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*.

*KOUCHI'S P.O.V.*
"Here you are, Kouchi-san. I hope you enjoy your stay here," the hotel attendant backed out of the room with a slight bow.
Ah, this was the life. An all-expense paid trip sponsored by the Scorpion Mark. Add in another kill, and what else could ever be this good?
I checked out my suite. Two white leather couches stood around the fairly large room, next to two black leather laZ-Boys. A refrigirator stood in the kitchen part of the room, with a liquor cabinet on the tiled counter-top next to it. A hallway went of to the bedroom, I supposed.
My cell phone rang. I checked for any cameras or sound recording devices that might be hidden in the room, and when I was satisfied there weren't any, took the call.
"We've obtained the name of your target," a raspy male voice said.
"Who is it?" I asked uncaringly, knowing full well I could take on just about anyone with no problems. And I have dispatched thirteen Rose Mark agents, only one offered decent resistance.
"His name is Minamoto. Kouji Minamoto." I blanched. My mind whirred. My knees felt whobbly and weak. My eyelids shut and opened over and over. Perspiration dripped down the sides of my face. I dropped down heavily onto one of the couches.
Here I was faced with the choice that would break my life either way. This was my trap. No matter what I chose here, I'd get hurt. But I'm not heartless. I merely do my duty. And I sure as hell wasn't doing this. Not again, not ever, not since the Digital World when I was possessed. I had made up my mind.
"Go to hell!" I yelled into the phone as loudly as I could. "And screw the Scorpion Mark, I am NOT friggin doing this!"
"Very well, Kimura. I suppose this is your final decision?"
"Yes, now go shove it up your ass! I'm not afraid of you or your friggin Mark!" I continued yelling, and hoped that the walls were sound-proof.
"Oh, you soon will be," the voice ceased talking and hung up.
Damn.
There goes my life.
*TAKUYA'S P.O.V.*
After that unsuccessful search for Izumi 3 days ago, I haven't seen her. I was pretty sure she was good in body, but maybe she was depressed over the whole Kouji thing. I was going to visit her soon...right after 3 more hours of class.
"Blah blah blah, and blah is a blah blah which blahs out to blah..." is the only thing I've heard from the teacher, which shows just how much attention I was paying. Ugh, forget this!
I stood up and left the classroom, receiving not as much as a look from anyone(A/N-before you guys say anything about this, this is college, and you can do that in college). I was heading straight for Izumi's.
*IZUMI'S P.O.V.*
For the last 3 days all I've done is sleep and try to forget about Kouji. It's much harder to do tha it sounds, unfortunately. Whenever I think of something, my mind pinpoints itself right back to Kouji and his i-dont-care attitude. The nerve of him!
I realized that this was bad, really bad. I had to go to the university or lose my dorm room. *That's it then, tomorrow I stop moping about this and go to class!* I decided.
Right then, a knock thundered on my door.
*KOUJI'S P.O.V.*
Oh joy. Oh freakin joy. There I was, sent to kill someone I really care about. Funny scenario, really. Me, the top-ranking assassin of the Rose Mark, pretending to be soulless because I will be weaker if I don't trying to kill the girl I'm acting soulless to.
"Farran-sama?" I talked in the phone.
"Yes? Do you have any questions?"
"Hmm..well...not really. But you see, I don't want to do it."
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that."
"I'll just repeat it again."
"Minamoto. Your future is with us, but we can also take it away from you. We can kill you within a few hours time, do you understand that? Are you sure this is how you want it to end?" Farran said with something like...concern in her voice.
"Hardly the end, but yes, I'm sure."
"Very well, Kouji Minamoto. You are stripped of your rank, and you are no longer one of the Rose Mark. Out of sheer respect and appreciation of what you did for us, you are given 3 days to run and hide. Goodbye, and God be with you when you are dead," and thus, she hung up.
Well, 72 hours to live.
Yeah, right.
The one good thing out of it is that I'm not bound to being so...like I was before. I decided to go to the university and apologize. Plus learn. It's always been my wish to die knowing as much as I could.
Yep, I'm screwed.
*************************************************************
A/N - Whoo!!! What will happen once the Scorpion Mark and Rose Mark start their chase on the two assassins? Will their paths cross in the next few days? What happens between Izumi and Kouji when he can apologize and explain his behavior? Find out in the next chapter!
