9 Departure

It's sad in the future I won't be able to keep doing these if this for some reason ends up popular, but again I got tons of power stones (compared to before) and felt like I had to write something for you guys!

Since our little family is small for now I can still do specific shout outs, so thank SmileSensei, LazyFou98, and Zwei_143 for this. I mean it this time I wanna see some thank you's!

Anyway enjoy!

I-I got a fusion loader! No fucking way!! I need to see it in my hand right now. Summoning the loader it appeared as a grey device with a blue screen and circle dial.

I played with the weight in my hands before I could finally accept its real. First thing I did was press the buttons trying to see how it felt.

The screen lit up with a cool blue glow, and read out in big golden letters.

'Make your choice.' Before it laid out likely hundreds if not a thousand in-training level Digimon. Maybe if I hadn't been biased towards my first friend, I would have picked one that started off more overpowered.

Of course, that's not how this went.

"I'm picking Pagumon." As soon as I uttered those words the grey loader took on a deep purple color with black buttons.

On the screen I could see what looked like a blank void and a purple ball of fluff with long ears.

"Oh shit! Come on ou-" Interrupting my thoughts something comes flying at my head and before I could even recognize what it was my hand had already grabbed it.

"Sorry mister!" I threw the back to some approaching kids and smiled to myself.

I was so focused on the fusion loader that actually almost hit me. Even if it wasn't gonna do anything it's good to see how explosive reaction works.

Pulling out my phone to check the time suddenly my fusion loader scans the phone turning it into data and absorbing it.

"….this better turn into a phone right now." Almost like it understood my threat the loader began changing becoming an exact replica of my phone besides the fact that it had a purple and black color.

Hm, it's September 20th…only two days before my birthday. These past years have been so hectic that I never really did much for my birthday besides inviting Kana over. Of course hanging out with the doesn't count for that.

Maybe now is a good time to get home I'm sure things have calmed down.

-1 year later-

Finally today is the day. Tomorrow I will be fifteen and go out to Kuoh high for school. This year has been pretty stressful just from managing the area, but I did want to be the leader.

Looking into the mirror I can see how different I am from six years ago. My day form which had been relatively short at five feet and my night form at 5'5, but now most likely due to awakening the Youkai blood, muscle gain, and senjutsu I've gone up a lot.

My day forms height is at 5'7 and night form is six feet. Although other than being much more muscular that's about all.

Leaving my room I talk to gramps and tell him I'm leaving out of course right before I leave I tell him "By the way gramps, I'm expecting you to break the news to everyone. Alright bye!" Closing the door behind me I hear a muffled sound of my grandpa's shock and I get as far away from the house as I can run.

Stopping at the local 7/11 I use my fear to steal some high grade sake, before heading off.

Walking into the park I get a phone call reading 'U'. I pick it up and a long screech of static can be heard on the phone, before hearing

"Heeey, when can I come out master?!" Obviously the angry voice coming from the phone is Umbra who somehow was able to call me around a few weeks ago.

"Know what this is a perfect moment. Come on out." Soon the call cut and a small icon on my phone of Umbra grew and moved pressing its face against the screen popping out into reality.

They bounced around a bit more until they got their footing…with their head. They turned to look at me and for the first time we saw each other in the flesh.

I dive into Umbra using my displacement so I don't look like an insane person holding a doll.

It's surprisingly soft! I thought he was just gonna be rough like the little goon he is. Stretching its body they move a lot more like a putty than anything with bones.

"Mashter stawp!" Their small yell brings me back to reality and I let them go. Besides no big deal I had something to do anyway…

It was weird of me not to pull out Umbra the moment I got them, but I wanted it to be more special that that. So I prepared all for this for today.

Using presence I release my fear onto all the people in this park scaring them into running away even if they had no real reason.

Finally being able to stop using Displacement I sit down with the bag and look at Umbra who's staring right back at me.

"Oh! Master it's okay I didn't mean to yell at you!" Huh? What is he talking about. Don't know why he thinks I'm the type to care about something like that?

But soon as it hops over to hug me I realize I had started crying. Unsure of why or even when it happened I sit there and accept the hug in silence for a few minutes.

"Well, now that that's over I have some important business to do. First Umbra, my family have an important tradition that they do with their subordinates and family."

Concentrating I create a a purple sakazuki cup with my fear, and hand it over to Umbra. Popping open the bottle of sake I pour the sake into my cup and then pour little bit less in theirs.

I raise my cup up to the sky watching them struggle to grab the small cup with their hand ears, and eventually after both of us drinking a bit we swap cups finishing the others drink.

"Now it's official. Welcome to the Nura clan Umbra." After saying this last bit Umbra begins hopping around the entire park likely just happy to be out the loader.

Creating a crimson with a white outer rim I pour an equal amount of sake in it to mine, before dropping a bit of blood into it.

After finishing my cup I place the cup onto a tree stump using all of my fear to infuse a lasting displacement for it not to be touched.

"Don't know where you are and you likely have forgotten about my existence since it's been years, but you are still a part of my parade. Goodbye Moka." Leaving the cup there I take the bottle of sake with me and start leaving the park.

"Come on Umbra let's go home. Oh uh…you might have to get back in the loader." I turn around to see an angry purple head flying at me inches away from my face.

"WHAT THE FU-"

-few minutes later-

Walking to the front door the moment I opened it my body reacted and jumped out of the way as a blizzard poured through the door.

Once it's safe I step through the door leaving a now snowy neighborhood behind me, and see a ton of youkai slipping on ice while Gramps stands in front of a crying Tsurara at the middle of the estate.

I feel like this could be my fault, even if I don't know how. I walk over to gramps, and before I can even ask he says

"I simply told them you would be leaving. Everyone had a similar reaction, but her's was more…troubling." Yea no kidding, this is definitely something. Where was this during thr fight against Gagoze?

"Tsurara, what are you doing?" She looks up at me with frozen tears falling from her face.

She begins mumbling something, but I continue by asking "Shouldn't you be packing your things? Did you not hear that I was leaving?" She looked up at me confused while I smirked.

"No way you thought that I was leaving without you coming? I needed someone to come with me." I kneel down and lift her chin continuing.

"I'm never letting you go. Now please go get ready." She stood up quickly and ran into the house to prepare.

Soon after she left the ice on the grass began to melt into the ground. Gramps looked at me with a bit of a concerned expression.

Only then I had noticed I was smiling so widely. With a fake cough I change the subject best I could.

"So…you wanna play chess before I go?" His look of unselttled concern turned into an annoyed look before he said.

"You really know how to get on my nerves. Fine I'll play, and I'm gonna beat you this time child!" His battle cry announced the start of our game that went on for thirty minutes.

Of course he lost once again, but everyone knew he would that's just how comedy works. The moment we left the room it was clear who won and who lost, but I carried on like normal finally finding Tsurara carrying a giant bag.

Approaching the doors of the estate all the Youkai lined up with my mom and gramps at the head of it.

Joking with Aotabō and Kurotabou, hugging Karasu, and talking to so many familiar Youkai all wishing me the best.

I give gramps a fist bump and hug my mom with her saying "Don't forget to eat right, or I'm coming for you." She says while her hug gets tight enough to crush bones.

"Okay, okay I got it." I break away from the hug much more worried than coming into it.

"Alright then, let's go Tsurara."
