Kouji and Izumi: Eh-heh... just get on with the story!
Blue~N: Yeah yeah... anywho... ON WITH THE SHOW!!!
Kouji: Story you mean...
Blue~N: WHATEVER!!!
(AN: In the story, Kouji, Izumi and Kouichi are 18. The classes are like an elementary school's, they're just in one room... due to a secret something that will happen to Japan and so everyone-- EEP!!! I've said too much... you'll have to read the story to find out... heh. Ph, and Tomoki, Junpei and Takuya aren't in this fic. Tomoki isn't in it because he went to another school, and same with Takuya. Junpei... well, let's say he choked on some food while he was stuffing his face at dinner and he died. *runs away from Junpei fans*)
----------- Chapter 1: Moving -----------
*BEEP BEEP BEEP* Izumi's alarm clock beeped. Izumi groaned, it was another school day. She pressed the "off" button on her alarm clock and got out of bed. She did her morning routine, take a shower, brush her teeth, eat breakfast etc. "Sayonara, girls!", Izumi's mother called out from the kitchen. "Sayonara, Mom!", Izumi and Copen called from the door, about to start walking to school. Izumi closed the door and her and her sister departed for school.

They arrived at school, then walked into the noisy classroom and to their desks, as slow as a turtle. "Konnichi wa, Izumi!", said her best friend, Maiko, joyfully. Izumi yawned and replied "Konnichi wa, Maiko." Izumi put her bag on the side of her desk and slouched in her chair. "You shouldn't slouch, it's not lady-like!", Maiko said, as she was the "proper" type girl. "Whatever. If you were as tired as me, you'd be in the same position!", Izumi said. Maiko sighed, she just gave up and let Izumi do whatever she wished. The class heard footsteps of high-heeled shoes, clicking on the floor, along with pats of what seemed to be sneakers, clapping on the floor. The class rushed to their seats and acted as if they were quiet the whole time. "Konnichi wa, class! Today we have three new students!", the teacher, Mrs. Sayoru said. Three teenagers walked into the room. There were two boys and one girl. The two boys looked like twins, only one had shorter, dark blue hair , the other had longer, blackish hair and they both had different clothes. As for the girl, she had weird hair. Her hair was in one of those giant clips (AN: I dunno what it's called, I just put my hair in those... there's a pic of one at the bottom), and was dyed black and blue. She wore a black tanktop, blue jeans and had blue loop earrings. In the introduction, the girl went first, she was shy and so she looked at the ground. "Konnichi wa! I'm Amaya Minamoto and I'm 17 years old.", Amaya said. The short-haired boy went next, in a more happy tone. "Konnichi wa, I'm Kouichi Kumara and I'm 18 years old.", Kouichi said. The Longer-haired boy spoke then, moody and looking at the ground, with an emotionless face and tone. "Konnichi wa, I'm Kouji Minamoto and I'm 18 years old.", Kouji said. Kouji actually looked up and saw Izumi then quickly turned his head to the ground. Izumi smiled and got a better posture in her chair. "Kouji, why don't you sit next to Izumi?", Mrs. Sayoru said, pointing to a seat beside Izumi and the window. Kouji went to the desk and slouched in his chair. All the girls were jealous, as they found Kouji pretty cute... actually, they didn't find him cute, they found him VERY EXTRA REALLY REALLY VERY VERY (etc.) cute. "Amaya, why don't you sit behind your brother?", Mrs. Sayoru said, pointing to another window seat that was next to some cute boy, Ray (AN: Ray is from Beyblade, and he's such a cutie... to me, but anywho... on wit' da story). "Kouichi, why don't you sit in front of your brother?", Mrs. Sayoru said, pointing to /i window seat that was next to Izumi's little sister, Copen. (AN: Man! Those kids dun like the window seats!!! There's like, one more left which means four window seats weren't used!) Kouichi walked to his seat, next to the younger sister of Izumi. After that was all over with, Mrs. Sayoru had an announcment to make. "Class, for a while, the school schedual isn't going to be the same anymore. You'll have your classes in my room from now on, as for all the other students in this school. This is because of... uh, well you don't need to know. It's not of any importance! Now, let class start!", that was Mrs. Sayoru's announcement. She didn't seem calm at the end, and Izumi didn't feel as if it was just because of renovation or reconstruction...

Class had gone as usual, just all of the subjects were with Mrs. Sayoru. Soon, it was sience, and Mrs. Sayoru had paired everyone. The pairings for the cast follows as: Amaya and Ray, Kouichi and Copen and Izumi and Kouji. Ray and Amaya were a great pair (AN: Like, no DUH!), but for Kouji and Kouichi, working with girls was hard for them... Kouji the most was having troubles as Izumi and him didn't get along as well as Mrs. Sayoru thought they would. Same for Kouichi and Maiko, just they had a little bit of a more smoother time. After science, the students were forced to do some extra work and take DANCING LESSONS!!! (AN: THE HORROR!!!) The class was complaining, but all the girls (except for Izumi) were hoping to get paired with Kouji. "Oh, and I forgot to mention that your partner in science class will be your permanent partner until the normal schedual returns.", Mrs. Sayoru announced. All the girls had their hopes down. The dance lesson was slow dancing. The teacher instructed to put the man's right hand on the woman's right shoulder and his left hand on the womans hip. As Kouji did this, he blushed and Izumi did too.

It was the end of school, and everyone left for home... but lugages were packed and were at the front door. The whole town had their bags packed! The houses were practically bare and millions of moving trucks were at houses. "Kan ban wa, Mom and Dad! Why's everything packed?", Izumi and Copen asked their parents. "We're moving out of the country! My friend's boyfriend's mother's sister's daughter's brother's girlfriend's sister came up with the idea of moving, and now the whole town is moving out!", replied her mother. "Um... could you rephrase that?", Copen asked. "No time! We must hurry! Load your stuff onto the truck, we're going to the airport!", Izumi's father said. "Well, could you AT LEAST explain why we're moving in the car?", said Izumi. After they loaded all their belongings into the moving truck, they departed for the airport. Alot of families were their, and almost the whole airport was occupied! Izumi and her family rushed to get their tickets. Then her mother explained why they were moving. "We're moving to America. And before you ask why, it's because well, the government is raising taxes, and you know we're low on money! If we don't have enough money to pay our taxes, then we'll be thrown into jail or something like that!", Izumi's mother explained. "How much money do we have?", asked Copen. Her father tried to calculate, but he forgot how much, all they knew was that they didn't have enough to pay taxes. The airport speaker ringed and a lady's voiced started to speak, "Flight 24: Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Dallas departing in 15 minutes! Please board now." While Izumi and her family walked to the luggage area, Izumi saw Kouji, Kouichi and Amaya. "Excuse me, Mom. Could I please see my friends? They're just sitting on those benches.", Izumi asked her Mother. "Okay, just be careful", her Mom said. "I know, you've told me that a MILLION times!!!", Izumi said as she started to walk towards Kouji, Kouichi and Amaya. Once she got to them, she joyfully said "Hi!" Amaya got up from her seat and put on a happy face and said "Hi, Izumi! Are you moving?" "Yeah, you?", Izumi replied. "Yeah, we're moving to L.A. Where are you going?", Amaya asked. "Me too! Cool! Well, I have to go to my folks, see you!", Izumi said. She ran towards her family, and started to argue with her sister about something. Amaya laughed. They looked just like her and Kouji! You see, Kouji and her, nuh-uh! They ain't the best pair in the WHOLE world. Kouji has not liked any girls, until now. But he hadn't admitted it yet. Amaya already has a theory and keeps bothering Kouji. Suddenly, the speaker went on, and the voice announced again, "Flight 24: Departing for Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Dalls. Departs in 5 minutes. Please board the plane." The Orimoto family rushed to the plane, as well as the Minamoto family.

They boarded the plane and waited in their seats. Lucky for them, the two families sat beside eachother. The Orimotos on the right and the Minamotos on the left. Copen had a window seat, Izumi sat beside her. Kouji and Amaya's seats were right beside Izumi and Copen's. Amaya had the window seat, so Kouji was in a lane seat... right next to Izumi. Kouichi got a seperate seat behind his brother, and the parents sat in front of the group of teens. Kouji tried not to look at Izumi, as well as Izumi tried not to look at Kouji. Amaya kept sneaking a peak to see if Kouji was blushing or sneaking glances at Izumi. Same with Copen, but she was watching Izumi. Everytime Kouji blushed or glanced at Izumi, Amaya would give a loud enough giggle that only Kouji could here, which irratated him. Copen would always give Izumi a light punch when she blushed at Kouji or glanced at him. Soon, the plane started. It took a long time to get to LA, but they arrived. It took longer than expected, since they had to stop in Hawaii to get other passengers on board. The two famalies had to wait at the airport for a special plane to arrive. It was a plane that carried the furniture, 'cause the plane that the two famalies took wasn't big enough, and so they had to call for "special" reservations. WHen the plane arrived, they had to silence everyone, and call out the family names. A voice rang, "The Orimoto family! Your furniture and what not are in lot A (this is a different kind of airport, so it has a weird way of parking). Please go to lot A immediately. The Minamoto family, your furniture and whatever else you have are in lot A as well, please go to lot A straight away!" The speaker went on with other names, but we don't need to know the other families.

The two families found lot A and got to the trucks. One man had a sign with the words "The Orimotos" on it, and another man had a sign with "The Minamotos" on it. They went to their trucks and the men explained how this would all work. The airport had paid for rental cars, so the people with moving trucks could move to their house. The Orimotos' car was a dark toned purple and the Minamotos' car was a dark-toned blue. The two families got into their cars and followed the moving trucks. It was odd that the Minamoto truck was going on the same path that the Orimoto truck was going. Soon, the two trucks stopped in a complex. And to their surprise, the families were neighbors!

It took a few days to unpack and settle into their new homes. Amaya invited herself to Izumi's house, but she was welcome anytime. Amaya was there to join up with Copen, to do some "secret" business. "Hey, Amaya!", Copen greeted. "Hiya, Copen!", Amaya replied. (They're actually saying "hi" in english now!!!) The two girls went upstairs and to Copen's room. The younger one locked the door and they had a long conversation...
