3 months after the defeat of Churbimon and since the digi-destined returned home. Everyone had returned to their homes and schools, but still kept in touch. Where we find them now is at the airport, bidding one of their friends good-bye.

"It's really hard to say good-bye guys, but I have to." Izumi looked at all the guys already missing them.

"Sorry to have to see you go Izumi. At least we still have all the good times to remember." Takuya told her with a little smile.

"Thanks Takuya." Izumi gave him a smile.

"We'll see you again right Izumi?" Tomoki looked at her.

"Of course Tomoki. You guys can't keep me away for that long." She giggled.

"And you'll write me when you get the chance right?" Junpei asked sadly.

"I promise."

"It's been good to know you for this short time Izumi." Kouchi gave her a small smile.

"I'm glad that we are friend Kouchi." Izumi then looked at the lone wolf known as Kouji who was standing a short distance away leaning on a support beam.

Izumi turned and walked to him, which got her a little odd stares from the rest of the group. When she approached Kouji didn't even acknowledge her presence.

"What? You aren't going to tell me good-bye?" She put her hands on her hips and looked at him.

He opened one eye and looked at her before closing it again.

"What is the matter with you Kouji? You've done nothing, but become a lone wolf all over again. Were your friends and the least you can do is acknowledge us and say good-bye to me."

"I don't like good-byes." He muttered.

This caught Izumi off guard. She stared at him with disbelief. She would have never guessed that he hated saying good-bye to friends.

"I.uh.sorry to come down on you Kouji." Izumi apologized and fiddled with her fingers.

"Can I talk to you alone?" He told her as he stood up straight.

"Huh? Sure." That caught her off guard again.

Izumi followed Kouji out of the sight of the others to talk to him.

"Where are they going?" Junpei questioned as he watched Kouji and Izumi leave their sight.

"Got me." Takuya scratched his head, "Guess he wanted to talk to her alone."

"Well if he does anything to her I swear i'll-"

"He won't do anything Junpei. Kouji isn't like that." Kouchi interrupted.

* * *

"So what did you want to talk about Kouji?" Izumi asked after they were a distance out of sight of the others.

"There is something I want to tell you, but I can't bring myself to say it." He confided looking at her with soft eyes, "Mostly because you are leaving and we probably won't see each other for a long time."

"I'll be coming back. It's not like i'm leaving the planet or this dimension again to never return." She joked.

"But still.."

"Can you show it in any way?"

"Yeah, but-"

"Then just do it. It's not like i'm going to bite or anything thing Kouji Minimoto." She looked him straight in the eye.

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you" He stated as he took a step towards her.

Kouji then leaned forward and lightly kissed Izumi on the lips. He pulled back blushing the color of a rose. Izumi was almost the same color.

"I.uh...that was unexpected." She said lightly and suddenly gained an interest in her shoes.

Kouji remained silent.

"Now boarding flight 128 to America. All passengers please report to gate A-5." The intercom announced.

"I got to go Kouji. I.thank you. You made me feel special when you.ah.kissed me." She looked up at him with a small smile (a lot of those. ^.^).

"I.uh." He looked at her no longer feeling guilty and reached inside of his jacket, "I want you to have this."

He pulled out what seemed to be one of his bandanas and it was wrapping something.

"It's so that you'll never forget me or the guys. It's from all of us and we want you to open it once your plane has taken off." He told her handing it to her.

"Thank you Kouji. I'll never forget any of you. I'll miss you." She told him as she took the gift. She turned to leave, but then turned around and hugged Kouji.

Kouji, who was startled by this, didn't know what to do, so he hugged her back.

"Don't want to miss your flight." He told her as she pulled away.

Izumi smiled at him, kissed him on the cheek, and then ran off to her gate.

* * *

Izumi made it to her plane on time and as Kouji wished she opened the gift on the plane. Inside of Kouji's bandana were little wooden statues of the guys (like what Takuya and Tomoki did on the second episode Duskmon was in) from Tomoki, a little glass rose from Kouchi, a bracelet that said Zephermon from Junpei, a bracelet that said Kazemon from Takuya (guessing Takuya and Junpei were in together on the bracelet thing), and two pictures in there. One of everyone one in their human spirits and a one of everyone as themselves in the second.

Izumi looked up from her gifts tears forming in her eyes.

"Izumi? What's wrong hunny?" Izumi's mom asked when she saw the tears in her daughter's eyes.

"Nothing. It's just that I have such great friends who care about me and will miss me."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

7yrs later...

Izumi stepped off her plane and rubbed her eyes. She was going to have to get used to the sudden change in time again.

'Man, I should be sleeping by now, not getting off an airplane.' She thought as she pushed some of her blond hair that had fallen loose out of her blue and brown bandana behind her ear, 'I sure hope I can find these guys and them maybe I'll get my memories back.'
