Author's Note: You know it's so interesting to see your friends again after
2 long weeks of not seeing them due to no school, but if I had the choice,
I would choose sleeping late to my friends. LOL. What a good friend I am.
Just kidding. Maybe. Oh, by the way, changed the title. Hope you didn't
mind too much.
Thankies to:
Kouzumilover: Aw...don't be so mean to lil' Takuya!! *huggles Takuya-kun* Hee hee. LOL. Agreed. I'm just not into writing incredibly long chapters, somehow I just can't. I'll just update sooner than most peeps I know. ^_^
Chibi Minamoto: Hmmm...well, if you really think that it's fast going and a bit non descriptive, I'll TRY to improve things a bit if you want...
Neofilly: Thank you!! :) Apparently you weren't the only one who thought the conversation between the two was funny. It's strange how I wasn't GOING for funny, but that's okay!! ^_^ LOL.
Lil-shorty-300: Thank you!
You Shall Never Know: Thank you! :) Heh, I think I'll use that note or whatever that you suggested in your review (or was it a joke?) I'm sorry but I really don't want to make Izumi tell anyone especially since there's going to be an...interesting scene coming up about that.
Child Of The Stars: Arigatou!!
Shauna: Yes, they are going to the Digital World and I explained that in the...ano...previous chapter I think. Too lazy to explain it but...okay, Izumi has been told by so many people that the Digital World has never existed before that she's managed to convince herself that she's never went to the Digital World therefore never met the gang.
Shiranai Seito: Ah...heh. You hated the hat? Heh. Sorry, but I liked it. Well, just ignore it and just pretend that the hat has been taken away. LOL. Oh, how Kouji got to Italy will be answered in this chapter.
Mimi: Thank you!

Was she really that insane to just climb in a car with a person she hadn't even met before?
'Well...the name Kouji does sound familiar...I must have met him from some time before.'
An inner voice inside her head still protesting loudly, she pulled out the cell phone that she had managed to grab before heading slowly towards the dark blue car.
Pressing some numbers unhurriedly, she put it to her ear with a calm look on her face; despite what she was about to do.
"Hey...Mom? Dad? It's me, Izumi. Yes...I'm going to be...sleeping over a friend's house for a while since it does get boring being by myself a little...so do not expect to see me if you come home earlier than expected."
Hanging up, she bitterly laughed.
'Mom and Dad, don't worry...I'm only going to Japan to some train- station in Tokyo with people who say that they know me but I don't remember them. I can't call you when I get there..long distance and such. But don't worry, I won't be kidnapped. It'll be okay though. Yeah right.'
(Author's Note: See? I did use your thing after all, just not in the way that you wanted. Sorry!! But thanks for the idea though! ^_^)
"Hey Miako...it's me...yeah, I know it's a bit early to call...no I'm not suffering from a horrible disease...I know I usually sleep later than you do but...today was an exception. Anyways, I'm going away for a while to my aunt's...no not that one...another one. Don't come over, I won't be there. I'll call you when I'm back, kay? Okay, bye."
She dropped the phone back into the bag with a relieved sigh and headed with longer strides towards the dark blue car which still waited there.
'Well...it's not as if this matters. I can already imagine my funeral if this Kouji dude kills me. My mother and father...if they manage to come back to Italy from Japan on time and Miako and her family. Done and easy.'
She adjusted her purple hat with a slight look of anxiety on her pale face and she sighed.
And opened the door to the car...and slid in.
(Author's Note: Hmmm...should I end it here? Nah. :) You peeps are SO lucky I'm in a good mood right now!! Heh. LOL.)
"Took you long enough Orimoto-san."
A comment from the front seat and she stiffened considerably.
The boy who seemed about her age turned around and stared intensely at the girl.
She remembered...
She saw him and she saw herself with him.
Could she have actually been there at this 'Digital World' like the boy on the phone had insisted?
She could vaguely remember...
Maybe...
No.
It couldn't be.
"Orimoto-san, you okay?"
She nodded quickly, her blond hair flying everywhere...she was mildly reminded of the time when Miako had mentioned the 'Digital World' that had caused everyone to avoid the girl for weeks with the rumor that the girl was crazy. Miako Chen had been the only person that had bothered to speak to her, being an outcast herself and it was with happy delight that the girls had found out that both had a lot in common.
"Hai...um...Kouji. Just...thinking."
She paused before blurting out inanely,
"How'd you manage to get here?"
She winced, realizing how dense her words sounded. She had only wanted to break the silence.
"...I came here by Ophanimon's way...don't ask how."
He glanced over his shoulder at the lack of reaction that the girl was showing.
"Orimoto-san, you remember Ophanimon, right?"
She shook her head fiercely, her blue-green eyes flashing as she dared him to say something about it. He didn't take the bait and instead nodded silently.
"Do you remember anything else about the Digital World?"
She shook her head and the car skidded to a stop.
The boy turned around, his mouth twitching with what looked like disapproval and his eyes looking exasperated.
"Do you remember me at all?"
She paused; looking hesitant, then quickly shook her head, a faint tinge of pink of her normally pale complexion.
"I-Iie..."
An astonished silence followed her words where the boy examined the girl, his dark navy eyes turning a shade darker.
"...May I ask why you are in this car then if you truly do not think you recognize me?"
"...No. You may not."
"I thought so."
She shot a glare at him.
"And just how do you expect to drive all the way from Italy to Japan?"
He kept his eyes on the road as he answered.
"If you had remembered the Digital World, you wouldn't have bothered to ask."
That only frustrated the girl even more and she slapped his head, ignoring the fact that she barely knew him.
"Look KOUJI, kindly stop acting as if it is my fault that I do not remember this stupid world of yours!"
She angrily punched the seat.
"Let me out of here!!"
The door opened and she fell out.
"Go ahead. It's not my problem."
She could have sworn that she heard a sneer behind his words and that only caused her to detest him even more.
'Stupid...jerk...'
Author's Note: Ah...I'm sorry, peeps. I can't decide what to do with Kouji and Izumi but I promise it'll be interesting to say the least. I'm sorry if the characters may seem a little out of character but I'm trying to adhere to my beliefs of what I think that Izumi and the others would seem older.
Review please!
