What handcuffs can do

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, Kouji and Izumi would have been togehter in the end

Summary[KouzumiThey were constantly bickering, they were constantly attacking, so now they're constantly together. "Hey I heard if you handcuff two people together they'd learn to comprehend each other!" "That's…that's the best idea you ever had."

"Get you ass out of my face!" "Get your face out of my ass!" Izumi, blonde-haired with aquamarine eyes and Kouji, black-haired with dark blue eyes were at it again; his eye was twitching while an angry vein appeared on Izumi's forehead. It wasn't an abnormal sight; in fact it was a very typical scenario. "Hey guys, let's cool it!" Takuya, slightly flushed and trying his best to get out of the current position he, as well as the rest of the gang were put in.

Flashback

They had been on a family trip. Their parents wanting to let them all share some friendly quality time together while they themselves were off, relaxing in the comfort of their own warm houses. Those hypocrites. They had been walking along the mountain side; it had been snowing now for days. "Izumi you are going to slow." Kouji barked surprising the said girl. "Oh sorry Mr. High and Mighty, but not everyone can walk in a perfect speed such as you. "She scoffed, stomping on Kouji's foot. He winced in pain but other than that, nothing. "Uh, Izumi-nee-chan, I don't think that's nice." Little Tomoki whispered as to not enrage the girl further. Izumi just smiled, looking at poor Tomoki,

"Oh, yes how rude of me I know what to do!" at this Tomoki beamed looking to see if she was going to do what he thought she would do, apologize. "Kouji-kun." She said, slyly adding emphasis on 'kun'. It was then she grabbed his hand and bent it backwards. "SAY UNCLE! SAY IT MINAMOTO!" she shrieked rowdily, Izumi held it there while Kouji was yelling in pain though trying not to give in. Suddenly everything stopped and Izumi let Kouji go. A loud rumbling sound was heard, instantly, their heads turned to the mountain. There it was, what they expected, avalanche. Soon snow engulfed them, and they all blacked out.

Somehow though, they weren't in the snowy region anymore; they weren't twenty feet under snow; and most of all, they weren't dead. They were in what seemed a tropical island, what surprised Izumi more was when she tried moving her foot a small 'oof' was heard. "Orimoto you kicked me!" shouted the annoyed voice of Kouji. Izumi looked around, everyone was jumbled up in a mess, Kouichi's foot centimeters away from her face, Kouji's face now seemingly attached to her own foot. Takuya's face leaning on her stomach, Tomoki invisible except for his occasional shriek for air, and Junpei's massive body covering the little boy.

They tried to wiggle out, only to get into more complex jumbles, and that's where they were now, mixed up in limbs.

End Flashback

Minutes passed and soon hours and all they managed to do was get Tomoki and Kouichi out of the mess. They both were trying their hardest to pull Izumi out, she was sandwiched between Takuya, Junpei, and Kouji. Junpei thrashed about, Takuya's foot got too close to his face and the odor was just too much. Takuya went flying off landing on poor Tomoki, earning a smack from Izumi. Izumi pushed herself off Kouji, standing up to help Junpei and completely ignoring the brooding boy. "The least you could do is help me up as well." He snapped, Izumi ignored it muttering something underneath her breath not to be heard by the others. Kouji knew he wasn't going to be helped up anytime soon and casually stood, eying the rest carefully. "So is everyone alright?" Takuya asked rubbing his back. "Well, I wouldn't say alright," Izumi muttered gently massaging her neck, "but manageable." The rest nodded, signaling they were okay. all of a sudden everyone froze, there was a great glow flashing in front of them.

"Um, you all see that right." Tomoki asked, his eyes widening. They all nodded, and tried touching it. "Don't you dare touch me!" said something inside the blinding light. Everyone's jaw dropped. "No way to treat someone who just saved you life." A girl, no older than fourteen, stepped out coughing uncontrollably, "Eh, -cough- light smoke -cough- sorry." The girl coughed out, slapping imaginary dust away from her face. The rest sweat dropped, staring at the girl abnormally. She was tan-skinned, wore a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts. She had brown hair tied in a long braid with dark brown-ash eyes that were now looking from Kouji and Izumi. "Yo," she greeted grinning madly, "The name's Kara, and, unfortunately, I've been watching you two for quite some time." She added, eying Kouji and Izumi again before turning her gaze to the rest. "You all see the mess they are constantly getting at don't you?" she asked referring to the two. The others nodded dumbly, which in turn received deadly glares from the accused two. "Glad you all understand!" she chirped, putting her hand in her pockets.

"So," Kara said mischievously, getting something out from her pocket, "would you please grab them." Takuya, Junpei, Kouichi, and Tomoki stared dumbfounded, but obeyed either way. Junpei grabbed Kouji in what seemed like a bear hug while Kouichi helped keep his feet from thrashing around; Takuya grabbed Izumi's hands and held in behind her back while Tomoki latched himself onto her knees preventing her from kicking Takuya off. Kara walked in-between the two masses grabbing Kouji's hand and attaching something to his wrist, she then moved towards Izumi and repeated her previous actions. "You may now release them." She smiled, watching them cautiously remove themselves from Kouji and Izumi.

The two stared at the new items adorned on their wrist, handcuffs. Kouji whipped his arm around trying to get the handcuffs off only to have Izumi swung back and forth. "Oh, yeah, forgot!" Kara chimed in sticking out her tongue, "it's a, somewhat, magical handcuff, unbreakable unless the person who put it on, me, calls it off." Kouji glared hard but the girl merely shrugged it off, unfazed. "The only other time it gets off is, well, when nature calls!" she grinned, "then it just snaps back together." She added, clapping her arms together for emphasis. "Well I got to go!" Izumi yelled. "No you don't." Kara retorted, Izumi twitched, "how would you know." She protested, crossing her arms across her chest, bringing Kouji arm uncomfortably close to her chest as well. Izumi, with her un-cuffed hand, slapped him with all her might. 'Eh, they really need help' the girl thought, sighing. Ignoring Izumi's previous question she turned around, a large white light appeared again. "OH, before I go, you'll be getting back to wherever you were before you got her three minutes after I leave," the group of kids were imagining being trapped under snow, slowly reaching their death. The girl knowing what they were thinking about cleared her throat for attention "Don't worry, you won't be under the snow, you'll be above it, and I shall be checking up on you in about thirty days, so you mustn't worry about that. Depending on your, um, status, I release you then or wait another month." At this part Kouji zoned out, 'a whole month with her' he thought. After moments of the atypical girl's rambling a cane came out of the light, yanking the poor girl in by the neck. 'A whole month of my life is placed on a dimwit' Kouji thought, eye twitching uncontrollably.

It was later that afternoon; they had already made it back hours ago. They were inside the rather large cottage their parents had bought for them deciding how to make the rooms. "Well, it's obvious Kouji and Izumi should be together in one room." Tomoki considered, innocently sucking on his thumb, a habit he had when he meant no harm, at this small comment Kouji glared, Izumi blushed, Takuya and Kouichi laughed, and Junpei cried. "There are three rooms, Kouji and Izumi will be in one, but how will the other two be?" Kouichi piped in, tapping his chin. "I'll take Tomoki, I love little kids." Takuya said pinching Tomoki's cheek in a way that a grandma would do. "I guess that's fine." Kouichi muttered tentatively, eying Junpei nervously. "Well that's that!" Takuya said loudly, giving everyone a thumbs-up, "if anyone needs me I'll be in my room!" Junpei looked at Takuya astonished, "How do you know which is your room?" Takuya froze eyes widening, "Yeah, how do I know?" Takuya asked himself, before snapping his fingers, "I'll get the first one I come too!" he said before proceeding down the hall once more. Soon after Takuya and Tomoki disappeared Kouji spoke up, "I'll get the last one." Izumi muttered something, before glaring at Kouji, "What if I want the middle one?" Kouji acted as if he did not hear her, "did you hear what I said?!" Kouji rubbed her temple, "I heard you, but who cares." Izumi lashed out, at least she would have if Junpei and Kouichi didn't stop her.

Izumi and Kouji were in the room assigned to them, the last one, Kouji held a triumphant smirk when Kouichi said that they could have that one. Izumi was trying her hardest to stay away from Kouji but it really didn't help, they were attached. Not emotionally no, the loathed each other, they were attached by the handcuffs, those stupid handcuffs. She felt sleepy, though she really didn't want to sleep, yes, she was childish at this. She was starting to feel more and more heavy-eyed. Kouji watched her, he knew she was going to fall asleep sooner or later; he just wanted to make sure she would not sleep on him. 'That would be disgusting' Kouji thought rubbing his temple, trying to diminish the thought of waking up to her smiling face. 'Putrid! Putrid! Putrid!' He chanted in his head, once again trying to weaken the thought. He watched, he too was starting to feel drowsy, who wouldn't after the hike to this place. He saw Izumi drop off, and waited until finally, sleep overcame him as well. It was a blissful, yet dreamless sleep, his ideal kind of sleep.
