"Yeah. But she is fine, you got to her in time, right Fei." Ryuu said in a business-like tone.
"Of course I did! What do you take me for, an idiot?" Fei said as he crossed his stubby arms across his chest. "What pushed you to go half-insane and go into your first stage anyway? Did somebody seal up your normal ki?"
Ryuu simply pointed in Dustin's direction and chucked. "You may need to have that wound treated, since my Youki is extremely poisonous and acidic. Your strange energy type makes it doubly so, apparently. Just what is that energy you used, anyway? I sealed all possible ki points, chakra points, and mana points. I also know you're human and not anything else, so tell me, preferably before the ki eats away and kills you."

"Yes, I am human, however, I do not use Ki, Mana, or any type of energy that your kind is familiar with. I use a strand of Holy energy, passed down in my generation. How it got there, I have absolutely no idea. And about the poison from the Youki, it's nothing that I'm not familiar with. A few of my father's enemies were demons, after all."
True to his words, most of the wound had already sealed up, and there didn't seem to be any lasting damage. He walked over to Ryuu, and pulled up his sleeve to where his upper arm was showing. Near the center, there was a very thin slash mark. Though it had been there for a long while, the mark was still there.
"This was from the first time I was attacked by a demon, a fox one, at that. After the attack here, I haven't been affected by the acidity of the Youki much. Besides, the holy energy in my body filters out any poisons, it's just an upside to my fortunate lineage, I guess."
"However....that doesn't explain on why the seal didn't force it to recede. It's never failed me before this day. Exactly what is this 'Demon' inside of you?

"You do know that it's eating your energy right? Not just your flesh...." Ryuu said which a chuckle.
Then Ryuu turned serious as he heard a reference to his demon side. "Did he say something, anything of importance to you?" He also added, "My demon inside me is not just any demon, although I haven't figured it out yet. Countless assassins, and many other enemies have tried that on me, but all of them have failed miserably.
So its no surprise that yours failed; I've seen much more powerful and experienced holy beings try and fail spectacularly. In fact, some of the side effects were so bad that they literally killed themselves. Then my demon side ate their souls afterward."
"Where's the blue blob? Haven't seen him around since the fight started." Fei interjected from out of the blue.

"No, you misunderstand me. My holy energy completely purges the Youki from my body. But either way, I can tell that you've been wearing limiters. I can't blame you, it's obvious that you're experienced in the battlefield, and if you weren't, you could have destroyed the place."
Dustin reached his collar, and pulled it down slightly, showing a very intricate seal at the base of his neck.
"You're not the only one in town who wears a limiter. However, I feel that given you were in a demon form, there's no doubt that I would have lost."
After saying this, he held out a hand as a sign of friendship with Ryuu. Maybe they would make a good team one day.
Dustin's eyes shifted to Fei, smiling ever so slightly at his question. "He took cover in a tree nearby. There he is right now." He pointed to a blue blob approaching the area.
The digimon got closer, before saying, "Hey, Dustin....I feel a little funny...."
Chicomon glowed a bright white for a second, before changing shape and involuntarily yelling out, "Chicomon Digivolve to......DemiVeemon!"
In the blob's place stood a bluish dragonlike digimon, with a white face and body. Said digimon gave a yawn, and nestled itself in the crook of the unconscious Kiki's neck.

Ryuu shook his hand with a slight smile. The kid, no Dustin, had proven himself worthy of his respect. This was just like that situation back in Nepal, with Rai. This one though, had potential to become stronger, much stronger than he is now. The question was, will he have the will to go the distance, like he was going thru now?
"Hey Demiveemon, wanna play?" Fei asked in a sudden fit of impishness.
"Let's do this again sometime, but don't do that again, unless you want to meet him again. I have no doubt that he'll kill you in a heartbeat next time." He said with a smile.
'Daiyoukai, huh?' He thought to himself as he fingered the medallion.

Seeing as the girl had been unconscious for a lot of the last part of the battle, she had no clue about the demon inside Ryuu, and would later surely take YukimiBotamon's recount of the event to be false, an intricate dream made up by the partner. However, in this moment, she still lay still, YukimiBotamon inching her way out of the bag as she sensed the fight was over. Watching Fei heal her partner, she fussed worriedly, afraid that the entirety of the wound hadn't been taken care of.
Speaking up finally, although still afraid, the baby digimon inquired as to how Ryuu and Dracomon were doing. As she payed attention to the conversation, she looked concerned, before hopping back to where DemiVeemon was nestled with Kiki. Why hadn't she digivolved yet? She couldn't even do that to help her partner, not that it would've done any good, it sounded. Settling in beside DemiVeemon, she sighed, watching the surrounding people and digimon. "Should we tell her about this when she wakes up?"
Typical for her, Kiki began to stir, moaning a little as she woke. Massive pains throbbed in her head, and an odd itching sensation was occuring on her back, although she remembered close to nothing. Only jumping to save her partner... And now, two digimon on her neck. "... Dustin? Ryuu? Is everyone okay?" Innocent and concerned, the digidestined of light had no idea of the demon that had taken control - to her there was probably some explosion that she was the last to recover from.

Dustin perked up immediately after hearing Kiki stir awake. After bowing his head lightly to Ryuu, he ran over to Kiki and knelt beside her.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry, it's my fault that you're injured. Can I do anything for you?"
And this came out within the time of about 10 seconds. Though he didn't show it, he was d**n well concerned about how she was. Dustin sighed lightly.
"Yeah, everyone's fine right now except for you. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" he asked sincerely, smiling a little nervously.

"Yeah, are you all right Kiki? The blast must have hurt a lot." Ryuu said a bit off-handedly, but some concern still seeped in his voice. After all, she was an innocent, and a non-combatant.
"Kiki? You're awake? Yay! The healing worked." Fei said with cheer as he jumped around and did all sorts of acrobatics.
Ryuu then knelt to Yukimibotamon and whispered, "If you think she's ready, then you may." Then he pat the blob and walked to Kiki and asked, "You need help getting up?"

Blinking, she gently moved her head, so as to not knock the digimon off unexpectedly, but slowly sat up, rubbing her temples. Closing her eyes, she kept her hands on her head for a few brief seconds, before looking up, seeing Dustin right there. YukimiBotamon leapt in joy and snuggled into her lap immediately, glad to see her partner was okay. Smiling a little, Kiki nodded. "Yeah. Aside from a throbbing headache and slight soreness, I'm great! Better than I should be..." Trailing off, she shrugged slightly.
Looking up at Ryuu now, a part of her was touched by the concern that everyone was showing. Smiling, her attention was quickly captivated by the dragon bouncing near her. "Fei! You grew again! Sheesh, that's a lot!" Replying to Ryuu's other question, she tilted her head to the side in a show of confused acceptance. "Like I said, I don't feel too much right now!"
Responding positively to the pat on the head from Ryuu, YukimiBotamon smiled from ear to ear, happy to see her demon-friend okay. Watching Kiki now, she bounced off of her partner, to watch her nod, somewhat embarrased, and rise with Ryuu's help. Still a little shaky, she was doing quite well for a girl who had just been blasted, and healed. Feeling the light, both partners turned to each other, confused by the new feeling of well-being. "Yukimi-!" Suddenly glowing with a bright, pink light, a high-pitched voice, not matching YukimiBotamon's cried out. "YukimiBotamon, digivolve to.... Nyaromon!" Watching her partner in awe, suddenly a yellow cat head with red eyes and a purple-striped tail was blinking up at her. "About time!"She laughed, leaping into Kiki's arms.

Ryuu simply smirked, and in one smooth motion, lifted both the girl the her digimon bridal style. After that he walked to Dustin and smirked. Then he said, "It's getting late into the evening, and I'm sure you guys need to get back. So where do I carry you to, Kiki?"
"Going home all ready... Aw.... Oh well, usual methods then, Ryuu?" Fei asked.
"Pretty much. So where are we off to now?" Ryuu asked.

Dustin took a moment to glare at Ryuu, before saying in a more indifferent tone. "We're going to my place, it's closest to here, and I live alone anyways, so there won't be any intrusions. Let's go, DemiVeemon."
Said Digimon hopped onto Dustin's shoulder as he motioned for Ryuu to follow him back to his place. Luckily, it wasn't too long of a walk.
What a strange day, today was.

Ryuu shrugged and followed him, Kiki and Nyaromon still in his arms.
"Ryuu, you do know that you're bare-chested in the snowing forest at night, right?" Fei asked bemusedly.
He looked at himself and saw that only his pants remained, and his trench coat was not damaged, but it was hanging on a tree. He had no way to wear the trench coat without letting go of Kiki, so he simply sighed.
"Use that to disguise yourself Fei, and follow us." He replied with a chuckle. Fei did as he asked and wore the trench coat, which was much too big for him, and it trailed on the ground.
Seeing that, Ryuu said, "Just follow us from the rooftops, I'll meet you at Dustin's apartment." Fei nodded and followed them out of the park and he leaped to the first roof he could see and started following them by roof hopping.

Holding onto Nyaromon, Kiki was not expecting to be picked up, at all. As her legs were swept from under her, a slight gasp sounded, from shock, but Nyaromon was much to tired to react. Raising an eyebrow to her partner, as the Digimon began to sleep, she blushed slightly, knowing that Ryuu was helping her at his own risk. "Thanks..." She muttered, still tired. Watching her friends depart, she waved to Fei quickly before he disappeared, before her own eyelids became quite heavy. Her cat digimon was already snoring in her arms, who in turn was in Ryuu's. Here's to hoping we don't draw attention..." She thought, covering Nyaromon with both the hat and her arms.
