LunaOp: What's up? So here I am to write more! Chapter 4 and this next chappie is kind of an introduction to Mr. Tachikawa. I hope to input some action in chapter 6 and 7 so don't worry about getting bored.

Chapter 5: Meet Mr. Tachikawa

(Izumi's p.o.v.)

Junpei was supposed to meet me at the park today, but obviously he forgot. I hadbeen waiting for fifteen minutes out in the sun and it didn't seem like I had any tolerance left, but then again I am easily angered sometimes. Not! A little jingle came up in my head… wait it was my cell phone.

"Hello?" I asked right away.

"Izumi? I'm at the park right now. Where are you!" Junpei's voice exclaimed.

"I'm at the park too! I've been waiting for you since 2:00!"

"How come I haven't seen you?" His voice was raspy.

I looked around, trying to spot him. There he was under a tree facing the opposite direction I was facing all along! I ran up to him, letting my arms flop around stupidly after what just happened.

"Junpei! There you are!" I grabbed onto his sleeve and felt the fabric. 'Yep, another satin business suit!' I thought.

"Izumi! Hey! What's the matter with you? Sneaking up on people like that?" Hehugged me lightly.

"Sorry." I laughed quietly at our stupidity.

"So what's up? Why'd you have to call me out here?" he asked.

I started to explain to him about yesterday. He gasped when he heard the name "Tachikawa" pop up.

"Wait, I know that name. Where have I heard it before?" He scratched his head.

"Junpei, there are plenty of guys with that name," I said.

"You said Akihiko Tachikawa," he resumed thinking, "That name sounds too familiar to me."

"Argh!" I was getting annoyed that he was making such a big deal over the name.

"The name! The name doesn't matter. All I care about is what you think I should do about my job options right now. Should I take the job he's offering me?"

"Izumi, that guy doesn't seem like he's in the position to hire people. Even if he was, do you think he'd be searching the streets for employees? He must have a whole stack of applications waiting for him at his office."

"Are you saying I'm…" he interrupted me before I could finish.

"Don't mess around with things you don't know about Izumi," he said firmly with a serious look.

I was insulted and shocked. Since when did he become the boss of me? And since when did he think I shouldn't take risks?

"I'm warning you, that name is bad news. Stay away from him."

At first I thought he was jealous but that definitely couldn't be it. I didn't know what to think.

"Fine! I'll mind my own business for now."

"Sorry, Izumi-chan. I don't mean to be bossy and judgmental, but trust me on this. I think that you should learn more about this guy before jumping in to anything."

He looked like he knew what he was saying. I started to believe that Junpei could be right about Akihiko. I mean Akihiko is a stranger to me. I should trust Junpei because he's my friend. After all, the reason I'm discussing all this with him is because Junpei knows about the business world and his opinion matters to me.

"It's all right Junpei. I believe you. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have doubted you. You're one of my best friends and I care about what you think." I replied sincerely.

"Thanks. I'm happy though, that you're starting to develop a future."

"Are you saying I had no future before this?" I asked playfully while nudging him with my elbow.

"What? Heck no. I mean you did have…" He stopped before saying "Takuya."

"Ha! I'm just kidding. Come on. Let's go get something to drink." I interrupted.

We must've been a silly sight going down the sidewalk. Junpei proudly displaying his authority with his suit and briefcase while I was dressed in plain clothes. My hair bounced around freely, unlike the slicked back strands on Junpei's head.

"You know… You should lay off the business look a little. You're not even at work now!" I said.

"Huh? Who cares! I like this suit and I am too at work. I just got back from a meeting is all," he replied defensively.

"Sure. I hope you're comfy in that because today is going to be a long day. You're going to help me find out more about Tachikawa."

I smiled as he frowned lightly.

"But I wanted to take a break today."

"Okay, sure." I laughed and continued walking down the sidewalk towards a café.

End of chapter 5

LunaOp>AznG3: So I just did a little scene between Izumi and Junpei. You know a lot of fics bash Junpei or make him the target point for Izumi's hatred. I can't believe you'd do that to a Digimon character. The creator of Digimon probably loves and cares about all the people and digimon he or she creates. You wouldn't want to beat down their hard work, would you? A true Digi fan wouldn't. I know you can hate whoever you want to, but for anime's sake, be a little kinder. It'll help you be a better person. Anyway, I did the scene to emphasize the true relationship that the gang shares. They aren't out to get each other's necks. They're friends!

Other than that, the story is slowly progressing to a final hit moment where everything gets cleared up. I hope that I'm able to produce a decent end for everyone. I can't let anyone get hurt in my fic but I have to. (Sorry everyone!)

Now I'd like to discuss flames. Oh, the word just screams hatred in FF. I hate flames! What kind of a person would be so mean as to torment an author who is just trying to write a fic for readers to enjoy!Authors are expressing very original ideas through our stories and in America, freedom of expression is worshipped. Notice that no one really cares for flames or flamers 'cause the kind of hate justisn't appreciated. If you're going to review and criticize, avoid the catastrophe of flaming. Helpful advice comes in many forms but certainly not flames!

(Well I'm not saying that you're a flamer, but you could be. Anyone can read this fic, remember? I hope you just ignore that last paragraph if you're not a flamer. I apologize for wasting your time but someone's gotta spread some common sense.)
