Rika was on her way to school.
She still couldn't understand the weird transformation that she underwent. Luckily, she had been able to turn back into her normal form, but somehow she could guess that the transformation into Kitsumon had become a natural ability.
Right after school, she would contact the others to tell them about her encounter with Minotarumon and the weird stranger who had fought alongside her.
"Keep your eyes and ears open, Renamon," she whispered. "We don't know if that Ceratomon can be trusted... and whether he will ambush us or not."
Renamon stayed out of sight and didn't respond, but Rika knew her partner understood her.
She was so much in thought that she didn't notice the girl she almost bumped into.
"Oh, excuse me..." she said and wanted to go on.
"Hey, Rika-chan! Wait! It's me!"
Rika turned around and looked at the black-haired girl that smiled back at her. "Um... do I know you?"
The girl giggled. "Silly! As if you wouldn't recognize your best friend. So, had a good night's sleep?"
Rika still didn't recognize the girl, although something about her seemed familiar. "Uh... actually, not too good of a sleep..."
"Oh..." the girl seemed to understand. "Is it because..." She came closer and whispered the final part of her sentence into Rika's ear. "You fought any Digimon?"
Rika frowned. How much did that girl know about her, anyway? Well, it was true that after the D-Reaper incident, many people knew about her involvement with Digimon, but somehow she assumed this girl knew more than the majority of the city's inhabitants.
"Listen, um... I have a test to attend. Can we speak later?"
The girl giggled. "Oh, you're really out of it today, Rika! I have the same test, remember? Or did you think lil ol' Harmony would skip class today?"
This girl was in her class? Rika wondered. Well, at least she now knew she was called Harmony.
"Right... okay, then I suppose we should hurry up."
"Yup," Harmony nodded. "Let's go!"
As the strange girl ran next to her, Rika somehow got a weird feeling of... uninvolvement. As if something was going on she should know about, but didn't know.
She would have to ask her other classmates about Harmony at an appropriate time.
When they reached the classroom, Harmony sighed. "Boy, am I glad that I made it to class on time today..." Again, she lowered her voice to a whisper. "You know, I had to stay up late to make sure Suzie was getting to bed, because Mom and Dad weren't home. Imagine, I've told her to leave Terriermon alone, and she agreed... just to keep on playing 'baby' with poor Lopmon..."
Rika froze. Suzie? Terriermon? Lopmon?
"Are you... Henry's sister?"
Harmony giggled. "Oh, Rika, what is it with you today? You know the only brother I have is Rinchei. Really, you should go to bed early more often. Now, I hope you're awake enough for that test."
And while they were sitting down at their desks (Harmony right next to her 'best friend'), Rika honestly wondered if she was suffering from a serious case of amnesia.
