Hah! They like each other, but are in denial!

Chapter Two: Stirring Emotions

Outside, Beelzemon was wandering around. True to his word, he had gone to Burgermon Village to get something to eat, and after enjoying a delicious meal served by the friendly little Burgermon, he began riding around the area. It was during this he ran into a few Digimon cowering in a cave.

"You guys all right?" he asked. They were a group of Tentomon and Palmon.

"Y-yes…" a Tentomon said. "We were saved by a beautiful purple holy Digimon. She fought the Devidramon that had been terrorizing us for three weeks. She defeated him so easily…"

"What did this Digimon look like?" Beelzemon asked.

"She was tall…..and had long silver hair. She also had a fox mask and a staff," a Palmon said.

"Thanks," Beelzemon said. He then heard a roar and a female's scream. "Please don't tell me that was what I think it was…" he said before rushing off.

"Wasn't he one of the Demon Lords?" a Tentomon asked.

Where Beelzemon wound up was seeing said fox woman fighting Devitamamon, a hideous demon Digimon that was half in an eggshell.

"Foolish idiot Digimon," Devitamamon mocked. "You don't have the strength to defeat me!"

"Of course I do! Illuminator! Celestial Cross!" she shouted, striking the Digimon. Devitamamon snarled.

"Foolish brat," he snarled. "Destroy Cannon!" he roared, hitting her with a blast of darkness. The Digimon fox screamed in agony. "Give up yet?" he mocked.

"N-never…" she said, weakened.

"Black Death Cloud!" he shouted, hitting her with a cloud of dark gas that made her feel so dizzy, and then…

"Double Impact!" Beelzemon shouted, hitting Devitamamon with two bullets. "Demon Blast!" he unleashed a massive blast of darkness that struck down and knocked out the Fractal Code of the Digimon. Beelzemon absorbed the Code and faced the fox Digimon. "You okay? He didn't hurt you too badly, did he?"

"N-no…" she said. Wait…that voice… "You're that Demon Lord! Get away from me!"

Beelzemon sighed in exasperation and rolled his eyes. "Seriously, Youkomon, if I was gonna hurt you; I'd have done so by now."

"I'm not Youkomon anymore," she said in a challenging voice. "I'm Kuzuhamon."

"Kuzuhamon. Okay. Now we're gettin' somewhere. My name is Beelzemon. Now, why were you running from those Devimon earlier?"

"I escaped from that Digimon with the mask," she said.

"Barbamon. Now, why did you escape?"

"He kidnapped me."

"Why did he kidnap you?" he asked. Beelzemon already knew the answers, but he wanted to make certain.

"Because he told me my Mega form was a 'chaos' version of one of the three Tamers' Digimon of a place called…'Shinjuku'."

"Yeah. Sakuyamon," he said. "I know them. Old…acquaintances."

"You're a Demon Lord."

"So? I was only picked because of my final form. I'm not evil. True, I'm cruel, often insensitive, harsh, mean spirited, and a bit of a pyro, but that doesn't mean I'm evil."

Kuzuhamon laughed in spite of herself. Then she winced as her injury throbbed.

"Burgermon Village is nearby," he said, noticing her pain. "Come on. I'll give you a ride there, and we'll get you bandaged up. Then we can go our separate ways. Sound fair, Kuzuha?"

"I guess…but how are we gonna get there?" she asked. Wait…why didn't I get mad? I don't get it, I barely know him – except the fact he's a Demon Lord – and he gave me a nickname. True…he did save my life…twice, and he offered to help me. But what if he just lied and wants to take me back to his friends? He did say he knows some of the Digidestined, the Tamers, but…no, he still probably lied. Why does he have to be a Demon Lord, he's actually kinda cute, and…oh no! Please don't let me be attracted to him! Please don't let me be attracted to him!…………I'm attracted to him. Oh, in the name of Azulongmon, I'm attracted to a Demon Lord!

"You okay?" he asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," Kuzuhamon said.

"Get on," Beelzemon said, leaning down for Kuzuhamon to get on his back.

"Why?"

"You're hurt and can't walk, Kuzuha," Beelzemon said. "So I'll carry you."

"You aren't carrying me all the way to Burgermon Village," she stated coldly.

"No, I'm not. I am carrying you to my motorcycle so I can give you a ride to Burgermon Village."

"Oh," she said, climbing on. "Then let's go."

"All right," he said, beginning to run to his motorcycle. She's really pretty – when she's not accusing me of being a kidnapping monster. Actually, she's very pretty. Beautiful, actually. A goddess fox Digimon of light. Wait a minute……am I attracted to her? Oh man, why is my luck so bad?! Why do I have to be attracted to a holy Digimon?! Stranger yet…she looks just like Sakuyamon – only 100% Digimon and purple. Why am I attracted to her? I'm not attracted to Sakuyamon, but I am Kuzuhamon, he thought as they found Behemoth and got on. Beelzemon carefully set Kuzuhamon on the bike right in front of where he sat. The Demon Lord got on the bike and began to ride to the Village. By the time they got there, Kuzuhamon had passed out from the pain. I guess Devitamamon got her worse than she said. She looks so cute when she's asleep… but I should get her to one of the houses so we can get her medicine, he thought. Beelzemon picked her up and carried her into one of the Burgermon houses.

Oh yeah, she went from Champion to Mega so fast because she went through a Warp Digivolution, skipping her Ultimate stage, Doumon. Yes, I use the American dub versions of the levels. That's because I first saw Digimon as a little kid, and said kid demands that the dubbed versions of names are used. What can I say? That's the creative part of me.
