Chapter 4: One day of peace.
The first rays of the morning sun were the once who woke her up, Rika stretched her hands and looked around. Sergey's sleeping bag was empty and carefully packed, she stood up and walked towards closet and picked her regular clothes and went to a bathroom, inside the bathroom she found everything she needed and brushed her teethes.
She changed in the bathroom and left her night clothes in the laundry basket and went towards the kitchen, from the kitchen she heard the voices and a sound of a boiling kettle. She entered the kitchen saying "Good morning everyone!" with a wide smile on her face, everybody looked at her and said "Good morning." She looked around; Gats was seating beside Sergey along with her mother and grandma and they were drinking tea and listening to one of the Sergey's stories.
Rena was wearing her apron and was cooking something, then Rika sat, she gave a plate with two pancakes and a waffle and a slice of bacon "Tea or coffee?" asked Rena "Tea please." Said Rika and Rena gave her cup and then poured green tea into her cap and gave her jar with sugar; Rika took two cubes of sugar and putted them into tea.
Rena removed her apron and took a plate with food and a cup with tea and sat beside Rika, both them were now enjoying their breakfasts and listening to a part from Sergey's story "And so they used a tidal wave attack at us, but one of my friends Digimon's attack element was ice so she used her Digimon's attack to freeze the wave and my other friend used the wave as the shield and attacked the commander." "So you are a part of some Digimon team that was fighting Virus Empire?" asked Rumiko, Sergey nodded and said "Yup, the creator of the team is the girl whose Digimon's attack attribute is ice." "Rika did you know that Sergey had plenty of adventures before he came back to Japan?" said Rumiko and her daughter signed "No mom." Said Rika and returned to her meal "Hey Rika, any plans for today?" asked Sergey and Rika looked at him with eyes that were saying "I have no idea what to do." She said and smiled "Well, we could go to city and get Gats some clothes and take the opportunity to use Sergey's credit card." Said Rena and looked at Gats "Why do I need clothes?" asked Gats; Rena looked at her eyes and answered "You need clothes to look pretty for someone you like." Rena winked and Gats blushed.
"Okay then is settled." Said Sergey and putted his plate in the sink and left the kitchen, after few minutes Rena left also and Rika and Gats were left alone "Whom do you like?" asked Rika curiously, Gats checks turned completely red and she said only one thing "It's a secret." After those words she rushed from the kitchen and ran towards Rika's room, "Weird." Thought Rika and went to her room, after few minutes everyone was ready but still waiting for Rena to come out. Sergey knocked few times the door but the only thing that happened was that they heard Rena saying "Coming."
And finally after 30 minutes the door opened and they saw her; she was wearing a short black skirt with white blouse, her lips were colored with bright red lipstick. "I am ready." She said and smiled and went towards the door, Rika looked at Sergey "Is that because of the human DNA inside her?" she asked "Nope, that's Rena. She always had a taste in fashion." He smiled and went towards the door also, they left the house and went towards the city's centre, at first Rika was worried about that somebody will see Rena and start panic because she is a Digimon.
Sergey noticed that Rika was nerves about something; he came closer to her and asked "Is that Rena you worry about?" she nodded "Well, if you look from a side, Rena looks like a girl wearing a cosplay costume and so we never had a single problem." His words had calmed her a little bit but she still was nervous. The city's was in its bloom, people rushing somewhere, kids playing outside; everything was in its place.
The shop that where Rena was leading was the biggest one in Tokyo, the doors at the entrance opened and the cool air from the air conditioners hit them in the face. Rika shivered, quick change in the temperature was only bugging her and no one else, Rena went to the information desk and took a map of the store. "Okay, I am taking girls for the shopping and Sergey you are on your own." Said Rena, Sergey nodded he was about to leave but Rena called him "Oh, don't forget to give me the digivice and the credit card." Said Rena, Sergey signed and opened his bag and passed her the digivice and the credit card. "Have fun girls." He said and left, Rena smiled "Okay girls! It's time for some good old shopping!" Rika expected to see some familiar Japanese branded stores but it looked like Rena had completely different plans.
They stood near the entrance to the shop which brand Rika had never seen in her live, "Now it's time Gats." Said Rena and took the digivice out and pressed some buttons on it and in instance light surrounded Gats and they heard her voice "Gatomon digivolves to…" and from the light came and female angel with white wings and a helmet on her head. "Angewomon." said the angel as she came out from the light "Now! Digi-modify! "None winged area! Activated!" shouted Rena as she sliced the card through the digivice and suddenly Gats wings had disappeared.
"What just happened?" asked the angel as she lost the feeling of her wings, Rena smiled and answered "This is effect of the card "None winged area" all Digimon lose their wings if they have any and don't worry it's a temporary effect; I can switch it off at any second." Rena smiled "Now remove your helmet, please." Gats tried to refuse "No, I can't." "Come on, let me help you." Rika looked at that battle of fox and the angel for the helmet and looked like Rena was more successful and in the end she removed the helmet but Gats quickly covered her face with her hands. "Why are you hiding?" asked Rena "I don't want anybody to see my face." "Why?" Rena were perceptive "Because I can't." again said Gats, Rena signed "Fine if you don't want nobody will force you, and besides it's Sergey who wanted to see your Angewomon's face but it looks like that he will never see it." Rika understood Rena tactic and she also now had an idea about who is that person whom Gats likes.
Gats didn't know what to do; she was shy to show her face but she also wanted Sergey to see it and so there was only one choice to make. "Fine, I will do it." She said and removed the hands from her face, Rika and Rena was shocked by what they saw; her skin was in the color of milk, golden colored hair and pure blue eyes. "Wow, Gats you are gorgeous!" said Rena and gave her hug "See it was not that scary." She whispered to her ear and Gats nodded "You look great." Said Rika and they entered the shop, she looked around and saw clothes of a lot different design and style.
They were welcomed by a lady wearing a red designer clothes "Welcome to our shop, can I help you?" she asked "Yes, we need a new set of clothes for our friend starting from underwear." Said Rena "Okay, follow me." Said the lady and they followed her, they entered a section where Rika saw tons of bras and panties and there were also some bikinis. "Okay, let me take the sizes of your friend." She took the measuring tape and started to take measures from Gats after few minutes she complimented Gats "You have some nice forms, let me guess you probably spend a lot of time in spa's and fitness's just to keep yourself like this." Gats didn't know what to say but Rena had the situation under the control "Actually our friend is really lucky, all her forms are natural and they don't require a lot just keeping them in shape." Said Rena and winked, the saleswoman nodded "Okay, I will pick the best models for your friend." She said and left our friends, Rena sat on a couch and looked at Rika "So Rika, wanna buy something from here?" she asked and pointed her finger around "Well, I don't know." Rika came closer to the stand "Some of this stuff looks inappropriate and I don't know if I can wear it."
Rena giggled "You know, boys like girls who are open and are ready for everything." Rika blushed in her mind she asked herself "Is Sergey that type of the guy?" she wanted to ask Rena that question but the saleswoman returned with some clothes on her hands "Here are some models that can fit you." She said and gave them to Gats "Thank you." Said Rena and took Gats to the changing room.
They entered an empty room and closed the door. Rika sat near and could only hear them saying something "But Rena, I don't have anything underneath my dress." Said Gats "This is why we are here! I want to help you to make a person you like love you." Rena's voice was calm and warm, "Are you sure?" she asked Rena "Yes, just be brave and don't be afraid of showing your beauty." Said Rena and came out from the room, she sat beside Rika and signed "I knew that it would be hard but not that much." "What seems to be a problem?" asked Rika "It's just that she is has complexes and that she can't overcome it."
Rika looked at Rena "And can you tell me who is that person that Gats likes?" asked Rika, Rena looked at her and asked "You really don't have any clues who is that?" Rika nodded, Rena laughed for a moment "Well instead of telling you who is that I will give some hints; he likes to wear black and always carries his red bag with him around, his card deck consist of the cards that can create really powerful combo attacks and the last one he wears tamers armor." "Sergey?" asked Rika and Rena winked "Congratulation, you got it right." Rika looked at her and asked "But didn't you tell me that he is yours?" asked Rika and Rena nodded "Well you remember that I was his only friend until his legs got cured, so I had an idea that we would spend our lives together and sorry for what I said at the party. It was like a male preserving instinct." Rika smiled "That's okay, I forgave you long time ago."
Both of them hugged each other and started to wait for Gats to come out. Inside the changing Gats was trying to convince herself to undress and put on the underwear that was selected for her, part of her was telling that it would help her to become closer with Sergey but the other part of her was telling her that it was not right for a Digimon to like a human.
What like? She loved him but it was actually a first time than she felt that way towards anybody. She again looked at herself in the mirror, she was beautiful. Her mind didn't know what to do until a small thought of him gave her courage to do it.
Outside the changing room Rena and Rika were waiting for Gats to come out, suddenly they heard the door lock unlocking and they heard her voice "Okay girls I am coming out." Said Gats and came out wearing tiger striped bra and panties, Rika and Rena were shocked "Wow Gats, you look gorgeous and how does it feels?" asked Rena and looked around Gats "Yup, this one is perfect and what do you think Rika?" asked Rena, Rika was amused by the way Gats looked and in the same moment she envied her because she could not possibly wear something like that because her body is still developing but Gats needed support so she complimented her "Yeah it looks great and I think that you will seduce the person that you like to love you."
Rena giggled after hearing her say that "Okay, now Gats try the other models and then we will move to everyday clothes." Gats nodded and returned to the changing room and the rest seemed like a slide show; the next model was in black and white color and it looked a zebra, the next one was black with dark spots like a cougar and the last one was just white.
After that they moved to everyday clothes, there Rena picked for her a comfortable shirts with funny stuff written on them like "Cuddle with me, I am your love bear" she also picked her few pairs of jeans and skirts. Gats was pleased with the stuff they were picking for her even Rika couldn't hold herself, she picked few skirts and shirts for herself, they then changed for sport wear where they picked for themselves really cute and sexy sport suits and after few more section of clothes they ended in the jewelry where they got Gats the ear rings with small diamonds on them and later they were in cashier.
Then they printed the price they have to pay for all of it Rika got shocked, she never saw such big amount but Rena calmly looked at the check and gave Sergey's credit card. Rika looked at Rena and asked "Are you sure that you can afford all of it?" Rena smiled and said "Of course, besides it's his fault that he was mean to you and we still have some time for the spa." Said Rena and looked at Gats "Take some clothes that you like and change into them." Gats nodded and took one bag and went to the changing room and after few minutes she returned wearing a short skirt that Rena got her and with the shirt about what we told about early "Cuddle with me, I am your love bear."
Rena looked at her with approving gaze, they left the shop and Rena guided then towards the spa. "Good afternoon." Said the lady at the information desk "Good afternoon, we want to have a massage, a hair dressing and manicure with pedicure please." Said Rena and lady at the information desk nodded "Certainly do you want to pay now or later?" Rena passed her the credit card and said "Right now would be better." The lady nodded and slashed the card through the machine "Okay, please follow me." They entered a locker room where girls undressed and putted on the towels, in the next room where they lay on massage tables and awaited the massagers.
"Rena, is that okay if we are with you?" asked Rika, Rena signed and said "Rika don't worry about it just relax and enjoy it." The door opened and three massagers entered and they came towards the girls and started the massage, after an hour the girls were leaving the massage room with satisfied faces.
"Wow Rena that really felt nice and now I feel myself so relaxed." Said Rika as they entered the locker room "You know it was cute then Gats started to meow during the massage." Said Rena and she and Rika giggled, Gats blushed and said "Well it did felt good and I enjoyed it." They laughed and dressed up, they then went to another room where hair dressers and nail specialists were waiting for them,they were seat in the comfortable seats.
They were treated by two specialists; one was doing the hair and other nails, "Um, Rena?" asked Rika "Yes." "Why won't Sergey biomerge with you, as I see that he always uses cards so you would evolve into mega level." Rena signed and answered "It's because he is worried about me getting hurt while we are one." Rika was confused by her answer "What is he afraid of; I would like to see him fight as a Digimon." Said Rika and blushed, Rena again signed "He is afraid that he will do a mistake that would cost both of us our lives." Now Rena's answer was shocking to Rika "But why does he thinks so?" "Because, he always thinks that he does not deserve to be my tamer." "But he is a great tamer; he even ranked first in the world!" Rena looked her in the eyes and said "Sergey is the best, but he doesn't know that." Rena's answer confused Rika but suddenly Gats interfered.
"He actually cares about us more than about himself." "What makes you say that?" asked Rika, Gats smiled and said "If he wouldn't care I would still be BlackGatomon." Girls looked at the each other and nodded, after an hour Rika didn't recognize herself in the mirror "Wow, is it really me?" Rena nodded, Rika was amused; she never thought that she can soo beautiful.
"Okay girls, now let's go and get Sergey!" said Rena and they followed her, they walked through the mall but they couldn't find him. "Where could he have gone to?" asked Rika, Rena took out her mobile and dialed a number after few minutes she looked at them and said "Okay, he not answering his phone." "What could have happened?" asked Gats, Rena looked at Rika and asked "Is there an arcade in the shop?" Rika nodded "Okay, lead the way." As long as Rika remembered there was only one arcade in that mall, they walked towards it as they saw a large crowed of people starring at the screen.
"What is that?" asked Gats as they walked through the crowd and towards the screen, then they reached it they saw two giant robots attacking each other "Is that some sort of the new anime?" asked Rika but expression on Rena's face made her doubt that, Rena catched one guy who was walking around and asked "Is that "Armored Core 5 The Final Fight"? She asked and the guy nodded and she asked him again "Who is in this match?" the guy smirked and said "The red one is the Tokyo local champion and nobody knows who pilot's the black one."
Rena signed and returned to Rika and Gats "So what did you find out?" asked Rika as Rena came to them, she signed and said "The game is what is on the screen is the one that Sergey wanted to get than we would arrive here and now I know where he is." And she pointed to the two capsules that were standing on stage and they also saw a person wearing a black suit and as it looked like he was commenting what was happening on the screen "And now we have a small recap for the ones who just joined us, our local Tokyo champion was challenged by a person with a strange AC and now it's the second hour of the battle and it looks like both players are running low on ammo." He then pointed at the screen where it was said how much ammo they had left and by the looks of it the black ac was already out of ammo.
Rika looked at Rena and asked "How do you know if that is Sergey?" Rena smiled and said "Because only Sergey can end this battle right now!" she pointed at the screen where they saw that the red AC was rushing at the black one than suddenly the black one's hand glowed in blue light and the only thing that was left to say was "Legendary Sergey Rocks Sword!" and in an instance the red AC got splited into two smoking pieces and on the screen glowed "Game Over!" Girls cheered as the black capsule opened and from it came out the person that they expected Sergey came from capsule waving his head as he came out from it.
The commentator greeted him "Now this our new champion! It's the first time in history of our game than the battle was ended in such easy way and now here is the prize!" he then pointed at the golden box which had giant golden "AC" letters on it. "Oh yes, this is it! The legendary edition of our new game goes to our new champion!" Sergey came towards the box and picked it and then he heard three cheerful voices "Congratulations!" and three girls from the crowed jumped and hugged him and the commentator could only say "Now look at him, he is not just good at piloting a battle robot but he is also good in picking girls!" the crowd applauded, Sergey looked at them and said "Girls you look great, now let's go and celebrate in the restaurant!"
They walked through the crowed hearing them cheering for Sergey, as they reached the nearest restaurant they sat and Sergey looked at them "I can guess that mom is going to kill me." He said as he looked at Gats and the jewels that she wore "Don't worry, if what I will tell mom that it was all the present for Gats." He signed and said "Fine."
Then his eyesight changed to Rika "You look awesome, I've never seen you like this." Rika blushed and smiled, Sergey clapped his hands and said "Okay then, so what are we going to eat?" he asked and looked at the menu, Rika was amused that they actually were in the sushi bar and that Sergey was already ordering something.
After he made an order, Rena looked at him and asked "So, how did you find this game?" "Well…., I was bored from walking around the mall, so I looked at the map and found this arcade and the rest is obvious." He smiled and looked at Gats and her t-shirt "Gats, I never imagined that you can look so beautiful." By the look on Gats face you could say that his words warmed her heart and her face turned fully red, she tried to say something but she got soo shy that she couldn't put a sentence together, Sergey smiled and said "Welcome to the family."
By the looks on Gats she could collapse right now at any second, but suddenly a waiter returned carrying a giant model of the ship filled with sushi and sashimi. "Enjoy your meal!" said the waiter as he left, Gats was amused by how much fish she saw on the ship; her cat instincts took full control of her, Sergey saw that and smiled "Lets dig in!" as he took his chop-sticks and started to pick sushi.
How can you satisfy a cat? That question was already answered by the looks on Gats face, she was still in her human form but her face was glowing from satisfaction that she getting from eating her favorite food… fish. Rika was also amused by the number and quality of the fish that she was eating; she was also enjoying herself, but lets leave our friends for now and see who is now looking at them through the bushes.
Takato and Guilmon followed them the whole day, and it looked like that Guilmon was getting tired of hiding "Takato, why do we follow them whole day?" asked Guilmon as he expected his tamer to give him a answer but Takato repeated the same thing over again "I am worried that Sergey may again lose control of his power and go on the rampage." That was a white lie, actually Takato was worried that Sergey may actually take Rika away from him because Rika was now paying more attention to Sergey than to him and that he was also living with her in the same house. "We must be careful, right Renamon?" Renamon who was seating behind them signed; she also worried about BlackRenamon going on the rampage and she was also worried about her tamer but she knew what was the reason for Takato to follow them and it was also that she was curious about Sergey's and her sister's next moves.
Sergey was enjoying sushi until he felt something, he felt that someone was looking at him and then he heard a voice in his head "There is someone in the bushes, it could be them." He nodded to himself, luckily he always carried his dagger in his bag, so then he quickly moved his hand into the bag and pulled out the dagger and threw it in the direction of the bushes, the people around him were in shock except for Rena.
She simply finished her plate and looked at Sergey "Felt something?" he nodded "Oh well." Her pawn glowed in blue light and then she fired it at the bushes, after a second bush turned black and a white piece of cloth on stick raised from the bushes. Sergey jumped over the table and landed near the bushes, then he landed a small grin went through his face; he turned his head towards Rika and the company and said "Look whom we have here." As he said these words from the bushes appeared Renamon, Guilmon and Takato with a cut on his shoulder.
Rika expected it to be anyone but her own Renamon with her best friend and his Digimon. Sergey picked up the dagger that was lying near where Takato sat a second ago and looked at them "I want to hear a clear explanation of why you were sitting and spying at us from the bushes and if the reason is that you swapped to the side of the dark tamers, I will warn you now. If I am right, then you will see tomorrow in the afterlife and I am serious." Takato was in panic, he saw how Sergey almost killed Kazu and Kenta now he was afraid for his life because if he would reveal his feelings about Rika he wouldn't be understood but as he wanted to say something Renamon spoke "Takato was spying on you because he was worried that BlackRenamon would again gain control over you and you would hurt Rika and cause destruction of this area and so I followed Takato so he wouldn't anything stupid, right Takato?" she looked at him and winked, he blushed and said "Right, so can I stand up now?" Sergey nodded and put the dagger back into his bag and after few minutes all seven of them were sitting in the same restaurant, Gats and Rena were eating more sushi while Sergey was simply looking at the Takato. Rika didn't know what say or what to do until her Renamon looked at her and asked "Is everything alright Rika?" her calm voice would also bring Rika back from her mind but this time it failed.
Awfully a lot happened in those few days and it was still hard for her to understand what was happening and why was it all happening right in front of her? There were many questions for which she didn't have answers and it was making hard for her to go on. Sergey noticed that, he took her hand and it send a shock through her.
Her mind quickly cleared and she saw Sergey holding her hand, right now she expected him to kiss her but instead he smiled and said "Welcome back to earth Rika." He then moved back to his seat, Rika's face quickly became red and everyone noticed it but no one paid attention to it. It was then Takato who couldn't keep his cool, his face also was turning red and Sergey was carefully looking at what could turn his face red; at first their eyes meet few times so it gave him few bad ideas about Takato's orientation but then Takato's eye sight was carefully studying both Rika and her Renamon.
That helped Sergey build a theory that might just work, he looked at Rika and send her an air kiss; the reactions which were the ones that he predicted and ones which he didn't expected like Rika's face become not just red but really bright red. On Takato's face he could clearly see anger and jealousy building up slow by slow, but the reactions that he didn't expected were that Rena and Gats faces could clearly show that they not just jealous but that they were envying Rika from the bottom of their hearts and their next gaze was clearly aimed at Sergey; it was filled with rage and feeling that he had betrayed them and now he deserves to be punished.
It's Rika's Renamon who broke the silence "Maybe there was another reason why Takato had spied on you." Suddenly all the attention was on her, she smiled and continued "Think about it maybe a reason is hiding in his feelings." This added more tension to the situation and she delivered the final blow "Maybe he was spying on you because of his feelings towards a girl?" "That's enough!" shouted Takato and looked at everyone "Yes it's because of her!" and he pointed at Rika, he then looked at Sergey "I challenge you for a duel for the hand of the maiden!" Sergey was actually shocked that Takato knew such words as maiden and duel, he nodded and said "Okay but I am choosing the weapons." Takato nodded, Sergey called a waitress gave herhis credit card that he took from Rena.
He picked up his prize and looked at Takato "Follow me, please." He said as he took his credit card and the receipt from the waitress, they walked towards the arcade where that game at which Sergey won was still be standing. Takato was amused to see that they were about to duel in some game that he didn't see before "Wait, we are going to duel in this game?" Sergey nodded "But it's not fair, I've seen you play. You will beat me with that robot of yours." Sergey signed and said "Fine, then lets both of us build new robots. Now is this fair?" Takato nodded, Sergey left his bag and a prize with girls.
He walked towards the machine and putted a money bill in it and two capsules opened welcoming their pilots. Inside the capsule had really looked like a piloting capsule, Sergey sliced his in-game id card and on the screen appeared his photo and all of his in-game information. He moved the cursor on the screen to the option called "Assemble a new AC" he clicked on it, luckily than he paid for the game, he included option called an unlimited credit so both them could assemble any robot they wanted. Sergey carefully choose parts for his new strategy, he only kept the color black and added a plasma sword.
As they finished constructing their robots, it was time to pick the map. Sergey knew that there is only one map where he could have an advantage so he clicked on it, he expected Takato to choose a map of his own but he agreed on that map so the battle had started. Outside the capsules, girls were looking at the screen waiting for the fight to start. It would be really hard for Rika to watch because she got used that boys would fight over girls but she never expected to see her best childhood friend fighting her friend with whom she had a lot of adventures. "Nervous, aren't you?" asked Rena, Rika didn't know what to say so she kept quit. Rena smiled and said "You know that Sergey is not actually fighting for your heart." Rika was shocked "But why then he is fighting?" Rena again smiled and said "Because he wants to prove to both of you that he will protect you because you are one of the important people to him." Rena's words made Rika confident that if Sergey will win this fight and she will kiss him.
Suddenly the fight had started, first they saw Sergey's robot; it was black and elegant like a dark knight in his armor, at first they couldn't see Takato's robot until they noticed a giant fortress like creature on the field and until the names of pilots appeared over the robots they couldn't say of that was Takato or not. Rena was the one who understand what it was "So Takato constructed a fortress robot to fight Sergey, well not bad." The battle had already begun; Sergey's robot moved really fast and was hard for them to look at him, Sergey launched few attacks at Takato's robot but they didn't do anything.
"Mmmm, Rena what is an fortress robot?" asked Gats, Rena looked at her and Rika and answered "Fortress robot is a special type of a robot that has perfect offense and defense but it lacks speed so it becomes an easy target for missiles and long range weapons." As the battle continued; Sergey's robot was attacking Takato's from all the directions, girls looked at the bottom and noticed that Sergey was already running low on bullets. While Takato even didn't use any of his, Rika was worried; she saw previous match where Sergey won by using his sword but here was a totally different situation. Rika looked at the screen and noticed that there also was a chat bar and she saw all the messages that Sergey was sending to Takato then suddenly a new message appeared saying "So, are we going to battle or are you going to stay there the whole day?" Takato's reply sounded like he was already a winner "Well if you want, I will end it all now."
As she finished reading the message, on the armor of Takato's robot opened holes and it looked that Takato's armor was completely made of holes than suddenly the missiles launched from all the holes in his armor. "What is was that?" asked Rika as Rena started to bite her nails "Takato actually made a "Death Fortress" it means that his robot is nothing but a gigantic cannon and now it looks like Sergey will have some hard time dodging all of the Takato's shots." On the screen Takato's robot was transforming; from somewhere under his armor the cannons, rifles, machine guns and plenty of other weapons were firing until the field was completely covered in flames. As the smoke cleared the girls except to see Sergey's robot destroyed but instead than the smoke cleared, something rushed at the Takato's robot and sliced it leaving a giant scar on the armor and the body.
As the blue light that was surrounding that strange creature cleared they could clearly see that it was Sergey's robot; it was also damaged but it looked like he could still fight. On the screen appeared a new message "So Takato, I sliced your armor and you are next." Sergey's robot raised his sword in front of him and was prepared to strike than suddenly Takato's robot started to fall apart; hands, legs, torso were falling apart than suddenly something from inside of it charged at Sergey. "Look!" said Guilmon who kept quit most of the time "Its Gallantmon! Takatomon is piloting Gallantmon." At first girls didn't believe what Guilmon was saying until they looked closer and saw that the robot that jumped out from what's left of the fortress robot really did looked like Gallantmon.
They parried and it looked like the real battle was about to begin, Takato's robot from his hand that looked like a spear started to fire missiles and Sergey's robot was trying to dodge them but few had hit him and he stopped. Takato rushed at Sergey with his spear in front ready to stab him but his sword blocked the attack and Sergey moved aside Takato's spear and tried to stab him but Takato now blocked it with the shield that was equipped on his left hand and so their battle got chained; Takato was attacking and Sergey was blocking than Sergey was attacking and Takato blocking.
It looked like it could last forever until Sergey pushed Takato away and both of them took their battle stances and rushed at each other with their weapons at front the situation was so tensed that Rika closed her eyes after a few seconds she opened them to see Takato's robot on Sergey's sword and than a slash that split Takato in two and a screen spelled "Game Over" Rika signed in relief "Thank god." She said in her mind as the capsules opened and Sergey and Takato exited them, "Nice battle man." Said Sergey as he offered his hand to Takato, he hesitated but quickly understood that it better to be Sergey's ally for now.
"Yeah." He nodded and shaked his hand, "Here goes something." Thought Rika as she rushed towards Sergey; she wanted to kiss him as she planned but something went wrong, as she ran towards him she didn't notice the cable that was on the floor. "Rika!" shouted Sergey and rushed towards her, Rika was mentally ready to fall than she felt someone's hands holding her preventing from falling down. She looked up to see Sergey holding her tight "Be careful next time, silly." He said smiling, this was the last thing he said before Rika catched his lips into a deep kiss; she didn't know what was happening, her entire body felt hot and the kiss was the trigger.
Deep below her belly she felt a pleasing feeling of that Sergey was the one destined for her, her mind started to go blur and her primitive instincts were trying to take control. Then suddenly she felt someone's hands separating her from Sergey, then she opened her eyes she saw Rena and she looked furious.
"I think that was enough of romantic experience for both of you." Her facial expression changed than she smelled Rika "My goodness, someone produces way too much pheromones than they supposed to." Rika blushed, Rena smiled and patted her on the shoulder "That's okay, as long you don't try and use them on Sergey." She said as they approached exit.
They all kept quit on the way home until Takato and Guilmon waved their hands and took their path back to their house, the rest of the way the all kept quiet until Gats broke the silence "How long am I going to stay in this form, because I feel soo exhausted and dizzy." She said and leaned on Sergey, he smiled and said "Sure as we get home and it really interesting how you lasted almost an entire day in your ultimate form while also being under effect of such strong card as non winged area that must mean that your power level had increased and now you are really powerful." Gats smiled and said "It's because I have such wonderful tamer who raises me properly." He smiled and they continued walking back home, then they reached Rika's house they found her mother preparing diner along with her grandma.
As they saw them entering they greeted them and then Rika's mother noticed all the shopping bags she looked at Rika with her designers look. After the diner everyone had their own staff to do; Sergey connected to the network and entered a discussion with other tamers about how to properly raise a female Digimon if her tamer is a male. Gats and Rena were reading magazines that Rena bought and everything seemed perfect. Suddenly she felt that she was the only one who didn't fit in this picture; even her Renamon was helping her mother and grandmother in the kitchen.
"Feeling lonely?" Asked the voice and she looked up, Rena was looking at her down with a smile "So my tamer is not giving you a proper attention?" Rika didn't know how to answer but Rena answered for her; she took a pillow that was on the sofa and threw it at Sergey. Rika then noticed that Rena threw pillow so hard that then it hit Sergey he fell on his back with a pillow on his face. "What in the blazes?" he shouted then got up, he looked around to see where the pillow could come from then noticed that Rena was waving another pillow.
He shivered and Rena smiled "Bombs away!" she shouted and threw pillows at him as if they were real bombs, Sergey dodged the first one but he did not notice that Rena already threw the second one and so it hit its target which was Sergey's face again.
This time he fell on his stomach, Rena looked from above at him and smiled "I am the only person that can make act like a good and obedient puppy." Rika could not understand if she was teasing or mocking him, by the look on Sergey's face she could say that he had some sort of the trick from his sleeve. "Fine Rena, you are the best so what do you want?" he asked and a small smirk appeared "Well I want you to…" Rena turned her back to think and it gave Sergey an advantage; he quickly moved behind her and trapped her in a big bear hug.
"Game over." He whispered to her ear and smiled, Rika now was looking at Rena and was waiting her to do something but instead of struggling she turned to face him and used her hands to push his head against her to capture him in a kiss. Rika stood there seeing her kissing him and slow by slow a small wish to be in Rena's place right now was building up inside of her.
Suddenly Rena stopped the kiss and looked at Sergey; his head was somewhere but not here. She smiled and used that moment to put Sergey on his knees, then his head cleared he was shocked by in which position he was. He started to look for away to escape from that position but Rena had him trapped "Fine, you won this time but it's cheating to use a kiss as a weapon." Rena smiled and smiled "Otherwise it's impossible to get your attention." She patted him on his head, Rika was confused; Rena started this fight to get his attention? Rena noticed that Rika was confused and she felt guilty for putting her in such confuse, she signed and looked at her "Rika, I know it may look weird to you that we started fighting on the pillows and staff but that's the only way of how I can make him pay proper attention." She looked at Sergey; his face was getting red from the embracement and so she patted him again.
"Whenever he starts doing something like giving advices or talking on the net you cannot stop him until he finishes, so I sometimes use pillows to smack him and return him to the reality." This had cleared Rika's mind by a bit but she still was unsure of Rena's true feelings towards Sergey. He stood up and smiled "Actually Rena rarely uses that method more of the time she…" Rena suddenly covered his mouth with her hand "I think that's enough information about our private life." She then removed her hand and walked out from the room, Sergey signed and sat on the sofa and with his hand offered Rika a seat.
She sat near him and then it was silence between them, "So does she always acts like that?" Rika broke the silence, he looked at her and said "Well yeah, but most of the time she acts more girly because she is just like my mother also concerned about what I do and act. So it's okay for her to fight me sometimes but most of the time she acts like a normal girl." Rika giggled "Yeah a furry fox girl." She thought in her head "Did your Renamon ever take care of you?" that was the question that putted her in the dead end; did Renamon ever cared about her? Well of course in battles she tried to keep her out from getting hurt and before she meet Takato and others she treated her Renamon harshly and yet she did cared about her safety. "Let me guess, you can't say because of the way you treated her?" Rika looked shocked "You are probably asking yourself how I know it? Simple I am also a Renamon tamer and I can clearly see that if there are gaps in relationship between a tamer and a Renamon, but you don't have to judge yourself." He patted her on her head "You were just begging to be a tamer and you thought that Digimons were made for fighting only but now you became a great tamer and I think there is more to you than meets an eye."
She blushed; no boy had ever made her feel that way and if to think it was only few days but now she could feel that she was changing from an inside. "What did you feel than you became a Black Renamon?" that question appeared from nowhere but Sergey answered "Than I saw you and Rena hurt at first I couldn't take that I couldn't protect both of you and that I could lose you. Then I felt a shadow somewhere from the bottom of my heart consuming me and I suddenly lost control over my emotions and let it take control. But your voice woke me up from the shadows and returned me to the reality." His words were making her to feel important to him and soo she again lost to that feeling and let herself go by kissing him deeply and passionately after a few minutes it was her who broke the kiss. Both of their faces were red and Sergey looked beat "Today is some sort of the kissing evening for me." She smiled and they switched on the TV that was silent most of the time.
Meanwhile in the room where Rena was staying, Gats was reading an article that Rena highlighted for her; it was about how to make a guy to think only about her. She read and read until Rena came back smiling "So are you ready?" she shivered she was unsure if what Rena told her was right but if it would make Sergey love her than it was worth it. "Yes I am ready, but will it work?" Rena nodded "In this article it said that it will have a 100% effect if it's at midnight during the full moon and the full moon is today." Gats shivered she didn't know why Rena was helping her but if it will work she won't be concerned about it. "Okay, take you night shirt and go. Good night!" Gats picked up the shirt and ran off also saying good night Rena. "What are you planning sis?" asked the voice "Nothing much, except making my love game more interesting."
Renamon came out from the shadows and looked at her sister "I still don't understand how helping Rika and Gats to improve their relationships with Sergey will make your love game more interesting?" Rena smiled and lay in the futon "My dear sister if I would take him straight away it would be no fun at all and my victory wouldn't be much of the triumph but if I will have rivals than it would be not just a victor but a conquer of his heart." She laughed and her sister was still left with doubts about her sister's plan.
It was already a midnight but Rika still could not sleep, all of the events of the past few days were making Rika confused in herself; she never liked boys but right now she couldn't get Sergey from her head even the feeling that he was sleeping in a sleeping bag along with Gats right beside him and that was making Rika envious of that digital cat, her mind was giving her an idea of getting Gats from the bag and sleep with Sergey instead of her.
Suddenly she heard someone's hard breath, she looked up and saw Gats sitting on Sergey's chest and breathing hard. Suddenly the light from the full moon lightened the room and while the moon was shining Gats took her chances and kissed Sergey and it was look like that she was doing it from the bottom of her heart.
The kiss lasted for 5 or 10 minutes until she broke it, the fur on her face was completely red even her breathing became harder until she felt asleep. Rika was shocked she knew that Gats liked him but she never expected her to kiss him but it happened and Rika and Rena also were kissing with him. "What did I get myself into?" she asked herself in her mind but then she calmed herself with one thought "If I am going to make Sergey love than its okay to have few rivals and it will only make my victory more greater." With that thought she went to her dream world where Sergey was hers and only hers
