Diclaimer: I didn't make... di di di di digimon.. nerr nerr nerrrrr nernerner nerr ner...

I want to say in advance that there are NO biblical references at all in this story. Never. It just so happened that the way I was thinking.. that would just look cool, is all. You'll see why in chapters to come, if you can imagine it like I try to write it ;o;

Thunder.

Takato runs through a murky puddle.

He moves his digivice left and right, looking for the digimon's signal. 'Because when I find that digimon...' Lightning cracks in the background. 'I'll find Rika.'

Beep.

Takato slows down.

Beep. Beep.

He turns a little to the right. A window pops up from his D-arc. "Redeniusmon." He reads. "A mega.." Takato punches the air. "Al-RIGHT! Redeniusmon, I'm gonna come in that..."

He looks up. His digivice is pointing at a Crispy Creme. "..donut shop and kick your ass!"

A Crispy Creme sign in the window lights up.

"Free donuts!" Takato sprints to the store.

"Rika," Takato calls. "Rika, are you here?"

"Takato..?"

He smiles. "There you are!"

"Takato..."

"Not Takato.." A voice purrs.

"Who.." Rika's vision clears slowly. "...Jeri?"

"Hello Rika."

"Mmm.." Rika shakes her head. Her thoughts are muddy. She looks around. Cars are strewn around a greasy dump. Fluid leaks from a pile of trash to a puddle in the center of the lot. "Where are we?"

She tries to move, but she's chained up, her arms tied to either side of the make-shift cross. "Hey!"

Jeri cackles.

Rika glares at her. "I suppose you're not going to help me."

Jeri sneers. "That's right."

"If this is about Takato, you can have him."

Jeri's face drops. "..what?"

"You heard me, take him," Rika smirks. "Both of you are dirty, ugly, and have small penii, so you sort of belong together." She shrugs. "Who am I to keep wankers apart?"

Jeri's face flashes red. "You stupid bitch!" She attacks Rika, punching her in the head repeatedly. The hits sting Rika's face.

Takato.. Takato, help me!

"Jeri!"

Ryo runs across the lot and pulls Jeri off of Rika.

"That bitch!" Jeri cries. "She..she..."

"Jeri, calm down," Ryo says, loosening his grip on her.

Rika spits out some blood. She wipes her mouth on her sleeve. "You hit like a girl."

"You!" Jeri screams, jumping at Rika again.

Ryo holds her back. "Don't push her, Rika, you can't defend yourself."

Rika scowls. "I wouldn't need to defend myself if your girlfriend would grow up."

Jeri stops kicking. She and Ryo look at each other. "..."

"Get off of me!" She struggles against him. He lets go. Jeri pushes him away from her and moves back.

She points at Rika. "You stopped liking Takato because you know he won't have you. You had your chance and you lost it like the fool you are. You don't know how lucky you were to have someone love you so much! To have two people love you so much!" She begins to sob. "Leomon.. why couldn't you just love me!? So what if we were two different species.. it could have worked..."

Her breathing slows and she relaxes a little. She adjusts her clothes. "..I don't know what men see in such a heartless slut."

Meep. Meep.

"Takato's here." Jeri flashes a grin. "I should go greet him."

She takes a few steps and glances over her shoulder. "Bye Rika!"

She giggles and runs away.

Ryo watches her leave. It's silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry." Ryo looks at Rika. "I shouldn't have left you alone with her."

Rika stares at the ground.

Ryo approaches her slowly. "I still love you."

He touches her cheek and leans in to kiss her. She turns her head. Ryo frowns. His hand drops to his side. "I can't stop thinking about you. How did this happen to us?"

Rika doesn't say anything.

Ryo kisses her cheek. "I'm sorry.." He starts to walk away.

"When you look at me... it's like you're raping my soul."

Ryo stops. "Rika..." He shakes his head. "..he will never love you like I do."

Ryo kicks a piece of scrap metal out of his way as he leaves.

A gust of wind blows.

Rika's bottom lip quivers and she bites it. A tear streams down her face.

"Hello?" Takato looks around. The store is deserted. Some dusty furniture is piled up in the corner. The scent of fresh pasteries fills the air.

Takato inhales. "Yum.."

He walks around the bare conveyor belt. "Donuts, where are you.." The ovens, drawers, and counters are all empty. He opens a door and peeks in. "Donuts?"

Guilmon is tied to a pole in the center of the room. He kicks the floor. "Takato, help me!"

"Guilmon!" Takato runs to his partner and unties him. "Who did this to you?"

"Me." A voice comes from behind him.

"It was her!" Guilmon wails. "She touched me!"

Takato turns around. "Who are you?"

Guilmon thrashes around. "Noo! Don't ask that!"

"Ai to seigino! Digi fuku bishoujo senshi! Clitmon wa!"

"Not again!" Guilmon covers his ears.

"Tsuki ni kawatte, oshiokiyo!" She points at Takato.

"Eh..."

"She hasn't stopped saing that since she abducted me!"

"Shut up!" Clitmon kicks Guilmon.

"Ouch!"

"Guilmon!" Takato kneels down next to him. He glares at Clitmon. "You stupid cooter."

Clitmon leers at Takato. "What... did you.. say..?"

"Clitmon," Jeri barks. "Don't touch him."

Clitmon opens her mouth to say something, but closes it again. She frowns.

"Jeri, what.." Takato breathes.

"My family owns this place." She says cooly, pulling a donut from a cupboard.

Takato drools.

"All the donuts I want." She takes a bite. "Mmm..."

Takato stumbles towards her, his mouth wide open.

Jeri looks at the donut. "Oh, you want this?"

Takato shakes his head.

She waves it in front of his face. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

He moves closer. "Uh-huh!"

She pulls the pastery closer to her face. "Are you sure?"

He follows the donut. "Mhmm..."

She kisses him.

Blush. He breaks away. "Jeri.. what are you..." Takato stammers.

She pulls his head in and kisses him violently. He pushes her off. "Stop!" He shakes his head and backs away. "I have to find Rika."

"Rika, Rika, Rika," a voice mimics. "Is she all you think about?"

The voice sounds like Jeri's, but her lips are still.

Takato slowly reachers for his D-arc. "No.."

Jeri pulls her puppet-clad hand from her pocket. "Ah, ah," the puppet says. "Boys aren't supposed to hurt girls."

Jeri smiles. She takes a tazer out of her other pocket and shocks Takato into unconciousness.

What's to become of Rika? Is Jeri's puppet really alive? Or is she just that crazy? She was in a mental hospital before, it's entirely possible. Just like me :D

Ahaha man, Jeri and Leomon forever. I was so pissed off that I couldn't remember who I wanted to make Jeri be in love with, but then I got a picture of Leomon carrying Jeri around and I remember. Mwhahaha..
