Betrayal- Meeko Melodie
Meeko: Here it is...and no, Digimon does not belong to little old me.
Chapter 5: The "Surprise" Party
As Zoe and Takuya walked on the now busy road, both of them kept quiet until...
"Err..." Takuya said, sweat dropping at the same time, "Yeah, I guess he's the one."
"Sure," Zoe answered, "I'll go.""You know," Takuya said slyly, "I'm going to tell Kouji you're going because you think Ryo Akiyama is cute.""Oh, you wouldn't dare, Takuya Kanbara," Zoe said, with her eyes on Takuya."But I would," Takuya replied and ran ahead."Wait for me!" Zoe yelled, running after him.That night...
The group was talking on MSN again, discussing whether they should go to Ryo's party or not.
Goggle Boy: So are you guys in or what?
Wind Fairy: I'm going.
Goggle Boy: snickering
Lone Wolf: Leave my girlfriend alone.
Goggle Boy: Oo...how touching. Fine.
Snowy Bear: Not going, I'm busy that day.
Lone Wolf: Ok. How about you, big bro?
Dark Lion: Sure, I'll go.
Goggle Boy: Alright!! Now let's sleep, I'm so tired. Night, everyone!
Goggle Boy has left the conversation.
Takuya logged off the computer, his mind on the party and Zoe. He knew he shouldn't be thinking about her, after all, she was Kouji's girlfriend and Zoe had rejected him. But still...he just couldn't control what his mind was thinking and what his heart wanted.
The big day... (Sorry if I skip too much, I just want to get to the good part in a hurry.)
Zoe looked through the whole entire closet in her room, trying to find something suitable for a summer party."I knew I should have found something yesterday," Zoe thought to herself, as she threw out more clothes from her closet."There!" Zoe said, finally decided on something. She put on her navy blue tank top with silver glittery stars, a white skirt that reached to her knees, a pair of white sandals and a navy blue bandana to finish the touch. Just as she finished combing her hair, the door bell rung. She rushed to the door."Hey, Kouji," Zoe greeted Kouji, giving him a little hug on the way. Kouji wore a white short sleeved t-shirt, baggy jeans and sneakers. But he didn't wear his bandana today, making him cuter than ever."Mom," Zoe shouted, "I'm going now.""Alright, have fun sweetie," Mrs. Orimoto said, as she walked into the doorway and saw Kouji."And you are...?" Mrs. Orimoto hesitated."Kouji Minamoto," Kouji answered politely and added," I'm here to pick Zoe up on the way to the party.""I see," Mrs. Orimoto said and smiled, "Well, it's nice to meet you and have fun at the party, you two.""We will," Kouji and Zoe replied. Mrs. Orimoto caught Zoe's eyes and winked at her; Zoe blushed and turn away to go."Didn't you tell your mom about me?" Kouji asked Zoe as the front door closed behind them."Well," Zoe said playfully, holding Kouji's hand, "Not really as a boyfriend. No.""You better tell her soon," Kouji warned."I will," Zoe said, "eventually." The pair walked in silence until they reached a huge house with lights coming out from every room and no one would miss the house if they were coming to the party. They came to the front door and already, they could hear music and talking. They rang the bell."Hi," a tall and good-looking boy said, "welcome." Ryo Akiyama had brown hair put in odd angled spikes, sky blue eyes, a brilliant smile that would melt any girls' hearts (Meeko: Well, maybe not Zoe...) . He was wearing a baggy red t-shirt with a dragon on it, and a pair of white sport pants."Come in," Ryo said, giving Zoe his well known smile, but Zoe just rolled her eyes, pretending not to notice."Z, I've got to go look for Kouichi first," Kouji said, "wait for me." Zoe nodded and Kouji ran off."So," Ryo said, walking towards Zoe, "you alone?""What do you think?" Zoe asked sarcastically and not waiting for him to answer, "Obviously not. Didn't you just saw me come in with a boy?" Ryo just smirked and got even closer to her."What do you think you're trying to do?" Zoe asked as she beckoned from him."What does it look like to you?" Ryo replied with a grin, and continued to walk closer to Zoe until she bumped into the wall. Ryo put his hand on her shoulder but before he could do anything else, someone tapped on Ryo's shoulder."Get your filthy hands off her," Kouichi had came out of nowhere and said in his unusual cool attitude."And why should I?" Ryo challenged Kouichi as Ryo pulled Zoe nearer to himself."Because," Kouichi whispered dangerously so that only Ryo could hear, "If you don't, I'm going to beat the crap out of you.""Ooo..." Ryo pretended to shiver, "I'm shaking here.""Let go of her, or else," Kouichi demanded in a cold voice, putting himself into a fighting position, fists clenched at his side."Alright, alright," Ryo said and grinned," Who are you, her boyfriend or something?" Both of them blushed lightly but before they could say anything, Ryo walked off, hunting for another girl."Thanks," Zoe said to Kouichi, who was not looking at Zoe in the eye.
"It's nothing," Kouichi said, looking at the floor then back at her and asked, "Where's Kouji? I thought he came here with you.""He did," Zoe said,"but he went off looking for you.""Looking for me?" Kouichi asked, "For what?" Zoe shrugged."Want to get something to drink?" Zoe asked."Sure," Kouichi replied and they walked inside the living room to get some coke to drink. Near the snacks table was the dance floor. Some people were dancing while blue, red, green lights were shining around; some were just watching on the side line or talking to each other."Zoe?" Kouichi asked nervously."Yea?" Zoe replied, surprised at his anxiety."Err...want to dance?" Kouichi asked."Okay," Zoe said brightly. By this time, the stereo was playing "Two in a Million" (Meeko: In case you didn't read the above, it's by S Club). Kouichi took Zoe by her hand and walked on to the dance floor.
(Italics stands for the lyrics of the song)
Out of all the boys, you're not like the others.
From the very first day, I knew we'd we lovers.
Kouichi put his arms around Zoe's waist for the first time and he felt himself burning on the face."Calm down, Kouichi, cool it down," Kouichi thought to himself as he moved with the music holding on to Zoe, feeling her warmth.
In my wildest dreams, my darkest desire,
Would I declare to you, your love takes me higher.
Zoe dance to the music, his arms around Kouichi's neck. She could feel his heat coming into herself. She looked up to him and saw him blushing lightly; she smiled inside herself and continued to dance.
We are two in a million, we've got all the luck we could be given.
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other and
No matter what, we'll be forever as one.
"Zoe," Kouichi whispered as they dance."Hmm...?" Zoe asked, "What is it?""I have to tell you something," Kouichi said, with tension in his voice."Don't tell me now," Zoe murmured, putting her forefinger over Kouichi's warm lips. They continued to dance in silence while the music washed over their feelings.
It's a crazy world, where everything changes.
One minute you're up, and the next thing you're breaking.
When I lose my way, and the sky's getting heavy,
It'll be ok, the moment you're with me.
The music faded slowly as some of the dancers got off the dance floor to rest. Another song came up, "Have You Ever?"
Sometimes, it's wrong to walk away, though you think it's over.
Knowing there's so much more to say.
Zoe was still holding on to Kouichi, enjoying herself and Kouichi felt the same way but he had to tell her; he just couldn't walk away without telling her his feelings."Let's rest for a bit," Kouichi said softly to Zoe. She nodded and they walked out to the balcony to breath in some fresh air. Zoe leaned over the metal bars surrounding the balcony and rested her head between her hands. She waited patiently for Kouichi to say whatever he had to say. Kouichi stood beside Zoe and suddenly twirled her around to face him."I like you, Zoe," Kouichi whispered. Zoe looked stunned for a second, but her expression seemed to soften immediately."I know," Zoe replied softly, looking deep into Kouichi's dark blue eyes (Meeko: Did Kouichi have dark blue eyes? I'm not very sure) and did something that surprise both Kouichi and herself. She pulled Kouichi by his shirt collar and kissed him with tenderness, with her arms around Kouichi's neck again. Kouichi was so shocked but he got pleasure from it all the same until he realized that it wouldn't work and he shoved her away as gently as he could."Look," Kouichi said, still blushing from the kiss, "I don't think this will work.""You're right," Zoe said, turning away from him, embarrassed. "I don't know why I did that," Zoe continued, "I'm sorry.""It's not your fault," Kouichi said to her kindly."Of course it's her fault, it's also your fault too, Kouichi Kimura," a cold voice interrupted from behind. Kouichi and Zoe stopped breathing, and slowly turned around, wishing it wasn't the one whom they thought it was. But it was- Kouji Minamoto was standing there, with his hands in the pockets.
