I couldn't wait to write this chapter… The ideas are so tempting…. Just to say this is going to be full of Takumi while I figure out how to write a Mizuji…
Gold Dragon36 – There's a good reason why he left… It will be revealed in this chapter. I despise that Sora and Matt got together. My brother and I had this thing when we watched Digimon season 1… I was Tai mad (Still am) while he thought Matt was cool… Tension. We would fight about which was better and whose Digimon was more powerful and I still say they only needed Matt to form Omnimon, although I think it would have much better if WarGreymon evolved into Omnimon… Sigh… Well I finally have an idea for my Sora and Tai fic, just need to figure out the plot line more before I write it.
Super garurumon - Thankies! YOu're so right Sora Kamiya is way better than Ishida(Gulp)
Cancercute - Yeah i thought that the two are way to close in looks... All they did was change the last name but i bet Tai really did marry Sora and they changed the last name because they accidentally made a mistake when they said Sora and Matt got married... I'm sorry i just hate Matt and Sora together...
Empty-spaces - Thanks! I would LOVE to know more about soccer! I have no idea about it... (I support Tottenham Hotspurs because my brother does and I need a team to support in my household)
I'm so sorry for not updating! School and horses have taken up my time so I don't have much left for writing but expect more updates sooner!
Chapter 4 – Our game
"Izumi!"
The black haired girl stood in front of her best friend, looking exasperated.
"You have to come with!"
The blond girl dangerously put her hands on her hips, her emerald eyes were flashing, "No."
The black haired girl let out a desperate sigh, "But why? You always come with me!"
"Because I'm tired of just sitting there and watching your boring practice," the blond replied, her arms now crossed and her eyes closed, her head turned.
"But Takuya will be there!" Mizuho hoped she had hit something there…
"No."
Takuya was the whole reason she didn't want to go. Every since a few days ago when he had walked away from her she felt as if he'd kill her if he had to see her again, or maybe he would just completely ignore her.
"Please, you know how much it will mean to me!" Mizuho complained. Today was a mock match between the lady Tornados and it would mean a lot if Izumi came with her.
"And it's also not in the morning…"
Izumi looked down at her friend's pleading eyes and she couldn't help but surrender. Mizuho was her best friend…
"Fine," she had barely gotten the words out when Mizuho gave her one of the biggest bear hugs of her life.
"Mizuho… You can let go now," were all the words Izumi could muster as she felt the life being hugged out of her… Literally!
The black haired girl clicked and released the blond, "Sorry… I got carried away."
Izumi shook her head and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
She would go for her best friend, and hope that she didn't run into Takuya…
"Dad! DO I have to go watch the game?" Takuya whined to his dad who was on the phone.
"Yes of course you do! You as captain need to show the ladies team support."
Takuya rolled his eyes… Now was not a good time to be captain…
"Fine… I'll be there…" he finally sighed into the phone, his dad would win in any case…
After putting down the phone Takuya shook his head.
He was out of the house, making money successfully by himself… Yet his parents still had control over him.
How lame was that?
Putting on his running shoes and grabbing a coat he locked the door to his condo and made his way to the elevators.
"Izumi! Hurry up! We are going to be late!"
"I'm coming!" the blond replied as she dug around in her closet for a warm jacket.
Her fingers brushed against something soft and fleecy.
Furrowing her brows in confusion she pulled the item out and looked at it suspiciously. When had she owned a fleece jacket? Especially one that said "Pyro Tornados" on the back?
Then it all came back to her… How Takuya had lent her the jacket on the freezing morning and how she tucked it away in her closet upon returning.
A small smile graced her lips as she remembered how warm she had felt when he put the jacket over her small frame…
"IZUMI!"
She was awoken from her revere when she heard the black haired girl yell… Mizuho was getting angry.
Stuffing the jacket back into the closet she pulled out another she sprinted to the front door where Mizuho was waiting impatiently…
"Good you put decent shoes on."
Izumi looked at her confused.
"Because we're jogging."
The grass was soft and cushiony… It felt like heaven to Izumi's tired body.
After jogging the whole way to the practice field she had found this smaller field and basically collapsed onto the soft grass from her unfitness.
Maybe she should work out more with Mizuho.
Nah.
That girl was a slave driver and she would most probably die before the fifth day… So spare the embarrassment.
She heard the sound of sneakers on the grass and she lifted her head to see a pair of jeaned legs walking towards her.
Looking up the body she realized it was a male and her eyes went wide when she realized exactly who it was…
She gulped as she sat up. This would not end well… He was most probably still angry at her for insulting his team like that…
"Hey."
That was all he said as he outstretched a hand for her.
She looked confused and took it as he helped her get up.
She looked at his face only to find him smiling at her, "Haven't seen you for awhile."
He didn't look angry and his tone definitely wasn't that of someone who wanted to rip you apart…
"Getting up early is killing me…"
"You'll get used to it," he replied as he stood next to her.
A whistling tune was heard in the grass as a gentle breeze blew through the air, ruffling his brunette locks and making her golden ones billow out behind her.
The silence was killing her… She was still waiting for him to start biting her head off.
Finally she couldn't stand it anymore, "Look about the other day…"
He had now turned his head and his chocolate orbs gazed deeply into her emerald ones.
She gulped, now or never. The latter sounded better…
"I'm sorry for what I said about your team… I didn't mean to insult you…"
He looked confused, "Insult me? Why would you think that?"
Now it was Izumi's turn to be confused, "But you walked off without a word…"
"Oh that!" he laughed and she looked at him with a glare, "It was time for my training session. It was later than usual that day."
Izumi's jaw dropped… So he wasn't angry at her?
"I asked for your honest opinion and I got it… Really." And he placed a hand on her small shoulder.
Izumi cheeks gained colour at the simple touch.
Takuya realized she felt slightly uncomfortable and looked around the field until his eyes spotted something, "Hold on just one second."
Izumi felt saddened as his hand left her shoulder… It left such a warm feeling on that spot.
She watched as he effortlessly jogged over to a lone soccer ball in the middle of the small field.
He dribbled it back and kicked it up before catching it when he reached her, "Care to play?"
"I don't have the faintest clue on how to play soccer… I live with a soccer crazy girl but I still don't know anything…" she admitted as she looked down.
Takuya put his hand under her chin and gently moved her face upwards to look at his, "Then how about we play with no rules?"
Izumi blushed at his actions, "Okay." Her lips moved in a mischievous smile as she quickly grabbed the ball from him and ran in the direction of one of the goals.
Takuya stood in the same spot before he realized what just happened. The next moment he took after the blond but she had already reached the goal and thrown the ball inside, "One point for me!"
He smirked, "Too bad you just scored in my goal!" he said before running after her.
It was about an hour later when the pair finally collapsed onto the grass, completely exhausted. Izumi didn't even realize that she was leaning on his shoulder.
"So I won."
"No you didn't it was a tie!"
Nether had eventually scored a goal because since there was no rules it meant that not one goal post was yours so each time they hit the ball in the other simply told them that they had just scored for them.
Izumi then remembered something as she placed her hand in her pocket and began fishing out the small object in her pocket. She finally grasped it and pulled it out, showing him the golden chain with a small ring as the centerpiece.
"Do you know who this belongs to? I found it the other day on the field and I didn't know whose it was an-,"
She was interrupted as she felt herself on the ground and Takuya's arms around her small figure. This was a very interesting position…
She gulped as she found herself staring straight into his chocolate eyes, small locks of his brown hair falling into his face slightly.
She blushed as his face got closer to hers… And now they were mere millimeters away from each other and Izumi was hoping that-
Her thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of something on her lips.
She opened her eyes after realizing they were closed and saw that Takuya's lips were on hers… and it felt so good.
But before she could do anything their lips had been separated and he was blushing furiously.
"I'm so sorry…" but she smiled and silenced him with a kiss of her own, which surprised him and herself.
"Will you go with me on a date?" Takuya asked after the kiss broke apart. Izumi nodded and Takuya used this to lay another tender kiss on her lips.
