Disclaimer: Ryo's back! Oh, wait, that's not my line. What was it?
Oh, yeah. I do not on digimon. Who knows what would happen if I did.
Personally, I don't even want to know, the way my mind works.
Simon: Right.
Whitney: Stupid disclaimer took my line.
Ryo: I'm back!
Whitney: Hey, you supposed to be in the story!
Ryo: I know, but I got bored. You weren't typing anything, so I decided to explore the computer. Hey, does Dan know about- *Whitney puts hand over Ryo's mouth.*
Whitney *somewhat nervously*: Heh heh, Ryo, you better get back into the story before everyone starts to worry about you, I mean, you wouldn't want Rika to be worried again, would you?
Ryo: No! Of course not! *runs off to who knows where*
Whitney: Anyway.
Simon: The thank yous!
Whitney: Hey, that's my part. Oh well.
~Fiery-Chan: Don't worry, my muses think I'm crazy too. Lol. (Simon: We don't think she's crazy, we know.)~
~Luen-Chan: I love taffy, I'll have to go get some.~
~Hikari no Kousotsu: You're right on target! Bingo! Bragging can be fun sometimes, the expressions on people's faces are funny if you brag a lot about something. Lol.~
~Angelic Dreams: Bringing Ryo back seems to be the best decision for the story I ever made.~
~Digi-girl: You're Welcome! (~
~Hoobastanker: Having fun with the caps lock? Lol.~
~Jackie: Thanx! (Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else to say.)~
~Bluebird161221: Yes! I've finally memorized the number after you name! Lol. Well, I guess I better not leave ya in suspense, so here it is!~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Him?" Rika glanced back at the rags. She gasped. It wasn't rags at all. It was a human. To be more specific, a boy. To be even more specific, a boy named.Ryo.
"Oh, my God!" Rika screamed. The others, who at the time had been piled up behind the doorway, seeing who it was, also gasped and toppled onto each other. (I'm sure you've seen this scene before. It's rather funny.) It suddenly dawned on Rika how heavy Ryo really was, and she almost fell backwards. Kazu, Kenta, Suzie, Ai, Mako, Alice, Jeri, Takato, Nikki, Ashley, and Henry quickly untangled themselves from the heap and rushed over. Henry and Takato caught Rika and steadied her, taking Ryo into their arms in the process.
Rika was in total shock, but she wasn't the only one. The others stood around Henry and Takato, whose eyes were wide with surprise also. Kazu broke the silence.
"Um, is he, ya know, alive?" Kazu asked nervously. All the teens were so amazed by Ryo even being there to check if he was alive.
Rika knelt down beside him a placed a finger on his neck. "Well, he's got a pulse, but it's pretty slow." she looked up at everyone, her face frantic. Silence. "Well, what are we waiting for? We gotta get him to the hospital!" (Whitney: I just realized that just about all of the other kids besides Rika could have driven, because she's turning 16 and someone else probably already is, at least one of them has to have a car. Oh well.)
We interrupt this scene to give you breaking news! Ashley is wearing a denim skirt and a blue tank top that doesn't have a back, it just ties, with a green star on it. She has white sandals with star on the straps!
Rika: That was breaking news?
Whitney: Yeah, cuz we didn't know in the last chapter. And, I promised them that I would tell them as soon as I talked to the real Ashley and found out!
Rika: You are such a moron!
Whitney: Hey! You be nice or I'll sic Matt on you!
Simon: Isn't Matt a pillow?
Whitney: Yeah, so shh! Pillows have feelings too! Besides, he's got a pretty mean bite!
Kazu: Dude, he's a pillow. Pillows don't have feelings. Pillows don't bite.
Rika: You know, that's the smartest thing you've said this whole story.
Kazu: Hey!
Rika: *sticks tongue out at Kazu*
Henry: Come on, guys. This is no time to fight. Besides, you guys are friends.
Rika: Gee, thank you Mr. Pacifist.
Henry: Hey!
Kenta: Come on, we gotta a story to write!
Whitney: Actually, I have a story to write. You guys are just in it.
Ryo: Hello? I am over here dying and you guys are fighting over something stupid like this?
Whitney: Oh, right. Well, now that our news flash is over, back to the story!
*Back at the Nonaka household* (Rika: 'Bout time. Whitney: Oh, shut up!)
"MOM!" Rika screamed just about as loud as she could. Everyone winced. Footsteps were heard, and they were running frantically down the hall.
"Yes, Rika, honey? What's the mat-" Rumiko (Ms. Nonaka) stopped dead at the doorway in mid step. "-ter?" She placed her foot on the ground. "Oh, my gosh." She said slowly, looking at the familiar face lying half dead in the doorway. "Rika what happened?" Rumiko acquired no reply, her daughter was staring blankly at the boy, a single tear running down her cheek.
Henry spoke up, "Ms. Nonaka, I think we better get Ryo to the hospital." Rumiko nodded and left the room to call the ambulance.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Very good, Kuroi." The olive being commented as the young man stepped towards him. (Kuroi means black in Japanese. I'm not sure if I told you, but Kage means shadow. Are we seeing a pattern here, hmm, darkness. *hint hint*) "I'm sure Kage will be pleased."
The young man reached into his shirt and pulled out the sphere that hung around his neck, identical to the one 'Kage' wears. The emerald creature stopped him. "Not yet, wait a minute." He placed on of his jade fingers on his forehead, tracing a gash resting on it. (Simon: Hmm, wonder where that's from? Whitney: Shut up! You're going to ruin the story!) The dog and the girl were both missing. (Simon: Gee, where could they be? Whitney: Shut up! Matt, get 'em! *a pillow is thrown into the room, hitting Simon, startling him, he runs out of the room. Muffled screams are heard, along with a "AH! The pillows got my leg!"*)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rika stared blankly during the whole car ride to the hospital. "Stupid hospital people, not letting me in the ambulance." She muttered bitterly. Ashley rolled her eyes. Rika, Ashley, Rumiko, Seiko (Rika's grandmother, I think), and Henry (Don't ask, he's just there, okay?) were in the car. Henry, for some odd reason, was sitting in the middle of the two, placed an arm around Rika for comfort and one around Ashley for, well, obvious reasons. *winkety wink. Lol* (Whitney: Watch out girls, Henry's makin moves! Lol.)
Rumiko had called Mr. Akiyama, and he said he would be there, but showed little enthusiasm, even for his son who was missing for over a year and was pronounced dead. It wasn't exactly surprising to anyone, he never really gave a damn for that kid. God, complete strangers cared more about him than his own father did.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Was he alive?" Kuroi asked his partner in crime. (Whitney: God, I want to use that stupid green creatures name! Does anyone know who he is, cause the green creature is a real thing from something. I was hoping someone would mention it, but now, does anyone know who he is? Tell me if ya review!)
"I believe so, but who knows how long. They put a lot of torturing on him for his answers. Very strong boy, that Akiyama. He could have been useful if he hadn't refused." He sighed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I hate traffic!" Kazu said in an irritated way. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel of his black Dodge Intrepid. (Whitney: Grab life by the horns! Simon: Why didn't he drive it to Rika's? Whitney: I don't know. But intrepid mean brave, fearless, stuff like that. Simon: So, he ran all the way back home to get it? Whitney: Yeah, the hospital's too far away to walk, Rika's house is in walking distance. Simon: Oh, I see.)
"Kazu, it's okay. It only puts us behind a few minutes." Alice said.
"Well, in those few minutes, Ryo could die and we wouldn't have been there to say good-bye!" Kazu was even more aggravated. Alice backed off. She had never seen Kazu this livid. Nikki and Kenta were in the backseat, listening quietly to the two. Behind them, in Takato's Audi TT Roadster (Simon: Where the heck are they getting the money for these cars? Well, at least it's not like they have a Ferrari or anything. Whitney: Heh Heh. Simon: Don't Tell me one of them has got a Ferrari! Whitney: Well. Simon: Dear God! Whitney: Hey, it's not my fault I like Ferrari's and Audi's! I especially like Ferrari Spiders.) were Takato (obviously) and Jeri. Ai, Mako, and Suzie were left at home to call all of the kids parents to tell them the news. They were, umm, *counts on fingers* nine after all, so they were ale to stay home by themselves.
Back in the Nonaka ride, Ashley fingered her necklace nervously. This caught Henry's attention, his eyes staring at the strange necklace. It was black thin rope-like matter, with a glass bubble. The ball was filled with a blue liquid, so it seemed from his point of view. It looked like there was something else inside, something like a piece of rice. It was. The piece of rice had writing on it, hmm, oh, it said 'Trunks'. Henry chuckled. This must have startled Ashley, for she looked up at him.
"You must be a pretty hardcore DragonBall Z fan. Well, hardcore Trunks fan." Ashley looked a bit confused, so he pointed to her necklace.
"Oh, yeah, my friend Whitney has one that says 'Goten'." She said, blushing a bit. (Whitney: Actually, I don't know if she got her necklace, she was going to get one that said Trunks and I was going to get one that said Ryo. Not Goten. I didn't get mine because I didn't know if she got hers. I love using real people in my stories! Oh, yeah, the Kiersten a couple chapter back was also based on a real person, she doesn't really like Henry, she just think he's cuter than Ryo. She likes the color of his hair. That's would not be the point though.) She snuggled closer into Henry's arm and laid her head on his shoulder. This was something she could get used to.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"He's lost a lot of blood, a few broken bones. Heart's in shock, his breathing's irregular. I don't think he's going to make it."
"Isn't he the same kid that was here a couple years ago?"
"Yeah, hey! He's that missing kid!"
"You mean Ryo Akiyama?"
"Yeah!"
"You're right! He is!"
"Such a pity that girl may never see him again."
"Isn't that girl the Digimon Queen?"
"Yeah. That's so cute. The Digimon King and Queen are going out."
"Well, we don't know that. They might just be really close friends." The ambulance arrived and the doctor, nurses, etc, rolled the red-orange stretcher bearing the battered boy into the hospital.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Is this all my fault, too?" Rika asked softly. She didn't realize it, but a tear was gently sloping down her cheek.
"What are you talking about?" Henry asked her. "If you mean Ryo being in the hospital, then no, so stop blaming everything on yourself. This isn't like you Rika. You never cried over anything until Ryo came, and I know he doesn't want you to cry." She reached up a hand to wipe her cheek.
Seiko broke the silence. "We're here." Ashley and Rika opened their doors, Henry stepped out of Ashley's. Rika walked up to the double doors, head down. Ashley was surprised that Rika hadn't run into a wall since she wasn't really watching were she was going. Rika was about to open one of the doors when Kazu's voice rang out in the darkness.
"Hey, guys! Wait for us!" he yelled as he, Alice, Kenta, and Nikki ran towards them. Well, it was more Kazu was running towards them, the rest were just walking faster than normal, but not exactly running. A car door slammed, Takato's Audi's door, to be exact. He and Jeri approached the crew, arm in arm, Jeri sniffling a little. AS soon as they came to Rika, she opened the door and traipsed inside. Everyone else followed behind.
Rika marched up to the front desk. The woman at the desk looked up, chewing her gum very loudly. Her mouth was open, so she looked like a cow. Her bright pink lips smiled in a very fake way as the redhead approached.
"May I help you, honey?" She asked, not really wanting to help.
"Uh, yeah, do you know the status of Ryo Akiyama?" Rika asked politely.
"Hold on a second, sweetie." The receptionist replied as she flicked a piece of very fake looking blonde hair out of her face and scrolled through a clip board. She picked up the phone on the desk in front of her and dialed a number. "Excuse me, Dr. Matashi, I know you're very busy," she looked at Rika with the word very, like Rika was intruding on something by coming to see her friend. "but do you know how Ryo Akiyama in doing? Yes, uh huh, okay, I'll tell her. Thank you. G'bye." She placed the phone on the hook and looked back up at Rika. "Well, pumpkin, yo-" the fake blonde was cut off by Rika.
"Don't call me that name." She ordered, well, hissed.
"Yeah, anyway, it seems his heart's in shock, as well as his breathing being irregular. He lost a lot of blood and a few broken bones. Iron and Calcium deficiencies, too." She gave Rika a look as if Rika was the reason he was so injured, like she abused him or something. "They're gonna run a few tests, and then you can see him."
"How long will that take?" Rika asked.
"I don't know, babe." Ms. Fake, well, that's what Rika called her, replied.
Rika sat in the waiting room with the others. The door creaked open, standing in the doorway was Mr. Akiyama. He didn't look worried at all, or happy that Ryo was alive. He went and sat on the opposite side of the room, took a magazine, and buried his face in it. Rumiko and Seiko looked at him strangely, then went back to their magazines.
Kazu and Kenta were sitting next to each other in some chairs across from everyone else, Kazu bugging Kenta about something.
"Come on, Kenta, you bet me fair and square! Now give me the money!" Kazu whined.
"What are you doing?" Rika asked, looking at the two in disgust.
"Kenta made a bet that I couldn't name all of the Lucky Charms, and I did, but now he won't give me the money!" Kazu was now complaining to Rika, who shook her head.
"Kenta, stop making bets with Kazu, you know you'll lose. Now give Kazu his money." Kenta was about to protest, but Rika's glare told him to do otherwise. He slowly handed over the money. Kazu's face lit up and he took it graciously. Rika rolled her eyes at the site of Kazu's joy for money. She also rolled them because even though they were both 16, they still made silly bets. Takato and Jeri seemed to be having a lot of fun, too. They were sitting on the couch beside Rika, Takato drumming his fingers and Jeri staring into space. This was going to be another long night.

Whitney: Well, that chapter sucked. I NEED SUGAR! THIS IS WHAT A CHAPTER IS LIKE WHEN I DON'T HAVE SUGER!
Simon: Whoa, down boy. *Whitney glares at him* I mean girl, yeah, girl.
Whitney: Anyway, if you know what that green thing person -it- is, then write it in your review. I'm going to tell you next chapter, but only if someone tells me who it is, and is correct, so, tell me! Anyway, I've got to go feed Matt, so later!
Simon: You're going to feed a fricken pillow? You are so screwed up.
Matt: Yeah.
Simon: *turns around to see who talked to him* OMG! The pillow talked! Call 911! Somebody help! Rapid pillow!

"Kenta made a bet that I couldn't name all of the Lucky Charms, and I did, but now he won't give me the money!" Kazu was now complaining to Rika, who shook her head.
"Kenta, stop making bets with Kazu, you know you'll lose. Now give Kazu his money." Kenta was about to protest, but Rika's glare told him to do otherwise. He slowly handed over the money. Kazu's face lit up and he took it graciously. Rika rolled her eyes at the site of Kazu's joy for money. She also rolled them because even though they were both 16, they still made silly bets. Takato and Jeri seemed to be having a lot of fun, too. They were sitting on the couch beside Rika, Takato drumming his fingers and Jeri staring into space. This was going to be another long night.

Whitney: Well, that chapter sucked. I NEED SUGAR! THIS IS WHAT A CHAPTER IS LIKE WHEN I DON'T HAVE SUGER!
Simon: Whoa, down boy. *Whitney glares at him* I mean girl, yeah, girl.
Whitney: Anyway, if you know what that green thing person -it- is, then write it in your review. I'm going to tell you next chapter, but only if someone tells me who it is, and is correct, so, tell me! Anyway, I've got to go feed Matt, so later!
Simon: You're going to feed a fricken pillow? You are so screwed up.
Matt: Yeah.
Simon: *turns around to see who talked to him* OMG! The pillow talked! Call 911! Somebody help! Rapid pillow!
Whitney: Tune in next time to see what happen to Simon after the men in white come to take him to the Mental Asylum for thinking a pillow talked ;).
