Author's Note: Okay so everyone wants to know about the Henry/Rika thing and the rest of the characters. This'll be for you guys.
Also--- I feel good now. I got all my relationship problems outta the way and now I can do my ex-boyfriend bashing stunt again. Trust me, all the teenager people can now crack up overly hard at the connections to people in this fic.
And I don't wanna hear no complainin' from nobody! If archforge can make a Kenta/Suzy relationship work I SWEAR I will make a Kazu/Suzy relationship work. So there. Besides, I need a lead-in to the three kids they have together in Sky Of Dreams *just gave that away and knows it*.

Last night we went to bed not talking
Cuz we'd already said too much
I faced the wall you faced the window
Bound and determined not to touch
We've been married seven years now
Some days it feels like 21
I'm still mad at you this morning
Coffee's ready if you want some
I've been up since five, thinkin' bout me and you and I've gotta tell you,
The conclusion I've come to
I'll never leave,
I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up
We'll get around to that
I think I'm right I think you're wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just wanna be mad for a while.
For now you might as well forget it
Don't run your fingers through my hair
Yeah, that's right, I'm being stubborn
No I don't want to go back upstairs
I'm gonna leave for work, without a goodbye kiss
But as I'm drivin' off, just remember this
I'll never leave,
I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up
We'll get around to that
I think I'm right I think you're wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I'll never leave,
I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up
We'll get around to that
I think I'm right I think you're wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while...

~~~ Friday, June 4th, 2005 ~~~
The chinese resturant in town was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, and Rika found it hard to focus on her menu because of the silence. She and Henry had met here for dinner every week for months on end, ever since it had taken it's place only a five minute drive from Rika's home.
He hadn't shown up yet, she figured he was being held up at the office where he worked along side his father, and didn't worry about it; just smoothed down her deep blue dress that came an inch above her knees, and eyed over the menu again. She didn't want to order until Henry was here, but she had been sitting here for over an hour now, and could tell the waitress was getting annoyed at her.
Finally she picked an appetizer off the menu, spat it out to the waitress, then sank down into the black leather seat, staring at the chinese latern that dangled over the table, sending a soft red glow on her curly auburn hair.
"Well looky who." a deep voice echoed behind her in a teasing tone, and Rika froze, closing her eyes tightly together and wishing herself somewhere else, but her ears caught the sound of leather hitting leather and she opened her eyes to see a grinning Ryo Akiyama sitting across from her, completly decked out in black leather from his jacket to his pants to his boots.
"What do you want?" she snarled in her old manner, sitting up a bit more and making herself look proper and much more important than the boy.
"Oh com'on Wildcat, you can't treat me like that." he said in a mock-hurt tone of voice, his piercing blue eyes grinning more than his mouth was.
"Well considering every time I get a good talk with you I end up breaking up with Henry, then getting cheated on by you, then hooking up with Henry again, I think I can treat you like dirt." she snarled viciously at him, purposely rummaging through her golden-colored purse as to not have to look him in the eyes.
"Makes you think maybe we're destined to be together if you keep falling for me." Ryo said smoothly, placing his hand on top of Rika's and she quickly pulled it back, stuffing it under her thigh as she used the other to dig for the small black wallet in her purse.
"If I went by that idea, I would've married Henry by now." she snapped, violet eyes filling with rage.
"Whatever happened to us, huh?" Rika looked up suddenly to Ryo's voice turning from teasing to dead serious.
"Ryo--" Rika narrowed her eyes slightly in confusion. "--we're over with, you know that."
"We shouldn't be over with. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on."
Rika made a scoffing sound, and turned her eyes back onto the purse in her lap. "And how many of the girl's you've slept with have you told that to also?"
Ryo opened his mouth to shoot something back at her, but her words sunk in and he fell completly silent, just staring at her.
"I have connections you know. It's not like I don't have friends at our school, Ryo." Rika continued on calmly. "I've known about this for awhile now."
A few more moments of silence filled the area, and Ryo took a staggering breath. "Why didn't you say anything then, if you knew it all." Ryo snapped quickly, his mind finally clicking into submission again.
"Because I was hoping it was just a one-time thing, that you'd realise you loved me over the rest of them." Rika answered calmly, but with the slightest tear in her eye as she spoke, still refusing to look at him.
"But I do--"
"No you don't, or you would've stopped sleeping around." Rika's voice cracked slightly as her head came up and she glared harshly at him.
Ryo stared at her a moment longer as she slumped down into the seat, hand over her face, attempting to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. "Just go." she whispered.
Without a word Ryo slipped out of the seat, and with wallet chain clinking as he walked, he left the resturant, brushing shoulders with a tall indigo-haired boy that was entering at the same time.
Recognising the face, Henry quickly made his way over to Rika's table, sliding into the seat Ryo had been in only a few moments before.
Rika didn't move her hand from in front of her face, and Henry wondered for a moment if she had even noticed his presense yet.
"What took you so long?" answered his question, and she slowly dropped her hand and looked at him with a tear-stained face.
"I'm sorry, honey." Henry smiled sympotheticly at her tears, purposely trying to brighten up the mood. "Work, you know."
Rika forced a smile and nodded. "I ordered an appetizer already since I was afraid they'd kick me out."
Henry laughed cheerfully, causing an actual smile to cross Rika's face. "Oh," Henry's face suddenly went serious. "What was Ryo doing here? He wasn't bothering you was he?"
Rika shrugged. "It's nothing."
"It must not be 'nothing' if you've got tears trailing down your cheeks." Henry reached across the table and ran his finger up her cheek, catching a tear or two off her face.
Rika blushed just enough for it to be seen, but diverted her eyes to the table. "He wanted me back, that's all."
Henry's face twisted into an expression Rika didn't recognise. "I'm about sick of this."
She looked up at him sharply with confusion in her eyes. "What?"
Henry shoved his jacket into the back corner of the seat, making himself more comfortable. "Nothing, nothing."
Rika shifted in her seat, eyeing the boy sitting across the table from her. It made her nervous to think of what Henry was planning now. Ryo could easily take him out if he wanted to in a hand-to-hand combat, that she was sure of, but Henry had wits about him and could overtake Ryo mentally any day. If she was right and could see the little wheels turning inside Henry's head, he was planning something, which could either be a good thing or bad thing. But by the tone of voice he had said 'I'm about sick of this' with, there was that slight fear of him or Ryo getting hurt.
Ever since Henry had officially moved in with Rika and her family, she had grown extremly attatched to the boy. Even through an on-again off-again relationship, they had always stayed at each other's side, never holding a grudge against each other. Well, except for when Henry told her mother that Rika hadn't gotten back in the house until three in the morning after a party, but that's a different story.
Yes, Henry had stayed with Rika in their home, but had reluctantly told Suzy she had to go back to the Wong household. She was too young not to have a father, mother, and a solid family to grow up in. To this day Rika didn't know exactly how Henry talked everyone into agreeing to him living with Rika and her family, but he had done it and their lives were better for it.
Rika's mother was still a bit nervous about the living situation and leaving the two alone in the house together, but Rika swore that to this day she and Henry had never gone too far in their relationship, and it was true... but Ryo was a different story. The one boy her mother trusted her with was the one she shouldn't have trusted at all. On many occasions they had taken advantage of Ryo's father not being home and had done a few things Rika herself was not proud of.
Rika shook her thoughts off abruptly with Henry's voice ordering something off a menu, and a waitress asking a few questions about the food to him.
Rika snatched up her menu quickly and picked an item off it, ready to give her order to the waitress also.
Henry eyed her sudden movements and realised she had been deep in thought again, something he still couldn't get a steady grasp on through all these years.
Everything wasn't alright, he was sure.
"Hey dude, you got this one?"
The music store, a usual hangout for most the tamers, wasn't overcrowded like most Friday's either. Kazu just figured it was because of the summer months, everyone leaving on vacations and all-- like Jeri had.
The male cashier took a look at a small yellow piece of notebook paper, reading over the title of a CD Kazu had scribbled down on the paper.
"Yeah, fives rows from the end... should be in there somewhere." The teenage boy responded, lowering the dark sunglasses he wore to look Kazu in the face, then pointed a ring-covered finger towards the back of the store.
"Thanks, man." Kazu waved at him once as he went off to track down the CD, stoping short down one aile to look over someone's shoulder. "I can't believe you listen to that crap."
A boy his age, only a bit shorter than Kazu was, looked over, pushing a bang of hunter green hair out of his face. "Well some people don't listen to hip-hop or rap, you know." he said calmly, and turned the CD he held over in his hand a few times.
"But classical? Kenta don't you think--"
"I didn't ask your opinion." Kenta adjusted his thin silver-framed glasses, and continued reading over the back of the CD.
"Whatever dude." Kazu put his hands up in the air. "Where's Suzy?" he changed the subject, looking around the store.
"Over there... Popular Music aile." Kenta motioned in one direction, towards a tall girl standing at the end of one of the ailes where a set of headphones were located. Each of her hands were covering the headphones to block out any other music, and she bounced slightly to a beat no-one else could hear.
Four years could seriously change a person, everyone was sure. Suzy was the perfect example.
Her maroon-colored hair had grown out, past her shoulders and tumbled half-way down her back in a mess of curls Rika had put in her hair. She had grown almost two feet and had evened out with the other tamers, and had even grown into a more mature looking body that caught people's attention, much to Henry's disgust. She wore a thin white jacket that covered a baby-pink tank top, and a pair of tight white-colored jeans that finished the outfit perfectly.
"Don't stare at her."
Kazu snapped his attention back to Kenta who held a grin on his face. "Henry'll kill you."
"Yeah I know." Kazu said in almost disgust, then turned his attention back to Suzy, who was starting to mouth the words to the song and seemed to be getting even more into the music with each passing second.
She probably had picked up Henry's musical trait, Kazu figured. Henry was very musically-bent also, and Rika claimed he had a beautiful voice although no-one had ever heard it other than her.
Kazu peeled his eyes off the girl and started towards his own aile, walking past her in order to do so, but he soon stopped short after just passing her, hearing what seemed to him and others in the store the sound of an angel singing.
"Just like the white-winged dove...."
Everyone in the store diverted their attention to Suzy, still having her eyes closed but now strongly singing along with the song she was hearing in her headphones.
".. sings a song, sounds like she's singin' whoo whoo.. whoo..."
Whispers arose between people in the store, and everyone completly forgot what they were doing, attention completly on Suzy.
Kazu felt his jaw drop to the floor, and he had to remind himself to breathe. Everyone always teased his infatuation with a girl almost four years younger than he was, but as he stared at her now that 'infatuation' only got stronger. She was beautiful with a beautiful personality and a beautiful voice--- and for once he wasn't the only person who thought that.
"Just like the white-winged dove sings a song, sounds like she's singin' ooh baby ooh said ooh." Suzy continued to sing along with the song, and people slowly started crowding around her to hear better.
"I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow. And the music there was hauntingly familiar."
Suzy seemed completly oblivious to the people crowding around her like she was a rock star, a few already pulling out pieces of paper and pens in order to get her autograph. It was clear to everyone Suzy Wong would one day be famous.
"And I see you doing what I try to do for me. With the words from a poet and the voice from a choir."
Suzy sang even stronger, and slowly people started bouncing to the beat of the music she was singing along with, even if they couldn't hear it themselves.
"And a melody... nothing else mattered."
"Just like a white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin', ooh baby ooh said ooh."
Suzy opened her eyes and quickly pulled the headphones off her ears as notebooks were thrust at her.
Kazu couldn't help but chuckle under his breath at the clueless look on Suzy's face. She didn't even know she had an amazing voice as she hesitatingly signed autographs for everyone.
Soon the crowd had melted away, and Kazu approached her, hands shoved into his jean pockets.
"Nice voice."
A blush crept across Suzy's face. "I'm not.. that good." she said in a much higher pitched voice than she had been singing in earlier.
"No, seriously, you are."
Suzy blushed deeper and stared at the floor. "Well I--"
"That was so cool!!!"
Both looked up in almost disgust at Kenta running forward, a stupid grin on his face. "You sing so beautifully! I've never heard something like that before!"
"T-thank you. I--"
Kazu took a few steps backward into one of the ailes of CDs and immediatly started looking through the music, most of it music he wasn't even interested in, just enough to try and take his mind off the girl standing a few yards away from him.
He had fallen for a girl he'd never be able to have--- how did he always get himself mixed up into these things?
Also--- I feel good now. I got all my relationship problems outta the way and now I can do my ex-boyfriend bashing stunt again. Trust me, all the teenager people can now crack up overly hard at the connections to people in this fic.
And I don't wanna hear no complainin' from nobody! If archforge can make a Kenta/Suzy relationship work I SWEAR I will make a Kazu/Suzy relationship work. So there. Besides, I need a lead-in to the three kids they have together in Sky Of Dreams *just gave that away and knows it*.
