Leeki! Frealz everyone! Look at the reviews…like 90% of the reviews were hinting towards Leeki. Sorry to all you Rukato fans out there but just because this is a Leeki fic doesn't mean you can't read it. You might catch a few ideas for a fic of your own.

"Takato!"

"Rika! Sorry, I didn't see you," said Takato.

"What are you doing here?" she asked suspiciously.

"Oh…umm…you forgot one of your cards," he said giving her a hyper speed card.

"Uhh….ok. Thanks," she said grabbing her card. She started to walk home.

"Wait! Rika!" Takato stopped her. She turned around.

"What is it?" she asked kind of agitated.

"I was wondering if you wanted to do something tomorrow. You know, we could do whatever," he said shyly.

"What? Look gogglehead, if you're trying to ask me out on a date, I'm not interested." She started to walk off again.

"Wait! I don't mean a date. I meant…lessons! Like you could help me out on my card skills," he said trying to save himself from total embarrassment.

"Now why would I waste my time helping you?" she asked as she crossed her arms.

"Well, I don't know. I just want to hang out, that's all."

"Why?"

"Umm…well I kind of think you're…" he began.

"Hot?" she finished.

"Well…"

"Yeah, I get that a lot. And frankly, I don't care. Goodbye gogglehead," she said as she walked off.

"Shoot…" Takato thought to himself. "Now what do I do? Great way to tell her that you like her," he said to himself as he was left there, alone.

**Back to Rika**

"What a total worm! Trying to flatter me by saying I'm hot. That guy has no idea how to impress a girl like me," she thought as she walked home. "Now Henry…he's someone I could dream about all day. Wait?! Did I just say that? He's not that special. Still…"

**Henry's Turn**

"So Henry," said Terriermon on top of Henry's head.

"Yeah?" he asked as he was walking home.

"You made a new friend?"

"I think so," he said as he stopped walking all of the sudden and looked up into the sky.

"Wha- Whaaaaaaaaaa!" shouted Terriermon as he fell off Henry's head. "What'd you do that for!?!?"

Henry didn't hear him. He was in deep thought about Rika.

"Rika…" he said to himself.

**Next Day in School**

"Now can anyone solve this equation?" asked Takato's math teacher. No one raised their hand. "Well, I guess I'll have to volunteer someone then. "Takato?"

"Huh? Me?" said Takato as he snapped out of his day dreaming.

"Is there any other Takato in this class?" she asked sarcastically.

"Uhh…sorry," he said as the class giggled.

"Takato, may I see you after class?" asked his teacher.

"Great…now I'm going to be late for lunch…" thought Takato.

**Lunch with Rika**

"Oh…where's Henry???" she thought to herself. "Wait, why should I care? If he doesn't want to show up, it's his problem…………………………………………Where is he?!?" Rika continued to look around the cafeteria, ignoring the boys glancing at her every once in a while. "If he stood me up, I'm going to-"

"Hey Rika," said a familiar voice behind her. Without turning around, she got irritated.

"Look gogglehead, this isn't such a good time right now, ok?"

"Oh come on Rika. I want to show you something," he said grabbing Rika's hand and pulling her to follow him.

"Hey?! Stop pulling meee-whoa!" she yelled as Takato continued to pull her away from the table.

**One or Two Minutes Later**

Henry walks out of the lunch line with his tray of food.

"Man, that lunch line never gets shorter. Although it is the second day of school…hmm…where's Rika? She said she'd meet me here. Her backpack and stuff are all here. Maybe she went to the bathroom. I'll just wait for her here."

**Takato Steals the Spotlight for a Second**

"Where do you think you're taking me?!" shouted Rika as Takato dragged her outside. When they got to the playground, near the forests, he let go of her.

"What's your problem, gogglehead?!!?!" she yelled.

"Sorry, but I wanted to show you something."

"I don't care. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got better things to do," she said as she started to walk away.

"Wait! This'll prove that I'm somebody special…Guilmon!!!" he called out.

"What?" she asked.

"Come out boy!" he called out again. Out of the bushes, a red dinosaur-like Digimon jumps out.

"Takato!" shouts the Digimon.

"It's a Digimon…" said Rika to herself.

"Meet Guilmon," introduced Takato to Rika.

"Guilmon?" she asks.

"See Rika, if I was a nobody, I wouldn't of been chosen to be a tamer."

"Fine…meet me after school in the park. I want to umm…hang out with you," she said.

"Really?? I mean…of course you do, now that you finally know a tamer, I understand," he said boastfully.

"Oh give me a break," she thought to herself. "This guy's full of himself."

"Well, I'll see you later," she said to him as she walked off to the cafeteria.

"She totally digs me," Takato said smoothly to himself as he put his hands on the back of his head.

"Oh? What's that, Takato?" Guilmon asked. Takato looked at him with a surprised look.

"Huh? Oh, never mind Guilmon…" he said.

"Okie."

**Henry Waits**

"I guess she wanted to ditch me…" Henry thought to himself. "This kind of hurts…"

He hadn't touched his food because he wanted to eat with Rika, but she had been gone for about 4/5 of the lunch period. The food had gotten cold by now. "I shouldn't be surprised," he thought again, "After all, she does seem to have some tough problems to deal out. Sigh…" He got up with his cold lunch and was about to throw it out when…

"Henry!" came a warm voice. He turned around and saw Rika running towards him. His face brightened up with a smile. "Sorry for being so late," she said trying to catch her breath.

"It's ok. At least you came," he said walking her back to the lunch table. They sat down. "I was beginning to think you forgot about me."

"Yeah well, I had to talk to someone," she said.

"I see, well let's just eat," he said taking a bite out of his hamburger.

**School Day Ends**

Rika was just packing her stuff into her backpack when Takato stopped by.

"Hey Rika!" he said.

"Huh? Oh, hey gogglehead…" she said as she continued to pack her stuff.

"Tough day?" he asked.

"I don't know," she said not bothering to look at him. Takato got frustrated so he tried again to get her attention.

"So, we still up for the park," he asked.

"Umm…yeah, just let me get my stuff."

"Great! I'll walk you there."

"Fine," she said like she didn't care. Takato had a big grin on his face but Rika didn't notice. Just then, Henry came up to Rika.

"Hey Rika," he said calmly. She perked her head up as she turned her head around.

"Hey Henry," she said happily. Takato began to turn red with jealousy.

"You want to do something today?" he asked with his hands in his pockets.

"I'd lo-…" she looked at Takato. "Oh…sorry. I have to do something today with this guy," she said referring to Takato.

"That's right," he said proudly.

"Oh…well I guess we could maybe do something tomorrow," he said.

"Sure," she agreed.

"Well I'll see you later then. Bye Rika, bye…"

"Takato," Takato said.

"Right, later Takato," he said as he began to walk away.

"Bye Henry," waved Rika. After Henry was gone from sight, Rika began to continue pack her backpack.

"Who the heck was that kid?" Takato asked with a tone of disgust.

"A friend," she said.

"A b-boy f-friend?" he asked nervously.

"What? No!" she said kind of offensively.

"Great!" he said under his breath.

"What?" she asked.

"No, nothing I mean…" he said.

**At the Park**

"So where's that Digimon?" she asked.

"Oh, Guilmon?"

"Whatever."

"Guilmon!!!" he called out. Just then, a head popped out of the bushes.

"Hi Takato! Hi Takato's friend!" he said happily as he jumped out of the bushes and came to Takato.

"So…what did you want to do?" asked Takato.

"Battle," she said.

"What?"

"You heard me. Renamon!" Renamon teleports right next to Rika.

"Yes?"
"We're having another battle," she said.

"Another tamed Digimon again?" Renamon asked.

"Huh? You're a tamer!? What do you mean another tamed Digimon? There's more tamers around here?" he asked full of curiosity.

"Stop asking questions and lets fight!" he yelled. "Renamon! Go get him."

"Yes Rika," said Renamon as she jumped toward Guilmon and knocks him back.

"Guilmon!" screamed Takato as he watched his friend get knocked into the tree. "Are you alright?"

"Five more minutes," said the dizzy Digimon. Then he shook his head and went back to reality. "I'm fine."

"Good, now lets get them! Guilmon! Pyrosphere!"

"Pyrosphere!" attacked Guilmon.

"Renamon, dodge it," said Rika. Renamon jumped and dodged the attack.

"Diamond storm!"

"Not without this!" said Rika.

Digimodify Scene

"Digimodify! Power Chip activate!"

The diamond storm gets stronger and fires right at Guilmon.

"Guilmon!"

Digimodify Scene

"Digimodify! Hyper Speed activate!"

Guilmon dodges the attack and rams right into Renamon. Renamon falls down. Guilmon jumps on her and bites her right in the arm. Renamon screams in pain.

"Pyrosphere," said Guilmon in a muffled voice. He fires right into Renamon's arm. She gets blown back.

"Renamon! Renamon………huh?" she takes out a card and it starts to glow. "The card Henry gave me…Let's try it out."

Digimodify Scene

"Digimodify! Digivolution activate!"

Digivolution Scene

"Digivolution."

"Renamon, digivolve to!"

"Kyubimon!"

"Who's that!?" said Takato as he takes out his Digivice.

"Whoa…" Rika said to herself.

"Kyubimon, champion level. This beautiful fox may look graceful but watch out for her fierce Dragon Wheel and Fox Tail Inferno attack!"

"Dragon Wheel!" shouts Kyubimon as she spins and a flame arises. She flies right through Guilmon, knocking him unconscious.

"Guilmon!" screams Takato as he runs up to his partner.

"Kyubimon, that's enough."

**After the Battle on a Bench**

"You're really strong!" said Takato. "How did you get Kyubimon to digivolve like that?"

"I have my ways," she said.

"Are you sure you don't want to help me with my skills? I mean, we are the only ones with our own Digimon, right?"

"………"

"So will you?"

"I don't think so. Go work on your own," she said as she got up.

"Wait!" he said as he stood up too. "Thanks for the battle. I think it actually helped Guilmon out.

"Whatever, I should go now," she said as she began to walk towards home.

"One more thing," he said as he pulled her back.

"What?" she asked.

"This," he said as he kissed her.

Whoa! How's Henry gonna take this if he finds out? Worse, how's Rika gonna take this? Well even though the couple is decided, you should still review and tell me if you want me to continue this story. Because you know, I might not feel like writing the next chapter if people don't care. So review and hoped you liked this chapter. Till then…
