~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't say anything. Not a word was uttered as we drove back to Ray's hideout in silence. I glanced at Gyo. He was staring out of the window of the car, but I could see his reflection in the glass window. His brow was furrowed and his eyes distant, holding sadness in it. They were dark blue, darker than Ray's azure blue eyes. There were greyish specks in his iris, reflections of bitterness and weakness...
I looked away. Maybe this male human was not too bad after all. Perhaps he was just ignorant of today's trap. But then again, I could have been mistaken. He blinked in slight shock when he saw my reflection in the glass window as I looked at him. Then his head tilted downwards slightly, his fringe covering his eyes, the windows to the soul, closed now to me. I pretended to avert my gaze to something else. Ray's hand blocked my view of him as she slide the car into reverse and backed up into the parking lot, halting only slightly but with upmost ease into the space inbetween the tight parallel walls, as she had done many times.
She got out of the car and closed the door. Gyo stepped out still looking at the floor. I heard him breathe out a breath much more heavy than usual. When he looked up, all traces of his weakness just now had vanished like a snowflake in a summer afternoon. ((Oh, okay, Ray just said over my shoulder that it wasn't an appropriate way to mention how quick his facial expression changed. Living in the digiworld for a few years does get one out of touch of the real world doesn't it?)) With cold eyes as dreary as the sight of the collapsed apartments, he waited while Ray opened the locks of her place. She fumbled with her keys for a second as she locked the car's door then keyed in the number to open the gates. I could not say I was not eager to be 'home'. After all, I felt like I had rolled in layers of dust. Okay, technically I just had after battling the monster, but that's not my point.
I blinked my eyes rapidly to get some dirt out and shook my head. Oh no, I felt a small itch coming up my nose.
"CHEEEZ!" I erupted into another sneezing fit. Great just great.
Ray held back another chuckle I could tell, her face was more etched with concern than amusement.
"Erm, make yourself at home Gyo. I'll tend to IcePokomon..." Her voice trailed off as she let me down on the floor while she went into her room to grab a spare towel. Gyo plopped himself right into the couch awith a 'poof' sound. I stared as he let out a deep sigh, leaned back and... flipped the television on. It occured to me (as it does right now) that Ray and Gyo were similar in some way. Other than gender differences, they hide their feelings behind curtains of deception and they weren't exactly sociable. Their eyes told a similar story of mistrust in others and under developed social skills. Still that Gyo person needs what humans call 'getting a life'. Yeah? Ray already has one at least. Me. Off course.
"And Gyo, making youself at home doesn't mean ransacking any of MY stuff. Just the food and beverage department got it? That includes NOT messing the place up." Ray's voice rang from her room as she paused in midsentence, like she was distracted by something. Technically it was an unneccessary statement, but I identified she was trying to lighten up the mood. Of course, humans like any other creature, get tense after facing death, including myself. I felt as if my data had almost been rattled out of me. But see my point, she HAS a life, Gyo does not. (OW! you did not have to hit my head Ray!)
"IcePokomon, you'd like a bath won't you?"
"That would be much appreciated Ray." I thanked her and lept towards the bathroom. Indeed I was moving much faster now. Thank goodness. The marble floor was cold. Really cold. I stepped onto the anti-slip rubber mat in the bathroom waiting for Ray, thankful that my belly was not near the cold floor any longer. I waited.
"Ray?" I called, wondering what she was up to.
"Coming..." Came the quick reply as she came back with a furry towel that she placed on the metal towel rack nearby. I smelled medicine on her. Was she hurt? Or had she been attending to Gyo? I certaintly did not need medicine. Perhaps I did. I do not know.
"Okay! Let's get you cleaned up!" She rolled back the sleeves of her white long sleeved shirt and picked me up from the floor to rest next to the sink, standing on marble the colour of pale cream. I tried not to sneeze again.
"Cheez!" Too late.
"I'm going to bathe in the the sink again am I correct?"
"Well yes?" Ray answered, stil looking expectantly at me.
"You said last night I would only bath in the sink once." I pointed out.
"I was wrong then." She admitted and turned on the tap to fill the sink basin with water.
"Just this last time..." I muttered, standing by the edge of the sink and watching the water level in the sink rise. The bubbled created by the jettison force of the tap appeared and disappeared quickly, but it was something nice to gaze at. I mean, considering I was in quite a bad state. Yes bad, when one is covered with beautiful pale blue fur and silver fur and having being thrown and tumbled across layers upon layers of ancient dust nearly turning black, it is considered a very bad state already. I looked more like a blue soccerball covered in mud, only caked in dust. (Great, now Ray is just standing behind laughing her head off. I meant it figuratively.)
"Can you close the door Ray?" I asked quietly. She complied and while glancing out yelled, "Gyo, can you be nice and help me mop that black trail off the floor?"
I winced slightly, so I had left that black trail on the floor. Fine. But I couldn't do anything about it.
"You should ask Pokomon to clean it off herself." Gyo replied as he got up from the comfortable couch unwillingly.
"Does it look like she can hold a mop? Be NICE. Thank you."
"Mmf! Welcome." He responded hesitantly. I could not see him from my angle of vision.
"For your information I happened to save your tail back there." I added snidely.
"Humans don't have tails stupid digimon." He argued.
"Alright, enough both of you."
Ray closed the door shaking her head slightly. I slid into the water and tried to rub what I could off my fur. It was not much. Ray helped as she latheed up the soap, slding her fingers through my fur and getting the clumps of black dirt off. It was a huge relief to me. But the water got a murky grey really quickly with black dirt clumps floating around the water. Ray rinsed me through the water over and over again. Using a new batch of water of course and soon I was light blue again, the colour of the afternoon sky. I looked and the mirror and turned to my side, making sure that all the dirt was off. A small smile crept onto my face.
"When you're done with grinning like an idiotic furball..." Ray commented as she grabbed the towel and dried my fur. I only flashed her another smile. It was GOOD to feel clean.
"Ray..."
"Yea?" She whispered as she ruffled the fur on my tail.
"Are you injured?" I asked, concerned. Yes I definitely could smell the medicine on her. The kind used for external injuries.
"No. Not really. yes." She answered quite haltingly, trying to dodge the subject.
"I will not laugh." I said quite solemnly.
"Yes, but it is minor and..." She burst into laughter, seeing my appearance. 'Whaaaat?' was what rang through my mind.
"You're such a cute thing." She smiled, as I gazed into her eyes. She stopped. And her blue eyes looked at me again. Only deeply. Yes. I liked the way she looked. Her golden hair, her eyes like the ocean and the sky. Her pure pale skin. I loved her. I had always loved her all my life. How could I not?
"Ray I..."
"Ray, I've finished the mopping and.." Gyo's muffled voice came from outside.
Our eye contact broke as she looked up suddenly on instinct but the door was closed. The moment was gone like the wind.
"Yea, go help yourself to a bite if you want!" She snapped, equally as irritated as I was. If I were in IceRenamon mode, and if Ray had allowed, I could have Diamond-storm blasted him right there and then. Okay, perhaps my crystalline attack would damaged her marbled floor.... Fine. She gave me a quick rub down when I heard a small beeping sound...
"Dee-deet!"
"Huh?" We both uttered at the same time when my form suddenly flared outwards suddenly. I could feel the power surging through my body as my vision grew keener and from a taller point of view. The room seemed to shrink suddenly around me as I evolved without much warning and expectation to IceRenamon form.
"Whoa!" Ray gave a yelp as she fell backwards. My tail splashed water from the sink into the air. I tried to grab hold of her before she fell but tripped over the rubber mat and fell alongside her. In a messy tumble of human and blue fur. I opened my eyes slowly and saw her large blue eyes staring back at me. I had landed on top of her.
"YOu have beautiful eyes." I muttered and then jumped to my feet when Gyo suddenly opened the door.
"What's going... Ray! You alright? What did... AHHH!" He gave a surprised cry when he saw me. I was quite shocked on what had happened if I might say so myself.
Ray gave a soft moan and sat up, rubbing the back of her head.
"Ray are you alright?" Gyo asked and reached towards her.
I got there first with my heightened skills. I appeared beside her and helped her up with a concerned look written all over my face.
"Ray... I'm sorry I..." I tripped over the words. ARGH! Why did Gyo have to be around. I could not speak naturally to Ray when he was around. I just could not. She was half wet as so was my tail. She gripped a hand to her forehead for a moment as her colour turned pale a moment then her cheeks flushed with colour again. Only she was blushing slightly...
"I'm okay now Gyo. I'm alright. I'm alright. Just let me clean up this mess. Both of you, out. NOW." She gave Gyo a small shove. I stayed by her side. Something was wrong. I was sure I could smell...
"You too Renamon, out. Just for this moment please." She stressed, then winced again.
As much as I hated to leave her, I obliged. As soon as I had stepped out, she had closed the door behind me. I flicked my partially wet tail slightly, dripping droplets of water on the floor. Clean waer mind you. Gyo gave me a glare but this time I could counter it with my own slitted digimon eyes. We stood there staring at each other for a few moments like children in a backyard showdown. 'Anti-slip mat... yea right. It was SO efficient.. NOT!'
"Did you attack her back there?!" He quetioned, eyes narrowing as he became suspiscious of me.
"WHAT?!" I cried aghast that he would actually think of such a thing. NEVER! I repeat. Never will I attack Ray. Never. Ever. NOT in my WHOLE LIFE! NO!
"No! It was an accident! I just happened to digivolve and..."
"And what? I saw how fast you moved, You could have caught her in time if..."
"I was half evolved at that point of time and with no time to even move..."
"Both of you! Enough!" Ray called from inside in admonishment. I stopped then tilted my head when I heard her fast breathing. The kind of sound one makes when in much pain and breathing harshly through clenched teeth. I could hear it through the door. She was in pain. I closed my eyes, wondering what to do. It was indirectly her order that she wished me to stay out of the matter.
"Ray?! Are you alright in there?" Gyo knocked on the door. There was no reply. It was locked.
Honestly, I tried not to scare the male human back then, but I definitely saw him turn pale as well when I stated, "I smell blood." And I did. A strong metallic smell. My concern started to rise again. My own inner voice suddenly felt very small an vulnerable. 'Ray?'
