Red D-Arc Diaries

Entry 4 - The Love of Friendship

By: Lord Archive

The concept of Digimon, Digimon Tamers and most of the characters in this
work of fiction belongs to Toei Animation, Akiyoshi Hongo, and Chiaki
Konaka.

This series includes sex between fictional characters, who are not based on
real people. The characters involved may be stated as being under the age of
consent of where you live and perform acts of illegal sexual practices, but
they are fictional and do not have any real age or ability to commit real
crime. Descriptions of digimon mating and may be considered by some to be
bestiality, but they are fictional creations and not real animals. It should
be noted that in Japan the age of consent is 13 and that all human
characters in detailed sex scenes are at least that age or older, so even if
the characters did exist, they can legally consent to have sex.

Strict use of Japanese:
Matsuda Takato = Takato Matsuki
Makino Ruki = Rika Nonaka, Makino Rumiko = Makino Nonaka
Lee 'Jen' Jenrya = Henry Wong, Lee Shuichon = Suzie Wong
Juri = Jeri
Hirokazu = Kazu
Mako is the nickname for Makoto.
Growmon = Growlmon, Megalo Growmon = War Growlmon, Dukemon = Gallantmon
Galgomon = Gargomon, Saint Galgomon = Mega Gargomon
Reika = Riley, Megumi = Tailey

This is an alternate universe, so not everything is the same as the
television series, but it is very close to it.

------------------------------------------------

"The Tamers had a really bad day," Kai commented. "Juri gets her ass kicked
by Jenrya, while Takato got his handed to him by Brigton. Young love may be
brewing between Shuichon and Makoto, despite Lopmon's attempts to stop it.
And Kenta got attacked by a Black Maildramon only to learn his digimon now
has a lethal attack."

Kai then sighed. "Then there's Ruki. First there was Genji professing love
to her and making her work as an actress almost impossible by messing up his
line, repeatedly. Because of that she was late getting to a Digi-Battle
tournament. They let her in, but she was defeated by Ryo who then lost his
following match. Akiyama noticed that Ruki was upset at more than just the
tournament and followed her to try and help. Ruki told him just about
everything and then fucked him. She then watched as Millenniumon appeared
and killed Ryo in a jealous fit, stared as Ryo's corpse forced Millenniumon
to change into Justimon, and heard Ryo say good-bye to her as he can't truly
die unless his true partner, Millenniumon, dies too.

"On a scale of one to ten for bad days, Ruki just scored a twenty," Kai
tried to joke.

------------------------------------------------

The room looked too much like a classroom for most of the Tamers' tastes,
especially being there at eight o'clock in the morning. It was a rare
occasion that so many of them were gathered to be debriefed about anything.
Usually only Takato, Jenrya, Ruki, Ryo, their digimon and Impmon attended
these. This time, however, Ryo and Monodramon weren't there, but Hirokazu,
Kenta, Shuichon, their digimon and Juri were also in attendance.

Some of the Tamers and digimon were talking to each other, while others were
oddly quiet. Ruki glanced at the door and then shook her head only to look
again a minute later. Yamaki sat at the 'teacher's desk' with Brigton
standing just behind him and to the right.

"Attention," Brigton called out.

"Hey, where's Ryo?" Hirokazu questioned.

Yamaki frowned. "Akiyama Ryo has been declared legally dead."

"WHAT?!" chorused from most of the room.

"The news has reported there was a gas explosion in Odaiba. At twelve
hundred hours they will report that Akiyama's body was found in the crater,"
Yamaki informed.

"So what really happened?" Jenrya questioned.

Yamaki looked over at Makino.

Ruki closed her eyes as she stood up. "At eighteen hundred and twenty hours,
Ryo and I were attacked by his digimon. In order to stop him, Ryo forced
evolution to Justimon and then opened a portal to another dimension and
left."

"Did Monodramon get possessed by whoever is behind the Dramon attacks?"
Jenrya asked.

Ruki blinked and wanted to kick herself. If she had thought of that, she
could've told Yamaki that instead of what really happened.

"No," Yamaki intoned.

"You were getting close to Ryo and the Millenniumon half of Cyber Dramon got
jealous?" Takato questioned, half-joking and half-serious.

"You could say that," Ruki replied tersely.

"You mean Ryo wasn't joking about being the SAME Ryo from those games?"
Hirokazu asked in surprise.

"I didn't believe it until I saw Millenniumon attack us," Ruki answered.

"What did you do to make Millenniumon attack you?" Jenrya questioned.

"That is none of your business," Ruki replied.

Juri stared, suspecting Ruki's statement meant something very similar to her
own use of it during the past week. "Will he ever come back?" she
questioned.

"I doubt it," Ruki answered. "If he could ever come back, he'd have returned
shortly after he left even if it had been years for him."

A minute passed in complete silence.

"Is there any other questions concerning Akiyama and Millenniumon?" Yamaki
asked passively.

With no reply, Brigton called out, "We'll move on to the Dramon attack at
approximately seventeen hundred thirty hours yesterday."

Kenta stood up unsteadily. "I was attacked by a Black Maildramon. He was
killed by Marine Angemon using his Happy Smile attack."

"How did Black Maildramon refer to you?" Yamaki questioned.

"Something about being the friend of the blasphemer, I think," Kenta replied
nervously.

"So the Dramon are after us primary Tamers?" Jenrya guessed.

"Maybe Millenniumon sent them after Ruki," Hirokazu commented.

"The attacks occurred before Ruki had... upset him," Renamon retorted.

"No," Yamaki replied. "It appears the Dramon will try to kill anyone in this
room, including me. However, their true targets are Matsuda and Guilmon."

There were a few gasps of surprise at that announcement.

Takato stood up. "Last Sunday at eleven hundred hours I was attacked by a
Giga Dramon. I was able to get some information from him before he deleted.
He told me that Guilmon and I were their true targets. The rest of you are
'guilty' of being my friends."

"No wonder you've been avoiding all of us," Hirokazu mentioned.

Juri frowned.

"When were you guys going to let us know about that?" Ruki demanded.

"Knowing that Matsuda and Guilmon are the Dramon's true target doesn't
negate the threat the Dramon pose to the rest of us," Yamaki replied.

"And what would happen if Takato and Guilmon were dead?" Ruki asked.

"The Dramon attacks might stop," Jenrya replied in a serious tone.

Takato looked at Guilmon who frowned, but nodded in agreement.

Juri noticed and shot up to her feet. "Don't you dare even consider it!"

Almost everyone turned to look at Juri in surprise, Takato especially.

Shuichon blinked. "Consider what?"

"Letting themselves be killed to keep us safe," Renamon replied.

Takato looked away from Juri and said, "It may be the only way to stop these
attacks."

"We don't know that. The Dramon may continue to attack your friends and
family until everyone you ever knew was dead," Yamaki replied. "You can't
protect anyone if you're dead."

Shuichon pouted. "So that's why Ai-chan and Mako-chan aren't here. They
haven't spent much time around Takato-kun."

"Exactly," Yamaki replied. "The only connections they have is knowing him
through third-hand-relations and that they have a D-Arc. Hopefully that will
help keep them safe."

"If that doesn't?" Impmon sneered.

"Then they're in the same position as all the other Tamers. You'll know
they're being attacked and will rush to their aid and pray that you make it
in time," Yamaki replied. "Wild will try to send others to help, but the
time it takes will be an issue."

Impmon crossed his arms and glared. "A lot of fucking good that does."

"Any idea who's behind these attacks?" Jenrya questioned.

"Only theories so far," Yamaki replied.

"Whoever is behind this has a lot of power," Lopmon noted. "For a digimon to
realize on Earth, they must catch a data stream and ride it all the way
here. The larger the digimon, the more perilous it is. For a Black
Maildramon and a Giga Dramon to come here, someone or something has to be
opening a portal for them."

"And who can do that?" Ruki asked.

"Only Wild, a group of Digi-Gnomes, or one of the Digital Gods could
accomplish it," Lopmon answered.

"Considering they've all been Dramon, it would lead us to suspect
Qinglongmon. But what does he have against Takato?" Jenrya questioned.

"I have no idea," Takato replied.

"Maybe Zhuqiaomon is behind it and is using Dramon to frame Qinglongmon,"
Hirokazu guessed.

"Zhuqiaomon-sama would not do such a thing!" Lopmon protested.

"The fact is we don't know who or what is behind these attacks. For all we
know the one responsible is on Earth drawing them here," Yamaki refuted.
"Until we get more information, we cannot come up with a course of action to
prevent future attacks."

"There is one last thing I want to address," Brigton called out. "I want to
know what happened at the party most of you attended last week."

Yamaki rubbed his forehead, expecting a headache to soon follow.

Takato glared while Juri and Kenta paled.

"We got drunk and had a little fun," Hirokazu replied defensively. "It's no
concern of yours."

"Then can you explain why this meeting was the first time that Lieutenant
Matsuda and Lieutenant Katou said a word to each other since that party?"
Brigton questioned.

A few of them looked surprised.

"What happened between Takato and me is none of your business," Juri said
coldly before stomping out of the room.

"Lieutenant Katou!" Brigton barked as the others could only watch Juri
leave.

"That will be all," Yamaki said almost off-handedly. "You're all dismissed."

------------------------------------------------

"Hey, Takato, wait up," Jenrya called out.

"What is it, Jen?" Takato asked.

"I should be asking you that," Jenrya returned. "I should've known something
was upsetting you."

Takato smirked. "You've never were good at reading people."

Guilmon tapped his partner. "Let's all go to the park."

"Sounds like fun," Terriermon added.

"Yeah. Let's go," Jenrya agreed.

Takato sighed. "Why not?"

------------------------------------------------

Ruki spent a little time looking around Wild seeing if she could find Juri,
but had no luck. Unless she was in one of the labs, she had to have left
already. So, Makino exited the Central Government Building which housed
Wild.

"What took you so long?"

Ruki turned around and saw Juri leaning against the wall, apparently waiting
for her. She shook her head. "Looking for you."

"Well, you 'found' me," Juri replied. "Mind if I go over to your house?"

"I already know where this is going," Ruki said with a smirk. "I'll make a
deal with you right now: I'll tell you everything that happened with Ryo if
you tell me what's going on between you and Takato."

Juri frowned. "You're not going to give me any other choices, are you?"

"Nope," Ruki replied.

Juri sighed. "If Renamon is going to listen in, I want to ask her an
intimate question."

Renamon appeared behind Ruki with an eyebrow raised in mild surprise. "You
knew I was here?"

"There's no way you'd leave Ruki's side just after she lost her boyfriend,"
Juri replied.

Ruki sighed. "Guess there's no point in denying that now."

"I will answer your question," Renamon said. "Perhaps we should go somewhere
more private first." She then disappeared from sight again.

"We should have enough privacy at my house," Ruki noted.

Juri nodded. "Let's go."

------------------------------------------------

"Digimon aren't real!" yelled a four-year-old boy.

"Are too!" retorted a girl of the same age.

"Are not!" returned the boy.

The girl stomped her feet. "Are too! Are too! Are too!"

"'D2,'" Terriermon joked, while hanging onto Jenrya's back with his large
ears.

The young children stared not only at the weird talking dog, but the small
red dinosaur walking with two teenage boys.

"Told you they were real," the boy said disbelieving.

"No you didn't. I did!" protested the girl.

"I did too!" the boy yelled back.

"Did not!" screamed the girl.

Terriermon shook his head as he heard the two kids continue to argue. "Kids
are cutest when you have nothing to do with them."

"I hope when I have kids, they won't act like that," Jenrya mentioned.

"Of course they will," Takato replied. "Kids will be kids." He then cringed
when he noticed the boy pushed the girl over. "And boys will be boys."

Guilmon rushed over and helped the girl stand up while glaring at the boy.
"That's not nice. Do you like it if someone pushed you?"

"She called me a liar," the boy protested.

"Aren't you?" Guilmon replied.

"Guilmon, that's enough," Takato called out.

"Good boys admit when they're wrong," Guilmon scolded, flashing a deadly
smile before chasing after Takato.

"S-sorry," the boy stammered.

The girl giggled. "You're scared."

"Am not!" cried out the boy.

"Are too!" returned the girl.

Guilmon sagged. "Do they like doing that?"

"I guess." Takato shrugged. "Juri and I were like that at their age."

Jenrya blinked. "You've known each other that long. I'm surprised you don't
think of her as a sister."

Takato gave a hollow laugh. "I guess you could say Juri and I were friends
in preschool and kindergarten, but when grade school started girls had
become 'icky.' I became best friends with Hirokazu, and Kenta joined us when
his family moved here back in fourth grade. Then when fifth grade started
somehow Juri didn't seem so 'icky' and more, well... weird but in an
interesting way. The more I got to know her, the better I liked her."

"So why did you stop talking to each other?" Jenrya asked.

"I raped her," Takato replied.

Jenrya stared in absolute shock while Terriermon fell off him. Guilmon
closed his eyes and wished he could close his ears.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Jenrya screamed.

Takato glared. "You know how I get when I'm drunk. I saw her kiss Kenta and
got jealous. I took it out on her."

Jenrya slumped to the ground and accidentally sat on Terriermon's ear,
causing the digimon to yelp in pain. "Are you sure you really did that?" Lee
asked.

Takato nodded. "I woke up and found Juri half-naked in bed with me. And I
could tell she had been crying hard."

"I... I don't know what to think...," Jenrya said uncertainly.

------------------------------------------------

"Do you girls need anything else?" Seiko questioned.

"We're fine, Grandma," Ruki replied. "We're going to talk about work."

"This concerns what happened to Akiyama, doesn't it?" Seiko asked. "That
wasn't a gas explosion he died in."

Ruki frowned. "It was a digimon attack. I can't tell you more than that."

Seiko nodded sadly. "If there's anything I can help with, don't hesitate to
ask." She then quietly shut the door and left.

"So, how's your show going?" Juri asked, starting with a safe topic.

"Good, I guess. We were able to hammer out six episodes last week. Though
Genji took forever to do the 'Takuya love confession' right," Ruki replied.

"Why is that?" Juri asked.

"He kept saying 'I love you, Ruki,' and he meant it," Ruki replied with a
wry smile.

"That's going to make things difficult for you," Juri commented.

Ruki nodded. "After the next three weeks of solid filming and that idiot,
I'll be happy to see school start."

"Care to tell me what else happened this week?" Juri asked.

Ruki smirked. "Ryo and I both lost the Digi-Battle tournament. If Ryo hadn't
beaten me, I would've defeated the kid he lost to as my deck is practically
designed to be immune to it. If I had defeated Ryo, he might still be
around."

"I think it was best it happened when and where it did," Renamon replied.
"Eventually you would've been with Ryo, and Millenniumon could've done a lot
more damage somewhere else, like here."

"Or Millenniumon could've realized his love for you and killed Impmon in
order to claim you," Ruki added.

"I am not a prize to be won." Renamon huffed.

Ruki noticed Juri smiling at her strangely and asked, "What?"

"So, you did make love to Ryo," Juri accused.

"I wouldn't say 'I made love to him,' but more like that I fucked him," Ruki
retorted. "I needed sex and he was there."

"Sorry." Renamon shifted uncomfortably.

Ruki glared. "There's nothing for you to apologize for."

"If I hadn't been sleeping with Impmon, then...." Renamon trailed off.

"Then my relationship with Ryo wouldn't have advanced as fast. If and when
we did get together, we could have been attacked somewhere inconvenient or
have Millenniumon trying to win you over, even if it meant killing your
other suitors," Ruki intoned. "What happened, happened and nothing is going
to change it."

Renamon sighed in defeat.

"So, what was it like 'fucking Ryo?'" Juri asked.

"Well... I can't describe it. It felt great," Ruki replied.

"Was it painful?" Juri questioned.

"A little at the start. Fortunately, Renamon already made me wet so the lack
of foreplay wasn't an issue," Ruki explained.

Juri looked over at Renamon and asked, "Did you feel any pain your first
time?"

Renamon frowned. "A bit. However, when I was with Impmon for the first time,
I had no idea what I was doing." She fidgeted nervously. "I didn't even
understand that I'm fully a girl."

Juri blinked. "Huh?"

Ruki smirked. "Apparently Renamon was an orphan before she hatched from her
egg. With the harsh conditions of the Digital World at the time, Renamon
never really talked to other digimon. It was kill or be killed, and she
killed and loaded their data. She didn't know genders existed until she got
here and became my partner. But stupid me kept saying digimon weren't living
creatures and she believed it. So, if she wasn't alive, then she had no real
gender."

Renamon blushed in embarrassment. "Ruki...."

"I guess it's an understandable mistake given the situation," Juri replied
uncertainly. "What happened afterwards?"

Renamon sigh fondly, which unnerved the human girls for some reason. "Impmon
admitted that he loved me. I wish I could take back how I acted after
that."

"What did you do?" Juri pressed.

Renamon looked away. "I got scared and ran away. The whole concept of love
and intimacy was new to me and I didn't know how to deal with it. Impmon
thought he had done something wrong and blamed himself for my actions. It
took a few weeks and a rather embarrassing talk with Shibumi for me to
confront my feelings. You know the rest."

Juri sighed. "Maybe that's why Takato ran...."

Ruki blinked. "You had sex with Takato?"

Juri nodded slowly. "At the party."

"I want to know exactly what happened," Ruki demanded.

Juri fidgeted. "Well, it all started when I kissed Kenta to make Takato
jealous, and he was. He kicked the back of Kenta's knee and stomped off. I
chased after him and...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why did you do that to Kenta?" Juri demanded.

"'Cause I felt like it," Takato retorted.

"That's not good enough. Now tell me the truth," Juri insisted.

"You want to know? Because I was jealous. Happy?" Takato snarled.

"Jealous? Because I danced with him?" Juri questioned.

"No. 'Cause you kissed him," Takato replied.

"Why should you care who I kiss?" Juri angrily asked.

Takato let out a frustrated cry and went into the nearest room, but Juri
barged her way into the room before he had a chance to shut it.

"You're not getting away that quickly. I want you to answer the question.
'Why do you care who I kiss?'" Juri demanded.

"You shouldn't be kissing anyone," Takato answered.

"Why not? I'm old enough to have sex if I want to," Juri shot back.

"I like you too much to let you be a slut," Takato told her.

Juri slapped him. "If you like me, why haven't YOU done anything?"

"It wouldn't be right," Takato defended.

"Not right is kissing a friend to make you jealous. Not right is waiting on
you to get off your ass and kiss me." Juri poked him in the chest several
times. "I'd rather you fuck me than do nothing. But you haven't. I'm not
going to wait anymore Takato. If you truly like me, then prove it.
Otherwise, I'll never be with you."

"Fine," Takato snarled angrily. "If that's the way you want it." He yanked
down his pants.

Juri's eyes widened in shock as Takato pushed her down onto Hirokazu's
parents' bed. He then gripped her panties and yanked them down. Before she
could even cry out his name, he rammed his cock into her like a dull knife
cutting away her virginity. She couldn't take the pain and cried out as if
she was being tortured, but Takato didn't stop.

"Takato, STOP! You're hurting me!" Juri pleaded desperately while his cock
pounded inside her. Her pain was unimaginable as he forced his way deeper
and deeper into her being. She had no idea how something that was supposed
to be pleasurable could possibly hurt so much.

Takato didn't hear her screams as he ravaged the girl underneath him. He was
lost to the world of pleasure only he was feeling. A little over a minute
after he began, what little control he had broke and he orgasmed into her.
Panting from his exertion, he rolled off her.

Juri laid next to him, crying. She had heard first times were painful for
girls, but surely they weren't THAT painful. Had Renamon felt such pain when
she slept with Impmon for the first time?

Juri carefully sat up and kicked off her panties, as she had been unable to
do so while Takato had taken her. She noted with some surprise that there
was very little blood on Takato's dick. From the pain she experienced, she
thought it would be covered in it.

"Takato... you must have done something wrong," Juri voiced, pulling his
pants and underwear off him. "You were too rough. It should be more like
this." She gripped his limp tool and began to tenderly stroke it.

Takato groaned in pleasure but didn't otherwise move.

Juri smiled as his manhood became hard once more. She then straddled his
hips and carefully lowered herself onto him. At first she winced as his hot
member stretched her tender and recently torn flesh, but she didn't stop.
Once he was fully in her, Juri let out a gasp of pleasure. This was more of
the feeling she had expected. His hot meat spreading her open and filling
her.

Juri waited a moment to get accustomed to the foreign intruder in her nether
regions before she began to move again. Slowly and carefully she raised
herself and then lowered herself back down, relishing in the feeling of
Takato moving inside her. She could feel the head of his cock tickle her
delicate flesh with pleasure.

Slow and steady had been a good way to start, but that wasn't doing enough
for Juri anymore. She increased her tempo as she rode Takato like a horse at
full gallop. The sensations she felt now were a whole different kind of
torture than when he had taken her. Her insides twisted and tensed. She felt
as if she was waiting for something, but didn't know what it was.

Takato's cum erupted inside her, and all Juri could think of was that it had
been too soon. She sped up as she bounced on top of him with reckless
abandon. She moaned and cried, pleading for release. Then all at once, it
came. Her world was swallowed up in a sea of ecstasy. With one final cry,
she collapsed on top of Takato.

Juri smiled lazily as she ruffled his hair. "Now that's the way it should've
been." She then shut her eyes and drifted to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ruki and Renamon stared at Juri. They had wanted details, and they got it.

"The following morning I saw Takato looking at me in fear. He hopped out of
the bed and grabbed his clothes while apologizing. He left saying, 'I'm
really sorry for last night,'" Juri finished.

"Ouch," Ruki commented.

"I thought he was upset because he doesn't like me THAT way, but more of a
sister. That I had made a mistake by goading him into taking my virginity,"
Juri commented.

Ruki raised an eyebrow. "You wanted him to bang you dry?"

"I didn't expect him to be so rough," Juri protested. "I'm still upset at
him for not stopping."

Ruki shook her head. "Every time I feel my life sucks, I find out something
about you that makes my problems seem so pointless."

"How is losing Ryo not worse than a painful first time?" Juri questioned.

"Haven't you lost Takato?" Ruki returned.

Juri paled. "I... What should I do?"

"Wait for him to come to you," Renamon replied. "If it is a matter of being
afraid of commitment, he'll need time to deal with his feelings for you."

Juri sighed. "I guess so." She then frowned as she looked at the clock.
"I've got to go home and work."

"Have fun," Ruki replied.

Juri mad a funny face. "Yeah, right."

------------------------------------------------

"You're seriously considering letting a Dramon kill you, aren't you?" Jenrya
accused. "You didn't even think about the Dramon stopping if you died until
I mentioned it at the meeting, did you?"

"Not really, but it would keep everyone safe," Takato replied uncertainly.

"But that's not why you're going to do it," Jenrya snapped. "You're going to
commit suicide because of what you did to Juri."

"I'd be protecting her!" Takato protested.

"There's no guarantee that would happen," Jenrya retorted. "What if the one
behind the attacks is out to kill everyone you ever knew? Or maybe you being
signaled out is a ruse to distract us from an invasion. Yamaki is right
about this. The only way you can be sure to protect Juri is to stay alive."

"But how can I protect her when I'm the one that keeps hurting her?" Takato
demanded. "Everything I do seems to hurt her more." He stood up and began to
walk off. "Come on, Guilmon. Let's go home."

"Hey, Takato!" Terriermon called out. "If you kill yourself, I'll never
forgive you even IF the attacks stop!"

"Neither will I," Jenrya added.

Takato waved weakly.

------------------------------------------------

Juri sat in front of the television, but wasn't really watching it. She
wanted to slap herself. She had gone over to Ruki's house to help her friend
deal with losing Ryo, but ended up talking about what happened at the party
instead.

"There's that upside-down smile again," Culumon huffed.

Juri gave him a small smile. "Sorry."

Masahiko picked up Culumon. "Neechan, what's wrong?"

"Well... Ryo-san died yesterday," Juri told them.

"Culu?!" Culumon cried out in shock.

Masahiko frowned. "Oh."

"How's Ruki feeling?" Culumon asked.

"I'm not sure. I talked to her today, but we didn't talk much about Ryo,"
Juri answered.

"Maybe I should pay her a visit, culu," Culumon said to himself.

"But first we should chase away Frownmon, right?" Masahiko asked.

"Right!" Culumon jumped out of the boy's arms.

Masahiko pulled out a worn card. "Card Slash!"

"Culumon evolve!" Culumon spun around in circles until he got dizzy. He then
wobbled as he tried to stand straight. "Lucemon!"

"Lucemon attack!" Masahiko called out, holding out the worn card, which was
for Lucemon.

Culumon spread is arms wide. "Grand Cross!"

Juri couldn't help but giggle at their antics.

------------------------------------------------

Mie did a double take as she looked into her son's room. It was clean and
she hadn't been the one to clean it. "Who are you, and what did you do with
my son?" she joked.

Takato looked up from his computer. "What?"

"You cleaned your room," Mie replied.

"So?" Takato replied. "It needed it."

"I've been telling you that for over ten years," Mie retorted with a smile.
"Now try to keep it clean."

"I will," Takato answered.

"For cleaning your room, you can have an extra serving of ice cream
tonight," Mie told him.

"Not hungry," Takato replied.

Mie frowned. "You're upset about Akiyama, aren't you?"

"No, Mom. He's not exactly dead, he's just no longer here," Takato replied.
"If you don't mind, I've got to finish this report for Yamaki."

"If you say so," Mie reluctantly shut her son's door.

Takato sighed as he returned his attention to the computer and began to
type.

'Juri, I never meant to hurt you, but everything I do seems to hurt you
more. I should've never taken you to the Digital World that first time, I
should've protected you more so that the D-Reaper would've never claimed
you, and I should've never gotten drunk and raped you. Every time you get
hurt, it was my fault. I hope that now that I'm dead, you'll never be hurt
again.'

------------------------------------------------

Ruki sat in her backyard, looking up at the half moon in the sky.

"Couldn't sleep?" Renamon asked sitting down next to her partner.

Ruki sighed. "It was just a nightmare."

"What was the dream?" Renamon questioned.

Ruki curled up into a ball. "It was like watching a video tape of every time
I saw Ryo, from when I first met him and hated his guts to when I fucked him
and then lost him." She looked at her partner. "You have no idea how much I
feel like an idiot remembering all the mistakes I made with him."

"Love makes us all idiots," Renamon replied sagely.

Ruki let out a short laugh. "I still don't know if I loved him."

"You do love him," Renamon stated flatly to get her point across. "Whether
or not it was a love that would last for the rest of your life doesn't
change that you do love him now. He holds a special place in your life no
one will ever be able to fully replace."

"I guess," Ruki agreed uncertainly. "I certainly never thought I'd miss him
as much as I do. I keep expecting him to show up and say, 'I'm back, my
Queen.'"

"There's still the chance he will," Renamon replied.

Ruki shook her head. "If Ryo could come back, he would've done it already.
He can choose when he can appear." She sighed. "If Ryo can ever get
Millenniumon to accept him with a girl, he would've found someone else to
love. He's dead to this world. I'll never see him again."

"But, Ruki...," Renamon trailed off, wanting to give her partner some hope,
but not knowing what to say.

Kai sweat-dropped. "Guess Takato did rape Juri, but only because it was
rougher than she had wanted."

Kai shook his head. "Anyway, life continues on without Ryo as the Tamers
deal with the issues in their life. But the kids aren't the only one with
problems. Watch out for the next part, The Edge of Tomorrow. Until then,
grab hold and tame the future.

Author's Notes:

I just 'love' it when the characters decide to take the story where I had
not intended it to go. At least they can't affect the main plot beyond
delaying it... so far, anyway. Because of Entry 2 going in directions I had
not planned, what was supposed a mini-arc of four entries to set up
everything has already ballooned to at least seven. It doesn't help that
Wild and the junior Tamers weren't suppose to factor into the story yet, but
the story conspired to make them more important earlier on.

Q&A Time again:

Did Takato rape Juri?

By American legal definition: Yes, he did. While Juri wanted sex, she did
not want rough sex. Once she said stop, he should have stopped. Failure to
do so IS rape. Not that Juri would press charges. Even if she tried, nothing
would become of it because they're in Japan, the police would not consider
it rape and Takato would not be arrested. Date rape is only a crime if the
culprit is a foreigner.


What was Renamon's embarrassing talk with Shibumi?

Basically it amounts to Shibumi explaining to Renamon that digimon were all
given the ability to bred with each other to create new varieties of
digimon. And that being computer geeks, they were really only familiar with
human sexuality and wanted a uniform means for digimon to interbred so all
digimon were given human sex organs. Not to mention some of those working on
Digimon actually fantasized about being with a digimon, and could only do
that if the digimon had similar means to have sex. (There is a reason
Renamon went to Shibumi instead of Tao, but I won't explain why that's the
case. At least not here.)

Also a reminder, with the violent nature of the Digital World was at the
start of the series, it is entirely possible that even a simple concept like
gender to never register to Renamon while she lived there because survival
was more important. If she never took the time to learn anything about other
digimon and never saw a penis, how could she tell the difference between a
male digimon and a female one? Particular since most digimon she'd meet are
guys trying to kill her, and she'd kill and load their data first.

> Okay...Cool

You're very observant. ^^;

Is Ai affected by Impmon/Renamon? Yes. Eight-year-olds usually don't
masturbate. (Though there are some who have.) Ai didn't have anyone to focus
her lust on, Makoto, on the other hand, was trying to impress Shuichon at
the time, not that he'd know what to do if she was willing.

As for your other questions and comments, you'll have to wait and see.

At this time there are no plans for the Tamers to go to any Adventures, nor
for the Chosen to go the Tamers' world.

Ryo was always a Chosen Child, and was given the title of Tamer during the
games.

Takato, Ruki, Jenrya, Ryo, Juri, Hirokazu, Kenta, Shuichon, Ai and Makoto
have all been given honorary ranks in the United Nations Naval forces under
Wild's supervision. That was done to give Wild the right to spy on them on
Japanese soil. The digimon, however, are classified as weapons and don't
have a rank, nor any rights to speak of.
