Coming Home (Sorta)

Chapter one - Welcome Home

 

By Robster80 (R80)

 

 

This was originally a series made only for a website called the Anime Addventure, but I decided to try and post it elsewhere and see what happens. I'm listing this series as Ybecause there will be some lemon chapters scattered throughout the series. If you're interested in seeing the original files, you can find them here: http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/frecent.php?tag=Co ming+Home...+Sorta

A strange wind blew that late afternoon in Odaiba. The last time this kind of thing happened was when Digimon invaded the real world shortly after several Christmases ago. However, this was in no means a repeat of such events. Instead, several dimensional rifts opened long enough for a band of travelers to enter this world, and then closed behind them.

 

In one group, a black, white and blue robot that looked like it was made from a racecar from the 1980's took in the surroundings of the Odaiba city streets. “Hmmm, looks like a hip pace to party,” he said to his two companions. “Wonder what kind of world we hit this time?”

 

The other two, a woman with flowing pink hair and wearing what looked like a maid's costume, and a humanoid with goggles and a facemask that looked like he came straight form a sci-fi movie, also looked around. The girl noticed several signs. “Judging from the writing on everything, we're in Japan. At least I hope so. Master Plo?”

 

Plo Koon closed his eyes (though no one could really tell because of his goggles) and reached out with his telepathic power. The Kel Dorin Jedi finally said, “I tapped into the minds of several pedestrians within the buildings. You are correct, Kurumi; this is indeed Japan.”

 

“And I think we struck pay dirt. Jazz, Plo, look at that TV.”

 

Jazz and Plo looked in the direction Kurumi was pointing at, and saw TK's face on a TV screen in a store window. They read the captions on the screen, which informed them that TK was still missing after disappearing exactly one month past. It fit in perfectly from TK's story of when he originally began his journey through the dimensions.

 

Jazz smiled. “Bet the kid'll be dancing for joy to know this. Let's call `em up.”

 

However, all three of their wrist communicators beeped before a familiar voice called to them from them. “This is TK to all groups. Anybody read me?”

 

“Kurumi, Plo and I dig ya, bossman,” Jazz replied, “but where be you, and who with?”

 

“Looks like my room at my mom's apartment, and no one else.”

 

“We just caught some sorta infomercial on missing people, and you made the top ten when you supposedly vanished a month ago. Congrats, you're officially home.”

 

“Did you say a month? No, never mind that; I'm activating my homing beacon. You guys zero in on my location and hopefully we'll all hook up here.”

 

“Ten roger, kid. You heard the boss,” Jazz said to Plo and Kurumi after turning off his communicator, “We gotta buzz. Stand back! Jazz, go large and transform!” In a flash, Jazz leapt out into the empty road, enlarged himself using the Pym Particles the group had been given from one of the super-hero groups they had encountered along the way, and changed form robot into a racecar with a large 4 on the hood and on the car doors. After the others got into him, he drove off, following TK's beacon signal.

“Kari, wait up, will you?”

 

Kari didn't slow down or even turn around at Davis's voice. She just kept walking along, her head tilted up a bit. “I told you time and time again, Davis, it's over between us. Now leave me alone!”

 

“Come on, babe. Don't you see that this is all a part of his game to split us up?”

 

“No one disappears for a solid month just to get couples to split up. …He did it because I hurt him, and I only realize it now.”

 

Yes, Kari had indeed hurt TK: she had chosen to go out with Davis instead of her best friend whom she had flirted with for over a year. Her reason for it was because of TK's family background; a long history of separations and divorce. It wasn't what she wanted to get involved with, and had told Davis this when they first started officially going out. “Nothing good will come from entering into a broken home,” she had said.

 

Unfortunately, TK had overheard this and had seen them embrace for the first time. And since then, the two of them would be all over each other whenever TK was around or within seeing-distance, and Kari relished in it. It didn't matter how much TK suffered; her message was clear that she wasn't interested in him as a boyfriend.

 

Then one day, after a routine trip to the Digital World, TK and Patamon broke off from the group. That was the last anyone saw of them; it was as if they had vanished into thin air. The police looked all over the city, and the Digi-Destiend and their allies combed every inch of the Digital World, but there was no trace of either bearers of the Crest of Hope.

 

At first Kari didn't seem to care, which isolated her form all the DD save for Davis. Even Gatomon, who chose to remain in the Digital World along with Veemon to keep looking, stopped talking to her, as did Tai. This she couldn't understand, because she thought Tai would support her side after how much he hurt after he learned Sora and Matt were dating. However, Tai explained that unlike her and Davis, Sora and Matt were honest about their relationship and tried to stay friends with him.

 

A few days later, Kari realized the cold, harsh truth: she had been wrong. With TK gone, a void grew within her heart. It wasn't Davis she was in love with, but TK, and he was gone, probably because of the way she treated him. She felt she truly deserved to be isolated from the others after all the pain she caused her former best friend.

 

When he comes back, I'll make it up to him if it kills me! …If he ever comes back. Oh TK, can you ever forgive me?

 

“You picked me, remember?”

 

Finally fed up, Kari spun on her heel to glare hard at Davis. “And if I had a time machine I'd use it to go back in time and make myself understand that being with you is a major mistake! Read my lips, Daisuke Motomiya: I don't love you! I just had a crush, that's it!”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

Kari and Davis looked to see a girl a little older than them standing behind Kari. She wore a blue cape with a hood that covered her face mostly, save for her mouth. Her purple eyes were clearly visible, however, in the darkness of her hood.

 

“You're Daisuke Motomiya and Hikari Yagami?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“That's what I thought.” Suddenly, the girl drew back a fist and then flung it right into Kari's face. The blow sent Kari hurtling to the sidewalk, her cheek beginning to swell from the hit. Davis was about to retaliate, but the girl was quicker to ram her other fist into his abdomen, taking the wind right out of him and making him double-over as he failed to breathe.

 

The girl then took a deep breath after looking over her work. “You two have no idea how long I waited to do that for what you did.”

 

“Come on, Raven, you don't wanna keep him waiting now, do you?”

 

Raven turned away from Kari and Davis, who were picking themselves up. “Sorry, Gina.”

 

Kari looked at her assailant to see her walking off with two women, one with blonde hair and one with red. It never dawned on her that they were heading in the direction of TK's apartment building.

 

“Wha… What was that all about,” Davis wondered aloud, getting back his breath. “What we ever do to that weirdo?”

 

All Kari could do was shake her head in puzzlement.

As he sat on the side of his bed, TK looked once more around his old bedroom that he had missed for two years of his life. He could hardly believe what Jazz had told him moments ago over their communicators: only a month had gone by in this dimension. One month gone, and he had spent two years of his life hopping through dimensions on a quest. That was two years his family would never experience with him.

 

Quietly, he took his D-3 from his one pocket. His fingers were tight around the damaged mechanism as memories of Patamon flooded his mind, including the day he died. “I made it, Pata,” he said in a hushed voice. “I'm back home. If only… if only you were here with me, old friend.”

 

Suddenly he heard the front door open. Pocketing his D-3, he raced out his open bedroom door and out into the kitchen/living room area before he stopped dead in his tracks. His mother stood before him, also frozen in shock.

 

Nancy Takaishi couldn't believe the sight before her. TK was right there looking back at her, after being gone for a whole month. However, she took in the changes he had underwent: his clothes were something out of Yu-Gi-Oh or its spin-off sequel GX, his belt had a holster with some sort of gun on it while what looked like a lightsaber handle was hooked to the opposite side of the gun, a yellow tattoo of his Crest of Hope was etched onto his left cheek, and on the left side of his neck was a terrible scar. What hurt her the most was the look in his eyes - pain, hardship, and perhaps even sorrow.

 

“T-TK… is it… is it really you?”

 

Tears welled up in TK's eyes; he had not seen his mother, his real mother, for so long. “Hai,” he replied softly. “I'm home, mother. I'm finally home.”

 

“Oh TK!”

 

Mother and son embraced tightly, and they wept; Nancy crying the loudest. “TK, my baby! I've missed you so much!”

 

“I'm sorry, mom. I never meant to go away, but… but something happened-.” He was cut off as his mother tightened her hug so much that he could barely breathe.

 

“You'll be lucky if I let you go back to school in the fall; you're so grounded mister.”

 

“Mom… can't breathe…”

 

Hearing this, Nancy pulled away from TK and, seeing him gasp for air, realized she almost smothered him. “TK, I'm so sorry. But, where have you been all this time? Why didn't you try to contact me or your father or Matt? How did you get that scar on your neck? And who said you could get a tattoo, mister!” It was then that Nancy realized something was missing, or someone. “TK, where's Patamon? I thought he went missing along with…”

 

The words died in her mouth as Nancy saw TK's expression grow sullen. She watched as he pulled out his D-3, and put a hand to her mouth when she saw how it was damaged. The answer was all too clear for her: Patamon was dead, and there was no coming back this time. Only in the Digital World could a Digimon die and later be reborn as a Digi-Egg. If a Digimon was killed outside of the Digital World, they would never return.

 

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Nancy got up, reluctantly because she wanted to comfort her son, and opened the door. “What the-?!”

 

Nancy had expected a group at her doorstep, figuring that TK had contacted the other Digi-Destined. However, none of the people (or things) before her were recognizable to her. Some were male, others were female, and some were not even human. In fact, two were real live robots. “…Can I… help you?”

 

“Excuse us, Ms. Takaishi,” one of the females spoke up, taking off her Indiana Jones hat. She was blonde with shoulder-length hair and wore glasses; Nancy almost believed her to be a long-lost relative. “We're friends of TK's. Is he here?”

 

“Why are you even asking, Gina? The signal's coming from inside, so he should be in there.”

 

“It would be rude to just barge into someone else's home, Kurumi.”

 

Looking guilty, Kurumi bowed respectfully towards the man with the brown hair done in a long braid. “Sorry, Master. Um, wasn't Raven just here a minute ago?”

 

The group looked around themselves to discover that Raven indeed was missing. Nancy also noticed that the girl (at least she thought it was a girl) in the blue cloak and hood that was with the assembly outside her door had disappeared. Then, Gina looked and pointed past Nancy, causing everyone to look inside the apartment. Nancy hung her mouth open in shock at the sight of TK and Raven locking lips and holding each other tightly. “Hey!”

 

The couple opened one eye each to look at Nancy and the group outside the door. Noting the way TK's mother was looking at them, they quickly broke off their kiss and stood apart. “Uh, mom, I was going to tell you about all this-.”

 

“Hold that thought, TK. Just tell me who she is,” Nancy pointed at Raven, “and how'd you meet her.”

 

“Don't forget about us,” one of the robots, the black one that resembled Optimus Prime, spoke up. “And for goodness' sake, Raven, could you have waited until we all were invited inside?”

 

“Stupid question,” several of the group, including all the females, quickly stated.

 

Deciding to take matters into his own hands, TK quickly walked over to the door. “Come on in, gang. I dunno what's to offer, but make yourselves at home. Mom, you'd better step back. Some of these guys are larger than life. No offense, Jazz, BC.”

 

“None taken,” the two Transformers replied as the group shuffled into the apartment. Each one gave a nod or small bow of respect towards Nancy as they passed her. “TK, you've got some serious explaining to do. And in case you forgot, you're grounded so you really shouldn't have any friends over.”

 

“And where would they go, mom? They're each from a different dimension, except for Maul and Plo because they're from the same one.”

 

“Dimensions?” Nancy repeated, blinking in confusion.

 

“That's what I've been doing for two years of my life while only one month went by here - I've been traveling through dimension after dimension after dimension trying to find my way home while given a quest from a higher power.”

”How many years?” Nancy almost didn't believe what TK had told her. She had missed two years of her son's life, and all within the span of thirty to thirty-one days. “And just when during those years did you get a tattoo?”

 

Putting a hand over his tattoo, TK averted his eyes away form his mother. “Well, I wasn't sure… that I'd even get home. Most never do when they travel through time on TV.”

 

“This isn't TV; this is reality. Anyway, how come you brought home all of them?”

 

“It's a long story,” Gina answered for TK, “though to put it simply, we wanted to help TK.”

 

“Aside from the fact that Raven is TK's girlfriend,” Kurumi quickly added.

 

“So I noted,” Nancy said while eyeing Raven. It was the first time she was able to get a good look at the girl who kissed her son full on the mouth, especially now that Raven had pulled down her hood. “Though I'm not quite be surprised. I guess after getting spurned by the Child of Light, TK, it would be ideal for you to hook up with a Goth girl.”

 

“That reminds me,” the woman with red hair said, turning to TK. “Some of us would have gotten here sooner, but someone,” she nodded towards Raven, “stopped to punch two certain people for hurting a certain blonde with blue eyes.”

 

“They had it coming, Emma. Besides, I know Takeru wanted to deck Davis, but it wouldn't be right for him to clock a girl. Even if it was that bitch-.”

 

“Language, Raven,” TK stated politely, “And I'm only sorry I didn't get to see it happen. Anyway, mother, I assume you'd like introductions?” Without waiting for an answer, TK started pointing at the members of his group, one at a time. “This is the order in which I met them all: Raven, Gina Diggers, Jedi masters Plo Koon and Darth Maul, Duo Maxwell, Emma Sheen, Black Convoy, Jazz, Ben Reilly AKA Spider-Carnage, and Kurumi.”

 

“Well, I do owe you all my thanks for looking after my son during his… journey. However, this apartment wasn't designed to hold so many people.”

 

“No problem,” Ben replied, flipping into the air to stand on the ceiling. “I usually whip up a web hammock for myself and anyone else if need be, and they last up to twelve hours.”

 

“And Jazz and I sleep standing up against a wall,” Black Convoy added, “as well as we can change our sizes from big to small thanks to Pym Particles, which alter our molecular structures.”

”Yeah, we go from living large to getting wayyyy down with the best of `em.”

 

“Master Maul and myself are comfortable sleeping on the floor,” Plo said while he and Maul produced sleeping mats.

 

Emma shrugged. “Gina and I are flexible, as long as it's not any trouble to you, Ms. Takaishi.”

 

Kurumi suddenly latched herself onto Duo's one arm. “And I sleep with my master, just like Raven sleeps with TK-.” She clasped a hand to her lips along at the same as Duo put his hand over hers. “Shouldn't have said that,” she muttered.

 

Nancy whirled to glare at TK. Before he could say anything, she reached out and grabbed him by his one ear. “We need to talk,” she said through grit teeth, “mother to son.” As TK kept saying “ouch” in pain, he was dragged by his mother into her bedroom, where she slammed the door behind them before her voice could be heard quite well from within the closed room.

 

“You never learn,” Raven said, here eyes narrowed while she looked darkly at Kurumi.

 

“Uh, sorry?”

 

Gina and Black Convoy winced as Nancy's voice grew louder as TK tried to get his say in by raising his voice. “I hope he'll be okay,” Convoy said, “His mother has a nasty temper.”

 

“FOR GOD'S SAKE, MOTHER,” TK could be heard shouting at the top of his lungs, “I'M STILL A VIRGIN, SO WILL YOU PLEASE CALM DOWN?!”

 

Raven facepalmed at her boyfriend's statement. “Did he have to say it that loud?”

 

Gina stared at her in shock. “No way,” she said. “I thought you and TK… especially with your build…”

 

“He's a stronger man than I gave him credit for,” was all Duo could say.

 

“What's a virgin?” Maul, Plo, and Jazz asked at once. One threatening look from Raven was all it took for them to quickly say “Never mind” or “I/We withdraw the question.”

 

“And on that note,” Convoy spoke up, “we're going to forget we heard what TK said.” He crossed his arms in front of him to show that he meant it, or else.

 

“We are?” Kurumi asked, puzzled.

 

Convoy looked right at her. “Yes… or else I'm going to play `squeeze-toy' with the necks of anyone who won't forget!”

 

Gulping, Kurumi gave a nod of acknowledgement. Gina did the same, knowing from experience not to mess with Convoy.

 

Two minutes later, the bedroom door opened and Nancy came out followed by TK, who was rubbing his sore ear. “Raven,” she said calmly, yet with firmness, “you will be staying in my room, as will Emma, Gina and Kurumi. My son and I will be staying in his room. And there will be NO objections of any kind or I'll throw you out. Is that clear?”

 

“Yes, ma'am,” all the girls said, even Kurumi.

 

Taking a deep breath, Nancy let her anger go before speaking again. “Now… since my son has finally come home, I think a pizza party is in order. Wouldn't you all agree?”

 

It was then that Ben let out a yawn. “Count me out. I'm drained after our last battle before we jumped.”

 

Now that Nancy noticed, and the others admitted it, they were indeed tired. She checked her watch, which read 6:37PM. “Then we'll put it off till tomorrow. However, I do have some phone calls to make; the others should know that TK's home-.”

 

TK stopped his mother just as her had gripped the phone. “Let's do that tomorrow,” he said, “because as soon as they know, they'll come right over and we won't be able to rest.”

 

Nancy looked at TK for a moment, and then relaxed her grip on the receiver. “Okay. Plus, I assume you want to figure out how to introduce your girlfriend to everyone, especially to Matt, Kari, and Davis.”

 

And are those two in for a shocker, TK thought. Despite Mom finding out about Raven and me… it feels good to be home.

 

 

End chapter 1

 

 

Next: Whoa, whoa, whoa! How the hell did all this happen?! That's what you're thinking, isn't it? Am I right? I'll get to it, eventually. Anyway, it's the next morning, and right before breakfast, Kari and Davis show up along with Matt to see if TK returned. It's the beginning of love complications, as Davis falls for Raven and Kari wants to make amends with TK by becoming his girlfriend. Not if Raven has anything to say about it!

 

Stay tuned.
