A Brand New Start to a Brand New Day, Open

[Black Snow]

( No It's fine I meant for it to miss :3)

"Shit." Taiki exclaimed to himself as he used his spear to come to a knee. The little scorpion creature had deflected his attack and caused him to slam into the wall. Now his whole body hurt. Not a diblitating pain but more of a dull ache that reminded you that you weren't immortal. It was this pain that sobered Taiki up.(He's not quite as crazy as he was a minute ago)

Apparently his enemy hadn't learned that enough for he seemed to be repeating the same maneuver that Taiki had just tried. An all out charge. Unfortunately for the other he had forgotten an important part of Taiki's arsenal. His gun. In this small space the weapon would be deadly but if he killed his opponent surely there would be nothing stopping the monstrosity hidden in his shirt from killing Taiki. He'd have to hold off on his revenge.

As his adversary neared Taiki pulled his gun from it's holster." You fool." He muttered to himself as he fired off four rounds, the last two held in reserve. His shots were aimed at the legs and lower torso so as to disable his opponent and not kill him. With such a small distance it'd take a miracle to not at least graze him.

One grazed his side but the other made contact into his thigh. Sonji fell hard to his side, eyes clinched in pain and blood spilling onto his hands. The hurt was mind numbing and the crimson was thrilling. His eyes looked up at Taiki and a grin stretched his features.

"Nice shot I suppose."

On his chest Darshan was immobilized and shaking. It was from fear but anger, rage boiling in him. He snarled at the other Tamer and slowly dislodged himself from Sonji's chest, tail raised and ready to fight off the attacker.

He thrust his tail forwards and struck at Taiki, teeth bared and snarl echoing from him.

[Black Snow]

Got him. Taiki thought as his opponent went down clutching a bleeding leg. Unfortunately Taiki’s victory was short lived because not but a few seconds after hitting the floor the man’s digimon sprang at Taiki. Its tail aimed to kill.

Taiki swung the spear around and barely intercepted the creature’s tail. Taiki had to use all of his might to hold of the little creature. It’s really strong, Taiki thought to himself in disbelief that such a small creature could pack such a punch. Luckily Taiki had held something in reserve for such an occasion.

“Back off digimon or I’ll kill your master!” Taiki shouted at the leech as he aimed his gun for the man on the ground, emphasizing his point by cocking the hammer of his gun. Taiki’s experience with digimon was that they possessed enough intelligence to be able to distinguish a hopeless fight from one it could win. Of course he’d been wrong before.

Darshan bared his teeth at Taichi before scuttling to stand between the gun and Sonji's head, tail twitching. It itched with the want to strike, to kill any that opposed his tamer, but the Arkadimon held it fast.

Behind him he could hear the alternate personality's growls of pain and the shift of his body as he stood. White and red eyes glared down and up at the DATs member, blood dripping down between digimon and tamer.

A pained smirk suddenly came to Sonji's face before everything darkened. He receeded, leaving a frightened and pained child in his wake. Kinsei slowly felt and clutched at his leg, whimpering. His black gaze traveled up to Taiki and he trembled.

"Please... Don't take us to DAT's...

Kinsei jumped as Darshan crawled onto his leg and began to lap at it gently. His hands gripped his thigh tighter as his digimon's teeth and tongue delved deeper painfully. The Arkadimon was on a search and destroy mission for the bullet.

[Black Snow]

What Had I been thinking? Taiki thought to himself as he saw the other man wince in pain while his digimon licked his wounds. What did I think I was going to do after I killed him? Taiki thought mentally pounding on a wall in anger.

"Please... Don't take us to DAT's” The man whimpered to him apparently switching from his more violent self to this one. He looks so pitiful. Taiki thought pitying the other man. Well the truth is I’d probably get in deep shit if I brought him back with me. I mean I was on leave and all that. Taiki reasoned to himself in silence. [i] Well I can decide later, first things first. Let’s get out of here. Taiki said to himself with resolve knowing what needed to be down.

“As soon as your digimons done stand up so we can get the hell out of here. Maybe then I’ll consider not turning you in.” Taiki replied in a gruff voice.

[lost]

'Decide. Hah. You? If anything, I'll decide whether or not we go back.'

Sonji's voice growled in his head, echoing with the pain. Kinsei ignored him, knowing very well that the words had no real truth to them. Instead he focused on Darshan's long tongue imbedded in his still bleeding wound. The aposeable muscle slipped eerily over tendons before finally curling around something.

Darshan gave a jerk and pulled the bullet out, spatting it at the ground. Kinsei had cried out as he did, hand flying to his wound. Fresh blood bubbled out of it, the stem that had began broken after the harsh treatment. The Arkadimon gave it one final, affectionant lick before scuttling up onto Kinsei's shoulder.

He held on while his tamer stumbled to his feet. All of his weight shifted to one leg, his hand still pressing hard onto the wound in a vein attempt to ease blood flow. As he did so though, he face was pale and his heart was racing.

Hemaphobia was a horrible curse. Kinsei would know, having a incredably bad case of it.

[Black Snow]

Smart little bugger Taiki thought to himself as he watched the little creature yank the bullet out of the other man's leg. I'll have to watch the thing closly. Taiki thought determined to not be out smarted by a leech.

The energy spear that Taiki had slowly receded into his digivice since he knew he wouldn't be needing it for a while. That done Taiki walked behind the man and leveled the gun at his back.

" Now walk slowly out of the building and into the front lot where my car is." Taiki said slowly to the other man. " You already know what will happen if you try to run. Besides I have something to temporarily patch up your leg sitting in the car."Taiki said after noticing the bad color of the's skin. God I hope he doesn't die. Taiki's thoughts now the complete opposite of what they had been earlier. " OH And while your at it you ca tell me your names." Taiki added as if he had suddenly remembered that he didn't know his opponent's name.

Kinsei shivered a bit and looked back at him frightenedly. "K-Kinsei..."he said before glancing to the digimon on his shoulder and continuing,"And he's Darshan..."

Darshan gave a low growl towards Taiki, hostile to anyone who dared threaten his Tamer as this man was. Suddenly the dagger like scorpion shot hard and fast at Taiki's gun, aiming to knock it out of the bastard's hand.

In truth, the Arkadimon had heard what Taiki had said but thought it stupid of him to hold his tamer at gun point. How is Kinsei to run, afterall, with a bleeding leg? It's a bit like a one legged, no arm man kicking a cop although he'd recieved data about such a man somewhere...

As the leech struck Kinsei froze, petrified by the idea that Darshan still had such a vehement fight left in him. He didn't dare shift in position nor give any indication of attempting a difficult and painful run for it.

[Black Snow]

I was right to watch it, Taiki thought to himself as the leech struck aiming to knock his gun away. Taiki was miraculously able to get it out of the way with out it accidentally discharging into Kinsei's back. "Idiot!"Taiki shouted,rage building up in him again. " This is a revolver Darashan and a hard jolt could have released the hammer from it's spring and caused it to fire. Then what would you have done knowing you killed your own Tamer?" Taiki shouted, his face red from his anger." Think before you act."

Calm down he said to himself a few times mentally before getting himself under control. " Now get walking before you die of blood loss." Taiki said to Kinsei, his voice devoid of it's previous anger. Perhaps this digimon is more stupid than I thought.Taiki thought, changing his opinion.

[lost]

Darshan snarled, spindly dangerous looking fangs showing. His tail twitched and he slowly he formed words, a feat that proved to shock Kinsei and Sonji completely.

"You're the idiot still pointing it at my tamer."

The voice as a scruffy and angry hiss, the scorpion tail still itching to impale itself into Taiki's head. "What do you expect Kinsei to do? Hobble away from you? Stupid boy." He fell silent slowly, red slits still glaring daggers upon the human.

Through his fear and shock, Kinsei slowly managed to move, wincing a bit. "You know... He's right..."he murmured thinly,"N-not about the stupid boy part but the hobble away part... It's not like you have to keep pointing your gun at me..."

He allowed his eyes to drift away, trying to ignore the wet seep of blood down his thigh and through his pant.s

[Black Snow]

“Whoever said I was pointing the gun at Kinsei?” Taiki chuckled. “I’m pointing this gun at the other one inside him. I don’t trust him at all.” Taiki said with a wave of the gun towards Kinsei.

His condition is worsening by the minute. Taiki thought worriedly as he watched Kinsei try to limp out of the room. At this rate he’s going to die before we even make it out of the room. Taiki mentally sighed to himself. Looks as if I’ll have to carry him out of here. Perhaps I should have just killed him; he’d be a lot less trouble then. Taiki thought cynically.

Still not trusting the other side to Kinsei Taiki popped open the revolver’s cylinder and removed the bullets, placing them safely in his pant pocket. Once that was done he holstered the gun so he’d have his hands free.

“Look your going too slow.” Taiki said in an irritated voice as he walked up in front of Kinsei and kneeled down his hands out behind him. “Just hop onto my back and I’ll carry you to the car.” He said trying to hide his face since he found this kinda embarrassing to be carrying your enemy on your back like a little kid. I hope he’s not too heavy.

Kinsei looked at him and through his pale face of fear he flushed.

"Are you crazy?"

It had been a stupid question. Of course the guy was crazy. He'd just spent three weeks tracking down a man because he'd beaten him in a battle and gotten away. And then he shot him, for christ sakes and wanted to now fix it!!!

Kinsei continued to give the man a look of pure absurdity, Sonji's voice egging him on in his head.

'Just get up there before we die, you moron. And tell him I'm not interest in him.'

The monster's smirk made his skin crawl before Kinsei slowly hobbled over to Taiki. Slowly he reached up a bloody hand before freeze. He shook at the site of the blood, feeling his head swim. He was going down!

His body hit the ground with a thump, his face deathly pale. Darshan had bounded off his shoulder and onto Taiki's back as his tamer fell and looked on with curious red eyes. He could tell his master was fine and had simply fainted out of fear. The question was if Taiki knew that.

[Black Snow]

"Shit."Taiki exclaimed as he heard Kinsei's body hit the floor. He ignored the leech digimon that had suddenly transferred to his back as he bent down to check Kinsei's pulse. He was alive but his pulse was a bit weaker than it should be. He needed the hole in his leg patched up.

The training in the Dats academy had of course covered the best way to carry a fallen comrade but it had left out whether these practices should be applied to wounded adversaries you decide to take pity on. Still Taiki bent over and scooped up the prone form of Kinsei, with a bit of effort. He's lighter than I expected Taiki thought to himself sarcastically. With that last thought he began to exit the hotel with the fainted Kinsei in his arms.

[lost]

Darshan scuttled up on to Taiki's shoulder, his little body tense and his red eyes glaring at the DATs member. His body langauge clearly said that any funny business from him would not be appreciated and the way the dagger like tail twitched clearly said that it would result in his death.

The eery little digimon's eyes never left the untrustworthy, slightly crazy Tamer as Kinsei's mind allowed him to slowly drop back into exsistance. "Too much blood..."he stammered, keeping his eyes jammed shut not only because of a headache but because he was afraid to see the red blood.

His breath hitched. "G-get it off me soon, please?"he asked in a whimper. Just the thought of the crimson substance caused his heart to jump into his throat. It was hard to breath around it.

'You wimp.'

'Shut up!'
