Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: Forget the 25 years later stuff at the end of series 2, this may change some of their lives from it. Malomyotismon was defeated a few months early and most people forgot most it but not the digi-destined and some others.

Tai lifestyle change part 17

Rika stare at her newly deformed ears. Her mind froze. First, she thought that her eye were playing tricks on her but her hand rubbing the fur covers ears prove that hope false. A mist of panic clouded her thoughts as her body remains motionless. She seen how they treated Tai and she not want that to happen to her. Renamon started at her partner not knowing how she can help her. She was never good at helping other with emotional problem.

Rika's mother opens the door to wake Rika up. She started to scream when she found out about Rika's ears. Rika ran to the door a slammed it shut. Everyone in the resident came running at the cries. After Rika's mother said a few random words, her head fell onto her mother's shoulder.

Rika's mother sat in front of the TV. She was watching a rerun of digimons. The episode where Cody asked Matt about TK. She started to watch it as a way to under stand Rika better and got hook. She got a shock when she saw Kari in her home. She picks up her sketchbook and started top sketch new fashion. She tried to forget what she saw on Rika. She did not tell any one so Rika could. Tai jump onto the couch next to her. A knock came from the door.

She opens the door to a teenager. He wore a pair of black pants. A long sleeves jacket with dark sunglasses covering his eyes and finishes with a white bandana. There was something about him that made Rika's mother believe she seen him before. Tai walk up and started to smell the boy's sock. "Hi, Matt," He said.

"How did you know it was me?" Matt asked as he walked into the home.

"I know your smell," Tai said rubbing his noise. Matt walk into the living room. "So where did you sleep?" Tai asked.

"Guilmon's hut," Matt said, "with Mimi."

"How did that turn out?" Tai asked.

"Not good," Matt said, "there is a hole in the ground and Mimi made me sleep in it."

Tai look up at Matt and said, "Kari's a great bed, Agumon's a great pillow and Gatomon's head made a great blanket. What's with the new look?"

"We're famous here and not real," Matt said, "So we had to disguise who we are."

Tai smiled and look at Matt. "So I don't needed to hid any more but you do," Tai said, "How does it feel to hid who you are?"

"At least we don't ride in a bag," Matt said.

"When is Mimi?" Tai asked.

Matt sat on the coach before saying, "Jeri came to the hut and showed us how to get here and then Mimi took here to the portal gateway. You know the ruins that brought us here. Jeri and Mimi are handing out clothes to those that chose to stay there."

Tai jump up onto the ground. He walks into the backyard and found a nice sunny spot. Gatomon told him to try it once. As his body rest, his mind ran. His mind rolls over all the facts. He remembers Jennai telling them that they fell to some one that knew their ways. 'Funny I don't thing that Gennai ever seen me as a digimon,' Tai thought. He rolled to his feet and ran to the living room.

He enters to find the room to find all Digi-destined and Tamers but Rika. As he looks around for Kari, he felt a foot hit him in the back. "Sorry," Ryo said before he steps over Tai. Ryo was not looking for a small cat but he thought about what they need to do to find Gennai. He did not take a sit before he started to talk, "Henry, Take Izzy and Ken to see your father. He may have information that we may need. The rest of us will show the Digi- destined around. We may not be able to show the digi-destined how to get some here."

"Can I say something?" Tai asked as he rubs the sore on his back.

"You never have anything importance to say any way," Ryo said with his back toward Tai.

"At least I don't go around looking for a tamer's digimon fighting a digimon and wait for the wild digimons to get tire so I can get an easy victory," Tai yelled.

"Tai not now," Matt said, "Ryo made a good point. We don't know this city and the tamers are not always going to be around. If we go around asking people deration one of them surly who we are if they get a good look at us. Trues me when I tell you that there is not much we can do when that happen."

"If Ryo is going then I'm not," Tai said, "He may kick me again." Cybordramon growled at Tai. "Bring it one! I want to see how good you are from the start of a fight and no digi-modify."

"You're to small to be a threat to me," Cybordramon said, "You would not be able to stand one of my kicks."

"Stop fighting!" Mimi yelled, "You two are on the same side there is no reason to fight. All you're going to do is weaken yourselves for the true battle a head. Tai you can stay here if you want but for me I go. Who know what kind of cute fashion they have here."

"I staying here with Tai," Kari said.

"Me too," Jeri said. She does not feel right being involved with the Tamers' aventor after she lost Leomon. Beside it's not like she going to be missing much. Now was here chance to get Kari as a friends and she may get some tips of how to be a good partner to a digimons so she can be ready for the next time if there is going to be a next time.

After most of them as left, Kari and Jeri sat on the couch with the digimons on the floor in fount of them. They were watching dvd with digimon show from the first season. After a few hours, Jeri spoke up, "I'm sorry about Ryo behavior. After G-reaper, all types of people been going up to Ryo asking him what happen. Since Ryo was the most famous before, many stories made him the leading character. You know changing the fact to make him look like he defected most of all the power enemies."

"Did any one try to set the get it right?" Tai asked.

"I didn't want to talk. Henry was trying to cheer up Suzie. Takato and Rika were extremely sick. Kazu and Kenta agree with Ryo," Jeri said. She looks at the time to see Metal Etemon deleting Leomon. She looks away as a tear welled up under her eyes.

"You miss him don't you," Kari said.

"It's not just that just that," Jeri said, "I failed at everything I try. I fail at being a tamer. I fail at making friends. I never win at the digimon card game. I just want to be good at something."

"Tai jumped onto Jeri's lap. "You never lost Leomon because you were a bad tamer," Tai said. Jeri look down at Tai with eyes showing that the little girl is try to make since of what was just told to her. "Leomon chose to give his life for you. He wanted to make sure you live not just because you were his tamer but because you were his friend."

"I don't think that Leomon was to be your partner any ways," Gatomon said.

Then they heard Rika's grandmother say, "Dear you have not been out all day. If you want supper they you'll need to come out and get it." The two humans and three digimons left to see what was the matter. The five newcomers walk into a position so the could see. Because Rika's door could be reach by jumping the fence, it had its own lock.

"What even happen you are going to need to show us sooner or later," Rika's mother said trying to get Rika out. She was worry that Rika have the same illness that made Rika bedridden for weeks.

Slowly the door opens to show Renamon at it. Renamon step aside showing a digimon about the size of Tai. She looks like a mini version of Renamon but for a few changes. Her body look a little like Tai and where Renamon had yellow fur this digimon had red fur and she did not have the feather shape coming from behind her shoulder. With her violet eyes she look around her. "Happy?" She said with Rika's voice.

"Rika is that you," Her mothers gasp as she step back. She knew something was not right with her daughter when she saw the ears but she never thought her daughter would become a digimon.

"Who else would be in my room?" Rika asked. She hated how everyone was looking down at her. She look at the feline digimon she now knew was Tai. At first, Rika hated him but as time went by she release that if it was his fault then one of the digi-destined would have change before her. Her thoughts were stop when she started to feel pleasure from her ears. When it stop, she could not believe that her mind was over powered by please from her ear getting rubbed.

Rika's grandmother could see the confusion in her granddaughter eyes and few tears rolling down her cheek. She said, "I think that you two should be alone." One by one each one left the Tai and Rika alone.

Tai walk onto Rika's bed. When Rika sat next to her, he ask, "So how are?' Rika just glare at Tai. "Right stupid question," Tai said, "How do you feel at the moment?"

"I feel weak," Rika said, "I hate relying on others. Like you, how you never had anyone take care of your problems."

"I had to rely on Agumon as you with Renamon," Tai said, "There is one thing that I learn when I became a digimons and that is that outside of a battle digimons rely on humans but in a battle human rely on digimons. Sometime as I watch Agumon fight, I wish I could help him and as a digimon I can. I may need help to digivolve but win or lose I know I did more to help than watch and tell my partner what to do. Feeling better?" Tai asked. Rika nodded but remain silent.

"At the moment I want to find out if digi-modify still work," Rika thought out load.

"Let's try," Tai said as we ran to the doorway.

Rika walk out to the yard. In the yard Kari was playing with Gatomon. On her belt was her and Tai's digivice. Kari and Gatomon stop and watch as Rika summons Renamon. She pulled out a card. "Digi-modify" Rika yelled a she slash a card through her d-arc. A beam went from her d-arcs to a digivice on Kari's belt and then to Renamon. Rika smile a she look at Renamon with two pair of dragonfly wings. "It works," Rika said.

"Hum Rika," Renamon said, "You should look behind you." Rika turn her head to look at two pair of dragonfly wings coming out of her back.

"At least it work," Tai said. Rika pointed behind Tai so look behind him to see the same wings that are on Renamon and Rika. Kari giggles watching Tai trying to fly. Every time he got a few inches off the ground, he lost control and slammed into the grass. Rika dear not try because of Tai blunders.

"Look like you need to train to use the modify," Renamon said.

"Great just when I think I got being a digimon down something new happen," Tai said. Renamon smiled at the cute digimon in front of her.

Tai look at Rika and said, "I hope you're ready because his is a major change in you lifestyle."
