Chapter 11: Is it true?
~Kouji's POV~
*Day before the ball*
I'm glad the battle was over a while ago. For the last week we've been
hanging out with Asia, skating, swimming, playing sports, and just
chilling.
Now it was the day before the ball. We're just watching a movie. It's action/adventure. Compared to what we went through it's not much.
"This movie is making me sick." Takuya said.
"May I remind you, you wanted to watch it," Asia said. She turned off the TV. "What do you guys want to do now?"
"I know! Let's play truth or dare."
"Alright"
"I'm in."
"Fine I'll play, only because-"
"Alright let's play," Takuya said literally bouncing, "Kouji, truth or dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss Asia."
"What?!" Asia and I exclaimed.
"I'm not-"
"You said dare so you have to."
"No"
"Not in your life boy."
"Fine!" I said giving in.
"K!" Takuya exclaimed.
I bent on one knee and kissed her hand. Takuya is soo dead.
"Well it's not as bad as I thought it would be," Asia joked.
"Dud that was lame. You were suppose to kiss her on the-"
"You didn't say where I had to kiss her."
"You're no fun."
~Asia's POV~ I still remember the last time I played truth or dare. It was at Chau's house and it was like you regular party. Any way when we were playing truth or dare a so called friend dared me to kiss Sergio. His reaction was, "Oh hell no." We tried every guy in the room. I knew those people since we were in kindergarten and they still neglected me. Only one guy would agree. His name was Calvin and I barely knew him.
To make matters worse when Chau was dared to kiss Sergio he was smiling. Of course I never said anything. But it really did hurt. For then on I swore never to play truth or dare again. Guess I broke that promise to myself today.
*the next day* ~Kouji's POV~ I leaning agents a wall unlike J.P. and Takuya who look really stiff. I can't blame them, these suits are uncomfortable.
Then Asia walked down the stairs. Her dress was a two piece and an aquamarine color. Before the party she told me she didn't wear dresses. Strings of pearls, rubies, and emeralds were wound into her hair. I wonder if that's heavy, having jewels in her hair like that. She wore a round sapphire necklace surrounded by diamonds. A matching bracelet caught the light.
She looked like your average rich girl. But looks can be deceiving. I met her half way across the ballroom and offered her a hand. Amazingly she accepted.
"Normally I would have scoffed at a guy if he did that. But this time these shoes are killing me. High heels are a curse, honestly." She mumbled.
I smiled. I pulled out her chair. When she sat she squirmed. That's how I felt uncomfortable. I thought she'd be use to it having known she's gone to a few parties. Guess not.
"Isn't that thing heavy on your head?" I joked.
"It was, but a put a spell on it. Now it's as light as a feather," she winked at me.
"Out of curiosity why did you have soo many people come help us? I understand why the fairies were there but nothing else." Howard built the wooden Devimon and the others healed Asia when we got back to the real world.
The others joined us.
"Oh, well who do you think was destroying the followers of the Devimon? I mean the others made the progress a whole lot easier. Athena helped me plan how the plan would work. Ares was causing chaos from Olympus."
"Oh."
"Soo."
"You look err. great."
"Yeah right," she scoffed. I smiled. Her sister came over.
"Wow, you're all dressed up Asia. But you're not wearing makeup," her sister commented.
"I was created beautiful. I don't need to make myself more radiant. You on the other hand, aren't as gorgeous as me. That's why you're wearing make up."
"Whatever" I watched her sister glide toward a bunch of guys.
"She flirts way too much and she doesn't even know she's doing it." Now a guy came over to join us.
"Hi Asia."
"Hi," she said in a disgusted voice.
"So who's your friend?" the boy asked half smirking. Well his personality fitted how he looked. He had a pointed, pale face; blond hair, actually it almost matched his skin; and ice cold, blue eyes.
"This is Kouji. Kouji, this is Nick." She was frowning deeply and her eyes had a blue flame. If you didn't figure it out, it was obvious she hated this guy. She gave me a meaningful look of 'get me out of here.'
Before I could say anything, Nick said, "Care to dance with me?" He had a evil look on his face. I would have sworn he'd sprout fangs by now.
"Sorry?" Asia said.
"I already asked her," I said. Asia beamed at me.
"But she's my girl friend," Nick stated. He put his arm around her. Her reaction was grabbing his earlobe.
"Now get this straight. I despise you. I would never date you, you foul jerk. Now get your arm off me or I'll twist it into a pretzel," she hissed at him dangerously but quietly.
He removed his arm slowly. "I'd spend as much time as I could with her Jap boy. She's leaving you in a few weeks." Then he turned and stomped off.
"I turned to Asia. "Is it true? You're leaving?"
"Yeah in a month or so. But spoiled brat over there doesn't know about the digital world. We can always meet there. I want to be with you as long as possible. You're the only person who truly understands me."
"Where are you moving?"
"America. I'm soo sorry you found out like this."
"Yeah"
"Please understand."
"I do. I always move around. But it hurts to leave people."
"But we can always meet each other in the digital world. I'll show you a place where we can meet."
"Alright." I guess it makes her leaving easier know I can see her in the digital world. "So would you care to dance?"
"Alright" So we danced the night away. That was until dinner arrived. Takuya and J.P. were really pigging out. I wonder where all that food goes.
*Asia's room* "Anytime you want to visit me in the digital world speak into this crystal ball." She handed me this glass ball the size of a baby's fist. "It sends a message to my mind. Be sure to speak clearly."
"OK"
"This is the place I want to show you in the digital world. Digiport open." We were sucked into the bottom of a valley and before us was a house. It was pearly white and had a backyard blooming with flowers.
"Wow, it's great."
"We better go back. I have a feeling Takuya's up to something and I don't want to find my house in ruins." So we went back to the real world.
I laid awake that night. Takuya and J.P. were snoring. Like everyone else I was spending the night at Asia's house.
I know exactly why I'm awake. Someone else was leaving my life, someone that ment a lot to me. The person that understood me. It hurt the way I found out. She eased my pain by showing me a place in the digital world. So why am I still awake?
I rolled over and fell into. a laundry basket!? I jumped out and went back on the water bed to sleep.
Now it was the day before the ball. We're just watching a movie. It's action/adventure. Compared to what we went through it's not much.
"This movie is making me sick." Takuya said.
"May I remind you, you wanted to watch it," Asia said. She turned off the TV. "What do you guys want to do now?"
"I know! Let's play truth or dare."
"Alright"
