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 18

Rika woke up. She did not open her eyes so she the morning calmness. In her mind, she complained about the dream she had last night. She rolled onto her back and then felt she was laying on something. She opened her eyes and look down to see what was wrong. There she found a small red and white fur cover body. She moved her paw down her body. She could feel her paw as it moving over the body. She pushed herself to her back paw. She look around to see that she was in her mother's room. She started to look around for a way down but the only way she found was jumping from the two story high bed. "Look who's awake," came from behind Rika. There was her mother ready for a business meeting. Before Rika could complain her mother lifted her up and left the room.

Rika hated being carried like a baby but her mother did not listen to Rika's demands. She was carried into the dinning room. None of the digimons could be seen. Rika was finally place on the ground. Rika's grandmother came up to Rika with a plate of food. She hated having other taking care of her but there was nothing she could do about it. The world around her was made for humans not a small fox.

After Rika was done with the plate and seconds, she walk to her room's door. She looks up at the door and remembered that she could not reach the door handle. Luckily for her the door started to open but Kari and four digimons came out. "What were you doing in my room?" Rika yelled.

Kari did not notice Rika until she yelled. She looks down at the small fox and said, "Since you are too small to use the bed in her, your mother let me use it." Rika wanted to yelled but before she could Kari started to rub her behind her ear. She found herself standing there unable to free her body from the pleasure.

"That so cute," Rika's mother said.

"Mom," Rika yelled as she hid her face in Kari's leg without thinking.

"Sorry, but Jeri is here," Rika's mother said.

Soon after Tai and Rika found themselves on Jeri's lap. One by one the digi-destined and tamers came to Rika's home. They were all amazed by Rika's new body but Ryo who just laugh at her. Takato was the last to arrive with Davis. Davis looks at the new digimon on Jeri's lap and asked, "Is that your new partner?'

"No, it's Rika, " Jeri responded. Takato walk up to Rika and pulled her into a hug. She was glade that she had red fur so that her blushing could not be seen by the others. Renamon appear making several humans and digimon jump.

"Rika, I think we should start your training," Renamon said.

"Don't forget to take Tai with you," Kari said. Tai jump from Jeri's lap while Jeri place Rika on the ground.

As Rika walked she could feel each blade of grass. She looks up at Renamon. Renamon never train another digimon. She's did not know how to start. Rika grunted at the movement of her partner. As Rika stair at her partner she felt something hit her tail making it slap her side hard. She turns to look at Tai smiling. "What are you thinking?" Rika yelled.

"Since you can't do anything to stop me, I thought it would be fun," Tai said. Rika narrow his eyes as she ran to the ball. She throws the ball as hard as she could at Tai but Tai kick it out of the way. "My turn," Tai said as he walks over to the ball but before he could Terriermon got it. The next thing Tai and Rika knew they were surrounded by digimons throwing the ball at them.

"Stop that!" Jeri yelled a she ran at the group. Takato grab her hand.

Davis walks next to Jeri and said, "It may not look like it but this is for the best of Rika." Jeri's head fell onto Takato shoulder.

"I just don't want Rika to get hurt," Jeri said as Takato started to feel moister on his shirt.

"This is just like the game they play," Kari said, "And none of them got hurt from that game." All the humans return to the living room. Izzy started to talk about his research. The air pooled in the room as if it became bored of Izzy's speech. Jeri was messing with her d-arc. She wear it like a locket to remember her lost partner. Soon the digimons walk into the room.

"What happen to Rika?" Takato asked as he looks around.

"She and Tai are still in the yard," Gabumon said.

Jeri, Takato, and Kari walk into the yard. There Gatomon was helping Tai and Agumon was trying to lift the sleeping Rika. Jeri walk up to Rika. Rika open her eyes to look Jeri. Rika did not have the energy but that did not mean that she was going to be carry without a fight. "Please don't fight," Jeri said with a soft smile, "you need to rest." After hearing that Rika lost all her will to fight. If it were anyone else she would fight until she could not breathe.

She was not bother about Jeri holding her and that what got to her. She felt some one rubbing her stomach. She looks down to see Takato rubbing her and then her checks started to feel warm. She smiled to herself that she found one good thing about being a digimon. She turns to looks at Jeri's d- arc. Rika grab it. Jeri felt something tugging the back of her neck so she looks down at Rika looking at her d-arc.

Soon there was a shin from the d-arc. When the shin was gone so was the static. Rika look up at Jeri and them back to the d-arc. Jeri grab Rika in a hug. Rika fell asleep in Jeri's arms. Jeri sat in the living room and Takato sat next to her. While stile asleep Rika kicked herself so that she was sleeping on Jeri and Takato lap.

Takato love and hate his life at the moment. He does care about Rika and Jeri. He hated to chose between the two but knew he need to chose between them. Takato felt the same way about Rika being a digimon. He always wanted to hug Rika and was too afraid to but now he feels a little bit braver.

Henry to use the role of speaker, "Even with Jennai giving us the single that Gennai's kind react to. We tried it I don't know how many times but we got nothing."

"Are they some how shielding Gennai?" Matt asked.

"No," Izzy said, "the single can't block."

Tai sat up on Kari's lap. His muscles still weary and he struggle to keep his eyes open. "How do you hold a man that got away from the dark master?" He asked.

"What is he talking about?" Ryo asked.

"Don't know," Matt said, "Ever since he became a digimon he's been giving us encrypted answer."

"Great now we need to play his little game," Ryo said, "Hey rat catcher, what do you mean?"

"What is Gennai made of?" Tai asked before his tiredness over took him.

"Gennai is made of data," Kari said as she rubbed Tai. "Could something happen to his Data?"

"That could be it," Izzy said, "Gennai's body may have responded but it was too weak for us to pick up."

Henry interrupted, "so all we need to do is to monitor the signal closer to it."

"It wouldn't be too hard to modify the D-terminal," Ken said, "The digi- destined can track while a tamer shows them around.

"I'll stay here with Miko," Kari said, "We don't want to make it look like we have more digimons than humans. "

"I'm staying too," Jeri said.

"Let's go," Matt said.

When every one left Gatomon look at Tai. She could make out a grin on his face. "Renamon, can I help you train Rika?" Jeri asked.

"You are her partner," Renamon said. Jeri walk into the back yard and place Rika on the ground. While Rika sleep on the ground, Jeri searches through Rika's battle deck. She pulled out a card. "What you got there?" Renamon asked.

"Recharge Card," Jeri said. "Digi-modify," She yelled as she slides the card through her d-arc. Soon Rika was standing up and looking around. Jeri quickly grab the small fox in a hug. Jeri love how her new partner is softer. Renamon soon start to train Rika the best she could.

Hours later, Rika learn how to use her claw, jump, and some other things. "You learn just as fast as Tai," Gatomon told Rika.

"Whatever," Rika said, "I'm hungry." She walks into the kitchen. She walks over to the refrigerator. She pulled on the door trying to open it but failed. "Look like some one is trying to get lunch," Rika mother said. Rika's mother walks over refrigerator and opens it with ease. Rika watch her mother's move as their owner was preparing food. Rika could do nothing but let her ears drop as she waited for the food. The smell did not help much. Soon other digimon were sitting around her.

Rika's mother walks over to the table with food. The digimons and humans sat around the table as Rika's mother serves them. Last to be serve was Miko. The cat was sitting calmly waiting for food. "What a smart cat," Rika's mother said.

Mike meow in response. "Miko says thanks," Tai said.

"Great a talking cat," Rika said.

"Rika after you are done eating I want you to take a shower," Rika's mothers said.

"That sounds good," Kari said, "Tai and Gatomon could use one too." Soon Gatomon and Tai moaned.

After Tai finish eating he try to sneak away but Jeri grab Tai in a hug. Soon, Kari and Jeri follow Rika's mother to the bathroom. They remove Tai and Gatomon's tail ring and gloves. Normally when Gatomon feels water hitting her body, she tries to find a place to hid. She heard Rika complain to her mother that she can take care of herself.

Rika's mother responded, "Fine Rika, if you can take care of yourself then I'm going. Just yell if you want us." Gatomon could not take it anymore so she readies herself to jump. When she try to jump, her slip and her face in the floor of the bathtub. Tai ran to Gatomon to make sure she was okay.

Rika try to run up the slop at the back of the tub but she soon slip to the bottom of the tub. "Slippery," Rika grunted to herself.

"I'm not ready to give up," Tai said before he tries to run up the slope. He also failed.

Hour later, the water still fell and they gave up. "Mom, you're right "Rika yelled.

Rika's mother soon walks in with a smile on her face. Kari and Jeri follow her in. "So my little fox need my help," Rika's mother said. The started to clear the digimons.

Soon, the three digimons were being rubbed. They were making pleasure sounds. "While you were in there. They found Gennai," Kari said, "We'll leave as soon as you are dry. ~^~ Next chapter:

Gennai back. He may know what made Tai and Rika change and some other things.
