Shattered Ice

A/n: Hiya! Next chapter's up! As always reviews are greatly appreciated, and thank you to all of you who have reviewed so far, you guys are great encouragers! (heh heh, I feel like one of those slightly over the top, enthusiastic teachers, ugh) Seriously though, thanks so much! ^_^ One other thing, someone asked me what wicca was, well it's basically modern witchcraft, no devil worship, trust me on that one, I've read a million (well maybe not that many, but quite a few) books on wicca and its actually very interesting. * sigh * I could go on about this particular subject for hours, but I'll let you read up on it yourselves, if your interested of course, and I'll get on with the next chapter, here ya go! (P.S. This is kind of a fluffy chapter, you know sweet love stuff, possibly a kiss, but nothing like a lemon or anything, no worries it's still pg rated)
*~*~*~*~*
A warm, soft touch traced over her features, closed eyelids, barely open mouth, rosy cheeks, and nose. It graced through her shoulder length, auburn hair that had been released from the tight, gripping pony tail holder, and must have been scattered about the ground or whatever it was she was lying on. Her eyes flew open, wanting to know who was interrupting her blissful dream, she wondered in the meantime, 'Where am I? And where is that Jenrya?!' A blurry figure above her was looking down straight into her lavender eyes, she focused her sight a little and felt a small smile creep onto her lips when she saw her watcher. A pair of grey eyes were gazing down at her lovingly, he pulled his hand away immediately, blushing furiously, Ruki just shook her head with a small smile. She pulled herself up, apparently she'd been lying on his lap for some time now, he looked like his foot must have fallen asleep due to the fact he was shaking it awake and doing some quick stretches.
Not knowing quite what to say, Jenrya and Ruki occassionally glanced shyly at one another but otherwise they peered around at their vibrante, breath- taking surroundings. They appeared to be in a gorgeous, dream-like oasis, surrounded in a bright sunlit sky, a grove of cherry blossom trees weren't too far off, in full bloom, a small river also surrounded by trees, and a cool, clear waterfall flowing steadly were among the blooming trees. Standing up absentmindedly, Jenrya and Ruki felt a warm breeze glide over their faces, and breathed in the warm, south scent of cherry blossoms. Ruki sighed happily, somehow she knew things would be alright, for now anyways. Jenrya peered at the content girl taking in the mosaic surroundings, he followed her over to the cherry blossom grove of trees, which provided a great amount of cool, comforting shade from the warm sunrays.
Ruki slid down the trunk of one of the trees set beside the small river near the foot of the waterfall, she sat there as she listened for Jenrya's following footsteps approaching her. She closed her eyes, assured from everything that had happened so far that she could trust this place, on top of that she was still quite exhausted from the energy that she'd used to banish Aisling's consuming darkness. Just before the small framed girl drifted off, she felt something prop itself up beside her and lay her head on his shoulder, she breathed in his scent knowing perfectly well it was Jenrya and let herself fall into blissful unconsciousness. Jenrya played with the auburn-haired girl's hair for a few minutes until he too fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
***~***~***
Though it seemed as though only a few minutes had passed, it had been a couple of restful hours for the two before the dark-haired boy stretched his grey eyes open, and reminisced the events that had occurred that day. He thought to himself, 'First there was that unusual premonition thing, then I met Ruki at that weird shop, which I saw in the premonition, then there was that saving Ruki's life, then Aisling, and then- oh yeah somehow we ended up here, mmm…' The next thing he heard as he tried to drift off again, were, "Great! This is just great! Stupid water, try to get a drink and you fall in the river! Agh!" A few more curses were announced before he sighed, thinking quietly to himself, 'She always has something to complain about.'
Opening his eyes and focusing his vision, he looked around and noticed something wet and soggy pulling herself out of the river, wringing her hair out violently. He stood up to take this in, and chuckled a little, 'The temperamental, and witty Ruki, sopping wet 'cause of her own clumsiness. Never thought I'd see the day,' he began laughing harder, not being able to control himself, but he didn't notice Ruki sending a death glare that'd turn him into a ball of flames and ashes if it could. Ruki realized she was getting nowhere with this, and decided to take matters into her own hands. She jumped back into the water, groaning a little due to the chill it sent through her body, but she bobbed under the surface for a few moments. She peered up at the surface savouring the worried expression Jenrya's face now held, and smirked knowingly. When his face was right above the water overtop of her and he was shouting worridly, she flew up out of the water and pulled him in head first right over her head. Jumping up again quickly, she took in a deep breath, and began laughing, the dark- haired boy didn't know what had hit him. He was jumping up and down, waving his arms about in frustration at Ruki's merciless games, claiming they were downright cruel and sadistic.
Ruki grinned wickedly and did what she thought for sure would quiet him down, she turned to face her opposer with a smirk, ceased his shoulders, standing on her tippy toes, she placed a gentle, calming kiss right on his lips. She opened her eyes to be greated with an expected surprise look, blushing a little she informed him, "Well I had to shut you up somehow, and I wasn't in the mood to push you in the water again." Jenrya smirked, "Well two can play at that game," with that he leant over and kissed her back, a little longer this time, and breathtaking. He let go of her waist, as she sqirmed through, slightly baffled at her opposer's act, diving under the shallow waters, she came up a minute later, smirking gleefully, "Well if that's all you've got, you're gonna have to catch me," with that she dove off and swam away under the surface. Jenrya grinned, 'This should be interesting,' he thought as he dove off after her. They played in the water for hours, stealing kisses whenever one person was found, then that person was 'it' and they would have to chase after the other.
*~*~*
After their game had ended due to the extremely weird action that had come out of Ruki, she was laughing so hard, as though she'd never had anyone to play with before, and that'd pretty much ended the game, as Jenrya decided she needed to calm down for a while. He lifted her gently out of the water, feeling the goosebumps stuck to her arms and legs; and proped her shivering body up against one of the cherry blossom trees providing their shade. She was wearing a sleeveless, blue shirt and wrap overtop a pair of tight, black shorts, and Jenrya was clad in a long, grey t-shirt and baggy shorts. He snatched up his vest lying in the sun, and wrapped it around Ruki, trying to warm her up as much as possible. She was still laughing, 'Man what's going on with her?' he wondered to himself increduisly, amazed that she could be 'the Ice Princess' around anyone else, but with him it was like she was totally free from her cold, icy sheids.
The calm, Chinese-Japanese boy waited patiently, lying on his stomach, propped up on his elbows, a couple of feet infront of the hysterical girl. Soon Ruki realized what she was doing, and came to her senses quickly, she opened her eyes and realized Jenrya had been watching her the whole time, 'What a fool I must've made of myself,' and blushed in embarrassment. She raised her eyes towards the sky, placid freedom flowing through her gracefully, and sighed wearing her small, rare smile, gazing dreamily at the fluffy white clouds passing by overhead. "So what brought this on?" Jenrya's voice echoed questioningly. "Huh? What do you mean?" Ruki asked, curiously. "Well it's just in all the time I've known you, I've never seen your emotions let out so freely. For example, I'vc never seen you smile more than once in one day, at least not a real smile, and I've never heard you laugh like that, I mean so carelessly. So you know, what brought that on, and how come you don't act like that whenever anyone else is around?" He explained.
She dropped her chin to her neck, pulling her knees to her chest, she examined her shoes as though they were the most interesting things in the world, and mumbled an incomprehensible response.
*~*~*~*~*
A/n: Well that's all for now, bit of a cliffhanger there, and the chapter was extra long, there ya go! ^_^ Anyways please review, tell me what ya think, thanks again for all the reviews so far, and now I shall go and figure out what to write next. * sigh * Built myself into a bit of a cage here, now I gotta tell about Ruki's sadness and stuff, so pile on the chapters, joy, but don't worry I won't make it like a hundred chapters or anything, momentai. Hey speaking of momentai, I gotta fit the digimon in somewhere, ah they'll be in at the end I think. Well I'll be off now, ja! ^_^
