Chapter 1

Izumi's POV

Our little group was walking along a small, dirt path in the depths of a large forest. It was approximately noon, the sun was up and it was burning into our backs. Takuya and Kouichi were walking in the front, while Kouji and I dragged behind, leaving Tomoki, Junpei, Bokomon, Neemon and Patamon somewhere caught in the middle. We had quiet occasional conversations among ourselves, but stayed had stayed rather quiet due to the heat.

After a little ways of walking, Takuya inched towards Kouichi and whispered something to the dark haired boy, causing him to burst out laughing.

'What was so funny?' I thought, staring at Takuya suspiciously. He didn't seem to notice. At the sound of a soft grunt, I looked to my left to see a rather annoyed Kouji. His right eye was twitching uncontrollably. I sighed. He must've heard what Takuya said. I smiled, suddenly feeling glad to have friends like them. They always kept everyone in a happy mood.

Looking towards Kouji again, I saw him raise a brow at one of Kouichi's remarks and I couldn't help but giggle. He looked so cute. I blushed at my own comment but continued to giggle anyway. This time, I saw Kouji turn towards me with his brow still raised, but in a questioning manner. I blushed a darker shade of red and tried to hold back my giggles but failed miserably. He gave me a look that clearly asked if I had gone insane. At this, I couldn't stop myself from bursting into a huge giggle fit.

Kouji's POV

My right eye twitched as I saw my brother burst out laughing at what Takuya said. What did they think I was? Invisible? Or deaf? Those idiots… and to say one is my best friend and the other, my long lost twin… they're both helpless. My eye stopped twitching and I raised a brow as I heard Kouichi's reply to Takuya. After a moment of staring, I decided to shrug it off. That was when I heard a giggle to my right side.

Looking over, I saw Izumi staring at me and giggling uncontrollably. This time I raised a brow at Izumi, and gave her a questioning look. Facial expressions were so much easier than words. She gave me another look, and then this time, burst out laughing at me. Wait… why was she laughing at me?

Glaring at her, I refrained myself from screaming 'what is wrong with everyone today?' My eye twitched once again. That's it. I stopped walking, deciding to ask Izumi what she was laughing about.

Izumi's POV

"What's so funny?" asked Kouji me in a half pissed tone.

"Nothing." I replied smiling.

"You're the worst liar I've ever met." Replied Kouji as he raised his brow once again. I giggled.

"Fine. So I suck at lying. I was just giggling at you! Do you have any idea how cute you look when you raise your brow? You should seriously get it patented!" I replied, blushing madly at my own boldness, but still smiling like an idiot nonetheless.

Kouji turned a deep shade of red and turned away. We were silent for a while. Both were still rather embarrassed from our previous conversation. About 5 minutes later, I finally gathered up enough courage to start another conversation.

'Just don't say anything stupid' I thought to myself.

"Hey Kouji? What do you think of Kazemon?"

'OH GOD! GREAT QUESTION!' I mentally screamed at myself.

"Um…" replied Kouji, turning red once again. "She's very- Izumi watch out!" he suddenly cried as I felt myself being pushed to the ground. I saw something dangerously sharp fly overhead. If I hadn't been pushed down, that would have left one nasty wound. I opened my eyes to find out whom it was that had saved me, only to come face to face with none other than Kouji Minamoto. Staring into each other's eyes, we both blushed a dark red as Kouji jumped off me. He was about to apologize when he jumped on me once more, the sharp weapon flying inches over his head. What the heck was going on? Looking at Kouji again, he gave me a look that said 'let's go'. I nodded and got up after him and pulled out our digivices. He gave everyone else another look, and everyone quickly nodded in acknowledgement, digivolving quickly before standing in preparation for the next attack.

But none came. Deciding to split up in groups of two's to find out who it was that had attacked us, we told Bokomon, Neemon and Patamon to stay hidden in that area where we would go back to find them. Takuya teamed up with Kouichi, Junpei with Tomoki and Kouji with me.

We walked through the forest as quietly as we could in our human spirit forms. After a few minutes of walking, I heard a twig snap behind us, and Lobomon almost immediately whirled around to face it. Standing back to back, we prepared ourselves for the enemy. A few more sounds were heard as our unknown enemy moved quickly behind the trees. I saw a black shape fly rapidly towards Lobomon's side, but Lobomon didn't seem to notice. Acting on reflex, I quickly threw myself in front of Lobomon in an attempt to block whatever it was that was flying at him. There was a sharp pain to my stomach as I fell to the floor. My head hit something, and then nothing but black…

Please review people! onegai! I came up with this story in the middle of French class... isn't that weird? --;
