---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
He didd'nt worry for a moment what would happen to him. Taking that leap off the building after her caused the fire within him to burn out of control. His anger moments before was replaced with a strange, almost frightening feeling to him- that he actually cared about this girl... he might even go as far as saying he loved her.
Plummeting headlong down the side of the building, he felt a fammiliar yet rare feeling spill form within himself. His whole body grew warm- almost as if he was melting like candle wax.
His power quickly outgrew his body, surrounding him in a violent ball of purple light.
"Impmon warp digivolve to...!"
His massive, powerful wings exploded out behind him, causing his body to hang in the air for a moment.
"...Beelzebumon!" He finnished, in a deeper, smoother voice. He then folded his wings, and like a hawk dropped swiftly, ever closer to the ground.
Sydney was falling fast. her small body sprawled out like a limp doll. Her arms, so painfully thin seemed to reach out to him- but her eyes were clamped shut, awaiting her impact with the sidewalk.
I can't let her get away from me... he thought, in determination that scared even himself- I can't let her die!
Their downward decent had quickly increased in speed- Beelzebumon could make out the small dark specks as people now.
"Syd...ney!" He called to her, sheilding his eyes from the wind with one arm. He was close now-
-he was almost there-
-When he felt his arms close around her petit form, the wave of relief that washed over him was nearly overpowering.
He spread his wings out to break their fall...
...they were less then 20 feet from the ground.
The realization of what had just happened was like a cold slap in the face.
Absolutely and utterly overpowered, all he could do was hold her frail body to his, and bury his face in her raven hair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Her mouth was slightly open, her chest rose and fell with each breath she took.
Impmon, now back to his rookie self, gazed silently at her sleeping face. His head was resting gently on her belly, one arm draped over it as well.
She was warm against his skin, the slow rythm of her torso moving up and down filled him with a strange sense of comfort. He slowly traced the graceful curve of her hip with his palm, burning every essense of her into his memory.
I came so close to losing you... he thought. I don't want you to feel alone anymore... I am here, for as long as you want me...
He breathed in her scent deeply, immortalizing the moment.
He had never felt this content- well, not since that day in the park- or the time when she had... kissed him... if that had even been real.
Impmon wasnt truly sure. He tipped up his face a little to see hers.
She really isn't that bad looking for a human... he thought.
He pulled himself to a sitting position, not taking his gaze off her. If only i could get close to her-
-he paused, his face over hers now- feeling his heart pounding in his ribcage. He closed his eyes, imagining their lips meeting again- then Sydney would tell him that ever since they'd met she had secretly been pining away for him-
"-What are you doing?"
Impmon's eyes popped open.
Sydney was looking up at him, giving him a sleepy look.
This doesnt look good... he realized. He was practically on top of her, his face so close their noses alomst touched.
"I- I was just looking at- something!" He stuttered. "-And- i saw it so- yeah."
Red- faced he climbed off of her and stood on the floor instead.
"How long have i been asleep?" She mumbled, rubbing her sleeve over her eye.
"Since yesterday afternoon." He replied, scratching his nose with his gloved finger. After a moment he looked back at her.
She was looking down at her won hands, looking so painfully confused...
"...Why am i still here?" She asked quietly, resting her forehead in her palms.
It was silent for a moment- but this time, he spoke up.
"Because... I want you... here." He said quietly.
She wiped her hand over her face again.
"Really...?"
He scuffed his heel on the carpet.
"Well... yeah." He replied.
For a moment, it was quiet- and neather of them moved, or uttered a sound.
"Impmon..." She whispered, her voice wavering.
"Uhh...!" Was all he was able to squeak before she threw her arms around him.
"Thank you." She whispered, her lips brushing his ear. "I want you here too."
If he were an ice cream cone, he would have melted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Sydney's mood improved over the next few days. Partly because her father was out bar hopping and, he hoped, maybe a little because of him too.
Impmon stuck to her like glue, he felt as if he needed to be near her as much as possible.
Almost a week after the building incident, things seemed to get only better between them. They spent all day togeather, and, strangely, he felt himself enjoying every minuet of it.
And yet, somthing inside of him told him it was not yet over- that something was not yet realized. His thoughts were interrupted by her voice.
"Impy."
He turned to face her, at that moment.
Her eyes, now shined with her own light-
-and hope-
Though her struggles with her family were far from over- she knew she had someone-
-and that someone, was her partner, He himself.
Once bitter with a hate for humans- once hurt by ones he thought cared for him- Sydney had opened his heart in ways he never thought possible.
"What are you thinking?" She asked him, while they sat side by side in the park.
Her voice statrled him for a moment.
"Oh... you know... stuff.:"
She grinned. "What kind of stuff?"
"Y' know... just... stuff."
She raised an eyebrow- "Is it a secret?"
He paused for a second, considoring this.
"Kinda..." He mumbled feeling his cheeks redden.
"Will ya ever tell me?" She bopped him with her hip playfully.
"Maybe..." He replied, looking at her. "-But only if youre good!"
She giggled. "I'm always good...! well, most of the time!" She got to her feet, and dusted off her black pants. "Let's go get a soda." She said, extending her arm to him.
Maybe there's a way... he thought, reaching up and taking her hand. I just have to find it... Wrapped in his thoughts, it took him a moment to realize she was talking to him again. He shook his head to clear it.
"How 'bout root-beer?"
He blinked up at her, his green eyes looking into the dark abyss of her own. After a moment, he felt himself smile.
"Sure."
She held her arms out to him, scooping him up slowly. He draped his arms around her neck, breathing in her sweet, personal scent.
I want to get closer to you... he thought. I want to tell you how i feel about you, Syd-chan.
Something caught his attention- a small white and purple creature popped up in the bushes from behind them.
Culumon...? He thought. What is he doing here... Did he follow us...?
The little digimon winked, and gave him a thumbs up signal.
Impmon blinked, then grinned to himself.
"Hey, Syd?"
"Hm?"
He moved back a little bit, so he could see her face. He widened his eyes the way Culumon always did when he wanted something-
"...When we get home... can i have a belly- rub...?"
-THE END-

Hello there! That's it, the concluding chapter of my first Impmon fanfic, "Shattered" Did you like it? ^^ I sure enjoyed writing it, and i enjoyed your comments and encouragement even more! (A special thanks to Jen- Thanks for getting my lazy ass to update this! If it werent for you, id still be on the first chapters!!! And i thank the rest of you, the readers as well. ^^)

I think it's going to be good... and Impmon's bond with his new tamer is pushed to the limets this time! What will happen when the horrible children who dismissed him want him back?!?! Youll just have to wait and see! MUAHAHA! ^^
Its funny, now that i think of it... When i put up chapter 8, a LOT of people thought Sydney was DEAD! I couldnt help myself from laughing- i REALLY did a good job i guess! I wanted people to THINK she was done for, but would Impy let her? I THINK NOT! lol ^^
On that topic, another funny thing- a pairing i like to call SydImp ^^ Sydney was not only thought up by me to be a better tamer for the poor little guy i love so much, but after a while, i also realized a digimon and their partner being in love would be kinda cute too... the thought appealed to me so much, these two have sort of become my faveorite pairing ^^ I cant STAND RenaImp... EW!!!! And Impmon just sucks paired to anyone in the show anyway so... SydImp is born! *laughs insanely* You can expect more "Stuff" going on between these two in "Blur" and my doujinshi as well. =) (I am open to suggetions! eehee! email me on that note! *wink*)
