Hmm… not much to say… this might get a little confusing since there are so many sequences. Thanks to CobaltMarineAngemon and Kawaii Dragon:) *hugs*
Kawaii- glad your back! Yup I am developing the Ryuki, but there are gonna be more road blocks because *thinks* cause I'm evil! lol (j/k)
CobaltMarineAngemon- Yup! I liked the chapter title too… I dunno where I got it from though.

"Ariah! Room #9 is prepared!" Alexis called as she stepped out of a room full of misty blue fog.
"Thank you Alexis, now hand me the two visicinous sticks." She ordered.
"What's going to happen know?" Ryo asked.
"These visicinous sticks, enable a person to see into a person's mind."
"I don't want anyone to look into my mind." Exclaimed Ruki as she jumped out of her seat.
"It's alright Ruki. You can look into my mind… see if there's anything interesting in it." He smirked.
" So you'll be looking through Ryo's mind first. Is that correct Ruki?" Ariah asked as she handed them both a glowing translucent stick.
"Yeah I guess. Probably nothing I don't know already." Ruki shrugged as she followed Ariah, Alexis and Ryo into room #9.
"Cami taught you both to focus, right?"
"Yeah." The two said in unison.
"Well, Ruki lie down on this wooden mat, and Ryo go lie down on the one on the other side." She ordered.
'I wonder what's going to happen… what's Ruki going to see?' Ryo asked himself mentally as he tried to do as Ariah instructed.
Suddenly Ryo lost his consciousness and Ruki was now in a child's playground, where a young boy not much older than seven sat alone in the park. Oddly enough the young boy had the bluest eyes and the scruffiest hair.
'Could that be Ryo? It couldn't be, he seems so sad and he's all by himself.'
"Hello. Is your name Ryo by any chance?" Ruki asked.
"Yes, who are you?" the little boy asked meekly.
"My name is Ruki, it was just that you looked so sad… What's wrong?"
"Well, my mommy was missing for a couple of days and my daddy came home and he smelled like Drunk! Then he told me mommy's gone and a bug called cancer…. It… killed her!
"I'm so sorry… Why are you all alone right now? It's not safe out here." Ruki said as she comforted the younger Ryo, while her voice remained the same.
"I can't, if I go home, my daddy's gonna hurt me again." he pleaded rolling up his sleeve to reveal multiple cuts and bruises.
'Oh my god… poor Ryo. I never knew he had that kind of life. I just sort of assumed that his life was perfect…'
Next she was sent to the digimon card game tournament that took place 2 years ago. There were thousand of people gathering around watching the card game between Ryo and Ruki.
Out of no where, a screaming fan-girl yelled out, "Go Ryo! I love you!!!!"
'You know… I feel kind of sorry for the guy with all those girls after him. I'm surprised he hasn't gone out with any of them…'
There was a huge uproar in the volume, intensity filled the room and suddenly someone walked right through her.
'What the hell just happened? Am I some sort of ghost?' Ruki thought angrily as she glared at a man.
"No, you're not a ghost. You're not allowed to talk or be 'part' of this particulate memory sequence." A voice answered.
"Umm.. okay?" Ruki said still confused.
The announcer and spectators sat full of tension as Ryo placed a card down, not knowing that it would win the game. Ruki watched her younger self, face the defeat.
"Great game. You were awesome." Ryo complimented.
"Whatever." Her younger self said as she walked away.
Ruki saw the look in Ryo's eyes, a bit of hurt, yet amazed at something.
"Hey Ryo!" the girl who was screaming in the stands called.
"Hey Melinda. I need to talk to you about something important."
"Sure thing sweetheart. You were awesome out there." She cheered.
"It's about us…" Ryo started.
"Oh, yeah. I know. Some people started calling you the legendary tamer. So know I'm the legendary tamer's girlfriend!" Melinda giggled in a high pitch tone.
"It's not that. I do care about you… but not in the way I thought I did."
"What do you mean?" she asked tears forming in the back of her eyes.
"I know who I want to be with. She doesn't know it yet, but there's something about her that makes me feel different from everyone else." Ryo tried to explain calmly.
"So you're dumping me for another girl?" Melinda cried as tears ran freely down her face.
"I'm not dumping you for her. I don't even know her very well. That's not the point. I'm giving you the change to leave me. You deserve much better than me and I want you to find someone who'll love you the way you love them." He continued.
"Thanks Ryo. I'll never forget you… Goodbye…" Melinda said mournfully as she walked out of the building.
'Wow. I wonder who that girl was that he was talking about. Must have been someone really special. But why isn't he still looking for her?' Ruki thought to herself.
"Hello!" Ryo said to the younger version of Ruki.
"What do you want? Are you trying to rub it in my face that you're the winner." She glared at him.
"No. It's just that you're an amazing person. With or without the cards. You've got something special. Hold onto it." Ryo stated as he walked away.
The last memory sequence was placed on a beautiful, calm, placid brook. Beside it was her exact self just gazing at the scenery, hidden in the shadows of the forest was Ryo silently looking at her.
'We've never been in this area before… so why is it a memory?'
"Ryo's dream is a big part of his memory. If you listen carefully enough, you can hear his thoughts." The same voice as before called out.
She listened and her Ryo think. " God, I knew she was beautiful before, but when she's so happy she's absolutely indescribable."
After 5 minutes of deep thinking Ryo finally walked towards the 'dream' Ruki as the real one looked on.
"Ruki…"
"What's wrong Ryo?"
"My heart. When it's with you the world stops and all I can think about is you…. How to cherish, care about, just wishing you felt the same way too.
'I knew he liked me, but never that much. I feel so horrible, he actually *cares*.' Ruki thought to herself although feeling a little guilty.
The last words were cut off, but she saw Ryo and herself embrace. There was something wrong though, Ryo looked like he was fighting with something inside of him. The sky turned red and Ryo crumbled onto the floor. The 'dream' Ruki rushed to his side, but as he looked at her, his eyes flashed red and black as he stabbed her through the heart. Later he resumed back to normal.
She heard him think once again, ' Oh my god. How could I have done that? I killed the one girl I've been waiting for, the one girl I would do anything for…' as he realized what just happened.
'What happened? Ryo lost control of something inside of him. No wonder why he was acting so strangely these past few days, the poor guy. I have to tell him how I feel…' Ruki concluded as she was transported back to reality.
How'd you like that? Sorry if it was a little confusing…. But all of it was about Ryo's past. I'm not sure if all of the facts are correct since there's not much background on him. I think this was one of my worst chapters… eee I might re-write this chapter… anyways, give me some feed-back.
