Digimon: Красный Октябрь
It was dark, two figures wandered the streets illuminated sequentially by the lampposts as they walked. West Sinjuku always was a hotbed for Digital activity, why he didn't understand how it could be so quiet tonight. Regardless, he was kinda happy for it. It gave him time to think. His partner couldn't understand his silence tonight, sure they had a minor falling out, but it shouldn't affect his normally bright personality. She sighed, but respected the silence, whatever he was thinking, she doubted she had the right to know. On they walked, the silence settling around them like a blanket after one finished turning in their sleep. Until she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey..." she murred softly "Hey, I'm sorry, alright? It was wrong of me to accuse you like that."
He didn't respond.
"Takashi?" she asked gently touching his shoulder
his only response was to grab his D-Ark from his belt, and stare into it, a confused, and slightly pained look on his face. She knew that look. It was the look he gave when the topic of his mother came up. Stopping she watched him walk on, until he too stopped. His hand dropped to his side, and the digivice intelligently attached itself to his belt again. She could never stand seeing him like this, and watched as three drops hit the floor. She already know from where. Walking forward on silent footsteps, she wrapped her arms around him gently, lovingly, a comforting kiss planted on his mass of black hair. It didn't stop the tears.
It was times like these when she didn't want to be a digimon, when she cursed her yellow, furry body with all the hatred she could muster. How desperately she wanted to be a human, to share with him human desires, to help him with human matters, to love him the human way. Despite her wants, though, his needs outweighed them all. His desires would win out over hers. Such was her devotion to the one she called her tamer, her love.
"Rena..." it was the first word he had spoken since they left, it sent chills through her body, the inflection, the tone, the -meaning- behind the word. Embracing him a little closer, her head found it's way next to his.
"What is it, Takashi?" she murred softly, happy to know that he was okay emotionally for the time being.
"I... I'm sorry... for what I said. It was wrong, and I should not have blamed you for her death." he shuddered, he knew why he did it. She was a digimon, all digimon are bad, that was before. This was now. She opened his eyes. Her, and the Tamers three. They all opened his eyes to the truth behind the digimon. He couldn't blame her, yet it was all to convenient for him to. Even though she played no part in taking his mother away from him. Now though, he was comforted by her closeness, just being able to release control of his body, and be held within her arms was a blessing for him. It reminded him that there was someone out there who loved him just as much as his mother did. Although for different reasons.
"It's fine." She murred comfortingly "You were hurt, and you were not thinking like yourself. I can forgive that, I just hope you forgive my outburst."
"I do." he sighed, his hand moving up to hold the side of her head lovingly, before he turned in her grip and kissed her, making her heart beat faster as her embrace tightened. She almost pushed him backwards, forgetting that they were not in his room, until she felt the chill of the wind against her fur. His window he had permanently shut. So, controlling her lust (for the moment, there was nothing stopping her when they make it home) she let the kiss last until he broke it off for a bit of air. Letting go of him, he gave her a soft reassuring smile and led her by the hand back home.
The next day...
"Wah! Henry!" a furry white storm rushed into his room, followed by a curious Lopmon
"What is it now, Terriermon?"
"Suzie's going to kill me with all the princess prettypants stuff she has planned today!"
"And what do you want me to do about it?"
"I dunno, call a digimon, start a fight, do SOMETHING!"
Henry rolled his eyes "Lemme see what Takato and Rika are doing..." he replied as Terriermon took his place on his head.
"Gee, thanks Henry!"
Walking to the living room Henry picked up the phone and gave a slight sigh.
"Takato! Phone!"
"Coming Mom!" Takato replied vaulting down the stairway, it could be anything, a new digimon, some tamer causing trouble...
"Hey Takato, you doing anything?"
Or it could be Henry wanting to talk.
"Hey Henry." Takato replied, the disappointment audible in his voice.
"You alright?"
"Yeah, Everything is just slow these past couple days." The influx of tamers since the digital gate reopened wasn't really that great, but they still found the occasional oddball looking to gain more power, as a welcome change to the quiet lives they were living now. Hell, The Tamers were the unofficial police force for all things digital; yeah, Yamaki had Hypnos, but he still depended on the trio of Tamers to organize other tamers and their digimon to fight threats he knew his crack team of digital experts couldn't handle.
"Yeah, your telling me." Henry responded nodding "I'm going to be heading out to the park, interested in a couple matches?"
"Yeah, I'll grab my cards." He hung up and walked up to his room, to grab his cards, and gold D-ark, before heading downstairs "Bye mom!" he called as he got his shoes on
"Be home in time for dinner!"
"Alright!" and Takato ran out the door.
Rika was outside, enjoying the sun with a smile on her face...
What, you thought I was serious? Alright, fine.
Rika was walking the streets, she just finished a battle with one of the newer tamers. She was the Go-To girl for help, even if it was buried deep in snark, and contempt.
Her cell phone rang and she pulled it from the pocket of her coat, sunglasses resting on her face
"Yeah?"
"Hey, Rika. It's Henry."
"What do you want."
"Takato and I are going to be hanging in the park for a bit, maybe get a couple games in. Want to join us?"
"Like I have anything better to do."
"Figured as much. See ya there."
"Make sure you get the other kid with that Renamon, I want to see how good he is."
"Who, Takashi? Alright. I'll see if I can find his number."
She hung up, sliding the phone back in her pocket "Renamon."
The yellow fox appeared, no, phased beside her "Yes, Rika?"
"We're going to face Takashi, be on your toes."
"I always am." She vanished, and Rika continued her walk to the park.
Somewhere in Takashi's apartment the phone rang. So, he forced himself up, and searched through the mess of clothes everywhere to find it. Once he did he let out a small cry of triumph and answered said phone.
"Hello?" he asked, still a bit groggy.
"Hey Takashi... Did I wake you up or something?"
"Yeah, you did..." he shook the sleep from his head, and a three fingered furry arm and paw wrapped itself around his chest
"Mmmmm... Taka... shi..."
"Do I want to know?"
"We had an argument."
"Uh... huh... I'm kinda scared to ask what happened after that."
"Best idea not to."
"I'll take your word for it. Everyone is heading to the park, Can we count you in?"
"Sure, lemme get dressed first."
Takashi hung up and set the phone on it's charger for a bit, before he tried to free himself from the grip of the horny vixen resting beside him, in the throes of an afterglow induced dream. he never could get over the fact that she had a her vice-like grip sometimes. So after a comical amount of pulling he managed to free himself, and sneak off to the shower. The yellow vixen in his bed cuddled close to his pillow (which he managed to successfully replace his body with) and began doing... Something with her free hand, it was quite easy to guess, considering the placement of it. He left her to her dream, and made a mental note to wash his sheets twice, and spray some freshener or something to get rid of the smell afterward.
After about ten minutes or so in the shower, The teen hopped out, to watch the yellow vixen barge into the bathroom like normal, toss his clothes on his head, and push him out the door. Mornings are always interesting at his place.
Sliding his clothes on and doing a hop-skip to the bed, he gathered up the sheets and tossed them down the chute to the laundry room. He'll throw those in later. It took all of 15 minutes to toss his clothes from yesterday down the chute as well, leaving Rena's Armguards(he never knew what to call those things) on the chair near the bathroom.
Moving downstairs he saw the yellow Vixen making brunch for the two of them, which confused him, cause he could have sworn that she was upstairs... once the food was on the table though, she vanished... and he blinked... "Touhakken" he murmured and sat down, to have his yellow vixen swaying down the stairs
"Morning love."
"Morning, Rena. Sleep well?"
"You shouldn't have to ask." She giggled, sitting down on his lap. Takashi just chuckled and gave the vixen a soft kiss on her neck, causing her to shudder "We're heading to the park with the rest of the tamers today, try to behave."
"Mou..." she pouted "yes, Takashi-kun. I'll be a good little vixen."
This made him chuckle "Just try not to pounce on me again like last time."
"Awwww..."
sliding off him he grabbed his food, slid his cards and D-Ark on his belt tossed on a black coat that stretched to the floor before splitting off into strands (this seemed to always remind Rena of a Gothic lord) and he was out the door, food in hand with the vixen locking the door behind them.
"Hey, Henry, I thought you said Rika was going to be here..."
"You'll see... hold on..."
"Guilmon! Terriermon!" a female voice called from down the way
"Shadow Sickles!"
One vixen impacted where the last stood "The hell!"
"Rena, no time... Digi-Modify!"
She vanished from her previous perch before impaling the ground with dual lances, when the smoke cleared, Rena was looking around confused...
"Touhakken!"
Rena barely blocked the attack sliding to the right to kick her away. While Rika stepped from the shadows beneath a tree
"Knight Device and High-Speed Plug-In B, gotta get faster."
"Little Bitch! What the hell you think your doing?"
"Rena, behave. So... I was wondering when the Digimon queen would challenge me. Was expecting it actually, I'm not that good a tamer, and you've been with your Renamon for longer. I would say this is an unfair fight, if it weren't a battle of counters and counterstrikes."
"Rika."
"Already on it."
"Ready Rena?"
"Give it to me hun."
"Digi-Modify! High-Speed Plug-In H, Activate!"
Both Renamon vanished from where they were standing
"Digi-Modify-"
"-SnowAgumon: Frozen Wind!"
"-Meramon: Burning Fist!"
As Renamon coated the area in snow, a burning Rena launched through it to deliver a solid hit to the first.
"Alias activate!"
and she vanished.
"Rena, behind you!"
She turned around to block the attack
"WarGreymon: Brave Shield activate!"
"Koyousetsu!"
the shield came up just in time, which Rena then used to push through the hail in an attempt to shield bash the other Renamon who unable to move, took the force of the hit, and went rocketing to the ground.
"Strength Plug-In W... love that card."
"Renamon, You alright?"
"Yes... Rika..."
"Can you still fight?"
"Of course." Renamon leapt to attack
"Strength Plug-In W, Activate!"
"Alias! Refill Plug-in Q! Frigimon: Subzero Ice Punch!"
"Rika!"
"High-Speed Plug-In B!"
landing with a roll, Renamon managed to get out of the way of the punch, launched to and off a tree and rushed back at Rena who just got finished standing after impacting the ground
"Boost Chip! Power Charger! Tomahawk!"
Takashi's shout was caught in his throat as the blade impacted with Rena sending her impacting with a tree. He wasted no time rushing to her, slashing an energy card to keep her from fading.
"Takashi..." she murred once he fell to her side, cradling her head "Sorry I wasn't fast enough..."
"It's not your fault... I couldn't slash a speed card in time."
The yellow vixen gave a soft giggle before a soft sigh signified her drift into unconsciousness. Lifting her up Takashi carried her to the building, where he sat back against the wall, and fixed Rena to be comfortable before settling his own uncomfortability.
Rika and a heavily panting Renamon walked to the building and found a set of seats as well "You did well." Rika sighed, almost as if forced to admit this "Basing your strategy off Rena's speed and adding power to make up for her lack of it during attacks. The switch between attack and defense was fluid, and when on the offensive you were relentless. You almost remind me of myself."
Takashi nodded
"That said, you need to work on your slashing speed. Renamon's last attack was slow enough that you would have been able to slash another speed card. That takes time to develop. Maybe I'll spar with you more often."
"Takato and Henry could only watch as the two chessmasters nodded sharing an unseen understanding.
"I don't mean to disappoint, but as you saw, I wasn't that good."
"You'll get better with time."
"Alright. Now What about you two? How's your battle going?"
