Chapter 4: Ruki's Been Kidnapped

It was late in the evening. A brown-haired boy, about 13 years of age, was walking on a street at Okinawa. He had a digimon with him. It looked really tough.

"Ryo, I'm sensing someone coming. He have a digimon with him." Said the boy's digimon. The boy, whose name is Ryo, nodded at his digimon and they both stopped walking. (A/N: I used the words 'he' and 'him' in the line 'He have a digimon with him' as a pronoun for any gender and not of a male.)

Up ahead they saw two shadows. The one looked small, maybe it's a child. Ryo guessed, but the other one, maybe his digimon, was about four feet taller than his 'tamer'. Ryo and his digimon, Cyberdramon, stood there, waiting for them to pass the street light which will reveal their faces. They felt the strangers getting closer and closer and closer. What Ryo guessed was right. It was a girl, about 7 years of age, with her 'partner' digimon.

"Tamer, I challenge you and your digimon to a battle." The girl with long black braided hair coldly said to Ryo, pointing at him. She might only be a 7 year old but she speaks, acts and thinks like a teenage girl. Standing beside her was her digimon, Andromon. Like his digimon partner, this one also looks tough.

"You're out late. What's your name, miss?" Ryo politely asked with his kind and cute smile.

"I'm Angelina. This is my partner digimon, Andromon. You're saying that I'm out late, right? Just because I'm only a child you're already saying that to me. What do you think about yourself? You think you are already a grown- up that's why you are the only one allowed to be out so late?!" The girl angrily answered, annoyed of treating or seeing her as a child that should still be taken care of by her mommy or daddy. She doesn't want people to do that. She's independent now and really hate people who treats her like a kid, but the fact is, she's still a child needing support and care.

"Sheesh..! No need to be angry at me. I was just asking! I'm sorry.." Ryo apologized even if he thinks that he didn't do nor said anything bad that would offend the girl nor anybody. "By the way, I'm Ryo, Ryo Akiyama and this is my digimon, Cyberdramon."

"Apology accepted, but that doesn't mean that I'll be kind to you and let you win. I'm tough." Angelina smiled at him devilishly.

Now that made Ryo confused. What does she mean by that? "H-Huh? I don't get y-" He was about to ask but..

"Andromon!" Angelina called her digimon's name. Andromon then obeyed his tamer and attacked his opponent, Cyberdramon.

"What the heck?!?" Ryo confusedly said. Of course Cyberdramon won't let himself get hurt or let his opponent defeat him and load his data. No.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing, Angelina?!?" Ryo angrily asked. Now getting more confused on why her digimon was attacking his when he didn't do anything wrong. Even if there is, she already accepted his apology. Now, what the heck does she want?!

'I have no choice but to fight her digimon.' He quickly thought. "Cyberdramon, fight him!" Ryo commanded.

Cyberdramon obeyed him and fought until they were so weak that about only a hit will kill one of them. Unfortunately, their tamers didn't noticed that. They were so concentrated on the battle.

Cyberdramon was the first one to stand between the two of them. Eager to beat and load his opponent's data, he used his 'erase claw' attack to defeat his opponent. It instantly killed Andromon. The poor digimon slowly disappeared, his tamer's eyes were fixed on him with shock and sadness.

"No, Andromon! No!!" She screamed as tears started to roll down to her pale cheeks. Angelina just stood there. Her face flashing sadness, shock and anger.

*-*-*

Ryo woke up at the middle of the night. He was sweating. He looked at the glow-in-the-dark digital wall clock. It read 2:30 a.m.

"It's that same dream again about that girl I've met at a street at Okinawa some years ago. I've also had that dream yesterday. Why is it like it's.. haunting me?"

***THE NEXT MORNING AT SHINJUKU HIGH***

"Hey guys!" Takato greeted his friends.

"Say Takato, you look happier today than ever. Why's that so? You also arrived earlier than Ruki today. It's really unusual. Hmm.. it's not your anniversary today.." Kenta asked.

"Err, uh.." Takato tried to explain but it seems like he couldn't find the right words to tell them what really happened.

"Oh by the way, Ruki's gonna be absent today," Jeri announced. "It's really unusual for her to absent. Is there something wrong with her, Takato?"

"Well, you see, we uh.. we broke up." The Gogglehead nervously answered, not sure if he should've said that or not.

They heard it clearly. Ryo felt quite happy for himself because he can now make his moves on Ruki, without Takato blocking the way. But he should feel sad about it instead of happy, right? Nah..

"Hey man, she dumped you? What a shame.." Kazu said.

"Well, the fact is, I did." Takato cleared.

Takato's clique's eyes were casted on him. Their jaw dropped open and their face was like o_O.

"But why?" Jenrya curiously asked.

"It's all about a new girl in my life." Takato answered. The fact is, Takato really likes that girl a long, long time ago but he doesn't have the guts to tell about it to Ruki. He felt somehow afraid of his ex-girlfriend. "Ugh! Let's just change the topic, please?!?"

"Uh guys," Ryo interrupted. "I'm gonna go to the drinking station. I'll be back in a flash."

"Sheesh man! You don't need to tell us that!" Kazu said.

Ryo smiled at him and happily left the group.

*-*-*

"Hi Ryo!" Greeted a girl with pink braces who happened to be his fan club's vice president. Kazu was the president. Well, he begged Ryo to talk to Penny, the former president of the club, to make him the president instead of her. It was Ryo who asked so of course, she moved from being a president to a vice president. Sure, anything for Ryo Akiyama.

Since Ryo was really in a good mood today, he greeted her back. "Hello Penny! Lovely day, isn't it?"

The blonde haired girl with some red highlights on her hair almost fainted when Ryo called her by her name. Of all the girls talking to him he still remembered her name?! Because of that, she started to think of some CRAZY thought like he's in love with her.

"Wait 'til they hear about this!" Penny excitedly said. "See you later, Ryo!" The brown-haired boy smiled at her in return. Penny blushed and ran as fast but as graceful as she could, because Ryo, her crush and idol, was there. Also, to brag to the girl members of the club what happened. Surely, they'll get jealous when they hear about it. Well, almost all the girls at Shinjuku High and some boys were proud members of the club. All girls except Ruki, though. She wouldn't think of joining a stupid club like that. NEVER!

He watched her run and continued his way to the drinking station.

*-*-*

Finally, he reached his destination, the drinking station. The drinking fountain was right in front of him and he's ready to drink when his cellphone rang. He picked it out from his pocket and answered the call.

Ryo: Hello?

???: Ryo Akiyama? (It was a man's voice)

Ryo: Y-Yeah. Can you tell me your name, please?

Man: It doesn't matter. I just would like you to know that we have your precious Ruki, holding her as a hostage.

Ryo: *quite shocked but didn't believed the man* Really? Well, I know where she really is. You can't fool me!

Man: You don't believe me, eh?

Ruki: Ryo, don't g-

Man: Now, do you believe me?

Ryo: What have you done to her?! Don't you dare hurt her or you're gonna pay. You're gonna fucking pay!

Man: Then you'll need to go to this place.

***AFTER SOME SECONDS***

Man: Don't forget, no police, no friends, no one's coming with you or she's gonna get it.

Ryo: Okay, okay! I'll go there right away. Please let me sp-

But the mysterious man hung the phone. 'Shit!' He mentally cursed. He ran as fast as he could towards the gate of the school. Along the way, he passed his clique.

"Hey Ryo, what's the rush?" Kenta asked.

"Don't you dare follow me! Ruki's life is at stake!" Ryo answered, looking back at his friends but didn't stop running.

"What do you mean Ruki's life is at stake?!" Takato confusedly asked.

Ryo stopped for a while and looked at Takato. "Fuck! Can't you understand what I just said?! Just don't follow me, as simple as that!" Ryo almost shouted out. He turned around from them, "I mean it.." he said then gave Takato an I-really-mean-it, scary glare. He then continued running away from the school really fast.

'I'm coming, Ruki!'

A new chappie! Please wait for the next chappie. It contains drama and I think it's sweet! Yay! I've got a new but a very small laptop. I asked my dad to buy me one and so, here it is and I'm using it. I threw my bag with about 3 thick books in it into my big laptop and I don't know what happened. I think it's broken because I hit it really hard. (I'm so angry at that time) I think first year highschool is way more difficult than my elementary years.

Don't forget to review! Please?!?
