Renamon: The Doctormon of Love!
The Third Chapter
King Weregarurumon
Author Notes: Same deal as last time: nothing extraordinarily new concerning the plot, except for some revisions. Oh yeah, I believe I did not insert a disclaimer to ward off bloodthirsty lawyers and attorneys. Digimon is owned by Saban…or was it Fox Kids? No, no, no it's Disney for sure! Oh wait, it's really owned by Toei…I think.
Lee, Galgomon, Guilmon and Takato plodded through the park, all four of their heads casted downward. They didn't seem to have any particular direction, for they constantly changed directions. Soon enough, they start to walk around in one large circle.
"Hey, did any of you notice we are walking in one large circle?" Lee asked. The four of them stopped immediately and looked at the worn path they walked into the earth.
"Why were we walking in the first place?" Takato asked. Lee shrugged his shoulders in response.
"To find my true my love!" Guilmon suddenly shouted. Galgomon slapped Guilmon roughly on the back of the head, causing him to crash to the floor.
"Renamon is my love! Get it straight or else!" Galgomon shouted angrily, shaking his machine gun paw at Guilmon. Guilmon shook his dazed head, and then savagely tackled Galgomon.
"That's where you're wrong!" Guilmon bellowed. Galgomon swiped him off with a single paw, and then rose to his feet.
"No, that's where YOU'RE wrong dino boy!"
"No, you're the wrong one Mr. Bunny!"
"I'm not a rabbit for the last time!"
"Your ears tell me otherwise!"
Galgomon's face and ears turned red, bright red. "I… am… not… a… rabbit!" He shouted. Both of his large ears and his machine gun paws wrapped around Guilmon's neck, choking his little body mercilessly.
Lee and Takato immediately rushed to their respective partners, desperate to separate them. They both tried their best, using anything, but nothing worked. Lee stopped struggling suddenly, a light bulb lighting up above his head.
"Why is a light bulb lighting up above your head? I thought that was something used in American cartoons only," Takato said, still struggling.
"So I have a fetish for Looney Tunes. So sue me," Lee casually replied. "Anyway, I think I have a good idea on how to stop these two."
"Gee, you think?" Takato snapped, stuck in between an angry Galgomon and choking Guilmon.
"Galgomon!" Lee suddenly shouted. Galgomon turned his head, his paws and ears still wrapped around Guilmon, and Takato still stuck between the two. "If you stop, I'll buy you some new clothes!"
Galgomon's eyes sparkled with the brightness of ten million stars. "You really mean it?" he questioningly exclaimed. Lee shook his head enthusiastically. Galgomon immediately dropped Guilmon and hopped around happily, setting off mini earthquakes with each landing. "New clothes, new clothes, new clothes!"
"New clothes?" Takato asked, fixing his crumpled clothes. Guilmon rubbed his sore throat, occasionally coughing and taking in deep breaths of air.
"He has been bugging me about it for a while, because he's really into clothes and stuff. He won't believe how much fashion sense this guy has. He picks out my mother's clothes for her," Lee said, a slight grin on his face. "He once saw this guy with mismatching socks, and well… let's just say that it'll take a while to find all the pieces." Takato stared at Lee, then looked at Galgomon with pure terror in his eyes. "Relax Takato, I was just kidding."
"Oh," Takato murmured. He fixed his goggles upon his head, making sure that they didn't obscure his view. "Well, with that done, who's paying the bill?"
* * * * * * * *
Several hours, yen, and stores later, the quartet stopped in its shopping. Galgomon, after many hours of thinking, picked some clothes he felt best suited his taste. He first picked up some new black sneakers, leather jacket, baggy dark silver jeans, and shades for that ever so cool look. Then he picked up a lime suit, complete with white shoes and a lime hat, with a pink feather. The Tamers thought the torture was done, but that was far from the truth.
Not to be outdone by his adversary for Renamon's heart, Guilmon bugged Takato for his own suit. At first, Takato refused at first, but finally gave in after seeing Guilmon smashing mailboxes in a tantrum. After torturing several customers and salespersons, Guilmon finally made his choice.
Gillmon, in my opinion, picked an exquisite 3-piece suit, complete with a black jacket and pants, with a gray vest. To complete the ensemble, he chose a black top hat and a monocle, which he really didn't need.
"Well, there goes my paycheck from work," Takato said, a fly slowly flying its way out of his empty wallet. His glance shifted to Guilmon, who admired himself in a nearby mirror. "At least they aren't fighting anymore."
"I know what you mean," Lee said. He placed his empty wallet in his pocket, turning toward Takato. "What are we going to do now?"
"I guess we should find Ruki and Renamon. I mean, it's the right thing to do, wouldn't it?"
Lee looked at Takato queerly. "How would you know that?"
Takato pulled a thick book out of his pocket. "I managed to snatch the script from the author when he wasn't looking! Look!" Takato flipped a couple of pages and pointed at a couple of paragraphs.
Lee looked at the paragraphs and said, "Hey! That's the previous scene!!"
Takato smiled happily. "Yep! And look at this!" Takato flipped a couple of pages forward and pointed at the beginning of a new scene. "Take a quick read."
Lee read the first few paragraphs quietly. "He doesn't sell sherbet? What kind of ice cream vendors is Japan training nowadays?" He perused the script further on until he spied a certain line that didn't seem right. "Hey Takato? Read this line right here. It doesn't right."
"Let's see…'Suddenly, the pilfered script spontaneously combusted in the hands of Lee. The flames didn't harm Lee, but instead leapt upon Takato's hair, causing him to run in circles, crying bloody murder.'" Some time passed, and nothing happened to the script, Takato, or Lee. Takato shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess not everything in here is accurate."
Suddenly, the pilfered script spontaneously combusted in the hands of Lee. The flames didn't harm Lee, but instead leapt upon Takato's hair, causing him to run in circles, crying bloody murder. Lee stared at the screaming Takato, at a lack of nothing what to do. A slip of paper floated into his view, and quickly grabbing it, read it just as fast. He shrugged his shoulders at what was written on the paper and threw it away. He then picked a small bag of sand conveniently placed near him and smashed it on Takato's head, effectively putting out the flames. Of course, the same action nearly knocked out Takato.
"What was that all about?!" Takato yelled, a large lump rivaling the size of Rockna's after the Rockna vs. Holyfield fight growing on his head.
"A piece of paper told me to do it." Lee explained coolly. The suspect piece of paper suddenly exploded, scaring both Takato and Lee.
* * * * * * * *
"What should I give to Renamon?" Galgomon wondered to himself. He looked inside his pockets, and found no money. His eyes looked all over the place, until he saw the perfect present. He first snuck up carefully to the window of a first floor apartment, to not warrant any unwanted suspicion. Then, when he was convinced that the coast was clear, he snatched up the window flower box, laughing like a maniac. Guilmon first heard his maniacal laugh and saw Galgomon charging down the street.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Guilmon shouted, fixing his top hat on the top of his head.
"*I* am going to get Renamon, and there's nothing you can do about it! So there!" Galgomon shouted. With that, he stuck out his tongue and pulled down his lower eyelid.
Guilmon, not to be outdone by a gun toting, flower box - stealing thief, started his search for a gift. He then dashed inside of the pet store, knowing exactly what he would get. Minutes later, he dashed back out… with a tank full of exotic fish in his hands.
"Hey! Come back here, you… thing!" the owner shouted. He picked up his broom and chased after Guilmon, swiping at the air wildly. Guilmon managed to stay ahead of the store - owner, despite the weight he was carrying.
"Guilmon!" Takato shouted. "You can't do that! You're stealing!"
Guilmon stopped, and then stooped suddenly, causing the still running owner to flip over his back and collide into the nearest wall. Guilmon simply shrugged his shoulders as he set the tank down on the floor. He then emptied the contents of the container into to his top hat, and continued to run to look for Renamon. Lee and Takato looked at the whole thing with wide, surprised eyes.
"Lee? Can you make a promise?" Takato asked, still dazed by what he had just seen.
"Yeah. What is it?" Lee responded, stunned by what he just saw.
"When this is all over, let's get some new digimon. Ones that aren't insane."
"You took the words out of my mouth."
* * * * * * * *
"Hold still girl!" a Bakemon demanded. Ruki sneered, and spat in the face of her capturer. The Bakemon wiped the slobber off his pale face with his long arm. "Hey, can we just eat her? She's a little scrawny, but with a little garlic, we could have one heck of a meal!"
"No, you idiot!" the digimon in charge shouted. He slapped both of the Bakemon on the skull.
"But sir, I know an excellent recipe for cooking Tamers!" the other Bakemon added.
"I don't care you dolt!"
"But, we can skew her, boil her, fry her, fricassee her, smoke her, and BBQ her!" one of the Bakemon started.
"Oh yeah! We could also dice, slice, mince, chop, blend, sauté, puree, and bake her! Or we could even make ice cream out of her!" the other Bakemon finished.
"How about Tamers and Cream?"
"Tamer Parmesan?"
"Glazed Tamer with a hint of cinnamon and ginger?"
"Oh that's a favorite of mine!"
The digimon in charge simple snarled in response, veins popping up all over his forehead. "If you two don't stop swapping recipes, I'll cook the both of you!" was his angry reply. "Now get back to your job of guarding that girl!" The frightened Bakemon nodded their heads and went back to guarding Ruki.
Ruki said nothing; silently undoing the ropes the Bakemon tied her up in. She finally loosened the last knot, and the ropes around her wrists fell off. She massaged her sore wrists, and went to work on the ropes on her feet. The ropes finally fell off, and she massaged her sore ankles. Now all I need is for this bus to slow down so I can escape! She thought to herself. Luckily, the bus the group was upon decided to finally slow down.
"Bye suckers!" Ruki shouted. She leapt off the bus and dashed away. The two Bakemon looked at Ruki's running form in amazement.
"That's one great sprinting form!"
"Wonder if she can teach me how to sprint like that?"
Once again, the shadowed digimon shouted at his hired help. "Numbskulls! Go after her! I swear, this is the last time I use the Digimon Summoning Service…" The two Bakemon floated off the bus and chased after Ruki.
"Leave me alone! Just go somewhere else!" Ruki complained. She took a sharp left, and quickly scaled a wire fence. The Bakemon also took a sharp left and quickly floated over the wire fence. Ruki looked over her shoulder and cursed silently to herself. Why won't they just go away!? She asked herself. She turned up the speed, and sprang over a garbage can, but in her haste, knocked it and herself down. She again cursed, but not silently or to herself. She looked behind her to see two Bakemon coming after her at full speed. Just when the both of them were close enough to grab her… they both tripped over the garbage can that Ruki knocked over. Ruki blinked in amazement, then stood up and ran away.
The shadowed digimon walked up to the digimon he hired, and whacked them both on the head. "Just watch a girl! How hard can that be?"
"Not hard, not hard at all sir," the Bakemon replied fearfully.
"Then how come she got away?"
"We're incompetent idiots?"
"Damn straight! Now come on, we got to follow her! To the ******mobile!
"Don't you mean the back of the bus?"
"…Yeah…"
* * * * * * * *
Lee, Takato, Galgomon, and a now fishless Guilmon continued their trek across the town, still searching for Renamon. After returning the fish to an extremely hurt and angry owner, the group decided the best thing to do was to go back to the park, and try and plan something. While Takato and Lee somehow found money and went to buy ice cream for everyone, Guilmon decided to let Galgomon visit his "home" away from home.
"What kind of home is this?! This looks more like a cheap hole than a home!" Galgomon exclaimed. His large frame barely fit inside the hole, and that was when he was bent over.
"This? Oh, this isn't my home. This is something to fool Takato and the other humans. This…" Guilmon started, using the ever - dramatic pause, "is my home." Guilmon carefully dusted off part of the earth, revealing a button. Guilmon pushed the said button, smiling triumphantly. Suddenly, the earth began tremble, just slightly however. The next thing Galgomon knew, the floor opened, swallowed them whole, and they fell. Luckily, the fall was a short one, and the two digimon landed into EZ boy recliner chairs.
"Um… Guilmon? What's going on?" Galgomon asked in a timid, frightened voice.
Guilmon simply responded by reaching in between the chairs, into a cooler. He pulled out two ice cold root beers, and tossed one to Galgomon. "Welcome to the ultimate bachelor pad!" He then pulled out a remote control and turned a 90' inch big screen television, complete with 50' inch woofers and a satellite dish.
"Cool."
* * * * * * * *
"Okay kids! What do you want?" the ice cream man asked. "We have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, fudge, banana, pineapple, cookies and cream, peaches and cream, peaches, apples, rocky road-"
"You wouldn't happen to have sherbet, would you?" Lee asked.
The ice cream looked at Lee like he was a nutcase. "Listen kid. You can take your freaky flavors somewhere else, like Baskin Robbins or something. I only carry normal flavors."
"Uh… okay. We'll have four cones, one with chocolate, one with vanilla, one with cookies and cream, and one with rocky road," Takato said quickly. He paid the guy and took their cones, dragging a PO'ed Lee with him.
"What kind of guy doesn't carry sherbet!?! He's the freak, not me…" Lee muttered to himself.
"Hey, real freak, that guy," Takato said quickly. He handed the vanilla and rocky road cone to Lee. "Here's your cone."
"Takato? Are you okay? You're acting weird, more than usual," Lee said, licking his vanilla cone.
"I know. I have this weird feeling of impending doom, like the end of the world is coming, know what I mean? I wonder what it could mean."
"Well, I have the same feeling whenever my sister wants to play house, and forces me to be the baby."
"Takato? Is that you?" a voice suddenly asked. Takato froze in his spot, goose bumps running up and down his spine.
"Lee, please tell me it isn't her. Just please tell me that."
"Okay, I won't. But your girlfriend's coming."
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"Hi Takato! Hi Lee! How's it going?" Juri asked. She walked up to the two and smiled. "Today's a nice day, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it is. Hey Lee, take this cone and give it to my friend Guile okay?" Takato asked, giving the cone to Lee and pushing him out of the way.
"Who's Guile? I never met him before," Juri said. "Does he go to our school?"
"Uh no! He's… uh, my pen pal! Yeah! My pen pal from… uh, Czechoslovakia!" Takato lied. Juri gave him a weird stare, which caused Takato to sweat nervously and blink rapidly.
"Okay, I guess. I was looking for you all over the place! Where were you all day?"
"Oh, I was showing Guile all over town you know, since he's never been here."
"That's a nice thing to do Takato. That's what I like about you!"
"Oh… I'm glad. Hey, uh, do you want a cone?"
"No, I'm not in a mood. Anyway, your mom said that we can relax on Monday because she's closing early."
"Why's that?"
"Something about a doctor's appointment."
"Oh, I see."
"Well, see you later Takato. Hope you get a chance to introduce me to Guile."
"Who?"
"Your pen pal? From Czechoslovakia?"
"Oh yeah! Him! That Guile! Well, I'll try to. Bye Juri."
Juri started to leave, but then turned around angrily. "Takato! I can't believe you!"
Takato jumped back in surprise. "What? What did I do?"
"Now you don't know what you did wrong? I really though better of you!"
Now Takato was really getting scared. He wasn't used to seeing Juri angry, and now it was scaring the hell out of him! "Could you please tell me what I did wrong?"
"You forgot to say goodbye to my Mrs. Hanky!" Juri yelled, pulling out our favorite sock puppet. She began to thrust it full in Takato's face. "You hurt her feelings!"
Takato sweat dropped. "I'm sorry Mrs. Hanky," Takato said, slightly scared. He gave at the sock puppet a slight, polite bow. "I'm sorry that I forgot to say goodbye to you." He looked at Juri. "Is that good enough?"
Juri looked at her sock puppet, who looked at her. She moved it close to her ear, and made it talk. She nodded her head and moved it back to her side. "Mrs. Hanky says that was good, but not enough. She's says you have to kiss her!"
Takato sweat dropped again, with 20% more sweat drops. "A-are you sure that she said that?" he asked nervously.
Juri nodded her head furiously. "I'm sure! She says that's the only way she'll be sure that you're sorry!"
Takato paled considerably. He took a big gulp, and sighed loudly. "Okay. I'll… kiss… Mrs. Hanky," He conceded. He moved forward and gave the sock puppet a small peck on the head. Juri and her sock puppet gave Takato a look of disgust.
"Takato! My grandmother gives better kisses, and she's 10 times older than you! Give Mrs. Hanky a real kiss!" Juri commanded, thrusting the puppet in Takato's face. Takato paled again and hanged his head in defeat.
"I'll try again… to give… Mrs. Hanky… a better… kiss." Takato looked around, to make sure no one he knew was around. Then, Juri practically shoved the puppet down Takato's throat, pretending that the two of them were kissing passionately. Takato practically choked to death, what with an orange sock being shoved down his poor little throat. Several minutes, Mrs. Hanky decided enough was enough, and stopped the kiss, allowing Takato to appreciate oxygen again.
"Mrs. Hanky says that's enough. See you tomorrow Takato!" Juri cheerfully told Takato, and left the scene. Takato simply laid on the floor, trying to get back his breath. Lee enters the scene with a sly grin on his face.
"Takato you dog! Never knew you had it in you!" he said playfully elbowing Takato in the ribs. "I thought you weren't going to let Juri breath for a while!"
Takato was about to tell Lee what really happened, but decided not to. Why should Lee know what really happened? Then again, why should he think that he was kissing Juri?
"What's with the blushing face Takato?" Lee taunted.
"Shut up Zenyra," Takato responded.
"Geez, touchy. I was just kidding. C'mon, let's get back to our digimon."
* * * * * * * *
"You know, I never would thought that we could become the best of friends," Galgomon said, his speech heavily slurred. He picked up his umpteenth bottle of root beer and guzzled it down. "You know, you hitting on my girl and all."
Guilmon, his eyes red from all the root beer, hiccupped. "Yeah. I always thought that pink elephant over there would be my friend, but he's a bum!" Guilmon tossed his half empty bottle at where he thought a pink elephant was, where it actually hit a wall. "See? He wouldn't even take my bottle! He's not a good friend!"
"Know what? Let's make up a pact that nothing will ever separate our friendship! Nothing at all!" Guilmon bellowed. He tried to stand up from his chair, but slumped back down in a drunken stupor.
"Not even Renamon?"
"No! Not even Renamon!"
All of a sudden, an alarm starting blaring in Guilmon's house. Guilmon walked to a computer built inside the wall, and pressed a series of buttons. On the screen, a picture of Takato and Lee popped up.
"Hey Galgomon! C'mon! We have to go!" Guilmon shouted. "Takatomon and Lee are outside!" The two of them staggered to a hidden elevator, which carried back to them to the top floor, which is the home that everyone else sees.
"Hey Galgomon! Guilmon! We got you guys ice cream cones!" Takato shouted cheerfully as he gave the digimon. They both cheered and ate the cones in one bite, resulting in immediate brain freezing.
"Hey Lee, I just noticed something. Galgomon's been Galgomon since the beginning of this story! Shouldn't he have dedigivolved already?" Takato said.
"Hey, you're right! Galgomon, you know what time it is!" Lee shouted.
"Time to eat?" Galgomon asked hopefully.
"No! Time to train and burn off that excess energy!" Lee yelled. Taking out his CD played and a couple CDs, he began to search for the perfect song to train to. "Let's see… Melodies of Life, You're Not Alone, Mystery Sword, The Dark Messenger, Brave Heart, The Biggest Dreamer, Bokura no Digital World, Beat Hit!… ah-ha! I've found it! The perfect song to train to!" Lee put the CD in his CD player and pressed play.
Mon, Mon, Digimon
Digi, Mon, Mon
Mon, Mon, Digimon
Digi, Mon, Mon
"Lee, I hate this song!" Galgomon exclaimed.
"But I like it! So be quiet and start training!" Lee responded, placing headphones on himself and Galgomon. Both Lee and Galgomon then sprang into their calisthenics, in tune with the music.
While Galgomon and Lee grooved to the digi tunes, Guilmon and Takato had bigger problems on their hands… and paws.
"Ruki! Are you alright?" a concerned Takato asked. It seems that Ruki had just entered the scene, and wasn't looking all that great. "What happened?"
Still out of breath, Ruki was only able to make out a few words. "They're… coming… trying… to…"
"Trying what? Trying to do what?" Takato yelled.
"Trying to make all of you miserable, you goggle headed dip!" the shadowed digimon shouted, hiding in the shadows of the trees, where he stayed hidden. The two Bakemon floated down from the trees. Before Takato and Guilmon could react, the Bakemon used their Dark Claw attack to attack them. They then grabbed Ruki and forced her to her knees. Just when everything seemed to be going downhill, a shadow flashed over the bodies of the Bakemon and Ruki. The Bakemon looked upwards in surprise, only to have their faces smashed in by the feet of…
"Renamon!" Ruki exclaimed. Renamon landed gracefully, the bodies of the Bakemon collapsing to the floor, releasing their grip on Ruki. Ruki got to her feet and glared at her digimon. "Why didn't you get home quicker?" she asked, or rather yelled. Renamon, her hands akimbo, simply said she was busy. Ruki, furious at the answer, was ready to fire back, but noticed something different about her partner digimon.
"Hey Renamon, there's something different about you," Ruki astutely noticed. "Like, you went through a change or something." Renamon gave herself a quick look over and shook her head. "No, really, something's different about you," Ruki insisted, walking closer to her digimon. She looked at Renamon's hands and gasped loudly. "Your hands!"
Renamon gazed at her hand briefly. "What about my hands?"
"You got a manicure!" Ruki yelled, pointing at the well – filed nails on Renamon's hands. Renamon blushed slightly and turned her head to the side. "And your feet! A pedicure! Renamon, how could you?" Ruki practically screamed. She glowered at her partner's face and gave another horrific gasp. "You're using mascara?! How could you do this to me Renamon? You're supposed to be a fighting machine of death! Not some… some… Barbie girl!" Ruki sputtered out, her anger getting the better of her. "Where did all of this happen?!"
"Hey Renamon!" Terriermon interjected. Flapping his gigantic ears, he circled close by Renamon's head. He sniffed in deeply as he sped by her face and said, "Hey! Did you know you smell like strawberries?" Renamon, slightly miffed with what Ruki had just told her, swatted him aside lightly, and started to walk away. As soon as she turned, a pair of arms wrapped around her leg.
"Renamon! Where ya been?" Guilmon asked. Renamon lifted up her leg and gave it a fierce shake, and after twenty minutes, Guilmon finally plopped off.
"Ahem," a voice politely coughed. The heads of all three Tamers and their digimon turned toward the voice, which came from the trees. Our mystery digimon stood on a limb ever so politely, waiting for complete silence. "Since when did we forget about me!?" he asked at the top of his voice.
"Who's that?" Takato asked.
"Beats me," Lee replied.
"I don't know either. It's some digimon that tried to kidnap me earlier!" Ruki yelled. Renamon glared at the digimon.
The shadowed digimon simply scoffed in response. "Yeah I did! But now I have bigger plans!" He leapt down from the limb, expecting his loyal shadow to follow him. Unfortunately for him, it didn't. It just stayed there on the limb. "Damn! This is the last time I steal something from Acme!" he shouted.
Guilmon and Terriermon at the unknown digimon. His body was a dark purple, except for his face, which was white. His green eyes flashed with mischievous impishness as he adjusted the red gloves on his hands. He smoothed out his long, rabbit like ears, and adjusted the red bandana around his neck, which was just above a tattooed picture of a smiley face. At first, Guilmon and Terriermon said nothing, completely speechless. Then the both of them laughed out loud, unable to conceal it inside.
"Terriermon! He… he… he has a smiley face!" Guilmon laughed, pounding the floor with his claw. He rolled around the floor, almost choking in his mirth. Soon, everyone was laughing at our poor mysterious digimon, well, except for Ruki and Renamon.
"You're the last ones who should laugh at me, you stupid pets!" the digimon spat vehemently. This immediately made everyone shut up. "At least I'm not led around like a dog with a leash!" He defiantly stared at the group, staring at each individual slowly. "You should all be ashamed of…" He stopped, his gaze falling on Renamon. A circle of large, pink hearts ringed around his face as his frown changed into a goofy grin.
"My lady," he said, rushing by Renamon's side. He looked up to Renamon, who completely towered over him. "My very tall lady, may I have the honor of knowing your name?" He picked up her paw in his hand, and softly kissed it. Renamon looked at him in disgust and slapped him on the head.
"Hey buddy, stay away from our girl!" Guilmon shouted. Terriermon and Guilmon leapt in front of Renamon, completely blocking her from view. "If you want to see her, you have get past us!" Terriermon continued.
The digimon chuckled. "No problem with that." He raised his index finger in the air and called out, "Night of Fire!" A reddish orb formed at his fingertip and started to grow. He then tossed it toward a confused Guilmon and Terriermon. The attack exploded in front of their faces, rendering them both knocked out.
"I'm sorry my lady, but that was something that I needed to handle. Now, let us start this introduction properly. I am the great, the mighty, the one and only Impmon." He gave a little bow. "Now, my beautiful lady, may I know your name?"
Renamon pushed Impmon roughly, causing him to crash to the floor. "No, you may not know my name, and no, you may not kiss me on the hand. Got it?"
Impmon looked up at her slightly hurt, then busted out another grin. "Playing hard to get I see. No matter, I have the perfect solution for that!" He snapped his fingers, and out of the sky, another set of Bakemon appeared. They snatched up Ruki from the air, and hauled her up to where they were. Renamon looked to where her partner was, and then glowered at Impmon, slitting her eyes with anger.
"Bring her down now!" she shouted. She grabbed Impmon by the collar and shook him violently. "If you value your life at all, you'll bring her down!"
Impmon grinned again. "You're a feisty one, aren't you? Just how I like them! I could let her down, just like you asked." He glanced at Bakemon and gave them a nod. Both of the Bakemon released their grip on Ruki, letting her plummet toward the earth. Ruki gave an ear – splitting scream and closed her eyes in fear. Just as she was about to collide with the earth, her fall stopped. The gangly, repulsive arms of the Bakemon grabbed her legs and pulled her back in the air where they were.
"Of course I let her down, but it'd cause such a big mess. You wouldn't want that, would you?" Impmon laughed again. "Then again…"
"Then again what?" Renamon spat. She gave Impmon a rougher shake. "What? What?!"
"Then again, I could let her go, in a way that wouldn't cause such a problem. I could only do that, if you decide to go with me," he said evilly.
"Renamon! Don't listen to him! He's just trying to mess with your head!" Ruki shouted. "Don't listen to him at all!"
Impmon sneered at Ruki, then gave one of the Bakemon a nod. The Bakemon released his grip on one of Ruki's leg, leaving her to hang on one leg.
"Now, if he happened to lose his grip, I wonder what would happen? Of course, we don't have to worry about that, if you decide to leave with me."
Renamon looked at Ruki, who still hanged precariously in the hand of the Bakemon. She then looked at Impmon, who still had an evil grin on his face. She hanged her head, and slowly nodded yes.
"Renamon, what are you doing!? I told to you not to listen to him!" Ruki shouted. "He's full of crap!"
Impmon turned back to Ruki, and gave her another ugly sneer. "Who are you to decide what she does? She has her own thoughts, and doesn't need you messing with her thoughts!"
"Hey, shut up! You think you're so big, but you're nothing! You need other digimon to do your dirty work for you!" Ruki countered.
"I might say the same for you!" Impmon responded. "Now," he said sweetly, extending his arm to Renamon, "let's go." Renamon shook her head.
"Not yet. Keep your promise, and let her down."
"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot to let her down," He snapped his finger, and the Bakemon floated silently to the floor, and plopped Ruki down. "I am a mon of my word."
"Digimon! As your Tamer, I command you to stop!" Ruki shouted. She struggled against the pair of Bakemon in her path. "Digimon! Do not ignore me!"
Renamon stopped in her walk and turned toward Ruki. "You know my name. Use it well," she muttered. She put her arm in Impmon's and continued walking.
"Renamon! Renamon, don't go with him! Believe me, he's nothing but trouble! Renamon!" Finally, hoarse from her yelling, eyes watering, and head pounding, Ruki whispered:
"Renamon."
Huh. I wonder what made you guys think I was going to stop at this? Never that my readers!! A chapter or two I plan to get out before this finishes. Oh well. A new chapter will be coming out no time soon. Sorry to disappoint you guys (and girls…and animals…and creatures…oh you get the picture). This'll hold you over for some time hopefully.
