Too Close To Be Apart

Con2020tran: Okay, I know that I said that my new story would come out after I was done either TDR2 or D&L, but...I couldn't wait anymore. Whenever I have this story in my head, I can't concentrate on the other 2 stories. So I've chosen to type this one out so I can actually concentrate on them. This story is almost done, I just need to write 2 more chapters to it...oh, and there is going to be a sequel, I decided that yesterday. Also, some of you might remember this same story from yesterday; I reposted it because when I tried to read this story, it said that the story was not found. So anyone who reviewed the story from before, please review again. It would mean a lot to me. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, but I do own this story and the plot.

Chapter 1: Not part of your world

"No," came the quick, short reply.

"What? But you can't..."

"Guards, show Prince Jack the way out please," said the king.

"Fine then, I'll go find my own way out of this place," said the angry Jack and walked away.

When Prince Jack was out of sight, King Peter turned to face his daughter. "Yama, you can not keep on turning down every prince that comes here."

"Tell me again why I have to do this," said Yama*.

The king sighed, "Because your future husband, someone chosen from the day you were born, is dead and you need to find someone that suits you and get to know him better, in order for marriage. Yet you keep on turning down people."

"One-They're all jerks. Two-I'm too young. And three-I'm going to my room," and with that she left the hall.

The servants all shook their heads. This was the 3rd time that Princess Yama had turned a young man down. They were all beginning to doubt that she was going to get married at all. But their doubts vanished and they continued their work once they received a hard glare from her piercing violet eyes.

Yama soon reached her room and lay down on her bed, tired with all thoughts in her thoughts in her head.

When Yama had first awakened in the castle 3 days ago, she seemed to have forgotten everything that had happened before, though she could still see some unclear, nonsense images. Her parents had told her that she had run away when she was young due to her future husband's death, and that they had just found her again. But Yama still knew that she didn't belong to this place, yet she couldn't make all of the pieces of the puzzle fit.

"Home," she said to no one and fell asleep.

(Meanwhile, in a place that everyone knows)

"What do you mean she just vanished into thin air?!" exclaimed Rumiko Nonaka, after hearing what Takato, Ryo, Henry and Jeri have kept for 3 days. "First you say that she went to the Digital World for a few days and now you say that she just disappeared!"

"We're very sorry that we've kept this a secret from you for three days Ms. Nonaka," apologized Henry Wong.

"Well, do you know where Rika went?" asked Rika's grandmother.

"No, but we do know that she isn't in the Digital World, cause our Digimon have been looking for her there for 3 days now," said Takato Matsuki.

"We just didn't want to tell you that...in case you would worry more," added Jeri Katou.

"Worry more?! How can I worry more?! I was worry less when you told me that Rika was in the Digital World. I'm so worried now that I think I've broken the record for being the most worried!" shouted Rumiko.

"Just calm down," said the elder. "The kids were right in not choosing to tell you. You have got too much on your mind."

"Don't worry Ms. Nonaka, we'll find Rika and find her soon," Ryo assured the 2 adults and left the house without so much as a goodbye.

Too much was on Ryo's mind also. He and Rika were just friends, but he felt something when they were together, something that he had never felt before. Now that she was gone, he felt emptier than before, lonelier than before. Who would have known that just talking and hanging out with his friends, would lead to her sudden disappearing act?

Ryo walked until he was at the park where Rika had disappeared, thoughts crowded in his head. He sat down on an old wooden bench, head in his hands. He needed to be alone at the moment. He just couldn't help but think about Rika, why? Why did he feel like he would do anything to find her, why? Then he suddenly stood up and using as loud a voice that he could manage, yelled out the name that penetrated his thoughts.

"RRRRRIIIIIKKKKKAAAAA!!!!!"

Suddenly, all around him was darkness. He panicked, not sure of anything right now. Then he felt a sharp pain go through his head, an intense pain. His vision became fuzzier (even though everything was dark), his muscles became weak and wouldn't respond to his commands, until he finally gave into unconsciousness.

(Somewhere else..)

Yama woke up the moment that dream had ended, wondering about what it meant. It was about a strange, yet familiar place where things on wheels carrying people, roamed the roads and where some buildings were taller than even a castle. But something that had stuck out the most was this one boy, a boy with brown hair and blue eyes. Yama felt like she knew this boy and that he was...something to her, was this boy... Yama shook the thought out of her head, of course not he belonged to such a strange place. Still, there was something about him...

'Hmm...it's a nice day to go and take a walk outside, to get my mind off of that strange boy,' thought Yama as she looked out the window. 'And away from this confusing life.' Yama changed into the white and blue t-shirt and blue jeans that she had first woken up in and put on a black hooded cloak over them. 'I just need an hour or two to be alone,' and with that, she opened a hidden door that she had found just yesterday, a door that led to a secret staircase through the entire castle. It surprised her that no one else seemed to know about it. She quickly went downstairs.

"Move it boy! Stop lying around! Get up!" shouted a rough, low voice.

Slowly, Ryo looked up and saw the snout of a horse looking at him. He quickly got up, ignoring the pain in his head, and got out of the way of the wagon.

"Lying on the road...slows everything down, time is money," muttered the man on top of the wagon, and the horse continued down the road.

Ryo's mind slowly began to realize that his surrounding were not of West Shinjuku, but of another place. 'Where am I? Everything is so...so old time looking. I must have dimension traveled because this is definitely Medieval England yet I just understood what that guy said.' He shook his head to clear his thoughts, his head still hurting. 'I've got to get back to my dimension...somehow.'

Suddenly, he felt something go through his spine. Something was here...what was it?

~ Makin' my way downtown

Walking fast

Faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead

Just makin' my way

Just makin' a way

Through the crowd

And I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by

Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you tonight

It's always times like these

When I think of you

And wonder if you ever think of me

Cause everything's so wrong

And I don't belong

Livin' in your precious memory

Cause I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by

Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you tonight

I, I don't want to let you know

I, I drown in your memory

I, I don't want to let this go

I, I don't

Makin' my way downtown

Walking fast

Faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead

Just makin' my way

Just makin' a way

Through the crowd

And I still need you

And I still miss you

And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass us by

Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by

Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

If I could just hold you tonight~

*This is NOT the Yama from The D-Reaper 2. This one is a different one, and I'm not stating the obvious.

Con2020tran: Well, that was the first chapter. Like I said, I'm almost done this story so suggestions MIGHT not be considered. I just need 2 more chapters for this and I'm done, and then I can work on my other 2 stories (Unless this story's sequel ideas come bombing into my head like this one did). The song was 'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton, I decided to rewrite this chapter with this song in there because the song just makes sense to the chapter somehow. Please review! Please Review my story, give me suggestions (Not really), give me comments, just give me something! Chapter 2 will be coming up soon; all I need to do is type it...
