Shizuka's home.

[Trulydestined]

Shizuka collapsed on her queen sized bed giving a loud sigh. "Oh yes! Finally I can relax.. Gees that photo shoot really took it out of me.."

"Shizuka! Shizuka! Lemme out! Some perfume spilled in here and I can't breathe!" Shizuka looked over at her backpack and panicked. "Hopmon!" Shizuka fell to her knees and quickly unzipped her backpack. "I'm so sorry little guy." Shizuka reached in and pulled out her little digimon partner.

"Air! It's so beautiful! I would kiss it, if I could see it." Hopmon chuckled and hopped onto Shizuka's bed. Shizuka smiled, "You are just flat out adorible.." Shizuka climbed into her bed and laid beside her partner. "Ah, we can finally relax." Hopmon jumped in Shizuka's hair and made a small nest. "Oh your hair is so soft, and Violet."

Shizuka burst out laughing. "Hey careful, it took it along time to get it that way.." Shizuka continued laughing till she started to doze off.

((OOC: Okay Warkiller now is your chance to be perverted! lol))

[Warkiller]

The dragon mage had arrived at the house of the one he was after, Shizuka.

As he stood in front of the door, he held a hand to knock, but before doing that, he closed his eyes and let his inner senses spread out to the entire house.

There was no one in the house, except for two persons.

And it was a human and a digimon. No doubt that it was Shizuka.
It didn't took long to Krasus to locate where were the two in the house before he looked around himself and saw no one, sensed no one nearby.

With a slight concentration, Krasus vanished from the house's front door...

And reappeared a few minutes later in front of the bedroom. Taking hold of the door's handle, he noticed it being locked.

No matter. The elder dragon pressed one finger on the handle before muttering one mystical word. A slight clicking was heard before the door opened on its own...

The dragon mage then entered the bedroom, and saw the two being asleep.

Slightly sighing tiredly, Krasus walked inside the bedroom, closing the door behind him(with the wave of a hand, and the door magically closed up before locking itself again), then he eyed the sleeping girl and her digimon.

As he crossed his arms, Krasus cleared his throat very loudly before talking.

"My apologizes for this sudden intrusion, miss Utada, but a talk is necessary now." the elder dragon in human form spoke, the cloak hiding his face and features.

Shizuka's eyes shot open as she heard an unfamiliar voice. She sat up still kinda of drowsy and saw a cloaked figure near her, "Ahhhhh! Stalker!" Hopmon opened his eyes, "Huh? What's going on?"

Shizuka reached for a few of her teddy bears and tossed them at the cloaked figures head. "Get out pervert! Help! Somebody help!" Shizuka accidentally grabbed Hopmon by mistake and tossed her partner at the cloaked figures head.

Hopmon bounced of the cloaked figure's head and landed on the ground. "Ouch, my pride! I'm not a teddy bear Shizuka!" Shizuka gasped she slid off her bed and to her partner's side. "Oh, Hopmon I'm so so so so sorry." Shizuka hugged her partner tightly.

She then turned her attention back to the cloaked figure, "What do you want? If you hurt me, you'll so regret it. My sister will kick your ass! If not her, I will! So make sure you cripple me or kill me." Shizuka looked at the cloaked figure with fire in her eyes.

[Warkiller]

Krasus shook his cloaked head, and sighed.

"I'm not here to threaten you in any way. After all, if I truly had less...'kind' intentions, would have I made my presence known so easily?" Krasus said.

"I am not here as a stalker, nor as some paparazzi. It has nothing to do with your sister either. It concerns only you...

And the little 'blob' that you are holding..." Krasus said, looking at Hopmon as he ended his sentence.

He then made a sitting gesture at her while he took a nearby chair and sat on it.

"I believe that what I know concerns you...

Not everyone knows of Digimon after all..." Krasus said

[Trulydestined]

Shizuka looked at the cloaked figure still unsure of trusting him or not. "I know Hopmon is a Digimon. But I'm trying to put the pieces together. Are their more Digimon? And do they come in different shapes and sizes? Cause I think I saw another one at this school.. I think his name was Demiveemon."

Hopmon looked up at the cloaked figured showing a few of his fangs, "So who are you?" Shizuka stood up with Hopmon in her arms, she walked around her bed putting distance between herself and the cloaked figure. "Yes, who are you?"

"He seems to know something about Digimon.. Is he gonna take Hopmon away from me? No! I won't let him!"

[Warkiller]

Krasus was very well aware of Shizuka's distrust toward him, even if she would try to hide her. He had gotten very used to humans in his long life...

"I am one who has much knowledge about Digimon...and also, from where they come from.

They come from a world parallel to this one. Seperate, yet connected to ours...for both our world, which we can call the 'Real World', and the Digimon's world, which can be called the 'Digital World', are linked together, in many ways.

Usually, digimon don't appear in the Real World. When such thing happen, it is usually because of some matter of true importance...

From my observations, I discovered that when Digimon come here, it is usually for two reasons. Either, it is an accidental coming, and usually cause the digimon to go wild in our world, causing rampage.

Or...the other possibility...is that his coming was fated...

And in Hopmon's case, it is the second possibility. He was fated to come to this world...or more specifically, to you." Krasus explained.

He then made a pause, allowing Shizuka to digest this information before he continued on.

"You must truly wonder why Hopmon has come to you. Well, there is one special reason for that.

Many times ago, the Digital World has been threatened by digimon with less 'kind' intentions as those like Hopmon. Yes, it, of course, means that there are many other kind of digimon than only Hopmon, but I am disgressing...

As I was explaining about the threats to the Digital World, the world reacts by attempting a way of defense.

And that way, is quite peculiar...
What happen is that digimon can appear to some kids. Those kids are, in fact, chosen.

They are chosen to help and save the Digital World whenever it is threatened.

Those Chosen children, are known as the Digidestineds..." Krasus added, and made another slight pause.

"...And you Shizuka Utada, are one of those Digidestineds. You have been newly chosen as a Digidestined, and Hopmon, is your destined Digimon Partner, with whom, you will work with to defend the Digital World.

But do not be afraid..." Krasus said, finishing by raising a hand. "You are not alone in this struggle.

There are other Digidestineds as well. They too may have been newly chosen, or are those that have already been chosen some time ago, or may even have saved the Digital World once. Whatever is their case, you will work with them, one way or another."

Krasus then raised from his chair and walked up to the large window of the bedroom, looking outside.

"You may probably wonder, if there are other of those kids, those 'Digidestineds', that have saved the Digital World already, then why aren't they doing it again?

Honestly, it is obvious that some times, new ones are needed. A Digidestined cannot constantly assist the Digital World for his entire life. The sacred duty of defending the Digital World no doubts stretch from generations to generations. It has started long ago, and no doubt it will continue, long before you will be no more of this world...

So, during your time, Shizuka, you have to do your part..." Krasus finished, looking strait at her.

He then sighed and spoke on a more softened tone. "I know you did not asked for this, nor does any of the other Digidestineds, but the Digital World chose you, and thus, there must be no doubt that you have potential, that you can be capable of making the needed difference.

What matters now, is what you will do, with the time, that is given to you now..." Krasus said, more kindly.

((Man, sometimes I just love RPing as Krasus, in that way ^^))

[Trulydestined]

Shizuka held Hopmon close to her and looked at Krasus. "So what makes you so sure, I'm ones of the Digidestineds? You said yourself some Digimon come to our world for other reasons..

Hopmon may not be my Digimon.. What happens if I found him first before his natural owner?" Shizuka's eye filled with sorrow. She looked down at her Hopmon with tears in her eyes.

"Are you going to take him away from me? If he doesn't belong to me?" Shizuka's grip on Hopmon became tighter a bit worried about the reply she might get.

Hopmon looked up at Shizuka and became saddened. He then rubbed his face up against his friend, trying to comfort her. "Shizuka why are you sad?"

[Warkiller]

"If Hopmon was not your chosen partner, Shizuka, then we would not have this conversation, nor I would be here at all.

And neither you would have heard about Digimon." Krasus said calmly.

"And even if he did not belongued to you, fate will see that Hopmon will come to his destinied partner...but I think he already found it..." Krasus added with a smile beneath his hood.

"You have already showed the first extend of the growing bonds between you and Hopmon, Shizuka. May you continue on that path.

But perhaps...it may soon be time for you to discover more as well..." he added.

Krasus stopped before pulling out a small red crystal from his pocket. He looked at it, and beneath his hood, he frowned.

"Curious..." he muttered a little more darkly. "I thought they were already going, but it appears that they haven't went yet...or they are being delayed..."

[Trulydestined]

Shizuka looked at the cloaked figure, "They? Who's they? Do you mean the Digidestined? Give me a second.." Shizuka laid Hopmon on her bed and dashed into her walk in closet.

A few seconds later she jumped back out with a light pink skirt, a pair of pink converse, and a black t-shirt with a skull on it. "Okay I'm ready.. Let's roll! Where are we going?" Shizuka asked as she picked up Hopmon and held him in her arms.

[Warkiller]

"Yes, I was talking of some Digidestineds, that are currently in school, in a computer lab that they are often using to go to the Digital World.

Apparently, from what I can see, it appears there is a digimon causing some troubles." Krasus said.

"But I never expected you would be so adamant in willing to go. " Krasus said with a slightly pleased tone. He then slightly sighed. "But, if you do want to, very well. I can't really try to oppose myself to others' judgements..."

"That, I have done much too often, in many times ago..." the dragon mage thought to himself, easily concealing any sings of his troubles.

The cloaked man rose from his chair and looked at Shizuka. "Let us go then. We will take some more discrete routes to not attract too much attention...unless you intend to keep Hopmon hidden along the way." Krasus said, looking at Hopmon.

[Trulydestined]

"Nah, It doesn't matter to me.. I can lie. I can say he's my doll. But I still don't fully trust you. So watch yourself." Shizuka commented.

"We going on a field trip?" Hopmon asked. "Shizuka gave a slight nod. "Yeah, we're gonna find out if I'm really a Digidestined.."

((OOC: I'm giving such small posts.. ; ; ))

[Warkiller]

Krasus went for the door, opening it swiftly before going outside. He didn't really thought of telling so, but he was used to the fact that he wasn't always well trusted. That was partly his fault as well though.

The elder mage went outside, knowing that Shizuka followed close behind. As he continued to lead on, he started going in a more hidden alley, yet always kept his pace easy enough for Shizuka to follow. And despite that the alleys could be a bit like a maze, the cloaked man clearely knew where to go, somehow...

((Changing topics during the time they'll go to school or not? That time can also be used if Shizuka want to ask some other questions.))
