Rainbow Wind: Can I help killing you?

Nightswift: *Glares at her evil muse* No!

Rainbow Wind: Why? *Whistles innocently*

Rainbow Wind: WAHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I want candy!

Chapter 17: Kisses and New Couples, Oh My!

"Come on you stupid monsters!" Estelle yelled happily getting into the momentum. [Dun ask me why she's so happy lol] She made a couple of silly faces at them and snickered as they growled angrily at her.

"Haha, what sillies you are, can't even catch little old me?" She giggled insanely and then screamed as one of them scooped her up and prepared to eat her. She struggled in it's grip for awhile and sagged her head.

"Eww.......it's mouth is gonna stink.......thank goodness it's wide enough for me to call Lightebidramon in there to bust my way out........"

Just then, two voices called out, "Gabumon!"

"Biyomon!"

"Go!" They called together.

Yamato and Kai had caught up with them.

"HEY! WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG!?" Estelle yelled at them, "I'M ABOUT TO GET EATEN HERE AND ALL YOU TWO DO IS TAKE YOUR TIME!"

Yamato muttered, "How ungrateful....." His digivice flashed.

"Oh yeah! Come on Metal Garurumon!" Estelle cheered happily.

"Gabumon warp digivolves to! Metal Garurumon!"

Metal Garurumon leaped into the fray and beat the crap out of the monsters in a second. Estelle began falling quickly and Kai seeing this, pushed Yamato to go catch her and whipped out the camera quickly. [-_-;; Not very Kaish...i know......]

BAM

Estelle landed on Yamato softly and lay there for a bit before getting up.

"Oww....." Yamato moaned softly, and glared at Kai, "What was the meaning of pushing me!?"

Kai had hidden his camera already and opened his eyes, "Well, she needed someone to catch her didn't she?"

"Then you could've caught her yourself!"

"Oh no, it's a waste of my energy......YEOWCH!" Estelle forced Kai on the ground and snarled, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN A WASTE OF YOUR ENERGY!?" She fumed.

"Uhh........heh............."

She got off Kai, walked over to Yamato and squatted down, "Thanks for helping me," she helped him up, "You okay?" [In case you guys haven't realized, Kai is taping all of this and he'll hide it when he needs to and I won't bother putting that in. And dun forget to reread chapter 15!]

"I guess..........but man the ground was rough.................." Yamato replied.

Estelle laughed, "Okay then," She put out her hands and began chanting in a strange language. Her hands glowed bright blue and Yamato was enveloped in a bright blue light.

"Huh? I dun feel painful anymore..........."

"Heh, it's a simple spell really."

"Cool! Can you teach me?"

"If you wanna, you must have magical powers to be a guardian after all," They began discussing magic enthusiastically and didn't notice Kai going through his footage.

"Kai, what are you doing?" Biyomon asked.

"None of your business, just a favor for a friend."

Biyomon flew up and looked at the film, "Hey, I didn't know you were a matchmaker too!"

"Nah, Crystalia forced me to......."

Biyomon thought back about the lessons Crystalia and Estelle had forced her into before she died and had to return to an egg, 'Ooh.......maybe Kai and Crystalia would be a good pair....." She snickered at the thought and went infront to discuss it with Estelle.

"Estelle-sama, Estelle-sama! I have something to tell you!"

Estelle looked up annoyed, "Oh Biyomon, please shush please, we're discussing something important."

Biyomon flew back pissed off, 'Well that sure went well...........hmph, I'm not gonna tell her, I'll just get the rest of the digimon's help.'

As they neared the spot, they saw a young boy waving to them.

"Huh? Where's Ray and Mariah?" Estelle wondered.

The boy ran up to them, "Wo de ming zi shi Ye Zong En, ni men de pen you zai wo de jia xiu xi" [My name is Ye Zong En, Your friends are at my house resting.]

"Really?" Estelle asked.

"Yes, me will take you there."

Yamato tapped Estelle's arm lightly and asked, "What did he say?"

"He said that his name is Ye Zong En and Ray and Mariah are at his house," she replied.

"So are we going?" Kai asked.

"I guess."

Gabumon and Biyomon ran up to talk to the digimon at the boy's feet, and looked up, "We don't understand a word!" Biyomon said unhappily and began to wail.

"Aww....................nevermind, I'll teach you Chinese."

The boy tugged her sleeve lightly, "Shall we go?"

"Sure!" She replied.

They followed the boy to his house and Mariah suddenly shrieked out, "RAY!!!!!!! YOU ARE SO DEAD!" And a loud smack followed.

"Uh oh.......what do you think Ray did while we weren't around?" Estelle suggested.

"I don't know........" They ran in the direction of Mariah's voice and were just in time to see Salamon run over Ray's head and kiss Mariah.

Estelle whipped her camera out to capture the moment and Biyomon *accidentally* sat on them.

"CUUUUTE!" Estelle whispered, "They were dating and we never knew that!"

Ray and Mariah got up both blushing like red tomatoes, to meet the eyes of Ray's teammate and they're friends.

"Aww..........we never knew!" Estelle said delightedly, "You really should have told us, it would have saved me the trouble of having to matchmake you if you had just told me you two were already together!"

Yamato nudged Estelle, 'Erm.........I don't think the kiss was deliberate...........'

'So? They kissed was and that was what matters!' Was her reply.

'..........'

"WE ARE NOT DATING, IN LOVE, HAVE CRUSH ON EACH OTHER OR ANYTHING!" Mariah screamed at Estelle angrily.

"Aww........don't be afraid to admit it, we saw the whole thing," Estelle told her comfortingly.

Mariah sighed and turned around to take a nap only to face Ray, they both turned bright red again, and Estelle and Kai whipped out their cameras.

Biyomon bumped Mariah gently and she fell into Ray's arms, out of the blue, she blurted out, "Aishiteru Ray.........."

Ray closed his eyes and once again took in the beautiful scent of her hair and clutched her tightly, "You too Kitty," He replied, using his pet name for her, "You too........"

Estelle sighed happily, 'How sweet!!!!!!!' She thought to Yamato.

Yamato only sweatdropped and tried to edge to the door but Estelle turned around, 'And just where do you think you're going?' She thought out sharply and handed her camera to Kai to continue taping for her.

Kai, sighed and sweatdropped.

Estelle followed Yamato outside, "Why did you leave?" She asked curiously putting her face close to his. [Ooh................kawaii............poor Kai...........Cryssie is gonna kill him...........kekeke]

"Because it's a waste of my time watching? And I don't like mushy stuff?" He replied coolly.

Estelle grumbled and jabbed her finger into Yamato's face, he gulped and began walking backward, "How can you say it was a waste of your time? It was sooooo sweet! But NO! You think it's a waste of your time! Well I tell you, you big insensitive lo-whoa!" She tripped over Salamon and Culumon playing tag[Yes, they've moved already, hey, Salamon couldn't stay there forever could he?] and fell forward, "Ahh!!!!" She squealed but was caught by Yamato.

Estelle immediately blushed a soft pink, "Thanks, Yamato-san......."

"No problem, why are you blushing?"

Estelle blushed even brighter and tried to get up, but her foot caught in a crack and she slipped even more, "Help?" She squeaked.

Yamato laughed and pulled her up with not much difficulty and blushed slightly at their close proximity.

And what do you know? Ray and Mariah just walked out with Kai tailing them behind and all three of them spotted Estelle and Yamato, and naturally, Kai directed his camera angle towards them cursing for not following them out.

Mariah snickered and together, under the pretence of walking around, she and Ray walked close to the two and pushed Estelle forward. Their lips met and they both turned bright red instantly.

'Damn that stupid Yamato, I've never kissed and I didn't want to!' Estelle wailed unhappily in her mind.

They stayed in that position for a moment blushing and a moment later, SMACK! Yamato was on the floor rubbing a brand new, bright red handmark on his cheek.

"Oops! Sorry Yamato-kun!" [Notice the change in the form of addressing? Kekeke *Is evil..........] Estelle rubbed the back of her head sweatdropping, "Just a reflex? Hehe.......it'll be all better in a second!" She rubbed her hands together but Yamato beat her to healing himself.

"OOH! You learned the spell so quickly!" She squealed happily seemingly forgetting that they had kissed and bounced over to Kai, "Did you get the footage?" She asked happily and giggled happily as Kai passed her the video camera for inspection.

Yamato gazed at her, 'Did she forget already...............?'

'Of course not silly,' Estelle replied in his mind, 'But we better keep quiet or Ray and Mariah, and Crystalia and the rest will NEVER let us live it down............'

'True............' he sighed, feeling slightly down, and wondered why....

"Hey Estelle!" Mariah began brightly, "I had nooooooo idea you liked Yamato and you two were already going out! You should have told me!"

"Hoe? Moi? Going out with Yamato? What gives you that idea?" Estelle cocked her head curiously at Mariah.

"Don't try to wriggle out of this one," Ray told her, "We saw the two of you embracing, we just helped you get on with the show a bit more quickly..........."

Estelle snapped her head up from the video camera, "Ah! So it was you who pushed me! I was wondering who did that!"

Ray shrugged, "You can't blame me, Mariah did it and, all we did was help you get over it more quickly, you were about to kiss him anyway," he and Mariah walked out to find Zong En and his brother to go on.

Estelle and Yamato glared the daggers at their backs, "WE WERE NOT!"

****

Nightswift: Haha, happy? Hehe, I was kinda trying NOT to make them kiss..........but Ray and Mariah came out just at the right time! So how could they not resist!? Heh But........i'm still not happy.... Wahh Oops! Estelle's coming back! HIDE!
