Angel's Second Chance
Chapter 4 – Trip Down Memory Lane - Part I
DF103: Hey people…wassup…umm…here's another chapter of ASC. The Chapter title tells it all I guess…and now to Paco.
Paco: Okay…DF103 does not own Digimon…except Rikken, my brother. She owns both me and him…and is included in her series about…
DF103: Okay. That's enough words from you. Now here is Chapter 4 – Trip Down Memory Lane - Part 1.

"Wha…if you're my guardian angel, then who is watching over my body?" Ryo asked, afraid of what he might get as an answer.
"The doctors, duh. They are somewhat guardians, you know with saving lives and such. Anyway…to the point. You have to tell me all the good and bad that you have done with or to your loved ones. To your concern, your father and Rika," explained Rikken.
"Okay, well how much do you want to hear? Don't I have a limited amount of time?" asked Ryo.
"You have time, don't worry. You can tell how close to you're getting to being alive again when everything around you starts to shape into objects, and not just fuzzy blurs. You'll be able to open your eyes then. Oh, and don't try to make things up because we'll know," Rikken explained.

"Ryo. It's been a day already and you're still not out of your stupid coma," Rika whispered, grasping his red bandana, "I wish you'd come back. Everyone misses you." Rika sat there, watching intently for any signs of movement on his face, but there was no luck.

Once again, Ryo heard every word that Rika had said to him. Don't worry Rika. I'll be back soon to poke fun at you, Ryo thought, smiling. "Okay where do I start?" asked Ryo.
"Anywhere you'd like," answered Rikken, snapping his fingers. A therapist's couch appeared underneath Ryo, dropping Ryo in to the seat. And then, a clipboard materialized in front of Rikken. "I am all ears." His ears perked up.
"Okay well, my dad and I never really got along, but after the D-Reaper incident, wow, has he changed."
-F-L-A-S-H::B-A-C-K-
It had been a week after the D-Reaper incident and the city was still a wreck. Ryo walked into his house carrying bags full of groceries. He walked into the kitchen and saw his dad cooking.
"Hey dad. Umm…why are you cooking? I thought you had to work tonight," asked Ryo, putting the groceries away, one by one.
"Well, since that red disaster reduced the city to rubble, my boss thought it'd be best to just stay home," explained his dad, tasting the food to see if it was all right.
"Oh, well, I'm going to my room. Call me when dinner's done." Ryo said, walking off.
"Hey, Ryo? After dinner, you want to do something together. It's been a while since we did anything together. So, what do ya say?" Ryo's dad said.
Ryo blinked in amazement. "Sounds great dad." Ryo answered.
-F-B::E-N-D-
"We went bowling and then to the arcade. At first, I thought he was joking, but when we actually went bowling and to the arcade, I knew he was serious. He was never a dad to me until that night. I guess that's a story about my relationship with dad."
"Hmm…interesting." Rikken spoke, thinking. He took a pen and wrote things down. He glanced up at Ryo every once in a while, and then looked backed down at the clipboard. "Okay, keep on going, next deed," Rikken said, as the clipboard faded into air.
"Okay, well, when I first met Rika, at the DigiBattle Card Tournament, I thought she was going to beat me. As far as I heard, she was one of the best at her school. At the tournament, she was so quiet, as we picked numbers to see who would be against whom. Before the competitions started, I went to go say good luck to her. She kept ignoring me when I said 'hi.'" Ryo started.
-F-L-A-S-H::B-A-C-K-
"Hi," Ryo greeted to the 12 year old redhead. Avoiding eye contact, Rika just stood there, thumbing through her deck. "Umm…I'm Ryo." Ryo said, holding his hand out. Rika continued looking through her deck, turning her back to Ryo. "Uhh…I heard you were the best at your school." Ryo said.
"Were? WERE?!? I still am. Why don't you just bug off, okay!?" Rika shouted, then walking away.
What's got her all flustered up? Ryo thought.

"Okay, the two people that have won the semi-finals are Ryo Akiyama and Rika Nonaka! Please step up to play the final round in today's tournament," the announcer yelled. "Now whoever wins this will be named this year's champion."
The two of them sauntered up on stage and sat down in their spots. They glanced at each other. "You again." Rika said, coldly.
"Yup, it's me again." Ryo said, chuckling hesitantly, setting up for the battle. When Rika and Ryo were done setting up, the bell rang and the battle started.
-F-B::E-N-D-
"I ended up winning. She looked so dejected. I wanted to go back in time just so I could lose the battle on purpose. All she did was stomp off the stage, without looking back, nor giving a handshake. Here we are now, a year after that game, and she still won't forgive me, still thinking she's the best. That's probably why I like her so much." Ryo said, blushing at the last part.

DF103: I'm gonna end it there because I'm very tired. The next chapter will be out soon.
Paco – Please review. See ya from me and DF103. DF fell asleep so…SHHHH…
