Authors Notes: I am writing this fic about Koushiro and a friend that helps him when he's down. I'm dedicating this to my friend. She likes Koushiro, he's her faviorite character. Taichi & Yamato are 17 and Koushiro & Sarah are 16.
Falling Down
Koushiro was walking home from school one stormy day. He was getting his uniform all wet because he didn't think he needed his jacket this morning. He wasn't watching where he was going so he steped in a puddle and sliped. After a few microseconds he was flat on his back. He stayed down in the mud because, he reasoned, he wasn't going to get any dirter. He let out a long sigh. All of a sudden Sarah came up behind Koushiro and looked over him.
"Oi `Shiro."
Koushrio looked up at Sarah's figure loomming over him. She was blocking some of the rain that was being dumped upon anyone unlikey enough to be caught in this shower. Sarah had a wide grin plastered across her face. Koushiro smirked a little despite the weather and his current condition.
"Oi Sarah. What's up?"
Sarah offered out a hand to the muddy boy.
"Me," she laughed. "And you're down. So take my hand and I'll help you up."
Koushiro took one look at Sarah's sinester smile and raised his eyebrows.
'Yea like she thinks I'm that stupid to fall for that old joke.' Koushiro thought to himself.
He had a plan that would make Sarah take a little bath, mud bath that is. Since Koushiro was already full of it he didn't mind being covered in mud once again, for the sake of their friendship.
So, Koushiro put on his best inocent face and took Sarah's hand. Sarah started halling him up out of the mud. Suddenly Koushiro yanked on Sarah's arm and pulled her down in the mud almost on top of him. Koushiro laughed.
"`Shiro dude what in the hell was that for?!" Sarah roared.
Sarah had mud covering her from head to toe and it was dripping off of her hair. Koushiro just couldn't stop laughing.
"Man, ha ha, gomen-nesai Sarah, ha ha, that was just too funny!"
As Koushrio dubbled over in laughter, the rain stoped and Sarah started to laugh too.
After they had their laugh they both got up and started walking for Sarah's house because it was closer.
On the way there they were talking about nothing in particual when the subject of love came up.
"So little dude-" Sarah began.
"I'm not that short anymore." Koushiro cut in.
"-Yeah whatever. So as I was saying, who do you have a crush on? Or are you incapible of falling in love?" Sarah teased.
Koushiro turned bright red. He couldn't tell Sarah who he liked. Even though she was his best friend. He didn't want to really talk about it so he muttered something incorihensiable and took off towards his own apartment.
Sarah stared after him wondering what was up with him. But she didn't really understand so she just shrugged her shoulders and started walking again. She whistled while she walked and people started staring at her.
'Man it's like they've never seen a girl drenched in mud and water before.'
When Koushiro got home his mother took a fit. Finally she told him to get out of his dirty clothes and into the shower. He did just that. After he was all clean he went to his room. He kept the wet towel around his waist and laied down on his back on his bed.
'I shouldn't have run away from Sarah. She only asked me a question. I am such a baka! But then again how could I tell her that I liked her. Well, I could of lied I sopose but that probley wouldn't be the best habit to get into. Lying to your best friend huh. I should of just told her that I loved her and got it over with. Man maybe if I did, she would tell me that she loved me too! Or maybe she'd just scream at me and tell me I was gross and sick and then she'd never be my friend again. Oh god I know that I'll never know unless she tells me. And for that to happen I have to tell her that I love her. God all this is so god damm frustrating!'
Koushiro turned over on his side facing the wall. The phone suddenly rang. He could hear his mom talking into the phone.
"Koushiro hunny, someone wants to talk to you on the phone!"
Koushiro sat up and yelled out, "I'll get it in my room!"
'I hope it's not Sarah.'
He got up and waddled over to the phone.
"Mom, I got it!" He called out.
He heard a click.
"Moshi moshi Koushiro speaking."
"Oi `Shiro, it's me Taichi. Watcha doing?"
'Thank god it's only Tai'
"Nothing much. What about you Tai?"
"Nill here too. I was just talking to Sarah and she's worried about you. She said you ran off earlier on today. What's wrong?"
Koushiro could here the concern in Taichi's voice. He could feel his own face getting red. Oh well he knew Sarah told Tai everything. They were friends too ya know. He might as well tell Tai everything too.
"Well," Koushiro stated, "I was-"
'Most likey Sarah already told him all that.'
"Yeah go on...continue."
"Alright well we were walking to Sarah's house cuz it's closer and we were talking about stuff and then she asked me who I had a crush on. I couldn't tell her so I ran away."
There was a slience for a few minutes then Taichi spoke up.
"So who do you like then? I have a faint idea but I'm not sure."
"I can't tell."
"Do you like...um...Sarah?"
Koushiro gasped, 'how'd he know?!'
"Yea."
"I knew it! Man why didn't you just tell her?"
"I couldn't. I was afraid of what she was going to say."
"Well worry not young friend, she likes you too. So just go on over and tell her."
"But I don't just like Sarah I love her."
"Doh! That's what I ment! She LOVES you too!"
Koushiro let this process in his brain for a few seconds.
"Really?!" He asked hopefully.
"Damm stright now get on over there!"
"Alright! Ja ne!"
"Sayonara 'Shiro."
Koushiro hung up the phone. He hurried and got dressed and ran out the door. He only slowed down to give his mom a kiss on the cheek and tell her that he wouldn't be home for supper. He knew for a fact that Sarah's parents and older sister weren't home. And with their bulit up feelings they would need their space.
Koushiro was standing in front of the Jennings' door. He ringed the doorbell and waited, and waited. Finally someone opened the door a crack. It was Sarah, and her hair was all messed up, it looked like she had just woken up from a restless sleep. Unless it was something else.
Koushiro took a step back and gasped in horror.
'No it can't be!'
"Sarah, who's at the door?" Someone called from inside the house.
'Ohmygawd! Was that Yamato's voice?'
Yamato struted over to the door and put his arm around Sarah. He opened the door so that he could also see who was at the door.
"Yo, it's only `Shiro. Hurry up and talk to him so you can come back inside."
Yamato leaned in and kissed Sarah on the lips. Then he walked back inside.
Sarah steped outside the door and closed it softly. She walked over to Koushiro and put her hand on his shoulder.
"`Shiro what's wrong? Was there something you wanted to tell me?" Sarah said sweetly.
'Shit how does she know? I knew I shouldn't have told Taichi. Damm she goes out with Yama! I would of never guessed. But wait, Taichi would have known wouldn't he. What were they trying to do to me. They all knew that I liked Sarah. They're probley all making fun of me behind my back. I got to get out of here. I have to go home.'
When Koushiro didn't speak for a couple minutes Sarah waved her hand in front of his face.
"Hello? Anybody in there?"
"Ugh...um...I gotta go." Koushiro stammered.
Koushiro took off running. Tears were streaming down his face.
'Why did she do that to me? Why me?' Koushiro thought to himself.
Koushiro ran to Obidia City Park. He ran to the water fountain and washed his face then he slumped down unto a bench. He curled up, (sort of) put his arms around his knees and buried his head into his arms. Then he cried again.
'Why don't they like me? I love her with all my heart but she loves Yama. But Tai said...damm Tai's in on this too! Shit who can I talk to now? My life is over. There's nothing left for me to hope for anymore.'
Koushiro stood up and for the second time he washed his tears away. He started walking. He didn't know where. He started to think back on the days of his childhood. Summers with the other digidestened childern. With Tentomon in the digital world. When Tentomon died, Sarah helped him through the rough times. Now she couldn't help because she was the cause of all his pain. Having friends he could trust, and family that cared. He missed all of it.
Then Koushiro came to his final destination, the Highton View Terence Bridge. This was the bridge that gave him so much happieness but so much sorrow.
Koushiro climbed over the protective railing and stood, holding on to the railing, looking out over the street. He looked down and leaned out a little so that he could see the cars go by. His foot lost it's grip and he almost fell. He quickly backed off. He was breathing very hevily when he heard foot steps to his right. He tenced up hoping it would just be some inocent bystander or a cop.
"Koushiro, we have to talk."
'Great my worst fears are coming true'
"`Shiro please come in here we need to talk, now."
"I'm not moving and if you try and make me come in I'll jump."
Sarah stoped in her tracks. She didn't want anything to happen to Koushiro until she was done talking to him.
"Alright you stay where you are and I'll stay where I am."
"I'm warning you, don't tell me what to do. I'm not afraid of death."
"Ok then. I'm sorry. This wasn't my idea. This idea was...I do know your feelings for me and I just wanted to say-"
"Oh shut up. What fellings are you talking about. I have no feelings for you."
Sarah was taken aback. Koushiro was cursing to himself.
Sarah ran over to Koushiro and grabed him around his waist. She buried her face in his back. Now Koushiro was really confused.
'Who's idea was this? And why was Sarah trying to keep me alive?'
"I (sob) (muffle,muffle,muffle) love (sob) (muffle) and I (sob) just wanted (muffle,muffle) you (sob) (muffle) I (sob) (muffle,muffle) too (sob) (hic)."
"Wha...um...what did you say?"
Sarah dried off her tears in Koushiro's back all the while not lousing her grip.
"I said, I know that you love me and I just wanted to tell you that I love you too."
"You do?!" Koushiro said as he spun around frogetting where he was standing.
With his sudden movement the edge of the bridge where he was standing crumbled away and he lost his footing. Sarah couldn't belive her eyes the secret was out and now her love was going to die and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Nooo! Koushiro! I love you and I want to be with you forever!" Sarah yelled as she tryed to grab Koushrio.
As Koushiro fell he uttered, "Sarah, aishiteru."
