Disclaimer: People…people…GET OVER IT!!!

Author's Note: Where were we? Oh yeah, thanks for the reviews and what's Takato planning to do? Well, find out by reading. (FYI – Contains some sexual scenes)

"This time…I'll get Henry good…"

**After School**

Henry was at Rika's locker waiting for her to pack so they could go to her house.

"There, well lets go," said Rika as she took her backpack and walked along the hallway with Henry.

"Umm…Rika?" asked Henry.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"I've been meaning to ask you…" he began.

"What is it?" she asked hoping he'd ask her out.

"Oh, it's nothing…" he said.

"Oh…ok…" she said a little depressed.

"Damn…I chickened out again!" he punched himself mentally. "Okay that's it, I'm going for it!"

"Rika?" he asked again.

"Yes?"

"It wasn't nothing. I really have to ask you something."

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Well…I was possibly wondering if you'd lik-" started Henry who got cut off.

"Rika!" shouted Takato from the end of the hallway.

"Dammit," thought Henry.

"I'm busy, gogglehead!" she said angrily.

"Rika, just one minute. ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!" he shouted. Everyone who was around looked at him.

Takato said loudly, "Rika, I'm sorry about what happened. I know I've been a stuck up jerk over the past few days…but it's only because I love you. And I guess I've been a little jealous of Henry since you two are such good friends. I know you probably don't realize this but you are the light of my life, and I'd do anything for you. So with this ring…" he said as he popped out a beautiful ring made of silver, "I'm asking you if you'd like to go out with me." Everyone looked in shock including Rika and Henry who just stared at Takato. Everyone was commenting.

"That's so sweet, go out with him," said one girl.

"Yeah, he's soooo perfect," said another.

"Come on. Even you can't be so blind as to seeing he isn't Mr. Right," said one more.

Everyone waited for Rika's answer.

"Uhh…" thought Rika. "What do I do? Looks like Henry's never going to ask me out. And all these people would think I'm an insensitive worm if I said no."

"I…" she began.

"Wait? Since when did I care about what other people thought??? I know he's just trying to make himself look good and trying to make me feel guilty. I know Henry's the right one for me." She began to smile as she turned her head toward Henry who was looking right at her, concerned and worried. She held his hand, as Henry looked surprised.

"Sorry gogglehead, but there's someone else I have in mind," she said. "Henry, what were you about to ask me?" she said loudly.

"…" he was dumbfounded for a couple of seconds but soon a smile crept up his face.

"Rika my dear, you're the angel who looks over me day and night. You help me through any challenge I may go through. Without you, I don't think I'd be ever to like any other as much. Anytime I'm with you, I feel like nothing could make me down. You're smiles are what keep me going. So I'm asking you, from the deepest of my heart…Rika Nonaka, will you go out with me?" he asked. Everyone stayed silent including Takato.

"I won't go out with you," she said. Everyone looked in shock except for Takato who looked excited to hear that.

"Oh…" Henry said sadly.

"I'd love to go out with you!" she said as she came up to him and kissed him right on the lips. Taken back at first, but soon Henry began to kiss back as they shared a joyful occasion. Everyone cheered and some even cried with joy for the happy couple. Takato on the other hand, just stood there trying to soak everything in. He slowly walked away from the crowd as everyone cheered. It was possibly one of the most romantic times in their lives that they would share.

**A Week Later**

It's been a week since the occasion and both Rika and Henry were as happy as ever. Takato on the other hand didn't Rika but that one moment where he was romantic attracted a lot of girls toward him. He too was now dating a shy, pretty girl named Jeri. Life couldn't be any better for both Henry and Rika except one little problem…their parents.

"So Rika…are we going to tell you mom and grandma first or my mom and dad?" asked Henry as they walked in the park holding hands.

"I…don't know.." she replied as she laid her head upon his shoulders.

"Well, lets not think about that right now," he said as swept her off her feet and carried her in his arms.

"Whoa!" she said startled as she held on around his neck.

Henry smiled at her as he carried her to the nearest bench and sat down still holding her.

"So…why is it that I'm going through all this trouble for you?" asked Henry jokingly.

"Umm…because you like me?" she replied simply.

"Hmm…good point," he said smiling.

"Sigh…" Rika said as she nuzzled into Henry's chest.

After some time, they finally stood up and walked to Henry's house.

"So I guess I'll tell my dad first," he said giving Rika a peck on the lips as they walked into Henry's house.

"Hi dad, I'm home!" Henry shouted.

There wasn't any answer.

"Hello?! Anyone home!?" Henry called out. "I guess they're not here. What a coincidence."

"So what are we going to do now?" asked Rika.

"Well I have an idea," said Henry seductively as he grinned at Rika and grabbed her. Then he threw her on his bed.

"Henry! We shouldn't…" she said innocently.

Henry went on the bed too and started kissing her passionately.

"Mmmm…" moaned Rika as she let Henry's hands do some wandering.

Henry's hand slowly moved down Rika's body sliding down her stomach do her soft butt. He grabbed it and squeezed it slightly letting Rika give out a louder moan. Now acting on instincts, Henry slowly slid his hands under Rika's light shirt as he rubbed her stomach a little before moving higher up. He slid his hands under her bra and started to fondle her breasts as she gave a heavy shiver. He soon started to squeeze her nipples. Rika slid her tongue in Henry's mouth and they began making out fiercely. As they made out, Rika unbuckled Henry's pants and slid them off as Henry did the same to her. Rika's fingers soon felt the hard bump in Henry's boxers and she slid her hands down his boxers. She started to jack off Henry, rubbing his long shaft, which caused him to groan. Henry's fingers soon rubbed against Rika's panties causing her to get wet. Then he slid his fingers under and inserted three fingers in Rika's pussy as he rubbed against her clit. Henry soon cummed over Rika's hand as Rika cummed over Henry's hand. They both sighed heavily as put their pants back on. They washed off the cum on their hands and smiled at each other.

"Wow…that was pretty great…" Henry said to Rika.

"Yeah…we should do it again some time," she said smirking.

Henry gave a lighthearted laugh as they both heard the door open.

"Hi Henry," said his dad as he saw Rika there too.

"Oh? Whom do we have here?" he asked.

"Uhh…yeah. Well dad? I have to tell you something…" he began.

"I can already tell what you are going to say Henry and I approve of it."

"Really?" asked Henry, surprised yet grateful at the same time.

"Yes, umm…what's her name?" he asked.

"Oh! This is Rika," he answered.

"I see, well Rika seems like a nice girl. So I hope things between you two work out," he said.

"…th-thank you, sir," she said shyly as she bowed.

"No need, just take care of my boy, alright?"

She smiled and nodded.

"I will."

"Thanks for the approval dad. Well, we're going to the park. I'll be home by dinner," he said about to leave.

"Hold on one minute there," he said as he asked Rika to go on ahead.

"What is it dad?" Henry asked.

"I know this sounds rather unusual coming from me but…" he started as he took out a ring from his drawer.

"I want you to give this to her after 100 days, if you two can stay together that long," he said.

"Don't worry dad, I will. Oh and thanks for the ring," he said as he left the house.

Henry's dad just stood next to the doorway, looking at his little boy slowly maturing before his eyes.

"That son of mine is going to make me real proud one day," he said smiling as he went in the house shutting the door behind him.

**At Rika's House**

"Boy, I hope things go as smoothly with your mom as they did with my dad," Henry said.

"Don't worry, knowing my mom, she'll probably try getting us married or something," she said jokingly.

"Let's hope," he said as they went into her house.

"Rika, is that you?" asked her grandma.

"Yeah, is mom home?" asked Rika.

"Yes, she's in her room. Oh, she wanted to talk to you about something."

"Uhh…okay," answered Rika as she walked off toward her mom's room.

Rika slowly opened the door as her mom, startled at first, let her in.

"Oh Rika! Hi there sweetie. Come on in."

"…hey mom, I wanted to tell yo-" she as she was interrupted.

"I wanted to talk to you about something. Sit," she said as Rika sat next to her.

"You're getting older now and it's a time when people start showing interest in each other. And I was thinking that it was about time you brought a man in the house. It's been a while since I've seen a boy your age around here," said standing up and going to her closet. "And further more, if you dress right, you might make a couple more heads turn, if you know what I mean," she said giggling a little.

"Uhh…" Rika began.

"Yes, so what did you want to tell me?" she asked.

"Umm…Henry, come in," she said as she waved him in.

Henry slowly walked in and appeared right in front of Rika's mom.

"Umm…hello," greeted Henry as he bowed.

"Oh, hello there," said a very surprised mother.

"Mom, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Henry," introduced Rika.

"Henry huh? Well what a very handsome guy we have here," she said smiling.

"Oh, thank you," he said very shyly.

"Yeah, so I just wanted to tell you," said Rika as she started to leave.

"I'm so proud of you~" said Rika's mom.

"Thanks, bye mom," she said as she closed the door.

**Outside Rika's House**

"Well…that went rather well," said Henry.

"Yup, told you it would," said in a happy mood.

Rika then noticed Henry looking deeply into her eyes. It was getting dark and Henry's eyes reflected the moonlight.

"Oh? What's wrong?" she asked.

"Rika…" he began.

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"Oh…I-I love you too, Henry," she said as she fell into his deep, gray eyes.

Their eyes locked on to each other as they embraced passionately right in front of Rika's house. It seemed as if the night would never end.

**The Next Day**

Rika was on her way to Henry's house. Last night was one of the most romantic times she had shared with Henry, possibly more romantic then last week. She smiled at the thought of Henry. She wondered how someone like Henry could love her. It also wondered how much she had changed from being with Henry. It seemed as if her whole life had turned upside down. From Dark to light and cold to warm. Warm with the love Henry gave her. Just then, she saw Takato crying on a bench.

"Gogglehead? What's wrong with him?" she asked herself. "Oh well, better leave. No-…No I can't. Henry wouldn't so I won't either."

She walked over to Takato.

"Uhh…Takato, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Jeri broke up with me," he said between his sobs.

"Oh…what happened?" she asked.

"She said I wasn't good enough for her, sob sob," he whimpered.

"Oh…that's not true. Sure you're a dork sometimes but you can also be real romantic. I mean if I hadn't met Henry, I'd probably be with you," she lied.

"Really, sniff?" he asked.

"Really," she said.

"Then can I have a peck?" he asked still sniffling a little.

"What? I don't know…" she said.

"Please, just so I can know that I'm worth something."

"I-I guess…" she said doubting herself.

She leaned forward and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Not there, here," he said pointing to his lips.

"I can't…" she said.

"Sniff…please?" he said about to cry again.

"Oh all right," she said not wanting him to cry.

She leaned forward and as she kissed him, Takato suddenly pulled her in and put his tongue in her mouth.

Rika tried to pull back but was knocked unconscious when Takato hit her in the head with a wrench he had hidden in his pocket.

"If you won't be mine, I'll just have to force you…"
