Takato hit Rika hard, hard enough to knock her off the bed, hard enough to brake her noise, and hard enough to scare her half to death," You Bitch! How dare you do this to me! WHY?!!!" tears now fell freely form his face " After Jeri left me, after all the the heartache, I finally find someone who loves me AND YOU TRY TO RUIN IT!!!!!"

She was stunned,"Takato I-" " I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!"

His words cut like daggers into her ego, she was at a lost for words; it was just mint to a little prank, she knew he had a crush on her for some time, she just wanted to mess with him. But this, she didn't want this.Takato blindly ran out of her room to her back yard, and would have kept running if he hadn't slammed into Renamon. He burried his head into her mane, tears in his eyes.

"Takato, what's wrong?" she asked as she pulled him closer.

"I...I....I want to go home..." he whimpered. She didn't need to ask why, she just wanted him to smile again.

"O.K., lets go home," and with that, they left.
