Devidramon - Yay! I surprised someone! Oh, and Jigoku means Hell.
Indatsura - No problem for the mention, and thanks for the compliment.
Super Saya-jin Gotan - Don't feel bad. I've found some fics that I totally love that just don't have the reviews they deserve. But thank you so much! ^_^
Inuyasha-kun - Houston, we have fluff.
I yawned as Dad dragged me out of the cat. What a day. What an understatement. I managed to pull myself upstairs to sleep, noticing but not exactly caring, that Dad had run off.
The hybrids...where were they now? Had they all died when Hypnos had blown up? Were Pata and I the only ones left?
I frowned as I sat on my bed. It had been forever since I'd slept in my own good old bed. I stared outside my window and found myself blinking back tears at the unbidden memory of Devi and Grey, softly tapping on the window at Grandpa's apartment.
Finally, I got around to sleeping. Dreams of hybrids, and a strangely familiar blonde woman.
My first ever prophetic dream.
Jenrya Lee frowned as he played with the small green trinket. It seemed as if the rings held the power to do anything whatever the owner wished the most at the time they used it. So what did he want? Renamon and Kiiroishi had used theirs to save their loved ones...but no one needed saving now. So then what? Then...
Jenrya groaned as he fought with himself for one last time. He already knew the answer to his own question. He couldn't deny it anymore. Couldn't deny what he had tried for years to convince himself he didn't feel, ever since he was about fifteen, when the foxish boy entered his life. He told himself it couldn't be possible.
But it was. He knew it. She knew it. Ruki and Shuchion knew...and possibly Kiiroishi. Yamaki even seemed to suspect, from what he'd heard from his son. No use in denying anymore...
Everyone knew -- he loved Renamon.
Jenrya made up his mind and went running after her, with the ring on his finger flashing.
"Eh, it's weird here!" declared a female voice. The owner of the voice toyed around with the small pink flowers in her shoulder-length mahogany hair. She was dressed in a shiny pink and green jacket and jeans combo.
Poking out of her shoulders were large plant-like wings.
"Lili, stop your whining!" barked back her companion, a blonde boy with startling blue eyes. He was wearing a black leather jacket and pants. Toge sighed and placed her hand on her temple.
"Leo, Lili, stop it." Toge commanded, glancing over the two bickering hybrids. She was holding a large yellow notepad in her arms and kept making marks on it with her pencil. "I know, the outside is kind of weird, but you've got to deal with it for the time being." Toge's brows creased as she looked over her list.
"Pata..." Toge murmured. Could her little adoptee have possibly died...? Everyone else seemed to be here. Toge automatically whirled around at the sound of a man's footsteps. "You!" Toge cried.
"Me." Yamaki softly whispered. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked Toge. Toge hesitantly nodded. "Yes."
Yamaki and Toge walked over to an alleyway away from general view. Yamaki took off his sunglasses before addressing the young woman. "You need a place, don't you?" Yamaki asked.
"We can't go on much longer alone..." Toge admitted with a loud sigh. Yamaki smiled, understanding.
"I can help. It will take a while, but I can convoke my superiors to put up a place for you and your kind. We'll give you food, clothing, and try to find you all jobs if possible." Yamaki explained. Toge looked the man in the eyes. Amazingly, he seemed to be sincere. "No back stabbing this time?" Toge demanded, and Yamaki nodded.
"I just want to make up for the harm I've caused you all, if I ever can..." Yamaki's voice wavered.
Toge smiled and grabbed the older man's hand and firmly shook it, causing his throat to close up with tears.
Ruki walked into the living room, where the two girls and Neuvemon were dozing on the couch. Ruki smiled.
They looked so peaceful. Reiko had her arm around the little blonde, who was sucking her thumb. Neuvemon was snuggled between the two girls, obviously enjoying the warmth. It was a miracle that the power of that simple little ring had freed her daughter, and had reformed the hellish creature that had overtaken her. Impossible, even.
Lucky that her daughter was as much of a card freak as Ruki herself had been at thirteen. Reiko would definitely make a formidable Tamer with Ruki's help. Maybe even the next Digimon Queen. Unconsciously, Ruki brushed her hand through her daughter's brown locks, and the thin pale strands on Pata's head.
Ruki looked up as Takato walked into the room. "Hey, gogglehead." She softly whispered. Takato yawned and smiled at the scene on the couch. "I can't believe she's back..." Ruki gave her husband a long look before walking up to him and hugging him. They stayed like that for a few minutes before breaking apart.
Takato reached over and brushed Pata's hair. "She's so cute." Takato laughed. "We should keep her."
Ruki nodded in agreement. "I say we do."
Renamon sat on the roof of her home and stared at the moon. It all seemed so lovely and peaceful now. Finally.
But a much more interesting subject drew Renamon's attention away from the moon. Jen.
He was walking through the lawn, looking rather distracted. It was actually one of Renamon's personal hobbies to spy on him. Not obsessively or anything of the sort, but it was something she found that she couldn't help. What was it that was pestering him so much? Renamon then found him staring at her. They stared for about a minute.
"Renamon..." Jenrya whispered, still staring. "I..."
To her mild surprise, Renamon found that she felt very nervous all of the sudden. "Jen, what is it?"
Jenrya suddenly turned bright red, which Renamon had to admit was very cute. "Oh, come on, don't leave me in suspense." the yellow fox teased the young man. Renamon leapt down from the roof as Jenrya gaped, speechless. Renamon's graceful leap was not helping him think straight, either. She always was so graceful...
"You still in there?" Renamon teased, tapping Jenrya's head. Jenrya laughed nervously, but felt his head clear. With a look of determination on his face, he placed his hand on Renamon's soft paw. "I have to say something..."
Renamon stared in disbelief at the blue haired man. He couldn't possibly...this had to be a dream, of course. Jenrya slipped the green ring onto Renamon's forefinger. Then Renamon understood. It was the perfect solution. The ring could give her a new form...
"What if this doesn't work?" Renamon asked as she looked Jenrya in the eye. He shrugged.
"Then it won't...wait, you don't object?" Jenrya gaped again at the yellow fox. She was full of surprises...
"Of course not..." Renamon whispered, pulling the young man closer to her. "Jen..."
Jenrya nodded and stood back, pulling himself away from Renamon. The ring on her finger began to rapidly flash. Then it shattered, sending forth a blast of light into the dark night. Renamon leaned her head back as her facial fur began to change into golden curls, and her claws changed into nails painted black. Her gloves became smaller and left openings for her fingers. The rest of her fur changed into a yellow and white shirt and pants decorated with the purple symbol on the fox's legs. Her eyes, ears, and tail had remained unchanged.
I woke up from my dream, and headed to my window to see what time of day it was. Instead I saw Dad and a strange blonde woman. "Mom...?"
