A/N Hiya! I'm sooooo bored, and ff.net is down.. ::sigh:: So, here it is, my......disclaimer! Hehe, did i have you going? well, who got my joke? (((silence))) i never knew silence was so...deafening. Okay: I DO not Own Digimon! And note to memory: I kno that Ryo is 4 years older than Rika in the Japanese Version. I kno but for this romance, let it only be a few months. I need them to be closer in age to make my fic work. So, ne one else, plz, i don't need reminding. Plz, don't flame. Flames are only good for a few things which include: Marshmallows! S'mores! Barbecue! Oh, great, now I'm hungry... So if you flame, I will use it to roast my marshmallows! (((stomach growls))) and I'm hungry. Maybe I won't write this chapter...

Rika: I will send you to another galaxy! I'll send you there for good. (((kicks her foot out, narrowly missing Angel's face)))

A/N-Help!!

Ryo: Calm down, pumpkin.

Rika: :::blushes:::

A/N- (((ducks to miss a karate chop from Rika))) I'll be writing real fast......

Summer Vacation: One Hell of a Day: Chapter 2

Ryo Akiyama kept glancing at Rika, worry clear on his handsome features.

"Are you in the mood to talk or not?"

Rika sat as quietly as possible, her fists clenching and unclenching.

"I was wondering. I mean, you mad at me or something?"

Rika was muttering under her breath, so even Ryo who was a few inches from her couldn't hear.

"Uh, Rika?"

"Oh my God!!! I have never met someone who asks as many questions as you do!!! Jeez, does silence mean anything to you!!!!!!"

All of the kids sitting around the pair turned and began to stare.

"Uh, calm down, Rika. I was just wondering if you were okay..."

"Why do you care so much?!!!! I'm perfectly fine, Mr. Legendary Tamer Who Talks Too Much For His Own Good!"

Rika turned to stare at the kids and heard the silence of nearly the whole bus.

"What are you ALL looking at???"

The kids all turned away nervously.

"Now, Ryo Akiyama, don't talk to me for the rest of this stupid bus ride!!!!!"

"Um, uh, sorry to interrupt..."

"What do YOU want, you stupid good for nothing idiot, Kazu?!!!!!!!"

"Uh, Rika, I think you'd better calm down..."

"Stay out of this, Jeri! And now as I was saying..."

Rika paused. She saw the hurt look in Ryo's cerulean colored eyes. Pig-headed Kazu even had a trace of hurt on his face.

"Rika!"

Rika turned ready to burst out when an arm flashed and yanked her down in her seat.

"Jeri, can I switch seats with you? Thanks."

Jeri had no time to reply before Kila slid into the seat and Jeri reluctantly sat with Jodie. Rika sat, saying nothing at first and Kila turned in the seat to face Kazu and Ryo.

"Sorry bout that guys."

Kila turned back around.

"Rika, calm down. Ryo was just asking how you were. You don't have to go and bite the poor guy's head off. Look, calm down."

"I don't need you to tell me to calm down! Just go away!"

Rika glanced into a pair of deep black eyes.

"What, are you expecting me to apologize? Cause if that's what you're waiting for, you've got another thing coming!"

A look of hurt washed over Kila's gentle face.

Ryo's head popped up.

"Hey, Kila, come and sit by me. Best to leave the Digimon Queen to her own devices."

Rika's violet colored eyes flashed.

"I don't need you giving everyone advice on me! What do you think? You know me well? Well, you don't!"

Kila switched seats with Jeri but Rika didn't even notice until Jeri spoke up.

"Uh, Rika? Are you mad at me? Can I talk to you?"

Rika's eyes softened.

"I'm not mad at you, Jeri."

Rika turned to Jeri.

"Why?"

"Well, um, you just seem mad at everyone. I was hoping you weren't mad at me. You're like one of my best friends."

"Really, Jeri?"

"Of course, Rika. You're always so nice to me. But, why'd you hurt Kila's feelings? And Ryo's and Kazu's? Well, I'm not worried about Kazu as much but Ryo is your good friend. And Kila's so nice and gentle. I hope you didn't hurt her feelings too much."

Oh man, Rika thought, I didn't even realize I hurt her feelings. Or Ryo's. And even Kazu. I gotta stop being so rude and cruel. Try and be nice. Like Jeri. I'll try harder when we get to camp. I wish Renamon were here.

***

But what Rika didn't know was that Renamon would be waiting for her at camp. As were all the digimon tamer's partners. Even Monodramon was there. Calumon had asked them all along.

***

Rika smiled.

"You're right, Jeri."

She turned in her seat.

"Sorry, Ryo. You too, Kazu."

Rika gulped. Would they accept her apology?

"No problem, Rika."

Ryo gave her thumbs-up.

"Sorry I interrupted. Friends?"

Kazu stuck his hand out and flinched as Rika's hand neared his. His face relaxed as Rika firmly shook his.

"We're here. Everyone off the bus! You're luggage will be near the holding cell of the bus."

A woman with red hair to her shoulders stood, introduced herself as the camp director and directed everyone off the bus. Everyone got off and as Rika came off behind Jeri, she could see Henry and Takato among the group of bustled campers, ready to go and looking for luggage.

"Welcome to Camp Rowley! (A/N Gomen, I'm having a bit of writer's cramp. I'll re-post this chapter later if someone sends me a good name for the camp.) My name is Karen. (A/N Thinking of Medabots at the time. You know who I'm talking about. Gomen, my brain is broken....) Please go to one of the counselors, they will point you in the right direction. You will have one counselor in your cabin most of the time. I will also be around if you have any questions."

Karen shut off her megaphone and the kids continued to stream off the bus.

"Rika?"

Rika turned with her suitcase in hand.

"Yes?"

"Our cabin is number 3. It's down the right path and to the left. It's the first cabin on that trail. And there will be 5 boys in our cabin and 4 girls. It's all of us Tamers, besides Kila and Jodie."

"Oh that's really cool...."

Great, now I'll have to sleep in the same cabin as Ryo, Rika thought, this just keeps getting better and better.

Jeri and Rika walked to their cabin, dragging their luggage behind them. When they reached it, Rika opened the wooden door. Henry and Takato were already poking around the cabin. Takato and Henry had already claimed two bunks, they were bunking together. Suddenly, Kila and Jodie appeared with a backpack and a suitcase each.

"Hey, you choose bunkies yet? Okay, guess not. C'mon, Jeri, you can bunk with me."

Rika chuckled to herself. Jodie's red, bouncy, curly hair matched her personality.

"Hey, Kila. How bout you and I bunk? Girls might as well stick together."

Kila looked a bit taken aback.

"Uh, s-sure thing, R-Rika."

"Okay, we claim these 2 bunks. Top or bottom?"

Rika looked at Kila.

"Uh, I like the top. That okay with you?"

"That's fine. I like the bottom better."

Rika smiled as she put her stuff on the bottom. She put her suitcase under the bed. Kila slid hers next to it. Rika checked the lay out of the cabin. The cabin had 5 sets of bunk beds. The bottom near the door had a curtain to be drawn around it. Soon, Ryo, Kazu, and Kenta arrived. Ryo took the top bunk that was over the bottom curtained one near the door, closest to Rika and Kila. Kenta and Kazu took the bunk which was near the back wall of the cabin. Then, a female counselor entered with a duffel. She had brown curly hair to her elbows. She had shorts and a tee-shirt with the camp name and logo.

"Hi, everyone. I'm Gina and am in a bit of a rush so you can tell me your name and biography after dinner. Dinner's in 2 hours at 5 and I will be back 15 minutes before 5 so you can be ready to jet. Until then, explore camp. Have fun till then!"

Gina left with another whirl of activity.

"Okay then."

"Yeah, you've got a point, Takato. Um, what shall we do?"

Jeri looked around.

"A hike?"

Kila waited for someone to shoot down her idea.

"Sure, sounds like a plan to me."

Henry shot Kila a shy smile, causing her to blush. The other kids were oblivious to the state Henry and Kila were in, excluding the watchful eyes of Ryo and Rika. Kila and Henry led the way through the forest. Rika walked behind them as they chatted happily and Rika smiled. Ryo came up next to her and stayed in stride with her.

"Is it just me or does Henry have a crush on Kila?"

"I would say it was your eyes but I see it too. And by the way, gomen for my behavior on the bus ride. I really was well, obnoxious."

"No problem, Rika. Besides, you and I just do that on instinct..."

"Rika! Over here!"

"Oh my gosh, Calumon?"

"Yup-yup Rika-Rika! Look, I brought some friends along!"

Rika paused, she saw Jodie's mouth open in alarm at the little digimon who was hopping up and down like crazy. She turned to see Kila's reaction but was completely astonished when Kila burst into a fit of giggles.

"Oh my gosh, you're Calumon?"

"Yup-yup! And who are you?"
Calumon jumped into the air and was kept afloat with his ears as he stared at Kila.

"I'm Kila."

"I'm Calumon. Do you like cream puffs?"

Kila giggled.

"You're a funny little digimon."

"You know about digimon?"

Ryo was in complete shock as was Rika.

"Know about them? I have my own digimon. And a red D-Arc. Wait, I hear him now."

"Him?"

Rika's eyebrows raised in disbelief. Kila was so quiet and she had a digimon. Nothing was surprising...

"Here he is..."

Kila grinned widely.

"Meet my best friend, Wolfmon."

Rika pulled out her digivice.

"Wolfmon. Data-type Beast digimon. Champion level. His attack is Wolf Blast where a mirror like image of Wolfmon will appear and attack his opponent mercilessly. He's cool."

Rika got a good look at this digimon. (A/N Grey Wolf from Monster Ranch kinda fits the image in my imagination.) He looked in perfect condition to battle.

"Oh, then I guess you can meet my digimon. I have a lime green D-Arc."

A ball of what looked like purple fur came flying out of the wood, in the direction from which Wolfmon had come. Ryo checked his digivice.

"Kitamon. Data-type Cat digimon. Champion level. Her special attack is Black Crescent. This attack will obliterate with thousands of small black and silver crescent moons."

Kitamon looked a lot like a Gatomon except the colors were exact opposites. Kitamon was a light purple color and her tail was composed of white and light purple stripes with a tail rings. She had dark pink and purple gloves and 2 pairs of wings growing out of her back which were green sword-like blades.

"Another Champion level?"

The two new digimon continued along with the tamers and Calumon until they stood in a deeper part of the forest. Then, Renamon, Gardromon, Monodramon, Terriermon, Guilmon, MarineAngemon, and Leomon (A/N I know, my explanation: He was re-born through Jeri's wish for him to live and a Digi-Gnome.) stood in the clearing. The tamers happily reunited with their digimon.

"This was all your doing, wasn't it, Calumon?"

"Yes it was? Why? You mad at me?"
Rika picked up the little digimon and hugged him.

"Thanks so much, Calu. I didn't want to miss Renamon for two whole weeks."

"No problemo, Rika!"

Kila was chatting with Terriermon and Henry. Kila went to check her watch. It read 4:35PM.

"Oh my gosh, we've got to go if we don't wanna be late for dinner!"

Kila quickly said her good-bye to Wolfmon and Terriermon. They ran all the way back to camp after everyone said their good-byes.

"We made it!"

Jodie panted. Kila checked her watch. It was 4:50. They'd have to run to their cabin. Gina was just coming down the steps from their cabin.

"We're here, Gina!"

"Hi, guys. Shall we go to dinner?"

Rika caught her breath as they walked to the Mess Hall. Ryo walked in front of her. She had to admit. Ryo was definitely cute.

"Yo, Rika!"

Rika looked up and met Ryo's cerulean colored eyes. He smiled. She blushed slightly. Just having him stare at her was making her blush. Pull yourself together...

"What are you looking at?"

Ryo blushed.

"Oh my gosh, the Legendary Tamer actually blushes. I'm impressed. I thought you were an alien or something."

"Sit by me?"

Rika almost giggled at the hopeful look in Ryo's eyes. He looked like a cute little puppy that you just couldn't refuse. Even she had to admit, he was cute.

"Well, are you gonna bother me the rest of the time? Anymore surprises? Do you like me or something? I suppose I could sit by you."

"Great."

Rika hid her grin from Ryo. Ryo was fighting the urge to blush again.

"Now, campers, we have a cabin table. We'd be that one over there."

They joined the growing line of hungry campers.

"This reminds me a lot of cafeteria food."

Takato continued to look on disgust.

"It might not be all bad."

"I think you're wrong, Jeri."

Kila picked up a grill cheese and sniffed it.

"Looks safe. Smells okay."

"Too bad Guilmon's not here. He'd love this array of disgusting food..."

Jeri and Kila giggled. Kila's expression changed to one o disgust when they sat down.

"Kazu, why did you get so much food?"

Kila looked at Kazu's tray which was piled with UFOs. (A/N Unidentified Food Objects.) Jodie looked at the food, a look of amusement crossing her face. She took her fork away from the salad she was about to eat and poked some red gooey junk. She went to remove her fork and to her dismay...

"It's stuck."

Jodie began to pull on the fork and fell off her chair and landed on the floor. Kazu looked at her apologetically.

"Need a hand? I'll get you another fork."

Kazu helped Jodie up. Jodie thanked him and he went for a fork. He returned and Jodie went back to her salad. Kazu had lost his appetite and began to eat the cookies he had gotten and the slice of cake.

Rika was across from Kila and was attempting to take a bite of her PB&J sandwich. Then she saw Jodie get her fork stuck and decided to save her teeth. She pushed the sandwich and tray away.

"Want a cookie?"

Ryo held a chocolate chip cookie up in front of her.

"Thanks."

She began to chew on it thoughtfully.

"Taste good?"

"Yeah. Can I have another?"

"Sure."

Rika smiled as she took another cookie. Henry was putting his food into a paper bag.

"What are you doing?"
"Packing food for Terriermon and the other digimon."

"Oh, I see."
"Here add this."

Kila handed Henry a grill cheese sandwich that hadn't been touched.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I just remember I'm highly allergic."

"To grill cheese?"

"No, to gross camp food."

Rika laughed. Later, after dinner was over, there was another hour before lights out. Kenta clutched his stomach.

"I knew I shouldn't of touched that red stuff."

"What were you thinking?"

Kila looked at him, her eyebrows raised.

"I thought it might have been better than cafeteria food. I think I'd better go to the Infirmary. Can you give MarineAngemon the cookies I saved him?"

He handed the cookies to Kila.

"Want me to come with you?"

Kazu looked at his friend, concern crossing his face.

"I'll come too."

Jodie smiled. She had a definite crush on Kazu. He was so cute.

"Well, see ya later."

The other tamers went for the woods and began their hike. Their digimon were waiting for them.

"You brought food!"

Guilmon took the food from Takato and began to chow down on the contents. Terriermon joined him as did Monodramon.

"I never knew Monodramon ate that kind of...stuff."

Rika looked at Ryo for an explanation.

"Cyberdramon wouldn't eat that but Monodramon's a bottomless pit."

Rika giggled.

Soon, all the food was gone and all the digimon were satisfied.

"Good night, Takatomon..."

Guilmon fell asleep followed by the other digimon. The tamers left in silence. Henry walked with Kila. They arrived back at the cabin and the others got ready for bed. Henry couldn't sleep and saw Kila sitting on her bunk. Henry climbed the ladder and tried to not wake the sleeping Rika. The bunk creaked as he sat next to her.

"Can't you sleep?"
"No, not really, Henry."

"Tell me about Wolfmon. Is he a good digimon?"
"Yeah, my mom thinks he's a dog."

"You have any sisters? Or brothers?"

"My little sister, Kusanagi, died when she was 6 from cancer. My dad passed away and after my sister died, my mom got a good paying job and really got more absorbed into her work. I was only 10 at the time, why would I notice the difference? I mean, no one cared how I felt about no love and the loss of half of my family. So, I learned to be a loner. I rarely tell anyone this stuff, Henry. But, you seem like a person I can trust. I mean, you're so nice. Even when I met you in school, you were nice to me since no one really noticed me and didn't seem to care if I was there or not. I always felt alone. I mean if no one cared about my feelings, why should I bother? "

Henry nodded and saw tears glimmering in the depths of Kila's eyes. Henry hugged her before he could stop himself. Kila hugged him back to his surprise.

"Thanks for talking with me, Henry."

"No problem." Henry climbed down from the bunk and climbed up to his bunk.
"Oyasuminasai, Henry."

"Oyasuminasai, Kila."

Henry fell asleep as did Kila. Rika smiled. She had heard the conversation between Kila and Henry. She thought now that Henry definitely had a crush on Kila. She'd ask him the next day. Just before she was about to fall asleep, she thought of Ryo and his sudden interest in her. I wonder... Rika kicked back the covers and stood on tiptoe as she went by Ryo's bunk. His face looked so peaceful. She kissed his cheek softly. Sweet dreams, Ryo... I love you. With that, Rika crept back to her bed and fell asleep in an instant.

Ryo opened his eyes. He touched his cheek where Rika had left a sweet kiss.

"God, I love that girl..."

He smiled and got out of bed. He jumped to the floor without a sound. He walked to Rika's bunk and watched her. She was an angel. Would she ever want to be his? Then he heard her murmur something.

"You know what, Ryo?"

He looked in surprise and saw Rika must be talking in her sleep.

"What?"

Ryo whispered as soft as he could.

"You're cute. Especially when you blush..."

Ryo blushed red. Was she dreaming about him?

A/N How was that as the next chapter? Hope it wasn't a let down. Plz remember to review.

Rika: You made me kiss him?

A/N- Oh boy.......Review and BTW, oyasuminasai means good night in Japanese.

Rika: I'm gonna put you to sleep for good!

A/N- HELP!!!!!!!!!!! And sorry if there wasn't a lot of Ryuki in this chapter. I'll try and do better next chapter. (((runs from Rika)))
