Hybrid Tamer

-Chapter 6-

-Last Time-

"Well…" Naruto started, scratching the back of his head as he struggled to think on how to put it. "…to put simply it means she needs an attitude adjustment. She acts way too stuck-up and arrogant, like she's some big bad tough guy and that everyone else is just fodder that will get in the way." He stated, not beating around the bush at all.

"I… can see that somewhat, but I do not see the problem so far," Renamon said, getting a dry look from Naruto.

"That's because you act almost the exact same way," He told her bluntly, if this insulted the fox digimon at all she didn't show it as her face maintained its usual blank expression. "Plus, I've seen what that kind of attitude leads to." Memories of his last fight with Sasuke played through his head as he unconsciously grabbed the remaining stump of his missing limb.

"And what would that be exactly?" Renamon asked callously, obviously not taking what he was saying seriously still.

Naruto looked Renamon straight in the eyes with a glare making her freeze. "It ended with my best friend and teammate trying to kill me all in the name of more power." He told her harshly before stomping off, leaving the stunned fox digimon in her spot.

However, it wasn't his little piece that had left her shocked, it was the fact that for a brief few moments she had sworn that the sclera of his eyes had bled into a dark black…

…just like hers.

-And Now-

Rika and Naruto stalked down the dark streets of Shinjuku in silence while a barely noticeable yellow blur dashed across the structures above them, giving away Renamon's presence as she followed them. "…So why are we just wandering around in the middle of the night?" The one-armed blonde asked curiously while they walked, his anger at Renamon having dissipated at that point, mostly. "I thought we were going to go fight something."

"We are, but first we have to find a digimon to fight." Rika said curtly as she stared at the device in her hand, though there was a tinge of excitement to her words. She had been in a somewhat good mood since she'd gotten home and remade her deck with the new cards she got. The prospect of using it for the first time in actual combat had her almost shaking with adrenaline.

"How? By wandering around randomly until we just happen to find one?"

And just like that the redhead felt her eagerness replaced with irritation with an eyebrow starting to twitch as she had a pretty good idea where this was going. "No, this," She waves her D-power* in front of his face. "will go off when a digimon is close by and then lead us to it." 'I swear if he starts asking stupid questions over and over again I'm going to…' Due to the graphic content within this train of thought, the remainder of it cannot be shown.

. "So… we ARE just walking around until we stumble into a fight." Naruto said with a deadpan, earning a light glare from the redhead that easily he shrugged off. "Whatever, as long as it doesn't involve sitting around doing nothing, I'm all for it." Rika just sighed in annoyance and continued walking while staring at her D-power.

Meanwhile on the rooftops, Renamon was pretty much on auto-pilot as she tailed the duo. Her mind was busy going over what she had seen earlier. 'How? How did his eyes change like that? It couldn't have been a trick of the light, I was looking it right at him. And he can't be a digimon in disguise, that's for su-GAH!' Her train of thought was interrupted by a sudden sharp pain within her noggin, making her stumble slightly and almost fall before she managed to catch herself. 'Sovereigns damn it! Not again!' It was something she had kept entirely to herself, but ever since she'd waken up from that memory dream thing she'd been having migraines on a regular basis, usually every few hours or so.

Though Renamon was pretty sure that Rika's grandmother knew about them somehow, since she'd always find a pair of tablets by the futon she'd been using with Seiko's scent all over them. Without pause, one of the fox digimon's hands darted to her other arm and reached underneath the upper part of sleeve, pulling out said tablets after a few seconds.

After swallowing the bitter medication and repressing a sigh of relief as the pain stopped, Renamon's expression returned to the definition of calm and collected. Yet, if you looked closely, one could see as her paws scrunched up into fists with hints of blue flame around them. 'What is wrong with me? I came here to get stronger, to unlock my evolution, to become the best of the best...' She thought as her gaze hardened. '…and yet, after barely even a week in this world and I feel like I've gotten so much weaker. Hell, a mere human was able to defeat me in straight combat.'

Yes, Naruto was much stronger than any human she'd seen before, but even that fight should have been a breeze for her. He only had one arm for crying out loud! Before she could delve further into her frustration though, Renamon froze up as her fur suddenly stood on end.

At the same time Rika and Naruto stopped walking as her D-power started going off and started projecting a holographic compass. "Finally," The redhead of the two said with a smirk as she pivoted on her heel to face the way the arrow was pointing, "Let's get going before we miss all the acti-What are you doing!?" Rika shrieked when after barely three steps she suddenly found herself being lifted off her feet by Naruto.

"Taking a shortcut," Naruto said with a grin, oblivious or ignoring the girl's yells of indignation as he swung her onto his back. On instinct, Rika wrapped her arms around his neck and clutched his waist tightly with her thighs, Naruto adding support to one leg with his arm. "Now hold on tight!"

"Put me dooOOOOOWN!" Rika screamed at the top of her lungs as Naruto leapt several feet into the air and landed on the rooftop next to Renamon. The two blondes only shared a brief glance and a nod before disappearing in blurs of movement, the only proof they were there being the fading screams of a terrified redhead.

In their haste to leave, none of them noticed as a plain black car appear from the shadows of an alley way and drive up to where the two kids were just standing. The driver, a generic looking man with plain brown hair wearing a crisp black suit with a weird radar gun thing in one hand, stepped out and looked at the top of the building while raising his free hand to his ear. "Command this is analysis team. Visual contact has been lost, repeat visual contact of Anomaly and the Wild One has been lost."

…

…

*Ksht* [Roger that analysis team. Did you manage to complete your primary object?] A soft, feminine voice asked over the crackling radio.

Raising the radar gun in his grip, the man glanced at a readout that was displayed on the back of it then at the other men barely visible in the car hunched over a laptop, getting a thumbs-up in response. "Affirmative, new virtual bio-scan acquired from Anomaly."

[Then return to Hypnos immediately, that data is a level Alpha priority.]

"Understood, we're on our way now." The man said while climbing back into the car and quickly driving off.

-Back with our Protagonist-

"What's with the weird fog dome?" Naruto asked as he landed just outside a construction zone where said dome. Rika clambered off his back as soon as they stopped moving, huffing slightly from screaming and the adrenaline still coursing through her. Though this didn't stop her from sending her strongest glare at Naruto while she did so.

"It's a digital field, an unusual phenomenon that happens whenever most digimon manage to bio-emerge into the real world." Renamon stated, landing right beside her tamer and the one-armed blond with her usual grace. "It usually dissipates after an hour or whenever something makes it 'pop'. Until then it acts like a barrier that keeps the newly arrived digimon inside."

Naruto nodded despite not really understanding it, before yelping in pain as a recovered Rika kicked him harshly in the shin before getting right in his face. "Never. Do. That. Again." She growled out through gritted teeth, emphasizing each word with a sharp jab to Naruto's chest.

With her piece said, the angry redhead marched into the dome, shortly followed by Renamon and Naruto. However as soon as the two blondes crossed the veil of vapor, both recoiled as an extremely pungent smell invaded their nostrils. And judging by the coughing sounds just ahead of them they weren't the only ones affected.

"Oh Kami, what the hell is that smell?" Naruto gagged out as he struggled to hold down his dinner.

*Sniff* "Ugh, gasoline I think… … …oh sovereigns damn it." Renamon swore with a facepalm as the fog cleared enough for all three of them to make out several large piles of black sludge with faces surrounding them. "Petromon*, it just had to be Petromon."

"Run into them before?" Naruto asked, pulling out a kunai he kept hidden in his sleeve and slicing apart a couple of them, before sighing in annoyance as they quickly reformed.

"Twice, they're just as stupid and almost as annoying as their cousins the Numemon, and those things like to throw their own feces at others." While she spoke, Renamon acrobatically avoided several shots of black goo that started rapidly eating through the ground as soon as it made contact. "Power Paw!" She cried out while smashing her blue flaming fist into the closest ones, causing them to light up light little bonfires before exploding into glowing red flecks of data. "Best thing to do is burn them, anything else barely phases them."

"Oh sure, let me just whip up some like that, I'll get right on it," Naruto said with a deadpan as he blocked used a kunai to slice several more tendrils trying to grab him and Rika, resulting in his clothing getting covered with the ooze. "Oi! Are you going to stand there like a moron or get to cover already?" He asked, glancing back at the redhead he was protecting standing there like nothing was wrong.

Rika rolled her eyes while slowly drawing a card from her deck. "I don't need to hide, Renamon and I have this covered." She said confidently while swiping the card through her D-power in a dramatic fashion, the small device generating a small arc of electricity as she did so. "Digi-modify! Flame Mode activate!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Renamon gained a slight glow around her. When it stopped her blonde fur had an orange tint to it and her white fur a red tint, her fists and feet were now engulfed in bright oranges flames, and her eyes were completely obscured by blue fire.

However, before the foxy digimon even had a chance to try out this interesting new form, all chaos broke out as the entire area suddenly caught ablaze in the blink of an eye. The reason, Petromon ljust like snails and slugs leave trails of slime behind as they move, only highly flammable just like themselves. And since these digimon had spent several minutes alone and confined to such a small area, most of the ground was currently soaked in this combustible substance.

Rika and Renamon were fine as the former was just outside the soaked area and the later was currently immune to fire when this happened. Naruto on the other hand was neither and was swiftly caught up in the sudden inferno. "GAAAAAAH! HOT! HOT! HOT!" The blond screamed at the top of his lungs, running around in circles while his oil soaked clothes were quickly being incinerated. "SOMEBODY PUT ME OUT ALREADY!"

Thinking fast, Renamon allowed the effects of the card to dissipate before grabbing Naruto by his collar. Hopping out of the blaze, she landed next to pile of loose earth and promptly shoved the burning blonde headfirst into it, burying him up to his ankles and smothering the flames.

"Mfff Mfhm (Thank you)." Naruto said in a muffled voice as his feet wiggled in a comical manner. "…Mmm Hmmfle Hff Mff (Now get me out of here)." Luckily for him, Renamon could understand what he was saying and lazily dragged him out by one foot. *Thump* "…ow."

As Naruto stood up and dusted himself off though, Rika's face gained a light green hue as the remaining tatters of his shirt fell apart, revealing the slightly pink but otherwise unhurt skin flesh beneath. Now the blonde didn't have some ridiculous chiseled statue figure, but his muscles were clearly much more defined and lithe than that of an average thirteen-year-old's.

However, all Rika was seeing was blood and bits of flesh as memories of that night flashed through her mind suddenly. Quickly adverting her eyes, she instead looked towards Renamon with what she hoped was a commanding gaze. "What are you waiting for Renamon, that data isn't going to download itself." She said while pointing to the large cluster of red particles that were slowly starting to disperse.

The fox digimon didn't bother to reply verbally, opting to just walk over to the data in question. Taking a deep breath, her body once again gained a slight glow, only now she was hovering a few inches off the ground as the red flecks of light were rapidly drawn towards her and soaked into her body. The process itself barely took a minute, Renamon felt invigorated with the flood of new power…

…for all of four seconds before her headache from before flared up suddenly. She was only just able to suppress herself from wincing, the only visible sign of her discomfort being a mild twitch of her eye.

At the exact same time, Naruto grimaced slightly with a hiss as he also got a headache, albeit a very mild one*, and a sharp pain that shot through where his missing arm would be. "Damn stupid ghost pain thingy." He grumbled while resisting the urge to try and rub the hurting area that didn't exist. Seiko had explained that he was suffering from 'Phantom Pains*' and said that they would likely fade away over time. Yet, if anything, the more time passed they just seemed to be getting gradually worse for him.

"I would recommend we leave soon, your worlds emergency services are probably already on their way." Renamon stated as she gestured to the still burning, but thankfully contained, giant ball of fire not even thirty feet from them. Naturally, as soon as those words passed her lips, the distinct sound of police and fire department sirens started to fill the air as red and blue lights flashed in the distance.

Rika was in agreement, but just as they were about to go, she spotted a glaring issue. The only way for her to go currently was towards where the sirens were coming from, since all that was behind her was a massive wall of fire and the sides were blocked off by tall fences and buildings.

Well… there was one other way she could go.

Glancing at her digimon partner, the redhead's teeth grit in annoyance when she got a look that clearly said 'Hell to the no!' in response before Renamon disappeared from sight. 'Great, just great. Now I have to ask the idiot for help.' *Sigh* "Naruto… give me a lift. Now."

Said blond looked at her with confusion as his head tilted. 'Wasn't she just yelling at me about doing?' He wondered before shrugging it off and turning away from her so that she could climb onto his back. Once securely in place, he crouched lightly before springing straight into the air just as the police and fire department arrived, narrowly missing getting spotted.

When they got back to the Nonaka residence though, Rika's mother ended up seeing them as Rika was getting off Naruto's still bare back. This resulted in everyone getting tinnitus from her squealing at the top of her lungs and Rika almost needing a new spine from the model giving her an extremely strong hug. Rumiko then proceeded to run off to her car with her struggling daughter while demanding 'All of the details.'

Seeing the obvious distress and discomfort the poor girl was in, Naruto and Renamon did what they believed was the right thing…

… and blatantly ignored her while going to bed for the night, because it had been a long day and they both were tired.

Since there was only one guest room, the duo was forced to share for the time being. Though this didn't seem to bother either of them as the moment they reach said room, they simply meandered across the room to their respective futon. Sitting on his, Naruto pulled off his ruined pants and looked them over with a sigh. "Man, I need to get more durable clothes." He said while tossing the destroyed article of clothing into the trashcan by the door.

"Or you could just avoid getting set on fire." Renamon said in a casually tone as she sat on a down on a stool with a comb and started brushing out the bits of dirt and debris caught in her fur.

"Says the one that set me on fire in the first place." Naruto grumbled, getting up and walking over to a large dresser that sat in in the corner. Opening the middle drawer and pulling out a pair of plain black shorts, he slipped them on with some difficulty then grabbed a matching tee from the top drawer.

He was just about to put it on as well when he heard a soft swear coming from across the room. Looking over curiously, he was greeted with the sight of Renamon struggling in vain to reach a spot on her upper back where something had gotten stuck in her fur. "Need some help?"

"No… I can… get it myself." Renamon grunted out as she continued to try and contort her arms far enough to reach the foreign object. Naruto watched this go on for several minutes before the humor of the sight was finally gone and it was starting to become a little sad.

With a sigh, he finished getting dressed then walked over to the digimon. "Move your arms, I'll get it." He told Renamon, getting a grumble in response as she reluctantly did so.

"Fine, but be careful that area is sensi-TIVE!*" She yelped as Naruto's fingers slipped through her fur and scraped against the skin underneath as he wrapped them around the object, a stone most likely from when their spar.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be careful," Naruto said as he pulled the stone free, only for his eyes to widen when an extra bloody inch was revealed. "Holy crap! How the hell were you still able to fight with this?" Naruto asked, holding the jagged rock out for her to see as the blood on it rapidly dissolved into data*.

Renamon took one look at it and scoffed. "Hmph, like such a little thing would stop me." She stated in a matter of fact tone while rolling her eyes. While outwardly she was her usual stoic and calm, inwardly was an entire different matter. 'Oh thank Fanglongmon! That thing was itching and stinging like crazy!'

"Eh whatever, I'm gonna get rid of… what the hell?" Naruto asked, his and Renamon's eyes widened in shock and confusion as the bits of data from the fox digimon's blood circled around his hand before seeping into it.

"That's a good questi-GAH!" Renamon screamed out as her headache was suddenly ramped up to a fifteen, causing her to collapse to the floor holding her skull.

"Renamon! What's wron-ACK!" Naruto collapsed, due to a large jolt of pain that shot through both his head and body. Landing right beside the fox digimon, they both started convulsing in silent agony as arcs of electricity started jumping between them.

Renamon clutched her head so tight that small trickles of blood started to ooze out as flashes of Naruto's memories appeared in her mind. She saw as that Sasuke boy impaled him through the chest with an electric attack, him getting second place in a ramen eating contest against a blind looking girl with blue hair*, watching as he tried to get the attention of that pink-haired girl only for her to bash him over the head them fawn over Sasuke.

Meanwhile Naruto shook and twitched as his whole body felt like it was filled with liquid fire. Similar images cropped inside his own mind, though once again they were all of Renamon fighting and/or destroying various digimon before downloading their data. At the same time, whenever a jolt of static washed over him, for the briefest of moments a transparent silhouette of Renamon could be seen cloaked over him.

With each passing second the pain got worse for them, the electricity flew around wilder, the memories more distorted, and the outline more solid looking. Then finally, after what felt like an eternity (really about ten minutes), the whole thing seemed to reach its peak before a blindingly bright flash filled the entire room, followed by a pair of screams of absolute agony.

When it cleared, both blondes could be seen lying on the floor, completely out cold, drenched in sweat, and had somehow ended up snuggled right up to eachother. It was this scene that Seiko, who had been out shopping, found when she returned and was putting away the laundry. She took one look at this and the basket of laundry she was holding fell to the floor with a solid *thud* as a fire filled her eyes.

'They had better not have done what I think they have done! That boy is WAY too young to even be considering having sex yet, especially in MY house.' She thought as she looked at the duo in their compromising position, her anger causing her to have tunnel vision and miss the slight scorch marks along the walls, ceiling, and floor. Marching over until she was towering over their sleeping forms, she felt her temper rise as she looked down at them.

Renamon was partially curled up in a fetal position, her head pressed against Naruto's chest and her puffed out tail curled around his leg. Naruto meanwhile had his chin resting against the foxy digimon's head, his arms were wrapped around her torso and his leg was...

'Wait, armS!?' Seiko thought as her eyes locked onto Naruto's right shoulder, her gaze widening in shock as instead of a useless stump there was now a fully functional arm. A fur covered and clawed arm with a small glowing screen thing on the back of the hand that looked just like the one she'd seen Rika messing around with*.

…

…

…

"…I am too old for this shit."

-End Chapter-

AN: Well, now Naruto has a new arm and is now a hybrid like in Humon?. Not only that, but he is also now on Hypnos's radar. What will happen next? Keep reading to find out. Now, for all of you who keep PMing me about the digivice names, the digivices in this season are called both D-arcs and D-powers, I checked. I will just keep referring to them as the latter since that's what I've been doing so please stop messaging me about that. Petromon are a digimon that I made up for this chapter, they are champion level but rather weak only being slightly stronger than Numemon and as you could probably figure out, their name is based off the word petroleum.

Now, as for Naruto and Renamon's headaches, those are due to the fact their minds are still somewhat connected after their first 'encounter', with Naruto not having as much an issue with it thanks to being used to having others in his head, ie the Kyuubi. For the blood thing, I'm going off the idea that digimon have it and can bleed, but it simply dissolves away into data either shortly after leaving the body or when the digimon themselves die.

And finally, yes Naruto has a digivice embedded inside his new arm, and no that doesn't mean he's Renamon's new tamer. It will act almost identically to a regular D-Power but will have a few added functions that will be revealed later. Now to the bit most of you probably care about the most, the pairing. I will be putting up two polls after I upload this chapter, one for who the pairing is and the other for if it will be a single or double pairing since many of you have been requesting that or a harem and I don't write harems. Thank you and please review.
