Well, I don't have much to say so.

CHAPTER 7 - Memories

Jenrya's POV

I tried to sleep after Takato's clamor, but I couldn't. His words were all the time in my head "Ruki." In fact, I don't even know why do I care so much. She wasn't my relative, she wasn't anything. But a whispering voice, the voice of my conscience, said mischievously:

"Don't forget that you still in love with her, even if she is dead. it is an overcoming love."

Unfortunately, the memories of her death flood my head once again.

~FLASHBACK~

The doctors that came with the ambulance were shaking their heads. One of them said calmly to me:

"Please, boy, there's nothing we can do for your friend. The knock was too violent. She didn't even suffer. She didn't feel a thing. She died in the same time the car hit her."

I didn't answer, I just kept Ruki in a tight hug. My clothes were covered with her blood, but I didn't care either. All I wanted was to be with her, wherever she may be.

"Give us her body. We are going to call her mother or the answerable for her to take her and then they can make the funeral."

Another doctor said with no compassion at all. Meanwhile the guy who killed her ran away with his car, and never more appeared.

I let Ruki go. I couldn't stay with her anymore. I just had to accept it. They took her body and putted it inside the ambulance. The doctor who talked to me first asked me quietly:

"Do you know where she lived?"

I nodded.

"Great. What's her mother's name?" he asked writing down all what I was saying.

"Rumiko Makino" I answered as a robot looking at the ambulance

"Umm, I know her. She is that famous model, right? How old was your friend, umm what's her name?"

"Yeah, Ruki's mother is a model. Her name is Ruki Makino. She is 15" I said as if she was alive.

"You know, boy, one day, maybe, you will understand that the death is just a continuance of this life in a better place." As the doctor said that he got up and walked up to his friends.

The ambulance left me there, where I stayed for few moments until the gang came.

"What are you doing here? We decided to look for you. What took you so long?" Takato asked.

"Where's Ruki?" Kenta asked shyly.

"What is this in your clothes? Oh, shit. What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?" Ryo asked too.

The interrogatory went on and I didn't answer them. I didn't speak for a long time after that.

~END FLASHBACK~

I covered my face with my hands crying. I tried to hold back the tears but I couldn't. Then I remembered when I got home that day.

~FLASHBACK~

"Wow, Jen. What happened to you?" Jaarin, my older sister, asked.

I didn't answer, I just walked straight to my room and slammed the door on her face.

I cried all night long until my father came, very mad, from work. He almost knocked down the door to my room and screamed:

"What the hell do you think you're doing? What made you slam the door on your sister's face?"

"You don't care about nothing!!! You don't care about what happened to me in this crappy day." I screamed back, I kinda lost my temper.

"Son, is that blood on your clothes?" my father said calming down.

"Yes, it is! It's my best friend's blood. She died and you don't even care about it." I said pointing a finger at him.

"Oh, my God. Who?" he was really worried.

"Oh, now you're worried, huh? Ruki died, ok? A car hit her. She killed herself." I started to cry.

For the first time in my whole life, my father hugged me.

"I'm so sorry. Maybe I should call her mother. What's her telephone number?"

"484-2807." I said with a damp voice.

My father took the telephone near my bed and dialed the numbers.

"Umm, hello? Mrs. Makino. My son just told me. I'm really sorry. Umm, sure. Yeah. Bye."

"Her grandmother answered the phone. She said that her funeral is today. If you want to go, you can. She called your friends already. They didn't know what happened. You didn't tell them, did you?" my father said with a tear rolling down his cheek.

"No, I didn't." I said simply.

~END FLASHBACK~

The tears were rolling down freely on my face now. I didn't have how to wipe them. My head was torturing me. The memories just came without any reason. I wanted to quit everything, but part of me wanted to remember more and more.

~FLASHBACK~ (A/N: I promise that this is the last flashback ^_^)

I got in the church, where I found all my friends wearing black clothes like me. Juri got up, took me by the hand and led me to seat that they were.

"I understand why you didn't tell us anything about it. It's gonna be hard for you to handle with that now. I'm sorry, Jenrya." She said kindly.

The other guys just looked at me and nodded with their heads, agreeing with what Juri had said.

The priest came into the altar and made his speech.

"Ruki Makino was too young to die, but we have to remember ourselves that she is probably suffering in the hell, because she committed a crime to herself and this kind of things is not accepted in heaven. Let's pray for her soul to find the light." The priest said as if he known the heaven deeply the way he was talking about it.

Everybody was praying while the priest was cremating her body in a kind of a huge fireplace under the church.

When he came back one hour later, he was holding a little wooden box with golden details all over it. He walked to Ruki's mom and gave the box for her.

Rumiko Makino got up and walked away from the church.

"Guess, the funeral is over." Said Kazu.

We got up too and walked outside the church. Rumiko was holding the box open while the wind was sweeping Ruki's ashes away.

~END FLASHBACK~

Finally everything was over and I was able to sleep in a way that I didn't do for a long time.

*******************

The clock alarm was bugging me and I hit it with anger.

"Calm down, 'Sleep Beauty'. This is the only clock I have now." Takato said cheerful.

"Huh? What time is it?" I asked sleepily.

"Umm, 10 o'clock Am. I never thought you would sleep so long this way, man. Come on, get dressed. We are going to visit the guys today. I kind of made a schedule but I don't think we can do it all." Takato said like a rattle.

I felt myself awake, sat up straight and asked Takato:

"Did you dream about Ruki again?"

"What do you mean?" he asked me back.

"Yesterday night you got up screaming and I asked you what was going on, but you just said 'Ruki' and then you kinda collapsed on your bed again."

"Yeah, I dreamt. She was wearing a really nice black dress that showed all her body very clearly. She walked straight in my direction. I was almost drooling and when she opened her mouth to talk 'I love you' for me, her voice changed completely, instead of her melodious voice, a male voice said 'what's up?' and then I kinda woke up and I felt asleep again." He said full of 'emotions'.

I couldn't help it, I laughed with Takato.

"That was my voice. I heard you screaming like a lunatic and I came upstairs to check what was happening to you. When I said 'What's up?' you said 'Ruki' and felt asleep again."

"Was I screaming? What a shame." He apologized.

"Well, you really should be shamed. Poor Juri, you are betraying her even in your own dreams."

"What do you mean with 'you are betraying her in your own dreams'? It's not my fault, ok? C'mon, you already dreamt of a girl this way, didn't you? Umm, you're blushing!!!! Man, Jenrya is blushing!!! Ha ha ha ha." Takato was screaming.

"Shh, shut up, ok? And it's my business if I dreamt or not of a girl this way." I said annoyed.

"Ok, c'mon let's have breakfast." Takato helped me to get up.

"Umm, maybe I should tell Juri about it, you know, your dream was a really interesting thing. Whaddya think?" I suggested mischievously.

"Hey, don't you dare!!!" Takato screamed back to me from the kitchen.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll really think about it." I said again provoking him.

"Very funny. Since when you got Terriermon's personality? C'mon we have a lot of things to do today."

-------------------- Hope it's not very boring!!! As the chapter's name says most part of it are just memories. Hope you like it. C-ya. ^_~ . Reviews, please. - - If you don't review I won't be able to know what you think about my story, you know, I don't have a crystal ball yet. Umm, I should have one, stealing money from a lot of believers would be a good thing. Then, finally I would forget this stuff of being writer and make money by myself and stop asking mom for "financial" help (Sometimes your little money decides to leave you, because of no reason at all. Well, that's what happens to my money. In fact, I don't know why the hell I am talking these bullshits!!! Just review, ok? But I still don't understand why I am talking about crystal balls and money.).
