Disclaimer: Well you know I don't own Dgimon and I really don't care.
Rika (Looking irritated): All right I want to know about that ghost and I want it now.
Me (Facing her): By now you should know I don't spoil anything.
Takato: But that guy sure is weird.
Rika: Gogglehead you think anything is weird.
Takato (Blushing like crazy): Yeah well I umm."
BlackRenamon: Figures this guy turns red as a tomato anything the queen talks to him.
Me: Well when it's happens it happens.
Rika: Yeah, well not me.
Me (Rolling my eyes): Right.
Rika (Not liking that tone of voice): Hey what does that mean?
Me (Shrugs): Nothing.
Rika (Getting mad): Listen here, if you don't tell me now I really going to do something that would be you wish you were never born.
Me: Right. Now on with this chapter.
In-Training: Chapter 11: Shadows of the past.
Night had set in and it was the prefect time for two certain some bodies to a little night prowling. Rumiko and Renamon had spent the past two night looking for Kai and IceDevimon's lair, but with little luck. And it was started to ware thin on both of their patience. So now the two were taking a break in the park, near Guilmon's old home.
"Rumiko," Renamon spoke softly.
"Yes Renamon?" the famous model asked.
"Can you explain this light of love," Renamon said.
"Hmm," Rumiko looked up at the half moon. "I really don't understand it myself. But I think it's a bond of true love."
"A bond of true love?" Renamon repeated as her ears twitched.
"Yes," Rumiko said, nodding. "I think it's the reason my family's curse is lifted, because the light of our loved ones shinned through the dark hold of the curse."
"Makes sense, but I was wondering about my link with this strange power," Renamon said.
"Well actually it simple," Rumiko said.
"Really?" Renamon asked.
"Yes, it your love for Rika," Rumiko said then brought up her right to hide a smile. "And Guilmon."
"What?" Renamon asked startled as she looked away to hide her blush. "Me and Guilmon are just friends."
But the famous model did pick up the slight nervousness in her friend's tone, which over made her smile grow.
"You can't hide it from me you know, I can tell when someone is in love," Rumiko said in a teasingly friendly tone.
"I still don't understand, why do you think I love Guilmon?" Renamon asked, trying to keep her voice even, but failing, as her blush grew deeper.
Rumiko shrugged as she said," Little things really. Like the way you hurried to save when he Kai had-"
"Speaking of him, shouldn't we be getting back to our search," Renamon interrupted as she tried to changed the subject.
"Sure, I think we had a good enough break," Rumiko said smugly.
Renamon looked sideways at her friend and notice a Rika-like smirk on her face. But she tried her best to ignore it as both jumped into a tree and went back to their searching.
(The next day)
Things at the Matsuki's bakery had became a little crazy. With their only help unable to much that left the bread making couple all by themselves. So in the end Guilmon had decided to help out his tamer's parents. But things were still like a zoo. Luckily Renamon and Rika had dropped by and Renamon had volunteer to work too. But secretly she was overjoyed to be working by her secret love side, some goes for Guilmon. During that time both would look over at each other and then quickly looked away in embarrassment
The two cursed digimons watched from the counter as their larger partners worked beside, Takato's father. Mr. Matsuki was taking out a flesh load of bread out of the oven as Guilmon was knotting some duo. Renamon was making a flesh bunch of cream puff.
After finishing the cream puffs, Renamon went over to the counter the in-trainings were on and began preparing duo for more bread. She was cranking over an egg, when Guilmon walked by, his tail brushed up against hers. That feeling along was enough for the egg to go flying out of Renamon's paws. Choice would have it, the egg landed on Takato, cranking opening and covering the little brown Gigimon in yank. Rika burst out laughing as Takato's brown scaly skin turned as red as his larger partner's.
"Sorry," Renamon said sincerely.
Then she grabbed a towel and proceeding to clean Takato up. But a certain someone had notice her careless.
"Hey Renamon I thought you were never that clumsy?" the infant-like voice of Guilmon asked.
Startled again, Renamon nearly dropped Takato. She put him back on the counter and faced Guilmon. But both cursed tamers notice a faint pink on Renamon's checks.
"It was umm, an accident," Renamon said, nervously.
That was another sign; Renamon usually didn't have any troubling talking. But of course Guilmon didn't seem to pick up on it.
"Oh okay," he said then went back to his work.
Renamon sigh in relief before getting another egg.
"Wow that's something I thought I would never see that," Takato said.
"Yeah and what's would that be gogglehead?" Rika asked.
"Renamon in love," Takato said, sounded mildly shocked.
That in turn got a tail slap from Rika. "Renamon doesn't love dinoboy."
"Yes, she does, I seen this kind of stuff before," Takato said.
"Like how gogglehead?" Rika asked forcefully.
"Like when Guilmon told me, he." Takato voice trailed off.
"When he what?" Rika commanded.
"When he told he loved Renamon," Takato whispered, while looking away.
"What? Speak up gogglehead or I'll gave you another tail slap only harder," Rika threat by waving her tail in front of Takato.
"When he told me, he loved Renamon," Takato said nervously and louder this time, but still quiet enough so Renamon wouldn't hear.
That surprised Rika, she knew about Renamon's crush on dinoboy. But she had no clue that dinoboy had a crush on Renamon. But she decided to let the thought dropped for now.
"C'mon gogglehead I'm bored. Lets go to your room and see if there's anything good on," Rika said.
Takato nodded, still confused about a few things and both jumped off of the counter. They left the kitchen and was about to climb the stair when a custom leaving caught Takato's attention. The person had icy white attire with matching hair. The guy most have felt Takato watching him and looked at the brown lizard with red eyes. Then he lift.
Takato didn't know why, but something about that guy seem to stir the little virus memory. He recalled someone dressing like that person he just saw, but the other guy was wearing sunglasses so it was impossible to see his eyes.
A tail slap from Rika brought Takato out of his thought. "Hey gogglehead what are you looking at?"
"Just some guy I thought I recognize," Takato answered.
"Whatever, gogglehead," Rika said coldly as she rolled her eyes. Then she began climbing the stair with Takato close behind.
(Kai's lair)
IceDevimon in his human form had just returned to find Kai, napping again. That crystal orb of his displaying another one of his old memories. The icy digimon still couldn't figure out why the orb display the memory like Kai was watching it instead of through his own eyes. So he just looked at the picture and let his wondering thoughts drop.
Kai looked about 14, wearing a gray shirt with the sleeves tore off, beneath a red cape. He wore black jeans and black high-tops were blue strips running down it. His hair was a complete and total mass. He was staring at a man in his early 40s, his graying hair cut short. This man was wearing a blue business suit, without a coat and the sleeves of his shirt rolled. His blues eyes were staring deep into Kai's own blues.
The man was saying something, but of course it was muted. Just anything the icy fallen angel couldn't figure out about the orb. But the man looked disappointed as he shock his head. Then a pulled out a square piece of tan paper with Japanese writing on it. He held out in front of his face and started to chant, by IceDevimon guess. Then lightening came flying out of the paper and straight towards Kai. But Kai quickly took out his own spell paper and chanted quickly. The lightening was rebounded back to it firer. But the man quickly leapt out of the way, landed on the ground and rolled to his feet. Then both Kai and the man took out another spell paper and both chanted. Lightening once again came from both and stroke, creating a large explosion. Once the smoke cleaned, Kai was standing victoriously and holding his opponent by the shirt. Then Kai said something that IceDevimon was able to read by the lips. Kai said," Goodbye father, with a devilish smirk. Then he raised his right hand, index and middle fingers out and pierced them through his father's throat.
The picture started to waver as Kai began to stir. The picture completely vanished as Kai woke up. He put on the same smirk as in his memory and said," That was one of my more happier memories." Then he reached into his right pants pocket and pulled out a gold locket with a blue rail and blue circle on the front. He opened it and looked at the family picture when he was around eight years old. He then put the locket away
The fake human smiled as he pulled out a loaf from the bag and said," I could tell." Then he took one big bit out of the bread, causing clumps to full to the floor.
"That fool actually thought he could help me, like I wanted any," Kai said smugly then made a gesture with his left hand and another loaf came flying out of the bag and into his hand.
"But it didn't work out the way he hoped," IceDevimon said.
"Of course not," Kai said then took a bite of out his loaf. After swallowing, his said," Then I wanted to tell my family about my fool of a father death and let them join him.
"But you mother already put up that spell, stopping you from entering," the fake human said.
"Yes," Kai hissed, tighten the grip on his bread. "But I meant up with my darling sister after she was cursed."
"Then why not just kill her then?" IceDevimon asked with a curious eye.
"Because of him," Kai hissed angrily and his grip tighten so much that he crushed the bread in his hand.
"You mean your sister's mate," IceDevimon said with just a hint of curiosity.
"Yessss, we fought and he broke through all of my spell and gave me a good hit to my stomach. That's when I realized if I was going to beat him, I would need to fight like he did and at his level," Kai said.
The room grow silent as Kai became lost in yet another one of his memories, but he snapped out of it quickly. He calmed himself down and looked at his partner.
"Enough talk about the olds, did you plant it?" he asked.
"Of course, I'm not some pathetic human idiot," IceDevimon said annoyingly.
"Well don't forget this pathetic human idiot controls your fate," Kai said sarcastically and then snapped his right finger.
The hidden collar under the fake human's neck tightened enough take his breathe away. IceDevimon hunched over as he gripped at his neck, trying to breath. Kai snapped his fingers again and icy fallen angel could breath again.
"What are you planning this time?" IceDevimon asked coldly as he straightened up.
"I'm not the kind of person to let my leak, besides you might screw it up, like usually," Kai said smoothly but coldly.
The icy digimon was out enraged by what was just said, but he kept his mouth closed.
(Nonaka household)
Rika was surprised to find an old brown leather book with none other then the black lightening blot crest on it. Just by the symbol on the book, the red furred Viximon knew it was something from her father, for the black lightening bolt was the family crest of he Smiths. So after a little work, Rika was able to open it and was surprised to find the poem from when her mother took her about the light of love. So she flipped through the pages the best she could and was surprised to find nothing but poems, probably all written by her father. But then a title caught her attention and she began reading.
Shadows of the past
& Lights of the future
The lights of the future are meant to guide us on our paths of life, but they are not without their rivals, the shadows of the past. The shadows of jealousy, anger, pride and depression are a danger to the futures of life, faith, destiny and love. The shadows live in the past and sometimes never leave us. And in time a shadow could defeat a light and that light could be lost forever.
Rika couldn't believe what she just read, because to her, it sounded like her own soul that was so cold so long again. But then her eye was once again caught by the poem right next to it.
Light of the future returning to a soul
A shadow of the past is strong and could stay with a person for life. But someone who has a life of the future in them and a caring heart can help defeat a shadow and bring back the light into a soulless person. But when a light is restored the person is confused and unsure of himself or herself. But if that light remains strong, the person quickly realized they're own action and would ask for remorse. In the end a light is emotion that can't be beaten.
Rika felt like crying because both of her father's poems sounded so much like her. But then she thought about the one person who brought out her light in a stream of never ending shadow. The one person who never gave up on her. Takato Matsuki
Then someone grabbed the book. Rika looked up to see Renamon looking at the book.
"You know he sounds a lot like you," she said without taking her eyes away from the book.
"Huh?" Rika looked confused. "What do you mean Renamon?"
Renamon took a sit as she said," Well it sounded from you father writing, he wasn't good at showing his feeling like you." So he wrote what he was feeling off of his chest. You should try it when you returned to normal." Then she gestures the cursed tamer to come and sit on her lap.
Decided what the heck, Rika went over and settle herself on her large partner's lap.
Renamon looked down at the little in-training with a smile and said," But I think this one really says a lot about him."
She then flipped through a few pages and began reading," The shadow within me. Sometimes I think I am cursed. All of my loved one always gets hurt of worse. So I walked the path of a shadow, never to darken other with my pain. Yet I help others who need it. But yet I have no friends. I think the heart is the greatest weapon. Yet I let no one in it. I walked among the shadows, yet I carry a light deep within me. I am totally cursed or do I just choice to be. Do I have a shadow within me or am I the shadow?"
Rika was staring forward, looking deep in thought. So Renamon was about to take her off of her lap when the cursed tamer spoke in a soft tone.
"I guess we're a lot alike."
"Hmm, yes lonely but truly not. Strong but truly not," Renamon said.
Rika smile sadly as she said," Sounds like something that should be in one of my dad's poems."
"Or one of your," Renamon said softly.
Rika opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find the right words, so she closed it. So Renamon put Rika down and set the book near her bed. Then she faded into the shadows.
(Later at night)
Night had already set in and everyone was either turning in for bed or was already in it. But hovering above the Matsuki bakery was an inhuman shadow, cast by the moonlight. With his arms folded across his chest, IceDevimon looked down at the small building with a smirk. Then he unfolded his arms and in his right hand was a talisman. It was circled shape with two men on it. The one on the right was on his hands and knees and the other one was standing with his hand over the other guys.
The icy fallen angel began chanting and the talisman began glowing a dark red color. IceDevimon chanting became louder and the glow of the talisman brightened. Soon the back door of the bakery opened and a inhuman figure stepped out. The figure closed the door and just stood there.
The icy digimon landed in front of Guilmon. But the virus-type looked off. Instead of his usually bright yellow eyes, they were a dark red.
IceDevimon brushed his clawed finger against the dinosaur's nose painfully, but he didn't cry out in pain. Guilmon just stood there lifeless.
"It would be so easy right now. But that pathetic human wants you live for something, so match!" the icy digimon order and began walking away with Guilmon following close behind.
(Nonaka household)
"RRRRRRREEEEEEEEENNNNNNAAAAAAAMMMMMMOOOONNNN," the ghostly voice of Kai said smoothly, waking Renamon.
The fox-type up from her bed and into her fighting stance, expecting Rumiko to rushed through the door at any moment.
"Only you can here me little fox."
"Alright I'm up, so what do you want?" Renamon spoke softly so not to wake Rika.
"Oh just to tell you that IceDevimon and myself have that digimon you little friend calls dinoboy."
"You have Guilmon," Renamon's concern filled voice rose a little, but not enough to wake Rika.
"Oh yes, he's waiting for at that Hpynos building with me and IceDevimon."
And without a moment hesitation, Renamon phased into shadow form and raced out of the house. She wasn't thinking clearly or she would have probably woken Rumiko or Miss Makino.
(.)
Kai was have a mental conversation with his partner, who wasn't with him at the time.
"I still say this plan of your isn't going to work," IceDevimon said coldly.
"Trust it is," Kai replied smoothly.
"And I say, I should just delete this goof ball and be done with this whole light of love nonsense," IceDevimon said with just a hint of anger in his voice.
"And I say we wait, or do I have to teach you a lesson?" Kai snapped his fingers and wherever, his icy friend lost his breathe.
"Al-right," the icy digimon spited out.
Kai grin in victor and snapped his fingers. And wherever IceDevimon was, he could breath again.
"One of these days when I'm free of your blasted spell, I will enjoy raping you apart.slowly," IceDevimon hissed in a low tone.
Kai was about to responded when Renamon appeared right in front of him. She looked calm, but Kai could see the anger burning brightly in those beautiful blue eyes of hers.
"Where's Guilmon?" She asked in a even angrily tone.
"Sorry, but you just missed him. IceDevimon took him to the park where he's going to be buried alive," Kai answer with a smooth sarcastic tone.
Renamon didn't responded to that, instead she started to phase out. But then she let out a small yelp of surprise as her body fully reappeared.
"Oh yes, I put a magical barrel around this entire roof, making escape a dream," Kai said in a sarcastically boosting tone.
Renamon stared at evil tyrant for a belief moment before getting into a fighting stance. She charged, but suddenly she had a hard time breathing. The fox-like digimon collapsed to her knees as she tried to take in some air. But it felt like someone holding her lungs in a tight grip.
Kai walked up to her and Renamon felt like that grip was getting tighter. He kneeled down and said in that smooth sarcastic tone of his," Another think I forget to you about, the barrel would drain the air straight out of your lungs if you about five feet close to me. So I could let you chock to death." Then he smirked. "But then where's the fun in that."
He then kicked Renamon in the face, sending her into the barrel, electricity shouting through her.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Renamon called out.
She fell from the barrel and Kai slowly walked over to her. He picked the panting Renamon up by her chest fur.
"So tell me where's that incredibly power light of love?" Kai asked sarcastically.
Renamon looked at him and managed to say," I.don't.need.it.to.beat.you."
Kai tightened his grip and smiled as Renamon moaned in pain. Then he felt something grip his wrist and squeezed it tighten. It was so tight that Kai lost his hold on Renamon's fur. Then he was nailed in the face, sending him flying through the air and crushed landed on is back. The twisted Makino looked up and see his sister, panting heavily as she helped Renamon up.
Kai got to his feet and angrily said," How did you know? I didn't send you my message."
Rumiko faced him and said firmly," No but I a little paranoid, I keep my senses alert even in my sleep."
"So you sensed me when left," Renamon said.
Rumiko nodded and said," Yes and I sensed the looming dark power in the air."
"So it doesn't matter, you both tripped now," Kai said in that smooth tone of his.
"So then I guess we just have to beat it out of you," Rumiko said firmly as she took up her usual fighting stance.
Renamon also got into her fighting stance. But Kai just folded his arms across his chest as a grin blossomed on his face.
"Oh but you can't darling little sister. If you get within five feet of me, the barrel would literally take you breath away," he said in his smooth sarcastic tone.
But Rumiko was silent. She just looked at her friends with her eyes and nodded to something behind Kai. The fox-like digimon notice what her cursed tamer's mother was pointing at and nodded.
Then both dashed off in opposite directions with Rumiko dashing to the right and Renamon on the left. Then both changed directions and ran straight towards Kai. But the twisted spell caster just stood there, knowing full well that if those two get within five feet of him, they were feel like someone was putting a clap on their lungs. But surprisingly the two fighters rushed pasted Kai and left him completely confused.
"Hey Kai," the smug voice of Rumiko called to him.
Kai spun around and what he saw made his mouth drop. Rumiko was half way through a door, waving at he mockingly and Renamon was nowhere in sight.
"Seems like you forgotten something else," she said sarcastically before disappearing through the door.
Kai was literally hopping mad. How could he have been so stupid to forget if there was a any kind of entrance, the barrel effect was useless in that spot? And the fox and his sister had sped themselves out, so they could within the five feet limit.
(The park)
In the park, IceDevimon was hading troubles of his own. Thanks to a certain white and purple digimon alerting a certain blue haired tamer with a loud mouth digimon about Guilmon being in danger, IceDevimon was up against Gagromon and Beelzemon: blast mode.
"So you think you can mass with pineapplehead and get away with it? Think again!" the biker look alike aimed his giant gun at the icy digimon. "Corona blaster!"
IceDevimon barely avoided the massive purple blast of energy, only to have Gagromon get in his face.
"So you want more, well have a helping of bunny pummel!" And thrust his green glowing guns up.
But IceDevimon flew back, avoiding the attack and then high into the air.
"Diamond storm!"
Startled the icy digimon looked up to see hundreds of diamonds showering him. IceDevimon want hurtling towards the ground where Rumiko meant him with a foot in the back. The icy fallen angel was send flying into a tree trunk. Holding his stomach, IceDevimon slowly and painfully rose to his feet. He wasn't ready to deal with three supped up digimon and a powerhouse of a human. So he took off flying with Gagromon, Henry and Beelzemon in hot pursuit. But Rumiko and Renamon stood behind. The fox rushed over and cut Guilmon free. He looked fine, no stretches or marks on him and that puzzled Renamon.
"Is he okay?" Rumiko asked as she joined her friend.
"Yes, but the odd thing is he's unharmed. So how did IceDevimon get him here?"
Rumiko walked behind the fallen digimon and yanked something off of his neck. "This is how." Then held up an all to familiar object. "One of Kai's mind controller. He must have put it on him somehow."
Renamon simply nodded, nearly over come with joy that Guilmon was all right and unharmed. But she hid it as usually. So she with Rumiko helped picked up Guilmon and then took him home.
Me: Well forks we're coming to the end. And be sure to read the summaries of the side story and sequel in the last chapter.
Rika (looking annoyed): So how are you planning of ending this one off?
Me: Now you know I don't spoil anything.
Takato: But I can't wait for the last one.
BlackRenamon: I have a feeling you don't have to wait long.
Rika (Looking irritated): All right I want to know about that ghost and I want it now.
Me (Facing her): By now you should know I don't spoil anything.
Takato: But that guy sure is weird.
Rika: Gogglehead you think anything is weird.
Takato (Blushing like crazy): Yeah well I umm."
BlackRenamon: Figures this guy turns red as a tomato anything the queen talks to him.
Me: Well when it's happens it happens.
Rika: Yeah, well not me.
Me (Rolling my eyes): Right.
Rika (Not liking that tone of voice): Hey what does that mean?
Me (Shrugs): Nothing.
Rika (Getting mad): Listen here, if you don't tell me now I really going to do something that would be you wish you were never born.
Me: Right. Now on with this chapter.

(The next day)
Things at the Matsuki's bakery had became a little crazy. With their only help unable to much that left the bread making couple all by themselves. So in the end Guilmon had decided to help out his tamer's parents. But things were still like a zoo. Luckily Renamon and Rika had dropped by and Renamon had volunteer to work too. But secretly she was overjoyed to be working by her secret love side, some goes for Guilmon. During that time both would look over at each other and then quickly looked away in embarrassment

Then Kai said something that IceDevimon was able to read by the lips. Kai said," Goodbye father, with a devilish smirk. Then he raised his right hand, index and middle fingers out and pierced them through his father's throat.
The picture started to waver as Kai began to stir. The picture completely vanished as Kai woke up. He put on the same smirk as in his memory and said," That was one of my more happier memories." Then he reached into his right pants pocket and pulled out a gold locket with a blue rail and blue circle on the front. He opened it and looked at the family picture when he was around eight years old. He then put the locket away
The fake human smiled as he pulled out a loaf from the bag and said," I could tell." Then he took one big bit out of the bread, causing clumps to full to the floor.
"That fool actually thought he could help me, like I wanted any," Kai said smugly then made a gesture with his left hand and another loaf came flying out of the bag and into his hand.
"But it didn't work out the way he hoped," IceDevimon said.
"Of course not," Kai said then took a bite of out his loaf. After swallowing, his said," Then I wanted to tell my family about my fool of a father death and let them join him.
"But you mother already put up that spell, stopping you from entering," the fake human said.
"Yes," Kai hissed, tighten the grip on his bread. "But I meant up with my darling sister after she was cursed."
"Then why not just kill her then?" IceDevimon asked with a curious eye.
"Because of him," Kai hissed angrily and his grip tighten so much that he crushed the bread in his hand.
"You mean your sister's mate," IceDevimon said with just a hint of curiosity.
"Yessss, we fought and he broke through all of my spell and gave me a good hit to my stomach. That's when I realized if I was going to beat him, I would need to fight like he did and at his level," Kai said.
The room grow silent as Kai became lost in yet another one of his memories, but he snapped out of it quickly. He calmed himself down and looked at his partner.
"Enough talk about the olds, did you plant it?" he asked.
"Of course, I'm not some pathetic human idiot," IceDevimon said annoyingly.
"Well don't forget this pathetic human idiot controls your fate," Kai said sarcastically and then snapped his right finger.
The hidden collar under the fake human's neck tightened enough take his breathe away. IceDevimon hunched over as he gripped at his neck, trying to breath. Kai snapped his fingers again and icy fallen angel could breath again.
"What are you planning this time?" IceDevimon asked coldly as he straightened up.
"I'm not the kind of person to let my leak, besides you might screw it up, like usually," Kai said smoothly but coldly.
The icy digimon was out enraged by what was just said, but he kept his mouth closed.
(Nonaka household)
Rika was surprised to find an old brown leather book with none other then the black lightening blot crest on it. Just by the symbol on the book, the red furred Viximon knew it was something from her father, for the black lightening bolt was the family crest of he Smiths. So after a little work, Rika was able to open it and was surprised to find the poem from when her mother took her about the light of love. So she flipped through the pages the best she could and was surprised to find nothing but poems, probably all written by her father. But then a title caught her attention and she began reading.
Shadows of the past
& Lights of the future
The lights of the future are meant to guide us on our paths of life, but they are not without their rivals, the shadows of the past. The shadows of jealousy, anger, pride and depression are a danger to the futures of life, faith, destiny and love. The shadows live in the past and sometimes never leave us. And in time a shadow could defeat a light and that light could be lost forever.
Rika couldn't believe what she just read, because to her, it sounded like her own soul that was so cold so long again. But then her eye was once again caught by the poem right next to it.
Light of the future returning to a soul
A shadow of the past is strong and could stay with a person for life. But someone who has a life of the future in them and a caring heart can help defeat a shadow and bring back the light into a soulless person. But when a light is restored the person is confused and unsure of himself or herself. But if that light remains strong, the person quickly realized they're own action and would ask for remorse. In the end a light is emotion that can't be beaten.
Rika felt like crying because both of her father's poems sounded so much like her. But then she thought about the one person who brought out her light in a stream of never ending shadow. The one person who never gave up on her. Takato Matsuki
Then someone grabbed the book. Rika looked up to see Renamon looking at the book.
"You know he sounds a lot like you," she said without taking her eyes away from the book.
"Huh?" Rika looked confused. "What do you mean Renamon?"
Renamon took a sit as she said," Well it sounded from you father writing, he wasn't good at showing his feeling like you." So he wrote what he was feeling off of his chest. You should try it when you returned to normal." Then she gestures the cursed tamer to come and sit on her lap.
Decided what the heck, Rika went over and settle herself on her large partner's lap.
Renamon looked down at the little in-training with a smile and said," But I think this one really says a lot about him."
She then flipped through a few pages and began reading," The shadow within me. Sometimes I think I am cursed. All of my loved one always gets hurt of worse. So I walked the path of a shadow, never to darken other with my pain. Yet I help others who need it. But yet I have no friends. I think the heart is the greatest weapon. Yet I let no one in it. I walked among the shadows, yet I carry a light deep within me. I am totally cursed or do I just choice to be. Do I have a shadow within me or am I the shadow?"
Rika was staring forward, looking deep in thought. So Renamon was about to take her off of her lap when the cursed tamer spoke in a soft tone.
"I guess we're a lot alike."
"Hmm, yes lonely but truly not. Strong but truly not," Renamon said.
Rika smile sadly as she said," Sounds like something that should be in one of my dad's poems."
"Or one of your," Renamon said softly.
Rika opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find the right words, so she closed it. So Renamon put Rika down and set the book near her bed. Then she faded into the shadows.
(Later at night)
Night had already set in and everyone was either turning in for bed or was already in it. But hovering above the Matsuki bakery was an inhuman shadow, cast by the moonlight. With his arms folded across his chest, IceDevimon looked down at the small building with a smirk. Then he unfolded his arms and in his right hand was a talisman. It was circled shape with two men on it. The one on the right was on his hands and knees and the other one was standing with his hand over the other guys.
The icy fallen angel began chanting and the talisman began glowing a dark red color. IceDevimon chanting became louder and the glow of the talisman brightened. Soon the back door of the bakery opened and a inhuman figure stepped out. The figure closed the door and just stood there.
The icy digimon landed in front of Guilmon. But the virus-type looked off. Instead of his usually bright yellow eyes, they were a dark red.
IceDevimon brushed his clawed finger against the dinosaur's nose painfully, but he didn't cry out in pain. Guilmon just stood there lifeless.
"It would be so easy right now. But that pathetic human wants you live for something, so match!" the icy digimon order and began walking away with Guilmon following close behind.
(Nonaka household)
"RRRRRRREEEEEEEEENNNNNNAAAAAAAMMMMMMOOOONNNN," the ghostly voice of Kai said smoothly, waking Renamon.
The fox-type up from her bed and into her fighting stance, expecting Rumiko to rushed through the door at any moment.
"Only you can here me little fox."
"Alright I'm up, so what do you want?" Renamon spoke softly so not to wake Rika.
"Oh just to tell you that IceDevimon and myself have that digimon you little friend calls dinoboy."
"You have Guilmon," Renamon's concern filled voice rose a little, but not enough to wake Rika.
"Oh yes, he's waiting for at that Hpynos building with me and IceDevimon."
And without a moment hesitation, Renamon phased into shadow form and raced out of the house. She wasn't thinking clearly or she would have probably woken Rumiko or Miss Makino.
(.)
Kai was have a mental conversation with his partner, who wasn't with him at the time.
"I still say this plan of your isn't going to work," IceDevimon said coldly.
"Trust it is," Kai replied smoothly.
"And I say, I should just delete this goof ball and be done with this whole light of love nonsense," IceDevimon said with just a hint of anger in his voice.
"And I say we wait, or do I have to teach you a lesson?" Kai snapped his fingers and wherever, his icy friend lost his breathe.
"Al-right," the icy digimon spited out.
Kai grin in victor and snapped his fingers. And wherever IceDevimon was, he could breath again.
"One of these days when I'm free of your blasted spell, I will enjoy raping you apart.slowly," IceDevimon hissed in a low tone.
Kai was about to responded when Renamon appeared right in front of him. She looked calm, but Kai could see the anger burning brightly in those beautiful blue eyes of hers.
"Where's Guilmon?" She asked in a even angrily tone.
"Sorry, but you just missed him. IceDevimon took him to the park where he's going to be buried alive," Kai answer with a smooth sarcastic tone.
Renamon didn't responded to that, instead she started to phase out. But then she let out a small yelp of surprise as her body fully reappeared.
"Oh yes, I put a magical barrel around this entire roof, making escape a dream," Kai said in a sarcastically boosting tone.
Renamon stared at evil tyrant for a belief moment before getting into a fighting stance. She charged, but suddenly she had a hard time breathing. The fox-like digimon collapsed to her knees as she tried to take in some air. But it felt like someone holding her lungs in a tight grip.
Kai walked up to her and Renamon felt like that grip was getting tighter. He kneeled down and said in that smooth sarcastic tone of his," Another think I forget to you about, the barrel would drain the air straight out of your lungs if you about five feet close to me. So I could let you chock to death." Then he smirked. "But then where's the fun in that."
He then kicked Renamon in the face, sending her into the barrel, electricity shouting through her.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Renamon called out.
She fell from the barrel and Kai slowly walked over to her. He picked the panting Renamon up by her chest fur.
"So tell me where's that incredibly power light of love?" Kai asked sarcastically.
Renamon looked at him and managed to say," I.don't.need.it.to.beat.you."
Kai tightened his grip and smiled as Renamon moaned in pain. Then he felt something grip his wrist and squeezed it tighten. It was so tight that Kai lost his hold on Renamon's fur. Then he was nailed in the face, sending him flying through the air and crushed landed on is back. The twisted Makino looked up and see his sister, panting heavily as she helped Renamon up.
Kai got to his feet and angrily said," How did you know? I didn't send you my message."
Rumiko faced him and said firmly," No but I a little paranoid, I keep my senses alert even in my sleep."
"So you sensed me when left," Renamon said.
Rumiko nodded and said," Yes and I sensed the looming dark power in the air."
"So it doesn't matter, you both tripped now," Kai said in that smooth tone of his.
"So then I guess we just have to beat it out of you," Rumiko said firmly as she took up her usual fighting stance.
Renamon also got into her fighting stance. But Kai just folded his arms across his chest as a grin blossomed on his face.
"Oh but you can't darling little sister. If you get within five feet of me, the barrel would literally take you breath away," he said in his smooth sarcastic tone.
But Rumiko was silent. She just looked at her friends with her eyes and nodded to something behind Kai. The fox-like digimon notice what her cursed tamer's mother was pointing at and nodded.
Then both dashed off in opposite directions with Rumiko dashing to the right and Renamon on the left. Then both changed directions and ran straight towards Kai. But the twisted spell caster just stood there, knowing full well that if those two get within five feet of him, they were feel like someone was putting a clap on their lungs. But surprisingly the two fighters rushed pasted Kai and left him completely confused.
"Hey Kai," the smug voice of Rumiko called to him.
Kai spun around and what he saw made his mouth drop. Rumiko was half way through a door, waving at he mockingly and Renamon was nowhere in sight.
"Seems like you forgotten something else," she said sarcastically before disappearing through the door.
Kai was literally hopping mad. How could he have been so stupid to forget if there was a any kind of entrance, the barrel effect was useless in that spot? And the fox and his sister had sped themselves out, so they could within the five feet limit.
(The park)
In the park, IceDevimon was hading troubles of his own. Thanks to a certain white and purple digimon alerting a certain blue haired tamer with a loud mouth digimon about Guilmon being in danger, IceDevimon was up against Gagromon and Beelzemon: blast mode.
"So you think you can mass with pineapplehead and get away with it? Think again!" the biker look alike aimed his giant gun at the icy digimon. "Corona blaster!"
IceDevimon barely avoided the massive purple blast of energy, only to have Gagromon get in his face.
"So you want more, well have a helping of bunny pummel!" And thrust his green glowing guns up.
But IceDevimon flew back, avoiding the attack and then high into the air.
"Diamond storm!"
Startled the icy digimon looked up to see hundreds of diamonds showering him. IceDevimon want hurtling towards the ground where Rumiko meant him with a foot in the back. The icy fallen angel was send flying into a tree trunk. Holding his stomach, IceDevimon slowly and painfully rose to his feet. He wasn't ready to deal with three supped up digimon and a powerhouse of a human. So he took off flying with Gagromon, Henry and Beelzemon in hot pursuit. But Rumiko and Renamon stood behind. The fox rushed over and cut Guilmon free. He looked fine, no stretches or marks on him and that puzzled Renamon.
"Is he okay?" Rumiko asked as she joined her friend.
"Yes, but the odd thing is he's unharmed. So how did IceDevimon get him here?"
Rumiko walked behind the fallen digimon and yanked something off of his neck. "This is how." Then held up an all to familiar object. "One of Kai's mind controller. He must have put it on him somehow."
Renamon simply nodded, nearly over come with joy that Guilmon was all right and unharmed. But she hid it as usually. So she with Rumiko helped picked up Guilmon and then took him home.
Me: Well forks we're coming to the end. And be sure to read the summaries of the side story and sequel in the last chapter.
Rika (looking annoyed): So how are you planning of ending this one off?
Me: Now you know I don't spoil anything.
Takato: But I can't wait for the last one.
BlackRenamon: I have a feeling you don't have to wait long.
