Henrika- Thanks to everyone who reviewed. This chapter is late and a bit short so I apologize in advance. Review! Oh and a warning, This is the part that has the suicide hints in it.

Disclaimer-Digimon isn't mine!

Chapter 2

Henry had gone straight home after the tamer's meeting and had locked himself in his room. The rest of the family had gone out to dinner and Suzie had managed to convince their parents that the digimon could come too. Henry went to his computer and pulled off the cover.

Hidden in the empty computer tower was a knife. Henry pulled it out and replaced the cover on his computer. The intricate green hilt moved onto a wickedly grooved steel blade. Henry had bought it when he decided to kill himself.

'Some friends I have.' Henry thought bitterly. "Takato has Jeri, Ryo has Rika, and Kazu and Kenta are inseparable friends. They don't need me." Henry said to the empty air. He slipped off his white wristbands and used one of them to bind his suicide note to the handle of the knife. He put the knife over his wrist and pressed the cold steel into his wrist. A thin red line appeared as he moved the blade swiftly across his wrist. It was then he suddenly realized he didn't have the heart to do it. "This isn't how it's going to end." He declared to himself.

And then he heard a noise on his balcony. He went outside and Renamon emerged with a look of shock on her face.

Henry put the knife in Renamon's paw saying, "Renamon, I want you to take this and keep it." Renamon nodded and closed her fingers around the blade.

Henry leaned over the balcony railing, refusing to look at the fox digimon. Renamon waited patiently.

'I never thought he would go this far to end it.' Renamon thought as she looked at the form with his head hung, looking down, and yet seeing nothing.

Finally Renamon noticed the boy had seemed to come to a resolution. "If I disappear in a few days you can show it to Rika. But not before then." Henry said with a pleading tone inflected in his voice, still refusing to look at Renamon.

"As you wish. You have done the right thing by not ending it like this Henry." Renamon said as she leapt off the balcony and disappeared into the night. Henry watched her until she was out of sight, then he returned to his room. He sat down and began furiously working at his computer.

After a few hours Henry's plan began to fall in place when he heard a knock on his door.

"Henry, let me in before Suzie gets me! I don't want to be Miss Pretty Pants again! Suzie wants Lopmon and I to model all her new doll clothes! Help!" Terriermon yelled outside the door.

"Oh Terriermon!" came Suzie's voice from down the hall.

Henry mentally shuddered at hearing about the Miss Pretty Pants Torture being threatened for his partner.

Henry quickly turned off his computer and came to Terriermon's rescue. Terriermon bounded into the room and Henry slammed the door behind him.

"What have you been doing all evening?" Terriermon asked his tamer.

"Nothing. You ready for bed?" Henry lied.

Terriermon believed him and said, "You bet." He lay down and instantly went to sleep.

Henry heard footsteps down the hall and stopped moving.

"Are you asleep Henry?" Henry's mom, Mayumi, asked through his door. He didn't respond so she went off to bed, thinking Henry had gone to bed early.

Henry waited until he was sure everyone in the Wong apartment was asleep. Then, he wrote two new notes and laid them and his D-power by his sleeping digimon.

"Goodbye Terriermon." Henry whispered. He opened the digital gate he had created on his computer and disappeared. The computer clicked itself off as the gate shut.
