Author's Notes: Muwhahahaha. Yes. It's more of the dreaded Author's
Notes. This story is the result of time roleplaying on an online Muck as
characters from Tamers in an Alternate Universe, where the Saga of the
Devas developed much differently. Where Takato is much more than we think,
and where life in general, has gone to Hell in a Handbasket. It's gonna
be confusing at first. And like before, it will take place on two worlds.
And keep an eye out. You may see some characters from Digimon Adventure
01 and 02 pop up. ^-^ A lot of elements were taken from Marvel Comics.
Ghost
Rider in Particular, but also includes elements of James O'Barr's
The
Crow. I guess you could say it's got a bit of everything. ^-^ I promise,
I'll have Chapter Three of Human Eyes, Digital Soul up soon! ^-^;;;;

My name is Takato Matsuda.....
He looked around. His dark green eyes glowing with
an eerie light. A light which was echoed by the markings on his face.Once
he was human. Now he is something much different. But It hadn't been too
long ago that he'd been just one of the boys.......
And this....is my story.
In many ways, it was a day like any other. A week
had passed since Ruki Makino, the self styled Digimon Queen, had reconciled
with her partner, Renamon. Now, as Takato matsuda and his best friend
Jenrya Lee walked to school, along with the dog/rabbit Digimon known as
Terriermon riding on Lee's head, they found themselves discussing the recent
events.
"So she actually beat the Flybeemon on her own?"
"Yeah. Hard to believe though." Jenrya replied.
"How's that? They were strong as a group, but she
managed to pick them off one at a time." Terriermon said, a brow raised
in curiosity.
"Well, it's simple Terriermon," Takato said. "Flybeemon,
according to the card game, are Armor Digimon. And they're at least as
strong as a Champion Level Digimon. To have picked them off like that at
all is amazing. But then again, she did take out a Harpymon, who's also
an Armor Digimon, so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised."
"Oh."
"Hey, Takato, I'm just curious. Has that weird guy
shown up again since we first ran into him?" The man in question, of course,
was Yamaki. Leader of Hypnos. Of course, this was totally unknown to the
two young Tamers. He had merely confused the hell out of them with his
first appearance. Of course, he had been aware of them for some time now.
Not that he was likely to fill them in on that little secret.
"Nope. Not a trace. Of course, it's not really him
I've been thinking about. It's Ruki and Renamon."
"Oh?" replied the other two. They'd started ribbing
him after that first time he'd ever gone to her house, while looking for
Calumon. The ribbing had only gotten worse when he'd explained how they
ran into each other and her 'loverboy' crack. Of course, he was embarrassed
beyond belief. Partly because they teased him about it almost constantly,
and partly because he was beginning to realize that for some time- ever
since the day he'd seen her in his dreams in fact- that he'd developed
a crush on the red/blonde-haired girl. Though he still had a small crush
on Juri, it was beginning to fade, and his attentions seemed to turn completely
towards the 'Digimon Queen'. Of course, `he had told the two, and Guilmon.
Naturally, Guilmon was simply confused by it and forgot it a short time
later. Jenrya and Terriermon however, were quite another story.
"Not like that, you lunatics!" he said in exasperation."It's
just, that after they reunited, it seemed like they were going to be stronger
than ever. Then yesterday...well, amazing as it sounds....."
"Yes?"
"Well, she called me-"
"Ooooh! Did your 'dream girl' want a date?!" Terriermon
said with a playful laugh.
"No! She...asked if I'd seen Renamon at all in the
last few days."
"Renamon? Why?" Jenrya was interested now.
"According to her, Renamon seemed to vanish earlier
this past week. Ruki thought she may have simply been out looking for other
Digital Fields at first, but when she didn't come home the next day, she
started getting worried. Finally she tried calling me to see if me or Guilmon
had seen her. But I haven't seen her since that day she digivolved to Kyuubimon
and took down Harpymon."
"What about Guilmon?" Terriermon put in.
'Dunno. I couldn't ask him yesterday because when
she called, he had already settled down for the night. So I'll have to
talk to him about it when I get out of school today. Lucky for me it's
saturday."
"Yeah. The half day will do us some good. If she's
really missing, we can use the time to search for her." Jenrya put in.
"You have any idea where she might be?"
"Renamon? Could be anywhere."
"True."
The class time went by agonizingly slow. Takato wrote
down the occasional note. Drew a bit, and wondered why Ruki had called
HIM of all people about Renamon's disappearance.Ruki generally wasn't the
kind to call for help. Let alone to call him for help. Still, part of him
hoped that she had called him because maybe she felt the same for him that
he did for her. Of course, that had to be a pipe dream. As the bell rang
signalling the end of classes for the half-day, Takato, Jenrya, and Terriermon
met up near the gates to the school. After a few minutes of waiting for
the other kids to clear out, they searched the grounds, just in case. Nothing
turned up. They then headed to the park, split up, and started searching.
Half an hour later, they met near Guilmon's hut.
"Anything?" Takato asked.
"Nada."
"Not a trace. Then again, she probably wouldn't
have reason to come here anyway." Jenrya said. Terriermon nodded in agreement.
At that point, Guilmon stuck his large head out of his home's doorway.
"Takato? Who are you looking for?"
"Renamon. Ruki said she hasn't been home in almost
a solid week." Takato explained to his read and red and black skinned friend.
Guilmon blinked. Then thought for a few minutes.
"Maybe she was the one who got sucked into that
big light?"
"Big Light?"
+ + +
That had been nearly six months ago to the day. Renamon hadn't been the first to vanish. Nor the last. Many Digimon and humans vanished in the following days. But the one that finally broke him....the one that hurt him most...
Was Ruki's.
I'll make them pay. They took the world and
turned it into Hell. They must be brought to justice for their crimes.
For every man, woman, child, and Digimon, these monsters will pay! I swear
it, Ruki.....

Post notes: So it was confusing. So sue me! I wanted it to be perfect, but that didn't quite happen. o_o;; It's short, yes, but that's intentional. I will try to explain more of what's happened to the world, and to Takato, as best I can. Where are Ruki and Renamon, you ask? Heh. Well, that's my secret, for now. ^-^ I may revise this later on. Anyway, read and review please. ^-^
