A/N: Oh yeah…Story's once again disclaimed as of now! Now, back to hot guys for me!
Forgetting Someone Like You Chapter 5: Blondes, Gangsters and…Ryo Akiyama
"You're WHAT?!" the, um, "Tamers," as Neko called them, yelled at me.
"This is some weird and sick joke you're pulling, right? Are you back to normal?" Kazu yelled at me, laughing. I just looked at him, hoping that it said that I wasn't joking.
"She's not joking..." Henry said trailing off.
"But you hate your dad!" Kenta blurted out.
"No I don't! The Rika you knew did, not me!" I defended my father.
"But why now? Can't you wait till the semester is over?" Takato said, acting kind of melancholy. Was he out of character?
"Can't you see? I don't belong here. It will be better for me to start off new. And my dad is the only one that I actually connected with-"
"You can connect with us, just like you did before! You can't leave, Rika!" Ryo yelled suddenly.
"He's right! You just can't leave! What about your mom!?" Jeri said through her tears.
"What about her!? Why can't you guys just accept that I'm not the Rika who's your friend! To tell you the truth, I don't even like you guys!" I said, storming out indignantly. They probably hate me, but the weird thing is, I want them to. It's probably better for them to hate me, that way they can forget about me and move on with their lives.
"Rika. Why are you leaving?" the fox-thing said on a tree.
"Renamon, wasn't it?" I asked. She nodded.
I clenched my fists. "I'm sorry..."
"For what?" she jumped down.
"I-I can't be your tamer any more. I've changed too much."
"Rika..."
"Please, don't be sad, and don't say that I'll get used to you because I won't. You scare me, you know? You should find a tamer that's not afraid of you..." I said running off for the second time that day.
Tears pooled in my eyes. Why should I be crying? I just met these people. I mean they're all weird!
No. It's not that. I'm the weird one. Running from my problems instead of dealing with them. I don't want them to cry... I crouched down and held my head, the far to familiar blackness came; then suddenly stopped.
"Renamon!" My voice came out of nowhere. I looked up. Another me was crying, a little bit above her was a smaller Renamon floating up to something. Why?
"Be strong, Rika," chibi Renamon said before she disappeared. Why did she go? I'm so confused..
The pain and blackness came back, this time back at reality. I was back at the place I ran to after I got spooked. How'd that happen?
"Not so tough now, are you?" I heard a high-pitched voice ask, laughter in the background. I heard a slap and a body falling.
"You bitch," I heard Neko's raspy whisper contort.
My eyes widened. Neko was in trouble. I ran in her direction. Sure, I felt like a dog sensing that her owner's in trouble, but she was a really good friend. I turned the corner, and found a sight that I would prevent to see. There was blood everywhere, the preppy blondes I "met" yesterday was kicking Neko's wounded body.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled enraged, tackling then swiping one of the blondes. Before I knew it, I was being held by one of them, feeling pain in every inch of my body. If I met the person who said "A paper cut is the worse pain you can get" I would hurt them so much that even it's own mother wouldn't recognize them.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? The great Digimon Queen and Neko Taniguchi getting all beaten up by a couple of girls? I never would have thought...kind of pathetic really," Aki said walking towards us with a look of disapproval his followers behind him laughing.
I looked to my side, Neko glaring hard at him. I felt the strange wash of apprehension flood over me with a deep shiver.
"Maybe we should send Rika back to the hospital, she's leaving anyway," Aki said with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Don't you dare," Neko said trying to stand, Ame pushing her down.
"I will. Just think of it as a farewell present," he said, taking out a bat his cronies doing the same. My eyes widened. They were going to kill me. I didn't even do anything to them...
"Let's get her good. Look what she did to me!" the blonde said showing her scratches. The boys picked their bats and pipes up ready to strike. I started to cry as they rapidly hit me.
"H-help," I whispered, silently crying. Neko was yelling out too; the girls were back on her.
"Revenge is sweet, is it not?" Aki said while clubbing me. Why won't they stop? I get the point!
"Aki, Ame! Stop it!" a boys voice ordered.
"Give us a reason why we should, Yama," Ame returned an order. The clubbing had stopped, but I couldn't even get up and run, all I could do was watch hoping Yama can talk some sense into his, um leader?
"One, you're going to kill them. Two, Chokata-sensei is coming this way. I would run if I were you," Yama replied, casually leaning on the wall. Is he here to rescue us or to help his gang?
Aki and Ame exchanged looks then nodded. They both did a gesture that told their group to leave. Yama stayed.
"Is Chokata-sensei really coming?" Neko asked coughing.
"No. You guys alright?" Yama asked walking towards us.
"Haha. Just like old times eh?" Neko said standing. Standing?! How can she stand?!
"Yeah, tell me about it! Can you walk, Rika? Here, try standing," he said giving me his hand. I took it and hoisted myself up. I guess I was over-reacting, I can walk and stand...
"Thanks, I really thought I was going to die," I acknowledged.
"Haha. You wouldn't have died. You would have fainted, but not die," Yama laughed.
"We should go to the nurse. Thanks again Yama," Neko said grabbing my arm, leading me to the nurses office.
The nurse didn't ask any questions. She just bandaged Neko and me up and left. Not a word at all. She only told us to stay in bed for the rest of the day. I thought that was weird, but I guess it's good since I wouldn't know how to explain this.
"So, are the rumors true?" Neko asked holding and ice pack to her chest.
"What rumors?"
"That you're leaving! Moving to Kyushu to live with your dad," Neko turned to me.
"Yeah. I didn't know that there'd be rumors about it though..." I said looking at the wall. A smack was heard and a sharp pain was felt on my head. "What was that for?" I asked looking at Neko with a questioning look.
"You can't leave!"
"Why not?"
"How do you think you're going to get your memory back if you're not with the people you love?!" Neko yelled slamming the ice pack on the ground.
" 'People I love?' 'People I LOVE?! Since you know everything, who are the 'people I love' anyway?" I yelled back at her.
"That's a simple question. Your mom, grandma, and Ryo! Oh yeah, and I forgot, Renamon maybe?"
"My mom and grandma are a little too weird for me, and who's Ryo?" I asked innocently.
Neko sighed. "Forget about them right now. What about Renamon?"
"About her... I'm not going to be her tamer anymore..."
"What?"
"I mean. You know way more about her then me. I guess what I'm trying to say is…um… here," I said handing her my D-Power.
"What-"
"Rika! Oh honey what's happened?! I was so worried when you didn't come home after lunch!" Mom yelled throwing herself at me. Renamon appeared next to my bed, making me jump.
"Why didn't you call me? I could have prevented this," she said looking down at me.
"Rika?! What happened to you and my daughter? I'll make sure to put the people who did this to you in jail," Daddy said to Neko.
"Heh. With all due respect, Mr. Nonaka, I don't need your help. I'm not pressing charges," Neko said smiling.
"Well, can we at least give you a ride home? You shouldn't walk in the condition your in," grandma said for my dad. Neko nodded.
All my stuff was already at my dad's house. I couldn't wait to see what was over there. I was so anxious, I didn't think I'd be able to go to sleep that night.
"Rika," Renamon said from the corner of my room.
"Uh yeah?" I still didn't trust her.
"I'm going with you."
"What?! But I thought I told you I can't be your tamer?!"
"But you are, no matter what you say, I'll always be by your side when you call. You aren't just my tamer, you are my partner. Do you understand? As long as I'm alive, I will come to your call."
"If you can hear me..." She looked at me confused. I laughed. "If you can't hear me you can't come right?"
"Yes. If I can hear you, I'll come." I smiled, even if she couldn't see me.
I woke up early so I could leave even faster. Got to wake up my dad up! I ran out of my room, passed the kitchen, and towards my dad's room. I knocked on his door, but nothing came.
"Ha, and I was about to wake you," Dad said from behind me. I smiled. I felt like a kid going to an amusement park for the first time. I'd bet I was also acting like one, but it didn't matter! I was going to live with my dad, with my very own body guard named Renamon!
I was saying good-bye to my mom and Grandma when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" I exclaimed running to the door. Today was a Saturday so no one from school would be here. So I could answer the door without a care in the world...or so I thought.
The Digimon King, Akiyama Ryo was standing on my door step panting and soaked in sweat. Wait. How'd I know his nick name and last name?
"Rika.. I know you don't hate everyone. Please don't go," he begged. Begged? Mr. Perfect begging? That's a first. Wait…where'd that come from?
A/N: So how'd you like that? Well, looks like their school is now officially renowned for violent assaults. Please credit Evil Queen for this chapter since she wrote it. Okies, I'm going to watch the Olympics again…
Later dudes,
Amethyst (and Evil Queen says bye too)
Floramon: Yeah, and me.
A/N: No one cares about you…
Floramon: Geez, I take such a verbal beating, don't I? looks around Don't I?
