This is the second chapter of my revised story. If you are want me to write more on The Great Myotismon War, you will have to review either one of my Rika's Return stories.
This chapter could be split into two chapters, but I'm too lazy to do it right now.

Unexpected Parties

"Miss? Miss. Hey you!" Somebody shouted. Rika woke with a start, her instincts wanting to kick somebody where they wouldn't forget it. "We're getting off. You coming too, or are you waiting for the next flight?"

She would normally fling some colorful curses. But for some odd reason, she was very happy, feeling whole, and not in the mood to harm anyone. When she realized where she was and why she was there, she stretched, yawned, and got up, heading towards the exit. Note to self: don't fall asleep on any plane again.

Rika got out of the gate and began looking for the carousel that had her suitcase. Because she was one of the last people on, her luggage was the first out; it wasn't hard to find. She looked out the window and saw that it was late, or was it early?

"Rika!"

"Mom?" Rika said to herself, confused…

Rika wasn't the only one who heard Rumiko's shout. The strange lady recognized Rika's name, but stared at how much she has changed. She shook her head, thinking, Of course, she would have changed. That's probably why I didn't recognize her. Why did I think she would be the same on her return? She thought. She looked around discreetly to see if anyone else was watching her, and she saw a little kid looking up at her curiously, strait into her blue eyes. She smiled at the kid. He smiled back.

Now, how am I going to surprise Rika?

…Why is she here? I told Grandma to pick me up. When she saw her mom, she put on the best forced smile that she could manage for the moment. It was then that she noticed that her grandma, Seiko, was with her. Did you rat on me, Grandma? She smiled. For some odd reason, she really didn't care. She hugged both her mom and grandma. "Welcome home, honey," said Rumiko, releasing her daughter. Looking down at her suitcase, she felt her heart sink. Only one suitcase? I always need at least four for a decent stay. "How long are you planning on staying?" She asked, fearing the answer.

"A month, maybe more. Why?" Rika answered.

"Oh, no reason," she replied falsely joyful. Rika recognized this but didn't comment on it.

Rika then had the feeling that someone was watching her. She turned around and saw the strange lady looking at her. The moment that she noticed Rika was looking at her, she looked slightly over Rika's shoulder and seemed not to notice her staring. What is with this lady? It's like I should know her, but I can't place the face. Turning back around, she walked with her mom and grandma to the subway station.

Well, at least this is better than when I got to America…

A man gently shook Rika's shoulder, trying to get her to wake up. "Wake up! Everybody's getting off! Come on… oof!" The man doubled over, being kicked in the stomach by Rika's foot.

And I was having such a great nap. She rubbed her eyes, waking up enough to realize that everybody was getting off. Getting up from her seat, she hit her head on the overhead compartment. Stifling a curse, she went to the front of the plane where the exit was.

Just then, a thought hit her in between the eyes: Where am I going to go? She cursed at herself. How could I be so stupid not to find a place to stay? I'll probably end up with a girl who paints her toenails a different color every other hour, she thought darkly as she walked out of the terminal. She noticed someone seemed to be waiting, holding a… D-ark? When she looked again, the Digivice was gone, replaced with a cell phone. Rika, calm down. You're clearly seeing things.

Getting her luggage took a while, mostly because hers was near the top. She walked over to the entrance, only to find a man with black hair holding a card with her name on it. She walked over to him, not knowing what, or who, to expect.

"You waiting for Rika Nonaka?" She asked him coolly.

"Yeah, do you know where I could find her?" He asked, trying to be as cordial as possible. Who is this intimidating lady? He stifled a shiver.

She nodded her head yes, then asked "So, where's your car?" trying to throw him off. She succeeded.

"Huh?" he said, confused. She let him think about it before she gave him the you're-an-idiot look. "Oh," He finally got it. "Uh, follow me," he said, moving towards the door.

She followed him to his car. After putting her suitcase in the back of the car, she got in.

"Do you know who your roommate is?" he asked

"No." she answered darkly, crossing her arms in front of herself. "I don't even know if I have a room."

"The school wondered if you would get your mail before you left: I guess you didn't. There's a copy in the back seat for you." She glared at him, waiting for him to divulge where he got the information.

Feeling Rika's stare, he said defensively, "Look, I was called up by the school to give you your stuff: I didn't steal it."

Uh-huh. Sure. She didn't believe him. "So, what's your name?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Michael McLaud,"

The cab pulled up to Rumiko's house. After getting out of the cab, Rika and her "moms," went to the house. Rika thought it was odd that a lot of the lights were on for this time of night, but didn't think much about it. As Rumiko was unlocking the front door, she encouraged Rika to stand in front of the door…
Another cab pulled up to a house one block away from Rika's house. The strange lady got out of the cab. I hate sitting like that. "How much do I owe you?" she asked the cabbie in her deep voice.

"450 Yen." he said.

Good thing I exchanged money when I was in the U.S. By the rate she was moving, I wouldn't be surprised if Rumiko is having a party for her. She gave him the money (Too much in her opinion, but she didn't have time to argue) and thanked him for his services. As she was walking towards Rika's house, the driver noticed something very strange about the lady.

That woman has a tail!

…Rumiko unlocked the door very slowly… Then opened the door wide as all of Rika's friends yelled "SURPRISE!"

Forgetting how much she hated surprises, she was very exited about meeting everyone that she hadn't seen in almost two years. Grandma, you did rat on me! She looked over to Seiko and smiled, hugging Jeri at the same time. Thanks, Grandma.

"Hello, princess."

Rika winced. Did they have to invite him "Ryo," She said curtly, getting out of Jeri's hug and turning to see him.

"She remembered me!" He hugged her. Keep it up pretty boy, and you won't be so pretty. Either sensing her tensing up, or deciding that a quick hug was the best for now, he let her go. "I like your hair," he commented.

"I didn't do it for you, if that's what you're wondering." She said almost disdainfully.

"It looks pretty just the same," he smirked.

Rika glared at him as if daring him to say more when she heard a very cheerful voice. "Yay! Welcome back, Rika!" It's nice to see you too, Calumon. Rika smiled as the white Digimon landed on her head and started messing with her hair.

As Rika was looking for the food, she noticed someone not there. Where's Renamon? "Mom, where's Renamon?" Rika asked. All conversation died. Even Calumon's ears decided to hide. Crickets, that's your cue. Rika looked at her mom, but she decided the floor was very interesting at that point in time. "Takato?" She asked sternly as she looked at him. He looked down at his arm. "Kazu!" She threatened. He backed away, but didn't answer her, either. She felt her stomach drop a few feet. Renamon… "Where's Renamon?" She shouted, worried out of her wits. If something has happened to her…

The strange lady got to the door just as Calumon welcomed Rika home. She took off her hat and put one of her ears to the door, trying to gauge the right time to come in. The lady then heard something that made her start: "Mom, where's Renamon?" Why did I ever doubt she cared. She looked at the door, then quickly put her head back to the door. She unzipped her coat, revealing nothing but yellow fur underneath the coat. Don't worry, Rika; Renamon is closer than you know…
Rika could feel the world around her crumbling to oblivion. No… Renamon. Snapping back to reality, Rika took hold of Kazu and pinned him against the nearest wall. "WHERE IS SHE?" She yelled at him. Kenta was about to help him, but one side glance from Rika told him that helping Kazu would end them both up on the wall.

"Rika, calm down!" Henry said, placing a hand on her shoulder…

Apparently, she cares too much. Who am I going to save: Kenta or Kazu? The strange lady asked herself.

She opened the door, waiting for everyone to get a good look at her…

"…It wasn't Kazu's fault!" Henry said, trying to placate Rika, but she wasn't in the mood to be talked to. She wanted to see Renamon now. Or to learn what happened to her and kill the ones responsible.

At that moment, the door opened and everyone was looking at a strange lady that looked like Renamon with blush on and a coat. Rika was too busy choking Kazu to even notice the door was open, however even she noticed something was different when Kazu's eyes opened wide, but Rika wasn't sure if that was from some sort of surprise or the need for air. He started to point behind Rika, and, hoping it was Renamon, she looked. "Renamon!" she smiled, and ran towards her, letting go of Kazu. He fell to the floor and started gasping for air.

Kazu. Why am I not surprised? Renamon closed the door after her, and gladly accepted the hug that Rika gave her. The hug would have lasted longer if they were alone, but because everyone was watching them, it was a quick one. Afterwards, Rika looked at Renamon and recognized that she was wearing clothes. "Trying to start a new fashion?" Rika got a good look at her as she got all of the pieces put together.

"Miss me?" Renamon, or rather, the strange lady asked.

"Only slightly," She lied, shrugging. OF COURSE! I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU! Renamon smiled, knowing Rika well enough to know she was worried out of her wits. "So, where were you? This…" she said pointing her thumb over her shoulder to Kazu, who was being helped up by Henry. "…blockhead didn't know where you were, and I have a feeling that no one else did, either." She didn't look at anyone specifically, but she didn't have to.

"Uh, Rika, about the party…" Takato was quickly cut off by Rika's angry shout.

"Can it, Gogglehead!" Everybody, especially Ryo, was used to having Rika yell at them, so they knew when she was in the mood to beat up someone bad enough to warrant a visit to the hospital, or when she wasn't. She must be very angry to yell at Takato like that. Ryo thought. And I would probably have my lunch on the floor if I even uttered a syllable. Apparently realizing how rude she was being, she changed her attitude and started being a bit more civil. Turning to look at Renamon, she asked as calmly as possible: "So, what were you doing in America, Renamon?"

"I was looking for you," She replied in her normal tone of voice. "Unfortunately, I never found you until after you got home." Rika could tell that Renamon was smiling.

Rika and Renamon were interrupted from their reunion by multiple cell phones going off. Even Susie reached for her cell phone. Rika glared at them. Boy, are they lacking in manners. They all listened for a while, then looked like they saw Leomon's ghost.

"Susie, Lopmon, you two stay here," ordered Henry sternly as he shut his phone. Susie looked like she was about to pout, but just looking at her older brother told her that no amount of pouting would get her to come with him.

"Uh, Rika, Renamon, I think you should come with us," Takato said nervously, fearing his head would be separated from his body.

Rika could feel the adrenaline beginning to flow through her body. "A Digimon?" she asked, looking at him. It was at that moment that she realized that he didn't have his famous goggles on his head.

Ryo answered her: "Yes, and a strong one, too. Maybe even a Mega." Rika's raised her eyebrows a few centimeters. Wow, He's actually being serious. Must be something very powerful to rattle Ryo.

"Got it. Renamon?" she asked, looking for her, only to find her eating some food very quickly. And I thought I was hungry…

It took a while for Renamon to get enough food swallowed to where she could talk. "Sorry, Rika. I haven't eaten decent food in a long time."

"Don't worry. I haven't eaten in a while, either." She said, smiling.

"Come on! We have to go! It's very, very close!" shouted Henry. Must be very strong to rattle Henry…

They all heard the sound of something crashing outside. Rika glared at Ryo. How close, Pretty Boy?

"Come on!" Takato yelled, running to the door.

Everybody ran outside, only to see a huge insectoid Digimon in the process of demolishing the house across the street. It looked like a Kabuterimon, except for the fact that it was bigger and had a yellow shell, with three horns making a curvy "W." Pulling out her D-ark, Rika began getting info about the Digimon: "Let's see: 'Hercules­Kabuterimon: Insectoid Digimon. Mega! Main attacks are Giga Scissor Claw and… Mega Electro Shocker,'" she read, letting the D-ark slowly drop to her side. Hercules­Kabuterimon, noticing her gaze, decided to take things to the air. Lifting the shell that concealed the wings, he began to beat them furiously to begin his ascent.

"Come on, guys! Let's do it!" Takato shouted, as he pointed he D-ark to his front, with Guilmon behind him. Rika noticed that all the rest of the tamers that could Biomerge were ready. Except maybe hungry me, she thought sourly as she heard her stomach growl. Relenting, she also got her D-ark ready for the Biomerge. This is gonna be a fight to remember.

The Tamers all called out, "Biomerge activate" joining with their Digimon.

Henry, Takato, Rika, and Ryo all Biomerged with their partner Digimon: Terriermon, Guilmon, Renamon, and Cyberdramon, respectively, to make MegaGargomon, Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, and Justimon.

It's been so long. Rika thought. I have forgotten how this feels. Then again, the last time I did this was, what, seven or eight years ago?

Apparently HerculesKabuterimon wasn't expecting Rika. Why the heck is he staring at me? She asked herself.

"Uh… Sakuyamon? Have you two met before?" Takato asked, looking up at Hercules­Kabuterimon, who was hugging himself with all four of his arms. For some odd reason, Takato wasn't comfortable with how that looked.

Rika glared at Gallantmon. "Of course we haven't met," she gritted. "Do you think I would be here in a fighting stance if I knew him? I would be going 'Hi, Hercules­Kabuterimon, how's it going? Having a nice time? Long time no see.'" She said peevishly, then got thoughtful. "It is a bit strange that he is… Look out!" She dove out of the way as a burst of electricity formed in front of Hercules­Kabuterimon's arms, aimed right at her. And I came home for this? Rika thought sourly as Sakuyamon got up. The blast from Hercules­Kabuterimon's Mega Electro Shocker left a good size hole in the middle of the road.

Thinking fast, Takato made a decision, one he later hoped he wouldn't regret. "Okay, let's split up. Mega­Gargomon with me; Justimon, you go…" What was I thinking? "with Sakuyamon." Don't kill me, Rika, he flinched. "Let's try to flank him."

Rika looked at Gallantmon, thinking how funny his words would have been had they been said any other time. That was dumb of you, Takato. What were you thinking? You know I'll kill Ryo, and maybe even you Nevertheless, both Sakuyamon and Justimon followed the orders given to them.

This somehow confused HerculesKabuterimon, but Rika couldn't understand why. If he was concentrating on me, why would he be confused by me being with pretty boy? Why not attack me now? Apparently getting really confused, Hercules­Kabuterimon decided that enough was enough: he started to fly away. "Oh, no you don't!" Rika and Renamon shouted and started to follow him.

"Sakuyamon!" MegaGargomon and Gallantmon shouted. Recognizing that there was a target that could be singled out, Hercules­Kabuterimon turned around and was about to slice Sakuyamon into ribbons if it wasn't for her companions.

"Giga…" HerculesKabuterimon began in his hoarse voice, but was cut off by three others.

"Shield of the Just!" Gallantmon shouted, pointing his shield at Hercules­Kabuterimon, making the four triangular-like beams hit him close to his head.

"Justice Burst!" Justimon shouted, shooting blasts of energy at the big bug.

"Gargo Barrage!" MegaGargomon shouted, unleashing his entire arsenal on Hercules­Kabuterimon.

Sakuyamon was lucky not to get hit by a stray missile: she was just a tad too close to Hercules­Kabuterimon. If you hit me… "Ah!" That was too close! "Mega­Gargomon!…"

THUD!

"That must've hurt!" Good ol' Terriermon. Rika smirked, shaking her head. He never changes.

"Terriermon!" Henry said in a reprimanding, if slightly resigned, tone.

"What?"

Landing on the ground, Sakuyamon walked over to Hercules­Kabuterimon and placed her staff threateningly close to where his neck would have been. "How do you know me?" Rika snapped.

"Rika's s-supposed… t-to be… dead!" he screamed as his data dispersed. Rika could swear that the whole world was staring at her as if she was a ghost. I wonder why he thought that. It's not that the plane crashed when I was asleep, she thought half-jokingly as the Biomerged Digimon split up. Hearing her stomach growl again, she decided it was time to get something to eat and started walking to her home. She felt seven pair of very intent eyes staring at her back. Starting to get uncomfortable, she turned around and asked "Hey! You guys coming or not?" she called out over her shoulder.

"Rika," Renamon said, appearing by her left shoulder. It would have startled anyone else, but Rika was used to it. "What did Hercules­Kabuterimon mean when he said that you're supposed to be dead?" Renamon asked, worried.

"I don't know." she shrugged nonchalantly, inwardly fighting to control her fear. It's alright. He just said that to rattle me. I'm OK. I'm going to be OK.

Walking past everybody that was standing by the door, she got in and started getting food to eat. There's no way I'm going to let this rattle me.

"That was quick. So, who was it?" Susie asked Rika.

"It was a HerculesKabuterimon, a Mega form of a Kabuterimon," she answered. Her tone made Susie curious as to why she had ventured that much information, but she knew that Rika wasn't one who answered questions about herself to people she didn't know, and right now, Susie didn't consider herself a close friend.

"Rika!" Rumiko cried as she entered in her house, running to Rika and hugging her forcefully. Mom, if you start to… Rumiko started to cry. Rika looked over her mom's shoulder and looked at her grandmother. She also looked close to tears. Feeling herself starting to water up, she tried to reassure them all: "I'm Okay, I'm Okay, mom," she said, hugging her back.

While they were hugging, the rest of the Tamers and their Digimon walked into the house, still with a haunted look in their eyes.

Susie, curious, went over to her brother, tapped him on his shoulder, and whispered into his ear "What is going on?" Henry didn't answer, but looked back at Rika.

It was Ryo that broke the silence: "So princess, what are you going to do: Come back among the living, or weep over your death?"

The room got silent again, not because there was someone missing, but because they were expecting Rika's fury to kill Ryo then have her physically throttle what was left of him to oblivion.

Rika's glare would have made lead boil. She smiled without warmth at him. "Ryo, I'm sure you would be happy to join me." She let go of her shocked mother to look Ryo strait in the eye.

Suspecting what Rika was thinking and not liking it, he still asked "Join you where?" with a nonchalant shrug.

Takato also apparently knew where she was going and was just as nervous as Ryo, but he showed it. "Uhh… I don't think you want to know."

"Rika, I think you need to calm down," Henry said, stepping forward. Always the peacekeeper, aren't you? "I think that whatever was planned for you didn't work out."

"Ah, who knows?" Kazu commented, flinching a little when Rika looked at him. "Maybe the Digimon that was supposed to get you was destroyed by Renamon."

"Yeah, or an American Tamer." Kenta added.

"And maybe that same someone sent me that stupid letter to go to College." Rika added darkly.

"Rika!" Renamon breathed, shocked. Since when did her Tamer decide to hate the scholarship letter and/or America?

Rika, still in a dark mood, decided to sit down for a while. After brooding for a few minutes, she heard snores coming from someone. That someone turned out to be Terriermon. Looking at everyone else, she could tell that they were all sleepy. "Perhaps we should all go to bed," she said, rubbing her eyes for emphasis. She herslef wasn't that tired, but she was certain that everyone else was. For some of the Tamers, it took a while for the light to click; they were that sleepy.

"Yeah, better catch a cab. I don't think I can drive right now," said Henry, rubbing his eyes, vainly trying to stay awake.

After calling a cab service, the rest of the Tamers left Rika's house, leaving Rika, Renamon, Rumiko, and Seiko to the house. Rumiko and her mom instantly went to bed, but Rika wasn't tired. Instead, she decided to listen to the messages on her phone. Selecting the "Play all" option, she listened to them:

"Message one:" The computerized voice said

"Uh, hi Rika. Th-This is Takato. I'm just calling to tell you… Huh, what?" Pause. Kazu saying something. "Shut up, Kazu! I won't say that: She'll kill me! Anyway, we're planning a little surprise party for you when you get back… Hey!"

"Takato loves you!" Kazu said very loudly and obnoxiously into the phone. Rika could feel herself blushing.

"Kazu… Give … back!"

"Not until you agree to say 'I love you, Rika,'" Boys. Huh! Typical. She could barely hear Kazu and Takato, probably because he was playing keep-away with the phone.

Takato sounded like he said, "Yeah, yeah, just give me the phone," and his voice was very loud, as if his mouth was very close to the receiver. "Hi, Rika… Uhhhh, I love you. As a friend." Rika could hear Kazu and some of his friends complaining on how he botched it. Rika smirked; delighted to know that Kazu's plan backfired.

"Aww, man!" Kazu groaned, "You-" Beep.

"End of message one." That was embarrassing. "Message two:"

"Hi, Rika!" She winced and groaned. What are you calling about now? "This is Lindsey, your roommate. I'm calling because you missed your computer. How are you going to E-mail me?" Pause. "Rika?" Another pause. "Are you there? Oh!" She laughed her annoying ditzy laugh. "Silly me! This must be your cell phone's answering machi-" Beeeeeeeeeeep.

"Message two erased." Who's more annoying: Pretty Boy or Lindsey? "Message three:"

"Hi, Rika. This is Michael. Just checking to see if you made it home safely. Call when you can. Bye." Beep.

"End of Message three. Message four:"

"Uh, Rika, this is Michael. Are you… Okay? I just got a very bad feeling that you were in trouble. Call back as soon as you can," Beep.

"End of message four." Beep. "End of messages."

That was odd. I wonder when he had that strange feeling, she thought to herself as she called Michael's phone…

"Uh, we have a problem," said a woman's voice.

"What now. Where and how strong?" asked an irritated voice that came from a black-haired man.

"The 'where' is the problem: we don't know. How strong: Rookie. She's no longer on our scanners."

"She?" he said confused. It didn't take him long to connect the dots. "Crap! Where did she go!"

"Don't know, Mikey."

He slumped into a nearby chair. "Her Tamer is going to kill me," he groaned.

"That's if Mr. Robinson doesn't get you first," she added, speaking into his ear.

His blue eyes got very wide. Turning his chair around, he looked into her blue eyes. "He wouldn't! He doesn't even know about it…"

"Know about what?" said a commanding voice.

Turning his chair sideways, he looked over at their boss. "Oh, nothing. We were just discussing… the weather…"

"You were talking about the tame Digimon without the Tamer," he stated. Mikey didn't look into Mr. Robinson's eyes. I knew it, "Where was she last seen? Alisha." he ordered, looking at the woman.

"I was looking at the Airport's security tapes," said the lady. "For some odd reason, I can't find… Wait!" she said abruptly, kind of recognizing something, going back and forth between two points. She smiled. "You sly fox. She's going incognito."

"What flight?" Mr. Robinson asked.

It didn't take long for her to follow the Digimon to where she could identify which flight she had taken. "Flight 183: Los Angeles to Tokyo…"

"Rika!" Everyone looked at him, but he was saved from further embarrassment by a phone ringing.

Rrrring.

It took a moment before Mikey realized it was his cell phone ringing.

Rrrring.

Beeep. Beeep.

Michael, answer your stupid phone!

"Something wrong, Rika?" Renamon asked, materializing from the shadows.

"Don't think so, but I'm just being careful." Rika answered.

Eight… Nine… Ten- where are you!

"Yeah, what?" said a distracted voice.

"My, aren't you in a good mood, Michael? Did I wake you?" she asked sarcastically, a little surprised by his answer.

Michael? Renamon looked at her Tamer. How does she know Michael? Renamon got close enough to the phone to hear what was going on.

"No, I'm just having a bad day at work today." he answered tiredly.

"Did you miss me?" Renamon said, loud enough to be picked up by the receiver.

"Renamon!" Rika said, shocked, covering the receiver end of her cell phone. Renamon was only known to her closest friends, and Mikey might be a friend, but he's not that close.

"'Renamon'?" Michael repeated, dumbfounded. How would Rika know Renamon? Their first meeting didn't start at the best of terms. What if Rika is a Tamer?

He then remembered something that Rika did when there was a Digimon convention: she dressed up as a Renamon, mainly because you were supposed to dress up as your favorite Digimon. The needed pieces started clicking into place: Rika's happy mood when she was going home, Renamon, Rika's usually sour and sometimes dark mood, etc…

"I'm just calling to say that I'm fine. No need to worry about me." Rika said in her bug-me-and-die tone of voice.

"Wait! I'm a Tamer, too," he called out, hoping she wasn't about to hang up and didn't hear.

Silence greeted him. From both ends.

"Mind repeating that, flyboy," she finally requested, her tone making it clear she wasn't happy about it.

"Don't worry; I'm a Tamer, like you. Why didn't you bring Renamon with you?" he asked.

"Because 'Potentially dangerous and harmful exotic pets.' wouldn't be allowed without an expensive license." Even though it was an old issue, it still was a cause of extreme irritation for her, which Renamon noticed by the sound of a plastic device being squeezed a little too tightly.

"'Dangerous and harmful pets'? Where did you get that idea?" Michael asked, confused. Where did she get that strange idea?

"Yamaki went over to the U.S. to arrange me getting Renamon taken over, but the person he met said that they were pets," she said with thinly veiled contempt.

"One moment," he asked Rika. Covering the receiver, he turned to his boss, "Mr. Robinson, did you meet anyone named Yamaki?" Mr. Robinson shook his head no. "Has any one of your friends mentioned meeting someone named Yamaki?"

Mr. Robinson shook his head and said "No."

"Well, Rika, whomever he met wasn't part of the government. Did Yamaki say who he met?"

Rika was not in a good mood, and just a little bit hungry. When she was in a bad mood, she didn't necessarily think strait. "No, and I doubt that I will ask him in the near future." she said with a quiet murderous tone, turning off the phone before Michael could think of something to say.

She looked for Renamon, feeling the need to vent, but she had gone back to the shadows. Getting frustrated, she decided to take a little trip to the kitchen and make a proper dinner, even if she had to make Mac and Cheese.
