Hey guys! I'm really happy because of you guys who reviewed and followed this story! Thank you so much. I'm really sorry I haven't update in a while because of, you know, school and stuff. Anyway, here you go! Chapter 2!
At High School
(Right after Taichi sent Hikari to her school)
"Hey guys!" Taichi greeted a blonde and a red-head who was just about to enter the school building.
"Good morning, Taichi" the blonde said clearly mocking Taichi who just rudely interrupt them.
"Are you seriously mocking me, Yamato?" Taichi asked, looking pretty offended.
"Okay, let it go guys" Said the red-head girl, trying to stop them before they cause a scene.
"Hey, we're not really fighting... Chill out, Sora" Yamato said as the three of them continued walking to their class.
"So, I have a concert this Saturday. I was thinking of inviting all of the Chosen Children. Can you guys come?" Yamato asked. Lately he is pretty busy with his band he barely had enough time to hang out with everyone. Then there's school work, projects and stuff... So he wants to take this opportunity to see everyone again.
"Sure. I'll come" Sora replied while smiling sweetly.
"Uhh... Sorry Yamato... I really want to go but... I have 'things' to do that day... So..." Taichi tried to explain that he can't go the best way he could hoping Yamato could forgive him.
"Oh... It's okay, Taichi... I understand. It's just hard to gather everyone again. We rarely spend time with each other outside of school anymore." Yamato replied as they get into their class.
"Good luck on your concert." Taichi said back.
"Why would I need luck on the concert?" Yamato gloated.
"Everyone will be watching if you make a mistake on stage and live on camera." Sora emphasize the word in bold (sorry I can't think of anything). Yamato didn't say anything as they enter their classroom.
Not much have happened and now, it's lunch time. As usual, Taichi, Yamato, Sora and Koushiro sat at a table eating.
"Guys, I won't be here at school tomorrow" Koushiro puts some strand of Ramen into his mouth.
"Why? Is something wrong with you?" Sora looks over to him.
"Not me. My distant aunt is in the hospital. She said that she want to tell me something important." Koushiro continued eating his delicious ramen.
"Is she about to give birth? " Taichi teases him.
"No... She's sick." Koushiro answer in a flat tone.
"What disease does she have?" Taichi asked seriously this time.
"I don't know... she suddenly call my mom yesterday telling that she wants the whole family to come " Koushiro explained
"I bet I could guess what disease she have" Taichi said as his lips curled into a mischievous grin.
"I highly doubt it." Yamato snaps.
"But it is possible" Taichi snaps back.
"You guys are fighting over some ridiculous things. That's irrational" Sora said calmly. Possibly tired of them fighting over some little things.
"Okay, we will see the reason tomorrow " Taichi glared at Yamato and continued eating his delicious meal.
Back At Odaiba Middle School
"Hey Rin-san, do you want to have lunch with me and my friends?" Daisuke asked after class is over. Rin just stands up and walk pass him. Daisuke was taken back by him.
'I never knew that he is this rude' he thought. Then he stops right in front of the door. He looks back at him and said,
"Aren't you coming?"
'I knew that he wasn't this rude!' He smiles and ran next to him. As they were walking to the cafeteria, they chatted and get to know each other better.
"Hey Daisuke, who is the captain of the soccer team?" Rin asked without looking at him.
"That would be Ken. He's my best friend and the vice-captain is me, Motomiya Daisuke" He answered proudly. Rin nods his head as they enter the cafeteria.
"why are you asking, anyway?" Daisuke asked him.
"Are you interested in joining the soccer team?"Daisuke stands right in front of him making him almost crash into Daisuke.
" Maybe, I like soccer, but I would like to check out some other sports too" Rin walks around him and saw a brunette girl, waving at them from a table.
" Hey Motomiya, is that one of your friends?" Rin asked him still looking at the brunette. Daisuke looks to the person he is referring to. He smiled after he knew who it is.
"That's Hikari. Yes, she is my friend" He said then waving back at Hikari. After that, Daisuke leads Rin to the table. They sat down with Rin in front of Hikari and Daisuke beside her.
"You're the new kid, right? My name is Yagami Hikari. Pleased to meet you" Hikari said as she smile sweetly at Rin.
"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Rin" He replies with a straight face.
"Should I call you your family name or..." She said, trying to be polite.
"You could just call me Rin"
"Rin, huh? Well, I hope that we can get along " Daisuke said.
"Anyway... Hikari-chan, where are the others?" Daisuke asked her.
"Takeru is in the classroom when I went out but he said that he's coming. Ken and Miyako is..." she pondered for a while and then shrugs. Just then, Ken entered the cafe, looking like ready to murder someone. He looks around, trying to find somebody. Nobody dare to look at him and his cold eyes.
"Oii,Ken-kun, you are over-reacting. Look, everyone is scared now " Miyako puts one of her hands on his right shoulder. He sighs.
"I'm sorry, it's just that... I didn't see this person for a long time, you know.." Ken said as his eyes return to his normal warm blue eyes, much to everyone's relief.
"What is your relationship to this person anyway?" Miyako asked as both of them walk to their usual table in the cafeteria. Ken was just about to answer her question when he stop. Miyako turns to him
"What's wrong, Ken-kun?"
"That ... is the person I've been telling you about" Miyako turns to where he is pointing at. When she saw who he's gesturing to, her face changed.
"T-That?" Miyako said. Now it's Ken's turn to be curious.
"Do you know that person?" He ask as Miyako fiercely turns her head to face him with disbelieve.
"Are you serious?! Practically the whole school is talking about him! He is the cutest exchange student ever!" Miyako said dreamily. Ken rolled his eyes. But nevertheless, they got to the table Daisuke is sitting.
"Hi! You must be that exchange student, right? I'm Inoue Miyako" She said as cheerfully as she could manage. Rin look up to see her face.
"Hi" He said in a flat voice. He noticed Ken beside Miyako. Rin stares at Ken in the eyes and vice-versa. There's a visible tension between them.
"Nice to see you again." Rin said with no expression whatsoever. Daisuke and Hikari looked over to Rin, confused. Hikari turns to face Ken.
"Ken-san, you met Rin before?"
"Yeah... since little actually..." Ken scratched his head as he sat beside Miyako who is sitting next to Hikari.
"Oh, care to explain?"Miyako tilts her head in a curious way.
"Uhhm... It's kind off a long story..." Ken scratches his head again.
"How do you guys meet, actually?" Hikari asked. As Ken about to answer, Takeru came to the table with his usual charming smile.
"Hey guys! Who is he?" Takeru immediately took notice of Rin.
"Actually Takeru, I think you've met this person before" Ken said.
"WHAT!? Takeru too!?" Daisuke shouted, causing some people to look at him.
"Hmm... Really? I don't think I know him..." Takeru said as he scans Rin.
"Really? I'm pretty sure that you two were close back then..." Ken said, confused like everyone else.
"Takaishi Takeru. The younger brother of Ishida Yamato. Lives with his mother and moved to Odaiba at the age of 11." Rin suddenly said. Everyone stares at him in the state of shock and disbelieve.
"I'm sorry, where, when and how did we met?" Takeru asked him.
"The first day of elementary school, I was seated next to you" Rin answered plainly.
"Hmm... Rin..." Takeru was deep in thought and after a few second, he was hit with realization.
"You were THAT Rin?! You are 100% different now!" Takeru is shock, yet happy.
"That is why I'm not shocked that you don't know me." Rin answered plainly, again. (What is wrong with this guy! Is he a robot!)
"Okay, wait, to sum it up, Takeru and Ken knows Rin since they were little. Let's leave it at that. My brain can't process anymore than this." Daisuke said as everyone else laughs (except for Rin since he apparently doesn't have a soul). After that, they had their lunch and have gone back to class.
