Night's Sky

Chapter Ten

Thank you to all the reviewers who have reviewed me so far in this small journey where you are all reading my very bad writings! Lol! Anyways, a huge thanks to you all 'case you are the ones who are making me carry on! Thank you! xXx.

To the people who said Rika was OCC. Personally, I don't think she was, I mean, this is the kind of way most girls react in that kind of situation, and I know a lot of people are going to probs come back at me saying Rika isn't most girls. Well, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but she actually is. Sure, she carries on a harsh shell at times, but that was more like the begining of the season. After the Icemon episode, she became a lot different, if you didn't notice. I know, she never really showed much affection, but in her own hidden ways she actally showed a lot of concern for her firends and her family. I think the last episode, or second to last where Sakuyamon (can't spell it, don't know if it's right! Sorry!) gives all her power to Ryo. Rika said to Ryo that it could kill him, and she showed a lot of concern, and some ways a lot of love. I am sorry if you still think she was OCC but I this is how I think of her now, a lot of thanks to Cloaked Fox who actually made me sit and watch the season again and look between the lines and beneath the story line, as one may say. I don't mean to be horrid, but I do state in my Bio that if someone brings foward a point of flame me, I will argue (or in this case put right) back with my thoughts. Thanks to Evil Queen for bringing this foward, I see your point and I just wanted to say what was on my mind! Anyways, on with the story!

Night's Sky

chapter Ten- More In Store.

Ryo and I walked back to the clearing. Jeri, Takato, Alice, Henry, Kazu and Kenta were all there.

"Hey Kazu, where'd you go man?" Ryo asked as we got back to the others. It was now very dark and I yawned. Everyone else was in deep conversation.

"Hey gus, I'm going to bed." Ryo nodded at me.

"Goodnight." The other boys said. Jeri and Alice also said their 'goodnight's and followed me into the tent.

"So Rika, why'd you and Ryo go for a walk?". Alice asked curiously as we got inside the tent.

"Well, just to talk really." I said, shrugging my shoulders. "No big deal." Alice gave me a look that read 'theres more to it than that'. I looked over at Jeri who was smiling hopelessly. "Hey Jeri!" She shook herslef from her trance and looked at me, still smiling. Her eyes full of, well, Jeriness really.

"Takato kissed me. Then he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was so romanitc." Jeri sighed, Alice and I rolled my eyes.

"Urgh! To sickening for me! I'm going to sleep."

"Right back at ya!" Alice siad nodding in my direction. Jeri sighed again and got into her sleeping bag. The boys had gotten into their tent already and were talking softly. I remebered the kiss Ryo and I had shared and let out the tinyest sigh. I think Alice heard me, though she never said anything. Slowly I closed by eyes and was taking far away into the dreamworld...

The sun arose pretty early that next morning, but it was nice. When we got up, Takato was busy making breakfast for ourselves and the digimon.

"Renamon, meet me in the woods. I need to talk." I whispered to the wind. I heard my partners response shortly after.

"Morning Rika, want some breakfast?" Takato asked.

"Yeah sure, I'll be right back." I walked a little into the woods and found Renamon quite easily.

"What is it Rika?" she asked me. I climber up a low strong tree and sat on one of the branches. It was pretty comfy, for a tree.

"Renamon, Ryo kised me yesterday." Renamon stayed silent and listened to what I had to say. "Now I'm confused, I mean I really like Ryo. He's such a good friend, but I don;t wanna screw things p, in our friendship I mean. I don't know! I think I'm in love with him, but I mean it's Ryo, he's a conceited big-head. He thinks he's too good for everyone and everything, but then again, he's friendly nice and a good person. He always tries to help me when I'm in trouble, always protecting me, just like you..." I stopped babbeling and looked at my fox friend, hoping for her wise advice.

"Well, Rika. It sounds like you are fond of Ryo, but you always have been. When we bio-merged I could feel the love you felt for him then, especially against the D-Reaper." I shuddered at that word. It brought back bad memories. "I want to give you the best advice I can, let your heart decide this destiny, but remember, there will always be that bond between you and Ryo." With that she disapeared. I stayed where I was and thought about what Renamon had said. She was right, and she had said what was on my mind. Well, it was on my mind but I couldn't figure out how to put it into words. Like when you have that feeling, when somethings on the tip of your tongue. You know? Well, that was how I felt when Renamon was giving me her advice. I jumped down from the tree and whispered a 'Thank you!' to my partner, then made me way back to the smell of breakfast.

Everybody was awake now, sitiing down and talking about future plans. Thing was, at this moment I just wanted to talk. To Alice, or maybe Henry. Yeah Henry, I had known him longer and he was a boy. I just hoped he would be able to help me out too. Plus, I still had to get my revenge, on the ever delightful Ryo...
