Love Is A Battlefield

Omake- Extra: As Long As...

Disclaimer: Digimon and all related characters are not mine. The title comes from the song sung by Pat Benatar, written by Mike Chapman and Holly Knight so it doesn't belong to me either. No money, don't sue.

Here's an extra little alternate scene from chapter six that I got in my head driving home from work one night... enjoy!

He stopped and looked back up at me with soulful, searching eyes as if hoping I had the answers.

Which I didn=t. I was speechless. How do you respond to questions like that? Answering required sensitivity and reassurance... neither one my specialty. I took a deep breath... and music began to play in the background. I felt myself moving against my will to stand opposite Ryo. With a confused look on my face, I began to sing.

"Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine

I'm leaving my life in your hands

People say I'm crazy and that I am blind

Risking it all in a glance

Ryo's jaw dropped in shock at these events and his eyes were glued on me as I (unwillingly) began to gesture along with the words.

"And how you got me blind is still a mystery

I can't get you out of my head

Don't care what is written in your history

As long as you're here with me

As I began the chorus, I heard two voices joining in with mine.

"I don't care who you are

Where you're from

What you did

As long as you love me

Glancing back as my body started dancing to the music, I saw that Juri and Shuichon had joined me. They were dressed like idols, Juri wearing a short yellow dress with one wide strap, green leggings and opera gloves, and yellow knee-high boots and Shuichon in a short, sleeveless purple dress, light pink leggings and opera gloves, and purple, heeled Mary Jane's. Seeing their outfits, I looked down at myself and was (relatively) relieved to see that I wasn't in a dress. However, I was dressed in a sparkly, high-necked, long-sleeved navy shirt, silver vinyl pants, and navy platform tennis shoes... not much of an improvement.

"Who you are

Where you're from

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

Finishing out the chorus, I hoped that maybe this little number would stop but that hope was dashed when I started into the second verse.

"Every little thing that you have said and done

Feels like it's deep within me (ooohh...)

This verse had more dance steps than the last. Juri and Shuichon continued providing back-up vocals and dancing.

"Doesn't really matter if you're on the run

It seems like we're meant to be

Ryo had progressed past shock and into amusement.

"I don't care who you are

Where you're from

What you did

As long as you love me

Back to the stupid steps that went with the chorus...

"Who you are

Where you're from

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

Please let me stop...

"Yeah~eh~eh...

As long as you love me

I was really trying to break free of whatever was making me do this but was unsuccessful. By the looks of them, Juri and Shuichon were having the time of their lives.

"I've tried to hide it so that no one knows

But I guess it shows

When you look into my eyes

With that line, I caught Ryo's eye... he stared back with intensity in his blue eyes.

"What you did and where you're coming from

I don't care

As long as you love me baby

Ryo began to approach where we were dancing and I was finally able to stop dancing. Juri and Shuichon continued to sing the chorus and dance behind me. As he came nearer, he reached out and opened his mouth to say...

Slapping my alarm clock, I sat up quickly and rubbed my face.

_Thank goodness_ that wasn't real.

Then I chuckled. No more American pop before bed... I don't care how much Kimiko says it improves your English.

Humming, I got out of bed.

"Who you are, where you're from, what you did, I don't care, as long as you love me..."

Owari.

Author's Notes: Well, that was a little visit to my fanfiction roots... most of my pre-Digimon stories are songfics. This was a lot of fun to write... just a little bit of Ruki-torture. ^__^ This officially ends 'Love Is A Battlefield'. It was a lot of fun to write and I hope to visit this timeline again in the near future. Hope you enjoyed the ride!

Sore ja!
