Raia and Renamon sat opposite each other in absolute silence, their tamer asleep just aside of the fire betwixt the three. Seeking to leave their partner to his slumber, Renamon stood and walked into the woods a ways, finding another cleared area, where some felled trees made for good seats. She sat after kicking some dead wood and bark together and lit the small pile with a quick shot of her familiar pale flame. She wasn’t alone for long before Raia strode up carefully, her stealth almost unnoticeable to Renamon.

“You can’t really sneak up on one of your own kind.” Renamon said without looking. “We’re just a little too similar for that.” Raia smiled and approached her, sitting farther down the log.

“Sorry, just developed into a habit.” Raia said a bit sheepishly. “I picked it up from watching you.” Renamon cracked a smile as well, her pride in her partner inching along just a bit more.

“You do it well.” Renamon admitted. “My being around other Renamon made me more apt at detecting the subtleties of our movement.” She looked down at the blaze before her for a moment, not noticing the hanging silence at first. She shifted her gaze to Raia, who was also staring at the fire, but more distant and forlorn. Raia caught Renamon’s gaze upon her and sighed.

“I just…” She started, seeming to grasp at unformed words. “I never had others like you around. I don’t remember anything before coming to the human world, I’ve told you that, and it… I don’t know, set me back socially, I guess. I never learned how to interact with other digimon, so I just took them as either benign or a threat. Respect wasn’t a factor that applied, whether I realized it or not.” Renamon slid down the log, close to Raia, and placed an arm around her, resting a paw on her partner’s hip. He said that when I speak at length, he really enjoys it. Maybe I should then.

“I respect you. As a partner, as a friend. I may not have before, but I do now. We can teach each other, we’re equals.” Renamon spoke softly, unused to expressing this side, especially with someone besides Luke. “You remember the village I told you about? I may have lived with other Renamon, but I wasn’t close to any of them. Friendship wasn’t a luxury we knew. Knowing what I do now, I can see that all of those others are missing out.” Raia turned her head to look at the yellow fox beside her. Renamon saw a tear at her eye and pulled her close.

“What you said before, it struck deep. You’re more to me than just a friend, you’re someone to trust with my life.” Raia held her new-found friend just a bit tighter as tears finally broke loose. “And I couldn’t ask for more than that.” Renamon said nothing, simply mouthing the words “Thank you”, as she held Raia.

A silence over took the air and Renamon gazed upward as they untangled from each other. Renamon silently enjoyed the view of the vast, dark sky above, immense and staggering. Stars dotted the thick blackness, but were dim, almost hopeless, contributing further to the theme of the landscape.

“You crawled through this, all of this, just to come back for him.” Renamon said, breaking the silence. Her gaze never left the skies above as Raia looked to her. “The sheer strength of will, the power from your soul you’d have to summon to do that, it strikes doubt into me as to whether I could do the same. I would try, undoubtedly, but to make it like you had? That takes a tenacity that I just can’t be certain I possess.” Raia felt her heart swell gently, her respect for her fellow digimon paralleled by her newly formed bond of partnership, an unspoken pact that they meant no competition to each other, only seeking to live harmoniously with their tamer, their formerly sole link.

Raia found her eyes trailing the length of her partner’s form, laid back and resting on her elbows, the pale moonlight seeming to accentuate her beautiful coat and colors, not quite shining but most definitely illuminating. Her flowing curves and arches swelled from the earth she laid on like a calligrapher’s brush stroke, like those she’d used to instruct her tamer so long ago. Gazing upon her with fervent interest, Raia was unable to look away when Renamon inevitably caught her stare.

Raia made no effort to hide her action, instead succumbing to an urge at the back of her mind. She stretched a long silver arm out and stroked down the length of her partner’s side, leaning toward her and shifting herself above Renamon. “What you said earlier, what you said just now, I can’t express my thanks for that with just words. Maybe I can explain it better by other means.” Raia closed her eyes and lowered her head, and Renamon did the same, raising her head to meet her, submitting to the pull of the moment, letting her emotions take her. Maw met maw, giving each Renamon a sensation unlike any they’d felt, a natural feeling that was nigh-inexplicable. Raia allowed her paws to roam down Renamon’s smooth sides, her fluffed fur slicking down and springing back as her pads dragged down. Renamon took the more direct route, running her paws up Raia’s slick haired white stomach, the fur smooth and sleek as she approached Raia’s chest ruff. Renamon buried her paws into the one bit of fluff on Raia’s body, finding her breasts beneath it. She was surprised, although not unpleasantly, that her partner’s breasts were just a bit smaller than her own, but gently took them one to a paw with the care she would her own.

Raia gasped quietly as she ran her paws along Renamon’s hips, feeling Renamon’s paws lightly squeeze her breasts and tweak her nipples. Raia enjoyed the pleasure and was also intrigued by her partner’s different structure, finding Renamon’s hips to be subtly wider than her own, enough to notice with touch, but not enough to see through the gentle fluff of her yellow fur. Raia smiled and reached back, the pads of her paws finding the generous curve of Renamon’s ass, which she shifted her paws to cup.

With each of the Renamon zealously exploring the other’s body, they were content to kiss again, exploring the new experience of their shared maw. Their tongues curled and twisted as each found the other’s mouth to be strangely unlike their own, giving their exploration ever more purpose. Raia began to knead Renamon’s soft behind, while Renamon massaged Raia’s pert breasts, each pleased with how the other was doing. In her enthusiasm, Raia squeezed hard and felt her paw brush against Renamon’s wetness, eliciting a moan from the yellow fox.

Renamon broke their kiss and stared into Raia’s eyes. “Would you touch it?” Raia, after the moment needed to process the request, smiled and slid her right paw around Renamon’s thigh, planting her palm on Renamon’s white, fluffy pubic mound. Her middle digit drug along Renamon’s slit, feeling a taste of the warmth and wetness held inside, and pressed into her, feeling the yellow fox part around her and envelop her. Renamon moaned deeply, involuntarily clenching on her partner’s paw as it entered her. “More.” She begged quietly. “Deeper.” Raia happily complied, feeling Renamon clutch her breasts tighter as the silver fox delved deeper, exploring Renamon’s tight folds. Raia started to pump her paw into Renamon, her palm rubbing Renamon’s clit with every stroke, drawing moan after pleasured moan from her.

Renamon, although drowning in an faintly familiar ecstasy, was not about to leave her fellow fox out of the fun, slipping a paw of her own down to push into the silver fox’s own slit. Raia, surprised at the sudden stimulation, drew a sharp breath and let it out in a slow and content moan. Renamon grinned at her partner’s pleasure and removed her paw and begrudgingly removed Raia’s paw from her own folds. Raia moaned with displeasure Renamon shifted beneath her, flipping herself end for end and placing her head between Raia’s legs. Raia, who was on her hands and knees over Renamon, had no idea what was coming, Renamon was sure of that.

Renamon hung out her tongue and gave Raia’s slit a long, slow lick, down and back up, then kissed her clit. Raia’s shaking legs on either side of Renamon’s head and the sudden rapturous moan that she let loose told Renamon that she’d remembered her tamer’s tricks well.

“Just do as I do, Raia, and I assure you that you won’t regret it.” Without a word, Raia dropped her head to Renamon’s own womanhood, taking experimental licks at it and gauging responses as Renamon treated her to the same.

Raia found the sweet spot that was Renamon’s clit and kissed her mouth to it while also pushing her tongue into the yellow fox. Renamon moaned into her partner’s folds as she slipped her tongue into Raia as well. A ball of tense energy began to swell in each of them as they explored each other once more. Raia felt the tension build and build, eventually making her clench her legs, pulling Renamon’s head even more against her mound, and Renamon soon found herself doing the same. The tense energy seemed to build endlessly, driving each of the Renamon mad with euphoria, but eventually broke, sending each into wave after wave of ecstatic pleasure, rippling through their lithe forms until they collapsed.

Raia, summoning what little energy she could, flipped herself to lie with Renamon and pulled herself close to her fellow fox. Renamon whispered, nearly silent, in her partner’s ear.

“That was amazing, Raia.” She licked the silver fox’s ear, feeling it twitch. “I’m so glad we’ve stuck this out till now.” Her arms mirrored Raia’s as she embraced her, warming them in ways the pale fire’s light couldn’t as they drifted off to a deep, contented sleep.

=====

I woke up alone, which was not the greatest way to start a day… night… whatever the hell it is here. More so, given how well waking up minus a Renamon had worked out recently. I checked my surroundings, finding that I was where I fell asleep, so I at least had some bearings, based on what little I could remember prior to passing out. The fire had burnt out; only a few hot coals were left. I stood up, stretching myself out and trying to relieve some of the ache from my shitty sleeping conditions, and wondered how long I’d been out. I did another quick check of my surroundings, finding no gauge of time, hardly a surprise, and a light through the dense trees, which was as surprise.

Too much more of this shit and I’m gonna break… I thought to myself as I weaved through the woods, following the faint light of what I found to be another dying fire. As I got close, I saw some felled logs which could easily be used for a short-term campground. Upon closer inspection, I saw a thin silver length draped over one of the logs. Considering what happened last time Raia turned up missing, I was more than a bit panicked. I dashed my way past the logs and found the owner of the silver appendage.

Renamon was lying on the ground, sound sleeping, with Raia curled up a bit on top of her, her head resting on Renamon’s chest ruff. It was hard for me to wake them up and break the scene apart, to be honest, but I knew we had ground to cover and progress to make, so I meant set that inhibition aside.

However, despite my serious intentions, I decided a bit of levity might be good for morale. Finding that both of my partners were in as dead and deep of a sleep as I’d ever seen them, I knew I had a little time to set up something that would undoubtedly be fun to watch.

I walked a fair distance into the forest in order to mask the noise I was going to make, and crunched up a ton of leaves and dumped them into a makeshift net made of some ragged cloth I found on the ground, then used some sticks to hang it from. I snuck back and hung the leaves up above the two sleeping foxes, being as quiet as I could, then strung a vine near their feet that would act as a trigger. Finally, to complete the trap, I found the largest, driest branch I could and hid behind a nearby tree. After making sure everything was ready, I grinned wide and cracked the branch over my knee as loudly as I could.

Both of the Renamon shot up in an instant, tugging hard on the vine. The net broke free and dumped enough dead leaf confetti on both of them to mound up to their ankles. I tried to stay quiet just a bit longer for effect, but when I peeked out and saw them both confused and covered in leaves, I couldn’t help but start laughing.

I had another couple seconds to laugh to myself before I felt myself getting lifted up by the neck of my shirt. Raia looked me in the eyes, dead serious with a mound of crunched leaves on her head. I started laughing even harder.

“Ass. Hole.” She said, almost snarling, her irritation pouring out of each syllable. “You know how on edge we are and you go and do something stupid like that? Were you actually looking to piss us off?”

My laughing slowly died down as she spoke and I started realizing she was actually angry, not playful. I looked past her, and although still stoic as always, Renamon looked none too pleased either.

“I, uh…” I struggled to find the words that might save me from this immense hole I’d dug myself. “I thought it might um, add some uh… levity to the situation and-”

“Riiiiight. Save it.” Raia cut me off and dropped me to the ground, clearly not concerned with me roughly landing on my ass. “You’ve been a bit much to deal with lately, maybe you could use some time alone.” She started to wander away, and I caught a hint of hesitation in Renamon’s eyes before she went stonefaced once more and followed suit. Well, fuck.

I sat for a while, stewing on how dumb I’d been with my little “prank”. The careless part of me come to rear its ugly head again, and at a worse time than ever. I leaned against the rotting tree I’d hid behind, caught in a mix of pouting at being told off, and genuine remorse for what I’d done. There was also a little voice in the back ranting about just how fucking stupid I’d been, but that’s always there.

Before long, I stood, and started walking, not really looking to go anywhere, but my body was tired of inaction. An anxious urge to do anything at all, rather than just sit and wait, was taking over, and so I walked. Without a ghost fire to lead me, I was wandering in the ever-present late twilight, but my eyes adjusted some, so I was at least not tripping over branches. Full trees on the other hand, those were about to trip me up plenty.

=====

The Renamon walked far enough away for their tamer to no longer hear, when Raia stopped and spun on her heels.

“I cannot believe he would do something like that, knowing the stresses we’ve been under. Does he even care? Why have I had to ask myself that so much lately?” Raia sighed heavily and started to pace, her feet padding around silently amongst the dead forest.

“You’ve known him longer than I have, but you’ve seen just as much as I how he thinks his way through things. Remember the first time we met? Hardly a thought went into that particular plan.” Raia thought back as Renamon spoke, remembering how her tamer had dove in and essentially assaulted a young girl just to break up a fight. The more she thought though, the more the memory fleshed out in her mind. What she’d said before, how he’d reacted.

“He was on a short fuse then. I… I wasn’t being the best friend at the time.” Raia said, looking down and shuffling her feet a bit.

“How do you mean? What could you have done so early on to set him in the frame of mind that would make that seem even remotely tactful?” Renamon’s eyes narrowed, sensing a vein of information that might be very key to her tamer’s odd actions.

“Well… remember how I’d made you sneak into the bathroom before, as a joke?” Renamon groaned and nodded, feeling foolish all over again. “I’d done that before, as an accident. When I saw him, I felt a lot of things, they just rushed my head and I didn’t know how to handle them all at once, so I shoved them to the side and told myself it was just wrong. I know now that what I was feeling was lust.” Raia hid her face even more, growing ashamed of what she was saying and wanting badly to stop. Renamon could see through this though, and was having none of it.

“That still doesn’t tell me what happened. Keep going.”

Raia began to stumble forward, trying her best not to trip over her words. “He… he asked me about it, asked me if I hated what I saw. I… he seemed to think he looked terrible or something like that, that he was carrying a lot of extra weight, but that was plainly false, I mean, you’ve seen him too.” Renamon took her turn to blush, memories of more intimate times flooding her mind. She pushed these aside, seeking more answers.

“What did you tell him?” Her tone was almost accusatory, as Renamon felt she was very close to the answer.

“I said he looked fine. He insisted. I said it again. He pressed again, and I kept playing coy, too shy to share or even think about what I’d felt. I finally broke, and said more, but I lied to him, and myself. I told him we should be just friends, and that was that.” Renamon nodded, she knew her tamer’s personality enough to connect the dots from there.

“And that rejection set him off, I see.” Raia nodded in response.

“I did love him, I just didn’t really know how to say it, and it felt so strange to me that I was scared to even think about it.”

Renamon looked into the sky, thinking a bit more. “From what I can tell,” She began, “Luke has a tendency to act very rash when he’s upset. That’s not what brought on this stupid joke of his, I think his intent was genuinely to lighten the mood and he just half-baked the idea.”

“Yeah, but…” Raia thought for a moment, and coming around to see what her partner meant. “Yeah, you’re right. He was being dumb, definitely, but he was trying to break the exact tension that made me snap at him to begin with.”

Raia sighed and slumped next to a tree. “I feel so mean now. He was just trying to help, even if it was stupid as hell.” She felt Renamon start to stroke her ears.

“He has a sweet heart, and he lets it get ahead of his brain sometimes.” Renamon looked around briefly, then back down to Raia. “Come to think of it, he does a lot of stupid things while he’s upset…”

Raia’s ears perked as she followed the same reasoning Renamon did. “Oh, shit.”

=====

I kept wandering, completely aimless and buried deep into my own mind. The scolding voice that started in the back of my mind had clawed up into the forefront, escalating from a whisper into roaring anger that emulated the sourest notes from what Raia had said. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

At some point in my wandering, my mind shifted to thoughts of Raia’s anger, rare that it was in the time we’d been together. I’d only ever seen that anger once before, and the memory made my heart ache. I’d betrayed her, then and now. Before, there was a mild justification, she’d been dead, and I planned to move on. Now though, there was none, all fault rested squarely on me. This justification, however, couldn’t save me from rolling my past sins into the ball of self-pitying anger that I was currently chastising myself with.

What kind of person am I, that I’d do something like that, like this? I didn’t notice, in my childish lambasting of myself, that another voice joined the chorus, in a whisper. You must be a monster, to do something like that, after all. What keeps them around you anyways?

“Nothing” was the only answer that the chorus would offer, chanting it in a slow rhythm that rapped on my conscience. My pace slowed as my thoughts quickened, and I slowed to a stop near a tree and slumped my body down against it, closing my eyes to shut out the darkness encroaching the edges of my vision.

=====

The Renamon picked up on hints of footsteps and muttering and zeroed in on it as quickly as they could, all ears perked and listening intensely. The footsteps stopped, but the muttering grew louder, still masked into obscurity by the foliage around them. As they drew close though, they were greeted with a bellowing howl, definitely Luke, but sounding not at all like him.

“Nothing!” was yelled out into the dead, still woods. “Fucking nothing!” The yell ascended into a scream, frustration emanating from it like a heavy wave. Raia caught some rustling beneath the neigh-overpowering shouting, and followed it until she saw her tamer, looking up. Renamon kept close, but leapt up into a tree when they got close, motioning for Raia to do the same. Confused, Raia was met by rough gesturing suggesting that they keep quiet and watch. Must not want to use the mental link. Maybe she saw something I didn’t…

Once up in the trees, Raia saw Luke staring down the Cherrymon from before, but something was empty about his gaze. He wasn’t looking at much of anything, just yelling in Cherrymon’s direction. Similarly, what he was yelling had almost no guidance or direction behind it.

“FUCK.” He stood and started pacing past the Cherrymon, who seemed a bit confused himself, but seemed reassured after the man began circling and ranting into dead air. Raia grew more and more confused, as her tamer kept repeating the same word over and over, but that ended quickly as he launched into a rant, his voice stumbling and unclear.

“What would I ever know about it anyways? I’ve only ever known hate. Hate and anger. Pure vitriolic venom poisoning my veins and choking out my heart, blackening it to fucking charcoal. God, listen to me, I sound like a fucking 14 year old’s journal about why he’s so alone. All the more reason I shouldn’t be here at all. Self-doubt has been dragging me under this whole time, but now I’ve gone and finally sunk. So fuck it. I’m done. FUCK!” Luke threw his arms into the air, obviously frustrated, then but then suddenly went limp and collapsed. The tree seemed to shake its head and plucked the human from the ground, tossing him across a thicker branch ready to carry him off. Just as he took a step, a massive force cratered into his back.

“Where the fuck do you think you’re taking him?”
