Knowledge is Power (Ying/Invite)

[Tian]

Tian and Tsukaimon watched as his cousin commanded her new Digimon partner to put out the fires that he had most childishly started. "Those two are going to be trouble," whispered Tsukaimon. Tian didn't pay the little Digimon any mind, but he did make a note of how quickly Ying had gotten her partner to obey her. At least the fires were out now, which was the most important thing to worry about when trying to keep these things under wraps.

Heeding his cousin's advice, Tian quickly grabbed his things and followed her out of the room. He wasn't sure what exactly there was to discuss about this Digimon business as neither of them knew that much to begin with about it, but the way she had said it did make him wonder. His cousin was definitely a peculiar girl, so Tian would probably have to keep an eye on her from now on.

His cousin's comparison of him to his younger sister was insulting, but he figured that it was quite accurate at the time. Tian needed to keep a better control over his emotions. "I do believe that girls are supposed to mature faster than boys, but apparently you believe that idea to be false." He wondered if these conversations were going to become a common thing between the two of them because their respective parents might ask where their real children went.

Tsukaimon kept his eyes on Dracomon as he didn't trust the would be dragon. There was no way that he was going to let the lizard digivolve before he did, so that meant that Tian was going to have to help him accomplish that task. The two of them were a team after all.

Ying was the type to take charge, which is what she did. Though the situation was like any other she has ever dealt with, she was going to show this ‘digimon’ of hers that she was in charge. And while she will be benefiting him, she still demands obedience. And it seemed like dracomon didn’t mind obeying her anyways.

Ying moved to the elevator, quickly leaving the floor they had successfully trashed. Turning to her dracomon, she opened her bag and motioned for him to get in. “In, you can’t be seen.” she told him. Dracomon frowned, not very fond of being stuffed in a bag. But never the less hew flew up, and climbed into the bag. Though he stick his head out to look around. So long as he didn’t move much this should be fine. And Ying didn’t seem to have much trouble with it.

When Tian began to grumble over her comment, she just chuckled at him. “Now now, no need to get so hurt over it cuz.” said Ying with a wink as she nudged him. “It’s perfectly acceptable for a boy your age to be rather immature at times. So no worries.” she said right before the door to the elevator opened and she walked out.

Now…where to go where they could learn more about these digimon….hm…

[Tian]

Tian followed his cousin onto the elevator in order to leave the vicinity of the charred remains of what had probably been some important books. He watched as Ying made Dracomon get into her bag due to the fact that the Digimon would cause an uproar the likes of which this world has never seen in many years, which would not be a good thing.

Tsukaimon saw where the situation was going, so he dropped down into Tian's backpack without a word of dislike coming from his mouth. He wasn't going to seem disobedient with that lizard in the room as it would show that Tian did not have his respect, and Tsukaimon knew that Dracomon would say that only the best Tamers had complete control over their partners. That dragon wannabe isn't going to show me up any time soon. I will always be one step ahead of that scaleface.

His cousin's sense of humor must be an acquired taste as he did not believe that telling someone that they were acting immature even if it was true was funny. Tian followed her out of the elevator with no idea where they were going to go. It was not like there was a building that said 'Come Here To Find Out About the Digital World'. "Do you have a particular destination in mind, my dear cousin?"

[Mitsuki Haruno]

Dracomon didn’t think he had to prove anything to the purple bat digimon. Ying didn’t like the thought of destroying books, but there wasn’t anything they could do to fix the ones that were already ruined, the most they could do was avoid being hit with the blame and costs of replacing them. She really didn’t feel like pretending to listen to her father scolding her.

Dracomon grinned, he must really be in tsukaimon’s head if the purple digimon felt it had to ‘prove’ he was better. Silly bat pig. His crimson eyes were taking in every detail of this strange new world he found himself in. What a strange world these humans lived in. But no matter, he was going to trainer hard and become strong. He now had a tamer, and one that seemed like the type that would bring the best out of him. When he returned home to the digital world, he would be stronger! No one will stand in his way!

Ying turned to Tian when he asked where to go. Now that was quite the question. “Hmm…well let’s see….well if you give me some time I am sure I can find other’s with digimon, maybe they will have ideas. But for now we could probably go back to my place. My dad is on a business trip until next week, and I think my mom is out with yours. She left before I left for the library. Unless you have a better idea that is.” said Ying as she crossed her arms and turned to face her older cousin.

[Tian]

Ying's suggestion of using her house as the location for their discussion of Digimon had its perks and its faults. It was indeed better to have a place where they wouldn't be interrupted by anyone that might raise an alarm to the fact that they had a hamster like creature with wings and a mini-dragon in their possession. The major fault was that her mother could show up at anytime, which would definitely cause some problems for them.

"It is up to you, dear cousin. I just hope that you make it clear to Dracomon that his flame had better stay inside of him while in your house. We wouldn't want to have to explain a charred bedroom to your mother." Tian was not trying to be mean or rude, but he did have to mention the possibility that Dracomon might think that his new 'home' might be considered a possible place to practice flame usage.

Tsukaimon was listening to the conversation from inside of Tian's backpack, but he knew that his tamer was making a valid point. Dracomon had indeed been playing with his fire in the library without thinking about the consequences that might arise from such actions. It definitely made the dragon Digimon seem very immature to both Tian and Tsukaimon, which was okay for Tsukaimon as he knew that he was ten times more mature than that scalefaced Digimon.

Ying could make up excuses if her mother showed up, and she would believe her. All she had to say if her mom inquired about Tian being there was that Ying had wanted to get ‘closer to her older cousin since she doesn’t know him real well’. And so long as the digimon behaved, they could be passed off as some sort of new toy, though Ying wasn’t the type to play with toys, her mom never thought to hard on things like that. Her daughter behaved, so she was fine with most things she did. Her father was the hardball, but luckily he wasn’t in town so that wouldn’t be a problem.

“I would worry not cousin. I will keep my…’digimon’ under control.” she said with a smile and nudged her bag. “And you will keep that flame of yours tamed and not release it indoors anywhere unless I tell you to. Part of getting stronger is being able to control your urges and to be able to follow orders when its for the best. So if you want my help then you will listen to me understand?” said Ying as dracomon nodded. Well it didn’t seem like this human would be very fun, but she seemed like she could make him stronger for sure! And that was important! Then he could squash that purple flying pig!

[Tian]

Though he didn't doubt his cousin's ability to be a dominate and intimidating person, a creature such as a Digimon did not seem like something that could be bent to a human's will. At least, they could not be bent for a very long time, and even a short amount of time under someone else's control could turn the Digimon into something even more dangerous than when it began. Tian also knew that Ying would be able to come up with some excuse to make sure that no one caught on to the fact that they were harboring two creatures that could prove to be extremely dangerous to anyone around them, but he hoped that his mother would not ask him about it as he did not want to lie to her about it. Tian really disliked lying to anyone regardless of the circumstance, so he hoped that fate would keep that conversation from happening for a long while.

"So what is that you exactly want to talk about my dear cousin? I don't think anyone will pay attention to two young people having a conversation about 'fictional' creatures while walking down the street. They seem to be quite popular among young people in this town." Speeding up the conversation seemed to be the only thing that Tian could do at this point since he did not know how far from the library was Ying's house and walking in silence was rather suspicious to him outside of the temple, which probably meant that it might seem suspicious to other people as well.
