Hey my fellow readers!
Here's another chapter for you guys to enjoy!

Iris's POV

I was at another of one of Matt's concerts while Isaac and the others were in the Digital World helping out the local digimon. Ken hadn't shown his face since we last met and frankly the next time I see him, his ass was mine if he dared try to harm my cousin again. Matt really was good when it came to him singing and I couldn't be more proud of him. Some of his fan girls actually made sweet comments that the blonde and I were a cute pair, while others thought differently. Those girls I ignored eventually they would move on and find someone else to crush on. The show seemed to fly by and I was waiting for my mate along with T.K.

"I guess you can tolerate girls screaming all the time" T.K. teased.

I was in my usual get up the red tank top, black jeans and boots. My hair was tied in a braid today. I only flashed T.K. a smirk before the door opened from the dressing room and out came Matt looking worn out.

"You did well as always love" I praised him. Matt smirked before he placed a kiss against my forehead which got T.K. to roll his eyes.

"Holy crap it's really you!" a female voice rang out. We all turned to see a girl about Matt's age run over to us. Her name was Jun and she was Davis's older sister. She turned around and asked Matt if he could sign her t-shirt. Matt took the sharpie from her and began to sign his name while he asked Jun what her name was.

"Motomiya isn't Davis your younger brother?" T.K. asked Jun.

"Yes he is" Jun replied. She thanked Matt for signing her t-shirt before she asked T.K. to do the same. T.K. actually blushed before he obliged and I was smirking like an idiot while Matt suddenly looked to his digivice.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Something's up in the Digital World" my mate answered. "I hope Gabumon is okay"

After Jun left T.K. received Yolei's email telling us to get the school as soon as possible.

"So how was your date?" Isaac teased when I entered the computer lab with T.K. and Matt. Matt and I shot Isaac a shut up look before Yolei finished opening the portal. She would stay behind since Izzy wanted to examine her digivice so we all traveled from the real world to the digital one without her.

"Whoa Iris check it out" Davis stated when we finally got to the Digital World. I looked down and my eyes went wide when I noticed I now wore a sleeveless black jacket with silver flame designs at the edges. The jacket went down to my ankles and I felt like a badass in it. My black gloves were also back on me, I wore them whenever I came to the Digital World.

"Gabumon!" Matt exclaimed as he ran ahead to his partner. Gabumon was beaten up pretty bad but he was strong enough to perk his head when he heard Matt's voice. The two of them hugged while the others talked to Yolei from the television.

"Iris is that you?!" Gabumon suddenly called out to me and I hurriedly walked over to the wolf digimon. I bent down to the rookie's level and Gabumon's red eyes widened. "It really is you!"

Gabumon then wrapped his arms around me in a hug which I returned.

"It's good to see you again Gabumon"

"Same here you haven't changed one bit" the rookie stated after our hug ended.

I then examined Gabumon's injuries and began to heal them.

"Oh man that feels good" Gabumon stated with a sigh.

"Thanks Iris" Matt said to me after I finished healing his partner.

"Anything for you love" I told my mate.

"So Gabumon how the heck did you get hurt and what the hell is going on in this area?" Kiba demanded as she landed on top of my head.

"The Digimon Emperor put up a Control Spire in this area not too long ago and has been terrorizing the local digimon here, if they refuse to submit to him, they get thrown in jail, I tried to free a group of Gazimon, but a bunch of Vegiemon led by a RedVegiemon ambushed us and the red vegetable threw me over the cliff"

"They were under the control of the Dark Rings I take it" I suggested.

"Yes they were and once that Control Spire is destroyed the rings can came off" Gabumon added.

"Does anybody have any ideas on how to take down the Control Spire and free the digimon?" Kari inquired.

"I have one but I'm not sure if it's a good one" Davis suggested. "We could pretend to be prisoners of our digimon that way we can get into the jail and we can bust out"

"Nice thinking Davis I was thinking the same thing" Matt praised him.

"I guess great minds think alike!" Davis agreed.

It didn't take long for our digimon to tie us up and to each other before Gatomon gave each digimon a fake Dark Ring.

"This thing is damn uncomfortable" Kiba growled as we all headed towards the prison where the other digimon were being kept. My partner had her ring around her body and she rode on Gabumon's head.

"You'll get it off soon enough" I told her.

Right at the prison entrance the Vegimon stopped us.

"Easy we're one of you" Gatomon said to the Vegiemon holding up her paw to show her ring. "We brought prisoners for the emperor"

"One of them is the Princess too!" a Vegiemon squealed in delight as he saw me. "Oh man I hope I get a raise!"

The Vegiemon was so excited he actually jumped up and down.

"If anyone's going to get a raise its RedVegiemon!" another Vegiemon snapped. The group of Vegiemon guards then took us to a cell and we were tossed into it.

"Ow that hurt" Isaac growled. He and I then used our claws to undo our bindings before we freed the others. As we did this there was a bunch of racket next door and the sounds of Vegiemon whining and protesting was heard while Gabumon used his Blue Blaster to make a break in the cell wall.

"Good one pack mate" I praised Gabumon as we all cautiously made our way out of the cell. We regrouped with our digimon and followed Gabumon to a nearby cell where that group of Gazimon he had mentioned were being held. Like before Gabumon used his attack to free the Gazimon and once freed they all glomped the wolf digimon since they were happy to be out.

"It would be a good idea if we shifted to our wolf forms" I suggested to the others.

"I agree with you on that sis" Isaac added.

I gave Matt my D-3 and digivice while Isaac did the same with Kari before we shifted to our wolf forms. Isaac's fur was jet black while mine was dark grey with lighter shades of grey on my chest and other parts of my fur. Isaac and I made the others follow behind us as continued our way towards the top of the hill where the control spire was. Twice we almost got caught by Vegiemon thankfully the Vegiemon were too busy talking with one another to notice us as we slid by them. Once we were out of the prison grounds Isaac and I returned to our human forms.

"We're getting close to the spire" Kiba said as she landed on my shoulder.

"Indeed we are" Gabumon agreed. When the wolf digimon said that I heard Davis suddenly complaining about his sister. Matt got mad at Davis because he was being a jerk and bad mouthing his sister. Having enough he stormed over to Davis.

"Your sister actually didn't say anything about you" the blonde said.

"Whoa Matt take it easy!" T.K. voiced in and he hurriedly got in front of his brother. "We don't need any fighting!"

"T.K.' right love" I stated to my mate.

Matt only growled before T.K. let him go and the blonde turned around and headed in my direction. He took my hand into his and led me away from Davis and T.K.

"That kid needs to show more respect" Matt said.

"Yeah he does" I agreed. Kari actually got pissed and she stormed over to Davis as well. She gave Davis a lecture before Isaac hurriedly grabbed her hand and pulled her away.

"Holding your hand calms me down anyway" Matt told me as we finally came to the Control Spire.

I smirked at my boyfriend before we were ambushed by Vegiemon.

"Iris look out!" Matt cried as he pushed me away from him and a Vegiemon constricted my mate with its vines. A snarl escaped my lips and I shifted to my wolf form. I ran like hell towards the Vegiemon and used my body to slam into it. The impact caught the Vegiemon off guard and Matt got released. After returning to my human form I hurried over to my mate.

"Are you alright love?" I asked.

"Shouldn't I be the one to protect you?" Matt teased.

"Baka" I growled before I threw my arms around him. However our embrace was short lived when the Vegiemon group suddenly had us cornered and now we were on the edge of the cliff. Some of the other Vegimon held our partners captive in their vines. Kiba used her fangs to bite the skin of one Vegimon and she was able to free herself.

"Veemon!" Davis suddenly called. Up ahead Veemon was getting beat up by RedVegiemon.

"I'll cheer you up Davis don't worry!" Veemon shouted before he got picked up RedVegiemon once more. The rookie was then slammed into the ground.

"Kiba go help him!" I shouted to my partner.

"On it!"

Kiba flew like the wind and she slammed her small body against RedVegiemon's. The champion digimon was moved backwards thanks to Kiba.

"You little twerp!" RedVegiemon shouted before it used his vine and cactus like hands to hit Kiba.

"I got ya Kiba!" Veemon shouted as he caught Kiba into his grasp. But the impact made him suddenly slam into the Control Spire. The spire suddenly started to crack and I smirked.

"Veemon get that rotten vegetable to attack the spire again!" Davis suggested.

"On it!" Veemon replied. Then both Kiba and Veemon began to taunt RedVegiemon calling him names. RedVegiemon got really steamed and he swung his cactus like hands forward once more. Both Kiba and Veemon got out of the way just as the spire was hit again.

"Kiba you know what to do!" I shouted to my partner.

"Gabumon!" Matt added.

Both Kiba and Gabumon both glowed gold and RedVegiemon looked panicked as our partner's digivolved.

"Demidevimon digivolve to!"

"Gabumon digivolve to!"

Kiba's rookie form soon took the form of her champion state and shortly she became.

"Devidramon!"

"Garurumon!"

"Veemon help them out!" Davis shouted to his partner before calling out. "Digi Armor Energize!"

Veemon began to glow gold as well and was surrounded by flames. A few seconds later Flamedramon stood in Veemon's place.

"Uh oh I'm outta here!" RedVegiemon shouted before he turned around to high tail it.

"Not so fast Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon jumped into the air before unleashing his attack. While Flamedramon dealt with RedVegiemon Kiba and Garurumon turned their attention to the Vegiemon. Kiba used her tail to smack the Vegiemon that held Patamon, Armadillomon, Gatomon, and Wizardmon hostage. She then used her wing to catch them so they wouldn't go flying in the air. Garurumon used his Howling Blaster at the other Vegimon who had the Gazimon prisoner.

"Good work Kiba" I praised my partner once the other digimon were safe on the ground.

"It's been eons since I was last in this stage" my partner told me. I simply smirked and I patted her head while Tai, Yolei, and Izzy showed up with their digimon.

"Oh wow you got Kiba and Gabumon to digivolve!" Agumon exclaimed seeing Kiba in her champion form. Kiba only flashed Tai's partner a fanged smirk before Armadillomon armor digvolved to Digmon. Using his drillers he destroyed the Control Spire causing it to fall a second later. The Vegiemon and RedVegiemon then took off their Dark Rings and were confused.

"Our partners make a good team" Matt said as he rode over on Garurumon.

"Indeed they do" I agreed. Garurumon nudged my arm and I gave the champion a stroke on the head.

Odaiba

"Is the claiming going to hurt?" Matt asked as I sat next to him. We were sitting on my bed in the guest room. Garurumon decided he would hang back and protect the Gazimon along with the other digimon in the village where we took the Control Spire down in so Ken wouldn't try to attack and hurt the digimon again. Kiba was already fast asleep after pigging out on the dinner Matt made for us earlier. I was in my favorite black sweat pants and I wore a matching tank top. Matt was shirtless since the claiming would result in some bleeding. Matt wore dark blue pajama pants and he was a little nervous.

"When I bite you it will be more like a pinch" I reassured Matt as I got comfortable in his lap. "Just focus on me"

"I'll try" Matt said before he allowed me to tilt his head backwards a little bit so I could gain access to his left shoulder blade. I found the spot where I would leave my mating mark and my fangs elongated. I first kissed Matt's skin before I gently placed my fangs into it. Matt remained quiet as some of his blood entered my mouth and then went down my throat. When I was finished I removed myself from Matt's shoulder and then kissed his skin to heal the bite wound.

"I told you it wouldn't hurt much" I teased my mate.

"So what happens now is our mating bond opened?"

"Not yet once my blood mixes with yours will the bond open, I know it sounds gross but it's how the claiming is performed"

"If I wasn't your mate it would sound gross but to be honest it makes sense" Matt reassured me.

I smirked before I lowered the strap of my tank top down and used one of my claws to create a cut on my left shoulder. Matt's eyes widened in alarm.

"It's alright love just trust me" I told the blonde. "I know you don't like seeing me hurt but my scratch will heal"

Matt only nodded as a small bit of my own blood began to come out of my scratch. Matt looked to me for encouragement and I smiled. He then moved his head towards my cut and I felt him lick my blood away with his tongue. When his tongue touched my bare skin I actually jumped because it felt wonderful. I felt Matt shiver in pleasure as he pulled away from my shoulder. My scratch mark healed and in a few days his mark would be on me as mine would be on his.

"You feel it now don't you?" I asked Matt.

"Yeah I sure do, I never knew a mating bond felt this powerful and wonderful at the same time" Matt replied.

"How does it feel finally to be mated to me?" I teased.

"It feels damn good" Matt replied. "I've been waiting awhile for this moment"

Matt then licked my lips with his tongue and my eyes widened.

"You had some blood on your lips love" Matt told me.

I simply blushed before Matt pressed a kiss against my mouth.

Okay you really aren't playing fair Matt! I scolded my mate through the telepathic part of the mating bond.

Too bad I want to dominant right now Matt teased.

As much as I want this to continue I think it would be wise to stop Kiba will give us an earful if we wake her up

Kiba thankfully wasn't awake and I didn't want to disturb her sleep.

"You got a point there" Matt agreed. It was my turn to press a quick kiss against my mate's lips. My mate seemed to expect this because he welcomed my kiss by pushing his tongue into my mouth so it could dance with mine. The French kiss lasted only for a second so we wouldn't wake Kiba up. In fact Matt ended up sleeping by my side that night now my as my equal, and as my mate.

Well about damn time you two!
