What is Love? <3

[marik]

Marik hadn't exactly expected it, and he ended up fumbling for a second when she started kissing him. He however, got into it fairly quickly. He'd never imagined something so sweet, so right. In the moments they kissed, he seemed to lose track of time, lose track of everything around him. As if time had stood still just for them in that moment. Was this really love? Perhaps he'd been denying his feelings earlier. Thinking she wasn't her type, seemed like a downright lie to him. How could he have thought something like that?

While Marik and Shana were lip-locked, Kudamon had poked his nose out of his tamer's collar. "I smell a digimon approaching." He said in an attempt to alert his tamer. Marik however, didn't seem to hear him. "Marik?" Kudamon sighed, and simply watched as another boy and his Pabumon approached him, and attempted to get Shana's attention.

[Shana Hitoehi]

Shana was enjoying herself, continuing to kiss Marik passionately. Time had felt like it had stopped, yet they had already been going on for almost 25 seconds without even realizing it. She wasn't ready to stop yet, but before the kiss had ended, she heard the familiar voice of a classmate coming from behind her. She almost jumped up in shock, pulling herself away from Marik and looking behind him as Rylee approached.

What bad luck... her first kiss and a classmate was there to see it. This was going to decimate her reputation. She wasn't a lover, she was a fighter, and she had worked for that reputation too hard to let it be crushed now in one foul swoop. She didn't know what to say. One thing was for certain, she didn't want the rest of the class to find out about her boyfriend. They would make fun of her, and she would have to beat all of them up again. That wasn't a problem, but her mom would be mad if she got suspended again. After all, she didn't want her mom to take away her Playstation.

"Rylee-chan, can't you see I'm busy?"

[Rylee Casanova]

By the time she had responded him, Rylee’s face had gotten bright red. He wasn’t sure what exactly she thought of him, but he wasn’t going to let this slide. Whilst holding Pabumon, Rylee walked towards Shana, getting a bit closer to her. He wasn’t sure what were the motives of the older guy, but he didn’t think that they were good, and he was hoping he could get Shana away.

“Uh, Shana-kun, what exactly have you been up to…Don’t you think your taking things too far?”

Even though Rylee hadn’t been exactly sure what’s been going on between them, he didn’t really care. He knew he should keep an eye on Shana since she had always been a teeny bit reckless. He gave Marik a quick menacing look. His jealousy had begun to increase at an alarming rate. He didn’t know who this guy was, but he wasn’t going to let him touch Shana, so he gave Pabumon a fierce look.

Marik was suddenly brought back to earth as Shana suddenly pulled away. He blinked in confusion, unsure of what was going on, until he finally heard Kudamon trying to get his attention. "Marik. Pay attention." the ferret like digimon scolded, pushing himself further out of Marik's coat so his arms were now exposed, as he tried to get a good look at the new comer. He too was a tamer. His digimon however, was quite diminutive. A fresh form digimon, Pabumon. He would pose very little threat to him, though he still kept his guard up. With a tamer, even a low level digimon could be troublesome.

Marik glanced back at the new comer that Shana was getting upset with, clearly not wanting the boy to see them together. The boy on the other hand, seemed to be getting quite defensive from the get go. What's up with him? He wondered, tilting his head slightly, returning the glare with a calm, unfazed look, unthreatened by the boy's defensive demeanor. What he did think was that this boy was being a bit too jumpy. "Is this a friend of yours, Shana-chan?" He inquired, holding a hand out for the boy to shake. "I'm Marik, pleasure to meet you."

[Shana Hitoehi]

"Yeah... I know him anyway...Doesn't mean I like him..." Shana said stubbornly. She and Rylee had actually been really good friends in the past. When they were kids they would play together often, but after he had moved away, she had lost contact with him. Recently, she had seen him back in school, although the two of them hadn't talked very much. She didn't particularly dislike him, but she wished he hadn't seen her romantic moment.

She noticed his digimon in his arms which she easily recognized as a Pabumon. Apparently, he had a Digimon too. Yet another Digidestined was present. That made all three of them Digidestineds, although, without a doubt, Shana was the strongest of them.

"If you tell anyone at school that I have boyfriend, I'm going to kick your butt!" she threatened, completely ignoring his question.

[Rylee Casanova]

Looking at Marik, Rylee had let his hand remain in the air, without shaking. He wouldn’t touch any person whom he though wrong of, and he quickly ignored Marik and made his eyes focus on Shana. She was young, what was she planning on doing with an older guy. He couldn’t help but feel a bit tense as he quickly lifted his finger at Marik and let out a silent sigh.

“First of all, Shana-kun, I don’t take orders from anybody…Second of all, why would you hang out with this…this…child molester!”

Even though Marik didn’t look more than a year or two older than both of them, he didn’t really care. Rylee had completely been blinded by jealousy and in his eyes, Marik looked 5 to 10 years older than both of them. He placed Pabumon on the floor, as his face blew up with rage. Pabumon wasn’t sure what exactly was going on, so he prepared to go on the offensive and recreate the situation. “Calm down, everyone! Sticky Bubbles!”

Bubbles had quickly began to float around the area. They would do no damage, but they would easily stuck on to anything they made contact with and a couple of the bubbles got stuck on to Rylee.

[marik]

Marik let his hand fall as the boy started to get in a huff. He chuckled at the boy's remark. Child molester? If he was going to throw accusations at him, he might as well try to use it in context. "A child molester is an adult, or a much older teen who inappropriately touches young children." Marik informed the incredibly exasperated male. As a 12 year old, I am no adult, and I am only a year older than her. I fall under neither category." Proving one wrong was one of the ways to deal with a verbally aggressive opponent, and he was not hesitant to do so to defend himself.

He would have continued on, telling him to mind his own business. However, a distraction in the form of his pabumon's sticky bubbles. By reflex, Marik jumped in front of Shana, protecting her from the onslaught of bubbles, while Kudamon reared up. "Holy shot!" Kudamon's purple markings lit up brightly, and a blast of energy was fired from his mouth, through most of the bubbles heading towards Marik and Shana before fading out, not hitting much else in particular. The remaining few bubbles landed on Marik, which promptly bursted in a gush of ooze.

"Ick. Control your digimon at the very least." Marik grunted. He was done with this meeting. If all this boy was going to do was throw accusations at him that he couldn't even back up, and having Pabumon attack them both, he wasn't going to be hanging around. "Come on Shana, you don't need to deal with this. Let's just go home. I need to wash this gunk off me anyways." He insisted, taking a few steps towards the gate before stopping to make sure she was following.

[Shana Hitoehi]

Shana was about to rush over to beat up Rylee after that display of disrespect, but was hampered from getting over there by her crutches, and as such was forced to endure the rest of his dialogue. Rylee then went further though as to call her boyfriend a child molester. At that point, she was boiling, but she forced herself not to act on her anger.

"Marik!" She screamed as he jumped in front of her to protect her from the bubbles. She had never wanted him to do something like that to protect her, but after seeing how sticky they were after they bust on him, she was a bit glad that he had done it, not that she would ever admit it. She about-faced on her crutches to walk with Marik after he began walking.

"Don't ever protect me like that again..."

[Rylee Casanova]

Listening to both of their responses, Rylee had gone bright red with anger. He wasn’t sure why, but he still couldn’t trust that older kid. He held closely to Pabumon and gave him a little smack on the head. “No attacking without permission!” Pabumon’s eyes had gottend watery, but Rylee quickly looked back up at Marik and shook his head about three times, and pointed at him once more.

“I don’t care skyscraper! You guys are gonna get in a load of trouble.”

Rylee quickly gave Shana a pleading look. He wasn’t sure what was going through he head but he had hoped that she would come to her senses soon enough, but he decided that it would be best for him to keep an eye on her, and not let them do anything out of hand.

“Shana-kun…”

[marik]

Marik blinked, flinching as Shana told him off for protecting her. He walked away from the boy with the Pabumon, ignoring what he said. The boy had gone from accusing him of being something he can't possibly be, to just calling him things he didn't even understand, which was even worse. Skyscraper? Tall building, beyond awesome, to take the sky... Whatever meaning he could pull from the word, certainly was no where near insulting as the kid seemed to be trying to make it out as. But he couldn't care less about him. Shana's reaction, was more important.

Once they had gotten out of earshot of the boy, Marik finally responded."Sorry." He said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "I just didn't think you'd want to end up, as I am now." He finished, pulling his hand away, only to find that he had touched a bit of the slime in his hair. He carefully pulled his hand away, wincing a couple hairs were pulled out in the process. This was an annoying mess. He was going to have one hell of a time cleaning this up.
