A/n: Yes I typed up the first chapter of the story!! I got into school now, so updating will take some time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So everytime soeone passed by the mirror and saw the reflection of that still picture, they died the next day."
"Why ?"a kid asked.
"Because whatever you saw in the mirror was a killer ready to kill you!"
"Look a mirror!" "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"All the kids screamed. All the tamers came in and calmed them down.
"What did you tell them? They're just kids."Jeri whispered while they were sleeping.
"The last glance story. Besides, they are just kids."Rika smirked.
"We're supposed to show them good examples. Not scare them."
"Jeri, this is a temporary job until we get back to school/"
"We having to teach them something. Like art."
Rika stared at Jeri. Rika teaching? Rika teaching art? Can that really happen?
"Ok, you can scratch the last sentence."Jeri realized what she brought up."But at least stop scarin them."
Takato, Henry, and Ryo came in. Kazu and Kenta were getting their lunches.
"That's the last of them."they sat down.
"This one kid became parnoid about something. That took me a while to get him down."Ryo sighed,
"All the kids were spooked again. I'm guessing Rika was watching them."Takato said.
"It's your fault for leaving me with the brats."Rika grabbed her backpack."I didn't expect my sophomore year to envolve putting kids to sleep."
"When are Kazu and Kenta coming? I'm starved." Henry moaned.
"Did you guys get to driving school yet?" Jeri started a topic.
"No. My dad said to wait a little while."Ryo replied.
"I'm practicing. I've been studying too."
"Food is here!" Kazu exclaimed. The tamers ran up and put their hand over his mouth.
"SHHH!!!"
"Wat?" he mumbled.
"We just put them to sleep." Rika listened if any of them woke up. Knowing they were all asleep, they went to the lobby and ate their lunch.
"What did you say to them? Well, what story actually?" Ryo bit into his burger.
"Last Glance mirror. It's not even that scary." Rika ate some fries.
"No mercy on kids either. How sad is that?" Kenta opened his soda.
"Too bad. I wouldn't be me if I was nice."
"That's Rika, stikes fear into you if you let your guard down." Ryo agreed. Rika didn't respond, but kept eating.
"What're you guys doing for the weekend?" Kazu wondered.
"Meet at the park if you wanna hangout."Takato said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next day Rika's house~~~~~~~~~
"Nice room."
"Ryo?! What are you doing here?" Rika exclaimed.
"Your mom let me in. Anyways I'm here to drop off something personally. It was requested." Ryo took something out of his bag.
"That explains your awkward attire today." Rika pointed at Ryo's clothes.
"Its my real job aside from the daycare. A message boy." Ryo gave her the note."I didn't write it, I just deviler."
"Ok whatever." Rika took it."Bye."
"Bye."Ryo smiled."See you later."
'What is it about?' Rika opened the note. It said: It's time for you to stop. This is just a warning.
"What?"
A figure appeared before the note. One with a red hodded robe. His face was hidden behind the dark shadow.
"Who...? Are you death in a different form or something?"Rika paused from her panic."Why aren't you in a black robe?"
"I'm not death. Too many people think so if I keep wearing this though."
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Rika asked. The figure unmasked himself.
It was her father.
"I realize that I have ruined your memories of me when you were young and replaced those memories with the things I have done to you."he stood.
"Leave me alone."
"Pay attention to what I say. You have to start showing the people you care about how you truly feel."
"What?!"
"You know what I'm talking about. If you don't, then consequences will arise."
"Like I am scared of that."
"You will start to loose them. Everytime you deny it and continue to treat them as you do. You may ignore what I say, but I'm only trying to help."
"I think this note has some virus or something." Rika went to the note.
"Suit yourself. I've already tried to help you avoid anything and you do not even take it." he faded.
Rika sighed and went off to meet her friends for another get together. She put the note into a drawer and off.
'Warning? Warning my-'
"Rika? Where are you going?" Ms. Makino interrupted her thoughts.
"Where else do you think?" Rika put her shoes on.
"Want me to-"
"Bye. I'll be back later."Rika opened the door.
"I just want to do stuff with you. Your grandma is gone for a while. I got through to you one time, can't it happen again?"( A/n:I consider the shirt of the heart thing a moment.)
'I don't know mom.' Rika thought.
"That was out of pity nothing more."
Rika left her mom. Ms. Makino watched the door after she left.
'Why is she always pushing me away?' her mom wondered.
~~~~~~~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~~~~~
'Awkward attire. Maybe she's got a better job than I do.' Ryo wondered as he made his way in the park. Rika came along there.
"I figure you'd go ahead." Ryo smiled.
"I figured you'd come with your uniform." Rika replied.
"What other job do you have?"Ryo asked.
"None of your bussiness."
'That's weird. I have an empty feeling of what I said to my mom.What is it? I hate it. Go away!!' Rika thought.
"How's your dad?"he changed the subject.
"I dunno."
"If you want I can go with you to--"
"No, it's ok. Theo thers are here." Rika cut him.
"Let's go to the mall!" Jeri exclaimed.
"Jeri..."
"Takato, are you agianst this?!"
"No. Just wondering if I could drive....."(A/N:-- their dating)
~~~~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~~~
'Everyday is boring. Can't anything change?' Rika lay on her bed.'Was I dreaming about my dad that day? Could what he say be true?'
"Rika?" Ms. Makino knocked."Can I come in? There's something I need to say."
Rika opened her door. That weird feeling she once felt rose. Her mom sat down with Rika.
"What is it?" Rika asked in a non-sympathetic tone.
"Your grandma isn't visiting your cousin...she's been in the hospital."
"Ok.....why?"
"She is dying."
"Of what?"
"They haven't determined yet. I haven't told you before because you're always going out. I don't want her to die Rika." Ms. Makino hugged her.
'Mom.....'Rika and her mom sat.'Could....what my dad say.......be coming....true?'
Her mom bagan to cry.
'But.....why?'
"I'll go with you if you want."Rika offered.
~~~~~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~~~
'Why do I feel this way? What is this sharpness?' Ryo thought. He lay staring at the ceiling.
"Ryo? Why are you there without any lights?"Mr. Akiyama came in.
"I'm not doing anything. Just thinking."
"Ok. I'm gonna go down to work. I'll come back later."
'I don't like it.' Ryo got up.'I have to make it go away.'
*Ring*Ring*
Ryo snapped out of it and answered the phone.
"Ryo. Can we talk?"
"Ya...sure. When? Where?"
"Now. Can you meet up at the park? The bench near the usual meet?"
"Ya, sure."
'Guess I'll have to deal with me later.' Ryo left a note for his dad.
~~~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~~~
'Ryo listens.Maybe I could trust him. He's coming.' Rika sat beneath the shadows.'Someone has to know.'
"Rika? What's up?"
"You know the note you sent me? It was from my dad."
"I didn't know I swear."
"After I read it, he appeared sort of. He said that if I don't stop doing what I always did, then the people I know will go away. Now my grandma's in the hospital dying." Rika looked at him."Do you believe me?"
"Sounds weird."
"But do you?"
"I...guess. You can tell me if anyone else is going away. As for your grandma, she is old. That could be a reason."
"You're right." Rika sighed."Thanks."
Ryo didn't smile, though he tried to force one. Rika didn't buy it, but didn't think much of it either.
'Seems like Rika's dreaming.'
~~~~~~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~`
----few days later----
'Maybe what Rika said could be true. After all, the other tamers are getting on the verge of paranoia.'
"For the last time Ryo, stop being lazy and go out! Go apply for a job or something!"
"Ok dad."
"Stop going with your friends and be occupied."
'I need to tell Rika that it's too much to carry.'
