Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, but I dream about it sometimes... hey, you cant sue me for dreaming!! =P Although, I do own the teachers: in this chapter - Hunata and Tamachi, in other chapters - I haven't invented names for them yet.
Warning: I am known for the strangest pairings ever, so I think it's time to start warning you guys about what to expect (sorry if this is a spoiler in some fics, but some people are somewhat sensitive... I'm going to start doing this for every fic, after that Joumi fall-out I had ^_^U hehe) So, in this chapter, there's going to be Koukari, Koukari, and more Koukari... so if you don't like them, I'll still continue with them, but I hope that yall won't stop reading because of all the weird pairings... cuz then I'll be very sad v_v\ The reason I put them together goes with the story, and the story goes in the way that I couldn't put them with anybody else.
But, other than that, enjoy, and don't ever forget to review!!!! ^_^

Chapter 5
Yamato's POV:
We were sitting at a small table all by ourselves. I guess it was a custom at the school, or something, but Sora and the others never invited us to sit with them. But it didn't matter, we are going to finish them off anyway.
"I'll be right back," I told Hiroke and Yulei, and then stood up and walked out into the hallway. After walking for quite some time, I finally managed to find the restrooms. The school was like a maze. On my way back, I got lost again. I approached a couple busily making out around the corner and asked them the way back to the cafeteria. They didn't seem to hear me, so I raised my voice a little.
"You guys know how to get to the cafeteria from here?"
This time the girl looked up, and straightened her short brown hair. The guy grabbed a hold of his hormones too, and they both pointed down the hall.
"Just take those stairs down two levels," they informed me.
"Thanks," I held my hand up and nodded, before walking off in the direction they instructed. A second later I heard them going at it again. Well, at least they gave good directions.
No sooner than I rejoined my two friends at our table, than the bell rang. It was time to get back to class. I hated geography at my old school, and from the moment I walked into the classroom I already hated it here. But it would be all over, as soon as we can get rid of the Digidestined.
Hikari's POV:
The bell rang, but Izzy's arms were still tight around my waist, and his face buried in my neck.
We've got to get to class
"Izzy... that was the bell," I whispered, but I continued to hold on to his neck. Who came up with the idea that lunch should be only one hour long? He lifted his head and looked into my eyes, and I stared back into his. People were beginning to fill up the hallway, so Izzy stepped back a little. I caught his face in both my hands and kissed him gently on his lips.
"We have to go, Hunata will be furious if we're late again," I reminded him.
"Ok, all right," he sighed and picked up his books from the floor. I laughed and slid my hand through his arm.
"Don't forget, you have to help me with my math homework after school."
Izzy was a whiz at math, and I had to get a passing grade in Tamachi's class. Besides, spending all the time with him on weekends wasn't enough.
We walked among the crowds to class, but the tardy bell caught us in the middle of the hallway. I pulled on Izzy's arm, while he reluctantly jogged behind me. He smirked at my efforts.
"We're already late, Kari, come on."
"Well, yeah, you don't have to pay attention, because you know everything already," I playfully glared at the genius.
Finally we reached the classroom, and tried to sneak into our seats. But it was like the teacher was waiting for us. She took off her glasses and stared.
"Well, something to say for yourselves?" she asked in her shrill voice as we took different seats next to each other. There were some new students that occupied our usual ones at the back of the classroom.
"Izumi, I would expect better of you! You are a straight-A student, yet you mar your record with countless tardiness! I want you to be here on time tomorrow."
"Yes, Mrs. Hunata," Izzy replied respectfully, and then looked at me and winked. I just shook my head. Then I looked at the new students, and blushed slightly. I recognized one of the guys as the person who asked us directions to the cafeteria earlier.
I wonder if he remembers us, I hope not
It's not that I was ashamed of my relationship with Izzy, quite the contrary, but I hadn't counted on a classmate seeing us getting intimate.
But somehow, I had a feeling they weren't going to care about that. I didn't think they were going to care about anything. It was evident from the way they were sitting, and the blank stares on their faces. They were scary. Especially the girl - she looked like she's going to hurt somebody. And they all wore mostly black.
Once I caught the girl looking at me, and I quickly looked away. When I summoned up the courage to look back at her, she was talking quietly to the guy with the blond hair, glancing briefly at me and Izzy. I froze in my seat. I don't know why, but they were making me very uncomfortable. They looked like gangsters who picked on kids. Izzy was doing the current assignment, so I couldn't exchange eye contact. I turned back to the textbook, trying my best to make sense out of what I was reading.
Koushiro's POV:
Kari acts too much. It's just school - you come to learn, you leave to go on with your life. I don't see why she makes such an effort to make everyone think she's worried about her schoolwork. She rushes to class, and is always doing homework, but what she really wants is to have fun. And I don't blame her. I just don't see why she has to go to extremes to suppress her real feelings. How do I know all this? She wasn't always this way.
FLASHBACK
We were going to school on a Saturday, to serve detention. We used to get into a lot of trouble last year, mainly thanks to Kari. If wasn't as if she was a rebel - she had her own way of doing things.
"Hey, Koushiro, I'm sorry."
That's what she would always say. And I would always smile and tell her it was nothing. So many times, that eventually, I think I believed it.
"Kari, is that you?"
We stopped, and two of Kari's friends from photography club hurried over to us from across the street.
"I really don't have time, Kia, I'm gonna be late," Kari told the president, and the other girl made a face.
"Don't tell me it's detention again, that's the tenth time this semester."
"I know..." Kari looked down at the ground, trying to come up with an excuse.
"I don't know if you're aware, but with this much detention time, you cannot continue to be part of the photography team," the vice president, Lila, chimed in from behind her friend.
"But -"
"I'm sorry, but that's undisputable."
Kari looked pleadingly at Kia, but she shrugged helplessly.
"Sorry Kari, you just can't spend all you life in detention."
They walked off brusquely, and she just stood there, staring after them.
END FLASHBACK
And she's never gotten detention since. She still does crazy stuff once in a while, but on the whole, she's not such a troublemaker anymore. I don't know if that's a good thing. I'm always trying to get her to relax, but it's not working. The thing I can't understand is why she seems like a totally different person now, and why does she remain that way when, clearly, it's killing her?
********************************************************************** Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Right now, I'm trying to set up everything for the climax and afterwards, sort of get their internal issues straight. It's a little boring, I know, but if you bear with me, later it all plays a part!!! ^_^ So just trust me. But still, I need to know what you thing, so review!!!!!
