Royal Romance

Chapter 2

AN I know that it took me a long time to update this but I have been really busy lately and have not had time to write any of my fanfiction. I am really sorry I hope that you enjoy this chapter and that you review it.

Ryo hung up the phone and sighed. Now he had to call Takato and tell him not to plan any thing in the way of getting him and Rika. Ryo turned the phone back on and called Takato's house.

"Good afternoon, Izumie's Bakery. How may I help you?" a female voice said.

"Hi, I would like to talk to Takato please." Ryo replied.

"Takato got his own phone line put in today. I don't really want to go giving out his number, so if you tell me your name I'll get him to call you back."

"Tell him that Ryo called and that I need to talk to him ASAP." Ryo said.

"Sure."

"Thanks, bye." Ryo said and then hung up the phone.

All that I can do now is wait for him to call me back, Ryo thought. I hope that he doesn't take too long to call me back. If I know him, Takato is already trying to find ways to get Rika and I together. I hope that he isn't to disappointed when he finds out that I have decided to do this my self.

Just then the phone rang. Ryo pressed the talk button and said hello.

"Hey, I was wondering when you were going to call me. What took you so long?" Takato said from the other end.

"I had some things that I wanted to get done on the internet before I called you."

"Don't you have a DSL connection at least?"

"Yeah I do but I wanted to get that done right away. Nothing against you, it's just that I needed to get it done with out any distractions. And I don't know about you but I would say that talking about Rika and how I could get her to go out with me would be a distraction."

"That's true I guess. I know that I wouldn't want to be thinking about Jeri if I had some thing important to do." Takato agreed.

"Hey why did you get a phone of your own?" Ryo asked.

"It was my dad's idea. He said that it would help to teach me responsibility. That's in front of mom, but he said that if I could handle a Digimon then he thought that I should have a phone. Mom thinks that I am still to young to do a lot of things, having my own phone is at the top of that list." Takato explained.

"That would explain why she wouldn't give me your number." Ryo mussed.

"Yeah she doesn't want a whole lot of people calling me. Do you want my number in case you have to get a hold of me at some later date?" Takato asked.

"I copied it down off of my phone. It has caller ID. What about yours?"

"No it isn't any thing fancy. I don't need any thing fancy right now. But now enough beating around the bush. We have a relationship to get off the ground."

"That's some thing that I wanted to talk to you about." Ryo began. "You see I have been doing some thinking since I got home and I think that if you could provide the opportunity then I could probably do the rest."

"So you don't want any help? What did you do exactly when you got home?" Takato said suspicious.

"Nothing much. I just check the standings for the Digimon card game. I have had a Digimon of my own and know that they are real not data, but I just can't seem to stay away from the game. I feel that it keeps me more in touch with the Digimon." Ryo told him.

"Not to mention that you are the highest ranked player in the world. Followed closely by Rika. Hey didn't she almost beat you one time?"

"Yeah it was a really close match but she was no match for me then. I don't know who would win if we had a match right now. We are both stronger fighters."

"That would definitely be a battle to see." Takato said.

"So when is this get together supposed to be?" Ryo asked.

"Why don't we make it for this Saturday? That way it gives me some time to decide what we are going to do exactly."

"That sounds good. Where and what time." Ryo wanted to know.

"Why don't we have it in Giomon's old hide out? It was good enough to hide him so it should be good enough to hold a private get together in. As to what time, how about we all get there around say . . . ten in the morning that way none of us should be to tiard."

"Sounds good to me. When are you going to tell everyone else?"

"I guess that I'll call them all tonight. That way they have sometime to call me back if they already have some where else to de."

"I'll call half of them if you want me to." Ryo offered.

"Sure that would be great. You could call Rika and Henry that would be great. Then I will call Jeri, Kenta, and Kazue. Be sure to give them my number so they can get a hold of me if need be. Then call me back so that I'll know who is coming so far."

"Alright. I'll talk to you in a bit." Ryo said.

"Sure." Takato said and then he hung up.

Once again Ryo hung up his phone again. Rika's mom would probably still be on the phone so I guess that I'll call Henry, Ryo told himself. Ryo started to pull out his desk drawers trying to find his phone book with all of the other Tamer's phone numbers. It took about five minutes for Ryo to find the book. Once he found it he wrote down Takato's new number then looked up Henry's. Ryo found it, then he called Henry's house.

"Hello? Wong residence." a female voice said.

"Hi is Henry in?" Ryo asked.

"Yes he is. Just a minute." the woman said before she covered the phone and called Henry.

Ryo waited on the other end until he heard another phone pick up and one hang up then Henry's voice said hello.

"Hey Henry. What are you up to?" Ryo asked.

"Oh hey Ryo. Nothing much. How 'bout you?" Henry replied.

"Nothing really. But I am just calling about that get together that Takato is planning. He got me doing some calling to tell people when and where it is going to be." Ryo explained.

"Oh cool. So when is this thing going to be?" Henry asked.

"It's going to be at Giomon's hide out, this Saturday at around ten."

"Cool. I'll be there. Hey how come you and not Takato called me?" Henry wondered.

"I told you that he got me to do some calling for him. He seems to think that there are too many Tamers for him to call them. I think that he just wants to get it all done sooner so that he has more time to plan the whole thing." Ryo said.

"That makes sense I guess. Yeah I can make it this weekend, but I got to go right now. I'll talk to you later." Henry said.

"Bye." Ryo said and then they both hung up.

That's one down, Ryo thought. I wonder if Rika's mom is off the phone yet or not. The only way that I'll find out is if I call her house and see. And if her mom is still on the phone, I could always see if she has her messenger signed in. Ryo dialed Rika's phone number, only to find that the phone line was busy. No problem, I'll just see if she has her messenger sighed in. Turning back to his computer, Ryo opened his messenger and found out that Rika was indeed on her messenger.

'are you there?'

'no it just looks like it.'

'ok. hey what are you doing on saturday?'

'nothing, unless my mother is going to try and get me to go to a photo shoot. why?'

'that is when Takato is going to have his get together.'

'i should have known that, 'cause Henry was just telling me about that.'

'did he just call you?'

'no i have him on my messenger.'

'oh i see. what all did he tell you?'

'every thing that you told him.'

'oh, what is your answer?'

'what do you mean?'

'i mean can you come or not.'

'oh right. that's what you mean. yeah i'll be able to come.'

'what did you think that i meant?'

'well first please don't be angry at anyone but Henry asked if i would go to the get together with him.'

'what did you tell him?'

'i told him that i am going to go by myself.'

'how did he take it?'

'alright from what i could tell on here. he hasn't quit talking to me.'

'i should have known that he would try and take you to this.'

'hey don't go getting like that on me. that is one of the reasons why i like you so much. you aren't over bearing, and you respect what i have to say.'

'your right i have to trust you on this. but you have to give me a little slack with this.'

'no if i start giving you any slack you wont be any fun to be around any more.'

'i guess. but i have to go now and call Takato so that he knows who is going to go and who isn't'

'alright see you later.'

Ryo closed his window. He really didn't like the way that Henry had treated Rika before and now that she was his girlfriend he liked it even less. Take it easy Ryo, he thought, you just got through telling her that you had to trust her so do it. Ryo shook his head and then dialed Takato's phone number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Takato, I called both Henry and Rika, they said that they could both come." Ryo told him.

"Great. Everyone will be there then. That's great." Takato said excitedly.

"Yeah. Is there any thing else that I can help you with?" Ryo asked.

"No that's ok. You have done lots already. Besides, I don't want anyone to know what I am planning to do for the activities." Takato told him.

"Not even Jeri?"

"I'm not sure about her yet. I might let her in on things towards the end when things might need her flare."

"Well in that case, I'm going to let you go because I can tell that you really want to start planning this thing of yours." Ryo said.

"Thanks for all you did. It will be a blast." Takato said then he hung up.

Ryo looked at the phone in his hand. Man he is in a real hurry to get this all planned, he thought. I wonder if he is this excited about all the things, or is it just things that have to do with Digimon? Some things I will never know. Or may be I will, eventually if I decide to ask.

Looking around, Ryo wondered what he should do now. It would be a few day before he heard anything from Takato. I know, he thought, I'll see if Rika is still online. With that he spun his chair around and opened up his messenger. She was still there.

'what's up?' he typed.

After a minute, 'nothing. still taking to Henry. he just won't shut up.'

'why don't you just tell him that you got to go, if you don't want to talk to him.'

'what if i do want to talk to him? hummmmmmmmm?'

'then that is your decision. it doesn't matter to me who you talk to. why would it?'

'ohhhh may be because i'm your girlfriend. or have you forgotten about that already?'

'no i haven't forgotten that. what makes you think that i did?'

'because that would give you a reason for it to matter to you.'

'this coming from you when not a half hour ago, you were telling me not to be concerned with you and him talking.'

'that was then. this is now. and i feel the need to know that you really do care about me.'

Ryo looked at this type. There was something that she wasn't telling him and it had something to do with Henry. Something more then Henry just asking her to go to the get together with her.

'what did he say? besides that he wants to take you to takato's get together.'

'can i trust you not to go over there and kill him?'

'yeah sure.'

'he asked me to go out with him. as in be his girlfriend.'

'what did you say?'

'i told him that i didn't want to move our relationship any farther than it is. that i like just being his friend.'

'how did he take it?'

'i can't really tell. all that i can say is that he is still talking to me so he must not be too awfully mad at me.'

'be careful around him. i know that i am starting to sound really paranoid but i just think that he might try something.'

'yes you are being paranoid. he's my friend and yours. how could you say that about him.'

'i know that he's your friend and mine, but i still think that it would be better for both of us to watch our step when we're around him. he hasn't ever been really violent, but i just think that with all that has happened to him recently he is under a lot of pressure. i also know that he had quite a thing for you and if he finds out that your going out with me he might just snap. and i don't really want to be around when that happens.'

'you could be right but i don't think that you should be afraid of that, right now any way. he thinks that we are still just friends, but when he finds out that we are actually going out that is when i think that we should be worried.'

'that could be.'

'he just asked me if he could join in our conversation. is that ok with you?'

'sure i guess. why wouldn't it be?'

'because of out previous discussion. don't say anything that may make him mad.

'no worries.'

(AN. I'm just going to initial the text so that you know who is saying what. like R will be for Ryo, Ri will be for Rika, and H will be for Henry.)

'hello ryo what's up'(H)

'nothing much. and you?' (R)

'same. so what is up with that thing that takato is planning?'(H)

'he is planning it for saturday, since everyone can make it. though he is not letting any one help with the planning.'(R)

'not even jeri?'(Ri)

'i asked him that to and he said that he might let her in if his plans needed her flare. don't ask me what that means exactly. that's just what i was told.'(R)

'what do you think that he is going to do?' (Ri)

'truthfully i have no idea. i wish that i did. then i could know if i should be afraid to go to this thing or not. lol' (R)

'why would you be afraid any way? aren't you supposed to be the digimon king?' (H)

'what is that supposed to mean?'(R)

'just that i don't see why you would be afraid of anything.'(H)

'my title means that i am good at the digimon game. it doesn't say anything for courage or bravery.'(R)

'that would be the same as saying that i too would not be nervous when ever i encountered something that i didn't like.' (Ri)

'why is that?' (H)

'because i am the queen of digimon.' (Ri)

'that doesn't matter. your female so your aloud to be scared of some things.' (H)

'what the hell is that supposed to mean? that because i'm a girl i am not supposed to be brave? that i have no courage?' (Ri)

'i didn't mean it like that.'(H)

'oh sure you didn't.' (Ri)

With that Rika left the conversation.

'maybe i shouldn't have said that. what do you think?'(H)

'i think that you are right.' (R)

'i didn't mean to make her mad, only that it is alright if she was a fraid.' (H)

'henry if i were you i would quite putting my foot in my mouth.' (R)

'what do you mean?'

'i mean that this all started by you saying that i shouldn't be afraid of anything because i am the digimon king.'

'sorry, but i didn't think that everyone would be so testy about it. sheesh.'

'that's ok, but i got to go. the phones ringing and i have a feeling that it could be my mom and she doesn't like me on the net and talking to her at the same time.'

'whatever later.'

'later.'

"Hello" Ryo said as he picked up the phone.

"Ryo, what took you so long to pick up the phone?" came a woman's voice.

"Sorry, mom, I was on my messenger and I know that you don't like it when I'm on there and talking to you." Ryo apologized.

"That's ok then. Anyway, did you get my message?" asked his mom.

"Yes, I did. Why are you calling me?"

"Just to check up on you. Is that so wrong?"

"No. It's just that I thought that you would be wanting to focus more on your date then me. I mean I can take care of my self and I have been left home alone before."

"Fine then smart ass. Well don't wait up for me. Not that you ever do. Be good and don't destroy the place."

"I won't. Bye."

"Bye."

Ryo hung up the phone once again wondering what he was going to do with the rest of his day. He glanced at his clock. It said six o'clock. He made his way to the kitchen planning to make himself something to make for his supper. When he got there the phone rang. He picked up the phone in the kitchen, "Hello?"

"Hey who were just on the phone with?" Rika asked on the other end.

"My mom. She wanted to make sure that I had gotten the message that she had left on the phone for me."

"Did you?"

"Yeah."

"That's good. Look, I'm sorry that I ran out of the conversation the way I did. But I just got so mad…" Rika apologized.

"That's ok."

"You say that but I was the one who wanted him to come and talk with us. And then I go and leave? That isn't very good."

"I said that it's ok. You had every right to leave when he insulted you. I am surprised that I didn't say anything to him but I thought that you were doing a good enough job of it." Ryo told her with a smile.

"Thanks. What all did you say after I left?" Rika asked slightly nervous.

"Not much. Nothing that would make Henry suspicious. Mainly that he shouldn't put his foot in his mouth all of the time and that I agreed that he shouldn't have said what he did."

"He said that he shouldn't have said what he did?"

"He meant that he shouldn't have said what he did to you. I don't think that I was any where in his mind when he said that."

"That is just stupid. Why wouldn't he be sorry for what he said to you? We are both of his friends."

"Yeah but like you said earlier, he wants to go out with you. So he would be taking how you felt to heart. He may see me as competition and not really care about the fact that we are supposed to be friends." Ryo said.

"That is just stupid. Shouldn't your friendship count for anything with him?" Rika said slightly appalled.

"Not to be mean or anything, but sometimes a girl can destroy two guys' friendship not even knowing that she is doing it."

"You don't think that is what I am trying to do is it?"

"No I don't. But it seems that you are having that effect even if you don't want to."

"I don't want to. It took quite a while before Henry trusted you and you worked hard to gain that trust. I wouldn't want to destroy that." (AN i don't know if that is true i missed that part of the series. if it isn't please let me know. i'd be so grateful.)

"It wouldn't be your fault. If Henry would throw our friendship way for a girl then he can't really want to be my friend in the first place."

"Are you saying that I am not worth your friendship?"

"I'm saying that I think that no girl is that great. And I am sorry to say that you fall into that category even though you are really great."

"As long as you think that I'm still great then I guess that I can forgive you. I don't believe that I just said that. It sounds so corny."

"Yes it does and it sounds really funny coming out of your mouth." Ryo told her with a chuckle.

"Don't laugh at me. OK?" Rika demanded.

"Fine I wont laugh at you." Ryo said sounding really sorry. Then he heard her giggle. "That wasn't that funny you!"

"Yes it was. You sounded so helpless."

"Do you like it when I sound helpless?"

"Actually I do kinda find it sexy. Like I am the one in control."

"So in other words you like it on top?" Ryo asked easily.

"Never tried it, but I think that it might be fun." Rika replied with a smile. "Oh shit my mom is coming and she doesn't look that happy. I'll talk to you later ok?"

"Sure no problem. Bye." Ryo told her and then hung up.

Ryo sighed and then looked around. Now what was he going to do? There was always his home work. Or he could put that off until later and watch a movie now. Ryo tossed his options around for awhile and finally came to the decision that he would do his homework and then watch a movie.
