Last time:

"Hey guys!" I called to them. "Do you all want to go to get some shakes at Joe's Burger Palace?"

Izumi smiled, "Sure!"

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

"Oh. you'll see." I winked. +++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 3 - A Disturbed Heart

* Joe's Burger Palace *

~Izumi's P.o.V~

As we entered Joe's Burger Palace, I finally knew why Takuya was so happy. A brown haired kid wearing a over-large hat was waiting for us. Tomoki. The last time I had saw him, he was up to shoulder and now, he was up to my chin. However, he wasn't alone.

"Miku!" I exclaimed.

"Hey Izumi," she responded, "what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm just here for the shakes Takuya promised us," I turned. "Guys, this is Miku, Miku this is Takuya, Junpei, Kouji, and Kouichi. They're in our P.E. class too." Miku's eyes traveled over each guy as they were introduced but her eyes lingered upon Kouichi. Kouichi blushed when he realized this.

"Oh. and he's Tomoki, but I think you already know that." Izumi continued.

"Hey guys," Tomoki asked, "did you miss me?"

"Sure we did," Kouji replied as Takuya went over and messed his hair.

Takuya then walked over to get the shakes.

* Playground *

~Normal P.o.V.~

Izumi pushed Tomoki, who was on the swings. Junpei was inspecting the ground for rocks to his huge rock collection, while Takuya was in the bathroom trying to comfort his stomach after realizing Junpei had accidentally drank from Takuya's and backwashed.

The twins sat on the grass watching these events happen, both in deep thought.

~Kouji's P.o.V.~

I looked at my brother who seemed disturbed. He hadn't talked for the last few hours and didn't seem to be aware that people were talking to him.

"Yo, bro.are you ok?" I said, shattering the silence. He didn't reply. "Kouichi."

Kouichi suddenly abruptly snapped back to reality. "Did you say something?" he asked.

"What's wrong?"

".Nothing"

"Don't lie."

Kouichi just looked away. Suddenly, Junpei appeared out of nowhere and pointed at my shoe.

"Can I please have your rock?" I sat, dumbfounded.

"You know, the one under your shoe," Junpei pleaded.

"Oh. sure." I shifted my foot. Junpei grabbed it, admiring the dirt on it and ran off to place it on a huge mound of other dirty rocks. I turned to look at Kouichi but he was gone.

~Kouichi's P.oV.~

He was so close to knowing. I didn't really want anyone to be bothered by this stupid suspicion of mine. I sighed and followed the parks path towards a lake. I sat a bench, trying my best to enjoy the sunset. Unexpectedly, a pair of arms surrounded me and a voice squealed, "KOU-I-CHI!"

I sprung back and realized that it was just Miku.

"Oh, hey Miku," Kouichi sighed.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

I glared at nothing particularly. Was it that obvious? How is everyone able to notice when I'm troubled.except Junpei that is.

"Nothing."

"That's good. You worry too much. Did you know how kawaii your in deep thought?"

Kouichi blushed.

"Oh look, there's (random street crosser). see you later Kouichi" Miku left.

'Strange girl,' Kouichi thought, 'at least I'm alone now.'

Meanwhile.

~Kouji's P.o.V.~

I ran down a path that I suspected Kouichi had taken. I don't know but I think twins have this sixth sense towards each other. There I found him sitting on a bench, watching the setting sun.

"You want to know what's wrong, don't you?" (Kat: .the sixth sense thing ^- ^)

I nodded.

As he opened his mouth to tell me, Miku suddenly popped out from behind a bush.

"KOU-I-CHI! I'm back!"

Kouichi jumped. I was annoyed and glared my best death stare at her although she took no notice. She turned to me and blinked as if she finally took notice that I existed.

"Oh! Hi Kouji!"

"Hi," I muttered back.

"Kouichi, lets help Junpei find some rocks! Look I see a beautiful red one right there!" and with that, Miku dragged him off, leaving me speechless. Kouichi looked at me as if to say 'Help!' but I smirked. 'Its payback for lunchtime'

"Have fun!" I called after them. Kouichi glared as if understanding my thoughts.

* Later. *

~Tomoki's P.o.V.~

Man was I glad to see them again. When it started to get late, my brother came up to pick me up and he gave everyone a ride. Junpei's house was the closest.

"Bye Junpei!" We chorused as he headed towards his HUGE white mansion of his.

Before Junpei opened the door, however, he turned around and blew a kiss. "I shall be back my dear Izumi!"

Izumi shuddered and we headed towards Kouji's house. His dog Maxwell was there to greet his master. He barked joyously and knocked Kouji over. Everyone laughed. Izumi and Takuya's apartment was pretty close to Kouji's home so they all left together.

Kouichi was staring absentmindedly at the dark sky when we arrived at his place.

"Kouichi? We arrived." I told him.

Kouichi looked at me as if he hadn't heard me and then said, "Thanks for the ride."

"No prob." I replied.

~Kouichi's P.o.V.~

I watched Tomoki's car drive away from my house through the window.

Suddenly, I watched as a shadow travel along the side of the road. Somehow, it didn't give me a good feeling. I rushed out the door, barely aware that my mother was telling me not to. Perhaps I had imagined it because once I was out the door, the creature vanished from sight.

~Normal P.o.V.~

Kouichi scanned the area, as if expecting something. After giving up and returning to his house, someone stepped from behind a tree and murmured "Kouichi Kimura.I'll get what I want from you if it's the last thing I do."

Authors' Note: Kate: Be careful Kouichi. *looks worried* Kat: Die Kouichi DIE!!! Jkjk. I like Kouichi too but Kouji's still a way better character. CC and R+R!
