Lives can change Forever in the blink of an Eye

Note: Koji, Kouchi, JP, Takuya and Zoe were in the 7th grade when she left. Tommy was in 5th grade. After 3 years, Koji, Kouchi, Takuya, JP, and Zoe are 10th grade. Tommy is in 8th grade.

Zoe walked towards the train that would take her to the airport and then to America. She never wanted to leave her friends or Koji. Her eyes were glued to the train's customs; if she looked back, she would never leave. Her memories were with them and in Japan. Now she was leaving them and everything she knew because of her dad's job and her stubborn parents not letting her stay with one of her friends.

She slipped on her earphones and walked out of JP, Tommy, Takuya, Kouchi and Koji lives forever. She did not even think she could come back to Japan because her parents wanted to stay in America for the rest of their lives.

On the plane, she opened her carry on and looked at the photos and Koji's bandana he had given her.

She had their friendship for over 2 years and now she was moving. First it was Italy now America. The tears were rolling down her pretty face and onto her shirt. Her mom asked if she was ok. She just nodded and looked away.

They moved to a small town in California near San Francisco. She tried writing letters to her friends but it got harder to talk about things and then they stopped writing and calling. She had to move on even if Koji was holding her back. For a time the thought of him made her want to cry.

The last letter she got from them was a happy birthday one 3 years ago. She never fit in America. She did make friends with a few girls but was not always happy. She changed a little but not really, after getting her drivers license she begged her parents to let her go back to Japan for the summer. They finally said yes as long as she stayed with her Aunt and made good grades for the rest of the year. She did make the grades and promised her Aunt she would never be a bother. She left for Japan on May 30. Her Aunt picked her up at the airport and they drove home. For the first 2 weeks, she stayed with her Aunt and helped make food and sew cloths.

Her old friends had no idea that she was in Japan or even close to where they were.

Zoe walked out of her Aunt's cottage promising to be back before 8p.m. In the bargain, she had to her milk from the store also.

She slipped her favorite CD into the cars CD player and drove into the city. Her hometown, where she made friends with the digidestions and the city where she left them. She parked next to a motorcycle, which was dark blue and black. She thought that was weird but did not say anything about it. First, stop her old school, she walked down the old halls of her junior high and looked at the lockers. Memories were powerful here, the guys she always knew use to be here. A boy about 14 or 15 ran down the hall and clobbered into her. Sorry, I am late; he got off her, and yelled, Sorry!

She nodded and fallowed him out of the school. She went back to her car. A young guy maybe about her age came out of the store across the way and headed toward the motorcycle. He was tall; he wore a blue jacket, black jeans, yellow shirt and a bandana. She thought he reminded her of Koji. She shook he head and got back into her car.

Koji walked out of the store and headed toward his motorcycle and he had a lot on his mind, his girlfriend's birthday was in a few days and he had no idea what to get her. He saw a blond haired girl with a bandana like his getting into her car. He gave her a second glance and thought Zoe. He shook his head and remembered what she had said to him 3 years back.

(Flashback) "Koji, I am never coming back that's what my parents said. If I could I would." She mumbled (End of Flashback)

Before the girl could back out Koji was in front of her. She realized she had forgotten her purse in the school and opened the car door and walked towards the school. She first stopped by the cycle and yelled to the guy, "Nice motor cycle." He gave her a weird look and looked closer at her. She wore a Bandana that he knew was the same like his and she wore blue jeans, a pink shirt and sneakers. She was walking away by then and he got off his cycle. His thoughts of his girlfriend were gone. Something about this girl reminds him of Zoe.

She was walking fast now and she got to the junior high and walked towards the lockers. He thought more seriously, he fallowed her and she turned a corner, opened one of the top lockers, and grabbed a bag.

"Hey what do you want? She asked

Koji now knew it was Zoe. "Zoe, its me remember Koji?" he said in a low voice

She almost collapsed but he caught her in time.

"Koji, it is you!" was the last thing she said.

Koji picked her up and walked toward his motorcycle. He put a helmet on her head and held her in the middle between him and the wheel of the cycle. He brought her home to his house where he lived with his dad.

"Dad, I am home!" He yelled

No one was home so he put Zoe on the couch and grabbed the phone book and called Tommy, Kouchi, Takuya, JP. They came over as fast as they could and the apartment was crowded. Zoe woke finally, to find eyes staring at her. The voices sounded so familiar.

"Zoe, your ok!" said a large muscular boy.

She shot up and looked at the guys, they were looking at her.

Who are you?" she said

"Come on Zoe, you can't just forget me!" JP bellowed

Zoe backed away from him, "who are you people?"

Takuya grabbed her arm, "Zoe it's us, Takuya, JP, Tommy, Kouchi and Koji."

She closed her eyes and the memories hit her like fastballs. "Takuya is it really you?"

He smiled and grabbed her around the waist and hugged her. Tommy smiled, JP mumbled something about not able to remember him. Kouchi grabbed her next and Koji held back, he could not believe she was here and not told them.

She looked them all up and down. Takuya had really grown and wore long gray pants, the same type red shirt, and the same goggles too. JP on the other hand had really buffed up and wore jeans and a sleeveless shirt. Tommy had really grown too, not the little kid she remembered either. Kouchi looked like his brother but had short hair and smiled more. Koji was holding back not getting near her.

After the get tougher, Kouchi said, "I got to scram before mom gets mad that I took the car!"

Takuya left next explaining that he would be over in the morning. Tommy and JP left also at the same time so Tommy could get a ride with JP.

Koji nodded and walked his friends out the door and then looked at Zoe. She was sitting on the windowsill with a smile on her face. He came over to her side and finally talked to her.

"Zoe, you can stay here tonight if you want!" he said in a small voice and looking at the floor.

She got up from the sill and grabbed his arm, not hard but sweetly.

"Thank you so much for doing all of this! I will stay if it is ok! I just need to call my Aunt!" she said still smiling.

Koji got the cot ready for her and he saw her talking into her cell phone.

(Zoe talking to her Aunt)

"I am going to stay the night with a friend!" she mumbled Her Aunt yelled into the phone, "You get home now! You are going to go to sleep here and in the morning your going to pack for America! Do you understand! It was on my terms and you broke them! In the evening, you will board a plane and go home! Get home now!" She mumbled, " I understand Aunt, I will! Love you! Bye!" (End of the phone call)

She slipped the phone back into her bag and sat on the windowsill looking at the stars. Her eyes were blurring and she cried softly.

Koji grabbed her arm and asked her what was wrong?

She looks up at him, I leave in the morning Koji! I cannot stay or she well I don't know what she will do! She grabbed him and hugged him hard.

"I really have to go!" she said between her tears. " Thank you so much for everything. You're the best!" She grabbed her bag and headed towards the door. She turned around, "Hey Koji!"

"Yea," he said.

"Get your girlfriend a necklace she would really like that!" she said. Then Zoe opened the apartment door and headed down the street. Out of his life, the second time in the last 5 years.

Koji realized that he was so stupid. She didn't have a ride home, it would probably take a good 2 hours to get home, and the Aunt would really be mad. He grabbed his jacket and helmet, went down to the garage, and grabbed his motorcycle.

Zoe was freezing, why was Japan always so cold or at least this night. Two guys came drove by her and stopped short. They got out there car," hey cutie, what are you doing out so late?"

She backed away from them and hit a tree trunk they approached closer and closer. "Come on Cutie, One Kiss and a Hug!"

"Back off! You don't even know who I am!" she yelled

A motorcycle came out of know where and stopped in fount of the guys.

"Koji" Zoe said.

Koji nodded and yelled, "Get behind me now!"

By now the two guys were angry. "We saw her first! Get back boy she is ours."

"No, Leave her alone. You have to go through me first." he yelled

Zoe grabbed the second helmet and jumped on his motorcycle. Koji backed away from the guys. "O, kid your not going anywhere neither is your pretty girlfriend."

They cornered him and grabbed a branch from know where and hit him in the stomach and then in the face. "That's for interfering o yea were taking the bike so you can't go home."

Zoe jumped back from the bike as the second guy grabbed it and but it on the car. Koji sat on the ground crouched in a ball, shacking and moaning. He was hit hard. Zoe ran to him and rapped her arms around his stomach when the two guys finally left. It was really getting cold and they both shivered the blood from Koji nose had stopped and he got up. She sat nest to a tree and shivered.

"Koji, I am really sorry. If I only didn't leave so suddenly and I should have asked for a ride." She mumbled

He nodded and walked away from her. He limped and stood next to a tree.

"Zoe, you were angry at your Aunt and well, I was shocked you were leaving so suddenly." He said.

Then Koji slipped from the tree trunk, tripped on the bank and fell into the water. He was in only knee length water and trudged though it to the other side. "I can't face her anymore!" he thought. "She doesn't even care about me so why should I be near!"

Zoe came in front of him. Still dripping from the water. "What made you think I don't care about you, you're a great friend and I would never turn my back on you ever!" she said. He looked down at her and smiled. She grabbed his hands and hugged him hard, thank you so much!

Koji blushed and they both went back to his house, no bike, only themselves. I hope you liked my first charter! I need four reviews to write more.trust me there is more. This is totally a Kouzumi! Thanks a bunch, LightHope
