Ruki

     Takato was in a strange place that somewhat looked like his room…..He saw a microphone and a recorder. He decided to make his own recording, by singing his own version of one of his favorite old songs: Mama by the Spice Girls He started to sing:

"She always was the only girl that would ever challenge me.

Battling was the only thing I thought she likes.

Every other day, she would battle me,

She never meant to be so bad.

I never thought she would become the friend I never had.

Back then, I didn't know why,

Why you were always so mean.

When I look in your cute eyes,

All I can see is love.

Chorus

Ruki, I love you. Ruki, I care.

Ruki, I love you. Ruki, my friend.

My friend.

I didn't wanna say it then, but

I'm not ashamed to say it now.

You are the most cutest girl that I've ever seen.

I had a lot of time to think about,

About the way you used to be.

You never, ever had a sense of kindness straight to me.

Back then, I didn't know why,

Why you were always so mean.

When I look in your cute eyes,

All I can see is love.

Ruki, I love you. Ruki, I care.

Ruki, I love you. Ruki, my friend.

My friend.

Now I'm sure, Yeah, I know why,

Why you were always so mean.

When I look in your cute eyes,

All I can give you is love.

Ruki, I love you. Ruki, I care.

Ruki, I love you. Ruki, my friend.

My friend.........................." He made a good recording, but when he was done, he saw a bunch of people cheering, as if he had a concert!

 "Takato! Takato! Takato!…….."

"Takato???? Takato??????? School's out. You can wake up now!!! The teacher has been waking you up for 5 minutes already, but he gave up, so I let him leave while I tried to wake you up," said Ruki.

Takato lifted his head. "Huh??????"

"You can get up and go home, now...................And you can stop humming Mama by the Spice Girls. I like them, but……Oh, nothing…….. " she said, while drooping her head.

"Somethin' wrong, Ruki???????" sort of blushing.

"Nothing. You probably won't like it, but I'll tell you anyway........."

"Wait, Ruki. Before you say something, I need to tell you something."

"What is it??????"

"I...............I.................I.....................I.................I..............I love you, Ruki," he blurted out. "I loved you since I first saw you when I first came to this school."

"That's what I was going to tell you!!!!!!"

"Oh. Well.........I thought if I told you earlier, you wouldn't love me back.............."

"Say no more. I love you, too." She bent over, and gave her a kiss on the lips real quick. Takato wished it would last longer, though.

"Uh......." he said while blushing. "Uh..............I guess that's how much you love me."

"I was going to tell you, but I thought you loved Juri."

"Juri?????? Oh, puh-lease!!!!! Juri isn't interested in Digimon, anyway. Usually, I talk about Digimon. Besides, she's cute, but annoying..........Especially with that sock puppet of hers. Don't you notice she wears it almost ALL the time??"

"Yeah. It pretty much annoys me. A lot." She giggled at the thought of someone wearing a sock puppet all the time. "She ALWAYS makes it talk whenever it's on her, pretending the puppet actually talks."

     "I'm glad you love me, Ruki."

"I'm glad, too."
