Chapter 8
As we walked through the forest I admired how lushes the trees were. I almost felt like I was back home. We walked for about twenty minutes before we reached the river. Renamon has been quiet the entire time too. I wondered if everything was ok.
"Are you ok Renamon?"
It took her a second to reply, "yeah why?"
"Your just really quiet."
"I'm sorry I was just thinking of somethings."
"What are you thinking about?" I asked.
"Nothing. The caves are this way." she said wanting to drop the subject.
It took us about fifteen minutes to reach where the caves were. There was about six abandoned caves, varying from small to large. We took one of the larger ones. The caves were damp and dark, perfect for sleeping in, but how would I start a fire? Renamon was up against one of the cave walls with her eyes closed.
"I'm going to find some firewood and some rocks to start a fire." I informed her. With her eyes still closed she nodded her head in confirmation. I noticed that I didn't have to venture far to find some dead wood. I took about five or six bundles back to the cave. After I thought I had enough firewood for a while, I went to see if I could find a certain rock that contained flint. "I wish I was in the Boy Scouts. This would be a hell of a lot easier." When I finally found the rocks, I headed back to the cave.
When I got there, Renamon was in the same position that I had seen her in when I left. She was such a beautiful digimon. I couldn't help but to think what she went through with Rika. "How could anyone treat such a beautiful kitsune so badly?" I thought out loud, disgusted. Adam didn't realize but Renamon was awake and listening to what he had to say. She smiled of what he said about her.
When I finally got the fire going, I sat around it admiring the dancing flames. After a few moments, Renamon came and joined me. She sat down next to me looking at the flames.
"What you said earlier, were you serious?" Renamon asked.
"Of course, why would you ask such a thing? I know this might seem weird, but I feel like I have known you my entire life. Even though we only been together for like three days." Renamon was looking at me with caring eyes while I said that to her.
" I know, I feel the same way." Renamon said with enthusiasm. Suddenly I felt a force between us. We inched closer and closer, we were about to lock lips, but i chickened out.
"We should go to bed, its late and we need to start to training early tomorrow."
Renamon opened her eyes abruptly, and answered with a sigh, "Yeah, your right." I walked to the other side of the fire and took off my shirt, reveling my muscular frame. I laid down my shirt on the rock hard floor to use as a pillow. As I laid down Renamon came over and laid next to me. The next thing I knew, I was asleep with a smile on my face.
Renamon was still awake, admiring her taimer. He has been so kind to her. But what he said was true for her also, she felt as if she had been with him her entire life. She felt this weird feeling for him, she felt it with Rika, but not as strong as this. Renamon was slowly falling in love with Adam. Suddenly, Renamon's own drowsiness took over and she fell asleep right up next to her taimer. She took one of her arms and draped it around Adam and fell asleep.
