Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Winter Inside of Me ❯ Fire can melt ice... ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon in any way, shape, or form. Please don't sue me. This fic is sorta a Rukato, but sorta not, so I'm confused. I forgot to mention this before, but there are some name changes:
Henry Wong becomes Lee Jenrya
Suzy Wong becomes Suzi Jenrya
I loathe the name Henry.

Italics: thinking

Ch.3

Lee listened to Suzi playing with Terriermon and Lopmon. Poor guys, what did they do to deserve that? He walked over to his window and looked down on the snowy streets below. The were empty, except for a solitary figure trudging along.

Rika, he knew instinctively. He took his digivice out of his desk drawer. Why? Why is Suzi a digi-detined? And why? Why is Rika behaving like this? She was finally warming up. Then Takato moved away, and she's worse that she was. But why?

Lee put his digivice back into his drawer and grabbed his coat.

"Mom!" he yelled as he ran past the kitchen door, "I'm going for a walk!"

"Lee! It's freezing!" Mrs. Jenrya protested, but her objections were met by a slammed door. Never mind then.

"Rika!" Lee ran out the doors of his apartment building, "Rika, wait up!" The icy wind roared through his flimsy jacket as he raced down the street.

Rika whirled around to face Lee as he caught up to her. "What is it, Lee?", she said, her voice threatening.

"Well," every nerve in Lee's body was screaming Shut up or you'll be creamed!, but he continued, "I was wondering what's wrong."

"Whadda ya mean? You're almost as crazy as goggle boy," Rika smirked.

"You've been all cold since Takato moved away. Why?"

Rika's lavender eyes widened in shock, then narrowed again, "That, Lee Jenrya, is my business, and my business only. Renamon, come and get rid of this creep."

Renamon appeared nearby and started towards Lee.

"Er... Ah..." Lee stammered, "I'll get rid of myself, thanks. You don't need to bother..." He started to walk away, but Renamon's paw on his shoulder spun him to a stop.

"Come here Lee," she whispered, "I need to talk to you about Rika." Lee nodded, and Rika stalked away, satisfied.

"What?" Lee asked, crossing his arms against the cold. Renamon perched on a bench and explained her worries.

"Yeah," Lee agreed after she was done, "I definitely think it has something to do with Takato. But what?"

"Well," Renamon said slowly, "Fire can melt ice..."

"Your point?" Renamon's metaphor finally clicked, "Oh... I get it now..."
