An Interesting Lunch


"Rika!? Ryo!? What are you two doing here?" Takato asked very surprised to see them together not fighting.

"Well, I was just getting stuff for this Friday and um, Ryo just, arr, asked if I needed help." Rika explained carefully with Ryo not saying anything at all and blushing ever so slightly.

"Isn't that great! You wanna sit down with us?" Juri smiled sweetly casting a quick glance at Rika. Rika just stared back slow to react, Ryo on the other hand grinned and grabbed Rika's hand and slid into the booth opposite Takato and Juri.

Rika sent a dirty look his way snatching her hand back. "Hey! I can sit down without assistance you know!" she flicked her hair back and frowned as Ryo saluted her.

"Ahhh! Welcome to our restaurant! How may I help you? Well well isn't this cute? A double date? You both look gorgeous together! I remember my first double date with the girl of my dreams! She had red hair as well, you are very lucky young sir." The waiter nudged Ryo and it was Rika's turn to blush and she sank down to the bottom of her seat so her face was barely visible. Seeing Rika's discomfort Ryo spoke up.
"Well actually me and her aren't on a date.." 'Yet.' He said silently to himself.
"Oh. Ok. Well what can I get you?"
"Napolatana fettuccini!" Ruki and Ryo chimed together.
Juri and Takato exchanged glances and ordered their pasta.

"You know whats coming this Saturday?" Juri piped cheerily reminding them of the sleep over.
"No idea."
"Hehe! A FAIR! How fun!"
"Pretty good timing eh Ryo?" Takato nodded Ryo's way who turned his head questioningly but also nodding.
"Great. So if we aren't that tired we can go to the fair! I totally can't wait till this cursed week is fricken over! Its been going sooooo slow." Rika complained sipping her coke.

"I don't mind school but I'm looking forward to the party!" Juri clapped her hands excitedly.

"Me too. Well no I don't like school that much." Takato sweat dropped.
"You are probably the only one I know that actually enjoys school Juri." Rika relaxed and laughed with her friends. She completely lost track of time and so did the others.
When everyone realised what time it was they all headed home.

"Would her majesty the Digimon Queen care to be escorted home?" Ryo bowed and laughed at the expression on Rika's face. She was scowling with her arms crossing her chest but a smile played about her lips and an evil grin curved her lips.

"Yes. The Queen needs an escort to boss around and order. All royalty needs that." Thinking she caught him at his own game he simply grinned again.

"Yes I agree my Queen! The Digimon KING AND Queen need a servant. I'll talk to Kazu tomorrow!" He took her hand again softly and pulled her along the streets in the direction of her house.

"Ryo! I am not your Queen!" Forcing her hand back she whacked him in the back of the head and laughed as he feigned hurt.

Ryo had an excellent idea, he knew Rika would never back out of a challenge so.... He tapped her firmly but gently and said: "Tag! You're It Rika!" Laughing into the wind he dashed away to avoided her flying hand.

"That's it Akiyama your so dead!" She took chase and run under the light of the streetlights along a nearly deserted pathway. She pelted after the runaway boy who was merely teasing the aggravated teen ducking in between trees and down stairs both laughing and hurling insults to each other.

' I never thought I'd see the day where Rika Makino is in hot pursuit of Ryo Akiyama. Well I never thought I'd the day where Juri and I went on a date. There' a first time for everything I guess. Well well one thing leads to another right?' Takato leaned back on the bench wrapping an arm around Juri protectively.

Out of breath the two exhausted teens fell backwards onto the green grass of an unknown park. Unintentionally Rika had rested her head on Ryo's stomach cause he had fallen before her. She lazily reached over and slapped his shoulder. "Tag. Your it. Game over." She sighed not caring her position as she drifted into a slight sleep.

Ryo savoured this moment and thought sadly that he had to bring her home or mother might call the FBI. He leaned down and whispered into her ear.
"Hey, Wildcat. I better take you home." He picked her up in his arms and started walking with ease.
"I don't need your help Akiyama." She mumbled softly before falling asleep.

Walking up to her door he set her down waking her and she slowly stood up to meet his gaze.
"Thank you Ryo. I had a fun time surprisingly." She whispered as he came closer her.
"Even when your not completely awake you still seem to make it seem a chore to be around me." He was getting closer and she could feel his warm breath on her face.
"I didn't mean it."
"Do you ever?" He smiled impishly and just as their lips were about to meet Rika got confused and hastily turned around.
"Thank you for today Akiyama Ryo. I did have fun. Goodnight." With that she opened the door seeing Ryo's face one last time as he nodded and waved good bye. As the door closed he said to the wood. "Goodnight my Queen. I won't push it." Hoping somehow his message would reach her.

As Rika rested her back against the closed door her heart raced not knowing what to think. But with the retreating steps outside a calmness encased her heart as if someone had given her reassuring words.
'Ryo I don't know what to think yet.'
