What are a few Raindrops between Friends?
Chapter III
Henry comes out on the stage, reading from a piece of paper:
Henry: 'MZ-Networks does not own Digimon, so please don't sue him. If you do, you'll get nothing…' *That's strange…*
MZ: Hey, would you just read that?!?!
Henry: Why?
MZ: 'Cos I can delete you easily :D
Henry: Oops… ok… 'Things that are written *like this* are the person's thoughts, and things 'like this' are things that are being read from somewhere else… also, Henry will be the introducer of the story…' HEY!!
MZ: I'm warning you… (is about to start erasing Henry)
Henry: (dodges the backspace button) '… until MZ-Networks decides to insert him in the story. Please note that MZ-Networks needs your reviews to continue the story, and please continue reading this. Enjoy it!!' *Yeah, who would enjoy such a thing?*
MZ: (hits backspace button and Henry is vaporized). Anyway, on with the story…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody noticed the hug, as they were all staring at the
Digital Field.
"Takato…" said Rika.
"Yeah?"
"There's been something… I wanted to tell you…
Takato gulped… *What does she want? And why is she hugging me!?*
"You see… Takato… I…"
Suddenly, Rika realized that she was hugging Takato, and immediately jumped out of his arms.
"S…sorry about that…"
"It's OK Rika, just tell me what you want."
Rika started to turn red, and she wanted to be swallowed up by the ground. "You see…"
At that moment, the Digital Field disappered, and Leomon appeared in its place.
"LEOMON!!" shrieked Jeri, as she sprinted over to him and hugged him.
"Jeri… I'm back," he said, watching his Tamer as she hugged him tightly. The other 3 Digimon watched, and Calumon's ears grew really big.
Guilmon and Renamon just stood there, looking at the happy reuinion.
On the other hand, Rika was still mumbling something to Takato.
"I've always felt… something… Takato…"
Completely misunderstanding, Takato started worrying.
"Are you sick? Do you need something? Maybe you have fever? Why didn't you say this sooner?"
*Why doesn't he notice that I'm not sick?*
"No… I'm fine… it's not that. Really, I…"
Suddenly, Rika noticed that every single person/Digimon in the room was staring at them.
"Can we… go outside, Takato?"
*What does she want to tell me?*
"Sure," he replied, whilst turning to the others, "will you excuse us for a moment?"
Nodding in reply, Takato and Rika went out. The air was cool, and it was a relief to be out of the hot room.
"Takato… I wanted to tell you how I felt," she said, going even redder than before, "about you…"
*I told him?*
"Rika… what do you mean?"
*I know what she means, but… I don't know…*
"Just that… I… you see… you were always there for me… I mean that… you know… when I was… like… all angry and stuff… you always talked to me… and made me realize that I was… important… and then… I sorta… felt something for you… and I think… I have a crush… on you…"
*What did I just say?*
Takato couldn't believe his ears, "Rika…" Completely forgetting the others, he hugged Rika tightly, "I have a crush on you too… I love you Rika…"
*Did Takato just say that to me? Oh my, he's hugging me?*
"Takato… thanks… I think I… I mean… I'm sure I love you too…"
Tears started to swell in her eyes, and Takato brushed them off with the back of his hands, "Don't cry…"
Suddenly, Rika brushed her lips against her lover's, and going even redder, she pulled away from him, "Sorry about that."
"Rika… don't be sorry…"
*Did he just say that? Did I just kiss him?"
Completely oblivous to the fact that the others were now watching, Takato kissed Rika lightly again, giving her a huge hug in the process, "I'm so happy…"
However, the happiness they shared stopped, as another Digital Field appeared, bringing out another Digimon. Jeri started reading from her Digivice.
" 'Deamon, the remains of the D-Reaper, Evolved into a Digimon. At the Rookie level, he's more powerful than 5 Champions put together.' What does that mean?? He's really powerful…"
The mouth of the Digimon opened. Words came out; with each word, each of them felt weaker and weaker. "Ah… Jeri… the one that lived in me… the clone that I made… you will all suffer greatly… for defeating me… however… now I'll just take the two love-birds… be back later, Jeri Katou!"
A red cord came down, and started to turn around Takato & Rika.
"Takato! Help!"
"RIKA!!! Don't worry!! I'll save you if it's the last thing I do!"
*That's the exact thing I said to Jeri a month ago…*
"Leomon! I want to ask you to help them, but this time, I'll help you! Digi-Modify! Fairymon's Brezza Petalo Activate!"
An image of Fairymon's card appeared, as the data was absorbed by Leomon:
"Brezza… Petalo!"
Strands of petals went around the red cords surrounding Rika & Takato. They raised their Digivices in the air, looking at each other, knowing that they weren't data, but hoping for a miracle to happen…
Suddenly, the Digivices started to shine, as Rika & Takato started to feel lighter, and they were about to try and BioMerge, when Deamon wrapped another cord around them, and took them away… away from Jeri… away from the Digimon… away from home… but with each other…

I hope you liked this chapter! I focused a lot on Rukato
(Rika x Takato), but now the battle versus Deamon has started to take place,
ne? Continue reviewing, and tell me how you want the story to progress!
