Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ To be a Tamer ❯ What lies beneath ( Chapter 1 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

Disclaimer Short

Comrade Terror: I own Digimon. Bwahaha!

A man walks to CT and whispers something in his ear.

Comrade Terror: What?! *He quickly whips out a cell phone and dials a number* Johnny, Toei is suing me! You have to bail me out!

Johnny Cochran: (On the phone) Don't worry I'll use my Chewbacca defense.

Comrade Terror: Phew! OK before I get into more trouble I had better admit I don't own Digimon, Toei animation does.

A few notes before you begin. I use only Japanese names and attack names. I also use Japanese titles (san, chan, kun etc.). I will translate and Americanize for you at the end of the fic. This story will contain lemons (an explicit sexual scene) so no one under 18 should read this. As in all my stories, the Tamers and their friends are all 13. Also, in Japan, it is legal to have sex at 13 so don't flame me for that.

One other notice: This fic takes place early in the series, but mostly in an alternate timeline. All of the events of the first dozen or so episodes of Tamers never occurred until they were thirteen. Meaning Takato never got Guilmon until age thirteen, Digimon 02 never aired in Japan until 2005, etc.

To be a Tamer

Chapter 1: What lies beneath

It was a typical summer day. Matsuda Takato, a common teenage boy with a not-so common after school activity, hurried through the park, his backpack full of bread rolls. He made his way to a small stone structure with a barred gate. Inside, Guilmon greeted his partner at the door.

"Guess your pretty hungry today, huh?" Takato asked as he unpacked the bread.

"No, it's not that. There's a digimon nearby," the black and red lizard declared, his body stiffened, as he knew battle was imminent.

"Lead the way."

The two soon found the digital fog that housed their opponent. However, they soon found they had been beaten to the punch. Makino Ruki and her digimon Renamon were already battling a rogue Stegomon.

"Hi, Ruki," Takato said cheerfully, although he knew he would probably get yelled at again.

"Go away goggle-head! This is our fight," the violet-eyed snapped.

"I just thought maybe we could, uhh help."

"Shell Needle Rain!" Renamon moved quickly, dodging dozens of needles. She landed a swift jump kick on the left-rear hip of her enemy, momentarily stunning him. She landed a few meters from him ready to go in for the kill.

"As you can see, we don't need your help," Ruki smirked.

That's not what I meant. Why is she always so cold to everyone? She could at least thank me for coming. Wait, why should I even care what she thinks? I should just take Guilmon and leave, so why am I still here? He turned to his digimon, "C'mon buddy we'll let her have this one."

Let me have this one!? Who does he think he is? I've been a tamer far longer than he has. Still, he was only trying to help maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on him. No, why should I pity him, no one pities me and look how great I turned out. She smiled at that, "Renamon, I think it's time we stopped playing around," She drew a card from her deck, "Card slash! Power Charger!"

Renamon, now surging with the card's energy, leapt into the air. She drew her limbs inward preparing for the final blow. "Fox Leaf Arrowhead!" The razor-sharp leaves found their mark. Almost instantly, the Stegomon was deleted and was being absorbed by Renamon. Ruki smiled at her latest victory.

Takato gave one final glance at the two, mostly at Ruki, "She is pretty when she smiles."

"Takato, am I pretty when I smile, too?"

Takato gasped and blushed realizing he had said that aloud. He turned to see Guilmon, who smiling as best he could. Takato sweatdropped at his digimon's naivety, "Uhh, yeah sure," Guilmon opened his mouth and started to speak, "Now, lets go get that bread," Takato quickly added before his digimon questioned further.

~*~

Ruki sat beside the decorative fountain in her yard, contemplating many emotions. Renamon curiously watched her partner from the shadows. Although she never discussed her feelings, Renamon could tell what was bothering her.

Why am I still thinking about this? He's a stupid little boy, nothing more. He's just a stupid, cute little boy. Arg! I'm doing it again.

"You are thinking about the tamer Takato, are you not?" Renamon inquired.

Ruki snapped out of her thoughts, "I don't see how that's any of your business," Is it that obvious, even Renamon can see it.

"Maybe you should speak to him. I am sure he would listen."

"I told you to mind your own damn business!" Ruki usually didn't swear, but she was upset. Maybe she is right, she usually is. No, I can't do that. He would think I'm some sort of cute little schoolgirl with a crush. Then he would just laugh at me and lose any respect for me as a tamer.

"Why do you become nervous whenever I mention Takato. Could it be that you like him?" Renamon's gruff feminine voice asked.

"Just go away. I really don't want to talk about it," Ruki commanded. Renamon nodded and disappeared. She just a digimon what would she know about love. Wait, I said love. What made me think that? I just need to organize my cards. Yes, that always helps me clear my head.

~*~

"What's wrong with you Takato-kun, you seem distracted," Lee Jenrya on the floor of Guilmon's 'home'. He and Takato were sorting through modify cards, finding useful combinations for future battles. Guilmon and Terriermon were on the other side of the room, playing some sort of game.

"Have you ever liked a girl," Takato blushed, "I mean really LIKED, as more than just a friend."

"No, not in that way," the blue-black haired boy replied, "Is it Katou-san?"

"No, she's a nice friend, but I just don't feel that way about her."

Jenrya, who had always pictured Takato being Juri's boyfriend, was now very intrigued, "So, who is it? If you don't mind me asking."

"Promise me you won't laugh or say anything," Takato said. Lee nodded, "OK, it's Ruki, don't ask me why. I just feel something whenever I am around her. Also, when I had that dream, it could have been about any tamer, but it was her."

Guilmon looked up when he heard Ruki's name mentioned, "Takato says Ruki's pretty when she smiles and that she is se…" Takato pounced on Guilmon before he had a chance to finish his sentence.

"Guilmon!" Takato then leaned down and whispered into his ear, "Can we just keep that a secret?" Guilmon nodded as best he could and Takato got off him. Terriermon was laughing uncontrollably at the whole ordeal, and Lee, not wanting to break his promise, muffled a giggle.

Lee was the first to speak, "I don't suppose you've told her, have you?" Takato shook his head, "I'd think about booking a flight to China if she ever found out. I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but she doesn't seem like the 'loving' type to me."

"I can't just keep it a secret forever."

"Jen, isn't it about time to go," Terriermon said, gesturing toward the sun. Lee looked and nodded.

"Wait, where are you going?" Matsuda asked nervously.

Lee smiled, "To China."

"Ha Ha, very funny."

"Actually I really am. I'm visiting my grandparents."

"And I'm going to get away from Shuichon," Terriermon added.

Takato and Lee sweatdropped, "She's still into dolls?"

Jenrya shrugged, "Yeah. I guess some things don't change with age."

"Anyway, what about my problem?"

"Well Takato-kun, my only advice to you is take it at your own pace. You ARE only thirteen. You don't exactly have to go looking for a girlfriend already. Beyond that, I'm afraid your own. See you next week, " Lee said as he walked away with Terriermon on his head.

Takato waved goodbye to his friends while listening to them fight.

"What do you mean Shuichon is coming, too!"

"You actually thought she was going to stay home?"

"Why didn't you warn me?"

"Would you have agreed to come if I did?"

"Touché."

Takato laughed and turned back to Guilmon, "I don't suppose you have any advice for me, do you?" a completely puzzled look told him 'No' Lee might be right about being young but I am going to go crazy if I don't do something. That does it! I am going to talk to her tomorrow. If she kills me, at least I'll have my answer, "I had better go, too. See you tomorrow, Guilmon."

~*~

Takato was walking home when an unusual surge of wind got his attention, "Who's there?" he asked, scanning the area.

"It is only me," Renamon said, stepping from the shadows, "May I speak with you?"

She has never wanted to talk to me before. I might as well humor her, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

"Ruki," came her answer.

Takato became slightly nervous at the mentioning of her name, but quickly composed himself, "Look, if Ruki wants to battle me again tell her the answer is still no."

"If I wanted to fight you I could have ambushed you a while ago. This is something more serious."

"OK then what is it?" Matsuda asked, slightly annoyed at the fox's arrogance.

"I believe it is something Ruki-san should tell you herself."

"So why did she send you then?"

"She," Renamon fidgeted, "did not."

"What!?"Impossible, she has always been totally loyal to Ruki. Why on earth would she do this?

"I need not explain myself to you. I only ask that you speak to Ruki," the sincerity in her voice was genuine.

Well, I was going to talk to her anyway. What could it hurt, "OK, I'll come and talk to her tomorrow after school. This had better not be a trick."

"It is not, and come alone," she finished before disappearing.

How does she always do that? Alone huh. What could she want with just me, unless… OK now I'm being a little too optimistic. Ack, look at the time! I'm going to get in trouble again.

~*~

"You did what?!" Ruki was furious.

"I did not tell him anything. I only asked him to talk to you."

"I never told you to do that."

"I am sorry," Renamon hung her head slightly, "I just, did not want you to be sad anymore."

Ruki, staring into the fox's concerned eyes, calmed down somewhat, "What did he say?"

"He said he would speak to you after school."

Ruki only nodded. Great, now what am I going to tell him. Stupid digimon, she just couldn't do what she was told.

~*~

The following day Takato was making his way the Makino residence. He had told his parents he was going to the park to play cards with Hirokazu and Kenta. Shesh, why does she have to live so far away? I hope this isn't some kind of joke.

Meanwhile Ruki was just getting home, "Ruki, I need you to stay after class and help tutor some students," she said, mocking her teacher. It's not my fault they're too stupid to understand. She noticed a note from her mother and read it. 'Your grandmother is out shopping and I have a date with Yoshi (Yoshi, I thought she was dating Shinjo. She goes through men like a baby goes through diapers.) There's food in the refrigerator. Take care' Like she even cares. I'm surprised she remembered the food. "Renamon?"

Renamon stepped from the shadows, "Yes, Ruki."

"Has Takato shown up yet?"

"No," a knock came at Ruki's front door, "That must be him. I will leave you two alone."

"No, wait," Renamon had already disappeared. Ruki sighed and went to answer the door.

~*~

Takato stood outside the door, his palms wet with sweat. He nervously raised his hand and knocked on the door. I hope she isn't home. No, wait I hope she is home. Well, maybe I can hope… too late it's opening.

"Hello, goggle-head," Ruki said dully.

" Hi Ru…" Takato trailed off and went wide-eyed. Ruki stood in her school uniform, which consisted of a knee level skirt and short-sleeved shirt. Wow! I had no idea how good she looks in a dress. No, must act normal.

"What's your problem?" Ruki asked, annoyed. She glanced down at herself. Damn it! I completely forgot to change. He's surely lost all respect for me as a powerful tamer now. I can only imagine what he's thinking. Various dirty thoughts pop into Ruki's head. Stupid goggle-head, now he has me thinking it, too.

"S-so Renamon said you wanted to, umm, uhh, talk," Takato finally finished.

"Not if you are going to just stare at me and stutter the whole time."

"Sorry," Takato's whole face turned beet red, "It's just that you look, nice," Oh god, I shouldn't have said that.

Nice, he actually thinks I look nice. Ruki thought. Aloud she said, "I can tell. I thought I would have to pick your eyes up off the floor. Come on." She led him to her large yard near her decorative fountain.

Ugh, this isn't going well. OK, quick think of something good to say, "You have a nice house."

"You've been to my house before. I'm going to go change," If I didn't know better I'd say he was trying to hit on me.

All right, I give up, "Look Ruki-chan, I am just trying to be nice. I didn't mean to stare. Would you just take a compliment?"

"I," Ruki suddenly realized what he said, "Did you just call me Ruki-chan?"

Uh oh, how could I be so stupid, "I, I said Ruki-san. You must be hearing things."

This is my chance to find out what he really thinks of me, "No, you said chan what made you say that?" Ruki asked calmly.

Here goes, be brave Takato, "I kind of like you, a little bit, sort of," he closed his eyes, "You can kill me now."

Ruki was happy and hurt at the same time, "I'm not going to kill you, Takato."

"You called me Takato. Does that mean what I think it does?" Takato wondered, feeling comforted by her words.

By this time, Ruki had almost forgotten about her powerful tamer routine, "That depends on what you are talking about," she said moving closer to him.

Maybe Lee's right. I don't think I'm ready for this, "Uhh weren't you going to change?"

He's cute when he's nervous, "I thought you said I looked nice in a dress," she said coyly.

"Well, yeah," Takato began to back step, "It's just that…"

"I intimidate you," Ruki finished his sentence for him.

"A little bit," Takato laughed, sensing Ruki's attempt to calm him.

"Sorry, I never really socialize with anyone. My mom is always out with some guy. I don't have any real friends," Ruki paused and looked toward the ground, "I've never told anyone that before. I guess no has really cared to hear what I have to say."

Takato placed a hand on her shoulder, "I care."

She looked up into his brown eyes. He really does care. I should have seen it before. She kissed him on the cheek.

"What was that for?"

"For helping me realize something very important," she kissed him again, this time on the lips.

I can't believe this is really happening. I don't understand why Lee told me I needed to wait. Takato had kissed Juri once before but that was more of a quick peck. This was a kiss with the girl he had always wanted. He closed his eyes, put his arms around Ruki and drew her into a deeper kiss. His tongue found it's way into her mouth. Ruki moaned softly as she returned the favor.

After a few minutes they broke the kiss. Ruki, either not thinking about or just not caring if grandmother came home, sat down in the cool grass and motion to Takato to do the same. He unconsciously obeyed. They kissed once again. Ruki pulled him on top of her.

Takato, being a virgin, would have been nervous, but his hormones had full control of him now. His right arm snaked under the shirt her gray-white school uniform and massaged her developing breasts through her bra. He wasn't quite sure what he was doing but his lover's moans beckoned him to continue.

Ruki, likewise a virgin, had fewer inhibitions. She was often sure of herself and now she was sure she needed this. She gently pushed him off of her. She smiled down at him as she undid and removed her shirt. Her bra came off just as quickly.

Takato was now staring in awe at a sight he had only imagined. He felt his own arousal growing as he removed his shirt. The topless teens entered into their fourth kiss of the evening. Their tongues danced in each other mouths. Takato felt her hands begin to undo his pants, "Ruki-chan are you sure you want to do this?" he asked as if he just realized what was happening.

"I never start anything I don't intend to finish, and just call me Ruki, ok?" Ruki reminded.

Now that he was sure of her intentions, Takato took the offensive. After kicking his pants off, he began to pull down Ruki's dress.

Now he's finally getting into it, Ruki thought as she allowed him to remove her panties. She returned the favor by removing his briefs. Takato blushed slightly as his fully erect member was now in full view. She took it into her hand and rubbed it gently, "Does that feel good?" a question she already knew the answer to.

"Yeah," Takato said stupidly. This was the greatest experience of his life. She suddenly stopped her treatment, "Hey why'd you stop?"

She leaned down and whispered into his ear, "I think it's time we go further," she said seductively. Takato gave her a rather nervous look, "but if you don't want to…" she let the sentence trail off.

Oh god, how I want to. What could it hurt, just this once, "I was kind of nervous, I mean I just didn't want to force you into anything," he answered.

"I was nervous, too," Ruki admitted, "I thought you'd hate me if I told you how I felt. My fears caused me to miss out on something important, I'm not making that mistake again."

Looking in her violet eyes, he couldn't have refused even if he had wanted to. He rolled over so that he was now on top of her. He looked into her eyes, asking one final, unsaid question.

"Do it, Taka-chan."

Unaware of the female anatomy, Takato entered her rather swiftly, breaking her hymen. She cried out, mostly in pain, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'll sto…"

Ruki placed her hand over his mouth, "It's supposed to be like that the first time. Please don't stop, I know you want this as much as I do," her words comforted him

He had seen a side of Ruki that no one, not even her mother, knew. Her caring side, the side she kept buried deep within her. He began to pump slowly in and out of her. They embraced tightly, cheeks caressing one another. Takato, his instincts taking over, kissed and sucked lightly on her neck.

Ruki was now thrusting in sync with her lover. She opened her eyes briefly to see the sun going down over the tall buildings. Makino knew her grandmother would be home soon, but she didn't care. Takato was now thrusting harder, moaning her name softly. She felt her orgasm approach, "Oh Takato, that feels so good," she said in between moans.

Takato's own climax was just a few thrusts away. He held it back as best he could, wanting their pleasure to last as long as possible, as he went deeper and deeper into her. Their hips crashed together, sending waves of pleasure through their bodies. Any moans were muffled as they kissed with fiery passion.

Breaking the kiss, Ruki hugged Takato tightly, "Takato, I love you," she whimpered. That sent him over the edge. He cried out loudly as he filled her with his seed. Seconds later, Ruki had her own orgasm, her juices mixing with his.

They both lay panting and sweating for several minutes. Takato finally pulled out of his love, "I love you too, Ruki," he finally said, kissing her on the forehead.

"Ruki-chan, I'm home," Ruki's grandmother called from inside the house.

"Get dressed," Ruki ordered. They quickly got dressed before Ruki grandmother opened the door to the Makino backyard, "Oh, h-hi," Ruki stuttered, "this is a friend from school he just came by to, umm…"

"Play Digimon cards," Takato finished, showing the pack of modify cards he kept with him at all times, "It's not often you can play against one of the best card players in Japan."

"Yes, I know," her grandmother smiled with pride, "she always wins those big game things."

"Tournaments," Ruki corrected, "Takato was just leaving. I'll go see him out."

~*~

Outside the Makino house Ruki and Takato stood staring at one another. It was Takato who broke the silence, "I guess I had better go."

"Taka-chan?"

"What?"

"Don't tell anyone about today, or about us. OK?"

"Alright, but why?"

"I have my reasons, and I meant what I said earlier," she leaned in and kissed him briefly, "I love you."

"So did I," he kissed back, "I really have to get home. Goodnight Ruki."

"Goodnight, Taka-chan. Oh by the way I might have to challenge you to another card battle sometime."

"What?" he then registered what she really meant and blushed, "OH, I'd definitely like that," he said a little too enthusiastically.

~*~

Later that night Ruki was preparing for bed, "Did you tell him?"

Ruki, having gotten used to Renamon's abrupt way of dropping in, was not startled, "You could say that."

"Why are you blushing?"

"I'd rather not say, and Renamon…"

"Yes, Ruki."

Ruki walked over to Renamon and hugged her suddenly, "Thank you."

Renamon was totally taken aback. Ruki had never so much as given her a pat on the back and never thanked her. She knew something had happened today but chose to respect her partners privacy, "You are welcome," Ruki yawned, "You look exhausted. You should rest," Renamon chose again not to question why Ruki looked so worn out

"I probably should, goodnight Renamon."

Goodnight Ruki," Renamon disappeared as quickly as she had come. Ruki lay down in her bed and went to sleep, dreaming of Takato and the love he had shared with her that day.

Author's Notes: I hope you liked it. I tried to keep it as realistic and in character as I could while still allowing the fic to work. Sorry the lemon wasn't very extensive, but remember these ARE only 13 year olds. They aren't the most experienced people in the world. As always R&R. Don't flame me because I won't bother to read them. However, like any writer, I want to improve my skills so if you have any constructive criticism, feel free to submit it.
