“Look, I’m sorry about the whole thing! I should have been more careful; I totally messed up the plans for today” said Lily to everyone

“Don’t even go there! You were hurt! And you needed help” said Jeri

“Jeri’s right, it only matters that you’re okay now” said Ryo sitting down next to her and smiling at her

“You are feeling okay right?” asked Rika

Lily nodded, “I guess I’m just not strong enough” she said walking away

Jeri stood up as did Ryo

Rika stopped Jeri “let him do this, shell be fine” said Rika

Ryo found Lily sitting on a tree stump; it looked as if she were thinking, deeply

“Hey, you alright?” he asked

She nodded “it’s just always me you know?”

Ryo knew exactly what she meant; she had been rejected, ignored and pushed away all her life! At a young age her parents got a divorce, and a few years later they both died, he knew why she had come to the digital world, and why she had stayed there for two years,

For her the digital world was the escape from pain, it was the one thing where she didn’t have to face looking at what her parents had left her or how lonely she was, even with Ryo around he noticed that she kept distancing herself, he tried to help her, but she locked herself away….just like Rika had done.

“Look at the good sides, you have friends! And we all care about you! Look at Lalamon, she was sitting at the fire, close to tears because she thought it was her fault you got hurt” Ryo put an arm around her

“I just wish that sometimes I could be normal again, you know, have friends, go to school” she hesitated “have parents” she added quietly

“I know it’s hard but, things change, so do people! Look I’m not very good at this am I?” he asked

She smiled softly and agreed “the others care about you too! We don’t want to see you cry! And you’re not weak!” he stood up and pulled her with him.

When they were back at the so called camp, everyone was still sitting around the corner

“You’re not weak” said Henry firmly, looking at her “you’re stronger than most people, because you can show emotion” Alice nodded in agreement

“She’s definitely not weak!” said Ryo “she’s the only one that ever beat me in the digimon card tournament”

Everyone looked up in surprise, as did Lily “it was only luck” she said quickly

“Yeah no one can beat Ryo man” said Kazu

“Well do you still have some luck?” asked Ryo

“You challenging me?” she asked

“I guess I am”

Everyone gathered around them to watch them play their card game.

Half an hour later Lily put down her card

“I win, you have no defense anymore”

Ryo laid his cards out in defeat “so much to luck” he whispered

“Rika id like a word please” said Lily

“Can it wait? It’s late and I’m tired” she said

“Now please, its only gives minutes”

Rika followed Lily into the girl’s tent to talk

“Do me a favor, and just tell Ryo how you feel”

“What?! Why would I do that?” exclaimed Rika

“He’s not going to wait forever”

Henry and Ryo

“Did you tell Rika yet?” asked Henry

“No, I’m just afraid that she won’t feel the same way”

“She does!” confirmed Henry “unless she just recently fell in love with Kazu”

Ryo smiled “maybe I should just ask her”

“Yeah you should” said Henry nodding

“So how’s it going with Alice?” asked Ryo blankly

“Its fine, she’s changed” said Henry

“Is that good?” asked Ryo

Henry looked uncertain “She’s not like emotionless anymore, but somehow I don’t think she likes Lily a lot”

In the tent

“What if he doesn’t feel the same way? Then I’m standing there like an idiot” said Rika

“Let me point out the obvious, he looks at you, he flirts with you , he smiles at you, I don’t think I need to say more”

“He’s probably just wanting to tease me”

“He’s my best friend, and don’t think he hasn’t been talking about you, he really likes you, so just forget about your doubts and go your way, give him a chance, he really likes you Rika”

“You probably just want to play match maker” said Rika suddenly becoming mad,

She stormed out of the tent past the boy and into the woods.

There she was leaning against a tree, thinking about her feelings towards Ryo.

Suddenly a purple light fell into her chest

“You really let me down Ryo! I thought that you would always be on my side, and I would always be on yours, and I thought somewhere deep down, that you thought more about me!” said Lily’s voice

Rika looked around, she saw Lily standing on what looked like nothingness, like air, Ryo a few meters away from her was starring at her tear glazed face.

“I do! You’re like a sister to me!” He said

“Then why did you leave me behind? Why didn’t you help me?” she asked sobbing

“Because she was in danger, because I couldn’t let her get hurt!”

“So ten years of friendship mean nothing to you?”

“I never said that! Of course I care about you-”

Lily interrupted him

“So why did you choose her over me? I know you love her and she loves you too! But is she so much more important to you then me? Do you really care about her more than me?”

“You can’t say it like that! Lily please understands! It’s like you and Jake! He would give his life to save you”

“And you wouldn’t?” Lily was on her knees

Holding her shoulder

“All I wanted you to do was care!”

Something showed up behind her, and grabbed her

“NOO!” cried Rika and Ryo

Rika ran towards her but it was too late, she had disappeared with the monster that had grabbed her.

“Howling scream!” shouted a low voice, Rika woke up as the purple light came out of her chest and entered a big black figure

She looked around to see who had saved her.

I hope that’s enough, I know it’s not a lot of Ryuki and it was kind of more of Henalice but still, I’m sorry about the exams and stuff I will try to post up a lot! Just please give me some time!

Thanks for all your reviews!

I’ll try to update if you review!
