Rika, my friend
Author's Note: I wasn't really happy with the first version of this story, but I didn't want to remove it from fanfiction.net because I would lose all of my reviews. That's why I made this second version. I hope that this one is better than the first version, but it's all up to those of you who read it to Judge it's quality.

Renamon was feeling quite pleased with herself, two nights ago, she finally succeeded in digivolving to Kyubimon, just as Rika had always wanted her to. Rika was also quite pleased with Renamon's newest ability. But then, Rika wanted more from her; she wanted Renamon to become even stronger than she was now. The training Renamon had to go through, increased in difficulty to being twice as tough.
Renamon did her best to follow through, but even she could only do so much. But not once did she complain, she wanted Rika to be happy, like she was the other night when she became Kyubimon, and that convinced her to continue.
But now Renamon was tired, she had been exercising for most of the day, and now it was very late, Rika had gone to bed an hour ago. And that was exactly what Renamon needed now, sleep. "I've exercised enough tonight, I need to get some sleep, even Rika knows I have to rest," Renamon said to herself. She disappeared from view, and reappeared in Rika's room.
Rika was asleep on her bed, curled up in the fetal position. She shivered; the weather was becoming cooler as the season was changing to Winter, and she was only using a sheet to cover up with. "She really needs to cover up better at night, a flannel sheet just won't work," Renamon thought. She walked over to the closet and pulled out a thick comforter, "perfect." She walked back over to Rika and pulled it over her. Rika soon stopped shivering and smiled a little as she stretched out. Renamon smiled and rested on the floor next to Rika. Evan on the wooden floor it felt so good for her to rest her tired and aching muscles. Training for hours, sometimes twelve each day made them hurt, but she had to push beyond the pain, for Rika.
And Renamon knew that she would have to train even harder than before, she would do anything to make Rika happy. "One day Rika," Renamon whispered, "all of this training, all of this pain, will be worth it, I will make you happy, and I will become the strongest digimon that the world has ever known." Renamon stretched out and yawned before falling asleep.
For hours, Renamon was in a deep sleep; even her soar muscles couldn't keep her from resting. But then, her keen sense of hearing alerted her of something and she woke up. "What now, it can't be a digimon bio emerging or else Rika's digivice would be going crazy," Renamon thought.
And then she heard the same noise again; it was a whimper from Rika. "Her grandmother's cooking again, it must be," she thought a sniffed her breath, besides the scent of the minty toothpaste that Rika used every night, Renamon could smell tofu, liver, and tuna fish, she held her nose in disgust. "Eck, no wonder she's having a nightmare," she thought, whenever her grandmother made it Rika had nightmares. Rika was no longer whimpering, instead, she sounded like she was crying.
"I'd better wake her up before her nightmare gets any worse." Renamon got up on her knees, placed both hands on her shoulders, and gently shook her. "Rika, Rika, wake up," Renamon whispered, but it only seemed to make Rika even more upset. "This is going to be tough. Come on Rika wake up," Renamon said, a little louder and more forceful. Eventually Renamon had succeeded and made Rika wake up, she bolted up in bed and gasped for air.
"Rika, are you okay," Renamon asked her. Rika looked at her for a few seconds, and then she burst into tears and hugged Renamon tightly. "Oh Renamon," she cried, her voice was no longer the same calm and uncaring one she always talked in, it was the scared, frightened one of a little girl.
Renamon gently wrapped her arms around Rika and held her close. "What's wrong Rika, your grandmother's cooking give you a nightmare again," Renamon asked her. Rika looked up at Renamon with her tear filled eyes, she tried to say something, but she just cried even more and buried her face in the bushy fur of her chest.
"Calm down Rika," Renamon told her and stroked her back, "just tell me what's wrong." Rika tried to calm down, but it didn't work, she just cried even harder, her tears dampening Renamon's fur even more. After several minutes Renamon finally managed to get Rika calmed down a little. "Just relax Rika, tell me what's wrong," Renamon told her. Rika gasped a few times before she was finally able to speak.
"I-I-I dreamt that after all the training that you've gone through, y-y-you finally became the s-s-strongest digimon anyone ever knew. A-a-and then a-a-a digimon bio emerged. Y-y-you digivolved to Kyubimon, and fought with all of your strength, b-b-but he was just too strong. N-no matter what modify card I used, h-h-he still beat us, a-and he destroyed you. Y-you were being deleted slowly, and you gave me a look and told me you were s-s-sorry for losing, b-b-because the only thing you wanted to do was make me happy...b-because you loved me," she managed to say, just before bursting into tears once again.
Rika's breathing became quick and panicky, like she was trying her hardest not to vomit. Renamon disappeared momentarily and came back with a bottle of water and gave it to Rika. Rika gulped down some of the water, trying to calm herself down. It helped a little, but not much.
Renamon tried to help Rika calm back down, but without much luck. She held Rika close to her and stroked her back, starting at the top of her head, feeling her soft, silky hair as she went down her back. Renamon finally decided to just let Rika cry, letting her get it out of her system.
And after several minutes of this, Rika finally calmed down again. "Rika, just relax, listen. I would never lose a battle to another digimon, I always win and I will continue to become stronger, and stronger," Renamon told her. "I know, b-but that dream made me realize something. I've been such a bitch, for treating you so bad," Rika told her. "Rika, you are no such thing," she told her. "Yes I am, I've been a bitch for treating you like a weapon instead of a living creature, I'm so sorry Renamon," Rika told her. "Rika, I don't blame you, I understood that you wanted me to become stronger. At some point, I wanted to become stronger as well, just as much as you wanted me to," Renamon told her.
Rika tried to stand up; Renamon helped her do so. Her legs shook as she walked over to her dresser and picked up her digivice, clutching it tightly. "Renamon, I could never apologize enough to putting you through what I've done. I don't even understand why you've stayed with me," Rika told her, she walked back over to Renamon, took her hand, and placed the digivice in it. "You probably hate me now. If you want to leave, I don't blame you. Give this to whoever you pick as a new tamer, somebody who really deserves it, somebody who's kinder than I am," Rika told her.
"Rika, I don't hate you, and I will never leave you. You are my tamer; you are the one I chose, not anybody else," Renamon said and set the digivice back on the dresser. "But why? I've been so mean to you, how could you stand to stay with me," Rika asked her. "I stayed with you, because I cared for you Rika. You're the only friend I ever had. For a while, I questioned if you cared for me. But the other night, when you held me in your arms when Dokugumon nearly destroyed me, you cared enough to make me digivolve. Then, I knew that you really, truly cared for me," Renamon told her.
"E-even after everything I did to you, the way I treated you, I treated you like a slave, and you still considered me a friend," Rika asked. "Yes Rika, I could sense there was a kinder side to you, that was the part of you the cared for me. And then I knew that I had truly found the person I was looking for," Renamon told her.
Rika didn't know what to say to Renamon, she wanted to say how much she cared for her, how sorry she was for being so mean, but she couldn't, she could only say, "Oh Renamon," and then started crying again.
Renamon put her arms around Rika and held her close. "It's allright Rika, I forgave you a long time ago. Please don't cry," Renamon told her. "I'm sorry she choked out and tried to dry her eyes. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. It's late now; you need your rest, we can talk tomorrow," Renamon said and swept her off her feet.
Renamon walked over to Rika's bed, laid her down, and tucked Rika back into bed, just like a little child. "Goodnight Rika," Renamon said, and then vanished out of the room. "Renamon," Rika called out. "Yes Rika," Renamon asked, reappearing back in the room. "Please, don't leave me tonight," Rika begged. "Allright Rika, if you wish," Renamon told her, she walked back over to her and curled up near the bed, just like a pet dog.
"Renamon, please, sleep here, with me," Rika said and pulled the covers back. "If you wish." Renamon walked back over to the bed and laid down next to Rika, she pulled the covers back over the two of them and put her arms around Rika. Rika put both arms around Renamon and held her close. "I love you Renamon," Rika said in a sleepy voice. "I love you too Rika," Renamon told her. The two soon fell asleep, still embracing each other lovingly.
I know, it's not the best thing I ever wrote, but I did the best I could think of to make this story better. Anyway, if you have any comments, criticisms, or even requests, go ahead and tell me. But if you decide to flame me, I won't even care, I probably deserve it for this.
