Hiroshi Henderson Saga, Part 6

Hiro was sitting on a rock, it was about 1:00pm acording to his new watch, he was eating some fruit from a nearby tree. After he was done he drank some water, checked his map, and started walking agian. He was moving at a steady pace not wanting to over excert himself, up ahead the forest was beginning to thin out. It was beautiful, the forest was green, the sun was shining through the trees, there was a gentle breeze blowing, and Hiro could hear the sound of a stream up ahead. It was like he was on a nature hike, the only difference was there were no animals around, but thats pretty much what he expected.

As he walked he let his mind wander. He was thinking of that summer his grandfather came to visit. Hiro and Lisa had just gotten home from thier last day of school, as they walked through the front door they saw thier grandfather(Yogen) standing there waiting. They were both suprised, Lisa ran up and hugged him, and Hiro followed. Yogen was an old man with little hair and he stood about 5'4" and carried an old looking bamboo cane. Yogen smiled alot especialy at his grand-childeren. Latter that night over dinner Hiro's mother had told him that his grandfather had come for a very important reason, to train Hiro in the martial arts. Hiro smiled he looked at his grandfather and said,"Really....your gonna teach me Karate?"

Yogen replied (in japanese) "No.. I am going to teach you a special art, it has been passed on through our family for generations, it is called Soutotsu-hookoo. It's your herritage and duty to lernn."

"My duty?" asked Hiro.

"Yes as my only male heir, it falls upon you to to pass it to your childeren." said Yogen "We will begin in the morning."

And the next day they did. The training was harsh, by lunch time Hiro was exsausted, they stopped long enough to eat then continued. It was at that time his best friend in the whole world showed up. His name was Troy Bismark, he was a black kid, and Hiro's friend sence he could remember, he was the same age as Hiro, though he was a few inches shorter. Hiro's mother told Troy that Hiro was in the back yard and when he whent out back he saw Hiro standing with his knees bent, and his arms strait out in front of him. After Hiro explained that his grandfather was training him in the martial arts Troy said "Cool!" and wanted to learn to, Hiro asked his grandfather who said that it was forbiden for him to teach anyone outside the family. But if Troy wanted then he could help Hiro in his training and if he realy was serious about learning he would. But he had to ask his dad first, Troy was so happy and after Troy begged his dad he got permision and Hiro gained a sparing partner.

It was late afternoon, up ahead Hiro saw the temple, "Hey there it is." he said as he started walking faster. But as he got within a hundered yards of the temple Kuwagamon sprang up out of the ground in front of him, Hiro jumped back in surprise. "What the-" started Hiro as he dodged one of the digimon's arms. "Theres just no getting rid of you is there!" At that point Hiro noticed somthing different,there was a small creature on top of Kuwagamon's head, it was round, black, and it spoke to him, "You pathetic humman, I'm Kagemon and I'm here to make sure you don't get the Soulgem, Dark Bubble!" it spit a black sphere at Hiro. Hiro dodged it but got back handed by Kuwagamon. Hiro flew about ten feet before he hit the ground rolling. He quickly got up as Kuwagamon charged, trying to catch Hiro with it's pincers, at the last moment Hiro jumped strait up as high as he could, which to his suprise was about twenty feet. Hiro quickly used this to his advantage, as he came down he focused his energy, "KYA!" he yelled as he planted both feet into Kuwagamon's head, crushing the Kagemon in the process. As he landed his attack the golden light flared at the point of impact, destroying the Kagemon and sending Kuwagamon to the ground hard. Hiro jumped from the digimon's head, activating the cloaking program, and started running for the temple. He was not more than thirty yards from the temple when Kuwagamon got up. Hiro froze in his tracks and turned around, Kuwagamon was looking around, *I hpoe this thing works* Hiro thought to himself. He could tell that the digimon was very upset, and after a minute he flew away.

When the digimon was out of site Hiro walked to the temple, once inside he pulled off his pack and slumped down. "Man that was extream!" he said to himself as he drank from his cantine. "What did that thing call itself....Kagemon?" Hiro started to imput the name into his watch, after he finished he saw it's picture on the small display. It was black, with red eyes, six tiny legs, and a scorpian like tail. "hmm Kagemon, a shadow type digimon, level:in training, class:virus, attacks:dark bubble, abilitys: can meld into shadows, and can use it's tail to take control of other digimon....So that explians Kuwagamon."

After he studied the digimon he looked around, it was dark in the temple. As Hiro let his eyes adjust to the darkness he saw a faint glow up ahead, he aproached carefuly. When he got closer he saw an alter with a couple of statues on it, there was another on the grond broken, and on the ground infront of the alter was...the Soulgem. "I found it...Cool!" he said. As he picked it up the light flared then disapated " Uh...okay." he lokked at it more closely, it was attached to a chain by a dragon's claw "cool." he said as he shruged and put it in his pocket. Then he looked at the alter, and the statues, one was an angle with it's hand held out infront of it, the other was a larg bird with it's wings spread, and the one on the ground was another angle. "hmm well the bird looks like a pheonix, and it looks like the two angles were holding the Soulgem out to it. hmm whats this?" said Hiro as he inspected the alters front. There was an inscription on it, but Hiro couldn't read any of it. "It looks like the writing on Gennai's computer, I bet he could read it." Then Hiro rememberd the watch, "Gennai said to contact him by pushing the red button." Hiro said as he pushed it. He heard a few beeps then nothing. Remembering that Gennai said he would get back to him Hiro decided to wait there, so he sat in a corner, pulled out the Soulgem, and looked at it through the remaining day light.

Author's Note: If you have read this far then I'm sure you caught that hint about the statues :-) it's kind of a give away to future events. You will hear more about it it in chapter 7 when Hiro hears of a prophecy. As always you can contact me at, Cyrosgold@aol.com Bye :-)

P.S. sorry if this chapter was not as good as my others, I was awake all night when I wrote it.
