Chapter 1: No Feelings



Rika's POV

I happily greeted Ryo. It was 7:30 in the morning and it was in the middle summer... so, that only meant one thing... no school and Ryo!

"Hey Ryo!" I smiled. Ryo was my boyfriend for about 2 months, but I had no clue that he wasn't going to be mine any longer.

Ryo looked at me blankly. Something was wrong.

"I said, HEY RYO!" I practically yelled.

He jerked out of his trance. For some reason, he didn't look very happy to see me. I frowned, "what's wrong?"

"I have to tell you something." Ryo said softly.

I had no idea what was going on so I said, "sure."

He didn't say anything. I started to get impatient, "well... spit it out!"

"We're breaking up." Ryo said looking at his feet.

What did he mean by "we're breaking up"?

"You're kidding right?" I laughed weakly. A thousand questions ran through my mind.

"I'm sorry but I never had real feelings for you in the first place. I just didn't want to hurt you. Sure, you were sometimes really funny and cute, but it's just... different now." Ryo said with his teeth clenched together.

I finally realized that he wasn't joking. Now I had a thousand MORE questions. So what he meant was... he was never really mine in the first place.

I was completely quiet, but inside I was screaming in confusion.

Finally I said, "you're a pretty good actor."

Ryo looked at me straight in the eye and murmured, "I'm sorry. I just couldn't go on forever like that. I like Clara now... for real." (sorry I suck at making up names!)

That was the part that hit me the most. Not only did he lie to me but, he liked another girl at the same time.

"I trusted you..." I looked away.

"I know, I'm really sorry!" Ryo started to get tense. He leaned forward to comfort me with a hug.

I pushed him away, "No. It's okay. I was just... stupid. How could I have fallen for a guy that didn't really like me...?"

He looked at me, his eyes burning in sorrow. "Don't say that! It wasn't your fault. I was the one who was wrong!"

I kicked a rock in anger.

"Yeah you were the one who was wrong." But I kept the thought to myself, afraid of what he might do if I said it out loud.

"But that doesn't mean we can't still be friends, does it?" Ryo asked hopefully and grabbed my arm. "I mean, you need them!"

I got upset... VERY upset.

I swung my hand away from his and turned around, looking at him dead in the eye and yelled bitterly, "Yeah, you're right. I need friends, but I don't need YOU!"

I turned away silently bursting into tears. I never felt so empty! I ran to my friend, Jeri's house. I could still hear him yelling, "RIKA...!"

~At Jeri's House~

Jeri's POV

"Jeri! Go get the door!" My stepmother yelled. (By the way, I ignored the fact that Jeri's supposed to be possessed and that Leomon is dead).

"Argh! What now?" I said annoyed. I put my D-Power on my bed and ran to the door. I looked through the hole to see who was outside. I opened it.

"Rika!" I said surprised. Rika never went to my house to see me before. "Please, come in!"

"C-can I go to your room?" she asked. She didn't look very happy. It was hard to believe, but she looked like she just... cried.

I went to get some pop. I took two cups and went to my room.

I sat down on my bed beside Rika. "So, why are you here?"

Rika took a sip of pop and told me what had happened.

"--so I just took off to your house." she finished.

I was in total shock. How could Ryo do such a thing? I was sure Takato would never do that to me! (They're a couple! ^_^)

I hesitated, thinking of what to say. "Gee... I never knew that Ryo could be so... insensitive."

"Well, I guess it wasn't his fault. I mean, I would've done the same thing if I liked another guy. But, promise me Jeri, you can't tell anyone else what happened." Rika said.

"Don't worry, I won't tell." I stared at my clock, 8:30. "Rika, it's getting late, you should go home now. Here, I'll come with you."

Rika nodded. I quickly grabbed my purple bike and gave Rika my blue one. We rode together on the side of the driveway. We finally got to her house.

"Bye Jeri," Rika yawned. "Night."

"Night." I said cheerfully. "You can give me back my bike tomorrow."

She nodded and closed the door.

I turned around to ride back home. It started to get really dark. I rode a bit faster. Suddenly, my chain broke. "Aw! Not now!" I complained.

I walked my broken bike down the sidewalk. Then, I heard a voice calling my name, "Jeri!"

It was Henry. I waved and yelled, "Hey!"

He ran over and greeted me with a gentle handshake. "What are you doing out this late?"

"I was taking Rika home. We had a Art project to work on." I lied.

Henry gave me a weird look. "But it's, summer. We don't have school. Plus, Rika doesn't go to our school."

"Oh my Gosh... I'm such a bad liar." I thought.

"Err... whoops I forgot. Well she was over 'cause she borrowed a book from me and had to return it." I fibbed again.

"Well, okay then. Bye." He said. I just knew that he was suspicious.

I fled. I walked my bike past a dark garage thing and dropped my wallet. I leaned down to pick it up. "Whoops!"

I started to walk my bike again. But for some reason, the bike wasn't moving. I turned around. Some kind of shadow was holding the wheels. I screamed, "OH MY GOSH!!!"

The shadow grabbed me by my ankle and pulled me into a portal. I screamed as loud as I could, "HELP! SOMEONE HELP!"

Suddenly, two glowing dark red eyes glared at me. "Nobody can hear you."

I was completely freaked out. "LEOMON! HELP!"

But it was too late, the world went black to me.
