I have a very sad announcement. On a beautiful September morning, the man who I based the character of Big Mike, Axel's father (my dad) died.

Axel & Rena. Chap 27

"AXEL!!"

Axel, Kimmy and Dee hadn't even made it all the way into camp before a yellow flash of fur streaked in from their left and tackled the black digimon to the ground. The world spun for a moment before slowly returning to normal, if there was such a thing in the digi-realm. Axel grunted as a familiar digi-fox straddled his chest and pinned him to the ground.

"Good afternoon ma'am," he blinked as he looking up into the prettiest of blue eyes. "I'm a certified representative for The Household Cleaning Supplies Company of Walla-Walla Washington TM..."

"You're definitely a certified something," growled Rena as she leaned over her mate to lick his snout, tail waging. "Where have you been Axel? You're late."

"Sorry dear," he sighed in mock sadness, "first there was a problem at the cleaners, then I had to pick up Kimmy from school... and don't even get me started on the traffic coming around the lake."

"Did I..." a stunned LadyDevimon turned and asked Kimmy, "did I miss something?"

"Its just their way of playing with one another" shrugged the teen. "If you think that's weird, you should see what happens when he comes home from the video store."

Dee was about to inquire about that when a Gatomon exploded onto the scene. "Kimmy!" the cat yowled happily as she rushed up and leaped into the teen's outstretched arms. With a sigh and shake of her head, the demon could only stand aside and watch, while Kimmy and Cleo hugged and cried at the joy of finding each other alive and well.

At first LadyDevimon felt out of place, she was the only one of the group without a mate or lover. Yet she couldn't believe the warmth and giddiness that filled her as she watched. It was strange to her, almost overwhelming, demons just didn't usually feel such things when seeing other people so happy... so what had changed? But then this question could wait, right?

In short order the reunion hugging and kissing stopped and the troop made its way back into camp. There they encircled the fire and waited for Mary and Leo to join them for a question and answer session... which Axel was dreading. During the wait, Rena took the time to fill the two lost souls in on how life here at the camp had been for the past few days.

Two hours would pass before Mary and Leo finally made their entrance. By the looks of the two new lovers, they had tactfully stopped at the lake and bathed after their sex romp. Everyone waited as mother and daughter hugged. Axel was the only one who took note that Mary was now wearing Leo's tribal tooth necklace, a sign to other Leomon that the woman was taken... not that he cared; he had been trying to get them together after all.

"Ok," Axel announced, still in his Renamon form. "Obviously there are a few questions that need answering..."

"More than a few, love." Rena added as Mary and Kimmy broke up and went to sit with their respective partners.

"I only have one," Mary said as she gave her digi-brother a cool gaze. "At least for you."

*"Ah... yes, well..." the BlackRenamon said with a shiver, "I guess there are some things that do need undressing... err, I mean addressing." *

"Very well" I'll go first," Mary said as her brother sank down next to his mate. "Kimmy, what happened to your clothes, and where did you get the toga?"

"Well that in its self requires me telling you what happened with Myotismon." The teen said, out of the corner of her eyes she saw her uncle sigh... he had dodged the first question. So without further ado, Kimmy filled them in on what Myotismon had in store for her, her dark fate at becoming a sex slave for 50 Gazimon, and her rescue by BlackSetRenamon.

"And the toga?" her mother pressed.

"We found it at Myotismon's office, which was down in the completed part of the tunnel." Kimmy said, "Axel turned one of the vampire's spare capes into this dress so that I wouldn't be walking about naked."

"My turn," called Rena as she turned toward her mate. "How did you digivolve without me?"

"Well..." This time it was Axel's turn to explain about the airshaft and his run in with something heavy and made of metal. "After that I don't remember anything until I woke up... err... holding Kimmy.

"I have a question, for Axel," piped up LadyDevimon who was given a nod by the group to continue. "If you are right now in your BlackRenamon form... why aren't you trying to destroy everything that lives?"

"I can field that one," Rena smiled, "right now Axel is in charge of himself, the black part of his soul that is the BlackRenamon must remain dormant until Axel reverts to human... in which case they then fight to see who again will dominate this form."

"Err..." blinked the demon. "And just how does he gain dominance over his darker self?"

"Well..." Rena hesitated, "for the most part I can control both sides of my mate, but in order for Axel to take over in this form... the darkness inside him must be soothed."

"Oh," nodded Dee, but she wasn't willing to let this go. "And how do you sooth something as evil as the BlackRenamon?"

"Ummm, well there are several ways," Rena's voice quivered as she looked to her mate, wondering how much detail she should go into with this. "I find that soft words and a gentle touch can bring Axel out..."

"Or you just have sex with him," piped up Kimmy. "The energy involved in the act drains Black enough so that Axel can take over."

Everyone turned to look at Kimmy. For the teen, the different facial expressions that were now plastered on each of the other 6 members of Team 1, was priceless. She couldn't contain the mirth that rose up from her belly and broke out as a wide grin on her face. Heck the look of absolute horror in her uncle's glowing eye was enough to make her break out in laughter.

"Err..." Rena blinked in shock, her voice suddenly a whisper, "that does it too..."

"...Axel..." Mary said as she found her own voice. "Did you have sex with Kimmy?"

"No Mom," Kimmy announced before her uncle could respond, "It was Black who deflowered me, Axel didn't know what was happening till it was over."

"That's no excuse!" Mary began as she rose to her feet, her anger beginning to boil. "How could you Axel? Kimmy is your own flesh and blood, what you have done is...is so inhuman..."

"!MARY!"

Quickly all eyes turned toward Rena, no one except Axel had ever heard the digi-fox sound so threatening. The camp was strangely quiet as Rena stood and locked eyes with the redhead. "You of all people should know about Axel's unique duel personality and what it does to him," she said as she starred down the woman. "And your right, it was inhuman... but then again, Axel isn't human!"

"...But..." Mary whispered as she sank down next to Leo, who in turn placed a protective arm about her.

"Mary, Axel is and will be a hybrid for the rest of his life." Rena sighed as she went on, "he is both human and digimon, yet he is neither at the same time. The same applies to me as well... but you know that, we talked remember?"

"Yeah." Mary nodded slowly, "I remember... you even asked then if I would be opposed to Axel and Kimmy... getting together."

"And what was your answer?"

"Only if it couldn't be helped or stopped." Mary sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "It just that... well... Axel is so much older than Kimmy, and"

"Umm... Mom," Kimmy interjected, "age doesn't mean anything to digimon."

"Kimmy's right," began Cleo as Rena took her place at her mate's side. "To my knowledge, there has never been a recorded case of a digimon dying of old age. There are first generation digimon still running around out there, some millions of digi-years old."

"Really?" Mary blinked in surprise. "That would mean... but Axel isn't a true digimon."

"Yeah," Axel breathed as he looked over the fire to his sister. "Frank already confirmed it. Because Rena and I are hybrids we will age and die, just at a much slower rate that any human should."

"Cool!" Kimmy smiled

"How long will you two live?" asked Dee.

*"Frank figured that we could live as long as 500 years." Rena smiled as she hugged Axel's arm. "If not longer. That will give us lots of time to establish our new race." *

"Pardon me," Leo said in a commanding tone. This of course got everyone's attention and put it fully on him. "I think there is something that all of you are overlooking. Here we have brother and sister at odds for something that may have happened no matter what anyone thinks or says."

"Finally a voice of reason," sighed Cleo.

"I think what you have all failed to take into account here is Kimmy." With that the lion-man turned his attention to the girl. "Kimmy, I'm going to ask you one question, but before I do... remember this, my nose can tell if you answer untruthfully."

"Err..." Kimmy shivered as she watched Leo tap his snout. "I guess it's ok."

"Very well then..." Leo said as he trained his nose onto the girl's scent. "I have seen how you have looked at Axel since coming to the digital-world and I know you have feelings for him... so my question is this. Did you give yourself willingly to him... or were you forced?"

"Forced?!" Mary barked in surprise. "Do you mean she may have been raped?"

"Mary, please..." The lion soothed as he held her close. "I'm not saying anything, Kimmy must be the one to tell what happened."

"But?"

"It's ok Mom." Kimmy sighed as she stood up and addressed the team, her only falter was to look at her digi-uncle and wonder if what she was going to say would change things between them. She really did like her uncle and wanted to share herself with him again... if only he would let her.

"First I want to say that I am completely dedicated to Cleo, I love her and will never want another. With that said, yes I have had feelings for Axel, he is the only person to ever treat me like an adult. Even when I was 12 he refused to see me as a child, instead he always showed me respect and listened to anything I had to say. Of all the boys and men I have known, Axel had impressed me the most. That is why he was and still is the only man I will ever let have me."

"Now granted, when the time finally arrived, it was Black who got the honor of popping me and not Axel. As we all know, Black really isn't the friendly looking of digimon around, so yes, I got scared. When I realized that I was about to be properly fucked by a male for the first time in my life, and I saw the size of his... well, I froze and lost my nerve."

*"So before everyone here jumps to the wrong conclusion... I would like to add that I needed Black to take me the way he did. He saw past my fright and into my heart, he knew that deep down I wanted and needed him to be in me. Now then, you ask if I was forced, the answer is yes... but now that I'm no longer scared, I would gladly let Black or even Axel take me again." *

All was quiet for a long moment; even the fire seemed to crackle in a whisper. It was Cleo who finally broke the silence.

"Umm, pardon me for bringing you all back to the matter at hand." Cleo sighed as she stood next to her partner and looked about the camp. "But we have lost 2 days and time is getting short."

"Your right Cleo, thanks," Axel nodded, "Leo how far are we from the nearest rail station?"

"We are approximately one day away from Station 13," this was from LadyDevimon. "Then there is the week long train ride to Green Valley. As it is, we will have two days grace once we arrive, before we're overdue."

"Then might I suggest we get some sleep," Leo said as he stood, "we need to head out as soon as its light."

Axel lay awake in his dark cabin as the train car rocked gently to the soft beat of the rails below. His eyes had long since adjusted to gloom that filled the cabin in a bluish haze, yet his eyes saw nothing. Even with Rena cuddled up next to him, hugging his right arm in her peaceful slumber, his mind had drifted off to memories of his teenage friend Josh.

It had been so long since Josh had flipped out, yet still that night kept playing over and over in his mind. A simple disagreement over rules in a game had quickly turned into a shouting match, then hurtful words were said... and finally their friendship was torn apart when words turned to physical blows.

The images of Josh swinging punches at his face flashed constantly in Axel's brain. The feeling of emptiness when Axel was finally forced to defend himself, the astonished look in Josh's eyes when Axel broke his nose on the first swing. Josh swearing an oath to destroy Axel's life... now, after all this time, Josh was still waiting to do just that.

With the help of a chill that was running up his spine, Axel was brought back to the present. He couldn't say why, but yet knew that something was wrong. Deep inside Axel felt the tingle that meant... danger? Not wanting to alert Rena or the others, Axel slowly slipped out of bed and looked around the room.

The room, though small, held enough creature comforts so that Axel and Rena had only needed to venture out for food. There was a small washroom with toilet and shower near the main door, a large sofa that doubled as a bed, and if you really needed the room, a sliding door could be opened that connected this cabin to Dee's.

But Axel and Rena were more than happy with what they had, so left LadyDevimon to her own privacy.

Now, as Axel became fully aware of the world around him, did it dawn on him that the train, Locomon, (see the Digimon movie #6) wasn't moving? There was no gentle rocking, no click-clack of the wheels... nothing. With the pit of his stomach starting to turn cold, he tiptoed over to the large window at the end of his cabin and looked out. As best he could, he opened part of the window and stuck his head out to see what might have stopped the train.

Axel's jaw dropped at what he saw.

The world outside was all-wrong. Trees and grass close to the train were but a blur, all fuzzy and misshapen. A few yards away Axel could make out leaves and dust kicked up by Locomon's passage, just hanging in the air. While farther out, he could see a DemiDevimon and a Mothmon frozen in the midst of mortal combat. Time, at lest for Axel, had once again... stopped.

"Axel" a voice whispered

Axel spun about and looked around his cabin, yet other than a sleeping Renamon, he was alone. "What the hell?" he whispered as he quickly slipped on his black fatigues and moved over to the door. Slowly, carefully he opened the door and peeked out into the hall... nothing. Gently he closed the door and locked it "I don't like this"

"Axel... up here."

Axel jumped back from the door and looked... up? The voice was coming from above, from on top of the train. Someone had found Team one. He was being called out by someone who was immune to the stand-still of time that affected him.

Axel glanced over at Rena; he knew full well what could happen if that person came down here... it could kill everyone on Team One without ever being seen. Before the voice could come again he teleported.

"Who dares to call me!?" Axel growled as he reappeared atop the train.

"I do..." said a calm voice from behind.

"What?" Axel twisted around and dropped into a fighting stance... then blinked.

Standing just a few feet away, silhouetted by the full moon...

"I think its time we had a little chat," said the BlackRenamon, his red eyes glowing brightly.

"But... how?" Axel was in shock for he now stood face to face... with himself.

"I would like to say that you are asleep," Black said as he stepped within a few feet of his human self, "that this is only a dream... but I would be lying, and that is something I can not do to myself."

"This can't.." stammered a confused Axel.

"Can't what?" Black asked as he tilted his head, regarding Axel with a bit of amusement. "Can't be happening?"

"Yeah" Axel nodded dumbly.

"Axel, I'm a god here in the digi-world so I assure you... it can." Black said, taking a moment to look Axel over from head to toe. Then with a flip of his tail, Black turned and sat down on the train car's wooden roof. "Come, sit, we need to talk."

"May I ask," Axel blinked, "what are we going to talk about?"

"About life, the universe, and... everything," Black smiled, "but mostly about our fate and whether or not we should decide to except it, or fight against it."

Axel hesitated for this could after all be a trap, right? One just didn't simply have conversations with their dark sub-conscience self. Yet the draw he felt towards this thing led him to believe it meant him no harm... with a final shrug he walked over next to Black and sat down. "So what does fate have in store for us, that we don't want to do?"

** "To put it bluntly, Dee had it right," Black said as he looked out over the blurry landscape. "I was meant to destroy this world and others like it. I would have reveled in seeing the void rip this world apart and suck it all into oblivion, much as I did with countless others."**

"Was... would have? That's all past tense," Axel said glancing sideways at BlackRenamon. "What happened that's made such a change in you?"

"Something unforeseen," Black said as he flashed Axel a smile, "and I don't just mean the fact that I was reborn as a human this time."

"And that would be?"

"A new freedom, one of choice." Black says as he turned to regard Axel again.

"And you gained this... how?"

"Through the first two sacrifices." Black said with a wave of his hand.

"I'm sorry," Axel blinked, "I'm not following you here."

"Alright," Black sighed, "then try this. You know that without someone to control me, I'll destroy everything without a care in the world, hell I'll enjoy it."

Axel could only nod.

"Now then, by the legend there is only one way of gaining control of me," Black went on, "via the three sacrifices. The person or digimon presenting me with the sacrifices, providing the three are the right type, would then be able to command me to do his or her biding."

"Yes, right... I know the legend." Axel nodded, and then blinked as something registered. "Wait, you said that things had changed because of the first -two- sacrifices... when the hell did they happen and who's now controlling you?"

"No one is controlling me..." The blank look in Axel's eyes caused a smile to cross Black's muzzle again. "Ok, so no one yet."

"But... I don't get it," Axel protested, "who were the innocent sacrifices, and who gave them to you?"

"Rena and Kimmy were the ones given," Black stated.

"What!" Axel barked, then shook his head "no, that can't be, Rena and Kimmy are still alive."

"Are you usually this dense?" Black enquired, arching an eyebrow and giving Axel a strange glance. "Look Axel, the legend only states that the innocent blood of three must be given. Now I understand where others might interpret the legend wrong, but then it doesn't say they need to pay with their lives either."

"Err...so..." Axel was trying to understand, really, but the lack of sleep was hampering things.

"So..." BlackRenamon blinked, Axel usually wasn't this thick headed. "Look, back on earth, what does it mean when a girl loses her innocence?"

"It means that... that..." Axel was suddenly at a loss for words, in all this time he had failed to make the connection. "Is it really that simple? I mean, but what about needing their fresh blood to consummate... err... oh."

"Now then, this creates a problem," Black nodded as he looked out at the paused night. "See, there were no strings attached, no shadowy figure offering them in hopes to control me... they gave themselves willingly... to you. Even Kimmy kept calling out to you as I took her."

"But," Axel shivered, knowing that Kimmy had called out his name while being fucked by Black was one fact he could have lived without. "You said that the sacrifices had to be the right type?"

"Well yeah, two have to be digimon and one needs to be human." Black shrugs. "But even before you can use the sacrifices, you need the key to wake me and my power. That key has to be a Renamon from a certain family... the same family as your mate."

"But wait," Axel was thinking now and remembering all that Dee had told him. "From what Dee had told me about the key, if it was indeed Rena, then she would have to give up her soul. She would have to mentally die so that you can take over her body and... well, become you."

"Ok... You got me there, yes that was supposed to happen." Yet Black was smiling, "I do need to take over a Renamon's body to exist... her body. But, see this too was one of the things that freed me from my fate."

"How can that be?" Axel asked. Things just weren't fitting together right. "You don't take over her body when you get loss, you take over mine."

"Yes I do... don't you see it Axel?" Black's eyes were now staring intently. "The night Rena gave her virginity to you, she also gave you part of her body."

Axel was suddenly quiet as the night of Rena's first heat flashed through his brain. How he let her seduce him, how she opened his heart and taught him to love again. But he didn't remember her giving him part of her... "No, you can't mean?"

"I do," the dark god nodded, "when Sakuyamon hit the power transformer, and the electricity forced the two of you apart. It was so abrupt that bits of her stayed in you and vice versa..."

"I know." Axel shivered, not wanting to relive the whole painful event. "That's how I became part digimon and Rena part human."

"Now then," Black continued for the human. "Since I was already sharing your body and soul, the fusion cracked opened a door that shouldn't have existed. It gave me a conduit to enter the real world without needing the sacrifices."

"Then why didn't you do that?" Axel was curious now. "Why didn't you take over right then and destroy the real world?"

"I couldn't at first," he replied with a shrug, "I had to wait until her code fully fused with your DNA. Yet before that could happen..."

*"Rena and I had sex," Axel finished for him. *

"That's right." Black sighed as he slowly turned and looked square on at himself. "Axel, when you digivolve into me, there should be no way for you to retake control. Yet because of Rena's love and need, it was you who got the sacrifice. That cracked open door suddenly exploded into something the legend hadn't foreseen... that of you becoming me. If the next sacrifice is again to you, I will cease to exist."

Axel sat ridged in completive silence, the only sound to be herd, was his own soft breathing. To suddenly be told that the darkness that had plagued his life, the vile thing that twisted inside him, was one fuck away from dying. God it was just too good to be true. But then what if it did leave him, what then? He had grown so used to it, it was apart of who he was, it defined him and gave him his edge.

"Wait..." Axel asked, "what if you get the next sacrifice?"

"It won't matter," shrugged BlackRenamon. "I don't know what it would take to undo the flux we are in... and to be frank, I would rather you finished what was started."

"You do... why?"

"Because I'm tired of what I am... and because of Rena," Black said, he was now looking down at his hands. "My feelings have grown for her, Axel. In all the lives that I have lived, never have I felt love from another being, its always been fear and hatred. Yet Rena loves me without question and without fear. The way that she makes me feel when we are together, to be loved so much, even though I'm supposed to destroy her and her world..."

"I," Axel couldn't help but smile, he knew how much Rena meant to him as well. "I understand, Rena has had an interesting effect on us both."

"Then you'll understand that I don't want to do anything that would ever hurt her," Black said in a soft voice. "But if someone else gains control of me, then..."

"I know. We can't let that happen." Axel nodded as he slowly stood up "There's only one choice left."

"Axel..." Black whimpered quietly, "I don't want to die, but there is no other way."

"Black, I have lived my whole life with you lurking in the shadows of my mind, my soul." Axel's voice was soft as he looked down at the BlackRenamon. In its sad state he didn't seem so evil, so... chaotic. Black was more like an incomplete puzzle, and Axel knew where the last few pieces could be found "I feared you, hated you, hated what I became when you got free."

"I'm... sorry." Black sighed, hanging his head in shame, ears drooping.

"As I got older I was forced to take reasonability for what you would do. So I fought you and learned to suppress you, control you..." Axel said. Then gently he reached out and placed a hand on Black's shoulder. "But I also know that without you I'm lost, incomplete."

"What?" Black looked up in surprise.

"What I'm saying is..." Slowly he slipped his hand off Black's shoulder, and held it out to the monster. "I need you. It's hard for me to say it, but I do need you. You are what make's me whole. In all my life there is one thing I couldn't bring myself to do... and that was to except and forgive you."

"BlackRenamon, you are the scourge of my past, the keeper of the shadows in my heart, and the reason I have found happiness in the arms of a digital monster..." Axel said as that warm, lopsided smile appeared on his face. "I now forgive you of all you have ever done in the past, and humbly ask that you please forgive me of the same."

"Do you realize what this will mean?" Black asked, one ear perking up.

*"Yeah, I do." Axel nodded. "It means I'll be stuck with you till the day I die, what a fucking tragedy." *

"And here I thought I'd do what's right for Rena's sake." Black chuckled as he took Axel's hand and stood. "But no... you have to go and one up me."

"Can't let you hog all the glory." Axel laughed. "So any ideas on were we go from here?"

*"Not a fucking clue," shrugged Black as he smiled back at himself. *

"Isn't life a bitch." Axel and Black both joked as they felt the jolt of power that sparked between their hands. Together they watched as their fingers began to liquefy and merge. Neither tried to pull away, for this was what they wanted, this was their choice. Without saying a word, their eyes locked on each other, human and digimon took a step forward and became one.

Now it was time to forge a new destiny, and to hell with fate.

** **** Axel & Rena. Chap 28**

Rena gave out a contented sigh and reached out, her hand slowly searching the bed she lay in for her mate's warm body. It took all of 5 seconds for her sleep filled mind to realize that he wasn't in bed with her. Groggily she opened one eye and looked over the small bed. As the haze of sleep cleared she found she was indeed without her husband.

"Axel?" she softly called out as she pushed herself up onto one elbow, her now sharp eyes searching the room. It didn't take long. He wasn't hard to miss standing there, framed by the huge window, his arms crossed over his shirtless chest and his eyes starring out at the passing landscape. "Axel, you ok?"

Nothing, it was like he didn't know she was there.

"Axel?" Rena blinked as she sat up, concern filling her for she was having trouble reading her mate.

"Hmmm..." he finally grunted a response. It wasn't that Axel was ignoring his new wife, no quite the opposite. Axel's only fault at this point was that he was trying to understand the newfound power now coursing through his body. And for the first time in his life, the darkness that usually ate at him was gone.

Well ok, it wasn't gone, for standing behind him like a benevolent spirit, was the ghostly image of Black. It surprised Axel that he could see the digi-god, even in the reflective surface of the large window before him. 'I wonder if this is how that Yugi kid feels,' he thought, remembering the cartoon, 'god this is unnerving...'

'Your telling me...' Black piped up as he looked down at his slightly opaque hands. 'I'd say that being like this is making me sick to my stomach... but I don't think I have one in this form...'

"Is something wrong?" she asked as she scooted over to the edge of the bed and stood.

"............."

** "It's Black isn't it?" she asked as she silently stepped up behind him and wrapped her fuzzy arms about his chest. "It's eating away at you again isn't it?"**

** "...No..." Axel whispered as he came back to reality, he couldn't suppress the shiver as he felt Rena press up against his back. "Black hasn't been a problem since..."**

"Since mating with Kimmy," she answered for him.

'No, since 5 minutes ago.' Black thought, then slowly smiled. 'God that girl was tight... almost thought I was going to rip her in two... wouldn't mind having another go with that fine piece of...'

'Not now Black!' Axel forced his answer.

"It will be ok Axel," Rena sighed as she pressed herself closer, hugging her mate "I'm sure Mary will forgive you."

"I don't care if she does or doesn't," his voice was flat and even. "Kimmy gave herself willingly... just as you knew she would..."

"What?" Rena tilted her head as she started to pull back.

"Rena?" he asked as he slowly turned to face her, his eyes searching hers. "When were you going to tell me?"

'...Oh nice going Axel,' Black thought as he tried to slap Axel's shoulder, yet his hand went strait through without connecting. 'You have no tact do you?'

"Tell... tell you what?" she blinked, the fur about her neck standing on end. "Axel, you're scaring me, what's going on?"

"Rena, Dee told me everything behind the legend of the BlackRenamon." Axel's tone was soft, almost to quiet as he tried to ignore the vice in his head. "How long were you going to keep the legend a secret?"

"I..I wasn't sure that you were..." she said as she took a hesitant step back, "I didn't want to believe, I didn't want to tell you until...

"Until when?" Axel demanded calmly. "Rena, you knew what I was the first night I digivolved, you even told Frank that I was a BlackRenamon... so why did you keep it a secret?"

'Hey!' Black smiled as he walked around the two lovers. 'I bet I know why...'

"Oh Axel, I'm so sorry," she blurted out as she rushed back over and hugged him again, her head pressed against his chest. "I suspected for so long, but I could only guess as to what you were. By the time I knew for sure, it was too late, we were already in Japan and I had no way to find you the required sacrifices. Do you realize how hard it would be to find two digimon and a human willing to have their virginity given to a monster in under 14 hours?"

'Close to impossible really.' Black answered.

'Black, please...' Axel sighed inwardly.

Axel was quiet as he slowly reached up and placed his arms about his lover. She was telling him the truth and he knew why she would have waited. She was afraid of losing him. And if he had known about the legend before going to Japan, he wouldn't have volunteered to help. As it was, there were people who were counting on him to save the lives of many children.

"Its ok love," he sighed as he gently gave her a kiss on her nose, "you were in the right. But now we both know what I am so there is no point in denying the facts."

'Err.. Axel,' Black whispered, 'I don't think she knows that we have... you know.'

"Axel?" she asked as she looked up "what are we going to do?"

"About what?"

"About the sacrifices?" she said as she tilted her head. "If we don't find two more soon, Josh could still succeed in his plans."

"No he won't" Axel said as he reached up and gave her ears a soft scritch.

"But...but?"

"Rena, we only need one more." he whispered, "Two of the sacrifices have been made."

"Two?" Rena blinked as she glanced up, confusion in her eyes. "Where did you find another virgin to pop... other than Kimmy?"

'Wow... I don't think she knows...' Black blinked, 'you might want to be subtle here.'

"Well I'll give you a hint," Axel shivered for a moment before continuing, "she is really close by and has a pleasantly dirty mind."

"LadyDevimon!?" Rena gasped as she turned to look at the partition door. "I didn't know she was still..."

"Rena.." Axel interjected

"Yes, what?" Rena tilted her head up, she was almost happy at the thought that there was only one more virgin needed to end the nightmare she dread.

"Kimmy was actually the second one... you were the first." He sighed, watching as her smile faded and her eyes widen. He really didn't want to do this, but she needed to know the truth. "But that's not all, as the youngest member of your family line, you were the key to waking Black. Your body was to be given to him so that he could poses it and become real."

"But Axel, that cant be," she shook her head in disbelief. "If I'm truly the key... then why did you become Black?"

"Because..." Axel's voice was soft as he explained. "he has been apart of me all my life, and the moment your code fuzzed to my DNA... I became the key."

'Oh my lord!' Black sighed as he slapped his forehead with a paw. Quickly he moved next to Axel, free hand waving. 'What the hell are you doing, this isn't subtle.'

'You know...' Axel sighed as he shot Black a look, 'I liked you better when you were just the strong silent type. When did you get so talkative?'

'Hey, up until this point I couldn't hear your thoughts and you couldn't hear mine.' Black blinked as he settled down. Slowly a smile began to cross his muzzle. 'Now I finally have someone to talk to... this is so cool.'

'Fine fine... I opened myself up to you, guess I'll just have to get used to this.' Axel thought. Taking a deep breath he returned his attention to his fox wife and the shock she was now in. 'Rena needs to know what her family had planned for her... and we need to be here for her... together.'

'Hmm... I think your right.' Black noted as he looked over at Rena. With a nod he stepped over and began to merge with Axel. 'Ok, I'll be quiet... for now.'

Rena was blinking in disbelief, her legs starting to wobble with weakness as the full impact of Axel's words sank in. Axel had managed, with just one sentence, to destroy all Rena had ever been taught to believe in. everything her mother, her family, her clan had ever told her about who she was and why she, a weak little runt, wasn't allowed to mate... it all came crumbling apart.

For the first time in her life she came to know why Taomon had refused to let her take a mate. It wasn't because Rena was a runt, it wasn't because she was weak... it was because she was meant to be the key. Rena had to remain pure so that if and when the great BlackRenamon ever did come to destroy the digi-world, she could be given up to stop him.

"Its all been a lie," Rena whispered, tears welling up in her eyes as the true horror of what her life meant to her clan unfolded before her. "My entire life has been a lie."

Gently Axel reached out and scooped the distraught digi-fox up before her legs could give out. It always seemed to amaze him that, for Rena's size, she never seemed to weigh much in his arms. Slowly he sat down on the edge of the bed and deposited the stunned Renamon in his lap. "No it hasn't Rena." came Axel's soft reply.

"Axel..." Rena looked to her mate, tears matting her fur as they ran unchecked down her cheeks. "Everything my mother ever told me... all my life meant to my clan... I'm just a tool for them to use."

"Rena, I won't dignify what they did to you," Axel said as he held her. "But I will argue that your entire life has been a lie."

"But it is," Rena wailed helplessly, "everything I've been taught, everything I know... everything I hold dear is a lie."

"Am I a lie?" Axel's voice as soft as he posed his question, "is our love and the happiness we have had at becoming mates a lie?"

"I don't... no," she shivered as she looked up into his blue eyes, "you are the only thing I have left to believe in. You are the one constant truth in my life."

"But I'm also the very thing your family wanted to use you against." Axel tilted his head as he peered at his fox. "Doesn't that mean that I am the reason your life has been a falsehood?"

"But?" Rena blinked.

"You were told lies and taught to believe certain things because they needed your innocence to take command of Black." Axel never took his eyes off Rena's as he spoke. "And that's exactly what you did... just not the way they wanted or expected. It was your love that truly conquered Black."

"But..."Rena protested

"Besides if your family hadn't treated you like an outcast," Axel continued, "then you wouldn't have left the digi-world and we wouldn't have met. If we hadn't met, we wouldn't have become partners... and if we hadn't become partners?"

"I wouldn't have been with you when my first heat came," Rena whispered as she took over, "and we would not have become mates..."

"That's right," Axel said quietly, "or husband and wife."

"So what your saying..." Rena said carefully, not wanting to get any of this wrong, "is that we owe our happiness to the falsehoods my clan put me through?"

"That about sums it up." Axel was smiling now, his lopsided grin showing.

Rena was quiet as she sat atop Axel's lap. It was all horribly and delightfully true. If her mother hadn't made her believe that she was too weak to deserve a mate, then she would have never come to earth to prove herself. In some screwed up way, she owed Taomon and the rest of her clan for her current bliss with Axel.

"Those bastards," She giggled as she clung to her mate, "I'll get them for this."

*"So..." Axel began. Now that Rena's mood was starting to lighten, he had one more question that needed answering. This one was the one thing that bothered him most. "Rena, how is it that you were able to interpret the legend of the BlackRenamon so differently than everyone else?" *

'I'd like to know that one my self.' Black said from the back of Axel's mind

'Shhh...' Axel shot back.

"Hmm?" Rena blinked as she whipped her cheeks free of tears. Tilting her head to one side in thought. "Oh, you mean, how did I know that the legend call not for the sacrificing of three innocent lives... but their virginity?"

"Yeah" he nodded.

"Well there were several clues in the legend that couldn't be explained," she said as she twisted around in Axel's lap to face him. "One being that the child of light would come forth from one of the three chosen."

"Child of light?" Axel asked.

'Yeah,' nodded Black, 'where I'm the creature of death, one of my offspring will be the creature of life.'

"Sorry love," Rena smiled meekly, "I don't know that legend... was kinda preoccupied with another."

"Err... ok," he nodded again, "and the other clues?"

"The other clues are more vague." Rena went on as she snuggled up against Axel. "However, the biggest clue came not from any old legend, but from one of your dirty movies you keep in your art room... in the bottom of that flat filing cabinet."

"It did?" Axel squeaked in surprise.

'Damn, busted!' Black teased.

"Yep," smiled Rena as she playfully wiggled her hips into his lap. "Strangely enough, it's the one called 'The Loss of Innocence'. It's quite an interesting video... taught me a lot about self pleasure and how to please you... though I never can get through the whole thing without... err."

"I think I get it," Axel was now all smiles.

"Yes you do, whenever you want it." Rena was now in a teasing mood, which was slowly growing toward something else. "So... now we need just one more virgin to complete things, right?"

"Mmmhmm," Axel murmured his agreement as he locked his arms about his mate's waist.

"Do you have anyone you would like to pop?" Rena was grinding her hips into Axel and could feel him responding. "Anyone who is close at hand?"

'How about Cleo?' Black asked, 'could we do Cleo? Wouldn't mind getting my claws on her nice Angewomon ass.'

"Not really," he whispered as he closed his eye and laid his head forward onto her shoulder. "You got any thoughts?"

"I know of one with a heavenly body," Rena couldn't believe that after all that had just happened tonight... that she was get so worked up over discussing who should be the next virgin sacrifice. "She is a real angel..."

'Woohoo!!' Black cheered happily. 'Yes, yes, yes!!!'

"You mean Cleo?" Axel almost froze at the name.

"Yes I do," Nodded Rena as she gently slipped her hands down between their pressing bodies, trying desperately to get at Axel's zipper and the growing organ beneath it. "Besides, I already promised her one night with you."

'Oh this just keeps getting better!'

"What!" Axel eyes flew open as he pulled back from his mate. "When did this happen?"

"A few nights before that fight with Alomon." By now Rena had his zipper down and was unhooking his belt. To her relief, Axel's cock had not deflated with the mentioning of Cleo or the pre-agreed mating... if anything it was throbbing harder. "I started feeling frisky while you were at the Post talking with your editor and well... she helped me out. Besides you said it was ok if Cleo and I had fun together."

'Can I have Cleo, please Axel... please?' Black begged from the back of Axel's mind. 'I promise to be a good little dark digi-god'

Axel was suddenly at a loss. He had told Rena that he didn't mind seeing her with Cleo that first day, and he had given her permission to seek Cleo's help if and when he wasn't around to tend to her needs. But to know that Rena had promised the little Gatomon one night with him... it was unthinkable, completely unheard of...god what a turn on.

'Hey...hello?'

'What?'

'Can I have Angewomon?'

'Hmmm... I guess.'

'ALL RIGHT!!!'

'Now if you don't mind...' Axel sighed, 'can we please concentrate on the needs of my... I mean, our wife?'

'Oh right...' Black agreed happily,

"Is there any one else you gave this promise to," he asked as he picked Rena up off his lap and tossed the fox into the bed. Axel quickly stood up long enough to remove his clothes.

"Just one other," Rena nodded, she smiled as she looked up at Axel's naked form, loving how his cock seemed to point at her.

"Let me guess," Axel sighed as he slipped into bed and began to crawl up over her fuzzy yellow body. "Might it have been my 15 year old niece?"

"I think it was." Rena's heart was racing as she spread her legs, inviting her mate to take her as he wished.

"God Rena..." he whispered as he poised his body over hers, "why did you do it?"

"Because sooner or later I will become pregnant and wont be able to fulfill your needs..." Rena breathed as she reached up and gently pulled Axel down atop her. She could never tell whether it was a feeling of security, or love... Either way, she enjoyed how Axel's weight felt as it pressed down on her. "As the Alpha female in your pack I needed to find you suitable replacements for when I can't perform... and since you can't get them pregnant, that makes them the perfect choices."

** "Rena, you are one devious bitch," Axel should have been mad, but instead he was smiling brightly, "maybe Kimmy was right..."**
