(Word beside Japanese word) ... translation
((Psst...)) ... I'm talking to you
Daisuke shook his head as he recalled what the other boys said before scattering to change clothes.
#FLASH#
"Anything else?"
Silence reigned as the other boys let it sink in.
A basketball player, second best to Takeru, stepped forward. "So you're saying Kyoko's single?"
Daisuke sighed. Though she'd never date any of you people Daisuke decided that they didn't need to know that right now. "Hai, Jamie. She's free."
The player identified as Jamie continued. "Is she looking for anyone?"
Daisuke shook his head. But once again, if she was, she wouldn't be looking for you. "Not to my knowledge."
Mark, a boy on the track team, moved up. "So you'll do it?"
Daisuke turned around from the doorway. "Do what?"
"Go over there?"
"Over where?"
Mark looked at Daisuke as if he was some idiot. "To where the girls are probably going to be sitting at. We're not really doing anything today. The staff and district just want to see if girls and guys can coincide in one gym period together. So it's just free-play. Now, are you going or what?"
Daisuke shrugged. "Since it's free-play, yeah. I'll probably be hanging around with Kyoko anyways.
#BACK#
Daisuke began to head straight to Kyoko to talk.
Jamie pulled Daisuke a ways back. "Where are you going?"
Daisuke gave a sideways smirk. "To hang with Kyoko. What else is new?"
"See! That's what I mean. You're so casual about hanging with a hottie like Kyoko. Aren't you scared you'll choke or do something stupid?"
Daisuke shook his head as he stepped to the gym floor. He watched in amusement as Kyoko came out, being pushed by a crowd of cheerleaders. "Nah, no way. I'll be fine. I've always hung around Kyoko and as you probably don't recall, I haven't really ever hung around any 'hotties'."
The other boys nodded. In agreement or understanding, Daisuke didn't know nor did he seem to care.
Yamato folded his arms. "There goes our first shot at him."
Taichi shrugged and moved to the boys' workout area. "There's always the end of the period, or before then if we're lucky."
The other boys shrugged as well and followed Taichi.
Amy and Kassie squealed. "He's heading right this way! You've already caught his attention without even doing anything!"
Kyoko shrugged. "Sore de So what? He always hangs out with me. Nothing new."
The girls stared at her. "Always?"
Kyoko arched an eyebrow. "Just about. Got the same classes and go over the other's house all the time. Hit the park and even have a job together. You know, best friends."
Kassie squealed in delight again. "You are so lucky! He's always around you! Classes, jobs, the park... gasp Have you ever been on a date with him?"
Kyoko laughed outright at this. "A date? Of course not! Sure, we'll chill at the mall or head to a movie or two and maybe even a concert, but no. Never a date."
Kassie pressed forward. "Were you alone?"
Kyoko backed away at the girl's closeness. Just creep me out why don't you? "Sometimes..."
Kassie nodded to herself. "Then it's a date." She held a finger up in a matter-of-fact motion. "When a girl goes with a guy somewhere, such as the movies, the mall, a restaurant, etc., and they are indeed alone then it is officially a date. So he's single and looking right?"
Kyoko blinked at the sudden switch of topics. Why did that sound like some definition from her own personally made dictionary? She was going to reply when a pair of familiar tan arms snaked around her waist. Daisuke was an inch or two taller than her so she had to look up slightly to find a grinning Daisuke behind her.
"What's up Kyoko?"
The other cheerleaders backed away to a wall and played with the jump ropes, sat and talked, or did the other's hair. In any case they were all watching the pair.
Across the gym the other boys watched Daisuke casually wrap his arms around Kyoko's waist and grin at her. She smiled back and laughed at something he said. They were all around the weight/training area. There were several reactions. Jaws dropped, and questions/comments floated about. Yamato, Taichi, Ken, and TK watched and/or listened in mild interest.
Mark stared, amazed. "How does he do that? She doesn't even care!"
Jamie stood, impressed. "I've got to get some tips from him."
Mark scratched his head. "Is it the hair?"
Jamie shook his head. "Nah, I don't think so."
Mark thought about something for a couple minutes. "Is it the build? I mean, it's muscular, but not burly or bulky. Red hair and naturally tan skin could be a plus. Maybe she goes for the 'not-so-average' guys."
Jamie snapped his fingers. "That could be it! I mean Motomiya isn't exactly the poster-boy for normal."
Yamato snorted silently at the comment. You have no idea...
TK's voice dropped in, discreet. "I say we see if it's just Kyoko first."
Mark frowned, wondering who spoke. "Meaning?"
TK sweatdropped at Taichi, Yamato, and Ken's disbelieving expressions. He held his hands up, claiming innocence. "Umm, challenge him to get another girl to go on a date with him. Listen to the gossip the next school day to see how it went. Just in case he lies. You know Daisuke isn't the type to turn down a challenge anyways."
Jamie nodded. "Whoever said that is right. Motomiya will do it."
Mark shrugged. "Yeah, but it has to be done more than once. At least three times. Just to see if it's real, or a set-up."
The others boys started their plot. But all pretenses stopped when cheering was heard.
"Go Daisuke!" Kassie and the other cheerleaders, well, cheered him on as he continued to punch and kick at a punching bag. It was large, thick, and very heavy; just a foot or two above the floor. Daisuke was kicking and punching at it with amazing speed and strength. Everyone went over, guys for the bouncy girls, girls for a very hot-looking Daisuke, and both for a show. Even the gym teacher was watching with interest. Kid could do well at kickboxing or something.
The girls continued to jump up and down in excitement as the punching bag swung back with the force of blows coming from Daisuke. Kyoko was cheering as well. "You can do it Daisuke!"
Hikari and Miyako stalked over to Yamato, Taichi, and Ken. They pulled them over.
Hikari snapped her fingers to get the attention of the awestruck boys.
"Hey!" She hissed at them so not to attract unwanted attention.
Taichi snapped out of it first. "Oro (Huh)?"
Miyako shook her head. "Well?"
Yamato raised an eyebrow. "Well what?"
Hikari threw her arms up. "Did you get anything out of Daisuke?"
The three shrugged, but Ken then opted to recite the conversation that took place between Daisuke and the other boys.
Miyako looked slightly surprised at the new information. "Are...are you serious?"
Ken nodded. "Hai."
Miyako looked back to Daisuke, who was still going at it with the bag; then to Kyoko, still cheering him on; to the cheerleaders, who also cheered Daisuke on; and finally at the other guys gathered around, either yelling encouragement or checking out the excited girls. "I guess we'll have to wait."
Ken looked indifferent. "I was going to wait anyways." The others looked at him strangely. "What? You have to admit, this is getting good." The seven Chosen walked calmly back to the large circle.
Kyoko checked her watch. "20 minutes to break it Daisuke! Can you do it?"
Daisuke looked at her and nodded with grin. He also winked at the cheerleaders. ((Can't believe I'm going to write this...)) They swooned. ((Who came up with 'swooned'?))
Punch.
The chain holding the bag was breaking. It was rusty enough without Daisuke punching and kicking at it.
Punch.
A binding snapped. This went unnoticed. Kyoko thought she heard something but dismissed it.
Kick. Kick. Ki-
Daisuke stood wide-eyed as the chain holding the bag snapped and the bag swung back in his direction. Kuso! A swift roundabout kick busted the bag before it got to him. Sand and some type of ground stone went flying. The cheerleaders screamed as they were showered. The boys either stood there or ran off. Daisuke held his arms up and closed his eyes as he was hit by the contents. Kyoko was doing the same. The other digidestined were just out of reach. The gym coach sputtered. Both genders ran to the locker rooms and changed quickly after a short shower.
RING
The bell rang and suddenly everyone was gone. The teacher looked around. The students were gone and the ones with Gym for this period simply stood in the doorway, shocked. On the floor lay the chain and punching bag. Or its remains. The leather coating lay in large pieces on the floor and a tattered chain rest next to it. Sand and ground rock was strewn about everywhere. All the teacher said was,
"What a kick."
Kyoko and Daisuke bolted as soon as possible. The two were bombarded with questions from all sides and made a run for it.
Kyoko looked behind her momentarily. "Did youhave to do that? A little much don't you think?"
Daisuke grinned and kept running. "Hai. It wouldn't do for my public to see me get sacked by a large bag."
Kyoko dashed around a corner. "Don't these people have class?"
Daisuke looked back as well. "Some have stopped at their lockers as they passed them. I think some have free period and are leaving like us. Others couldn't keep up and stopped. And the rest just don't care...or decided to take up stalking us."
Kyoko already had her stuff, as did Daisuke. "Don't even joke about that! Where did you park?" He pointed to the space. Right beside the gate.
Kyoko sighed in relief. "Thank you Kami for football!"
Daisuke jumped into the topless car and started it up. He simply tossed his other things in the back. "Come on Kyoko!" She jumped in and threw her stuff to the back.
Taichi stopped at the school doors; as did the other Chosen. Panting, Taichi had one thing to say. "Boy those two have gotten fast."
The other digidestined nodded and arranged a meeting for the weekend.
Daisuke played chauffeur as they drove off, leaving behind exhausted followers and tired Chosen. "To the park, miss?"
Kyoko laughed at him. "Hai, driver. To the park and then to The Sound Shop."
Alright. That's all I can do for now. Man, I was sure lazy.
Riyu: Hai. You lazy bum.
Kyo-chan: arches an eyebrow Define bum.
Riyu: sweatdrop Last I checked it was 'butt'.
Kyo-chan: So...
Riyu: Too much TV?
Kyo-chan: sigh See what I deal with?
Muses: What you deal with?
Kyo-chan:sweatdrop Heh heh.
R/R please. Need feedback.
Next chapter: We have skateboarding, crashes, and The Sound Shop (Does this place exist?). Plus run-ins at band practice the very next day!
One more thing...I'm going to take a poll in the reviews, k? There's been some controversy. Let me know if this should be a Daikari or Daisuke x Kyoko. Or if I should do another fic starting off here with the couple not chosen in this one. The alternate fic will end up completely different, but you know. Just tell what you think.
