Promise of the Heart
Intro: Ok, now's the time when I introduce the new digimon and it's "master plan". Ok, just to let you know, this isn't an IceDevimon thing (too unoriginal) or a Kuzuhamon thing (ditto) ok? I wanted to do something a little different, like fiddling with the Digimon Queen title. Rukato. Oh yes, there is yet another song, Everclear I think it's called... I only changed one word in the song, which is "star wars" to "digimon" (makes more sense...) My apologies to 911 (I think that's what the group is called...) By the way, for all those who would like to know about Henry's genius plan, the digimon cuts it short... but it will carry out after this whole thing... or will it?
BlackGatomon: Would you stop teasing the already tense and ready to kill you readers?!
Lol, anyway, R+R and enjoy!

***Part 4***
Ruki sighed as she collapsed on her bed once again. Lee had just left and everything was peaceful, even though she was still angry at Takato. (However there is hope...)
Heh heh heh heh heh...
The weird chuckle rang in Ruki's head. Renamon watched Ruki's eyes widen. "Renamon... did you hear that?"
"No..." said Renamon quizzically. All of a sudden Ruki's eyes dilated with fear as she doubled over and coughed up black blood. Renamon stood and watched with worry in her eyes. "Ruki what's going on?!"
Heh heh heh...
Now Renamon heard it and her eyes dilated too. "Ruki?!"
Ruki didn't answer, she was still doubled over, her pupils small and her face full of fear. Pain had struck ever corner of her body, like it was a part of her blood. She couldn't move or wince, and she coughed up more blood.
Through her eyes it seemed she was being pulled underwater, only she could breathe, but she couldn't see anything. "RENAMON!!" she screamed, but nothing came out of her mouth. "RENAMON! TAKATO!! HELP ME!!!!!!" She sunk deeper and deeper into the darkness, like she was being dragged by something. She screamed as the pain shot through her again, and soon she was unconscious.
Renamon stared at Ruki's terror-stricken face in horror. "Ruki..."
There was no answer from her, just her breathing heavily and sputtering. All of a sudden a darkened hole appeared under Ruki. Renamon jumped and cried out, "Hang on Ruki!!" But she was too late, Ruki disappeared down into the depths, and before Renamon could jump in after her, the hole closed up.
Renamon sat there in horror, her paws gripping the floor where Ruki had once been. "Oh no..."
Heh heh heh...
Renamon looked up and saw the sky was black outside the window. Then the ground began to shake violently and a large, glittering, crystal tower arouse through the house, looking much the same as a control spire. Renamon ducked between falling timbers and grabbed the Makino family. They ran outside and stared up in horror. The sky was whirling like a hurricane would, and black tornadoes hung everywhere. Renamon scanned the tower and finally spotted something... a digimon at the very top, commanding everything in sight...
Ah hahahaha...
* * * *
The rumbling and black sky had not only surrounded the Makino mansion, but had reached through all of Shinjuku as well. Takato and Lee were in their dorm when all of a sudden everything began to rumble.
"W-What's g-going o-on?!" cried Takato through the rumbling. Terriermon bounced up and down, and Guilmon was growling.
"I-It's a D-Digimon," growled Guilmon.
"W-where's R-Ruki?" cried Takato.
All of a sudden the rumbling stopped and Lee looked outside. He gasped. "Look Takato!"
Takato looked out the window and saw the sky was black, and a crystal control spire stood right where the Makino mansion was! "RUKI!" he screamed and ducked out the door.
"Takato wait a minute!" cried Lee, running after him, Terriermon on his shoulder. Takato ran as fast as he could to the tower. {Please be there... Please be alright... If anything happens to you Ruki I don't know what I'll do!} They approached the crystal tower and stood before it. Lee spied Renamon. "Renamon! What's going on?"
"Ruki..." said Renamon breathless. "Run!"
Takato blinked. "What?" All of a sudden Guilmon pulled him out of the way as a lightning bolt struck the ground. Takato looked up to see a digimon on top of the tower, commanding the skies. "What-or who... is that?"
Heh heh heh...
"We have to get into that tower!" cried Renamon, ducking Rumiko and Seiko out of the way of the falling bolts. She got them to a safe place and said, "Stay here, we'll be back..."
"Ruki!!" cried Rumiko. "Where is she?!"
"She'll be fine," said Seiko calmly. "Trust them."
Rumiko nodded silently and Renamon took off. Takato dodged effortlessly around the bolts, running up to the tower. "Tell me where Ruki is!" he cried up to the Digimon. When Takato got to the tower, he stopped dead in his tracks, horror struck. "No way..."
The digimon grinned down at him, smiling. Takato gasped. {The digimon who saved me... that was Taomon... right?} He turned to Renamon. "Didn't you save me from BlueMeramon?"
Lee cringed as he dodged another bolt. "What good will that do us Takato?"
Renamon stared at him. "No... I didn't save you..."
Takato's eyes widened. "Then the Taomon... that saved me... that wasn't you?"
Renamon stared at him, confused. "No..."
"Then that means that..." said Takato, turning to the tower. "That digimon is Taomon!"
Gwa haahaha...
* * * *
The weird chuckle rang in her head again and Ruki slowly opened her eyes. She was surrounded by darkness, except the dim light on her. "Where am I?" She stared around at where she was, but the most she could make out was her body. She sighed and turned on her side. (Where is everyone?)
It was silent all around her. Ruki smiled gently, it was warm, and obviously she was safe. She closed her eyes, she was too tired to wonder what happened and where she was.
Plick
Ruki opened her eyes and blinked. Then it came again, right in front of her. She stared at the ground. (Rain?)
More drops fell until it became a downpour. Ruki sighed and sat up and hugged her knees, allowing the rain to fall gently around her.
Shh shh shh...
Ruki sighed. (Rain... it always makes me depressed... but not for the same reason...) Memories came flowing back to her...
I close my eyes
When I get too sad
I thank god cause I know we're bad...
A four year old Ruki ran up to her father, who held his arms out to her. Happily locked in his arms, she always felt so secure with him... They were always so happy...
But every night...
A six year old Ruki lie silently on her bed, staring up at all her Digimon posters. They were a way for her to escape what was always going on outside her door. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine something else, trying to block out the screaming of her mother and the yelling of her father... she hated it so much...
Close my eyes and count to 10
Hope it's over when I open them
I want the things I had before
Like the digimon poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to 10
Make everything be wonderful again...
She stood by the door to the living room, which was closed, except for a crack. Ruki peered inside, and watched her mother scream and throw things at her father. Her father would retort by yelling. "Well fine then!!!" yelled her father, the voice so monotone that it scared her. She choked down her tears, but they still came.
Tears welled up in Ruki's eyes. (Why can't they be happy?) She leaned on the wall next to the door. (Why...?)
Ruki sunk down and clamped her hands over her ears as the fighting got more intense. (Why can't everything be like it used to be?) She shut her eyes tight and began to cry. (What happened to make them so mad at each other? Was it me?)
Hold my mom, I hold my dad
Can't figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream,
I hear them fight
They say bad words
And make me want to cry...
Close my eyes when I go to bed
I dream adventures that make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday...
Rumiko was crying when Ruki entered the bathroom. "Why are you crying mommy?" asked the 6 year old Ruki. Rumiko looked up and smiled. "It's ok honey... Mommy's just mad at your father..."
Ruki walked into her mom's arms. "Why?"
"We just don't get along Ruki," said Rumiko, stroking her daughter. Ruki still didn't understand, but she didn't ask anymore questions. Rumiko smiled. "Don't worry, everything will be better someday..."
Why does this mean everything
When you're little and the world's so big?
I just don't understand how,
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes...
And tell me everything is wonderful now...
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...
She remembered when she was young, her father would play with her while her mother worked. He loved her, and she loved him more than anything in the world. Yes, she loved her mother too, but her mother didn't seem to have any time for her.
She went to a public school when she was young. She paid attention there, hoping it would never end, so she wouldn't have to go back and face their fighting...
Go to school and I run and play
Tell the kids it's all okay
I laugh a lot so my friends don't know
When the bell rings
I just don't want to go...
Go to my room and close my eyes
Make believe I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday...
It was raining that one gloomy morning in April. Ruki was six, walking home after a gloomy day at school. She had her yellow raincoat on as she approached the house, and she smiled as she saw her dad, but that quickly diminished... Her father was loading the car, Rumiko screaming at him. Her mother screamed one final word and stormed inside. Ruki ran up to her father.
"Where are you going Daddy?" she asked with innocence, hoping it was just a grocery trip...
Her father turned and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm leaving Ruki-san."
Ruki stared up at him sadly. "Can I go too?"
Her father shook his head. "No Ruki, you stay here and be a good girl. You belong here with your mother."
"But I want to be with you!" she cried unhappily, tears brimming in her eyes. He shook his head. "I may not be able to take care of you properly. You must understand Ruki, some people leave, but a part of them will stay with you forever..."
Ruki didn't understand. "But where are you going?"
He stared at her with sad eyes. "Your mom and I have decided we'll be better off away from each other..." Tear dribbled down Ruki's cheeks. "But..."
"I'm sorry Ruki," he said. "Stay here. You'll see me again." He kissed her on her forehead. "Goodbye Ruki..."
"Daddy wait!" she cried, her vision blurring from her tears. He waved to her, crying also. He got in the car and began to drive off.
"Daddy come back!" she cried, running after the car as fast as her legs would carry her. "I want to come with you!!!"
All of a sudden she tripped on the pavement. She landed and found she had skinned her knee. Defeated, she watched as her father disappeared into the falling rain. She sat there and cried. (But I want to be with you... I want everyone to be happy again... please... just come back...)
When you're little, and the world's so big
I just can't understand how,
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now...
I don't want to hear you say...
Everything is wonderful now...
Ruki stood silently, allowing the rain to fall gently around her. A drop splattered on her hand, but she didn't know whether it was from her or the rain.
She was always very close to her dad. Her mother only criticized her looks, about how she never wore make-up and everything. But her dad loved her for who she was, but when he left...
She closed up. She figured that if she were alone, no one could hurt her. She didn't get close to anyone, for her fear of them ending up like her father, breaking her heart and leaving her. She was cold and icy on the outside, but really she was lonely. To ease her loneliness, she played the digimon card game. It took her mind off things, and she felt secure because it was something she was good at.
She made sure she didn't get close to anyone... that is, until she met Takato and the others.
She sighed through her tears, trying to get rid of the lump in her throat. However, she was still crying. She stared through her tears at her feet, silently crying. (I was stupid... I let my guard down... and now what I feared worst is happening...
I tried, I really tried. I didn't want to get close to them... or him for that matter. But I couldn't help it. He would blush and so would I, and he was so sweet then for sending that e-mail... still...
I'm not as strong as I want to be. But at least now I know that fighting isn't everything, and it's nice to have friends... but what if... what if they all leave again?)
She kneeled down and trembled. (I wish... everything was as it was when I was little, and my parents weren't fighting... and we were happy... and I wasn't so unhappy and lonesome anymore...)
She buried her head in her knees and cried. She missed her father, and she wanted Takato back, but she knew neither of them would come back...
She heard a weird chuckle and looked up. "Who's there?"
All of a sudden something strode up to her. "Makino Ruki..."
Ruki stared up in surprise and confusion. "Taomon?!"
**End of Part 4**
Who is this mystery villain? Is it really Taomon? Will Takato and Lee ever save Ruki from the devious fate that's about to befall her? Heeheehee... you'll just have to find out, on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!
Rika: *sweat drops* Did you honestly have to say that?
Whoops, by the way, just to let you know that I have no clue if any of Ruki's history is true, but judging by evidence I'm 'assuming' this is what happened. We'll see if I'm right or wrong when the Digimon Movie 6 comes out...
