who only spoke Japanese was quickly getting him back in practice.

"What is going on with them?"

"What did they do before them came to Japan?"

"What did she do to him?"

"Why does she use throwing stars?"

All were very good questions and it was a good thing Adam had all the details to fill them in. "Well, guys. Kelryn does not like people talking about her, whether it's good or bad. I think she'd be happy if she went completely invisible. So she could watch us but we'd never know she was here. Kovin is the only person she's ever trusted, because he understands her. My hat's off to him, I could never figure that crazy bitch out."

The others were quiet. This was probably their only chance to get any information about their mysterious friends. "Kelryn showed up in Kingston when she was eleven. Natasha's family took her in. She loved them and they loved her. Tash and Kelryn were inseparable. They both taught each other their respective languages. And that's how Kovin and I came to know it. With those two I'm told they speak both languages like it was their first, and you can't tell which they learned first." The other children nodded in agreement, saying that their Japanese rivalled that of the teachers for grammar and pronunciation.

"When they were both fifteen, they started a more-than-friendship relationship. He's a gentleman and she's a lady, so neither told anyone how far their relationship got. But I have an educated guess. They both loved each other, and I know they were sleeping together." Kari giggled a bit. "Yeah, and then it happened. Kovin had Ozlimon since he was six. Natasha and I knew about him. He was great, we all loved him. Over the years a few people showed up trying to kill Ozlimon, and he killed them in self-defence. After like the tenth one, Ozlimon got the ability to turn himself form a rookie bird into a champion bird. It was really cool." The other children took a break to explain the fact that Ozlimon could go to mega now, not just champion. It caught them off guard that Adam would know about digivolving, but living around Ozlimon for eleven years would be educational.

"Wow, that little guy is really skilled, isn't he?" They looked at the sleeping digimon in the van. They were all jet-lagged. The humans were having a better time dealing with it. "Anyway, Kovin got a gun just before he and Kelryn started going out, and he was really good with it. He said he wanted to be able to defend himself and Ozlimon. He could to do many tricks with that gun. The stupid part was he'd shoot sixteen times, hit fifteen targets and bitch about wasting ammo."

"When they were seventeen, Kovin was teaching Kelryn how to use the gun. She was getting pretty good with it herself, but nowhere near Kovin's skill level. Don't kid yourself, she could probably drop you from five hundred meters in high wind. That's about when Kelryn got her digimon. She was so confused. Her digimon didn't know everything about the game, just the fact that she was supposed to fight other digimon. Kelryn was so sad. She avoided Kovin for a week, she didn't want to fight him. Finally, one day, he cornered her near her house in a park. He just wanted to know why she was avoiding him. He said she was crying, and she drew the gun Kovin had given her, and shot him." Yolei gasped with fear.

"Oh my gosh Yolei! You think Kovin will live?" Ken said sarcastically.

"What?" She said. "He obviously lives, he's down there on that wall thing with Kelryn right now." She shoved him for saying that, and motioned for Adam to continue.

"Anyway, she shot him. He fell unconscious, and she ran away. Her digimon later told her the details, about how fights are purely optional, and then that it's the digimon that fight, not the humans. She was so embarrassed that she ran away. He spent a few weeks recovering. The bullet just grazed his left side. Then he uprooted his life and left. Said he was going to see if he could find sense again. That was the last I saw either of them until now."

The other children took in the information. The lives of their friends now made much more sense. Kovin and Kelryn could now be seen returning from their hiding place, with the golden glint of the setting sun on the water making silhouettes of the two approaching figures.
