CHAPTER SIX: OLD FEELINGS RETURNING
It was the other second nighttime in the week: Friday night. It was nearly midnight and while other people slept peacefully in the facilities of their secure homes, a very disturbed Wolfemon sat on top the balcony of his tamer's home. He was busy gazing up at the moon while fumbling absently with the spiked black cuffs he wore on his hand. And while he did this, Wolfemon could not help but think about…..her and….him!
"Why did I allow her to go meet him," Wolfemon thought miserably, "I mean, yes she did say that the two of them were just going to talk about the past but for some reason…I don't think that's the only thing that they are going to do."
Wolfemon sighed exasperatedly as he continued to gaze up at attractive full moon above him. Just then, Wolfemon heard small footsteps that sounded that they were just near him. Wolfemon did not move from where he sat. He just stayed still and waited for his trespasser to step into the moonlight. The trespasser's dark shadow crept closer, its footsteps getting louder but still Wolfemon did not move. When the trespasser had finally stepped into the moonlight, Wolfemon breathed out a sigh of relief as it was only Gabumon. Gabumon was yawning tiredly while he held something in the palm of his clawed hand.
"Hello Gabumon. I'm surprised to see that you are awake," Wolfemon greeted looking down upon the groggy digimon. Gabumon stared blearily at Wolfemon. "Oh…hi Wolfemon," he said.
"What are you doing up so late?" Wolfemon inquired.
"I was hungry so I went to the kitchen to fetch myself a little snack," Gabumon answered rubbing his eyes with one of his hands, "why are you up so late?"
"Just thinking," Wolfemon answered shortly.
"Oh alright," Gabumon said as he took a bit in his little snack. Gabumon chewed the continents of his snack quickly only to gag and spit it out. "Yuck!" Gabumon uttered disgustedly.
Wolfemon heard this sudden comment and out of curiosity, he asked, "What is that you are actually eating Gabumon?"
"It's a peanut butter sandwich," Gabumon answered, "ick! Clearly it isn't as tasty as Guilmon said it was."
Wolfemon sighed. "I don't know why Guilmon likes that stuff so much," Wolfemon muttered.
"Me neither. This stuff is awful," Gabumon said spitting out yet another chewed piece of the sandwich. Gabumon turned to Wolfemon. "Urgh! You want it?" Gabumon asked offering Wolfemon the rest of the sandwich. Wolfemon shook his head to Gabumon's offer.
"No thanks Gabumon," Wolfemon answered, "I don't eat chewed food and another thing…I'm not so hungry."
"Oh okay," Gabumon said as he forcefully began to eat the rest of the peanut butter sandwich, not wanting it to go to waste. As he practically forced the sandwich down his throat, Gabumon glanced up at Wolfemon. He was looking a bit sad in his facial expression and this made Gabumon curious.
"Is there something wrong Wolfemon?" Gabumon asked.
Wolfemon moaned and he looked down at Gabumon again. "If you must know Gabumon…yes there is something wrong," Wolfemon answered, "you see…I have a problem Gabumon."
"What kind of problem?" Gabumon inquired.
"It's nothing," Wolfemon answered looking away quickly, "just forget I even mentioned it."
Gabumon sulked. "Oh come on Wolfemon…tell me your problem. I might be able to help you," Gabumon said helpfully, "I'm good with helping others with their problems."
"You are huh? Well are you sure you could help me with my problem?" Wolfemon said questioningly still not looking Gabumon in the eye.
"Well….I wouldn't be able to help you with whatever problem you have if you don't tell me about it first," Gabumon answered as he forced yet another piece of sandwich down his throat.
Wolfemon then groaned. "Fine, since you put it that way, I will tell you my problem," Wolfemon said finally looking at Gabumon, "my problem has something to do with Renamon and her old friend."
"Who? You mean Renomon?" Gabumon inquired through a mouthful of peanut butter.
Wolfemon winced. "Yes…I mean Renomon," Wolfemon said through gritted teeth.
"So what about Renomon and Renamon?" Gabumon asked swallowing the peanut butter in his mouth but with difficulty.
"I allowed Renamon to meet with Renomon tonight so they could talk about their past life together but for some reason…I'm having doubts about that," Wolfemon answered.
"Well why would you have doubts about that?" Gabumon asked, "don't you trust Renamon?"
"Of course I trust Renamon, why do you think I allowed her to go," Wolfemon replied.
"Then what's the real problem?" Gabumon inquired.
"I don't trust Renomon," Wolfemon replied.
Gabumon stared at Wolfemon. "You don't trust Renomon," Gabumon said, "why?"
"Because something about him just gives me this weird suspicious feeling," Wolfemon answered.
"Well if you didn't trust Renomon, then why still let Renamon meet him?" Gabumon questioned.
"Because she wanted to," Wolfemon replied, "Renamon told me that she had questions about her village that only Renomon could have answered…and that is why I let her go."
"So you let her go and now you're having doubts about it," Gabumon said still staring at Wolfemon.
Wolfemon nodded in response. Gabumon then sighed. "Well Wolfemon…my pity goes out to you but I'm afraid I can't help you with this one," Gabumon said.
"Hmm? But you said you were good with helping other people with their problems," Wolfemon said glancing back at Gabumon.
Gabumon shrugged. "My mistake," he said as he popped the last piece of his sandwich into his mouth.
Wolfemon glared at Gabumon for a second before snorting aggressively and returning his gaze back to the moon. Gabumon took sympathy on him.
"Look Wolfemon, as much as I feel sorry for you and your problem there is absolutely nothing I can do about it," Gabumon answered struggling to speak through more chunks of peanut butter, "but…if there was a way then I could help you."
Wolfemon stopped gazing at the moon and glimpsed back at Gabumon. Gabumon was now trying his best to chew the sticky peanut butter and it was then that it finally hit Wolfemon.
"That's it!" Wolfemon said smacking himself on the forehead, "Gabumon, my friend, I think there is a way that you can help me."
"Really? How?" Gabumon asked through chewing peanut butter.
"By doing me a small favor." Wolfemon answered.
"Uh? What kind of favor?" Gabumon asked.
Wolfemon smirked impishly and Gabumon nearly choked on the peanut butter in her mouth when he saw Wolfemon's smirk. Gabumon then finally gulped down the last of the peanut butter sandwich before staring back at the still smirking Wolfemon. Gabumon swallowed again.
"Uh oh!" Gabumon thought looking at Wolfemon nervously, "something tells me I'm not going to like this favor of his."
A dark grey howl hooted from on top the branch of a sycamore tree. It was midnight and the moon was beautiful. Its magnificent facade shone luminously in the dark night sky while its refection shimmered gloriously on the surface of the placid lake water. But the moon was not the only figure near the lake. Right near the bank of the lake was a creature; a tall creature with golden yellow and white fur, which seemed to glisten perfectly in the moonlight. That creature was Renamon.
Renamon stood stably on the bank of the lake. She was looking down at her likeness in the clear lake waters while she absently thumped her long tail on the ground, which fanned a way a few dandelions growing on the bank. Renamon was busily awaiting her fellow friend, Renomon. He had told her to meet him in the Shinjuku Park at midnight. But it was after midnight and Renomon had not arrived as he said he would. Renamon snarled angrily as she stared at the surface of the lake, her own reflection reflecting the anger in her sapphire orbs. Renamon was getting impatient on Renomon's arrival.
"Where is he?" Renamon thought furiously, "he said he would be here exactly at midnight."
A slight breeze brushed against Renamon's fur. She shivered from the coldness of the breeze.
"Grrrr! This is annoying," Renamon growled, "where is Renomon? If he doesn't arrive here in the next minute then I will have no choice than to leave."
"Oh don't leave as yet Renamon, the fun has only just begun," said a voice suddenly.
Renamon turned and gave an annoyed snarl as she saw who it was. It was Renomon.
"Hello Renamon, fine night isn't it?" Renomon said to Renamon greeting her with a keen smile.
"Humph!" Renomon uttered with her back turned to the brown vixen-digimon.
"Is there something the matter Renamon?" Renomon inquired staring at Renamon curiously.
"Yes there is," Renamon answered angrily turning to face Renomon, "you're late Renomon. You said you would be here at midnight and you were three minutes later."
"Whoops! I am so sorry Renamon," Renomon said apologetically, "please accept my apologies for my discourteous tardiness."
Renamon sighed. "Okay," she said, "I forgive you."
"Thank you." Renomon said gratefully bowing to Renamon.
"Well now that you are here," Renamon said, "you want us to get down to our business?"
"Yes, let's … talk Renamon," Renomon answered, "but shall we also take a little walk around the lake while we catch up on old times."
"Sure. That would be good." Renamon answered.
"Splendid," Renomon said with a gleeful smile as he began strolling along the lake bank. Renamon following vigilantly at his side.
For the last few hours, Renomon and Renamon strolled side by side along the bank of the crystal clear lake. They were both deep in conversation with one another, each discussing and agreeing with the other on different particular topics, though it was Renamon who did most of the talking and discussing.
"No way? Is that the real truth about Guilmon?" Renomon inquired, interested in another one of the female fox digimon's tales.
"Yes it's true alright," Renamon answered grinning, "Guilmon does really hug up a jar of peanut butter when he's sleeping."
Renomon laughed. "Ha! Ha! But how do you know of this Renamon?" Renomon asked.
"It's simple," Renamon answered, "one day when I could not control my phasing and teleporting abilities, I accidentally phased in on Guilmon in his little hideout and found him sleeping while hugging up a jar of peanut butter like a stuffed animal teddy bear."
"What is a teddy-bear?" Renomon asked.
"It's a sort of plaything that the human children play with and sometimes hug up against them when they are asleep," Renamon answered, "and I think they also talk to these small playthings because Guilmon was mumbling something to his while he was dreaming."
"Ha! Fascinating," Renomon chuckled, "does your friend Guilmon know that you know about him and his little…plaything?"
"Of course he does," Renamon answered, "that is why he begged on his knees for me not to utter this to another soul, especially Terriermon and Impmon."
"Then if this is supposed to be a secret, why are you telling me?" Renomon said dubiously.
Renamon smirked. "Because I know that I can trust you, isn't that right?" she said.
"Right," Renomon answered beaming at Renamon. Renamon smiled back at Renomon before she stopped near a small patch of grass close to the water. There, Renamon took a seat and began to admire the crystal clear water infront of her. Renomon walked over and sat beside the yellow vixen.
"So apart from me, is there anyone else who you blurted out Guilmon so called secret to?" Renomon asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact there is," Renamon answered her attention still on the glistening lake water.
"Who is it then?" Renomon inquired as he continued staring at Renamon.
Renamon heaved a sigh and answered slowly, "Wolfemon."
"Wolfemon!" Renomon said taken aback, "you told that….wolf-beast."
"Yes. I tell Wolfemon everything from my dreams and nightmares to my deep darkest secrets," Renamon answered absentmindedly, "there isn't anything about me that I haven't told Wolfemon; well except for my past that is."
"Wow! You told him…all of that?" Renomon said.
Renamon nodded. Renomon slighted his eyes in an almost…disappointing look.
"You….really…like this Wolfemon fellow, don't you?" Renomon said watching a tiny frog jump into the lake water and disappearing.
"I more than just like him," Renamon answered, "I love him."
Renomon's russet and black ears dropped sadly. "I…see," Renomon uttered, looking out at the reflection of the moon, its brightness flickering marvelously in the clearness of the lake water.
For the past minutes, the two fox-like digimon sat in silence, neither of them saying another word to the other. They both just sat there on the soft grass, either of them admiring the loveliness of the night and also savoring the moment. But after a while the situation began to get a tad uninteresting and soon, it was Renamon who broke the silence.
"Hey Renomon," Renamon said.
"Hmmmm," Renomon moaned in response.
"How come during this whole night, all we've talked about is about me and my life?" Renamon inquired, "how come you haven't told me anything about the Foxwood Village."
Renomon looked Renamon directly in the eyes. "You never asked," he answered smiling.
Renamon blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry," she mumbled.
"It's okay," Renomon said reassuringly, "besides what kind of questions on our village do you have for me?"
"Well first thing I want to know," Renamon said, "did all of the Renamon and Renomon from our village survive the fire or was it just a small amount."
"It was only a few of us, mostly Renomon," Renamon answered, "nearly all of the female Renamon were deleted but some of them managed to survive and with those Renamon, me and a couple more Renomon were able to lead the remaining of our kind away from our crumbling village and to safety."
"How long did it take you and the other Renomon and Renamon to find a new spot to start a new village?" Renamon asked inquisitively.
"About three months, I presume," Renomon answered, "it was a long and treacherous journey. For months, our fellow Renomon, Renamon and I went without food and water. Even when we tried to hunt down and find food, we did not find enough to feed ourselves and this caused many problems. As the days went by, many of the Renamon and Renomon dropped and died from starvation. There were even some days when our fellow comrades resorted to cannibalism."
"Cannibalism!" Renamon said her eyes widening in shock, "you mean…"
"Yes," Renomon answered folding his arms, "our kind tried to devour each other brutally. It was a horrible thing to witness; your own brothers and sisters snapping and slashing at one another before your very eyes. It was beyond doubt the most gruesome thing I have ever seen."
"What happened afterwards?" Renamon asked.
"A miracle," Renomon answered smiling, "just when the last of our kind and I were about to give up on our quest, we finally came across an abandoned land. It was quite a large piece of land; large enough for us to start to rebuild our new home village. But the best thing about the space was that it was rich in fertile soil, good for growing crops and new flower fields. It was the perfect spot…a true paradise."
"So after you all found the land, you started to rebuild our village, am I right?" Renamon said.
"Absolutely," Renomon replied.
"How long did it take you and the last of our people to rebuild our new haven?" Renamon inquired.
"About….six months I presume," Renomon answered.
"Was it hard to rebuild the village?" asked Renamon.
"Yes, it was very tough to reconstruct the Foxwood Village especially since we had very few Renomon and Renamon to help," Renomon explained, "but as the days, weeks and months past, we were finally able to recreate our new wonderful haven."
"Is the new Foxwood Village just as wonderful as the old one was?" Renamon asked.
"It sure is," Renomon answered, "infact, it's even better. Our village now has bigger huts and lovelier flower fields. But that is not the only new thing in our village. Thanks to one of the survived Renomon, our new village now has a lovely waterfall which leads into a nearby river, so we have all the pure water we could get."
"That's amazing," Renamon said beaming, "the baby Reremon, Pokomon, Foxenmon and Kitsunemon must really enjoy playing in that waterfall."
"They sure do…and I do too," Renomon said laughing at his joke.
Renamon smiled at Renomon but then her expression got depressed. Renomon seemed to notice this.
"What's the matter Renamon?" Renomon inquired, "why the long face all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing to worry about Renomon," Renamon answered, "it's just that…I was thinking about the new baby fox digimon in our village and…how much they remind me of……Reremon."
"You really miss her, don't you?" Renomon said looking the vixen digimon in the eye.
Renamon nodded. "Of course I miss her," she answered, "I think about her every chance I get. But I don't know why I truly bother thinking about Reremon when I already know the truth. That she is gone from this world and she is never coming back, no matter how many times I pray that she would."
"You really think that she is gone?" Renomon queried.
"Yes," Renamon answered miserably hugging up her legs against her chest.
Renomon then glanced down at the ground. "Renamon," he said.
"Mmmm," Renamon moaned in reply.
"What if I told you that…somehow Reremon...survived that fire that burned our old village," Renomon said.
Renamon's head snapped up as she stared at Renomon. "What!" Renamon uttered, "Renomon…are you saying that…Reremon…is….
"Alive," Renomon finished, "yes."
Renamon became breathless. "But…she was trapped in the fire that was burning our hut," Renamon said, "and she was just a baby. How could she have gotten out of that fire on her own?"
"She didn't," Renomon said, "Reremon was only able to get out of the burning hut because I had saved her."
FLASHBACK………
Renomon: I came to your sister's aid when I heard her loud cries for help. It was a good thing I came; your hut was almost completely engulfed in the flames. But unfortunately for me, I found myself in an epic battle of life and death against the conniving Firestegosmon. We each threw our attacks one after the other. But in the end, I was able to paralyze Firestegosmon with my Ice Punch attack long enough for me to teleport inside the burning hut and rescue Reremon.
END OF FLASHBACK………
"So you see Renamon, your sister Reremon is pretty safe, especially in the new Foxwood Village," Renomon finished.
Renamon burst into happy tears. "I…don't believe it," Renamon said, "after all these years, I find out that my beloved sister is alive! That she is actually…alive. Renomon, why didn't you tell me this good news before?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise," Renomon answered with a smile, "besides; I didn't want you to cry infront of your digimon and human comrades."
"Oh Renomon," Renamon said teary-eyed as she embraced Renomon happily. Renomon smiled and returned the hug. Renamon then released Renomon.
"So tell me Renomon," Renamon said, "how is she? How is Reremon?"
"Well…first things first. I wouldn't call your sister Reremon anymore if I were you," Renomon answered.
"Really," Renamon said, "so…how is my sister, Pokomon then?"
"No even Pokomon, Renamon," Renomon said.
Renamon looked wide-eyed. "You mean…," Renamon muttered.
"Yes. Renamon, your sister Reremon is now a full-grown Renamon herself," Renomon finished.
"What! Reremon is a Renamon. That's wonderful!" Renamon exclaimed gleefully, "but I must know, who trained and raised her while I was gone?"
"I did," Renomon answered, "after I had rescued your sister, I immediately took her in and raised her to be the fine young Renamon that she is now."
"Really now; is she any good in combat and defending herself?" Renamon asked.
"She is just as good as her older sister," Renomon answered.
Renamon smiled. "Well congratulations Mr. Renomon," she said, "you have now made me homesick."
Renomon laughed. "You really miss the Foxwood Village, don't you?" he said.
"Yes I do," Renamon answered, "if only I could go there again. I could see my sister and all my other Renamon and Renomon friends."
"Well…maybe you can," Renomon said.
"What are talking about Renomon?" Renamon asked.
"What I mean is if you miss the Foxwood Village so much then why don't you go back," Renomon implied.
"What? Go back to the Foxwood Village!" Renamon said surprised, "oh I can't do that Renomon."
"Why can't you?" Renamon said, "the Foxwood Village is your home after all."
"Yes but…the Real world is my home too Renomon," Renamon said, "I have so many people who care about me here. Like Rika, my tamer, all my human and digimon friends and of course…Wolfemon."
"You mean your new boyfriend." Renomon muttered through clenched teeth.
"Yes," Renamon said a tiny blush appearing on her cheeks, "he is very special to me."
"I see," Renomon uttered looking away from Renamon, "Renamon?"
"Yes." Renamon said.
"I have a confession to make," Renomon spoke.
"What is it?" Renamon said looking at the side of Renomon's face with a sense of curiosity.
Renomon finally seized the courage to look Renamon in the eye again, his expression filled with a yearning that Renamon had never seen before in her life.
"For the past years," Renomon began, "I lived in the Foxwood Village; the new one not the old one…and all I could think about apart from raising Reremon was a certain Renamon. This particular Renamon was the most beautiful Renamon that I have ever laid my eyes on. She was a Renamon of bravery and strength and I, Renomon, was deeply in love with this certain Renamon,"
Renomon then stood up and continued his story while staring out at the moon's refection in the water. "But," Renomon said, "when I had heard the news that this certain Renamon was missing from our village, my heart could not help but feel crushed. However, that did not prevent me from still loving this certain Renamon. And as yet another year past, I finally gave into my desired love for this Renamon and set out on a quest to find her. As the days past me by, I searched for this Renamon. Even when the evil coercions like the D-Reaper and the Bedlam threatened the Digital World, I still managed to continue my search for this Renamon. And as more days past, I thought to myself that I would have never found this special Renamon who I adored so much, at least until now."
Renomon glanced back at Renamon, who was staring at him, her sapphire orbs full with incredulity. Renomon then knelt down infront of Renamon and took both of her hands into his.
"Renamon," Renomon spoke, "the certain Renamon I was talking about was you."
"Renomon," Renamon uttered but Renomon but a finger to her lips to stop her.
"No let me speak," Renomon said, "Renamon, I love you very much. I always have and I traveled all this way, just to tell you that."
Renamon removed Renomon's finger from off her lip. "Oh Renomon," she said, "all that you just said…you don't mean that, don't you?"
"Don't mean it?" Renomon said taken aback, "of course I meant it. Renamon I do love you very much. I even bought you this to express my love for you."
Renomon then held out his right hand and out of nowhere, a medium sized pink diamond rock appeared right in the palm of his hands.
"For you," Renomon said dropping the pink diamond rock in Renamon's hands.
Renamon goggled at the rock. "Oh my goodness! This is a pink Cataylite stone," Renamon said, "I haven't seen one of these since one of my old Renamon friends gave one to me when I had just digi-evolved to a Renamon. Though that Cataylite stone was yellow."
"Meaning congratulations for digi-evolving," Renomon explained.
"Exactly," Renamon said.
"Do you remember what the pink Cataylite stone stands for?" Renomon asked.
"Of course I do," Renamon replied, "it means love."
"Exactly," said Renomon stroking Renamon's cheek contentedly.
Renamon froze at the shock at this unexpected feat of action.
"(Ahem) Well Renomon…as flattering as this moment may seem. I'd just have to…past on your generous offer," Renamon uttered placing the pink Cataylite stone back in Renomon's hand.
"What?" Renomon explained in an appalled tone, "but Renamon I love you."
"I know Renomon but unfortunately, I don't love you," Renamon said.
"I don't believe this!" Renomon spoke, "when you were back in the Foxwood Village, you were just as in love with me as I am with you."
"Yes but…that was in the past Renomon," Renamon said, "now I have moved on to another male digimon who I love very much."
"And who may that be? That beast digimon you were talking about earlier," Renomon said angrily, "what's his name again? Woofmon!"
Renamon gritted her teeth. "His name is Wolfemon," Renamon said glaring at Renomon furiously, "and he is not a BEAST!"
"Oh please! Every part of that mangy digimon screams BEAST! For heaven's sake, he's a wolf," Renomon snarled.
"So what if he is a wolf," Renamon said, "that doesn't change the fact that I love him."
"You do, do you?" Renomon said eyeing Renamon in the face.
"Yes I do," Renamon answered forcefully.
Renomon gazed at Renamon before getting up and walking to the edge of the back. There, he stood silently. Renamon stared at the back of Renomon as he stared down at his own reflection in the water.
"Does he love you," Renomon spoke alas.
"What?" Renamon said caught by the surprise at the sudden question.
"You heard me. Does Wolfemon love you as much as you love him?" Renomon repeated.
"Yes he does," Renamon answered calmly.
"Really," Renomon murmured, "well how has Wolfemon shown his love for you?"
"What do you mean by that?" Renamon said confusedly.
"Don't play dumb with me Renamon," Renomon said, "has this Wolfemon ever shown any signs of love for you? Like for example…whenever you need assistance, has he always been there to help you?"
"Yes, he has." Renamon answered.
"I see," Renomon said, "well has he ever been there for you whenever you were ill or depressed?"
"Of course," Renamon responded, "Wolfemon has always been there at my side because he loves me."
"You really think so?" Renomon said.
"I know so," Renamon answered assertively.
Renomon sneered. "Alright…okay," he said, "but I just have one more question to ask. Since that Wolfemon fellow loves you so much, has he ever told you how much he loves you?"
"Obviously yes," Renamon replied, "Wolfemon has told me that he loves me."
"What were his exact words to you?" Renomon questioned.
"What does that have to do with how much Wolfemon loves me?" Renamon said, "and most importantly, why are you asking me so many questions about mine and Wolfemon's relationship?"
"Because never in the history of digital life has a Renamon fallen in love with another digimon other than a Renomon. It's just never been done," Renomon answered, "and I just want to know if this Wolfemon loves you as much as you think he does."
"I don't think, I know," Renamon said.
"Really now. So tell me my dear Renamon, did Wolfemon tell you that he loves you?" Renomon inquired.
"Yes," Renamon answered.
"Were his exact words the words that you have been longing to hear from him? Were his exact words 'I love you'?" Renomon asked.
"Ye…wait a minute," Renamon said thinking, "no…actually no."
Renamon thought back to the night when she and Wolfemon confessed their feelings for each other, and the exact words Wolfemon said to her that special moment.
FL ASHBACK………
Wolfemon: Renamon…I care for you deeply
END OF FLASHBACK……..
The words Wolfemon said to her echoed loudly in Renamon's mind and she thought about this seriously.
"I care for you deeply. Those were Wolfemon's exact words," Renamon thought.
"So Renamon, did Wolfemon tell you 'I love you' or not?" Renomon asked.
"No," Renamon answered, "his exact words were I care for you deeply not I love you."
"Oh now, there is your problem Renamon," Renomon said, "who could love a male digimon who doesn't love them back."
"But Wolfemon loves me," Renamon said, "he said that he cared deeply for me and that definitely means that he loves me as much as I love him."
"No it doesn't Renamon," Renomon said, "you see, love and care are two different words which possibly have different meanings. So if Wolfemon said that he loves you then it means he loves you. But if Wolfemon says that he cares for you then…that could only mean one other thing. That he cares for you but does not really love you the way you want him to."
"Oh dear, Renomon is…RIGHT!" Renamon thought, "Wolfemon never really said that he loved me, only that he cared about me and that's a big difference."
Renamon drooped her head in sadness. "Oh my, all this time when I thought that Wolfemon really loved me…he didn't love me at all," Renamon mumbled wretchedly, "I'm such a fool."
Sorrowful tears began to fall from Renamon's azure eyes as she cried bitterly at the horrible truth (or so it may seem). Renomon noticed the female yellow vixen sad weeping and with this, he somewhat smirked with pleasure.
"Awh cheer up Renamon," Renomon said comfortingly, "even if that beast digimon Wolfemon doesn't love you…at least there is someone who does. Me."
Renomon then swiftly wrapped his long tanned and black tail around a sad Renamon's waist and with a slight tug; he pulled Renamon up to his chest in a tight embrace. Renamon looked into Renomon's cherry eyes with a sense of amazement.
"Renomon, what are you doing?" Renamon said.
"What does it look like I'm doing," Renomon said smiling at Renamon, "I'm comforting you from your unhappiness."
Renamon smiled slightly. "Thank you Renomon," Renamon said gratefully, "but I'm not the type of digimon who gives up on other digimon easily."
"Huh?" Renomon said looking baffled.
"I mean, so what if Wolfemon said that he cared about me instead of I love you," Renamon said, "that still doesn't change the fact that he adores me for who I am and I feel the same way about him."
"So basically what you are trying to say is that you are still in love with Wolfemon." Renomon said.
Renamon nodded in answer and pulled herself out of Renomon's embrace and stepped backward. Renomon snarled angrily. "I see," was all he could manage to say.
Renamon turned her back to Renomon and was about to walk away when Renomon suddenly snatched her hand. Renamon was appalled at this.
"Renomon, what's wrong?" Renamon questioned.
"Er? Tell me my dear Renamon, have you ever been…kissed?" Renomon asked with a rather farcical smirk.
Renamon looked at Renomon somewhat surprised at his question. "No." the fox digimon answered.
"I see," Renomon said his smirk widening, "not even your precious Wolfemon managed to kiss your lovely face."
"No," Renamon answered, "why are you asking me this?"
"Because Renamon, I was just wondering since you little beast boyfriend never kissed you, maybe you would like me to do it instead," Renomon said grinning his same smirk as he all of sudden pulled Renamon into a firm hold that she could not break.
"Renomon! LET GO OF ME AT ONCE!" Renamon shouted trying to push herself away from Renomon.
"No I will not," Renomon said tightening his firm grip around Renamon, "Renamon, when will you understand that I love you and that you and I are meant for each other. We're mates for Pete's sake. And as long as I hold you, I am not going to let you go until you love me."
"Grrrr! You are mad!" Renamon growled angrily at Renomon's face.
"Yes Renamon I am mad," Renomon said, "mad about you."
Renamon's fur stood on end as she growled at Renomon. "Renomon," Renamon shouted crossly, "I demand that you let go of me n…………."
But Renamon's voice trailed off and Renamon gasped as Renomon suddenly planted his lips on hers in a kiss. Renamon was very staggered at Renomon's impulsive case of action. But although she tried hard to break away from Renomon's lip lock, Renamon strangely found herself not being able to resist the temptations of the kiss. Infact, Renamon slowly wrapped her arms around Renomon's neck and pulled him in closer to her, deepening the kiss…much to Renomon's delight. The two foxes shared this passionate kiss for quite awhile until alas, they broke apart. Both digimon were flushed, especially Renamon.
"Well…that was pretty pleasurable, wasn't it my sweet," Renomon said beaming at Renamon.
Renamon stared angrily back at Renomon. "Renomon, you nasty brut," Renamon snarled, "I'll…
"You do what?" Renomon said as he kissed Renamon again, this time slightly.
"I…don't…know," Renamon answered uncertainly.
Renomon chuckled a bit as he pulled Renamon into another deep kiss and once again, she didn't resist.
"Renomon," Renamon moaned, "please…don't make me do this?"
"Do what?" Renomon asked, "I'm just kissing the female I love and want."
"That's the point," Renamon said, "I don't love you."
"Are you sure about that?" Renomon said staring Renamon in the eye.
"What do you possibly mean?" Renamon asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Renomon answered, "you love me as much as I love you."
"That's preposterous," Renamon said.
"Is it? Then if it so ridiculous, why did you kiss me?" Renomon said.
"What! You were the one who kiss me!" Renamon retorted.
"True," Renomon said honestly, "but why didn't you push me back or stop me from kissing you? Hmmm?"
"Well I….I….uh?" Renamon stammered.
Renomon laughed to himself. "Ah face it Renamon, you still have feelings for me and you know it," Renomon said holding Renamon's chin up to his face.
Renamon growled irritably at Renomon. How dare he say that she, Renamon, still have feelings for him. Now that was ludicrous! But deep down, for some eccentric reason, Renamon seemed to find that statement somewhat true, especially after the previous incident. "Well I did kiss him actually," Renamon thought, "hey what am I thinking to myself! He kissed me! But still…why didn't I push him away. Why did I allow myself to give into his passionate lips? Why? Why did I? I'm so confused."
Renamon pushed away Renomon's finger from underneath her chin before turning her back to the brown and black male fox. Then Renamon started to walk away. Renomon stared after her.
"Where are you off to now Renamon?" Renomon inquired.
"I'm going back home to my tamer," Renamon answered sternly, "so I could forget that this whole horrible night ever happened."
"Oh but this night is going to be very hard to forget my dear Renamon," Renomon said, "after all, that kiss…sorry, those kisses that you and I shared together are going to be tattooed on your lips forever."
Renamon snarled and quickened her pace. Renomon followed aimlessly after Renamon.
"Urgh! Go away Renomon!" Renamon snarled noticing the other fox trailing after her, "I'm very angry with you at this moment."
"Ha! Not as angry as your wolf boyfriend is going to be with you when he finds out about tonight's event." Renomon said laughing mischievously.
Renamon stopped dead in her tracks and gawked back at Renomon.
"What!" Renamon exclaimed, "no! Renomon…you wouldn't dare tell Wolfemon about this."
"Of course I wouldn't Renamon. I'm not like that," Renomon answered, "though I would enjoy seeing the look of complete amazement when the so called love of your life finds out that you kissed me."
Renamon sneered. "So…you're not going to tell him." She said.
"No I'm not going to say anything about this to what's his name Renamon," Renomon said, "you are. Because it will seem less painful coming from you since you're his girlfriend. No wait…I'm wrong it wouldn't seem less painful. It will seem more. Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"That's not funny Renomon!" Renamon growled.
"Actually Renamon, it is funny," Renomon said, "because it's your fault that you fell for my loving charms."
Renamon growled again but this time not as vile because she knew that Renomon was speaking the truth.
"But you know what's even funnier Renamon," Renomon continued to say, "the fact that you lied to that beast lover of yours."
"Lied? I didn't lie to Wolfemon." Renamon said.
"Yes you did," Renomon said insistently, "you told him that all the both of us were going to do was catch up on old times but here we were kissing one another in this very spot."
Renamon frowned but still she knew that Renomon was not telling a lie.
"I wished this whole night never happened," Renamon murmured to herself.
"Well unfortunately for you, it did Renamon," Renomon said, "and eventually you will have to tell Woofmon or whatever his name is about it unless…you're going to lie to him again. Ha! Ha!"
Renamon growled loudly as her head snapped up at Renomon's cackling face.
"This is all your fault!" Renamon screamed, "you kissed me."
"Yes I did. But it's also your fault that you didn't resist," Renomon answered truthfully.
Renamon frowned at Renomon, her body shaking with anger. She had never felt that angry in her whole life though still…a part of Renamon could not help agreeing with the precise Renomon for she knew that he was still correct about her. Renomon gazed into Renamon's angry cerulean eyes and with this, he smirked.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Well I guess I'd best be off now," Renomon said, "good luck admitting the truth Renamon, you would definitely need it."
Renamon continued to frown at Renomon. Renomon's smirk widened.
"Adieu!" Renomon said waving farewell to the still frowning and shaking Renomon as he conjured up his cloak. With one last look at the angry Renamon, Renomon whipped his cloak around him and afterwards, he had disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Once Renomon was gone, Renamon had finally calmed herself down. Breathing out slowly, Renamon walked back to the bank of the lake where she glanced down at his face in the water. Her expression was filled with guilt and feeling annoyed at herself, Renamon began pounding her clenched fists on the surface of the water. Droplets of water splashed all over as Renamon cuffed at the lake hardly, tears streaming from her eyes.
"What have I done?" Renamon thought sadly, "I still cannot believe what had just happened. I had kissed…Renomon even though I said that I was in love with Wolfemon. Speaking of Wolfemon, I betrayed him. I betrayed his trust and I betrayed his love. Renomon was right…this whole thing was my fault. Oh Wolfemon…my dear sweet Wolfemon…I'm so sorry for what I've done to you…and myself."
After a while, alas Renamon came to her senses and stopped beating the water. Though that did not stop her from feeling guilty about what she had done. Hugging up her legs, Renamon curled into a ball and wept bitterly into her yellow fur as the night past her by slowly.
But as she cried sadly for her horrible mistake, little did Renamon know…that somewhere up in the nearest tree close to the lake, someone very familiar had been watching the fox digimon the entire moment.
MistressPC: Oh my god! Poor Renamon….what has she done! Worst of all, what is she going to tell Wolfemon? Who is this mysterious person whose been spying on Renamon the whole time she was with Renomon and how much…does he or she know about what happened?
Wow! So many questions! But they can all only be answered in Chapter 7: The Truth Is Out (for real!)
