Here we go again!

14. Nonaka Residence

Matt's POV

As we made our way to Rika's house another fight broke out among the Tamers I mean seriously how such a tight knit group could fight so much was beyond me and of course Rika was in the middle of it. I don't even know what they're fighting about all I can hear are the insults (mainly coming from Rika) and Takato trying to mediate between her and I think his name is Kazu.

I hear someone clear their throat and turn to see Henry looking at me, "Um… hi?"

He seems amused by my less then smooth response which of course put my back up.

He sighed, "Look I know it's none of my business" he paused brows furrowing, "You what screw that if it involves Rika it is my business" he looked back at me giving me the look Sora gives me& Tia when she's warning us not to do anything stupid "Takato told me your reaction to him when he showed up to warn Rika" Great. "And based on how we found you when we showed up at your place you and Rika have gotten pretty close."

He looks like he doesn't know if he approves or not. Before he could go on I decide to interrupt.

"I get you guys are close but I think she can take care of herself."

Shaking his head, "That's what I'm trying to get you to understand she's not as strong as she likes to act especially after Dorian." He must have seen I was confused because he asked, "How much did she tell you about him?"

"He wanted her she said no he put a gun to her head to try and force you guys intervened he got hauled off end of story." Even though my voice was calm I felt the anger course through me at the thought of someone threatening her.

"That was the end of a long and horrible story that almost became the end of her." The look on his face was pained and far off like he was watching it happen again. "He followed her, stalked her really. She never said anything just brushed it off but after awhile she kept looking over her shoulder she'd jump at the smallest thing we finally got her to tell us why we fixed it so she was never alone even at home. Then the flowers started coming, roses, red, his signature flower every day. The message that came with them would be something only she would know or how lovely she looked in her night clothes." His voice tightened with anger he took a breath to calm himself and I realized I took one to.

"He was still following her and took advantage of the day she was alone. She realized it and started running what he didn't realize was he was herding her to an abandoned house she went in I'm still not sure what happened she ran back out she ran straight into me. I'll never forget the way she looked whit as a sheet eyes while she fought me at first when she realized it was me she clung on to me begging me not to leave her alone. He scared her just so she could see he had some sort of power over her to try to break her so when he came for her she'd come. That was his mistake he didn't realize that beside being scared she was angry and so were we when he showed up the only reason she didn't go for his throat was because Jeri and Alice were in danger too."

He looked at me then and he smirked the guy smirked at me if this whole thing was just to see how I'd react this is going to get his face smashed.

"What I told you was all true your reaction passes though I approve you still have to win my dad and Takato's over though" Wait what? "And it looks like we here I do hope you enjoy your stay.

I looked to the front of the group to see a pretty big traditional house. I really don't want to go in.

T.K.'s POV

I heard the entire conversation between Henry and my brother and tried very hard not to laugh when Henry left him to join his girlfriend and the rest of the Tamers. I could tell Matt was uncomfortable when four women rushed out of the house followed by two men. They asked everyone if we were ok after a few minutes of fussing with everyone they focused on Rika and I could tell she was trying hard to just sit and take it without pushing them away.

Then Rumiko who I remember from when I was younger looked up and saw me and Matt.

"Matt! T.K.! Oh it so good to see you, you both get more handsome every time I see you!" I can feel my cheecks heating up and hear the others behind me snicker but I smile politely and of course Matt being Matt responds in kind kissing her hand complementing not only her but Rika's grandmother as well.

The two men later introduced along with their wives seemed to find this amusing until they are informed that my charming dumbass of a brother is the one Rika has been living with. I watch as their eyes narrow and take a turn shaking his hand and telling his how grateful they are to him for looking out for Rika. All of their gratitude is coated in ice and anyone can see they're sizing him up.

Thank god she decided to speak.

"Hey I don't need anybody looking out for me." They turned to her smiling fondly at her pouting face. "Are going to go inside or what? I'm hungry Grandma is there any food?

"Of course sweetie I'll get you kids something to eat."

Looks like Matt's safe for now.

Rika's POV

That was embarrassing. Since the D-Riper happened Takato, Henry and my family have gotten close and since I don't have a Dad Mr.'s Matsuki and Wong have given me the spot of honorary daughter. The idiot just had to go and be all charming and flirty, the moron. Now they most likely think I've been living with some playboy. Which isn't far off the mark really but he hasn't been with anyone since I've lived with him. That really shouldn't please me.

After setting up the digimon with food we set up in the living room and munched on the food Grandma made. Getting redundant time to interrupt.

"So we split up into groups find the rest of the wild ones that are still running well wild and then kick back til the icy freak decides to show then delete him permanently. That's the plan right?"

I give Yamaki my most innocent look that he meets with his usual bland one.

"You have no idea how glad I am that your back." I of course ignore the sarcasm and beam him a smile.

"And no that's not the plan as far as you are concerned" My smile falls, "you are to go back to Odiaba as you are still the main target. The Tamers are enough to handle this infestation you need to go before one finds and grabs you."

Before I can protest The Idiot decides to speak, "I think that would be best as I don't think you would enjoy playing damsel in distressed right Red?" I'm going knock him on his ass!

And again I don't get to talk! This time it's Mr. Matsuki so I hold my tongue. "Rika they have a point you won't be able to sit still here. You'd probably be better off in Back in Odiba plus you have school tomorrow." Why is he looking at Matt like he's reassessing something Mr. Wong's doing it to. Ugh!

"Fine I'll go but if they get creamed it's on you guys!"

"For you my queen I'll make sure all of this is fixed so you can return safely home." No one but Ryo could say something so stupid but I notice that half way through he started glaring at someone when I look to see who it is I see him glaring at Matt, Matt glaring back and my surrogate fathers glaring at both. I think I have a headache.

"Well then" I kiss all the parents I have good bye then say farewell to the team and Yamaki "Let's get going" the two dumbasses are still glaring at each other so I grab Matt by the arm pulling him out the door calling out to Renamon that we were leaving and ignoring the amused looks that we were getting from everyone else.

Stupid boys.

Well that's what I got I don't think it's that good but you tell me.
