Light and Dark Chapter 3
Tigerlily: After a few days of either being banned or having writer's block… everything's come back!
Hummingbird: So sit back and… TK? What's the matter?
TK: (crying) I miss her!
Hummingbird: (thinking) You're good at English, no?
TK: (sniffs) Yeah… why?
Hummingbird: Do my English homework… and she's yours forever!
TK: Deal!
Tigerlily: (sweatdrops) Meanwhile… Patamon?
Patamon: (clears throat) Tigerlily and Hummingbird do not own digimon… though if you give to them… they'd praise you forever!
Tigerlily: On with the fic!

TK couldn't sleep that night. He kept thinking about Rika and her digimon and the negative vibes of loneliness and unlove that he had felt radiating of from them. Strange, he could have sworn he had felt the same vibes from the vampire girl and Ladydevimon… but they had been smiling as they looked over the destruction beneath them. Almost as if they had been crying for joy as they saw the newly captured slaves bend under their new master, Myotismon.
TK sighed and turned over. He wished Kari was here to help sort out his problems. Yeah… she'd tease him, but she would also help. Boy, he didn't half miss her… Before long, he was sleeping soundly.

It was lunchtime the next day. The digidestined were all (expect TK, who was at a basketball practice and Kari… who was of course missing) sitting at their two tables (The 12 of them hadn't all been able to fit onto one).
"We have to get that new girl to join us," Tai said as he chewed on what the cafeteria had the cheek to call sweet and sour chicken.
"Big problem, guys…" Matt paused as he took a spoonful of the yogurt he was sharing with Mimi. "She is more unsociable than the dark spore children were!"
Yolei stirred her straw in her diet coke, "Expect TK, she talks to him… simple stuff like pass the glue, and about once every two lessons, but she talks to him."
TK skidded up to the table as Yolei spoke,
"Who talks to me?
"Rika." Answered Sora. "We need her help against this vampire girl."
TK wrinkled his nose, "I'm not sure guys."
The others looked up at him strangely; TK was usually one of the first to accept new people, so why didn't he like Rika?
TK saw their puzzled expressions and explained,
"It's just a feeling I have, I would love for her to be on the team; but I have a weird feeling that she won't accept," He turned to Izzy, Tai and Sora,
"You remember the vampire girl's expression: hard, cold, happy and sad, with that feeling of loneliness and unlove?"
The three mentioned nodded,
"Of course."
"I have a hunch that they're the same person, I felt the same vibes, and…" TK broke off at this point unable to explain.
Davis raised his eyebrow, before suddenly jumping up and gave his friend a noogie.
"You sure hunger isn't making you hallucinate? I always act weird when I'm hungry." He said oblivious to TK's pleas for him to stop and the others' laughter.

An hour later, the gang was back in class. The new digidestined had gym, and the old had Biology, Chemistry or Physics, basically science. The digidestined watched as Rika danced. Like expected she was graceful and elegant on her feet, like a cat. Yolei was dancing near Rika when she tripped over a basketball that had come her way and fell. Yolei ran over to help, noticing a necklace that had fallen out of Rika's pocket and picked it up. She studied it for a while; then gasped and dropped as if she'd been burned. Rika was standing up this point and for a moment the two girls were staring at each other; seizing each other up. Rika finally bent down and picked up her necklace, and then walked out as the bell rang. Yolei stood still for a few minutes staring ahead. She then turned to face her friends.
"We have to find the other's, and tell them of Rika's vampire secret!"

Joe, Cody and Ken were on duty in the digital world, watching over Primary Village. They were waiting for reinforcements since they had a tip-off that Myotismon was planning to take over it. Suddenly, the monitor next to them burst into colour as TK and Patamon flew out of it.
"Hey TK," Joe greeted, "Nice to see you, but weren't Tai and Sora supposed to come with you?"
TK grinned, "Yeah… but their a tad busy…"
Cody looked puzzled, "How?"
"They are (cough, cough) doing homework!"
"Oh…" said Ken knowledgeably, "They're making-out."
TK sat down and nodded, "You said it!"

TK, Joe, Cody, Sora and Tai (when Tai and Sora finally finished doing their 'homework') were taking the night watch over the town. 24-hour watch over Primary Village had been Izzy's idea when Yolei had told him about Rika's 'little' secret.
That night, while the others were sleeping, TK heard the sound of girl crying. He got up quietly and followed the noise. He saw a girl with a devil's tail, bat wings and vampire fangs glinted in the moonlight.
"Rika," he breathed, as she turned round.
"Oh, it's you." Rika sounded disgusted as she caught sight of him. "Why do you and your pathetic band keep spying on me? Can't you just get lost? You're just wasting my time!"
At her words, TK started to get angry. "We weren't spying on you," he began coolly. "We wanted to know whether you wanted to join us or not. You were, are a digidestined like us; and you were chosen to protect the Digital World like us. You shouldn't try to destroy it." TK could see that Rika wasn't expecting this cold, often what the others called dark, side of him. But he wasn't expecting her answer either.
"I can't have been chosen! You have to have been born to be chosen, not created!"
TK felt eyes widen in shock. He could see the same happening in Patamon's eyes next to him.
"What?" the sound that came from Patamon sounded hoarse.
"Myotismon created us; data from tears from your friends, especially the ones you loved." Rika's digimon spat.
"I guess that's why the Digimon Ananylaser can't pick you up," TK said, to himself more than anyone else, looking at his digivice.
Rika gave an evil smile, "Then let me fill in; Tagomon: An evil panther-cat with a very good taste for blood. Watch out for her black blood haze, you'll be eating out of her paw in seconds- literally!" She then turned to her digimon, her bat wings causing to hover. She was holding a black digivice; TK was reminded of Ken's, except this one was an old one.
"Tagomon, digivolve!" Tagomon was surrounded by a black light and started to digivolve. She shape shifted to a woman with wings. A skin-tight helmet came down over her head and parts of her face. Then a massive chain-like glove covered her right arm, as her digivolving finished.
TK heard Patamon next to him mutter under his breath "Ladydevimon!" and frowned. Just as he was about to tell Patamon to digivolve; a blast knocked them off their feet.

Tigerlily: Muhahahahahaha! I love doing cliffhangers! It means more people will review to find out what happens!
Hummingbird: Coz we won't update if you don't review!
TK: And you want to know what happens don't you?
Patamon: So……………… R&R!
Tigerlily: (nodding proudly) We're a good team!
