After writing 10 parts to the Axel and Rena story... 20 chapters, I finally decided to do as many of you have hinted at. I got myself an editor.

Axel & Rena. Chap 21

Kimmy sighed as she walked into the showers and looked for a stall that was out of view from the other room. Following along behind her with a small bottle of milk in her paws was her Gatomon, Cleo. "You know you don't need to come in here Cleo." Said the girl as she set down her backpack and began to lift her dress up over her head.

"Yeah, yeah... I know," sighed the digi-cat between sips of her milk. She was watching her tamer shed her bra and panties with interested eyes. "But you know that I like to watch."

** "Yes you do," giggled Kimmy as she tiptoed over the cool floor tiles to the knobs on the wall and stepped under the warm spray of water. "I just wish you liked water."**

** "Why would you wish that?" blinked Cleo as she backed away from the splashing shower.**

** "So thatwe could bathe together," Kimmy smiled as she soaped up a washcloth and began to work on her young body. "Just like Axel and Rena."**

** "I see..." smiled the digi-cat, her tail swishing as she watched, a familiar tickle forming in the put of her tummy. "I take it you have been spying on them while they bathe?"**

** "I... I have." Blushed the girl as she gently washed her breasts.**

** "And?" pressed the Gatomon as she licked her lips.**

** "And they make it seem so... sensual." Sighed Kimmy as she moved the cloth down0 her belly. "The way they care for each other, the way they move together, the way she pants his name as he..."**

** "Cleo?" Kimmy blinked in surprise as she felt a paw gently slide up to her thigh. Looking down she saw Cleo standing under the spray with her. Slowly Kimmy bent down and picked up her Gatomon, cradling the cat in her arms as the warm water cascaded down about them. "But... but I**

thought you didn't like water?"

"I don't," shivered the digi-cat as she pressed herself into her tamers perky breasts, "but I love you and I'm willing to try anything... once."

"And that's what I love most about you." Smiled the teen as she reached up to give Cleo a scritch behind her now wet ears. "So what do you think?"

"It's wet..." Cleo sighed happily as she tilted her head into the scratching. "May I ask... why are you taking another shower after you had one this morning?"

"You're right, I did." Nodded Kimmy, "I just needed to relax, my tummy is all full of butterflies."

"You know Kimmy..." smiled Cleo as she looked up into her tamer's jade eyes, "I know a better way to relax you."

"Really?" Kimmy said as a sly smile creped over her lips, "and how do you want to proceed with this?"

"Kimmy," whispered the digi-cat as she nuzzled her tamers neck "lay down on the floor, we don't have much time and I want to be with you before we have to go."

Slowly the teen nodded as she sank to the floor just outside of the spraying water. Kim shivered slightly as she splayed out on the cool tiles, her nipples hardening as she watched Cleo remove her gloves. Gently Cleo moved over to her tamer and crawled up into the girl's belly "I love you Kimmy."

"I love you too," smiled the human... her body trembling under the cat's weight.

Cleo's hands were gentle as they move over Kimmy's wet skin, almost as though tracing every detail. The Gatomon's touch was light as she paused at her tamers breasts. Kimmy moaned as Cleo's clawed hands scraped over her sensitive nipples. Kimmy's whole body was suddenly jarred as a wet, sandpaper like tongue licked one of her areolas. Luckily the running shower covered the noise of their play.

Cleo purred as she cupped Kimmy's fleshy globes and her tongue lapped across a hard pink nipple, sending a shiver of pleasure down Kim's spine. Cleo knew what her lover liked as she slipped her tail between her tamers legs, a feathery brush of wet fur across Kimmy's hairless sex. "Hmmm..." the young teen groaned as her lips pressed against that of her Gatomon's, the two kissing deeply as Cleo reached out for her bottle of milk

Kimmy let out squeal of surprise as she felt the cool liquid pouring onto the flushed skin between her breasts and running in a little white stream down her tummy. She quivered as it pooled in her belly button. Slowly Cleo leaned down and began lapping up the white liquid while Kimmy tried not to giggle at the tickling pleasure.

Kimmy's skin felt cool and slippery, but where her partners tongue touches she has the giddy sensation of warmth. "Ooh God!" Kim gasps, her back arching as Cleo's tongue returns to worship her breasts. A moan of desire escapes the teen's parted lips as again that silky furred tail brushes her sex. By then Kimmy's sex was smoldering. Every time that Cleo's tongue drug over the teen's flesh, she became that much more excited.

*Cleo purred as she rose up to kiss her tamer once more. Then slowly, while her hands roamed across Kim's creamy skin, the digi-cat began a kissing descent along the human's breasts and shivering belly to the youth's sex. Cleo smiled to herself as she parted Kimmy's legs with gentle paws, and sniffed at the girls aroused sent. *

The teen gasped.

Kimmy's breathing grew ragged while her whole body began trembling, a seething mass of sensuality. The furry cat between her legs was driving the human's body wild. Sweat covered her quivering form as Cleo moved her tongue down between her long legs. Clenching her fists, the tamer cried out as the digi-cat planted a small kiss on her aroused clit.

Cleo gently slipped one of her thick fingers against the girl's dripping warmth and begin to stoke it around the slick outer lips. Kimmy groaned softly as the pleasure overcame her senses and made her back arch and teeth grind in response. The digi-cat tickled her clit with it's whiskers in a loving nuzzle, before lapping at it with her sandpaper like tongue.Cleo smiled for her tamers moans meant she was doing a good job... but there was more she could do. Licking her lips, Cleo roughly thrust a thick finger into her tamers quivering sex, and began rotating her paw in order to find Kimmy's pleasure button... concealed somewhere within the girls swollen pussy. Kimmy blinked at the sudden intrusion into her folds, then nearly screamed as one of Cleo's claws scraped hard over her moist G-spot.

The Gatomon giggled as she increased the speed of her tongue over the girl's clit while she pressed the sharp claw into her lover's velvet nub. Kimmy was in ecstasy as her digi-cat massaged her hidden button, pleasure trickling through every pore, overcoming the girl and taking her inhabitations away. "Oohhh god, Cleo I'm so close," she moans as her hips began to move on their own. Cleo was now in

control of her tamer and knew how to drag out the girl's tortured pleasure. She sucked Kim's small fleshy bump into her mouth and nibbled on it with her sharp teeth, making her tamer moan. Suddenly Cleo pulled away, the young girl pleading with her not to stop. The digi-cat withdrew her finger from Kimmy's snug dampness, before dipping her head between the human's legs and slipping her tongue into the girl's pink slit.

Kim's eye widen as she felt the hot tongue delve inside her, deep and demanding as Cleo tasted the tamer's sweet juices and brought the teen even closer to release. The longer that she kept up her tonguing pace, the deeper it scraped along the inside of Kimmy's clasping pussy, the more intense the girl's orgasm would be.

Kimmy could feel the brush of whiskers on her creamy inner thighs as Cleo kissed and licked at her wanton sex, then Cleo again inserted her thick finger. Kimmy arched her back off the floor as she moaned out a silent screech of pleasure. The demanding entry of the thick digit was all it took to trigger an intense orgasm.

But Cleo wasn't done; with a hiss she violently added a second finger and began to fuck her tamer hard and fast. Kimmy's passion increased, surfing the waves of one climax right into another as her cunt was stretched. Again the digi-cat sped up her thrusts into the now thrashing teen.

"...Cleo..." groaned out Kimmy's hoarse voice as desire overcoming her once more and she was suddenly lost in a world of erotic light.

Kimmy lay stunned on the floor as Cleo gently pulled her paw free and began to clean the girl's honey off her fingers. Once done, Cleo slowly moved over and grasped the washcloth. "Now I see why Rena like taking showers with Axel," she said as she began to wash Kimmy's body free of sweat.

"R...Really?" Kimmy panted, her breathing coming in raged gasps and her body vibrating seemingly without end. "And...and why is that?"

"Sex is a lot more exciting when you're wet." The Gatomon giggled as she whipped down the girl's legs and thighs. "And you taste better too."

"Hmmm..." moaned the teen as her Gatomon moved up her belly. "We might have to do this again... if you don't mind showers anymore."

"Oh, I think I can handle something like a shower," the digi-cat laughed as she finished washing Kimmy's body. "As long as you are with me."

"Team One, Please report to the Vortex room!"

Called out a loud speaker...

"Team One, Please report to the Vortex room!"

** "Oh Shit!" blinked Kimmy as she quickly sat up, "I still need to get dressed... Hurry Cleo, where's my towel?"**

** Mr. Yamaki was waiting in the departure room when Team One walked in, to say he was impressed at what he witnessed next would have been a huge understatement.**

** A loud buzzer sounded, echoing about the concrete walls as the huge iron door to the room groaned and raised slowly. As it did a cloud of white vapor blew across the doorway in an evil hiss and obscured anyone behind it. Then through the mist, the outline of 5 figures appeared and Team 1 marched side by side out of the fog.**

No one said a word as the Benden family walked together toward the now swirling vortex that sat at the opposite end of this cavernous room. To all in the room time seemed to slow down to a crawl. Everyone was suddenly living one of those moments that you only see in action movies, the stirring part where the heroes appear out of nowhere to save the day.

Mr. Yamaki suppressed a shiver as he watched the precession slowly make their way toward him. Along the way the others of the group had stopped and were getting a final walkthrough as to how to travel the vortex. Axel on the other hand continued over to Mr. Yamaki's side.

"Mr. Yamaki" Axel said as he stepped up, "Team 1 is ready for inspection and departure."

"This isn't the military Mr. Benden," smiled Mr. Yamaki.

"Yeah I know..." nodded Axel, as he looked the room over "I just feel like I've waked into an episode of SG-1, and well..."

"SG1?" blinked the head of the DDC.

"It's a TV show on the Sci-Fi channel," smiled Axel, as he looked around... his eyes coming to rest on the guards. Boy didn't they look spiffy in their police issue weapon's belts and tidy black uniforms. "If you get the time... check it out."

"I will Mr. Benden," said Mr. Yamaki as he handed Axel a clipboard. "As you requested we have arranged a guide for your group, he awaits you on the other side. I just wish we had a way to protect your sister... fact is I would rather she stayed here."

"She is a head strong woman who wishes to look after her daughter." Axel sighed as he looked over the paperwork before handing back the clipboard... that's when he had an idea. "Mr. Yamaki... I think I finally thought of a request for my services."

"Err... Really?" Mr. Yamaki blinked behind his shades as Axel turned and started to march over to 2 DDC guards. "May I ask what it is you want?"

"Pardon me?" Asked the American as he stepped up to the perplexed guards, "Mind if I ask what type of side-arm you guys use?"

"We use Walther P99's," one of the guards said in confusion.

"Can I see one?" Axel asked as Mr. Yamaki slowly stepped up next to him

Mr. Yamaki nodded as the guard gave him a pleading look. By now the others of Team 1 were looking on as the first guard pulled his side-arm and handed it to Axel. "What the hell is he doing?" whispered Mary... Rena could only shrug.

"Walther P99's huh?" Axel said as he ejected the clip and turned the gun over in his hands. "I prefer the .357 Magnum, but then I'm old school. I do however like the LED with incorporated laser sight... must be something new. Hmmm, let me guess, 3-Ten round clips with one in the slide I bet... Nice, is this yours or is it a company weapon?"

"Err.. Yes Sir and no Sir. 10 plus 1 in the chamber," The guard said in a nerves voice, "but the gun is company property, we aren't allowed to take them home."

"Umm, Mr. Benden, what are you..." Mr. Yamaki started.

"You two," ordered Axel loud enough that everyone in the room turned to see what was going on. "Off with your holster rigs and let me have all the extra clips you have."

Both the guards turned and looked at their boss as if waiting to see what he would say. Mr. Yamaki just stood there for a moment, shocked at how the American was acting. 'God its true' he thought 'Americans are gun happy nuts.' Finally with a sigh he nodded and watched the two guards strip off their belts and handed them over.

"Mary... you can still use a pistol right?" he called out as he tossed her a belt.

"Dad would have my hide if I forgot all he drilled into our heads" his sister flinched as she caught the heavy belt. "And I can still out shoot you."

"Good... that's your protection if anything should happen to the rest of us." Axel then turned toward Mr. Yamaki as he stuffed the other belt into his backpack. "There, now we can go."

"Err... Yes, right." The headman of the DDC said as he shook his head, "This way... and remember that the landing is sometimes a bit bumpy."

"Axel!" This came from Frank as he came jogging up to his old friend and quickly thrust a nylon fanny pack at Axel. "I did as you requested, there are 3 blank D's ready to upload at the push of a button. Once upload is complete... the only way to wipe it clean is your electric discharge." Frank then took a deep breath and smiled weakly "I only pray you wont need them."

Axel gave Frank a nod as he placed a hand on the fat man's shoulder. "Wish us luck, and keep a prayer in your heart." The artist said as his family walked over to his side "I'll do my best to bring her home safely... old friend." And with that Axel turned away.

As one the Benden's stepped up to the ramp that led into the swirling vortex of multicolored light. Kimmy stood at her mother's side and held Cleo in her arms as they mentally prepared themselves. Mary tried her best to look calm as she fidgeted under the unfamiliar weight of the gun belt, the nightstick and flashlight thumping into her legs as she moved... while Rena, now smiling brightly, took Axel's hand in hers and held it tight.

Axel looked down at Rena and smiled, never in all their time together had he seen her so happy, her yellow fur almost seemed to glow. Funny how a piece of paper, like a marriage app, can affect a woman... even though there was still no guarantee that it would be legal in the states. "Are you ready Mrs. Benden?" he asked.

** "More than you know..." Rena giggled.**

** "How about you three?" he asked his sister, niece and her Gatomon.**

** "Lets do this." Nodded Kimmy.**

** "Kick Ass." chimed Cleo happily.**

** "God I want to throw up." Sighed Mary.**

** **** The Digital World:**

Leomon sat by a small cooking fire as the light of the day began to shine over the eastern plains. He was here waiting for the group of Digidestined that were coming to stop the growing pelage that was Fuzzywig's army. Only unlike all the other groups that had ever come through, this group had no spirit armor and only two digimon in its ranks... Two digimon against an army of hundreds, no wonder they needed his help.

** Leomon sighed as he looked up at the rising sun... "They should be here soon," he murmured to himself as he pulled his breakfast of fish off the fire. He really didn't have to be here for the job was voluntary, yet something about this team's suicidal mission seemed to call to him. Something deep down told him that the destiny he had been searching for was close. No, he didn't have to be here... he needed to be here.**

** "Well, well, well..." sneered a voice from behind the lion warrior, "what do we have here?"**

** "Err?" Leomon blinked as he spun around to face whomever was behind him.**

** "By the gods you're a fool," sneered a female voice. "Its so unlike you to let your guard down Leomon."**

"LadyDevimon," growled the lion as she slowly stepped from the shadows, at her side were her two...pets. "And I see you brought your... hounds."

"We are no dogs" harrumphed one of the two Minotarmon that stepped to either side of the bark demon.

*"So you say," Leomon grinned as he slipped into a defensive crouch. Slowly he moved his hand toward the sword that sat at his back, yet... Leomon froze as his fingers closed on empty air. 'Damn!' he thought as the two Minotarmon started to circle. Quickly he looked for and found his sword, it was lying next to his bedroll... at the feet of LadyDevimon. *

Shit, how could he have been so careless? It was stupid of him to let his mind wander like it had... now he was in a fight for his life with one of Fuzzywig's enforcers. Well, no matter what happened here, he would not let them find out about the incoming tamers.

"You might as well surrender," giggled LadyDevimon, "I'd hate for my hunters to harm your lovely fur... my pet."

Leomon snarled at the smiling demon, "I will not surrender to the likes of you. Nor will I be your pet." With a roar Leomon sprang.

Axel & Rena. Chap 22

Leomon groaned in agony as he was forced to his knees, the two Minotarmon held his arms out straight from his body. One of the bull-men was in the process of pulling back hard on his mane so that he couldn't look away from LadyDevimon. The other had his knee against Leomon's elbow and was trying to bend his arm in a direction that was physically unnatural.

Though Leomon was an exultant warrior and strong of heart, the battle had proven too much for him. He could have taken one of the Minotarmon without breaking a sweat, maybe he could have taken both and only gotten a little messed up. But LadyDevimon was the kicker; with her here to aid the Minotarmon... well it just wasn't pretty.

Tears of pain were welling up in the digi-lion's good eye, this made it hard for the lion to see straight. The Minotarmon had really worked him over but good. He could deal with all the miner cuts and bruises... but the burning in his chest that came with each breath, and the fact that his other eye was now swollen shut and was turning a nice shade of purple proved to much. Deep down he knew that his life was over as LadyDevimon's dark shape walked up to him.

The demon smiled wickedly down at her pray. "Come now Leomon, I know you're in agony," she whispered as she reached out and ran a finger along his chin, whipping away the blood that trickled from his nose and mouth. "I know that two broken ribs hurt a great deal, and that at any moment your arm is going to snap like a twig... All you have to do to stop this... is to pledge your life to me."

"N...No." he growled though his pain.

"Oh do come off your high digi-horse," she sighed as she grabbed the fur under his chin and pulled up. "I don't want to have my hunters kill you and I'm sure you don't want to die."

"Go fuck your self," he said as she forced him to look into her eyes.

"Been there, done that..." she smiled as she leaned down and touched her nose to his. "I was hopping to give you that honor once you where bound to me."

"I would rather die," he spat at her, "then be your fuck toy."

"You say that like it's a bad thing." She said sadly as she straitened up to her full height. "But if you'd rather die then have the pleasure of my body, so be it..."

"Pardon me." a female voice said from behind the digi-demon. Leomon tried to blink out the fuzziness in his eye as LadyDevimon turned to see who was behind her. All Leomon could make out was a moving tall white blob... ( Th-WAK! ) And LadyDevimon dropped to the ground before him, out cold.

"Hope you don't mind if we cut in." smiled Angewomon while she rubbed her knuckles.

"We?" asked the stunned bull-man who was trying to brake Leomon's arm.

"Yes... We." Thiswas from a Renamon who suddenly sprang into the air behind the digi-angel. "DIAMOND-STORM!"

The Minotarmon holding Leomon's mane watched in horror as Renamon's attack hit true and his brother, weakened from the day's battle, died before his eyes. Fear swept over the lone bull-man as he realized that he was next. With a snort he pushed Leomon toward the two females and ran.

"Your sword..." Said another female voice as Leomon's eye cleared. He could now see the Minotarmon that was running away, and before him was the hilt of his sword. With a roar of rage the digi-lion grabbed his sword and threw it with all his might. "BEAST SWORD!!" His roar echoed across the planes as the blade whistled through the air, before sinking up to the cross guard into the fleeing bull-man's back.

Slowly Leomon stood and marched/limped over to the now dead Minotarmon. With a satisfied smile he pulled his sword from the bull-man's back and waited. Gods it felt good as his body absorbed the digimon's code and began to heal, it was almost like having an orgasm... just without the mess. With a final sigh he turned and looked at the ones who saved him

"Damn,"whispered Renamon.

"You can say that again." This was from a male human who was placing handcuffs on the unconscious LadyDevimon.

"I almost feel sorry for the asshole," said a young female teen who was now looking at Angewomon's right hand. "Jeez Cleo, that was a hell of a right hook."

"Are you ok Mr. Lion?" this question came from the final member of this group who had stepped up to his side and was holding out the scabbard for Leomon's sword.

Leomon's breath caught in his mighty chest as he looked at the woman who now stood before him. She must have been almost 6 foot tall, had rust red hair and vibrant green eyes that seemed to call to him. Just by looking at her he could tell she was a strong huntress, a kindred spirit, and the loveliest creature he had ever laid eyes on.

** 'I know her...' he though to himself, 'but how?'**

** The digi-lion was starring at the woman, trying to figure out where he had seen her before when a voice snapped him back. "Hey Leomon..." said Renamon as she stepped up and waved her hand in his face. "Digi-world to Leomon... anybody home?"**

"Er... umm, sorry," he blinked and looked down at the Renamon. "I would like to thank you for helping me... but"

"But what?" Renamon asked, one ear perking up.

"But I must ask a question of you first." the lion said as he looked at the digi-fox.

"Of me?" blinked Renamon, "Ok... go for it."

"Which of thesehuman's is in charge?" Leomon asked as he held his sword at the ready, just in case she answered wrong.

"No human is in charge," Renamon said, not just because it was the pre-arranged answer... butthat it was the truth.

Leomon sighed asthe correct response was given, only now did he let his sward lower. "I am Leomon, guardian of the seventh pass," he announced as he struck his chest with a fist in a formal salute. "I am pleased to meet you and only wish it had been on better terms. The fact that your team had to save my life does not reflect well on my fighting skills."

"Hey, don't sweat it. I'm Axel and this is my mate Rena," said the human male as he stepped up to the Renamon's side. Then slowly he pointed to the rest of the team, "That's my niece Kimmy with her Angewomon, Cleo, over there. And the red head here that you were undressing with your eyes is my sister Mary."

"I... I know you..."whispered the digi-lion.

Team 1 stood, and the now somewhat awake LadyDevimon sat, in shocked silence as Leomon ignored Axel 'n' Rena and looked deep into Mary's eyes. "I don't know how," he said in a soft voice as he dropped to one knee before the stunned woman. "But some how I know who you are, it's like we've met... in a dream."

"R...Really?" Mary stood ridged, as she looked the digi-lion over. Never in her life had she been so terrified of something, yet also excited. There was something familiar about this creature but what? Slowly her eyes wandered over the lion-man until she came to his slitted eyes, and that's when she remembered her fantasy lover from the shower.

"Oh my god! It's you!" Mary gasped as she thrust her arms about Leomon's neck and buried her face in his shaggy mane. The others watched as Mary began to cry tears of joy, while a surprised Leomon slowly wrapped his arms about her and tried to comfort the woman.

"Ok," Axel said as he slowly tilted his head to one side. "Anyone else who finds this spooky... please raise your hands."

"I know I do," replied Rena as she raised her hand.

"I second that," blinked Kimmy as she to raised her hand.

"I'll see your spooky," shivered Cleo as she lifted her hand, "and raise it to incredibly spooky."

"I'd raise my hand but they seem to be shackled behind my back." LadyDevimon sighed, "Mind if I lift a foot?"

Axel was the first to snap out of whatever spell and or shock that Mary and Leomon had just hit the crew with. Shaking his head he turned to the restrained lady demon, who was now sitting up and awake. "I don't suppose you would be willing to talk to me about why you were attacking our guide?" he asked as he moved over next to her and sat down.

** "No not really," she snorted as she turned up her nose and looked away. "What I do with my property is my business."**

** "Property..." Axel blinked, "so he was going to be your slave?"**

** "He -IS- my slave." She corrected harshly, still not looking at the human. "I hunted him down and defeated him in battle, his life is now mine to do with as I please."**

** "I am no one's property!" growled Leomon from where he was holding on to Mary.**

** "So..." asked Axel as he looked LadyDevimon over. "If you defeat a digimon in battle, their life becomes yours... that means that digimon don't always have to battle to the death?"**

** "Not always." Snapped the demon who had now turned so her back was to the human, "but a defeat is a defeat... he is mine."**

** "Very well, Leomon is yours," Axel shrugged callously.**

** "Thank you." This brought on a smile from the demon. "Now then pet... come and unshackle me."**

** "Axel!" gasped Mary as Leomon rose, his hand going for his sword. "What in the fuck are you doing?"**

** "I will be no one's pet." Snarled Leomon. Yet as he started to pull his sword he saw the look in Axel's eyes, this made him stop.**

** "But..." Axel said as he turned and looked at LadyDevimon. "By your own confession... you now belong to Angewomon."**

** "Err...what?" blinked the lady demon.**

** "Cleo?" Axel nodded to the angel, "what do you wish to do to your property?"**

** Cleo was stunned, true she had hit LadyDevimon and knocked her cold, and it was considered a defeat. But what was she going to do with such an evil... 'Oh' she thought as she saw the look on Axel's face. "Oh I don't care." She said flippantly, and then gave a dismissive wave of her hand. "You can have her dear Axel, I give her to you as a wedding present."**

"WOW! Thanks Cleo," Axel happily chirped, "I always wanted a demon slave."

"Now wait just a minute," snapped LadyDevimon, her eyes darting toward Angewomon as she struggled with her bonds. "You have no right to do that. First off you didn't defeat me. Second, you can't give me to him, he's a human..."

** "No he is something different," said Rena as she stepped over to the demon's other side.**

** "What ever LadyDevimon says..." Leomon called out as he started to relax, "don't believe her, she is one of Fuzzywig's enforcers and will do anything to warn him your hear."**

"Well this is just great," sighed Mary as she and Leomon moved closer. "You do realize that we now have a big problem... right Axel?"

"Tell me LadyDevimon," Axel asked as he ignored his sister, "would you release Leomon from his debt to you if I promise to let you go?"

"I... I guess so." The demon blinked in confusion.

"AXEL!" Kimmy and Cleo both warned, "She works for Fuzzywig, don't do..."

"Ok, I promise to release the cuffs..." Axel said as he reached into one of his many pockets and produced the key. "After you release Leomon."

"Damn it Axel," Mary barked, "Have you lost your fucking mind?"

"Then I release Leomon from his debt." The demon nodded almost to happily, god humans were way to trusting. "Hear that kitty cat... you're free."

"Err.. Thanks?" Leomon scratched his head as Mary and her daughter both slapped their foreheads and groaned.

"Now release me," hissed LadyDevimon.

"Ok," smiled Axel as he reached behind the demon and took the cuffs off.

"About damn time." LadyDevimon snorted as she slowly stood, stretched out her wings and began rubbing her writs "Well it's been fun but if you don't mind, I'm going home."

"No you're not," Rena smiled evilly as she stepped in front of the digi-demon. "The agreement was that we would take the cuffs off you if you let Leomon go. I'm afraid you still belong to my mate, Axel, and are bound by your own laws."

"But...but...but..." stuttered LadyDevimon.

"Rena does have a point. And I'm relatively sure that if you were to leave, that your first stop would be to inform someone that we are here." Axel said as he gently placed an arm around LadyDevimon's shoulder. "So you're staying with us... cool impression of a motor boat by the way."

"Well I didn't see that coming." Mary mumbled, Cleo and Kimmy agreeing with nods of their

heads.

"You... You tricked me!" The demon hissed as she turned and glared at Axel, hate filling her eyes. "You sack of human shit, I'm going to enjoy killing you, your yellow slut, and..."

That last statement caught in LadyDevimon's throat as, for the first time, she got a close look at the man standing next to her. Chills started to run rampantly up and down her spine. His eyes were black as obsidian glass, they seemed to draw her in and capture her soul. Then there were the faint 'W' marks just under his eyes, the same markings as a Renamon. Finally, showing through the wicked smile now plastered on his face, she could make out his oversized canine teeth. "You're not human..."

"No I'm not," Axel growled as he suddenly seized the demon by the shoulders and slammed her back roughly against a nearby tree. The others of Team 1 became quiet as Axel's dark side peek out from behind the vale where he kept it hidden. "I'm giving you one chance... you're going to be our new guide to Kitsune Valley. If you try to betray us in any way..."

At that moment LadyDevimon tried to push Axel away. She struggled and even tried to kick him in the groin. Instead he blocked her moves and slammed her even harder into the tree, this time the back of her head smacked off the bark and she almost passed out. "Are you listening to me demon whore?" he hissed as he ground his fingers into her shoulders... his -claws- drawing blood. All she could do was nod threw the pain.

Maybe the threat on Renamon's life was going to far?

"Err... Rena?" blinked Mary as she took a hesitant step back.

"I know Mary," sighed the digi-fox as she moved up behind Axel and gently whispered something in his ear.

** LadyDevimon watched as Axel's dark eyes shifted back to white and his grip on her shoulders relaxed. What ever the Renamon had said, the effects were instantaneous. Axel had gone from a crazed maniac bent on hurting her, back to a lighthearted human in a matter of seconds.**

"Look," he sighed softly as he pulled his hands away, "we don't want to hurt you... help us and I will release you from our bond the moment we are done. But if you betray us... I'll have your code."

"Sure..." nodded the demon. At this point she was afraid, not of Axel... but of the Renamon who controlled him. "What ever you want."

Axel turned from the digi-demon and walked slowly to the edge of Leomon's camp. Rena at his side the whole way, her left arm around his waist. To all there it looked like she was consoling him, yet reality was that his legs were shaking so bad that he almost couldn't walk. "Sorry love," he said in a private whisper, "I... I don't know what came over me."

"Its ok Axel." She answered as she moved in front of him and hugged him tight. "It's the digital-world. Your part digimon and starting to feel the effects of being in such a... power filled environment. Its something you're not used to so it's bound to have an adverse effect on you."

"I guess this means that you won't be needing me then." Leomon sighed as he began to gather up his things. There was sadness in his voice and you didn't need to be a genius to see that he really wanted to stay... if only to get to know Mary better.

"Axel..." Mary hissed, her eyes pleading to her brother to do something.

"Your right Leomon, we don't need you as a guide." Axel said as he watched the big digi-lion flinch. Mary also flinched and looked about to cry. "But I would like to ask a favor of you before you go."

"If it's that I don't say a word about you being here?" he asked as he turned his back on the group, "then I wont... I promise."

"Leo..." Axel voice dropped an octave and sounded more like a command.

"What!" the big lion-man snapped as he turned to look at the human.

"I was going to ask that instead of being a guide... that you stay and be Mary's protector." Axel said absently, "but if its going to be too much trouble..."

"Axel, stop that." Mary gasped as she ran over to Leomon, "please stay... please?"

"I..." Leomon blinked for suddenly Axel had turned away and was looking absently inside his backpack. It was as if Axel wanted him to watch over Mary but also wanted it to be Leomon's choice... Leomon found that he liked the idea. "I will stay Mary, for you I will stay." He said in a gentle voice before nodding to her brother, "and I pledge on my life that I will protect her."

"Good, now that we got that out of the way," sighed Axel as he ignored the dirty look in his sisters eyes. "How about we get the show on the road... LadyDevimon, if you would please take point."

"Yes sir..." she snorted and turned toward the south.

As the group began to march off toward their next stop, Kimmy with the now resting Gatomon in her arms, jogged up to her uncle. "You did that on purpose didn't you?" she asked but only got a shrug from her uncle. Kimmy turned and looked back at her mother who was now smiling as she walked with the lion man.

"Thanks Axel..." she smiled as Cleo giggled.
