Shattered Ice
Disclaimer: Yes, I think you already know.
A/n: Decided to try and get ahead in updates for this fic, for once, who knows, it could happen… Anyways, I know that last chapter really sucked and I honesty did want to make it longer and more interesting, but that obviously didn't happen. I hate exams and studying for them takes up so much free time! On top of that I've had writer's block and that is definitely not good considering it just adds to the stress. * sigh * Well I'm sure you're tired of listening to me rant all day long, better things to do with your time, ne? So here's the next chapter, and I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it won't suck as bad as the previous one, heh heh…
Oh gomen, one thing, there's a bit of Takato bashing at the end, but not a whole ton, oh I dunno, just read for yourself!
*~*~*~*~*
A bright light and light tap on his left shoulder brought Jenrya back to reality. Blinking slightly in surprise, "Huh? What-where am I?" Jenrya stuttered along, peering up carefully at the security guard who had been standing over him for the past couple of minutes, giving him a look of astonishment and annoyance at the same time. "Hmm…You seriously don't know what happened?" Jenrya shook his head quickly still wide-eyed in shock, and curiousity. "Well, you and the young lady here," he started, as he indicated to the sleeping red-head lying exhaustedly beside the dark haired boy, "were found here a few minutes ago, in this abandoned shop, supposedly haunted, though that's non-sense. Ah, people these days, they'll believe anything-" "Ruki!" the boy cut in, as she squinted through the dimly lit room, attempting to seat herself up. "Huh? What's going on?" she stammered slightly. In an instant, Jenrya was next to her, supporting her lithe form, Ruki shot him a glare, but he just smiled as he gingerly supported her, 'Ah, she's never going to change,' he thought chuckling. 'Damn straight!' she countered, and smirked at the surprised expression he'd given her, 'that's right, I can use telepathy too, and it wasn't a dream.' Shaking her head lightly, she reached her hand over and lifted his gaping jaw closed.
The security guard looked a bit uncomfortable, seeing the two teasing one another, and caught in perplexity beyond his wildest imagination, though him ever having anykind of imagination was highly unlikely. 'Um well, these kids are weird. Teenagers, maybe I should just bring 'em down town for disturbing the peace,' 'Who's peace?' a cold, female voice questioned. 'My peace, that's who's- wait! What's going on here, who's talking to me in my head?' he shook his head, muttering quietly, "must'ev been that day old coffee…" Ruki and Jenrya looked at the guard as though he were the craziest man they'd ever seen.
Suddenly the same cold, female's voice boomed throughout the abondoned shop. The trio's heads shot up, trying to locate the loud booming voice and who it was coming from. It seemed to be coming from everywhere, Ruki's eyes widened as it lip-synced, though unknown to both of the tamers, it had voiced in the officer's mind, "Hey! Get out of my abandoned shop you prying fiend!" A smile spread across her face as she realized who it was, and she turned to face Jenrya's questioning eyes, nodding slightly. The security guard scrambled to his feet scared out of his wits, "Ahhh!!! This place really is haunted!" he looked back down at the kids in horror, as they grinned at his cowardice, "you're probably dead too! Ahh!" He jumped up and scrambled out of the room running as fast as his oversized waistline allowed him to.
Watching the so-called "fearless" security guard scramble out the door across the room was too much. They found themselves laughing so hard, their stomachs began to ache. After a few moments they looked up still grinning madly, to see their little ghost friend who'd managed to scare a "fearless" security guard witless, and bring the two, Ruki and Jenrya, closer than they'd ever thought possible. She smiled down at the two in admiration, and nodded slightly. Ruki and Jenrya pulled one another up, Aisling chuckled inwardly as she saw the beginings of their destinies that had yet to be fulfilled, but their set destinies were inevitiable. Their transparent friend bowed her head slightly, not really having anyway to communicate otherwise, save for possession and telepathy, but they understood all the same. With a small smile of appreciation, Ruki and Jenrya turned, brushing their hands slightly against one another's, and left the now abandoned shop.
*~*~*~*
Jenrya sighed irritably, annoyed to extremities with Takato's consistant chattering, but Jenrya, being the quiet, patient, calm, and kind person he was, wasn't about to say anything. The mall was emptying, people swarming about them in a rushing frenzy out of the checkout lines and out the door of the large building. Just as he started to bid goodbye to his annoying, but goodnatured friend, a flash of red locks captured his attention. Amidst the crowd, Jenrya's keen sight caught a brief flash of the auburn haired girl trudging along behind her perfection obsessed mother. The stubborn girl had her arms crossed and nose stuck up proudly, a glare settled on her face. Completely annoyed with that media mother of hers, mostly when she pulled a nice dress of the wracks of the metal wracks displayed infront of the stores, but otherwise, because she simply wanted to go home. Shopping with Ms. Makino wasn't exactly what she'd call 'fun'.
The dark haired boy grinned inwardly, 'Nope, she's never going to change, rather she's a fighter, not a lover.' He blushed a little, but shook his head, thinking such ridiculous thoughts. Takato hadn't seemed to notice Jenrya completely ignoring him, and gazing at what he'd refer to as 'the Ice Princess', but Jenrya knew better. Jenrya put his hand down on the table roughly, and pulling Takato out of his fantiscal thoughts of the success he was currently brewing.
"Huh? What's up Jen?" Takato questioned. Jenrya shook his head, maybe he'd forget what he was saying now, but decided to let Ruki in a little on the fun. He pointed and turned in Ruki's direction, "Oh! Hey Ruki!" Takato shouted across the mall, he blushed as most of the crowd quieted anticipating something important to come out of the boy's mouth, he grinned and laughed a little nervously pulling at his collar. Ruki sent a glare in his direction that'd probably burn a hole through him had it been lethal. People shrugged nonchalantly and continued on with their daily activities. Ruki glanced past the fair-haired boy, as her eyes landed on the dark haired boy seated next to him. She felt a small smile spread across her features, and a flutter in her stomach. She quickly stifled the feeling but kept her calm expression, she decidedly walked away from her mother and over to the two tamers.
Takato looked at her as though she'd gone completely mad, "I can't believe you just left your mother there!" "Well believe it," she replyed. "She doesn't even know you've left!" Ruki raised an eyebrow, "So?" "Well fine then! I'll just over there myself." Ms. Makino was currently grabbing up pieces of clothing and tossing them over her arm as she spoke to 'Ruki', this time she was a bench, last time it was a dummy. She'd obviously not noticed her daughter's disappearance. Jenrya chuckled lightly at the amusing scene, on top of that, Goggle-Head sprang forth determined to say hello to Ruki's mother, and tell her it wasn't Ruki who was catching the clothes she piled on the bench. 'I think Ruki's rubbing off on me,' he thought to himself, as he'd referred to Takato as Goggle-Head. "What are you laughing about?" Ruki glared at him, but inwardly giggling as well. Jenrya looked worried for a second and began to appologize, but Ruki smiled and laughed a little, "So gulible."
They both grinned a little, as they observed the courageous Takato run forth, and stood up walking off towards the exit. Talking a little about Digimon, their ghost friend Aisling, and other related school items. They were friends, and that was only the beginning. Destines intertwined inevitably. The two tamers had more than a memory, they had each other, and would have one another forever more.
~*End*~
*~*~*~*~*
A/n: Okay I know, it was a cheesy ending, but the thing I was most surprised about is that it actually did end! Amazing things do happen! Lol! * sigh * Now I'm gonna be dying to write another, well soon enough anyways, since I'm now on summer holidays, despite the fact I may have to go to summer school for my stupidity in math! Ugh! The worst subject on the planet!!!! Die! Okay, gomen, anyways I would have posted this sooner, like I promised, but ff.net had that hardware failure thingie goin' on, and well anyone who's got their stories posted on the site would know what I'm talking about. Well I'd better shut up and let everyone get on with their day, hope to be writing another fic soon. Perhaps a sequel? We'll see, seeya all laters, don't forget to please R&R! Ja! ^_^
