Chapter 2

Calumon merrily walked through the park, humming a simple tune. Suddenly, something caught the little digimon's eye.
And there he saw him. Impmon, sitting in a tree branch, an odd purple swelling around his eye.
"Impmon?"
Impmon looked down and frowned. "Waddaya want?"
Calumon blinked. "What's wrong with your eye?"
Impmon cursed silently. "Don't ask..."

Takato Matsuki opened the door to Guilmon's house, carrying a bag of bread underneath his arm. "Hey boy," he said, "brought some food for ya."
Guilmon emerged from the tunnel dug in the back wall of his house. "Good, I was getting hungry..." Guilmon said.
The first thing Takato noticed was the peculiar aroma that appeared to be coming from his digimon. The boy wrinkled his nose. "Guilmon.. wha.. what's that smell? It's not you is it?"
Guilmon chuckled nervously. "Uhm.. yeah," he said, taking out a piece of bread. He stuffed it into his mouth, chewing on it noisily.
"Well, why do you smell like that?" Takato asked, raising an eyebrow. "Come on, I've told you to stay clean.. and lord's sake, look at you! You're covered in dirt!"
"Heh," Guilmon said, swallowing his mouthful. "Uhm... err.. I did it because Impmon told me to..."
Takato sighed experatedly. "That explains it. Guilmon, I told you, don't listen to Impmon. Though, after what happened last time, I can't figure out why you would..."
Guilmon swallowed another piece of bread. "Errr.. I was trying to impress someone... but Impmon kinda tricked me."
"By covering yourself in dirt and smelling like a dumpster?" Takato asked. "And who would you be trying to impress?"
"Renamon."
Takato was silent.
"Don't worry Takato," Guilmon said. "I'll never listen to Impmon again." The red dinosaur smiled.
"Renamon?" Takato said abruptly, ignoring what his partner had just said. "Why would you be trying to impress Renamon?"
Guilmon laughed nervously, and then spoke.
"I.. like her Takato. And I she likes me too.."
Several seconds later, Takato Matsuki fell over.

Renamon sighed as she sat on the top of the roof of the Nonaka household. She stared up at the moon, troubled thoughts running through her mind.
He was so.. differant from her. Child-like. Innocent. While she... well, Renamon's heart was cold. While not emotionless, the fox digimon had a hard time expressing affection towards anyone, even her partner.
And yet, she had managed to fall for the most unlikely of digimon...
And she had no idea how to act on her feelings...
She heard Rika emerge from the house and onto the back porch below. Sighing, Renamon jumped down to greet her.
"Rika," Renamon said. "How are you this evening."
Rika nodded to her. "I'm just fine... what about you."
Renamon sighed. "To be truthful, I'm feeling troubled. Forgive me if I'm not comfortable discussing it..."
Rika nodded, sitting down. "Heh, I know what that's like... but if you need anyone to talk to..."
Renamon shook her head. "No offense... but.. this is a matter where I don't think you'd be of assistance to me with. It's about something neither of us are too keen on..."
"... I see..." Rika replied.
An eerie silence followed.
Renamon decided to break it.
"Rika... what do you think about Takato?"
"Heh," Rika said, "I've actually started to like him. You know, I never took the time to give him or Henry a chance. Being to caught up in myself and being a tamer and all..."
"Yes," Renamon said. "You can... find out suprising things about people once you get to know them..."
"Renamon, what's this about...?"
Renamon turned away. "Rika... this may seem odd, but.. I've fallen in love with Guilmon..."
There's that eerie silence again...
Renamon turned around... and saw Rika staring at her wide-eyed. "Uhm.. Rika...?" the fox asked.
"..... Guilmon?!"
Renamon nodded.
"Whoah.." Rika replied. "I.. uhm.. I didn't think he was your type, Renamon."
"I didn't think so either..."
"Well.. I don't know what advice to give you Renamon.. just don't keep your feelings bottled up inside. Act on it.. or do something about them.. I know what it's like to do that."
Renamon nodded. "I know... Rika... I'm going to go. To collect my thoughts..."
Rika nodded. With that, Renamon faded away.

It was several hours later. Renamon stood at the base of the stairs leading up to Guilmon's home.
... she had no idea how to say what she wanted to say...
Sighing, she walked up the staircase slowly. She looked in through the bars, to find Guilmon asleep inside. Quietly, she opened the door, and walked over to wake him.
With a grunt, Guilmon woke up. "Wha..?" he said. His eyes lit up when he saw who was there. "Renamon!" he cried joyously.
Renamon replied quietly, "Uhm.. hello Guilmon..."
"I.. I've been wanting to talk to you," Guilmon said, "about what happened earlier."
Renamon nodded. "Me too.. listen, Guilmon..."
"Yes?"
Renamon looked down. "This.. us.. it wouldn't work..."
Guilmon's eyes widened. "What..?"
Renamon sighed, and turned away from him. "We're too differant Guilmon.. and.. I don't know how to love..."
"Wait.. I don't understand," Guilmon said, placing a paw on her shoulder.
"I know," Renamon said. "That's why I'm so sorry I had to do this... goodbye Guilmon."
Then, she walked away, fading into the darkness.
"Wait!" Guilmon yelled. "Please.. if I did something wrong... Renamon! Renamon?!"
But there was no answer.
Sighing, the little digimon crawled into a corner, placed his paws over his head, and cried.

Several days passed. Guilmon did all he knew how to do, carry on like he always had. But still, the little red digimon couldn't help but think about Renamon.
Renamon was much the same. But unlike Guilmon, she was better at hiding it...
Then came the battle with the devas Vajramon and Pajiramon. Rapidmon, Terriermon's ultimate form, digivolved to defeat them. Or so it was believed.
Vajramon reappeared, confronting Rika and Renamon. And, to the suprise of Rika, and virtually everyone else, Renamon left with him.
A couple days went by. He didn't show it to anyone else, but Guilmon was sick with worry. He imagined Renamon's partner was probably feeling the same way.
At last, Vajramon and Renamon reappeared. The other tamers and Rika rushed to assist her and Rika, and together they battled Vajramon. Only when Kyubimon digivolved to ultimate was the deva struck down...
Growlmon found himself staring at the ultimate, even after she defeated her enemy.
She was radiant. Renamon always was.

It was an hour or so after the battle. Renamon stood silently on a hill-top, looking up at the sky...
Slowly, her thoughts
-//Ever wonder what they call those sparkly dots up there? I mean, I see them all the time, and I have no clue what they are. Do you know?\\-
Heh. That had happened a month or so before... it was the first time she'd really gotten to know Guilmon.
... She could be honest with Rika, but not to herself. Or him.
"You said they were called stars..."
Renamon turned, and saw Guilmon behind her.
He smiled up at her. "Heh, after Takato left me at my house, I decided to go for a walk. I didn't know I'd meet you out here..."
".... hello Guilmon."
"Hi Renamon. Can I talk to ya..?"
Renamon looked away. "Depends about what..."
Guilmon walked up the hill, and stood beside her. "I'm glad to know you're alright. You were really great today."
"Yeah..? Well, thanks."
"I was worried... so was everyone else."
"I can imagine why... I'm sorry I made.. everyone worry."
"It's ok... you had your reasons."
"Well.. other than worrying, how've you been doing?" Renamon asked. "We've.. not had the chance to talk."
"Well..."
"Yes?"
"I... Renamon, I've missed you..."
Renamon looked at him, staring into the red digimon's yellow eyes. Eyes that sometimes had the look of a wild animal, and some times had the look of a caring soul...
"... Guilmon... listen..."
Guilmon interrupted her. "Listen Renamon. I'm not very smart, and I may not have known what this love thing was called before, but I can feel it. And... just because I didn't know all about it didn't stop me from doing it."
Slowly, Renamon nodded. "I.. was just.. unsure Guilmon..."
He placed his paw on hers.
"... Do.. you you feel like I do Renamon? If you do, that's all you need to do.."
"I know..."
Guilmon smiled, and hugged Renamon tightly. She was suprised at first, and returned the embrace. Neither said a word.
Not too far away, a small figure sat in a tree, watching.
"Yuck," Impmon stated.

THE END

... oo Yeah! Heh. ^^ That's the conclusion to my first multi-chapter story and stuff. I didn't know if I should continue, but I did, partly cuz I wanted more people to review my story, and more cuz I still thought I could do more with da story...

Aw heck, I like getting reviews. oo;; Is there any shame in that?

BTW, there was a referance in this chapter to one of my other stories, "Connecting". Yeah, that story and this one are tied in now. Hehe...

Later.
