Noticing that he just stared at her naked back (which he admit, sort of made his heart beats much faster), he quickly turned to other direction, his back facing her. As for Dracomon, the dragon Digimon laid on the corner of the room and begin snoozing off. It's still early to wake him up... he's really tired after all the all-nighter. Ryouta smiled a bit at his loyal partner, thinking to hand him a small sheet of blanket he readied inside his bag but...
"Your body is so warm, Ryo-kun."
His body jolted and he cannot help but to look back at her. She's hugging her own body (and in extension, his parka). That angelic smile that she shows when she called his name... Damn it all... He really have a great urge to go to her side and hugged her to show her that his real body probably warmer than that... Wait what? Either way... did he start to feel a great attraction toward this girl? But she... she already got a boyfriend... Ryouta cling to that fact and repeats it over and over again in his mind like a mantra... But the stronger he tries to deny it, the more he feel like he just want to be with the girl...
"...Just what do you see in me, Mana?" he whispered as he stroked her hair gently. "...I'm just the densest person around who most likely would toy around with a girl's feeling because I didn't know what they thought about me..."
Luckily, soon explanation came from Liollmon, who told them about the DarkTyrannomon's attack. Like Ayaka said, it's a disturbing thing because someone seem to be betraying this place of all thing... He was about to said his thoughts when suddenly Mana's awake. Completely forgetting how the girl really liked his well built body (and plus, probably it's more defined now because he's, afterall, sitting right beside her and most likely if she got up and looked at his direction, she's in to look straight at his chest yet again), Ryouta focused on the part about the war hero comment.
"..Uh, that's probably my deodorant... Spicy Wood scent..."
Returning back to matter at hand, he gave his opinion on this matter.
"...Well, I'm in the same page as you, Ayaka... I really think there's someone from inside who leaked it out... But still, our priority right now is to gather everyone and probably train them... Who knows if they would attack once again?"

Mana yawned again as she listened to Ryouta's explanation, but definitely something didn't match. "Wait, your deodorant? Why I would smell as your deodorant when..." she finally opened her eyes and saw that she was wearing the boy's parka. Weird, she didn't remember donning it "Oh. I gotta say that it smells pretty nice, Ryo—" Before she could finish that sentence, she looked at the boy who she was talking to. It was unpolite to not to look at a person when you were talking to him, after all. And then, it happened again, but this time, she was really getting a closer look. Goddamn, his body was truly mesmerizing, and it didn't help that now she was actually viewing them while she smelled his scent. The sweat mixed with deodorant made her imagine him as he worked out; how those defined muscles glistened with a thin sheet of perspiration. And then she imagined that same boy smiling at him with his everpresent cheery and confident expression as he went to where she was and hugged her, ruffled and stroked her now-long hair on a playful manner. This time, she hadn't even noticed that she was both drooling and staring at him with a dreamily expression, and when she was about to imagine him kissing her...
"Ahem" Ayaka interjected before Mana could embarass herself even further. The girl turned away with her brightest blush so far, as she wiped the thin trickle of saliva that had descended from the corner of her mouth "Liollmon-san had explained the situation to us, and apparently this has been engineered by someone on the inside. Ryouta-san and me have agreed on going to this place's refuge. There, we will meet the remaining survivors. Hopefully we will be able to discover the culprit of this tragedy and maybe even prepare them, should the attackers come back".
"Rr-right!" she said without looking at anybody in the room, still red because of the embarassment. She couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe that she had even forgotten about Charles while she imagined Ryouta doing all those things. But it was pointless, right? Even if she confessed to him (again), he would say the same that light-Ryouta had already said. He only saw her as a little sister that would prevent him from straying to the dark path, and that hurt a lot; it was like as if a thousand of tiny and sharp needles used her heart as a pincushion. She thought that she had got over him, but distancing herself and burying those feelings wasn't but a temporary measure; now that they had resurfaced, she felt that they were stronger than even before. Dang.
"Well then, follow me" the Liollmon said as he exited the tent. While on the outside, the raining had stopped and now all the fires had been doused, yet the terrain was a little muddy. The small lion made his way through the place until he reached one of the westernmost tents, a rather small one that looked the be relatively unscathed. Even if Ryouta's parka was rather warm and the tent's outside wasn't really cold, she was shaking like a dying leaf, and it was pretty obvious that it was because of both the nervousness and sadness she felt. She didn't know how much she could contain herself before actually shouting to him that she still liked him, even when she knew that it would only yield another dissapointment. Yet, at least in this moment, this whole situation made her all the more frustrated. And it didn't help that she had to evade viewing Ryouta's body because she felt that she would just lost it and go crazy if she saw it again. Heck, she was going crazy only by smelling the manly scent of his parka. She felt really like a creeper, and could only walk with a downcast expression, almost zoning out for the time being.
Finally, the cat digimon entered the tent, and with some effort, the mostly healed lion pushed a rock block that served as a coffee table of sorts, revealing a stairway that spiraled into the darkness below. "Here it is, I don't know what we'll find down there, but with some luck the invaders hadn't discovered the passageway when they were in here".

Staring again... definitely staring right at me... Ryouta thought. Like it's said before, he's not offended, he's liking all the attention she's giving him. Now if she's her girlfriend, what would the situation be? No matter how you see it, probably he'll laugh and pulled her closer and let her sleep more... then, probably, he'll also sleep, all while hugging her... no, wait, that's totally not scene for this!! Ryouta shook off the thought, yet somehow, his hand reached for the girl's cheek, trying to tease her with a pinch... but isn't that too intimate?
"Ahem."
Yes, Ayaka, yes, I really understand. I'll pull back now, so don't give the girl that look... ouch, I'm feeling all bad now. If only I noticed this feeling faster... probably we won't have this kind of feeling entangling every single of our movement. This is starting to be sort of hindrance rather than good. Mana... I should've been happy instead that she's here beside me, like a little sister, right? Yet... I want more... I want more than that... Where's Karin when you need her at moments like this? I... I need someone to slap me.
And so, when they came out, the ground is slightly muddy from all the downpour... but he doesn't mind that much. Dracomon already re-energized from the nap seem to be feeling better. Meanwhile, Ryouta feeling like a totally huge jerk. First for not giving the girl a chance, and second, he gave her a chance just when she had a boyfriend. Yet... that moment when he saw her all shaking like that, he quickly marched to her side.
"...It's... cold, right?"
Wrong... you know her feeling all along. She still really likes you. You're playing ignorant NOW when everything already so clear? Aren't you a great scum, Ryouta? Are you going to torture the girl more, and then steal her from someone she loves most? Aren't you just a perfect big brother everyone wanted now? Goddammit, get a grip!
"Wanna hold hands?" he offered.
Clearly his body is not listening to him. He extended his hand at her. Yet for some reason, he's not smiling. He's looking as if he's tortured. He tried to force a smile, yet... he can't do it. He just want to scream all his feeling to her already... But right now... right now... can he just pretend to be a good big brother? Can he just simply stay by her side like a big brother?
"N-nevermind."
He said that because they're already inside the tent, yet... when he saw the spiraling staircase, he looked at her like saying 'if you want to hold hands, the offer's still there'. Going down there with torchlight might not be so... wise, especially if Digimon is included in the picture... well, terrified Digimon. ...Please don't tell him that there's ghost there...

Ryouta had offered her to hold hands, with him? Why was he doing that? Couldn't he just see that it only pained her more? Yet... at the same time, it gave her hope, but she shrugged that thought almost instantly as she remembered... 'little sister'. Big brothers were supposed to held their sister's hand when they were afraid, and maybe he took his trembling as if she were afraid or something and masked it by asking if it were cold just for her to not to feel so bad about it. Why he couldn't just see that she liked him? She would throw so many things away just for him to say that he returned those feelings. Liollmon began descending the dimly lit stairway, taking care in not slipping in it, as the steps were rather mossy and slippery. One wrong step and... it was a rather long fall. Mana, gulped as she gave the first step, and then decided that even if it hurt, she'd rather prefer his heart to rather than his whole body because of a surely lethal fall. So she took Ryouta's hand as they began descending.
"I guess it's really cold in h-here... hopefully you won'tt mind" and she was right, the temperature had dropped quite significantly in the place "W-won't you get a cold if you continue without u-usiing your shirt? I-I can give you your parka back if you n-need it. I-I won't mind, s-seriously". The descend was a rather slow and boring, but dangerous process. Mana seemed to slip quite a few times, but ultimately regained her footing before that could possibly turn into a tragedy. Yet, as they were finishing their path, Mana seemed to ask out of the blue.
"Ryouta-san... happens what h-happens, I'll always be your l-little sister, right?" she inquired as they descended. She didn't know what she would get with him answering, as she was pretty sure that he wouldn't say something like 'Maybe you can be something way more important one day'. Yet, he had offered to hold her hand... that should mean something... or not? Why this was so confusing! The corridor to where they descended was way more wide and illuminated, and it was quite firm, so Mana sighed with relief. Liollmon then walked forward until he hit a seemingly solid wall of rock, and then pushed a random one on the wall, making it slide, and granting them entrance to a rather spacious and lit room. It looked like the insides of one of the tents, but it was way bigger. Almost big enough to host one hundred digimons or so.
Inside, there were six digimons; a V-mon, a Guilmon, a Ryudamon, a Monmon, a Renamon and a FanBeemon "Liollmon-kun, you're okay!" the seemingly female Ryudamon said as she greeted the small lion and ran right away to hug him. If one looked closely, it could be seen that she was crying. "I-I was s-so worried about you". "Yeah. I'm fine, Ryudamon-chan" he said on a dismissively and smug manner, but hugged back. Could a digimon be this dense? "These guys helped me out. I'm alive thanks to them. But the camp... was ransacked by that group. I don't know what should we do until DinoHumon-sama arrives. But these guys look to be pretty powerful. They can evolve up to adult at the very least.
Ryudamon then addressed the cat's companions, deeply bowing to the group. "Thank you so much, strangers. You've saved my, u-uh, friend's life. We are the ones who used this refuge as means of refuge from the invasion when the alarm was sound. Most probably there are other digimons on the nearby woonds, but I don't know how safe they are. My name is Ryudamon, and DinoHumon-sama trusted me with this group's safety". Saying that, the small menagerie bowed to the foursome. Mana smiled at the young dragon. So, most likely she was the strongest of the group if DinoHumon had trusted in her, and also, she somewhat felt identified with her. It was tad obvious that she had feelings towards Liollmon, yet the other had rejected her in the past, or was just really dense... just as Ryouta. Mana felt as if it were their history all along, but with digimons.
"We appreciate your gratitude, but it is not necessary, Ryudamon-chan. It was our pleasure to help" Ayaka quickly said "My name is Ayaka and she is my partner, Mana" she said as both she and Mana bowed to the digimon present. So... one of these digimons was the indirect responsible of the ransacking... who could be?

As Mana timidly took his hand, he smiled slightly. It's an endearing position, with her taking his hand like this... But at the same time, he's feeling really really really bad. Isn't this could also considered that he's taking advantage of the situation? But for some reason, his grip on her hand strengthened slightly, like he's really afraid that she would gone from him the moment he let go of it. He... he likes Mana afterall. He cannot deny it any longer. But then... what would she'll do if he confessed? Would she break up with her boyfriend? Isn't that really... really really really cruel? And he's the one who pushed that guy aside... not Mana... him. He might gave himself too much credits, but it doesn't change the fact that he notices her feeling... and really desperate to return it.
"...No, it's fine, Dracomon is drying it up, anyway..." he pointed at the small dragon, who carefully breathing hot air at the wet clothes.
"It might took a bit while for it to dry up, though, Aniki!" Dracomon informed.
If he can be honest, he totally hoped that the clothes would not dry at all so Mana can just wear his parka. It's... really cute... Mana is not that girly, nor she's any damsel in distress which is more to his taste, as long as the damsel is not a drama queen, but... at the same time, this girl is imperfect, but moderately imperfect from his taste to make he thinks... this girl would not make his world perfect, but she'll still make his word goes round, even more than his 'perfect girlfriend', so to say. She slipped so many times, and often Ryouta almost squeezed her hand really hard because he don't want her to fell down so harshly to the bottom. That would devastate him more than anything.
But as they arrived at the very bottom, she asked the question.
I would do anything... anything to tell you that I really love you... I really really really meant it, and I... I don't see you as a little sister anymore! I just want to hug you right here and then---!! But... but you're not mine... you're not alone, Mana... I don't want to give you hope... I don't want to take happiness from another, but... but...
"...I... I don't know..." he sounds so desperate as he let go of her hand. His hands balled into fists as he stared right down to the floor. Veins coursing on his arms as he put all his strength to prevent himself from crying in frustration. "Look, Mana, I don't hate you... and I don't dislike you at all so don't get funny thoughts about how I'm starting to hate you! In fact... I--!"
But then, Liollmon just like that moved the stone and... lo and behold, reflection of that one scene. It made him even more tortured. He... he...
Out of impulse, the taller boy hugged the girl. He gave her a firm squeeze as he rested his head on her shoulder. Goddammit all. He doesn't care... it's enough... Enough with this, he just want to have moment of peace with his heart. He wanted to scream his feeling to her. He... he..
"...Your feeling is not unrequited, Mana..."
He said it.

EXPERIENCE ON THE FIELD [3/4]
The descent was pretty weird, if Mana was honest with herself. Ryota's grip was a little rough, but warm and secure... it made her feel safe, and even in the most dire slips, it was there to hold her from the impending doom. It was a warm sensation, that feeling of safety. Yet, at her question, he seemed to be nervous... maybe she didn't even see her a sister anymore and just decided to be with her because of pity? Ryouta would definitely do that due to his gentle personality. He said that she shouldn't believe that he hated/disliked/whatever her, and he was right. She didn't believe so, but what she believed was way worse, at least for her... she felt that he was with her only because she had pity on a little girl that had a crush on him. And him doubting just worsened things a lot. She was actually holding back tears at this whole situation, for she hated it with all her being. Why wouldn't it end?
They remained silent, at least until Ryudamon and Liollmon's scene happened. After that, he said it. Mana was frozen in her place as the dark-haired boy embraced her. Ryouta... actually liked her back? That just couldn't be. "Wait... what? B-but, Ryouta-san! You s-said that I was not your t-type, and that you prefered m-more feminine and meek girls! And w-what about the t-things that light-Ryouta said? He said that you two only s-saw me as your little sister! A-And if you actually like me, why did you s-say no the first time? I-I haven't changed at all! I'm the same Mana that you rejected that day! Y-you're not toying with me, right? I-I can take rejection just fine, you don't n-need to feel pity for me!".
Despite those harsh words, Mana was crying her heart out as she hugged back the taller boy. She didn't know what to think about that sentence; was he being serious, or just toying with her feelings? She felt a typhoon of emotions swirling in her heart, but definitely hope was the strongest one; she really hoped that Ryouta meant what he had said. She wanted this embrace to last forever, as she really felt at home in the boy's arms. In this moment, her head and heart were both focused in Ryouta. She didn't care about the dire situation they were in, or about Charles, or even the total strangers that were watching this exchange. Even if he was lying, at least she would treasure this memory in her heart forever.
Ryudamon looked dreamily at the scene, feeling identified that same instant. She smiled as he watched silently at the pair. Maybe, just maybe if things got along fine, she would consider doing the exact same thing the human boy had done. Life was too short to dance around silly and petty things when the important ones were at arm's reach, after all.

"I... I know I'm the worst person around, Mana... But I'm not toying with you! At first, I do saw you only as a little sister... But I never officially rejected you! What my light counterpart said.. probably because he's not really 100% me... I... I know I'm just being a jerk, Mana, but... I really really really... like you... I... I'm a really wishy washy guy whose feeling often changed... But Mana, somehow... somehow, after you confession, I keep thinking about it... I... I don't know why, but you just... you just gave a deep impression on me... I want to hug you, I want to kiss your hair so many times... I just want to walk with you... It's not pity, Mana... I really... look at you as a girl... Not a little sister, but someone who could be my... no... I'm the worst person, aren't I? You already got a boyfriend and here I am... I just noticed my feeling right now..."
Yet despite so, he hugged her closer instead of letting her go, like really afraid of losing her. "...I'm sorry, Mana... I'm just the worst... But I thought... if I don't say it, then when I could? It's fine... go reject me, like how that stupid me made you think I rejected you.. I deserved it for toying around with your happiness like this... But... But I just want you to know, that this feeling is true. It's not out of pity at all."
He stroke her head gently, but rather than simply a normal stroke, it's like a stroke of yearning. He really wanted her to be with him, more than simply 'I don't want you to ignore me'. It's more than just that.
"...Hey, Mana? You know... You're not my type indeed, but who said type is important? If someone is my type, then she actually have really bad personality, or she's my type and then what? It felt so bland... I prefer girls that is not exactly my type...."
He let her go and wiped her tears.
"...You honestly are tomboy... your hair's short, but you wear pink... and it's cute... Your hair's short, yeah, not my type, but you can grow it. Plus, you're unexpectedly quite... heh... Like I can ignore you drooling at my body, huh? Well, that's not my type either, but I don't mind. In fact, I enjoyed your stare... You're the same Mana that not-exactly-my-type, but you made me at home, girl... but like I said, I guess I'm getting too ahead of myself. It's OK, you can ignore me."

He was actually being... sincere? Mana couldn't believe it. He actually saw her as a girl and not as some little sister. When he said that he liked her even when she wasn't his type, she felt so special at being liked even with all her defects, because she wasn't perfect. In the bottom she was just a little girl, yet Ryouta, the one who had seen her in some of her worst hysterical fits, was still there, and he wanted to be more than friends with her even despite of that.
"You're a dork, Ryouta-san, and you know it. It's not my fault that your abs are hard as rocks and that one actually needs climbing gear to get on those pectorals! But..." she blushed at what she was about to say "If what you just said is true, I couldn't care less about you being a jerk, or dense, or even the supposed rejection on light-Ryouta's part. If you really want to do it, then go ahead... Ryo-kun. Be my boyfriend today; if you accept it, you'll act as if we were a couple and I'll do just the same until we get through all this mess. But two conditions. One, you'll not pretend to be someone you aren't; you'll be the autentic Ryouta and not some impersonation of someone else just to make a better impresion. And second, no kissing on the lips... I won't be infaithful to Charles-kun only because we both did some poor decisions. Are you okay with that? Otherwise I think it'll be better if we don't talk about this anymore and just continue with our lives as they are".
She matched every hug the boy did, as she couldn't feel better right now. She found enough to courage to even kiss him in the right cheek as the boy wiped her tears, smiling brightly all along the way. Even if he had said no, she felt that she deserved at least that for all the grief she had endured because of him. "Ahem" Ayaka interrupted again "Would you please stop for a little while? We have the uncertain threat that something will happen in here, so we should be getting ready for any surprise our perceived enemies could have in store. For example, we do not even know what these fine ladies and gentlemen are capable of".
Ryudamon quickly snapped out of his dreamy observation of it and stepped forward, addressing the foursome again. "Well, Renamon-san is the fastest of us, Guilmon-san the one with the most powerful firepower, V-mon-san has the largest pool of stamina, FanBeemon-san is the most agile, Monmon-san's shots are the most precise, I'm the better armored and Liollmon-kun has the best..." "I'm the one that excels in nothing" the lion said on sad tone "The dead weight of the group, if you want to call me that". "That's not true, Liollmon-kun" Ryudamon quickly interjected "You just haven't found your talent yet! Everyone's special in their way". "Well, I'm special at being a good-for-nothing that almost died up there" The female dragon looked sadly at the small lion, hoping that he would realize his usefulness soon enough. She just knew that he had to have some talent, and that it would take some effort to find it.

"W-wha? Dork? Hey, I'm being totally serious here!" he pouted, faking an offended tone. "...And what's up with my body? You like it that much, huh? You're going to make me blush, Mana... But geez, don't I have any redeeming features other than my body? It's almost like I'm just some musclehead..."
However, that pout broke into small, loving smile as she kissed his cheek. Go ahead, huh? So does that mean he's just a glorified best friend? He... he doesn't mind that the slightest, to his surprise. He has been a jerk, and a jerk he is because he forced her to rethink her position with her boyfriend. Yet, despite all that stream of emotions, all the jerk-like moves he shown her, she still want to accept him, even as her glorified best friend... something less mature than friend with benefit, but essentially quite like a boyfriend, minus the kissing and probably getting higher than that. Funny, he doesn't mind at all despite he said that... he wanted to have a full committed relationship. Even so... two of them are in this together. If this is sin, then... it's mostly his fault for misleading her.
However, Ayaka seem to urge them to be hurry with it, So Ryouta quickly returned back to his position. Dracomon smiled at him as he handed his shirt to him.
"That's great, right, Aniki?" Dracomon asked, definitely happy for Ryouta.
"Yeah, it's really great... but eh, first..."
He turned back his attention to the cadets. One of them might be the culprit, as they're the only one here... however, it brings quite a bad feeling to him that for whatever reason, one of them probably could relay the information to the Tyrannomon bunches.... As Ryuudamon explained their speciality, Ryouta simply nodded. He doesn't care much about that... if they come here, then most of the case that those DarkTyrannomon are in for 1 vs 1 instead of many against one thanks to the only possible entrance to this place...
"...Um... I have several questions if you don't mind... One: How good you guys fare against a champion? Two: I'd like you all to tell me what you're doing when the DarkTyrannomon attacked... three: is there is any passageway beside that one below the table? How strong is this place? Strong enough to survive a Blaze Blast or Drimogemon's drill?" Ryouta asked. However, he still have to reply to Mana, so...
"Just tell those to my partner... Mana, come with me for a bit..."
He pulled the girl to more secluded place as he finally gave her the reply...
"...It's OK, I accept. I like you... way too much to let you go. However... I also have some conditions in this relationship..."
He raised his index finger first.
"One, if you got too serious with your boyfriend, then I'll back off... getting serious here means engaged or something close to that... then, I'll definitely backs off and let's return to our everyday life."
He raised his middle finger next, while still holding his index.
"Two, under no condition you may act reserved with me, Mana... So that means..."
He hold her wrist gently and put it on his abs
"Hard as rocks, huh? Well know you know the sensation... So, two... under no condition you should act reserved to me. If I'm really your boyfriend, then you should know that everything that is me is yours... while not really fully, but still.. what I mean is, well, you understand, right? If you want to touch my ripped body, then go on. Little skinship isn't that bad."
He let go of her wrist and hold out his ring finger next.
"Three, no unfamiliar honorifics... those made me itchy actually. If my girlfriend called me with something with 'Ryouta-san', then I'll be... well, I'll be really annoyed and I'll definitely force her to call me something else even if it takes all day," he muttered.
All in all, he grinned cheerfully like always, but this time, he really looks like he's free of all worries and simply kissed the top of her head.
"...Well, then, Mana... Let's go back to the other... unless you want to touch my body more?" he teased. OOC: Just tell if Ryouta can't do that to her m(_ _)m

Mana looked at Ryouta with an apologetic expression when he seemed offended at her calling him dork, but before she could think of a proper apology, Ayaka had interrumpted them, and Ryouta had made some questions to the group of rookies before taking his shirt from Dracomon and pulling her to a more private where he had... accepted? She immediately smiled at him with extreme happiness; But apparently he had some conditions on his own. Basically, they were that she couldn't get serious enough with Charles; she was fine with that, but maybe he had misunderstood the implicancies of what she had said earlier? she would have to say what she meant later. The second one made her blush immensely as he picked her hand and placed it on his abs. Well, she had to admit that they were as hard as they looked, but Ryouta's feelings towards her were way more alluring than even the most defined muscles in her mind. And the third one was basically throwing formalities through the window, something she didn't care to do at all, but that would maybe take so time. After all, starting to call someone by a new name wasn't that easy. But she would try her best anyway.
After he had given his conditions and grinned at her, Mana seized the moment while he was kissing her head, and just hugged him tightly, as if never wanting to let go. So that was what it felt to be together with your first crush? He wasn't her picture of a prince charming, yet the girl felt that not even her dream man was a match for Ryouta. After all, the boy had actually replaced him in her dreams. "I-I didn't mean the d-dork part as an i-insult, Ryout—Ryo-kun..." she said between sobs "I-I mean, I-I liked you even when you didn't have that bodybuilder body of y-yours, and that's because e-even k-knowing that I'm c-crybaby, you s-see me as m-more than j-just a little s-sister that you have to t-take care o-of. I-I'm so emotional a-and u-unstable, and you have seen t-that over and over a-again, e-even you have seen some of the worst of it b-back t-that day in the p-park and w-when I-I found you a-after fight-ting a-against t-t-those bullies a-and it just makes me s-so happy to know that you s-still think t-that I'm w-worth i-i-it" she couldn't talk any longer, so he now she just sobbed silently on the boy's naked torso. She hadn't ever felt so happy in her life. She wanted to say so much things, to pour all the things she felt and to express the unmesurable quantities of love, she felt towards him. Because it had to be love, right? She couldn't describe what she felt with any other word.
"S-see? I'm crying like a little girl even now" she said after calming down a little "H-hopefully you w-won't mind me c-calling you Ryo-kun. Maybe you'll believe I'm c-crazy or a c-creeper, but these last w-weeks, everytime I had a dream about y-you, I a-always called you that. A-anyway, when I said 'today' b-back there, I me-eant as 'just for today', b-but if t-this c-continues to f-feel t-this g-good, I-I'll have t-to..." her face looked sad a second before she imagined herself leaving Charles only to run back to Ryouta's strong arms, not caring a bit about how her first boyfriend felt about it. She felt like a piece of the lowliest trash for that, but she just didn't want for this happiness to end, and that made her wonder what she could be capable of do just for this. What extremes would she reach, only to be able to be with Ryouta? That seemed to sober her quite significantly, but she didn't want to let go just now. Heck, if it were for her, she woldn't ever let go. "But there are also so much other things about you, Ryo-kun. Even if you're a dork, you're so gentle and friendly with everybody; but that also means that if we ever become a proper couple, I'll kill every woman that tries to kiss you!" for those seconds, Mana really gave an pretty good impresion of a yandere, but she made a good natured laugh shortly afterwards "I'm joking. I'm not really the jealous type, and I wouldn't get in yours and Koharu-san's brother-sister relationship. After all, she was there way before me".
After doing that, and at Ryouta's invitation of going back or just to feel his body just a little more, she could only say. "Even if that offer is..." she stared for some seconds at the boy's chest, but stopped herself just before she started to drool again "Enticing, the faster we end this, the faster we'll have the rest of the day for ourselves, don't you think?" Taking his hand, the girl began walking back to where the digimons were. And speaking about the digimons... "Yes, there are at least three more passageways that lead to this room, but I only know the location of the one from where you had entered. The others' location were trusted to the ones in charge of the other three groups of trainees" Ryudamon explained to Dracomon "And... yes, it's pretty safe, or so I was told. I haven't been here before, but DinoHumon said that this place withstood some pretty devastating attacks, like a MetalGreymon's missiles or prolonged smashing from a Zudomon's hammer. I'm not really sure of those claims were just boasting or are actually true, though". But before she couldn't keep talking, the Monmon stepped forward, with a frown clear on his monkey face. "Why're ya thinken' abaut dat?" he inquired with irritation "Dis place's da zafest one in da camp, mon! Nobady wuld evur discaver et anles ya're..." he made that pause purposefully, but after having said that, all the other rookies except for Ryudamon looked at both Dracomon and Ayaka with suspicion. Were they actually thinking that they were the responsibles of the attack? Before any more words could be uttered, Ryouta and Mana arrived to the scene.

And here she goes, crying again, crying like a crybaby she is. If they somehow meet much faster in this world... probably the image is she's going to be someone who he can never leave behind? Probably with her tailing him every single time, and he leads her... well, the image is not bad, but that doesn't feel like it suited her. When she hugged him and cried her heart out, he simply repeats 'I know' soothingly, stroking her head ever-so-gently. He got mixed feeling about her outbursts and sometimes easy-to-flip attitude, but... well, she's still a teen... a growing teen. It's not bad, too, this scene. She's far from his ideal girl, but... no, more like this girl worth more than those fantasies. A girl in his girlfriend-trial period.
"...I know, Mana, I know... I'm just joking around, geez... But it's fine, you can keep pouring it all out... I can feel it. It's funny how when you're like this, I felt that... I finally understand you fully. Sorry, Mana... I'm really sorry... I... I'm the worst to sway around your feeling like this."
The moment of silence passed and finally, she said what she meant. He understood that... basically, she's saying she's giving him a chance to steal her from her boyfriend? To see whether he fits that said image? He already felt like a shit, hence without faking it... He'll try to make her happy... and in extension, himself. He might won't get satisfied in just one day, but... it worth it... even if she doesn't think he'll be worth it to dump her boyfriend for him, then... He'll at least treasure it as a really sweet memory.
"...Yeah, I understand. It's OK, Mana... and yep, Ryo-kun sounds really great... especially when you hugged yourself with my parka, heh!"
Yet he flinched and nearly backs off when she mimicked a yandere girl. Ryouta's never fan of yanderes, and there's a really bad experience with one of them... it's creepy as heck. Still, when she told him she's joking, he laughed, too.
"...Ahh, don't worry about Koharu. We don't go more beyond hugging, not even kiss on the cheek, so it's all fine and all. I don't go flirting with other girls, but if you dislike something from me, I want you to tell me head on, got it? It's just like how I'll do to you. Of course, you don't have to FULLY change for me, because that's just silly... no spice in life like that..."
He caught her looking at his chest this time and laughed, Mana sure loves his muscles, and he love her frankness when she drooled at him. He gave her a quick fanservice-ish flex and a kiss on her forehead. Ryouta quickly donned back his shirt. "You'll get that later, yeah. Let's get this over with, Mana."
And so, they came back right when the Monmon said something rather... offensive.
"Hold it right there, Mister," Ryouta's gave him an unamused stare. "Whatever that sentence supposed to end with, I don't like your tone one bit. It's like you're saying we're some sort of spy or worse, someone who attacked, ransacked and pillaged your camp. I can't blame you for that, but this is just ridiculous. We're here to help, not to listen to your baseless assumption. Give us better reason to assume we're the attacker than simply 'those guys asking for alternate routes or this place's safety measure, they're really suspicious' kind of stuff. If it's needed, go seal all those routes back."

Mana's face flared in red when Ryouta implied that she had actually called him Ryo-kun in her sleep, and that even that she had pretended to hug him by hugging herself with his parka on while she dreamt. Well, she had described quite well one of the parts of the dream she had while Liollmon had decided that it was her bedtime, but still it felt... embarassing. Well, not that much now, at least. The blush dissappeared instantly and was replaced by an amused giggle when she felt him flinching at her yandere act. Ryouta was definitely cute when he felt awkward.
"It's fine, Ryo-kun. I was actually growing my hair on my own decision, so that doesn't even count as you wanting me to change. I just want to remain sincere with me, alright? Besides that, if could change something about you, it'd totally be about reducing 'density', but I guess that that one can't be helped, so if I ever come up with something else, I'll let you know! Oh right, and if we ever hang out with other people, please, just please cover your chest, because..." now the blush was starting to return yet again "I'd feel so embarassed if I started to drool in public. Seriously. If you ever use that to tease me around anybody, I'd have to show those people my knife collection". She giggled yet again at her display and even stared at him a little when he flexed his muscles. OhmyGod, why he was to be so goddamningly ripped! But she went to the matters at hand quite fast. There was work to be done.
Back with the digimons, it seemed that the one who resembled a monkey had decided that maybe they were the culprits of the attack, and now everyone (even Liollmon), with the exeption of Ryudamon was staring at them with expressions full of distrust. And of course, that Ryouta tried to argue with the monkey couldn't have a good result. "Yo human, whoddaya tink yo're? Yo're a neubeh! I culd kik yer arse fastah tan ya cald blenk!" Mana, of course, was about to defend Ryouta when Ayaka intervened on a timely manner. "Fine ladies and gentlemen, it is not necessary to fight for these petty causes. We should be actually concentrating on what we should do if this place is discovered someway. Finding the intellectual culprit behind this ransacking is important, but it will be of no avail if that causes distrust among us".
"Ayaka-dono is right, guys" Ryudamon said "We should prepare some kind of defense and hold this place from whomever tries to seize the attack's aftermath to do further damage in here. After all, even if someone among us did inform those DarkTyrannomons, it won't be able to reveal our localization unless he or she exits this place. So we only have to watch out for anybody that tried to sneak out and it'll be alright. "I... am with Ryudamon-chan" Liollmon finally said "But that the humans were in just there to tend to me after the attack seems quite conspicuous, if I'm being honest" "Well, we need all the help we can get, so this is rather pointless" the FanBeemon added "I don't wanna be deleted, so I think we should readily accept the help of anybody who wants to... well, help" "I concur" the Renamon simply concluded. At her fellow trainee's agreement, Monmon looked away with a frown on his face, but stopped talking for the time being. "Okay, it's decided then!" Ryudamon cheered, clapping his 'hands', but then blushing slightly "I-I'm not really experienced at defending positions, only about general fighting, so... any ideas about what we can do about this places? At plain sight, it seems easily... attackable".
And she was right, the entries were rather wide, the terrain was mainly plain, and there were no favourable positions to defend this place from. It almost looked like a plain made of stone. Well, that was without taking into account the innumerable amount of rooms this place had, but in there only three people could enter, and on a rather discomforting manner. "What do you think of this, Ryo-kun? Maybe we can do something with the rooms, but that way we'd have to divide ourselves". Mana, of course, wasn't only preoccupied about the fact that they'd have to thin their numbers to fight with some kind of adventage, but realized that if only three people could enter those at once, the possibility of Dracomon, Ryouta, Ayaka and her entering was nixed and... she really didn't want to be separated from him this early. Heck, she hadn't even stopped holding his hand, and wouldn't do that unless he actually complained about that.

Apparently, Mana does like chest a lot, huh? He stared down at his... It's indeed quite sticking out despite he already covered it with his a-shirt. Somehow, absentmindedly, he poke it. Yeah, it's definitely have quite the volume. Still to make her drool like that... why chest though? He thought girls are more to abs individuals, not pecs individuals... chest felt more to what boys prefers on girls... Still, if his 'girlfriend' likes it, then why not?
"Alright, alright, although it'll be amusing to show it to you at home, though~" he teased, grinning mischievously as he playfully stroke her hair. "Maybe you should see me working out sometime, Mana. It's noticeably bigger after training!"
Now, fully back to the conflict, Ryouta really hates that monkey, and felt like he want to kick his arse. What the heck? And even Liollmon starting to doubt them at it, too!? He clenched his palms in frustration, but tried to calm himself down and silently thanks Ayaka as she took over. Ryouta finally returned back to his usual calm self as he crossed his arms and thinks the situation more...
He finally gave his opinion when Mana asked, slightly above whisper.
"...Liollmon said that we came after the attack That sounds... way too odd... When we came, there's bunch of Kokuwamon trying to stole stuffs, and there's no leftover DarkTyrannomon... It's like it's ransacked quite a while before we arrived. There's no way something as big as DarkTyrannomon of all thing could goes unnoticed... But putting that aside, Ryudamon has good point... Listen, Mana... I don't want to be separated from you, too, but... if it's like this then... it'll be a hard position. Also... you and Ayaka are the key player here... You two have the healing move we needed. As for me, I can tank with Coredramon. Using Nagamon in this kind of situation is not possible as the dragon... well, need open space. So... let's just say... we need two ambusher on the room and ready to attack if the enemy appeared in this main room... They must be hidden from view. Assuming that our enemies came from the very same entrance with us, then... most likely I'll have to stay here with Dracomon... You and Ayaka can stay on wherever you guys could monitor all these rookies as one of them might be the culprit... Tell me if you have other idea... You, too, Ayaka."

Mana looked at Ryouta... what could be done to improve their chances? "We can't really close this space, but maybe we can prepare it to our adventage. Probably we're going to be outnumbered, so it'd be better if we prepared the terrain just a little. Maybe..." she pressed her index finger on her chin on a pensive way "I think I have an idea! Those baddies won't know what coming to them!" With a quick gesture of her D-3 and a "Digimental UP!" Ayaka evolved into Nephilamon. She seemed puzzled for a second, but as Mana gestured at the room's entrance, she smirked with her spidery face.
"I think we're on the same page, Ayaka?" she asked, and the spider could only nod before she started to spin her silk on the passageway's only visible entrance's framework, as if to create the illusion that it was narrower than from what it actually were. "This serves a double purpose, Ryo-kun" she whispered into his ear, on a low enough tone for him to hears "If all these guys prove to be on the trustworthy, then maybe we can win an adventage from that faux narrowing effect, but even if the webbing was unveiled as passable terrain, the invading baddies will be in for a nasty surprise. You'll know what I'm talking about if Coredramon uses an energy attack against any webbed guy. But now that we've taken care of that, what should we do with the rookies? Honestly, I have no clue about who can be the culprit. Heck V-mon and Guilmon hadn't uttered a single word as of yet. Maybe they are related to this? DarkTyrannomons must be dinosaurs from their names alone, and Guilmon looks like pretty much like on of them".
"Ryudamon-chan" the spider said nearing her, after she had finished her task "I am quite unexperienssed at commanding troopss, and the oncoming battle will depend on ssomeone with a sstrategic mind. You may not be the sstrongest one, but undoubtedly you are the mosst experienced at thiss. If you are the responssable of thiss, then I guessss that you sshould at least know how to run training exercissess, right? Just imagine thiss ass if it were a training battle of ssortss, for I know that you can pull thiss off. My abilitiess are yourss to command". Having said that, the spider bowed deeply at the small dragon, and the other digimon soon followed suit (Monmon looked reluctant, but finally did it when V-mon smacked the back of his head). Ryudamon blushed intensely at the respect that a more powerful digimon was giving her, but saluted the group shortly after. "Okay, Ayaka-san! I'll do my best! I just hope that it'll be enough to get us out of here..."
After the rest of the planning was done by Ryouta's part, a hour or so later and approximately fifteen minutes after Ayaka finished to spin her webs around the entrance, a faint rumbling could be heard from the direction the group had entered. It wasn't loud, but it was noticeable enough to make out that a really big guy or a lot of smaller ones were on their way here. A shiver ran through Mana's spine as she held Ryouta's hand with all her strength (which was a good amount, but maybe not enough to hurt him), as if not wanting to let go before finally doing so. This way was more safe, for both him and her, but it didn't make it hurt any less though. She didn't know why, but she wanted to be forever with him. Was this just infatuation because he was his first crush, or this was how genuine love really felt? She didn't really care if she was honest with herself, as long as that sensation just didn't stop surging in her body as if it were a multitude of tiny electrical jolts. Even when danger was coming, she felt truly alive in this very moment moment.y alive in this very moment moment.

Having a supportive, much more versatile Digimon is great afterall. Ryouta grinned and ruffled Mana's hair, praising her for such quick witted thoughts. He haven't really seen all of Ayaka's skills in this form so he's not sure... But now, it's clear that it's a great thinking. This way, they could increase the chance of getting the culprit. He start racking his brains... Monmon, Guilmon, Veemon... Monmon irritates him, but he doesn't really indicate any sort of rebelling attitude to his friends, but that arrogance probably would get them in trouble sooner or later... Guilmon does indeed looks like something that can evolves into a DarkTyrannomon... but that should be something that they think for later. Ayaka already set some trap, and it's good enough...
At this kind of moment, he wished he could use Slayerdramon, like his light counterpart... Fragarach <<The Answerer>> could coax them to answer he's looking for. Now, second problem... their enemy is coming. Ryouta, too, have no experience in this sort of field so...
"Ryudamon, I'll say this... I have no prior leading experiences, so... you're the one who fits to be the leader, like the other. I and my partner, we'll follow your order, just like Ayaka. However, should it goes to a dangerous situation where immediate action is needed, then I ask your permission beforehand to act by my own."
And so, after a while waiting, and after evolving Dracomon back to Coredramon, Ryouta awaits for the attack. As if the sound isn't obvious enough, Coredramon tensed. The battle is about to begin and... and it'll not be nice at all. When Mana gripped Ryouta's hand with all of her strength, the boy griped back, albeit with lesser strength because Kami know just how strong his gripping strength really is. He smiled and nuzzled her cheek, like telling her it's fine. When she let go of the hold, he hugged her waist with one arm and gave her a firm squeeze to his body.
"...I'll be right here beside you, so don't worry. I won't be reckless. You, too, don't go away from my sight, Mana."
