A/N: ok well here's chapter four finally I'm so sorry it took so long but I've had a lot of stuff I had to deal with. Thanks for the reviews and on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon Tamers, Toei Animation, or anything else that created Digimon.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Last time: "Yes and no. You see Rika not everyone loses that faith some keep it and others get so caught up in life or grief that they forget or don't want to remember they have it. But your right in the way that many people do lose it." Gennai said with a sad smile. "But it's getting near lunch you should find some food I'll be back later." With that he just vanished.

Takato, Henry, Roy and Rika stood, as did the others and they all got to work finding wood and food for everyone.

Now chapter five…

Everyone was now eating and or talking while they waited for Gennai's reappearance. Rika sat under a tall tree with Renamon eating some fruit they had found and talking quietly.

"So, how have you been Renamon? I've really missed you…" Rika said taking a bite of the purple fruit in her hand.

"Good, I've been training with Cyberdramon as much as possible…" she answered looking at her tamer. "I missed you as well Rika." Rika smiled at the fox like digimon knowing that for the first time in two years they were both truly happy.

"I wanted to tell you about this weird dream I had last night…" Rika started but was interrupted by Jeri's voice yelling

"Hey you two! Gennai is back come on!"

"OK. Come on Renamon I can tell you later." Rika said as Renamon helped her up. As Rika and Renamon came over and sat down on the grass Gennai began to talk again.

"Now that you've all eaten and reacquainted your selves with your digimon I think it's time to give you your new looks…and before you ask I can't have the tamers running around in those clothes… don't get me wrong but since the last time you were here the digital world's climate has changed quite a bit and those just won't do so…I'll start with…Takato stand up." He listened and stood.

Gennai pointed at Takato and his clothing suddenly changed. His gray shorts grew into full-length baggy pants, his shirt turned into a tight, red, long sleeved shirt without a hood, and he had a metal plate covering part of his arm and chest.

"Next …Henry if you would please…"

Henry did as told and just like before Gennai pointed and poof he was now wearing long brown pants, a tight, green, long sleeved shirt and a metal arm brace.

After a few minutes everyone but Ryo and Rika had 'New looks'.

Jeri wore baggy black jeans, white long sleeved shirt that like everyone else's was tight fitting and metal shoulder pads.

Susie wore baggy blue fabric pants, a green top and the same metal shoulder pads as Jeri.

Kazu now wore beige pants, a blue top and Kenta wore white grayish pants, and the same top as Kazu both also had metal chest plates.

"Now just you two, alright Ryo you first." Ryo stood and like the others his clothes changed just like that, he now stood wearing gold color pants longer then before, a red shirt like Takato's and not only a chest plate but also his old arm brace and scarf.

"And now last but not least… Rika if you would."

As she stood Rika felt all eyes on her. Suddenly she felt warm and cold at the same time and as she looked down she saw how different she truly looked… her cut off's turned into silver baggy pants, a tight white shirt, her old steel toe boots, a scarf, and the same armor as Ryo and the other girls. Her shirt fit her body with perfection and the armor seemed so light like it was not real. "This is amazing." She said in awe, "But may I ask just one question?"

Gennai smiled. "Rika I believe that was one question… but yes you may ask."

Rika rolled her eyes and started; "Well why exactly do we need new clothes and armor we didn't need it before so why now?" the others nodded once she had finished all thinking the same.

"And why have you only just now showed us that you're here? We really could have used your help with the d-reaper the last time." Henry added knowing that fact was also bothering some of the others.

"Well first to answer your question Rika, the new clothes will have meaning in time but for now they will keep you cool or warm according to the weather, and the armor will protect you. And as to the question of showing myself… we here in the digi-world feel every generation must prove themselves though we did not know how difficult the battle would be you all surpassed our believes…"

"And what were your believes that we would die cuz some of us almost did actually the whole world was almost destroyed! That was some test… what was goin' through your heads 'Oh I have an idea for a test lets release a creature that we know almost destroyed the digital world once before and see if they can stop it!" Rika shouted with disgust as she stood in anger moving to hit the older man and was quickly stopped by two strong arms around her waist.

"Rika calm down." Ryo whispered holding as tight as he could.

"Let go of me Akiyama!" She screamed struggling in his grasp "He and whoever else he's talkin' about almost got us all KILLED. And now I think he should know what it's like to be an inch form death! LET ME GO!"

Ryo turned away from the others, "We'll be right back Rika needs to calm down."

Susie stood, "I'll come with."

"No Susie that's not a good idea stay here ok." With that Ryo carried Rika to a safe distends and set her down. "Ok Rika calm down now or we aren't going back over there." Ryo said calmly removing his chest plate "Go ahead we both know you wanna hit someone so hit me. I'm sure there's only one place you could hit that would really hurt so go ahead and punch away." Rika immediately took the offer and started to hit not even thinking what she was doing and Ryo just stood and let her hit till she had calmed down.

Once her anger was gone Rika looked at her punching bag. "You stupid ass."

"Feel any better Rika." Ryo smiled behind a cut on his lip she nodded and they started back to towards their friends.

As they got close Rika noticed some blood running down Ryo's cheek from a large cut under his eye, with out thinking she untied her scarf and used it to wipe the blood off. At the touch Ryo jumped slightly. "You're bleeding."

"It's ok."

"No its not. It's my fault, me and my stupid temper. Look I'll help you clean up after I help make camp."

"You don't have to do that. I'm a big boy I can take care of myself."

"Look if anything let me help for my sake." She once again wiped some blood off his face as he gave her a look of confusion "my sensei is teaching me to forgive as well as trust. If we're gonna be stuck in the digital world again the least I can do is try to be friends with everyone including you and the idiots right, well let me try ok." He nodded in approval as they neared the others. "What is everyone lookin at? You're acting like I'm gonna kill someone."

A/N: so what do you think once again sorry it took so long and thanks again for the reviews I'll have another chapter up soon ttyl !
