Welcome Back

[Usachan]

Even though she knew it was an act, Usa couldnt stab the pervy blob. She put the fork down, patted his head awkwardly, put him to the side, scooped up Kulumon and walked over to Teo. "Shall we follow the others?" she asked him quietly.

Vee watched all this, then went over to Yang and narrowed his eyes. "Next time you try that, you're dead." With that, he went over to Usa's side and looked around.

Mikemon held back tears as she crossed one paw over her chest and bowed. "Yes my Lord Asuramon." She turned and went back to the room they had been eating in, masking her emotions as she had been taught. "Well, the lot of ye seem to have left the eating hall. Ye shall have to decide how to go to and where the lot of ye shall be going next. I shall be joining ye, as per Lord Asuramon's request." She nodded and stood in the doorway, waiting to see how this would be handled.

[Teo Sage]

Yami walked past Usa and his brother and made his way towards Yang. "Your called Yang right? I don't believe we've had a chance to introduce ourselves properly. My name is Yami." Yami held out his small hand for Yang to shake.

"You seem like a guy I could come to like." Yami added as he gave a toothy smile with the few teeth he had in his current form.

Teo looked at Usa "Yea." He said Teo looked around "Hey, where did Yami go? I thought he went to you." Teo asked.

[shivdeeviant]

Yang watched Usa go, envying the little white digimon for its position. He snapped his fingers and turned to the blue one that had talked to him. This one seemed genuine in his happiness in seeing Yang, which was new. Perhaps...

Perhaps Yang had found a viable playmate.

"Hi! I'm Yang! What do you do here new friend?!" He said gleefully. Sadly, Yang didn't wait for Yami to answer, opting instead to tackle the little guy and sit on his chest. Thus pinned, he would tickle him mercilessly. Telling Shiv could come later.

Yin watched his brother play with a comfortable yet wary eye. He stood ready to intercede should the mood turn serious.

Shiv was at an impasse. The two he had been travelling with were leaving, and they didn't seem to be in a mood to wait for the others to catch up. His heart ached to gather his partner and follow. As the shadows of the corridor ate up their figures, Shiv turned and walked into the room. This was a good opportunity to separate himself, regain his objectivity in these matters. They knew of his ability, they would know to respect him in the future. Shiv heaved a sigh as he set himself on his path.

Surely they could handle themselves.

Renal was standing in the room about to go back to Atlas. Shiv was leaving and now it was just digimon and two humans, Teo and Usa. "I'm bored." Renal said thinking out loud. "Well this is interesting." Renal said watching the two digimon greet each other. Renal was staring intensely at the two.

[Teo Sage]

Yami was in shock when Yang tackled him before he could reply. This was the first time something like this has ever happened to him. He never had any other digimon friends besides his brother, so he didn't know how to react especially since Yang had called him "friend" a word Yami doesn't normally associate himself with.

Suddenly, Yami felt a warm feeling that was centered in his stomach; it felt good. Then Yang proceeded to tickle him; the pink digimon's fingers caused another unfamiliar reaction.

Yami started to laugh and not because someone told him a joke; whatever Yang was doing was causing him to laugh, so much in fact he was flailing about and tearing and it was fun. Yami had an idea if this was fun for him and made him laugh maybe he could do it to. It's worth a try right?

Yami used his strength and pushed off the floor to roll over onto Yang then attempted to tickle him in return. "I'm here to...help...Teo." Yami said with his tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth concentrating on his tickling.

Teo turned to see Mikemon "It's good to have you Mikemon!" Teo was still wondering about Yami's whereabouts and heard laughing coming from the hall. "Excuse me." He said to Mikemon and peeked out the door to see the two digimon.

Teo smiled it seems Yami found someone to his liking after all.

[Dante]

Meanwhile, somewhere amongst the many hallways in this place the protagonists found themselves in, a boy brooded past, a small cat in his arms. While technically the animal resembled more a dog than a cat at the moment, the creature would become incredibly indignant at being compared to any kind of canid whatsoever. At the moment, however, the cat was slumbering, hanging in that practised balance between true sleep and complete wakefulness. Cats were masters of this state by very nature, suspending themselves in a state of sleep accompanied by full awareness of their surroundings. Humans have tried to emulate this technique for years, with only minor success.

The human carrying this cat, however, was not interested in this inborn ability. He was more preoccupied with trying to find a way out of the structure they found themselves in. The downside to this pursuit was that he was unconscious when he entered the structure, so he had absolutely nothing to tell him which direction might be the exit. It didn't trouble him too much, though. He was going off the rails, and he knew it. Part of leaving the beaten track was finding one's own way. Still, it would be nice to actually get out of this crazy cathedral place. As he walked, he continued to brood over the alleged purpose for his presence in this world. The sovereigns had called all of them because this world needed an angel. Well, they all had another thing coming. If the world needed an angel so badly, then they might as well content themselves with the other chosen, because Dante was no one's angel. Such were his thoughts as he strode down the hall, taking whatever turns felt right to him at the time. This quest would lead to a door eventually. All he needed to do was be patient, and the solution would come to him.

[Inori]

Inori had thus far managed to keep herself from getting lost following Dante, mostly in thanks to her partner's unusually keen sense of direction. A bonus Inori was more then a little thankful for, knowing she often got lost.

The pair kept rather quiet as they moved, Inori not particularly wishing to make much of a nuisance of herself while Dante was so lost in thought and Wizardmon generally seemed to prefer the silence at the moment. He had a fair bit on his mind. The whole situation placed before him by Asuramon and company was not something he had calculated for.


Alchemon on the other hand, was lurking in the shadows, watching the antics of the others. Honestly, he wanted nothing to do with them, but Inori and Wizardmon had fled the room before he had noticed, so he found himself a little trapped

[shivdeeviant]

Yang fell backwards as the blue rookie returned his play. Yami even seemed to have the upper hand but for the fact that Yang's malleable body allowed him to squirm out from under him.

"Ha ha!" Cried Yang in triumph, "I am free!"

He slapped Yami on the forehead shouting, "Tag! You're it!" And then squeezed impossibly fast through a small hole in the wall.

Man, being squishy rocks! thought Yang happily as he sprinted through the darkness.

Yin was happy to see his brother happy, but was quickly dismayed when Yang started a new game. Yin shot through the doorway of the next room but was unable to see his brother amidst the rubble and shadows. Calling would do no good, not when Yang was in a playing mood. Yin grit his teeth and flew out the doorway again.

"I know not this place, or how safe it is when only that digimon is guarding it," he said in Shiv's general direction before turning his attention to Yami, "Nor do I care your intentions in playing with him. If any harm befalls my brother I hang it on your diminutive shoulders."

Yin's eyes hardened as he turned to fly with all haste down the corridor. He knew it wasn't the blue idiot's fault his brother ran off, and if Yang got hurt he would only blame himself. Yin ground his teeth and quickened his pace.

Shiv was bewildered and yet thoroughly unsurprised. He looked at the others and put on an embarrassed face, scratching the back of his head.

"Sorry, everyone," he said sheepishly, his cheeks flushing slightly, "He really didn't mean it."

Then Shiv turned and started jogging in the opposite direction of Yin. Team relations had to get off to a better start than last time if Shiv wanted to have a better team than last time. He might have gotten more attached to his last companions than he thought, but that wouldn't happen again. But to the current point...

"Yang!" Called Shiv, "Where are you?!"

Renal saw all the commotion and kind of wanted to be apart of it. He watched Yang and Yami. "Seems fun." Renal thought to himself. "I need friends!" Renal said out loud and plopped to the floor. "I guess i better get back to Atlas. Besides right now he's the only one i can consider a 'friend'." Renal said. He got up then started looking in every direction. "Oh no! I don't remember which direction he went in." Renal said. He looked around frantically. "Maybe that direction." Renal said choosing a random direction and started walking.
