Disclaimer: I do not digimon, or the characters. WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, this is my first digimon fic. It's about juri's thoughts towards takato and leomon. And it's before d-reaper took over her. And it's short. Please r/r, and enjoy!!!!!!!!!! NO FLAMES, please!!!!!!!!!!! Plus I kinda forgot some of the things that happened in the episode, "Lionheart", which I named this fic after.



Lionheart



Why was I so careless? I finally got my own digimon, after weeks of wishing and praying, but.........I didn't do a single thing to help him. Why didn't I go help him? Why? I just let him go fight Beelzemon all by himself, when I should have stopped him from doing so! I mean, he was only at champion form, facing a mega!!! But I just stood there, doing nothing. I know Leomon wanted to help Kyubimon from being loaded into Beelzemon, but not at the expense of his life!! Why didn't I go help him, why?? Does it mean I don't care about my digimon at all? He saved my life many times, especially against Orochimon. And I didn't even bother to repay him back to what he done for me!! If I helped him, I wouldn't have to see Beelzemon's raven black claws stab into Leomon's heart, and he would still be living right now.

And Takato. He made cute and kawaii Guilmon digivolve into a monster just to get revenge at Beelzemon. Megidramon nearly destroyed the Digital World, and it was all cause of me. His D-ark dissolved into dust, and Taomon and Rapidmon's power was loaded and taken away. It was all my fault. I know that Takato wanted to help me, but I don't deserve it at all. It was me, that made Leomon die at Beelzemon's killing spree, and it is I, that shall face the consequences. I wasn't meant to have happiness in the first place, and I wasn't meant to take care of a digimon, especially one like Leomon. If everyone was meant to have happiness, how come my mom died? She was innocent, and pretty, but why did she die anyway? Because of me.

All those smiles and giggles at school..........they were simply to cover up my real feelings. I didn't want to plague people with my sadness, after what I done to my mom. Takato was maybe the only person that could cheer me up. He was funny, kind and cute. I always enjoyed playing with my dog puppet around him, though I know he finds it weird. I liked him. He was the only boy that didn't think he was so tough and everything like Hirokazu and Kenta, who constantly made fun of me and my friends. I wanted him to like me too, but that would be a dream come true, and dreams never come true for me. If they did, it was only temporary, like with Leomon. Before he died, he told me that I had a heart of a lion. How is that true? A lion has a loyal and brave heart. And I'm certainly not brave or courageous. Or strong.

We two hardly fought in battles. It was usually the other Tamers that took care of the enemy, while we watched, and we only fought in one battle. And that was with Orochimon. Beelzemon and him didn't count because I didn't try to help Leomon in any way. Takato and the others were so brave to get into fights with enemy digimon. It's Takato, not me, that has a heart of a lion. Ruki had her tomboy attitude that I admired so much, and Jenrya was the ever so the logical one of the Tamers. And Ryo, I admire too, for still trying to catch Ruki's heart after she rejected him many times. They had all the attributes I wished I could have. But Takato will always be in my heart forever, my love, for being his caring self. And Leomon, my partner. Aishiteru, Takato Matsuda.
