Crearulian Angel: Well it's been who knows how long since I've updated this. To tell you the truth I hardly update cause I need inspiration, which doesn't come along that often! But I'll try my bestest to update but keep the story good as well! Oh and I know I said before that Rika goes to that private girls school but lets just alter that fact shall we?

::POOF::

She now goes to the other Tamer's school!

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

The Last Day of School And First Day Of Fun

The bell sounded, bringing Rika from her bored stupor and back to reality. Cheers erupted from the small gathering of students and a relieved sigh escaped the teacher's lips. In the flurry of exited teens 'filing' out of the classroom, Rika and Juri were split up and Rika found herself in front of a set of lockers belonging to a gang of grade 11ers.

A tall boy with blond dreads and flashy blue eyes spotted her and whispered to his friends. He strode over to her smiling seductively. Rika caught his eye contact, her own lavender eyes locking on the mystic blue ones of the youth approaching her. Her expression clouded over at the smirk on his face. Without a second thought she deliberately gave him a sour look and turned her back striding off to find Juri.

"Haha Damo you got bared!" One of his mates chided while the others laughed at his failure to get her name. Damien flicked a stray yellow dread from his eyes and sighed rather disappointed. "Better luck at the fair on Saturday."

"Rika! I was wondering where you got off to. Lets go my dad will be waiting in the car." Juri waved to her friend and waited till she caught up before they both headed to the iron gates. On the way home the girls talked animatedly (no pun intended) of the night ahead. Rika didn't once mention her 'meeting' with the blond stranger.

When the topic turned to Takato Rika began to zone out and she found her thoughts drifting to Ryo. Ryo Akiyama. The most irritating, obnoxious, conceited prat who happened to be able make her laugh, cry and scream in frustration. She didn't understand it especially with the rather intense moment at her doorstep a few nights ago...

"Rika? Rika are you even listening?!" Juri's exasperated voice cut through her thoughts and Rika was annoyed at the slight blush creeping up into her cheeks.

"Um sorry Juri what were you saying?"

At 6:oo o'clock sharp Takato entered the scene soon followed by Henry who was closely followed by the Dangerous Duo, Kenta and Kazu. The gang minus Ryo tramped into the room with the TV and set out their stuff, sleeping bags, pillows, occasional stuffed toy and an assortment of digimon cards. Kazu craftily positioned himself near the snack table and began to make the most of his well thought out spot.

Ryo still hadn't shown up and Rika found herself slightly disappointed even as Henry came and seated himself on her new sleeping bag.

"Your sitting on her tail." She said absently.

"What? Oh I'm so sorry, please excuse me Renamon!" Henry shuffled over and leant back, letting a sigh escape before he spoke again. "So. What's up? Your usually not one to let Kazu get away with cheating in a card game."

"KAZU'S WHAT? KAZU HOW DARE YOU!" In a shocking three seconds Rika had crossed the distance from her sleeping bag to Kazu's where Takato was losing in a battle and grabbed Kazu by the collar and giving him one of her iciest scariest glares ever. She hadn't even tried it on Ryo yet!

"I wasn't doing anything! I swear! Please Rika don't kill me!"

"It's not nice to murder your devoted slave you know Rika."

At the sound of the self assured voice Rika let Kazu drop to the floor with a thud and her gaze shot up to meet the soft azure look of Ryo's blue eyes, Juri at his side putting the keys to the door away.

"Welcome Akiyama. Didn't think you'd show." Covering up her relapse very well Rika smirked at the teen as he strode over and tossed his own sleeping bag out next to Rika's. She was about to snap at him for even daring to think she'd let him sleep next to her when Juri called out,

"PIZZA CALL!" At this Kenta and Kazu both dropped the food they were already stuffing their faces with and rushed to the kitchen to put in their pizza order. Before leaving Ryo flashed the smile Rika knew too well.

"It's called being fashionably late. You of all people should know that."

"How so Mr Fashion Expert?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe the model mother influence? Or did you forget that small fact in your life?"

"Shut up Ryo stop talking like you know my life!" Here comes the irritation part.

"C'mon you know I'm only kidding, jeeze her Highness is in a mood tonight."

"RYO!"

"Ok ok I'm done! Lets get some pizza I'm starved."

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

As the night continued a small card tournament broke out. It was the 'finals' after Takato had a severe defeat from Rika and Juri being beaten by Ryo. Juri took to the defeat reasonably well, taking refuge in Takato's arms and the pair settling back on the couch together to watch the heated battle.

"Ready Wildcat?" His eyes sparkled as he winked.

"You know it Hero Boy." She gave him a look to match his own. A mask of confidence, mocking tainting the air of superiority around them both. Her fleeting fear of losing changed to a fleeting fear of what he would think.

'What are you talking about Rika as if you care what he thinks of you. As if you care what ANYONE thins of you! She returned her gaze to the deck of cards before her. Inside she knew she could win. Everyone was holding their breath not even Kazu had spoken. She glanced up once more only to see the room around her disappear. Juri's anxious face, Takato's furrowed brow, Kazu's blank stare, Henry's encouraging steel grey eyes, Kenta's nervous looks. The room around her with the carpet of sleeping bags and the four walls surrounding them. The ceiling above even the light, casting the nothingness into darkness.

All that remained was the cards, Ryo, and Rika. The thought was faintly unnerving but calmness came over her and she felt her hand glide over to the deck to pull the first card...

(A/N: Hate to destroy the mood I just created but I have no idea how to play this game so I'm going to the finish of the game.)

A sweat had broken out on Ryo's brow as he realised with mild amusement he was losing. Rika was so calm about it too. It was almost annoying. Didn't she care she was beating the Digimon King? But that was unfair. She was after all the Digimon Queen. His perfect match. He knew it but he had to get Rika to realise it too.

He was so caught up in his own thoughts he barely even saw the last card Rika played before the other Tamer's broke out in cheers to celebrate her win. And as if on cue the doorbell rang to herald the arrival of...

"PIZZA!" In his excitement Kazu leapt up and ran straight into the wall while everyone else went casually through the open doorway.

"When we've finished, who's up for a game of Truth or Dare?" Juri piped up, a trail of melted cheese slipping down her chin. ( Dontcha LOVE just that!)

"Yeah sounds fun!"

"Are sure that's smart?" Henry laughed and cast a look at Ryo.

"I'm up for it. Need something to keep my mind of the grim defeat." Ryo feigned a look of sheer sadness and Rika slapped his shoulder playfully.

"Grim defeat, more like complete annihilation!" She shot back sticking out her tongue. Ryo poked her on the nose in response.

"Heh heh but remember, if you refuse a dare or don't tell a truth you will be punished!"

"Like what Takato?"

"Er like um..."

"You get sprayed with shaken up soft drink! Outside of course." Everyone looked over quite surprised at Henry's contribution.

"Do you all accept the challenge? And consequences?"

"YES!"

Crearulian Angel: Well that was a bit boring. Didn't turn out like I expected at all. Oh well it'll do! So if you'd like to put in Truth or Dare options for the Tamer's to perform feel free! But I have a plan for two particular characters so if I don't use your idea or I do DON'T GET MAD! BTW if you'd like more Tajuri please tell me and I can put a bit more in but it'd be fluffy so beware! Aish theres too much fluff already! Anyway review please ^.~ until next time!
