Okay, Anonymous reviews are enabled. :}
Sorry it took so long to update, but I college is killing me.
Oh, and the title comes after a Leona Lewis song. The name of the song is just Stone Hearts, but the chorus has 'stone hearts (ruki) and hand grenades (ryo)'. I know it sounds lame, but the lyrics SCREAM ryuki.
Disclaimer: I actually own digimon, but I don't like to brag so I'll pretend that I don't. ;)
Beware: I love adjectives.
Ryo woke up feeling like shit. He took a long minute before finally opening his eyes to look at his surroundings. He found out it was useless, since everything was extremely dark. The only source of light was coming from what it looked like the bottom of a door. He groaned feeling every single muscle of his body aching and managed to stay into a sitting position. He felt his left leg heavier than usual then found out it was chained to the wall behind him.
"Where the fuck I am?" he thought a still a little bit sleepy. Then Ryo heard a chain noise, from the other side of the room.
"Who is there?" he asked his voice a little higher than usual.
Ryo heard a loud noise as if the person/thing startled with his voice. Then he heard another shuffling sound from the other corner of the room.
"What the fuck is this?" a man's voice almost whispered, but Ryo heard.
"Jen?" another male voice came from the other part of the room.
"Yes, it's me. Is that you Takato? Who else is here?" the other voice said.
"That would be me. Ryo."
"Ryo!" Takato's voice almost screamed. "When did you get in Japan?"
"Well, actually I didn't… I think we are far from Japan… or the Earth for that matter." Ryo said while stretching his back. "Blacking out in the middle of a digital field only could be something related to the digital world." Ryo thought "Specially if I wake beside two people who lived 8800 kilometers (AN: +-5500 miles) away."
"Yeah, I remember now. We followed a signal from our D-Arcs then a voice said something and we blacked out. We can be in the digital world." Jenrya said.
"Yeah, my D-arc reacted too. But I didn't hear any voices…" Ryo was cut by the loud noise coming from the door. Someone opened it and a bright light was turned on and lighten up all the room. The all closed their eyes, trying to adjust to the clarity.
"Fuck, this bitch was a pain in the ass!" a low creepy voice said.
"Yeah, she managed to kill Black PawnChessmon! Never thought one of them could kill a digimon so easily!" another voice, a little high pitched said.
"I hope the boss teach her a lesson later." The first voice said.
"Ha! That's unlikely. I heard she is going to be his new pet." One of them laughed.
Then the tamers heard a noise of something soft being thrown on the floor and then the lights were turned off again.
"What was that?" Takato asked.
"It was too fast for me to adjust my eyes." Ryo said.
"Same here." Jen agreed.
"Well, what do we do now?" Takato asked.
"Don't know about you, but I'm going to sleep a little. I'm unbelievable tired." Ryo said and with that he adjusted himself on the floor and quickly drifted to sleep.
"Well, we don't have other choice, do we?" Takato said and did the same. Jenrya shrugged. How could they think of sleep in that kind of situation? He shook his head and then mirrored his friends.

Ryo wakes up on the cold floor. He opened his eyes only to find out that now he could see where he was. The light came from two very small windows on the wall behind him and the wall behind Takato, who was still sleeping. The place was, as he suspected, a dungeon. He cursed under his breath and stretched on the floor. With that, his feet touched something soft. He sat up immediately to look what it was.
His eyes grew as big as saucers when he saw that on the stone floor was a beautiful slender redhead. Her eyes were closed (he had a feeling that she wasn't sleeping, though) and her long silky red hair was spread on the floor and her bangs almost covered her closed eyes. She was wearing what looked to be a military uniform; a white button-up shirt with a little beautiful golden emblem above her (beautifully shaped and perfectly sized, Ryo might add) breasts and her black jacket - with the more emblems – was opened. Her black skirt was short and showed much of her gorgeous long legs. Also, in her left thigh he could see a gun holster, but there was no gun in it. She wore black heels too. She had some bruises in her arms and legs, but he couldn't see any trace of blood. Then again if they were in digital world, she couldn't bleed even if she wanted.
"Is she, isn't it?" a voice brought Ryo back to reality. He turned to see Jenrya sitting and looking at him sternly.
"I… I guess." Ryo looked away with a frown. Something about the way he looked at him made him feel guilty. Ryo was aware of the strong friendship Ruki and Jenrya had. And he was pretty sure Lee hated his guts for being the reason she left.
"Making her leave was the last thing I wanted." Ryo whispered to himself. Jenrya heard and quickly narrowed his eyes to Ryo.
"Really?" Jenrya nearly shouted "You really thought that cheating on her wouldn't take any effect on her? You make me sick you fucking bastard!"
Ryo looked at him in disbelief and felt his own temper rise.
"Watch your mouth when you talk to me, you sick fucker. You don't know shit. I was tricked. I was fucking drugged." Ryo closed his fists. He had to control himself to not raise his voice. "I was fucking drugged, I never cheated on Ruki. I would never do that."
Jenrya dropped his attitude and casts his confused gaze on the floor. They remained silent for a couple of minutes.
"If that is true then why didn't you tell her that?" Lee asked.
"Don't you think I tried to talk to her? Plus, I didn't know she was planning to leave, goddammit!"
"I never knew that." Jenrya stopped and looked at Ryo "Did you really tell her what happened? Actually, what the hell happened?"
"No I didn't tell her…Never got the chance.I doubt that she would believe me though." Ryo looked over to Jenrya with sorrow in his eyes. This made Jernya feel really bad. "Do you remember that crazy chick Tomoyo that was leader of my fan club?"
"The one that Ruki beat up for trying to kiss you?"
"Yes that one."
Jenrya nodded and then Ryo continued "Well, one day I received a basket full food and drinks in my house. It said that was from my grandma. She lives in Fukuoka, but we are very close and she often sends stuff to me. I tried to call her to say thanks, but she was in a cruise, therefore, unreachable." Ryo ran his hands through his hair. "Well, Ruki was supposed to stay with me that night so I didn't touch the food so we could eat together. I just took one of the bottles with root beer and was finishing drinking it when I heard someone at the door. I thought it was Ruki, but it was that Tomoyo chick with some 5 or 6 other girls. She said something I don't remember and I was about to tell them to get the hell out but I remember feeling dizzy and falling on the ground. Then I just remember waking up with a scream and seeing Ruki at the door of my room, with a look I'll never forget." Ryo closed his eyes and continued "I was in my bed without any clothes and this crazy girl naked right beside me. The rest is history. Ruki run and I tried to go after her, but with the rain it was useless. I went to her house, but Seiko and Rumiko didnt let me in. I tried hard to talk to her, all kinds of way. But she always run away when I was after her and never answered any of my calls, emails, letters or messages. I never saw her again." Ryo looked over to Ruki.
He never in these 3 years passed a day without thinking about her. His wildcat sure was hard to get, but God he was happy when he finally got her. He would die and kill for her without thinking twice. And the same amount of happiness he had when they were together was the amount of sorrow and pain when she left. He got to send the crazy fan girls to jail for 2 years because of the drugging, but he didn't know if telling Ruki that, would prove something to her. He stared intently at Ruki, who turned to her side so her face was towards him. "God, I love her." He thought resisting the temptation of touching her face.
Jen looked to his side and saw Takato sitting up looking to Ryo with concern. "He must have heard it." Lee thought.
They remained silent for much time, the only movement was Ruki moving lightly on the floor, when the heavy door opened again. The 3 males were surprised to see an Ogremon and a Fugamon in front of them.
"Haha, they are up, it should be interesting!" one of them said.
"The bitch isn't!" the other looked at Ruki.
"Clean your filthy mouth before saying anything about Ruki, you creep!" Ryo growled and close his fists, the other two tamers unknowingly doing the same.
The two digimon exchanged looks before nodding their heads and each one headed to Takato and Jenrya. They opened up the lockers of their chains and motioned them to stand up. The tamers objected, but it was in vain. Fugamon opened Ryo's lock but threatened him with his cube, so Ryo wasn't allowed to stand up like the others. The evil digimon said nothing more and took Takato and Jenrya out of the room. Ryo screamed protesting, but in vain.
Sighing Ryo sat down again and looked down to Ruki. He noticed that she was stirring and he felt that she was going to wake up. Her eyes flickered lightly before opening. Ryo caught his breath once he saw those amethyst pools that he missed so much.
Okay, I didnt answer any of the questions of the chapter one. Sorry. :D
(Kazu and Kenta can wait. :X)
I dont want Ruki to forgive him so fast... But how much she could resist Ryo, hm? I wouldnt for much. :9
Thanks for all the reviews!
