Don't Leave Me Hello peoples! I'm back with my first season 03 fic! And I have decided that after watching some of the episodes, that Rukato rules! :) Don't Leave Me A dark mist formed around the nonexistant shape of IceDevimon.
*Hello, IceDevimon.*
Whirling around, it was all black. The voice came again.
*You want revenge on the girl, don't you.* It chuckled. *Well, I'll give you one, and only one chance to kill the girl. You'll know when your time is up.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little tomboy."
"Hey, I bet she doesn't even have a date for the dance!"
"Yeah, she never shows up with a boy. She doesn't even show up most of the time!"
"No boy would ever look at her. I bet she doesn't even have any friends!"
Now that got Rika furious. Angrily she replied,"Of course I have friends!"
Diane, the ringleader, sneered and said,"Oh yeah? Well name them!"
"..."
Diane smiled triumphantly and said,"See? I told you so. Of course Tomboy doesn't have any friends! She's too ugly and mean."

*sigh* Oh well, just another school day. Rika wondered though, who were her friends? Fat lot of help that did to her. She failed 3 quizs thinking about who her friends were. Not any digimon. She hated all of them, except maybe Renamon, but she wasn't her digimon anymore. Renamon probably hated her now. Most human's were weak. Maybe she could befriend Takato though... What?! She couldn't think of Takato! Besides, he was one of the cutest boys in her grade and probably wouldn't even look at her. *I hate him*she told her self.*What with all that digimon are friends and partners thing.*

Author's note:I know these aren't the exact words, but this episode just premiered yesterday and since I'm not a genius, I don't know all the words. In the future, I will try to get the right words. :)
*Who are you?*
*I have come to look for you.*
*Why?*
*You and I were meant for each other, you shall be my tamer and make me stronger!*
*But I already have a digimon.*
*Oh, you mean that pathetic thing you call a digimon? I can offer you much more than that*
*But Renamon is...*
*Don't tell me you're considering Renamon a friend?*
Friend...
Friend...
Is Renamon my friend??
No, she probably hates me now...
Diane's right, I don't have any friends...
But I need one... Right now...
*I hate all Digimon!*
*Fine then!*
*Go away!*
Oh no... Another Digimon... I thought we destroyed IceDevimon... Here he comes...
*Apparently since you do not appear to like Digimon, I'll just have to destroy you!*
She felt the claws coming down... Ripping her apart...

Rika screamed, but no sound came out. It was killing her, no.

She woke up. Thank god it was only a nightmare. Rika looked at the clock. 4:00, oh great. She thought about the events that happened during the day. Quietly, she shifted out of her futon, got dressed in her casual attire, and walked to the park. Someone else stared at her. *My reflection* Rika thought. *Do I have any friends? I guess not. They're right. I am really mean.* A broken heart shimmered on the reflection of her shirt. *I'm just a broken heart.*

An icy hand touched her shoulder. Rika jerked and turned around. Oh no... Wasn't IceDevimon supposed to be dead? A psychic thought answered that question.

*I came so you could train me. But you decided to kill me instead. Now, I shall have my revenge one last time!*

Rika screamed as those claws came down, just like in her dream. No, no, this can't be happening! Somehow, her legs decided to save themselves and while her brain froze, they whisked her down the road and and away from the devil. A while later, she came to a stop in front of a door of an apartment. Rika looked at the number. *Takato's place?* She thought? Oh well, she didn't want to be hurt again. Gasping, she thought she saw a glimpse of a white monster. Quickly, she rang the doorbell. IceDevimon's chance for revenge was gone as soon as Rika rang the doorbell. He vanished, once and for all, to be born at the village as a baby digimon again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Takato jumped when the doorbell rang. He had woken up very early in the morning, and had been thinking of how to ask a certain someone out. A certain someone named Rika. Fat chance of that though. Rika didn't appreciate anyone, and right after the battle with IceDevimon she had declared that she hated all digimon. When the doorbell rang, for a fleeting moment he thought it might be her, but then his hopes fell again. What would Rika be doing, visiting him at 4:30 in the morning? And it couldn't be his mom because she wasn't coming home 'till 6:30. His father was in France, so who could it be? Opening the door, his mouth fell open. Rika was standing there, pale and trembling, her eyes glistening with tears. Her left shoulder had a nasty gash in it, as if some one had raked her with very long claws. Takato's mouth worked like a fish for a couple moments, and finally he squeezed out,"Rika, what happened?" Takato expected Rika to come back with a smart remark, but what she said surprised him a lot.

"Takato, I'm scared. Please help me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rika staggered through the doorway and fell. Takato, his heart leaping for joy and his mind dreaming, locked the door. After laying Rika on the couch he went to the telephone and called his mom on her cellphone, not knowing what else to do.

"Hello, Mom?"
"Oh hi honey, what's up?"
"Ummm... thisgirlnamedRika'sinourapartmentandherleftarm'salltornupandIdon'tknowwhattodo!"
"Okay, then, I'll be right over!" Takato's mom said. She suspected that either Takato liked this girl a lot, he was really panicked because she had a gash on her arm, or both. Knowing her son, Takato's mom had learned to understand him when he got panicked. She left early, saying it was an emergency, and drove straight home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Takato was pacing the room as his mom applied bandages to Rika's arm. He had just called Rika's family, and her grandmother had said thank you and asked if Rika could stay at his house for tonight because her mother wasn't home. Takato had asked his mom and ended up replying with a yes, wondering if this was all just a very, very good dream.

At last, his mom came into the tiny kitchen, and said,"Your friend's better now, you can go see her, but she's sleeping right now.

Cautiously, taking utmost care not to disturb Rika, Takato tiptoed into the room and sat on the couch, holding Rika's head in his lap. Quietly, he said,"Rika, you mean the world to me and even if you don't like people, I just want you to know that I'll always be there for you. Rika shifted to her right and he hoped she hadn't woken up when he said that, because he didn't want to be embaressed. To his surprise, Rika murmured,"Don't leave me 'Kato, ever." Smiling, Takato whispered,"That much, Rika, I can promise."

Well, how'd ya like it? Just warning you, I have A LOT of revising to do, so I'm gonna have lots of different changes eventually. Also, I might add another chapter or leave it as one chapter. It's all up to you! Plz tell me in your reviews!(That is, if you do review.)
