Chapter 14
Sayonara, Daisuki Na Hito
Three days have passed since the incident that Rika had with the R.A.F. club members. All the members were suspended from school for 2 weeks, and had detention for 2 weeks. Jessica Baden was never heard from again two days after confessing her crime. Julie and Joanna got off with 2 months of detention since they were only being manipulated, influenced, and ordered around by Jessica.
Rika had recovered but still had minor wounds; and resumed going to school after 2 days. But when she arrived at school, she wished that she never came to school at all; because the only thing the students were talking about was Ryo and her being an official couple. The news about them spread like a jolt of electricity; and the old schools of the tamers have probably heard the news too.
"Leave it to Ryo to confess his love for me in front of the whole world" said Rika. But she was glad that they confessed to each other, and she was able to take the pressure off her chest.
The days went by normally. Kazu was being scolded by the teacher for not listening; Takato and Jeri were still in love with each other; Kenta continued assisting Kazu in getting out of trouble; Henry was still his wise, caring, and influential old self; and Ryo still kept bugging and annoying Rika, even though they were already a couple. Rika still acted like her old self, Icy outside but warm inside.
And finally, the day came…
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep…the alarm clock kept going on and on; Rika grabbed her alarm clock and tossed it at the wall, smashing it into a million pieces; Rika woke due to the crashing and smashing noise her alarm clock made.
"Note to self, stop putting these alarm clocks beside my bed" Rika said drowsily as she tried to go back to sleep, but when she looked at the time, it was already 6:00 am.
"Oh I forgot…Ryo's leaving in three hours." Rika got off her bed and took a bath. After taking a bath, she dressed up and wore the pendant that Ryo gave her, and went to the kitchen to prepare herself a quick breakfast. While eating, she looked at the counter and saw her cell phone; and when she looked at it, she found out that she received a message from Ryo. Rika opened the message, and it read: Please meet me at Sakura point at 7:00 am before I leave. Ryo
When Rika looked at the time, it was already 6:45 am. "I guess I'd better be going, I don't want to be late" Rika said to herself as she got out, locked the door to her house, and proceeded as quickly as she can to Sakura Point.
When she arrived there, she saw Ryo standing facing the city and enjoying the view.
"Hey there Ryo…" Rika greeted in a depressed tone. "What are you doing here? Your plane is about to leave…" Rika went beside Ryo, and then he took her hand and held it tight.
"Do you want me to leave already?" Ryo asked in a joking manner.
"You idiot! Why would I want you to leave! Why can't you stay here?" Rika said.
"I am sorry that this had to happen Rika" Ryo answered. "I really wish I could stay here…but I can't. But I want you to remember this; we may be separated from each other, but I'll always remember you, and I'll won't forget you"
"Me too" Rika said as she smiled.
"Come on, let's go…" Ryo said as she held one of Rika's hand and they both ran out of the Sakura Point. He looked at the Sakura Point one last time, and went out of Shinjuku Park to proceed to the train station.
"Just because we like like each other, that doesn't mean I'll act differently towards you, got it?!" Rika said with a smile.
"What ever you say Rika, what ever you say…" Ryo said, giving Rika his famous smile.
------
Once they both got to the train station, they saw all the tamers waiting for them.
"Hey! Ryo! Over here!" Kazu called out aloud, and Ryo and Rika spotted them.
"Hey guys, thanks for seeing me before I go" Ryo said as the other tamers approached him; and each tamer gave Ryo a gift to remember them by. Ai and Mako gave him a toy Digivice which was painted in a rainbow color; Suzie gave him a Lopmon doll, while Henry gave him a book about Digimon and a book about battle card strategies; Ami gave him a jacket; Kazu and Kenta gave him two new decks, and a rare holographic Cyberdramon card; and Takato and Jeri gave him a picture of the whole gang and it had a gold frame.
"Thanks very much guys! I promise I won't forget any of you!" said Ryo, thanking each and every one of his close friends. Just as he was thanking each one, the train whistle blew, and slowly, all of the people started going in the train leading to the airport.
"I have to go guys; my dad and mom are waiting for me at the airport" Ryo said as he started carrying his luggage. When Ryo looked at Rika, she was looking down on the ground, and she looked as if she was about to cry.
"Hey guys, I think we better get going" Henry whispered to everyone, he wanted to give Rika and Ryo the time alone to say goodbye to each other.
"Ryo, we have to go now…We'll really miss you" Takato said as he and Ryo shook hands, and so did the other tamers.
"Don't forget to write or email us. We'll never forget you Ryo" Henry said as he put his hand on Ryo's shoulder. The rest of the tamers wet away from they train as they waved goodbye to Ryo.
"Don't forget to write or send us stuff from Australia!!" Kazu said as he jumped up and down while waving goodbye to Ryo; Ryo waved back as he saw his friends leave. The train station was almost empty as all the people boarded their trains. A slight rain started falling, but the sun kept on shining.
"Rika, I guess this is it…" Ryo said as he held Rika's hands.
"I'll miss you very much Ryo…please don't forget about me…" Rika said trying to prevent herself from crying. Ryo comforted her by holding her in his arms again, probably for the last time, or probably not.
"Rika no matter how apart we are from each other for the longest time…I won't forget you" Ryo said holding Rika tighter. Rika broke up the hug ad reached in her pocket; she pulled out a silver bracelet and gave it to Ryo.
"This is for you Ryo…I couldn't think of anything else to give to you, so I hope you like it" Rika said with a slight smile.
"I'll treasure anything that you will give to me Rika. I don't know when and I don't know where, but I promise you this, I'll come back for you" Ryo said.
"Yup, I know you will, so stop all this mushy stuff already…" Rika said with a smirk
"Bye Rika!" Ryo lifted his luggage and boarded the train. The train door closed, and started leaving, leaving. As the train moved away, Rika ran after it until she can't reach it anymore.
Before the train sped up, Ryo popped his head out of the train window and waved back at Rika, with the arm that wore the silver bracelet Rika gave to him. Rika wiped away her tears and waved back at him until the train was out of sight. "Goodbye Ryo."
The train was finally gone, and the slight rain still kept on pouring. When she went out of the train station, there they were, all the tamers and Ami, standing and waiting for her to come out.
"We're really sorry this had to happen Rika" said Ami.
"But Ryo made a promise to you, and whatever that may be, he'll never break it" Henry added.
"Thanks guys, thanks for all your support…" Rika said with a smile. She looked up and started walking away.
"Where are you going Rika?" Takato asked as Rika stopped walking without even looking back.
"I need to be alone for awhile…don't follow me…" Rika said as she started walking away. Realizing how much pain Rika is in already, they let her go with out asking.
The rain started dying down, but it didn't stop pouring. Rika continued walking, she didn't know where she was headed, but the only person in her mind was Ryo.
"Ryo, when are you coming back?" Rika asked herself as she continued walking; she knows Ryo is not the type of person to break a promise. Suddenly, she picked up her pace, and soon after, she started running. She didn't know why, but her heart kept on telling her to go to the secret place. She started running until she reached Shinjuku Park; she lowered her walking pace and headed to Sakura point. When she arrived, the rain stopped; she didn't know why she was here, and she held on to the pendant Ryo gave her.
Her heart and intuition told her to look up; and when she did, she saw a plane. It looked familiar, just like the plane she saw in her dream; she sensed that Ryo was in that plane. She looked up to the plane as the plane started getting smaller and going farther; Ryo from inside the plane, looked down at Sakura point, because she knew Rika was there watching, and he knew that they were looking at each other at this very moment. They looked at each other from a great distance, and a rainbow appeared in between them. The plane flew away in the horizon and over the rainbow; Rika held her pendant and looked at the rainbow where Ryo flew over.
