Sorry for the wait guys but I've had a lot going on lately with work and all that, anyways here's the next chapter

As they walk through the door and enter the arena, Michael and Amber see their opponent at the other end.

"So, you're my opponent?" said a boy with black hair wearing a green t-shirt and blue jeans "he don't look so tough to me Jack." Said the Digimon next to him who looked like he was wearing purple pajamas

"So, I know your name is Jack so let's see who your partner is, Impmon, rookie level, huh, with a little fireball attack to go with his attitude" the vixen tamer said looking at his Digivice "let's do this Michael." Said the Renamon standing next to her tamer.

"Ready, fight!" said the voice over the intercom.

Michael and Amber charged at their opponents, the brown haired tamer went straight for a left jab while his partner set her hands and feet on fire as she shouted "power paws!" and went for a roundhouse kick the yellow one managed to land the hit but jack dodged Michael's attack "is that all you got?" jack said with a smirk "not even close" Michael replied as he managed to land a hit with an uppercut causing the green shirted one to stumble backward. "you might be able to handle me, but don't forget about your partner." the green shirted one said while reaching for his cards and Digivice selecting one card out of the deck and swiping it through the Digivice while shouting "Digi-modify, Digivolution activate!"

The smaller Digimon felt himself gain more power as his transformation began "Impmon digivolve to… Devimon!" the new black Digimon shouted as his transformation subsided, the demonic ones tamer then slashed another card through his Digivice shouting "Digi-modify, Digi-clone activate!" creating ten copies of Devimon surrounding the yellow furred Digimon. "I'll deal with you in a second, but for now, I'm gonna go help my partner" he said running to his partners aid by jumping over two Devimon copies and smashing their heads together causing them to vanish "nice move, but your gonna need a little more than karate to help take them down" she said as the brown haired teen landed beside her "my thoughts exactly" he said reaching for his cards "you first, Digi-modify, power activate!" he shouted as his partner felt her power grow before launching her attack "Diamond Storm!" she yelled using her attack taking out two more clones while her tamer slashed another card through his Digivice "Digi-modify, summon data blade!" he shouted and like before a bright light emanated from the sky allowing Michael's weapon of choice to appear in front of him "data blade strike!" Michael yelled as he swung the black sword causing a wave of red energy to pulse form the blade striking three more digital clones causing them to disappear leaving the imp tamer and his Digimon to deal with the vixen and her partner.

"I suggest you tap out" the amber eyed Renamon said to her opponents "alright you guys win, we quit" said the green shirted tamer in a sad tone. "That's it folks, team Digi-kids takes the win while moving on to the next round of the tournament!" the intercom voice said.

The members of both teams exit the arena after shaking hands out of good sportsmanship, leaving the winning partners with their teammates "I knew we made the right choice having you guys take that round" Ashly said "yeah you two were great and we're going onto the next round" the blonde haired Amy said happily "I'll admit, I'm impressed you two" the black jacketed Joel stated sincerely "thanks guys, but remember amber and I did it as a team. Which reminds me, what you were thinking so hard about before the match?" he said facing his yellow canine companion causing her to slightly blush at the question. "Let's go home, then I'll tell you, it doesn't really concern the others" Amber replied "alright, I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow" and with that the duo went back to Michael's house.

"mom, we're back" he called out with no response "guess she's still at work?" the teen said to his partner "good, then we can talk without interruption" she said to her human friend 'it's now or never Amber, if he doesn't feel the same we can still be friends, right?' the vixen thought to herself. "So, what's up? You seemed pretty troubled at the arena" he said in a concerned tone "well, first I need reassurance that we'll be friends no matter what, right?" she said in a nervous tone "of course, why would you ask me that?" Michael said back "because this is hard enough without the chance it will ruin our friendship." the yellow one said with slight fear and anger in her tone "I know we have only known each other a short time but, it feels like we've known each other for years" she started to say before being interrupted "I know what you mean, we've become friends pretty fast, maybe even more" he said with a small blush at the end. 'is he blushing? Could it be possible, could he not only know how I feel but, could it be that he feels the same?' Amber thought to herself before the teen spoke "the day I got my first pack of Digimon cards there was one that stood out to me the most, I never really understood why until recently" he stated "what card was that Michael?" she asked "it was a Renamon card" he stated trying to not look at his partner due to the blush on his face while also causing the fox to blush "I guess what I'm trying to say is I…" he began before he was interrupted by a set of lips touching his own. The lips belonged to none other than the vixen herself.

At first the boy was surprised by his partner's actions, but then he grew to accept it and decided to kiss her back, which lasted a few more seconds before the yellow furred one disbanded the kiss. "I love you too." She said while looking into her tamers eyes "that's good to know" Michael stated before directing the two of them to the couch and kissing the digital beauty again 'I can't believe it, he/she felt this way to?' they both thought before separating. "So, where do we go from here?" Amber asked her human… boyfriend? "Not sure, I know we should wait a while before telling my mother" he responded with a chuckle at the end "and what about the team? How do we tell them?" she asked him "for now we don't tell anyone, not until we get to know them a little better." The tamer replied. "So, for now our relationship is a secret?" she said in a flirtatious way "I suppose it is." He replied in his own flirtatious tone, causing the vixen to put her head on his chest as they sat on the couch.
