IceQueen: Wow. This has taken me a really long time to write. Sorry about
that. I have been really busy. *sweatdrop* Hope it was worth it.
Chapter Two
"Hello, Mrs. Nonaka. Is Rika home?" The woman nodded to Ryo and Jeri.
"She should be up in her room."
"Thank you," Jeri said politely and she hurried upstairs, Ryo following. Rika's room was empty. "She has to be here. She asked me to come over. I just talked to her on the phone."
"Look at this," Ryo said, pointing. Jeri turned to see that Rika's phone was off the hook as if she had dropped it.
"Weird."
"What's even weirder is that it looked like the rug was singed."
Jeri knelt down beside him. "I hope Rika's okay."
***
"I'll join you," Rika said, hoping that she was making the right decision.
The digimon smiled. "I thought that you would see it my way. Now, you need to learn to control your gift."
"I can control it," Rika snapped.
"That was one instant. When it is a life or death situation, things are always different. You need to use your gift when you are not in danger."
"But I did it before! In front of my friend!" Rika objected.
"Yes, but you had a little help from me." Kasaiomon smiled. "Like I said before, you need to learn to control the flames on your own." Before Rika could comment, he added. "First, you need to clear your mind. Close your eyes and concentrate." Rika did as she was told, trying to think of nothing but the images of her so called friends keeps coming back to haunt her. She frowned slightly as anger boiled up inside her. "You're not concentrating."
"I'm trying," she said through gritted teeth. She closed her eyes again 'Okay, Rika. You can do this. You told Ryo how you felt. You should be able to do this." She let out a small laugh.
"Lady Kaen, clear your mind," the digimon said, a tone of annoyance in his voice.
"My name is NOT Lady Kaen," Rika snapped, beginning to lose his temper. "And like I said, I'm trying."
"Well try harder."
'Clear you mind. Come on Rika,' she told herself. She could feel her frustration and anger melting away.
"Then concentrate on your gift." Rika nodded and raised her hand, thinking only of leaping flames and the dancing fire. Her eyes snapped open as she heard the cackle of flames. "Very good," the digimon said, staring the small fire. "Now, can you control it?" Rika nodded and closed her eyes again, this time imagining a wave of fire washing over the digimon. She heard an indignant cry as Kasaiomon yelled at Rika. "The object of this is not to kill me!" he said. He waved his hand and the fire disappeared.
Rika smirked. "I can't be perfect all the time." She flashed a smug grin but immediately felt faint. "What's happening?" She said, trying not to fall on her knees.
"You overused your power, Lady Kaen. You are weakening. You need rest."
"I'm fine," Rika lied.
"If you say so. Shall we try again?" Rika nodded, once again clearing her mind and thinking only of her gift. A small fire materialized in front of her. She smirked again and fainted.

Ryo and Jeri both spun around as something entered Rika's room. Jeri gave a relieved sigh as she saw it was only Renamon. "Wait, Renamon, why are you here?" She asked.
"Rika is in trouble. She is being held captive by Lord Kasaiomon in the digital world."
"We have to save her!" Ryo cried.
"I know. That is why I am here. I need your help along with the other digidestined."
"We'll do it," both said together.
***
An hour later, Jeri, Ryo, Takato, Henry, Kenta, and Kazu were all sitting outside Guilmon's old hideout.
"We can't just march in to his lair or whatever. That's just stupid," Henry pointed out.
"We don't have much other choice," Ryo objected.
"I agree with Henry. Just going through the main entrance is bound to get us killed," Jeri added. "But there is bound to me some other entrance."
"But first we have to find his hideout," Takato replied, smiling at Jeri who blushed in return. "I say we go into the digital world and find where she is and then decide on how we are going to get in."
"I agree with Ryo," Kazu said randomly.
"Okay. Let's go with Takato's plan," Henry answered. "I don't trust Kazu judgment." Kazu gave an annoyed cry in return and Takato laughed.
"Okay. It's settled then."

Rika opened her eyes slowly and winced at her splitting headache. She was in a dark room and the only light was coming from a lantern of a table beside her bed. "Where am I?" she asked. The image of what had happed earlier flashed before her eyes. How long had it been? An hour? A day? A week?
"Good your up." She turned to see-
"Renamon?"
The digimon shook her head. "I am FireRenamon. Milord is awaiting your presence." Rika raised an eyebrow. "I shall lead you to him." Rika nodded and leaped out of her bed, noticing that she was wearing fire red robes. The digimon led her to the hall where she first met Kasaiomon. "Milord, Milady is up."
"Milady? I'm Rika. Not Milady or Lady Kaen," she snapped but her comment went ignored.
"Good. It is time for your fighting lesson and then we shall give you pyrokinesis another try."
"Is that what it's called?"
He nodded. "I want you to meet FlameAngemon." A human angel digimon appeared next to him. He looked much like Angemon but in red. He nodded to her. "He shall teach you the art of hand-to-hand combat." He turned and stood by the wall. "You can begin." FireAngemon flashed her an eerie smile. Rika kept her face straight and they both bowed. He grinned and immediately turned and kicked her hard in the stomach.
Rika stifled a yell as she was thrown against the wall. "I thought you were supposed to be teaching me not murdering me!"
"What better way to teach than to show you how it is done?" He replied, smirking. She glared at him and stepped forward. This time he tried a punch and she caught his fist. It was her time to smirk as she kicked him sharply in the stomach. He winced slightly as aimed a kick at her legs, trying to trip her. She leaped up gracefully and tried another kick to his face. With startling speed, he grabbed her leg and threw her against the wall. She winced, groaning, as she crashed into the wall. A wave of fury and humiliation washed over her. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She heard a grunt as a wall of fire separated her and the fire digimon. "Two can play at this game." The digimon flew up towards the ceiling and gave her another eerie smile. "Pyro wing storm!" (ACK! Running out of attacks from all my RPGs and storied. Lol. Oh well) Rika raised her hand and the wall of fire froze a foot from her head. The heat was overwhelming and beads of sweat lined her forehead.
'Okay. Just send it back to him.' She pushed and to her dismay, her hold only weakened. She let out a cry and fell to her knees. 'I won't let him win.' She tried to clear her mind of her frustration and lethargy but the wall was lowering, each second an inch closer. With the last of her strength, she pushed the fire toward her right and rolled to the left. She heard a roar as the invisible shield shattered. That was the last thing she remembered as everything faded to black.

IceQueen: What do you think? Like it? As you can tell, I know nothing of fighting. Oh well. It's not the most important part. The next chapter is mostly on the other tamers so yeah...
