Chapter 14:

Love and Darkness

By RayD

"How long will you be gone?" Renamon asked as she watched her tamer going through her closet.

Rika looked up at her partner and shrugged her shoulders. "Don't know. Mum, and grandma wanted to go out to eat for tonight, and we should be back soon." She said as she started to put on a pair of jeans from her closet. Renamon nodded and folded her arms as she looked outside to the night stars above. Rika looked over at her partner as she put on a blue shirt and adjusted her belt on her jeans. "So how is guard work going?" Rika asked as she tried to break the tension that seemed to be in the room.

"Flamedramon…had to go somewhere and wanted some privacy so I gave it to him." The young kitsune said in a distant voice that caused Rika to raise suspicion. Once more she had noticed a change in Renamon's behaviour. Whenever she first talked about Flamedramon, she would have shrugged and gone back to her fighter's mood that she always had, but as time passed even mentioned Flamedramon she would only nod and stare off into thoughts. Something was up with her, but Rika didn't want to push the kitsune to tell her since she probably wouldn't anyways. As Rika pulled her hair into her ponytail she picked up her coat and headed to the hallway to meet her grandma and mom, but stopped. "Renamon."

"Yes Rika?"

"Take care of the house ok? And…clear your mind of whatever is troubling you." She said as she left Renamon alone. The fox digimon sighed, and sat down on the floor. Obliviously her tamer was sensing her troubles, but she could never tell Rika that she loved someone. Still she would have to…then again she could just hide it and pretend nothing happened, but but….."Aggggghhhh I hate this!" she cried out as she hit the padded floor with her paw in frustration. All day she had wondered how to tell Flamedramon, but she hand always stopped, and now with Rika suspecting something, she would have to tell her tamer that she fell in love with the blue dragon. Renamon sighed once more and allowed her eyes to move around the padded floor. "So many new things, and I don't know what to do about them…" she whispered to herself looking up from the floor. However, as she did this her blue eyes gazed upon Rika's stereo that lay next to the bed. Renamon smiled at that moment and grabbed the handle of the stereo, taking it out into the night.

Flamedramon made his way down the rooftops towards Rika's house with a racing heart. The time had come for him to tell Renamon. To tell her everything that bore in his dragon heart. As he grew closer to the edge of the roof he pushed off and flipped into the air with somersault, and landing on the next roof and running along. The training he had done in the past week was paying off, and hopefully that would attract Renamon more to his love for her. He quickly came up to the rooftop of Rika's house and slowed down thinking. His eyes falling down on the empty courtyard that laid below him. "Alright…take a deep breath Flamedramon…" he whispered, "It's time…" However as soon as Flamedramon was about to jump off the roof, and into the courtyard, a door could be heard opening and quickly grabbed on the edge with his toes. Flame fell back onto the roof and rubbed his head from hitting it on the tiles of the roof. "Ouch…" he said mumbling as he sat up, and noticed that it was Renamon that was walking into the courtyard. His eyes grew wide and his hands shook nervously at the sight of her beauty as he hunched in the shadows watching her. His eyes move up and down her body and soon saw a stereo in her paws. "What is she doing with that?" he wondered.

Renamon looked around the courtyard curiously for any sign of someone, but couldn't sense or see anyone. "Good." She said placing the stereo down on a bench, and opened the CD compartment. Rika had shown her many times how to work the stereo so she didn't have problems has she picked up a CD and placed it inside. She looked at the back of the CD and down the list of songs, and saw one song that fit her in a way. With a small smile across her fox face, Renamon pressed play, and moved to the centre of the courtyard and closed her eyes waiting for the song to begin.

Meanwhile Flamedramon stared with his reddish eyes in wonder as Renamon stood in the courtyard alone. "Is she meditating?" he wondered, but soon a song started to come from the stereo.

I can't pretend anymore, that I an\m not a factor,

I'm not moved, I can't lie to myself that I 'm not always thinking of you…

The song started out slow and calm with the singer's voice echoing like the wind that blew through the night's air. Renamon lifted her arms and started to move in circles slowly and lifting her feet gently following the beat of the song, and as the last words past she stood still until the beat of the song picked up.

You make me strong,

You show me I'm not weak to fall in love

When I thought I'd never need now I can't get enough.

I always made it on my own

I always thought that I would keep control

You changed everything I believe in

And now I just can't fight this feeling baby

Flamedramon's jaw nearly dropped as he watched Renamon moved around the courtyard in a smooth and beautiful waltz. The sound of the song seemed to wrap it self around her bending to her actions, and soul. Wherever she went the tune of the song seemed to flow with her, and bring it to life. Flamedramon continued to stare with his hands shaking, but his heart rising faster and faster. While he always thought Renamon was beautiful in her own right, but seeing her now was like watching a goddess appear to welcome the harvest. He sat back and continued to watch Renamon as she danced to the song.

I raise me hands and I surrender

'Cause your love is too strong and I can't go on

Without your tender arms around me

I raise my hands and I surrender

I don't wanna resist 'cause your touch and your kiss

Have shattered my defences

I surrender

Renamon's eyes were closed as she followed the sound of the music allowing her feelings, and thoughts to guide her. She had done before when she was stressed, but this time…she wasn't stressed instead she was only confused. "I know I love him now, but how can I tell him. What would I do if he didn't feel the same." She wondered. "Could I live on…" A tear crossed the kitsune's eyes as she twirled to the beat of the song, and her thoughts ran towards the image of the dragon she loved.

I have to admit that I

Never thought I'd need someone this way

Cause you opened my eyes so that I can see so much more

I always made it on my own

I always thought that I would keep control

You changed everything I believe in

And Now I just can't fight this feeling

Flamedramon fixed his eyes on Renamon, and grew close to the edge of the roof just to get closer to her. He wished he could just jump down, and join her in the dance she was in. However, he didn't want to move, he didn't want to interrupt her as she did her dance under the moon light.

I surrender to this feeling in my heart

I surrender to the safety of your arms

To the touch of your lips

To the taste of your kiss

I raise my hands and I surrender

Cause your love is too strong and I can't go on

Without you…

I raise my hands and I surrender

Cause your love is too strong and I can't go on

Without your tender arms around me

I surrender

I can't pretend anymore

I can't lie to myself that I'm not always thinking of you…

As the song died down, Renamon slowly stopped her dance and opened her eyes breathing heavily. The courtyard was filled with silence as Renamon stood there taking in deep breaths. Flamedramon stood still unable to move a single inches as he watched the kitsune from the shadows.

Renamon sighed and pressed the off button on the stereo and picked it up with her paw. Her mind seemed clearer now, but still she felt confused about everything.

Flamedramon looked down at his clawed hands then looked up once more at Renamon. "I better come back later." He said to himself as he stood up, but soon the wet roof top got the better of his claw feet. "OH SH-!!!!" Flame yelled out as he fell on his back and slide down into the bushes below in a loud crash. Renamon looked to the sound and her eyes narrowed. She dropped the stereo and rushed over to the bush in anger. "Someone was spying on me!" She cursed in her thought as she stopped in front of the moving bushes. "Alright! Who the hell is in there?!" Renamon yelled in a loud angry tone. "Come out or I will rip that bush to pieces along with you!"

Flamedramon froze at Renamon's words and his eyes dashed around him as he tried to figure a way to escape, but sadly there was none. From his point of view, Renamon was standing right of the bush making it impossible for him to get out either way without her seeing him in the lights around the courtyard.

"Answer me now!" Renamon growled out again causing Flame to sigh. He wasn't going to get out of this clean, and might as well show himself. He stood up from the ground and poked his head out allowing Renamon to see him.

"Oh my god..." Renamon thought as her anger left her and was replaced with utter embarrassment. Flamedramon had been the one….and he saw her dance! Her yellow face quickly started to become a red hue as the dragon digimon walked out of the bush not allowing his eyes to meet hers. He stood in front of her, with his eyes still looking to the ground in what seem like shame. His feet moved a bit and his long blue tail tapped the ground as he became nervous from Renamon's presence. "Uhm…hi Renamon." Flame said breaking the silence between the two, and gently brought his face up. "Flamedramon….what are you doing here?" Renamon replied as she tried to regain her posture and look tough in front of him. Flamedramon looked back to the ground and just moved from side to side on his feet. "Well uh…..uhm I came here…well….I wanted to say…" Flamedramon's words mumbled on as he tried to control his nerves. Suddenly Renamon walked up towards the dragon, and reached her paw around his head. Flame's heart raced as he watched the kitsune do this, and wonder was she going to try and kiss him? Instead, as soon as Renamon moved to him, she pulled back her paw and held a piece of stick in her hand that came off the bush he landed in. "This was stuck in your fur." She said, and then started to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Flamedramon asked.

"That's the second time you have fallen off that roof…" Renamon said as she started to laugh. "You looked funny falling off there."

Flamedramon smiled, and chuckled as well as he looked at the stick in her paw. They continue to chuckle, and soon it turned to out right laughter.

For some reason they couldn't contain themselves, and continued to laugh, but then suddenly Flamedramon stopped and looked at the kitsune's eyes which caused Renamon to stop as well. Without realizing it, Flamedramon leaned in and kissed Renamon on the lips slowly and gently. Renamon's eyes widened in surprise, but soon relaxed at the smooth dragon kiss that felt so warm to her. However, Flame  pulled back with shocked eyes, and looked at her with embarrassment and utter shock to what he had done.

 "Oh my god…I'm so sorry Renamon." Flamedramon said feeling shamefulness come upon him. "I…..I better go."

"Flamedramon no."

Flame stopped, and turned his crimson eyes to her. "Stay…" Renamon whispered as her heart beat faster. In truth she loved the kiss, but why did he do it? Did he love her?

"Oh god please be that." She thought.

Flamedramon turned around and looked to the ground as the young fox looked at him. It was so hard for her not to just tell him what she had discovered in her heart, but she had to know. "Flame…I'm not mad, but…I want to know why did you…kiss me?"

Time seemed to freeze as Flamedramon heard her words pass through the air. His heart raced, and his eyes became soft with fear. It was his time to tell her. "Renamon…there is something I need to tell you…I…" Suddenly a sense passed over Flame, and his eyes turned to the right in time to see a ball of flames coming towards him and Renamon. "Get down!" Flame cried out pushing Renamon to the ground, and dodging the flames. The two rolled and quickly got into a stance looking around.

"Who fired that?!" Renamnon said looking around only as dirt sprung from the ground as fire balls continued to bombard them.

"Split up!" Renamon yelled as she took off in one direction, and Flame to the other.

Flamedramon looked around and then sensed a presence behind him. Before he could turn around, an arm came around his neck, and gripped him in a choke hold. Flame gasped for air, and struggle against the attacker. Quickly Flame brought his elbow down into the figure's gut. The figure grunted a bit, and released his grip allowing Flame to kick him in the chest propelling himself away from the attacker. Renamon saw this and quickly jumped down beside Flame. "You alright?" she asked looking at his neck which was red from the tight grip.

"I'll…be fine." Flame said looking up at the dark image of their attacker. Nothing could be seen clearly as the dirt continued to float in the air, but it soon started to die down, and allow the unknown fighter to be unveil. Renamon and Flamedramon gasped as they saw that standing there with glowing sapphire eyes was….Flamedramon…

Rika…

Rika looked at the plate of food in front of her and started to eat with her grandma and mother. Suddenly she heard a beeping coming from her pocket, and quickly pulled out her d-ark that flashed blue quickly. "What's wrong Rika?" Her mother said as she looked up from her plate. Rika quickly stood up, and looked at her family. 'Sorry I have to go." Then she turned around and rushed to the exit and to the streets of Shinjuku.

Davis…

Davis groaned as he looked over the many numbers of math homework that he had gotten today. It had been a while for him to get use to the hard math, but Takato was great help at math at the beginning. Now it seemed easier to understand, but still the questions were hard as hell. "Still having trouble?" Takato said as he sat on his bed sketching on a pad.

Davis lay back in the desk chair and sighed. "If I had known math would be this hard in high school I would have studied more when I was home." Davis mumbled.

"Hey you're still beating Kenta and Kazu in Math."

Davis laughed, "Good point. They were pretty mad when I managed to pull off a B on that test while they got a C+."

The two tamers laughed more when all of a sudden Davis' d-ark flared up in a series of beeps and red light. "What the? ACK!!" Davis cried out as he fell back onto to the floor taking the chair with him.

"You alright?" Takato said as he climbed down the side of the bunk bed to Davis.
"Yeah…the floor broke my fall…" Davis said rubbing his head and grabbing his D-ark from the desk. His brown eyes went wide and he looked at Takato. "How long does it take to get Guilmon, and the others?"
"Huh why?"
"Flamedramon…is facing himself."

Rika's house…

"What is this?" Flamedramon said as he stared at the dark twin of himself that stood in front of him and Renamon. The black armour and black skin of the twin seemed to blend into the night making him almost invisible. His eyes glowed brightly with a blue aura that lit up his black cold mask, and the white kanji symbol of darkness pulsed with an evil light.

The BlackFlamedramon only smirked at Flame's question, and stared at him. "What do you think?" he said in a voice similar to Flame's, but more sinister in nature.

Renamon narrowed her eyes at BlackFlamedramon, and glanced over to Flame who didn't reply to the question. The black dragon folded his arms, and chuckled to himself. "Don't want to answer me? I guess that would be more sensible since you probably have no idea what to think."

Flamedramon narrowed his eyes at the BlackFlamedramon that stood in front of him and Renamon. His claws extended out and his stance ready for anything from this copy. Black noticed this, and smirked. "So the fire dragon is ready for anything….you better cause you will die at my hands…" Suddenly with a flash he disappeared leaving Renamon and Flame. Renamon moved her eyes and allowed her mind to search out for this digimon's power levels, but she couldn't sense anything.

Seconds passed and nothing happened with only the sound of the night wind coming across the courtyard. "Did he leave?" Renamon asked, but before Flame could answer, a claw appeared and hit Renamon's skull sending her flying into the bush.
"Renamon!" Flame called out, but soon fell silent as a fist hit him in the stomach knocking the wind out of him. "Don't worry about her fire dragon…she's not part of our fun." Black said as he appeared in front Flame, and punched him in the jaw bone causing Flame to fall to the ground.

Blood tricked down Flame's nose as he looked up at Black with anger in his eyes. He slashed at Black, but only found air as the dark dragon dodged his attack, and punched him in the chest. "Agghhhh!" Flame grunted at the shot, and growled as he launched a Knuckle Fire towards Black. The dark dragon held out his claw and a shield appeared blocking the fireball. "What?"

"Ha ha shocking isn't?" Black chuckled.

"What the hell are you?"

"Merely a shadow of what you will never become…" Black said as he walked towards Flamedramon with his gauntlets burning with dark flames that glowed around his claws. "And will never know."
"Diamond Storm!!!" Renamon's voice cried out as shards of diamonds cut through the air of the night and slamming BlackFlamedramon into the wall, sending dirt into the air.

"You alright?" Renamon said as she grabbed Flame's hand, and lifted him up.
"Yeah just a bit banged up…are you?"
"I'm fine, but we have to get out of here."

Suddenly a shadow appeared behind them, and the dark dragon reappeared. "That hurt." He mumbled as he punched Renamon in the face, and kicked Flame in the chest sending the two into the dirt.

"You know I wouldn't have involved you fox, but I can make an exception."

Flamedramon and Renamon flipped back to their feet and charged Black slashing at the dark dragon with all there efforts. "Ha ha ha you can do better!" Black teased as he blocked their slashes, and attacks. The two pulled back and glanced at one another. "Tell me you have faced someone like this?" Flame asked.

"No, you?" Renamon replied.

"Nope…"

"Of course you have never faced something like me." Black sneered with his claws at his sides. "If you did you wouldn't be here!" he cried out charging the dragon and fox.

"Card Slash!!! Speed activate!" Davis and Rika called out as they scanned their cards in sending speed into Flamedramon and Renamon's legs. The two dodged the attack, and pulled back to Davis and Rika.
 Davis stared at the BlackFlamedramon with amazement, and confusion.

"Flamedramon what is going on?" he said looking at his partner.

"We don't know he just came out of no where." Flame answered as he got in a stance.

"Is he another creature like Wayne was?" Rika questioned.
Black chuckled and stared at the tamers with an evil glare that sent chills up their spines.

"No…I am more then you humans can possibly imagine." Black said with amusement in his voice. His dark blue eyes scanned the tamers and then suddenly moved onto sounds of Takato and Henry coming into view with there digimons in tow. Black smiled once again as he saw the Raidramon that his master had sent before come into view. "Well…it seems you all want to play? So sad I don't have the time to. DARKNESS SHIELD!!!" A wall of blackness flew up into the air and came started to crash down onto the ground. Renamon quickly dashed forward just as the wall came down and separated the others from the battle.

"Guilmon! Try to break through it." Takato yelled.

Guilmon posed and launched a Pyro Sphere into the wall, but it only seemed to block the attack. Terriermon fired off his own attacks and Wayne charged with his claws but the mist stopped them all. Davis looked at his digivice, and slashed a power card through the slot. If he couldn't see his partner, he could at least send him some help. Suddenly a beeping noise came from his screen, which read LINK BROKEN…

 "How could we lose a link?" Davis said as fear for his partner started to build. Rika grinded her teeth in frustration as her digivice would scan the cards either. Even her mental link with Renamon was somehow being blocked. "It looks like they're on their own." Rika mumbled as she stared into the dark clouds and hoped that Renamon and Flamedramon could win.

Flame's eyes darted all over the place as he tried to find Black, but the dark mist that surrounded him blinded his vision. Suddenly a hand touched Flame shoulder and he turned around with his claws ready.
"Wow it's only me Flame." Renamon said as she looked at Flame.

"Sorry Rena…" the dragon replied, and soon the darkness lit up a bit revealing Black standing behind Renamon. "Look out!" However it was too late as Black nailed Renamon into a tree knocking her out. "Renamon!"

"Sorry fire dragon she's out. Just you and me." The dark dragon smirked.

"Why you…you bastard!!"

Flamedramon charged Black with his claws blazing in raging fires. Flamedramon launched a set of fire knuckles as he dashed forward to BlackFlamedramon. The fireballs nailed Black, but were merely absorbed into a dark shield that surrounded him. Flame clenched his teeth, and dashed to the left and right slashing at the chest of BlackFlame. However, his slashes were only met with the blades of the dark dragon that blocked them all. Flamedramon narrowed his eyes, and put the pressure on his twin, but he wondered was Renamon ok?

Renamon moaned as she opened her eyes slowly. The world seemed to be spinning around her as looked only to see a set of blurs moving around. "Uhhhh….Flamedramon?" she mumbled. Her fox eyes slowly started to focus and the blurs becoming clearer by the minute. Soon she could make out Flame's red armour as he battled BlackFlamdramon. Renamon quickly got to her feet, but the world spun around like a tornado and she fell down to her knees holding her head. Dizziness filled her senses. "Grrrr….I have to help him….I have to protect him." Renamon said as she looked up at Flamedramon and Black trying to stand up, but the dizziness overcame her and she fell to the ground. Her vision started to unfocus again as she watched the figure of Flame disappear in a blur once more.

"You can't win." Black teased as he blocked another shot from Flamedramon and kicked him in the chest causing a loud crack to rip through the air. "Aghhhh!" Flame cried out as he felt his rib break under the strike. He held his chest with one of his clawed hands and took another swipe at BlackFlamedramon with his free hand, but the dark dragon only caught it and squeezed Flame's hand in his claws. "Why do you try fire dragon? Why put yourself through the pain? Or is it that…your heart is driving you more then your head."

Flamedramon growled at his twin, and kicked Black in the chest pushing himself back and sending himself back a few yards from Black.

The dark dragon smirked at Flamedramon's growls and walked towards his bleeding counterpart. "I think I have found a weakness in you…." He sneered as he grew closer and closer. "The reason that makes you seem like a fool…." The blue eyes turned to the still unconscious of Renamon then back to Flame's. "Once I kill you…maybe I will have some fun with your love….perhaps she can be my personal toy…"
Flamedramon's eyes went narrowed, and a rage inside him grew like never before. "You'll pay for your words!" he cried charging towards BlackFlamedramon. Renamon's eyes open at Flame's words, and she looked over to see her love charge.

Flamedramon slashed at Black's head, but suddenly the dark dragon disappeared out of sight. "What?" Flame said as he saw this then suddenly feel a ripping pain go down his back and through his chest. His crimson eyes looked down only to see a gleaming blade sprouted from his chest. His blood pouring from the wound; his eyes moved behind him where Black stood there with a smile across his face.

"I win…" the dark dragon breathed down pulling his blade out of Flame and sending him to the cold dirt. Flamedramon groaned as his very life drained with his blood that seeped into the ground. He moved his eyes to Renamon who stared at him with…tears…tears were coming down her face, and she cried out his name, but even then it started to feel distant to him. 'Renamon…I'm sorry…I love you…." Flame said as life escaped him.

Davis d-arc suddenly went dark and a tone echoed from it. All the tamers looked to Davis as he looked at the small device for a clue. But soon Davis' face went white and he dropped the D-arc to the ground. "Davis…what's wrong?" Rika asked as he looked at Davis with worry.

The young man looked to Rika in disbelief, and shock. 'Flamedramon……he's……dead…"

Flamedramon dead? What's going to happen to the tamers now? And how will Renamon be able to face BlackFlamedramon by herself? Find out in the next chapter of Digimon: A New World
