Dark-Angel: The last chapter of Valentine Drama is comin your way. As
usual, I don't own anything but the story and a few of the characters. And
I do not own the song, Celine Dion does. An old song but the lyrics work.
It's "Declaration Of Love" from her album "Falling Into You".
Floramon: I have nothing more to say, just enjoy! And thank you to all of our reviewers and viewers!
~*~*~*
Rika ran blindly through the streets of Shinjuku, tears threatening to fall from her heavy eyes. She was searching for someone through the crowds of the busy city. She had an idea of where this person might be, and she was heading there.
Rika had ditched school as soon as she had dealt with Priscilla Avalon (heh, I got the name from Cardcaptors).
She shivered. That was not fun and she didn't intend to do it again. If giving Priscilla a black eye for photo day wasn't enough, certainly what she did next was. Rika smirked slightly as she recalled the events in her mind. She had taken back what she rightfully owned, but not without taking Priscilla's gift, ripping it into pieces, since it was a beautifully handmade Valentine card, and throwing it in the bin.
Although she deserved what had happened, Rika couldn't get the disturbing thought of heartbroken people out of her head. It had happened so much to so many lately, that Rika couldn't help but feel sorry for all of love's victims, including herself. After all, Valentine's Day was supposed to be about love, friendship and romance, but now, it was all about heartbreak, pain and despair. Is there no God?
~*You are my knight in armor
The hero of my heart
When you smile at me, I see
A true world go up~*
As Rika turned a sharp street corner, she found herself thinking about Ryo's smile. Whenever she saw it, her world seemed to light up and all the pain vanished. A smile full of gentleness and kindness. One that no one would ever outmatch.
'What have I done?' Rika thought to herself as she turned another corner. Although she had not really done anything to hurt Ryo, she had made him think the wrong thing and now she was running the streets looking for him. But then again, hadn't she made him think the wrong thing ever since they met? So why did it mean so much now? Why did she even care?
A single tear dropped to the ground as Rika stopped to catch her breath. Why was she crying? Why she even running after him?
~*The river is getting deep, believe it
You're all these arms of mine wanna hold
All wrapped up with a river
Baby, I'm giving you this heart of gold~*
Rika felt a sudden adrenaline rush run through her. She couldn't let this go to waste, not now. She burst into a run again, and soon entered the West Shinjuku park gates. She came to a stop and fiddled with the box in her hand. It was then that she realised just how much this boy meant to her. He had given her friendship and safety even when she gave him nothing in return. And now, she had messed things up completely by spitting everything back in his face, even though she didn't mean it. What she had said about him in class was just an excuse to hide her true feelings about him, like it always was.
She reached for something under her top and pulled it out. It was a silver necklace with the letters R & R in the middle. Hanging down from them was a small fox-head, which looked similar to Renamon. It was Ryo's Valentine gift for her. Carefully put together with all the care in the world and that he had to give.
~*So listen up, it's you I trust
I feel magic every time that we touch
I pledge allegiance to the heavens above
Tonight to you baby I make my
Declaration of love~*
Rika stopped when she reached her destination; Guilmon's hideout. There, leaning against the walls with his eyes tightly shut, Ryo Akiyama stood. His arms were crossed against his chest and they were gently moving backwards and forwards with each breath he took.
Without a word, Rika walked toward him and stopped to look at him when she was a few feat away from him. He was so peaceful, gentle and cute. Yes, she admitted, cute.
Not even noticing her, Ryo kept his eyes shut while he thought about the what ifs, could haves and should haves. What if he had never had fallen in love with Rika in the first place? Yeah, he was in love with her. First, it only started out as joking around with her, but now, that didn't even seem real. He wanted so much more than just friendship. Could he have a relationship with Rika, after all that she had said about him? Ok, sure. She was asked about him, what was she supposed to say? But even so, his heart was still broken after hearing all of those things. And should he have said that she didn't have to get him anything when she was walking home? He was wrong about who his Valentine was, even if it was just a stupid English assignment. And that meant so much now that he had made such an idiot out of himself by telling her that. But still, she had replied with a confused "how did you know?" What was that supposed to mean? Was she just playing with him? Or was she really his Valentine? But wait, Priscilla had told him that she was his Valentine, so how does that add up? Was there more to this than he new about?
~*Just like Juliet belonged to Romeo
You can stay prepared that I won't be letting you go
In the heat of the night
So right you taste my sweetness on your lips
I'll make it better than you ever dreamed
And the rest of your life will be just like this~*
As Rika looked at the boy, her mind wondered back to when they both were at her locker and he had given her his gift and kissed her. The kiss, his kiss, it was so...indescribable. It was unlike anything that Rika had ever dreamed of. Amazing, incredible, and right. It just felt right, like it was meant to be. She took a step forward and accidentally stepped on a brown leaf that was lying on the ground.
Ryo snapped his eyes open when he heard the sound. Looking rather sheepishly at him was Rika, who held her hands behind her back. Her eyes were red and swollen, like she had been crying. "Why?" Ryo thought out loud, wondering why she had been crying.
Rika looked confused. "Why what?"
~*So listen up, it's you I trust
I feel magic every time that we touch
I pledge allegiance to the heavens above
Tonight to you baby I make my
Declaration of love~*
Ryo shook his head slightly and turned away from the girl. Rika walked up to him, still with one hand behind her back, and with the other turned his head to look at her.
"Ryo, I'm so sorry that I called you all those things in class. And I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you like that. You should also know that I didn't mean what I said about you. When I was young, I made a promise to myself that I would never trust in love again, but I guess all that changed when everything started to happen for me. I became Renamon's Tamer and I guess I kind of took that for granted because I wasn't prepared for what happened after we defeated the D-Reaper." Rika looked deep into Ryo's eyes and saw her own reflection staring back at her.

Rika took her hand away from her back to instead show it to the teenage boy. She presented the box to him and leaned forward. "Happy Valentine's Day."
~*So listen up, it's you I trust

A/N: Sorry if it ended too quickly but I want to continue with my other fic so I had to end it.
If anyone wanted to know, Rika gave Ryo a Nomination bracelet with the letters R & R on it. I guess you can what that stands for. Yeah right Rumiko just had it lying around ;) And she had just the right letters too...
Anyway, a big thank you to all my reviewers and until I c ya again, Peace and may it last!
