This chapter is Takato's point of view from the point of Renamon leaving to her return. This is over the course of about 30-40 minutes. I will address reviews at the end so I don't lose my train of thought.
Renamon had woken me up and left to get food. I decided that I needed to do something to take my mind off of my hunger. I picked up a fairly smooth rock and an unsettlingly sharp one.
What if one of us had rolled over onto that? I thought, but after dooing a general sweep of the area, though I didn't get up, and was satisfied and comforted that this was the only potentially dangerous rock.
as I begn to carve a random pattern into the rock, my mind, finally having some time to catch up and process what had happened recently, was flooded with thought, the most prominent of which was, are Renamon and I in love?
I never stopped carving the rock, allowing my left brain (logic) to occupy itself while my right(abstract) brain began to paint interesting concepts in my mind. I knew that she would be curious about the mysterious book I asked her to pick up for me and, knowing her analytical nature, that she would see the entry about her from 3 years ago. Her actions when she returned would determine this then. Ok, so maybe my left brain decided to butt in a little bit.
I thought about the way she acted last night. Yes, she was filthily lustful, but there also seemed to be some passion there. Passion that wasn't there when she first engaged with me after the funeral. My mind then bounced off of the memory of the funeral to what she said about her feeling about Guilmon, and likewise, myself.
Then I remebered our conversation about her wishing she could have sex with Guilmon. I suddenly realized that I didn't know a crucial fact about her. Did she have a vagina?
Yes, it was an awkward thought, but important, nevertheless. If we were truly in love, the I would want to experience that level of passion with her at some point. I thought back to her comment after our first sexual experience. (I can't think of anyway to put this other than blatantly so just kip to the end of this bold section if you don't want the details or you could read Blissful Purgatory, which has explict scenes, which will be posted at the same time as this chapter, despite the fact the fact that the first scene was finished right after chapter 2, four months ago. It was oral sex by the way. Bkissful purgatory will ba a separate story, so check my profile to get to it.) I was fading into sleep as I heard her say, "I guess that's as far as I'm getting tonight." Does that mean that she does have a vagina?
I decided that I would just look, as discretely as possible, the next time I saw her. From there, my mind shifted to Guilmon and his funeral. As a reflex, I checked my leg injury, which had healed surprisingly quickly. In fact, I realized that it hadn't bothered me at all during my various activities with Renamon.
I thpught back to the battle where I incurred that injury, which was likely jsut a sprain. Honestly, I didn't remember getting injured, most likely due to the sheer amount of adrenaline (Yes, I spell it with an "e".) that was pumping through my body at the time. I reflected on the battle, however, and remembered hearing of a similar incident in America.
=Story-in-Story=
A very stupid Gazimon had set a trap in the forest and a Lopmon got snagged in a net and attacked by the Gazimon. This was not Suzie's Lopmon, as she had left nearly a year before. When Guilmon and I came to help, the Gazimon ran off, but not before slashing the Lopmon's left arm. The Lopmon must have taken a lot of abuse, due to it not being very powerful, because it began to digivolve. It wasn't a standard digivolution vortex, though, instead it was crimson and black. I realized something bad was going to happen, and called Guilmon back away as I prepared to swipe my blue card. Renamon must have sensed the power output, because, seconds later, she arrived. Just in time to behold the new Champion. I swiped my blue card, and quickly scanned the digimon, Wendigomon, Dark Champion of Lopmon.
I swiped the blue card again this time applying it to Renamon, as my digivice had merged with Rika's after she left, because Rika thought that maybe Henry or I could use it or fin another tamer. Instead they combined, forming a purple digivice with black trim, rather than red or blue.
With Growlmon and Kyubimon attacking the now violent Wendigomon, I saw, too late, a long arm sweep Growlmon's legs, knock him into the air, grap him, and pull him back into the Dark Digimon. Gripping him with both hands, Wendigomon let out an earth-shattering howl and slammed Growlmon into the ground. Kyubimon, coated with blazing, blue, ghost fire, tackled Wendigomon ad began to tear into him with her teeth.
As the dust cleared, I saw Guilmon barely hanging on, somehow decimated by only a few attacks from the vicious Dark Digimon. I rushed to his side and saw the damage caused by the strikes, realizing that the creature could harden his limbs to the strength of Chrome Digizoid. I looked up in time to Wendigomon roll Kyubimon and begin to dash towards us. I tried to drag Guilmon away, but he could not summon the strength to move.
We were both struck by the rampaging digimon, and looking back, despite only being struck in the leg, the impact should have killed me, and my leg would have been shattered, yet it had only healed in mere days. Regardless, I would discuss it with Renamon later, as she saw the impact and may be able to provide a different perspective. Anyway, as the beast hit us, I was knock aside, forced to watch him deal the finishing blow to Guilmon.
He had plowed over Guilmon, so he turned, grabbed Guilmon by the neck and head, and swung him over his head, throwing him into a tree. One would think the tree would have shattered, but Guilmon did instead. The Tree took the hit, but Guilmon scattered in data on the impact. I went into a great rage, but could not stand. So I did the next best thing.
I knew that Kyubimon had seen the whole thing, and I reached and swiped an option card, Rage Fighter, which greatly raises attack power at the expense of greatly reduced defnse capabilities. As soon as I swiped the card, I screamed a battle cry, "Renamon, waste that bastard!" In reply, she charged him and roared ferociously.
She sunk her teeth into his neck as the rest of her boody collided with his. This was the first time I had ever seen a Digimon bleed. She began to tear away chunks of flesh, fur, and muscle. She began to make massive crimson sprays erupt from the digimon screeching in agony. she continued until what was left of him broke into data beneath her. She released a ghost fire to absorb the data, and then extinguished it, deleting the data forever. I knew why, she didn't want that filth inside of her.
She de-digivolved came over to me and took me over to the remains of Guilmon. By this time, both of us were choked up, tears streaming down our faces. I raised the digivice, which had lost the purple and black coloring, and returned to being white with blue trim, signaling the loss of our friend. The data of the fallen hero flowed into the digivce and then into myself.

As I remembered this tragedy, I never stopped carving the stone. That was the reason Rika truly wanted Renamon to stay. She knew, had some premonition that she would be needed more here than in America with her father. She was right, after all, there was no need for more American tamers and our group was breaking apart. I thanked her, at least in my mind, for saving my life through Renamon. Without her, that Wendigomon would have killed me and went on a rampage.
As I finished with my thinking, I looked at what I had carved into the stone. It was the Taijitu on both of Renamon's legs. I stowed it in my pocket and relaxed as I waited for Renamon to return. It soon came to my attention how much I missed her.
There, John, I think I answered all of your questions, except for Renamon's behavior. I think that part of her serious attitude came from Rika's striving for strength and power. Without Rika around for a year, I feel Renamon would become more "loose" and easy-going in her attitude. Also, she has no money so it's either steal food or try to guess which berries and plants that she can gather wouldn't give Takato the screaming shits (diarrhea). Remember that Digimon have meat and cheeseburger plants, so that doesn't exactly translate well to the real world. Anyway, I'm signing off for now. Please review.
