Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life was nothing to talk or think about. It had all started with a boy, a boy who I loved ever since I had ever known how to love a boy. A boy named Akiyama Ryo who had changed my life forever ever since we met. Life seemed to be perfect for me before he walked into my life ten years ago.
I had remembered that I first lay my eyes on him when his family arrived at the "Land of Purity" from the "Land of Friendship" to give their blessing to Princess Zoe, the youngest sister of Princesses Mimi and Miyako, as she was going to turn six years old. Princess Mimi was ten years old while Princess Miyako was eight years old at the time. During that time, my father felt that it was his responsibility to invite them to stay at our Mansion as they were representing the King and Queen of 'Friendship' to come here.
All I could recall from that time was that I saw a mysterious boy, standing alone by the lake in my garden, looking bored and annoying, and with a frown gracing on his handsome face. He seemed to be a few years older than I am and, had dark and brownish short hair, but this was not my consent at that time. At that moment, all I could think of, was 'who is this boy? Why does this boy standing there? Why was him doing here?' Question after question kept popping out in my head. I was standing behind an ancient tree, peeping at the boy and wondered should I or should I not go and bother him? After some time, I finally mastered my courage, though I am known for being the most reserved girl in the "Purity" land, and approached him slowly and cautiously, as he would bite me. But would he, well would it hurt to just try it? I did not think so…
I reached out a timid hand and tapped him on one of his shoulders. I was too afraid to open my mouth at that time, but he did not turn his head to acknowledge my presence, he just stood there, with a faraway look on his face. I tapped his shoulder once again but this time, his shrugged his shoulder as if to tell me to go away and should not bother him again.
Surprisingly, I felt a bit more daring. Maybe it because this boy gave me a sense of curious and I tapped his shoulders one more time. This time he gave me a reaction but that not what I had thought it would be like. He turned toward me furiously, eyes closed and the corners of his mouth twisted annoyingly. He opened his mouth and…
"WOULD YOU STOP BOTHERING ME! YOU ANNOYING LITTLE PEST!" He snapped viciously.
I was very shocked, real shocked that my words hanged at the tip of my tongue. He opened his eyes and looked at me stunned as if he was expected someone else. As stunned as he could look, he started to scowl again and narrowed his eyes at me.
"I… er… I…jjusst…wwaannn…" I stammered, fear rose up into my heart.
He glared at me coldly and with an irritating look, he stomped away. I could still remember hearing him muttered furiously to himself as he walked past me, "all girls are pests, brainless little pests! Can't seem to have a little peace with they following me around."
I was very downhearted after that. But even though I was infamous for my timorous, strangely, I was determined to prove him wrong. I wanted to prove to him that I was unlike all those girls that he had ever met, that I wanted to be his friend and not fan.
I never had any idea why I am so determined to change his mind about me, but I just know that I should and must do this. During the time he resided at my mansion, I learned that his name was Akiyama Ryo. I would always tried my best to chat with him and volunteered to show him around the land of "Purity". All these had failed miserable as he always brushed me off unfriendly but I never gave up.
Years come and go quickly. His family would always come to "Purity Land" once a year for royalty's business and they would always stayed at my mansion for a few weeks. And I would always tried to communicate with him.
When I was eleven years old, I finally realised why I ache for him to regard me as a different girl. I liked him deeply to the point that I cared for him and no matter how he pushed me away. I would always by his side. It is not really love but I craved for his attention, which I had never ever asked for it for someone else, not ever my parent. Only him and shall always be him.
When I was fourteen years old, the liked emerged into love, pure and simple love for a boy, a boy who was a completed opposite of who I am, like fire and water. A boy who would never give me a second look.
But now, I am no longer a little girl who was shy and timid. I am a woman, at the age of seventeen, with a free spirit, who willing to give her life for him, a man who treat everyone cold and unfriendly. I am going to give me one last try. This time, I going to seize the perfect chance to make him recognised me as who I am. The perfect chance whereas he is going to stay here for two years for special training to be a Digimon Tamer.
A woman can wish for it, can't she? Since he was the one.
AN: This chapter, if you haven't figure out, is all about Ruki. Hope you like this chapter. It a bit dramatic but I like this chapter. I used a few months to write out this chapter. This story is used to replace my failed story, "Too late for love". It was, basically, an unorganised and crappy story. I like to think of Ryo making Ruki unhappy. The next chapter would in Ryo's Pov, which would be out at around September or December. Keep check of my livejournal which would be out soon. Please review this story and give me suitable comments. See you soon.
