As a little girl, I always loved Digimon, and really, only Digimon Tamers.
I always dreamed of having my own Digimon, Diamereamon, and being with HIM, for somehow, I felt a strong bond to this fantasy character.
Reading this made me cry my heart out at three in the morning, yes. The boy of my dreams so battered and bruised and confused from love... These new characters...this most fascinating story plot. I have always somehow LOVED Henry, often calling him Jian, even though, as previously mentioned, he was never real.
I had "discovered" Digimon Tamers whenever I was in the fifth grade, and I saw Henry, making him almost instantly my favorite character, just because of his pascifist like self. He had everything MY fifth grader mind could think it wanted in a man.
As I entered the seventh grade, I had began to walk through my house, my younger siblings had Digimon Tamers turned on in the living room and my younger brother said "Look, Rin, it's your BOYFRIEND, HENRY!" I had stopped watching Digimon after I finished watching Tamers and Locomon and everything else (I still have yet to watch Message in the Packet) and I looked at Henry's face on the screen. He was shown looking right at me, saying "There you are!" And I remember feeling tears come to my eyes, thinking "Jianliang...?" I had to take a seat, and I began to watch Digimon ALL OVER, and I felt a warm hand against mine, and as if he was right next to me, sometimes giving random commentary, which was nice. I know we all have a Guardian Angel, and this "bond" I shared with Henry or Jian, Jian seemed to be my Guardian, I could always feel him with me, behind me, TALKING TO ME. He always told me "Forever", as mentioned in this article. I believe God had me watch Digimon Tamers so I could "meet" Jian and have closer contact with my Guardian Angel. But anyway, he always helped me out with anything I needed, all I had to say was "Jian" or "Li-kun" and he would almost automatically say "Yes?" Or "I am here, my love." This seems silly, but after reading this, I feel like I have done a very terrible sin...
Right after I finished watching Tamers, a new boy at Church showed up (Just to say IDK Y, but I go to an Apostolic Pentecostal Church) and I liked him, until seventh grade, so it was nearly THREE YEARS. Jian would still be there for me, course, but was always telling me how he wanted to be with me and he didn't feel that this Church boy was the one. Sure enough, you should always listen to your Guardian Angel, because me and this boy ended up getting in a fight and never really speaking to one another after it, and reading this, I feel that this is how he must have felt after I left HIM. Ruki, Yuna, Trina- all those girls. He just wanted to find one like me, and I actually wrote LOTS OF Digimon Tamers fanfic during my Digimon times, and we were always various ages, and in one, he actually did end up leaving me whenever I left him for good, and he as planning on getting married, as Ruki did in this selection. I always felt Jian was meant to be with me, and even now he is whispering to me "Type this...
Thank you."
And I say back
"For what?"
And with a warm smile, he says
"For loving me. Not like Ruki or those other girls, I think we both know we are both meant for each other, yo ne?"
And with tears, I smile and say
"Aishiteru, Jian."
And he, with a smiling face and crying eyes, says,
"Aishiteru, Rin-chan.
Aishiteru..."

I see that everyone is to blame. I'm not so easily moved by anything, ugh, it makes me feels so heartless. Why won't I cry?!

Again, pretty much speechless. I just want to cry out "How could you Henry?!" If he really loved her then she would always be on his mind and he would never be able to move on but he would still live his life out in hopes that maybe one day things would turn out better.

...Yowza...I'm speechless for the most part. And it's interesting how her father's execution date is four days before Rika's birthday. Also, Hori should've been arrested too unless he's still in secret with the whole assassin thing.

When Henry made that retort to Trina, ouch. I feel so sorry for Henry and I can't necessarily hate Hori. It's much to hard to.

...Yikes. Quite an intense situation, definitely not something I ever want to go through in my life.

Come on Ryuin/Hori, move faster! Yay Ryo! Come on Hori!

I'm glad Ryo won't be alone but I wonder if Hori will find his perfect princess. Either that or he'll protect Rika and die himself. That would be really sad, dramatic, and sweet.

That little note you made in the ending, your words not mine but if I did use words, I'd use those. I know Takato and Jeri would be mushy but that's way too overboard. Sucks for Ryo...Wonder what'll happen with Ryuin/Hori.

This explains so much and a few of my questions too. I still think Rika's overreacting though.

Okay, wow, that is confusing. Rika seems super popular. Wonder what will happen now.

I meant to ask but how did Hori vanish? He was hit by a car so what happened then? Furhtermore, of all people to want to kill Rika, it's her own father, whoa. Hori doesn't seem like a bad guy. Finally, Rika's really unreasonable. Did and does Henry know that she likes him, if he doesn't, by that means he doesn't know what he did wrong to make her hate him and she should know that. It's just very confusing.

It was just too obvious that Ryuin was Hori after she mentioned how she lost her best childhood friend and I was suspicious that Trina was Shadow and they have been proven correct. I've always had trouble picturing any digidestined/Tamer/Legendary Warrior/DATs member drunk.

Gotta love those coincidences. And it seems like love triangles and rivalries are brewing. This is getting juicy fast.

You whould really label who the main characters are. I love Jenruki but I've read through all of them, or so I thought. I decided to check the oldest stories and I ended up finding yours. It seems to me that there were more Jenruki fans in the olden days but now I barely ever see any new Jenruki works.

Anyway. very interesting but very stupid Henry. It's definitely different from others, date a girl when you're in love with another...smooth...And the ending was certainly a twist. Can't wait to read more.
