Disclaimer:I don't own anything, except Shadowmon.

Shadowmon looked over at Gatomon's unmoving form for a minute. Then he turned towards the Snimon. There was so much anger in his eyes, even Myotismon would probably hesitate. He just glared at the Snimon, not even blinking

Two circles of fire, one inside the other, appeared on the ground and started swirling. Then a pillar of fire rose up into the air, and clouds started to form.

The Snimon, who were advancing on him, stopped and looked around, confused.

"Flaming Rain!" he yelled, and fireballs started raining from the sky, right on the Snimon. Needless to say, the Snimon didn't stand a chance.

After the rain ended, Shadowmon fell to the ground for a second, gasping for air. Using that move always made him exausted. But there was no time for rest, Gatomon needed help.

He went over to her and cheked on her. She was still alive, but she was bleeding from that gash that she got earlier.

"I need to do something, before she dies," Shadowmon thought.

He carefully picked her up, using a large leaf as a temperary way to stop the bleeding, and carried her off.

About an hour later, Gatomon woke up to find herself in a cave. The cave was large enough to hold about 5 medium sized digimon. She was lying on the stone floor, with a leaf acting as a blanket. She touched her chest, and felt gauze wrapping up the cut she got from the Snimon.

"Where am I?" she asked aloud.

"You're at my place," a voice said.

Gatomon turned towards the voice to see Shadowmon, sitting in front of a fire. He was just sitting there, watching her. She stood up, with some difficuty, and walked over to him.

"Catnip?" he offered, after she sat down.

Gatomon smiled and said, "Do you really need to ask a cat that?"

They sat and munched on some catnip, just gazing at the fire, than at each other. Gatomon was thinking of making a move, when she saw it was getting dark.

"Oh, man, I gotta go. See you, Shadowmon. I enjoyed our time together." Gatomon said, then rushed out of the cave.

Shadowmon watched her leave, and whispered, "I hope I see you again."

Kari was waiting in front of the computer, when Gatomon came out of the computer, knocking them both to the floor.

"A great way to travel, a bad way to land," Gatomon remarked, as they both picked themselves off the floor.

Kari looked at Gatomon, and got worried when she saw the bandages.

"Gatomon, what happened?" she asked, obviously worried.

"Shadowmon and I ran into a couple of Snimon," Gatomnon explained.

Kari's expression changed from worry to confusion.

"Shadowmon?" she asked.

"A cat digimon that I met while I was there," Gatomon said, then added silently "And he made my desision on who to pick harder."

Will Gatomon pick Shadowmon? And how will Veemon and Patamon react if she does? There's a possibility that these questions will have answers in the next part
