Print My Heart Chapter Two- Computer Virus?
Written by Wa Edited and Revised by: Ai
Rika woke up the next day, still in the digital world, still in the Ghost Castle. She looked out to the window, even the sunlight in the digital world was not bright. She sat up on her bed and saw Ryo come in the doorway.
"Rise and shine my Queen." Ryo said with cheers on his bright smiley face. Rika stared at him a bit and looked down.
Why do I have to be stuck with him right now, in the digital world?
She stared at him more as he came close to the window beside her and opened it.
So what's if he is the Legendary Tamer, so what if he knows more about the digital world then me? The main point is that he doesn't even know the way out here.
"You can be more healthy if you open the window and let the wind blow in! Hah! How refreshing this is." Ryo exclaimed, enjoying the weather today, as the cool wind blew through his hair.
"This is the digital world Legendary Tamer, the wind you are feeling is not real. This digital world is a computer program! It is created by human." Rika said, but inside she admitted that the fresh wind sure felt cool.
"Wow, Rika, try to calm down!" Ryo said, with an uneasy look on his face.
And what's with that expression? Thinking that I'm going to hit him or something?
"How can I calm down like this? We are trapped in the digital world! But no one knows, and we can't contact the real world!" Rika shouted, losing her temper in the morning.
"I'm sorry...." Ryo can't find another word to say, or he doesn't want her to be angry again.
"Just don't talk to me!" Rika said and she left the room. Ryo didn't stop her, knowing the fact that she probably wouldn't listen to him anyway or he would get her mad again.
She walked out the door. Ryo sat down at the bed.
I've tried so hard to not get her mad at me, oh man, but I did it again. What does she expect me to do? Must think of another way to talk to her next time..... Ryo thought.
The next day, Ryo lead Rika to search in the real world. Rika walked behind him, as she remembered that this is the place where Ryo and she met in the digital world... it was the first time they met after the card tournament. And after that she got angry at Ryo because of Kazu so she went her way with Renamon.
Renamon. She thought.
"This is such a memorable place, Rika." Ryo looked at the clock. The clock that would let Megadramon out if you fix it.
Rika was surprise that he still remembered by looking at him. He gave her a big delighted smile as she looked away and blushed.
"Rika, I........." Ryo started.
However, suddenly the ground shook, and the land was split into two again just as last time it did. And Megadramon flew out.
"But I didn't..." Rika stares at it.
Ryo told me that only if you fix the clock it will escape....?
"Oh no! Rika what are you still staring at, run!" Ryo grabbed Rika on her wrist, pulled her and ran. The first time that Rika had really feel how strong his strength was.
They hid in a cave. Hopefully, Megadramon didn't spot their existence because they were too tiny for him to see when he flew out the ground.
Ryo sigh for relief. They peak out to the cave to see Megadramon. His size became bigger then they last see him. And the colour of his skin became different too. They wondered what happened to Megadramon.
"What's with Megadramon?" Rika said.
"I don't know, but he is similar to the digimon that grabbed you, on the night where we were in the park." Ryo said still peaking outside.
"Digimon?" Rika questioned him.
"Yeah, don't you remember? It's a dragon digimon that grabbed you. And I jumped and help." Ryo was still scanning for Megadramon.
"Then where is the dragon digimon now?" Rika asked in confusion.
"Oh I get rid of him already." Ryo said finally turning to face her now.
"You get......" Rika was talking but interrupted by Ryo.
"We probably have to still in the cave for tonight because Megadramon is not leaving. He is examining the area right now. I think he can smell humans." Ryo said.
Rika looked at him.
Why didn't he tell me before? Why isn't he asking for my gratitude?
Rika was wake by a sound of Ryo moving on the ground. She open her eyes slowly, Ryo was sleeping a cross from her. Perspiration was on his face and it was as if he was struggling from a nightmare. And he seem to be in pain. Then Rika immediately spotted the bandage on Ryo's left arm.
It is the wound from after the fight with the dragon digimon that he is talking about. And he jumped in the digital world just to save me..... I won't pay him or anything.
Rika wiped away the perspiration on Ryo face and she went back to sleep again herself.
It was in the early morning that she was waked up again. This time she saw Ryo standing at the entrance of the cave where the light is coming from. He was supporting himself with his hand against the wall.
"Ryo...?" Rika said gently.
But Ryo's figure sort of got scared and ran out of the cave.
"Ryo!" Rika suddenly sat up as she realized that Ryo run out of the cave.
Didn't he say that it was dangerous to go out there?
It was until the end of afternoon that Ryo returns to the cave. Rika looked at him, and saw some more bruises on his hand.
"Where did you go?"
"I was just going outside to see where Megadramon is going." Ryo said with uneasiness again.
"Why didn't you wake me up and let me go with you? Do you think that I'm scare of Megadramon?" Rika said angrily, she hated that feeling of getting left behind.
"No I didn't mean that, it was just dangerous out there." Ryo explained.
"So you think that I'm not as good as you? And I would just slow you down?" Rika said.
"No Rika! I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. I didn't think that you are weaker than me. But I just don't you to get hurt." Ryo said.
"So you think that I'm a burden of yours? I can't take care of myself? Well I can show you that I am not!" Rika was starting to leave the cave right now.
"No Rika is dangerous out there!" Ryo said with pain in his voice this time. The real pain.
"Ah...." Ryo was now kneeling down holding his wounded left arm.
"Ryo...?" Rika turned and looked at him.
"I thought it stopped already....." Ryo said to himself.
"What stop?" Rika asked.
"..........." Ryo didn't answer and just held his arm tightly.
"You are hiding something from me Ryo..." Rika said as her voice shook a little.
"It was nothing." Ryo said, closing his eyes.
"Stop lying. Just tell me what happened?" Rika shouted at him.
Then a silence came between the two. Ryo slowly sat down and started.
"The virus........." Ryo close his eyes again.
"What virus?" Rika stared at Ryo with disbelief in her eyes.
"The new virus that I got from the dragon digimon." Ryo said.
