Digimon: Tamers Begin:
Chapter 2: Rika's best birthday
All in all the day had gone pretty well, Rika had cracked a few smiles, some sarcastic, sinister and sincire but still she smilled,
Tk held the bags that Rika had bought which turned out to be tons of jeans, digimon cards, some dvd's, a few belts, a couple of black, blue and purple t-shirts, tops and jackets, to make her look dont-mess-with-me-or-you'll-find-yourself-wrapped-around-a-mighty-oak-with-a-couple-of-bruises-and-two-black-eyes.
Rika looked across the park to see a mobile shrine for wishes,
Even though Rika and Tk were christian, she actually enjoyed learning about other religions and even participated in them, The Takaishi's had relitives all around the world, some by blood, some by adoption and others of spiritual connections, like your uncle's cousin's neice's best friend. Having so many relitives of different colour, religion, race and age made the family so diverse that other ways of thought were imposed on the young ones unintentionally.
Rika walked over with her father in toe holding a bunch of darkly coloured bags.
"well hello young lady would you be interested in making a prayer?" asked the old man at the cart
"yes please" Rika replied using her nice voice, a rare occurance
"very well 55 yen please, oh would you'r boyfriend like to give a prayer?"
"boyfriend?"
The old man pointed to Tk indicating that he was either sweet-talking, he thought Tk was her boyfriend, or he was just plain senile
"he's not my boyfriend"
"your brother?"
"nope"
"cousin?"
"uh-uh"
"Friend?"
"try father" Tk butted in
"huh?"
"i'm taking my daughter around town for her birthday"
the old man smiled taking Tk's had
"ah but you look so young kid"
'yeah as young as the dinosaurs' Rika thought
Rika then realised that the old man was as tall as Rika's waist and was hunched over a bit. He also looked like he had been through the mill, with ripped clothing, he also looked malnourished, suddenly Rika's icey heart started to feel sympathy towards this man
"i think i will make a prayer" Tk told the old man
"thank you youngster"
Rika smilled at her dad he did look young
"well then for both of you that will be 110 yen please sir"
as Rika wrang the bell and put her hands in a praying position she thought of a good prayer
'please let this old man get better off' she thought as she closed her eyes
Rika stepped away and smilled as her father whilst he did his prayer
'i wonder what his prayer is?' she thought
as Tk finished his prayer the old man smilled at him
"thank you both"
"your welcome" Rika replied
"say youngster" the old man said to Tk
"yes"
"may i ask you a question?"
"you just did but sure?"
"how do you stay so young?"
this caught Rika off guard causing the ice queen to sweat drop and fall down anime style
"a bitchy daughter who has the same personality as young and a heck of a lot of patience" Tk replied with a smile and gave Rika a sly look
"ah so thats the ticket, thank you youngster"
the old man waved good bye as Rika and Tk walked away
"so what was your wish?" Rika asked, the question had been starting to eat her up inside
"for the old man to be better off"
"me to"
Their wish was not in vain because as they left a lottory tciket flew by and the old man caught it infront of a Tv store announcing the winning numbers of the lottory which just happen to be the old mans ticket numbers
"scary, we both wanted the same thing"
"nope, we just think alike" Rika replied in a snooty matter
Tk smiled and put a bag full hand on his daughters shoulder
"you and your silver heart" he replied refering to Rika's heart being both cold and nice at the same time
"whats wrong with a silver heart?" she asked agittated
"nothing Ice Queen" he replied
"hmpf" went Rika pouting like a little kid
"you know..." Tk started but never finished
"if i keep on pouting the winds will change and my face will stick like this forever, i know dad" she rebuked coldly
Tk rolled his eyes but seeing her so serious he dropped his head
"are you upset because it's the anniversary of her going?" he asked
"you should know how i feel your mon died on your birthday"
"thanks for reminding me" he said saddened
Rika looked at him with guilt full eyes as he fought back a tear in his eye
"come on we came here today for fun so lets have some, youngster"
"you'll never let that die will you?" he said supporting a small smile on his lips
"nope, daddy-kins"
"now thats just pushing it young lady" he said with flames in his eyes
"oh really?" she replied playfully
"oh yeah" he put a hand on rika's shoulder
just as that happened a scream errupted as a thick blanket of fog appeared just three feet away
a crowd ran away from it as a loud terrible growl errupted scaring everyboday away
Tk was pushed back by the crowd taking him away from his daughter
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAA" he yelled as she was pushed to the ground
Rika on the other hand kneed down on the ground holding her hands on her head as a mob of people ran her over, her eyes shut in terror
as the last person got away the fog engilfed Rika as she turned will fearfull eyes
There stood a red ogre with a tiger skin loin clothe, white hair, two black horns, two mutated white fangs, and a boney club with black metal spikes poking out hung tightly to the monsters oversized red hand as what appeared to be a smile was suported on his face as he saw Rika there on the floor
"ah fresh meat" it said with a cruel intimidating voice
"uhh" Rika said clearly scared
he swung his club up and narrowingly missing her head by inches,
Rika ran out of the fog with the ogre just behind her,
her heart was racing a hundered mile per hour as she ran
"come back her little girl" he yelled
but Rika just kept on running
the ogre hung back in defeat
"that's right run away to fish faced mommey you witch" he said
Rika kept running only in the opposite direction towards the monster
"NO ONE INSULTS ME OR MY MOTHERS MEMORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
the ogre put his hands up to stop her but he was a second to late
in that very second Rika's fist collided with the side of the monsters face knocking out both of it's front fangs with a painfull whack and a sickening crunch of his other teeth being knocked into dust
a few tears escaped the monsters eyes
just as the bitter and sad tears fell down Rika's face
"got it red?" she said cruelly
"you brat" he yelled lifting up his club just as a full moon raised above the skyscrappers,
the light from the earth's satalite distracted the monster who gave it a fearfull look at it as a strange light was imited from it
Rika turned around to see the beautifull white and silver glow illuminate from the moon
the light gained in brightness and as dropplets of water and green leaves blew into the face of the moon and twisted around itself with the moonlight merging with the wind ridding forces of nature as the water and leaves hung in the air a few seconds a beastly humanoid figute appeared infront of the moon.
The figure fell or flew gracefully infront of Rika revealling itself to be a tall humanoid golden yellow fox, a pair of purple ying-yang equals symbol decorated on it's tighs, a collor of snow white fur rested around it's neck, a pair of elbow lenght purple glooves were worn with real ying-yang symbols resting on the forehand of the gloove, a pair of furry wing like objects rested on it's shoulder blades
Rika instantly knew it from all the picture she had seen when she was a little girl from the digimon card game
"Renamon?"
"yes" was the feminine voice replying from the kitsune
"are you a...aa...digimon?"
"yes Rika"
"how..."
"i am a digimon and i wish for you to be my tamer"
"a tamer...me?"
"yes"
"a tamer?" asked the monster
"yes Fugamon slime" Renamon replied to the over grown goblin doll
Rika cracked a smile at her "partner"
"you'll pay for that girly" he replied to renamon
"oh shut up DIAMOND STORM" renamon jumped into the air and used her signiture attack sending thousands of white crystles to impact in Fugamon's over sized ugly face
he screamed in pain as they shards hit him in a face and combusted into data
Rika was shocked to say the least but was relieved to see Renamon standing over her holding out a hand offering to help Rika up of the ground which she had fallen on in the after shock wave of Renamon's attack had sent out
"Rika"
"Renamon"
as Rika stood up a blue glow appeared above Rika's head as it drifted down into her hands there was an object that looked like what Rika believed to be a digivice, it was silver in its frame and blue trimmings over the LCD screen, the buttons were blue as was the strap at the top.
"your D-Power, i pressume" Renamon told her
"wow" was all Rika could say
As Renamon and Rika looked at eachother a connection began to form between them
"RIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKAAAAA!!!!!!!" came Tk's distressed voice as he ran over to his daughter
Renamon phased out as Rika and her father shared a tight hug
