Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow
Chapter 3
Rika woke up the next morning with a killer headache and she didn't know why. She rubbed her forehead in frustration and set off to her bathroom for her usual morning routine. Get up, get dressed and get out. But she couldn't shake off the feeling something will happen today. Oh well probably nothing…
She grabbed her backpack, said goodbye to her Grandma and Mom and left the house.
When she went to school she always passed the former Matsuki Bakery, which was now an American café. She didn't know why but when she looked at the Bakery she half-expected for Goggle-Head to come out with a goofy grin on his face.
Rika daydreamed again and shook her head, she took a final glance across the Bake-I mean café and walked slowly to the hell-hole we young people of this generation call school… While thinking about Takato of course, she had been thinking about him too much for the past couple of days and she didn't like it, most of the time.
The Tamers greeted Rika when she stepped in the classroom and then went back to their mindless chatter about… well whatever they usually talk about.
Rika plopped in her seat and laid her head down on the desk, the coolness the desk cooled down her burning forehead very nicely, that is until the teacher came in.
"All right, kids settle down, I've got an important announcement to make." Said Mr Kayo, "We've got a new student joining us from today." (A/N: One Million ur… Digidollars to the person who guesses who it is first!)
Rika looked up from her desk to take a quick glance at this person then go to sleep for a little while, but little did she know those few moments will change her completely.
"Come inside Mr…" The teacher took a quick glance at the file in his hand. "Takato Matsuki." He finished.
All the Tamers including Rika shot their heads up at the sound of his name. No… Takato… He's back!
The former leader of the Tamers walked through the classroom slowly and to Rika it was killing her to see him again, she examined every little detail of him.
Takato now had cut his hair a little shorter with red streaks in it and spiked up his fringe. His crimson orbs showed wisdom and an undeniable force of strength. He was very muscular it showed on his clothes, a red tank top, black jeans with a red dragon near the bottom, he was also wearing a black jean jacket. Rika couldn't help but think, Damn! As in good looking damn and she was pretty sure all the girls thought the same thing, making all the guys jealous of Takato.
"Takato would you like to say anything to the class about yourself." Takato looked at Mr Kayo and shook his head which made the girls swoon stupidly, except Rika and Jeri. "No need Sir, I don't want to waste anymore time that I need too." Mr Kayo was surprised at Takato's reply, he sounded like a very smart boy.
"Ok, you may sit…" Mr Kayo scanned the room for empty seats, "Ah, you may sit in front of Miss Nonaka, Rika raise your hand please."
Rika embarrassedly raised her hand. Takato walked over to the empty seat and made eye-contact with Rika.
Violet clashed with Red. All the emotions that Takato felt the past years were seen in his eyes Rika could see it clearly. He's been through too much…
Takato broke the eye-contact immediately and sat down. Rika didn't realise that there was another dragon on the back of the jacket as well. She sighed deeply but not loud enough for Takato to hear at least she hoped he didn't hear. What happened to you Takato… What happened to us…Did we really hurt you that bad…
She looked to her right to see Henry making eye-contact with her, she knew what he was gonna tell her but she shook her head and mouthed "Not now."
The lessons carried on until recess Takato quickly packed his stuff away silently and rushed out the classroom and all the girls ran out to find the "Hot new guy". While the Tamers gathered around.
"Dude, did ya see Takato he's grown!" said Kenta. Kazu huffed, "Well, Chumly's still the same. He's not that big…" Everyone including Rika glared at him to say "are you kidding me". Henry snapped out of it quickly, "We've gotta talk to him." Rika and Jeri stared at him as well.
"Easier said than done Brainiac…" Rika muttered under her breath, Jeri heard her and gave her a questioning glance. Rika walked to the window and looked down and saw Takato sitting on a branch on the Cherry Blossom tree. He looked so peaceful.
"We need to know why he went away in the first place…" Jeri's voice broke Rika's trail of thought. She looked back at the Tamers; Jeri was staring at her as if she knew the answer and unfortunately for Rika she did.
"I know why," The Tamers looked at Rika, "He left because of me."
A/N: I sure some of you were expecting that, it's kinda obvious. Anyway I'm not gonna update in a while because I'm going on holiday for two months so I won't be back until late August so read and review.
(I know this is kinda selfish but I want at least 50 reviews! Nah, settle at 49 the least! LOLZ)
Anyway next chapter it will be mostly be Takato's point of view, and we'll see his first proper interaction with the Tamers.
SEE YA!
