How To Trap Yourself In A Cage With The Tigress

Well, hi folks. Glad to be back after my small break. Lets see, its about eight days until christmas. So, everybody remember what happen in the last chapter. Well Takato really screw up, what was he thinking reading her diary and then giving it back while offering to buy her dinner. Now I would say in some situations that thats kind've smooth, you know he was trying to get a little thing going for the next level of relationship. I mean techniqually thats called a date, but don't tell Rika that. However our young hero acted to fast and the results was that his battleship got sunk. Even though that would usually be the end of the game, we still have some time to make it work out. So I'm giving him and Rika chance to continue. However, by christmas day(in this fanfic ofcoarse)if they don't worship the power of the goddess Aphrodite...well lets not not think of that, RUKATO forever.

Rika sat on the bench with her lunch right next to her, which consisted of soda, sandwitch, chips, some M&Ms. A perfect lunch like any other lunch, only it had not been touched.

"Man, why aren't I eating anything" she said outloud "I have this stuff every day, but I just can't right now...I wonder what Takato is having for lunch". Quickly the girl shook her head with that thought out of it. She hadn't seen the boy since the day before when she tricked him into revealing the bad deed he had done. She had chose to try to make feelings for another living being, to hold affection for someone else who wasn't her father. And he broke her faith in him.

"Why am I thinking about that freak" she said referring to how she saw him "I'm done with Takato".

"Hey Rika who are you talking about". Looking behind her Rika saw her archrival in basically almost everything, Naomi Kazisam. The girls had been at it since the first time they met, and thats been a really long time. Naomi bragged about things, while Rika was always able to answer her bragging as if it was nothing to begin with. Naomi bragged about having more friends, Rika said she had enough friends. Naomi bragged about her lunch, Rika would say that her own lunch was just how she liked it. Naomi bragged about being more popular at school, Rika said she didn't give a care. Yep total enemies.

"None of your business Naomi". The taller girl kept staring at the redhead.

"Well it sounded like you was talking about a guy" she said putting an evil grin on her face "Takato right, maybe I ought to look him up". Rika blushed as she responded.

"Listen cringle hair, I don't give a care about that freak" said Rika as she turned her head "you do what you want, but leave me out of it". The two girls were quiet as a breeze blew by.

"Naa, I don't think I will" said Naomi as she put a hand on her hip.

"Hm" replied Rika looking back at her enemy.

"Well I mean that I'm so much better than you when it comes to reconizing a cute boy, what you see has to be ten times better for me to call handsome" said the blonde as she put a smirk on her face "but if he's a freak to you, than he must be dirt to me-SMACK!". The blonde didn't see it coming at her. With her head turned the other way and her cheek burning as if it was on fire, her thoughts could only come up to one thing. Rika slapped her.

"Why you little-huh" she started but noticed that the redhead had packed her lunch and left "just you wait Rika, I'll get back at you for this". The young tamer ignored her as she got her train of thoughts working again.

"Why did I slap her" she said looking at her hand. She never had slapped anyone before, usually she would give them the old 'one-two'. Than her mind went back on what she was saying about Takato.

"I don't care about him anymore" she said as she continued her walk in the park "maybe I over reacted a little bit, he was bound to find out about me". Thats when she stopped.

"No, no he shouldn't have done it in the first place". Rika continued her walk.

"Hey, Takato wait up a second". Takato turned around to find Kazu and Kenta running after him.

"Oh hey guys whats up" he said when they stopped. The to took a look at each other before they answered.

"Takato, I'm sorry" said Kazu while bowing his head.

"What?" was all Takato could think of.

"I said I'm sorry, for hitting Rika" said Kazu still keeping his head down "I shouldn't have been a bad sport in the game, its just that I...".

"Hey, don't worry about it Kazu" Takato stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder "it was just a game, Rika said it was her own fault for getting careless". Kazu and Kenta looked up at Takato.

"Yeah but..."

"Listen Kazu, your ok with Rika" said Takato with a sad smile on his face "she'll be her normal self, atleast you can be forgiven in her book". With a sad look Takato stared at the ground as he sat on a bench. Kazu and Kenta watched him for awhile, feeling abit worried they joined him.

"Hey Takato is something wrong" asked Kenta.

"We'll help you out the best way we can, and don't worry...it'll be better than that time when your chicken sandwhich and chocolate pudding ran off" added Kazu getting Takato to laugh. After he calmed Takato thought for awhile. Could he trust Kazu and Kenta.

"Ok you guys, I think I can tell you" said Takato looking up "but what I'm about to say is going drive you insane". Both of the boys stared at him with dead serious eyes.

"Ha-ha, hahahaha" Kazu began like a maniac "hahahahahahahaha, ok Takato...thats the most funniest joke I ever heard".

"Yeah Takato, we knew you had a sense of humor" added Kenta "but this is just one joke you might want to keep to yourself". Takato just sat still and didnt say a thing. It took Kazu and Kenta a minute to see how serious he was.

"Wait, your not serious" said Kazu.

"I am".

"But this is just crazy, Rika has a crush on you" said Kenta "thats just to weird". Takato sign and got up from the bench.

"Well, didn't exactly expect you to believe me" was all he said as he walked down the path. Kazu and Kenta knew this was no trick.

"Hey Takato get over here" shouted Kazu.

"Huh" Takato turned back.

"He said get back over here, how can we help you if your over there" replied Kenta. For awhile the tamer just stood there, but he began to walk back as a smile appeared on his face.

"Thanks you guys".

"Hey don't mention it, just help us out with the christmas party".

"Ok, ok".

"Ok here's the plan, I just saw Rika walking in the park ten minutes before we found you so what we'll do is..." Kazu relayed his plan which was a plan that only he could come up with. In the end, Takato thought it was crazy...crazy enough to work that is.

Rika was still walking in the park that day, when Kazu and Kenta popped up.

"What do you dorks want" the redhead said with the cold aditude.

"Well Rika we see your growing up abit...I mean just check out those hips" said Kazu pointing at her rear end "I can see you on world's biggest losers right now".

"Although, I do like big butts and I cannot lie" added Kenta. The plan was working, the redhead was blushing like mad.

"Aww, she's blushing...isn't that cute" said Kazu as the two made a bolt for...with hurricane nonaka right behind them ofcoarse. Step one was complet, now came step...no seriously, step two was coming right ahead of them. The Matsuki Bakery! The two digimon geek literally flew through the door and burst up the stairs. Rika on the other hand, tripped over a customer. She quickly got up(ignoring the screams of the poor fellow)and rushed up stairs to the room she saw them run into. The room was messy, obviously Takato's. The door to the balcony was open, but as the redhead went to go check it out she heard a click behind her. Snapping her head around, she saw the door closed...and standing infront of it was Takato.

"You? Whats going on here, where are those dorks" she said. The only answer she got was the boy taking a step closer.

"Answer me freak". Takato took another step towards her.

"S-stay back, don't come any closer" said the girl as her voice starting to tremble. This time Takato charged at her like a grizzly.

"EEEEEK". Rika stoode there with her hands over her face as the boy swung his arms around her, holding her close against him. But as the time passed she reliezed that was all he was doing. Taking her hands from her face, she saw him looking her straight in the eye. She stared back before she got control of herself.

"Let me go you..."

"No can do Rika".

"What, why if you don't get away from me right now I'm gonna..."

"Sorry Rika, but I still owe you a hug" said Takato smiling at her. That shut her up good like Whataburge. She stopped fighting against the boy, allowing him to hold her.

"Please Takato, let me go".

"Not just yet".

"Don't you get it, sure maybe I did have a crush on you but now after what you did...you can't just go around trapping me in your room".

"Please Rika, let me explain..."

"Explain what Takato,sniff you read my diary" Rika was starting to shedd tears "let go of me Takato or you'll get hurt". The boy stood there looking down at her, than he did what she didn't expect him to do. He picked her up in his arms and slowly sat down on the floor.

"One Rika, the only way you can truly hurt me right now is by walking out on me now" he said while cuddling her "two, please hear me out on this one". The girl was quiet at his words.

"Alright, talk" she said trying to regain any aditude she lost into her tears.

"For one if you really do like me, than why do you always treat me like I'm not a real friend to you" he said raising his voice.

"What do you mean, you are a real friend to me".

"You sure don't make it seem that way".

"Takato, you know how I am" she said looking up at him "and you are a real friend to me, well atleast I thought you was until you went into my privacy". Takato gave her a hard look but didn't say anything.

"Yeah, what kind've friend does that for no reason" she snapped at him "if you ask me Takato, you got no right saying how I'm treating you like a friend..."

"YOUR WRONG" roared the tamer "I do...I do have a reason. And its because I like you to". Rika was completely quiet and was sure that her heart skipped a beat.

"I like you Rika, I probably did more than like you" said Takato as he held her closer "but everytime I thought I could get closer to you, you always push me away". Rika remembered the Guilmon jumped off the roof.

"I always thought that I was doing something wrong, so when I saw your diary I thought I could make everything better between us". Stunned, Rika layed her head on his chest. He gave back her love. Maybe, just maybe he was different from everyone else.

"Takato, I'm...about all of this" she mumbled under her breath.

"Huh" said the boy as he looked down at her.

"I said I'm...about pushing you away" she kept mumbling.

"Um Rika, I can't hear you".

"I SAID I"M SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN NICER TO YOU" she gave him an earful "its just that I'm not suppose to be nice and all..."

"Oh Rika" he said as he looked up and burned with a major blush. Outside hanging from the roof of the balcony, was Kazu and Kenta with snot coming out of their noses and rivers out of their eyes...not to mention the very expensive looking camera Kazu was holding. But all of a sudden the two stopped their emotional moment, and starting waving their arms like maniacs and pointing inside the room. At first Takato thought they were playing, but when they didn't stop he looked behind him to see where they were pointing. It was the door, or more likely what was on the door. Takato looked closer, and saw three pictures he had cut out from the magazine he found a few days ago. Each one was a Rika shot. Thats when Takato wondered why they were pointing at it just now, thats when it hit him...literally. Rika gave him an upper cut that nocked him on his back. She had seen the pictures!

"Takato" she said as her dark emoitions circled her. Looking out the window he saw Kazu and Kenta weren't sticking around.

"Takato..." said the female tamer again as she pounced on him with her fist"YOU PERVERTED SON OF A..."

Ok back to the fanfic.

"Ugh, what happen" said Takato as rose up off the floor "ow, hey wheres Rika". The looked around him to see that he was alone. Than he remembered what happen.

"Oh yeah, Kazu came up with this plan" he said as touched his cheek reliezing he was in pain "Rika left...she walked out". Takato looked at the door while a heavy feeling worked its way into his heart.

"I told her the only way she could hurt me was if she left". The boy sat quiet for a moment, and than the first tear came.

"Why didn't she listen to me" he said as he let it rain "she never listens to me, she just...just". Takato cried himself to sleep. But before he close his eyes he said to himself.

"No more, I won't let you hurt me anymore Rika".

"WE'RE THROUGH" he roared "you, your diary, us...ITS OVER".
