Author's Notes: I'm back with the second chapter of Predicted Love. I'm sorry it took me so long to update the second chapter. Yeah I know… But boy if you were in my position you wouldn't stand the situation wherein everytime you lower your head there are things that will fall. Yep, I have eyeglasses and it really make my eyes sore a bit. It's hot here in our country, and the sun is directly hitting your skin, including my eyes of course. Luckily, my mother agreed with contacts… Hehehe! I'm wearing mine now. Another thing about my procrastination are those damn wicked assignments given by our teachers. I swear! I wouldn't live my 2 months left school days with those modules (homeworks)!!!
Anyway after my alibi, I thank you to all those who reviewed the first chap. However, there are things that I would like to clarify:
~I know that Jenrya is a bit(?) OOC here, but I couldn't stand the fact that our Jenrya has always has to be the calm and optimistic one.
~About Ruki's character? It's not a big deal though. I might say it really did a great part on the fic.
~I know, I have a very big problem when it turns to grammar especially with the use of prepositions. It's my weakest, honestly. So, I think I would really appreciate if someone can give me the uses of prepositions. I know I'm asking for too much but I just can't find my Grammar book. *sighs*
Anyway, here's the second chapter of Predicted Love: Jenrya the Watchdog.
Disclaimer: Same disclaimer applies. I will never own Digimon…

Chapter Two: Jenrya the Watchdog
Ruki ignored those weird stares she's getting from her surroundings. The teachers, students and even the janitors of Shinjuku University widened their eyes in front of her. She had just screamed at the hallway, after the newly enrolled student, Lee Jenrya said sorry to her for the 5th time. She marched all the way to the second floor with an annoyed look on her face. That Lee Jenrya crossed the line of her patience and never will she forget that.
"Aren't you at least happy that we're classmates?" Jenrya followed Ruki everywhere and anywhere inside the school campus. Maybe the girls' restroom wouldn't be an exemption.
"Happy? How the hell can I be happy when I have some stalker following me around!!!" Ruki argued finally facing him. She didn't dare glance at Jenrya for three hours now.
"Ruki I was just following you around, since I can't think of any reason why you have to avoid me," Jenrya said crossing his arms near his chest after noticing that Ruki has stopped herself from stomping.
"It's Makino to you!!!!! Listen here Lee Jenrya!!! I don't have anything against you!" snarled Ruki.
"Neither do I have anything against you," Jenrya added.
"Uhhh!!! You're going to give me a congenital heart disease with your words!!!"
"Don't worry, if ever that thing happens… I know I'm responsible for you, because I know that a girl like you is helplessly in love with my charm," Jenrya said playfully between his laughter.
"You still have the nerves to show the hilarity in you?! Even if you were the last person on earth I wouldn't even touch your hand!!! And helplessly in love with your charm?! Who the hell told you that you have charm?!" Ruki yelled. Jenrya laughed after that, and didn't reply.
"What then? Cat got your tongue? Have you let those shit flew out of your foolhardy brain, Lee Jenrya?!?!!!" Ruki asked angrily.
"I wouldn't be surprise if you're on the dangerous state of a heart disease!" Jenrya chuckled. "I told you so… The charm dear…"
"Bah! Excuse me sir, but you're not even in virtual reality!! I'd rather die than to accept the fact that you are indeed, appealing, eye-catching! You have the wit! The guts to make me melt!! Happy?!" That was it! The very last leaf of her dear life! She accidentally let those stupid words got out from her stupid mouth and now that the stupid Lee Jenrya heard it, his big, stupid mouth will freak her with those stupid insults coming from his stupid brain. Yeah! Thanks to all of her virtual reality speech she's now standing in the middle of her grave.
The expected laugh from Lee Jenrya has now emerged from his mouth. Ruki was nearly on her deathbed when she heard that idiotic sound. He was having the time of his life while she's having the time of her last day here on earth.
"Very amusing!!!" Jenrya clapped. "The fact that I am what? Indeed appealing, eye-catching and I have the guts to make you melt brought a catastrophe in my brain! Very astounding! Remarkable! I haven't imagined you being on the seventh heaven of your life!!!"
"Someone spare me the tranquility of heaven! Don't worry Mr. Pain in the Back! I'm going to make sure I'll die today! At least you could tell to yourself that you were dreaming by the time you've heard those words from me!" Ruki said sarcastically.
"Really? Ok then. If you want I will guarantee your death if you'll allow me to escort you to Mt. Everest and look at you with my most captivating, longing, crying gray eyes, as you jump out of its cliff and say: Goodbye Jenrya! I'll always love you!" he carried the whole speech with complete feeling, he declaimed for short. "But before you could even jump, you'll run into my arms and tell me how I have been so cruel to you and you'll spank my face. After that you'll touch my hands and bring them close to your heart and you'll simply repeat your proclamation of love for me. It's sweet isn't it? At least, you have a good memory before dying."
The veins, those veins from Ruki Makino's head started popping out. Heat came out from her ears and she shouted, "The day when someone see as together! The day when I will think of touching you! The day when I will let you escort me! The day when you will have the chance to hug me! And above all of those is the day when I will say I love you! Those will be the days wherein heaven and hell had already interchanged!!! And surprisingly the day when I will spank you, will be TODAY!!!"
"Ooohhh, I'm afraid! Makino, if I were you I will step backwards before anything can happen," Jenrya warned taking a step forward. Then there it goes the new version of a promenade dance, when Jenrya step forward Ruki will eventually step backward. Forward, backward, forward, backward, forward, backward. The forward-backwards steps were now on its best part. Ruki Makino slapped Lee Jenrya with a great impact. He didn't stumble nor made himself unsteady but instead he was as stable like a table with a sitting disabled, immovable, overweight man.
"You NITWIT!!! You really have the intention of harassing me don't you?!" Ruki pointed her forefinger directly on Jenrya, when she was already an inch near him.
"Harassing you? I don't know what you're saying! If you will be the girl whom I will harass I'd rather smudge my face with the rice field's mud!" Jenrya defended himself, moving away from her. Eventhough his heart feels almost empty when he's not near Ruki, he has to get his face away from her or else he might have had lose self-control and just kiss her! Got that? And that is the last thing he will do for his entire life. Their love/hate relationship is still on its welcoming part, and he will not do anything to ruin it.
'Love and hate relationship? Where on earth did I get that? Never mind,' Jenrya thought confusedly.
"Then smudge yourself! Why will I care anyways?!" Ruki said. "Just go ahead, I woudn't even stop you!"
"Whatever!" Jenrya responded.
Suddenly the voice of the school's intercom rang in the whole school. "ATTENTION! Lee Jenrya and Ruki Makino, please proceed to the principal's office. I repeat, the new students: Lee Jenrya and Ruki Makino please proceed to the principal's office. Thank you."
"What now?!" Ruki snapped at him while she saw him walked away.
Jenrya turned his head and grimaced, "What now? I'm the one who has the right to ask you what now?"
"Hey wait a minute Mr. Pain in the Back!" Ruki ran after him. "If it wasn't for you! I'm still living in peace these days!"
"You don't have to blame me all the way through here after what had happened hours and hours ago! Plus! As far as I know, blaming is chapter one of our love story! And to inform you we are on the second chapter, so don't go rub it on my face that you have to blame me over and over again!" Jenrya reminded her.
"Who told you that we have a love story, your formidable instincts?!" she said.
"And who told you that I have formidable instincts? Your rotten brain?!" he said.
Ruki and Jenrya have reached the principal's office and Jenrya knocked at the door lightly.
"If something happens that will destroy my dignity, I'm going to smack your face with a six by six wood and a heavy metal!" Ruki whispered.
"Come in," the principal's voice came. Jenrya opened the door and entered first, Ruki followed behind. They saw the principal looking down at the school grounds from his office' window. The old man turned his head and stared at them expectantly. Both of them gulped at the same time.
"I'm surprise you haven't killed each other yet. And I'm even more surprise because your class adviser didn't drag you all the way here," the principal frowned at them. "Both of you know that you're new here, right?"
Jenrya and Ruki can only nod after that. They have their precious feet cemented on the ground. Mr. Watanabe, the principal continued, "I have been informed that you two have been disturbing the students with your argument!!! Second, Mr. Narashi the calculus teacher on the second floor told me that you were acting like those one-year-old children!!! Third, Mr. Lee I'm very disappointed to tell you but I have already called your parents about this. They were really shocked, after I had said about your manners here in the university."
Jenrya groaned. Yes! It will be another warfare when he reaches their mansion's doorstep. His parents are waiting for him to go home and they're basically ready to reprimand him in every way. It always happens and he's used to it.
"And as for you, Ms. Makino. I'm thinking of something that will teach you a lesson. I can't contact your mother or your grandmother so there will be no one to rectify you."
Ruki shrugged. Lucky for her it will only be a punishment. She'd rather clean the whole school than to hear the humiliation from her mother's mouth.
"And of course… Mr. Lee, your participation with this punishment should be present, am I right?" Mr. Watanabe said.
Ruki and Jenrya's eyes widened in fear. What! They're going to make a punishment together?!!! Their jaws dropped and remained open.
"Quite surprise, are you?" asked Mr. Watanabe.
"Duh! More than surprise sir!" Jenrya was the first one to speak, but the flabbergasted expression wasn't erased from his face.
"Have I make myself clear to you?" asked Mr. Watanabe, again.
"Yes!" they both said in unison.
"Do you have any idea what your punishment will be?"
"No sir," Ruki replied.
"It's very simple. The simplest that I have given for 45 years of teaching," he uttered. The two gulped for the second time. The look in their principal's face wasn't a joke nor a play but a fact that they have to solve in reality.
"You two will be partners in every project. Even in the outdoor school activities such as camping, training, press conference and everything. Plus! You two will be partners on the upcoming school dance, a month and a half from now… It isn't hard is it?" Mr. Watanabe questioned.
"Yeah. It isn't hard, not really," Ruki told Mr. Watanabe.
"Yeah, I agree too. But just-" Jenrya stopped when he heard Ruki speak.
(A/N: Those speech with * it means Ruki is the one speaking, and if you see those ^ it means Jenrya is the one talking. It's just like "chained conversation.")
* "Awfully."
^ "Terribly."
* "Extraordinarily."
^ "Incredibly"
* "Extremely."
^ "Dreadfully."
When it was the time to end the conversation, they exchanged weird glances and said together, "It's awfully, terribly, extraordinarily, incredibly, extremely, dreadfully the-worst-punishment-we-received-in-our-entire-life…"
"How on earth am I gonna live my school days with her?!" Jenrya scowled.
"And how on earth am I gonna survive with him by my side?!" Ruki protested.
"Simple, you've got to learn to love each other," Mr. Watanabe reasoned out.
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was lunchtime, and Ruki decided to play hide and seek with the Mr. Pain in the Back. She knew he was rich and it's against his family's rules to eat at the school's cafeteria. No one would even like the food they serve! It's outrageous since the school still has the guts to keep this cafeteria running. If they only knew…
Ruki sat with her back against the chair. She rested there while reading a textbook. At last peace! Without that Mr. Pain in the Back, it was possible to live her life to the fullest. All of a sudden, Ruki felt something warm near her, and her heart stopped beating. She turned her head wearily to her right and noticed a monkey grinning, smirking and winking at the same time.
"Hello Ms. Heartache!" Jenrya greeted.
"You Mr. Pain in the Back!!! You won't leave me will you?" Ruki fidgeted in her seat.
"Nope!" Jenrya said victoriously getting the textbook away from her hands.
"What do you want from me now?! Wanna fight you moronic freak!!!" Ruki pushed Jenrya away from her and formed her hands into fists. "And hey! Give me back my book!"
Jenrya put (A/n: As far as my brain can tell, the present, past and past participle of put is "put." I'm listening in English k?) the book inside his bag and grinned, "Do you have the right to command me?"
"Of course! I have every right to command you since you're my watchdog!!!" Ruki stated moving her forefinger sideward.
"I didn't know you've got an ideal sense of intimidating kind of humor," said Jenrya.
"You're really an egotistic person aren't you?" Ruki uttered her amethyst eyes flaring.
"Why did you say that thing so?!"
"Because you still have the guts to say something even if you know that it's wrong!!! Like for example… Intimidating kind of humor? How on earth can a humor be scary if it makes people laugh!?"
"Yeah! Do you have any idea why said that so? Because watchdog is not funny for me!" Jenrya sneered.
"…"
"Can't say anything… You don't know your purpose in life, ne?" Jenrya asked smugly.
"…"
"Will you just open your big mouth and speak?!" Jenrya complained.
"…"
"Ok fine I give up!!!!" Jenrya shouted and walked out of the cafeteria, and threw Ruki's book back on the table. Unbeknownst to Ruki, he had placed something inside her book: A small, white piece of paper.
"Hehehe! It's long before I am able to take my senses back here on earth… I was quite surprised when he asked me about my purpose in life. I don't even have one, and I'm not planning to make one either…" Ruki giggled softly.
"Hey it wasn't my fault that I can't think of anything to say!" she reminded herself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
A student with brown hair and brown orbs patted Ruki on the back her name is Emiko Hanashira. She's Ruki's roommate in the dorm back in high school.
"Hiya. It's been a long time since I saw you…Jokes!" Emiko said, her eyes gleaming with happiness.
"Don't fool me around. I've just met you yesterday!" Ruki cocked an eyebrow then smiled.
They walk together out of the cafeteria and headed towards the gym. Emiko combed her hair and pull it into pigtails using those orange rubber bands.
"Ruki, do you have your calculus textbook?" Emiko asked, placing her lavender-colored comb back into her schoolbag.
"Yeah. Here it is," Ruki replied while handing her the textbook.
"Did Mr. Narashi give you an assignment? One of my classmates came in front and smacked his with the blackboard's eraser… It was crazy. I never knew what happened next til I found out that my classmate muttered incoherent words about his teaching," Emiko sighed in relief. She started scanning the textbook and noticed a small white scented paper fell out from one of its pages. She looked at it with a puzzled expression and picked it up with her slender hands.
"Nope. Serves that teacher right. Can you believe it?! I was put through a silly punishment because of-" Ruki paused for a moment and saw a small paper in Emiko's hand. Since she wasn't paying attention to her and she's definitely laughing like a crazy geek, she hurriedly snatched the paper away from her hands. "What on earth is that?!"
"Just see it for yourself!" Emiko laughed while holding her stomach as though as if it would break in any minute.
"What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ruki My Love,
I know I have hurt you but that was beyond my love for you. Please don't leave me like this, with my mouth yearning for your cherry red lips. It was so hard for me to forget you so please come back to my arms… Thank you, I know it's someday me and you. Thank you, for the hope I keep for you (A/n: That was an excerpt from the song composed by my friend, Carla…).
I'll always be here for you, to love and insult you… 'Til your ignorance pulls us part. 'Til your stupidity wrecks up my heart. 'Til your idiocy shatters my beloved brain. And most especially, until your imbecility stops the continuous rain. I…Love…You. Hehehehe!!!!
Your loved ones,
Jenrya
Ruki clutched the paper into her hands and tore it into tiny pieces of paper. She saw Lee Jenrya near the school's fountain doing something in his dark blue laptop. He dug for something in his pocket and found his cellphone. He smiled a bit and spoke on the receiver.
"Right! Ok now, Lee Jenrya watch your back. One move from me and I'll promise you that you have yourself pack. You can go back from that 'your highness' place. And you'll be in my grave, always," Ruki muttered to herself.
***********
"Yeah dad. I know. Let's talk about it later, ok?" Jenrya said.
"Are you sure about this boy?" Janyuu asked, surprise with his son's decision.
"Yup! Let's just call this the sweetest of all sweetest…" Jenrya smirked, imagining something in his mind. (A/n: Sorry I won't tell you about the something.)
"Just make sure you won't put yourself in to trouble again," Janyuu confirmed.
"Yes! Bye!" Jenrya placed his phone back to his pocket again. "Your back Ruki Makino, just watch it…"
Author's Notes: A cliffy! (Not really…) Hehehe… I'm stuck in between fanficcing and writing in my school paper. Yep! I'm a writer at the literary section of our school paper. Hard to believe ne? Lolz! I didn't know that it was hard until I'm finally experiencing it. Blame it all on the editor, as some of my classmates would say. (Teehee! Sorry James mah' bro' you are really giving your writers/contributors a hard time… Jkz!)
Anywayz, review! Always review or else I'll make this a RYUKI fic… Am I that evil? O_o;;;
Sorry Ryuki fans, this is JENRUKI/HENRIKA… I'm sorry if the 2nd chapter wasn't narrated well and if the Jenruki shipping is not present… I'm really sorry. I'm having a hard time with school. There are 2 questions that I would like to ask you guys:
1. Do you want Ryo to be one of the characters?
2. Do you want him to be introduced as the good or the bad guy???
3. Just forget about that nowhere (an apology to Ryuki fans) and don't include him in the fic?
Before I say goodbye, I just want to answer Koori no Tenshi's statement… Do more on JENRUKI? Yeah, I will that is if you keep on reviewing… m really evil! Lolz!
Wait for the third chap, which will be entitled as Sweet Revenge.
Yourz,
Chibijen-mynah
