Chapter 1
By: Rika24
NOTE: Takato, Rika, Henry and most of the others are in high school.
"Hey guys, are we going to play Digimon! Shouted Takato as he ran to the park to meet his friends at their usual meeting place inside the dino slide.
"No we're going to play go fish! Kazu shouted back sarcastically.
"We are?" asked Takato, obviously not picking up on the sarcasm.
"I was being sarcastic goggle brain." Kazu answered back.
Takato was about to answer back when he noticed their normal Saturday afternoon trio meeting wasn't just the three of them.
"Rika?" said Takato, a little shocked that she was there.
When they had gotten back from the Digital World and a little after they said good-bye to their partner digimon they had been inseparable, however the team drifted apart into tiny groups. Suzie, Ai, and Mako still played together, Jeri reunited with her original school group, Ryo moved away, Kazu and Kenta stayed away from everyone, and Rika, Takato, and Henry were the last grouping. But they avoided each other outside their little groups, except Takato who tried to be close to every member of his Tamer team, so far only Kazu and Kenta willingly aloud him to become a part of their group. But for some reason Rika was there with Kazu and Kenta.
"What are you doing here?" asked Takato.
"I decided to hang out with the losers." Rika replied sarcastically. Kazu shifted a little at that remark, obviously wanting to counter the comment but decided against it.
"Um…" Takato said, trying to find a way to reply to that, again not picking up on sarcasm. Rika realized that.
"Oh never mind, I'm here because I need to talk to you, and I know you hang out with "them" on Saturdays."
Again Kazu shifted.
"What was that!" said Rika in a tone that meant it wasn't a question.
"Um… nothing." Kazu said nervously, realizing that she saw him mouth his comment.
Yeah right, I'm sure it was nothing, but I don't have time to mess around, I have something more important to talk with Takato about.
"Come on Takato." Said Rika, as she grabbed his arm and dragged him off.
"I wonder what that was about." Said Kenta.
"Probably wants to hang with her boyfriend" said Kazu.
What! Rika thought as she wheeled around.
"I'll talk to YOU later."
Kazu gulped and sank down, already knowing what she ment by "talk."
Kenta laughed a little at Kazu's reaction, he stopped though after the sharp jab in the rib he got from Kazu.
"What is it?" asked Takato.
"Remember when you told us about the Digital gateway being open that month after our digimon went back?"
"Yeah."
"Do you think it'll happen again?" asked Rika hopefully. She stared into his eyes to tell if he lies to her.
Takato froze for a second when their eyes met, normally that meant she wanted to hurt him, but instead her cold violet eyes looked different, not nasty but hopeful.
"I don't know," he answered after a minute.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.
Takato flinched, thinking she didn't like the answer and was going to punch him. But her fists didn't rise.
Renamon I miss you, please be okay. She thought, feeling her eyes start to burn; she clenched her fists harder and bit her lip to hold back the tears. She was able to hold back some, but a couple did fall.
"Rika, um… are you okay?" Takato asked as he leaned toward her cautiously.
Rika glanced up for a second and saw Takato staring at her. Her eyes narrowed.
Great, now he has something to ruin my tough rep with.
"What's wrong?" Takato asked, trying not to notice Rika's icy glare.
What surprised him was that she stopped glaring at him.
"I… I'm worried about Renamon." She said.
"What for, I mean Renamon is one of the toughest of our partners, and plus she's not
"She contacted me" Rika interrupted.
"What?"
"She contacted me, yesterday."
"How?"
"I dunno, she just did."
FLASHBACK
I can't take this anymore!" when will she get it through her thick skull that I don't want to be a model!
Rika grabbed her pillow and ripped it to get out her rage. She had gotten good at venting her anger on inanimate objects instead of living things, (mainly Kazu.)
"Beep, beep, beep"
"Huh?"
"Beep, beep, beep."
"Where's it coming from?" wait, it sounds like my D-Power! It's gotta be Renamon!
Rika started throwing stuff around, searching franticly for the source of the beeping.
"The closet!" Rika through open the door, and there was a light coming from the pocket of her old jacket from when they fought the D-Reaper.
"The D-Power!" She grabbed it.
"Renamon! Renamon!" she shouted, nothing happened.
Why isn't she answering me? Maybe it's not her.
"Rika dinner!" Rika's grandma yelled. (Her mother, Rumiko, wasn't that much of a cook)
Rika threw the D-Power onto her bed.
"Rika, Rika."
"Renamon!" Rika shouted as she dove for the blue and silver digivice.
"Renamon what is it, what's wrong?"
A mini hologram of Renamon appeared over the D-Power.
Rika gasped. Renamon could hardly stand; she looked like she had been in a really bad battle.
"Please, we … need… your… help" At that point Renamon fell to her knees, she was trembling as she tried to get the rest of her message out.
"What happened, where are the others?"
"They're gone. I tried… to help but… it was… to late."
"What do you mean their gone! Who did this to you?
"Reap ermon." Renamon collapsed and the hologram faded till it was gone.
"Renamon, Renamon!" Rika screamed as she started to cry.
END FLASHBACK
"The others are gone!" Takato asked. "Does that include Guilmon?"
"I dunno, I didn't ask who she meant."
"What do you mean you didn't ask!" Takato shouted as he grabbed Rika's shoulders.
This isn't like him.
"Takato calm down!" Now that's something I never thought I would say.
Takato started squeezing her shoulders harder.
I've never seen him act like this. What's wrong with him?
So what do you think? This is the 1st time I've done a fanfic that included the actual digimon characters. I'm thinking about turning this into a Rukato, what do think? Please R&R!
