Prologue:


~Takuya's P.o.V.~ It's been 3 long years since the defeat of Lucemon and our farewell to the Digital World. Naturally, things in life went back to normal. with a few changes of course. Izumi finally became accepted as a regular girl of Japan (although she's not *wink wink*); Junpei finally became appreciated and his friends discovered his magic tricks weren't that bad after all; Tomoki, now in America, was not picked on anymore, and also followed my lead, becoming the star of his soccer team; Kouji and Kouichi? Well Kouji finally met his birth mom, and although the twins were unable to continue their brothership, they promised to keep in contact.


And me you ask? Well, life's still pretty boring and today happens to be Shinya's birthday. Funny thing is, I practically forgot about the Digital World until now. but I have a feeling, something might just happen today..


~Izumi's P.o.V.~ It's been 3 long years. Life has pretty much settled and I've finally become accepted among my friends. Takuya, Junpei, Kouji and Kouchi all go to the same school as me now and we pretty much hang out with each other like we did in the Digital World. Junpei still has that absurd crush on me, so I virtually ignore him and pound him with a handy mallet when he embarrasses me *grin*. But he's still a good guy in my account.


~Kouji's P.o.V.~ It's been 3 long years. Takuya, Izumi, Junpei and my brother and I all go to the same high school. Takuya, Izumi and Junpei are making new friends each day -- although I can't really see why anyone's interested in the fatty's lame magic tricks --but I prefer to keep my distance. especially from those girls who stalk me every time they see me. I met my birth mom and I visit every few days or so. I still haven't told my father about Kouichi and my birth mom but I probably will someday.


~Kouichi's P.o.V.~ It's been 3 long years. Kouji and I now keep in contact very often. Tomoki isn't living in Japan anymore, but we still have each other's address and keep in touch. I've heard he has made lots of friends and even became a member of his school's team! Junpei still has that insane crush on Izumi but I don't think Izumi really likes him back. unless that huge mallet she carries around so often is a sign of their love.

Chapter One - A Disturbed Heart


~Takuya's P.o.V~


"BRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!"


I groaned and fell out onto my head. Today was the beginning of his school year and I didn't want to be late. Hastily, I chose brown pants, an orange shirt, and a red pull-over to wear and of course, brown gloves, a hat and the traditional goggles.


"I'm going mom!" I yelled, grabbing his backpack and dashing out the door. Yawning, I accidentally knocked over a blonde haired girl wearing a blue- and-white striped T-shirt, a purple toque, vest and skirt, also known as Izumi.


"YOU GOGGLEHEAD!" She hollered. I blushed and helped her pick up her stuff.


"Sorry Izumi," I replied, "Let's hurry. I don't want to keep the others waiting." She nodded but glared at me, as if warning me not to do that ever again. Izumi and I live in the same apartment and constantly argue against each other. But don't get us wrong, we're still real good friends. I guess I still wasn't fully awake yet. We quickly trudged all the way to school to meet the others.


~Izumi's P.o.V.~


'Boy, its great to see Takuya again,' I thought, as we trudged silently towards school. Uncomfortable with the silence, I pushed Takuya into a pile of leaves nearby as he yawned again.


"Hey! What you do that for?" he growled, brushing himself off.


"For being a gogglehead," I laughed. 'At least he's awake now,' I thought, dodging his angry attempt to push me over.


"Hey Takuya, hey Izumi!" I looked over and saw Junpei, Kouji, and Kouichi waiting for us at the school gate.


"Hey!" we chorused, still glaring at each other.


"IZUMI! DID YOU MISS ME?!?!?!" Junpei hollered and ran as fast as he could in my direction. I drew out my handy mallet and prepared to give him a deadly blow. But before the fatso in the blue and yellow suit reached me, he tripped and fell on top of Takuya.


"GET OFF ME JUNPEI!!" Takuya yelled as I watched Junpei believe Takuya was me.


"My sweet Izumi," he smiled as he smothered Takuya. I took this opportunity to join Kouji and Kouichi who were watching in amusement.


Kouichi and Kouji were twins. Both of them had midnight blue eyes, and hair, which I found very charming. Kouji's the one with longer hair, and a blue, orange-brown tiger-striped bandana, a blue jacket with yellow strips down the arm and gray pants. Kouichi wore a maroon shirt with a green pull- over and white pants.


"Nice to see you again, Izumi" Kouichi greeted me. Kouji simply nodded at me.


"Glad to see you two too" I exclaimed and I grabbed them and dashed off as Junpei opened his eyes to see a shocked Takuya.


~Kouji's P.o.V.~


I found myself getting pulled into the school by Izumi. who'd thought that that girl had that kind of strength. I freed my arm from her grip as did my brother.


"What classes do you have today?" Izumi asked Kouichi.


"Business, Science, P.E., and Math," Kouichi answered, checking his timetable.


"And you?" Izumi turned her gaze to me.


I merely stared at her for a moment before replying, "Business, English, P.E., and Socials."


"Great!" Izumi beamed. "I have History, English, P.E. and Math today.that means I will see you each twice today!" She turned to Takuya and Junpei who had arrived and heard the last sentence that Izumi said.


"YAY!" Junpei rejoiced. "That means I will have P.E. with you!"


Takuya groaned. "Darn it. I'm in that class too." Izumi glared at him. "I didn't mean you! I just meant." Takuya's eyes traveled in Junpei's direction. ".never mind."


Suddenly I was on the floor.


"KOUJI MINAMOTO!!"


I groaned. The make-up freaks had arrived. I slipped out of their grasp and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kouichi buried underneath another group of girls. I helped him out and we both ran down the halls into the class.


~Kouichi's P.o.V.~


Before I knew it, I was suffocating underneath a group of girls! Luckily, Kouji helped me out and we both headed towards our class.


The teacher, a man in his 40's with a toothbrush mustache, stared at us as we slammed the door behind us, panting slightly.


"Minamoto, Kimura, class does not start until 15 minutes later," he informed us. His eyes traveled briefly to the door, which was trembling under the pounding weight of 20 fists.


"On second thought, it would be nice to have company for the first 15 minutes before school," he told us. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Kouji and I disappeared under the table. I counted the gum plastered under it, listening to the breathless girls' disappointing whines.


"Darn, they got away this time," one of them, who was my fan in particular growled. She had pink hair, highlighted with a lighter shade of pink in pigtails. She also wore a short, pink mini-skirt, and a pink spaghetti strap tank top. Her name: Camara. She smiled innocently at the Mr. MacDonald who stared at them with an arched brow. "If you happen to meet Kouji or Kouichi, please tell them we'll be meeting for lunch in the cafeteria," another said sweetly. She was wearing a yellow bandana, a very short, yellow tube top, and gray short shorts. Theresa.


After they stamped off, Kouji and I emerged cautiously from the gum decorated desk. Mr. Macdonald grinned at us. "Some lovely girls were here a few seconds ago. I would like to remind you that it is against the rules to eat anywhere else other than the cafeteria if you're not going home for lunch." With that, he went back to preparing the day's classes.


~Izumi's P.o.V.~


After watching that shocking group of girls try to capture the brothers, Takuya, Junpei, and I went to our classes. I chose a seat farthest away from the History teacher, Mr. Burgerking. There were a five other students already unpacking their stuff onto the desks. I noticed there was only one girl among the five. She had her light, chocolate colored hair tied into pigtails. She wore a jacket over a black tank-top and a pair of capris under a half-skirt. I then studied the guys in the class. Tubby. Short. Braggart. And one with 3-inch-thick glasses.


I yawned, this is going to be a looong hour.


* Lunchtime *


~Kouji's P.o.V.~


Kouichi and I stood at the doorway of the cafeteria, both patiently waiting for the other to enter first.


Kouichi smiled. "After you bro," he offered politely. I shook my head and gestured him to go first; however, he pushed me through the doorway. Shocked, I felt myself being smothered by what felt like a million pounds. From the corner of my eye, I watched Kouichi wink at me, and head off to buy our lunches.


"Get off me NOW!" I demanded. The girls looked hurt and pouted, but I just ignored them. I headed over to where Kouichi was and my lunch. He grinned at me. I glared at him, but sighed.


"Sorry bro, but one of us had to," he smirked. I sat across from him and stared down at my lunch. It was...colorful. There were reds, greens, yellows, and even purple, which I suspect to be eggplant. I think Kouichi chose it for me because of my gloomy mood. We both stared at our lunches, unsure of the ingredients. Kouichi's was less colorful, but did not seem anymore safer than mine. Suddenly, Kouichi gave me a suppressed look.


"What's wrong?" I asked.


"KOUJI MINAMOTO!" someone screamed behind me. I jumped and glared, only to find Izumi grinning at me.


"What did you do that for?" I asked her, still glaring, while Kouichi was laughing in the background.


"Sorry," she grinned, "I just had to try that out on someone!" She chose a seat beside me.


"Where are Takuya and Junpei?" Kouichi asked politely, after recovering from his laughter.


"Oh, they're still at the food stand," Izumi replied. "Junpei is complaining that they did not give him enough and I'll bet Takuya is trying to drag him away."


~Takuya's P.o.V.~


"Junpei, please, lets leave. Izumi, Kouji and Kouichi have probably been waiting for the last 20 minutes," I groaned as a tried my best to drag him away from the concession stand.


"But this isn't enough. This is what I call a snack," he complained. "Takuya, let go of me!"


"No," I told him, "not unless you promise to stop lining up." Junpei sighed, and sulked, but followed me towards the others.


~Junpei's P.o.V.~


After I chowed down the mountain of food that was piled on top of my tray, I stared enviously at Kouji and Kouichi's untouched trays. "Are you guys planning to eat those?" I asked, hungrily.


The two sweatdropped and shook their heads. I grabbed their trays and began to wolf down most of their food.


"mmMMmm" I rubbed my stomach, happily, but still I wasn't content.


~Izumi's P.o.V.~


I caught the stupid fatso staring at my bag of ketchup chips and sighed. 'Next, he's going to ask me if he could have it' I thought. He did just that. I just gave it to him.


"IZUMI!! I KNEW YOU LOVED ME!! YOU HAVE ENDED MY SUFFERING.I AM NOW GORGED AND I HAVE ALSO CAPTURED YOUR HEART!" Junpei cried with hearts in his eyes.


~Kouichi's P.o.V~


"Let me get this straight." I said, "both Kouji and my helpings weren't enough to fill you, and Izumi's small bag of chips did?" Junpei nodded pompously. The rest of us sweatdropped.


"Anything my Izumi gives me will keep me full and content," he said proudly. WHAM! A huge mallet hit Junpei hard on the head.


"First of all, I'm not YOURS," she retorted, "and secondly, I did not give it to you willingly, I just felt sorry for you." Junpei sniveled and ran to the boys washroom crying. A minute later, he ran back.


"I see now, that was a test," Junpei commented, "to see if I would believe you were angry at me. Of course, I knew better. I know that you would never dump me and would never be angry at me at all costs."


WHAM! I watched as Izumi swung the mallet even harder, knocking Junpei out cold. Hastily, we shoved him under the cafeteria table as a supervisor approached looking at us suspiciously.


"I asked my friends to finish my lunch but they didn't want to," I told him innocently. "But I think I can finish it on my own." I picked up my untouched, clean spoon and scooped a mouthful and shoved it into my mouth. The taste was so grotesque I almost vomited. I ran towards the washroom without a word.


~Takuya P.o.V~


I watched as Kouichi ran out the cafeteria doors. 'The food couldn't be that bad,' I thought.


"What are you kids hiding under the table?" the supervisor asked. Slowly, he bent down and.


"Wow! My brother must've been really impressed by today's cafeteria to run off and.uh.to find his other friends and ask them to try it!" Kouji remarked. With that, he also shoved a mouthful of the dish into his mouth, though he was careful not to swallow it. Like Kouichi, he also ran out the doors.


That was our cue. Seeing that the supervisor was distracted, we all ran off and left Junpei under the table.


The supervisor just scratched his head and muttered "Kids these days." Luckily, the supervisor forgot about Junpei underneath the table.


* Gym Period (P.E.) *


~Izumi's P.o.V.~


I changed into a comfortable, purple shorts and a white T-shirt for gym. I quickly entered the gym and saw Junpei wearing baggy jeans and a purple sweater with the words 'I LOVE IZUMI' knitted on it in baby pink.


"I suppose that is your definition of gymstrip" Mr. Kentucky, the gym teacher asked.


Junpei grinned and replied, "Yup! Made it myself."


I groaned and noticed Kouichi in a corner. He had his brows furrowed and seemed to have something on his mind. I walked over to him.


I tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Hey Kouichi, you seem to have a lot on your mind." Kouichi just looked away.


"You wanna tell me what it is?" I asked concerned.


Kouichi looked at her, hesitated and replied, "It's nothing."
