Kyrainia just narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Chris.
" Look here technology-boy. I never said that there was ANYTHING wrong with silver hair. It's different. That's all the heck I'm saying. Though...I've gotta say...the silver hair's kinda...weird, to say the least. You WOULD find another way to make your self more special and better than everyone else...wouldn't you?" Kyrainia rolled her eyes. "Bloody..."
Chris narrowed his eyes. "Wasn't exactly by choice, Kyrainia..."
" I never exactly said that it was by choice techno-boy..." Kyrainia rolled her eyes.
Chris grinned. "Love that nickname!" He snickered at watching Ky's riposte fall flat.
Isthian went off in search of more girls. Which, of course, lead back to the Silver Gang. "Heya!"
"Oh, hi, Thian."
"How's it all going, huh? Anything fun? Wild?"
Fiona also walked toward the group, purposely avoid Isthian. "What's happening... here?"
" Besides Chris being his usual jerky self...nothing..."
Chris sighed. "Not much... besides my hair somehow staying silver..." He proceeded to explain yet AGAIN why his hair was silver.
"Nope....Nothing really Thian...So.....What ya wanna do?"
Isthian sidled up to Taira. "Well, I'm up for just about anything..."
Taira smirked. "Oh, really.....Oh great leader...." Smirks as if she knows something he doesn't.
"'Oh great leader'? I like the sound of that! Anything else ya wanna say to me?"
" Your so....so......" It was that point she turned and thwacked him up side the head for no reason. "So gullible.....Later handsome" She giggles and stand over by Fiona...."Sup girl?"
Chris laughed for a few seconds. "Nice, Teeg!"
"Not much on my side," Fiona said, taking her gaze off of Isthian. "What was going on over THERE?"
Kyrainia grinned slightly at the situation at hand.
Isthian was dazed. "I'm... handsome.... wheeeee....."
Taira turned to the silver haired boy and said..."You men are all alike.... Did the same to you"
Chris blinked. "You...did?"
Isthian was offended. "YOU DID??"
Fiona giggled. It WAS quite amusing.
"I...really don't remember you slapping me." Chris said.
Isthian grumbled. "I sure remember them slapping me..." He rubbed his now normally-colored cheeks.
"It's no surprise Isthian remembers getting slapped." said Fiona.
Chris sighed and looked at Thian. "You certainly do seem like the type to get slapped, in my opinion, Hanasaki."
"Well, how about I remember doing something else, now?" Isthian sidled up to Fiona this time.
"Aww...Thian you poor guy...I'll never slap anyone else but you my kawaii Neko....." With that she smiled and turned to Chris "Yes, Yes I did!"
As if on cue, Fiona scooted away from Isthian as soon as he got too close.
Chris blinked. "That must be one of my patchy memories."
Isthian sighed. "Lucky you."
Chris shook his head. "Not necessarily."
"Yes, necessarily!"
Fiona just nodded.
Taira nods too.
Isthian sweatdropped. "If I nodded, too, would you go out with me?"
Chris sighed. "I wonder when my hair will turn back...." Suddenly, he felt a stronger tingling. His hair had started to glow brightly. It got brighter and brighter...
" Gads Chris...more of a freak by the minute." Kyrainia sighed.
"HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER LOOK AT THAT!" yelled Fiona.
"I'M BLIND!" Taira gasped.
"I always knew you were a freak," commented Isthian.
Finally, the tingling faded, and so did the brightness. Chris moved over to the lake shore and looked at his reflection. "WHAT THE HECK?" One part of his hair, hanging slightly down over his face (like a kawaii curl on top of his face, but not a curl) was still silver!
Isthian sweatdropped. "Do ALL Americans do that?"
Kamika walked back to the group, just in time to see Chris's hair glowing. Without noticing, She muttered, "Nani?" She ran up to Taira. "What's going on?" She asked.
Puttimon nodded in her arms. "Why does everything interesting happen when humans get here?" She asked. Kamika sweatdropped.
"Nothing much Kamika....Chris's hair is back to normal!" She smiled innocently, "Although his memory is still....gone"
Chris blinked, turning back from the lake. "Actually, my memory's not gone.... only some parts of it are gone. Most of the important stuff, I got back
Taira blinked "Yeah, what he said....most of it's gone"
Kamika nodded. "Oh. .. ." She turned to Chris. "are you okay?" She asked.
Chris nodded. "Besides my hair whacking out and partially staying silver, which may look cool, I admit, and the fact that Taira keeps getting it wrong.... I got MOST of my memory back, but SOME is still gone! ...but yeah, I'm okay."
Taira smirked "My bad...." I liked the white look....made you all punk rocker"
Kamika sweatdropped. "That's good, Chris-kun. . ." She smiled brightly.
Chris sweatdropped. "My hair was only white for a second or two... but whatever you say."
Taira smirks.. "Anyways...did you two resolve your fight?"
Kamika sweatdropped.
Chris nodded. "Yeah, we did... I think. Unless I forgot something, I'm sure we did." He sweatdropped.
Kamika blinked. "Huh?" She asked cluelessly.
Taira face vaulted "Nevermind..."
Kamika just blinked. "Okay. . ." she said slowly.
Chris sighed. He wasn't really sure whether his hair staying silver was a good sign at all or not. He looked over at Kamika, who was looking at him oddly. "What's up, Kami-chan?"
Kamika shook her head. "Nothing Chris-kun." She said quickly and sat down.
Chris looked at her searchingly. She was hiding something.... but if she didn't want to tell him yet, that was fine. He trusted her. "Whatever you say.... I trust you. If you really want to tell me something, though, I'll always listen to you. You know that."
Kamika nodded. "Thank you Chris-kun. . ." Unintentionally, tears started to fall. "No. .. She muttered. "Why now?"
Chris blinked. That was unexpected. He went over and sat next to Kamika, wiping away a few of her tears. "Kami-chan," he said gently, "What's wrong?"
Kamika sobbed into his shoulder. "Chris-kun. . . It's coming back. . It's coming back. . " She murmured
Chris held her gently. "What's coming back?"
"A memory. . .a bad memory. . ." She mumbled.
With a slight touch of humor, Chris quipped, "Well, I seem to have had a little too much experience with those lately... Maybe I can help."
Kamika started to sniffle. "But. . . You're part of the reason it came back. . " She blurted out.
Chris blinked. That had been unexpected, too. "Did I... do something wrong?" he asked.
Kamika slightly nodded then slightly shook her head. "It was when you had amnesia. . ."
"Yes?" Chris waited for her to continue. "Go on. Get it all out."
"Do you remember when you kissed Taira? That. . . That sparked the memory . . . "
"That, somewhat unfortunately, is something I still remember. Tell me, what is the memory that's causing you so much pain?"
Kamika shook her head, tears starting to fall again. "I. . I don't want to say. . .Please. . . I hate this memory!" She exclaimed, clutching onto him.
Chris held her, letting her cry herself out. "Kamika, trust me on this." He lifted her face to look at him. "It's much better to let it out than to keep it inside. Then, once you've let it out, you can release it."
Kamika looked at him and nodded. "Well. . It happened a year ago. . ."
FLASHBACK
A 13-year old Kamika Farinas is seen walking down a corridor of school. She ran into a close friend of hers and long time crush, Tone Tokishyma. "Hi Tone!" She smiled happily. Tone looked at her. "So. . . Kamika? Do you. . . Um. . . want to go. . .Uh. . Eat some Pizza after school?" He asks hesitantly.
Kamika smiled. "Yes! That'd be great!" She exclaimed, blushing at the same time. Tone nodded and smiled. He started to turn around. "So. . .Um. . I'll see you after school then?"
Kamika nodded. "Sure!" She sighed as she leaned against her locker, watching his figure walk away.
Suddenly someone started to talk beside her. "Soo. . .I see he asked you out?" Kamika turned to see her best friend, Ayame.
Kamika nodded and sighed at the same time. "Yeah. . . " She mumbled out, still thinking of him.
Ayame laughed. "That's good. I was wondering when he could."
Kamika grinned. "I'm so happy!"
Ayame laughed again. "I can tell. . " She started to turn around. "I'll see you later, okay?"
Kamika nodded. "Sure. . ." She exhaled.
Afterschool. . .
Kamika stepped out outside her last class. 'YES! My date with Tone is on!' She thought happily. She walked over to her locker to see something at the corner of her eye. She turned to see Tone kissing another girl. Kamika blinked. 'That can't be Tone. . .' She tried to assure herself in her mind. What shocked her even more was the sight of her friend, Ayame kissing him too. 'No. .. .' She started to think. "NO!!!" She yelled out loud. Her eyes started to well up with tears. Tone and Ayame turn to see Kamika. Tone's eyes went wide. "Kamika!" He blurted out. Kamika backed away from him. "How could you? HOW COULD YOU?!!?!" She yelled angrily. At the corner of her eye, she saw Ayame slightly smiling. 'My best friend. . . She betrayed me. . .' Kamika thought. She started to back away. "I HATE YOU!!! BOTH OF YOU!!" She yelled. She turned around quickly and started to run, not caring who she would run into.
FLASHBACK ENDED. . .
Kamika sobbed, hugging Chris. "That's what happened. .." She mumbled. "And it hurts to think about it. ."
Chris sighed. "Wow.... that's one heck of a nasty memory... I'm so sorry, Kami-chan." He nodded. "But now that you've told it and let it go, doesn't it feel better?"
Kamika nodded slightly. "Thank you Chris-kun. . .." She wiped away her tears. "I feel like such a dope now. . ." She mumbled. "Thank you for listening. . ."
Chris shook his head, hugging her. "Don't feel like you're a dope. You're not. Everyone has bad times in their past. Yours just happened to be a bit more harsh than others'. And as for the listening part, that's what I'm here for!" He smiled.
Kamika smiled and hugged him. "Thank you. . ." She said softly.
"Kami-chan, anytime! I'll always be here for you, no matter what!"
Kamika stared at his eyes. 'He's such a good boyfriend. . ' She thought. She started to lean closer to him, without knowing.
Chris smiled. 'What a great girlfriend! What a lucky guy I am!' he thought, unconsciously leaning in as well.
Her lips touched his. Kamika was in slight shock but she gave into the kiss.
Chris's eyes popped open, this being his first real kiss. But then he leaned into it, enjoying it as well.
Finally, and all too soon, the kiss ended. Chris looked at Kamika, and smiled. "Thank you... I love you, Kami-chan."
Kamika smiled. "Aishiteru. . ." She mumbled and hugged him.
Isthian watched Tsafmon frantically chase Tekumon for a moment. "Geez... that little lizard thingy gets freakier by the moment... Huh. Well. Guess I better do something, huh?" He paused his conversation with himself to think for a few seconds. "Nothing to do. But everybody KNOWS that girls love a strong leader, so..." He started shouting. "OKAY, PEOPLE!! ENOUGH OF A BREAK HERE!! Let's geetttttt MOVING!!"
Chris slanted his eyes toward Isthian and glared at him. "Can't you see we're having a moment over here?"
Isthian made a face at Chris. "No, but I can see you TRYING to have one. Come on, she doesn't like you! Get over yourself."
Chris growled and ran a finger through his hair, trying to decide what to do to Thian. He apparently didn't remember what had happened last time he did something to Thian, though, because he got up, apologizing to Kamika, and started walking over to Thian. He stepped into a patch of sunlight, and his hair somehow started reflecting it a bit.
Isthian went bug-eyed. "Aiiiiiiyeeeeee!! SILVER!! The Modernistic Pod Man returns!! HE'S AN ALIEN I TELL YOU!!! AN ALIIIIEEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!" He started running around screaming his message.
Chris grabbed his shoulder as he went running past, smirking as he thought of a way to get revenge on Thian, in a nonviolent way of course... That didn't include mental damage, though. "Thian, calm down! I have something to tell you!"
Isthian kept running in place for a few seconds, in classic cartoon style, before getting a bit calmer. Although still a bit panicky. "Tell me? Tell me what?"
Chris smirked. "Tell you..." He got in real close, whispering in Thian's ear. "Okay, you found me out. I'm really from the planet Naroom. But please don't blow my cover, or my allies will have to disintegrate this place to ensure our safety from your primitive nuclear weapons. Clear on that?"
Isthian stood, shocked, for a few moments. Then... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" He tore away from Chris as quickly as his feet could carry him.
Chris snickered, concentrating for a few seconds, to deliver the finishing blow. His hair glowed silver, and he established a link with Thian's digital watch, reconfiguring the speakers. Chris's voice suddenly came out of Thian's watch. "Remember... not a word to anyone, or Earth dies!"
That just caused Isthian to freak even more. He fled, screaming hysterically, into the woods.
Chris waved bye-bye to him, breaking the link to the watch. He would come back... eventually. Probably when he got hungry or needy of female companionship. He went back to sit next to Kamika, sighing in happiness.
Chris yawned and stretched. It had been a long day, and it was getting late. He called out, "I think it's time to go to sleep. All play and no sleep makes tired digimon and kiddies!"
Tekumon sighed. "We didn't even really get to play tag... Oh well. There's always tomorrow."
Chris grinned. "Goodnight everyone!" He lay back against a tree and dropped off to sleep, with his arm still around Kamika.
His last thought before drifting off was "Hope Thian makes it back safe."
Christo yawned. "I'm going to sleep." she said.
And she took off her backpack, and went to sleep. Labramon followed suit.
"Good point," said Fiona. "I'm going to bed too. See you guys tomorrow."
Kamika snuggled next to Chris. Puttimon laid next to her and Kamika fell asleep smiling.
