**** Flashback Part 2 *****
The sun set slowly, creating a soft gradient of orange turning to red and of red turning to black. The night was beginning to cover the city in eternal blackness only to fail as the stars showed up and the lights of the city turned on, creating the impression of the daylight sun. Snow began to fall lightly, a snowflake dropping here and there, caressing the clear, paved roads with light powdery goodness that God had created.
Koushiro walked to Yolei's apartment which was just a few blocks away from his own, whistling a soft, happy tune that reflected what he felt at that moment. He had gone to the department store this afternoon with Yamato, Taichi and Jyou, searching for the perfect gift that he would give Miyako on this special day of their life. He grasped the gift in his right hand and marched towards his destination which was only one corner away.
******
Miyako sat at her bed side, choosing what she would wear in this particular occasion. She knew that she had to be practical and wear something warm since this was a Christmas Dance after all, but a voice in her heart keeps on shouting at her, telling her to wear something that would lull Koushiro to his dream world. She glanced outside her window and noticed there was a person standing outside her door, his green winter jacket flying softly with the gentle breeze that suddenly blew in. He lowered the hood of his jacket and revealed a large mass of flaming red hair and it struck her, Koushiro was here! She glanced at the clock immediately and noticed that it was already 5:25 PM, 5 minutes before she was supposed to be fetched by her knight in shining armor, in this case, in a green winter jacket. Yolei snickered at her thoughts and glanced upon her window once more, watching the snow flakes fall upon the flaming-haired knight who was waiting patiently at her door. She quickly put on the set of clothes that she found was in the middle of her practical mind and creative heart and quickly dabbed on some light make-up and replaced her glasses with some brand-new contacts that Seami suggested her to buy. She glanced upon her reflection on her mirror and nodded in approval, it was perfect!!! She quickly grabbed her hand bag at the corner of her room and rushed downstairs, saying goodbye to her siblings and parents as she passed by them. She rushed to the couch and quickly opened one of the packages she brought home after a long afternoon of shopping and put on her brand-new winter shoes, which was in a light hue of lavender and had an artificial substitute for mink fur placed all around the edges. She then opened the second package and placed the lavender-shade winter parka on, embracing her whole body in a vortex of warmth and grace.
She then rushed towards the door and shouted, "Ittekimasu minna-san… (I'll be back everyone…)", as she closed the door behind her.
"Konbanwa Inoue-chan… (Good Evening, Miyako…) Hajimemashite! (Nice to meet you)" asked Koushiro, admiring the outfit that Miyako was wearing.
"Konbanwa Koushiro-kun... (Good Evening, Koushiro…) Hajimemashite wa! (Nice to meet you, too)" replied Yolei, blushing softly as the snowflakes began to fall once more.
"Ikimashou? (Let's go?)" asked Koushiro, stretching out his left arm to Miyako.
"Hai, ikimashou… issho… (Okay, let's go… together…)" replied Miyako, accepting Koushiro's outstretched hand.
Koushiro cheeks lit up slightly as he felt Yolei grasp his left arm and tried his best not to faint as his emotions began to overwhelm him. They then slowly made their way towards the school gym where the party was to be held not noticing that a person was watching them in the shadows.
"Miyako… why him?" shouted the guy in the shadows who faded away as the snowflakes began to fall heavily, reflecting the trouble that was approaching the new couple, Koushiro and Miyako…
******
"Konbanwa minna-san! Welcome to Odaiba High's Christmas Bash! It's time to party…" shouted the emcee, sending the crowd shouting into cheers of joy.
The Odaiba High School Gym was filled with Christmas Décor which were visible even if the lights were dimmed to create the proper party atmosphere, with spotlights here and there, shining on Yamato's band as they played song after song of dance music and some occasional slow dance songs.
Koushiro and Miyako stood by the punch bowl, both of them in their third glass of some sort of pink fruit punch. They had just finished their 5th dance together and both felt that they were pretty tired after that. They brought their drinks to a table and sat down, happily drinking down the punch.
"Miyako…" whispered Koushiro in the midst of the loud dance music that Yamato's band was playing.
"Yes… Koushiro-kun, nandayo? (what is it?)" asked Miyako, taking a big sip from her cup.
"I didn't invite you to the dance as a friend, Miyako… I invited you to the dance because I think I'm in love with you… NO… I'm certain that I love you… Aishiteru Inoue-chan…" whispered Koushiro, his face as pink as the punch they were drinking.
"Na-na-nani? What did you say, Koushiro-kun?" stammered Miyako, dropping her cup onto the floor.
"Aishiteru Inoue-chan! I Love You, Miyako…" repeated Koushiro, this time with more emotion and intensity.
"Am I dreaming? Somebody pinch me…" whispered Miyako, not believing what Koushiro said was true.
"You're not dreaming Inoue-chan, I really love you and I hope that you do too… If you don't then I'll just have to accept it… You'd still be my friend forever whatever your decision may be…" Koushiro whispered into Miyako's ear, hugging her in a semi-friendly, semi-romantic hug.
"…" was all Miyako could reply to this sudden confession of love to her.
Her eyes began to well up with tears that slowly fell down her cheeks, falling softly onto the floor like the snowflakes that started that day with.
"Miyako-chan, did I say something to hurt you so? Maybe I should let you be alone for awhile…" said Koushiro solemnly, slowly moving away from the embrace he initiated.
"Iie… I'm just happy that you finally said it, Koushiro-kun… I… I… Love YOU too…" shouted Yolei, making heads turn towards their direction.
"Miyako…" whispered Koushiro, his eyes sparkling with happiness.
The spotlight then shone on them as Yamato's band with Taichi as their secondary vocalist (OMG! Taichi's gonna sing… Put cotton on your ears now!) began playing a slow song once more.
'Must be Taichi and Yamato's plan again…' thought Koushiro, grinning at the outrageous ideas that his friends had.
"Can I have this dance, Inoue-chan?" asked Koushiro, again offering his hand to her.
"Hai, you may…" replied Miyako, wiping the tears of her eyes and accepting Koushiro's outstretched hand.
They danced smoothly with the music, closing their eyes to fully enjoy the soft melody and the romantic feeling of the song. The rest if the crowd stared at them for a moment, before finally going about with their own dance with the partner they had chosen. The spotlight left Miyako and Koushiro and went back to shine upon Taichi and Yamato who were singing a duet together. The music played for some time before it ended with a soft and long High C note and was replaced with another dance song.
"Miyako, can you come with me outside for a moment?" asked Koushiro as the slow song ended.
"Sure…" replied Miyako, following Koushiro to the exit.
"Miyako, I want you to have this…" said Koushiro, thrusting some sort of package into Miyako's arms.
"Huh? You shouldn't have! I don't even have a gift for you, Koushiro-kun…" replied Miyako, her face brightening up to a light hue of cerise.
"It doesn't matter if you have a gift for me or not… I just want you to have this because I want you to have it… I love you and you love me, that's all that matters… I'd have given you this gift even if rejected me so open it already… I think you'll like it…" whispered Koushiro, glancing now and then at Miyako's reactions.
Miyako slowly and carefully opened the wonderfully wrapped package in her arms and revealed a beautiful lavender party dress and a silver pendant that was shaped like a heart and could be opened to reveal pictures of the two them, one on each side of the opened pendant.
"I know that it's not that nice, since it was Tai who helped me pick out that dress… He doesn't have much sense in choosing gifts for females I've noticed, especially with Sora… Maybe next time, I'll ask Kari or Seami to help me… And well, as for the pendant, I know that it doesn't look really nice but…" mumbled Koushiro only to be interrupted by Miyako kissing him passionately on the lips.
"Enough of the words… I love it…" replied Miyako, hugging Koushiro in a tight embrace.
"Such a wonderful display of affection…" whispered a voice in the shadows.
"Who's there?" shouted Koushiro, trying to protect Miyako from whatever danger that could happen.
"My, my, Koushiro-sempai, have you forgotten about me, Ken Ichijouji, your partner in the newly re-established Computer Club…" remarked Ken, stepping out of the shadows, revealing him wearing a black parka.
"Ken, what are you doing out here?" asked Miyako softly, knowing that after their adventures in the digi-world, Ken's one of the good guys again.
"I just wanted to take a whiff of fresh air and then I saw the two of you…" replied Ken, his voice slightly depressed for some strange reason.
"I was about to go and greet both of you when I saw the two of you kiss…" continued Ken, breaking down into sobs and began to run away from the two of them.
"Ken…" shouted the two of them as they ran towards the direction where Ken went.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Yolei, noticing the hard guilty look on Koushiro's face.
"He loves you and we just broke his heart into a million pieces when we kissed…" replied Koushiro solemnly.
"Ow…" remarked Yolei, "I didn't know that…"
They ran after Ken and soon caught up with him and found him sitting on a bench at the park, crying his eyes out.
"Ken…" whispered Koushiro softly, trying to comfort his best friend apart from the old digi-destined.
"Gomen… I didn't mean to hurt you…" continued Koushiro apologetically, hoping that it would be enough for Ken.
"It's not your fault, Koushiro… I just didn't try hard enough… You two deserve each other… She picked you over me, didn't she?" remarked Ken, sobbing continuously.
"Ken… Snap out of it! It's not the end of the world… There are other fishes in the sea, I'm just one of them and I don't think that we were just meant to be… There's someone out there who is…" Miyako shouted, tears also falling down her eyes.
"I just can't forget about you Miyako… I just can't forget about you… Did you think that I became good just because Wormon died in my arms… No, I became good because I loved you, Miyako! I loved you since the first time I saw you! I was just blinded by my hate to understand the feelings I felt for you and with Wormon's death, I regained my sight…" said Ken, his voice hoarse and wispy.
"Ken…" whispered Koushiro, going up to him and rubbing his back soothingly.
"I know that I should hate you, Koushiro, but I can't since I know that you are my best friend and that you never meant to hurt me… I guess I should be happy for the two of you, since if both of you are happy together then I should be happy too…" whispered Ken, wiping the tears off his eyes.
'I didn't think Ken loved me that much and that Ken would be strong enough to accept such a hard reality such as that…' thought Miyako, watching Ken's eyes light up once more with the same fire he always had since the day he joined them in the good side once more.
"Koushiro, I want you to promise me something…" said Ken solemnly, his eyes showing no remnants or evidence of crying.
"What is it, Ken?" asked Koushiro softly.
"Promise me that you'll take care of Miyako or else I'll break your bones into a million pieces, okay? Yakusoku? (Promise?)" asked Ken jokingly.
"Yakusoku…" replied Koushiro, knowing that Ken was the type to take a person's word to the extreme.
"Arigato, I guess I can be sure that you'll take care of Miyako now, won't I?" laughed Ken, his voice returning to its old sweet and happy nature.
"Yeah!" replied Koushiro, he too joining in Ken's soft laughter.
"Koushiro, could you let me talk to Miyako alone for a moment?" asked Ken softly, his tone now serious once more.
"I'm fine with it…" replied Koushiro, moving away from the tow of them to give them some privacy.
"Miyako…" whispered Ken softly.
"What is it Ken?" asked Miyako wondering what this could be about since everything was already okay.
"Miyako, I want you to promise me that if you and Koushiro don't work out that you'd be my koibito until you find someone else… is that okay with you?" asked Ken solemnly, watching Miyako's eyes twitch.
"I won't try to break you two up, I promise… I'm just saying that if things don't work out for you… without outside interference from me… would you?" continued Ken, hoping that the doubts that Miyako had would fade away with his words.
"You promise that you won't break the two of us up?" said Yolei softly, trying to keep her emotions at bay.
"Hai… I wouldn't want to be the reason for why the goddess of love and sincerity would be sad, right?" remarked Ken.
"Yakusoku?" asked Ken, stretching out his little finger.
"Hai! Yakusoku…" replied Yolei, accepting Ken's little finger with her own…
**** End Flashback Part 2 ****
"Koushiro? Hello… Are you still awake?" shouted Miyako.
"Huh? Nani?" remarked Koushiro and noticed that he was behind a tree in the park with Miyako.
"Oh never mind, just don't it again, okay, Kou-kun?" remarked Miyako, hugging Koushiro in a tight embrace.
"Hai, koibito…" replied Koushiro, tightening their embrace.
******
"Let me get this straight, you and Kagami are friends in Tokyo?" asked Davis for the umpteenth time.
"Yes…" replied Shizuyo beginning to get irritated at his stupid questions.
"Now, to think of it, you act like Kagami a lot…" continued Shizuyo, making both Davis and Kagami blush like a beet.
"DAMARE! (Shut up!) We have nothing in common…" shouted both Davis and Kagami in unison.
"Well you just did now…" replied Shizuyo softly, hoping that they would get her hint.
"S-S-Shizuyo!" shouted Kagami, blushing even more than before.
"I don't like him, I like the blonde bishonen back there with my cousin…" whispered Kagami.
"Don't deny it… I know who you really like…" laughed Shizuyo, watching Kagami's face flush up terribly.
"Na-na-ni?" asked Davis, not really understanding what the hell the two girls were talking about.
Shizuyo snickered lightly, laughing at Davis' ignorance and Kagami's so-called puppy crush on Takeru.
******
"Want to join the rest in the picnic?" asked Yolei, letting go of Koushiro.
Koushiro grabbed her quickly by the hips and quickly placed his lips on hers, giving her a passionate kiss. Koushiro ended the kiss quickly knowing that Miyako might be angry at him for being so aggressive.
"Uh… Miyako… are you mad at me for doing that?" asked Koushiro softly.
"Nah… I actually liked it…" replied Miyako.
"You know… They won't miss us…" continued Miyako, reciprocating Koushiro's kiss with another one.
"You're probably right… Anyway, you taste better than the food you brought…" remarked Koushiro, enjoying the kiss.
"Baka…" laughed Miyako, letting herself surrender in Koushiro's arms.
"I guess I am a baka to fall in love with you…" retorted Koushiro.
"Hey…" shouted Miyako only to be interrupted by Koushiro giving her another passionate kiss.
