Finally, here is the fourth chapter. I haven't been updating much for a lot of reasons and I can't find the time to type much. Sorry for the wait when I usually update so fast…Also, if Ruki or Ryo narrates, there will be Ryuki. If Takato or Juri, Jerato. I was supposed to make this chapter Kazu but since I needed someone to talk to Jen, I'll make it Takato instead. Why not Ruki? Well because then there might be more Ryuki than Leelice. Although Ruki would be good…I'll give Takato a chance first. Let's see what he can do. Also, Jen might be more comfortable with a guy than a girl. So there. Also, I don't know why Jen and Alice watched Planet of the Apes. That was the first thing that came to my mind o.O
--------------------------------------------------
The Power of Friendship: Takato's experience
Hey I'm Matsuda Takato and I bet you all know that already. I don't know why they made me narrate! Oh well, I guess I gotta give it a shot.
I remember when I asked Juri to go to the movies. She agreed instantly, making my heart leap. Anyways, I'll skip right to the part when we were at the movies. Well we arrived there and when I was buying popcorn, Juri mysteriously ran behind a post. I was freaked out. Maybe she was possessed again? Maybe not. She acted normal…While I chose the popcorn, I saw Ruki and waved at her. She ignored me and went over to some bench where I also saw Alice. I also saw Ryo looking over the movies list. Weird!
Hesitantly I pulled Juri to the movie house. We had been late. We watched the movie in silence, my jacket and arm around her as she leaned her head on my shoulder. Ahhhh…it was a great night. Juri didn't mention anything about Alice, Ruki, Jen and Ryo so I didn't suspect a thing.
After the movie, Juri began looking around.
"Juri who or what are you looking for?"
"Oh, uhmmm…no one or nothing"
"Then why are you looking around?"
"Oh nothing…Looking for Alice, Ruki, Jen or Ryo…"
Then I suspected her instantly. I asked her what was wrong and what had happened to the four. She told me everything, her plan, her objectives etc. My eyes grew wide with wonder. My Juri was trying to get people together and was secretly playing matchmaker?! Aww…how sweet. We walked home together as we looked up at the stars. One reminded me of the entrance to the Digiworld…It looked a lot like Mars…MARS?! Cool I saw Mars! I pointed it out to Juri as she squealed with delight.
That night the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Takato?"
"Who's this?"
"Jen"
"Do you know…?"
"Yeah I know of Juri's evil plan and evil mind"
"How dare you say she's evil?!"
"Chill Takato. It was a joke"
"Oh…"
"Hey Takato can I ask you something?"
"Oh sure"
"What did you feel when you first saw Juri?"
"She was my classmate…"
"That's not what I mean"
"Oh okay. Mr. Arf Arf was freaky"
"Duh. No not that the other that"
"Eh?"
"You don't get me noh?"
"Yeah"
"I mean that l-word"
"Oh you mean love?"
"Yeah. I checked the thesaurus for its meaning but I can't understand it"
"What did it say?"
". Feel affection for. Verb. Like. Verb. Affection. Noun. Darling. Noun. Synonyms; adore, worship, be in love with, is devoted to, care for, find irresistible, be keen on…"
"You got me there Jen"
"Okay so what did you feel?"
"I felt all tingly and warm inside. Not to mention really…cheerful and…emotional…"
"Ah freaky. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"
"You like Alice?"
"Ooh your psycho. Now what should I do?"
"Well…"
"What did you do with Juri?"
"It mostly started with Guilmon and the Digiworld. Then I brought her home and saved her from the D-Reaper and she hugged me"
"So what should I do?"
"I suggest you don't tell her at once since it might break your friendship. You take Martial Arts together right?"
"Yeah…"
"Well then you got it! Communicate there and perhaps you can invite her out once in a while and you'll gradually grow closer!"
"Oh okay…I'll try that…thanks Takato"
"You're welcome. Wait Jen, did you watch something with Alice?"
"Uhmmm…yeah…'Planet of the Apes'"
"Weird! Hey I think Ruki watched something with Ryo…"
"Yeah…The Ring I think"
"Never thought they'd do something together…Miracle Ryo survived"
"You got that right!"
"Hey I gotta go. Bye!"
"Bye Takato and thanks!"
I hung up, a smile on my face. Jen's in love! Hehehehe…Wonder how Ryo survived? Maybe…nah. That's impossible. But maybe though…oh well. This is Leelice after all…After that talk with Jen I fell asleep instantly.
The next day, I had Mantou for breakfast. I remember the time when Mantou saved the day…That's another story. Anyways, after breakfast and a nice long bath I went to school with my backpack etc. I met up with Kazu and Kenta there. Kazu was threatening Kenta to…something.
"If you tell YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" Kazu was practically bonking Kenta in the head over and over again.
"I won't tell! I won't tell!" Poor, poor Kenta…
I rushed over to them and asked what was wrong. Kazu glared at Kenta and he vowed not to tell. They both dashed away, leaving a cloud of dust in my face. The dust smelt strongly of…dog dung? EWWWW! I think Kazu stepped on dog dung…If Ruki knew this Kazu will suffer eternal insults.
I entered my classroom. Good thing we had to change our shoes for school or else Kazu would have stunk up the room! I glanced over at the two and snickered, signaling Kazu that I knew. He glared at Kenta and bonked him. I saw Juri look my way and flash a smile. My stomach felt all tingly as I smiled back. Then the teacher reigned over the class and taught us…History. Boring.
After school Juri ran over to me, laughing. "Kazu stepped on dog dung!" She whispered excitedly in my ear. I whispered back "I know"
She then urged me to go somewhere with her after school. I was bewildered because, for one thing, we had homework and Juri's house was pretty far. I asked her where we're going.
"We're going spying!"
"Eh?"
"We're spying at Jen and Alice! They're taking Martial Arts training today at Shinjuku. Alice told me. You are going with me, right Takato?"
"uhmmm yeah. But we have homework"
"There isn't much. Besides, we can do our homework while spying!" Juri had a great mind. Wonder why it was possessed by D-reaper? Oh well…
"Sure! Will we bring Kazu and his sidekick?"
"Nah. They'll spread dung all over the place!" I agreed. We made our way to Shinjuku Park, sat on a bench and looked around for Alice or Jen. Finally Juri spotted Alice with Jen. Both were wearing white uniforms. Jen had a belt tied around his waist and Alice none. They positioned themselves in an empty space and bowed.
Jen made a karate move and motioned Alice to follow. She tried but fell, blushing furiously. Jen helped her up and told her to attack him. She did but missed. Kick. Miss. Kick. Miss. She couldn't hit him. She was heaving after this. Jen gave her a water break. She went over to a bush where their drinks were. Juri crept up to her and the two talked for a while. They emerged, Alice blushing and Juri smiling. Again she took her place beside me and told me everything once more.
"Hey Takato, did you know that Alice likes Jen?!" I was astonished.
"Really? Juri, uhmmm, don't tell anyone k?"
"Sure"
"Jen likes Alice too. Keep quiet" She giggled her cute giggle and nodded her head. Mr. Arf Arf was nodding too…shaking, actually.
We quietly did our homework, stealing glances at Jen and Alice. Bother were still practicing. Once Alice kicked him in the face, he caught her foot with his hand after blocking it. He had blushed angrily and let go. Alice looked over at Juri as Juri, being Juri, giggled once more. I looked at her laugh before returning to my homework. Jen and Alice were like a TV show, now and then having a blooper or an embarrassing moment. I can't believe that Jen didn't even see me. Alice definitely did…
The next day Juri was squealing with delight as she retold me the event of yesterday, she was giggling after every sentence. She planned to spy on them again this afternoon but then, oh that dreaded homework just had to come noh?
At recess Juri gathered me, Kazu and Kenta together.
"Hey guys guess what?!"
"What?"
"It's Alice's birthday next Saturday and she's inviting us!" Then, to me "She's inviting Jen too!"
-----------------------------------------------
Well, believe it or not but that was the end of this chapter. I KNOW IT SUCKS SO PLEASE DON'T FLAME ME ABOUT HOW MUCH IT SUCKS. It's hard to relate Takato to anything that's happening and I think it would be better for Juri, Ruki or (for a funny chapter) Kazu to tell it…Don't ya think? Takato doesn't seem fit to tell this Leelice story anyway…
