It's been nine years since the digidestined had grown up and have their own children, and has been 3 years since then, that the gate to the digital world had closed. Taichi and the others of course have their own jobs, and their kids are going to high school. One older than others of course. But there are one pair of 17 year olds that are in the same class this year.

Hana Izumi is 17 years old now, and his father is one of the great investigators of the digital world. But she doesn't know that the son of Mimi Tachikawa, one of the digidestined and famous cook, was going to be in her class this year.

The day of the beginning of classes started with Hana getting ready for school.

"Dad, do you need anything before I go?."

"No, thank you Hana."

"Okay, I left you oolong tea in the fridge. See you later!."

"Good luck". Koushiro said goodbye to his daughter while she walked away. His wife was now in Okinawa for work. For now there is only Hana and Koushiro alone.

On the other side, Aoi Tachikawa was peacefully eating the delicious breakfast that his mother made for him. He also is 17, but since his father passed away when he was only 6, he is a little spoiled from his mother Mimi.

"Did you finished Aoi?" asked Mimi drinking her coffee.

"Hmm… I still want to eat more, but I'm gonna be late, so I have to go".

"Okay, good luck! And remember to pay attention!".

"Yes!". Aoi ran off of his house, barely listening to Mimi's advice for his first day.

In Hana's first class, there was new people. She is now in first of high school so what are the chances that her few friends were in the same class as her?. "I am alone. Definitely" she thought while looking through the window.

Aoi thought the same, because both of them thought they didn't know each other. It's been so many years that they forgot and barely recognize between them, even If the old digidestined keep in touch and keep talking.

In the recess Hana wondered about Aoi's last name, he said that it was his mother's last name, but he didn't said why. She was now very curious about it, so she closed her book, stand up and went to talk to him.

"Excuse me".

That made Aoi to turn around with wondrous face. "¿Yes?".

"My name is Hana Izumi. Your name is Tachikawa san ¿right?... You said that is your mother's last name, ¿why do you use your mother's and not your father's?".

"Well… you see, yes, is my mother's last name, I use it because my father passed away when I was little. So I kind of have to".

Hana cursed her curiosity for a second. "I-I am very sorry… I didn't know"

Aoi just smiled "Don't worry about it, it happened a long time ago!, besides with my mom we're totally fine".

He made Hana to smile back at him. "Okay". She took leave and back to her seat to keep reading.

Meanwhile Aoi thought that her red hair seemed familiar, and during other classes he kept staring at her without dissimulation thinking about where he had seen that hair before while Hana was not amused, she got scared a little.

"Dad! I'm home". Hana took seat to greet her father before going to take a bath, and she definitely wanted to tell him about that boy she met.

"Welcome, ¿how was your first day?". Greeted Koushiro putting his laptop aside to talk to her.

"It was good, luckily. But uhm… I met this boy, that he uses his mother's last name instead of his father's".

"Really? why is that?, ah ¿can you get me a tea from the fridge?.

Hana got up to the fridge and took out a bottle of tea. "Yeah, I asked myself that too, and I regretted when I asked him". She took seat again.

"Thank you… so, ¿what is his name?".

"Aoi Tachikawa".

Koushiro spat and choked a little with his tea when he heard that surname. "Tachikawa she said?" he tought.

"Dad are you okay?!"

"Yes, don't worry… is just… I heard that last name before. How this boy looks like?".

"She is a little short, she has long red hair and dark eyes. She was also very polite".

"Oh my God!" Exclaimed Mimi with excitement. "Are you sure her last name is Izumi?".

"Yes, and she seems so familiar! I couldn't stop staring at her and thinking where I've seen her before".

"You know, Aoi, that could've scared her. You're always so distracted ¿aren't you? Didn't you listen to me when I told you to pay attention this morning?".

"Sorry mom"

"Anyway, I was going to tell you that…"

"He is the son of one of my friends, Mimi Tachikawa."

"Oooh, I see". Hana seemed surprised, If he was like this, then how is his mother like? "He scared me a little though… he kept staring at me".

Koushiro laughed a little. "Knowing Mimi san, he is just a little curious or he was distracted. Don't worry Hana".

"If you say so". The redhead got up and went to take her bath before dinner.

The next morning, heading for school, the Izumi girl has her thoughts in what her father had told her.

Flashback:

"Before the gate of the digital world had closed, he and other kids were with you playing there Hana. He probably recognized you, but he didn't know from where, so he kept staring. Anyway, don't be scared".

"So Aoi is a digidestined too? I remember my motimon… I miss him so much".

"You should talk to him If you feel alone in school".

"¿Did he had a digimon too dad?.

"Of course, I think he had a tanemon, just like Mimi san".

Hana laughed. "So cute".

End of flashback

Aoi was thinking about what her mother told him too, she cleared his doubts.

Flashback:

"Hey, Aoi, treat her well okay?. She is the daughter of a genius friend of mine, besides, she is one of the digidestined that were with you! I remember she had a motimon like Koushirou kun. Hana chan must be very smart too."

"Sure mom… If we talk again I promise to treat her well".

End of flashback

In lunch time, Aoi was ready to eat the delicious lunch Mimi prepared for him. He liked his mom's food, but sometimes it was a little strange. "It's my grandparents fault, for sure" he thought, when certain redhead appear to disturb his thoughts.

"Hello, can I sit beside you?".

"Hana chan!, sure".

"Thank you" she said and do so. "Did you found a good place to eat lunch?".

"The roof is good, I like it. I can see my house from here" The blond said as he put rice in his mouth.

"I see. I can't see mine, I have to take the train".

"You know, I talked to my mom and she cleared my doubts about you. We knew each other as kids, that's where I've seen that red hair of yours". He smiled at the girl beside him, making her widen her eyes.

She showed a soft smile "Yes, my dad told me the same. If the gate to the digital world hasn't closed, we'd know each other more."

"Aoi".

"What?".

"You still hadn't called me by my name Hana chan" he offered his hand for a hand-shake. "I'm Aoi Tachikawa, nice to meet you… again" he smiled.

She took his hand and smiled back at him. "Nice to meet you again, Aoi, my name is Hana Izumi. Please take care of me this year".

"Sure!".
