There might be slight OOC on Takuya's and Junpei's parts, but you have to remember they got older, and attitudes changed, etc.
Disclaimer - I do not own Digimon, no matter how many pounds of candy I send to Toei everyday with a "Please let me own Digimon" card. *sniff*.

*KOUJI'S P.O.V*
That hurt so much inside, walking away from someone who needed just a few extra seconds to feel better, and there I was, walking away. I could feel her gaze on the back of my head. I wanted so much to turn around and come back to her and at least talk of what happened and everything else that happened in the long pause in which I have become soulless by the goddamn Rose Mark.
Sometimes, it felt like a good deal, losing all feelings for the training and power I got from the Mark. But this wasn't one of those times.
My cell phone rang. I went to an empty classroom, and took the call.
"Well, Minamoto. Gotten familiar with the surroundings yet? You need to know where how to use everything there to your advantage when you swoop in for your kill," the metallic voice of Ferran-sama filled my ear. I sighed inwardly.
"Yes, I'm comfortable with everything here. But I do have one problem. It would help very much if I knew who the target was. I could study them and learn about them before I attack. That would give me a huge upper hand," I replied.
"All in due time, all in due time. And I'm confident in your abilities to kill every single person in there without knowing anything at all about them. But whereas I am not allowed to give you the name of the target yet, I'm supposed to explain the reason for this mission."
*Like it makes a difference...if I don't do it, I get killed. If I do actually do it, I live,* I thought to myself.
"She's the daughter of Gaeddes Rygo. You remember him, I believe. After all, you DID kill him. That filthy traitor...as you know, the Rose Mark does not forgive mistakes. Retribution is required for all members of the family."
"Goddamn...well...alright. Inform me on the name of the target as soon as possible." I said, mentally wishing that Farran would drop dead.
"Excellent. I knew you'd agree, Kouji-san," and she hung up.
*Well, I'm basically gonna kill a defenseless girl for something she didn't do. Very honorable, Minamoto. This will REALLY show off your skills,* I thought to myself sarcastically. But I knew I had to do this. I sighed once again, and walked out of the classroom.
*IZUMI'S P.O.V*
I had half a mind to run after him. But what was the point? He'd just blow me off as usual.
I stood up and went to the bathroom to compose myself. *What happened to Kouji? If only me and him could just talk, then everything would be OK...but he doesn't care anymore, he just...* I sighed.
*THIRD PERSON P.O.V*
"Kimura Kouichi, isn't it? Rank 1A, twenty nine kills, thirteen of which came from the Rose Mark. Impressive," a man sitting at an office desk said slowly. Another man clad in black bowed at the compliment.
"I suppose I've received another mission?" he asked.
"Intelligent too...very nice. Yes, you do have another mission. Considering your perfect record against the Rose Mark, we send you once again to kill one of it's operatives. You are to travel to Frimako University, where we know a Rose Mark assassin is ready to kill the daughter of that one Rose Mark traitor who worked for us. you are to kill the assassin. Hardly matters if he gets to the girl, as she is of no importance to us. But do not fail."
Kouichi chuckled. "No problem, I'm on my way immediately."
"Yes, you should be. Dont fail the Scorpion Mark."
*KOUJI'S P.O.V*
3 days later, I still haven't gotten a call from the Mark yet. I took my classes as a normal student would, thankfully not meeting up with Takuya or Izumi. I isolated myself from all the other people who offered hands of friendship. Don't need to befriend a potential target.
At the hotel I was staying in close to the university, I finally received the call I've been waiting for.
"The name of your target is..." Farran-sama said.
*Who could it be?" I thought to myself for the fiftieth time in two seconds.
"Someone named Orimoto Izumi."
