Hello hello! This happens to be my first fanfic to Digimon. Yeah, I got bored and well I realized I need to do something about it! Also, since I love Digimon since grade 4, mind as well set my imagination go wild. Anyways, you guys must read this first before reading the story.
As you can see, this story is just base on just Kouji and Izumi. I will only include Takuya in here as Kouji's best friend. Sorry but there won't be Tomoko, Junpei, and Kouichi in this fic. Dodge throwing object Oh yes, Kouji, Izumi, and Takuya are 16 in this story.
Italic are Izumi's thought!
Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 1
Izumi sighed. Why? First of all, it's hot. Hot meaning she's sweating like a pig and opening every single window in the house doesn't seem to help one bit. You see, it happens to be the first day of July and school is officially over. How come she isn't going out with her friends and shop till she drop! Simple, she's flat out broke. Her parents left on a business trip to Italy so now she's stuck home along with her step-brother Kouji.
How does this happen? God knows why, her mother married Kouji's father before telling her this. Some mother eh? Goes out and marry a man and didn't have the time to think about her daughter's thought about it.
So now they think Kouji seem way more responsible, not to mention the oldest to keep in charge of the money. Well, it's not fair! She just met him 3 months ago, and she doesn't even know a thing about him. Everytime she trys to talk to him he would give her a cold look and walk away. Some "brotherly love" right?
Izumi screamed and covered her face with a pillow. It's not fair! It's not fair! I want to go out! This is killing me!
The door opened and Kouji's head poked in. "Would you mind keeping it down. Since our parents are gone, your voice seems to echo in this house. I don't think I can hear your constant bitching any longer," he said with a cool, cold tone.
He closed the door, and heard a loud thud. Figuring it was her pillow, he went back to his room.
Okay Izumi. Calm down. Take a deep breath. He's just here to annoy you. There's no need to go out there and kick his ass. Wait. Even if I do that, he'll still win. Arghs, stupid him and his stupid black belt in karate. She began cursing quietly and decided to go to the kitchen to fix a light snack. She took out a bag of chips and began devouring it.
Kouji came quietly, much to her liking and looked at her. Ignoring him she continue eating. But, she began to feel uneasy. She could still feel his eyes on her, never letting go. She began to shift uncomfortably and glared at him. "What?" she said with an anger tone.
He looked at her with his unemotional face. "Nothing. Just that if you keep on eating, you'll turn fat and no guys would even go a meter near you. You should think twice while you're at it." He walked past her and sat on a nearby couch, watching some basic television.
She growled. How dare he insulted her. He always does that to annoy her. You don't see her dissing him whenever he does something wrong. Because he's perfect. It was also disgusting that there was a Kouji Fan Club in her school. Just because he was the "mysterious" type. She was also used just so the girls in her school could get close to him. Thanks Kouji, thanks a lot.
Before she could snap back at him, the door rang. Who could that be? She wondered. Opening the door she gasped. "Takuya!" she cried and hugged him. Takuya smiled sheepishly and hugged her back. "Hey Izumi. What's up?"
She let go and dragged him in the house. "I'm good! I'm so glad you're here. You have no idea how bored I was. Stupid Kouji wouldn't even give me some money to buy ice cream!"
"That's just an excuse to buy that bag you always wanted. You know I'm much much smarter than you," Kouji said while his eyes still glued to the television. Takuya laughed and sat beside him. "You know he is right Izumi. By the looks of it, no one can fool the "almighty" Kouji. Heck, I can't even fool him myself."
Izumi slighly blushed. Okay, maybe she should tell our reader something. Yes, she has a little crush on Takuya. Just a little bit. So it's no big deal. Right! She sat down on the couch right next to Takuya. "So..why are you here?" She mentally hit herself. Nice going Izumi. You sure make a good topic to talk about. Great..it sounded harsh too!
Takuya just laughed. Once again, Izumi blushed. She looked to her right and saw Kouji staring at her with those cold distant eyes once again. She felt her heart skipped once. Damn you Kouji and those eyes of yours!
"I just wanted to tell Kouji here that soccer practice is tomorrow afternoon. You can come watch our practice if you want Izumi," he said with a smile on his face. She smiled back, hiding that evil blush and nod her head. "Sure! That sound great!"
Wait. Stop. Kouji is on the soccer team. The Kouji, on the soccer team? "WHAT! Since when you're on the team! I thought you hated soccer!" exclaimed Izumi. The world is ending!
"Didn't I tell you to keep your voice down," Kouji said with an irritated voice. "I don't like soccer. I was forced to be on the team." Takuya grin widen and pat Kouji's back. "Without Kouji here, there wouldn't be any skilled player to play against me." Kouji gave Takuya a glare but he didn't seem to notice.
"How come you never told me you're so good in soccer?" Izumi asked. Kouji sighed with fustration. "You never even ask me what sport I'm good in did you?" Great. Point taken. Maybe because you won't let me talk to you! With that comeback, Izumi sealed her lips.
Silent seems to take over the small room. Takuya seem to turned nervous. "Anyways, I should get going. Mom wants me to pick up grocery for her." Izumi stood up, "Ah! I'll go with you. Beside it's my turn to cook dinner." Takuya smiled at her which made her blush once again. "That'll be great!"
Kouji looked at them and his eyes narrowed. (A/N: Uh oh..I wonder what made him mad!) He toss a couple of money on the table and walk away without a word. "Jeez, I wonder what's his problem," said Takuya. Izumi took the chance to grab the money and grabbed Takuya's arm. "Don't worry, I think he's in a fowl mood today. Don't mind him." He looked at her skeptically. "Yeah, I guess so."
Izumi smiled. She was happy she spent the whole day grocery shopping with Takuya. They joked around and began playing with the fruits and vegetable. The employer who worked there even scold at them to stop those nonsense and if that ever happen again, she won't hesitate to kick them out.
The sun began to set, making the sky a mixture of orange, purple, and pink. Izumi and Takuya walked side by side with grocery bag now occupied their hand. "I had a lot of fun today Takuya," she said smiling at him. He grinned back. "Me too. But, I think I should walk you home first or else Kouji would beat the crap out of me if he saw you walking home at night."
Izumi blushed and smiled widely. "I'd like that thanks!" I can't believe it. He's willing to walk me home! Can my day get any better!
As they approached her house, she found herself having a hard time going in. "Well, thanks again Takuya. I'll see you tomorrow." He looked at her and once again put that happy smile. He lean close to her and without her know what's going on, he kiss her cheek. "See ya Izumi!" With that he walked away.
What the..what just happen? H-He..kissed me. This must be a dream. Oh my god!
She smiled to herself and shook her head lightly. She opened the door and walked herself in. Set the grocery on the counter she turned around and saw Kouji, staring at her once again with those eyes she hate. But this time, it kind of scare her. His eyes were pure of hatred and it was beginning to bug her.
"Um, we're having spaghetti today," she said as she took out the ingredients, avoiding him. He didn't say anything but stood next to her. Tension began to build up and it made Izumi really really nervous. She seperated the cooked spaghetti and hot water, her mind wasn't functioning right and hot water accidentally spilt on her finger. She yelped in pain and because she's a girl, tears began to come out.
Kouji looked at her helpless form and sigh in irritation. He took her finger and place it in his mouth to reduce the pain. Izumi stared at him. She blushed hard as his tongue overlap her finger caressing it. W-What is he doing? Ahh, why am I blushing! This is really embarrassing.
All she could do was stare at him and his bold action. She even watched him take out a tube of cream for burns and he applied it on her finger. Just as that, the pain was gone. He let go and put it away in the cabinet.
Izumi's heart was racing. What the heck is going on? "U-Umm..T-Thank you Kouji." She blushed harder when he turned around and looked at her in the eye. He shrugged, "It's no problem considering how helpless you were. Stupid girl can't even take care of herself."
She wanted to argue back, but decided to let that one slide. She carry on to make the sauce but once she turned around to ask him for the tomato, she caught him staring at her once again. Kind of getting annoyed by this she snap back, "Is there something wrong Kouji?"
He blinked and his eyes narrow onced again. "You like Takuya don't you?" Her eyes widen. "W-What! That's not true! H-He's just a really good friend to me. Why do you care anyways!" she shouted back with anger.
"You can't lie to me Izumi. I could tell you really do," he said dryly. Izumi couldn't believe him. What does Takuya got to do with everything? "I-It's none of your business. So what if I do like Takuya, he's a nice guy which you can never be!"
She didn't know what hit her. Kouji grabbed her arm and kissed her.
Wait, wait. WHAT! Kouji..is kissing her. Kouji is kissing her.
What seem to be forever, he let go of her and began walking to his room. "You shouldn't be standing there all dazed up you know, the sauce is boiling up."
What on earth is going on here!
-----
Done! Hmm, yeah I know Takuya seem to be a bit OOC. Ah oh wells. But just what in the world possess Kouji to kiss Izumi? Well, you got to wait for the next chapter to find out!
