Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, don't sue me.
Ok, I know most people who read this fic kinda expect some kind of pairing to happen. I was sort of leaning towards that idea but I am not a big fan of writing romance fics. Well, I'm not a Henika (Wow, that looks weird) person, and I don't like Yaoi, but I support Rukato. So, I suppose I might as well add a bit of romance in it. Go ahead and flame me, the story's not that great. Enjoy! (Wait, if I just said the story wasn't that good, how do you enjoy it? And if you enjoy it, wouldn't the story be good? If the story's good, why did I...?) *Takato, Rika, and Henry run up to tape duct tape over silverlily's mouth.*
The Power of Three
Chapter 4: Lost and Found
"So, Einstein," Rika said, running next to Takato. "Where do you think you'll find him?"
"If that message is showing up on his D-Power, then it has to be a digimon that's causing it. If it was Yamaki, my guess is that all three of our d-powers would have picked it up." Takato paused and panted for breath.
"So how is this going to help us find him?" Asked Rika.
"Well, if I know Henry well enough, he'd probably wait for the digimon before the two of us could reach it, just to keep us out of trouble." Takato replied. "And where do you think has digimon appeared the most?"
"Of course! Shinjuku park!" Rika yelled. "I never thought I'd say this but, Takato, you're a genius!"
"Two compliments from you in one day? I'd say that's something for me to be proud of."
Rika smiled at him. "I guess it is."
At the Shinjuku park, Takato and Rika met up with Renamon and Guilmon. Rika guessed that Terriermon was still at Henry's apartment.
"No doubt he's being played with to death by Susie." Said Takato.
"Nevermind that, Takato." Rika said. "Let's look for Henry."
It wasn't easy looking around for Henry, especially when the park was so big. Renamon, being the fastest, bolted from tree to tree in order to get a view from high above. Just then, Calumon bounced his way over to the search party.
"Hey, hey!" Calumon shouted cheerfully. "What 'cha doin'?"
"We're looking for Henry." Guilmon replied in his same goofy voice. "Have you seen him?"
"Henry?" Calumon thought for a moment. "Ya! I did see him!"
"Really?" Renamon jumped down from the trees. "Where was he?"
"Oops, he told me not to tell you where he is!" Calumon said. "Silly me!"
"Nevermind, Pipsqueak, just tell us where he is!" Rika said, getting annoyed.
"Okay!" Calumon said, his ears suddenly bigger than before. "Follow me!" And with that, Calumon ran off.
The group ran after him, and it wasn't long before Calumon led them to a thicker part of the park. Careful not to tangle themselves, the group saw Calumon hop over to Henry, who was sitting and leaning against a tree. Jumping onto his lap, Calumon laughed and shouted "Hi!"
"Hi Calumon." Henry said. Then, he saw the group watching him. Henry turned back to the little white digimon and smiled. "I knew I shouldn't have let you run off."
"Henry! Have you been here the whole time?" Asked Takato. Henry nodded.
"What did you think you were doing!?" Rika yelled. "You got your entire family worried, and your sister wasn't happy by your disappearance from school!"
"You're sounding like my mom..." Henry sighed. "Takato, I'm guessing you read the message on my D-power."
"Ya, I did." Takato said. "What's up with that anyway?"
Henry looked like he was about to say the truth to the group, but then changed his mind and said, "I can't tell you."
"Why not?" Guilmon asked, tilting his head.
"Because... because I just can't."
"Great." Rika said. "Just great! We spend so much time looking for you and all we get is the same answer!?"
"I'm sorry, Rika, but I'm not going to say anything about it!" For the first time, Henry was yelling back at Rika. To everyone surprise, Rika raised her hand and struck Henry across the face.
"I hate it when people don't tell me something I should know!" Rika screamed. Takato had to grab Rika's hand to keep her from hitting him again.
"Rika, we know Henry has a good reason to keep quiet!" Takato yelled. "We - know - something - is - stopping - him! Have you already forgotten???" Rika looked at Takato, then Henry, then the digimon. She put her hand down.
"You're right." Rika said. "I'm sorry, Henry."
"It's ok." Henry replied, putting his hand on the red mark on his cheek. "So did you come up with that theory about me, or did Takato?" Rika pointed at Takato. "That's a surprise."
"Why does everyone think I'm not capable of thinking up something smart?" Takato whined.
"Because you normally aren't." Said Renamon calmly. "But then again, you're not normal."
"Hey!" Takato said. "Anyway, the truth is, Henry, your dad asked us to look for you. They're really concerned. Do you think you can...?"
"I'm not going home." Henry said directly.
"Why not? You family wants you home." Said Guilmon.
"I can't, not yet." said Henry. "I'm staying out here."
"Even if you're waiting for whatever is watching you to come, you can't until you have more energy." Takato said. "You haven't eaten for two days, and you haven't slept for two nights either. Your dad told us."
Henry sighed. "I know I haven't. I was just... well... afraid."
"Why?" Rika asked.
"Will you stop asking me why? You already know I can't tell you."
"At least rest." Rika said, trying to sound a little more caring. "You don't have to be afraid if we're with you."
Henry looked at the kind faces of his friends and the digimon, and finally said, "All right. But only for a little while. And if I look like I'm scared out of my wits, wake me up." In a few short minutes, Henry fell asleep with Calumon still sitting on his lap. Calumon had fallen asleep too.
Takato and Rika both sat down across from Henry. Guilmon had fallen asleep and Renamon had disappeared off again. Rika pulled out her cell phone and handed it to Takato. "You better tell Henry's dad that we found him. And ask him to cover for us in case we have to stay here over night to watch him. I have a feeling Henry will be asleep for quite a while." Takato nodded.
Henry's dad didn't take the news too hard, but rather agreed that perhaps it was best Henry got some time to himself. After talking with Mr. Wong for a bit longer, Takato hung up and said, "He's going to tell your family and mine that we're going to be over at a friend's house. Man, Henry's lucky that he has such an understanding dad. My parents would have freaked if I did this..."
Rika nodded understandingly and scooted next to Takato. "My family would have freaked out too. I guess they're just concerned for us." Rika placed her head on Takato shoulder and closed her eyes. "You know what, goggle head? I'm concerned for you too." Takato blushed.
"So am I." He said.
Rika and Takato sat there for several hours, but to them it was only a few minutes.
"Rika, it's getting late, why don't you head home with Renamon?" Takato said, staring up at the stars.
"And leave you alone here? I think not." Rika said. Not if you're the one for me. She thought.
"Rika? I l-" Takato tried say, but noticed that Rika had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.
I never noticed this before. Takato thought. She looks really cute when she's not trying to act tough. I'll say it another time. It's too soon, but I'll say it sooner or later.
Takato tilted his head a bit more towards her and he fell asleep as well. Across from the two young tamers, Henry slightly opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile at what he thinks will be the start of something new for both of them.
