Title: A Trip to the Digital World

"Another typical day." Rika Nonaka thought as she walked down the street, the sun was out over the trees, the sky was bright blue and not a cloud in the sky. Wearing her usual jeans and t-shirt, she headed towards the first day of her sophomore year. Her red hair was tied up high in a ponytail sticking out over her head, bangs framed her face and her violet eyes flashed intensively. She took out a ear phone and paused, "That's weird, I thought I heard something." She looked around the street but there was no one there. She blinked fiercely, and her amethyst-like eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Ever since the D-reaper incident four years ago she had persuaded her mom to take her out of that stupid private school and enroll her into the public school where she and her fellow Tamers went.

"Hey Wildcat!" A voice called out behind her, Rika groaned inwardly, the voice was familiar, too familiar. She pretended not to have heard but it was no use, for two minutes later, a brown haired boy caught up with her. His skin was tanned and his hair was stuck up all over the place, 'Like usual' she thought, 'I wonder how much hair gel he used this morning.' The boy turned to look at her, his cerulean eyes sparkled in the sunlight. 'Um...' Rika thought momentarily dazed but quickly shook that thought out of her head. "What is he doing here?"

"Ryo." She said acknowledging him. Although they had started off on the wrong foot, ever since the final battle, they had become close friends, well as close as they ever can be.

"Looking good." He smirked and checked her out. 'Real good' he grinned again. Although she didn't know, he had his eyes on her the moment he saw her. His favorite redhead was the same as ever, fiery-tempered, stubborn and somewhat cynical, but he knew the true her, the one behind the shield she put up. And she was... "Ow!"

She punched him on the shoulder for the comment, he rubbed it. "What are you doing here? I thought you lived far, far away." Ryo had lived outside of Shinjuku, but although it was a long distance, him and the rest of the Tamers often gathered together on weekends.

"I did." Ryo said and smiled mysteriously.

"What do you mean, you did?" Rika stopped again and turned to look at him.

"That's past tense Rika." He joked sarcastically.

"I'm not stupid. I know that. Don't tell me. I don't want to hear it anyways." She replied and started walking faster.

"Okay I get it, I'll leave you alone." He smiled. She stopped and looked at him in surprise.

"Are you joking?" She asked, she couldn't believe what she had heard.

"Nope, I'll leave you. But not for long though, I have a surprise for you later. I'll see you soon." He said and than ran off smiling at her dazed and confused expression, 'Real soon.' He thought again as headed off in the opposite direction.

Rika stood a bit bewildered by the whole encounter and than shook her head, Ryo didn't usual make her feel that unfocused. That was odd. Not giving another thought of it she continued walking to school.

"Hey Henry!" Takato called from across the field, his brown hair flying in the hair, he had on a set of blue and yellow googles and ran increasingly fast.

"Hey." Henry turned and his gray eyes looked at his sixteen year old friend. Takato was wearing his usual blue short sleeved sweatshirt with a hint of white t-shirt underneath. Henry himself had on a orange vest and black t-shirt. He was half-chinese with blueish black hair.

"You nervous?" Takato came to a stop, he and Henry had been close friends ever since grade five, they had first met each other in elementary school when Guilmon, Takato'sdigimon escaped from his hideout. The two had found out each other were Tamers and became friends. Even after four years and without their digimon, the two were still close as before.

"Not really, how about you?" Henry asked and picked up his school bag, the bell was going to ring and they had better head in.

"Definetly not. Well...maybe. Where's Kazu and Kenta?" Takato asked, he was talking about two of their other friends, who were also Tamers as well. They were real jokers and rather stupid, well at least Kazu was.

"They got in trouble I think, maybe they're in the principal's office."

"Already??" Takato sighed, "School hasn't even started!" He said and as if right on cue, the bell went off.

"Takato! Henry!" A female voice came up behind them, it was Jeri, another fellow girl Tamer, who had lost her own partner. She had grown up in the last four years not carrying her puppet or tied her hair in the ponytail. Instead of wearing her usual green dress, she was wearing a green skirt and a yellow top. She looked nice.

"Jeri!" Takato smiled and than turned red a bit, although he had confessed to the J-reaper who was pretending to be her, he didn't seem to have the courage to bring it up again. He had tried over the past year but somehow he never succeeded, maybe it was the thought of losing her friendship.

"How are you guys? Am I late?" She said while panting, trying to catch her breath.

"Right on time." Henry said, "Let's go."

"Class. My name is Mr. Morris, I will be your teacher this year. There are..." Rika zoned out. Five minutes haven't even gone by and she was bored. She stared around the classroom and twirled her pencil around her fingers and sighed, she was sitting by herself, of course. It was worse enough since everyone was whispering and throwing looks at her. Didn't they ever stop?

A knock came at the door and Rika looked up briefly, the principal came in. Not even realizing she started doodling on the piece of paper in front of her, a fox like shape, with sharp eyes and purple patterns...it was Renamon. Rika sighed again, it was probably the fifth time since this morning, and she missed her partner too much, they rarely got a chance to see each other.After the D-reaper incident, it was now impossible for Digimon to remain in the real world, thanks to Henry's dad. But it was still possible for humans to go to the Digital World, the only problem was, the portal wasn't always open. The last time they had been over to see their Digimon friends was 3 months ago.

"I'm sorry for the interruption." The teacher had done speaking to the principal and had came in followed by a familiar person. Rika stared at the person, 'No way...' She thought...and she looked harder. It was none other than Ryo Akiyama himself and he was standing in front of the classroom! What was worse was that he was grinning his trademark smile and staring right at her. Rika felt a wave of heat creep up her neck.

"WHAT!" She said and stood up, slamming her two hands on her desk. The whole class jumped and looked at her. Ryo just grinned wider.

"Is there a problem, Miss...Nonaka?" The teacher asked confused and obviously surprised. The surprise however was nowhere near how Rika felt.

"No. Sorry." Rika crossed her arms as she sat down. 'Great. I can't believe this'

"As I was saying, we have a new student, his name is Ryo Akiyama." The teacher said and everyone looked at the new boy, the girls started giggling and blushing and the guys were whispering to each other until...

"Are you Ryo! Like the actual Ryo?" A student voiced.

"Um. Ya." Ryo said and scratched his head, quite embarrassed and wonder where this was going.

"So you're the Digimon King?" Another student asked. Rika glared.

"Yep." Ryo said knowing his answer would piss his wildcat off. Well she wasn't his but still...

"WOW! NO WAY! We have the Digimon Queen AND King!" A few students yelled and Rika threw them a deathly look. They went silent.

"Right. Mr. Akiyama, if you could just pick a seat we could continue." The teacher said and went back to his desk.

"No problem." Ryo grinned and headed towards the back of the classroom, a few girls whispered and tried to get him to sit with them but to their disappointment, he ignored them and went and sat right next to Rika. "Surprise!" He whispered quietly.

"Great." She said sarcastically but yet her heart raced, ignoring the sudden increase in her pulse rate, she turned to look at him. "Just what I wanted."

"I thought so." Ryo winked and whispers flew out again around them.

"What are you doing here?" She hissed.

"Gee Wildcat, I thought you'd be happy to see me. I moved here, I told you this morning but I guess you didn't get it." Ryo teased and Rika rolled his eyes looking away at him pointedly.

...well??? please review!!
