Hooray! I got 6 more reviews in like 2 days!! Anyways hey everyone! In this
chapter, Takuya and Izumi are going to be "let go" by their present
boyfriend/girlfriend. "Dealing With Love" should be coming out by next
week. I have to finish "Eternal Memories" and "My Love For You" soon
because I'm starting 9th grade soon and I probably won't have a lot time to
write my stories. So expect a Rukato soon and HOPEFULLY a Daikari in two
weeks.
Thanks to ALL the fanfics that I've read about Rukato and Daikari, I've become a better writer. Stories I would definitely recommend to all Rukato fans are: The "Tamers Forever" series by Daneel Rush and "Tamers Forever: The Lost Tamer" by Digidestined of Courage.
Disclaimer: I STILL DONT OWN DIGIMON MUCH TO MY DISPLEASE.
P.S. I still need those votes on the songs for the SEQUEL, PEOPLE!!
P.P.S. I forgot to mention this, all the couple stories will be connected together. For example, I mean, the Daikari story is has actually taken place before this one even though Takumi was first. Rukato will be between Daikari and Takumi, including some stuff Takuya went through in America. And last but not least, Taiora, takes place last after Takuya leaves the U.S.
Enjoy!! ^^

"Eternal Memories"
Chapter 9
GOOD-BYE AMERICA, HELLO JAPAN!
Months have past since the Spring Formal and the situation that Mika discovered about Takuya was still in the back of her mind. She knew that she would have to break up with him soon.
Mika wondered. 'I wonder when I should break up with Takuya. I know I have to do it soon because he'll be leaving today. Oh well. It's been a memorable year and of course he's won us the championship! *giggles* I can't help but wonder somehow that Takato and Rika have something to do with this. I just have this feeling. After all, my two best friends are leaving afterwards.'
Mika crawled out of bed and continued toward her closet to get ready for school.
***
Takuya woke up and was excited that today was the last day of school and that he could leave America for Japan. He knew also that today was suppose to be the day he would break up with Mika and explain to her why. After all, tomorrow was his last day in America and he still had to buy some gifts for his friends back in Japan, including Takato and Rika. He had planned to ask Mika to help pick for the girls and that he would pick out for the guys. That meant four for the girls and six for the guys.
Takuya got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the last day of school.
***
Takuya met up with Takato as usual and talked about normal everyday things. On the way, they met up with Mika.
Takuya greeted his girlfriend. "Hey Mika!"
She gave him a peck and greeted Takato. '*sighs* That's probably the last kiss I'll ever get from him.'
Takato smiled. "Good morning Mika!" 'He sensed that Mika was nervous about something. And he knew what she was thinking about already.'
"Mika?" Takuya asked.
Mika: Yeah?
Takuya: "Can you help me pick some gifts for my friends back in Japan? You pick the gifts for the girls of course!"
Mika smiled. "Okay sure."
Takuya kissed her. "Thanks! You're the best!"
Mika blushed lightly.
Takato laughed. "Come on you two lovebirds! We're going to be late for homeroom!"
The best friends laughed and ran off towards the school.
***
After school, Takuya met up with Mika and Takato to head to the mall. After saying good-bye to all his fellow classmates, teachers, and other friends, he was tired. He never knew that he knew so many people. He chuckled. It was probably because of his popularity. He walked to the tree where he and his friends usually met.
Mika, Erin & Takato: "Hey Takuya! It's about time you showed up!"
Takuya grinned. "Hardee har har. Not my fault I'm so popular with the school."
The group laughed and walked to the mall talking about 9th grade memories.
Then before they knew it, they were at the mall. They walked in and began searching for the gifts.
Takato and Takuya separated from Mika and Erin to go look for presents for the guys while Mika and Erin searched for the girls.
***
The four went to Takuya's house after the mall, and went upstairs to his room to wrap them.
Since the girls knew that guys suck at wrapping presents neatly, they decided that they would wrap them while the guys placed them in color-coded bags. Blue for Davis, navy blue for Kouji, black for Kouichi, dark green for Takato (he doesn't know about it), yellow for Junpei, light green for Tomoki, lavender for Izumi, Light blue for Rika, Pink for Kari, and last, hot pink for Sakura.
Takuya sighed in relief. "Finally! We're done!"
Takato laughed. "Yeah! Good thing too! If I spent another dollar on a gift, I would gone bankrupted."
Everyone laughed in agreement.
"Hey! Let's go get ice cream! My treat!" Mika suggested.
Everyone jumped up in agreement and walked to the ice cream parlor together.
***
Afterwards, Takato and Erin left Takuya and Mika to enjoy their last evening together.
There was silence between the both as they watched the sunset. Mika preferred this silence to what she had to do but she had to go through with it.
Takuya/Mika: "Mika/Takuya!"
Both: "You go first."
Takuya sighed. "I'll go first."
"Umm. I think you know that I-I'm leaving right?"
Mika nodded.
Takuya: "I don't know how to say this. But. I-I-I have to b-break up with y- you because I'm kinda in love with someone else back in Japan."
Mika interrupted before he could continue. "I know."
Takuya was confused. "How do yo-"
Once again, she interrupted. "Because Takato told me. I asked him to because I felt that you were hiding something."
Takuya was a little bit mad. "Why didn't you just tell me? I could've just told you my secret. But I guess that if I was in your position, I would've done the same."
Mika nodded.
Takuya reached into his shirt and pulled out a locket. Mika gasped at the beautiful locket. It was silver heart locket. But she also noticed that it was split in half and wondered where was the other half.
Just then the answer came into mind. 'Izumi Orimoto.'
Mika said. "Does the other half belong to Izumi?"
Takuya nodded and looked down at his hands.
Mika smiled. "Even though I'm sad, I'm glad that you've found true love in this girl and I wish you the best of luck!"
Takuya was surprised but he knew Mika was a kind girl. "Thanks! I know this is the end of us but thank you for understanding."
He kissed her on the lips and took out a long rectangular box.
He smiled. "Open it."
Mika opened it and gasped again. Inside was a silver bracelet with heart charms on it.
She looked up at Takuya and smiled. "Thank you but why?"
Takuya replied. "It's a promise bracelet. When you feel you've found "the one," promise me that you'll call me and tell me about him. And that when you do, you'll take it off because then you won't need to remember me anymore because you've found the one you really love."
Mika laughed and cried. "Thank you so much." She put on the bracelet and hugged him.
Takuya and Mika stood up.
Takuya: "Well I guess this is good-bye. Come visit me sometime, okay? I want you to meet Izumi."
Mika nodded and responded. "Keep in touch with me, promise?"
Takuya nodded and hugged her one last time before waving her good-bye and walked home.
Mika waved tearfully and continued her way home.
***
The next day, Rika, Takato, Takuya, and their families boarded the plane and were getting ready to return home.
Once again, Takuya won the window seat and was sitting there daydreaming about how much him and Izumi had changed.
Takuya didn't notice that there was a bright light coming from his locket.
"Onii-chan?" Shinya asked.
Takuya replied. "Yeah, Shinya?"
"Why's your shirt glowing?"
"Wha?"
He looked at his chest and noticed that it was glowing. He smiled because he knew the reason why it was glowing so brightly.
***
(Back in Japan)
The last day of freshman year had already past and Izumi was happy because she knew Takuya would be returning home soon and into her arms.
She walked to her friends' meeting place as usual with her friends and was greeted by the guys.
"Wow! Can you believe it? It's already almost time for Takuya to return!" Davis exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone nodded and wondered how Takuya would look like and how he had changed.
For them, summer was almost already over and sophomore (10th) year was arriving already.
Kari nudged her best friend. "Betcha Izumi can't wait to see how Takuya looks, huh?"
Izumi blushed and everyone who noticed laughed.
Sakura asked. "Have you broken up with Brian yet?"
Izumi shook her head and looked down guiltily.
Kouji said warningly. "Izumi, you have to do it soon! Takuya will be back when school starts and you don't want to keep leading the poor guy on, do you?"
Izumi looked up at her friends- Kari, Sakura, Kouji, Davis, Kouichi, Junpei, and Tomoki. She could see that they agreed with Kouji.
"I know I know!! But I don't know how to break it to him. I like him and all, but I love Takuya." Izumi replied.
"Well. here's your chance now!" Sakura stated before turning to look at someone.
Everyone turned and saw that Brian was walking up to them.
"Well. Kouichi began. "We'll just be leaving now. See ya at the park, Izumi!"
Everyone waved good-bye and the girls wished her luck as they walked past Brian and greeting him.
Izumi tried her best to put on a fake smile. "Hey Brian!"
"Hi Izumi!" Brian replied not noticing her odd smile.
Brian: "I think we have some talking to do."
Izumi nodded and Brian sat down beside her.
Brian: "I'll go first."
"I think that we should start seeing other people again. I feel that you are hiding something from me and every time we kiss, I feel like you're imagining that you are kissing someone else."
Izumi was shocked by this insight but nodded.
Izumi: "You're right. I was hiding something. It's because long time ago before I met you, I-"
Brian interrupted. "I know what happened. Kari told me that day at the mall while you and Sakura were getting something to eat."
Izumi nodded in understanding and looked down guiltily.
Brian lifted her chin and continued. "It's not your fault. Whoever this Takuya is, I'm sure he is a great guy and that he's really lucky to have you. You're a great girl. You're smart, funny, beautiful, and kind. I wish you both the best of luck."
Brian stood up to leave while Izumi blushed at his comments. Suddenly, he felt a tug. He turned around and saw Izumi standing next to him.
Izumi smiled. "Thank you *starts to cry* Brian for understanding why."
She hugged and kissed him one last time before leaving him standing under the apple tree.
***
Izumi arrived at the park and saw her friends sitting under their favorite meeting place- the cherry blossom trees.
"Hey guys!" Izumi said trying to sound as cheerful as possible. She still had some tears in her eyes and her shirt was still a little wet.
Kari and Sakura who knew Izumi inside and out ran to comfort their best friend.
Kari assured her crying friend. "Shh. Don't worry! Brian will find someone else to love. Remember Takuya's coming back this year."
Sakura continued while patting her friend gently. "Yeah. He wouldn't want to see you sad after a year without you."
Izumi sniffled and wiped away the tears. She walked slowly to the group and sat down next between her best friends.
Everyone knew how hard it was for Izumi to break up with Brian but knew she would be happier with Takuya because they loved each other.
Silence crept over the group of friends.
Kari cuddled in Davis's arms while Sakura was with Kouji. Izumi couldn't help but continue to cry as she saw all her friends with their loves while she still had to wait for hers.
***
It was the first day of school already and Izumi woke up to the lovely ringing of her loud alarm clock.
Izumi walked into the bathroom and took a shower. She walked out and greeted her parents and grabbing a piece of toast before heading out to meet her best friends.
Izumi wore a light purple t-shirt with a white sleeveless, collarless shirt over it. She also wore blue capri with her usual white and purple sneakers.
As the months had past by, Izumi had gotten over the breakup and now she and Brian were friends. Though they weren't as close as those in Izumi's group, they were still good friends.
Outside Kari and Sakura greeted her. Kari wore a pink-buttoned sweater with a white turtleneck underneath and a red skirt with white stockings. Sakura wore a light blue and pink sweater with blue jeans and pink sneakers.
Izumi greeted them and walked with them to school where they met up with the guys.
She looked at everyone and realized how much they had changed since the last time Takuya saw them. She smiled and couldn't wait for him to come home.
Izumi, Kari, and Sakura had cheer practice after school because in two weeks already, there was a soccer game against one of the neighboring schools.
The three friends received their class schedules and they all had the same classes except they didn't take last year's class again. They took cooking this time.
***
After school, everyone met up at the park. The girls practiced their cheers and drills while the guys practicing their game (a/n: except Tomoki).
The guys took a break and began talking.
"So. when Takuya coming back?" Tomoki asked.
Kouji replied. "I think it was around the soccer game week."
Kouichi: "He'd better hurry up because Izumi starting to really get impatient at us. She knows he's coming back but the year's already started and there's still no sign of him."
Davis and Kouji smirked. The guys all noticed this and were confused.
Davis grinned. "He's doing this on purpose so that he can make a big entrance at the soccer game."
Kouji smiled. "Yup that's what he told me and Davis last week, I think."
The group laughed. No wonder Takuya hadn't come home yet. He wanted to surprise everyone at school and everyone else at the big game.
Davis smiled. "Oh yeah! That reminds me. Takato and Rika are coming back too. They told us that they accomplished their mission."
Kouji: "What Davis means is, those two were suppose to persuade Takuya to hurry up and break up with Mika because they could see Mika was starting to love Takuya. They knew about Izumi and didn't want him to be leading Mika on."
Davis suddenly turned his smile into a serious look. "NO ONE better tell anyone about the surprise at the game. Because if you do, Rika will kick your asses."
The group chuckled lightly but they knew he was serious. Before Takuya was going to make his appearance, Takato and Rika were going to show up a week early to make preparations and make sure no one knew.
Suddenly, the girls walked up and kissed their boyfriends.
Kari asked. "So what are we laughing about?"
"Oh nothing... Nothing at all, Hika-chan!" Davis replied.
After their practice, everyone walked home and were deep into their own thoughts.
***
(on the plane, weeks ago)
Takuya slapped close his silver cell phone and smiled.
He had called Davis and Kouji previously about his plans for making his entrance at the game. He had already told Takato and Rika. As far as he knew, Rika was the only girl that knew.
Takuya placed his phone in his pocket and stared out the window.
He whispered to no one in particular. "Watch out, everyone! Takuya's coming back to town!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Ken's voice: "Hey it's me! Ken Ichijouji! Wow! Looks like the guys have big plans in store for everyone! What's going to happen when Takuya makes his big appearance? What's with all these other DIGIMON characters? Are they truly coincidences or do they have to do with Fate?

Takuya sighed in relief. "Finally! We're done!"
Takato laughed. "Yeah! Good thing too! If I spent another dollar on a gift, I would gone bankrupted."
Everyone laughed in agreement.
"Hey! Let's go get ice cream! My treat!" Mika suggested.

After their practice, everyone walked home and were deep into their own thoughts.

(on the plane, weeks ago)
Takuya slapped close his silver cell phone and smiled.
He had called Davis and Kouji previously about his plans for making his entrance at the game. He had already told Takato and Rika. As far as he knew, Rika was the only girl that knew.
Takuya placed his phone in his pocket and stared out the window.
He whispered to no one in particular. "Watch out, everyone! Takuya's coming back to town!"

Ken's voice: "Hey it's me! Ken Ichijouji! Wow! Looks like the guys have big plans in store for everyone! What's going to happen when Takuya makes his big appearance? What's with all these other DIGIMON characters? Are they truly coincidences or do they have to do with Fate?
Find out in the next episode of "Eternal Memories": The Rocket Returns!

--FEEDBACK--
TO ANTHONY1--
Thanks!
TO EMINEM--
Yeah. You were right. I had this feeling that Chapter 8 was bad when I uploaded it. I think it was because at the time, I was feeling sad about something that happened. So anyways, hopefully this chapter won't be as bad because I'm kind of in a better mood! Thanks for the review!
TO ANIME MASTER ZERO--
