Hi all, this is the fic that follows Family Members. Anyways, if it's the first time you've read my fics, I should say most of them are connected with each other so here is the order in which you should read them
-Like a Brother (Warning: Yaoi Hinting)
-Week at the Kamiya :
-Congratulations!
-Win-win Situation
- Family members :
- ~Hello you (1)
- ~The naming game (2)
- ~Victory Bash (3)
180° Change (this fic)
I also change that ages of the characters. (Meaning these are not the true ones) Here are their ages:
Ages and grades: (Also, next to them is their birthday. I gave them... )
I know that the ages are not the real ones, so don't tell me. And don't tell me either that they don't add up. I know. It just easier to put birthdays in because then I won't forget when to change their ages.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Time setting: In the month of March 2001, about 8 months after Family Member. (That means about a year and 7 month after the digidestened go to the digital world.)
Well that's about all I have to say. Now enjoy the fic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I HATE MRS.MERCIER!!!" Kari yelled just behind Izzy ,who was at his locker, scaring him half to death. "I hate her! I loath her! I can't believe that I hate one person that much, but I do! I hate her, I hate her, I hate her, I hate her, I hate her !!!!" Izzy looked at his frustrated friend and carefully backed away.
"Why do you hate her.... this time?" He asked.
"She gave me detention! Again! Grrrr.... I wonder how you managed to do a year with that witch." She said. Some time had passed since the birth of Izzy's little sister, and everybody had gone up a year at school. And unfortunately, Kari had got stuck with Izzy's old teacher, Mrs. Mercier. Now it's her turn to live through a year of horrors. "And you know what?" Izzy shook his head.
"I blame this all on you!" She pointed to her red-headed friend.
"Me? Why?" He asked.
"Because you asked me to baby-sit Naïsha with you, and because of that, I didn't do my stupid assignment and I got detention!"
"Excuse me, but you were the one who begged to baby-sit her with me. You said, and I quote, ' Oh please Izzy, I want to baby-sit her with you. She's just so adorable!' "
"Well you should have refused!"
"You shouldn't have offered." His response made Kari furious. "Well anyway, we should go to detention, right?" He turn around
"Yeah... Wait, We?" She questioned. He nodded. "You got detention too?" He nodded again. "What did you do?" She said, momentarily forgetting her hatred towards her insane teacher.
"I, euh... nehgt shuf su jiud." He muttered.
"What?"
"I.... " He sighed. " fell asleep in class." Kari raised both eyebrows.
"Do you get enough sleep? This is like the .... I lost count how many times that you've slept during class."
"It's the 53rd time, and I do get enough sleep, it's just my teacher is soo boring. It seems like she sucks the energy out of your body just by listening to her." He explained. " She just goes on and on about things, and well, she's boring!" He said.
"I bet you're talking about Francine Delisle." They both turned around to see their pink-loving friend, Mimi Tachikawa. (A/N: Francine Delisle, is another one of my teachers....)
"Hi Mimi." They said in chorus making her giggle.
"I just love how everybody greets me at the same time. I feel so special!" She said. "So anyway, you were talking about Francine right?" Izzy nodded. "She wears the most awful clothes ever! What was she wearing today?"
"Mimi, it's not nice to criticise people on thei--" Kari tried to say something positive, but Izzy cut her off, answering Mimi's question.
"She was wearing 'The dried up purple raisin ensemble." Mimi stuck out her tongue. (A/N: *Sweatdrop* My friends give names to the clothes she wears...That's one of them...)
"Awful. Well at least she's not wearing the leather skirt."
"Leather skirt?" He questioned.
"Oh yeah, it's really ugly. She wore it all the time last year when I was in her class. Hideous.." She shuddered at the thought. (A/N: My friends say her skirt is really ugly, but I never saw it myself. Lucky me, I don't have her for Geography..)
"Look, its not like it's not fun to talk about clothes," Kari interrupted their 'deep' conversation "but how are you Mimi? I haven't seen you in a bit. And are you going to detention, too?" Mimi shook her head.
"No, I'm not going to detention. Julie Ouellet, my teacher is much too cool to put anyone in detention. I'm just doing a little favour for her. And thank you Kari, I'm fine by the way. I'm just so busy. My parents asked me to take care of my bratty little brother. They say I'm old enough." (A/N: If you haven't guessed, Julie Ouellet is another of my teachers, and she is just soo cool! A bit hyperactive, but cool.)
"Mimi, don't say that about your brother, he can't be that bad..." Kari said.
"You've never met him. You can't say he's not a little demon. I mean, the other day, he knocked over the huge cake my mom made! And because I was watching him, I HAD TO CLEAN IT UP!" She yelled.
Izzy raised an eyebrow at her. "How old is your brother?"
"He's about 21 months old. "
"That's means about 1 year and nine months right?" The girl nodded. " You know.... I think that Naïsha is old enough to start making friends.... What do you say, want to organise a play date for our siblings?" He raised his other eyebrow at her in an inviting manner.
"A date? Oh dear, I never thought I'd see the day when Koushiro Izumi would ask me out!" She teased, but Izzy didn't know that. He tried to fix his faux pas, whatever that was, as Kari was laughing at his density. "Oh, you'll have to bring me flowers, we'll have a nice supper at a pricey restaurant that you'll pay for..." She gave an amused grin as she saw Izzy making a fool out of himself.
"Mimi, a play date! PLAY DATE!!" He tried to explain, still not knowing that Mimi was toying with him.
"Oh, you'll bring me to a play?" She giggled. Even if school was over, there were still a few people around, because of after school activities and such, and they were all bemused by the display. Soon a large crowd was listening to Izzy, who was frantically trying to rectify the situation, even if he didn't need to. Must admit, teasing Izzy like that was fun, it may also be Mimi's new favourite hobby....
"Mimi" Izzy let himself fall down on his knees. "please try to understand, a play date for your brother and my sister. Not a date between you and me...." He then muttered under his breath. "I really shouldn't' have proposed the idea."
"Yes, Izzy, I will!" Mimi cried out in fake joy.
'Will what?' He thought. 'What does she have in her mind...' "Mimi, what are you talking about?"
"Yes, I will marry you!" Izzy's eyes popped wide open.
'What, where did she get that idea!!!? "He desperately thought. 'I should ask her, but I'll make it clear for her to not get any more ideas...' "HUH?" Was what came out...
"Well," She started to answer his question, "you knelt in front of me, and you Proposed
!" After she said that she broke into a fit of laughter, as did everyone else. Then it hit him.... She was joking...He got up from his position and dusted himself, and turned to the laughing girls, Mimi and Kari, and said: "It's been yet another extraordinary pleasure to have been humiliated, but I should go to detention." He turned and headed off, and the crowd slowly dispersed, some still chuckling, others confused, and others just... left.
"Hey, Izzy wait!" Mimi called to him. He stopped and waited for her and Kari to rejoin him.
"What now..."He said in an exasperated tone.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry." She extended her hand. He looked at it and then shook it. "No hard feelings?"
"No." He shook his head and she smiled. "It was a good joke. You really got me there." He gave her a small grin. "So the play dates still on?" She nodded.
"It's a date!" She winked at him making him groan. "Well, got to go. You two have fun in detention, you hear." She waved to them and exited.
"Bye Mimi." They both said in unison making their older friend giggle.
"Well with all that stalling, I hope we won't have any problems." Kari wished as her friend nodded. "So how many times do you think you'll have to copy 'I will not fall asleep in class this time?" Izzy stopped in his tracks.
"Oh no..." His friend, seeing that he had stopped, did the same and turned to him. "I forgot to bring any paper to write on..... I'll have to go to my locker and get some. See you in the class, Ok? It won't take too long."
" 'Kay Izzy, see you there then." She called back to him as he hurried off through the hallways. Kari chuckled at her friend as she saw him trip, not quite falling, just... gliding... He regained his balance and continued his little jog till he reached his locker.
He skidded to a halt in front of it and opened it in a swift motion. He looked inside and pulled out a small pile of paper.
"That should be enough." He said. He closed his locker and turned around to head to the classroom. At the start of the school year a new policy had been implemented because there were too many kids in detention, so the teachers decided that each week, they would look after a group of kids and change once their week was done. It was much better than the old method of having the teacher who gave the detention stay after school to watch over one kid....
As Izzy walked away from his locker, something, or rather someone ran into him and plowed him into the wall. Izzy slumped down to the ground and raised his eyes to the person it only to see a boy with semi-long black hair and equally black eyes glaring down at him. Izzy collected his thoughts and recognised who the person was. Ruhiro, the meanest bully ever. The one who was feared by almost everyone. But not because he was extremely strong or anything, in fact he was lacking a few muscles and was only an inch over Izzy. The reason he was feared was because of his anger. His uncontrollable anger. You really didn't want to get on this guys bad side, and it seemed as if Izzy was on his bad side, but why?
Izzy was about to ask that question, when Ruhiro grabbed hold of his shirt, pulled him off his feet and slammed him onto the wall.
"Mimi is mine!" The bully said.
"Wha--" He was cut off by a sharp punch in the stomach.
"Don't play innocent with me geek!"
He could only reply with a strangled retch, the punch had winded him and he fought to regain his breath as stars danced before his eyes.
'What in the world is he talking about?' Raced through his mind
"I saw the whole thing!" He said. "I heard the whole thing! Mimi is mine!" He was referring to the little joke Mimi played on Izzy. He must have not realised it, but why was he talking as if Mimi was his? That made no sense. Maybe Ruhiro really thought it to be true, but Izzy knew for sure it was not true. He would have to tell him, but how do you tell someone that has you pinned up against a wall and is being drivin by primordial instinct?
"Ruhiro" Izzy choked out, "I think there was a misunderstanding..."
"Sure was!" He hit Izzy again "I didn't tell you could talk!" Izzy crumpled to the floor again, but Ruhiro viciously pulled him up. Man, this guy has a big jealousy problem. He was being defensive over a girl who probably didn't even know him. He was a prime candidate to be a stalker in later life.
"Ruhiro..."
"Shut up!" He yelled in Izzy's face
"Mimi is...." Ruhiro released his grip on him then took hold of his shirt and using his whole body, drove him into the wall so hard the surrounding lockers rattled. The holder of the crest of knowledge winced in pain.
"SHUT UP!"
"not yours..." Izzy croaked out, fighting against the blackness which was clouding his field of vision. He struggled for breath and tried to continue. "She doesn't even know you...." And he knew that for a fact. He knew because of Mimi's constant talk on certain subjects, at times people thought she was flirting with them when in fact that was never her intention.
"I told you to shut up!" He punched Izzy in the stomach again. "What part of it don't you understand?!" He clubbed him round the side of the face with his fist.
"Bu.."
"Do I have to manually shut you up?!" He drew his arm back, and slammed it straight into Izzy's face, shattering his nose and splattering blood on the surrounding walls. This was too much for Izzy, and as Ruhiro's face swam in front of him and his vision clouded again, he began to fall to the floor.
"Don't you think of falling asleep on me!" Ruhiro said, and dragged him up again. Blood was pouring out of Izzy's mangled nose and he felt horribly nauseous, as the world before him faded to black. "I'm not done with you yet." Ruhiro said smiling. He narrowed his eyes into the glazed and barely open ones of Izzy. "I want to be sure that you understand that Mimi is mine, maybe not now, but someday, and I don't want any freaks around her!" He threw his fist squarely into Izzy's jaw, splitting his lip and slamming the back of his head into the concrete block wall. The impact was so great he immediately loss consciousness. Ruhiro let go of the boys shirt, seeing that he had accomplished what he wanted. Izzy slumped to the floor, striking his head on the hard surface as he fell, and lay there bloody and bruised. The black haired boy smiled coldly at the motionless form, and then as a final number kicked him squarely in the ribs. A sharp crack echoed throughout the hallway.
"Ohh.... Did I just break a bone?" Ruhiro mocked, giving a snort of content. He felt someone poking his shoulder, and turned to see who it was and met the fist of a very angry Kari.
"I think you did!" She said. Ruhiro stumbled back, holding his bleeding nose. She had received the teachers permission to go and see why it was talking Izzy so much time to arrive, and what she saw horrified her so she let her anger take control.
"Why you little bitch!"
"What are you going to do? Punch me like you did my friend?" She replied. "I'm warning you, I play some soccer and I know I can kick!" She threatened. (A/N: ^_^;;; Sorry, I saw that episode today...)
"Sorry I don't fight girls. You can put your fists down." He announced. Yeah right! Like as if he mysteriously developed a moral conscious, after beating up a guy that hates violence for a girl that he says he owns, just to turn around and say he doesn't fight girls. Luckily Kari wasn't duped by that and kept her distance from him. And by another stroke of luck she saw Mr. Fugisawa, the janitor, mopping the floor at the end of the hallway. If she could get his attention, he might be able to restrain the mad boy and call an ambulance for Izzy. Surely, Ruhiro wouldn't be foolish enough to fight that large man.
"I'm not going to believe you, AFTER YOU SAVAGELY ATTACKED MY FRIEND!" She yelled at him.
"Why are you yelling?" Ruhiro demanded, not knowing that Mr.Fugisawa had heard Kari and was approaching them behind his back. " Do I have to hurt you?"
"I don't think you will..." A strong hand gripped his shoulder. Ruhiro raised his eyes to the janitors angry face and tried to free himself from the strong grip, but it was useless.
"Let go of me!"
"No." Came the reply. Mr.Fugisawa reached into one of his pockers, withdrew a cellphone and tossed it to Kari. "Here little missy." Kari caught it. "Call an ambulance for your friend. I'll keep hold of this little bastard." He said as Rushiro struggled in his grip trying to get away. He even tried biting him. Kari called the for the ambulance, and had to force herself not to cry and she looked down at her friends mutilated form crumpled against the wall with a pool of blood staining his shirt. She completed the call and was relieved when the operator said an ambulance would be there in a few minutes.
