Untitled (for now)

Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it, I don't own Digimon.

A/n: Here's a little something I came up with a while ago (don't worry I'll still be updating 'Shattered Ice' but I've caught writer's block and so am just trying to regain my inspiration back). I just had to write this down, and I'll update as soon as I can, final exams are coming up and I have year- end projects I need to be working on. (Jenruki later on)

She opened the door quietly, nobody but her lived there, but it was always nice to keep the memory and now that they were gone at least be slightly considerate. With a mind pact to capacity of deadlines, assignments, and other college student related items, she hardly noticed the heavy- depressioned emotion now pushed to the back corner of her mind. Closing the door with a soft 'click', she dragged herself over to the cleared table, and shoved her heavy baggage onto the newly furnished, wooden table. Sorting through a thick stack of papers she uncovered her answering machine, and played over the small tape inside. She groaned as she listened for the second time to that message she'd received that morning, it was an eviction notice. Her landlord was not too pleased as far as paying her monthly rent went, she was a week late and the interest was piling up faster than she could pay it off. Eventually the landlord would finally be fed up with her truency, and she'd be out on the streets again. The apartment was lovely but difficult to keep, and quite expensive. Despite having tried to get the cheapest apartment room, she would always be over her budget, constantly paying for it.

Located on the countertop, was a newspaper opened to the classifieds section and many job openings circled. Looking for a job here was definitely not easy, and she was already up to her knees in bills. On top of that, she had to worry about how she was going to make the money for her college tuition, her mother had saved for her, last. At that thought her breath caught in her throat, and she blinked back the tears that were making their way to her pale, lilac-coloured eyes. She stood for a moment, memories flooding through her mind, and sighed as she wipped away her salty tears. It was all her fault, they wouldn't have suffered and they'd still be alive happy, if it wasn't for her.

She sat down solemnly, on the thick cushoned, navy sofa, and buried her face in her cold, pale hands. 'This is pathetic! I can't believe I'm crying, I mean me, the former Digimon Queen-' she paused at the thought, it was no use, they were all gone now and she had to go on. Cursing softly, they left her there, why couldn't she have been the one to-! Pausing, she shook her head again, 'Curse these memories for haunting me, and regret- don't even get me started!' She got back to her feet, there were things to do, and payments to be made, no time for emotion and mourning. Pacing noislessly over to where her baggage had landed, she pulled open her books, sat down in her office and began typing away her assignments due for the next day. 'Life goes on,' she mumbled silently to herself, and continued her work, deciding to make her job search calls afterwards.

A few hours later, she found herself rubbing her tired eyes, she'd gotten very little sleep over the past few months, ever since the accident nightmares would haunt her sleep, and the guilt was even worse because that was not something she could wake up and forget about. She lifted her tired form from the black desk chair, and stocked over to the kitchen in search of something to snack on, it'd been hours since she'd last eaten, but then again money was tight and there really wasn't much to eat. Taking college courses and working at two jobs alternating every day of the week wasn't exactly easy, it was in fact very stressful and neither of them paid much, it was barely enough to put food on the table.

One thing she was eternally grateful for though was the savings' account Rumiko, her mother, had saved for her college education, that was one thing that had been an important concern of hers. The apartment had been the left overs of the savings account, considering Ruki could no longer afford to keep her mother's beautiful Japanese-styled home. She'd needed the money from that as well just to help pay for the apartment that was closer to the college, all the dorms had been filled for that semester, perhaps there would be one available next semester.

A/n: Well, what do ya think? Just a new idea I wanted to try, plus I love Jenruki's, ne? ^_^ Anyways I'll try to update as soon as I come up with something else for this fic, like I said before I've had writer's block and that's the reason I haven't updated 'Shattered Ice', I think I needed something fresh for the time being, then I'll get back to finishing my other fic. Gomen I know it's short so you don't have to tell me that, I just found this in my Word file (I started writing it a while ago) and thought I'd add to it and upload it. Anyways gotta go, please R&R, ja for now! ^_^
