Renamon found Rika wandering still through the woods. She was suffering from a severe cold and had terrible news. But she decided to save that part for when they were safe at home. There wasn't a point in worrying her out there.
"He's not as bad as you think, Rika" Renamon told her when they were home, "He never trapped me and he gave me his whole library".
"That's not the issue at hand, Renamon" Rika managed to sit up in her bed, "I told Ryo and the others what happened. Renamon…they're gonna kill him for taking you".
"They couldn't! He's harmless…somewhat".
"Ryo doesn't wanna take a chance. He thinks one thing and the whole town goes into an uproar and agrees with him".
"We have to stop them!".
"Yeah, but how? Ryo won't budge once he's gotten into the spotlight. He thinks he's doing this for me".
Renamon rolled her blue eyes. "Oldest trick in the book. Humans are just so desperate".
"Yeah, he's been trying to court me again. He keeps failing though" Rika coughed.
"Stay here, I'll stop them. I have to. He needs me".
Renamon leaped out a nearby window with a new mission: Save the Demon Lord, save her world from crumbling. It was for sure now…she loved him.
A/N: The spell ain't lifted yet, guys. She has to admit it to his face. But does she have the courage to do so? Next chapter: An unlikely army emerges from the Digimon that live in Beelzemon's castle with an unlikely leader (Who is a Digimon. Hint: They were never human, they always were a Digimon, and she is cat like. I think I've given it away, sorry!). See ya then!
