With everything that's going on with digimon and all that you sometimes forget I'm still a middle school student. I'm actually in class right now listening to my teachers lecture. It's just history so it's nothing to important honestly. To me that is, it's not like for a job interview they'll ask me 'What exactly was Miyamoto Musashi best known for?' Seriously this and math is lame! After sometime based it was finally over I got out of my seat and dipped out as fast as I could.

"I'm free!"- (y/n)

I started to run out of the school and make a B-line for my house. I didn't even bother to try and talk to my other friend just straight home.

"Yo boss what's up?"- Herissmon

I stopped dead in my tracks and slowly turned my head to the left and saw my partner sitting on the ground eating pound cake.

".........."- (y/n)

".........."- Herissmon

"............."- (y/n)

"..............."- Herissmon

I took hold of Herissmon and started to pinch his nose. He always does stupid crap like this, just so you know we're not near my house. Infact it's a good distance away which means this dumb little hedgehog came here by himself.

"Ouch ouch!! I'm sorry boss I'm sorry!!!"- Herissmon

"Sorry my butt you dumb yellow rat!! What did I tell you about leaving home without someone with you!?"- (y/n)

"Your mom and sister are gone and I got board just sitting around so I went to get some air!"- Herissmon

"Wait what? *Stops pinching his nose* what do you mean my family's gone?"- (y/n)

"Your sister had a doctor's appointment today. Judging from your mom's reaction she didn't know it was needed. So I was left by myself with nothing to do."- Herissmon

"Oh, then in that case I'm sorry."- (y/n)

"Hey don't sweat it. Like my master once said. Bickering amongst friends is natural, it's only when you turn that into hate is where the friendship stops."- Herissmon

"Your master sounds very old."- (y/n)

"He might be hahaha!"- Herissmon

I put Herissmon on my shoulder and started to walk back to my house. Although as we were walking we did talk a bit, but to prevent myself from getting weird looks on the street I always had my phone to my ear. At least that way it makes it look like I'm talking to someone on the phone and not the hedgehog that's riding on my shoulder. Actually if anything people just think he's a stuffed animal, funny story I found Herissmon on the street and he was starving to death. Once I found out he was a digimon we agreed to become partners.

"Hey boss what's that?"- Herissmon

"Huh?"- (y/n)

I took a look to where he was pointing and I saw smoke coming out of an underground parking lot. Is it a fire, did a car explode from the gas leaking!? Whatever it is it's bound to be people down there probably, so without hesitating it started to run there and cover my mouth so I wouldn't breathe in the smoke. Farther in I got I could have sworn I heard a guns firing. Was there's some kind of shootout going on even if so gunfire alone wouldn't be able to cause this kind of smoke.

I can believe this is happening out of nowhere that little green thing digivolve into a weird looking thing and started to shoot the whole area. And it's not even aimed at Renamon or anything, he's shooting at random. Renamon tried to get him by clawing at his eyes but it didn't do anything. In fact he managed to get her off his back and went straight back to shooting it random. That was until he saw me and had his gun arms pointing directly at me. I started to back away until my back hit a support beam while he was getting closer and closer.

I felt my heart starting to race and my breathing just got heavier and heavier. My chest was getting tight and my knee started to shake. Was this really how I was going to die?

'Somebody.'- Rika

""- Gargomon

'Anybody.'- Rika

"*Gets closer*"- Gargomon

"Help me!!"- Rika

"Needle-point dive!"- Herissmon

Out of nowhere a small spiked ball came and hit Gargomon away from me just in time. I looked so where it came from and saw someone I didn't expect to see today.

"(Y/n)?"- Rika

"*Painting*......what....the hell.....is going on here?"- (y/n)

"Dude what's your problem!? Do you know how much money a car is worth!? And you just decide to go ahead and shoot up the entire parking lot!"- Herissmon

'Herissmon too?'- Rika

"Good thing you showed up when you did."- Takato

"I'll say."- Gargomon tamer

"Rika!?"- (y/n)

(Y/n) ran over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. If he didn't show up would I have died? I was still breathing heavily and my legs wouldn't stop shacking. Am I having a panic attack?

"Hey, Rika look at me."- (y/n)

"I.....I thought that I."- Rika

"It's okay it's okay your fine."- (y/n)

I didn't expect what happened next, he started to pull me into a hug, but my head was next to his heart. All I could hear was the sound of it beating it was a little fast, but it was slowing down a bit.

"Oh crap! Yo boss we have to go!!"- Herissmon

"You heard the Mon everyone scatter!"- (y/n)

Before I could even do anything (y/n) took me by the hand and started to run taking me with him.

Good thing my house wasn't that fair away from where the fight happened. Speaking of, Rika seemed to be still pretty shaken up about everything that just transpired. So I figured I'd take her back to my home and let her cool off here, which in hindsight I didn't really think much about. Or I live is relatively small compared to other houses.

As you can see my family is pretty poor. Just by looking at this apartment complex you would think it's a small apartment, but no quite the opposite actually. My home has two bedrooms a living room and one bathroom, the living room and the kitchen are all in the same place so it's not really a living room. Considering I'm the only male in the house, I obviously get my own room while my mom and little sister share a room. More on that later cuz I'm currently looking to see what we have to drink.

"Let's see. Tea, water, juice, soda. Hey Rika what do you feel like?"- (y/n)

".........."- Rika

"Hm, well I guess soda is fine then hehehe."- (y/n)

I've never really had to deal with something like this before I mean what 13-year-old has. She came face to face with a near-death experience at the hands of a digimon no less.

"It's a...cola I thought you could use something with a kick to it."- (y/n)

Rika didn't say anything again and just took the soda. I mean at least she's drinking it or at least trying to that is. I decided to take a seat next to her and wait for her to talk, time went by and it was nothing but quiet.

"Where's your family?"- Rika

"My mom had to take my sister to a doctor's appointment. They shouldn't be out too long."- (y/n)

"I see......what about Renamon? Do you know where she is?"- Rika

"Well considering the two of us left both Renamon and Herissmon alone back at that parking lot. My guess is Herissmon took her to his hangout spot when he's not here."- (y/n)

"Hang out spot? You let your digimon walk around freely?"- Rika

"Well kinda. Do I let him walk around freely, yes. But I made sure to tell him to stay close to the house if he does. Or at least somewhere near it."- (y/n)

"You trust him that much?"- Rika

"I have too. After all we're partners. And partners need to trust each other, I mean don't you trust Renamon?"- (y/n)

"I.......um...."- Rika

It got quiet again I need to do something to make the tension in this room go down. That's what I thought I was going to have to do until she spoke up once more.

"What was it like?"- Rika

"Hm?"- (y/n)

"When your digimon digivolved. Did he, go berserk?"- Rika

"You mean like Gargomon?"- (y/n)

I probably shouldn't have said that cuz I saw her grip the can a bit tighter then she was. Not only that but her eyes went a little wide, although I took hold of her hand and tried to calm her down.

"Easy now it's fine your safe. No, Herissmon didn't act like that. In fact he was the same as he was before he Digivolved."- (y/n)

"Then why.......no .....why is it that you."- Rika

"Rika?"- (y/n)

"Why is it that you can make your Digimon digivolve and I can't!?"- Rika

"......... Can I ask you something? And wondering about to ask might seem a bit personal towards you. That's depending on how you look at it that is."- (y/n)

"What?"- Rika

"Why are you so obsessed with making a Renamon evole? I mean yeah to get stronger, but why?"- (y/n)

"That easy because I......... b-because......"- Rika

Rika seemed to have shut down for a second. It looks like she knew what she was about to say until she put some more thought into it. Does she not know why she's trying to make Renamon digivolve? Or does she not want to tell me? Either way I didn't want to push it so I just dropped it then and there. Good news is the moment of silence ended thanks to the sound of my front door being unlocked. When it opened my little sister walked in holding a small bag of something. And right behind her was a woman who is average height, has a slender build, and green eyes. Her natural hair color is blonde, but her roots are dyed black. In other words my mom Miyako Ishii.

"Hey, mom welcome home."- (y/n)

"Thanks oh I got groceries for."- Mom

My mom stopped talking the second she looked at Rika sitting at the table. My mom blinked a couple of times before she walked over to me and dragged me out of the house with Emi following.

"Excuse us."- Mom

"O-okay."- Rika

"What the heck are you doing bringing a girl over!?"- mom

"Yeah and why didn't I know you had a girlfriend!?"- Emi

"Girlfriend!? Rika isn't my girlfriend she's just a friend."- (y/n)

"Oh really, then you don't mind explaining what the two of you or doing before we showed up?"- mom

"Nothing we were just sitting and talking that's all. She kinda got mixed up in a very bad experience and I was there so to stop it. So I figured I'd bring her here to try and help her relax you know?"- (y/n)

"And what exactly is this bad experience hmmm!?"- Emi

"Okay you little leech I don't have to tell you that because that is personal information."- (y/n)

"Ouch!"- Emi

" Well, if that's the case. I can't in good conscience be mad at you. What you did is a very good thing son. Did you contact her parents?"- mom

"No, I was honestly planning on taking her back home, but you guys showed up."- (y/n)

"Well if that's the case, why don't we see if she wants to stay for dinner."- mom

"Wait mom I don't know if that's a good idea."- (y/n)

"Oh nonsense. We'll just see if her parents are okay with her staying for dinner and if they are, when she's done eating I'll drive her back home myself."- mom

"Mom!"- (y/n)

"I can't hear you~."- mom

And without another thought my mom went inside and started to talk to Rika. One thing about my mom is that she can be overly nice at times, don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it's overbearing. Although I feel like it's mainly because I brought a girl over for the first time ever. Takato's come over to my house a long time ago, but other than that it was just him I don't really invite people over. I just hope Herissmon and Renamon are having fun.
