Hey! So it's Mikiyagami again!

I'm a lame author i know. i barely check fanfiction, and i haven't continued the fics i've been writing hehehe please forgive me. This is another fic of Digimon Xros Wars, and as usual, Yuu is the main character.

For the sake of the story, i'm not going to tell you any hint for the continuation. i doubt someone would even want to know the continuation tho ಥ_ಥ. and it's a modern set where there were no digimons. the novels or any name mentioned besides the original characters are all made up.

but it's okay! the idea of this fanfic popped out while i was at school, and i felt the urge to write the ideas. so here it is, the boundary! This story might contain some ships you dislike, i hope you would respect my opinions, Thanks!

the characters might be OOC, some might be OC. i'm trying my best to keep it natural c: . oh and this story is not a romance genre, yet. it might contain some romance, but mostly it's just the life of Yuu Amano, and i wanted the reader to wonder how the story will develop. I hope you enjoy my story!

DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON.


The Boundary

New Semester.

"If you were to face two choice, you have to neglect one. The only rule is, to never regret the choice you've made"

I said in my mind while walking on my way to school. It's the novel that i read from like 5 years ago, "Bitter Sweet of Life" ー Jason Brook. Living life with that quote turned me into a considerate guy. As the result, people would find it hard to approach me. I wasn't even bothered being alone anyway. On the contrary, it's actually relaxing not to hear people's buzzes everytime-and-everywhere you go. Reading some meaningful novels sounds better than a party. It wasn't like i wasn't invited, more like i rejected all the invites. Even though i'm considered as a serious-type-lone-wolf, i'm also nominated as one of the 10 boys that worth the fangirls. Not that i care about it much. The fangirls were usually annoying, i would frown all day just to get away from them. Gladly they didn't cling to me all day.

"Amano Yuu!"

Hearing that familiar voice, I chose to walk faster and stay focused to my old novel. I did say the fangirls didn't cling to me all day, but this one is an exception.

"Hey! I called your name! More like shouted actually." The blonde girl with two pigtails above her head grabbed my collar and stopped me. I nearly drop my book. I know she's not bad when it comes to running, especially when she's chasing me, but I never thought she could be this fast. I quickly release her grab and turned to look to her. I was about to yell to her for being so noisy in the early morning, but my mind went to the red tote bag that she was holding on her right hand. If i'm not wrong, it is my tote bag, the bag that i always use to bring my lunch.

"Yuu! For God's sake, you forgot to bring your lunch! Auntie asked me to bring it for you. And why did you left me? I thought i told you i wanted to go to school with you." she complained, with her eyebrows frowned. And then she handed the red bag to me.

Yeah, this girl is an exception. She's not actually one of the fangirls that comes to me, to the point, she's not my fangirl. She's my super clingy childhood friend, Suzaki Airu. I've been having this close bond since we were first graders. That's 7 years to you.

"W-well.. I was too caught up with my novel." I said while turning away and start walking again. "And i thought you know i dislike clingy people." I blurted. Just three seconds later, i noticed that she's not walking behind me. She stopped. She grabbed her sailor uniform tightly while looking like she's about to cry. I muffled a laugh. "Just Kidding, I'm sorry. And Thankyou." .

She then looked up and i feel like my words just brighten her face and mood. "Now let's go, you don't want to be late, do you?". She just nodded, and then skipped next to me. "Baka." said her. It's mostly like this every morning. No hard feelings, just a lame joke of mine. Sometimes she could be emotional too. I felt guilty though.

As we arrived at school, we headed to our classrooms. She's from 8-B, while i'm from 8-C. Just for info, it's our first day attending school as eight grader students. Just before i parted with Airu in front of my class', the door was opened by the one and only student to open the door that way, my fearle-stupid friend, Akashi Tagiru.

"Morning Yuu!" shouted the brunette as he noticed me, he then looked to airu and smirked. "Ah, with Suzaki again? Why aren't you two getting together already!?" said him while laughing and poking my stomach with his elbow. I quickly paid him an annoyed look. Just before Airu moved her palm to slap Tagiru, a small and firm, but strong hand slapped the back of Tagiru. It was hard enough to make Tagiru lose his balance.

"Stop it, Tagiru-kun! Aren't you getting tired of being slapped by teasing them everyday?" Said the redhead, putting her hands on her waist.

She's the class' president, Hinomoto Akari. She's an independent and brave woman, she's capable of almost everything, never wanted to know why and how. But it is the truth to say that i admire her. I feel like looking at an adult whenever i saw her. I mean, it's hard to find that kind of woman nowadays, and i'm glad she's one of the very little amount of people that would approach me. "Don't mind him, Airu, Yuu! He's got to be a jerk sometimes." Akari. "All the time." added Airu. I then parted with Airu, waving my hand towards her. She gestured the same, and added some gestures that were telling me to have lunch together. I just replied with an "ok."

As i walked in the class, i walked to the seat on the back rowーmy favorite seatーquitely, ignoring the fangirl eyes, some fake sweet morning greetings, and some nasty eyes. Having a fangirl means you have people that dislikes you. Especially your fangirls' boyfriends. It's not my fault though, i wasn't asking for these fangirls. As I put my Yellow backpack off and hang my tote bag on the side of my table, Tagiru and Akari walked together approaching me.

"See? They were even giving codes. How couldn't she become his girlfriend? But, girl friend?" asked Tagiru to Akari, emphasizing the space between girl and friend. I just sighed while leaning to my seat. Does he really have to talk about this everyday, every morning, everytime?

"Tagiru kun, there's a boundary between childhood friend and a couple." Akari said.

"What is this boundary? I don't get it?" Tagiru asked with his idiotic face and gesture.

"Oh, i can't really explain. But for example, if you were to cross the boundary, there's nothing that can guarantee you could go back to the moments before." Said Akari while looking down to her skirt. I twitched. Did she just quote the Novel "Under the boundaries" ? I don't really understand the boundary she mentioned before either, but from her answer, it feels like she experienced this kind of childhood-friend-zoned issue for herself before. Or she might be experiencing it right now.

"Still don't get it." Tagiru said after thinking for a lifetime.

I sighed again. I wanted to ask her "ah.." i stupidly opened my mouth, causing them both looking at me.

"What is it, Yuu-kun?" Akari asked, looking a little relieved. I guess my high-pitched-girly-like-voice just broke the ice.

"Uh.. I.." I said. They looked just as confused as i was, thinking of what to say. "If it's for me, I.. I'd rather go gay.." with a God-speed-impulse, Tagiru laughed out loud.

"HA! SERIOUSLY? DAMN YOU YUU. HAHAHAHHA" said him while bursting with tears. Akari just laughed a little while shaking her head. "Words could be wishes you know." said her with a small smile.

"I'm serious. ... Not quite, but, really. Dating your childhood friend feels like kissing your own sister." I said while resting my face. Akari gave me the 'I disagree' look, while Tagiru rolls on the floor.

"Kissing your own sister, or brother, in my case, is still better than kissing a girl, isn't it? Well okay if that's how you think. Me? It doesn't work that way." Akari shrugged while pointing her opinion. Now it's clear that she's being childhood-friend-zoned. Akari's statement stopped Tagiru from laughing, and now the situation went back to ice.

"Say, Akari. Are you dealing with a childhood-friend-zone issue?" asked Tagiru, this time with a slight concern. It's obvious he wasn't asking for a silly and stupid question, but a question that requires an answer, a clear answer.

"uh.." just as Akari wanted to answer between her nervous breath, her classmate called her. "Akari! Kudou san wanted to see you! He said it's a class president stuff!" said the classmate with a squeal. The said name made Akari's eyes widen, and quickly turned away to walk to the class' door. "I'll talk to you later! sorry!" Said Akari to the confused boys-which is me and Tagiru. Both Tagiru and I dislike cliffhanger that much.

From the slightly opened door, I could see a tall guy, with a short spiky hair, with his hands inside the pockets, wearing a pair of headset on his neck, close to his collar bone. It looks like he was the one who waited for Akari, which is, Kudou san. Who is Kudou san? No, I know that Kudou, Kudou Taiki, is like a genderbent of Akari. He's capable of everything, brave, independent, a class president, and a Basketball Club's Captain, also founder (Akari is the manager.) . The differences are, he's capable of doing men sports, he's reckless, he had a lot of fangirls, he's also nominated as the big three of boys that deserve the fangirls. The question was more like, who is he to her? Noticing my face, Tagiru quickly said

"Hey, you don't know him? He's Ku-"

"sssh! That's not what i wanted to know. Just, who is he, to Akari?" i cut him.

Tagiru remained silent. We both decided to just watch them from the slightly opened door. They looked so awkward, no. Akari looked so awkward. We then concluded together in unison "Yup. He's the guy."


The bell rang, the first day ended, just like that. We didn't study anything, just a small introduction to the new materials, which seemed pretty easy, if you ask me. I spent my holidays with family, reading novels, and preparing my second grade. Having good grades is one of very little things that i care about. None of the students went outside the class yet. Not so soon after, I realized that it's that time of the year where we were given the Club Form.

Basically, we, junior high schooler were given some variety choices of Club Activities from school. I began reading the piece of paper with a Name and Class column. Below it was a table with 9 different club activities choices. I noticed the novel club wasn't there. I always knew it wouldn't last for long. But then i focused to the only two out of nine clubs. Basketball and cooking club.

"This is the time where my life's motto is getting tested." i thought to myself.

Airu is definitely going to attend the cooking club. To be honest, i'm not just a considerate lone-wolf guy. When it comes to cooking, i'm in the same level as a chef. I always cook for my sister's and my lunches when our parents were away. My mom went back to America today, since she came to Japan for holiday, and my Father returned to France two days ago. He's an artistic enthusiast. Okay, done with my family, let's get back to the form.

"Hey! What are you going to pick this year?" A sudden high pitched annoying voice hit my ear like a spear. It took me a whole school day to notice that Tagiru has been sitting in front of me all this long. Not actually shocked, more to a little bit surprised, i glanced towards him, then back to my paper.

"It's down to two." I answered, playing with my pencil. "How about you?"

"Basketball! Again!" Tagiru confidently answered.

He's surely a dumbass idiot, but if it comes to basketball, even i have to say he's not that bad. I mean, he's pretty good. Not as good as me, but still, he's good. The only reason i considered Basketball was because it's my favorite sport, no, i love basketball. Basically i did my best in Basketball. But as i entered Junior High School, i fell in love with the library, and forget about the damn basketball things. I still play on the court near my house though. I did say i Love Basketball. Down to cooking an Basketball, which should i choose? Just as i was about to be frustrated by such little thing, Akari passed by my seat to collect my form.

"Have you decided yet?" inquired her with a smile. It seems that she forgot the 'i'll talk to you later' and talking with Kudou brighten up her gloomy mood today.

"It's down to two." i repeated the same answer. "Basketball and Cooking"

"Oh, i suggest you go with the first." she said, with a sure smile. "i mean, i heard you were good in Basketball! Our team needs more good players! And i guarantee you that we have the best captain ever!"

"uh, huh! not to mention that we can do all club activities together! Wait, what? The best captain ever?" Tagiru added.

With all the suggestion, I still questioned myself, which one should I choose? I finally checked one of the two choices, then hand the form back to the teacher by myself. I rubbed my hair. "I hope i won't regret the choice i've made." said me to myself quietly. Just as I packed my things, Airu called out my name, asked me to go home together.

And so we did. Along the way, we talked about the unimportant first-day-of-school activities. We were so caught up we didn't notice we were just few steps away from our houses. She then opened her fence, and i did the same. "Say, Yuu." She suddenly spoke.

"What did you choose?" She tilted her head

"Pardon?"

"Club activities."

"Oh.." I remained silent for a while, I then thought for some seconds, and it's obvious that she had hoped me to choose cooking club. But she once insisted me to choose basketball too. She sometimes confuses me. And then i walked to the front door, stepping on the stone patches, still looking at her, inhaled a lot.

"What about you?"

"Hey ! I asked you first!"

"Oh come on."

"Fine! Cooking club. Just like last year." said her with a rosy cheeks. She just couldn't win against me. "and you?"

i remained silent again, and then i opened my front door, closing it as i finished with my answer.

.

"I chose Basketball."
