Anyone But You

Chapter Four
'Well...that was a horrible afternoon.' Ryo thought as he lay in his tent. The only reason he had come was to talk to Rika, and instead he ended up in the same group as Miranda and Takato. Takato wasn't so bad, but he hadn't quite caught on that Jeri was mad at him. Suzy was a little kid, but knowing how Jeri's mind worked, one of the events would have to do with fashion, and Ms. Princess Pretty Pants would be a bunch of help with that. Then, of course, there was Miranda, the girl who looked like she had crush on him, who turned out, not only to have worn a tub top and no bra, but also a mini skirt and no underwear, as Ryo found while crawling behind her in the tunnel here. Most guys, especially Kazu, would have loved to be behind her, but he wasn't interested in a girl like her. 'It's a good thing I let Kenta pass in front of me five seconds into it, poor guy though, I never saw him so red.'
He heard foot steps outside. He looked out and saw the moonlit form of someone sitting under a tree a good distance away. Realizing it was Rika, he decided to go over and join her.
"Hey."
"Hey." She replied without looking up.
"So, what are you up to?"
"Nothing. Just hanging out."
"Cool," He sat next to her.
Silence.
"So...I was wondering...what happened last night?"
"Wha?"
"You know...I joked around and you just...hugged me."
She just raised an eyebrow. "Oh...is that what you think I did."
"Uh.." He felt the heat rising to his face.
Rika couldn't help but feel bad as she watched him. He obviously had a hard time asking the question, and she was only making it worse by acting as if he had told her something as boring and unaffecting as two times two equals four. But she couldn't, wouldn't, let him know what she felt towards him. Even IF he was acting like he liked her too. She was Rika Nonaka, Digimon Queen, and Ice Princess, and she would NOT let her emotions over anyone, especially some guy, ESPECIALLY him, get the best of her. EVER. 'Damn it, Ryo,' She thought for the millionth time since she admitted the crush to herself, ' Why'd it have to be you? It could have been anyone, but it just had to be you.' At times she thought someone up here had to have a twisted sense of humor.
Ryo sat there, trying to think of some way out of the embarrassment, but it was already clearly shown on his face. 'WHY'D I have to ask her? I should have known better than to get my hopes up. She probably thinks I'm an idiot. Wait, this is Rika. She thinks I'm more of an idiot than she did before.' But he couldn't say anything, so he just stood there, waiting for the insult, the put down, the cruel layout of factual information. Anything.
"Your weird."
His head shot up, "Huh?"
She smiled, same as last time, "Later." And left.
'Again.' he thought
When she got back to her tent, Rika laughed to herself, thinking of the look on his face when she said he was weird. Which was, of course, true, however completely out of what she would normally say.
She laid down, it was now about nine-thirty, still early on her night owl standards, but she was tired. She sighed unhappily, and wondered if, perhaps, she should have told him. Immediately after she thought this she snapped out of it and mentally smacked herself.
Then she thought of his smile, and how it felt to be in his arms, and she wrapped her arms around her spare pillow, pretending it was him, and fell asleep.

Tell me just what you want me to be
One kiss and boom you're the only one for me
So please tell me why don't you come around no more
Cause right now I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this
A little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs
A little bit of pain
I'm telling you, my babe
It's all in the game of love
This, whatever you make it to be
Sunshine set on this cold lonely sea
So please baby try and use me for what I'm good for
It ain't sayin' goodbye that's knocking down the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this
A little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs
A little bit of pain
I'm telling you, my babe
It's all in the game of love
It's all in this game of love
You roll me
Control me
Console me
Please hold me
You guide me
Divide me
Into what...
Make me feel good, yeah
So please tell me why don't you come around no more
Cause right now I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
It just takes a little bit of this
A little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs
A little bit of pain
I'm telling you, my babe
It's all in the game of love
It's all in this game of love
It's all in the game of love
Game of Love
