Camo Inn

Kemba was wide awake and watching television from the comfort of his bed. His face sagged as he seemed bored and lonely, mindlessly flipping through channels, most of which were static. He had remnants of his dinner left on his plate which was on a tray, off to the side. He looked over when he heard the door open and his face lit up when he saw Theos come through, "Theos! You're back!" He immediately noticed his bandages and stitches and became worried, "What happened!?" He said being embraced by Theos. "Did Blake do this!?" Kemba said clenching his paw, he was still armor-less but his paw reached for where his sword should be. "I'll make him pay for this!" Kemba shouted, he got a little to worked up and cringed at the pain in his ribs. "Ow." He leaned back onto his pillow and shook his head, "Why did you fight, I thought you were going to find another way!" Kemba said frantically patting Theos and examining where he was once wounded.

"Theos! You're back!" Theos smiled in response, "What happened!?" He said being embraced by Theos. "Did Blake do this!?" Theos pulled back to answer noticing his reaction. "I'll make him pay for this!" Theos chuckled. "Ow." He leaned back onto his pillow and shook his head, "Why did you fight, I thought you were going to find another way!"


"No Blake did not do this. He is actually a really good digimon. We made a deal when I spoke with him. I'd fight and he'd tried to get me in to see his father. I pulled out before I was seriously injured," Theos assured him. "I spoke with Kilgath and my father had him get him an audience with the king. So Kilgath is going to try and get us in the palace tomorrow." Theos explained.

"I was more worried about you you know. I knew you was probably worried since i was gone all day. I'm sorry I didn't return sooner," Theos said. He was sure he smelled of alcohol as well. He should probably take a bath before getting in bed with Kemba. For right now though. He just wanted to sit there and answer his questions and make sure re is reassured.

So Kilgath is going to try and get us in the palace tomorrow." Theos explained. The King and palace? What the heck was Theos parents doing looking to meet with the king of this massive kingdom? "Well as long as you're okay and got what you needed, then I suppose it's fine." Kemba sighed a breath or relief and smiled at Theos. "I was more worried about you you know. I knew you was probably worried since i was gone all day. I'm sorry I didn't return sooner," Kemba shook his head, "It's fine, it just made seeing you walk through that door all the more worth it. I know in my heart of hearts you'll always return to me no matter what." Kemba said caressing Theos's face with his paw. "I can wait whole months if I ever have to. I was prepared to do this journey alone remember? As long as I know you will be there at the end of the journey makes it worth it." Kemba looked at the tv and turned it off. "It was terribly dull here though, Kim and I can only play cards for so long. I took a nap today and watched tv, though it took me a while to understand what tv was. Mrs. Martha had to explain it to me. Anyway, you have a lot of different scents on your fur tonight. I can tell some of them are digimon but other smells are foreign to me." Kemba sat up on the bed, pulling his paw away. "I'd love to hear about your day, I missed the time with you." Kemba said giving a purr.

I know in my heart of hearts you'll always return to me no matter what." Theos smiled at his caress. He had that right. "I can wait whole months if I ever have to. I was prepared to do this journey alone remember? As long as I know you will be there at the end of the journey makes it worth it." Theos ears flicked at the sound of the tv turning off. "It was terribly dull here though, Kim and I can only play cards for so long. I took a nap today and watched tv, though it took me a while to understand what tv was. Mrs. Martha had to explain it to me. Anyway, you have a lot of different scents on your fur tonight. I can tell some of them are digimon but other smells are foreign to me." He must smell the sake and wine. "I'd love to hear about your day, I missed the time with you."

Theos smiled and relayed the whole story. From drinking with Blake and passing out to diner with Kilgath. Now that he looked back on it. It had been a really busy day. He had done and seen a lot in twenty-four hours. "Now all that is left is a bath and curling up with you." Theos finished nuzzling him.

Kemba listened to Theos long story and it's tales he was enveloped in Theos fights as he explained everything in detail, then at the stories about Kilgath and Blake and the sights he had seen. He laughed and imagined the sights for himself since he was stuck in bed all day. Theos had done so much in such a short time, "That is quite the adventure you had, I am glad you got so much done. I can't wait to hear about your adventures at the palace tomorrow. Tonight however, I'm just looking forward to your company. The next twelve hours with you by my side will be the best time spent all day." Kemba said. "I'll be laying right here when you get back from your bath." Kemba smiled, he would watch Theos the entire time when he went off. "I wonder if the King can really point us to your parents." Kemba said watching Theos in the tub. He was purring slightly.

"That is quite the adventure you had, I am glad you got so much done. I can't wait to hear about your adventures at the palace tomorrow. Tonight however, I'm just looking forward to your company. The next twelve hours with you by my side will be the best time spent all day." Kemba said. "I'll be laying right here when you get back from your bath." Theos smiled and went into the bathroom looking forward to washing off the stench of the day. All that fighting had worked up quite the sweat. "I wonder if the King can really point us to your parents."

"Even if he can't point to exact location if we know what they are doing we may be able to follow their trail," Theos said washing himself. He was gentle around the stitches. He was sure to scrub good however to remove the smells. It didn't take long for him to get back out and drain the tub. The muddied water disappearing down the drain. Afterwards he dried off and hopped into the bed laying beside Kemba with a smile.

Kemba laid on the bed facing Theos and stared into his eyes, Theos could hear him purring as his tail swayed slowly. "I swear we will find them. We will find your parents, then go to my village." Kemba said. He moved in closer until his nose touched Theos, "Maybe....with as much predicting your parents did....maybe they knew we would find each other and go to the village of my people. At this rate it seems likely." Kemba said curled up and keeping his eyes fixated on Theos own, wiggling his nose against Theos own. "They sure knew how to produce a cute son." Kemba teased, purring.

"I swear we will find them. We will find your parents, then go to my village." Theos smiled as they touched noses, "Maybe....with as much predicting your parents did....maybe they knew we would find each other and go to the village of my people. At this rate it seems likely." Who truly knew. This was the only city on the way to the docks. it could have been an educated guess. "They sure knew how to produce a cute son." Kemba teased, purring.


Theos blushed slightly. "I'm sure we could make several more....when you are better." He teased back and laughed. His sides ached in a good way. "For now though....goodnight my love." Theos gave him a kiss and closed his eyes snuggling in slightly.

Kemba kissed Theos back, and watched as Theos began to sleep. He couldn't fall asleep right away, he had been sleeping all day after all. "This is much better then tv." He said referring to watching Theos sleep. Kemba pulled closer to Theos until he was able to wrap an arm around Theos back, and forcing the other in between Theos and the bed. Pulling Theos into his own body, until there was no space left between them. Allowing Theos face into Kemba's neck, his warm breath on his fur and skin was soothing. He was careful not to disturb his partner as he slept, Kemba nibbling Theos ear gently watching them involuntarily twitch. Kemba giggled at it and purred with happiness. His paws were rubbing Theos back and neck slowly, Kemba enjoying the feel of his fur. He could appreciate Dan's fetish a little bit more now. Kemba interlocked his legs with Theos hind legs, allowing the injured one to rest on top of one of his keeping it elevated. His tail resting on top of Theos's tail. He kissed the top of Theo's head a few times before nuzzling into it with his face. Kemba finally drifted off into his own happy slumber with Theos fully embraced with him.

Meanwhile....

The information broker back in the bazaar was cooking up something sinister, "Dark Helix will be impressed with me when they learn I have the blood of a Theowmon. With my magical arts and this blood, I can use a forbidden spell." Sheila laughed, in front of her she had drawn a magic circle with a spell book of witchenly in front of her. She began chanting a spell, and popped open the vial of Theo's blood and spilled it in the middle of the circle. "Oh dark ones, with this blood I call forth a spirit of darkness to take the form of the one I seek! I summon thee demon of the dark area! A body for you once more!" She yelled, suddenly a bright light of purple shined through and data began to accumulate by the blood until finally in the middle of the circle lay a Theowmon, identical to Theos in every way. "Welcome Theos...to life." Sheila said with a fiendish grin. "Ugh....I'm so achey..." Theos said. "Yes, now the next step can take place...." Sheila laughed. The Theos copy stood up and grinned, "Yes...now I can become Theos for real....once I take care of the old one and take his life as my own!" He said with a devilish glint in his eyes. "Then once you do that, I can bring him to Dark Helix and we can make a fortune off of his body and blood! Infinite Theowmon to sell to the masses, I hear they even taste good if cooked properly." Sheila said. The doppleganger Theos grinned, "Yea...well....I have my own plans lady." It said, "Wha...?" Sheila questioned, the Theos dopple jumped up and with unreal strength kicked Sheila in the head knocking her unconscious. "Don't summon a demon, if you lack the will to control it....newbie." The dark Theos laughed as he headed to a bed of his own. "I'll need a few hours to adjust to this body and world....time for some shut eye, then I'll go get me a white kitty..." Dark Theos said licking his lips.

Theos awoke in Kembas' embrace. He was nice and warm and Theos just wanted to go back to sleep. However the day had come and he was to go meet a King. He got up with a grunt sliding out of his embrace. He went and relieved himself before heading downstairs for breakfast. He entered the dining hall with a smile. He sat down at one of the many tables.

"Morning," he would say to Mrs. Chamelemon when she came over.

"Ah good morning Sir Theos, a pleasure to see you this morning." She said presenting him the breakfast he was likely waiting for. "I had this prepared for you this morning, here you are. You also have a guest, Lord Kilgath's son, Blake." She said pointing over to a table where Blake was asking for alcohol in which the inn did not serve. "Not even a smidge of the good stuff?" Blake asked Kim, "Sorry Blake....not here...this is a family inn." Kim sighed, "No matter how many times you ask, isn't going to make it magically appear." Kim noticed Theos, "Look, Theos is awake, go say hi and leave me alone." Kim said turning invisible. Blake looked over and smiled getting up and going over, "Hey there Theos! No Kemba this morning? I have some great news for you! My dad did it! He got you in to see our king, apparently the king was expecting you this whole time. They mentioned your name and heritage and said he'd see you promptly." Blake said taking a seat. "I bet you're excited huh?"

"Ah good morning Sir Theos, a pleasure to see you this morning." Theos mouth watered and again he was thankful for her good cooking. "I had this prepared for you this morning, here you are. You also have a guest, Lord Kilgath's son, Blake." Theos looked up from where he took a bite off his plate. A familiar form appearing in his eye. "Not even a smidge of the good stuff?" Blake asked Kim, "Sorry Blake....not here...this is a family inn." Kim sighed, "No matter how many times you ask, isn't going to make it magically appear." Kim noticed Theos, "Look, Theos is awake, go say hi and leave me alone." Theos smiled and finished his bite. Swallowing it down as he came over, "Hey there Theos! No Kemba this morning? I have some great news for you! My dad did it! He got you in to see our king, apparently the king was expecting you this whole time. They mentioned your name and heritage and said he'd see you promptly." Blake said taking a seat. "I bet you're excited huh?"


"Yes I am," Theos said his tail wagging happily. "Kemba is still upstairs sleeping. I'll take him breakfast here in a bit," Theos responded happily taking another bite. "Your father and you both are amazing digimon. Being able to do such things."

Blake scratched the back of his head at the compliment, "Thanks Theos, I do my best! My dad raised me well and he's really respected on the council....despite the illegal fight club of course...which really isn't that bad...anyway....ignoring my rambling. I'm here to take you back to the noble district, and prepare you to see our king. I'll wait outside for you." Blake got up and headed for the exit saying goodbye to the Chamelemon. "Here you are dear, Kemba's breakfast." Martha said putting the silver tray down. "Sounds like you have quite the day! I hope it all works out for you." She said nodding her head and returning to her duties.
