by: falkoren
Disclaimer: If I owned it the digimon would NEVER leave. sadly, I don't.
A/N: This chapter may be a bit emotional so if you don't like emotional then don't read it but I suggest you do anyway so you know what's going on later.

"What. happened to you?" Jeri still was the only one who had managed to push words out of her mouth.
"I have just opened my eyes to reality. Nothing I want will come to me so I have to take it with the iron grip I have been granted." He raised his hand to eye level and clenched it into a fist exposing the contour of the veins coursing through his hand.
Henry eased Jeri back a bit with the rest of them. Fear and worry began to grow in each of them as they realized the Ryu they knew was gone, but in his shell lay a dark being that thrived on the very same fear they experienced now.
Tears began to find their way to Jeri's eyes as she continued to speak. "Why are you doing this Ryu? This isn't you!"
"Your wrong! This is me! I am me! I may not be the same ignorant boy I was before but now my eyes are open, and I see who I really am." He stares coldly at the tamers then notices Jeri's tears. He walks over to her and brings a hand up to her face, taking a tear from her face. "What's this! A tear, for me!" He laughs loudly as he crushes the tear in his hand. "Happiness, sadness, confusion, anger. Emotions, no more than a sign of weakness! Yet, its emotions I have to thank for my current power. (scoff) The irony."
The tamers were perplexed by what he said. They didn't think emotions could drive Ryu of all people insane (A/N I knew he was nuts from the beginning). Henry started speaking in a somewhat shaky voice. "What do you. mean?"
"I'll tell you what I mean." He looks hard into Rika's fearful yet curious eyes. "I used to love her." He raises a hand to point at the astonished Rika. "Oh, but I never told her because it was painfully obvious that she cared more for Takato than me! I saw her once before in the park before I became what I am." His eyes slowly returned to their original color as he began to remember. "I remember it as clearly today as I did yesterday and the day before that and the day before that." He looked up into the sky out through the tall sturdy doors of the castle through his teary eyes. Yes, he had become the same Ryu that fought with them those few short months ago.
~Ryu's flashback~
It's a perfect Valentine's day in Japan, perfect for Ryu at least. Ryu had previously left a note in Rika's mini-locker it read,
Dear Rika,
Please meet me in Shinjuku Park outside Guilmon's house.

Ryu had small box of dark chocolates behind his back as he closed in on his valentine. Rika. When he stood about five feet behind her Takato came running with a bag in his hands. He looked up to see Rika to his left. Rika looked up with a surprised expression on her face.
"Hi Rika!" He stops and breathes heavily for a moment before continuing. "They're kinda crummy but I made 'em myself and they have a special filling!" He hands Rika a flaky somewhat burnt crescent-looking thing. Then he notices Ryu standing right behind her. "I have one for you to Ryu!" Rika turns around to notice Ryu is standing there.
He chuckles nervously while he waves one hand side to side. "That's alright, I don't need one." He brought out his other hand and offered it to Rika. "I brought these for you." He looked at her face that didn't have quite as much surprise in her face as it did when Takato had handed her the less. sweet looking gift.
"I guess I'll give it to Guilomon then." He slipped it back into the bag before looking back at Rika. "Don't worry about White day because I don't really expect anything from anyone. See ya!" He runs off towards Guilmon's house up the stairs nearby as he scrambled to get two 'treats' out of his bag.
{I'm sure she'll pick me for White day!} He walked away at an easy pace absolutely sure that he'd get something on White day.
Two weeks later on White day Rika carried a small red box that held one white chocolate. In the corner was a small heart shirt exactly like the one she often wore, Rika's little trademark symbol. It was between classes and she silently moved up to Takato's locker and slipped it inside. Ryu was peeking around the corner at that moment and witnessed it. He immediately filled with jealousy, and as soon as she was far enough away he threw open Takato's locker and grabbed the chocolate. He passed by a trash can on the way back to class and threw away the chocolate right after crushing it with his furious hand.
~End Ryu flashback~
Ryu's eyes gradually returned to their current crimson shade as the story reached its climax. "So you see I am the final result of emotions. They are what made me who I am, and guided me to where I belong."
"You think you can boss us around!" Kazu had to be held back by Guardromon before he charged into Ryu fist first.
Henry looked at Jeri worriedly, whom has been crying for a while now. Then it dawned on him. Jeri had loved the previous Ryu. The one they used to know. The thought saddened him greatly. The one girl he ever gave his heart to loved another. Anger began to grow inside him. No, it wasn't jealousy. It was the fact that Ryu was the one that Jeri was crying for. He was the reason Jeri was sad. He intended to fix that.
"Ryu!" Henry edged himself in front of Jeri. "We're going to defeat you. You've caused to much suffering for me to forgive you!"
"Has the hero popped up in this troop of losers?" He began to laugh again. That is, until Talon's katana quickly popped off a button as a warning. Then he got serious. "You idiots are trying to challenge me!?" His blood boiled as his anger peaked. "Cyberdramon!~" Moments later the black digimon appeared behind him. "Get ready for battle."
Cyberdramon nodded in agreement, as he placed himself aside Ryu preparing for battle.
"Agumon, ready yourself!" Talon's right hand moved from his sword to his digivice in moments, and his other over his cards.
"Come on! We have to help these people!" Terriermon took a defensive position in front of Henry and flared his ears. (A/N Henry is speaking here)
Jeri began slowly edging back as Leomon took place in front of Henry and Terriermon. Renamon leaped next to Talon and Agumon with a metal pole she borrowed and held like a quarterstaff with Rika next to her. Kazu and Kenta stood behind them all trying to keep the digimon calm and acting as the last line of defense.
"Do you actually think that you," He raises his finger to point at Talon. "and this pitiful bunch of has-beens, can defeat me!?" He swipes his hand through the air in front of him to emphasize his anger and annoyance. Then he lowers his hand regaining his composition and turns left making his eyes gleam in the sunlight. He scoffs and lowers his head as if pitying the tamers before continuing. "What hope is there that you will understand? If you cannot understand then die by my hand! Cyberdramon attack!"
Cyberdramon immediately charges forward and.. (A/N ...cliffhanger)
Neraphimon pounds on his screen in anger. "That idiot! He's going to ruin my plans! If he defeats the tamers then everything that I have strived will be for nothing!" The picture on the screen grows more interference every time he pounds on it. Before long, the picture is totally lost to static. His drool slips out of his mouth slowly and onto the screen as his heavy breath echoes throughout the dank room. "I won't let him ruin it."
Author end comments: For those that don't know, White day is the day two weeks after Valentine's day where, in Japan, girl's give white chocolates back to the boy that they like, supposing that the boy gave them dark chocolates on Valentine's day. It's kinda cute actually. Anyway, I thought this chapter turned out kinda well and it was longer than the last one. Thankfully, it wasn't as emotional as I had originally thought. Oh ya b4 I forget the cliffhanger is because it makes it seem more like an anime so don't get angry bout that plz. Plz review! Oyasumi minna! (goodnight all)
