"We accept." as soon as the words left their lips Rika's fist shot forward attempting to to end the fight with a knockout jab. What happened next shocked everyone Takato leaned to the side, caught Rika's arm twisted his torso and threw her halfway across the floor
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Rika jumping the gun like that, not very sportsman like" Takato chuckled as she picked herself up off the floor and lunged at him again. Takato side stepped her and as she moved passed he stuck out his leg and tripped her. This continued on for quite a while. Takato would dodge Rika's moves and at the same time he would hit her with one of his own.
Renamon called out "This brings back memories doesn't it Takato." smiling as she did. They both thought back to when he had come to her for training.
Flashback
"Please Renamon I'll do anything, I really need this training!" Takato pleaded Renamon blinked at the request " What possible reason could you need martial arts training for?" she queried
"So I'm not worthless in a fight anymore!" her eyes widened at his exclamation "I need to know how to fight so that you guy's don't have to defend me anymore!" the desperation in his voice gave her pause
"Takato we're your partners its our job to protect you." she reminded him
"Yes and you've almost been killed because I-we can't defend ourselves." he almost shouted at her. She noticed the he changed the I to we. In a moment of clarity she realized that the "you've" actually meant her specifically not the Digimon in general
"Takato are you worried about me?" his blush was all she needed for an answer, though his answer confused her "Takato, why are you worried about me I'm just data, I" "NO YOUR NOT JUST DATA..!"
Renamon was shocked at how loud Takato's voice was, she had no idea what to think either. For the longest time she had thought of herself as a non-entity, but now some one was telling her that she was real and the she was important. As she was thinking Takato was getting more and more nervous. He wondered if he had said something wrong finally he started to walk away thinking that Renamon didn't want him there. As he started to leave he felt a paw on his shoulder and turned around gasping as he did so. Renamon had tears in her eyes but as he looked closer there was no sadness instead he saw a level of happiness that was out of place on the normally calm vixens face.
"Do you really mean that, do you really see me as more than data?" the desperation in her voice drove Takato to do something totally outside of the realm of normal. Before h knew what was going on he had closed the gap between them and kissed Renamon.
