If however, I did own those companies, characters like Daisuke and Junpei would be tortured… heehee ^.^ I know I'm so boring.. the fact I use the same disclamer every time and the fact I never do character disclaimers really, really sucks!! -_-
A\N: Whoa, I think this might be long!
Last paragraph from the last chapter:
Takuya felt a bit of anger surge through his veins as he got up. He heard his cell phone ring and looked down at the display. It was Junpei.
Junpei must have seen the reporters and wanted to report further news to him. He gripped his cell phone and answered it.
"Moshi moshi?" he answered gruffly.
"Yeah Takuya, guess you found out. We're having a formal here on Wednesday and I was thinking why don't you send Izumi-chan a postcard or letter? You have a perfectly innocent motive to! Then you can tell her how you feel! Maybe she'll change her mind because I still remember our first day in the digital world, she really liked you Takuya! I have her address if you want it." Rambled Junpei enthusiastically.
"Junpei, why can't I seem to get it through your head that I don't like Izumi Orimoto!?" Takuya lost his temper and practically screamed at Junpei and ended the call. Takuya's cousins, aunt, uncle and father looked at him surprised. Takuya quickly came to his senses,
"Er, Gomen, gomen." He sheepishly replied.
Oki shook her eleven-year-old head as if she knew exactly what was going on and she pulled Takuya and Makoto out of the apartment and dragged them along with her.
"Mom, dad, we'll be back by noon!"
"Oki, where on earth are you taking us? And why am I coming along?" asked Makoto impatiently.
"We are going to give Takuya some lessons in girls and behaving like a gentleman, and you are going to help me." Oki confidently responded.
"Oh. I'M GOING TO WHAT!?" screamed Makoto, taken aback.
"You're going to help me change Takuya's mind if you don't want me to tell you otherwise." Commanded Oki.
"Uh, Oki, why am I going to learn about girls and being a gentleman?" Takuya said apparently now very confused and dumbfounded.
"Because it's obvious to any girl in their right mind that you do like Izumi Orimoto and she probably likes you as well and would like you even better if you could act humanly." Responded Oki, apparently not easily beaten.
Makoto groaned. "Oki! Don't meddle in our cousin's life and bring me with you as well!" complained Makoto.
"Shut up or I'll tell mom and dad about Kuen."
"Kuen?" * sweatdrops Takuya *
"Yes, Kuen, Makoto's Chinese girlfriend." Stated Oki, shutting Makoto up.
"Oh, I see," Grinned Takuya, nervously "So where are we going?"
"To a park."
"But Oki! There's always tons of people at all the parks in Hong Kong!"
"So be it! But we are going to have these lessons every other day so Takuya can win Izumi from that Ryo guy! You do want your cousin to succeed, don't you?" Oki questions her brother.
"Yes, yes. Okay, whatever."
"What about me, don't I get a say? You guys are wasting your time. I don't like Izumi! It's as plain as simple as that." Takuya said impatiently.
"Yes you do. It's a guy thing. It's quite simple you see. Psychologically speaking, your brain says you don't like her because…"
"SHUT UP, OKI!" yelled Takuya and Makoto in unison.
"Okay! Were here anyway. Today's first lesson. Learning to make conversation with a female."
So thus begins the lessons Oki gave to Takuya and Makoto every other day but Meanwhile back in Japan…
Ami and Izumi were on free time so they decided to walk out to the nice lake to watch the sunset and cool their feet. When they were walking on the path, Ryo came up behind Izumi.
"Do you mind , Ami, If I talk to Izumi for just a moment?" Ryo asked politely.
"Not at all Ryo." Giggled Ami as she dropped back to let Izumi and Ryo be alone. Izumi pleaded Ami with her eyes but Ami just evilly grinned.
"So, Ryo, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Oh, I was just wondering since you seem to be such an agreeable person, if you wanted to go to the little semi-formal on Wednesday night." Ryo slyly asked.
Izumi was taken aback. "Oh, wow, but I have nothing I could wear!" Izumi quickly said thinking of an excuse.
"Don't be silly, Izumi, your personality and smile out shine and old outfit! I'll wait by your cabin at six, okay?" Ryo grinned.
"Uh, sure! See you around!" Izumi replied and blushed hard.
As soon as Ami caught up with Izumi, she gushed.
"So, he asked you out to the formal, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did. How did you know? And to think I have to survive a week more o your teasing!"
"I know because, well, Ichiro asked me too." Blushed Ami.
"Aww, isn't that sweet?" laughed Izumi.
"And what about Ryo? Last one to the dock likes Ryo!" and as soon as she said that ,Ami started running.
"Hey! Wait up! No fair! You know you run faster than me!"
Later in the cabin, when the girls got back from the dock, Izumi wondered aloud.
"Hmm, what should I wear? I only have my chiffron dress and my lavendar one here," Pondered Izumi as she took the two dresses and put them over her in the mirror. "I think I wear lavendar, it looks much better on me. And should I do my hair low, or high?" Izumi threw the dresses onto her bed and played with her hair. "I'm definitely leaving it low. Now as to shoes…"
"Listen to you Izumi! You are so in love! Even I'm not worried about something that's only two days away!" laughed Ami.
"I don't like him! I just happen to like his personality!" defended Izumi.
"As well as his eyes and smile!" added Ami.
"Well it's not like you don't' like Ichiro!" attacked Izumi.
"Is it really that obvious?" questioned Ami.
"Does looking dreamy when Ichiro smiles at you count?" smirked Izumi.
"Okay, okay fine! So you like Ryo and I like Ichiro!"
"No!" refused Izumi and another pillow fight began.
That night, Izumi drew the curtains to the window by her bed. She looked up at the calm and peaceful stars in the night sky. Stars she couldn't see in the bright lights of the city skyline. For the first time she thought to herself clearly.
"Ryo has just swept me off his feet, but is he my heart's desire?" she whispered to herself.
Her mind said "he is absolutely the kindest, handsomest boy in the entire camp."
But her heart begged to differ.
Will Izumi confront her heart or listen to her mind?
A/N: I don't know what to say other than R&R!
