Chapter one

Ryo's Depression



"No! I will not!" Shouted the green eyed girl with long brown hair as tears filled her eyes.

"Terri, please just do what I tell you. I don't want you to get hurt or confused." The boy's blue eyes filled with tears as well.

"Ryo…You can't go by your self, you need my help, my support, my love most of all. I don't know what I'd do with out you…"

Terri looked down at her white high heeled boots as tears dropped onto the dirt beneath her, "The last thing I want right now is more fighting."

"I'll be ok…don't worry about me; I'll send you an email when I get there. Tai and Ken will take care of you."

Terri nodded slowly; she walked up to him soothing Ryo's spiked light brown hair. She looked into his big blue eyes and smiled. She kissed him lovingly. Terri started to cry and pulled away but Ryo held her by the arm, "I'm sorry…" He muttered to her sadly, Terri shook her head slowly. "Just go Ryo. Don't make this harder than it already is."

Ryo nodded sadly and stretched out his arm making colorful swirls and turning it into a portal. Ryo looked at her smiling a little, "Bye. I love you."

He jumped into the portal as it disappeared into thin air…

A year later…

"Takato, where did you go?" asked Guillmon as he searched through the woods. He was a red dinosaur like digimon with the cutest voice you've ever heard. He and Takato (His human partner) were playing a little game of hide and seek. Takato was hiding behind a tree snickering to his self as he watched Guillmon look around clueless.

"Takato?" A voice disturbed his short giggles every time Guillmon got closer and turned away. He looked from where he was sitting and saw Ryo standing right in front of him.

He was looking at him awkwardly, "Um, Takato what are you doing?"

"Shh!" Takato demanded as he pulled Ryo to his side, "I'm playing hide and seek with Guillmon." He whispered to him grinning.

Ryo rolled his eyes, but then he remembered something he didn't want to remember because it hurts too much to think about. He looked away from Takato into the wood and saw a girl about his age with long brown hair and green eyes. He watched her as she grinned at him, "Try and get me!" She giggled and ran off into the woods. Ryo was about to go after her but realized she disappeared. He stayed in his spot looking towards the tall big trees. "Ryo?"

Ryo shook his head and looked at Takato, "Huh? What?"

He realized Guillmon standing beside him, "Oh he found you already?" Ryo grinned.

"Nah, I didn't find him, I heard him giggling behind a tree." Guillmon said cutely.

Ryo shook his head and grinned at them, "Laughing always brings trouble, especially when it comes from you Takato."

Takato ignored that remark, "Hey, Ryo what were you thinking about a second ago. It's like you were in your own world." Takato asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just remembering the old times between me and my-err-friend"

"Friend eh? Is she your girlfriend?" Takato made little kissing sounds with his mouth as Guillmon laughed by his side.

"Hey! Quit it!" Ryo shouted angrily, "Don't joke about that!"

Takato looked at him wide eyed, "Sorry Ryo I was just joking you know…" He told him backing away with Guillmon by his side.

"Oh-right-I'm sorry." Ryo apologized.

Takato walked over to Guillmon's hide out where he saw Henry leaning against a tree looking at Terriermon grinning. Takato sighed as he sat down next to his digimon in front of his hide out.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked.

"Nothing. Ryo has been acting strange."

"I thought nothing was wrong." Terriermon joked.

"Terriermon!"

"What? It was just a simple compliment."

Henry sighed, he looked at Takato with worried eyes, "Yeah I know. You know what I noticed? He was disappearing." Henry told him mysteriously.

"Disappearing? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, his arm was fading. It stopped though when I said hi to him."

"That's weird. Do you think it has anything to do with digital world?"

"Maybe… I think it's also emotional though, because he's been depressed lately. And it's not everyday you see him depressed."

"Yeah," Takato nodded seriously, "I think it's about a girl or something."

"I guess…" Henry said uneasily, "You think it's Rika?"

"Nah-they bicker too much."

Henry looked at him with a slight grin on his face, "Exactly."

"What?" Takato blushed a little, "Nah, it can't be… Can it?" Takato asked.

He felt a great rush of jealousy pass through him. But why? It's not like he likes her or anything. Does he?

"Takato?"

"What? Oh yeah. Um I guess it could be Rika"

Henry grinned. He knew Takato liked Rika he just never said anything about it. He knew Rika likes Takato by all the ways she acts around him too. But he's not one of those guys who rush people to do something, so he ignored the whole thing.

All of a sudden Guillmon's eyes flashed yellow as he turned to face a specific direction. Takato looked at him curiously, "Guillmon?" He asked.

"Something is coming. Something big," Guillmon said seriously, "We have to go to the digital world."

Takato stood up looking the same direction as Guillmon, "Well-err-ok I'll call the rest."

Meanwhile Ryo was walking slowly through the forest thinking quietly. His light brown hair fell onto his dark blue eyes. For some reason the gel wore off but he didn't care. He just walked silently thinking of all the good times he had with…Terri.

***Flash back***

"I have to go and save the other dimension. I told you that I have a destiny the minute we got together. Just like you and the rest."

"You said you'll always be here for me. No matter what, why can't I go with you?"

"It's too dangerous. Don't you dare try to follow me Terri, you'll get lost."

Terri sighed and her eyes of sadness turned into eyes of madness, "Yeah ok…"

Ryo held out his arms and started to walk over to her, "No, stay where you are! Don't you dare touch me!" Terri shouted angrily. But Ryo didn't listen to her. He wrapped his arms around her as she struggled to get free. She finally gave up and rested her arms on his chest and started to cry, "Why- why are you leaving me? After-all we've been through…" She said through her weeping.

***End of Flashback***

Ryo sighed as he remembered this, he missed her so much. He just wanted to hold her in his arms. And tell her that everything is ok. He wondered whether she moved on or not. He knew he hasn't, she was the most precious person in his life, the most important person in his life, more important than his dad, and his friends. Ryo sighed again as a tear slid down his cheek.

"Ryo…" A soft and deep voice called out to him.

Ryo jumped and turned around toward the voice. His eyes watered with tears as he saw a beautiful green eyed girl. She was wearing he baby blue tank top and white shorts. Her hair was long and wavy and was held back with a white and blue bandana. She wore gloves that showed her finger tips and diamonds were covering the little holes on each and every finger.

Ryo looked at her passionately, "Terri…" He said in shock and happiness, he walked up to her and grabbed her arm gently to make sure she was real.

"You're…real"

Terri smiled at him, "Of course I am. I've missed you so much." Terri wrapped her arms around him closing her eyes.

"How did you-?"

"Gennai-he transported me here. He told me there is trouble. And we are the only ones that can save the digital world."

Ryo let go of her, "So, you're only here-because of Gennai?"

Terri nodded slowly, "And-there is something I have to tell you-I've moved on Ryo. I found a new guy…"

Ryo's eyes widened, "What?" he asked.

He felt a rush of pain enter his blood streams. His eyes burned as tears fell from his eyes, he looked at her.

"Who is he?" He tried to ask calmly.

"You-you don't know him. His name is Will-he's a nice guy-I-"

Ryo backed away from her, "I don't care if he's a nice guy, I waited for you for one whole year Terri. And you didn't? Wasn't our love true enough? Weren't we in love?" He asked as tears streamed down his cheeks.

"Of course it was, but Ryo I haven't seen you in so long. I was in pain I needed somebody to comfort me. And than-Mimi's friend came along, and I sort of fell in love with him-try to understand Ryo."

"Oh I understand," He said angrily, "You didn't love me enough, am I right? You were waiting until I left our world so you could go with another guy…" Ryo's voice was filled with anger but at the same time it was as calm as the wind.

"Ryo-no-try to understand-I-"

But Ryo ran away before Terri could finish her sentence, "Ryo!" She called after him as she followed him.

Ryo kept on running; his eyes were filled with tears and pain. He didn't want to stop; he just wanted to run forever.

He finally stopped and collapsed on his knees. When he opened his eyes, he looked around and found himself in front of Guillmon's hide out. He wiped his tears away. He stood up and made sure that no one was there, when he was sure no one had seen him. He sat on the floor and closed his eyes trying to relax,

Terri stopped at where Ryo was, she looked around. But no one was there, she saw the little gray house that Guillmon usually hid in and went inside. There she saw Ryo sitting on the floor leaning his back against the wall. His eyes were closed, but she could tell he was in pain. She saw the little tears the cornered his eyes.

Suddenly, she heard a noise from deep inside, she turned around startled as she saw the little red dinosaur.

"Aw how cute!" She squealed.

"Um-who are you?"

Ryo opened his eyes slowly and saw what was happening, he sighed, "Guillmon- this is-err-my friend from the other dimension I told you about. Her name is Terri."

"Hello, Terri. I'm Guillmon! You want some bread? Its fresh-Rika just stopped by and got me some because Takato couldn't." He explained to her as he stretched out his claw handing her his bread.

"Um-no it's ok," she smiled at him, "Thanks for thinking of me though."

She looked at Ryo, "I thought you said you were waiting for me. Who's Rika?"

"Rika's my friend Terri." He said offended, "We are like brother and sister; we're no where near love."

He stood up, "Let's not discuss this in front of Guillmon." He looked at Guillmon, "Do me a favor G, don't tell Takato about this."

"Don't tell me what?" Takato's voice asked from behind them.

Ryo and Terri jumped, "Takato!" Ryo said surprised. "Nothing, um this is Terri, my friend from the other dimension."

Terri looked at Takato. She realized how his big amber eyes sparkled with joy and peace. He wasn't wearing his goggles so his brown hair spread all over his head making him look older than 12.

"Hello Takato. It's nice to meet you."

"Thanks. It's nice to meet you too Terri."

Takato looked at Ryo, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Oh-I just wanted to-err-visit Guillmon."

"Are you ok Ryo? You haven't been your self lately."

"I wonder why…" He muttered to Terri, her eyes filled with tears.

"What was that?" Takato asked.

"I mean-yeah I'm fine. Just a little tired," he said smiling, "I have to go now. You can stay with Terri for a while if you want to…I hope she doesn't- err-do anything to you…" He gave Terri and nasty look from the corner of his eye and left.

Takato looked at Terri, "Are you ok? What was that about?"

"Oh-it's nothing. Everything will be alright."

"Hey-do you think something big is going to happen-I mean since

Ryo told me that you and him fought in battles together and stuff like that- "

"Yeah, something big is going to happen. We have to go to the digital world. Hatred is spreading all over and we have to stop it. You're one of the tamers right?"

"Yep."

"Ok cool. Um since I don't have a place to stay, is it ok if I stay here?"

"What about Ryo's place?"

"I-err-don't think Ryo is going to welcome me in his house right now-don't ask." She added seeing the expression on Takato's face.

"Oh I see-well I would let you stay with me-but I don't what my parents will say." He paused a bit, "Well, ok you can come with me. You look older than me and all so I guess it would be ok."

"How old are you?" Terri asked in admiration.

"Oh. I'm 12 years old."

"You look older than 12."

Takato blushed, "Heh-thanks. Just let me check something with Guillmon. I'll be right back."

Takato walked to the end of the darkness with Guillmon by his side. He came back a few minutes later and left with Terri toward his house.
