Will You Be Mine Chapter 1 = Forever Gone

All the tamers and Rika's mother were in a waiting room. It was a few weeks after Rika incident and she was still alive, but barely. They were waiting to hear about the news of their Rika Nonaka. Ryo felt bad. ' If only I came in sooner I could have stopped her. I don't know why I even liked Lacey. I haven't paid attention to Rika lately. Its all my fault.' Ryo thought.

" You all better go now. School is starting in fifteen minutes." Rumiko said, but practically whispered.

" Alright Ms. Nonaka. We're heading off right now." Jeri said.

" But we'll be back after school. Right guys?" Ryo announced.

" Um, sorry buddy, but I have to do lots of chores today." Kazu said.

" Sorry Ryo. Me and Jeri are going to the movies." Takato said feeling sorry.

" Yeah, Jay and I are heading off to the mall, and then to the movies. We are meeting these two girls there. Sorry Ryo." Henry said.

" Ryo, I have to go with my mom to the hair place for her hair to be done…I don't know why I'm going, but I have to. Sorry." Kenta said blushing.

" Hollie? Kay? What about you?" Ryo asked.

" Sorry Ryo. We're going on a shopping spree." Hollie said.

" Oh ok. I guess I'm the only one coming Ms. Nonaka." Ryo said giving her a small smile.

" Alright Ryo. I'll see you after school then. Bye all of you." Rumiko said waving her hand in the air.

~~~WALKING TO SCHOOL~~~

" Man, Ryo. Why are you always at the hospital? That's where you spend half your day." Kazu told him.

" I don't know. I just really care about her." Ryo said.

" What are you going to tell Lacey?" Jeri asked.

" I'm going to tell her I don't like her how she likes me." Ryo said.

" Good plan." Takato said. All the tamers got to the nightmare house…also known as school… The day went on like any normal day. Just, Rika wasn't there.

~~~***~~~***~~~time passes by slowly…its now after school~~~***~~~***~~~

Ryo was walking to the hospital like he would usually do ever since a few weeks ago. He was thinking how long it would take for Rika to wake up. ' I feel like having ice cream…' Ryo thought……okay…maybe he's not thinking that…anyways, he was opening the door, and saw Rumiko crying into her hands. Ryo ran over to her quickly.

" Ms. Nonaka! What's wrong?" Ryo asked.

" The doctors say she won't make it…" Rumiko said as she cried more.

Soon doctors came out of Rika's room. One of them walked up to Rumiko and began to speak," I'm sorry Miss, but your daughter just passed away… We tried everything to keep her alive, but she was just too weak to stay alive… Again, I'm sorry." Then the doctor went off to some other part of the hospital…

I had some hope,

I couldn't do anything else but mope,

I can't believe you're not here,

I think I feel a tear,

Times passed by,

I really did try,

To keep you in my heart,

But now that we're apart,

I found someone new,

But I still love you.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ryo laid on his bed. Yeah, its true. He found someone new, but he did like Rika… "Gone Forever… I'm sorry Rika…I still love you …I can't believe you're gone forever." Ryo said aloud.

Dark Shadow: Wow! Ryo found someone else?! Geez, that poem came from the top of my head… anyways, could Rika REALLY be gone forever? Wait for answer until next chapter!
