Digimon Cager's Notes: I would just like to say thanks to all of you who told me what the real names are of some of the characters. I'm not good at remembering names and I'm horrible at spelling, so please, if I spell something wrong, don't freak.
Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil
Chapter 5
"Oh, Rika! This dress would just look divine on you!" beamed Rika's mother as she held the new dress up to her daughter. Rika didn't protest. She couldn't.
'I don't feel like arguing right now, anyway.' thought Rika trying to convince herself that it wasn't worth it. Her mother frowned.
"Oh, Rika," sighed Ms. Makino, "It's just not the same anymore. After that horrible accident... it's like you aren't even here." Rika looked up at her mother in surprise. She didn't normally talk like that. Rika opened her mouth to say somthing to cheer up her mother but all that came out was a kind of squeaking or moaning sound that wasn't normally produced by the larynx. Rika put her hand up and rubbed her throat. She couldn't think of anyway those bats could have made her this way... it just seemed impossible.
"Rika, why don't you go out and play with your friends." suggested her Grandmother coming in, "Just be careful." Rika nodded and left and just as the door closed behind her, her mother burst into tears... 'Why did this have to happen to Rika?... Why!?' Her own mother went over to comfort her, knowing they both shared the same pain.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"I feel so horrible." groaned Renamon looking down at her clentched paws, "I knew I shouldn't have left Rika!"
"Don't blame yourself, Renamon." said Terriermon, "If you recall, I was only a few yards away from Henry and Guilmon was only a little farther from Takato. We both had a chance to save our own Tamers and blew it."
"But... I was so foolish! I shouldn't have left her."
"Look!" shouted Guilmon sticking his head around the gate-like door of his 'house', "Takato, Jeri and Rika are coming this way! Oh, I hope they brought a treat!" Guilmon ran out to greet them while Terriermon and Renamon stayed.
"How can he just go on like nothing different has happened?" Renamon asked herself out loud.
"Talk about naive." agreed Terriermon.
"Hey, boy." said Takato patting his Digimon on the head as he neared. After loosing his sight, Takato's other senses seemed to be improving, especially his ears so he could hear when someone was appoaching him.
"It's almost like you can see me!" shouted Guilmon in his usual boisterous attitude.
"I've got something for you." teased Takato slowly reaching back into the sack that hung on his arm.
"Bread!" cried Guilmon excitedly trowing up his arms, "Come on, Terriermon! I'm sure you want some too, Renamon." The other two Digimon didn't emerge.
"I guess they're still upset." sighed Jeri.
"I guess so." agreed Takato giving Guilmon the sack and sitting down on the nearest bench. Jeri walked over and sat next to him while Rika approached the building.
'I don't see why Renamon should be upset.' thought Rika walking into the small building, 'It wasn't her fault. I told her to go home.' She looked up at her Digimon and gave a feeble attempt to smile but Renamon didn't smile back.
"I'm sorry, Rika." apologised Renamon. Rika shook her head and tried to speak again but again came the weak moaning sound instead of words. Rika sighed, 'I can't believe I forgot again! How many times in a day can I make the same mistake!?'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"I still don't get it!" yelled Henry slamming his fist down on the computer desk, "What could be doing this!?"
"Henwy?" asked a small voice from the door. It was Susie, but Henry didn't acknowledge her presence. Henry sighed and slumped back into his chair.
"This is no good just staying home! I need to find out who's sending the bats to attack all of us Tamers." said Henry to himself even though he couldn't hear what he was saying, "I need to know! Will he strike again? When will the strike be if he does? Will he use the same method if he attacks Jeri again or try something different? Is it a Digimon or is it another human being? How is it possible for him to blind one of us, mute one of us and make me deaf? HOW!?"
"Daddy! Henwy's yelling at himself again!" shouted Susie. Mr. Wong came up the stairs and looked in. He looked down at his daughter as she asked him, "Daddy, why does Henwy yell at himself so much?"
"Don't mind him, Susie." said Mr. Wong taking her by the hand and leading her out, "He just needs his alone time and time to think. Let's leave him be." He hated to do this to Susie and keep her in the dark, 'But it's the only think I can do for her... she just wouldn't understand....'

The Next Morning....
"I can't believe this is happening to Takato and the other guys." said Kazu leaning back.
"Yeah, it's been bothering me so much, I'm even losing to you in the card game." replied Kenta.
"Uh, I hate to break it to you, Kenta, but you've been losing to me for years."
"Oh, yeah..." Kenta closed his eyes in thought, 'I know I've seen something like that before but I-' Kenta's eyes shot open as he gave an exclamation of excitment.
"What? Did you get stung by a bee or something?" asked Kazu looking at his friend with a questioning expression.
"I-It's nothing." assured Kenta quickly placing all the rest of his cards in his card tin and jumping down to the ground.
"Where're you goin'?" asked Kazu looking down over the edge.
"I just remembered, I need to go and... uh, do something important!" yelled back Kenta as he ran off, "I'll see you at school!" But that promise was to be broken. Kenta didn't show up for any classes. He was gone the whole day, ticking off Ms. Asaji and worrying Kazu.
"Where's Kenta today?" asked Jeri.
"I don't know." answered Kazu scratching the back of his head, "He left in a hurry this morning and said he'd be here for school but as far as I know, he never showed up."
"That's strange.... I hope he's alright."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
That evening, Henry was lying on his bed, thinking as hard as he could about the mystery when he felt a strange feeling. It was like it was telling him to check his e-mail. This wasn't new to Henry; it had always been like a sixth sense.
'What good would that do? I've already checked it two times today.' thought Henry with a sigh but the feeling was strong inside of him. Henry sighed and gave into his sixth sense. At first Henry just thought he was being foolish but it appeared he had a new e-mail after all! And it was from Kenta. It read:
Dear Henry,
I knew you wouldn't be able to hear me if I called you and it wouldn't feel right to just give another person in your family a message so I sent this through e-mail. I need you to meet me tomorrow at 8:00am in the park. I know who it is! Sorry g2g!
~Kenta
'Kenta? He knows who did it?' Henry asked himself, surprised at his friend, 'I really don't give that kid as much credit as he deserves.' Henry logged off and shut down his computer, feeling a little jumpy. He just couldn't wait till tomorrow morning!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
'This had better be worth it.' thought Rika angrily, 'If it's just one of those goggle head schemes of his... oh! I'll just kill him for making be come out so early!'
"Is everyone here?" asked Takato.
"Yes." answered Jeri, "Here comes Kenta now." And just as she said, Kenta was walking towards them but his face wasn't full of pride as they had expected it to be. It was more down cast or worried.
"What do you think is wrong with him?" asked Jeri.
"I'm not sure, Jeri." replied Leomon.
"So, do you really know who had been doing all this to the Tamers?" asked Terriermon.
"Yeah, who do you think it is?" asked Kazu.
"I don't think this is it. I know it is." stated Kenta firmly but he frowned, "I just... its not good either way."
"What do you mean?" asked Renamon, slightly aggrivated. Kenta looked up at them with a serious expression and reached into his back pocket. What he withdrew was a card. Nearly everyone gasped as Kenta said, "I knew I had seen at attack sorta like what happened to you and I know it has to be him! Or at least one of his forms. It can't be anything else."
"What is it? Who is it?" asked Takato trying to get an answer but no answer came. Takato turned towards Jeri and begged her, "Tell me! What is it!?"
"Takato... it... he... I-it..." stuttered Jeri.
"What is it!? WHY CAN'T ANY OF YOU TELL ME!!!!????" screamed Takato, tears of anger and aggrivation begining to flow over his cheeks.
"Trust me, Takato," said Renamon with a voice that sounded too scared to be hers, "You don't want to know."
