A/N: Ryo was not meant to have any association with the handsome male character from season 3 Tamers because he is totally infatuated with Ruki as is Jenyra! (Oh yeah, I forgot to tell everyone that I support Ryo/Ruki AND Jenyra/Ruki as well as Takato/Juri, Takeru/Hikari, Takuya/Izumi (duh!) Taishi/Sora, Yamato/Sora, Koushiro/Miyako, Satoru/Miyako and I think that's it!!! Heehee! ^_^
Here is the last paragraphy thing from the last chapter:
Later at night when Izumi and Ami were back in their cabin, Ami demanded Izumi come clean.
"You like him don't you?"
"Ami! I don't like guys! Remember what I told you?"
"But you can't resist him, Izumi! What's his name?"
"It's Ryo," confessed Izumi as she blushed, "But I don't like him!" She reiterated hotly.
"Fine, fine. Sure you don't…"
"I don't., or do I?" Izumi muttered to herself.
"What was that?" Ami asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Go to sleep."
Takuya looked up at the bright blue sky. It was such a lovely pool of azure, with only a few cotton clouds dancing in it.
"Now boarding flight 427 to Hong Kong. Please check in and proceed to gate 331. That's flight 427. Arigatou."
Takuya looked up at the time on the departure screen. It was 3 in the afternoon and he and his dad were about to board a plane to fly to Hong Kong. He was really excited about visiting Hong Kong. It was a different culture to experience with so many common similarities. Not to mention the fact he would finally see his baby cousin. Yet somehow, he felt oddly like he was missing something. The blonde tat annoyed him so flashed across his mind. He shook his head.
"Nah. No way."
"Takuya, we have to go to the gate! Follow me!" said Takuya's father gently. They were walking to the gate when Takuya's phone suddenly rang. Surprised, Takuya fished out his phone from his jacket and answered.
"Moshi moshi."
"Takuya!"
"Junpei?"
"Yes, it's me, I have some very urgent news!"
"Junpei, I'm about to board! You have 3 minutes before I get to the gate!"
"Okay okay, but I think you need to know this! I am calling from basketball camp and Izumi-chan is here." Said the agitated Junpei.
"So? Gomen Junpei but I really don't have time to deal with your love problems!"
"Eck, you don't understand Takuya, I think she likes this guy named Ryo! You know, Ryo Kishida from 6E!? The captain of the basketball team? Class president? Founder of the badminton club?" exclaimed the now exasperated Junpei.
The line was silent for a few moments. Takuya started slowly.
"Listen Junpei,. I have to board now and turn off my cell, call me when I'm in Hong Kong!" replied Takuya as he ended the call.
"Takuya, are you coming?" asked his father as Takuya dashed to the spot behind his father at the gate.
Soon afterward, Takuya found himself seated on the plane, looking down over the large city of Tokyo. Why did Junpei call him about Izumi? Why was he silent when he heard what Junpei had to tell? Ryo was such a good person, Takuya couldn't hate him, but despite himself, Takuya was angry at Ryo for liking Izumi. What authority and nerve did he have to fall for Izumi? Izumi was… Izumi was… Izumi didn't like boys! Or did she? He was confused. Why did he even care? Well, it must be the fact that we've spend so much time in the digital world, that I seem to feel like I am a big brother towards her, even though she's older, Takuya thought to himself. He was really tired and just drifted off to sleep, sticking to the unsatisfying explanation.
Takuya later awoke to someone shaking him.
"Takuya! Takuya! Wake up! We're here!"
"Huh? Oh, really?"1
"Yeah. Come one, lets get off and meet your cousins!" directed Takuya's father as Takuya groggily got up, starched and followed his father. After father and son has retrieved their luggage, they proceeded to walk out to the waiting area. Their eyes scanned the crowds and crowds of people when suddenly somebody shouted.
"Takuya! Takiyuki!" yelled Takuya's aunt as she ran over with three cousins and an uncle of Takuya trailing her. She gave both Takuya and his father a big squeeze followed by a big kiss.
"My, how you have grown, Takuya! The last time I saw you was when you were still in diapers!"
Takuya's oldest cousin, Makoto, sniggered. Takuya's two other cousins, Oki who was 11, and Kentaro who was 2 both took Takuya's hand as they walked with him. His aunt's name was Aiko and his uncle, Hiroyuki began their catch up talk with Takuya's father on the way back to their van in the parking lot, well sort of a parking lot. It was such a small area with so many speed bumps and levels. Takuya sat next to his father as the van started. As they made their way out of the parking area, he could see palm trees and cardboard flamingos ahead of them beside the road. There were kind of rocky, mini-mountains as they drove closer to the city. He was amazed by the amount of bridges that had to be crossed to get somewhere, he counted about three in total. He could the see the ocean, although it was full of litter made by humans, there was beauty somewhere deep within. Just like Izumi. Er, just like his mother, not Izumi, Takuya changed his mind. Other than the quick chatter between Takuya's father and his aunt and uncle, the back seat where the kids were sitting were inevitably silent.. There were a lot of buses on the road to and from the airport but that was no surprise as Hong Kong was such a busy and crowded place. Their van was making their way to Central HK, a very busy business and shop district where his aunt and uncle lived. There were so many people walking on the streets and so many cars on the road as life whizzed by. Every once in a while, Takuya would be startled out of his train of thought when he heard a honk or a bell of some sort. However, the van of weary travelers soon arrived at the apartment.
"Ah! It's good to be home!" exclaimed Aiko as she opened the door and dropped onto the couch.
"We'll show you you're rooms! Takuya, you'll be sleeping in Makoto's room and your father will be sleeping in Kentaro's room. We have tatami beds set up for you." Exclaimed Hiroyuki.
After Takuya and his father unpacked, Aiko allowed Oki to show Takuya and his father around the city. It was smouldering hot outside in the summer sun and Takuya was quite relieved to get back to his aunt and uncle's air conditioned apartment unit for dinner. They had a simple meal of chicken and salmon teriyaki of course, served with cooled miso, nice salad and green tea ice cream for dessert. After the hearty meal, the family sat down by the TV to watch the evening news and do something leisurely and relaxing. Takuya and Oki played with Kentaro as Makoto listened to his music.
That night, Takuya lay there on his tatami looking up at the white plastered ceiling. Did he care for a certain blue eyed blonde? Or was his boyhood getting to the better of him? He would soon find out.
The next morning, Takuya was trying in vain attempt to read a newspaper article in Chinese with a picture of Ryo in it. Some of the words had the same meanings but some of them were just to hard. Of course, this was the highest level of Japanese, so instead, Oki as well as Makoto, with some convincing from his sister, helped Takuya decipher the news.
"Boy basketball star, Ryo Atsuki shows off his skills at local basketball camp in Japan. Sparks wonderment of if a Japanese basketball player will be drafted in the NBA following the mainstream Chinese basketball players drafted into the NBA."
Takuya felt a bit of anger surge through his veins as he got up. He heard his cell phone ring and looked down at the display. It was Junpei.
Will Takuya lose his temper? Will he finally realize who he loves?
A\N: Thanks for the reviews even though I only have three so far but better than none… I guess since season four isn't in America yet people aren't so hyped about the couples. Sorry to DigiDestined of Courage and my friend Alice about the fact that I actually support Ryo or Jenyra/Ruki! While both of you support Takato/Ruki! Heh! Also, thanks to my friend J who helped me out with the HK descriptions as I have never been there even though I'm Chinese!
