Princess Viv: My first anime/manga ficcie! Yay, I'm starting to write one at last!!!
Chikomon: Finally, something about Digimon!
Leafmon: Yay!
Princess Viv: And more muses to put up with…groans Anyway, the summary:
A Kouji/Izumi story. Kouji left Japan three years ago due to his father's job right after the Chosen Children returned from the Digital World, and Kouichi recovered. He did go and see his birth mother with Kouichi, but kept this from his father and stepmother. Then, Kouji travelled to England, to Italy, and finally France over the period of three years. He lived in each country for about a year.
Now he returns to Japan for good. Kouji sees the other children again, but they aren't children anymore. They are all teenagers (well, maybe except Tommy). Kouji goes to the same school as everyone else. Kouichi attends that school now, and Tommy has just entered the school too.
Takuya and Izumi have been dating for a year. When Kouji joins their class, along with another girl, Keira, Takuya finds himself a new female rival, and Izumi finds herself pondering over her and Takuya's relationship. What will happen?
Princess Viv: I have mixed up the names a bit. I have used the English names for some characters and the Japanese names for others. So here's the list, and the name's I'm using are in bold:

Disclaimer: No, I don't own Digimon, Digimon Tamers or Digimon Frontier.
Princess Viv: The surnames of some of my OCs are taken from Digimon seasons one and two because I couldn't think of any Japanese surnames. Please read and review and tell me what you think-keep in mind this is my first Digimon fic.
Digimon: Return To Me Chapter 1: We meet againA navy haired boy of fourteen stepped out of the airport with two adults and breathed in the fresh air of Japan.
"Welcome home, Kouji." He murmured.
"A new year!" Izumi sighed, plonking her purple bag on her designated desk. "A new class, and new teachers." She had her hair down, as usual, but she'd lost the hat. She wore a pale purple shirt with long, wavy sleeves, a violet shirt, and navy shoes.
"You got that right." A voice said from behind her. Izumi turned round to see her friend, Eva. She was pretty, with curly, brown locks up to her waist, and big, emerald green eyes.
"Hi Eva! Great, we're in the same class!" Izumi smiled, and perched herself on her new desk. "So, what did you do in the summer?"
Half an hour later…A young woman stood at the front of the room. Her browny-blonde hair was screwed up in a tight bun at the back, and she had pastel grey eyes.
There were only three empty seats remaining. One beside Izumi and a left over table in the corner of the room. "Good morning class. I am Miss Hida. I am your new form tutor. Today, I want to welcome two new people into our class. This is Keira Kido."
A girl with shiny, ginger red hair up to her chin walked into the room; a mischievous smile played on her lips and a twinkle of trouble sparked in her emerald eyes. "Hi." She merely said. Since the school didn't have a uniform policy, Keira wore a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt with red writing, saying: "I'll die trying".
"And this is---" but Miss Hida was interrupted as the door slammed open and a tall boy walked in, hands in pockets, head down. He looked at the teacher disapprovingly, and then at the class.
Izumi gasped. "Kouji!" everyone turned to look at her, especially the girls. Izumi ignored everyone and stared straight at her old friend. Their eyes locked. Sea green against sea blue. Eventually, Izumi smiled at him, and he, surprisingly, gave her a small and rare smile. His eyes no longer showed hostility.
Kouji then looked to his right, and nodded at Kouichi, his twin, who smiled in return. They planned to keep their sibling ship a secret to the other students for now.
Miss Hida coughed. "Yes, everyone, this is Kouji Minamoto. Kouji, since…er…" she looked at Izumi.
"Izumi." Izumi said.
"Yes, thank you. Since Izumi here already seems to know you, please will you take the empty seat next to her."
Kouji didn't reply, but simply walked over to Izumi and sat down. Izumi received a few jealous glares from other girls, but she didn't care. "Hi." she whispered quietly.
"Hi."
Izumi stared at Kouji. "He said hi back." She thought. "Wow." She looked at him carefully. His hair was slightly longer, and as usual, in a ponytail and covered by a new navy and white bandana; he wore a pair of navy jeans, a white polo t-shirt, a navy jacket with a white logo of "Adidas" on it, and white trainers. "He looks cute." Izumi thought. "What?! I can't think that! I shouldn't!"
"And Keira, please will y---" Miss Hida was once again interrupted by the door as a brown haired boy skidded in, a pair of goggles perched on his head.
"S-s-or-ry I'm l-late." The boy panted between quick gasps for air.
"Your name?"
"Takuya. Takuya Kanbara." He wore brown trousers up to his knees, a baggy, red, football t-shirt and black football trainers.
"Right Takuya, I'll forgive you this time, but blah blah blah…"
While Miss Hida rambled on, Takuya looked round the room; he saw his girlfriend, who was looking at the person sitting next to her. He glanced over, and saw a familiar face.
"Kouji?" Takuya exclaimed, peering closer. "Is that you?"
"Great. I guess you know Mr Minamoto here too." Miss Hida sighed. "Does everyone know him?"
"Nah, he's just my old friend." Takuya beamed. Kouji managed to give him a small smile. "Anyway," Takuya continued, "Who is she?" he pointed at Keira.
"She is your new classmate." Miss Hida sighed again. "If you had been here earlier, you would've known."
"Ah, right!" Takuya laughed, and rubbed the back of his head.
"Does he still make himself look so stupid? I thought he would have changed over the last three years. Guess I was wrong." Kouji whispered to Izumi.
"Yeah, he still acts like that. And I've had to put up with that for three years." Izumi giggled quietly.
"Anyway, Takuya and Keira, you two will have to sit at that remaining empty desk over there. Off you go then." Miss Hida ordered the two.
Keira glared at Takuya as they sat down. "Why do I have to end up sitting with you?"
"Because you've been blessed by god." Takuya smirked.
"You're so full of yourself."
"Oh, and you can talk!"
Izumi looked at the two bickering loudly, and felt…nothing. She had been dating Takuya for about a year now, and she felt zilch when it came to him with another girl. And she was still disturbed at her thoughts towards Kouji. "What is happening? Am I not really supposed to be with Takuya? I don't get jealous over him. Do I like Kouji more than him?"
"Whoa! Slow down there girl, no way. You no way fancy Kouji, the lone wolf. Impossible."
But the more Izumi thought, the more confused she felt, until she dozed off…
"Izumi. Izumi."
"Um…five more minutes please…you know the drill…"
"No Izumi, it's me, Kouji. Wake up."
"Huh?"
Izumi lifted her head off the desk and yawned. "Where am I?"
"In class." Kouji gave her a void expression, but his eyes showed a hint of amusement.
"What!" Izumi's head shot up.
Suddenly, the bell signalling the beginning of lunch rang. "Time to go Izumi."
"Yeah…thanks."
Kouji shrugged. "Where's the cafeteria then?"
At the cafeteria…Izumi, Kouji, Takuya, Kouichi, Tommy and J.P. sat at the same table, eating lunch. Kouji was on the left of Izumi, while Takuya was on her right. Kouichi sat in front of his twin, Tommy next to him, and J.P. was facing Takuya on the little boy's other side. "It's great to see you here again, mate." Takuya grinned widely at Kouji. "We missed you a lot."
Kouji just smiled, remaining silent.
"Ah, the usual Kouji." Kouichi smiled slightly at his brother's reaction.
"So, Tommy, how's your new class here?" Izumi asked.
"It's okay, but I feel kind of shy." Tommy had lost the hat now, and had grown a lot taller. He wore moss green trousers up to his knees, a dark blue t-shirt, and white trainers.
"Hey, it's fine. You'll soon make new friends." J.P. patted the youngest of the group gently. He had also grown slightly taller, but nothing about him had changed much. He wore leather coloured trousers, a red pullover with a hood, and black trainers.
"So, Kouji, what brings you back here? And why didn't you tell us?" Takuya munched on his sandwich, everyone's attention back on their newcomer.
"Well, my Dad decided to come back and settle down again." Kouji seemed glad.
"I'm happy." Izumi whispered quietly, unconscious of what she had just said. Only Kouji and Kouichi heard, though.
"Why didn't you tell us? We would've come to pick you up." J.P. mumbled through a mouthful of food. Usually, Izumi would've contradicted him for doing so. Not today.
Kouji shook his head. "I decided not to. But Kouichi knew." He turned to his twin. They smiled slightly at each other.
"Are you okay, Izumi, you seem kinda silent." Takuya frowned, suddenly noticing her playing with her food.
"No, no, I'm fine." Izumi shook her head and smiled falsely. Kouichi, and especially Kouji, frowned.
"I wonder if she's okay…" Kouji thought, worried. "Why do I care though?" he contradicted himself. "Cos she's your friend." His other side countered. Kouji sighed inwardly and gave himself a mental note to talk to Izumi later.
Suddenly, Eva wandered over, followed by the new girl, Keira. Kouichi smiled inwardly as they approached. "Hi Izumi. Hi everybody. Hi Kouji." Eva beamed. "I'm Eva, by the way." The statement was directed at Kouji.
Kouji nodded.
"Guys, say hi to the other new person, Keira." Eva was an extremely friendly person, and always the first to approach new people.
"Hi." Everyone chorused except for Takuya and Kouji, who once again, merely nodded.
The two girls sat down. Eva sat next to J.P. and Keira was forced, grudgingly, to sit next to Takuya. "So," Eva began, turning to Tommy. "You are who?"
"I'm new here, in year seven. I'm called Tommy." He spoke quietly and shyly.
"Well, welcome!"
"Thanks."
Meanwhile, Keira and Takuya had started to bicker. Again.
"Hello!? Get off the salt, I got it first!" Keira shouted. They both had one hand on the salt bottle.
"What do you mean, you got it first? I so did, not you!" Takuya countered.
"Excuse me, LADIES first!"
"Lady? What lady? I see no lady!"
"How dare you insult me?!"
"Wow. You actually realised I'd insulted you. Amazing. I thought you had no brain."
"Shut up! You're SO full of yourself, do you know that?"
"I am not."
"Yes you are. I bet no girl would even want to go out with you!"
"Actually, I have a girlfriend!"
"Who?"
Suddenly, three girls crowded round Kouji. "Hello gorgeous." A girl with platinum blonde hair batted her eyelids at him. "Who are you?"
"None of your business." Kouji carried on eating.
"Oooooo!" the girls giggled. Inside, Izumi was getting angry with them.
"I think you're so handsome." Another girl with jet-black hair smiled.
"Do I care? No." Kouji ignored them.
The girls made one more stab at him.
"Do you wanna go out?" The remaining hazel haired girl touched Kouji's hand.
Just as Kouji was going to tell her to get lost and flick off her hand, Izumi blew.
"Why don't you b####es leave him alone?" she fumed. "Get off him!" Izumi then grabbed the hazel haired girl's hand and threw it off Kouji. "He's not interested, so get lost!"
"Whoa there." The blonde straightened up. "Who do you think you are?"
"I'm his friend." Izumi glared back.
"Well, what gives you the right to tell us what to do?" the black haired one backed up her friend.
"I have a right to do anything I want. It's a free world." Izumi replied, "And like I said before, get lost!"
"Yeah." Kouji suddenly stood up. "Leave. I don't want you here."
"Fine then." The hazel haired one leaned forward to him. "But I'll be waiting." She whispered in his ear.
Though it was quietly spoken, nothing escaped Izumi. As the girl drew away, Izumi gave her a full on slap. The dining hall silenced at the loud contact of hand and cheek.
"Ah!" the girl fell down.
Silence.
"Slut." Izumi growled maliciously.
The other two girls helped the third up. "You'll pay for that!" the hazel haired girl spat. "And I'm not the slut here. You are." She turned to Takuya. "I'll be careful if I were you. She doesn't seem too loyal. She's probably dating him" she indicated Kouji with her head, "behind your back."
Izumi and Kouji just looked at the girl with their mouths open. But for different reasons.
"Don't be stupid." Takuya laughed in the girl's face. "Kouji only got here yesterday. No one knew." He eyed Kouichi though, "And I would trust Izumi with my life."
"You are all losers." Her eyes burned with hatred as she left with her friends, head held high. The cafeteria became a little noisy again.
"Wow." J.P. tried to suck up to Izumi. Again. "You were amazing there!"
"Whatever J.P." Izumi huffed, and sat down.
Kouji sat down too, mutely.
"So," Keira broke the silence, "Izumi's your girlfriend. Right?"
Takuya nodded.
Kouji suddenly had a lot on his mind. And the stuff he was thinking about wouldn't go away.
Princess Viv: There you go…That was rubbish compared to my Golden Sun stories…but hopefully, it'll get better.
It will be a Kouji/Izumi fic. You can guess who Takuya and Kouichi are paired with, can't you?
Please review.
