Chapter 10- Missed you

"It's too late right now, we'll search for her first thing in the morning", said Takuya. Everyone agreed. "Hey Bokomon, which direction did she run in?" asked JP. I'm not quite sure, ask Neemon. "She went that way, no that way, it has to be that way, naw I'm sure it was that way", said Neemon. "You idiot you don't even remember", yelled Bokomon getting ready to snap his pants when Tommy asked. "But Bokomon you didn't remember either doesn't that make you an idiot too?" Aahhh, Bokomon hesitated. Everyone's sweat dropped. Let's get some sleep, but when he said that everyone had already crashed accept Koji who was gazing up at the stars blankly as if in deep thought.

The sun rose making the sky a bright orange color. Everyone was anxious to start looking for Izumi. "Koji you go straight ahead. Tommy and I will go to the right. JP, you, Bokomon & Neemon go to the far left", commanded Takuya. They all sprinted into the trees and started looking around.

Koji had been walking for about an hour now with no one and nothing to show for it. He came to the edge of the forest into a clearing and he saw a beautiful blonde girl that he had missed since before she got into the car and drove away. He over heard her talking to herself about not knowing why she was still alive while swinging her legs off the side of the cliff. "You know life is what you make it", Koji said softly so not to startle her.

Unfortunately it didn't work quite to his plan. She stood up and tried to turn around so quickly that she lost her balance. Lucky for her, Koji was one of the fastest runners on the soccer team.

He caught her just in time. He held her close the whole time she was getting calmed down. "I missed you", she said calmly. He just smiled, but she knew what he was trying to say. I miss you too; he thought more than you'll ever know. "Now what were you saying?" she asked. "I'll tell you on the way back if you'll come. Alright.

"If you think life is terrible it will be. If you think your life is so wonder it will be. See it's what your feelings reflect. So if you are feeling happy then you'll think your life is happy", Koji explained. Izumi stared at him. What?!! Nothing I just had no idea you were so insightful. How can I think my life is good when it's one of the worst in the world? Come on it can't be that bad. But it is every time I think about it I just want to sit down and cry. What could have happened for it to be that bad, I mean I know your mother died but. he got cut off. Don't you understand I've killed people and by doing that I don't even deserve to live, I don't even want to live, I have nobody. My whole family is dead and it's all because of me. Is that how you coped with it he asked pointing down at her hands, looking concerned. She held them up looking at the burn marks and she shook her head no. Good he said relieved. It was silent for a while as they secretly thought about each other. I wish she'd smile more she looks prettier when she does smile thought Koji. Then out of no where Izumi started hugging him tightly. Koji stiffened. Thanks for everything she said gratefully. Your welcome he said. Koji wanted to hug her back but for some odd reason he could not.
