Too Close To Be Apart
Con2020tran: Sorry for not updating for so long. It's just that I just have too many assignments due, and it being the last month of school, it's just too stressful. And now for some news, I've finished this story; it's going to be a total of six chapters (yep, no longer 7 chapters) because I decided that what was originally chapter 4 was too short and meaningless, so I've decided to combine (what was originally) chapters 4 and 5 to create a new chapter 4. Pretty short, eh? Man, I really wished that I could write using more descriptive words and adjectives. But this is me.
If anyone noticed, chapter 1 was rewritten just a tiny little bit and with the song "A Thousand Miles" included in it. I don't even really know why I did that. Songs please people!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, but I do own this story and the plot.

Chapter 3: Dreams of the Past
Night quickly came to the castle and all the land around it. Ryo leaned against the hard, cold stonewall. He looked outside at the far, bright stars being illuminated in the dark night sky and immediately thought once again of Rika, the only one who was with him in this strange dimension.
'Did I really mistake her for Rika?' he thought. 'No, I couldn't of had. When you've been with someone for almost an entire year, you don't mistake them easily. Still...' Ryo couldn't finish his train of thought for he became a prisoner to a much-needed sleep.
________________________
(Meanwhile...)
Yama took one look at everything around her, and immediately knew that she was dreaming yet again. Everything was all black until bright light just "exploded" (A/N: not a really good word to describe it, eh?) in front of her face; the light was so bright that Yama had to shield her eyes with her hand. Thus began the dream.
First, she saw herself and the boy that had annoyed her before...what was his name again? Ryo. That was it. They were both surrounded by a whole bunch of people and were playing a game involving cards. Her mind suddenly told her the word "Digimon". Yama was surprised by this word and where it had come from, yet it had meant nothing to her. At the end, Ryo was the winner of the game. Yama could feel the surprise and anger of this lost, even though it meant nothing to her, just like that word. What was it again? Dithmino? Dihedmon? The dream her angrily collected the cards off of the table and walked out of the door. Another bright light followed.
When Yama could see again, she saw herself in a dark room, the only light being a thing and 3 bright, large objects. There were many shadows within each one of the 3 bright objects. Again her mind flashed out the word "Digimon". She could see herself backing into the wall as black, shadowy hands reached out towards her. "I just want one strong Digimon!" the one in the dream shouted. There was that word again, "Digimon". What did it mean?
The shadows in the middle one, in front of (the dream) her, parted to make way for another shadowy creature, and all of them disappeared. "Are you Renamon?" she asked the new creature.
"You wanted someone strong, didn't you?" replied the creature, and yet another bright light flashed.
This time, the first thing that Yama saw was a gigantic red blobby thing, the blob seemed to stretch towards the ends of the Earth. This dream, focused mainly on two creatures. Just by looking at them, Yama could tell that one of them was male while the other was female. The male one was mostly white and blue, and had a red scarf like thingy with a metal "helmet" and a metal arm. The female one was mostly black and yellow; the yellow mostly being the armor that she wore; she had purple gloves and boots and had a yellow staff like thing in her hand. Yama could somehow feel that she had once experienced this before, in fact, she felt that she had experienced everything that she had dreamt so far before.
"I have an idea!" exclaimed the male with, oddly, two different voices.
"Cyberdramon!" commanded 1 of the voices within the male, which surprisingly seemed very alike to Ryo's.
"Ready!" the other voice replied. The "Cyberdramon's" voice sounded very low and angry. The male creature then extracted a red sword like thingy, from its huge metal arm.
"Sakuyamon, listen to me. I want you to send all your power to my blade, quickly!" said the creature.
"What? You can't be serious!" exclaimed the female creature now known as "Sakuyamon." The voice was, strangely enough, the voice from the new creature that Yama had saw in the last "scene": the "Renamon," as she herself had called it.
"Has the fighting gone to your head or something? The force of it could kill both of you!" exclaimed yet another voice of Sakuyamon, which Yama quickly recognized as her own.
"It's a chance I'm willing to take, Rika," said Ryo. Again he had called her Rika! Could this really be her name? "We've tried everything else and we haven't even been able to land a scratch! But with the combined forces of your strength and my blade, we can give the D-Reaper something to really howl about!"
"Or you could die. Did you ever think about that, Hotshot?" countered "Rika".
"Well, then there'll be one less person to poke fun at you. Right, pumpkin?" responded Ryo.
"You big twerp. You're doing all this just to impress me, aren't you?" said Rika, softening up.
"So is it working or not?" asked Ryo.
"Come on Sakuyamon! It's now or never!" shouted both Ryo and Cyberdramon.
"Rika," said Renamon. "Are you sure?"
"Ryo may be out of his pompous mind, but he's also right. It's the only chance that we have of destroying that thing," answered Rika.
Sakuyamon flew up and began to glow, moving her (or their?) staff in some kind of pattern. The pattern soon became these pink flower petals and they surrounded Sakuyamon. "All the power of my body...my soul...my mind...I now send to you...all the strength within my heart...my spirit to you...I now freely give..." she chanted.
"Ryo! Hold on to something!" Rika shouted and then, everything went black.
Yama woke up with a jolt after that last dream scene, mind filled with questions from the entire dream, yet she stayed calm. Now that she knew that Ryo was part of her life from before the wakening in this world (and she knew that her dreams didn't lie, yet was unsure of that fact now), she would have to ask him about some things that she still didn't understand, even from the dream. She looked outside, the sky was still dark, and the servants would be awake soon. Yama/Rika walked to the hidden door that she had used to get away from the castle this morning and opened it. She wanted to talk to Ryo before anyone noticed her mysterious disappearance, again.

(Meanwhile...)
Takato felt much more awake today than he had felt yesterday, of course he would, he did not need to stay awake from 10:00 P.M. to 7:45 A.M.; with only 3 short hours of sleep; last night.
Ahead of him, Takato caught a glimpse of Jeri and ran quickly to catch up with her. "Hey, wait up Jeri!" he shouted, trying to get her attention and wait for him.
Jeri stopped walking, turned, saw Takato and waited patiently for him. "Hi Takato," she greeted. "You seem to be in a good mood this morning, got enough sleep last night?"
"Yep. My parents unhooked the telephone cable so that the police could not call them," replied Takato and stretched. "I haven't felt this energetic in a while."
"Me too."
"Me three."
The two tamers turned to find the source of the voice; Henry Wong, coming up from behind them. He looked like he was in a good mood too.
Takato smiled, they all had a right to be in a good mood. They didn't have to stay up so late, or be late for school (They had all arrived at school at about 10:00 A.M. yesterday). Though it did make him feel a little guiltily for avoiding something they shouldn't have.
"I wonder where Ryo and Rika could be. I hope they're all right," said Jeri after a while.
"Don't worry Jeri. They'll be all right. They're old enough to take care of themselves, and always, the police will find them soon. Or they'll just show up, like they just disappeared," said Takato, trying to cheer her up.
Jeri smiled. "At least I have someone to protect me from going anywhere," and she grabbed a hold of Takato's arm. "You'll protect me from that, won't you?" she asked.
Takato smiled back at her. "Anything for you Jeri." As he said that, he did not see his D-Power going crazy, nor did the others see theirs.

(Meanwhile...)
A loud noise entered his ears and as he slowly got out of his sleep, Ryo saw some of the bricks on the wall moving outwards, like a door. His eyes snapped open, he quickly backed towards the wall in the opposite direction of the opening door and stood up, ready for whatever came out. He was surprised when not an evil, large creature nor monster came into sight, but a human. Even more surprising, a human whom he himself knew.
"Rika," he whispered to himself.
Rika took a step towards him, hesitated to take another step for a split second yet soon walked right up to him. The two teenagers stood like that for a minute, neither of them knowing what to say (Ryo) or how to begin (Rika). Finally, Ryo spoke up.
"Hi Rika," but he quickly remembered how she had reacted when he had called her by her name.
Rika surprisingly didn't deny it. "Hi...Ryo," she said.
Silence took over again, this time for a few minutes.
"Well, what are you doing here in the dungeons with a lowly peasant like me?" said Ryo, trying to get a joke into the dead conversion.
Rika gave a weak smile, and though she knew exactly why she had come to see him, she didn't know how to say it. "Well...I've come to ask you about something."
"Yeah?"
Rika was quiet again and seemed nervous about what she had to say. This made Ryo sort of uncomfortable; he had never seen nor known Rika to be nervous before, this was part of the reason why the conversion was still very dead. They were both feeling uncomfortable with each other.
"...It's about a dream that I had tonight..." she said and was silent once more; after about a quarter of a minute, she continued. "And you were part of it...at least the only person that I could talk to...from the dream, I mean."
Ryo waited for her to continue, but she didn't. "Tell me about this dream, at least you could get it off of your chest and we can have a normal conversion," he suggested.
She nodded slightly. "Well...the first dream had me and you...sitting at a table...playing some sort of card game. You won and I loss. Later...wait...I doubt that you would know what I'm talking about, cause you weren't in it...at least from what I saw."
"Tell me about it anyways," urged Ryo.
Rika nodded again, gaining her confidence back. Something about talking with Ryo made her feel comfortable now, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what. "There were these three bright, white objects, all of them had these black shadows within them. I was in the middle of them all and I yelled something about only wanting one strong Digimon, all of the shadows suddenly disappeared and this one shadow came forth. I guess its name was Renamon, because that's what I asked and it didn't deny it." When she finished, she looked at Ryo for the answers that she wanted and saw him smiling.
"Well, Rika, the first was of the time when you and I were competing in the Digimon Card Tournament..."
"Wait, that was another thing," Rika interrupted. "All through that, the word Digimon kept on popping up into my head. What does it mean?"
Ryo put his hand up, telling her to wait. "First, let me finish what I was going to say. Anyways that was of the time when you and I were competing in the Digimon Card Tournament, 2 years ago. The second one I believe was how Renamon became your partner."
"What about the word Digimon?" asked Rika. "What does that mean?"
"How do I explain this?" Ryo wondered out loud. "Well, Digimon are creatures made from data. You do know what data is don't you?"
Rika thought for a while. "I don't think so."
"O...k.... Well, data is like...stuff that is inside a computer...though I don't think that you remember what a computer is do you?"
"Nope."
"Well...you know how we're made of flesh and blood, right? Well, a Digimon is made of data, which gives them a shape and mind. Got it?"
"Ah, sure," replied Rika, still quite not understanding it.
"You, me, Takato, Jeri, Henry, Suzie, Kazu, Kenta, Ai and Mako are all Tamers to our own Digimon. In other words, we are their partners and they are ours. Takato is Guilmon's Tamer, Jeri is Leomon's, Henry is Terriermon's, Suzie is Lopmon's, Kazu is Guardomon's, Kenta is MarineAngemon's and Ai and Mako are Impmon's. We all became Tamers in our own special way.
"So, you have any other things that you wanted to ask me about?" asked Ryo.
"Well, there was this other part to my dream; it was about something like this big red blob. There were these two creatures; one had my voice and Renamon's and was named Sakuyamon. The other had your voice and...I think something called Cyberdramon's voice in it. The one with your voice was asking Sakuyamon for her power to 'give the D-Reaper something to really howl about'. What was that all about?" Rika asked.
Ryo took a while to answer this time. "That was the time when the D-Reaper was attacking the real world, because it had followed us home from the Digital World," he explained. "And I or rather we, being Justimon, wanted to ask you two to give us your power so that we could defeat that form of the D-Reaper."
"What happened after that?" questioned Rika. "I didn't see past the part when we gave you two the power."
"The attack was what you would call unsuccessful," Ryo stated. "In a way," he added, smiling.
"How?"
"Well, the attack was successful because I got you to trust me; despite the grudge that you had against me."
"I held a grudge against you?"
"Yep. Remember how you said that you saw you and me in that Digimon Card Tournament? And you said that I won and you lost?"
Rika nodded.
"That year, you were angry that I had won and you didn't. But the following year, I had gone into the Digital World and you had won. Some people said that you won just because I wasn't there. I think that is why you held a grudge against me, because I was better than you," explained Ryo.
"No way!" exclaimed Rika. "I could beat you at that card game anytime!"
"We'll see," said Ryo and sat down against the wall, Rika followed soon after.
"Ryo," said Rika after a few minutes.
"Yeah?"
"You said that we became Tamers, right?"
"Uh huh."
"Then, could you tell me of what happened after we became Tamers? I mean, as Tamers with creatures such as Digimon, we must have had some weird adventures, right?"
"Uh huh," said Ryo, smiling. "And I'll tell be happy to them to you; since you seem to be so curious about us being Tamers."
"But you better not be lying to me, or else," warned Rika.
"If only you remembered what kind of person I am, Rika, you'd know that I wouldn't lie to you about something as important as this," he said.
"Begin then," commanded Rika, smiling back at him.
"Sure."

Con2020tran: Well, that's Chapter 3 (for those of you who like long chapters). And don't you think now that "well" is my favourite word because I used it so many times in this one chapter! Also, the time in the two dimensions may be messed up a bit but in the end, it will be the same, sort of. I really, really changed the chapter that I had originally written by adding and subtracting things and tried to be very descriptive.
Well, just like 3 chapters to go and I'm done this story. The sequel might not really be a Ryuki but would explain some whys and whos and whats in this story. I hope that the sequel will be a Ryuki, hopefully, and maybe a bit of Jurato too. Please review! Please Review my story, give me suggestions, give me comments, just give me something!
Con2020tran: Sorry for not updating for so long. It's just that I just have too many assignments due, and it being the last month of school, it's just too stressful. And now for some news, I've finished this story; it's going to be a total of six chapters (yep, no longer 7 chapters) because I decided that what was originally chapter 4 was too short and meaningless, so I've decided to combine (what was originally) chapters 4 and 5 to create a new chapter 4.

Well, just like 3 chapters to go and I'm done this story. The sequel might not really be a Ryuki but would explain some whys and whos and whats in this story. I hope that the sequel will be a Ryuki, hopefully, and maybe a bit of Jurato too. Please review! Please Review my story, give me suggestions, give me comments, just give me something!
