In Body, Alone
by Estirose
c 2007

"I have to get stronger," Ryotaro said quietly, to the air in his bedroom. Nobody was with him; he'd blocked his Imagin out when he started musing about the whole idea, not wanting them to say anything about it. If he didn't block them for too long, they'd hopefully not notice; at the very most, he might get a minor lecture. If that. Nobody would blame him for blocking the four of them out every so often, just so that he was the only one in his head for a short time.

He was so rarely the only one in his head anymore. He was never the only one in his body, even when he had possession of it, which sometimes tended to be tough to do. Momotaros looked for good fights when he had Ryotaro's body, Urataros went for the girls, Kintaros out to fight wrongs, and Ryuutaros just to drive Ryotaro mad. He could, if he concentrated, feel the 'pressure' of the four Imagin in his body, but he was reluctant to do more, especially as he had to keep part of his mind active on blocking the Imagin out.

Ryotaro was getting better at that, at least. He might not have been able to fight off possession all the time, especially with Ryuutaros, but he could keep his thoughts to himself sometimes.

At some point in his life, he'd had his body and his mind to himself, but that was only a memory now. It was strange to think that it was only a few months ago that he'd been that sane, before Momotaros had possessed him and brought him down the trail he was currently on.

The trail that had led him to become Den-O. At least two of his Imagin had chosen him because he was Den-O - Kintaros to protect and Ryuutaros to try to destroy him. Urataros would have chosen him anyway, the apparent siren song signal of Ryotaro's Singularity Point status reaching out to him, and Momotaros had just ended up in him anyway. And at least all of them were willing to fight against their own kind, using his body to blow the Imagin away.

He would never be their equal. But he was tired of being the weak one of the group, the least powerful of the five forms of Den-O. Being a host to so many Imagin wore him out so much nowadays, he couldn't use the few meager skills he had. He needed to train, to fight, to become more than the original owner of the body the Imagin used as Den-O.

Ryotaro made his decision and let his Imagin back in. There would be time to think about it later, block them out later, become stronger later. As the clamor of his four Imagin reached his mental ears, he closed his eyes and relaxed.

Poor Ryou-chan. He totally gets the short end of the stick all the time. Ura and Momo seem to be pretty respectful of his space now, but... This was a really interesting look into Ryou's thoughts.

Thanks!

The way my muses are heading, it looks like I might have a full-blown fic dealing just with Ryo and how he deals with his imagin 'partners'.
