Tamers: Stuck in Paradise - Season 2
Part 5
by Christian "Sid" Lang


Author's notes:
Just two short messages before T.K.'s suffering continues:
First of all, greetings to Jodan, who helped me work out some neat plot twists. ;)
Then concerning the Flamedramon/Renamon fans:
You might want to take a closer look at "Digimon: Outcasts" written by me.
This fic has much better potential for something like that.
Oops, I just see that T.K. is trying to run away from the set.
So we better start now...



Hawkmon is lazily sailing through the streets, lost in thoughts.
Last night's events had shaken him.
He couldn't believe that she can't remember or accept her past.
I just hope that-
"BACK OFF!" somebody on the street yells.
Hawkmon can see people jump. He frowns when he recognizes the voice.
"YOU WANNA DIE?" Gatomon yells.
Has everybody gone crazy last night? he asks himself.
The bird Digimon lands swiftly next to his friend and greets her.
"Back off, bird." Gatomon hisses.
Her claws look extra-shiny today. She must have sharpened and polished them.
"What's wrong, Gatomon?" Hawkmon asks, hoping to calm the cat down.
"In a few hours, nothing will be wrong anymore." Gatomon whispers.
"What do you want to do?" he asks, staying out of her immediate clawing range.
"First, Veemon is going to die. Then I'll deal with T.K.!"
Her ex-wannabe-boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend's partner?
"Uh... What did they do that they deserve to die?"
"Veemon hurt Renamon's feelings. He made her run away crying."
Jesus. He's going to die because of that?
"And just because-" he starts to protest.
"No! He made her run away, directly into T.K.'s arms! And then... then..."
Gatomon grabs Hawkmon's shoulders and pulls him close. Her voice drops to a whisper.
"And then they made love." she whispers.
"Has Kari drugged your food today?" Hawkmon asks flatly.
"Kari has seen them together in bed." Gatomon hisses.
"Oh boy."
"That wouldn't have happened if Veemon had not hurt her so badly." Gatomon continues.
"I see... But aren't you reacting a little... extreme?"
Gatomon grabs his neck with one paw.
"Do you want to join Veemon in DigiHeaven?" she hisses.
Hawkmon quickly shakes his head.
"Then leave me alone."
Hawkmon nods.
He watches Gatomon walk away and shudders.
Then he runs into the next shop and begs to be allowed to use the phone.

"This is Davis."
Veemon lazily watches his partner phoning.
"Veemon? It's for you. Hawkmon." Davis then tells him.
I wonder what he wants.
"Yeah?"
Vee, get out of the house. Or better yet, leave the country!
"Whoa. Wait. You sound stressed. What's wrong?"
Gatomon is on a killing spree! And you're the numero uno on her list!
"Why would she want to kill me?" Veemon asks, frowning.
No time! RUN! Oh, and tell Davis to warn T.K. please. He's number two.
Before Vemeon can ask another question, Hawkmon has hung up.
The Digimon of courage and friendship frowns.
Gatomon is on her way to kill me.
He looks at Davis, who simply looks confused.
Gatomon. Kill. Me.
"Oh boy." Veemon mutters.
Then, he starts to dash for the door.
"Davis! Gatomon wants to kill me, and then T.K.! Gotta run!" he shouts as he runs out.

"What was that all about?" Davis mutters.
He shrugs when the telephone rings.
"This is Davis." he answers the call.
Hello, Davis. Gatomon purrs softly.
"Uhhhhhhh... Hi?" Davis says and gulps.
Is Veemon with you?
"Ummm... Nope, haven't seen him all day." Davis lies.
Damn. Gatomon curses and hangs up.
"Jesus." Davis whispers and tries to calm down.
He jumps when the phone rings again.
"T-T-This is Davis."
Davis, it's me, T.K..
Thank God.
"T.K. What's wrong? Gatomon wants to kill you and Veemon!"
Please, could we talk somewhere?
"Sure. How about the fast-food restaurant where we always met?"
I'll be right there. Thanks, Davis.

Davis sits at the usual table and waits.
Finally he can see T.K. and instantly frowns.
The DigiDestined of Hope has a bruised eye and is walking funny.
T.K. groans when he sits down.
"Did somebody mug you on your way home?" Davis asks.
"That would have been nice." T.K. mutters.
Then he leans over the table and starts to whisper.
"Last night, Renamon ran into me. She looked really sad and so on." T.K. begins.
"I tried to comfort her and took her home. Then... well..."
T.K. suddenly blushes.
"Then what?" Davis asks and cocks his head.
"Well... she... kissed me." T.K. whispers.
Davis' eyes widen.
"And then... well... we spent the night together."
Davis gasps. He tries hard not to laugh or drool.
"Dude, you had sex with a Digimon?" Davis finally hisses.
"I guess it would count as petting. She touched me, I touched her... Well..."
The DigiDestined of courage is speechless.
"How was it?" he suddenly hears himself ask.
T.K. blushes even more.
"Sorry." Davis instantly mutters and holds up his hands.
Then he tries to switch to another subject.
"You look hurt. What happened?" he asks.
T.K. somehow doesn't stop blushing.
"Well, Kari saw me and Renamon together. In bed. And I was... nude."
"So she knows? How sick!" Davis whispers.
"Yeah. And then she... ummm... kicked me. Down there..."
Davis groans when he thinks of that.
"Oh boy. And then she punched you?"
"Hm? Oh, you mean the eye? No."
"How did that happen then?" Davis asks, not sure if he actually wanted to know.
"Well, after my recovery, I went to her apartment. I wanted to apologize."
"And Kari didn't want to hear anything and punched you?" Davis guesses.
"I never saw Kari. Ruki opened the door. And I guess Kari told her the story..."
Davis' eyes widen when he realizes that his girlfriend knocked out T.K.
"No wonder Gatomon wants to kill you." Davis mutters.
This time T.K.'s eyes widen in shock.

*THUNK*
"I hate him!"
*THUNK*
"He's as good as dead!"
*THUNK*
"He'll be lucky if Gatomon finds him before I do!"
*THUNK*
Ruki gulps.
She has never seen Kari this angry. Never.
The DigiDestined has done nothing but cursing and throwing.
When Tai had seen his sister with a expensive vase in her hands, he had reacted.
He had given her a baseball and told her to throw it against a wall.
By now the wall has several dozen baseball-shaped marks. But at least nothing has broken yet.
*THUNK*
Another mark on the wall.
"Oh come on. I bet it was nothing." Ruki mutters.
She yelps when the baseball flies past her right ear.
"Don't gimme that crap!" Kari yells.
And I thought I have acted like a tomboy.
*THUNK*
"I'll be in my room if you need me." she mutters.
"Yeah. I'll stay here just in case that Don Juan dares to show up again!"
*THUNK*

Kari gasps and grins when the doorbell rings.
Still holding her brother's baseball she opens the door.
To her disappointment, she does not see T.K. but Renamon.
"Heya!" the Digimon greets her happily.
"What do you want here?" Kari hisses.
She ignores the fact that the Digimon actually lives here.
The golden fox looks down at her.
"I just wanted to make one thing clear." Renamon snarls.
"If you touch my lover one more time, I'm gonna hurt you." she continues.
"Your... LOVER?" Kari hisses.
"Fortunately, your kick didn't affect his... abilities..." Renamon tells her with a grin.
Kari stares at her.
"Oh yes, I did check it. T.K. moaned when I touched him there after you left."
Kari's hand trembles. Renamon simply grins victoriously.
"He's mine now. If you do anything to harm him again, you'll regret it."
With these words, Renamon turns around and starts to walk away.
Kari suddenly feels defeated. Angry. Jealous.
Her entire hate is focused on Ruki's Digimon now.
*THUNK*
Kari blinks.
Renamon's now limp body hits the floor.
The baseball rolls away from the fox's body.
One side of it is colored dark red now.
Kari notices the blood stains on the fur at the back of Renamon's head.
Then the Digimon starts to vanish.
After some seconds, only the baseball is left.
"Ruki is going to kill me." she mutters.

Patamon is flying though the city. T.K. had told him what happened.
He had to since Patamon has entered his room just when Renamon's paw was between T.K.'s legs.
It didn't take the small Digimon long to figure out the consequences.
Renamon loves T.K., so Gatomon probably needs somebody to comfort her.
He grins.
A good friend. Somebody who understands her. Somebody who loves her.
Now all he had to do was finding Gatomon.

Veemon is standing in a dark dead-end street somewhere in the city.
He guesses that nobody would find him here since even he doesn't know where he is.
He guessed wrong.
"Prepare to meet Gennai, lizard."
Veemon yelps and looks up.
Gatomon is standing on a wall nearby, towering above him like the personified Wrath of God.
I didn't even do anything!
But Veemon knows that this is the end of the road for him.
