Love Is A Battlefield
Omake- Extra: As Long As...
***
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...
BEEP BEEP BEEP
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! I've just added this into the regular storyline because it's always bothered me about not being there. I saved the reviews so if you reveiwed, don't worry. This is almost a year after writing this and so much has changed but I still love this story... it was my baby that kept me up nights wanting to get out. Thank you for reading and please review.
Sore ja!

"Well, then there'll be just one less person to poke fun at you, right pumpkin."
