Hey! Sorry for making you wait for this chapter. I needed a break from everything… too much stress and school didn't even start yet! -_-' Hehe! The next chapter is written, but I'm not sure if I want to type it up yet! : P Oh yeah, if you have ideas for any names of the Brotherhood of Seven, please tell me because I'm horrible at making names! As you can tell from my Title of this chapter!

Thanks to Kawaii Dragon for reviewing the fic once again and also to SilverStar, I'm glad you like my story :D!

Please, Forgive Me…

As the digital fighters and Piximon chatted, outside two mysterious figures lurked in the shadows and looked on.

"That boy was easier to manipulate and control than I though. Our task easier than I originally thought." Hissed the taller figure.

"I don't know how Brother Tom, was defeated so easily by those weaklings." The other figure said.

"He was careless, just like the boy. The girl on the other hand his stubborn and more difficult, but her emotions and her past will be her weakness." He responded.

"Brother Alias, I believe this form shall keep them from fulfilling their true destiny." The other said, removing his hood to reveal a head of blue hair and steel grey eyes.

"Very good, you could easily tear their hearts out. Do not disappoint me like your brother has or you will face the ultimate consequence." Brother Alias spoke sternly.

"I shall not, disappoint you." Stated the Jenrya look-alike stated.

Meanwhile inside Piximon's home, Ruki bombarded him with multiple questions.

"So what is our destiny supposed to be? What do we use to defeat those creeps?" Ruki pressed on, while Ryo just sat there deep in thought.

"Your destiny is in your own hands, therefore you must find that out for yourself. You've already defeated one of the Brotherhood of Seven during the test." Piximon answered.

"That puny weakling was one of them? Why don't we just go over there and defeat them right now?" She exclaimed, while getting up to get her weapon.

"I have to agree with Ruki, he was pretty easy to defeat, a couple of arrows from Ruki and slashes from my sword and we'll be alright." Ryo nodded in agreement.

"Will you two stop underestimating them? The one that you defeated was a lackey, why do you think he was only a test?" defied Piximon

"Whoa, calm down." Smurked Ryo. "I still want to learn about my weapon."

"Why does everything we do have to revolve around you, Hotshot?" Ruki fumed

"Ruki, what's wrong with you?" Ryo asked, trying to hold back that force that once again tried to take over.

"You're what's wrong! Everything about you pisses me off! Can't you just get lost?"

"Will you two stop arguing, I don't have much more time. Also if you keep this up you won't fulfil your de--. I mean, you won't hear about Ryo's sword." Piximon corrected himself before he gave out too much information.

Ruki just shot death glares at Ryo, while he just sweat-dropped.

'Are these two really the digital fighters who are supposedly, 'Drawn by fate, driven by hate, evolving into requisite love'? If they are I think they're at the 2nd part, but it's going to take a lot for them to finally realise the last bit.' He thought.

After snapping out of his daze, Ruki and Ryo just looked at him strangely.

"I'm sorry about that. Ryo, you may use your digimon cards by summoning their power from your sword. You do have an idea how you use your weapons right?" Piximon asked the two tamers.

"Yes I have. When I was younger, my fa-ther… taught me archery." She said solemnly hiding her emotions.

"I have also, my mom taught me martial arts, before she passed away." Sadness filling his voice.

"I'm sorry about that. Do you have any further questions?" Piximon asked, trying to change the subject, when he saw the looks of sadness and despair.

"How are we going to find the other members of the Brotherhood of Seven?" Ryo asked.

"A couple of my friends, who know their part of digi-world better than I do, will act as guides. Also, if you're within 6 feet of them your digivice will beep. It's getting late, go get some rest, you have a big day ahead of you."

"Alright." They both said.

"Umm… Ruki. You can have the bed I'll sleep on the floor, since I'm used to it." Ryo said, using his backpack as a pillow.

"Whatever."

I bet Ruki still hates me, if there were only a way to show her how much I care about her. God, I would do anything to gain her trust and friendship once again.

'You don't want her trust and friendship… you want her love and affection.' The same voice as before taunted in his mind.

'I do want her love and affection, I admit it, but I would rather see her happy, whether if it's with me or not. It's going to take time, with her trust and friendship.' He responded to the voice, not knowing if it would answer back.

"Good Night Ryo and Ruki." Piximon called.

"'Nite Piximon. Ryo." She said the last name with a hint of disgust.

"Goodnight, Ruki, Piximon." Ryo yawned.

What's with Ryo and his mood swings. At one point he's teasing me, the next he's yelling at me, while the next hour he's trying to apologise to me like nothing happened! He doesn't act like this around Juri or anyone else. Is it because he doesn't care about me and he's just trying to put up with me? Why do I have to be a digital fighter? If I could just let my guard down…

It was pitch black, probably around midnight and Ryo was still up thinking about nothing, but her. As he was about to fall asleep, he whispered, "Good night, my queen. Please forgive me."

Who are these hooded figures and why are there voices inside Ryo's head? Will he ever be forgiven? I'm sorry there's not much romance, but as Ryo thought … It's going to take time! You wouldn't rush into a relationship, so why should they? Also, is it not true, the more you go through with someone, in the end the better the relationship shall be? Hehe, more of my endless questions. Thanks for reading!
