Innocence

[darkness]

Chaos looked and saw that there was now another person behind the girl he was about to fight. She looked kinda like she could be her younger sister. Suddenly the girl he was about to fight seemed to have lost intrest in the whole thing. Chaos growled "Stupid kid wasting my time.” he said “Goblimon let’s go this is stupid.” he said and then they began to walk off

Great. He had agreed to the battle. What was the point of fighting? It only lead to people getting hurt. He didn't think he'd ever understand Shana's, or anyone's urge to fight. Though he guessed Shana wasn't as terrible. She fought too at least. But those who didn't, and still sent their digimon into pointless battles that they wouldn't fight themselves... Digimon weren't tools to be used like that. They had their own thoughts and personalities too. In his time with Aruraumon, he could tell she wouldn't be fighting if it were for Shana wanting to. Kudamon definitely wasn't someone who enjoyed fighting for game.

When Aruraumon pointed out the presence of another digimon, he turned around to see a smaller girl, holding onto a Lalamon. It was Hanako, Shana's little sister. He hadn't seen much of her though, except for a couple occasions, but through Shana he did at least know her name and that she was Lalamon's tamer. At the sight of her sister, she immediately canceled her fight with the other tamer's Goblimon. Good choi-- oh great. He had celebrated too soon. Of course, as soon as she had told the other tamer off, she turned on her sister.

At least the other tamer was older and wanted to fight. But from hearing her talk to her sister back during that one fateful evening in Shinjuku park, he knew she was with him in the not liking fighting. At least the other tamer wanted to fight. "Shana? Come on. He was a far better opponent. Someone new. Wouldn't he make for a better fight?" He suggested, following her towards Hanako. Hoping that she would consider his point for once and leave the poor girl alone.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako watched her older sister. "Shana-oneechan, why were you about to fight that person? Digimon arent made for just fighting." she said holding onto Lalamon who waited till no one else was around before flying out of her arms and hovering beside Hanako. Hanako swept her eyes to Aruraumon, "Is that your digimon? Shes pretty." She said giving her sister's digimon a kind smile. Lalamon narrowed her eyes at Shana, what did she intend to do?

[Shana Hitoehi]

A wicked grin graced Shana's lips as she looked down at her sister. Standing less than a foot away from her sister as she stared down at her, it was obvious that she was attempting to intimidate the girl. She hoped to instill fear in her eyes, that was the only way Shana could feel so alive. It was how she would enjoy herself. She could have much more fun with her sister than she could have with that other guy.

"Stop admiring Aruraumon. You of all people should know Digimon aren't for looks! They're for fighting!"

Aruraumon's face hung low. She had been hoping for one day where she could just simply enjoy being outside at the park, but it seemed Shana was still looking for a fight. That much, she could not deny Shana. If Shana wanted her to fight, she would. Aruraumon had made a promise to serve Shana the way she saw fit. Perhaps their relationship was a bit more like a servant and master than a friendship. Still, that simply was the way it was.

Shana reached down, picking up Hanako by the collar and bringing her up to eye-level so that she could pierce into her through said portal.

"Where are we going to fight?... I know you can think of a place, and you'd better come up with something good Hanako."

[marik]

Marik bit his lip. Shana was completely ignoring him, and now she was picking a fight with her sister, when her sister didn't want any part of it. He wouldn't stop her from fighting a fair fight with those who were willing, but what she was doing now, was far from fair, and he couldn't stand back as she man-handled her little sister. "Stop it now!" He shouted pulling Hanako out of her grasp, setting her back on the ground before turning on Shana. It had been weeks since he had been this angry with her. That was back when she had attacked him out of no where.

Kudamon, sensing the danger, slipped out of his tamer's collar, and hovered near Hanako, prepared to strike her should Shana turn on him. Marik meanwhile, continued. He wasn't yelling anymore, but his glare, and less than happy tone made it easy to tell he was no pleased in the slightest. "You can go fight the older tamers all you like. I won't stop you there. But there is nothing more weak and despicable than picking on a kid half your size!" He said sternly, fighting to keep himself from yelling again.

"If you want to fight so much, then fight Kudamon." He finished. At that Kudamon shifted to stand before Aruraumon, ready to battle should his tamer give the order. It was clear he would rather face Shana himself than let her pick on those smaller than herself.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako was lifted up, eyes squinted shut. Her collar was rubbing against her neck, causing some pain. "Shana-oneechan..." She said staring at her with a sad gaze. "Im not going to fight you...no matter what you do to me..." However, just as fast as she was lifted up, she was set down. Her eyes were wide as she stared at Marik. This was the boy that had been with her sister, she wanted to thank him but remained quiet. She felt something pull her close, it was Lalamon. "Lala..." She said as the digimon held her close. "Shh...its alright." The digimon reassured.

[Shana Hitoehi]

Shana was forced to let go of Hanako as she was pulled away. She wasn't actually angry with her sister or anything, but now that things weren't exactly going her way she was growing to be irritated by the whole situation. She thought Marik of all people would understand, but it seemed he didn't quite get it either. Actually she didn't really understand why she acted like that either, but she tried not to think about it. It made her feel better about herself to be completely in control, and now they were trying to take it away from her.

"Marik-kun... I-.. I-..."

She turned toward Marik as he yelled at her, her eyes wide opened. She was a deer in the headlights and she had no idea what to do. She couldn't explain what she was doing, there was really no explanation for it. All she wanted was to secure her spot of authority, of course, there was no way she could say that to him. She could never admit that. What was she supposed to say to him?

"... Shana..."

Aruraumon had her eyes glued on Shana. She could hardly believe that Marik seemed to have so much control over Shana as to get her to stop her rampage with simple words. Shana usually wasn't so easily moved. Not nearly like this. Aruraumon was baffled. She couldn't understand humans at all. Ever since Shana had started hanging out with Marik the maze of her emotions had become so much more intricate.

Shana quickly turned away from Marik, her emotions having seemed to change quickly from aggression, to remorse, to embarrassment. She suddenly felt as though she was going to cry. She needed to run. She had to get out of here. Not in front of them, and especially not in front of Hanako. She needed to get away. But where would she run to?

[marik]

Marik stood there, expecting to be yelled back at for interfering. Instead though, it seemed he had pretty much shattered her fighting spirit, which he couldn't exactly feel too terrible for, since her fighting spirit was about to give the one-two to her little sister's digimon. However, he never intended to bring her down this hard. But what else could be done? She was completely ignoring him previously. He had to hit her hard to stop her. He couldn't let her treat her sister that way.

No matter what though, it was still painful to see Shana in this position, and he knew he had to calm her down somehow. He then turned to Hanako. "Hanako-chan could you please leave for a moment?" He requested. Other than her their little area was pretty much deserted. But he knew she wouldn't accept anything while others were watching.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

"Shana-oneechan. I know your not a bad person." Hanako said watching her sister, looking to Marik temporarily, she took off nearby with Lalamon. Hovering near the bumper cars, she leaned on the railing with Lalamon watching the cars hit one another. Man this was boring. Why'd she come to the main part anyway? Sighing, she wished her other elder sister, Yuri were here.

[marik]

Marik stood quietly as Hanako ran off. Once she was gone, leaving the area empty save for themselves and their digimon, he moved towards Shana, and hugged her gently. "I can't stop you from fighting all together Shana, I know that. But I can't let you force her into a fight she doesn't want." He explained calmly, his voice no longer as strong as it was, simply low and a bit sorrowful. "But she's right Shana. You are a good person inside."
