Chapter 7

Al saw flashes right in front of his eyes, then suddenly felt relax without a reason. His head were somehow being pulled backward in order to rest his head at the seat. ‘Of course I completely forgot that I sat at the arcade trying a new game.' He said in his thoughts. Then slowly the goggles lift from his head. He looked at the place he was seated, ‘It's a great game, although a little bit woozy because of the game and flashes.' his comments about the after game. When he tried to stretch his arm, he felt like he hit something not far from the joy pad. Al looked at the joy pad of his right and saw a white color hand held device stick out from the machine. Al reached the hand held and looked closely. It almost similar to mobile phone but the case is complete white. When Al saw the boy before him, the device were colored unless there are reasons for the white base case. Then Al remember that boy in a sudden then move away the device and saw a card appeared from the card slot. He looked at the card and saw a picture of Angemon spreading its three paired wings and named ‘Wing of Salvation'. Al did not know what it is for and then put it inside his bag. ‘Wait. Gatomon said that she owe me an explanations. If she is in that game, does that mean she is not far from here?' Al quickly rose from the seat and saw that Kari was sitting at his left.

"Miss Kamiya! What are you doing here?" Al asked with a big surprise to see her in the arcade playing the same game.

Kari let out a sigh of relief after the game. "Nice battle out there, Alphonse," she said in calm and relieved voice. "I saw everything and I really in your debt somehow for protecting Gatomon, my friend."

"Tell me one thing, Miss Kamiya. Are there more just like you in this city?" he asked feeling a little bit angry about what happened just now in the game.

"Guilmon already told me about your action when he introduce you. So all I could say is yes."

"So about the glitches that happened in the game, does it really happen very often?" Al asked and Kari replied with a simple quiet shake.

"And do you know where the sources coming from?"

"From the character that played the online game," she replied with no further comments.

"Is there any case about the situation?" and she only shake her head.

"Why not?" he asked in confusion tighten his grip to the hand held.

"Just like you. People that got hit by the glitches ended up in full exhaustion or slightly dizzy after they played the Battle Arena. The true source came from the online game and infected this game quite rare. Until we find the source, this is the only thing we have to do. For the sake of innocent life, and that include you."

"I don't believe this story. Are you saying that you didn't found the source yet?"

"Like we have a choice? All of my friends are doing their best on finding the source, and furthermore this game just launched its premier at New Years Eve. So we still keep on looking night and days without resting."

He can't resist anymore as his tears start to flowing, "Tell me what I should do?"

"Leave everything to us and you shouldn't get involved in this situation any further," said Kari realizing that he is in deep shock.

"It's kind of late for that don't you think, Kari?" he said in full of rage and regrets. "I saw everything and almost lost my new friend Gatomon and Beelzebmon. Before that, I made a promise that cannot be broke. I have gone too deep and it is too late to turn back now." Tears keep running over his cheek after he said that. The he fled from the arcade dropping the hand held without notice, and away from the district.

"I think we really owe him a lot of explanations. Although I'm happy when he said about me being his friend besides the tamers," said Gatomon in a sad tone from her D â€" Server.

"It can't be helped, Gatomon. We can't let any other people involve in the mission," said Kari somehow feeling regret about everything.

"When he saw me collapse, I can feel that he is in a lot of shock as if something similar happened before. Like he said, there is no turning back for him."

"I know," she said feeling guilty about everything he encountered today. "Call Renamon, I need her to help us find his house." Said Kari to Gatomon which make her happy and pick up his hand held that look like a digivice D â€" Server except it didn't have holes for microphone and speakers also had a card reader. "Looks like I do really need to apologize for everything that happened today. But I need to discuss this with the others when we're online."

+++++++++++

Al keeps on running away since that incident on the arcade. He keeps on running passing all people that he knew and without caring whether he bumped in to someone and fall. From noon to dusk he keeps on running and running still in pain and agony because he didn't want to accept of what had happen today. He ran into a park which possibly less people than daylight. After he reaches to one of the fountain, he stopped and then screaming out loud until his lung felt deflated. He felt a little relief from the pain he got from the game, then sit at the side of the fountain trying to rest after running. After taking his breath from the night wind, he looked at the sky. The moon and stars were shining bright tonight without any clouds hiding its beauties, making him more relief and relax.

"Feeling better now, human?" a female voice coming out of nowhere in the park. He heard it clearly but he didn't surprise ever since Gatomon gave lots of surprises for one day. But the problem is that it wasn't Gatomon's voice he heard, it was someone else.

"I'm feeling better alright until I heard you talking, digimon," said Al still looking where that voice came from.

"So the reports were true then, that you already aware of our existence. And like my partner you didn't surprise when I snuck up on you." The voice somehow came from the bushes at the other side of the fountain. But Al can't see who it was because of the moon didn't shine bright enough to illuminate the bushes.

"Well I had enough of excitement for one day today, if you heard the report(with quote signature gesture) that is."

"Looks like you also knew about our activities as well."

"Since you knew everything about me, why don't you show your face? I already know where you're hiding." Said Al feeling a little annoyed and curious of the voice owner. The bushes at the other side of the fountain began to rustle and slowly a tall figure appears at the side of the bushes. When the moon finally illuminates the figure, Al only felt a little awkward by its figure. An anthropomorphic-like fox appeared in front of him or more like a vixen when he remembered the voice before. Her body was covered with yellow fur. Her hands, feet, torso, stomach, tip of the ears, and tip of her tail were covered with white fur. Pair of purple sleeve with Taoist insignia covered her arms from wrist to her upper shoulder. Her thighs also had a modified version insignia like her sleeve. There are extra fur grew on her shoulder like a wing. Her eyes were icy blue sapphire and her white mane covered her neck and upper torso to complete her figures.

Al began to ask after studying her figures, "You know that you're supposed to be a cold heart character. But why you asked my feelings the first time you talk with me?"

"Let's just say I had the same issue from my past." She answered and then walked forward. "By the way, my name is Renamon, I'm a fox digimon. And I'm sorry about my appearances were like this since the day I've been created." She added while showing her three finger hand for a hand shake gesture and Al accept her greet without a doubt.

"So what brings you here from the start?" asked Al without looking at her directly.

"Well, my partner wants to know you better but she didn't know exactly where you live," said Renamon excusing about her real intention.

"Was it your partner or others?" he asked knowing the situation makes him become an eye witness. "Looks like you can't lie. Why don't you asked Kari about my address. She is a teacher if you know her that is."

"Very observant, you are. It's true that she is a teacher but do not forget that she just work at you school. Furthermore, it will rain soon."

"Now what's make you think that I would believe your forecast?"

"I can read winds and I smell watered soil miles from here. Also you could say that I don't like rain," she said then suddenly a medium breeze is blowing, shaking the trees around the park.

"Guess you are right though," said Al that didn't want to argue any further. "Well I'm guessing that my house is still a mile or two from here. We can reach it before it starts," thus both of them running to Al's house in order to avoid rain. When they reach half way from the park, mass of clouds began to cover the sky.

"We are almost there though." He said while running when he heard a thunder, when they finally reached at Al's house a small light rain start to fall. "Finally we've reach my house. Better get inside before it gets bigger." Al grabbed for his keys in his bag, unlocked the door then went in.

As usual someone greets him when he is home. "Honey, is that you?" his mother asked cooking some dinner.

"Oh man! I forgot about mom," he said in whispers. "Yes it's me, mom." Then he looked at Renamon but she is nowhere in sight anymore. ‘Wow. That was fast.'

"Where have you been?" she asked.

"I went to the shopping district with Vinnie and have some fun together." He answered try to act normally but he can't when a sudden chill rush out to his mouth.

"Were you shaking just now?" she asked in concern.

"It must be the rain," he said trying to find an excuse first then the rain hit him. "I went to the park before coming home, taking some breeze. You know that it's hot today."

"Then you should quickly take a bath. You don't want to catch a cold, do you?"

"Right away mom," said Al finishing the conversation then rushing to his room. He opened his dark room, turn on the light then close the door.

"Phew. That was close," said in whisper feeling a little relief. "Where the hell are you, Renamon?" he called in whisper.

"I'm right here, Al," she replied then suddenly appeared right in front of him.

Al wanted to scream in surprise because of her sudden appearance. But he quickly covered his mouth to prevent it.

After he is finally calm down, he let go of his mouth. "Jeez! Don't do that!" he said quietly in anger tried to scold Renamon. "Are you intending to kill me, because you just gave me a heart attack?"

"Sorry about that." Renamon replied.

"Huss... Keep your voice down. We don't want you to be seen or heard remember?" he said still in whispers because he doesn't want his mother to hear that he brought someone home.

"Sorry again." she replied this time in whispers.

"Okay. First of all, how did you do that?" he asked.

"We Renamon act stealthily like what you called a ninja. We always hide if there are others that we didn't trust." She explained slowly.

"I see. No wonder that you were gone when my mom asked about me. So that means that you trust me?" he asked calmly.

"Not just yet though." She replied then she sat at his bed leg crossed. "So this is your room. It's kind of spacious don't you think?" she looked around his room.

"Thank you for your comment." He said then went to the drawer to take his underwear and towel. "Do you want to take a bath? I guess that some rain drop got in to your fur. I suggest we should take a bath together for less suspicion." He then gave her the towel.

"Fine by me, but where is yours?" she asked accepting the towel.

"Mine is this." He replied then grabbed the towel at the chair. He walks out of the bedroom and straight to the bathroom. "You go first, of course if you know how to use it." He said.

"Of course I know how to use it." She said in angry tone.

"Okay then, use my shampoo as your soap. Don't worry, I won't peek." He said then turned around facing the door.

She turned on the shower, adjusting the water so she felt warm and comfortable when bathing. She took about 20 minutes from soaking her fur to cover her body with shampoo.

"Al, can you wash my back please" Al was a little bit surprise when she asked that.

"What? You know that I can't do that." He explained. "It's already against the rule that men and women shouldn't take a bath together. And now you want me to scrub your back as well?"

"Well who else I should asked for help, your mother?"

"Oh... Alright then, but I'm going to regret this." He said then walked to the shower with only his towel. He squirts some shampoo then washed her back. He finally saw her true body when her fur dropped down because of the water. It's true that she had a sexy figure from top to bottom, but luckily her fur covers her personal parts which making him less attracted by her figure.

"So tell me something." She said trying to start some conversation. "Why did you accept my paw when I greet you?"

"To tell you the truth, I already know that you work with Miss Kamiya when you said about report. Still I don't like the way you guys acted but eventually I will understand someday." He explained while scrubbing her back.

"Second, how do you know that it will rain soon? I could be lying you know."

"It's elementary. When the weather was completely hot in day, clouds are getting attracted because of the heat and stop at the highest heat source then rain fall, at least. There it's done." He said then walked away.

"Quite an observant indeed," she said then she rinses the bubbles until she is completely bubbles free. "There, I'm finish. Help me dry up and you can use the bath."

Al used his towel as Renamon used her to dry her fur. "It's almost dry, guess you need a hair dryer to finish it up." Said Al then go to the shower washing his body from top to bottom in short time while Renamon reach the hair dryer to dry her fur completely. After Al finished his bath in a hurry, he helped Renamon dried her back fur since she can't see her back directly. "Sorry that I didn't have any brush to comb you. But I guess you are good to go now."

Al walks out of the bathroom and saw that his mother is already set the table and waiting him. "Do you feeling better now, dear?" asked his mother while putting the dinner at the table.

"Yeah, a little bit mom. Thanks." He said while drying himself up.

"I'm glad to hear that. After all I don't want you to get sick because of the weather, especially when season changes," said his mother feeling relief.

"Its okay mom, you are way over protective." Said Al then sat down facing his mom at the table. "Besides, I won't get any cold now when I'm fully health." Then he looked at the menu for tonight, "Hmm... Salad roll, chicken meat loaf, and scrambled egg. I know scrambled eggs were from omelet that you always wanted to tried, but chicken?" comments Al after seeing the menu.

"The chicken meat that I saw was cheap, so I bought some for our dinner." She said in joy.

"I see. So your boss gave you extra money for a job well done." He said knowing her full well that she works to please her manager, and then starts to eat. "Speaking of job, how come you went home early?"

"Guess your observation was passed down from your father. It's true that my boss gave extra funds for my effort, and I also came home earlier thanks to my boss." Her mother answered while pouring some cold tea.

"It seems that your current boss gave you too much credits, mom. Better watch his attitude, after all your face didn't match your age." He said with a little smirk.

"Ha-ha... laughs it all you want about my age. Although I will watch his attitude from now on," she said accepting his advices.

"The taste of the salad roll is great, mom. Where did you learn how to make it?"

"Well, I learn from my friend, and she also kindly enough to give her recipe. Also with a little subtract and adding for our taste."

"I see. By the way mom, do you happen to have an extra sausage in the fridge?" he asked remembered that he had an extra mouth to feed.

"Yes, I guess. Why do you ask?" she asked the purpose.

"I will stay up late for my readings and probably I will get hungry later on. So in short it's for a late night snacks." He said trying to get some food for Renamon.

"Well you could get some bread if you were hungry later on." She said for better suggestion.

"Yeah that works out fine." He said calmly. ‘I wonder if Renamon like some bread.' He asked in thoughts. "May I bring it with me after dinner?"

"What's with the polite act?" she asked in suspicion since she knows his ignorance personalities.

"Just trying to change little by little," he said trying to avoid any further questions from her.

"Fine, I'll accept that for now. But you better tell me some day okay?" she said wanting to trust her son more and more.

"I will, when the time is right mom." He said feeling a little guilty for his lies. After 40 minutes dinner time, Al help her cleaning the dishes. Then grab some bread, sausages, also a bottle of water for his late night snacks. "I'll be going mom." He said while bringing the snacks in to his room.

"All right, good night dear." She said.

Al went straight to his room while bringing some snacks from the kitchen. Al opened the door just to see that Renamon is already sitting on the bed waiting in patience. When Al closed the door behind him, he start to whisper, "Looks like you already know that I was coming." And Renamon replied in a single nod. He brought the snacks and put it on his desk. "Sorry for the wait. This is all that I could bring." He said while switching the desk lamp on. "I don't know what kind of food that you like to eat. But I do hope that you like some breads." He continues while going to switch the light room out.

"Actually, I can eat breads since I have adapted to this world." She said and her pupils start to expand a little when the lights turned off.

"I'm glad that you like it. But just in case that you are a vixen I brought two or three sausages for the meat flavor." He said feeling relief and headed to closet door which different from the door he entered.

"What are you doing and why do switch the lights off?" she asked while taking one of the bread and start to unwrapped.

"Pulling out some extra mattress, and secondly my mother knows me well that I prefer dim light when I'm going to sleep. So just in case," he said pulling out the mattress from the closet and placed it at the side of his bed. Then he took extra sheet, pillow and blanket and making the bed.

"You know that you shouldn't work yourself that hard since I rarely sleep." She explained then starts to eat the bread. "Mm... Blueberry jam is one of his favorites."

"HIS?" Al asked with a curious looked.

"One of my companions used to eat breads a lot. Though he is kind of childish to me that am," she said telling him the truth.

"Really, I would love to see more of him and his tamer." Al said still making the bed.

"If Antylamon said was true, then I guess you already met his tamer." She said finishing her bread.

"Huh...? I've already met him?" he asked in puzzle looked. Then he tried to remember again whom he met earlier that day making him stop from his doing.

*Flashback*

"Look whose decide to drop by at the cake shop," said a man voice unfamiliar to Al and Vinnie.

They all looked at the source of the voice that happens to be inside of the shop. "I didn't know that you worked here, Takato," said Kari quite surprise to see Takato wearing a white apron. "And that apron looks good on you too."

*End Flashback*

"Wait a minute. You mean that Takato person that work at the cake shop?" he said after remembering one specific person that friend of Kari.

"The one and only," she said while taking the second bread.

"I knew I felt uneasy when he said that he is a friend of Miss Kamiya," said Al finally answering his suspicion. "But why didn't I see his digimon around him?"

"He is there, but inside the D â€" Server so people don't get a lot of suspicion." She said start munching the next bread. "Hmm...? He will definitely eat this peanut filling with one bite."

"Guess you know your companions a lot." Said Al then continue making the bed.

"Since the day I met him that is." she said while munching the bread with a sad looked remembering her recent events.

"All right, I won't ask again. Besides I've finish my bed." He said understanding her expression.

"Your bed, I thought this is your bed?" She asked while pointing the bed she was sat on.

"True. But I let you use it as your bed for tonight. While I slept at the extra bed," he said explaining the reason why he pulled out the mattress.

"But I ..." she wanted to argue but her speeches were halt when Al lifted his hand facing right in front of her, halting her tongue.

"You should know from Miss Kamiya that I swear an oath to her. Second you are my guest and I should treat my guest properly. And third you are a female, doesn't matter that you are a human or digimon and I treated female with respect." He explained his reasons. "Now if you don't mind. I would like to go to bed." He then lay down on the bed he was making before and start to cover himself with blanket.

After a moment silent she starts to talk again while taking some sausage. "Al, can I asked about how you felt when you know first time that we exist?"

Al looked at the ceiling sighing and said, "The first time I heard that you all were real. I was extremely surprise and disbelief, after Gatomon appeared in front of me. I usually heard digimons only through TV news and mostly they were lying just to raise their attentions." He then looked at Renamon. "Come to think of it, Digimon always appeared not far from the disaster as if you are some sort of invaders or aliens. But after seeing three other digimons including you of course, I felt like all of you were the same as us except trying to be a heroes or something." He said that in smile. "But after the game I felt really sick when you said that you can't deal this incident and always tried to hide the facts by reprogramming the game till it is looks like normal like before it went haywire." He continued in a sad and angry tone. "I can still feel the pain like scratch that Woodmon gave to me when I was in the game. It is true that you can't see it but somehow I can still feel the pain." He said holding his left cheek then looked back again at the ceiling.

Without Al notice, Renamon crawled down and crept closer to Al. she hold his hand that touch the cheek and then kissed his cheek slowly and calmly. That really makes him surprise beyond expectation, but somehow he didn't object for her action. His cheek were being kissed by a vixen digimon that completely stranger to him. Her fur were tingling his face making him felt awkward and embarrass for his reaction. She kept kissing his cheek for a while then she parted. Al slowly turned his head and looked at her face. Al didn't saw her expression because of her cold attitude but somehow he could tell that she smiles a bit.

"Feeling a little better, Al?" she asked with a small soft voice right in front of him.

"W-what did you just do?"Al asked slowly trying to regain himself from his trance. Then she smiled lightly

"I believe that is what a mother does whenever her young one hurt." She said explaining her action with a smile.

"Where on earth did you learn that thing?" he asked finally gaining his sense.

"From this world, you silly," he answered with a little chuckled.

"Have you ever been told not to do that to others, especially when they were a complete stranger to you," he asked again with a little louder in whisper.

"No I haven't, but I do believe in one thing. That you are a nice person from the first time I met you." She said smiling and slowly opened her eyes.

Al was completely awestruck for her eyes were not so icy cold like usual. Her eyes were more like an ocean sapphire eyes. Then he felt something weird coming from his own body making him suddenly blush even deeper then turned his away from her. ‘What the... What is happening to me?! Why do I felt strange if she so close like that,' he said in his thoughts.

"Now if you don't mind, I am going to bed." She then woke up and headed to her bed which technically it was Al's bed.

Al didn't know what to say before until he found suitable words for him, "Thank you, Renamon, and good night." He said with a small, soft and comfort voice and then went to sleep.

She then looked at him from her bed and saw that he still blushing. But she smiled and became blushed when he thanking her. After that she went to sleep as well.
