Well... It has been a while. A few months, in fact. I had writer's block all this time, but now i'm back! I decided to continue this because i thought chapter 4 was quite all right! Thanks to everyone who was anticipating the next few chapters! You guys are the reason why i write! hehe... so, on with Chapter 5. Don't own digimon. Some guys in suits do.

The Takari Drabbles: Ramen

(A Cold, Rainy Night: As Hikari spends another night in her Takeru's arms in the small twin bed, after studying for "anatomy" in his brother's apartment, knowing that he was on tour for a few weeks and he bestowed upon Takeru the duty of house sitting, she begins to cough an unbearable cough, leading up to the sudden urge for ramen. And so, without any hesitation, she begins to moan and whine and pout, hoping that Takeru is awake to answer her plea.)

"Uggh…"

"What is it, honeybear?"

"I'm sorry, T.K. I thought you were sleeping…"

"I was…"

"Well… Since you're awake… I want a nice big bowl of ramen!"

"Umm… No."

"Why not?"

"Because…"

"Is that how you treat all your girlfriends?"

"At 3 in the morning… yes."

"Uggh. You're impossible!"

"I love you too, honeybear."

"You know, I'll remember this quite well next time we're alone like this… Maybe I won't nibble on your ears, or do that thing you like…"

(And so, Takeru springs up, as if his life depended on it.)

"I'll go boil some water!"

(Before he could sprint to the kitchen, Hikari sits up and stops Takeru in his tracks.)

"Honeybear… I don't like the way you cook ramen. You put so much stuff in it, it's not even ramen anymore by the time it reaches me."

"At least you're honest… So, I'll help you make it."

"Me? Cook? At this hour?"

"You wanted me to cook… what's the difference?"

"I want ramen. And Taichi told me that there is this great place on the other side of town. Best ramen in the country!"

"It's 3 in the morning…"

"It's 24-hours…"

"It's raining…"

"Fine… I'll just starve… Sigh…"

"Fine with me."

"Okay. But this lack of ramen is making me forget how to do that thing you like…"

"I'm off!"

"Remember, I like it extra big and spicy!"

"Of course…"

(After struggling to put some pants on, and after a frantic search for the car keys, Takeru went off to find the elusive ramen restaurant. While in the car, he tries to keep his sanity in tact.)

"I'm doing this for Hikari… Ooh, you owe me one, Hikari…"

"Owe you one what?"

"Honeybear?"

(Unknown to Takeru, Hikari was on speakerphone the whole time.)

"Thanks Takeru… I really appreciate this… I can't wait 'til you get here so I can 'beep'…"

(With a big smile on his face and giggles that he can't hold back, mainly due to excitement, Takeru disobeys every traffic law to reach the king of all noodle places. He runs inside to find one lone attendant who really seems to dislike his job.)

"Taichi-san?"

"Yah, it's me. I needed to get a night-job. The stuff I buy for Sora doesn't grow on trees."

(Takeru proceeded to make a noise the slightly resembled the cracking of a whip, most likely to imply that Taichi was subordinate to the dominant Sora.)

"Well, it ain't that bad… It's worth it… I love it when Sora 'beep'…"

(After a few moments of filth, at least to Takeru's ears, Taichi realizes that he has drifted off into some disgusting tangent.)

"So, why are you here?"

"Because… Hikari wanted some ramen. Extra big and spicy."

(Taichi began to laugh hysterically, gesturing a gesture implying that it is Takeru that is the one who is 'whipped.')

"Hey! I am not whipped… Well, it ain't that bad… In fact, it's worth it… I love it when Hikari 'beep'…"

(Taichi became red with anger. After an awkward silence, Taichi spoke into the loudspeaker.)

"Two extra big and spicy bowls of ramen for the child molester-slash-pervert."

"Very funny, Taichi-san. I'm gonna go now, so Hikari can 'beep'…"

"Uggh…"

(Takeru, chuckling a bit, seemingly amused, rushed back home. Suddenly, he ran over a speed bump at full speed, causing one bowl of the extra big, extra spicy ramen to fly out of the bag, and topple onto his head. But he didn't care. He just couldn't wait to get back to his place and see the smile on Hikari's face when he presents a big bowl of ramen. Besides, she'll probably get a kick out of the ramen hat that has been affixed on his head. Once he got into his bedroom, he found an alert Hikari watching TV.)

"Takeru… What happened to you?"

"Never you mind… Just eat up, honeybear!"

"You're so sweet!"

(After Takeru laid out the spread of ramen and chopsticks and all, Hikari took one sip and gestured that she was full.)

"That's it?"

"Yup. That was good."

"But… But… I went through so much trouble! The rain! Taichi-san! The burning of the noodles against my eyes! So much trouble!"

(Takeru began to cry, hysterically. Hikari then grabbed Takeru to calm him down.)

"I love you, Takeru…"

(Takeru said that he loved her to, but this was muffled against Hikari's shirt.)

"Hey, I know what would cheer you up!"

"You do?"

"Yah… I know what my Takeru needs…"

"Really? A little 'beep'…"

"Umm… No. Definitely not. I think my Takeru needs a nice big bowl of ramen. I'll go make you some!"

See you soon! Perhaps in the near future! So, let me have it! Tell me what you think?
