"You'll be my living legacy." Zack Fair "Final Fantasy: Crisis Core"

"He made me feel like I had a heart. It's kinda funny you make me feel the…..same." Axel "Kingdom Hearts II"

When Rika saw Alex sleeping in her bed. She couldn't help but think back to when she first befriended Jade and Ashley.

It was after a Digimon Card Tournament both Jade and Ashley were raising up in the brackets that no one ever expected anyone to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Digimon Queen. The way they played they had the same cold stare Rika once had. Both Jade and Ashley got their own little titles within the Digimon Card Community as well, the Angel of Death and The Virus King respectively. When Jade and Ashley had to go at each other it was a show to remember, the audience watched on the edge of their seat when Ashley became the victor the crowd did not see it coming the crowd did not think that Ashley and Jade would go easy on each other. Ultimately, Rika still won the tournament however she didn't think she'd gain two friends from it.

After everyone left Rika ran into both Jade and Ashley. The two of them grinned. Rika glared at the other girls.

Ashley broke the silence. "Hey, it was a great game," she said.

Rika scoffed. "I'm the Digimon Queen you winning was unlikely," said Rika. She pushed past them Jade and Ashley glanced at each other.

Jade laughed. "Guess she's as cold as everyone says she is. We should start calling her the Ice Queen then," said Jade.

Rika stared at them with confusion. "Why are you two not afraid of me?"

Ashley shrugged. "I guess it's cuz we really want to be your friend. I mean we do go to the same school after all. I sit three seats behind you I always get kicked out of class because I refused to follow the dress code. Jade sit three seats on the right of me she's the one that always eggs on everything I do." said Ashley.

Rika's realization clicked in. "Wait how did I not realize that?"

Jade grinned with her hands behind her back. "Because no one has tried to befriend you. Everyone is scared of what you'll do. So, you do not try to pay attention to the idiots around you."

Rika nodded. "Okay, fine I'll be your friend. If you can handle me."

Ashley smirked. "I doubt that wouldn't be a problem."

Following that event, Rika kept to her word and got to know the two other girls. She hadn't realized how much they all had in common. What they always seemed to talk about was how they never knew what it was like to be loved by their parents. Ashley openly stated she never did since she was three after her parents were murdered right in front of her while Jade just can't remember because her parents died shortly after born. When both Ashley and Jade were kids they were raised by siblings. Rika was starting to enjoy their company which surprised her because she had a natural distant for all people expect her grandmother (though she never really showed it).

When she invited the two over to her place was when she fully realized that Jade and Ashley were being true friends to her. Ashley was dressed in Slytherin everything she had a denim vest with the Death Eater sigil, as well as a Slytherin t-shirt she had a Slytherin beanie, as well as a Slytherin backpack, while Jade had a Panic! At the Disco tank top with booty shorts, they are the complete opposite when it comes to style but has the same interests. Which is something Rumiko can't stand.

The three of them were talking when Rika brought up relationships. "The way you two act I wouldn't surprised if you two dated," said Rika.

Ashley broke out in full on laughter. "Oh man, how did you figure that out!? Hell I even dated her girlfriend once and she's dated mine," said Ashley.

Rika jaw dropped. "What the fuck?!"

Jade blushed. "Our friend group was small. It's still small!" said Jade.

Ashley shrugged. "Almost everyone in our pack have or has dated with someone in our group. Hell Jade has dated one of my ex-girlfriends," said Ashley.

Rika looked at them with a very confused look. "You're just okay with that?"

Jade nodded. "It's just how life is. Our group just so happens to be heavily LGBT and a safe place for being a hybrid," said Jade.

Rika still looked confused. "Hybrids?"

Ashley grinned as she let her eyes glow red. "I'm a werewolf-elf and Jade's a genie-witch," said Ashley.

Rika grinned. "That's pretty cool," she said.

Jade shrugged. "You're the first person to think so."

Ashley glanced at her phone. "Aww man, I gotta go. I promised Luna that we'd have a real date night. So, I'm taking her out to the movies and getting ramen afterward." said Ashley.

She got up and grabbed her Boosted board. Then a loud crash happened. The three of them looked at each before turning towards the source of the sound. There was a large cloud. "What the heck is that?" asked Rika.

Jade grinned. "Let's find out! Whoa….what the….what's this blue card?" asked Jade when her card reader fell out of her pocket.

Ashley shrugged when she pulled out her card reader to have the exact same card as well. "What the hell? You got the same card to Rika?" asked Ashley.

Rika didn't answer she just pulled out her card reader. "That's strange I don't have one."

Ashley and Jade swapped the card as their Digi-readers turned into Digivices. "This is so cool! Let's go inside," said Jade.

The three girls walked in it was oddly clear inside the fog. Both Jade and Ashley's Digivice pointed them into the center of the fog. A pair of dark red eyes and piercing ice blue ones appeared causing both Jade and Ashley to collapse on the ground fearing for what was gunna happen next.

Ashley gathered herself quickly letting her eyes glow red letting out a loud howl. "You can't scare me!" said Ashley.

A disembodied voice chuckled. "That's good to hear seeing as we're not here to kill you."

Before any of them could respond a large gust of wind pushed them back kicking up dirt. The three of them covered their eyes. "My king it is great to finally meet you."

Rika, Ashley, and Jade opened their eyes as their jaws dropped as there was three Digimon standing right in front of them. "Yo, this has got to be a joke. Really funny Rika you can stop now," said Jade.

Rika shook her head. "You really think I could come up with such an elaborate prank when I've been with you guys all day! How could I give you two a random blue card that I have never since in my life and have it change your card readers? I'm not magic, Jade! That's you and Ashley since you're some kind of supernaturals after all." said Rika.

The large lion kneeled in front of Ashley. "You have nothing to fear. We're your Digimon partners."

Ashley tilted her head. "We? I get more than one?" asked Ashley.

The Digimon nodded. "My name is Flaremon and this right here," said Flaremon as he places a cute blue bear with boxing gloves on the floor right next to him. "This is Gaomon we're fairly new to the Digiverse so I do not blame you for not know who we are," said Flaremon.

Jade finally got up from the ground. "Alright, then that must mean…." Jade did not finish her sentence as a black Renamon stood in front of her. "I am your creation, Jade," said DarkRenamon.

Ashley glanced at her friend. "I drew a Renamon when I was younger but I wanted a black one because BlackWarGreymon was cool but I was scared of him as a child. So, I made DarkRenamon….I was gunna call her Black-Renamon but it didn't have the same ring to it." said Jade. "Then I later learned about Kuzuhamon and for me, it didn't make sense that there wasn't a virus version of Renamon. Anyways, that's the story behind DarkRenamon," explained Jade.

Ashley tilted her head. "Huh, I never thought of that."

Rika glanced at Goamon. "So, what I don't get a Digimon either?" asked Rika.

Gaomon stood behind Ashley's leg. "C-Check your pocket again," he said.

Flaremon chuckled. "Gaomon, is kinda shy don't worry he'll get used to you guys," said Flare.

Rika checked her pocket once again when she found the blue card she swiped it on her Digi Reader. When it turned into a Digivice with a blue and white she eyed it before they heard Rika's Digimon jumping from tree to tree before appearing right behind her. "You called for me?"

Rika stepped back to look at her Digimon. "Renamon how fitting of a choice," said Rika.

Renamon side glared Rika. "I hope I can be of use to you."

Before any of them could say another word a loud growl rang through. As Megidramon slithered through. He lowered his head towards Jade.

Jade placed her hand on his nose. "I am also a tamer of this big fellow? Damn, I must be good."

Flaremon shook his head. "Well, you're not his tamer however he has gotten a liking to you that he wants to be our second for now. Perhaps in the future, if you have a child they will be his tamer. But for now, he will be loyal to you and only you. He will protect anyone you deem is worthy." said Flaremon.

Jade grinned. "That is the coolest thing ever!" said Jade as she hopped on Megidramon's shoulder.

Rika stood there eyeing Renamon she'd always been using her cards when she'd get the chance but she never thought she'd actually see one.

Rika smiled at the memory Jade and Ashley have been very good to her and she's very grateful for that. Thinking about to those times brought back the bad memories of how she treated Renamon, she will never get over how she neglected the fox's feelings in her quest to have her Digivolve. She returned to her room as she flopped onto her bed as she let out a dragged out sigh.

Renamon appeared from the shadows. "That can't be good. What's wrong, Heartbreaker anything I can help you with?" asked Renamon.

Rika shook her head. "Not really," she said.

Renamon walked over to the bed as she sits next to Rika. "Want to talk about it?"

Rika sat up placing her head on Renamon's shoulder taking hold of the fox Digimon's hand. "I'm still a bit salty about my mother. However, that's not the real reason why I'm frustrated."

Renamon nodded. "Rika, you have to tell me what you're feeling I cannot read your mind," said Renamon.

Rika sighed. "Renamon….I….shit I don't know how to say it…."

Renamon kissed Rika's knuckles. "Whatever it is you know I will not judge you at all."

Rika bit her bottom lip. "I think I want to find my dad….I know it a risky idea but at this point, I want to do it. Mom clearly doesn't want anything to do with me and I hate her for everything she's taken from me. I think it's time I track down papa…..everything went wrong the moment he left."

Renamon took hold of Rika's hand. "If you truly want to do that I will be there by your side all the way. However, do you blame your father for how things turned out with your relationship with your mother?"

Rika nodded. "Totally and completely but not in a negative way. It's not his fault mom throw me into thinking I didn't want to do. I think she was jealous how much I wanted to hang out with him do things that he did. I remember helping him fix the car. I heard the argument they were having when they got divorced. I woke up because I heard the yelling….mom….Rumiko….kept saying to dad that she gave birth to a daughter, not a son. Dad defended me in every way she's just likes hanging out with me, she wants to learn how to fix things, she's a tomboy and my favorite one of all….even if I learned I was transgender in some way that the way she was reacting to everything would only make things worse. She told him to get out and never come back papa fought every day for me but this was a battle he couldn't win he wanted to take me with him but the court ruled in favor of my mother….and I never saw him again."

Renamon nodded. "I don't know much about human relationships when it comes to family but I can say that it seems unfair that you grew up without a father just because your mother didn't want you to be one of the guys or so I've heard be a lesbian."

Rika chuckled. "Oh boy that's an understatement. I'll ask Ashley and Luna to help me hack into the court files on why he was denied joint courtesy of me."

Renamon smiled kissing Rika's forehead before she disappeared back into the shadows. Rika fell asleep as soon as Renamon left the thought of meeting her dad for the first time in fifteen years Rika doesn't remember much about her father but she does remember loving him dearly, yet she remembers how her demeanor has changed since he left.
