Disclaimer: Hi everyone it's me and I'm back with Chapter six of this story!

Guilmon: Gee, I was thinking that what after Rika did to you, you would be out of commission for a while.

Me: Well what can I say, my family are fast healers ^__^!

Rika: Yeah well it's a good thing you had Takato do the right thing and tell off the sock puppet; otherwise you'd still be all banged up!

Me: ……well of course I did, I had tons of Rukato fans breathing down my neck!

Rika: Oh yeah that's right, * to the readers* Thanks for the help everyone!

Me: Yeah thanks, now on with Chapter six: Rika's dilemma

Rika: My What!?

Me: Trust me Rika trust me……

Chapter six: Rika's dilemma

She was running away from the scene, one that would always be with her no matter what. The one boy she had ever been interested in, the only one to ever capture her heart had been kissing Jeri. Rika was crying openly, running through the streets back to her house. People were staring at her, some showing pity on their faces, while others seemed like they were going to laugh. Her house came into view now, even through her tear stained eyes she could see her grandmother sitting out near the small fishpond. She ran harder than she thought possible, only stopping when she was right in front of her grandmother. " Rika dear what's wrong?" she asked. Rika didn't answer; instead she threw herself onto her grandmother's shoulder and cried more. " I lost him, I lost him," she kept saying in-between sobs. Her grandmother didn't know what she was talking about, but she did know that something was wrong. Wrapping her arms around her granddaughter, she proceeded to rock her back and forth, gently quieting her. " Now then," she began when Rika had stopped, " why did you come running back here in tears? Weren't you going to that Takato boy's house?" Rika looked down and in a soft voice said, " He is the reason." " Tell me everything," she said to Rika while sitting down once more. Rika took a deep breath and slowly began to explain what had happened in the last hour.

" And then there they were kissing each other like there was no tomorrow," Rika finished while burying her head into her grandmother's shoulder. Rika's grandmother wrapped her hands around her and quietly tried to soothe her. " So you love that Takato boy don't you Rika my dear," she whispered. Rika looked up and nodded at her grandmother. " Yeah I like him," she whispered, " just like his dino boy likes Renamon." Her grandmother looked at her wide-eyed at this piece of information. " I didn't know Guilmon liked your Renamon, tell me, does she know?" Rika couldn't help but smirk before she answered her. " Oh Renamon knows, that's why they are together now as a couple." Rika stifled a laugh as her grandmother did a double take, and then smiled warmly. " I will have to congratulate her and Guilmon next time I see them," she said. Rika smiled herself, but then looked down yet again when she remembered her predicament. Her grandmother sensed this, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. " My grandchild I can give you only this advice," she said while getting up to go inside, " Running from a problem now is always the first step of running from everything in the future, but to face the problem, that is the first step of a wondrous life." With those words said she slowly walked inside, leaving Rika to her thoughts.

Meanwhile while Rika was having her little conversation with her grandmother, Takato had finally calmed down Jeri while she was crying. He stood in the door waving to her as she left with Leomon who had just a few minutes ago came down from upstairs with Guilmon. Little had Takato known that Renamon was there as well, but hiding behind the door to the closet. " That takes care of that," she heard Takato say quietly. " How did it go Takato?" asked Guilmon. " It wasn't bad that much, but I love Rika too much to just drop her for Jeri." Renamon's heart leapt for joy after hearing that small statement. So he still loves Rika! That means the plan is still on, only Rika saw Jeri kissing him so it will be difficult, she thought. But then again, wasn't she related to kitsunes? Those mythical foxes reveled in tricks and pranks, and she did have a few tricks in her that was sure to get the two together! Smiling to herself she watched as Takato went to the stairs, apparently going back to his room. Her mate stopped and shot a quick glance at where she hid, giving her a small grin that she was fond of. She smiled back and watched as Guilmon ran up the stairs after Takato. She was about to leave when a sudden yell from upstairs grabbed her attention. " AHHH MY ROOM!!!" yelled Takato. Renamon giggled at the sudden outburst, finding humor in the fact that Guilmon would have to explain what happened. " Good luck my love," she said before phasing out of the house.

Rika was slowly walking through the park, still deep in thought at what her grandmother had said to her. " Running from a problem now is always the first step of running from everything in the future, but to face the problem, that is the first step of a wondrous life." The words continued to echo in her head, causing her at one point to grab it as if in pain. I love Takato, but he was kissing Jeri, does that meen I'll never be able to tell him how I feel? she thought. Shaking her head, she cleared her mind before continuing her walk. " Gogglehead why were you doing that?" she whispered to herself. She continued on like that, so lost in thought that she didn't see the figure appear next to her. " Are you alright Rika?" She jumped and let out a small shriek before spinning around and finding herself looking right into her partner's eyes. " Renamon don't ever do that again!" she yelled while trying to catch her breath. " I am sorry Rika I promise never to do that again," she stated. " It's alright, no harm done." " Rika?" " Yes?" " Are you going back to Takato's house?" Rika gave her partner a confused glance. " What makes you say that?" she asked. " You're walking towards it." Rika looked up from the sidewalk and blushed, indeed she had been going towards his house. It was once again in view and the park was now behind them. " Well since your already this far, why don't you give it a second chance?" Rika looked at her partner and then at Takato's house. " I think I will Renamon," she said, " I think I will."

Guilmon felt like he was going to sweat to death. For the last five minutes Takato had been ranting and raving about his room being destroyed. Right now if Terriermon was here he would be more scared of Takato than princess pretty pants! " I can't believe what you did to my room, how could you do this?!" " Um well me and Renamon.." he didn't get to finish because Takato gave him a shocked look. " What were you two doing in my room?!" " We had a small…accident," he said. Takato looked at his partner and then shock his head. " Next time you two have your differences take it outside got me?" Guilmon nodded and then tackled his tamer. " C'mon Guilmon this isn't the time to wrestle," Takato laughed. " Aww but we never do wrestle anymore," he replied. " I know boy it's just that I'm getting older so I'm more mature." " more mature? You mean what I went through?" Takato nodded and Guilmon shuddered at the memory, he remembered becoming older, his voice had been extra squeaky for a few days at one time. Takato chuckled but then quieted down when a knock came on the door. Who is that? he wondered while running down the stairs. His thoughts were answered however when he pulled open the door. " Hi there…" he never finished his greeting, for standing no more than a foot away was Rika.
