Why can't you see that…..?

"Rika! Wake up honey! You're going to miss out on the whole summer vacation!" Rika's mother, Rumiko, yelled to her daughter from the kitchen.

It was the first day of summer vacation and all the tamers had made plans to meet at the park at 3:00, and Rika was the only one that wasn't too thrilled about going and seeing all of them. It wasn't that she didn't want to see her friends she just didn't want to see a certain so called "Legendary Tamer".

Rika just rolled over onto her stomach and pulled the covers back up over her head and tried to get back to sleep, but apparently the world was determined to wake her up because Rumiko walked into her room with the phone saying that Jeri wanted to talk to her. Rika sat up and took the phone from her mother and put it up to her ear. "Hello?" As Rika said that her mom walked out.

"Rika are you coming or what? It's almost 3:30." Jeri stated without even saying hello. Jeri had gotten a lot better since the D-reaper incident and was now almost always happy.

"Sorry I must have slept in. I'll get ready and be there soon." Rika said without much enthusiasm.

"All right we'll wait, and besides Ryo hasn't gotten here yet either so I guess we kinda have to" Jeri replied

"Okay I'll see you guys in a bit" Rika said before hanging up and thanking God that Ryo wasn't there yet. I hope that he's not going to be there at all today

After a few minutes Rika got out of bed and decided to get ready, and as soon as she walked out the door she heard the very last voice she wanted to hear at that moment.

"Hey pumpkin! It's about time you got up we're really late"

Rika looked over at him wondering why in the world he was there at her house….waiting for her. "What do you want Akiyama"

"I came to walk you to the park. A Girl should never go out by herself" Ryo smiled as innocently as possible.

"I'm perfectly capable of walking myself to the park! I don't need you protecting me, Ryo" was the only reply he got from her, before she started to walk away.

Ryo quickly caught up to her and started walking beside her. "Oh come on Rika you can't be cold-hearted all the time. You have a softer side and I know it."

"Uh-huh" Rika said ignoring him.

"And don't think you ignoring me is gonna get me to leave Ruki"

"My name is Rika only my grandma is allowed to call me Ruki so please don't ever say that again" Ruki said flatly trying to ignore him looking at her.

They walked in silence until they got to the park when Ryo grabbed her hand and started to walk quickly to where the others were waiting for them.

"Ryo! What the hell are you doing! Let go of my hand this instant!" Rika yelled at him which got all of the other tamers attention.

Ryo let go of her hand as soon as they were within feet of the others when it didn't really matter any more, and Rika glared at him angrily.

"Rika you know you wanted me to hold your hand" Ryo said sending her his trademark grin.

"Not even in your dreams, Ryo" Rika said angrily.

Jeri looked at both of them and smiled "I think it's so cute when you two fight it's almost like you two are a couple!"

"I would never go out with him!" Rika yelled at her friend "I'd go out with goggle-head over there before I even thought of dating this freak!"

Ryo put on a fake hurt-look "Sometimes you can be so cruel Rika"

"Put a sock in it I wasn't talking to you"

"Yeah I love you too, Wildcat"

"I never said I love you"

"You just did"

"Well I didn't mean it"

"Sure you didn't"

"Shut up"

"No"

"Fine but I came to hang out with my friends so don't think I'm gonna be spending time with you"

"Well I'm spending time with you"

"No….your not"

"Why not"

"Because I said so that's why!"

"Okay are you two done now?" Henry asked

"Yes I'm done talking to him"" Rika replied

"Well I guess I'm done to then" Ryo said smiling at Rika

"Okay good now that their done maybe we can actually have some fun…So what do you all want to do on our first day of summer vacation" Henry smiled

"Well we could go to the fair if you guys want to" Jeri suggested

Takato smiled at Jeri "That's a good idea today's the last day of the fair and we didn't get to go any other day 'cause of school. So we can go today"

Rika sighed thinking of who she was gonna end up having to spend time with since Takato and Jeri were obviously spending the whole time together and Henry and Alice were gonna Hang out the whole time so that just left her an Ryo.

"What are you waiting for, Wildcat, we're gonna lose the others if you don't start following them instead of sitting there daydreaming"

Without even waiting for him to finish his sentence Rika started to follow the others to where the fair was being held.

Ryo once again caught up to her and was walking beside her. "So since all of the others future couples are hanging out I guess we're gonna have to spend the whole time together!" Ryo said cheerily.

"Great" was Rika's only reply

"Well don't sound so happy about it"

"Okay….I won't"

Ryo looked over at her out of the corner of his eye and kinda smiled. She was so pretty. She was the only girl that seemed like he didn't matter. Maybe that was why he liked her so much or maybe it was because he knew that she really did like him but she was too scared to admit it.

I should tell her how I feel. She might feel the same way about me and I'll never know if I don't try.

Rika noticed him smiling at her "What are you smiling about? Or don't I want to know?"

"I'm not sure…do you want to know?"

What is he thinking about…?

"Rika I want to tell you something"

"I'm not sure I really want to know what it is"

"You might want to know…"

"Well what is it?"

Just as Ryo was about to tell her Jeri ran up to them asking what was talking them so long to catch up.

Rika replied "Sorry he was talking to me about something"

"About what?" Jeri asked.

"I don't know he didn't tell me" Rika said as she looked over at him "well? What were you going to say, Ryo?"

"Huh? Oh um…nothing important it can wait" Ryo smiled
