yym: ARGH!!! I HATE SCHOOL!!! I REALLY DO!!! (currently having a temper tantrum in the other room)
Koji: We all do. Isn't that a fact of life, Ryuu?
Ryuu: Only to yym. Oh and yinyangmatrix is in a tantrum because she just finished her project only to be given another project which is to write a really long persuasive essay.
Koji: But I thought yym likes to write.
Ryuu: Not boring stuff. Since yym is very busy um… venting out stress and anger, I guess I'll have to fill in for her.
Kouichi: yinyangmatrix does not own Digimon, otherwise Ryuu would be famous and we'd be… you don't want to know.
Ryuu: Boy, I wish I was famous. Hey, how's yym going to vent out all that stress and anger?
(screams from the other room)
Koji: I guess Takuya, J.P., and Zoe are the unlucky ones.
Kouichi: But then yym will be after us next!
Ryuu: Uh-oh. FIND SHELTER!!! (runs away)
(Koji and Kouichi follow, scared)
Bunnyumon: Read and review please!
Child of the Stars
Chapter 11: The Song in the Journal
(Kasumi)
"Umm… is there anything I can help with?" I asked Zoe in the kitchen. Takuya and I just got back to the house. Bunnyumon was still back at the station, checking out something. I hope she comes back soon. Right now, it's lunchtime and I want to see if I can help with anything. Zoe smiled at me.
"It's okay, Kasumi. You don't need to help. The food's almost done cooking."
"Oh, okay." I said glumly. I decided to go outside and wait for Bunnyumon. While I was waiting I got bored so I decided to sing a song Ryuu taught me when I was little kid.
(Koji)
I decided to look for Kasumi so I can apologize for what happened. I went up to her room and knocked. No one answered. The door was unlocked. I opened it and entered a silver-lavender room. Kasumi wasn't there but right on her bed was a book. I picked it up and flipped to the first page. I read the first page.
Mommy and Daddy are dead. Why do they have to go away? I want them back. I want mommy and daddy back with us. But Ryuu said they can't come back. Why not? They told us they wouldn't leave us and they loved us very much. But they left us. Why did they do that? My head hurts really badly now. Ryuu told me that I fell off the stairs. I can't remember some things. I watch kids laughing and playing outside from my window. I want to play with them but they hate me. Kouichi hasn't been coming over lately. Where is he? He always comes to play with us. I feel lonely and sad. Ryuu tried to teach me a song but I don't want to sing. I'm too sad to. But I'll just write it down for someday. It's called Yume no Tsubasa and Ryuu wrote it himself.
Konna ni mo tooku e futari wa kite shimatte
ano koro no
osanai kimi no hohoemi ni mou kaerenai ne
Kimi ga warau sekai ga suki de
soba ni itai, soredake
wasurekaketa itami wo mune ni
Time goes by
time no nagare wa futari wo kaete yuku keredo
nakushita mono mo yumemiru mono mo
sono te wo totte omoidasu yo
itsumo kimi no soba de
Kanashii koto sae oboete okitai kara
kimi no chizu ni
watashi no tame no peeji wo nokoshite oite ne
Mirai kara fukitsukeru kaze wo
kimi wa ano hi shinjita
ashita wa motto takaku maiagare…
Time goes by
toki ga sugite mo kitte kawaranu mono ga aru no
todokanai kara, mitsuketai kara
yume no tsubasa wo sagashi ni yuku
soba ni ite ne, zutto…
Soba ni iru yo, zutto…
It's a really pretty song. Maybe someday I'll sing it for Ryuu. And maybe Kouichi too if he comes over…
I shut the book immediately and put it down. Oh great. I just read Kasumi's journal. Well, only a page of it but still… I can't help feeling in love with her even more. She's so sad and lonely… The only problem is Kouichi.
(Kouichi)
Lunch was finally ready so Zoe asked me to gather everyone for lunch. I found Takuya and J.P training with Agunimon and Beetlemon. I told them that lunch was ready and they rushed to the house. Tommy was practicing his aim with his weapon but stopped and headed to the house. I started to look for Koji, Kasumi, and Bunnyumon until I heard someone singing.
"Konna ni mo tooku e futari wa kite shimatte ano koro no osanai kimi no hohoemi ni mou kaerenai ne…" The voice belonged to Kasumi. She was sitting under a tree, singing a song that Ryuu taught her. I hid behind a tree and listened to Kasumi singing.
"Kimi ga warau sekai ga suki de soba ni itai, soredake wasurekaketa itami wo mune ni…" Her voice was so soft and beautiful… like her. I blushed and continued to listen to her.
"Time goes by toki no nagare wa futari wo kaete yuku keredo nakushita mono mo yumemiru mono mo sono te wo totte omoidasu yo itsumo kimi no soba de…" She stopped singing and I heard Bunnyumon from the distance.
"Mistress!" Bunnyumon ran over to Kasumi.
"Bunnyumon, you're back! Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Nope. It must have been the wind. Did you eat yet?"
"Not yet." Bunnyumon sighed.
"Mistress… you have to eat."
"Hmm…" Kasumi got up and dusted herself. I noticed Bunnyumon's ear was twitching.
"Umm… Mistress?"
"Yeah?"
"There's someone behind that tree." I gulped. Uh-oh.
"Show yourself whoever's behind that tree!" Kasumi yelled. I got out of my hiding spot.
"Oh, it's you, Kouichi. I thought it was one of those bad Digimon. What are you doing here?"
"I was finding you because lunch is ready."
"I'm not really hungry." At that moment, Kasumi's stomach growled. She blushed. I chuckled.
"Not hungry, huh? Try saying that to your stomach!"
"Okay, I'm a little famished. Well, let's go!" She ran back to the house with Bunnyumon and I following.
(Zoe)
We all gathered around the table for lunch. I brought out the food (A/N: They're having spaghetti!) and everyone dove right in.
"So, how's the food? Is it good?" I asked everyone.
"IT'S GREAT, Z!!! YOU'RE A REALLY GOOD COOK, NOT TO MENTION A BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!" J.P cried out. That comment was expected.
"I AGREE WITH J.P!!! YOU ARE A GOOD COOK!!!" Takuya yelled out. Tommy nodded in agreement, slurping his spaghetti. Koji and Kouichi were eating theirs too so I'll take that as a sign that they like it. I turned to Kasumi and I noticed that she had a few bites of hers but was busy twirling around the rest with her fork, avoiding our gazes.
"What's wrong, Kasumi? You don't like spaghetti?" I asked, worried.
"It's okay… it's just that I'm full", she replied.
"What?! You're full already?! But you only ate a little bit!" J.P burst out.
"And you haven't eaten for a proper meal yesterday, Mistress!" Bunnyumon added. Kasumi shook her head.
"Sorry, Bunnyumon. I'm full." Kasumi stood up to put away her plate and left.
"Mistress… you eat so little." Bunnyumon said sadly. I felt bad for Bunnyumon.
"Hey, Bunnyumon. What's Kasumi's favorite food?"
"Well… Mistress Kasumi likes watermelons, apples, and carrots…"
"And don't forget chocolate, Bunnyumon", Kouichi added, "But I don't know if that'll help. Kasumi has a very small appetite, you know?"
"Well, at least we could convince her to eat", I argued. Koji finished his meal and got up. He looked at J.P.
"Hey, J.P? Do you still carry chocolate with you?" he asked. I was surprised. Koji aka Mr. I'm-a-lone-wolf actually cared about Kasumi. The others noticed too.
"Since when do you care about others, Koji?" J.P snickered, "Do you like her?" Koji blushed lightly, but it was barely noticeable. Kouichi dropped his fork.
"Oops. Let me pick that up", he murmured and bent down under the table to pick it up. I heard a thump and J.P yelped.
"Ow!" Kouichi quickly got back up and looked like he did nothing. Koji spoke up impatiently.
"I just don't want anyone to get sick, okay? Besides, it'd be bad if Kasumi gets sick." J.P grumbled and took out a bar of chocolate. Koji took it and left, with Bunnyumon following him. Then J.P glared at Kouichi.
"Why did you hit my leg? That hurt!"
"It was by accident."
"No it wasn't! I think you like Kasumi too!" Kouichi just got up and left.
"Hey! Get back here!" J.P followed him, angrily. I shook my head and looked at Takuya and Tommy. Takuya just scratched his head and Tommy shrugged. I giggled. Aww… how cute. Koji and Kouichi are in love.
(Kasumi)
I was lying on my bed, staring at ceiling, still feeling hungry. I only ate a few bites of the spaghetti, but I don't really like it… I should have told Zoe. But I don't want her to go through the trouble of making food for me. I'm not 'spoiled'. My stomach growled. Although a chocolate bar might be nice… I thought in hunger. Someone knocked on my door.
"Come in!" I called out. The door opened. It was Koji. I blushed and stared at the ceiling, trying to find it interesting.
"You know if you pull that act, you're going to get sick", he said coolly.
"What act?" I asked innocently, still avoiding his cold stare.
"You know you're still hungry, Kasumi", he replied. I shook my head.
"I'm full", I lied.
"Mistress, please don't lie. You ate so little", Bunnyumon spoke up. Koji took out a chocolate bar and waved it at me. I tried to resist it but my stomach growled. I blushed and tried to ignore it. But he smirked and just threw the chocolate bar to me. I caught it and then locked my gaze into his. I was speechless. His smirk turned into a smile.
"Just eat it, Kasumi", he said and then Koji left. Bunnyumon jumped up to my bed waiting for me to eat it.
"Please, Mistress?" she begged. I stared at the chocolate bar and I couldn't help muster a tiny smile.
"Fine." I took a bite out the chocolate bar, savoring its sweet taste. I couldn't help thinking that Koji was a really sweet guy… just like Kouichi.
Ryuu: If you noticed, I changed the rating due to yym's violent nature. Voting is still going on so those who haven't vote yet, please vote!
Koji: So we can see who Kasumi will end up with.
Kouichi: But right now, let's hide from yym.
Ryuu: So please review and maybe yym might calm down. Oh yeah, yym does not own Yume no Tsubasa. This song is from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and the singer is Yui Makino. yym will probably use the song again for later chapters.
Koji: And yym would like to thank her faithful readers. You know who you are!
Kouichi: So review please! (before yym comes back!)
(A/N: Great, now I have to do another project but I'll procrastinate on that too. J)
