Never Alone

By Takako

Takki's notes: There. I think I kinda fixed the whole paragraph problem. It is NOT my problem for those who think it is. It is ff.net's problem. I do separate my stuff into paragraphs and things. Which kinda pisses me off when people say that I should do that. Well anyways, I broke my promise! I promised it would be up in a few days. Very sorry for those who were waiting, which I think is like no one. Nough said. Wait. JENRUKI FOREVER!!!!!!!! JENRUKI ROCKS!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON, but I want Jenrya!! Also I don't own the song Still Alone by Ayumi Hamasaki.

Chapter 1

Still Alone

20 years old Ruki Makino walked down the streets of Tokyo. She was utterly worn out because her boss told her to finish her partner's work as well, which was twice. She hated her part time job, but there's nothing she can do about it. She needed money. It was about midnight. There weren't many people on the streets. Ruki picked up her pace. She knew it was kind of dangerous for a girl like her wandering in the streets this late at night. Who knows what will happen. She walked past the Pizza Place. It reminded her of her friends. Takato and Juri were in Kyoto studying university. Ryo went to America and Jenrya probably still in China. She didn't know. They've lost contact ever since he left. As for Takato and Juri they send emails to her or sometimes phone calls, but that was it. She couldn't deny that she didn't miss them. She wanted to see them all, and hang around like before. It's not that she didn't have any friends now, but they were different.

'I wonder if there will be a day when all of us meet again.' she thought to herself. She didn't notice that there was a man behind her.

Suddenly, a strong arm grabbed her from the back and a hand covered her mouth firmly. She fought against the man while he dragged her into an alley. The man flung her against the wall and pulled out a knife.

"Give me your money," he said pointing the knife at Ruki.

"I have no money." She said stubbornly, "But you can have this!" She threw a fist at the man, causing him to move back.

"You little slut!" he hissed as he pulled out a gun.

Ruki froze. She never knew he had a gun. She'll be dead in no time when he pulls the trigger.

"Got any fists or kicks to give me?" the man smirked evilly as he approached her. The gun was still aimed at her. She retreated but before she knew she was trapped in a corner. 'I thought I was more sensible than letting myself being trapped in a corner.' she mentally scolded herself. She shivered.

"Scared?" The man smirked again.

"Don't kill me!" Ruki begged him, "Please, don't kill me!"

"I won't," he smirked for the third time, "I'm going to torture you first." The man pinned her on the wall.

'Please, someone help me! Stupid Jenrya. You promise that I am never alone!' Her mind was screaming but she couldn't do anything anymore. The last thing that ran through her mind was Jenrya. Then darkness dominated everything.

Ruki opened her eyes slowly. She was no longer in the alley but on a bed. She could feel she was dressed. She remained lying down. Who knows the guy might come out and shoot her. She looked around the room. It was a hotel room.

"Miss?" said a male voice from somewhere that she couldn't see. Suddenly a pair of grey eyes were looking down at her. Those familiar warm grey eyes that she longed to see again. Couldn't it be. "Miss, are you OK?"

"Jenrya ." Ruki whispered. "Jenrya is that you?" The blue haired boy stared at her. Those amethyst eyes, orange hair .

"Ruki?" his eyes widened. "Ruki! I didn't know it was you! I should have killed that guy!"

"What . how.?" Ruki's mind is so mixed up. She couldn't even form a sentence.

"You were lucky." Jenrya tried to think what he did. "I went down to buy something to eat and then I heard sounds from the alley and that guy was like ready to.um.yeah you know." he paused, blushing like hell. He took a deep breath and continued. "Then I kicked him away and I didn't know where you lived. Well I didn't really recognize it was you so I just took you to my hotel." Jenrya looked down but Ruki was already asleep.

"What a unique way to meet her again." Jenrya mumbled as he plopped on his bed, "I can't believe I didn't recognize her." The song Still Alone was playing when Jenrya turned on the radio.

Kimi ha ima doko ni aruite nani wo mitsumeteru no?

Where are you walking, what are you staring at now?

Itsuka hanashite kureta yume oitsudzukete iru no?

Are you still chasing that dream you once told me about?

Mirai wo kataru yokogao totemo suki datta kara

I loved your face that seemed to tell the future

Sono yume mamotte yuku tame ni ha watashi ga ichi ikenakatta

For you to protect that dream I couldn't be with you

Kimi ha itsumo konna basho de konna keshiki wo mite

When you stood here and watched the scenery

Dore kurai no fuan to mayoi to tatakatteta no?

How much anxiety and confusion did you battle with?

Hitori ni natte hajimete wakaru koto ga ookute

I've learned a lot from being alone

Kono te wo hanasazu ni ireba doko made demo ikeru ki ga shita

As long as you didn't let go of my hand, I felt like I could do anything.

Onaji michi aruite iku to utagau koto mo naku shinjita

When we walked along the same path I believed without a single doubt

Doushite sore na no ni watashi ha

But even so, why.?

Doushite sore na no ni watashi ha

But even so, why.?

Da kedo watashi ha

But I.

Yakusoku ha oboete iru no

I remember your promise

Wasureta hi ha nai n

I remember every day
