Author Notes:
I'm going to have give you guys another round of apologises. I had a visiting out of town
relative and well I had to spend time with him... So I didn't get the time to check over this
fic... I will say Chapter 13 is coming along nicely and I think I'm back on schedule.

Oh and there is a part that may seem a bit weird in the story but remember Rika and Henry are talking
to Henry's parents... Hope that helps a bit.

Just to answer some questions and hand out Thanks and small messages... If you dont' care skipped down
a few pages I think the story is underneath all this!:

Dark Sakura - Actually Alice won't be going away... (Oops.. should have kept that quiet)
Expect her to be around for a lot longer... Probably till the end of the fic...

Forte - Yes it's gazelle not gazebo I was sleeping... Sorry.

The Legendary Tamer - Thank you and thanks for the picture! (Anyone please check out the site
That Legendary Tamer has it's great! Got some fanart too! Some for my fic
By ~Bang and The Legendary Tamer!

Phoenix of Blood Red Mars - Thanks and I'm sorry for the delay!

LB - Okay you bring an very very interesting point up... Henry has had girlfriends in the past...
However they were never very serious ones... It's like a few of my own relationships, you
have the couple thing where you two are a GF/BF title but it's nothing really there at the end.

keisan - Thank-you as always!

Insomniac Cat - I know another Cliffhanger LOL! Maybe this chapter will be better!

Kara Kasai - Sorry for not being faster I'll try harder for Chapter 13!

Fyredra - I'm glad you like Alice because she'll be still in the story... I actually like her because
I created her! She's my very original character!

Kim Hayes - Thank-you very much.

Sakura - Thank-you I hope I can still keep writing to your standards

Furor - It's hard to maintain a mask, lots of emotions and everything is held back, that is what Rika
has been doing it's just tiring, especially when you don't get any sleep... Trust me at the
end you start revealing parts of yourself that people never see.

DragonBlond O4 - Oh Kenta and Suzie (Yes I know it's suppose to be spelt that way I messed up the first
time I spelt it and I'm too lazy to change it... :-P) Will still be part of the story
I'm just trying not to push the focus of the story away from Rika and Henry...

~Bang - What can I say thanks and hope to see more artwork too! You're art is really great and inspiring too.
I'm thinking of writing a fic on one of your pics.

KaraXIII - Thanks... I'll try to get Chapter 13 out faster.

e.s.l - Oh Alice is definitly staying in the story for a bit longer.

SanChan - Technically I'm a guy so that would make me a bastard not bitch but I get the picture. LOL! I know
I found it redundant too but I really wanted to hammer that point and you know repition is good for
learning... Repition is good for learning... Okay sorry!

Jen - Thanks for the luck and yes Chapter 12 did go through a huge overhaul!

Fyredra - Kazu isn't evil his just thoughtless... Whenever I watch Digimon Tamer Kazu striked me as like Tai or
Davis, very stupid and can put foot and most likely someone elses foot in their mouth but they have a
great heart underneath... He means well...

Sakura Z - Thank-you very much detail is what I'm always worried about.

Renamonrulez - Evil guy steal Rika away from Henry... Don't know but I do have plans... heheheHEHEHEHAHAHAH! Sorry.

Teenager Rika - Ahh... Right I'll keep writing then! LOL!

Private-Bryan - I know but it's sort of a trade mark for authors on this net.

RikaFan1 - If you think this part is sad... I'll stop there.

silentangel - Don't count out anything in my mind anything is possible...

Anywho Thank-You, and on with the story!

On The Line
Chapter 12/?


Henry stopped moving in surprise, one minute he was being rejected the next minute Rika was
kissing him. He attempted to pull away slowly but Rika's arm was firmly around his back and her
hand behind his head keeping him in her tight embrace. Henry's resistance crumbled as he was
soon returned Rika's kiss, gently deepening it, pulling back closer to Rika. They lied there
kissing each other gently both savoured the feeling that they brought to each other. Finally
they pulled away lingeringly, breathing heavily they stared into each other's eyes. They stared
into each other's eyes in question

"I'm sorry Henry," said Rika, "I'm just really scared..."

"I am too," said Henry cutting Rika off, "but it doesn't mean I'm going to let it stand between
us."

"I don't want to let you go," said Rika quietly.

"It's okay," said Henry caressing Rika's cheek, "I'm just scared about losing you."

Rika shook her head, "That's not going to happen."

"Where do we stand?" asked Henry his eyes shining with hope.

Rika looked down unsure of herself, "If the offer still stands, I'm willing to give us a try."

Henry smiled pulling Rika into a tight hug he rested his head on Rika's shoulder, "Thank-you."


**************


"What do you think they're doing?"

"Don't know," said Henry's father changing the channel.

"We should check," said Henry's mother glancing at her son's closed door.

"I would think we could trust Henry, he is the responsible one."

"His also a teenage boy with hormones," countered Henry's mom.

Henry's father looked at his son's closed door thoughtfully, glancing at his wife, "Well...
Maybe a little peak."

The two parents gently pushed the door open walking to Henry's bed they were greeted by the
sight of Henry and Rika sleeping in each other's arms. Rika's head was resting against Henry's
chest while Henry's head rested against Rika's head. They were close to each other but they
held each other gently, both teenagers' faces was relaxed and filled with contentment. A flash
of light surprised Henry's father, turning to his right he saw his wife holding a camera.

"Sorry," she apologized, "they're just so cute."

"Should we wake them up?" asked Henry's father dubiously.

Henry's mother looked at the sleeping pair, "No," she decided, "they both haven't been sleeping
well. We'll just give them a speech tomorrow."

Nodding Henry's father picked up a comforter to cover the sleeping teenagers. Standing back he
put an arm around his wife's shoulder, "I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow's speech."

Henry's mother smiled, "How do you think I feel? I have to talk to Rika."

Sighing the two parents headed to bed.


*************


Rika woke up warm, her eyes were still closed but she felt warm, safe, happy, it was strange,
she hadn't felt this good for a long time, it was a long time since she truly felt rested. Her
eyes opened in surprise, she could hear someone's heartbeat, someone's arms were around her, and
someone's head was rested on top of hers. Then her smell returned, it was surprisingly
pleasant, it was familiar, and it was Henry, smiling the memories of last night rushed back into
her. They had fallen asleep after they had kissed again both of them were tired from the
sleepless nights and the emotional roller coaster they both took.

"Rika?"

Rika shifted slightly looking up, she saw Henry blinking awake, "Hey."

"Hey," whispered Henry smiling.

The two teenagers stared at each other unsure of their next move, "What are you thinking?" asked
Rika breaking the silence.

Henry blushed, "How much I want to kiss you," said Henry honestly.

Rika leaned in but before their lips could touch, "After we finish brushing our teeth," said
Rika teasingly. Pulling out of Henry's embrace she headed towards the washroom with Henry
trailing behind her. Picking up her toothbrush Rika began to brush her teeth, an arm encircled
her while she brushed her teeth, leaning back into Henry who was brushing his teeth. Rika
stared at the mirror that showed her standing in front of Henry, with Henry's arm around her
waist, brushing their teeth together.

After they cleaned their teeth Henry still holding Rika in front of him leaned close to her ear,
"Can I kiss you now?"

"Maybe," said Rika smiling.

Henry began to gently kiss Rika's ear, trailing towards her lips, sighing Rika leaned back
allowing Henry to capture her lips.

"I didn't need to see that," Rika and Henry sprang apart surprised turning towards the door they
saw Suzy rubbing her eyes, "Can't you two make out somewhere else?"

"What are you doing up?" asked Henry glancing at his watch, "it's six in the morning."

"Cartoons," said Suzy annoyed, pushing Rika and Henry out of the washroom, "now if you both
don't mind you're still in the washroom, I believe you have a room Henry, use it instead of the
washroom."

Both teenagers stared at the closed washroom door, glancing at each other they both blushed,
"Henry we need to talk," said Rika breaking the silence.

"My room," said Henry nodding towards his room, a thought quickly crossed his mind, "Umm...
Maybe not."

"Let's go Henry," said Rika annoyed grabbing Henry's hand she pulled him quickly into his room.

"What do you want to talk about?" asked Henry sitting on his bed.

Rika paced the room glancing up at Henry, finally stopping in front of Henry, "Henry don't be
angry."

"Just tell me Rika," said Henry encouragingly, "I won't be mad, I promise."

Taking a deep breath Rika nodded, "I want to take this relationship slowly Henry."

Henry raised an eyebrow in amusement, "As much as I agree with you Rika, I'd like to take this
slowly too, but sleeping in the same bed together last night sort of defeated that purpose
didn't it?"

"Henry," warned Rika annoyed.

"Okay, okay," said Henry holding up his hands in surrender, "I agree with you Rika, this is
something special, I want to take it slowly too."

Nodding Rika smirked at Henry, "So you feel this thing between us is something special?"

Henry looked up at Rika with a worried expression, "Very special," he said truthfully.

Rika stared at Henry's grey eyes something was intense about them, something about them was
always filled with truth and caring that she's never felt from another person. Rika dropped her
eyes from Henry's gaze, walking slowly up to Henry Rika sat on Henry's lap, wrapping her arms
around him she rested her head on his shoulder. "It's very special," she whispered, "but if you
tell anyone Henry that you can make me feel this way I will kill you."

Henry arms encircled her, "Okay," he whispered, a knock turned the two attention to the door,
releasing each other Henry opened the door to see Terriermon standing in front of his parents
that were standing cross armed staring at the two.

"You're parents want to talk to you and Rika Henry," said Terriermon glancing behind him, "and I
don't think it's a good thing."

"Thanks Terriermon," said Henry, "I can see that."

"Just thought I should tell you because you and Rika faces were..."

"Thank-you Terriermon," said Henry cutting his partner off.

Nodding happily Terriermon bounced back into the living room.

"Come on Rika," said Henry's mom turning towards the study, "we need to talk."

"We need to talk son," said Henry's father.

Nodding glumly the two teenagers sighed, as Rika passed Henry she kissed him on the cheek.

Henry smiled and kissed Rika on the forehead before she left.

Closing the door behind Rika, Henry's father pointed to Henry's bed, "Sit."

Henry sat on his bed studying his father calmly.

"Henry about Rika," began his father.

*************

"We didn't do anything," said Rika calmly.

"I know you didn't Rika," said Henry's mother with a sigh, "it's just we need to put some rules
out."

*************

"What kind of rules?" asked Henry wearily.

"Well for starters we want to know what you and Rika are now?"

*************

"We're friends," said Rika evenly, "very good friends."

"Are you two dating?"

*************

"Yes," answered Henry crossing his arms.

"What about Alice?"

*************

"They aren't together," answered Rika seeing Henry's mother's face Rika sighed, "Henry told me
that his date with her yesterday didn't turn out the way people think it did."

"He's not on a rebound is he?"

*************

"Actually I think Alice was the rebound," said Henry aimlessly.

"Excuse me?"

*************

"Long story," said Rika quickly.

"Okay then you need to know a few things Rika, first we like you Rika, Mr. Wong and I consider
you a part of the family. However you won't get any special treatment, Mr Wong and I are going
to treat this like a normal girlfriend situation."

*************

Henry nodded, "Fair enough."

"We also want you guys to be honest with us, we know you two help each other on school work so
when she visits you have to tell us what the intentions are. If she's going to be here as you're
study partner then tell us, if she's going to be you're girlfriend then we want to know."

*************

"I get the idea," answered Rika with a sigh.

"Now that the easy part is done... Rika I have to talk to you... Um... Woman to woman."

*************

Henry's eyes widened, "You can't be serious."

"Do you know..."

*************

"Yes," answered Rika bright red, "please don't continue."

"Okay," answered Henry's mother sitting beside Rika on the sofa, "but I do have to do something
Rika."

*************

"What is it?" asked Henry in a defeated tone.

"Here," said his father handing Henry a palm size, square aluminium foil.

*************

"I don't believe you just gave me this," said Rika staring at Henry's mother.

"It doesn't mean I approve," said Henry's mother uncomfortably, "it's for Henry and you, it's
just in case, you never know when you get caught up in the situation, it's better to be safe
then sorry. You do know how to put this on Henry don't you?"

*************

Henry's face was bright red, "Of course I know how to put it on Dad."

"That's good," said Henry's father sighing in relief, dropping a banana on Henry' bed, "guess I
won't be needing that."

*************

"I swear Mrs. Wong I took Sex-ed class," said Rika bright red, "I don't need you to show me how
to put that on a person."

Henry's mother sighed, "If your sure, I understand it's uncomfortable but your relationship with
Henry is..."

*************

"Rika and I want to take our relationship slowly," answered Henry still shocked.

"I know son, it's just in case something happens. It doesn't mean I want you to give it a try
it's just I don't want you to do something that can change your life dramatically, put in your
wallet son."

*************

Rika nodded, putting the condom into her wallet she sighed, "Happy?"

"That you and Henry are giving it a try? Of course."

*************

"Oh god! Mom!" shouted Henry standing up.

Henry's father grabbed his son's arm, "Relax Henry, you're mother is just going to give the same
speech to Rika."

"That's the point exactly," said Henry waving his wallet in front of his father.

Pushing his son back down, "You want to date Rika this is what you get," said Henry's father
heartlessly.

Groaning Henry buried his head into his hands.
