Part 3: No More Homework, No More Books...
"Baka, baka, baka, baka!" Koushirou insulted himself continuously. "Why in the world did I promise something like that! Why does she have that effect on me? She's just a friend..."
It was now Friday night, and the redhead was sitting his room, cursing himself for saying that he was fluent in both English and Spanish. He was now currently working on a program that would help him to learn as much as he possibly could by Sunday. He also had the net running to check his e-mail.
He saw that Miyako had sent him an e-mail informing him about the meeting and what they all had decided. He laughed a bit when he found out that Daisuke wanted all of them to stay over at his place. Miyako also mentioned that Tai, Sora, and Matt would've ended up staying over at his place and that she was planning on switching places with Sora. Izzy thought about that and wondered how everything would've turned out and how he would've loved for her to stay over, but then realized that it wouldn't have been too much fun since Tai and Matt would've been there too.
"I'll probably never find myself alone with her," Koushirou sighed. "There's always someone else around. If it isn't the friends of our Digidestined group, it's always some of her friends she hangs out with at school, who pretty much ignores me since they don't really know me...but why am I so concerned about being alone with her anyway? She's my friend...nothing more."
He stood up and stretched a bit.
"I guess I could start on some of my summer work. Advantageous for me, I don't have as much as Taichi-san, Sora-san, Yamato-san or Jou-san."
The boy tried to do his summer work, but, in his mind, he kept replaying the scene between Ken and Miyako and how she was impressed when Ken told her that he was fluent in Spanish. He couldn't figure out why it bothered him so much for Miyako to be so impressed with another boy, and not just any boy, a boy she had openly admitted--in not so many words, but by actions--having a crush on. This made the redhead set his schoolwork aside and go back to his computer programs. He was more determined than ever to impress Miyako with his speaking skills. Sure this seemed like an impossible task, but with the right motivation, anything was possible...
There was a knock on the front door of the Yagami's apartment. Kari hurried herself to answer it.
"Hi everybody!" she greeted.
"Hi!"
Everyone, minus Jou, Koushirou, Ken, and Iori had come over to their place to do their summer work and to get help if they needed it. It was pretty bad that Koushirou and Jou weren't there. Koushirou was a math genius, which was no surprise since he was such a genius when it came to computers, and Jou was very good in science and was very good in math and was a bit better than Izzy--no exaggeration, literally--but Miyako was there and she understood most of the schoolwork that the others had.
"C'mon in."
All of them walked in and found themselves someplace to sit. They broke themselves up into groups, pretty much. Tai was with Sora and Matt, and Kari sat with Daisuke and Takeru...
Sora and her group didn't really need any help with their work, but Hikari and her two companions did...
"Hey, Tai, have you seen Izzy?" Miyako asked.
"Nope, I guess he doesn't need help with his school work, or he doesn't have much of it."
"Or either he's going to do all of it on his laptop for this trip to avoid having to leave the beach house!"
"I wouldn't be surprised," Taichi laughed, agreeing with Yamato.
Miyako ignored the laughter as she got caught up in her own thoughts.
"I wonder why he didn't come over. I really wish he would have, but why am I so concerned if he's not?"
"Hey, Miyako!" Daisuke called, breaking Miyako's train of thought. "Could you help me out with my math?"
"Huh...oh, okay. What math do you have?"
"Algebra."
"Sure, I'm a whiz in Algebra!"
The glasses-wearing girl went over to Daisuke to help him out with his Algebra.
"After him, could you help us out?" Takeru asked.
"Yeah, I don't get some of this math either," Hikari frowned.
She nodded and sighed out, "Sure," as her mind started to wander again.
"I really wish Izumi-senpai were here," the girl thought. "I love working out math problems with him."
Meanwhile...
"We'll never get through all of these review problems!" Yamato shouted out in frustration.
"We can kiss our vacation goodbye," Sora muttered.
"Not necessarily," Taichi smiled. "I have an idea that'll make things go along a lot quicker."
"Okay, what?" Sora asked, curious as to what the young soccer player had in mind.
"We each take two chapters and do the work on it and then we give each other the answers. There are six chapters and six chapters divided by three people is two chapters each."
"So you did pay attention to your Elementary school math," Yamato teased, Sora laughing a bit in the process.
Taichi ignored the two and continued on.
"How about I take the first two chapters and then either you or Sora take the next two and then one of you take the two after that."
"That's not such a bad idea, and I'll take the next two chapters."
"Which leaves Yamato with chapters 20 and 21."
"The most difficult chapters and the longest," Sora informed him. "I already took a look over them, which is why I chose the next two."
"Hey wait, no fair!"
"You snooze, you lose," Taichi smirked.
"Okay, okay, quiet down now," Sora instructed. "Let's get this work finished for Fujita-sensei."
The day went on as they all worked on their school assignments. Miyako realized that she had spent more time helping Takeru, Daisuke, and Hikari than she did working on her own schoolwork, but she didn't have much to do anyway.
Takeru, Daisuke, and Hikari had finished all of their schoolwork by the time the late afternoon had rolled around, but Yamato, Taichi, and Sora still had tons of work to do. They had finished all of the review problems, most of them anyway, thanks to Tai's idea, but they still had to solve those 50 chemical equations and they still had to write out that paper for Professor Fujita.
"I can't take this anymore!" Taich shouted, falling face down into his Chemistry book. "My vacation officially starts right now!" He then tossed his book aside.
"Hey, let's all head over back to my place now!"
"It's still pretty early, Daisuke-kun," Sora said.
"Well, I was just thinking that we should go back anyway," Daisuke started, trying to come up with a reason for them to come over, "to see how you guys want to sleep and stuff like that."
"Why not," Taichi shrugged. "We can get dibs on what we want early."
"Exactly!" Daisuke nodded.
The kids all got up and left Tai's place and headed over to Daisuke's. It wasn't too far a way...
*I know I said I wouldn't do this, these notes, but I just had to. My guess is that Daisuke and Taichi's places aren't too far apart because, if you ever notice, whenever the kids walked home from school, Davis was always walking with Kari in that direction, so I'm assuming it's on the way or nearby.*
When they got to the place, Daisuke took out his key to unlock the door, but realized that it was already unlocked. He was a bit cautious since it was. It would've normally been quiet, but there was some loud music playing--well, not too loud--and a girl dancing around wearing a bright yellow mid-driff and a pair of dark blue hip hugger jeans and singing along to the music, while gathering things.
"Jun!" Daisuke called as he cut off the radio.
The startled 19-year-old girl turned to see Daisuke and his friends.
"Hey! That was one of my favorite songs!" the girl shouted at her brother. "That was Kettobase! by one of my favorite idols, Hikki (Utada Hikaru)! It's a flashback day and they're playing older songs by different artists."
"Sorry, I just wanted your attention. You left the door unlocked! Someone could've come in here, knocked you out, and robbed us, or something!"
"Oh, I thought I locked it."
"No, you didn't. You didn't even hear me come in, so a stranger probably could've with no problems at all!"
"Sorry, I'm just so excited about this trip I'm going on this week!" The girl started to go into a slight daze as her eyes started to twinkle. "I'm so glad Shuu-san invited me along..."
"I hate to admit it, but I actually miss all of the attention she used to give me," Yamato whispered to Taichi. "I hated it, but liked it at the same time."
Tai laughed. He thought he'd never live to see the day where Matt would voluntarily want Jun's attention.
"Well, I hope you have a nice trip," Daisuke said quickly. "Everyone is staying over here tonight."
"I know, I heard you telling mom and dad, and I don't mind if you use my room, little brother." She then threatened, "Just don't go through my things!"
"The girls are staying in there," Daisuke explained.
"Don't worry, Jun, we know the importance of privacy to a girl," Sora assured her with a smile. "We won't go through your things."
"Thanks, Sora, but I trust you girls." She then gave Daisuke a look. "It's my brother I'm not so sure of."
"Why would I go through your smelly old things?"
"Because it's in your nature to, just so you can try to find some way of getting me into trouble!"
Daisuke retorted by sticking out his tongue and pulling down his bottom right eyelid. Jun ignored him.
"Well, I have to go finish packing for my week away in..."
"...Kyoto. I know, I know," Daisuke sighed, growing tired of hearing of her wanting to go to Kyoto so badly. "You always take your trips to Kyoto."
"So what if I do? I'm fascinated with its history."
"Shuu isn't that old and he isn't what I would consider, 'history.'"
"Pipe down," the girl told her brother, her face a bit red since Daisuke was pretty much right. She was only going because of Shuu, not for the historical references the beautiful city of Kyoto had to offer.
Jun left the group and headed towards her room.
"Hey, if you girls want, you to check this room out since you're going to be staying in it," she called to the girls, sticking her head from out of the door of her room.
The three girls nodded and responded by saying, "Okay." They then walked off towards Jun's room.
"I guess we could go to my parents' room," Daisuke said to both Yamato and Taichi. "It's right over here..."
The younger of the three boys led the two older ones and Takeru to the room that they would be staying in.
"Wow, this room is big," Taichi whistled after entering it.
"I guess, but don't touch anything," Daisuke warned.
"Do we look like the type that would tamper with anything?" Taichi asked with a grin.
Yamato gave Tai a look...Daisuke and Takeru did too...
"Okay, I promise," Taichi muttered.
The four boys left the room and went back to the living room where the others were. They had just gotten back from Jun's room.
"Your sister has a nice room," Miyako complimented.
"Yeah, and it's neat and clean too, unlike my brother's," Hikari added.
Sora and the other two girls giggled.
"Hahaha," Taichi sarcastically laughed while rolling his eyes.
"We should get home so that our folks can wish us off and so we can pack and get back here," Sora suggested.
"Good idea," Yamato agreed.
"Okay, guys," Daisuke said almost regrettably.
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask, where's Ichijouji?" Takeru asked. "Didn't he stay over here yesterday?"
"Yeah, but he forgot something at home and left first thing this morning. He said that he'd be back tonight, though."
"Oh no, I'm late!" Jun exclaimed, noticing the time she had on her watch. "I'm going to miss my bus! Got to go, guys."
"Need any help, Jun," Yamato offered.
"Aren't you sweet," she smiled at him, "but no thanks. I only have two bags. I can handle that."
"Okay..."
The girl hopped into a pair of sandals and ran out the door singing happily because she was about to go and meet up with Kido Shuu...
"The two don't even date, yet she acts as if they do," Daisuke muttered.
"At least we know Shuu-san is a nice guy," Sora said. "My father says good things about him and he is a Kido afterall, nice and polite, just like Shin-san and Jou-senpai."
"C'mon guys," Hikari urged. "Let's get going so we can hurry and get back."
"Right!" everybody nodded.
They all left and Daisuke waved them off.
"Come back soon..." he said quietly as he watched them leave.
He shut the door behind them and sat down on the couch. He frowned.
"I wish Chibimon were here for me to talk to...or Ken..."
