Digimon: Return To MeChapter 5: Truth, refusal and planning
The day after that, Izumi awoke, and recovered well. The class returned home, each person feeling different emotions.
A week later, at the weekend, Takuya visited Izumi. From his bedroomwindow, Kouji saw his best friend enter Izumi's house. His heart, for no reason, was beating fast, so he decided to distract himself by practising in his private gym.
Izumi's mother let Takuya in. She knew about her daughter's boyfriend, but recently, she hadn't seen the two of them together much.
"Well, hello Takuya."
"Hi Mrs Orimoto." Takuya smiled politely. "I'm here to see Izumi."
"I figured." Mrs Orimoto pointed upstairs. "She's in her room. I'm sure you know where that is."
"Yes. Thanks."
"You're welcome dear."
Takuya made his up the stairs and headed towards Izumi's room. Her house was big, but he remembered where her room was…one of the only things he could remember.
He reached the door and knocked gently. "Mum? Is that you?" Izumi's voice floated towards Takuya's ears.
"No Izumi. It's me, Takuya." He answered. "Can I come in?"
"Sure." Takuya opened the door and took in Izumi's room for the millionth time. It had lilac walls, a purple carpet, a desk with a computer on it, two chairs, a double bed and a couple of wardrobes and cupboards. Over the past years, she had changed her favourite colour from pink to purple. He saw his girlfriend at her desk, typing fast on her computer.
"Hi Izumi." Takuya closed the door behind him.
"Hi." Izumi swivelled round on her chair and smiled, though her eyes showed fatigue. "Why are you here Takuya?"
"Well…I wanted to talk to you." Takuya trailed off. Izumi stood up and brought the other chair from the corner of the room and put it behind Takuya.
"Thanks." he sat down.
"No problemo." Izumi nodded and sat down again. "You were saying?"
"Well, I want to talk about…our relationship…" Takuya found himself unable to continue again.
"Takuya…I've been wanting to talk to you too about this." Izumi said, looking down at her hands clasped on her lap.
"You have?" Takuya was surprised.
"Yeah…somehow…I feel…this isn't gonna work out." Izumi finally said.
Takuya nodded. "Not just that…Izumi, I'm gonna be honest here…but I've fallen for another girl…"
"Keira, right?" Izumi voiced Takuya's answer.
"Yeah." It was Takuya's turn to look at his hands.
"That's what I like about you Takuya." Izumi smiled sadly. "You're always honest."
Takuya didn't know how to reply to that comment, so he remained silent and smiled in return at her.
"I think…we should break up." Izumi at long last said, breaking the awkward silence.
Takuya looked up. "Izumi, I---"
Izumi placed a finger on his lips to silence him. "Takuya, it's for the best."
Takuya looked at her, his eyes bored into hers. They showed no emotion whatsoever.
"I'm sorry Izumi." Takuya stood up, and Izumi withdrew her finger.
"Don't be, Takuya. We did the right thing. We can't keep living a lie."
Takuya opened the door. "Well…see you then."
"Bye." Izumi lifted her hand in a sign of goodbye. "Oh, and Takuya?"
Takuya turned back and looked at his ex-girlfriend. "Yeah?"
"Congratulations. I'm happy for you."
It took Takuya few seconds to work out what Izumi meant. He smiled forlornly.
"Thanks." And he left.
Izumi turned back to the words on her computer that she had been reading. She had been on , when she had bumped into Hilary Duff's new song, Fly. After that, she found the lyrics. She read through them once more.
(I am NOT a big fan of Hilary Duff. But the words really worked for me.)
Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly over up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly over up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
And we're you're down and feel alone,
And want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else,
Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday,
Fly over up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to fly,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
Any moment, everything can change.
Izumi sighed and bent back on her chair. She felt like crying. Her heart felt torn after losing Takuya. And now she asked herself, why? Why had she done this. Agreed to do this?
"Why?" Izumi looked up at the ceiling. She suddenly saw Kouji, his head swimming into view.
"What the hell!?" Izumi cried and looked down again, breathing fast. "Why is this happening?" she thought. "I see him everywhere…could I be falling for him?"
Izumi stared at the words on her computer screen. She stared at her reflection on the plastic. And then her face splintered into tears.
At school…Takuya talked with Keira at break and told her of what had happened.
"What!?!" Keira exclaimed. "I didn't want you and her to break up! I didn't want this to happen! I didn't!"
Takuya stood, speechless.
Kouichi and Eva came up to them. "Is everything alright?" Eva frowned.
"We broke up." Takuya croaked, barely audible.
"Who, you and Izumi?" Eva asked, eyes wide with concern and surprise.
Takuya nodded.
Later…"Right…" Kouichi rubbed his chin as Takuya finished his guilty story of him and Keira's budding relationship and him and Izumi's late lack of love.
"We suspected you two…" Eva smiled gently. "But…"
"We also think there's something invisible going on between Izumi and Kouji." Kouichi continued for her.
"Really?" Takuya looked at his friends in surprise.
"Well, Kouji is my twin brother, I mean…whoops…" Kouichi smiled nervously as he realised the words had slipped his lips. Eva and Keira were staring at him with astonishment, and Takuya was giving him a look of aspiration.
"He's your twin brother?" Keira spluttered.
"I thought you two looked similar." Eva pondered, eyeing Kouichi. "but you have different surnames."
"That's a long story." Kouichi sighed. "But we have to do something about them, you know. Like I was saying, Kouji is my brother, and I know him well."
Takuya nodded. "I don't want Izumi to be sad…"
Eva put her hand on Takuya's arm. "Don't feel guilty, Takuya. You can't choose who your heart decides to love in the end."
Kouichi made eye contact with Eva for a split second, then both looked away.
In class…Izumi was shifting uncomfortably beside Kouji, who was glancing at her now and again.
Suddenly, Miss Hida began to give out more leaflets. "Class, next week is the Christmas disco for the year nines."
Everyone began to whisper excitedly. Kouji and Izumi were surprised. Kouji because he hated discos, and Izumi because she had completely forgotten that Christmas was approaching, and she was shocked that it had come so fast.
"You all need a partner of the opposite sex." Miss Hida continued. Some girls giggled.
"Guys. This is our chance." Kouichi hissed to Eva, Takuya and Keira.
Princess Viv: Oh, I can't believe that this story is almost finished! That was fast!Chikomon: How many chappies does it have?
Leafmon: Only seven.
Chikomon: ONLY SEVEN!!! THIS IS ALREADY THE FIFTH CHAPTER!
Princess Viv: Well, there MIGHT be an epilogue…
Chikomon: But your first ever fic on Golden Sun is going to have around twenty chapters!
Princess Viv: Well, I had a better plot for that…anyway, if the Digidestined had been fighting, or that kinda stuff, I would've made it longer. But there is no fighting!
Chikomon: Fine… grumbles inaudibly Now the other muses get to be in loads of chapters, whilst me and Leafmon disappear forever.
Princess Viv: Don't say that.
Chikomon: It's true…you haven't planned to write more Digimon…yet.
Princess Viv: True, but I wanna focus on my Golden Sun…anyway, there are still four Digimon stories to be written. But they're not on season four. Two on season one and two, one on season three and one on all of them joined!
Leafmon: Hopefully, you'll write those ones soon!
Princess Viv: Yep! Please review everybody!
Chapter 6: ??? (I don't have my storyline guide on this computer, so I can't name it yet…)
