Eternal Memories

Chapter 2

Fate Intervenes

As Kouji, Kouichi, and Izumi were searching for Takuya, they failed to notice the weather outside, that the storm was getting worse by the minute.

Then as if by fate, a woman announced over the intercom,

"Attention all travelers, due to the intensity of the storm, all flights will be cancelled. Tomorrow, if the storm continues, flights will continue to be cancelled. If not, flights will return as scheduled but will probably be deleted for a while. Thank you!"

After a few seconds, Izumi smiled at herself. 'Yes! Thank you God for giving me time to spend with Takuya!" At the same moment, Kouji and Kouichi smirked at each other. They both knew that now they could proceed with their plan because of the extra time they had.

***

After an hour, the three friends found Takuya with his parents and brother, Shinya.

"Hello Mr. Kanbara!" They said respectfully bowing.

"Hey kids! I guess you heard the announcement huh? And you want to talk to Takuya right?" Takuya's dad guessed laughing.

"Yeah.. heh heh" Izumi said embarrassed.

"Well then we'll go get our suitcases and we'll be in the van waiting for you, Takuya." Mrs. Kanbara said smiling.

"Thanks Mom!" Takuya said grinning.

"Hey guys! Sorry we're late! Traffic problems." Junpei said running up to them and then catching his breath.

"Who's 'we?'" Kouji asked confused.

"Me of course! Onii-chan!" Tomoko appeared behind Junpei jumping onto Takuya making him fall back into the seats.

"Whooooooooa!!!!!!!!" Takuya said pulling whoever he was closest to. In this case, it was Izumi. (puhahaha! :])

Izumi screamed as she fell on top of Takuya who was a little dizzy from his fall.

They both looked each other and blushed madly.

Izumi got up and brushed her clothes and pulled Takuya up.

The others were laughing so hard they fell on the floor, holding their stomachs. Tomoko was crying and Junpei was holding his stomach and crying in pain.

"Oh... man..." Kouichi managed to say between laughs. "I... haven't... laughed... like this in... ages!

By this time, Takuya and Izumi were getting really pissed. They both gave them a threatening glare and the others stopped laughing but couldn't help smiling.

They all sat down and talked about what's happened to them all this time.

"Hey Tomoko! How's your life been?" Takuya said cheerfully. "Any bullies bothering you still?" he mocked.

"Haha very funny, but no of course not! Life's been great!" Tomoko said still chuckling from the fall.

"Anyway guys. Let's go back to my house and have a sleepover cause it's gonna be my last night here in Shibuya afterall." Takuya suggested.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed.

"You guys go to the car and wait for me! I gotta go get the time of my flight for tomorrow." Takuya said. "Any volunteers want to come with me?"

"I'll go! Since you are a klutz, you'll need help getting there!" Izumi said mockingly.

"Very funny! Fine! Let's go! See ya later guys!" Takuya waved.

Takuya and Izumi walked up to a clerk.

"May I help you?" the red-headed clerk asked.

"Yes. I want to know what time my flight is if the storm doesn't continue."

"Name?"

"Takuya Kanbara."

"Ahh... I see. A flight for four, correct?"

"Yes m'am."

"Your flight time is 9:30."

"Thank you!"

"Have a nice evening!" The clerk said smiling.

"Izumi? Are you okay? You seem a little quiet..." Takuya asked concerned.

Izumi smiled as she looked into his chocolate brown eyes and nodded. Izumi loved Takuya for many reasons and one of them being, always caring about the well-being of others except for himself.

Takuya was obviously not convinced after knowing Izumi for so long.

"Are you sure? Does this have anything to do with the fact that I'm leaving tomorrow night?" Takuya asked.

"No of course not!" Izumi reassured him. "Now come on! The others are waiting for us in the car!" Izumi pulled Takuya along outside.

Takuya still felt there was something bothering his best friend, but just shrugged the feeling off and followed her.

On the way, the gang except for Takuya, called their parents that they were going to sleep over at Takuya's house and told them that they were gonna be dropped of to pack their stuff and asked later if Mr. Kanbrara.

Takuya sat in the van with Tomoko in the middle back. He thought, 'I wonder if Izumi loves me the way I love her... Probably not... Guess she likes Kouji for being the supposed "cool guy" of our group. Oh well... I tried.' Takuya sighed sadly. But somehow he had a strange feeling that Izumi only liked Kouji nothing but a friend.

Izumi also was once again thinking about how she could spend more time with the one she truly loved but still couldn't figure out how.

She sighed and turned to Kouji and Kouichi to see they were whispering with Junpei about something. She looked at them suspiciously but Kouichi who noticed this just smiled.

Kouichi, Kouji, Tomoko, and Junpei were dropped off while Izumi decided to go home with Takuya. She stayed instead of going home because after being Takuya's best friend ever since they were first graders, she slept over at his house many times. Therefore her parents decided to leave some clothes over there in case she wanted to sleep over with no warning. (smart huh? Haha)

It was three o'clock in the afternoon but the storm had shrunk a mere sprinkle.

Izumi, Takuya, and his family came home and left their luggage near the doorway so that they could be ready for the next day.

Takuya's parents told him that they would go out to dinner and that Izumi and he could do anything they wanted as long as it was only themselves and no one else.

After they left, Takuya and Izumi went into his room. Takuya lied down on his bed and put his hands behind his head watching Izumi with interest.

"Wow Takuya! I'm impressed!" Izumi said breaking the silence.

"What? W-why?" Takuya asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You actually have cleaned up in here! You have never cleaned up your room before! It's always been a mess with clothes everywhere!" Izumi laughed.

"Well... I decided to be a neat person! Is there a problem with that?" Takuya frowned.

Izumi smiled, "Of course not! Haha"

Then Takuya asked THE QUESTION, "What do you want to do?"

"How about we go outside and play in the rain? It might be fun!" Izumi suggested.

"Okay I guess." Takuya shrugged.

They both walked outside and danced in the rain. After being completely wet, they both looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Takuya thought '*sighes* She has never looked any lovelier..."

Izumi thought 'Oh my! Takuya looks so hot..." *ROFL*

After an hour outside, they could see the sprinkle had turned into once again, a storm.

Takuya opened the door and led the shivering Izumi inside.

He got her and himself a blanket. They cuddled up and watched a movie on tv. (aww how cute!)

Izumi laid her head on his chest and fell asleep. Takuya who was tired from all the dancing, fell asleep laying his head on her head.

***

Kouji and Kouichi had arrived just in time. It was about seven o' clock in the evening when Kouji rang the bell like twenty times.

Since Kouji was Takuya's best friend, Takuya had given him a spare key so that he come over when he wanted to.

Kouji unlocked the door and went in after Kouichi. Kouichi called for Takuya many times but couldn't find anyone at home. Then he walked into the living room and saw Takuya and Izumi sleeping on the couch together.

"Kouji! Come here!!" Kouichi whispered.

"Where are you?" Kouji shouted.

"Sshh! I'm in the living room! Kouichi whispered back. "I found Takuya! And he's not alone!

"What are you talking about?" Kouji asked confused again. "OMG!"

"Hahaha! Good thing I brought a camera huh?" Kouichi chuckled.

He took a picture of Takuya and Izumi sleeping together on the couch.

Right at that moment, Junpei and Tomoko came in and heard something in the living room.

"Hey you guys! The door was open so we came in... What are you looking at?" Tomoko asked. He looked where Kouji had pointed and there they were.

"Hahaha!" Junpei laughed loudly. "It looks like they-"

Before he could finish, the others covered his mouth because Takuya and Izumi were waking up. They both looked confused at their friends who were standing in front of them holding back the urge to laugh.

"What are you guys *yawns* doing here so soon?" Takuya looked around. He blushed a bright red color and so did Izumi when they realized where they were.

They both fell off the couch when they saw each other and landed on the floor. Their friends screamed with laughter as Izumi and Takuya recovered.

***

The gang sat around the fireplace reminiscing about old times in the Digital World. They remembered all the Digimon friends they had made and the funny moments they experienced traveling along with Bokomon, the keeper of the book and Neemon, the keeper of his pants.

After Takuya and Kouji cooked the food, everyone sat around the table and said grace.

Junpei looked suspiciously at Takuya and then stared back at the food, "Are you sure this is edible?"

"Duh! This tastes great!" Tomoko said joyfully chowing down everything he could get his little hands on.

"Slow down Tomoko! Don't your parents let you eat at your house?" Takuya laughed.

"Of course! Hey! I'm a growing kid! Tomoko grinned.

After dinner, Takuya took the gang up to their rooms. Izumi and Tomoko would share one room together and Kouji, Kouichi, and Junpei would share the other since Takuya was going to sleep in his room.

They all took showers and brushed their teeth and then went into their rooms to sleep.

Tomoko knew tomorrow would be a great day even thought his "brother" was leaving. He remembered the plan to get Izumi and Takuya together.

*flashback*

"Tommy!" Kouichi said whispering after Takuya and Izumi had left to get his flight time.

"You and Junpei will help up get them together if it's the last thing we do before Takuya leaves!" You WILL help, right Junpei? Kouji said giving Junpei a death glare.

"Okay Okay Geez! But how are we going to do it?" Junpei said angrily. He did not really like Izumi anymore because he already had another girl that he loved.

"I've got it!" Kouichi exclaimed.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Kouichi continued "We'll pair them up tomorrow when we go to the Spring Festival!"

"Great idea bro! But we have to make sure Takuya's parents will let us go!" Kouji said.

"Great then it's decided!" Tomoko said excited.

*end of flashback*

The next morning, Tomoko suggested that they all go to the Spring Festival.

"Yeah! That sounds fun! Takuya smiled.

His parents agreed but they said he and his friends would have to watch Tomoko while they watched Shinya.

Everyone went to their rooms to change.

Izumi decided to wear a light pink tanktop with a pastel striped scarf with a denim skirt and blue pumas. She wore simple makeup- lipgloss, eyeliner, and blush. Then Izumi tied her hair into a ponytail with a lavender butterfly rubberband and wore a pink and lavender necklace that said wind and her symbol.

Takuya wore his red jacket, a pair of jeans, and a yellow shirt that had a picture of a dragon on it. He wore his goggles and tan hat.

Everyone met up in the living room and got their cash from Takuya's dad. Then they climbed into the van and drove to the Festival.
