C.T. : Thank you. -
neofilly aw... hugs you -jkjk you're really sweet you know that?! I try my best to control the personalities of each character but I find Kouji's the hardest to write. I'm glad you think I'm doing a pretty good job so far. Thankies for reviewing!!!
Takari AAF: GLOMPS you you just made my day! That's really nice of you to say that - dances around the room Thanks for putting me on your favorite author list too! doubly hugs Oh, and thanks for reminding me that this stories also Kozumi o.O ducks from tomatoes from angry Kozumi fans SOOO SORRY!! AHHH I promise I'll add Kozumi in this chappie since Kouichi's in coma and there can't be much Koukou here.
(Oh... and this depends if you see this as Kozumi. If you still don't know, I support one-sided Kozumi: meaning Izumi likes Kouji, but Kouji does not like her back—sorry... Anyway, I'm not gonna go into the maybe mushy stuff until Kouichi wakes up!! Omg! I don't know how he should wake up! AHHH!! I mean, he can't just wake up zombie style can he?????)

7th part of Story:
Izumi's P.o.V.
I listened to the endless pitter-pattering of the rain, while it pounded against my bedroom window as morning arose. My alarm clock started blaring loudly in my ear. I covered my head with the pillow, trying to block the sound out, before finally thrusting my arm out to slam the alarm clock hard against the wall. I blinked and glanced at the beaten clock on the ground, and then realized what I had done and sighed. It had been a long week. Kouichi was still in coma. Kouji's still having troubles talking to his mom. And me? I am just utterly worried about the two of them. All of us are.
Kouji hasn't been talking to us lately. In fact, I think he might be avoiding us. Takuya invited him over for a soccer game. He refused. Tomoki asked him to go to his house for a round of Super Mario. He refused. Even Junpei volunteered to go to his house dust his shelves... He refused that too. What could I do?
I sighed loudly as I dragged myself out of bed and collapsed in front of the computer. My parents weren't up yet, so I usually snuck some time before I had to go to school.
(Kate: I'm new at this. Never wrote a chat board way before. Please inform me if I'm doing something wrong. I will allow Kat to give them the weirdest chat names ever since I'm not creative. At least you guys will know who's who. People names go as follows:
Takuya: Flaming gogglehead
Kouji: Lonewolf
Izumi: Purple butterfly
Junpei: Beetleboy
Tomoki: Frosty
Digi Chat Board
Purple butterfly has logged in
Beetleboy: IZUUUUUMIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!
Purple butterfly: -.-?/I
Frosty: Hey Izumi!
Flaming gogglehead: Hey Z...
Purple butterfly: Takuya? How'd you wake up so early?
Flaming gogglehead: glare Just what do you mean by that?
Beetleboy: HAHAHAHAHHAHA!! That's SOO FUNNY IZUMI!!
Purple butterfly: -.-?/I
Frosty: Well you usually wake up pretty late so...
Flaming gogglehead: TOMOKI!! WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!?!
Frosty: o... sorry Takuya
Flaming gogglehead: hey no problem, buddy! I just couldn't sleep that's all.
Purple butterfly: I know what you mean.
Lonewolf has logged on
I stared at the screen, surprised at what I saw. Were my eyes playing tricks on me? Kouji was actually on for once. I quickly started typing.
Flaming gogglehead: HEY BUDDY!!!
Frosty: Kouji!
Beetleboy: KOUJI!
Purple butterfly: hey Kouji -
One minute later
Flaming gogglehead: Where'd he go?
Purple butterfly: Kouji?
Lonewolf: ...
Flaming gogglehead: HEY!
Lonewolf: hey
Flaming gogglehead: sup man?
Lonewolf: ...
Frosty: Are you ok?
Lonewolf: yeh
Beetleboy: GOOD!! CUZ YOU LOOKED PRETTY SAD ALL THIS WEEK .
Purple butterfly: bonks him with a mallet you eeediot
I cursed silently at his stupidity. Anyone could tell Kouji was lying.
Lonewolf: I'll talk to you guys at school k?
Without waiting for a reply he logged off. I sighed loudly yet again.
Flaming gogglehead: o.O Did he just say he would talk to us at school?
Frosty: What do you mean? Has he been avoiding you people too?
Beetleboy: heck yah! Oh wait, I forgot your still in elementary school :P
Frosty: hey?
Purple butterfly: JP!
Beetleboy: sorry hangs head
I laughed sadly, and then looked at the time realizing it was a minute before school starts.
Purple butterfly: OMG! TIME!!
I quickly warned the others before quickly logging off myself. After grabbing my backpack, I rushed to school without getting a bite to eat. My stomach growled ferociously.
(Kate: Muhaha... I'm really sorry. I bet that chat log thing was the most boring part of my story so far . Oh well, it was worth a shot. If any of you people decided to skip it, it's mainly telling you what happened during the last week. Use your imagination! I'm sure you'll understand what I wrote.)
---At School---
"TAKUYA KANBARA, IZUMI ORIMOTO AND JUNPEI SHIBAYAMA!?Ms Yaiko practically screamed at us as we rushed through the doors breathlessly. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS??/p
"We...?Takuya started.
"I DO NOT want to hear any excuses. Sit down. The three of you have detention for the rest of the week!?she snapped and continued teaching the class. Takuya grumbled angrily as we took our seats at the usual back of the room. Kouji was there, though he didn't greet us. I didn't blame him. I glanced at the seat beside him, which was obviously empty. We continued the rest of the day, practically silent towards each other.
(Kate: do you people remember the seating plan back from Chapter 1, 2 or 3? I don't... . mark me if I'm wrong k?)
RING
After what seemed like the longest day of my life, school finally ended. I quickly packed my bag and set of to a pizza parlor down the street. It was my job to get Kouji to come with us. I took in a deep breath and approached his locker.
"Um Kouji??I questioned. He turned to stare at me. Blank, unemotional, like the ones I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hey, the others and I are gonna meet at the pizza parlor down the street, wanna join us??I persuaded sweetly. He turned and continued packing his stuff.
"No, not really.?/p
Annoyed, I tried my best to calm myself down. I didn't succeed. What had happened to him? It was almost like he didn't want us to help him.
"Kouji! You're coming with me no matter what. I don't care what you need to do next, but you've got to understand we want to help you! We're your friends!?I dragged him for a block down the street. The others were already waiting there.
Kouji's P.o.V.
I allowed Izumi to drag me to the pizza parlor to meet the others. Like I cared. Nothing did nowadays.
"Hey buddy!?Takuya greeted and gave me a hard nuggie to the head. I scowled as I tried to fix my bandana the best I could. Junpei was there too, while Izumi went to order herself pizza. I guess she didn't have breakfast today, because she came back with two boxes.
"For me??!!??Junpei drooled. Izumi rolled her eyes.
"I suppose. None of us had breakfast today anyway I'm assuming. Want some Kouji??she offered me a piece. I shook my head in disgust. Pepperoni?
As if reading my thoughts she replied, "Whoops, hold on, I'll get you something.?/p
I stopped her. "No, it's alright.?/p
She stopped and sighed, and then sat down to join the two others who were already starting to gorge themselves with pizza. I stared at them blankly, then turned my glance towards the window as I watched an elderly women walk across the street with a stroller. After she crossed, I continued to stare listlessly at the passing cars.
"Um... Kouji??/p
I turned to see the others looking at me, anxiously. What the heck were they looking at?
"What??I asked simply. A silence followed. They all seemed to be unwilling to talk, even Takuya, which I found rather strange. I stood up.
"Hey, if there's nothing wrong, I'll go...?I said, and turned to leave.
"Kouji,?It was Izumi. "Is there anything you want to tell us? Anything... at all??/p
I stared at them blankly. What was there to tell them? That my brother's in coma, that I don't know how to confront my real mom or my dad and step-mom? Or did they mean me? And what I felt about the whole situation.
I opened my mouth to reply, but reconsidered. They didn't need to know. No one did.
"It's nothing... really.?/p
I thought they would argue on and to find out the truth, but they didn't. They just stood there, staring at me as if I had died. I couldn't bear to face them anymore, and turned to leave. They didn't follow. I knew the respected my decision on not telling them. Anyway, I needed my time to be alone.
Author's Note:
Kate: Wow! Omg.. I surprised myself o.O That was actually not that badly written. The last part anyway, I like it! -. Great... now I don't sound really modest but I think that was a pretty good explanation for Kouji, without making anyone look bad. :D:D Oh yeah. HELP PEOPLE!! I don't know how Kouichi should wake up SOB he can't sleep on forever!!
By the way, I'm really sorry about the people who got bored during the chat log. I don't plan to write another one because it was pretty boring to write too -.-. I suppose if any of you did read it, it'll explain what happened during the last week and how each character reacted. Oh well... hangs her head sheepishlyLALALALA! Don't know what I should do. I WOULD update the next chappie IF I find out a good enough reason for Kouichi to wake up. Seriously, I don't want to make him a zombie and wake up all of a sudden. Anyway, I have a good idea on what will happen to cough when he does wake up. - Please RR
Omg. I forgot one thing. THANK YOU TO ALL READERS THAT REVIEWED!! That was really really really nice of you to say that. All of you, wipes a tear. You all inspired me to continue. Sorry for not updating for so long though. I forgot to update like... 5 days ago when I finished :P:P
