Ep 4: Tempting Temptation

More
facts were revealed, but still nothing much was clear enough. Vermon involvement with our friends is getting deeper. Some
were appealing, other were not. How long will the charade keep on? One thing
for sure, and that is it won’t be for long…
###########################
The
next day at the Digital World, Hasan, Chris and Ben
were at Renamon’s house for a friendly visit, since
it had became the place where they regularly hang out at these days beside BlackWarGreymon ‘s mansion
“What were you
doing at Lillymon’s town anyway?” Chris asked Hasan, all of them sitting at the living room.
“Errr… I was looking for something…” Hasan
answered coyly.
“Something like
what? It must be very important that it made you leave poor Gomamon
behind, the poor thing,” Renamon said as she was
carrying Gomamon on her lap, petting his head.
“Yeah, he left
me all alone! Good thing Lillymon was there to give a
ride back home, she’s a good friend,” Gomamon whined,
pushing this matter further than its worth to make the others sympathies with
him.
“Hey, I said
that I was sorry. I was so caught up by how late I was that I simply forgot,” Hasan said to justify himself. “Come on, what do you want
me to do to make you forget about this little mishap?”
“Hmmm… I know, one big meal of fried fish and chicken, with a supreme
ice cream for a dessert should cover it up!” Gomamon
chirped.
“Oh boy… fine.”
“Oh,
and a jumbo-size pizza!” Gomamon added.
“Don’t push
your luck.” Hasan scowled at him.
“Hehe, Gomamon sure knows how to
have his ways.” Ben chuckled.
“You haven’t
told us yet what’s the thing you wanted to check there,” Terriermon
then brought up the matter again.
“It’s nothing
important, I’ll tell you in another time,” Hasan
replied and tried to find a way to change the subject. “Hmmm, is it me or are you
somehow… brighter? Did we miss something, Renamon?”
he turned to his female partner and asked, noticing how she seemed overly
cheerful.
“Oh… uhmm, well, yes, you can say that.” Renamon
blushed and looked at Leomon, who was sitting next to
her on the sofa. Leomon nodded back to her with a
smile. “I’m happy because… Leomon and I are going to
stay together, for good!” she happily announced.
“Hey, that’s
terrific! Congrats!” Hasan congratulated them.
“Good move Leomon. Heh, you’re gonna save me the trouble of going over to your place at
the mountain from now on.” Chris chuckled.
“Yeah, we’re
all happy for you!” Ben cheerfully said and Terriermon
agreed with him.
“Aw, chucks,
this means I won’t be able to come over at your place as often now. But I’m
very happy for you, Renamon!” Gomamon
said jokingly.
“Thank you
everyone, I couldn’t be happier. And you can still come by anytime you want Gomamon.” Renamon smiled and
hugged him snuggly as he blushed by that.
“Yeah, well, this also
means you won’t be able to live with us anymore. But don’t worry, me and Goma can manage by ourselves,” Hasan
said. “You just keep Leomon pleased.”
“Thanks, Hasan.” Renamon smiled with a
little blush.
“Well then, we
better leave you two alone now,” Ben then stated.
“Right, Ben.
We’re such a pain. Hehe…” Terriermon
snickered.
“You don’t have
to,” Leomon replied.
“Nah, it’s
okay, you two have some catching up to do. Besides, we need to do something
down town,” Hasan said and then Renamon
noticed that he was holding a big bag.
“What’s that
you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Uhh, this? Errr… some paperwork,
yeah, that’s it,” Hasan made up.
“That’s some
paperwork,” Gomamon uttered and tried to take a peek.
“Shhh, not now Gomamon! Come on,
we need to go. Let’s go guys,” Hasan hastily said and
rushed out of the house with his friends, leaving Renamon
and Leomon alone with a puzzled expression.
“He can’t fool
me, he’s hiding something. Hasan is a bad liar.
Wonder what he’s keeping from us,” Renamon said.
“I’m sure it’s
nothing to worry about,” Leomon assured her.
“Well, what do you
want to do today, sweetheart?” Renamon then asked
cordially as she climbed up on top of him while he was resting on the sofa.
“Hmmm… oh, yes.
I want you meet someone special to me you haven’t met before, how about it?” Leomon smiled.
“Oh? And who
could this special someone be?” Renamon retorted
grouchily, apparently getting a bit jealous.
Leomon
chuckled. “It’s little Mike. I’m sure he’d be happy to meet you.”
“Oh! Uhmm, yeah, I knew that! I wasn’t thinking it was a girl or
anything,” Renamon said embarrassingly. “I’ll be glad
to go with you, I always wanted to meet him!”
“I knew you
would.” Leomon nodded and pulled her down to him for
a soft kiss.
###########################
“Whew, that was
close,” Hasan breathed out as he and his friends got
out to town.
“What is it
that you’re trying to hide?” Ben asked Hasan.
“And don’t say
it’s nothing, because it’s obvious that you’re planning on doing something.
Come on, out with it,” Chris followed.
“Okay, I was
actually about to let you in the matter, but I didn’t want Renamon
to find out,” Hasan said, whispering.
“Why?” Gomamon wondered.
“Well…” Hasan brought out the big book from the bag he was carrying
and showed it to them. “It’s about this book.”
“What’s about
it? Looks like a normal old book to me,” Terriermon
said.
“Where did you
find it? Black’s library?” Chris inquired.
“No, I took it
from Jijimon in Lillymon’s
town, that’s why I went there,” Hasan answered.
“You mean you
made me go along with you there and then left me behind just for this old
book?” Gomamon whined.
“Will you drop
it already!?” Hasan snapped at him. “Anyway, this
book contains data of every Digimon in this Digital
World.”
“Whoa! For
real? Let me see,” Ben eagerly said and took a look at the book’s pages. “Hey,
it’s written in gibberish….”
“That’s not
gibberish, Ben. That ancient Digimon symbols,” Terriermon pointed out.
“Right on, Terriermon,” Hasan said. “Can you
read it?”
“No way, do I
look like a Digi-archeologist?” Terriermon
shook his head. “Not all Digimon can read this stuff,
it’s very old and most of us use normal words nowadays.”
“Darn, that’s
what I was afraid of…” Hasan sighed.
“What do you
want it for anyway?” Chris then asked.
“Well, because…
wait, let’s go somewhere else more private.”
“The pub is
always a good place for hanging out,” Gomamon
mentioned.
“Good idea, Goma, let’s go there.” They all agreed on heading for the
town’s pub and they immediately went over there. It wasn’t very crowded since
it was morning, thankfully, so they found an empty table and sat around it.
They opened the book before them on the table and started to study it.
“The thing that I wanna find out about is Vermon,” Hasan started.
“Vermon? That silver wolf in the long coat? What about him?”
Ben wondered.
“We suspect
he’s into something!” Gomamon said loudly.
“Hush! Not so
loud! We have to keep this just between us!” Hasan
whispered.
“Why so
hush-hush? And why are suspecting him so much?” Chris asked confusingly.
“I dunno, I have a feeling that he’s not what he pretends to
be. Something about him smells fishy. I know that Renamon
is befriending him, so I don’t want to let her into this unless I’m sure about
my doubts,” Hasan explained.
“Hmph, Renamon isn’t the only one
who’s developing a liking to that guy,” Terriermon
then snorted.
“What do you
mean?” Ben asked.
“Errr, no, nothing…”
“Oh-kay… anyway, I think if we look up for anything about Vermon in this book, there’s bound to be something that
would give us a clue,” Hasan then continued.
“Hmmm, I see.
Problem is, how are we gonna decode this? We must
find some Digimon who’s old enough to read this
ancient symbols,” Chris said.
“This book looks
neat, look at all the cool Digimon pictures on the
side of every page,” Ben was saying as he was eyeing the big book pages. “Look,
here’s yours Terriermon.”
“Oh, lemme see!” Terriermon excitedly
jumped onto the table to see.
“Come on you guys,
we’re not here for fun! This is serious,” Hasan told
them strictly.
“Yeah, sorry…
Hey, look at this. Isn’t this Zudomon?” Ben then
glimpsed.
“Really?!” Hasan gasped and snatched back the book to see for himself,
the others blinking oddly at him.
“Errr, we’re here to discuss about Vermon
not admire Digimon pics, Hasan,” Chris reminded him.
“Oh, yeah… hehe,” Hasan chuckled coyly.
“Hey guys,
isn’t that Gazimon over there?” Gomamon
then noticed Gazimon sitting at bar table all alone.
He looked so depressed, but he thankfully wasn’t drunk as he was only drinking
normal milk. They all went over to him to check what was wrong with him.
“Hey Gazimon, what’s up?” Chris greeted him first.
“Oh, hi…” Gazimon replied back in a depressed tone.
“Why so down,
buddy?” Hasan asked him in concern.
“It’s nothing…”
Gazimon said and drank a full glass of milk.
“Now come on,
your face is as long as Terriermon’s ears and you
want us to believe that nothing is wrong?” Ben said.
“I know what’s
wrong with him, it’s because of Fairymon,” Terriermon then told them as the others turned to him.
“Huh? What
happened to Fairymon?” Gomamon
asked.
“She’s going
out with that Vermon guy. We saw them kissing
yesterday.”
“What?! Fairymon too? I thought he had his eyes on Renamon,” Hasan said
surprisingly.
“Well, that’s
more reason for us to get suspicious about this Digimon,”
Chris said.
“Why? I don’t
see anything wrong to go out with a pretty girl. Maybe he knew that he doesn’t
have a chance with Renamon since she’s with Leomon,” Ben then pointed out.
“You got a
point there…” Hasan uttered.
“Hey! You’re
forgetting about Gazimon here!” Terriermon
then angered.
“Oh! We’re sorry, Gazimon,
we didn’t mean to make it worse for you,” Chris apologized.
“S’okay… it’s not like she was noticing me anyway. At least
she seems happy with him,” Gazimon sadly said.
“Hey, don’t be
like that. You shouldn’t give up this fast; you’re as good-looking as he is.
Even if he’s… errr… a bit taller,” Gomamon murmured.
“You’re not
making it any better, Gomamon,” Hasan
sighed.
“Bottom line
is, you gotta keep trying Gazimon.
Who knows? Maybe it won’t work out with them two. Now lift up your chin and
give us a big smile,” Chris tried to cheer him. Gazimon
looked at his friends and despite his sorrow, he felt happy that he had good
friends that really cared for him, and that made him draw a smile on his gloomy
face.
“Thank you all,
even if you’re just saying that to cheer me up. I know I don’t have a chance
with Fairymon,” Gazimon
said with a little beam.
“You never know
Gazimon, you just never know.” Ben shrugged.
“Anyhow, let’s
get back to the matter at hand, we still haven’t figured how to read the book,”
Hasan than stated.
“What book?” Gazimon cocked his head in wonder and Hasan
showed him the ancient book.
“Can you read
this?”
“Nope, sorry,
but I know someone who can,” Gazimon said.
“Can you tell
us who?” Chris asked of him.
“Sure, he’s
right here. Hey, Digitamamon! Come over here!” Gazimon called out for the pub bartender.
“Hey,
everybody, can I get you something?” Digitamamon
greeted them.
“You can read Digimon symbols, right?” Gazimon
asked the egg Digimon.
“Why yes,
fluently even.” Digitamamon nodded.
“That's perfect! We have a book here that we'd like you to have a look at,” Hasan eagerly said and handed him the big book.
“Hmmm, this is a Digimon info book. Where'd you get it?” Digitamamon asked curiously as he was checking the book's pages.
“That's not important. We just need information about one Digimon,” Ben told him.
“Oh? And who would that be?”
“Vermon. We need anything about that wolf,” Chris revealed. Digitamamon suddenly paled when heard that.
“Ve-Vermon? Yo-You mean that stranger that came to town a few days ago?” Digitamamon gulped.
“Yep, that's him! He's staying at your small inn, right? Is he here right now?” Gomamon inquired.
“We-Well, yeah, but he's out at the moment…” Digitamamon answered nervously.
“What's wrong, Digitama? You look so edgy all of the sudden,” Terriermon said as he noticed his odd behaviors.
“Me? N-No, I'm fine. Why are you investigating about him anyway?” Digitamamon then asked.
“We suspect that he's up to something and we want to make sure by digging up info about him. That's where you come in, Digitamamon,” Hasan said. Digitamamon was thrilled; this is the chance he's been waiting for. They were actually correct about their doubts, he himself knew how much sinister Vermon was as he witnessed when he mercilessly killed his friend Guilmon. With them knowing the truth, he wouldn't have to fear that Vermon would harm him.
“Hey, Digitamamon. Can you help us?” Terriermon called out to him.
“Huh?! Oh, yes! I want to tell you all something very critical first!” Digitamamon promptly exclaimed.
“Eh? What is it?” Gazimon wondered.
“It's… It's about…” just when Digitamamon was about to confess, Vermon came through the bar door and entered the pub. “Oh my god!” Digitamamon gasped softly when he saw him and immediately shut his mouth.
“Crap, he's here! Everybody keep it down,” Hasan whispered to them and motioned for the others to act casually so Vermon wouldn't suspect anything. The cloaked wolf quickly noticed the humans and their Digimon friends and a toothy grin appeared on his face. He walked over to them directly to say hello, with them doing their best not to look nervous.
“Good morning everyone,” Vermon greeted them with a cheerful attitude.
“Oh, hello. How do you do?” Hasan replied casually.
“Great, simply great,” Vermon said pleasantly. “I don't believe we've all been introduced properly yet, yes? I'm Vermon.” he then tried to get well acquainted with them humans.
“You're right. I'm Ben, and this is my partner Terriermon,” Ben started.
“And my name's Hasan,” Hasan said.
“Oh, you're my beautiful- I mean, Renamon's partner, correct?” Vermon asked with a smirk.
“You bet'cha! And you better not-!” Gomamon tried to say what was in his mind before Hasan muffled him with his hands.
“Hehehe, don't mind Gomamon. He gets excited fast,” Hasan chuckled nervously.
“Hmmm, quite feisty for a little tike,” Vermon said, obviously mockingly as Gomamon got madder, but Hasan kept him under control. “And you are…”
“Chris,” Chris answered.
“Ah, yes, we've met at Renamon's house at the night of the party, haven't we?”
“Uhm, yeah, and Gazimon was with me.”
“Right, I remember that clearly,” Vermon whispered almost silently as he glared at Gazimon with sharp eyes.
“Excuse me?”
“Nothing. And who might your Digimon partner be?” Vermon then asked.
“Oh, it's Leomon,” Chris told him and Vermon raised his eyebrows surprisingly. “
“Really? That's quite unexpected…”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, no offense, but I never imagined that some human can be a partner to a brute Digimon like him,” Vermon said straightforwardly.
“Brute?” Chris stared at Vermon crossly. “Leomon isn't a brute Digimon. Why would you say that?”
“That's strange. I guess he was just over jealous when he punched me the other day,” Vermon stated. “But I don't blame him. Renamon is a catch indeed, even though I still don't know what she sees in him. No offense of course.” He then shrugged arrogantly.
“Why you-!” Gomamon snarled as Hasan held him back again.
“That's enough, Gomamon!” Hasan strictly scolded him.
“Leomon wouldn't attack anyone unless there was a reason for it,” Chris said protectively.
“Well, I don't know about that. But anyhow, let's just forget about it, hm? I didn't mean to offend anyone,” Vermon bowed to them politely. “Pardon me now, I must go to my room to rest. Being with someone energetic as Fairymon can be really tiring, but fun nonetheless. See you all later,” Vermon told them and headed for his room. He then made a stop at the bar table and faced Digitamamon.
“Oh, before I forget, I'll be leaving this town by tomorrow. So I'm gonna pay you in advance in case we never meet again,” Vermon said and threw a small bag of golden coins to him at the bar table as Digitamamon was stunned by the huge amount of cash. “I threw in a little extra, for all your troubles. Unless…” Vermon grinned and Digitamamon instantly got his meaning.
“N-No, sir! Th-Thank you…” Digitamamon didn't have any choice but to accept the money and continue to shut his mouth, at least till Vermon leaves. He didn't want to risk his life.
“Good then.” Vermon smiled and went upstairs to the room chambers.
“What an ass! I don't know about you guys, but I just hate him!” Terriermon grumbled.
“Hmmm, he seems nice enough,” Ben said.
“Bah, he's just acting nice to fool you all!” Terriermon exclaimed.
“I'm with Terriermon! I don't like him one bit!” Gomamon agreed. “Don't listen to what he said, Gazimon. He's just bluffing,” Gomamon then said to his gray friend, who looked bothered by what Vermon said.
“Gomamon is right. Just ignore him. But, I wonder what happened between him and Leomon,” Chris then wondered.
“Yeah… oh well, let's get back to the book. Will you help us, Digitamamon?” Hasan then asked.
“Uhhh… I'm terribly sorry, but I can't right… excuse me, I'm very busy,” Digitamamon apologized to them and shortly went off to attend his bar as Digimon began to crowd the place.
“What happened to him? He's acting really strange,” Ben said with an odd expression.
“Damn, this means we have to find another Digimon who can read this book,” Hasan exclaimed.
“Why don't we check Black's library? Maybe we'll find something useful that can help us,” Chris then suggested.
“Yeah, that's a good idea! C'mon, let's go!” Terriermon excitedly said.
“Are you coming with us, Gazimon?” Gomamon then asked him.
“Nah, I'll hang out here for a bit. Don't feel like going anywhere,” Gazimon replied.
“If you say so, but do try to cheer up a bit, k?” Chris petted his head.
“I will. Good luck in your search.”
“Thanks. Take care.” Hasan bid him farewell and left the pub with the others, heading straight to BlackWarGreymon's mansion soon after.
####################################
A while later, Renamon was at Angewomon's house after coming back from the real world and visiting Mike and was having a little girl-chat with Angewomon.
“Oh, he was the cutest thing! You should see how that little boy brightens Leomon's face and makes him happy,” Renamon was telling Angewomon about Leomon's human friend.
“That's so sweet. No wonder he's attached to him so much.” Angewomon smiled. “I'm also happy for you both, Leomon made the right decision.”
“Yes, finally. I've been waiting for him for more than a year, but that doesn't matter. He came back to me and gonna settle at last,” Renamon said in joy, before she began to giggle.
“What is it?”
“Last night, Leomon and I did something… different,” Renamon told her while blushing slightly.
“Oh! Now this is interesting! Out with the details.” Angewomon got quite intrigued and got closer to Renamon at the table, as she liked sex talk.
“Well… for starters…” Renamon began to say, when Fairymon entered all of the sudden with a girlish squeal.
“Oh my! He's the greatest thing that has ever happened to me!” Fairymon exclaimed happily as she barged in the living room and startled Angewomon and Renamon.
“Dear lord… There's something called 'saying hello first', Fairymon,” Angewomon said after collecting herself.
“Whoops! Sorry about that, but I'm so excited!” Fairymon eagerly replied.
“What could get you this caught up?” Renamon asked. Fairymon sat with them around the table and started to tell them.
“It's Vermon! We just had breakfast together and he asked me out for dinner tonight! Damn, he's so wonderful! He's very polite, truly elegant and so sweet I could just eat him up! I think this is turning into something serious.”
“Uhmm, well, I don't know what to say exactly, we barely know him. But I'm glad to see you this happy,” Angewomon said to her dear friend with a smile.
“Thanks Angie! You'll get to know him better soon enough. What about you Renamon?” Fairymon retorted and then switched to her furry friend. Renamon was kind of skeptical about this. How could Vermon try to get close to Fairymon this fast after all the things he'd done? He even confessed that he loved Renamon after many approaches. She wasn't feeling jealous or anything like that. She was just concerned. Was he just making all that up just so that he could get intimate with her? Renamon didn't want to believe that. She trusted Vermon and saw him as a very good friend. Maybe he finally understood that he and Renamon couldn't be lovers and was trying his luck with Fairymon, which what she was hoping for.
“Something wrong, Renamon?” Fairymon called out to Renamon when she her silent and deeply in thoughts.
“Huh? Oh, it's nothing really. I hope that… it works out well between you two,” Renamon answered. After seeing Fairymon this content with her relation with Vermon, she didn't want to reveal to her about anything that had happened between her and that silver wolf and put a damper in her enthusiasm in the process. She just wished that Vermon was what she believed he was and wouldn't try to hurt Fairymon.
“Uh-huh, me too! I have to thank you for bringing him to this town, Renamon. Thank you so much!” Fairymon then hugged Renamon nicely.
“Uhm, you don't have to thank me for anything,” Renamon coyly retorted.
“You're just being modest,” Fairymon giggled as she broke the hug. “Oh yeah, did I interrupt anything between you two when I stormed in?” she then remembered.
“That's right! We were just about to dive in a steamy sex talk about what Renamon did last night with her dear lion,” Angewomon smirked.
“Oh, I'm just in time then! Come on, come on, foxy, don't spare us!” Fairymon urged the kitsune fox to tell them everything.
“Okay, okay, don't rush me.” Renamon blushed and they commenced in all the details from start to finish.
#########################
Meanwhile, at BlackWarGreymon's mansion…
“You punched him?!” BlackWarGreymon blinked surprisingly when Leomon told him about his encounter with Vermon at the pub the other day; both of them were at the main hall at the time.
“Right on the muzzle.”
“Damn… and I missed the whole thing,” BlackWarGreymon said disappointedly.
“I'm not very proud about it after I promised Renamon that I won't cross that wolf, but I gotta admit, it felt really good.” Leomon said with a small, satisfied grin.
“Hey, you did the right thing. About time someone taught that arrogant moron a lesson, he gotta know his limits and not mess with anyone's girl. Why, if he ever tries to come on to my Angie, I'll rip him to chunks and make shish kabob outta him!” BlackWarGreymon exclaimed spitefully.
“True. Good thing I was the one who did,” Leomon grinned.
“You dirty lucky bastard!” BlackWarGreymon bantered as he held Leomon in a friendly chokehold. “Hey, those guys were in the library for hours. Wonder what they're up to. Let's go see,” BlackWarGreymon then said and Leomon agreed as they both headed upstairs to the library.
###################################
“Any luck you two?” Ben asked as he was checking a bookshelf.
“Nope,” Chris answered from the other side.
“Nothing here either, but let's keep trying,” Hasan called out from a shelf farther away. He then happened to notice that Terriermon and Gomamon were absent and didn't see them around. He quickly presumed where they were and went over to the lemon section. Surely enough, he found the two of them, each reading a lemon book. Hasan rolled his eyes and sneaked right over to them so they wouldn't sense him.
“Boy, this is really some good stuff.”
“You said it buddy.” Gomamon and Terriermon were mumbling to each other before they each received a poke in the head.
“Ow!” they both griped at the same time.
“This isn't the time for some porn reading, you little perverts,” Hasan scolded them and they dangled their heads in shame and returned the books back to their places.
“Hey! I think I found something here!” Ben then yelled out and they all rushed to him.
“What is it?” Chris asked promptly.
“I found this, it looks like a dictionary that can translate Digimon symbols.” Ben showed them a little book that he uncovered.
“All right! This is exactly the thing we need to translate this damn old book,” Hasan exclaimed.
“What damn old book?” BlackWarGreymon then appeared next to them from out of nowhere and, like always, scared the crap out of them.
“Goddammit! Why do you always do this to us!?” Chris gasped.
“Hehe, because I like to see your funny reaction,” BlackWarGreymon laughed.
“This getting really old, Black. You better come up with something new to entertain yourself or people will think you're desperate,” Hasan shook his head.
“Na-uh, I dun' think so, my little twerps,” BlackWarGreymon waved his finger. “You've been here for an awful long while, what're you rascals scheming?” BlackWarGreymon then demanded.
“Errr… nothing special. Just wandering around looking for some books here and there.” Ben tried to explain.
“Yeah, right. And I ain't no Digimon, but I play one in real life,” BlackWarGreymon sneered. “Come on, you better come up with something better than that. I wasn't born yesterday.”
“Darn, you got us, Black. We were trying to surprise you with…” Chris trailed off as he luckily glimpsed a cookbook nearby. “… this new cookbook we've found. New delicious dishes you haven't had the pleasure to try yet, straight from the real world.” Chris snatched the cookbook and showed it to the black Mega.
“Oh sweet! This is fantastic! It's almost lunchtime too.” BlackWarGreymon immediately bought it.
“Hey, we don't have time for this!” Hasan whispered to Chris.
“Got anything better? One of us has to stay and translate Vermon's page, while the rest… whoa!” Chris was whispering back before BlackWarGreymon picked him up along with Hasan.
“Alrighty then, let's get right to it. The talented Chef Blackey can't do it without his two assistants, right?” BlackWarGreymon beamed as he carried them up in each hand. “Off to the kitchen!”
“We're counting on ya, Ben and Terriermon! Heeey! Wait for me!” Gomamon told them and followed BlackWarGreymon. Leomon was quiet the whole time, simply shrugging as he followed them as well.
“Uhhh, us?” Terriermon gulped.
“Seems so, Terr. Well, they're all depending on us, so let's give it our best,” Ben encouraged his partner.
“Yup! We've been through worse cases! We can easily tackle this problem!” Terriermon cheerfully said and hopped up on Ben shoulders. “Errr, but, how are we gonna do that?” Terriermon then uttered blandly as Ben sweatdropped.
###############################
Later on, Renamon was heading back home after her break with Angewomon and Fairymon. She was still thinking about what Fairymon said, how she and Vermon were going out now.
“I sure hope things will turn out well between them,” Renamon said to herself. “But, what am I so worried about? Vermon doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that would hurt anyone...”
“Hello, my beautiful vixen.” Vermon suddenly appeared behind her and greeted her.
“Vermon! Oh dear, you startled me!” Renamon gasped as she turned around.
“I'm sorry, didn't mean to,” He apologized.
“Oh, it's okay.”
“I saw that you were kinda lost in thoughts there.”
“Oh, yes, I was thinking about something…”
“About me, I hope,” Vermon said with a smirk as Renamon blinked. Did he know or was it a lucky guess? “Pardon me, no need for you to answer that. So, how are you doing?”
“Uhm, I'm doing fine,” Renamon replied.
“Good to hear. I'm doing good too, but I must say that I've really… missed you,” Vermon said with a gentle smile.
“Oh… well, I…” Renamon stammered.
“Would you take a walk with me, Renamon? I want to a have a talk to you, please,” Vermon then directly asked of her.
Renamon hesitated at first, but eventually accepted. “Okay, sure.”
“Thanks. How about we have a drink or something first? But not around here, I don't think that your… 'boyfriend', would like to see us together,” Vermon then said with a faint grin.
“Hm? Did something happen between you and Leomon?” Renamon asked in concern.
“No, not at all. I just presumed that he might get, you know, jealous.”
“I see. Let's go to my house then, I'll make some coffee,” Renamon told him and Vermon nodded in acceptance. She forgot about what happened last time she invited him to her house and she believed that he wouldn't dare and try to hit on her again, so she wasn't worried to ask him to her home.
They arrived at her house two minutes later and she invited him in. He made himself at home while she went to the kitchen to make coffee. She returned a little while later with two cups and some cookies and sat down at the sofa next to him.
“Oh, very nice. I like cookies,” Vermon said in delight and took one from the tray. “Mmm, very tasty. I can tell they're homemade,” he exclaimed as he took another one.
“Thank you.” Renamon smiled. “Well, what did you want to talk to me about?” she then went straight to the matter.
“Ah, yes. I wanted to say goodbye.”
“Good… bye?”
“Yeah. I'm leaving, maybe by tomorrow.”
“But… why this soon? I mean… you and… Fairymon.”
Vermon ears perked up. “How did you know?”
“She told me. She likes you very much, Vermon, maybe even more than that. She'll be really sad if you'd leave,” Renamon told him cordially.
“Oh. That'd be a real shame, I really like her too. But…”
“But?”
“Not as much as you.” He stunned her. “If there's one thing that would make me not leave, it would be you,” he said to her softly as he held one of her paws.
“Vermon… please, I think I made myself clear. I can't… and beside, you're going out with Fairymon now,” Renamon said as she pulled her paw away.
“Even so, that won't change the way that I feel about you,” Vermon said and moved closer to her, as if he was trying to get a kiss from her, but Renamon pulled herself away.
“I'm sorry, but I want you to leave right now,” she then told him strictly as she stood up.
Vermon let out a disappointed sigh. “Very well. I'm truly sorry about that, I just wanted to bid you a good farewell. But looks like I screwed up.” Vermon stood up as well and headed for the door. “So long, Renamon, my beautiful vixen.” He smiled at her and left right away, leaving Renamon in a really confused state. Is he really what he poses to be? She didn't want to think he's fooling around with her and Fairymon, but that was what it seemed. She believed that it would be better if he left town for good, it would make things less complicated, even if it would hurt Fairymon.
“Poor Fairymon…” Renamon sadly whispered, feeling sorry for her friend.
##################################
“Fuck… almost had her. She's not as easy as I thought. Damn…” Vermon cursed when he got out of Renamon's house. “No one to blame but that idiot Leomon. Oh, how I want to blow his damn head off. Hmmm, maybe I will… Tsk, no, I can't. He isn't a virus, I can't kill a non-virus type for that kind of reason,” Vermon thought to himself. He hated to lose a girl he likes to another male, he considered that a challenge. And he never turned down those kinds of challenges.
“Oh well, you can't win them all, like they always say. At least I got a nice kiss from her. And a few painful shots won't kill that big cat, I guess.” Vermon then smirked to himself, not forgetting that he had to make Leomon pay for that insult.
“Now, to the most important deal here. How to kill a mega leveled virus?” Vermon began to think. With all the things that had happened, he almost forgot about his main goal, and he wasn't about to give up on it. “Ah, why bother with it right now? Still plenty of time for me, and I have a big date tonight. Better get ready for it, Vermon,” the coat-wearing wolf said to himself in confidence, planing for a special event for tonight.
###############################
Later that nigh at the real world, in Ben's room…
Ben was very involved in trying to translate Vermon's page after finding his picture within the info book pages. It wasn't that hard of a task, as all he had to do was to change the symbols into Latin letters and it was slowly clearing out to him little by little. Terriermon got bored fast and was asleep on the edge of Ben's bed.
“All right! Finally done!” Ben hollered happily after he's finished and surprised Terriermon, making him drop off of the bed.
“Ouch!” Terriermon yelped as he bumped his head on floor. “What? What!?” he then quickly bounced back on his feet and jumped onto Ben's desk.
“Holy crap! This is big!” Ben then gasped when he fully read his translation. “We have to warn everyone!” Ben rushed to his PC and turned it on.
“Hey, don't keep me hanging here in suspense! TELL ME!!!” whined Terriermon.
“Dammit! It won't connect!” Ben then angered as his PC refused to connect to the Internet. “Work, you worthless piece of junk! WORK!”
“What's the hell going on!?” Terriermon demanded.
“Vermon isn't just a normal Digimon! He's a virus-type hunter and will kill any, and I mean any Virus Digimon, good or bad!” Ben told his little panicky partner.
“Oh my HECK! They’re in big time danger!” Terriermon gasped. “Come on, we have to go there and tell everybody about that mass murderer!” Terriermon then panicked.
“I'm trying to, but this damn thing just won't work!”
“What!? Oh no!” Terriermon cried in despair and made Ben join him in his panicking.
“What are we gonna do!?” they both shouted together as they had no idea of how to get to the Digital World except from this PC.
##################################
Meanwhile, in the Digital World…
“Thanks for the nice dinner, Vermon,” Fairymon thanked him as he walked her back to her place after they had dinner together.
“Don't mention it,” Vermon replied with a hand wave. “It was great having as date,” he added and made her blush a bit, but then she noticed something wrong in what he just said.
“'Was'? What do you mean?” she worriedly asked him. Vermon paused for a bit, blaming himself for that stupid tongue slip.
“Uhm, well, yeah. I was planing to tell you this…” he started to say. “I'm going to leave this town.”
“You're… leaving?” she asked and he nodded. “When?”
“Probably by tomorrow,” he answered her.
“Oh…” Fairymon uttered in a sad voice.
“I'm sorry,” Vermon said and moved closer to her, leaning his face to hers.
“What are you doing?” she stopped him suddenly.
“Oh, I was hoping for a kiss.”
“I don't think so,” Fairymon sternly retorted and backed away, turning around and walking into her house. “Have a nice trip,” she simply exclaimed and slammed the door on his face. Vermon was quite stunned, blinking for a few times.
“Damn, two girls in a row, and in the same day. You're losing you're touch, you dumb wolf,” Vermon mocked himself, shaking his head in distress. But he wasn't willing to give up just yet.
####################################
“What was I thinking?” Fairymon frowned after entering her house. “He just wanted to be entertained while he's here, and I was fool enough to think that he… geez,” she sighed. She was really hoping that Vermon would be her one and only, and now that hope got shattered into tiny pieces. She was getting depressed and she hated when this happens.
“Come on, Fairymon, it's not the end of the world! He was great and all, but he's not the only one in the Digital World. There's bound to be someone out there, just waiting for me.” Fairymon then tried to cheer herself up. “Oh, who am I fooling? I so wanted him to be the one…” she failed and got depressed again.
“Oh well, nothing better to do than to stuff myself with some treats to get my mind off him.” Fairymon decided to give it a rest and try to enjoy herself with some sweets and snacks before calling it a night.
#################################
Just at that exact time, inside Fairymon's kitchen…
“Easy does it…” Vermon was trying to sneak into Fairymon's house through the kitchen’s window to surprise her and try fixing it up with her. He opened the window as quietly as possible, and then went through it, landing one of his feet on the floor. When he tried to pull his other leg, his long coat got stuck by the edge of the window and when he tried tugging it to free himself, he tripped and fell on his face, right on the marble kitchen floor.
“Owww… Shit! Sometimes I hate this damn outfit so…” He grumbled as he sat up while rubbing his aching snout, but he then sensed that someone was coming his way. “Oh, crap!” he panicked a bit and looked around for a way to hide.
“Hm? That's strange, I was almost sure that I heard something here,” Fairymon said as she entered into the kitchen and found it completely empty from anyone. She took a good look around it to make sure and still nothing to find. She finally gave up and pictured that she just imagined it. Unbeknownst to her, is that Vermon was hanging on her kitchen’s roof, gripping by the wooden beams that the supported it and even preventing himself from breathing so that she won’t sense him. Fairymon shrugged to herself in the end and was going back to where she came from.
“Hello.” She heard Vermon’s voice speak right behind her and she quickly turned around, gasping loudly as she found him facing her upside-down, dangling himself from the roof while his feet was hooked by the wooden beams.
“Vermon!? What the hell are you doing here!?” Fairymon spitted out demandingly, but Vermon simply smiled and answered her by pulling her closer and kissing her while still in that awkward position. Fairymon eyes became wide by this surprising move; and even though he forced her into it at first, she was gradually returning the extraordinary kiss. It lasted for about 15 seconds before the sliver wolf broke it and she pulled herself away from him.
“Sorry if I’ve surprised you, but I didn’t want our goodbye to end like that,” Vermon said, still upturned.
“Well, I… Uhmm, will you come down first?” Fairymon asked him, not feeling easy talking to him in that fashion.
“Oh, certainly.” The wolf nodded and pulled himself up. He then tried to flip around and land on his feet, but he lost his balance in mid-air and clumsily fell down to the floor, head first. “Owww… damn…”
“Oh dear! Are you okay?” Fairymon crouched down to him and helped him up.
“Yeah… boy, lady luck sure isn’t smiling at me today,” Vermon replied, a shameful smile appearing on him.
“You should stop being a show-off all the time,” Fairymon then said with a little giggle.
“Hehe, true,” He chuckled. “Well, can we talk about this?” he asked her gently but her expression changed into a strict one.
“I don’t think there’s anything to talk about,” she stated with a serious glare. “And I would really appreciate it if you’d just leave right away, and never sneak back into my house again.” She simply asked him to leave as she led him out of the kitchen.
“What if I refused?” Vermon bluntly retorted and stunned her.
“What?”
“Listen Fairymon, I know that you might be hurt because of my sudden departure and that you thought that I was just fooling around with you, but that wasn’t the case,” Vermon explained.
“What was the case then, huh?!” Fairymon cut him off sharply. “If that wasn’t your intention, then what? What do you expect me to think? How do you expect me to feel? All that time we’ve spent together, it all led me to think that you actually cared for me… but then you come and say that you’re leaving. God, what the hell do you want me to think after knowing something like that!?” she yelled at him and vented out what was in her chest. Vermon was practically speechless, everything that she had revealed was quite true and he felt bad about himself. He actually felt bad and remorse for hurting Fairymon’s feelings and not taking her for granted. He never did feel that way towards anyone before and that made it even worse for him as he didn’t have any idea of what he should do.
“I… I’m sorry…” was the only thing he could come up with, though it was sincere. He didn’t have the courage to look her in the eyes and simply lowered his sight down. Fairymon felt that, she felt that he was truly sorry and didn’t truly mean harming her in any way. Even if she was very upset about his ignorant decision, she can’t deny that she had feelings for him, maybe even loved him. She felt kind of guilty for being too harsh on him, regardless of how much he deserved it. And beside that, she felt that she shouldn’t have judged him, maybe he had his reasons. She still didn’t know much about him, not that it was important at the time.
They both kept silence like that for about a minute, Vermon’s eyes set on the floor like he was waiting for anything to happen while Fairymon was just staring at him. Vermon thought that he’d waited long enough and he should be going by now, so he turned around and started to walk away towards the front door.
“Wait,” Fairymon suddenly called out to him. Vermon’s dangled ears perked up in response when he heard that, like he was hoping for it. He slowly turned around and faced her again, noticing that her expression didn’t change. “Not the front door. Use the window.” Fairymon pointed out to him to go back to where he came from with her thumb. Vermon was extremely dumbfounded and didn’t expect that she’d be this harsh.
“Oh… of course,” he simply uttered while trying his best to keep a straight face and changed his direction. Just when he was about to pass by Fairymon, she let out a suppressed laugh and stunned the confused wolf.
“Vermon, you silly! I can’t believe you actually fell for that!” she started to giggle.
“Wha… you mean you’re…?” Vermon blinked.
“Of course I was kidding! I was just messing with you. You’re so gullible, you know that?” Fairymon said after she finished laughing.
“My, you sure fooled me,” Vermon retorted while wiping his sweat, seemingly relieved of this outcome, even if it was quite a nerve-wrack. “So, what does this mean?” he then asked and Fairymon neared him till she was close enough to place her hands on both sides of his cheeks.
“It means this…” she softly said and lowered his face down a bit to lock him into a soft kiss. Vermon was very glad by that answer and put his arms around her, pulling her closer to properly return the soft kiss and developing it into a deeper one. They were standing next to the empty table, so Vermon easily leaned her onto it while still kissing her and they started making out, trading passionate kisses and nuzzles with each other. Fairymon was getting turned on and uncontrollably found herself undressing him in the midst of this intimate moment, pulling away his coat and making it fall off him to the floor. Vermon liked that a lot and indicated to him that she was actually willing for more.
Vermon’s muzzle slid down to her smooth neck and nuzzled it fondly, the tingling feeling forcing Fairymon to moan gently while hugging him closely. His hands didn’t waste time and began to move around her sexy body, resting one of them at her thigh and rubbing it cordially. Her outfit was fairly revealing, so he didn’t find much trouble arousing her, as his other hand was fondling one of her covered breasts. Fairymon started to whimper intensely, growing on more when he reached down to her inner thighs. His fingers were teasingly rubbing her crotch, getting it wet after succeeding in turning her on fully. Fairymon tightened her hug on him and gripped on his black shirt, wanting him to take it off. Vermon stopped his treatments and looked down at her with a grin. Doing it on the table wasn’t an appropriate idea, so he picked her up in his arms and went over to the closest comfortable place, which was the long sofa she had in the living room.
He rested her on top of the cushioned couch and got off of her for a moment, taking off his shirt at last and motioning for her to do the same. Fairymon gladly nodded and started to undress herself, which didn’t take her long. Vermon smiled warmly after seeing her completely naked and admired her for few seconds, perfectly and beautifully figured, just begging to be taken. He embraced her again and returned to their passionate kissing, his furry bare chest rubbing against her nicely soft one. They kept kissing and caressing each other’s body, Fairymon loving the feeling of his strong muscles hiding under that sliver fur. Vermon’s hands found their way back to her lower body, resting firmly under her buttocks. He gave her ass a quick squeeze and she jumped with a start, looking up at him as he returned with sly grin and continued to squeeze her soft butt-cheeks. A small smile spread on Fairymon’s face as she enjoyed the feeling of his hands fondling her. She lifted her face over to his and lapped her tongue from his neck, to his cheek and then up to his ear, playfully chewing on it. Vermon hummed in delight as his tongue reached down to her shoulder and then dragged it down to her breasts, his hot breath hitting against her delicate skin. A gasp escaped Fairymon as Vermon gave her nipples quick licks while his hands kept on feeling her ass.
Vermon leaned himself up again and they looked at each other, Fairymon smiling. He saw the content on her face and leaned his muzzle on her lips, kissing it passionately and rubbing his tongue against hers. He traced one hand down on her chest and belly, finally resting between her legs.
“Vermon…” Fairymon whispered in a whimpered tone, gazing at his red eyes. He smiled and nuzzled her cheek, rubbing two of his fingers up and down her slit. He traveled his tongue down to her neck and pushed his fingers harder against her pussy. They slid in slowly at first, making Fairymon moan with anticipation. Vermon paused after getting the first knuckle in, then began thrusting his fingers in and out of her swollen hole. Fairymon whimpered, feeling his fingers curl and rub against her clit. Vermon reached up with his other hand and squeezed Fairymon’s breast as he continually fingered her soft cunt.
He left her upper body with one last kiss before positioning himself between Fairymon’s legs. He lifted them onto his back while still managing to keep both fingers still pumping in and out of her. Vermon gave the hood of Fairymon’s clit a long lick as he slowly pulled his fingers out. Fairymon’s groans of displeasure were replaced with whimpers of joy as she felt his rough tongue replace his fingers. Vermon lapped hungrily at the insides of Fairymon’s pussy while her hands latched onto his head. She cried out with every quick thrust he made with his tongue and shuddered violently when he gave her clit a long suck. Fairymon was gasping for air as she felt Vermon’s tongue go deep inside of her pussy. He circled his tongue around the upper part, stopping now and then for a lick or two for her clit, while one of his fingers gave attention to the lower portion. Fairymon’s moans increased as she felt him give continuous suction to her clit while his fingers wriggled inside of her.
Fairymon finally cried out and lifted her buttocks off the couch. Vermon’s mouth and part of his face was almost immediately drenched in her juices. He smiled to himself and happily lapped her cum off his muzzle. He gave her cunt a small kiss before crawling on top of her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, kissing her lips. She hummed in the lip-lock as her hands rubbed along Vermon’s sides. He smiled at her and grabbed one of her hands softly. He lowered it and placed it on his covered crotch, rubbing her hand against it lightly. She nodded slightly and gripped it tighter, rubbing him in her palm. Vermon rewarded Fairymon’s actions with low growls as he lifted himself to his knees. Fairymon sat up too and helped undressing his pants, freeing his semi-erected member. She continued to rub his pouch as she leaned down and trailed her tongue up his balls. Vermon’s half-closed his eyes as he slowly erected into Fairymon’s hands. The fairy Digimon smiled at the warm member she was now stroking and quickly dragged her tongue across the underside of it. Vermon moaned at the feel and rubbed Fairymon’s head as she continued to make him harder and longer.
Fairymon stopped for a moment to admire Vermon’s long, hard member, before wrapping her lips around the head and pushing as much of his meat as she could into her mouth. Vermon gasped with pleasure as Fairymon slid his member out of her mouth then back in. She rubbed her hands up and down the shaft for a moment while her tongue concentrated on the head. Vermon’s moans grew as he braced one of his hands on Fairymon’s shoulders. She easily took his large member back into her mouth, sucking it softly as her tongue played against the underside of it. She slowed down and took in only a little at a time, making Vermon exhale loudly and forcefully.
Vermon growled, gripping her shoulder tighter. Fairymon increased her speed slightly with every thrust, pulling Vermon closer and closer to the pinnacle of delectation. She grasped the base of his throbbing cock and moved a little faster. She ran her soft tongue over every part of his cock as he returned with growls and moans of increasing bliss. He rubbed her head harder as Fairymon moved her head up and down his shaft. Vermon moaned louder as he thrust his hard-on deeper into the fairy’s mouth. Right as he felt as if he would burst in her mouth, she pulled away quickly and grinned as he choked, bending forward slightly. He saw her smirk and returned it as she embraced and kissed him.
“Why did you stop?” He chuckled.
“You'll see...” Fairymon slowly pushed Vermon to his back as she kissed his neck and chest softly. Vermon groaned softly as he felt Fairymon’s wet slit rub against the head of his hard erection. He grasped her hips and slowly pulled her down, entering her tight, wet chasm. The two Digimon let out groans and other sounds of pleasure as Vermon slowly edged his member into Fairymon’s stretched hole. As his hips briefly connected with hers, Vermon sharply pulled out of Fairymon before slamming back into her and starting the harsh rhythm. Fairymon braced her hands on Vermon’s chest and moaned as she lifted her hips as best she could under the effects of constant and overwhelming pleasure being given to her. She cried out as she felt Vermon’s hips slap against her ass every time he thrust into her. Vermon sat up and lifted Fairymon’s thighs, pumping into her harder as she hung off of his shoulders. He leaned over and clenched his eyes, hugging her tightly. His hands reached down and grasped her ass as he pounded faster into her. After what seemed like two long lustful minutes, Fairymon could hold back no longer as Vermon thrust the entire length of his cock into her tight hole. She clutched her hands on the fur on his chest and screamed out heartily, flooding all over Vermon’s shaft while still clinching on his dick. All that pressure around his meat forced the wolf to howl in bliss and cum at the same time at last, the room filling with their cries of pleasure as they cummed against each other.
The climax finally passed and Fairymon lied against the silver wolf’s chest, her eyes closed and her fingers playing with Vermon’s chest fur while he was resting his back on the sofa. She glanced up at Vermon and he looked down at her as they smiled, sharing a brief kiss. Fairymon sighed and rested on him again.
“Uhm, hey… I’m curious…” Vermon then started.
“Hm?” Fairymon blinked and looked at him
“Was I… as good you’ve imagined?” he asked. Fairymon smiled and then gave him a tap on his snout with a finger.
“Well, I suppose.” She smirked. “I can say that you were even better,” she added and gave him a soft kiss on his muzzle. An apparent smirk of superiority appeared on his face.
“I bet I’m you’re best ever, too.”
“Oh, don’t get cocky now!” they both had a good laugh together before returning to cuddle each other on the sofa for the rest of the night, savoring this sweet moment as they both knew it won’t last for long.
#####################################
Another snowy morning at the Digitial World, and Chris visited it to check on his Digi-friends. He was wandering around the town and was heading for Renamon’s house to see his partner, certain that he’d find him there at that hour. He surely did as soon as he reached the medium-built house that was residing at the center of the town, apparently busy with plowing away all the thick pile of snow that was covering the front yard. He also happened to notice that Hasan and Gomamon were present as well, spending time by making what seemed to be a snowman.
“Hi ya’ll,” Chris greeted them as he arrived.
“Oh, hello Chris,” Leomon replied, digging his shovel into the snow to look back at his partner.
“Already doing house chores, eh?” Chris remarked with a smile and Leomon nodded back at him with a pleased face. “Where’s Renamon?” Chris then inquired.
“She’s inside, not sure what she’s doing,” Leomon answered with a light shrug. Chris tilted his in wonder, before leaving Leomon to carry on his work and walked over to where the others were.
“Hey there, buddy. Nice day for some snow fun, huh?” Hasan cheerfully said when he saw him.
“Yeah! Look’ee here, we’re building a snowmon,” Gomamon exclaimed as he was putting more snow to one of their snowman’s feet.
“And what’s that supposed to be?” Chris asked curiously, finding the snowy statue familiar.
“Isn’t it obvious? It’s a Frigimon,” Gomamon replied.
“It is? I thought we were just making a regular snowman.” Hasan scratched his cheek while examining their work.
“What’s the fun in making a lame-o-snowman?”
“Uhm, yeah… anyhow, have you seen Ben?” Chris then asked Hasan.
“Not since yesterday, no. I was hoping that you might have heard anything of him.” Hasan shook his head.
“No, I haven’t. This is really strange; haven’t got any contact with him ever since he went back home with Terriermon to translate that book.”
“Really? That’s not a good sign. Hope they’re both okay.”
“Okay everyone, who’s up for some treats? I made some tasty riceballs!” Renamon suddenly opened a window near them and called out, carrying a plate of homemade riceballs.
“Me, me!” Gomamon excitedly yelled and ran up to her for a piece.
“And not a moment too soon.” Hasan smiled.
“Oh, hi Chris. Wanna try some?” Renamon kindly handed a riceball to him.
“Sure, I haven’t had breakfast yet. Thanks, Renamon,” Chris gladly accepted. “Mmm, it’s very good!”
“Aw, thank you. Oh, sweetie! Come over here, I made this just for you.” Renamon then waved for Leomon to join them.
“What’s this?” Leomon asked with a questioned look as he picked a riceball in his hand. He never did saw one before.
“It’s a riceball, Leomon. It’s some kind of Japanese treat made of boiled rice and stuffed with some other good stuff. It’s very delicious,” Hasan stated. Leomon took one more look at it and then took it into his mouth, chewing on the riceball for a bit before gulping it. Sure enough, he loved it very much, as he took a couple more in his hands and ate them in delight.
“Wow, that’s some appetite!” Hasan said surprisingly when he saw that Leomon liked the riceballs more than he’d anticipated.
“That’s my hungry lion,” Renamon chirped proudly. “Oh, what about that thing I told you about last night?” she then asked Leomon all of the sudden.
“Hm? What thing?” he blandly asked back after devouring the riceballs.
“Aww, you forgot! You promised me you’re gonna sleep on it!” Renamon said disappointedly. Leomon took a few moments to think and it finally hit him.
“Oh… well…”
“Well?”
“I still don’t think it’s a good idea…” Leomon answered warily.
“But why not!?” Renamon cried.
“Uhhh, hello? You do realize that we’re here, right?” Hasan reminded them.
“Yeah, what’s up?” Chris inquired.
“The matter is, I want to train myself to become stronger and I want Leomon to be my trainer, but he doesn’t want to!” Renamon explained, frowning at the end.
“Eh? And why not?” Gomamon wondered.
“Ask him!” she said while pointing her finger at Leomon and they switched to the lionman.
“Look, I just don’t feel right about this…” Leomon coyly tried to justify.
“You said yourself that I have the potential, but I need to exploit it. I know I can be much better, and I can’t depend on you to protect me all the time.”
“I think it’s a good idea. Who knows what other evil forces that might threat us again? We need less wusses as possible… Ow!” Hasan joked but then got a thwack in the head from Renamon. “I was kidding! But seriously, you need to get stronger somehow.”
“I agree, and who’s better than you for this job? You two know each other the best,” Chris said in agreement.
“Exactly! See? This is what I was trying to tell you. Come on! Please?” Renamon pleaded.
“I’m not sure…” Leomon was still hesitating and when he stretched a hand for another riceball, Renamon pulled the plate out of his reach.
“Fine! If you still refuse, then no more riceballs for you, mister!” Renamon sternly told him and prohibited him from having any more. Leomon sighed and eventually had no choice but to accept.
“Oh boy… okay, okay. You win, I’ll be you’re trainer. But I’ll be really strict and won’t go easy on you, got it?”
“All right! Thank you, sweetie! You won’t regret it! Here you go,” Renamon exclaimed happily and then returned the riceballs to her new mentor. “I’ll make some more for you, wait just a sec,” she said and went back inside while Leomon continued to eat the yummy riceballs.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk... To be simply convinced by a mere treat.” Hasan scoffed.
“Never underestimate the power of food, especially for Digimon.” Chris remarked with a chuckle.
“I don’t blame him,” Gomamon said as he was licking his paw off after finishing the riceball. He was then surprised by a chilling jolt falling on his head. “Ack! What the big idea!?”
“Hehe, you shouldn’t be the one talking when it comes to food.” Hasan bantered, obviously the one who threw the snow on Gomamon.
“Oh yeah? Two can play that game!” Gomamon picked up a snowball and returned the favor to his partner, hitting him on his face.
“So, you wanna play this?” Hasan threw another one at Gomamon but he missed him as he ducked. Gomamon wanted to counter but he tossed a bit too far off and struck Chris instead.
“Hey! Now you asked for it,” Chris said and they started a little snow-fight, exchanging random snowballs at each other, but generally for fun.
“Come on, that’s enough you three. I just finished cleaning the-” Leomon was trying to stop them, but was hit by some of the snowballs, one smacking him right in the face and silencing him.
“Oops!” the three of them uttered at the same time. Leomon didn’t take that lightly and had a grin on his face when he brushed the snow off himself. He crouched down and made a big snowball larger than the size of a basketball.
“Hey, h-hold on Leomon, that was just an accident, really…!” Chris nervously tried to hold him off, but the lionman didn’t buy that and prepared to throw the huge snowball at them.
“Alright, I’m back with- Aaah!!!” Renamon returned just in time when Leomon chucked it, and since they were standing by the window, the huge ball of snow got Renamon instead when they ducked out if its way and directly smacked her on the face, knocking her off her feet and dropping the fresh riceballs she brought with her all over the floor. The others couldn’t do anything but gasp in terror.
“Ouhh… Who DID THIS!?!?” Renamon snarled with rage as she stood up again. They all cowardly covered behind Leomon; Gomamon pointing at the panicked lion from behind with his flipper.
“Boy are you gonna get it!” Gomamon snickered.
“Err, sorry dear…” Leomon apologized with a nervous beam.
“Don’t ‘dear’ me! What the hell were you doing!?” Renamon bellowed loudly and slammed her paws on the window’s frame, making them all jump a bit from the fright.
“Now, now, Renamon. Remember rule number 1; always have the utmost respect for your mentor,” Hasan wisely advised to calm her, but he failed as she phased out of the window for some punishment and was wearing a deadly glare.
“I have a better rule. When faced by an evident danger… RUN LIKE HELL!!!” Gomamon yelped and dashed away.
“I support that rule,” Chris quickly agreed and they imitated their mammal friend, escaping the wrath of the kitsune fox.
“Come back here!!”
Oh~kay… that was a nice ending… ^_^;;; err… thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it… I think… um… what next to say…? oh yeah! See ya in the next chapter, Digi-Believers! ^_^
