Wolf Akimaya- interesting huh? *smirks* Ryo gets controlled because… I'm the writer and I say so.(lol just kidding) Erm… honestly, I think they'll each get their shares of possession and odd stuff happening to them throughout the fic.
Well on with the story. -
Ruki ran through the dim- lit street as she read the tiny words on a piece of paper aloud '45 Highview Avenue' When she finally found the house she faced a small house on the side of a eerie hill.
"Hey Pumpkin!" Ryo called as he entered the guestroom.
'Is she sleeping already or just ignoring me? Oh well I'll just go find her'
After 10 minutes of frantic searching he found a note.
"Cami!!!" He shouted.
Cami rushed down the stairs, "What's wrong?"
"Ruki, Jen, note…" Ryo stuttered handing her the note.
"You must get her back. Don't give him any mercy, remember Jenrya isn't who he seems to be."
"Yes I know. I'll do whatever I can." Assured Ryo.
"Do you even know where Jen lives?" She asked bluntly handing him his sword and Ruki's bow and arrow.
He mentally kicked himself. "I was so jealous I didn't even asked him where he was staying. Ruki's right, I am an idiot."
"Ryo, you're not an idiot. There's something you should know, both you and Ruki have a mental and spiritual connection. For the first couple of times though you'll have to focus your energy more to find her… but as the bond between the both of you strengthens then so will the connection." Cami stated.
"Huh? Connection what?!?" asked a stunned Ryo
"Oh just go find her, remember the yoga? Focus all your energy onto her, if you need some help I'll contact you. Just go!"
"Alright." 'Stay safe Ruki' He thought as he ran out the door.
'Stay safe Ruki.' She heard an oddly familiar voice call as he knocked on Jenrya's door.
Brother Simon, rubbed his eyes groggily. "Who could be knocking at a time like this? Bloody idiots!" he hissed.
"Ruki?"
"Jen, sorry to bother you. I just needed to get away … from everything."
"It's alright. You can stay here for a while." Comforted Jen.
'Ruki, where could you be?' Ryo thought as he ran down the street.
"Ryo focus all your energy onto her like I said before. Use it to track her down and pin point her location." Cami prayed hoping he would hear her message.
'What was that? I can feel her aura, her presence, it's so strong.' He thought as he followed Ruki's aura towards Jen's house.
Inside the house, Ruki sat on Jenrya's couch.
"Errm… Ruki, do you want some hot chocolate to warm you up?" Jen asked holding up an ocean blue ceramic cup.
"Sure, thanks Jen-chan."
"Here you go. Ruki you know, if you ever need me, I'll be here for you." He said wrapping his arms around her.
'Where could you be hiding Jenrya or who-ever you are. It doesn't matter, I'll find Ruki and destroy you for laying your dirty hands on her.' Fumed Ryo as he followed the warm aura.
"Ryo! She's nearby, it's time to pin-point her location at once."
"Cami-san? Yes she is nearby, but I can't seem to find her exact location." He replied.
"Yes it's me. No time to explain this will help you."
Suddenly an image of a dark house on a hill appeared. Next came the vibrant image of Ruki kissing 'Jenrya'.
'That can't be Ruki… with him?!'
His fury was finally released when yet another image appeared of Brother Simon/ Jenrya… taunting him with Ruki at his side laughing. An infuriated Ryo pulled out his sword and stalked towards the dark house on the hill.
While Ryo trudged towards Brother Simon's residence, the visions that Cami sent were coming true… Ruki and 'Jenrya' were in fact kissing passionately.
'This girl is more amazing that I thought. Maybe Brother Alias shall let me spare her if I kill the boy.' Brother Simon thought.
'I told myself I didn't need that hotshot Akiyama. The jerk doesn't even know I'm gone…'
"Ruki, is there anything wrong?" He asked breaking away from the kiss.
"Nothing it's just that everyone I care about either leaves me or betrays me." Ruki sighed as she kissed him once again.
"I'll never leave you." Jenrya replied before returning the kiss.
"Get the hell away from her!" Ryo boomed as he broke through the door and punched Brother Simon in the face.
"Ryo what the hell are you doing?" Ruki fumed as she slapped him across the face.
"That's not Jen, he's one of the Brotherhood of Seven!" gasped Ryo who was still in pain.
Ruki was a bit shocked and stunned in confusion at the same time, finally she spoke, "Ryo you already have Cami! Why are you such a jerk? I think your jealousy is blinding you."
"No Ruki, he's not the one blinded." Brother Simon interjected as he changed into a dwarf-like creature. "I'm Brother Simon from the Brotherhood of Seven."
"Why… Why did you lie to me? You played with my… emotions, you stupid creep!" Spat Ruki.
"Wildcat! Catch." Ryo yelled while throwing Ruki, her bow and arrow set.
"Thanks I think."
"Let me explain something to you first. Originally I was ordered by Brother Alias to destroy you both. As I began to know you better Ruki my dear, I've changed my mind. If you help me destroy this boy who broke your heart, you may live." Brother Simon Stated.
'What should I do? Who can I trust?' Ruki thought to herself.
"Ruki-chan, it's me Cami. If you won't do it for Ryo, do it for your friends, family and everyone in both the worlds who are depending on both the digital fighters." Cami 'said'.
As Ruki opened her eyes, she saw Ryo and the true form of Brother Simon battling it out. Sparks flew as metal clashed against metal.
"Ruki, my love. You're awake, just in time to see the person who has deceived you die at my hands." Announced Brother Simon.
"Unless you're going to commit suicide, I don't think it'll be at your hands." Ruki remarked
"What?" he asked stunned.
"Ryo didn't deceive me, you're the one that did. You lied to me, used me to lure Ryo here, and will break your promise in the next couple of minutes." Retaliated Ruki.
"What promise are you talking about?" Brother Simon asked now thoroughly confused.
"That you'd always be here for me. Not for long though." She replied pulling out a blue and yellow mixed arrow.
"How could you…" brother Simon asked as he was blasted with a steady stream of water and then thousands of volts of electricity pulsed through his body.
"Ryo, just finish him off." Ruki said as she sulked in a corner.
"Sure thing, my queen." Ryo agreed, as he pinned the dwarf onto the floor and stabbed it through the heart.
In seconds, Brother Simon's body vanished and both of their digivices glowed brightly, yet the female digital fighter remained solemn.
"Ruki, what's wrong?" Ryo asked as he laid a hand on her shoulder.
She immediately felt discomfort and punched him. "Don't touch me Akiyama." Ruki hissed.
"I'm sorry, why are you mad at me this time?" Ryo pleaded.
"I thought you cared for me… in that kind of way. Could you blame me, for it? With the way you were acting since you met me, even Juri was convinced. When I finally return your feelings, you go fall in love with Cami. I know she's smart and beautiful and everything------"
She was cut off by Ryo, "I don't love Cami, in that way. Cami-san, is just like my mother when she was still alive. You're the only girl in my heart. I'll do anything for you, just to make sure you're safe."
"Ryo… please don't promise me anything. You might end up breaking your promises like all the others. All of them that left me." Ruki pleaded.
"What do you mean?" Inquired Ryo.
"My dad, Renamon, that brotherhood guy… and I thought you left me, for Cami… pretty silly huh?"
"So you do like me." Teased Ryo.
"Ryo, you don't understand. I can't… I won't make any promises right now. I'm too confused, I don't even know who to trust." Ruki explained looking into his eyes.
"You don't have to say anything. Just remember how I feel, and it's not going to change."
"Thanks Ryo. Let's get back to Cami's it's getting late." Ruki said.
'One day Ryo, I'll tell you how I feel…' Ruki thought as they walked back to Cami's home.
I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up. My birthday is this Sunday so I'll be busy most of the week. I hoped you liked that chapter. I think some of the scene or POV changes can get quite confusing though. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll respond to it. Well Read and Review! Thanks!
