~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hikari Yagami stepped out onto the bright, sunny afternoon. The golden sun
radiated against her auburn hair and the wind blew it back, exposing her beautiful face.
She shaded her auburn eyes from the sun and looked around campus for a certain
somebody. Finally, she saw him. His blonde hair was flowing in the wind, and his bright blue eyes sparkled with love as he looked at her.
"Hey Takeru!" she greeted, as she ran up to him. He wrapped his arms around her
waist as she flew her arms around his neck and gave him the sweet kiss he had been
longing for hours. He slid his lips down from her lips and nuzzled her neck. Another
thing he wanted to do for hours.
Hikari giggled. "Takeru..." she chided softly, pulling away. "Not out here in the
open. Look, people are already staring at us." She nodded to the three girls about ten
feet away from them, who were eyeing the couple, curiously. As soon as they saw Hikari look at them, they flushed, and walked the other way.
Takeru pretended to look hurt. "You can't be nervous about PDA now can't you?
It's been six years, Hikari. Or maybe you just don't want to be seen with me anymore..." He turned away, wiping fake tears from his face, sniffling a little.
Hikari rolled her eyes and gave a little giggle. "You might be a star in basketball,
TK," she said, grinning mischievously. "But....you're not exactly a star in acting!" With
that, she jumped upon his back. Since he wasn't expecting that, they both tumbled toward the green grass, laughing like little children.
Giving him another kiss, she said, "Do you know what today is?"
Takeru smiled at her and got up from the ground. He helped her up and slid an
arm around her waist as they walked across the campus, heading for the dorms. "Six
happy years, Hikari....How could I forget?"
Takeru Takaishi and Hikari Yagami have been dating each other since they were
13-years-old. They both have liked each other since the Digital World, but as young as
they were, they were too nervous to tell each other. When they were 13, Hikari was
going out with Daisuke Motomiya, another fellow Digidestined. Things did not go well
for the both of them, but Takeru was the shoulder for Hikari to cry on. They confessed
their love for each other on the night of a school dance, and they had been inseparable
since then. Six years had passed by, and their love had grew closer than they already
were.
They walked in silence for a couple of minutes. They were both second-year students
at the University of Japan. Hikari was an English major, while Takeru was a Physical
Education major, so they didn't have many classes together. However, they were both
Psychology minors, so as often as they could, they would try to schedule themselves to be in the same class.
They walked into Itobi Hall, the dorm building that they both stayed in. Going up
the elevator seemed like eternity to them, considering they were both on the very top
floor. As they were riding up Takeru reached into his pocket and brought out a small box wrapped in pink wrapping paper with silver stars.
A smile lit of Hikari's face and her eyes were sparkling. "I guess we had the same
idea," she said, bringing out her own package from her purse. They swapped presents and quickly opened them up. Inside the box, Hikari found a beautiful necklace. The charm was in the shape of a golden heart, embedded in diamonds. It was held by a gold chain that shimmered in the elevator light.
Takeru's gift was a picture and autograph signed by Jutoshi Myonu, a famous
basketball player from Japan. He was one of Takeru's absolute favorite players. His eyes practically bulged out of their sockets when he opened up his present. "Hikari!" he
exclaimed. "This is excellent! How'd you get this??"
Hikari smiled at Takeru's enthusiasm. "I got Taichi to get it for me. He has some
surprising connections," was all she said. Taichi, her older brother, was a star soccer
player and was rapidly becoming famous in the area.
Hikari looked fondly at the necklace. "This is really beautiful, Takeru," she said,
watching it practically glow with her energy. She sighed. "Six years...."
Takeru reached for the necklace and gently locked it around her neck. Then, he
took one more look at his signed picture, and couldn't take it anymore. He let out a big
whoop and picked up Hikari, swinging her around in the elevator
Ding!
"Takeru! Hikari!"
"Miyako?" Takeru stopped in mid-twirl and put Hikari down. Miyako Inoue,
another fellow Digidestined, was standing at the entrance of the elevator as it opened up.
"Konnichiwa," Miyako greeted her friends. "You guys better get out of there
quick."
Sure enough, they've been in there for too long. The elevator started to close up.
The three friends giggling, they helped each other hold the doors open.
"Happy anniversary," Miyako said, as they walked down the hall. "Six years, huh?
I swear, I could never, ever forget how you two became a couple. It is the sweetest
thing."
Hikari and Takeru smiled at each other, remembering that Miyako was there at the
dance when the relationship happened. "We're going out tonight," said Hikari.
"Hai, for dinner," Takeru said. "I've made reservations at Crystal Tower."
Miyako whirled around to face her friends and walked backwards. "Crystal
Tower?!" she exclaimed. "Takeru! That place is so....so...."
"Expensive?" asked Hikari.
"Fancy?" suggested Takeru.
"Hai. Exactly. Where'd you get that money?"
The couple looked at each other. "We've been saving up the past six years,"
admitted Hikari.
"How much? No wait, don't say how much, I know you guys have a lot. I
mean....Crystal Tower...." Miyako looked awed.
"Well, it's nothing but the best for Hikari," replied Takeru, putting his arm around
her. She blushed and she and Miyako stopped in front of their dorm. Takeru's dorm was with Daisuke, Iori Hida, and Koushiro Izumi, which was way farther down the hall. Miyako took out the key, and the three of them went inside as Hikari told her about their plans for that night.
"So, you guys are going there separately?" Miyako inquired, skeptically, sitting
down on the couch.
"We've decided not to see each other until the dinner. Sort of like how weddings
are," explained Takeru.
"It will bring suspense and then we'll be happily surprised to see each other when
we meet at the restaurant," added Hikari.
Miyako looked thoughtful. "A little weird....But I think I get what you're saying."
They both nodded. Takeru looked at his watch. "Well, I better be going. Hikari
and I aren't going to see each other, starting at 2:00, and that's in a couple of minutes."
Hikari explained, "At 6:30, we will meet again at dinner."
Takeru looked at her and smiled. He gave her one last kiss. Before heading out
the door, he said, "Just wait....Tonight will be a night you'll never forget!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Tonight will be a night you'll never forget". Boy, was he right, fumed Hikari at
her table. It was 7:00 PM, and she had been waiting at Crystal Tower for her boyfriend
for half an hour. This really got Hikari mad. He was never late for anything. She knew
that he didn't have any basketball games that night, or any appointments. And she was
getting edgy and more angry by the moment.
She smoothed out her dress. Miyako helped her pick it out when they went
shopping. It was sleeveless and dark purple, with a V-shaped neck. The dress flowed
down her legs like a waterfall, stopping at the bottom of her knees, except for a 5 inch slit. She had a black shawl that she wore into the building, but it was now seated at the back of her chair.
For the first time in 6 years, Takeru's actually making me feel like an idiot! she
realized. He better have a good explanation for this....I'm getting so pissed off.....
Meanwhile....
I hope Hikari's not pissed off at me, thought Takeru, worriedly. He was driving
down the highway of Route 68, with his eyes averting to the car clock every minute. "It's 7:00," he said to himself. "Oh please Hikari, don't be mad. I promise I'll get there...."
There was sort of a tire trouble while going to Crystal Tower. It just seemed to
become flat in the middle of the highway. Takeru left the dorm at around 5:30, wanting to get to the restaurant early. But when the tire got flat, he had to pull over to the side of the highway. When he did, the tire instantly fell off. Then he realized that he didn't have a spare tire. He was going to call a garage on his cell phone, but when he tried to, his cell phone died right in front of him.
"Damn it," he muttered, shoving the phone back in the car. Suddenly, he
remembered when he was 8-years-old, and he and the older Digidestined needed to hitch a ride. He decided to do that, considering how pathetic it'll look. He waved his arms out to people for about 45 minutes, until one finally stopped.
"Excuse me," he said, panting, tired from jumping up and down. "But do you
have a spare tire?"
"Yes I do," replied the man in the car. "Looks like you're in a bit of trouble.
Here, I'll help you put it on your car." The man got out and opened up his truck,
revealing a brand new tire.
"Great! Arigatou! Thank you so much!" Takeru exclaimed.
It took them about 30 minutes just to get that on. Now Takeru was going to be
late for the dinner, since Crystal Tower is not exactly walking distance.
"Please don't be late, please don't be late, please don't be late," he pleaded to
himself, seeing that it was already dark outside.
His sweaty hands gripped the wheel, nervously. The last thing he wanted was an
angry Hikari. He saw the road sign for a sharp right turn. Not too sharp though, because there was a quarry at the bottom of the road. Takeru was about to make a sharp, but elegant right turn. Suddenly, a bullet shot out from the back window of his car.
"What the hell?!" he yelled. He tried to gain control of the car, but the glass that
shattered was blinding him. His car swerved and turned upside-down, banging Takeru's
head against the ceiling of the car, almost breaking his neck. Suddenly, something heavy crashed into his own vehicle, and that's all that it took to make him plunge into the quarry.
