I threw open the front door, watching it hang drunkenly on what was left of the hinges. I could feel it! A digital creature was emerging.
I could feel where it was coming from. I stepped out onto the crumbling Japanese porch and willed the transformation to occur.
Immediately my vision grew fuzzy and my face split apart. So did my back and legs. I was getting ready, I had strewn too long in my hole-in-the- wall, my lair.
It was time to get down to business.. it was time to play.
________________________________________________________________________
Her room was dark. Then again it always was at night.
Humans slept in the dark, well most of them. They didn't seem to be grateful for the light. They didn't really seem to understand what the night brought with it.
The digimon called Renamon thought to herself. She had always watched over her mistress at night, when she slept.
Ever since the Icedevimon however, it had become an event. One that Renamon looked forward to everyday.
She knew her mistress felt something about her; she was just too cold to admit it. It was like she was holding back somehow, like she was to embarrassed to let even an inkling of warmth escape from behind her façade of ice.
---BEEP-BEEP-BEEP--- Her D-ark had detected something! Renamon stood in place; she knew that her tamer would wake up to that sound quickly enough. She didn't need to say "Ruki, its time to get up" or anything.
My mistress stood straight up from her bedding and said "Renamon its time to go" in a commanding tone. Now she could emerge from the shadows to greet her mistress.
"As you wish Ruki-san" she said and disappeared again, this time she would stay like this to follow her mistress through the city streets without being seen.
It would take her mistress a few seconds to get dressed in her clothes and get ready. Renamon's eyes however, could follow her mistress wherever she was.
She could see her human pulling on her favorite "broken heart' shirt. She wasn't old enough to need to bother with a bra, but she was supposed to wear a thin white "under shirt" under any T-shirt she wore.
Ruki didn't.
That was one of the things Renamon was proud of about her mistress, she didn't stress petty issues.
Renamon watched as Ruki climbed into her jeans and steal a glance at her D- ark, she could see her tamer 'mouth' what was displayed on the tiny screen, "Harpymon" then Ruki opened the sliding door to her room and started off in the direction the compass on her D-ark was pointing.
________________________________________________________________________
I pinpointed the area where the digital creature was supposed to appear and started to wait. I've been waiting he thought to himself. Once this thing did show up he was going to beat it severely before ending its life.
Just then he started to feel something else, another creature? No too small. He concentrated on the vibration his legs were picking up and realized it was human. Human steps, running steps. "Tiny, running steps," he thought to himself.
"A human who knows a digital creature is coming?" unlikely he thought. Then he remembered "the children", three kids who had been running around with digital monsters destroying the emerging ones.
He didn't know if their creatures had just been tagging along with the human children or just showed up when they did. The small one was still a ways off, plenty of time to deal with the creature.
Just then he saw it, it stood around five feet tall. With bird wings for arms, it reminded him of the "harpy" of Greek mythology.
It was shrouded in a white fog, a side affect of emerging from the "net world". The fog would help him catch it, it sure as hell wouldn't hear him coming. He looked around for something he could climb up on; a tree's limbs were hanging just over the creature several feet away.
"This is going to easier than I thought" he said so himself. Using his 'other legs' he skittered the five or six feet distance in total silence, put his forelegs on the trunk of the ancient tree and raised the set behind them.
He exerted a minor amount of strength in pulling himself up and climbing vertically up the tree, until he reached the branch he was looking for. It would support his weight until he could lower himself down. Using all of his 'other legs' now he swung his weight over to the left--and onto the branch. He was now above the creature, it was now moving, testing out the feel of its new limbs.
It technically wasn't 'materiel' before emerging, so even its own body would feel new to it. As he lowered himself down from the branch, he started to go over his plan. "Should I just kill it outright and wait for the human?" no he was going to have some fun. Even more so if a digital creature came with the human. He was just inches away from the 'harpy" now, he clicked his fangs and it started to turn-- "Too late!" he called out loud and bit down on it.
________________________________________________________________________
The night air was warm; Ruki didn't think she needed anything more than a T- shirt. Even so it was chilly. "This wont take long" she thought to herself "it never does" the D-ark was pointing to a secluded, dark area of town. But then, Renamon was with her, so she didn't think anything could touch her.
She knew the yellow fox was somewhere, she couldn't see her but she knew she was there. Doing that weird "phase-out" thing she did so well. Ruki began to near the spot the compass was pointing to and started to slow down from running.
"Renamon?" she called out.
"Yes Ruki-san?" Renamon appeared and answered.
"Where is it?"
"I cannot tell, Ruki-san"
"You can't tell?"
"What does your D-ark say Ruki-san?" Ruki looked down at the tiny screen.
"It's locked on it, but where is it?" the device could only tell you the area in which the digimon appeared, not where in the area.
Renamon took the initiative and went first; aware that what ever had appeared was still there, waiting. Ruki followed Renamon at a safe distance. Not wanting to get ambushed herself.
She kept her D-ark ready in one hand, her other was planted firmly on her card case, should Renamon need help. Renamon who was in front of her stopped abruptly.
"Have you found it yet Renamon?"
"Yes Ruki-san"
"Well destroy it!"
"I don't think that's necessary Ruki-san"
Renamon stepped out of the way to reveal what looked like the Harpymon, from the image her D-ark had shown her it looked like a kind of bird woman. Wings for arms and a beak where a mouth would have been if it were human.
It was just laying there, two oddly shaped holes in its bare stomach. Its wing-arms pulled in to its chest in a sort of fetal position.
Ruki looked back at Renamon who had a disgusted look on her usually calm face. At seeing Renamon's expression, her blood ran cold. Renamon never did that. She was always calm, no matter what.
After getting a good look at the digimon's condition, Ruki cringed too. It was pitiful, lying there in a fetal position with one leg twitching.
Ruki's mind tried to find an answer to the situation, but couldn't. "What could have done this?" she thought.
Goggle heads digimon breathed fire. And it sure didn't have teeth like that. The holes in the Harpymon's chest looked like vampire bites. "Yeah right" she thought to herself, "bela Lugosi just swooped down here and turned the Harpymon into a midnight snack" she almost laughed out loud at the thought of that.
But then, the kid with the blue hair "lee" something had a digimon too. But she quickly crossed that explanation off. His digimon was like a floppy eared rabbit, unless it was hiding an extra pair of teeth under those big ears, it couldn't have made holes like that.
Ruki crossed her arms and rubbed them to warm them up, as Renamon was crouching down to get a better look at the Harpymon.
________________________________________________________________________
Renamon crouched down in front of the once dangerous Harpymon, aware of what was going on.
"Something had got to it before us" she thought numbly. That was obvious, but then what? Renamon wasn't sure. The Harpymon had been bitten by something, like by fangs. But fangs from what? The holes in the Harpymons chest were teardrop-shaped, as if whatever had made them had slashed down.
But.there seemed to be discoloration around the puncture marks. Tiny purple lines etched out from them. Renamon then realized why the Harpymon was incapacitated.
----Tic-- tic-- tic---- "AAIIEE!" Ruki was screaming! Renamon heard the scream and spun around rising from her crouch. And stopped dead in her tracks as she saw what was before her.
There was what appeared to be a human torso, its arms latched on to Ruki from behind. Renamon saw why Ruki had screamed, there were spider fangs dug deep in her right shoulder. The fangs were attached to a human head, it looked like a human face. A nose, mouth, a chin. The feature's looked male. But the resemblance stopped there. The fangs had apparently sprouted out from the cheeks. Were there should have been two eyes, eight jet black spider eyes started and ran all the way to the top of the forehead, in two rows, side by side.
Ruki's scream had died down to a pained moan as she struggled to get away from it. Renamon darted forward; she had to get Ruki away from it! The spider-thing looked up and something moved behind it, something Renamon couldn't see.
--WHACK! -- Renamon was struck in the side of her head by something. Something cold and hard. It hit her hard enough to bring tears to her eyes and throw her to the ground.
Landing face first on the asphalt with a "WHUMP"; she got herself together and threw her weight into a roll that at least got her to her feet. "Damn that hurt," she thought. Got to get Ruki away from it! The things arms, more or less human, were latched around her waist.
"But what hit me?" she thought. "It couldn't have done that with its arm's could it?" Renamon's question was answered as she heard the 'clicking' sound again.
---Tic-tic---tic-- and the creature moved foreword-dragging Ruki with it. Four or five gigantic black spider leg's came into view. "They have to be at least eight feet long!" Renamon thought. That's how it's moving! Renamon didn't see anything else holding it up. No human legs, which she should still be able to see, even if it's behind Ruki.
Then the creature lifted its fang's up from Ruki's shoulder. "They seem to able swing up and down," she thought. Ruki's 'broken heart' T-shirt now had two bloody teardrop shaped holes in it, just below her collarbone.
"Ha! That's right taste it bitch!" The creature cackled out from behind Ruki. That bastard! Then the spider-thing's arm's (the human one's) reached up and grabbed Ruki by her shoulder's pushing her foreword.
It was strong; Ruki practically flew away from it. "Got to catch her!" Renamon's mind screamed. Renamon, using a burst of speed, caught her by one of her arms before she could hit the ground. The girl was unconscious; Renamon swept her off the ground and into her arms.
Renamon debated with herself shortly whether or not to try and fight the creature, but quickly decided to run, favoring the option of getting Ruki to someplace safe. She thought she could hear the creature behind her, but the 'clicking' sound seemed to fade with each of her running steps. Off she went into the night, cradling the dearest thing to her in her arms.
________________________________________________________________________
The yellow-fox-thing didn't even put up a fight! It seemed to busy with getting it's human away from him.
"Oh well, no matter" he said to no one at all. He had bitten the girl, her death warrant practically signed. "Signed by me," he thought to himself. They had gotten away, but he still had a warm meal waiting for him.
He walked casually over to the harpy. It was still there, staring blankly through eyes of glass.
He picked it up with his forelegs and looked it over. Finding a good spot, it's abdomen, thrust his fang's down into it. It seemed to cry out slightly when he did this, a gust of air escaping from its paralyzed lip's. He then started to throttle his fangs up and down tearing into it. It seemed to be twitching now, shaking almost. He kept tearing into it until he had made a ragged hole in its stomach the size of volleyball.
Bits of data energy were now escaping from the gaping hole. The creature stopped moving around that time. He was hungry; he stuck his face into the hole in the creature's chest and inhaled. 'Hurrrgh' a deep, guttural sound.
He kept inhaling, sucking up the bits of floating data. Then the creature started to breakup. Becoming immaterial. Until it was only a cloud of shifting data, but he kept inhaling it. Drawing it in. finally after six or seven filling breaths, he was satisfied.
"Ahhh, that hit the fucking spot!" he cried out into the empty night. "What to do now?" he thought to himself. He knew the fox-thing would eventually come looking for him. When it's human's condition started to worsen.
He imagined what fun it would be to listen to the girl's agonized cries, as she slowly slid towards death. What drivel she'd spout as her creature could only sit by and watch. He grinned and started to giggle at the thought. He was going to have some more fun tonight. "Now to set the trap," he said to himself, as he started off towards the 'industrial' area of town.
________________________________________________________________________
Ruki's shoulder hurt. She couldn't tell where she was. "It feel's like I'm flying" she thought. Her vision was blurry and dark.
She soon gave up trying to 'see' with her eyes and concentrated on what she felt. It felt as if she was riding in a fast moving car, the 'car' kept hitting bumps every once in a while. But they didn't feel like 'bumps' they just felt like dips. Smooth dips as if she was going up and down, like jumping.
Ruki felt tired and didn't see any objections to taking a nap. "Wonder where Renamon is?" she thought as the darkness claimed her once again.
________________________________________________________________________
Renamon was running. She had to keep running. The spider-creature was long gone, but she had to get Ruki home. She was still running when she entered Ruki's yard. All the house's lights were off. That meant that her mother and grandmother were still asleep.
"Why wouldn't they be at midnight?" Renamon thought to herself. She set Ruki down gently in front her door so she could open it.
'Traditional' Japanese home's were kind of 'open air' there was no hallway's to them. All the rooms were connected by a sort of 'long porch' that ran to all the entrances to the rooms, but really kept nothing out. Renamon shoved the sliding door open and picked Ruki up again.
The room was still dark; she had left the lights off. Renamon carried Ruki to her bed, her 'futon' and drew the heavy blanket aside, and laid Ruki on the mattress. Renamon then turned her attention to Ruki's clothes.
Her 'broken heart' T-shirt had two bloody holes in it just below her collarbone. Renamon stuck her hands under the rim of the thin shirt and lifted off her as gently as she could. She didn't want to hurt her any more than she already was. After removing the bloody T-shirt Renamon was now facing Ruki's bare chest, but she unfortunately had no time to stare.
The teardrop shaped bite marks were smaller than she thought. They were only about one, or two centimeters long. They had no width, they were like slits. They had stopped bleeding, thankfully, but then Renamon saw something that made her stomach drop like a stone, there were tiny purple etching out from the bite marks. Just like the ones on the Harpymon, Ruki .was poisoned.
Renamon put her milk white, three fingered hands up to her face, over her eyes, just so she wouldn't have to look at them. "What am I going to do now? Right now she's unconscious and she's only going to get worse!" Renamon thought rapidly.
She knew from looking at the Harpymon that the spider-things venom caused paralysis, "but she can still move right?" Renamon thought to herself. Renamon looked back down at Ruki, stuck out her center finger and poked her lightly near her belly button.
Ruki released a sleepy moan and with her eyes still closed, batted her right hand in the general direction of where she was poked.
"Alright!" Renamon mentally cheered. "She's not too far gone" Renamon blew out a sigh of relief. She had time, time to figure out what she was going to do. Renamon crawled over to the foot of the bed, and started unlacing Ruki's shoes. Pulling them off, setting them down where Ruki usually tossed her sneakers. Ruki stirred a little while she was doing this, Renamon looked up at Ruki and noticed her forehead was shiny.
Renamon frowned and put her hand up on Ruki's forehead, it was wet, and warm, too warm. "She's getting a fever!" Renamon was worried now. "How much time does she actually have?" Renamon thought. She still had to hurry.
Renamon got up and made her self disappear, reappearing in the bathroom. She scooped up a face cloth and turned on the faucet, wetting the cloth, she disappeared again and reappeared back at Ruki's bedside. She started to clean away the now dried blood from around Ruki's wound.
"Renamon.where.I think.I think" Renamon looked down at Ruki, her eyes were still closed. "She's talking in her sleep" Renamon thought to herself.
Renamon balled up the damp cloth and dropped next to Ruki's bedside. "I've got to find him, got to find that spider person," Renamon thought. Pulling the covers of Ruki's bed over the wound, up to her shoulders, the way she usually had them, Renamon walked over to the door.
"I've got to do this by my self, I cant go to the other tamers for help, Ruki would wind up being embarrassed and grow even more cold. Nothings ever stopped me from saving her, not when the Dokugumon had beaten me down, not when she was stolen right out from under me by the Icedevimon"
Renamon walked over to where Ruki lay. "So beautiful.so strong" Renamon said out loud softly and crouched down, leaned in and put her right arm around Ruki's neck, lifting her up slightly.
Renamon put her left arm around her waist, so she could use her other one to reach up, grasping at Ruki's hair, letting it down from its perpetual ponytail. "So beautiful." Renamon whispered as her lips met with Ruki's. "Mmm" Renamon moaned, closing her eyes, kissing her love.
"Wish she could be awake for this" Renamon thought. After what seemed like hours, Renamon drew back from her kiss. "Got to hurry, she's getting warmer!" Renamon reluctantly set Ruki back down and pulled the covers over her and started for the door.
"I'll be back, Ruki." Renamon said out loud and opened the door, let her self out and closed it behind her.
The night was waiting for her. It began to rain, peppering everything with water.
And then Renamon started off, into the night.
To be continued.

Ruki felt tired and didn't see any objections to taking a nap. "Wonder where Renamon is?" she thought as the darkness claimed her once again.
________________________________________________________________________
Renamon was running. She had to keep running. The spider-creature was long gone, but she had to get Ruki home. She was still running when she entered Ruki's yard. All the house's lights were off. That meant that her mother and grandmother were still asleep.
"Why wouldn't they be at midnight?" Renamon thought to herself. She set Ruki down gently in front her door so she could open it.
'Traditional' Japanese home's were kind of 'open air' there was no hallway's to them. All the rooms were connected by a sort of 'long porch' that ran to all the entrances to the rooms, but really kept nothing out. Renamon shoved the sliding door open and picked Ruki up again.
The room was still dark; she had left the lights off. Renamon carried Ruki to her bed, her 'futon' and drew the heavy blanket aside, and laid Ruki on the mattress. Renamon then turned her attention to Ruki's clothes.
Her 'broken heart' T-shirt had two bloody holes in it just below her collarbone. Renamon stuck her hands under the rim of the thin shirt and lifted off her as gently as she could. She didn't want to hurt her any more than she already was. After removing the bloody T-shirt Renamon was now facing Ruki's bare chest, but she unfortunately had no time to stare.
The teardrop shaped bite marks were smaller than she thought. They were only about one, or two centimeters long. They had no width, they were like slits. They had stopped bleeding, thankfully, but then Renamon saw something that made her stomach drop like a stone, there were tiny purple etching out from the bite marks. Just like the ones on the Harpymon, Ruki .was poisoned.
Renamon put her milk white, three fingered hands up to her face, over her eyes, just so she wouldn't have to look at them. "What am I going to do now? Right now she's unconscious and she's only going to get worse!" Renamon thought rapidly.
She knew from looking at the Harpymon that the spider-things venom caused paralysis, "but she can still move right?" Renamon thought to herself. Renamon looked back down at Ruki, stuck out her center finger and poked her lightly near her belly button.
Ruki released a sleepy moan and with her eyes still closed, batted her right hand in the general direction of where she was poked.
"Alright!" Renamon mentally cheered. "She's not too far gone" Renamon blew out a sigh of relief. She had time, time to figure out what she was going to do. Renamon crawled over to the foot of the bed, and started unlacing Ruki's shoes. Pulling them off, setting them down where Ruki usually tossed her sneakers. Ruki stirred a little while she was doing this, Renamon looked up at Ruki and noticed her forehead was shiny.
Renamon frowned and put her hand up on Ruki's forehead, it was wet, and warm, too warm. "She's getting a fever!" Renamon was worried now. "How much time does she actually have?" Renamon thought. She still had to hurry.
Renamon got up and made her self disappear, reappearing in the bathroom. She scooped up a face cloth and turned on the faucet, wetting the cloth, she disappeared again and reappeared back at Ruki's bedside. She started to clean away the now dried blood from around Ruki's wound.
"Renamon.where.I think.I think" Renamon looked down at Ruki, her eyes were still closed. "She's talking in her sleep" Renamon thought to herself.
Renamon balled up the damp cloth and dropped next to Ruki's bedside. "I've got to find him, got to find that spider person," Renamon thought. Pulling the covers of Ruki's bed over the wound, up to her shoulders, the way she usually had them, Renamon walked over to the door.
"I've got to do this by my self, I cant go to the other tamers for help, Ruki would wind up being embarrassed and grow even more cold. Nothings ever stopped me from saving her, not when the Dokugumon had beaten me down, not when she was stolen right out from under me by the Icedevimon"
Renamon walked over to where Ruki lay. "So beautiful.so strong" Renamon said out loud softly and crouched down, leaned in and put her right arm around Ruki's neck, lifting her up slightly.
Renamon put her left arm around her waist, so she could use her other one to reach up, grasping at Ruki's hair, letting it down from its perpetual ponytail. "So beautiful." Renamon whispered as her lips met with Ruki's. "Mmm" Renamon moaned, closing her eyes, kissing her love.
"Wish she could be awake for this" Renamon thought. After what seemed like hours, Renamon drew back from her kiss. "Got to hurry, she's getting warmer!" Renamon reluctantly set Ruki back down and pulled the covers over her and started for the door.
"I'll be back, Ruki." Renamon said out loud and opened the door, let her self out and closed it behind her.
The night was waiting for her. It began to rain, peppering everything with water.
And then Renamon started off, into the night.
To be continued.
