"Talking"
'Thinking'
-- Scene change
Chapter one: Freight trains can be stealthy
Shin picked himself up off the street. "Ow damn it! You ok BT?" he asked his dog bunny partner.
"Yeah mostly. That Digimon was Parallelmon. Wasn't it?" The black bunny Digimon asked from atop Shin's head.
"I think so yeah. And if that's the case then we'd best be prepared for anything. BT get in the bag" Shin stated flatly.
"Why? I hate the bag! It's hot and it smells funny and there's always dirt from your rollerblades" BT whined.
"No choice BT if we landed on some bass ackwards planet where Digimon are evil or hated or unheard of then I don't want to stir up trouble before we know how to get back" Shin replied with a sigh.
As his tamers set the black pack down BT sighed removing the rollerblades and hopping into the bag. "Promise I won't be in here too long Shin." BT whimpered.
"I promise BT. Now hush up I'm gonna get some directions and info" Shin replied strapping on his blades and goggles and stepping into a bakery nearby.
The woman at the counter looked at Shin. First as if something was wrong as the black haired blue eyed boy was dressed in a red hooded sweat shirt, black and red sneakers, black cargo pants and a pair of black rimmed goggles with red lenses and then with a smile. "Well you're a little old to be one of Takato's fans I think but it takes all kinds I suppose. Takato isn't here right now but can I interest you in something while you wait?"
Shin's mind ran though a number of reactions until the gears in his mind stopped at the word Jackpot and he defaulted on speaking without his brains help. "Guilmon bread" he stated pulling out forty dollars.
"That's a little much for bread" Miss Matsuki replied.
"I owe my friend and he said just get him and the others some bread from here and he'd call it even" Shin lied.
"Oh well then here you go" she stated happily filling two large bag.
"Thank you very much, please tell Takato hello for me" Shin returned skating out the door.
After they were out of sight BT popped out of the bag and rested on Shin shoulder. "Well I guess that means you can meet your hero then" the dog bunny remarked.
"Hell yes it does!" Shin replied happily as the two coasted toward the park. "You know I always wanted to know what Guilmon bread tastes like" Shin sighed wearing a grin ear to ear.
"So if Takato has fans then that means that the D-reaper thing already happened right?" BT asked looking around at the few people on the streets, looking up the little Digimon found a clock on the side of a building.
Shin eyed the clock. 'Nine forty five huh? That means that Takato and the others would be in school and Rika would be at that private school across town…well assuming time flows the same and it's still Wednesday' Shin thought. Turning to his partner Shin grinned "At least buddy. Well the fastest way to get info would be to talk to Guilmon. Assuming it's a week day he should be at that hut of his."
"And if he isn't?" the black dog bunny asked resting comfortably on his partner's shoulder.
"Then we use your stealth to talk to Seiko and ask her some questions. While I stay far, far away from the house" Shin remarked with slight fear.
"Hey why aren't you coming to talk to her yourself?" The black and blue Digimon replied.
"Because you have the ability to sneak. Renamon is a friggin ninja and I'm about as stealthy as a freight train. At this point I think trying to explain that I'm from an alternate reality would be hard and Renamon isn't exactly the talking type she's more of the hitty type and I bleed easily." Shin replied as they rolled up to the hut.
BT blinked. "Er good point" he mumbled hopping off his partner's shoulder. "Guilmon!" BT yelled bringing the Red Dino forward toward the locked gate. "Terriermon? Aren't you supposed to be at home? What happened to your face?" the red virus asked tilting his head slightly.
Shin decided to interject rather then have BT reply and confuse the hazard bearing Digimon. "Um. Hi um I'm Shin and this is my partner BT" the blue eyed boy muttered nervously showing his D-Power to Guilmon.
Guilmon examined the boy. He seemed to be bigger then Takato but not much older than Takato by what the red dino could figure. The D-Power that Shin held was all black with a blue ring and strap.
Guilmon sniffed the air quietly then spoke up. "Are you friends of Takato's?"
Shin tensed up. He'd never admit it but he was damn afraid of Guilmon. Megidramon scared the piss out of him and that may have been the reason he was afraid of battle wild Digimon with BT, viral Digimon creeped him out. "Yes, uh that is I'd like to be. We're kinda on a mission you see and I need some information. I needed to know if an event involving Locomon took place recently and if the gate to the digital world is still active in your…er, home"
"Yeah Rika and Takato went on board to stop Locomon but Parasimon attacked them then we Digivolved and destroyed them all." Guilmon replied happily.
Shin smiled remembering his first time watching the movie. "That's fantastic Guilmon. Listen I'll be back around here in a little bit. Is that ok with you?"
Guilmon nodded happily "sure."
"Alright see you in a while then" Shin waved as he motioned BT to follow him.
BT hopped onto his Tamers shoulder and the two sped off toward the Nonaka household and a hopefully enlightening conversation with Seiko.
"What's next?" BT asked perking up his ears scanning for Digimon.
"We talk to Seiko. Even though I got the first piece of info from Guilmon I still need Jeri's address." Shin replied
"Why would Rika's grandma had Jeri's address? And why do we need it" BT asked confused.
Shin shrugged. "There's actually a good chance that she doesn't but its option one cause I can speak to her without a lot questions after the fact. To be honest we need to pay her a little visit"
"Shin you howlin dog! I knew you never supported the Henry, Jeri pairing but to think the reason was because you had a crush on her" BT teased.
Shin turned red in the face. "I uh…it's not like that I…we need Calumon and Jeri's Digivice." Shin stated stuttering.
"Sure uh huh whatever you say" BT teased further as the two stopped.
Shin looked the clock near the bus stop. 'Eleven already? Damn it we have to find a faster way around' the blue eyed boy thought with a sigh. "Here BT take this phone and give to Seiko. Make sure that Rika and her mom aren't there and don't get caught by Renamon. I don't need some weird ass interconnected universe paradox thing dropping others here or having us wind up on TV or something else." Shin warned his partner then ducked into an alley awaiting his partner's signal.
BT Ran over and hopped into a yard then across two more before dropping into the Nonaka's yard flawlessly. His head snapped around to see if he'd been caught. Luckily it seemed that the shadowy dog bunny was safe. Sprinting toward the entrance the little Digimon had almost made it when Renamon blindsided him pinning him to the ground. "Just what do you think you're doing little one?" The vulpine Digimon asked with an edge in her voice.
"Damn it I'm friggin built for stealth and I can't out ninja you. What are you like level ninety nine?" BT growled struggling.
Renamon was about to delete BT when she caught the smell of human on him. "You aren't a wild one are you? Where is your Tamer?"
"Elsewhere. He sent me to deliver a message to the old lady that lives here" BT replied.
"I see…what did he want to speak to her about?" Renamon asked loosening her grip slightly.
BT gave as close as he could to a shrug. "I don't know he just said give…Seiko the phone and push talk." The dog bunny answered truthfully.
Renamon narrowed her eyes examining him. "Alright I believe you. But you'll have to show me to your tamer first"
"No can do Foxymon. If my tamer thought that was an option he would have already been here speaking to grandma in there in person. For whatever reason he won't show and he also know you won't kill me so he can wait you out. You'd be better off just having Seiko talk to my Tamer so I can be out of your fur" BT replied hoping that the fox would believe him.
Renamon seemed to believe his little bluff and released her grip changing it one that had him by the ears only. Calmly she stood up and hauled the bunny Digimon into the house.
Seiko entered the room showing no sign of shock at Renamon's package. "A visitor?" the older woman questioned.
Renamon nodded. "He says a friend would like to talk to you"
BT held up the phone "Shin said push talk and you'll get connected so you can talk" BT struggled a bit against Renamon's grip, not intentionally mind you but rather as a reflex of pain. "Ow! Let go of my ears damn it that hurts!" BT yelped.
"So Shin your Tamer's name hmm?" Renamon mused raising the little Digimon to her eye level.
Seiko took the phone and motioned for the vulpine Digimon to put the bunny down and to be quiet. The elder Nonaka pushed talk on the phone then put it to her ear.
The phone rang on Shin's end and he answered it. "Hello Seiko? Er that is Miss Nonaka."
"Hello mister Shin" Seiko replied politely.
Shin was put off by her answer. "Er well my last name is Atsuki miss Nonaka. The reason I called is that I need some information. You see my Partner BT. That is the little Digimon that handed you the phone are involved in an over arching project that is urgent at its very lowest levels. Normally I would be happy to speak to you in person however I do not have time enough to do so or for that matter coordinate with the other Shinjuku Tamers. I need to speak to Calumon and Impmon. As soon as possible since they are central to the operation. I was told that you could be of some use in locating the points where intelligence has confirmed they were last seen staying. I'm looking for the address of Jeri Kato. I'm terribly sorry for this the Intel department really should be doing their job."
Shin sighed inwardly 'good first impression. Nothing better then lying to the elderly about stealing…oh man I'm going to hell' he thought awaiting Seiko's answer.
After a moment Seiko piped up. "I see then you work with Hypnos then?"
"That's correct ma'am. The guys in Intel have information regarding activity in the digital world however not one of them can find an address in the database. They really are helpless without Janyuu there. If you can please inform your grand daughter and her friends about this as soon as you can" Every other word out of his mouth was a lie. He didn't want the Tamers involved and he certainly didn't work for those government guys and Yamaki.
Seiko could tell the boy was lying however if she tipped her hand he might disappear completely and judging by the way he sent his partner in for him the boy would certainly not slip up more then once. "She and her family run a pub a little ways from Shinjuku station, as for Impmon. I believe Jeri watches his tamers from time to time so you should ask there" Seiko stated.
Unaware of Seiko's suspicions Shin smiled. "Thank you very much miss Nonaka. This will be a great help, one more thing please tell BT to meet me at Shinjuku station."
"I certainly will" Seiko replied cheerfully as the phone clicked off. "Bt. Shin wants you to meet him at Shinjuku train station."
"That's fine but I have no idea where that is" BT lied. The little dog bunny knew not only where the train station was but that Shin didn't intend on being there at all.
Renamon sighed. "I'll take you then" the fox stated. 'At the very least it will allow me you meet his tamer' the fox thought.
BT shrugged "Sure I guess" the bunny stated holding back a fit of giggles. 'Wow right into the trap some ninja you are' the black dog Digimon thought as the two left for the station
--
At the same time Shin dialled the Matsuki Bakery and placed a ridiculously large order to be charged to Hypnos. 'Not only should that keep Takato busy but Yamaki should have his hands full dealing with the shining knights parents…it's a shame I have to go around like this I mean…it's not everyday you get to meet your heroes. Right?' the blue eyed tamer thought sighing. "The things I do to keep the universe from imploding" he mumbled starting on his way to Jeri's.
--
Seiko phoned Rika's school telling the teachers to let her out early. Rumiko was out of town and Seiko figured that missing a day of school wasn't too important considering that this boy might be a threat of some kind if he was in fact a young man and not an evil Digimon. Seiko shivered slightly remembering how those Devas had tried kidnapping that cheerful puffball named Calumon.
Rika got her grandma's message and came home straight away. Not bothering to change before going to see her grandma. Seiko explained what she had heard from the young man and about the black version of Terriermon who brought the phone to her.
--
After about twenty minutes Shin found the place he had been looking for. 'Uh damn it if anybody talks to anybody else I'm screwed and I don't think the government agent lie will work in person' Shin thought tugging at his red sweater. Quickly he swapped his blades for his shoes and found a window in the side of the restaurant. It looked like a locker room. Then in an instant Shin spotted the object he needed, examining the window he found it exactly like the one he had leading to his room back when he was living with his parents. With the experience of sneaking in and out of the house opening the window from the outside was easy.
Shin hopped into the room and grabbed the yellow ringed Digivice at the same time as Jeri entered the room getting information about Shin from Rika on her phone. The black haired tamer freaked and leapt back out the room running as fast as he could. Unfortunately he lost his wallet when his pants caught the windowsill.
--
Rather then leave BT to his own devices Renamon thought it wiser to take him back to the household. While this had been the Kitsune's plan the viral dog bunny proved himself worthy of his stealthy reputation once Renamon had asked him to return with her. In truth she had expected this turn of events but hadn't expected the small Digimon to be as capable as he was.
However whatever speed and stealth BT possessed wasn't tempered with his endurance and the dog bunny found himself cornered and out of energy soon after the chase began. "Go away you ninja freak! I didn't do anything wrong" BT yelled desperately.
"I never said you did. However your tamer didn't show up. Why is that?" Renamon replied questioning the small Digimon.
"I don't know" BT lied.
"Then why wouldn't you want to come with me? Surely your tamer would think to come get you there. No little one I think you do know why he didn't show up. Otherwise you wouldn't be running." Renamon replied stepping into the darkness of the closed alley her eyes becoming like a blue flame.
BT was scared now. It was true that his recently acquired viral tendencies and traits made him braver in these situations however he still was a small Digimon without his friend and out of power.
"No, get, get away from me." BT shouted backing to the alley now frightened out of his mind. Not only had the dog bunny failed his friend. Something that in this case might destroy the universe or at least the barriers between their home one and the Tamers one but now he had Renamon baring down on him.
"Why are you so afraid little one? You said before that you knew I wouldn't delete you." Renamon asked slightly amused at the dog bunny's reaction to being cornered.
BT tried to be brave but seeing Renamon's eyes from the alleyway shadows brought the memories of Devimon and his change from Terriermon into black Terriermon. It scared him and drove him into hysterics. "Shin? Shin help the monster is gonna get me Shin. Shin please help I don't wanna die!" BT began screaming desperately as he cowered and began sobbing.
Renamon was taken back by the small Digimon's response. She knew that she could be scary but she hadn't expected or intended to frighten him so much. The little Digimon seemed truly distressed, so in an act that could be seen as unRenamon like by her friends she leaned down and gently scooped the dog bunny up and began gently rocking him back and forth to calm him down. "Shhh there aren't any monsters here. It's alright" she told BT softly, silently chuckling to herself about the oddity of that statement.
After a few moments BT seemed to stop and fall asleep. Renamon smiled. 'Pleasant dreams little one' the vulpine Digimon thought taking the opportunity to return to her home with the dog bunny.
--
Shin unlike his partner was freaking out at the speed of light. 'One chance. Get to Impmon and tell him about Leomon then hope that Calumon and BT are there with them. Of course that's assuming Renamon isn't on my trail and that they haven't figured out where I'm going. If this all clicks then without Takato handling Guilmon shouldn't be a problem…nah I'm never that lucky' the blade wearing Tamer thought. As he skidded on to the cross town train. "Jesus if I manage to live though this without destroying the universe I'm gonna find Akiyama and take that legendary title for myself" Shin mumbled taking a seat.
--
Henry Wong stepped off the Shinjuku train at the stop near his house. The blue haired boy had, had an interesting morning. First his father pulled him out of going to school to take Terriermon to Hypnos. Henry could understand that as the tests made Terriermon nervous and without Henry there to calm him down the white and green dog bunny tended to make quite a ruckus. But on top of that the computers there detected some kind of self contained Digital field which not only wasn't detectable by his Digivice but Yamaki sent him out to the scene which was a bust. He remembered that Takato's mother had told him about some fan that had dropped by earlier. To which Terriermon made a snappy remark which earned him a rap on the head from his partner.
'Nothing to do but go home I guess' Henry thought as caught sight of Takato running toward the park at full speed.
"Whoa Takatomon is running like he told Rika she was cute" Terriermon remarked.
Rather then scold his partner Henry just nodded. "Hey Takato" he shouted running over to the youth.
"Some guy named Shin took Jeri's Digivice. Apparently Rika said he's a Tamer, her grandma said that he was going to find Impmon after going to Jeri's. I'm going to get Guilmon now." Takato explained quickly as he continued running to the park.
Henry nodded and joined him 'never a dull moment' the blue haired boy thought.
--
BT stood before Seiko, Rika and Renamon. The youngest of which was giving him a hard look. "What?" he exclaimed feeling creeped out by Rika's eyes.
"Why'd your Tamer take Jeri's Digivice?" Rika asked sternly.
BT shrugged. "I don't know. This whole day has been full of weirdness. I wish I had my CDs so I could ignore this whole thing till it goes away"
"Hmm Really?" Rika asked narrowing her eyes.
"Yeah I mean this who- hey wait a minute. You're just doing that not asking really question so I'll slip up and spill thing. Well I win cause I'm not talking to you anymore" BT huffed turning his back on Rika.
--
Shin had arrived at the next station and begun searching for the dark rookie Impmon despite having no idea where to start. Lucky he didn't have to look for long, unlucky Impmon or rather Beelzemon had already been informed and had started his search for the boy. As Shin turned a corner Beelzemon grabbed him by the throat a hauled him up to eye level while pointing one of his shotguns at the boy. "Ok so you tell me whys you feel like taken stuff that ain't yours and maybe I don't ventilate ya" The mega demon blast mode biker stated firmly taking to the air.
Shin's eyes went wide. It was one thing to see the mega demon lord on TV; it was another thing completely to see him in person. Particularly Beelzemon's third eye, Shin knew he'd be having nightmares about it for a while after he got back. If he lived though the next ten minutes of so that is. "L-Le-Leomon" Shin stuttered trying to pull his gaze away from that third eye.
Beelzemon twitched. "What'd you say runt? Speak up what about Leomon?" the mega shouted tightening his grip slightly.
Shin squirmed a little as his body forced a spasm to fight against the pressure the mega had put on it. "Restore his data. Needed her Digivice to restore it…you have the other half" the blue eyed boy croaked.
Beelzemon landed on a nearby building still hold the boy but by his shirt instead of the throat. "If you ain't lying then why didn't you tell the other Tamers?"
"I don't know what'll happen. I don't come from this universe. Parallelmon dumped me and my partner here and I don't know if interacting with them will do something to my world or this one or maybe the digital world." Shin stated.
Beelzemon set the boy down and sat with his legs dangling off the building. "So why interfere at all? You know if it's so dangerous and stuff."
Shin sat down beside the mega and sighed. "Black Terriermon is my partner but he was Terriermon before. We had many adventures and helped a lot of people and Digimon, then one day while we were in the digital world we were attacked by Devimon who hurt Terriermon badly. So bad in fact I thought I was going to lose him I was swiping card after card trying desperately to revive him. Maybe in my rush I swiped one of those special cards. The blue one or red or whatever or maybe a digi-gnome granted my wish and that's why he survived as Black Terriermon. It was at that time I came to understand the extent of Jeri's pain. Of course I can't understand completely because BT lived but once Parallelmon dropped us here it's all I could think about…Jeri didn't deserve that kind of pain and Leomon is the beast king, a hero of heroes. So yeah I did something potentially world shattering and screwed up almost completely by letting them see me but can you blame me? How can call myself a Tamer? No a decent human being if I don't do everything I can to help fix this"
The demon mega looked at the boy for a second blinking separately with each eye then grinning "Alright I'll help but getting where ya need ta go ain't gonna be easy. You said it yourself they saw ya. Damage is done so I don't think it'll get worse by explaining yer self. That way we have more help and nobody breathing down our necks"
Shin stood up. "Deal…just hope they don't kill me before I get the chance" he stated switching his shoes for his roller blades.
Beelzemon nodded grabbing the boy and flying toward the park where the Tamers had asked him to meet.
Beelzemon let Shin go just outside the park as he flew down the Tamers. Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta and their partners were awaiting news from the mega but it was Rika who spoke up. "Did you find him?"
"Yeah" the mega stated simply.
"Then where is he?" The red haired tamer asked grinding her foot into the ground obviously annoyed, believe it or not while she didn't spend as much time with Jeri as she did Takato and Henry Jeri was still some one Rika considered a close friend.
"He's coming, with one heck of a story too" The biker demon replied.
Rika and the others stared in shock. "You didn't drag him back here? Are you sick? He stole Jeri's Digivice remember? Did you at least get that back?" Renamon stated sternly being the first to recover.
"Hey! You mind not chewing out the guy who convinced me to come and talk to you guys, while you're at it let go of my partner" Shin stated firmly.
As the tamers turned around they all heard a click and found that the black haired blue eyed tamer had a gun pointed at the vulpine Digimon's head. "Even if you can Matrix evolve I serious doubt you can Matrix dodge so let go of BT now" the boy ordered.
None of the tamers dared to breathe, without added force BT wriggled free of Renamon hopping on to his Tamer's shoulder. Shin then moved slowly until he was behind Beelzemon, Sighing heavily Shin dropped the gun. "Well I suppose even Ninjas feel fear then. Lucky for me cause that's a fake. You ok BT? They didn't hurt ya did they?" The boy stated dropping to a sitting position.
Takato recovered "a…"
"Fake?" Henry finished both tamers a little uncertain.
"No I'm good. Yeah of course it's fake where would he have gotten a real one? This is Japan It's illegal to carry fire arms unless you're a cop. Besides the only Guns we need are the ones I get when I'm Black Gargomon" BT piped up.
Shin scanned the group before him. Luckily Jeri seemed to not have been scarred by his bluff. 'Yeah that would be the best way to kick off my apology scar her for life' the blue eyed boy thought sarcastically.
After a few minutes the group recovered and Rika started the interrogation. "Why'd you steal Jeri's Digivice?"
"Stealing isn't really the right word; I mean yeah I took it but do have the full intention of returning it, the reason I took it instead of just telling you about my plan was that I believed that because I come from a different earth then this one I thought I might damage one of the worlds or even the digital one if I didn't keep my interactions to a minimum. That being said I couldn't go hide in a hole somewhere while there was a chance to bring back Leomon, so I took her Digivice and went to get Impmon because he has at least half the beast king's data and the Digivice should have the rest of the data. Of course Impmo- er Beelzemon made the point that the damage is already done so there's no point in fighting on two fronts…of course judging by the Digimon queen's expression I'm still gonna have a fight on my hands…heh heh" Shin laughed nervously eying Rika and Renamon as he rubbed the back of his head.
Takato and Jeri's faces both lit up. "Really? You mean you know how to bring him back?" they asked in unison.
Shin slid back nervously. "I…that is I know the theory I mean it's not complete I mean I don't know how to get to file island and even then at this point we might have to go to Anubismon instead and just getting to him. I mean he's in the dark area and well if he says no then…well then I don't know…"
The group's mood dipped a bit at Shin's admission and Shin hung his head "I…I'm sorry" he mumbled.
"Hey! Kid yer a realist, I respect that but weren't you the one who call em a hero of heroes? No self respecting Digimon would object to bringing Leomon back so if he does he's gotta be a bad guy and then…bada boom if ya know what I'm sayin. After all how can you call yourself a decent person if you don't try right?" the demon biker injected raising his shotgun.
Shin snapped his gaze to meet the demon's. "Right…that right" he mumbled recovering his smile. "Alright I can't promise anything but to try, so I hope you can forgive me for what I've done" the blue eyed boy stated not daring to make eye contact with the other Tamers for fear that they were holding a grudge.
After a few tense moments Jeri was the first person to step forward. "Of course I do. After hearing that how could I be angry? All the same could I have it back?"
Shin felt stupid for not giving it back right away. "Ah. Yeah of course" he mumbled pulling it out of his back pocket and extending his hand as he looked up locking his blue eyes with her amber ones and felt a faint warmth creep ever so slightly on to his face. Luckily neither she nor the others seemed to notice. Jeri gently took back her Digivice and stepped back. "I. I didn't it's just the danger and…sorry" Shin mumbled.
Jeri shook her head "I already say I forgive you. So stop worrying"
Shin nodded swallowing hard.
BT sighed and sabotaged his Tamers roller blades causing him to crash into the ground knocking the wind of him. BT took the moment to hop up on his Partner's chest. "If you say another word about being sorry I'll light your cards on fire, then I'll throw them AND you into a hole and bury you. Get your head in the game man! We have a mission submission and I never fail" BT stated tugging on the corners of his partner's face.
All the tension seemed to break after BT's rant and Rika started laughing "Are you SURE that you're his tamer and not the other way around?"
Shin honestly didn't a comeback as he got to his feet holding BT so he shrugged. "Could be. What do you think little buddy?"
"Naw then I'd have to wake up before noon. You can keep the job" BT laughed.
Somehow that reminded Rika of Ryo and left a bad taste in her mouth. "Alright so did you plan on leaving?" the red head asked.
Shin shrugged. I was trying to be stealthy so I had intended to leave…well like probably two hours ago but since we're travelling as a group that really isn't my responsibility. Ask him" Shin stated pointing to Takato.
Takato backed away slightly as all eyes reached him. "A…eh heh heh. What?"
"Well pick a Time Goggle head, after all he's right you are the leader you know" Rika insisted.
"No way…I'm no leader" Takato laughed being humble as he usually was.
"Yes you are" the group replied in relative unison squashing his protest.
Takato sighed defeated. "Alright we'll meet here after school lets out tomorrow. Henry tell your dad about what's happening and get him to inform Yamaki…I have a feeling we'll need his help with his."
The group nodded and Shin was about to turn and leave when Rika grabbed him. "Not so fast mister "works for Hypnos" you have some explaining to do to my grandmother. Some apologising too" Rika stated firmly dragging the blade wearing Tamer away as she waved back to the others.
The rest of the group scattered back to where they belonged spending the night explaining what was happening and preparing for the trip ahead. Shin spent half the night explaining the truth and asking Seiko forgiveness and the other half being questioned by Rika. After confessing that he knew about everything up to and including what Shin characterized as romantic (if only to annoy the Digimon queen) scene where Takato rescued her on Locomon, taking time to hassle her about the look in her eyes after Takato say he wouldn't let go the first thing Rika did was feed him a right hook which the blue eyed boy took surprisingly well. The second thing she did was made him promise to never speak of it again.
To credit the boy's intelligence for agreeing would be premature as the next thing he said was "I don't see why you're embarrassed. You're both obviously very important to each other, besides I mean a queen and her knight. How cute is that?"
Rika fed him a left and two more rights though as Renamon noticed (hell you could have seen it from space) Rika was a bright shade of red as she threw the male tamer and his partner out into the living room for the night.
Renamon would talk to Rika when the time came but for now remained silent as the Red headed tamer crawled into bed. 'Tomorrow will be a big day' she thought drifting off to sleep.
End of chapter one…To be continued.
I hope you've enjoyed the first chapter. If you liked it please review and tell me so.
