Last time

~Izumi's P.o.V.~

I groaned and noticed Kouichi in a corner. He had his brows furrowed and seemed to have something on his mind. I walked over to him.

I tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Hey Kouichi, you seem to have a lot on your mind." Kouichi just looked away.

"You wanna tell me what it is?" I asked concerned.

Kouichi looked at her, hesitated and replied, "It's nothing."

++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter Two - A Disturbed Heart

~Izumi's P.o.V.~

Kouichi walked away with the same troubled expression on his face. I decided to leave him alone and just then, Mr. Kentucky announced the start of class.

"Today I will be testing you all on your natural abilities and strengths. I will be partnering you up with someone with the same gender." He stated. (Junpei looked very disappointed when the teacher said last two words.) He took out a list and began to call out names. "For the girls : Bonnie and Rachel.Melissa and Linda.Brenda and Hillary.Izumi and Miku."

The girl with the pigtails I saw in my History class this morning walked up to me.

"Hello! I'm Miku. You're Izumi right?"

"Why yes! I guess we're gonna be partners." Izumi studied the girl. She was about her height and had a slight athletic build.

".Kouji and Junpei.Kouichi and Takuya.Denny and Robert." Mr. Kentucky finished. Kouji was staring at Junpei as if he would rather listen to Mr. Burgerking (the History teacher) drone on and on for hours on end.

~Kouji's P.o.V.~

'Great,' I thought bitterly, 'just my luck.' I watched Junpei from the corner of my eye stroll over to me happily.

"Hey Kouji,' Junpei beamed. "Mr. Kentucky said my name and some people told me to go to you. so does that mean you're my partner?"

"No," I replied sarcastically, "your Izumi's partner."

"YEAH, IZUMI MY LOVE," Junpei pronounced, "we were DESTINED to be together."

~Izumi's P.o.V.~

I looked in the direction of the voice sullenly as Miku giggled.

"Is he your boyfriend?" she joked.

I glared at Junpei and watched Kouji drag him off to their pull-up station. I watched, deeply impressed as Kouji do 20 of them effortlessly, only stopping, with lots of groaning and grunting, to boost Junpei to the bar. I could swear Kouji hissed at him, "Your impossible."

Miku suddenly interrupted my thoughts. "Isn't Kouichi something?" she said dreamily, watching him do push-ups.

She snapped back to reality and realized we were supposed to do sit-ups. Quickly, I bent down to help Miku do her sit-ups. However, she did not seem like she need anyone to steady her. I gaped at her as she did over 50 within a minute without breaking a sweat.

"Wow, your good," I complimented as I bent down to take my turn. I counted in my head, '.39.40.41.42.'

"Times up!" the instructor told us as I completed my 44th sit-up. Panting, I stood up.

I gazed around and found Kouji encouraging Junpei to let go of the bars to reach the floor.

"Come on Junpei, we don't have all day," Kouji growled impatiently. "Here, I'll help you with a foot." With that, Kouji holding Junpei's right shoe.

"Now slowly let go of one hand," Kouji said. Junpei released both grips and stared at his hands.

"Which one?" he asked, as he dropped to the comfy 'mat'.

"HEY! I'm on the ground, that was easy," Junpei said, gleefully. "Kouji, thanks for all your help! .Kouji?"

".get.your fat.bottom.off.my back!" Kouji gasped, as he struggled to free himself from underneath the immense amount of weight.

"Oops," Junpei blushed and quickly rolled off a crushed Kouji.

~Takuya's P.o.V.~

Kouichi and my station was now the sit-up station. I glanced at Kouichi, who seemed to have something troubling him.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him.

Kouichi snapped out his deep thoughts and glanced at me. "No. Nothing much."

He went first and I helped steady him, although he really didn't need much help. I went on counting in my head. '.39.40.41.42.43.'

I noticed Kouichi doing the sit-ups but he seemed dazed and absentminded.

~Kouichi's P.o.V.~

I had strange feeling, as though some one or something was watching me and the others. Something evil. It was almost like Cherubimon had returned but that isn't possible.is it? This aura seems different somehow.

"Um.Kouichi." Takuya said worriedly, interrupting my thoughts.

"Hmm.?" I looked at him.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

I gave him a reassuring smile and helped him during his sit-up turn. Suddenly, I sensed it. That aura. I looked around but everything seemed to be normal.except Kouji who was helping Junpei do an awkward summersault. As I was about to resume to counting Takuya's sit-ups, I noticed Izumi's partner staring at me. I blushed.

"Earth to Kouichi!! How many did I do?!" Takuya teased.

I stared at him and realized that I didn't know. "43.I think," I replied.

Takuya raised a brow. "Okay. I guess you were really paying attention then," he muttered.

I sighed in relief. I didn't really want anyone else to know about this strange feeling.

* After School *

~Takuya's P.o.V.~

"Hey guys!" I called to them. "Do you all want to go to get some shakes at Joe's Burger Palace?" (Kate: Sorry, I'm not creative when it comes to names).

Izumi smiled, "Sure!"

Junpei was ecstatic. "YES!! IZUMI AND I ARE FINALLY GETTING TOGETHER!!"

Everyone sweatdropped. "We're going too you know," said Kouji.

"My treat!" I announced.

"WHAT?!" Everyone said in unison.

Junpei had stars in his eyes. "Really?!"

I had an awful feeling. "One shake per person." I finally told them. I smiled.

"What are you so happy about?" Izumi questioned.

"Oh. you'll see." I winked.
