Chapter ~4~ New Circumstances; Let's celebrate!.by singing!?
~Ruki~
With all the basic rules laid, they started. Ruki was having the upper hand; her Renamon was almost at full power, she only needed one more card before she can bio-evolve into Sakuyamon, her mega form. It was her turn, Ruki decides to pick a card, instead of attacking. Not at all believing her luck, she drew the last card she so needed. Now all she had to do was use it then he's be goner.
Then she noticed that Ryo was smiling rather evilly. She narrowed her eyes. There was definitely something up his sleeve. It's making her rather uneasy. She saw him raise a card, she couldn't see what it was but she can tell that it would make his Monochomon (I'm sorry that it isn't the correct spelling) very strong.
~Ryo~
He saw the curious gleam in Ruki's eyes. He was sure she also saw his gleam too, it's just as well that she doesn't know what it means. Ryo looked down at his card, one of which he didn't usually use, but since he wants to win the match so much and Ruki is so good, he's going to.
With great satisfaction, he put down his last card. The most impossibly rare Bio-evolve card. "Monochomon, bio-evolves to Cyberdramon!" he exclaims with triumph, he loves this part, "Since he is a mega, your champion is no match, baby kitty, give it up."
He saw Ruki's new expression of disbelieve. She definitely doesn't like losing, Ryo decided as he glanced her direction again, the look of disbelieve disappeared, she was starting furiously at a card in her hand. Curious, he reached over to take a better look at the card. It was another Bio-evolve Card. This time Ryo was flabbergasted. Ruki owned one of the only 3 bio-evolves ever to be printed. Japan printed the first one, America the second, and the third by Hong Kong. The three cards were prizes to the winners of the different tournaments held in those three countries (in Hong Kong's case, city). You had to be a country champion to win this card.
"You are the winner of the American tournament." Ryo said accusingly and loud enough for the other 'Tamers' to hear him. He heard them gasp, or at least the girls did.
Ruki nodded at him, coldly, slowly putting her cards away.
"Why the HELL didn't you tell me!!!" Ryo shouted.
"Why should I!? You never asked!" she retorted.
"She has a point." Ryo heard Kenta say behind him. Ryo's eye's rolled heaven-ward. Lord, I'm surrounded by idiots, he thought the infamous saying, Hell, I'm seeming like one too! Ruki is one of the three champions. Ruki is one of the three champions. Ruki is one of the three champions. SHIT! It's so not fair. god, wait until the girls find out, they'll have a field day.
Ryo was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice Ruki still standing there expectantly; Ryo's friends did notice though, they also stood up and waited for Ryo to snap out of his daydreaming. He did as required.
"Guys, this is Ruki Makino, she's gonna be our new team mate." He said to his friends, then to Ruki, he said, "These people are the 'Tamers', Takato and Jenrya," he pointed them out, "are leaders, we're special, we have two. And Jeri is over there, beside Kikuyu, by the way, as you may have noticed, Jeri's Takato's girl and Kikuyu's Jenrya's girlfriend, so basically there's only me, Kenta and Kazu left." Everyone laughed cheerfully, "so, kitty, who do you chose?" Ryo asked as he put his arm around her shoulder.
"No one." She shrugged his arm off.
"Man, little lady, your hell on a guy's ego." Jenrya stated rather happily.
"Jenrya!" Kikuyu complained, "you sound so old!"
Chuckling, he said, "yeah so? I thought you liked mature guys."
Laughingly she said, "I still do."
"Ewww! Kenta exclaims, "Get a room!"
"After you get MARRIED!" Kazu added.
"What do you say?" Jenrya asked Kikuyu, who looked like she was think very hard.
"Wedding dresses take a long time to get though." she finally answered.
"So how 'bout settlin' for a drink!?" Ryo asks, "all on me!"
They cheered, and so the festive evening began.
~Ruki~ *Outside a Karaoke Bar*
After supper, Ryo suggested for them to go to a karaoke, no one complained.
"Ryo!" Takato yells over the loud noise, "Why are we at a club!?"
"We've never been to this one before!" Jenrya yells also, because of the loud music.
"Wanna try it? You might like the free drinks and snacks."
"Com'n there ain't no such things in this money-thriving world any more." Kenta said.
"Well, when you have nice brothers that let you into their bar."
"COOL!!" Kazu exclaims.
"You're joking right?" Takato asks just to make sure.
"Nope," Ryo answered as they walked into the bar, waving and greeting to all sorts of people, "enjoy."
Making a whooping sound Kazu and Kenta dashed to a bunch of girls by the corner, whom didn't look to enthusiastic to see two corny teenagers rush up to them.
As for the rest, they headed, also, towards a group in the corner, however, this time, the group was greeted with open arms.
"I thought you'd never come." Kyo said to his brother.
"What can I say?" Ryo said in a way of greeting, "It's a festive night; we won the tournament- again."
Kyo chuckles, "come sit," he gestures the empty seats to the present 'Tamers', "drinks, food, and most of all: chicks, are all free!"
The group's reaction was beyond a Kodak moment. Takato and Jenrya looked horrified, their jaws dropping, their girlfriends seemed to be trying rather unsuccessfully to contain their laughter, causing loud choking sounds, Ryo openly laughed aloud. Above all this, Ruki managed to remain silent.
"Except those two," Ryo pointed to Kenta and Kazu whose still bugging the college ladies, "and me the rest of them are half-engaged."
"Why didn't you just say that Takato and Jenrya are engaged?" Midori pipes up from behind her husband, then she suspiciously narrowed her eyes, "Are you de-li-ber-ate-ly trying to confuse him!?" she de-li-ber-ate-ly dragged out 'deliberately' s syllables; Midori tends to do that with long words.
Ryo, who started laughing all over again at Kyo's now very white face said, "N.no, I'll try not to in the future, ok?"
Midori nodded in satisfaction, then being her cheerful, child-like, lovable self, she moved on to another victim: Ruki.
"Ruki! How did you ever get mixed up with this bunch of engaged-at-a- too-early-age, freaks?"
"Don't ask." She muttered as she too as seat beside her god-sister.
At the same time, Takato and Jenrya shouted, "We're not engaged!" both blushing like a tomato.
This was followed by twin outraged gasps from their girlfriends, "So you don't want to be engaged to us!?" (Kikuyu demanded this), "but that would also mean you don't want to marry us either!"
"And that would mean you aren't serious about our relationships!" Jeri shrieks, "fine! Consider yourself free from commitment with us!" with that they both marched off, very much like Queens having us disciplined a disobeying servant. Immediately the boys ran after them, protesting their 'break-up', and apologizing repeatedly. They soon disappeared into the throng of people on the dance floor.
Ryo was laughing again, but so were Kyo, Midori and their gang.
"A-amazing what one sentence can do. It only took t-that much to cause a b-break-up!" Ryo choked from laughing so much, "man! I gotta be careful!"
"And who might you be careful of?" Big T once again took it upon his shoulders to find out the most he can about anyone and everyone's business.
Having finally regained his common sense as well as his ability to look sober, he said, shooting a sardonic glance at the should-be- frightening giant, "a girl."
"Wow!" Justin, another deadly member of the Silver Fangs said sarcastically, "really!? I was beginning to wonder about your manhood."
Ryo shoot the same look to Justin, who promptly ignored him and centred his attention to more amusing things, namely Ruki. Being as handsome as a devil, Justin has two every large things, one, is ego, and two is mouth, not saying he isn't a good person, but he tends to slide towards to bragging side sometimes, although he is still very fun to be with. Right now he focused his manly ego and humour on to Ruki.
"Baby! Haven't seen you in so long! Gimme a kiss," he said as he presented his cheek to her.
Ruki not quite amused, used her palm to push him and his cheek back to his seat.
Midori laughed, "Down boy!" she said.
Justin, who pretended to be hurt, gasped loudly, "How can you do this to me!?" his scream sounded tortured, "After all I have done for you!? How could you!" by now he had his hands on the side of his face for effect.
"What did you do for me? Things I'm not quite aware of, I presume." Ruki states coolly.
"Babe, gimme on sec, gotta make up some first before I can answer you." With that Justin shut-up for a while, while he pretended to think thoughtfully but was really checking' out another girl. No one seemed to mind his silence.
Jeri, Kikuyu, Takato and Jenrya came back, finally, having solved their little problem.
"We're going to dance," Jeri announced, "anyone wanna come?"
Just then, an old song came on, and Kikuyu exclaimed, "I LOVE THIS SONG!" her hands on her cheeks jumping up and down, "HURRY! I DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!" with that she drags Jeri on to the dance floor.
"It is the song!" Midori suddenly shrieks just as loud as Kikuyu, making her husband jump up with her.
"What's is it with women and this song!?" he exclaims.
"Ruki. please." Midori immediately turns to Ruki and begs, "we haven't done it in years!!!"
"No."
"Pretty please?"
"No."
"Hey, what cha askin' her?" Kyo asks.
Midori ignores him and continued to focus her attention to getting what she wanted, "I'll let you ride my bike!"
"I'm not old enough to yet." Ruki still refuses, but Midori saw the gleam in her eyes; her attention was caught.
"you can ride it in less than 2 months, if you don't dance with me, I'll give it to Ryo."
"I'll dance!"
Midori, not wanting to waste another minute of the song, dashed to the dance floor, but shot Kyo a smirk that said, "I always get what I want, got that?"
Being the wife of the owner of the club, she has the privilege to restart the song. Few people complained but they got stared down by members of the Silver Fang. Getting on the stage, Midori and she posed for the opening. There was already a crowd around them. The music started and they danced to the beat, moved their bodies to the rhythm and steps they were taught so long ago. Ruki and Midori's bodies flexed when the situation called for it, their hands floated, and clapped to the beat. Chronological and sequenced, they shifted to the pace.
Ruki haven't had this much fun in so long. Having people stare at you amazed has and effect on you, makes you feel like you are worth something. She could go on dancing like this forever but all too soon the music faded away to a different song; she and Midori took their bow and stepped off stage.
"Wow!" there aren't just a few people how whistled, "Never knew you could dance like that." Kyo said.
"We were at a dance club together when we were little. She was my partner." Midori explains as she floated into Kyo's open arms, "Thanks Ruki," she said to Ruki, whom seem very busy at the moment.
"Get a life!" was Ruki's only respond to the invitations on dates by various kinds of males now crowded around her.
"Midori!" She cries for back up.
"Alright!" Midori booms in a voice that contradicts her size; she made a fair number of people wince, "Touch her again and you'll never see your arms again!"
Instantly the bunch of cowards scattered away, some muttering but Ruki only caught a couple of words like "bossy bitch" and "god help her boyfriend".
Suddenly Kyo glances up and looks directly at his lil' bro. "Hey! Ryo! It's kinda cutting time close! Better get going!" He had a huge grin plastered on his face.
Much unlike Ryo, who groaned, "Tonight? My friends are here!"
"So?"
"What can you possibly want to hid from us?" Kenta asked.
"His voice." Kyo answered, Ryo was too busy glaring at his brother. Everyone else looked very confused.
And so Kyo explained: "Brother dear has the voice of Kouji Wada*, he's gonna be singing for us tonight. On stage," he added as an after thought.
*Kouji Wada is the singer for many of the Digimon Series' themes; he is my favourite singer.
Author's Note:
Hello, I'm finally writing to you guys.
First off I'd like to thank every one that reviewed. Arigatou! Your words of encouragement mean very much to me.
Second, I'd like to remind you people that I'm very lazy. And there isn't much time for me to write. Hoping to make up for the fault of mine, and to prevent you from bother, I'd email everyone who reviewed whenever I put up a new chapter, so then you don't have to come and check every week, and be disappointed. P.S. if you don't have an account on FF.net, then kindly leave your give me your email so I can contact you. I you don't want it posted then you can email me directly at kotoritakenouchi@hotmail.com .
Thirdly, and frankly, this has nothing to do with my fic, I just wanted to introduce a really, REALLY, good fanfic to you guys. I love it too much. Although it isn't finished yet, (or I haven't found the ending) Gundam Wing: After Era (*By Miyuki, notice, not me!), is a very imaginative story that takes place after Queen Relena's era, someone once again is trying to take over the world (including the colonies), and so again scientists built new Gundams to protect themselves and overthrow the new OZ organization. The plot may sound boring, but Miyuki manages to spice things up with generationalized (is that even a word!?) psychics and other interesting things. So if you are bored waiting for me to update you can always check it out at .
KK? Thanks for Reading Koibito, please don't forget to review!
