Prelude To Chaos
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon so please don't sue. If you do, I have like 50 cents to my name so it wouldn't be worth it. The only thing I own is the story itself, the time I put into it, and my few new characters in later chapters.
Ch 2 - Words Yet Unspoken
Takato is running home after talking with Rika's grandmother. He was kind of worried that Rika was not there but he was sure that she was OK. Rika's grandmother had told him about the party tonight and that Rika was not going. She had also told him about all of the other Christmases that Rika spent alone over the years. He had asked about why Rika didn't spend it with her father. Rika's grandmother had told him that they have not heard from Rika's father since the divorce. Takato had an idea of what he could do for Rika but it would take a little help. As soon as he got home he called Henry.
"Hello," a voice said from Takato phone.
"May I speak to Henry," asked Takato.
"Speaking," replied Henry.
"Henry its me Takato and I need your help," Takato said quickly.
"OK Takato, what do you need," asked Henry.
"How hard is it find a person," asked Takato.
"Do you know this person's name," asked Henry. He knew about Rika and her dad so he had an idea where this was going.
"Yes, I have his name Henry," Takato said kind of ticked.
"Your looking for Rika's dad aren't you," asked Henry.
"Yes, I am but how did you know," asked Takato.
"If your calling me its something big and your looking for a person a few days till Christmas, who else would you be looking for, plus it would be a perfect way to cheer Rika up," Henry finished saying.
"Yes, I know but I have no idea where to look," Takato says and continues,"can you help."
"Yes, I will help, what is his name Takato," asked Henry.
"His name is Charles Makino," said Takato.
"I'll call back in about half an hour so don't go anywhere," said Henry.
"Thanks Henry I ow you one," said Takato as he hangs up. Exactly half an hour later Henry called back.
"Hello Takato," Henry said with a small hint of sadness. It went not notices by Takato.
"Yes, its me, did you find anything," Takato asked eagerly.
"Yes, I did and its not good," Henry said.
"What's wrong Henry," asked Takato.
"He is ...," started Henry.
"Yes," Takato says.
"Dead," Henry finished. It hit Takato like an atom bomb. The telephone hit the floor. "Takato, TAKATO, are you OK," yelled Henry through the phone. Henry heard shaky hands pick the phone up.
"Are you sure," asked Takato. All Henry gave was a simple yes. "When did it happen," asked Takato.
"It happened five Christmases back," started Henry. "He was probably coming to pick her up for the holidays," said Henry.
"Maybe that's why she shut everyone out of her life because of the pain," Takato thought.
"Thanks Henry, I think I need to talk to Rika," Takato says.
"If anyone can help her its you Takato," Henry says hanging up. His minds made up, he get dress in warm clothing and take off toward Rika's house.
As he is running through the park. He is thinking of how he is going to tell Rika how he feel about her. As he is doing this he is not watching where he is going. He runs right into someone. As he soon found out it was Rika.
"Hi Rika," Takato says shakily.
"Hey Gogglehead," Rika says kind of distantly.
"What's wrong Rika I want to help," Takato asks.
"Its non of your business and you would know anyway," Rika says.
"I know more than you think Rika," Takato says.
"What would that be Takato," asks Rika.
"I talk with your grandmother, she told me about you spend Christmas alone," Takato says.
"Takato that is non of your business," Rika says angrily.
"Yes, it is because I...," started Takato.
"Yes, Takato," said Rika hoping that he says he likes her but scared that he is at the same time.
The funny thing is that after all of their adventure. She developed a crush on Takato but like him she was to scared of rejection that she never acted on it. When she hear him confess to Jeri, her heart cracked but sadly for Takato, Takato was rejected. Her anger soared because of Jeri's rejecting of him. She had always hope that this moment would happen and she would get her knight in shining armor. She never got the chance because at that moment their digivices went off.
"Rika can we finish this later," asked Takato?
"OK Takato," Rika says kind of sadly.
"Lets go Rika," said Takato as he and Rika take of toward the digimon.
