Jenrya's eyes scanned over the paper once more. He sighed and crumbled the already wrinkled piece and dropped it carelessly into his bag. He threw in his binder and necessary books, burring the poem alive. Jenrya knew that in a matter of a few days it would all become a burden of a memory in the back of his mind.
Ruki watched him from her locker. She could sense that he was stressed at the moment, and it must have had something to do with the reason why he was late getting out of class.
She lifted her bag over her shoulders and casually leaned back on her locker. If she had waited for him this long what was a few more minutes?
Ruki looked through the abandoned hallway. The other kids had rushed out as soon as the final bell had rung, and yet she had continued to stay. And for what? Just to walk a few measly blocks with Jenrya?
…….Yes…….
Jenrya grabbed one of the straps of his bag and began to drag it against the aqua colored carpet. His eyes were downcast and his expressions were unreadable. Of course he should be used to it by now…….but he wasn't.
"You walking home?" The sharp voice snapped him back. He looked up from the floor and into the velvet eyes of Ruki Makino. He nodded a bit weakly. "C- can I walk with you?" Ruki mentally cursed herself for stammering. It showed signs of weakness, and she was not weak.
Jenrya smiled at her. "Of course."
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#
Ruki breathed in the crisp spring air. There had been silence since they had exited the school yard, and so far she had attempted to start a few conversations, but she had no idea what she would say. And other than that Jenrya seemed to be in his own world…….again. (A/N: Yes, I know that Ruki is sort of really out of character, but she's only that way around Jenrya, when she's around the others I'll try to make her as much normal as possible. And yeah, Jen's a bit OC too, but that's because I think it fits. ::shrugs:: )
"Is something wrong?" The words rolled off her tongue with no warning. She had to admit though, she was worried about him, this wasn't the Jenrya that she had first met.
"No, nothing at all. Why do you ask Ruki?"
Ruki sighed inwardly. " You were never good at lying……." She stated a matter-of-factly.
"You never caught me before." He joked.
"Seriously Jen, what's the matter?"
Jenrya's face went slightly red at the nickname she used but he continued. "There's nothing wrong……. In a sort of way."
Ruki titled her head in confusion. "What does that mean?"
Jenrya shook his head. "I'll tell you later."
Ruki starred down at the ground. He was starting to become distant from her, and she didn't like that. She adjusted her bag to keep it from falling off her shoulders. She had been worrying about Jenrya too much that she had forgotten about the weight on her back.
It wasn't like her to worry though. But it wasn't like her to smile, or laugh, or open up either. She didn't like admitting it, but Jenrya changed her a bit, though she'd never show this 'new' side of her to the others. To them she was still the Digimon Queen, and the cold hearted tomboy. To Jenrya, she was Ruki Makino, and nothing less.
There was silence as the two continued walking. Every so often Ruki would look up at Jenrya. Why was he being so strange? Was something wrong? Was he sick? Ruki looked carefully at him. He didn't seem pale really, she immediately dismissed that thought.
But then what could be bothering?
'Maybe he hasn't been sleeping well.' Ruki decided. It was the best reason she could come up with.
Jenrya stopped suddenly, causing Ruki to look back at him questioningly. He smiled innocently at her. "This is my stop."
Ruki blinked once or twice. Had they really made it to his house already? She looked up towards the building, and her question was answered. She looked away disappointed. She enjoyed being with Jenrya, and walking home was the only time she was able to, outside of school that is.
"Then I guess I'll see you around." Ruki murmured and turned to continue on her way home.
"er- Ruki, wanna come inside?" He asked quietly, a light blush graced his face.
Ruki stopped mid step. Her face became a deep red. "er- sure……." She took a deep breath, trying to regain her usual color.
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#
Ruki dumped the contents of her bag on to the ground. She eyed all the material she had for homework and groaned. There was no way she'd be able to finish this! She'd be cooped up all weekend!
Jenrya chuckled at the scattered pieces, receiving a deadly glare from Ruki.
"It's not funny." She pouted sitting down on the rug.
"Yeah it is." Jenrya said out loud.
"Better watch your step Jen." She warned, though her voice didn't seem as poisonous as before.
Jenrya pulled out his binder and a few torn notebooks. Ruki smirked at him. "Having a hard time keeping Suzie out of your room?"
"You've noticed too?"
Ruki picked up a black notebook that had the spirals torn out and bent. The cover was almost completely gone, with the exception of a few strips still hanging on for their lives.
She raised an eyebrow. "Kind of hard not to."
Jenrya shrugged. "But she id get a certain rabbit like digimon away for a while."
"True." Ruki grumbled. She had always hated Jen's digimon.
Jenrya nodded and gently took the notebook back out of Ruki's hands. He laid it down on the bed and went back into his bag to retrieve a pencil, accidently throwing random things from his bag in the process.
A crumbled piece of loose-leaf paper landed at Ruki's leg. She couldn't deny her curiosity for more than a minute or two. She scooped the paper up in her arms and studied it for a second. Then she peeled down the walls that held the writing behind it.
Ruki looked over at Jenrya for a second, and then back down at the paper. She soothed it down in order to read it better, and then brought it up to her eyes.
It was in poem format, from what she could see. Her eyes followed over every line quickly, searching for familiar words.
She blinked in order to adjust her eyes more. It was still hard to make out a few words but she made do with what she could.
As the poem ended Ruki found herself a bit short of breath. "Jen……." She whispered and looked up at him.
Jenrya head perked up at the sound of her voice. He smiled at her for a second until he glimpsed at the poem in her hand. His features faltered. "I- " He was prepared for her to assume.
"Is this why you've been acting strange?" Ruki asked, concern evident in her eyes and voice.
Jenrya nodded hesitantly. There was an overbearing silence until Ruki broke it.
"Why?"
Jenrya looked at her in puzzlement. Didn't she find it the least bit 'unsettling' or trouble, as many people had put his works before.
"I think this is a great poem Jen," Ruki continued, "I don't see any reason why it should upset you." She was silent for a moment. "Unless you actually want……." She shook her head quickly to dismiss the thought. This was Jenrya they were talking about.
Jenrya sighed and looked down at his books in order to prevent eye contact. "No," he answered simply, already wanting to end the conversation there.
"Then-"
"That's the poem I wrote for English class. Ms. Tesam (A/N: my S.S. sub. That I read my poem to [It's not the same that Jen wrote] spelt backwards ^^.) read it before I could leave. She made me stay back for a few minutes just so she could tell me it 'put her on edge.' She wants me to see the guidance teacher tomorrow." Jenrya tapped his binder with his pencil a few times to distract himself.
Ruki starred at him, now understanding things a bit better. "If it's any constellation, Jen, I think it's a great poem. And I don't find anything wrong with it." She offered him a sincere smile.
Jenrya couldn't help but also give in to the tug on his lips. At least there was someone he didn't have to worry about. "Thanks……."

Demon: So how was that? Sry if it's not very good, I tried to make this as quick as I could!
