Now, this part is exactly like the title says and it really fits the genre of "PG-13." It is pointless and most characters in "denial" have them in most anime shows and stuff...ya notice? Well, never mind that. Let's get this story going. Now, as always, I do not own any of these characters or places normally seen in the show, game, manga, etc.
Part 5: The Pointless Argument of Miyako and Koushirou!
The next morning was filled with tons of commotion as everyone tried to get ready to leave. It was also strenuous since there was only one bathroom in the Motomiya apartment and nine people. Sounds like a messed up version of the Brady Bunch, but not to worry though; everyone made it to the airport on time, even if there was quite a bit of arguing between a certain two.
Well, the group was now at Michael's beach house and is now being greeted by everyone's favorite hostess, Mimi. The energetic 15 year old greeted them, wearing a pink tank top and a pair of short white jean shorts and sandals. It was very warm out. The girl ran up and hugged all of them.
"It's so great to see you guys!" Mimi exclaimed as she hugged all of them.
"Hey, where's Michael," Taichi asked.
"He couldn't make it, so he told me that I could use it."
"Cool! His folks don't mind you using it?"
"Not at all, Daisuke. They consider me to be one of the family."
She started to look around, noticing that they were two people short.
"Hey, where are Jou and Iori?"
"Well, the genius had a lot of summer work to do and couldn't come along, and Iori promised to help out his grandfather at his dojo," Yamato explained.
"Aww, I was really looking forward to seeing all of you. Well, at least you guys were able to make it."
Everyone smiled happily, minus Miyako and Koushirou. Miyako just said, "hi" plainly and Izzy just walked right past Mimi into the beach house, asking, "Where do I put my things," like he was trying to get away from Miyako.
This surprised Mimi...Miyako wasn't her normal, outgoing self and Izzy was acting, well for him, impolite and rude.
"Um, third door on the right, Izzy..."
Izzy walked off, not even thanking her, which surprised her even more. Miyako then left and walked off to sit on the beach.
"Um, what's with those two?"
"It's a long story," Ken sighed.
Flashback>
"Ahh, time for a day in paradise," Taichi stretched and yawned.
The big-haired boy had just awakened from his long night's rest.
It was still dark out since it was still early in the morning. When
he looked over in the bed, he saw that Izzy wasn't in it. As a matter
of fact, it looked as if no one had slept there at all. The boy shrugged
and decided to see if anyone else was up. He saw that Matt was still
sleeping soundly so he left, careful not to wake him.

In the girls' room...
Sora had the bed in Jun's room and Kari and Miyako slept on the floor. They all agreed that Sora should have the bed since she was the oldest...no bullying from Sora necessary.
The girl awoke and noticed that Miyako was gone, but she left her glasses on the stand that was right by the bed. She saw that it was about time to get up anyway and woke Kari.
"Is it time to get up already?" Hikari yawned sleepily.
"Yep, so let's hurry and get ready," Sora told her. "Looks like Miyako-chan had the right idea."
"I never knew she was an early bird," Hikari stretched. She then stood up. "I say we go wake up my brother. He likes to sleep in."
"Don't I know it," Sora laughed, thinking back to all the times Tai had been late to school due to his oversleeping.
The two girls exited Jun's room into the hallway and bumped right into Tai.
"Oniichan, what are you doing up?" Hikari asked in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Taichi asked.
"I figured that you would've still been asleep, which means that I would have the honor of finding different ways to wake you up!" Hikari smiled. "Daisuke's Soccer Ball would've been perfect!"
"Haha," Taichi laughed sarcastically.
"Hey, it's true. You always oversleep."
Before Tai could respond to his sister's comment, a certain blonde-haired guitar player startled the three.
"Yamato, you scared us!"
"Sorry, Sora," the boy apologized. "I didn't mean to. I just woke up and saw that both Tai and Izzy weren't there, so I came to see what was up. What's going on?"
"Izzy's missing and so is Miyako," Taichi explained.
"Really?"
Tai nodded.
"By the looks of the bed, it looks like Izzy's been gone a long time."
"It did look pretty made up when I left from out of there just
now."

Back in Daisuke's room...
An alarm clock went off, waking up the sleeping Daisuke, who was in his bed, and Ken who was in a sleeping bag.
"Aww, shut that damn thing off!" Daisuke groaned, stuffing his head under his pillow.
TK went over to Daisuke's desk and shut off the alarm. Daisuke took his head from under the pillow since the loud noise had stopped.
"Whose bright idea was it to set the alarm on that thing?" Daisuke asked groggily.
"It was mine!" Takeru responded radiantly, looking bright eyed and bushytailed.
"You look like you're all ready to go," Ken yawned and stretched.
TK was already dressed and he had rolled up his sleeping bag already as well. He just decided to let the other two sleep in until he was finished getting himself ready.
"I'm not ready to go yet."
The boy took out a familiar looking white cap and put it on his head.
"Now I'm ready!" Takeru smiled while giving the "V" for victory.
"I don't believe this!" Daisuke said, sitting up in his bed. "What's with you and that stupid hat anyway?"
"I could ask the same of you with the goggles."
"I just like them. Taichi-senpai encouraged me to get them after he saw me play my very first game, then after I broke my pair, he gave me his!"
"Well, I just like hats and my grandfather in France gave me this one; besides, I bet you couldn't go this entire trip without wearing those goggles!"
"I betcha I could!"
"The prove it!"
"Okay, I will! I won't wear my goggles for this entire trip!" Daisuke then got a smirk on his face, jumping out of his bed, and said, "I bet you couldn't go this entire trip without wearing that stupid hat of yours!"
"It's a bet, and the winner of this bet has to be the other one's slave for an entire month!"
"You're on," Daisuke said, shaking hands with TK. "And this bet starts time we walk out of this apartment."
"Okay, and you also have to take the goggles with you," Takeru added. "You can't just leave them at home so you'd have an excuse not to wear them."
"Very sneaky, Takaishi," Daisuke smiled. "And the same applies to you about the hat."
"All right, that's fair enough."
"Aww, c'mon you two," Ken yawned again while trying to rub the sleep away from his eyes. "It's too early inthe morning to be arguing and betting. Let's just get ready to go."
The two boys nodded and said, "Okay."
The three boys left out of Daisuke's room and ran into the others who were already standing out in the hallway.
"Aww, what are you guys doing up?" Hikari asked disappointedly.
"Takaishi woke us up," Ken informed her.
"You ruined my fun!" the girl complained. "I wanted to wake you three up!"
"Well, I beat you to it," Takeru smirked and winked at her. "I knew what you and Miyako were planning to do to us."
"Um, why are you all standing here in the hallway?" Daisuke asked.
"We sorta bumped into each other," Yamato answered.
"Miyako and Koushirou are missing too," Taichi added.
"You aren't going to find them standing around in the hall talking."
"Takeru's right, let's get out of here," Hikari said.
The group walked down the hallway and into the living room. When they got there, they saw two sleeping figures on the couch, curled up together.
"Is that Koushirou-san and Miyako-san?" Hikari asked in surprise.
Daisuke turned on the light. It was still dark since the sun hadn't even come up yet. After the lights were turned on, they all got a better look at the two on the couch. It was indeed Koushirou, holding Miyako in his arms. The two didn't even stir when Daisuke put the lights on.
"They're an item?" Takeru asked, still surprised at what he was seeing.
"This is a total surprise," Sora gasped. She then muttered, "Well, sort of."
"I guess it was bound to happen," Hikari said.
Tai couldn't hold in his laughs. He had to say something. He stepped up to the couch and spoke a bit loudly to wake the two up.
"Rise and shine, lovebirds!" Taichi mocked with a loud, boisterous laugh.
Izzy awoke first, and saw who had awakened him.
"Taichi-san, what's the big idea!" he asked, annoyed over the fact that he had been awakened in such a way.
"Koushirou," Taichi started slyly, "you thought you could hide it from everyone?"
Izzy shrugged and saw that everyone was staring at him.
"What are you talking about?" he asked in puzzlement.
"Why didn't you tell us that you were in a relationship with Miyako?"
"Huh? A relationship?"
The boy looked to his side and realized, finally, that he was holding on to Miyako. The girl woke next and realized that she was in Izzy's arms and that everyone was staring at her. She turned red from embarrassment and so did Izzy. Tai started to tease Izzy and Miyako and Yamato soon joined in along with Takeru and Daisuke. They all started to sing a familiar taunt...
"Miyako and Koushi, sittin' in a tree..." Yamato and Taichi started.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G..." Takeru and Daisuke continued.
"First comes love..." Taichi sang.
"...then comes marriage," Daisuke continued.
"Here comes Koushi with the baby carriage!" Takeru and Yamato finished up.
The four boys started to laugh. Kari shook her head and Sora rolled her eyes at the way the four boys were acting. Ken just stood there.
"Hey, stop saying that!" Koushirou ordered, his face still a bit red.
Miyako got up quickly, staring at Izzy blushing ferociously. She had finally realized that she had been lying on Izzy all night, the thought didn't bother her at all, but instead of showing maybe understanding, in the sense that all that had happened was accidental and obliviously done, she showed anger. She didn't know why, but since everyone was there, she was just embarrassed.
"How dare you try to take advantage of me!"
Everyone stopped taunting and teasing and looked over in Miyako's direction, surprised at her tone...
"Take advantage of you?" Koushirou asked in surprise. The surprise then soon turned to anger at the accusation. "I wouldn't bother!"
"Sure you wouldn't," Miyako retorted. "Why else would you hold me like that! You were trying something!"
"I was not! You were, um, making the moves on me!"
"I was not! Why would I bother trying to get with somebody like you when there are decent people around!?"
"The same applies to you, I wouldn't want someone like you, either!"
"You'd probably rather date your computer than a real human being, you computer geek pipsqueak!" Miyako argued back, folding her arms.
"Hey, only Mimi is allowed to call me that!"
"Who cares if she does or if I do, it's true! You...you...pervert! How dare you put your hands all over me while I'm asleep and most vulnerable!"
Right now, Izzy was so angry that he was trying to come up with something to counter what Miyako had just said to him.
"There's nothing there...you're nothing but a scrawny, food deprived, four-eyed boy chasing geek!"
Before Miyako could say anything else, Sora broke the two away from each other to avoid any more conflict.
"That is enough!" she shouted. "I don't know what's going on, but stop it anyway. We have a flight to catch, and---"
"Forget it, I'm not going," Koushirou interrupted.
"Neither am I!"
"Oh no you're not! If you're staying, then I'm going!"
"No way, I want to go!"
"Why don't you just stay home?"
"Because I want to see Mimi!"
"So do I!"
"She's my friend!"
"She's my friend too, and I've known her longer than you have and we actually had the same classes together before she moved to America!"
"But she never associated with you until the Digital World stuff, am I right?"
"So what, I still knew her longer than you!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Yamato shouted, growing annoyed with the both of them. "Get yourselves ready, now! Both of you are going and that's final! We're already down two people, we don't want to lose another two. Think of how disappointed Mimi would be if you guys didn't show up!"
The two "hmmphed" and muttered, "Fine!"
/Flashback>
"That seemed kind of pointless," Mimi said with a sweat drop.
"We aren't finished yet," Sora sighed as she continued.
Flashback>
The group was now at the airport, boarding the plane and finding their seats according to their ticket numbers.
"You know, we have two extra seats now," Hikari reminded the others.
"And TK can take one of the extra seats, I'll sit next to you, Hikari-chan!" Daisuke smiled.
"What are you talking about?!" Takeru retorted. "I was going to sit beside her."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
Kari shook her head and wandered off to her seat, leaving the two bickering teens in the aisle. Izzy found his seat and remembered his fear. Miyako came up to him and sat down in the seat next to him without even realizing it.
Izzy was still a bit cross with her and made a smart remark...
"Sure you want to sit next to a pervert like me? I might feel you up or something."
This irritated Miyako terribly.
"I didn't see you sitting there! Why don't you move!"
"Me?!" the boy asked in surprise. "I was here first!"
"You just sat there to annoy me! My ticket specifically says that this seat is the one I am supposed to be seated in."
"And mine says the same thing; I'm supposed to be in the seat beside it."
"Well, I'm not sitting here beside you."
"You are quite capable of moving yourself, you know," Koushirou responded coldly. "I'll be fine here without you."
"Maybe I like the aisle seats!"
"I'm sure that one of the others wouldn't mind if you sat beside them. There are two extra seats available since Iori and Jou didn't come along, which is really tragic since they're much better company than you are."
"Like you're any better," Miyako argued. "You have the personality of wood!"
"Nice of you to notice," he replied cooly, giving her a smug smile. He then leaned over to her and whispered, "Who's the perv now?"
"How, how dare you accuse me of such a thing!" Miyako nearly stuttered. "I said you had the personality of wood! I wasn't thinking of anything else, nor was I looking!!"
The girl got so fed up with Izzy that she decided to move.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to see you go," Koushirou said, his voice filled with sarcasm and fake sympathy. "My ticket says that I am supposed to be a seat back. Oh dear, my mistake."
"Goodbye, I hope you whine and cry like a baby, scaredy cat!"
The girl then remembered something and a big grin spread across her face.
"Hey everyone," she shouted as loud as she could, "I wouldn't sit by the redhead over here. He'll probably end up wetting his pants since he's such a big fraidy cat! He has a fear of flying in planes!"
With that, the girl turned and walked off and took the extra seat, leaving Izzy with one embarrassed look on his face, which soon turned to anger. He was so mad at Miyako, he just couldn't think of anything to say. He just turned his attention towards the window and didn't utter another word.
Sora's seat was right next to Tai's and Matt's was right next to Izzy's; well, actually it would've been the exact seat Izzy was in. Yamato was supposed to have been seated by Miyako, but he took the one beside him anyway, the one Miyako would've sat in, if it weren't for Izzy. He wouldn't have sat there at all, if Sora hadn't made him. He was pretty much pleading with her to switch seats since Izzy was so edgy and that he wouldn't get edgy with someone like her, but Sora didn't want to take any chances either. Tai just smirked at his friend since he had to suffer by sitting beside Izzy.
"I would switch seats with you," Taichi started, "but you did steal that spot I wanted to sleep in last night."
"Aww, Tai! You know him better than I do! You knew him before your trip to the Digital World five years ago through Soccer!"
"Sorry, I think you two should get to know each other beter," Taichi nearly laughed.
Matt rolled his eyes and reluctantly took the seat next to Izzy...
Miyako sat by herself and Ken sat by Kari, who pretty much begged him to sit with her since she was embarrassed by both Takeru and Daisuke. They were still in the aisle arguing over who would sit by her. He was actually planning on sitting by Miyako until Kari started begging.
The two boys were now playing, the game of *Janken.
"Best two out of three!" Daisuke said.
TK nodded.
"Jan-ken Poi!" the two called out.
Both boys put out *guu.
"Again!" Takeru ordered.
"Jan-ken Poi!"
Once again, both threw out the same thing...
"I don't want anyone to know that I know them," Hikari said, shaking her head at the two. "Thanks for sitting beside me, Ichijouji-kun."
The boy looked back at Miyako who looked terribly upset. He really wanted to try and talk with her, but sighed.
"Sure thing, Hikari-san."
"Cheater!! You threw out paper and changed it to rock really fast since you saw I had scissors!" Takeru shouted at Daisuke.
"Did not, I'm no cheater!"
The two started accusing the other of cheating. All of the Odaiba Chosens sighed and shook their heads at the two, minus Miyako, who was in her own world, same with Izzy. Both were too preoccupied with their own problems to notice or even care.
The argument didn't last too long. A stewardess spoke over the microphone and asked the both of them to sit down and that they're the reason they weren't taking off. The two boys looked around and noticed that everyone had taken their seats and they were also getting some very displeased looks from the other passengers who were ready to go. The two boys turned red from embarrassment and went to take the leftover two seats. Since Miyako seemed kind of edgy, they took the seats behind her, which would've been for Iori and Jou if they were there. The plane then took off...
/Flashback>
"Gosh, that's awful," Mimi frowned. "But what I don't understand is why the two started arguing to begin with."
"My guess is that Miyako was embarrassed," Sora said. "She technically started the argument with her accusations."
"We have to cheer them up somehow," Mimi said, determined to get the two to have a good time.
"Somebody needs to," Yamato muttered. "I don't have the patience to deal with people who act like that."
"Well, I was planning for us all to have a beach party tonight, and then sightsee tomorrow."
"Cool! I promised to pick up a souvenir for Iori. If we go sightseeing tomorrow, I'll be able to."
"Sure thing, Daisuke," Mimi smiled. "But first, let's get you all settled in.
The girl led them into the beach house and showed them where they all would be staying...
***********************************
Note: You all haven't seen one of these in a while from me, huh? Well, for the record, Janken is the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Guu = Stone
Choki = Scissors
Paa = Paper.
The phrase, "Jan-ken Poi!" is just the phrase you use when you play...sorta like here, we say, "Rock, Paper, Scissor!"
