Chapter 27: -Chapter 27-
...
I let out a sleepy groan as I felt myself becoming increasingly aware of my surroundings despite having my eyes closed. Taking that as a sign, I finally decided to open my eyes and not prolong my sleep any further.
Getting out of bed, I let out a yawn as I felt sleep slowly leave my head. I rubbed my eyes gently before getting up from the futon and heading towards the fusuma made of wood-
"Wait a minute..." I looked around in confusion, I was in what appeared to be a traditional Japanese house. It reminded me a bit of my grandparents' house. "Where am I?"
"In a house, genius" A familiar growling voice came from behind me. I quickly turned around to see a large black wolf lying comfortably on its paws as it looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "I..."
"BlackGarurumon!" I exclaimed with a grin as I approached the large wolf and ruffled the fur on his face with my hands earning me an annoyed growl. "Where's Patamon and Herissmon? Oh! and Noah is around here too? I thought we were at church!"
"..." BlackGarurumon stared at me for a moment before averting his gaze looking around the adjacent room. "Patamon is resting in that room, don't raise your voice too much..."
"And Herissmon? Is he with Noah?" I asked as I scratched my head and tilted my head to the side. I blinked twice as I realized my hat wasn't on my head. 'I'll get it back later I guess...'
BlackGarurumon got a thoughtful look on his face before looking me in the eye. "No."
"No? What do you mean no?" I frowned in confusion, something about this didn't feel quite right. It only took me a second to realize the elephant in the room... or well, the elephant in my mind.
"...And why can't I remember anything after leaving the church?" I squinted my eyes as I tried to remember something after I walked out of the church doors, but I only remembered a horrendous melody and nothing else.
"I don't remember much either, I was unconscious most of the time" BlackGarurumon spoke sarcastically as he rubbed his head with his paw. "Basically came a Digimon Perfect-"
"Digimon Perfect?"
BlackGarurumon glared at me before letting out a sigh. "I thought Noah taught you about that..."
"M-Maybe I wasn't paying much attention to him at the time..." I let out an embarrassed chuckle as I felt the heat rise slightly up my cheeks. A couple of days ago Noah had told me about the Tamagochi we both had and its functions.
And although I did listen to some of what he said... the truth is that it wasn't very interesting, I felt like I was going back to school. And who wants to go back to school?
The big wolf gave me a look that was unimpressed and amused at the same time. "In short, an extremely strong Digimon appeared out of nowhere just to kick our asses in the blink of an eye!"
The big wolf closed his eyes as he let out a low growl. "That includes Herissmon and Noah, the first thing I saw when I woke up was Filmon launching a huge attack against that Digimon... but even with all of Filmon's power and his blades he barely did any damage to that Digimon."
"Noah and Herissmon... they lost?" my eyes widened like saucers as disbelief filled my head for a moment.
'That no- that can't be possible! To imagine Noah and Herissmon losing a battle... I don't see how that's possible! Every time he's fought against other Digimon they've always come out on top!' Pe
"That's impossible! Noah and Herissmon are very, very strong! They beat Ogremon and hundreds of other Digimon! It's impossible for them to have lost!"
BlackGarurumon didn't respond as he looked at me with an unimpressed look. "That's the reality, those two lost and fell into Etemon's clutches. I barely escaped that lunatic with you and Patamon in tow."
"He's right, pi" A shrill voice echoed above my head, I looked up to find a strange little pink furball which floated above my head thanks to its tiny wings on its back. "Right now the Chosen Child are trapped at the base of Etemon, the Inverted Pyramid."
The tiny Digimon descended right in front of me as it looked at me contemplatively.
"Hello, pi!"

"Piximon?"
"That's me! Pi!" Exclaimed the fairy as he pointed at himself proudly, suddenly starting to circle around me as if inspecting me in great detail. "Though I must say I'm disappointed, pi. When I finally find a Chosen Child it turns out he can't even Digievolve his partner to Adult! What a disgrace... pi!"
The fairy stopped in front of me as he whispered under his breath. "Although I sense something special in you, maybe you're not a complete disappointment... pi!"
I looked at the little fairy with a blank stare before shaking my head to the side and staring at the wolf, I needed an explanation of everything, now.
"Why am I always the one who has to explain everything? Do you guys see me NPC face or what?" BlackGarurumon growled in annoyance. "Basically while I was escaping from Etemon's reach a group of Aquilomon attacked me simultaneously, I couldn't defend myself because I had to keep you and Patamon safe... that's when-"
"When I appeared to save your ass, pi!" Piximon exclaimed mischievously as he poked the wolf's cheek, as if testing his patience "I sensed a disturbance near my house so I went to investigate! Imagine my surprise when I saw a Digimon Virus defending a Chosen Child! Pi! You don't see that every day! Pi!"
"...In short, this idiot saved us" BlackGarurumon muttered as he looked at the fairy intensely, if looks could kill then Piximon would have turned to ashes by now.
"Thank you Piximon! I don't know how to repay you!" I exclaim with a smile as I took the little fairy in my arms, giving a tight hug.
"You're welcome kid, pi" Piximon replied suddenly appearing at BlackGarurumon's side.
"Huh?" I looked at him in disbelief as I turned my bewildered gaze back to my arms only to be met with air. "How y-"
"But if you're so willing to make it up to me for it," Piximon interrupted me with an exaggerated wave of his arms. "Then I have some things I want to do with you and that Patamon of yours! Pi!"
"It's... okay? As long as it's nothing dangerous, sure" I nodded uncertainly as I looked at BlackGarurumon for a second, the wolf simply shrugged. "Although, may I know what you want from us?"
Suddenly the fairy gave me a creepy smile that showed its sharp teeth.
"I'm going to make you into someone worthy of bearing the title of Chosen Child! Pi!"

Pixiemon and BlackGarurumon watched as TK walked out of the room to meet Patamon. Both Digimon were silent for a moment before the wolf looked at the fairy with a raised eyebrow.
"You're not going to tell him anything about-"
Pixiemon let out a mischievous laugh as he sat on the wolf's head. "That would just ruin the surprise for the kid! Besides, you want him to stop being so dependent on others, don't you? This is the perfect opportunity! Pi!"
"...I just hope you're doing the right thing" BlackGarurumon muttered helplessly, a few months ago he was the guardian of his Village, now he was the babysitter of a Human and the favorite toy of a drunken fairy.
What had his life become?
"As serious as ever, eh, big guy?"
BlackGarurumon just let out an agonized grunt as the fairy in his head let out more guffaws at the wolf's expense.
