I don't own Digimon, Yamato, his pert butt, or Gabumon. I just own this computer that I'm using to write this story with. ::told by parents that they own it:: O-o;; I own myself. I'm sure no one will disagree with that!
Broken Angels
Part 7
Daisuke eyed Takeru and Hikari with jealousy. His cheeks flushed with envy as he watched Hikari rest her hand gently on Takeru's on the table. He felt his heart beat against his chest, as if trying to leap out and grab Hikari. This lovey dovey scene was getting on his every last nerves. This was one of the last things he had ever wanted to see, however, he was glad to see Takeru was his normal self. Ironic, he thought to himself.
"How are you feeling?" Daisuke asked suddenly. Everyone looked at him suspiciously, but he continued to stare at Takeru with wide eyes.
Takeru blinked then answered. "Just fine. All I needed was some food and good rest."
Daisuke nodded and continued eating. Ken cleared his throat and looked at Hikari and Takeru. "So, what are you going to do about Taichi and Yamato?"
"This sounds like some kinda plan to save the Digiworld...except we're saving humans," Miyako muttered.
Hikari nodded. "Yeah, we have. See, Taichi and Sora are going on a date tonight, and Yamato has band practice. They're paths cross at the same time, so, we'll be spying..."
"Who's we?" Daisuke intervened.
"Why, Takeru and me! Who else?"
His face went sour. "You're not inviting me?"
"Takeru and I feel that this is basically our problem. We don't want you guys involved, because we don't want Taichi and Yamato to treat you as enemies and think that we turned you against them."
He just sighed loudly in anger, and Takeru looked over at Hikari. "I hope things will be ok..."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they will," Miyako told him in a gentle tone.
Hikari smiled at Takeru. "Miyako's right. We can change everything. We just can't give up."
Ken looked at his watch. "Daisuke, we have a soccer match in half an hour. We better go change into our uniforms and head off now."
"All right," Daisuke replied without enthusiasm.
"Don't be so dull! Will you guys be there?" Ken asked, grabbing Daisuke by his arms to drag him out of his chair.
Miyako grinned. "Of course, Ken!"
Iori nodded in agreement, and Hikari shrugged. "What do you think, Takeru? Up to watching a game?"
"It would be a good stress reliever and will help get our minds off things. Let's go!"

Taichi was talking to Sora on the phone. "See you tonight around seven, ok?"
"Ok! I have to finish this project for science now, so I'll let you go and talk to you later tonight. Bye, sweetie!"
He grinned and hung the phone up after she placed her own receiver down on the phone. He stretched and then looked at the clock. "Oh man...the soccer game!"
Flying into his room, he searched his drawers for his soccer uniform. He went hysterical when he had no luck. "NOOO!!!! Don't tell me mom forgot to wash it! Or...wait, it was Hikari's turn to wash the laundry!! Errr...wait..it's the 3rd week of the month...oops...my turn to do the laundry..."
The phone rang and he ran to answer it. Grabbing the phone off the receiver, he literally screeched into it. "WHAT?!"
"Did I call at a bad time, Taichi?"
It was Hikari. "Sorry...I just can't find my soccer uniform."
"Oh...that's what I was calling you about. It's in the dryer. I decided to wash it this morning. Better hurry, cause the game starts not long from now! I'll be cheering you on from the stands!"
"Ok, thanks! I owe you big time. See you later, sis!"
Running to the laundry room, he grabbed his uniform and changed then and there. Throwing his other clothes in the hamper, he ran back to his room and grabbed his socks and shin guards and quickly put them on. Slipping into his kleets and grabbing his soccer bag, he ran out of the house to the soccer field.
***
"I feel like a hiding seriel killer," Takeru said as he stood next to the others down by the field.
Everyone examined him again. He did. Wearing dark shades, a dark hat and jacket in the oncoming summer was not his idea of a great time. Instead of being able to enjoy himself, he would have to hope he didn't die from a heat stroke.
Daisuke got a kick out of it. He laughed like an idiot and pointed at Takeru. "You look like some big bad raper!"
Takeru's eyes widened. "SHUT UP!! Everyone will hear!"
Too late, though, since the other soccer players were now staring more intently at him, dressed like it was winter. He was bright red, both from embarrassment and the heat.
Miyako rolled her eyes. "Look, it's best if Takeru and Hikari not sit next to each other up in the stands, so that way Takeru can take those ridiculous clothes off and not die before even half the game comes around."
"I wouldn't mind that," Daisuke blurted.
"Daisuke!" Iori scolded.
"Sorry."
Takeru quickly slipped out of his disguise and shoved them into Daisuke's soccer bag. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!"
"I figured you should hold it for me, since I would hate to keep it in the stands." Takeru grinned.
He glared at Takeru and growled. "You lazy bum! Why can't you be a normal human being and just drag it along with you?!"
"Oh, come on, Daisuke, it's just for a little while," Hikari said.
His approach to the situation changed and he flashed a smile at Hikari. "Of course, you're right! I should've thought about it a little better."
Takeru and Hikari giggled nervously at his remark, and they all headed up to the stands. Miyako waved to Ken. "Score a goal for me!"
Ken smiled at her and waved back. "Don't worry, that won't be a problem!"
As they took a seat, Miyako and Iori squeezed in between Hikari and Takeru, to make it look like they were still mortal enemies. Iori looked at Takeru. "I wish none of this was happening. I feel bad having to separate you and Hikari."
Miyako laughed and looked over at Iori. "You're a little boy, what would you know about romance and relationships?"
"No one said I had to," he muttered.
Hikari stared down at the field and saw Taichi run on. She jumped up from her seat and waved her arms. "Taichi!!"
Looking up, he saw Hikari waving at him. It made him happy to see her there, and the others. As his eyes scanned the stands, Takeru dove to the ground quickly, hiding behind the people sitting in front of him. "Good. No Takeru," Taichi said quietly to himself.
The people around didn't pay any attention to the blondie hiding from Taichi, but Iori and Miyako took great notice. Hikari finally glanced over to find Takeru cowering.
"It's clear!" Miyako shouted at Takeru over the loud shouting of people as the game started.
Iori helped Takeru up and they sat down to enjoy the game, or in Takeru's case, at least try to. But everytime he felt that Taichi was looking up in the stands close to where he sat, he hid to keep from being spotted.
"Takeru...Miyako and I are separating you and Hikari. There's no need to really hide."
"I know, but I can't help it. I'm just scared that he'll whack me again after the game, but only worse than what he actually did."
"I don't think your black eye stands out that much. It's discolored, but not severe or anything. It'll get better in a couple of days," a voice said behind him.
Iori and Takeru turned around to see Koushiro sitting behind them, with Jou and Mimi. "Hey, when'd you guys show up?!"
"A few minutes ago. We were watching you hide," Koushiro said, sipping his soda from the can he held.
"Don't you have something else to watch, such as the game?" Takeru asked irritated. He was embarrassed for hiding now, especially now that they had just witnessed his fear of Taichi seeing him.
"Taichi won't see you, so don't worry," Jou reassured him, noticing the look on his face.
Mimi smiled. "Hey, sit up here. It makes it more obvious you aren't with Hikari."
Takeru joined them, sitting next to Koushiro. Iori looked over at him. "You aren't gonna hide and use me as a shield are you?"
"No, don't worry," Takeru answered.
He had one more question. "If he does see you, are you gonna use me as a weapon to throw him?"
Koushiro laughed, and then Jou and Mimi cracked up. Miyako and Hikari were paying too much attention to the game to notice what was going on. Takeru stared wide-eyed at him. "Let me try that out now!"
Iori screamed as Takeru got up and made a dive at him. He accidently hit Miyako on the back of the head, and she fell forward onto the person in front of her. Hikari quickly grabbed her and pulled her back, but the person turned around and glared at them. "Sorry!" Miyako squeaked, then turn around to smack Takeru.
"Ow!" he shouted as he rubbed his cheek.
"You embarrassed me! Stop playing in the stands!" she fired.
"It was an accident! Sorry!"
Angrily, she sat down again next to Hikari, and returned her gaze to the field, watching Ken run back and forth. Hikari also looked back at the field, paying no more attention to Takeru. He looked at her oddly. Why is she acting so indifferently to me now?
"Don't worry, she's just putting on an act because Taichi knows you're here now," Koushiro said, giving Takeru a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder.
Takeru just nodded, looking at Hikari, then looked back at the field. Just have to make it through this...then, Hikari and I can be just like earlier.
***
"Great game!" Jou said to Taichi as he came off the field after the game. They had won, thanks to Ken's great skills.
"Thanks!" Taichi smiled widely, then looked at Mimi. "Looking good, Mimi!"
She blushed and smiled. "Thank you, Taichi. You look...uh, nasty, but that's because you were sweaty and playing hard out there."
"Yeah, was a lot of work. But, we have our superstar, Ken!" He gave Ken a heartily slap on the back.
Ken looked at Taichi. "Don't hit me so hard like that or I'll cough a lung up."
"I don't want a lung!"
He coughed and looked at Miyako. "Those goals were all for you."
She flushed and smiled with a starry look in her eyes. "Oh, Ken, you're so wonderful! Let's go out for a date, I mean, dinner!"
"Oh, you want a date? I can arrange that," Ken agreed, wiping his brow.
"R-Really?!"
"Of course. I'll go shower and meet you later. I'll call you up when I'm ready."
"OK!" Miyako cried happily, running home to bathe and get dressed.
Taichi looked at Takeru, who stood far away from the group. He eyed him suspiciously, then directed his attention back to the others. "I better head back home and shower. Sora's expecting me at seven."
"A date? How come I can't go on a date with someone?!" Daisuke cried.
"You can always take Hikari. I'm sure she has nothing to do tonight," Taichi suggested, looking at her.
"Um, well...," Hikari stuttered.
Takeru walked off, hearing this topic brought up. Then, he took off running unconsciously. Koushiro ran after him. "See you, Taichi!"
"Where's he going?" Taichi asked, irritated by Koushiro's sudden leave to go after Takeru.
"I'm busy tonight," Hikari blurted.
"What do you have to do?"
"She's coming over to my house," Iori blurted, covering for her. "And so's Daisuke!"
"Uh, yeah!" Daisuke and Hikari said in unison.
Jou nodded. "That's right. They planned it at lunch, however, they have to cross Miyako and Ken off the list now."
The three were relieved to hear how casual and confident Jou sounded as he explained. Thank god we have Jou, Iori thought.
"Well, it all works out then!" Taichi grinned. "I better head on home now. I'll see you later, Hikari!"
"Bye!" Hikari waved as he ran off the field and headed towards home. Then she looked over her shoulder to see Takeru and Koushiro walking together, talking.
"Let them talk," Mimi suddenly said as Hikari started heading in that direction. "Takeru still has some things he needs to get off his shoulders."
Koushiro looked at Takeru as they walked across the field slowly. "So, you've devised a plan of action. That's good, but do you think it's at all possible that we could help?"
"Hikari and I would rather do it ourselves."
"I see...but when you need to tell us what happens tonight, so that I can come up with something. You see, tomorrow is the dinner where everyone gets together, and if Yamato and Taichi are still brutal to each other, it could get nasty."
Takeru sneezed. "Right."
"Allergy season," Koushiro suddenly blurted, then continued,"but that's off topic. I hope everything goes well, ok? Let's turn back now."
They did, and Koushiro asked Takeru,"Are you ever going to ask Hikari out?"
"What?!"
"Well? You two are more than friends, obviously."
"What do you mean? We are just friends! Nothing more."
"Are you giving Daisuke the upper hand here? He's been meaning to ask her out all this time. You know, they've known each other ever since our job in the Digiworld was over three years ago."
"Yeah, but Hikari doesn't feel the same way about him. It wouldn't work."
"She likes you, it's obvious. It's just that she's scared. There's nothing wrong with asking her out to dinner or something..."
"I know...," Takeru replied quietly now that they were closer to the others. They stopped and Koushiro smiled.
"Takeru was just telling me about the plan."
"Yeah!" Takeru giggled.
Iori smiled. "Hey, Takeru, you wanna come over to my house? Daisuke and Hikari are coming as well! We can have a nice dinner together!"
Takeru ruffled Iori's hair. "Would I turn that down?! No way! More time to spend with my little pal!"
Hikari watched the two play rough house for a while, then looked over at Daisuke. "Is he hitting on Iori?" Daisuke suddenly asked.
"Daisuke! Don't say such things!!" Hikari gasped.
"Look at them! They're so chumly!" Daisuke pointed out.
"You're just jealous cause you aren't as close to Iori as he is."
"Why would I be jealous of him?! That's ridiculous! Me, jealous of Takeru?! Ha!"
"Yeah, whatever," Hikari mumbled.
"Well, we better get going. We'll wait to hear from you later!" Jou said and he left with Mimi and Koushiro.
"What time is it?" Takeru asked.
"Half an hour till seven," Iori replied.
"Half an hour," Takeru said to Hikari and she nodded.
"Can we just head over to Iori's now!? I'm starving!" Daisuke whined.
"You would be," Hikari said. "Let's go before Daisuke's stomach eats itself."
They all walked off the field, Takeru and Hikari preparing to see what would happen between Taichi and Yamato when they met up together on accident.
