Chapter 27, and after only two days too, of course its not a very long chapter. Not much of the main story though, like the title suggests its an interlude. Anyway I don't want to say anymore or I might ruin it.

Chapter 24: Interlude #2
I lay back on my sleeping back in Davis's room staring up at the ceiling. I couldn't sleep and it wasn't just because of the pressure of this whole fight, or the fact that Davis and Veemon were snoring louder than I ever thought possible, though that had kept me up on previous nights. It was because I couldn't get my mind off of Jenn. Ever since the other day when I'd first started having feelings for her I couldn't stop thinking about her. I so wanted to tell her how I felt, but I couldn't ruin the relationship I had now, in one moment I could ruin a seven-year relationship.
I couldn't stand keeping it in any longer though, I kept thinking back to what had happened today. Seeing that stinger flying at Jenn was one of the most horrifying sights in my life. I'd been in danger before, but that didn't compare to seeing her in danger, I knew during these battles my life was in danger but, it hadn't hit me until now that so was hers, she was in just as much danger as I was, she could did at anytime. If she did I wouldn't know what I'd do, I'd rather die than see her die. But what if she did die? She'd never know how I'd felt; I don't think I could live with myself knowing that.
I couldn't take this anymore! I didn't care what it might do to our relationship; if our friendship was really that strong then it should be able to handle anything right? I had to tell her. What time was it anyway? My eyes met the clock, one AM, kind of late, I didn't care I might not get the courage to tell her again.
"Elecmon wake up." I said shaking my Digimon.
"Uh - huh what?" he said groggily.
"I need a ride, can you become Armyleomon again?"
"Yeah of course," Elecmon said. "Where are you going? And at this time."
"I need to talk to Jenn."
Elecmon smiled. "Are you going to tell her?"
I nodded. "Yeah, its driving me nuts, and I know if I wait until morning I won't be able to."
"Okay, get out the egg and I can Armor Digivolve."
I'll meet you out on the balcony I've got to get a few things. Elecmon opened the door and walked into the balcony, meanwhile I got dressed and grabbed my Digivice, crest and D-Terminal, which had appeared after Armyleomon had become Elecmon again. I quietly stepped opened the sliding door, though I really didn't need to be that quiet, Infermon could come crashing in and neither Davis or Veemon could wake up. Elecmon hopped up to the railing, in preparation for Armor Digivolving. I popped open the D-Terminal preparing the Digiegg.
"Digiarmor energize!"
"Elecmon Armor Digivolved to……………………Armyleomon! The artillery of Compassion!"
I climbed inside the glass dome on Armyleomon's back, the door slid closed, and Armyleomon was off. I followed the signal Jenn's Digivice was giving off to find Yolei's apartment, it was a good thing our D3s had radar otherwise I would have no idea where to start looking. After about five minutes of flying, we reached the building. Now what apartment did Jenn say Yolei lived in? I think was 5C that would be the fifth window up and third from the right. I moved up the building, until I reached the window, the curtains were drawn. Great, I couldn't be sure it was really hers, oh well only one way to find out.
Armyleomon slid open the dome on his back and I tapped on the window, after about a minute they were drawn open by Yolei, good this was the right one.
She jumped back when she saw me, obviously unprepared to see a half fighter jet half lion creature outside her bedroom window. I smiled nervously and waved. After recovering from the surprised Yolei slid the window open.
"Kris? What are you doing here at one AM?"
"I need to talk to Jenn," I answered.
"Is it really that important? We were sleeping."
"Yes!" I yelled. "It's important, I need to talk to her."
"Ok, ok, come on in."
She stepped aside and I jumped off of Armyleomon and crawled into the window, Armyleomon became Elecmon and again and did the same.
Jenn began to sit up from the cot she was sleeping on; she looked surprised as she saw me.
"Kris? What are you doing here?"
I sat down on the cot next to her. "I need to talk to you…" I coked an eye at the others in the room. "…alone."
Yolei sighed, and picked up a sleeping Hawkmon. "Fine, fine I get it."
Without too much trouble Yolei left the room with Hawkmon in her arms. I turned my head to Penguinmon and Elecmon.
"You too," I told them.
"What us?" they both yelled.
"I know what you're going to tell her," Elecmon said. "Why do I have to leave?"
"Look," I said. "I just want to talk to Jenn alone, you know what I'm going to tell her so you should understand why I want you to leave."
"Fine," Elecmon grumbled, and began leaving the room.
Penguinmon was reluctant but was forced out as Elecmon grabbed her flipper and dragged her out.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Jenn asked. "Is something wrong?"
I shook my head. "No nothing's wrong."
'At least not yet anyway', I thought to myself.
I sighed. Okay the moment of truth time to tell her. How could something so easy be so hard?
"Okay," I said sighing. "I'm just going to go out and say this, because if I don't say it now I'm never going to gather up the courage again to say it. It's just - that - well - recently I've been having these feelings for you."
A small smile grew on her face. Good sign! Definitely a good sign.
"What do you mean by feelings?"
"Well -" I sighed again, how was I going to find the right words to say this? "It's just - uh well. Since we first meet I've only looked at you as my best friend, I never really looked at you as a girl. I get nervous around girls; I'm shy around them. I stutter and the words don't come out right, I was only able to talk to Janine because it was important to the team, and I only managed to talk to Emmie - Emily because she'd sprayed some pheromones on her, normally I'm incredibly shy when it comes to talking to girls. It's not like that with you, not only can I talk to you, but I can tell you things that I can't even tell Elecmon. Now recently for the first time I'm seeing you as a girl and not just a friend, and I've been having all these new feelings for you, and I've realized that I really care for you, don't get me wrong I always have, but now I care for you more than just as a friend. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I really like you Jenn, and more than just as a friend, and I would really like it if we could become more than just friends."
I looked her in the eyes looking for a reaction. I saw tears begin to well up in them. Of all the reactions I'd gone through in my mind I'd never thought she'd start crying. Great how could I have ruined this, but I felt relief as a huge smile grew on her face.
I was taken by surprise as she wrapped her arms around me in a hug.
"Oh Kris!" she yelled as tears began to stream down her face. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that! I feel the same way about you!"
The same smile spread on my face as I wrapped my own arms around her. Of all the ways for this to go down that had gone through in my mind this was the one I'd hoped for the most, but I never really thought that it would happen this way. I could see now that those tears running down her face were actually tears of joy.
"I'm so glad you feel that way Jenn," I said happily. "I was so afraid that you wouldn't, and that it might ruin our relationship, by telling you."
"That's why I was so afraid to tell you," Jenn said. "I love what we have now, and I want our relationship to be something more too, but I also didn't want to ruin what we already have."
We broke the hug, but we didn't break physical contact, I don't think either of us wanted to. We still held hands.
"How long exactly have you felt this way?" I asked.
"Quite awhile," she answered. "It started as a harmless crush that I thought would just go away, then my hormones kicked and I thought it would go away but instead it just grew into very strong feelings."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"I'm sorry. I wanted to I really did. But I couldn't gather up the courage to tell you."
"Don't be sorry," I said brushing my hand against her cheek. "If I were in your position I'd be to afraid too, the only reason I was able to tell you was because of this war. I was afraid I might lose you, and you'd have never known how I felt."
"How long have you felt this way?" she asked.
"Not as long as you," I said. "I saw you as a friend since we met, then Elecmon told he thought you liked me, then I started looked at you differently, and I liked what I felt."
"Remind me to thank Elecmon later."
There was a very comfortable silence for a while, while we looked into each other's eyes. Once again I found myself asking how I couldn't have noticed how beautiful she was. How could I know her seven years and not have these feelings for her? I loved this feeling; I loved feeling this way for her, and what made it even better, was knowing she felt the same way about me.
"So where do we go from here?" Jenn asked.
My smile grew wider as I moved my hand from her cheek to the back of her head.
"I have somewhat of an idea," I said.
I couldn't believe what I was about to do, but something about it just felt right. I leaned her face towards mine. Our lips met, and honestly I expected her to push away, but instead she embraced it and wrapped her arms around my neck. I did the same and wrapped my arms around her waist. I never wanted this to end. I'd be lying if I said that the kiss was more passionate than the one I had shared with Emily, because it wasn't, but with Jenn it was definitely better. The kiss with Emily on the beach was only good because of the physical aspect, but with Jenn it was so much more than that, it was much more intimate, so much better. I'm not sure how long the kiss lasted; it felt like hours, our lips finally separated.
"Wow," she said our lips finally separated.
"No kidding," I said.
Our lips were the only things that separated, I still held my arms around her waist, hers still wrapped around my neck. She drew me closer in the same way that I had her and we kissed again. This one was more passionate, our mouths opened this time, and I held her even closer never wanting to let her go.
Our lips reluctantly separated again.
Even I was shocked at what I said next. "I love you."
It was hard not to notice the look of shock on her face, even I was shocked and I had said it! But I hadn't just said it because of the heat of the moment; I said it because I meant it. I'd been willing to sacrifice my life for her, I'd jumped in the way of that stinger knowing perfectly well that it would kill me but I didn't care, as long as she wasn't hurt. If that wasn't love I didn't know what was, I really did love her. But why did I have to ruin what I'd just gained, she probably hated me now.
She smiled, and drew me closer, and said softly. "I love you too."
She loved me! She wasn't just saying it because I was saying it either, I knew when Jenn was being sincere, and now she was definitely being sincere. My heart was soaring, I'd never felt this good in my life. The girl I cared for more than life itself, not only liked me she loved me! At this moment I didn't care if Infermon came crashing through the wall nothing was going to tear me away from her, nothing at all.
* * *
Jenn
"Don't be sorry," Kris said brushing his hand against my cheek lovingly. I shivered at his touch he was so gentle.
"If I were in your position I'd be to afraid too, the only reason I was able to tell you was because of this war. I was afraid I might lose you, and you'd have never known how I felt."
"How long have you felt this way?" I asked.
"Not as long as you," he said. "I saw you as a friend since we met, then Elecmon told he thought you liked me, then I started looked at you differently, and I liked what I felt."
"Remind me to thank Elecmon later." I said staring into his beautiful eyes.
I did that for a while, staring into his eyes, I just couldn't stop. I finally broke the silence. I couldn't believe this was happening, I couldn't believe he actually felt this way about me, I'd prayed for this to happen for so long, it was almost too good to be true. I had to be dreaming, but if I was I didn't want to wake up.
"So where do we go from here?" I asked.
He moved his hand from my cheek to the back of my head, and began to pull my head towards his, I liked where this was going. Our lips meant, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Kris to be this forward he was usually so shy, maybe it was because it was me, he did say he was never shy around me, but despite that I liked it. I wrapped my arms around his neck fulfilling my need to be closer to him, he responded by wrapping his arms around my waist, drawing me even closer. I loved this feeling, being in his arms, I just felt so safe, like nothing could hurt me. I never wanted our lips to separate, unfortunately due to lack of air we had to.
I spoke the only word that came to mind as our lips finally separated. "Wow." That did pretty much describe it all.
He smiled. "No kidding."
I need to be closer to him, I pulled him closer to me, and our lips met again, this time in an even more passionate kiss. I could feel his mouth pry mine open, or was it the other way around I was enjoying this too much to notice, either way none of us resisted, we only drew each other closer. Much to my dismay our lips separated again.
He grew that warm smile on his face that I loved so much, and spoke softly. "I love you."
That definitely took me by surprised. I knew he liked me, first of all because he said so himself, and second by the way he kissed me, I'd been kissed by guys before, but nothing like that. I'd never felt anything so intimate; I'd never felt like I never wanted to let go of someone like this before. He loved me! He didn't just like me, like I'd hoped for he loved me! It was then I realized that I felt the exact same way. I'd risked my life for him trying to save him from Emily; I didn't care what happened to me, or even Penguinmon, as long as he was okay. I did love him.
I smiled warmly at him. "I love you too."
The smile that grew on his face as I said that was indescribable. I didn't just have a crush on Kris, my best friend since I was seven; I was in love with him! And he was in love with me! It's impossible to describe how great this feeling flowing through me was. We drew each other closer at the same time and for the third time we kissed. This one was the most passionate, our mouths opened, and I allowed my tongue to venture into his mouth, he was surprised at first, but then did the same to me.
Oh God please don't let me be dreaming! This was one of the most spectacular moments of my life, I was here in a romantic setting kissed the guy I loved, I never wanted this night to end, actually it didn't have to. I broke the kiss, he looked longingly into my eyes, I wanted to kiss him again too, but not yet.
"Kris?" I said. "Can you do me a favour?"
"Anything," he said immediately.
"Could - could you stay here tonight."
He looked shocked at my request; I could tell he took it the wrong way.
"Jenn, I love you and I really care about you." He said brushing a stray hair out of my face. "But, I think it's a little too soon for that, I mean -"
I laughed. "Kris that's not what I meant, I don't want to make love with you - not yet anyway - I just want you to stay here, I don't want this night to end."
He looked into my eyes again and smiled, a little relief on his face. I knew even if given the opportunity for sex he wouldn't take it, not without a little time.
"Sure, I'd love too."
I drew him closer into another kiss, never wanting to let go, and what made it even better was knowing he never wanted to let go either.
* * *
Elecmon
I peered through the cracked doorway, I know spying on Kris and Jenn wasn't right, but I mean when you knew something this important was going to happen how could you just pass it up. Just as I thought, they were kissing.
Not just kissing, their mouths were open, and I could tell their tongues were involved in it too. I'd seen it on TV before, it had something to do with the French, I don't know I didn't really keep up on human mating habits; it was disgusting for the most part. I'd sat through one of Kris's health classes, how could humans do that? How was that considered beautiful? I guess if I was a human I would understand, but I wasn't so I never really would.
"What's going on?" Penguinmon said approaching from behind.
"They're kissing," I answered.
"Its about time," Penguinmon said. "I was wondering when they'd finally get together."
I knew know for sure that Jenn and Kris did indeed share that very rare bond that was stronger than even Digimon and Digidestined, I even remembered what that bond was called. Love.
* * *
Infermon
Those Digidestined were starting to annoy me. Not only had they destroyed my entire Flymon swarm, they'd managed to destroy my control spire. How could they have? With it up they shouldn't have been able to Digivolve, but they had! And into even more powerful Champions than usual, two of them had defeated one dozen Flymon.
"You're underestimating them Infermon."
I jolted up in fear, as two yellow glowing eyes appeared on the monitor in front of me.
"H-hello master," I said very nervously. He only continued to glare at me. "Evamon, why were they able to Digivolve? The control spire should have stopped it."
"Armor Digivolution," Evamon answered. "An ancient form of Digivolving. You should have anticipated it."
"I-I didn't."
"Because you are underestimating them!" Evamon boomed. "You are making the same mistakes that all the others before you have! You cannot underestimate these children's powers! They are more powerful than you think! Their powers stem from the forces of light, powers that rival mine; you should have known that they'd find some way around it. You just didn't send enough of your minions."
"Yes, Evamon I understand." I said.
"The time has come, time to use your strongest minions."
"Are you sure?" I asked. "You know how hard to control they are."
"Are you questioning my orders?!"
"No no! Of course not!"
"Then use them."
With that the eyes disappeared on the monitor in front of me. Now those Digidestined would finally be destroyed, even if they did defeat my minions I'd destroy them myself. I approached the wall behind, me.
"Open," I commanded.
The wall split down the middle, revealing the room behind it. Two dark figures emerged from the room, my strongest minions. The first one, a hideous mix of Digimon resurrected by Evamon. The second one stepped ahead of the first, he was the smarter one, not that he was that smart of course.
"It's time," I told them.
The smaller figure smiled, his teeth glimmered as he did.
"Finally," he said. "I get my revenge on the Digidestined. Oh yeah! Those Digidestined are going down! Uh huh huh!"
------------
So have you guessed who the minions are, one of them should be obvious, and the second I gave some clues about, and yes they are enemies the Japanese Digidestined have faced before, I know the end part with Infermon was a little inconsistent with the rest of the chapter but I thought I'd throw in a little preview of what's to come in the next chapter. And yes I know that I probably got Kris and Jenn together a little quickly, usually in both fan fics and TV series the love plots develop slower, but I've read so many where the love plot develops throughout the entire fic/series then when they finally get together the fic/series ends! Not allowing for you to see what happens after they get together, so I thought I'd make mine different. Stay tuned for the next chapter, but it might not be out for a while since I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do the next one, I've got a few plans for it, but I'm not sure which one to go with, anyway be patient because it will come out. Anyway I better stop becaus these author's notes are getting a little long.

"Fine," Elecmon grumbled, and began leaving the room.

This one was more passionate, our mouths opened this time, and I held her even closer never wanting to let her go.
Our lips reluctantly separated again.
Even I was shocked at what I said next. "I love you."
It was hard not to notice the look of shock on her face, even I was shocked and I had said it! But I hadn't just said it because of the heat of the moment; I said it because I meant it. I'd been willing to sacrifice my life for her, I'd jumped in the way of that stinger knowing perfectly well that it would kill me but I didn't care, as long as she wasn't hurt. If that wasn't love I didn't know what was, I really did love her. But why did I have to ruin what I'd just gained, she probably hated me now.
She smiled, and drew me closer, and said softly. "I love you too."
She loved me! She wasn't just saying it because I was saying it either, I knew when Jenn was being sincere, and now she was definitely being sincere. My heart was soaring, I'd never felt this good in my life. The girl I cared for more than life itself, not only liked me she loved me! At this moment I didn't care if Infermon came crashing through the wall nothing was going to tear me away from her, nothing at all.

Jenn
"Don't be sorry," Kris said brushing his hand against my cheek lovingly. I shivered at his touch he was so gentle.
"If I were in your position I'd be to afraid too, the only reason I was able to tell you was because of this war. I was afraid I might lose you, and you'd have never known how I felt."
"How long have you felt this way?" I asked.
"Not as long as you," he said. "I saw you as a friend since we met, then Elecmon told he thought you liked me, then I started looked at you differently, and I liked what I felt."
"Remind me to thank Elecmon later." I said staring into his beautiful eyes.
I did that for a while, staring into his eyes, I just couldn't stop. I finally broke the silence. I couldn't believe this was happening, I couldn't believe he actually felt this way about me, I'd prayed for this to happen for so long, it was almost too good to be true. I had to be dreaming, but if I was I didn't want to wake up.
"So where do we go from here?" I asked.
He moved his hand from my cheek to the back of my head, and began to pull my head towards his, I liked where this was going. Our lips meant, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Kris to be this forward he was usually so shy, maybe it was because it was me, he did say he was never shy around me, but despite that I liked it. I wrapped my arms around his neck fulfilling my need to be closer to him, he responded by wrapping his arms around my waist, drawing me even closer. I loved this feeling, being in his arms, I just felt so safe, like nothing could hurt me. I never wanted our lips to separate, unfortunately due to lack of air we had to.
I spoke the only word that came to mind as our lips finally separated. "Wow." That did pretty much describe it all.
He smiled. "No kidding."
I need to be closer to him, I pulled him closer to me, and our lips met again, this time in an even more passionate kiss. I could feel his mouth pry mine open, or was it the other way around I was enjoying this too much to notice, either way none of us resisted, we only drew each other closer. Much to my dismay our lips separated again.
He grew that warm smile on his face that I loved so much, and spoke softly. "I love you."
That definitely took me by surprised. I knew he liked me, first of all because he said so himself, and second by the way he kissed me, I'd been kissed by guys before, but nothing like that. I'd never felt anything so intimate; I'd never felt like I never wanted to let go of someone like this before. He loved me! He didn't just like me, like I'd hoped for he loved me! It was then I realized that I felt the exact same way. I'd risked my life for him trying to save him from Emily; I didn't care what happened to me, or even Penguinmon, as long as he was okay. I did love him.
I smiled warmly at him. "I love you too."
The smile that grew on his face as I said that was indescribable. I didn't just have a crush on Kris, my best friend since I was seven; I was in love with him! And he was in love with me! It's impossible to describe how great this feeling flowing through me was. We drew each other closer at the same time and for the third time we kissed. This one was the most passionate, our mouths opened, and I allowed my tongue to venture into his mouth, he was surprised at first, but then did the same to me.
Oh God please don't let me be dreaming! This was one of the most spectacular moments of my life, I was here in a romantic setting kissed the guy I loved, I never wanted this night to end, actually it didn't have to. I broke the kiss, he looked longingly into my eyes, I wanted to kiss him again too, but not yet.
"Kris?" I said. "Can you do me a favour?"
"Anything," he said immediately.
"Could - could you stay here tonight."
He looked shocked at my request; I could tell he took it the wrong way.
"Jenn, I love you and I really care about you." He said brushing a stray hair out of my face. "But, I think it's a little too soon for that, I mean -"
I laughed. "Kris that's not what I meant, I don't want to make love with you - not yet anyway - I just want you to stay here, I don't want this night to end."
He looked into my eyes again and smiled, a little relief on his face. I knew even if given the opportunity for sex he wouldn't take it, not without a little time.
"Sure, I'd love too."
I drew him closer into another kiss, never wanting to let go, and what made it even better was knowing he never wanted to let go either.

Elecmon
I peered through the cracked doorway, I know spying on Kris and Jenn wasn't right, but I mean when you knew something this important was going to happen how could you just pass it up. Just as I thought, they were kissing.
Not just kissing, their mouths were open, and I could tell their tongues were involved in it too. I'd seen it on TV before, it had something to do with the French, I don't know I didn't really keep up on human mating habits; it was disgusting for the most part. I'd sat through one of Kris's health classes, how could humans do that? How was that considered beautiful? I guess if I was a human I would understand, but I wasn't so I never really would.
"What's going on?" Penguinmon said approaching from behind.
"They're kissing," I answered.
"Its about time," Penguinmon said. "I was wondering when they'd finally get together."
I knew know for sure that Jenn and Kris did indeed share that very rare bond that was stronger than even Digimon and Digidestined, I even remembered what that bond was called. Love.

Infermon
Those Digidestined were starting to annoy me. Not only had they destroyed my entire Flymon swarm, they'd managed to destroy my control spire. How could they have? With it up they shouldn't have been able to Digivolve, but they had! And into even more powerful Champions than usual, two of them had defeated one dozen Flymon.
"You're underestimating them Infermon."
I jolted up in fear, as two yellow glowing eyes appeared on the monitor in front of me.
"H-hello master," I said very nervously. He only continued to glare at me. "Evamon, why were they able to Digivolve? The control spire should have stopped it."
"Armor Digivolution," Evamon answered. "An ancient form of Digivolving. You should have anticipated it."
"I-I didn't."
"Because you are underestimating them!" Evamon boomed. "You are making the same mistakes that all the others before you have! You cannot underestimate these children's powers! They are more powerful than you think! Their powers stem from the forces of light, powers that rival mine; you should have known that they'd find some way around it. You just didn't send enough of your minions."
"Yes, Evamon I understand." I said.
"The time has come, time to use your strongest minions."
"Are you sure?" I asked. "You know how hard to control they are."
"Are you questioning my orders?!"
"No no! Of course not!"
"Then use them."
With that the eyes disappeared on the monitor in front of me. Now those Digidestined would finally be destroyed, even if they did defeat my minions I'd destroy them myself. I approached the wall behind, me.
"Open," I commanded.
The wall split down the middle, revealing the room behind it. Two dark figures emerged from the room, my strongest minions. The first one, a hideous mix of Digimon resurrected by Evamon. The second one stepped ahead of the first, he was the smarter one, not that he was that smart of course.
"It's time," I told them.
The smaller figure smiled, his teeth glimmered as he did.
"Finally," he said. "I get my revenge on the Digidestined. Oh yeah! Those Digidestined are going down! Uh huh huh!"
------------
So have you guessed who the minions are, one of them should be obvious, and the second I gave some clues about, and yes they are enemies the Japanese Digidestined have faced before, I know the end part with Infermon was a little inconsistent with the rest of the chapter but I thought I'd throw in a little preview of what's to come in the next chapter. And yes I know that I probably got Kris and Jenn together a little quickly, usually in both fan fics and TV series the love plots develop slower, but I've read so many where the love plot develops throughout the entire fic/series then when they finally get together the fic/series ends! Not allowing for you to see what happens after they get together, so I thought I'd make mine different. Stay tuned for the next chapter, but it might not be out for a while since I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do the next one, I've got a few plans for it, but I'm not sure which one to go with, anyway be patient because it will come out. Anyway I better stop becaus these author's notes are getting a little long.
