Anyone But You
By: Empress Hikari
Chapter Six
The rang, and Ryo silently thanked it, as he took off. If he were Jeri he probably would have ran over and hugged the noisy thing, but he wasn't now was he.
"Oh, Reee-yo! Wait up!" A rather annoying, highly pitched, voice called.
'No Way In Hell.' He wasn't stopping to wait for her, 'She's worse than the stupid fan club at school.' Not that he actually had a fan club that he knew of, and he was too scared to call it that in front of the large group of people, lest they get any ideas.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
"You like him."
"No, I don't."
"You LIKE him."
"No. I. Don't." Replied the red head for the umpteenth time. While glaring at her best friend, despite the fact that he was behind her and she was facing in front, and if he kept this up much longer the word former would be in front of that title.
"You like Ry_"
"NO I DON'T!" She yelled, spinning on her heels to face him, glaring daggers.
Henry just stared at her calmly, she knew that intimidation never worked on him. She'd never do anything to him, even though with the way she was acting right now, Kazu would have pissed his pants in fright. "Yes, Rika, you do."
Completely frustrated, and completely out of options other than to go over there and deck him, which they both knew she wouldn't do, at least not to him, she turned and walked away, toward the clearing in which they were to meet with the others. "I hate you, Wong." She muttered.
He just smiled.
When they arrived in the clearing the only other one's there were Kenta, Jeri, and Ryo. The last was using the shade provided by the table to sit down and cool off, a.k.a. hiding from Miranda behind the table.
One by one everyone trailed into the place.
"Okay, so, now that everyone is here I would like the members of all the teams to get together with their groups and see how many items your team has." Jeri told them.
Miranda hadn't heard a word though. She was too busy with Ryo. "Why did you leave me out in the woods all by myself? I could've gotten hurt, and you didn't even care. So to make it up to me, which I know you want to, I will allow you to go out with me." She ended with a smile.
"WHAT?!?" Ryo yelled.
Henry couldn't handle seeing his friend go through this anymore. I mean none of this would have happened if he had just asked Rika out earlier.
"Excuse me," he said as he walked over to them.
"Uh, yes?" Miranda asked, giving him a dirty look.
"It's just that Ryo is a tamer." He told her. Ryo looked at him oddly as he said this, but decided to keep his mouth shut.
"So?" She was still using that bitchy tone.
"That means he's not allowed to date anyone but other tamers." Henry replied, calmly.
She looked shocked by this news. Ryo was relieved but looked like he'd start laughing any minute.
"Well Jeri is dating that goggle boy and you and that girl over there seem to be hooked up, so who else his age is there left to date. The other girls are just little kids and I know he's not gay. So he might as well date me," As she said the last part she hugged the boy beside her, who was trying to figure out how she was able to figure that, considering how ditzy she had been recently.
"Actually," Henry started, knowing he may end up regretting this. But if nothing else the results would be interesting. "Rika and I aren't dating. She and Ryo have been going out for a couple months now."
Everyone froze. Well...everyone who was listening, so just Ryo, Miranda, and Rika. Miranda was getting more and more upset every second, meanwhile Ryo and Rika were each doing an amazingly deer in the headlights, and goldfish impressions.
"You jerk!" She turned and hit Ryo, "You strung me along this whole time and your going out with her!"
"Uh...uh.."
And she turned and ran off toward her tent.
Ryo and Rika just continued to stare at Henry.
"So," Jeri interrupted, " Have you found out how many items your team got?"
"Uh, we need more time," Ryo said, and they separated to their groups.
As they added up their points, Henry got extremely worried. Rika and Ryo hadn't said a word to anyone and had this really weird look on their faces.
The scores were tallied up, for team one: Kenta had gotten ten items, Ai had twelve, Henry fifteen, and Rika thirteen, giving their team a total of fifty points. For team two: Alice had thirteen, Jeri had eleven, Mako had eight, and Kazu had twelve, giving them 44. And for team three: Ryo had fourteen, Miranda had three, Suzy had twelve, and Takato had eleven, so they had 40. So team one came in first and had a total of sixty points, and team two had forty-nine.
Everyone then went back to their tents, with the exception of Miranda, who had left earlier.
Rika got into her tent without a word to Jeri, Henry, Alice, or even Renamon. Henry stared after her. He was beginning to wonder if he should have said what he had. There were other things he could have said. he could have told Miranda that Ryo's girlfriend was sick and couldn't come today. He could have said he was secretly engaged to some girl in America. he could have said a lot. but he picked the most effective answer. He had hoped it would make the two stubborn tamers talk about it and admit their feelings. Apparently he didn't know the two as well as he thought he had.
~*~
Ryo stared at his tent flap, having not yet gone in. 'Why'd he have to say that? Of all the things he could have said why that?' Henry was best friends with both him and Rika. He had known about his feelings for the hot-tempered tamer. And no doubt, he knew of her non-existent feelings for him. The boy had probably thought he could help him hook up with Rika and lose Miranda. But Ryo already knew that Rika had no interest in him romantically. She barely treated him like a human being. God only knew how much he would give for Henry's statement to be true, but how Henry could have thought that would have worked was beyond him. 'Stupid Rika, if I had fallen for anyone else I could have been going out with someone, I wouldn't be getting chased around by screaming girls, and I wouldn't feel like crawling under a rock and dying every single time I'm reminded that you're out of my league.' Sighing quietly to himself, he walked over to his tent and lifted the flap, 'Why you, Rika? I could have fallen for anyone, but it had to be you, and I don't even have a chance. It could have been anyone else. Anyone but you.' into his tent, and took a nap, after sunset, the next event would begin.
~*~
'Damn you, Henry,' Rika thought. 'Why would he say I was going out with Ryo? If the fact he said that spreads, people might believe it,' and the last thing she needed was Jeri questioning her about it. Or worse, Kazu. He'd tell everyone at school. Sighing, she rolled over on her side, 'I wonder what Ryo thought of that...Would he have wanted to go out with me? Do I want to go out with RYO???' Already knowing the answer to that last question, she rolled over and started to go to sleep. 'Damn you, Ryo.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn it inside out So I can see The part of you That's drifting over me And when I wake You're never there But when I sleep You're everywhere You're everywhere Just tell me How I got this far Just tell me Why you're here And who you are 'Cause every time I look You're never there And every time I sleep You're always there
CHORUS: 'Cause you're Everywhere to me And when I close my eyes It's you I see You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone Whoa whoa I'm not alone
I recognise the way You make me feel It's hard to think that You might not be real I sense it now The water's getting deep I try to wash the pain Away from me Away from me
Repeat chorus
I am not alone Whoa, oh, ooh, oh
And when I touch your hand It's then I understand The beauty that's within It's now that we begin You always light my way I hope there never Comes a day No matter where I go I always feel you so
'Cause you're Everywhere to me And when I close my eyes It's you I see You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone
'Cause you're Everywhere to me And when I catch my breath It's you I breathe You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone Whoa whoa
Oh, you're in Everyone I see So tell me Do you see me?
