Chapter 2: Back



Rika's POV

The phone rang, but I was too lazy to pick it up.

"Rika! Pick the phone up!" my mom yelled from downstairs.

I grabbed it and said, "Hello?"

"Hi this is Jeri's stepmother." the phone mumbled. "I was wondering, did you see Jeri anywhere?"

"Jeri?" I thought. "First I didn't even know what happened and second... How could she be gone? I can't worry her parents!"

I looked at the phone then I said to Jeri's mom, "Um... she... wanted to sleep over at my house today. Err... she forgot to tell you. Em... is it okay if we go to a REALLY long camping trip tomorrow?" I asked and lied at the same time.

"Um... sure!" her step mom said.

"Okaythat'sgreatbye!" I said in one breathe and hung up immediately.

I pushed my back against the wall, looked up at the ceiling and thought, "What happened to Jeri?"

I grabbed the phone and contacted the others. All of the tamers were concerned about Jeri... especially Takato.

"WHAT?! RIKA! YOU SHOULD'VE WENT WITH HER!!! DID SHE GET KIDNAPPED?!! DID SHE RUN AWAY?!! RIKA TELL ME!!" Takato screamed on the phone.

"Look! I don't know! The last time I saw her was at my door! Go ask Henry or something!" I snapped.

Before he could say another word I slammed my receiver down.

But, right now I wasn't concerned with Jeri. My mind was on Ryo.

"How could Ryo be such a jerk and just ditch me like that?" I thought aloud. I shook my head and climbed into my bed, "That doesn't matter now. I hate him and that's it. Nothing can change now."



~1 MONTH LATER~



Ryo's POV

It felt weird to be back in to be back in front of Rika's house again. "I can't believe I just broke up with Clara..." I thought. "But she wasn't the one for me anyway."

I stepped onto Rika's porch and knocked on the door. Rika's grandmother opened the door and said, "Hi Ryo, can I help you with something?"

They still remembered me after Rika and I broke up. I don't think Rika told them so I just cheerfully asked for Rika.

"Oh, I'm sorry but she went to the park with her other friends! Bye now!" her grandmother grinned.

I ran to the park as fast as I could. It was already 7:00 PM. I slowed down when I was the slide. I walked in and looked around. I didn't see anybody, suddenly I saw Kazu press his lips against his classmate's mouth. They didn't even notice me!

I took a few steps forward and said, "Um... Kazu? Sorry to walk in on such and important moment but uh... have you seen Rika?"

He immediately pushed away from his girlfriend. "Um... Hi Ryo! I was just um... practicing a play!"

I stared, "Yeah, that's great. Have you seen Rika around?"

"What?! You walked in on MY kiss just to find a weird girl like her?" Kazu yelled.

"I don't care! Now where's Rika?!" I barked.

"Argh! She went to the Shinjuku restaurant." He mumbled.

"Man, what do people have to do to get a little privacy these days?" Kazu muttered under his breathe and went back to kissing his girlfriend. (Lol he doesn't deserve a girlfriend but oh well!)

I took the nearest bus to Shinjuku park and ran to the Shinjuku restaurant.

I went inside and found Rika listening to her Discman. I raced to her seat and my first words were, "I'm sorry."

Rika looked at me like I was a mad dog. She pulled her earphones off and said, "What?"

"I'm sorry." I repeated.

"What? Who are you and what are you trying to say?" she demanded.

"Um... I'm Ryo Akiyama. Don't you remember me?" I tapped my fingers in confusion.

"Man," I thought. "Just one month and she ALREADY forgets who I am!"

"Oh! Aren't you that guy that won the card tournament?" she said starting to remember.

I brightened up, "Yeah that's me! Remember you and I use to be a team at fighting other card battlers?"

Rika looked confused again, "What?! I don't work with ANYONE but me!"

"Okay then," I said. "Maybe you'll remember this; you were my girlfriend and I dumped you because I never really liked you?"

"Stop it." she said blankly.

"Stop what? Trying to make you remember that I was your boyfriend?" I said.

She got angry, "Look! I don't know what you're trying to do but just leave me alone!"

That look on her face... it was the one when I 'dumped' her for Clara.

"But you were my girlfriend!" I shouted loudly.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at me.

Rika turned around, "Stop it! I never had a boyfriend and I never will! The last thing I ever did with a guy was beat him up, now go!"

"But Rika!" I yelled after her. Now everyone was really watching us.

"Shut up! I have better things to do than to argue with a loser like you!" she growled.

I stretch my arm out trying to grab her on the shoulder, but before I could, I received a hard and swift punch on the nose from her.

"You deserve that." Rika said, jammed her headphones back on, and left the restaurant cursing under her breathe.

I held my nose as blood spilled from it.

A waitress handed me a tissue. I held it to my nose and raced after her.

Rika's POV

I walked into my house and ran to my bedroom

The weirdest thing happened to me. I was listening to some music and suddenly this guy burst in the restaurant saying that I was his girlfriend. That was totally ridiculous. Him? My boyfriend? Yeah right!

"Although he did look a bit familiar..." I thought.

That hair... those eyes... I remembered making it in 2nd place in the tournament but not battling him in the card game...

I tried to remember. It was no use. I shook my head out of the thought and muttered to myself, "No Rika, don't think that way. He was just another insane idiot!"

I went to the washroom and took a quick shower. After I got into my pajamas I checked my watch. It was 8:50.

I looked out the window. I was too worried about Jeri and the Wargs that kidnapped her. "Jeri. Don't worry were coming to save you."

Climbed into my bed and went to sleep.

But, I had no idea that something was watching me... a Warg.
