By Aerisakura
A/N: Ok. Things are like this, Rika thinks of Takato as her only true friend and Takato likes
Rika but is to shy yo tell her so he send her letter as a secret admirer but problems start
when the photos that were taken of Rika in a photo shot (remeber that episode where Rika’s
mom takes her go to a photo shot) are published in a magazine and now Henry, Ryo and
Kazu will try to win her love. How will Rika get ride of them? With all this happening, will
Takato dare to tell Rika that he is her secret admirer?
Disclaimer: I don’t own Digimon nor the fragments of songs that I used in Takato’s letter for
Rika.
Chapter 1: Everybody Likes Rika
“Hey Jeri, wait for me” Takato yelled while running to his friend “Hi Takato” said Jeri
cheerfully “Hi Jeri, I just wanted to thank you for helping me with my little problem” Takato
said blushing “What little problem? Oh you mean helping you to write your love letter” she
said teasing “Don’t said that here, someone may hear you” she laughed and said “There is
no one around Takato, relax, by the way, did you already send the letter?” Takato scratched
the back of his head and replied “Umm, I was on my way to do so, I just saw Rika in the
park and she told me she won’t be going home yet so..” “Then hurry Takato, and if you need
my help again don’t doubt in ask” “Umm, Ok. Jeri thanks and see ya later” Takato then
rushed to Rika’s house.
****At Rika’s house****
Takato was about to leave the letter in the mailbox when Renamon appeared from nowhere
“What are you doing?” she said coldly “I was....I just...” Takato tryed to hide the letter but
Renamon saw it “Is that for Rika” Takato sweat droped and said “Well...yes” “Give it to me
and I will give it to her” Renamon said and stretched out her paw “Umm....thanks Renamon,
but you see I don’t...umm..want her...to..ummm..know that....I send it” Takato blushed and
Renamon nodded understanding what Takato mean “Then I will take your letter and I will
think what to say to Rika, now hurry she is cooming home already” “Thanks Renamon”
Takato said while giving the letter to Renamon “Bye Renamon” Takato said turning to run
away and Renamon disappeared before Rika could see her.
Later that night...
Renamon gave the letter to Rika “Where did you found it, it doesn’t have sender” Rika said
looking for some kind of clue that let her know who send it “I foud it in the entrance of the
house, someone must have slipped it under the front door” Rika looked at the envelope and
open it taking the letter and she readed:
To my beloved Rika:
There’s something in your eyes
That makes me wanna lose my self in you heart
There’s something in your voice
That makes my heart beat fast
If loving you makes a slave of me
Then I’ll spend my whole life in chains
Like my freedom I know
I’ll never let you go
Your secret admirer
Rika was in shock when finished reading the letter, Renamon was curious at what could
said the letter and leave her tamer in that state so she asked “What does it said Rika” Rika
just blinked and said “Is a kind of poem, It’s late Renamon, I think I better go to sleep” she
then went to her room and thought while getting ready to sleep “Who could send it, it
doesn’t have case to think of it now, I better rest” she then fell asleep.
****The next day****
Takato was at Rika’s fovorite tree, he once saw her there and since then they talk there
every day, he was waiting for her to arrive and he started to think “Could she have liked the
letter? Did she even readed it or she just throw it away?” in that moment Rika arrived “Hey
goggle-head, you are early” Takato smiled at her “Hi Rika, how are you today” “Fine, thanks
for asking” she said while sitting under the tree “Umm..hey Rika, would you like to go with
me and my friends to Jeri’s birthday party, is tomorrow afternoon” Takato said while sitting
next to her “I don’t know, I will think about it” “Come on, it will be fun” Takato keep trying
“Don’t push me goggle-head, I already told you I will think about it” she said annoyed and
standed up “I better go now” Takato sighed and also standed up “Sorry Rika, then see ya
later” he smilded “Yea, later goggle-head” Rika said walking away and then the thought of
who could have seend her that letter came back to her head. Takato stayed looking at her
and remembered that he and his friend where supposed to meet in the club so he runned to
there.
************
Jeri was in her way to meet the guys in the club when she saw the book store and stopped
there to buy her favorite fashion magazine and then she keep on walking towards the club,
when she arrived there just Henry, Terriermon and Guilmon have already arrived, she walked
to him and was about to say something when someone interrupted her “Hey guys, sorry I’m
late but I just wake up” said Kazu running to them with Kenta not far behind “Hey guys,
sorry I’m late but my mom asked me to do some errands for her, but now that we are here
why don’t we play some card’s battles?” said Kazu, Henry and Kenta nodded “I will read my
magazine for now guys and I will play later” said Juri.
A few minutes later Takato arrived at the park “Hey guys, hey Guil” said Takato but no one
answered they where’n playing any attention at him then Jeri gasped and everyone looked
at her “What’s up Jeri” asked Takato concerned for her “Well, look at this picture, I think is
Rika” said Jeri showing her magazine and everone looked at it “That can’t be Rika, she will
never use a dress” said Henry blushing “That can’t be the Digimon Queen, she looks nice”
said Kazu also blushing “Guys look well, it is the Digimon Queen” said Kenta looking at his
friend “Uh, guys, why are blushing” “I think I like her” came the reply of Henry and Kazu
while Takato keep quiet “Hey guys what are you doing” a voice said behind them and only
Kenta looked at the owner of the voice “OH hi Ryo, we are just looking a picture of Rika in
this magazine” Ryo looked at the magazine and also blushed “She looks reallly pretty”
“Great, just why I nedded, now everyone likes Rika” Takato thought and sighed “Hey guys I
got to go” “Sure Takato” said Kenta been the only one paying attention while Jeri only
looked at him concerned and said “Bye Takato” Guilmon decided to go with his tamer since
he looked sad.
Rika was walking near the park and saw at Takato and Guilmon, she noticed that he was
sad so she walked to them. “Takatomon, do you feel Ok.?” “What’s up goggle-head, why
the bad mood” Takato blushed but before he could say anything Guilmon said “We where in
the park when Jeri show us a magazine where you appear and everyone say you looked
pretty” “What did you say” Takato laughed nervously “Yea, all Takatomon’s friends say that
they liked you the same that Tak....” at this Takato put his hand in Guilmon’s snout to keep
him from talking while Rika raised an eyebrow “What was that?” “N...nothing, umm..Rika,
why didn’t you tell us about you being a model?” “Bacause I’m not a model it was just a
stupid photo shot that my mother make me go, I didn’t even knew that my mother have let
them plublish those photos, anyway I don’t like it and if you say some smart remark you
won’t live to see a tomorrow” she said angered “I knew it couldn’t be because you wanted it,
is not like you” “What do you mean by that goggle- head” she demanded “Umm, I mean that
I think..I know you..enough to know that you....don’t like those kind of things and dress like
that” Takato said trying not to blush “Well goggle-head you are right about that” was all Rika
could say.
There was an awkward silence until Rika said “I have to go goggle head” “Wait Rika, forgive
me but are you going to come to Jeri’s party tomorrow” “Fine I will go” “Good then do you
want me to pick you up or you know where she lives?” said Takato smiling “No I don’t know
where she lives” “Then you want me to pick you at your house or we meet at the tree, the
party starts at eight” said Takato already knowing the answer “We will meet at the tree at
seven thirty” said Rika walking away “See you tomorrow Rika” said Takato happily while
Rika just waved her hand. Just then Takato remembered that he has to wirte the next letter
to Rika so he hurried home.
****At Rika House****
Rika was about to go inside her house when someone call her form behind so she turned
around to see Ryo in front of her “What do you want here Akiyama?” said Rika annoyed
“Well, it happens that tomorrow Jeri is going to throw a party and I want you yo come with
me” said Ryo very confident “And what makes you think that I will go with you” said Rika
angered “Well you always have wanted to have a card battle with me so lets have it and if I
win you will come to the party with me and if you win I will give you watever you ask, what
do you said?”
