12) The Tamer Killer
"Hey guys!", Takato called out, "deal me in!"
Kenta and Kazu were already playing by the time he'd arrived at their usual meeting place: the dinosaur shelter.
"We were just finishing up", Kazu said, as he gathered his cards and lay-out.
"Guys?"
"Was that for real?", Kenta asked.
"I told you: Guilmon is a real digimon! If only you'd waited a little longer... Why did you run away?"
"That was a nasty trick you pulled!", Kazu accused. "I don't know how you managed it, especially how you made that hole in the wall, but as for the rest... not funny Takato".
"You just about scared the shit out of us", Kenta followed Kazu's lead (as he always did) "It was an impressive prank, but sometimes pranks can go too far, yannow".
"It wasn't a trick. If you'd've stayed..."
"C'mon Kenta, we're gonna be late"
"It wasn't a trick", Takato explained to the empty shelter. He didn't notice he was being watched.
"Guilmon?", Juri asked herself.

"How's it goin'?", Renamon asked.
"I have the cards, and I'm separating out all the duplicates", as he pointed out the organized stacks he was laying out on the kitchen table. "I guess I'll exchange some of these with Takato and Jen, then I'll try to select the most useful ones, memorize them, like they suggested".
"I just wanted to let you know I'm going out for awhile".
"Be back soon?"
"By lunch time, for sure".
"Have fun and stay out of trouble. And if you can't stay out of trouble, don't get caught".

"Takato Matsuda?", a man in a dark gray suit, and dark sunglasses approached. "Genyra Lee?"
"Jenyra", he corrected the mispronunciation.
"Uhhhh... that's me", Takato answered.
"Who are you and what do you want?", Jen asked.
"You were at the railroad overpass yesterday", he accused.
"How did..."
"It's a fine game if you play with cards. You kids are playing a dangerous game, and you don't even know it. Maybe someone should inform your parents..."
"Takato!", a cheerful voice called out.
"Hey you!", Jen called after the strange man. "I demand some answers!", as he began to chase after him.
"Juri?"
"Ummmm...", she began, "there was something..."
"Yes, Juri?", he prompted.
"I heard what you said in the park, and I want to see it too... your real, live digimon". She decided the direct approach was the best approach.
"You were spying?"
"I didn't have to. I'm surprised half the people there aren't asking you the same thing".
"If you're sure..."
"I really would like to see it", she insisted. Those eyes. Those deep brown eyes, Takato couldn't deny her request if his life depended on it.
Takato was explaining as they approached the shed: "He lives in here, and he can be a bit scary, but he's really quite gentle".
"What kind of a digimon is it?"
"Well, he's really strong, and I designed him..."
"You did?"
"Yeah, if you're familiar with Augomon... he's like that: a dinosaur, but bigger and bright red... anyway, we're here".
"He lives in here?", she asked, as the shed was apparently empty.
"Probably sleeping again... Guilmon!", he called out.
Two yellow eyes glared back, seeing the expression... "Ehhhhh, sorry Juri... just a bad joke. I shouldn't have led you on like that. Let's get out..."
"Ieeeeee!", she screamed. Takato cringed.
"Takato?", Guilmon asked. "Got any bread?"
Juri threw her arms around Guilmon. He'd totally misinterpreted her reaction.
"So cute!", she declared.
"You mean cool?", Takato asked.
"Ummmmm... Takato? Who's this girl? Friend of yours?"
"Hi, I'm Juri", she introduced herself. "Juri Katou".
"Yeah, sort of... she's in my class at school".
"Pleased to meet you Juri", Guilmon said. "Takato's friends are my friends".
"I know", Juri explained, "I have something that'll make you even cuter", she said, as she took a flower sticker from a pocket, peeled off the backing, and stuck it to Guilmon's snout.
"What do you think, Takato? Cute?", Guilmon asked.
"At least Kenta and Kazu didn't pussify my digimon!" He kept that thought to himself.
"Ehhhhhh...", was all he said.

It was just Renamon, a deserted baseball field, and a forming digital field. Renamon had seen, and was investigating. Three flybeemon materialized, and one of them attacked. Renamon dispatched it with one swipe of her claws.
Another one got behind her and fired a stinger. She saw the flybeemon too late to avoid taking a hit, but at least it didn't hit anything vital. She pulled it out, but not before taking enough venom to drop her to her knees. Both flybeemon opened up with an electrical attack that caused her to almost pass out.
Jen and Terriermon were just now arriving. "Anyone in there?", he asked.
"Pika, pika, pika", Calumon was also joining them. "I believe so, culu?"
Renamon lay flat on her back, still. The two remaining flybeemon were closing in for the kill. Suddenly, Renamon leaped to her feet, jumped between the two flybeemon, catching them completely unaware.
"Koyousetsu!"
They burst into data. The digital field was dissipating, just as Koichi was arriving. "Damn fool wrecked and blocked the street, had to take the long way 'round".
Renamon vaulted over the chain link fence: a maneuver no human, no matter how athletic, could have done.
"What the hell were you thinking?!", Koichi reprimanded. "You aren't supposed to..."
"It was nothing..."
"That doesn't look like 'nothing' to me!", he pointed to the trickle of blood from her ankle.
"Just some flybeemon", she continued to explain. "Feral digimon. If they'd gotten out, who knows what damage they'd do".
"Renamon's right", Jen agreed. "It is our responsibility as Tamers to protect the public from destructive digimon. If Terriermon and I hadn't acted when we did, a little girl would have lost her life".
"Think of the position it puts us digimon in", Renamon continued to explain, "how would it look to have feral digimon going around, attacking people? If I thought I couldn't handle them myself, I'd wait for you".
"I guess I shouldn't be so over protective".

That night, Renamon slipped into Koichi's bedroom, climbed into his bed, straddling him on her knees.
"You remember when I said that we digimon materialize as fully functional physical beings?", she said, as her paws slipped under his pajama top.
"Uh-huh"
"I meant FULLY FUNCTIONAL".
Koichi slipped his hands under her mane. Her tits were quite small, as with any canid, but the nipples elongated and hardened under his touch. Her face lowered towards his, as his rose to meet hers. He locked his lips over her delicate, fuzzy lips, and began to explore her tongue with his.
He slid his hands over her furry form, over the furry buttocks, and began to explore her fuzzy white labs. Since digimon lived as virtual lifeforms, they had no concept of modesty at all. She pulled off his PJ bottoms, and began to pump his already stiffening shaft with her, three-fingered, padded, paw.
"I wannit", she said softly, as her lips locked onto his dick. She took it deeper than he thought possible. And she was getting very slick down there.
"I can't stand it!", Koichi called out as he rolled from beneath Renamon. He went to the foot of the bed, and Renamon understood, sliding herself forward until her tail dropped straight down. She pulled up her knees and spread her legs.
Koichi pushed her knees farther apart, and held on. She pulled back as he slipped into her warm wetness. He rammed it home, over and over, as Renamon's calls grew louder and much more fox-like. Neither cared if anyone else heard.
She was pure vixen as the orgasm hit: "YIFF, YIFF, YIFF...". One final plunge, and Koichi felt himself come, a seemingly endless stream of sperm pumping her full, one pulse after another. Finally, he collapsed on top of her, as she felt herself overflow, the warm trickle running down the base of her tail.
"Oh Renamon"
"Oh Koichi"
The morning light found them still intertwined.
"Sleep good?", his father, Doyle, asked with a wink when they went downstairs for breakfast.
"I guess it's not a secret"
"It wouldn't surprise me if half the neighborhood knew".

Renamon and Koichi were sitting in Koichi's car, a half-block or so from Takato's school. A man in a very dark, almost black, suit, with golden hair, and dark sunglasses stood in front of the gate. Just stareing at the school, clicking his lighter.
"That the asshole?", Koichi asked.
"Fits Terriermon's description", Renamon confirmed.
"Wanna have some fun?"
"Huh?", Renamon asked. Koichi had his cell phone out and was dialing.
"Hello? Police department?"
"I don't know, but there's this suspicious character hanging around Shinjuku Elementary..."
"Dark suit, blonde hair, wearing dark sunglasses..."
"No, I don't recognize him..."
"Just standing there, I think he's waiting for a child to molest. Looks like a real perv, if you ask me..."
"I can't be sure, but I think I saw a pistol under his jacket..."
"My name? Takadashi Matsuki: my son is a student, and I'm very worried about this guy..."
"Thank you so much..."
They waited. Suddenly, two police cars approached from both directions, lights flashing, sirens giving a couple of brief squawks.
"You there!", one officer ordered Yamaki, "don't move!"
"Up against the wall!", the other ordered, as they began the pat down search.
"What business do you have here?"
Renamon and Koichi were both about ready to bust a gut, they were laughing so hard. It wasn't going to be a good day for Yamaki.
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Renamon stood at the very edge of the roof of a high rise. She was watching a small, dark figure bouncing from one roof top to another. This was just what she'd been waiting for...
Impmon landed on the roof of a house, and looked down and through the bedroom window of the house next door. Two very young children, twin boy and girl, were fighting over a teddy bear. They had it between them, pulling its arms.
"You can play after I'm done!", the girl was telling her brother. Impmon heard every word, thanks to his sensitive digimon hearing.
"Mom said I could have it now!", her brother challenged.
Impmon had a flashback:
"Mako broke my doll! Punish him!"
"Punish?", Impmon asked.
"You took my toy first!", Mako counter challenged.
"That's because you used mine!"
"Mom said I could play with them!"
"Mom didn't say that! Mako is a liar! Punish him!"
"Impmon, don't listen to my sister".
"Impmon, you have to do what I say! Do it!"
"Impmon!"
"Impmon!"
"Impmon!"
It went on and on, until they were literally trying to pull him apart. He remembered: "I left the Violet Zone Air Defense Corps for this?!", he thought.
The very idea gave him a shiver that caused him to wrap his arms around himself, as he watched the teddy bear's arm torn off, stuffing flying, as both children began crying.
"What?!", he turned to face the anthrovixen.
"What were you looking at just now?", she asked.
"Nunya damn business!", he said, as he took off.
Impmon wasn't the only one who could play mind games.
"Will you stop following me!", he demanded of Renamon.
"I just wanted to ask you something".
"You want to ask me something? Of course you would want to ask me. It's you human-dependent fools who would need my advice the most".
"Why don't you have a partner?"
"I would never have one of those stupid, selfish Outworlders in control of my life!".
"Yet without partners, we can't evolve and become stronger..."
"What's with the 'can't this' and 'can't that'? You need to rely on your own resources for strength. You don't need to evolve for that".
"Then how? Where does it come from?"
"What are you? Stupid? I have to explain everything to you?"
"Well?", Renamon prompted.
"You just have to reach deep within yourself. It's already there, you just have to find it for yourself. No one can do that for you..."
"I see", she said.
"What do you mean, 'I see'? You know-it-alls really piss me off. If you think you're so damned smart, then why bother asking?"
"Sorry to have bothered you", with that, Renamon turned and climbed the wall.
"Come back here, you!", Impmon demanded. "I'm not through with you!"
It was just as Renamon suspected all along: Impmon was a fast talker, but understood nothing.

East Shinjuku: Ruki's House
"Ruki, I need some potatos", her grandmother Seiko requested. "Would you go and get some for me?"
"No", she said.
"But without potatos, I can't make your favorite dish".
"I don't give a rat's ass. I'm not hungry, and I'm going out. I have better things to do than waste my time here with you".
Seiko was both perplexed and concerned: the attitude problem was getting worse, and she didn't know why.
West Shinjuku
It was nearly sundown, and Renamon was surveying the city from the top of a construction crane. There was a burst of light, as a thick, but localized, cloud was forming not too far off. Somewhere in the park, she decided.
Juri was just saying her farewells to Takato and Guilmon. Since meeting Guilmon, she'd visited again. He decided it was a good thing, that Guilmon was making friends on his own. Even if Juri insisted on calling him "cute", instead of "cool".
As Juri was departing, Jen and Terriermon were arriving.
"There's a digimon!", Terriermon said, as they ran past.
"He's right: there is a digimon materializing", Guilmon agreed. They followed after Jen and Terriermon.
Renamon looked all around the digital field. She couldn't see it yet, but clearly heard it: a high pitched "Keeee, keeee" sound.
Renamon jumped aside, just avoiding six sharp, long, red talons.
Takato, Guilmon, Jen, and Terriermon ran into the digital field.
"That's Renamon!", Takato announced the obvious, "and..."
Jen had his digivice out:
Harpymon
Armour level
Mythical anthroform digimon
Her attack is Wind Seeker
"Where's Koichi?", Takato asked.
As Guilmon and Terriermon were running forward to join Renamon, Harpymon folded her wings in front of her, then flung them wide:
"Wind Seeker!", she fired at them, however, it cut into the ground between them. She wasn't looking to harm them, just make them back off.
"Koyousetsu!", Renamon attacked, however, this was ineffective against Harpymon's body armour. She gave Harpymon a back-handed slap across the face.
"Koichi! You made it!", Jen announced his arrival.
He was just in time to see the end. Renamon leaped up, and threw punches at Harpymon, almost too fast for the eye to follow. She finished with a round house kick that knocked the anthroavian to the ground, unconscious and defenseless. Renamon just stood over the fallen digimon.
"What's wrong with Renamon?", Takato asked.
"Why isn't she defeating her enemy and loading its data, like always?", Jen asked.
"Because I asked her not to", Koichi explained. "Back off; let's see what she does", he called to Renamon.
Harpymon shook her head, then sat up to look around. On one knee, she turned towards Renamon and the others.
"Wind..."
"Wait!", Koichi called out as he stepped forward. "Why are you attacking us?", he asked.
Harpymon stood: "I should be asking you that question! You sic your renamon on me... You, none of you, are the one I seek!"
"We have been having problems with feral and malicious digimon lately", Koichi explained. "We need to be sure of your intentions".
"As if it's any of your business, I was called from the Digital World..."
"Harpymon!", a kid maybe a couple of years older than Henry was entering the digital field. "It's true, you really do exist!"
"You are the one I seek", she said, as she ran towards her partner.
"RUKI!", Jen called out. He wasn't the only new arrival.
"Icedevimon..."
"DON'T!"
"...destroy her".
"Frost Claw!"
Harpymon never had a chance. She disintigrated into data: "That's it: come to papa", Icedevimon gloated, as he loaded Harpymon's data.
"NOOOOOOOOO!", the unfamiliar boy called out as he dropped to his knees.
"Another wannabe; another cry baby", Ruki said as she laughed. "Our work here is done... We'll take care of you later", she threatened. Ruki and her new partner disappeared into the surrounding woods.
"How... how could... how could she do that?", the boy sobbed as he looked at his now useless digivice.
"I'm so sorry", Koichi apologized. "I wish we could have prevented it".
He looked up with glistening eyes: "Why?"
"She's fucked up in the head", Koichi said. "C'mon, you can't stay here. We'll take you home".
"No..."
"You can't stay here", he told him again. He left, supported between Koichi and Renamon.
Jen knew he and Takato were thinking the same thing: Ruki and Icedevimon were specifically targeting partnered digimon.
