"Tari! If this is a joke, it's not funny!" Yelled Ryo. "No sign of her!"
"*Sigh* I wish the devas had never shown up," He muttered.
Rika put a comforting hand around his shoulder. "Don't worry. Tari's a tough girl."
"I hope you're right…"
Kazu turned to Kenta, "I did not just see that…"
"See what?"
"Nevermind"
)Meanwhile…(
"Huh?" Tari woke up. The last thing she remembered was feeling lots of pain. Now, she just felt groggy. "What's going on?" Then, she heard something that made her blood freeze.
"Now that we've got the hostage, what'll we do?"
"Wait."
"How long do you think it will take for the humans to figure out it was us?"
"I don't know… We'll just have to wait and see…"
)In Ryo's room…(
The tamers had searched the whole neighborhood, finding nothing.
"This is hopeless!"
"No it isn't!"
Yes it is! Thought Ryo, sitting on the doorstep. He just sighed and stared into space. He wished he had never gone to his room. He wished he had never even heard of the devas. He wished…
"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Something cold touched his cheek.
"Hi Ryo, thought I'd give you something to drink. After all, you could turn into a raisin out here!" Rika handed him an ice-cold soda. "Here, it's cold too!" Instead of making him feel better, the soda made him feel worse. He remembered how Tari had gotten him the soda, and taking it to the bathroom. He remembered how practically the last thing he did was yell at her for video taping him and Rika.
"Hey, dreamer boy, are you going to drink that soda, or dehydrate, hmm?" Rika asked in a sweet voice.
"I think I will drink the soda," muttered Ryo, glugging it down. Rika looked at him. She felt sorry, for all the things she'd said to him, insulting his "perfect-boy" act. And how he put up with it all. Then, in the summer heat, she slipped into a daydream.
)Flashback(
1 "Hey Rika, looking good. You're not going to leave on my account this time, are you?"
2 "Puh-lease, what are you down here for?"
"Gosh Rika, you haven't changed a bit!"
"You haven't changed a bit either! You're just as annoying as ever! What are you doing here anyways?"
(another scene)
"Gosh, I'd better go down for her, she could get seriously hurt down there!" To himself, "She's gonna kill me for this! Plus, I've never met a girl so stubborn! She's gonna kill "
(a few minutes later)
Ryo pulls Rika into the crack.
"Rika! What are you doing here! You could have been killed!"
"You're down here too, so look who's talking!"
(yet another scene…)
"So Rika, what do I get for saving your life, not once, but twice? Twice the reward?"
"How about twice the whooping?"
)Back in reality…(
"Helloooooo… Earth to Rika…" Ryo waved his hand in front of Rika's face. "Is anybody home?"
"Huh? Oh! Hmph!"
"Phew! I was afraid no one was home!"
"Yeah, whatever."
"What do you think?"
"About what?"
"About my sister, Tari."
"I feel…something is …wrong."
"Me too, and you know what?"
"What?"
"Um…nevermind."
"What?! You chicken! You just don't want to tell me! I'll tell you what! You're a pretty brave guy to not quite tell me something, then forget about it! Tell me!" Ryo just chuckled.
"You'll see…you'll see."
Heheheh! What does Ryo want to tell Rika? Keep reading this, and you'll see!
