"I'm here to spare my friend all this trouble".
"Is that really the case, my lady? Or is there something deeper than this?".
"It isn't".
"What about destiny? Perhaps it's called you here. Maybe the destiny of your heart is here".
"Why would destiny call me here?".
"Because you're needed. He needs you here, we all do".
"What for?".
"Master Beelzemon has searched all his life for someone of the light. We've seen it, Renamon, you are that one".
"I don't understand".
"The only way for Master to get his wings and his Corona Destroyer back is to fall in love with someone of the light and earn their love in return".
"And you think-".
"I don't think, my lady, I know you're the one".
"Is he in love with me?".
"Not yet exactly. He cares genuinely about you, though. You fascinate him. I know you don't sense it, but every time he sees you, there's a smile in his heart that he's holding back. He just considers himself just a friend for now, but soon…really soon".
"I'm his salvation?".
"His only".
"I can't be".
"Renamon-".
"NO! He took my tamer from me and forced me away from her! I can't do this for him after he's taken so much!".
"Is that how it is?" a voice interrupted them.
The two saw turned and saw Beelzemon standing there, a mixed look of absolute hurt and despair on his face.
"IS IT?!" he roared.
"Beelzemon-".
"NO! You want your God forsaken partner?! Then go to her! Go, if it makes you feel any better!".
Renamon slunked off back down into the dark corridor, ashamed of herself. All the while, Beelzemon watched her go, fighting back tears of his own.
"GO!" he demanded of Ken, "I have to figure this out on my own".
Ken nodded, leaving the Demon Lord alone in the dark, lost in his own despair.
A/N: Ouch, he didn't take that well. I just watched the episode where he tried to save Jeri and I found myself crying, I'm talking sobbing, guys, that's how bad it is. Anyway, Next chapter: Beelzemon gets a little angsty and thinks about what could've happened, all the while, Renamon gets into some trouble in the woods outside his castle grounds. Will the Demon Lord pull through for her?
