Chikomon: The end is not near!

Leafmon: Hip hip, hooray!

Princess Viv: (chuckles) To the reviewers:

Sakura2387: Thanks. I have to tell you it is over, but if you're interested, and as I just said, there will be a sequel, so watch out for that in the near future.

aligrl34: Yes, unfortunately, this is the end. Thanks. And I'm sorry I took ages updating. It's just that my school demands a lot, since my summer holidays just ended.

starsweetie: Well, thank you. I know you are an amazing author yourself. I wouldn't say this fic is amazing… (blushes) I'm not that good at writing, lol.

kouzumi 4eva: Well… Read on, and find out! (wink)

Stephanie: I love anime too!!! (jumps around) Anyway, it's okay, I don't mind that you got me mixed up, lol. Thanks.

NOTE: There will be several reposts of this fic, because I will alter some things… But nothing big, so if you've already read my fic before, you needn't read it again. Did I mention that I am doing a sequel to this fic? (jumps around)

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.

Digimon Frontier: Return To Me

Epilogue: Only just the beginning

Izumi groaned as she tossed away the purple covers at eight o' clock in the morning. She slammed her hand down on her alarm clock, silencing the continuous rings. Rubbing her eyes, she swung her legs onto the carpeted floor, and looked around her, eyes slowly focusing. She saw what she saw every morning she woke up. There were the lilac walls, soft carpet, desk, and chairs. But this time, something immediately caught her eye.

Shimmering in the morning light on her desk on the other side of the room was the necklace. Its jewels glittered, sending shafts of rainbow colour around the surrounding woodwork. Izumi found herself once again lost in the magnificence of it all, and remembered Kouji. She blushed slightly, stood up, and walked over to the table. Gently, she lifted the accessory out of its open velvet case, and stared at it. The sapphires reminded her of Kouji's eyes…and the previous night.

Flashback…

Kouji's lips were surprisingly warm and gentle as he kissed her, and his arm slid slowly round her waist. Izumi, caught of guard and surprised at his moves, found herself automatically kissing him back. She felt like she was dreaming.

What seemed like eternity passed for both of them. As they pulled away, Kouji still kept his arm firmly around her waist. "Now do you believe me?" he whispered softly in her ear.

Izumi looked up into his dark eyes, the pools of darkness that enveloped her. They matched the stars in the sky. She nodded, speechless, and buried her head in his chest, and whispered, "I love you so much, Kouji-kun."

Kouji smiled, and looked at the sky. "I love you too." He sighed, and hugged her close, never wanting to let her go.

End of flashback…

Izumi walked into school the next day, a large smile on her face. When she entered the classroom, her friends were all waiting for her, including J.P. and Tommy. "Good morning guys." Izumi beamed, and took her seat. She noticed Kouji beside her, and controlled her blushing. He flashed her a smile, not wanting to make his affections for her too public, but…

"Hey, congratulations!" Eva grinned, somewhat looking triumphant.

Izumi raised her eyebrows, slightly suspicious. "What do you mean, Eva?"

"Well, duh! The fact you and Kouji are an item officially now! At last!" Eva moved her hands up in the air, getting excited. "Oh my god, I am so happy for both of you!"

Kouji, who was sitting silently beside Izumi, blushed a little. Izumi herself was the colour of a beetroot now. "Oh, shut up Eva." She complained.

"Ah ha!" Eva was now pointing at Izumi, "Admit it! You're blushing like hell, yes you are!"

To Izumi's great shock, Kouji began to talk, "Yes, yes, it's true, now will you guys stop making a big deal about this?"

Eva grinned like a maniac, whilst Kouichi, Keira, Takuya and Tommy smiled. J.P., however, seemed rather quiet, much to Izumi's concern. Kouji rolled his eyes at his friends' reactions, and proceeded to ignore them, though occasionally sneaking a small glance at Izumi.

At break, Izumi quietly took Eva to one side. "Hey, do you think I've offended J.P. by being with Kouji?" she whispered.

Eva frowned. "Maybe… You know he has always had this humongous crush on you since the two of you met!"

Izumi sighed. She didn't want to hurt her friend's feelings. Eva noticed her friend was upset, and recommended someone else to talk to. "Hey, why don't you chat to Takuya about this?"

Izumi looked up. "Takuya? Why him?"

"Well, apart from you, the others who know him the best are Kouji, Takuya and Tommy. Tommy is kind of young, he wouldn't understand all this lovey-dovey stuff. Kouji, well, you don't want to get him all worked up and worried about this. So your best bet's Takuya." Eva pointed out.

That lunchtime…

After having lunch with her friends, Izumi raced after Takuya, who was heading for football (soccer) practice. "Takuya! Takuya! Wait up!" Izumi yelled.

Takuya, hearing her voice, stopped and turned around. "Oh, hi Izumi." He smiled. "What's up?"

"Well," Izumi looked around, checking that no one was listening in on them, "I want to talk to you about J.P."

"What about him?" Takuya was rather puzzled.

"I want to know what's up with him." Izumi sighed, frustrated. "I'm not sure, but I'm sure J.P. has been acting all strange today, have you noticed?"

Takuya nodded. "Actually I have. And I think-"

"Think what?" Izumi interrupted.

"Hey, let me finish!" Takuya laughed.

"Sorry…" Izumi mumbled.

Takuya smiled. "It's okay. But as I was saying, I think J.P. has fallen for someone else."

Izumi's eyes widened. "Someone else?" she blinked as Takuya nodded confirmation. "Who?"

"Jennifer. She's in his class. Tall, quiet, black hair, green eyes? Ring a bell anywhere?" Takuya replied.

Izumi's eyes widened even more. "Jennifer? Seriously?"

Takuya nodded, and laughed. "And I think Jennifer has a soft spot for him too. This is hilarious, don't you think?"

Izumi nodded, grinning. "I'm so happy for him… And I've finally got him off my back! Well, I won't keep you from practising your football, so I'll just leave." After waving goodbye to Takuya, Izumi slipped into school again, only to bump into Kouji.

He smiled. "Hey."

Izumi smiled back. "Hi Kouji. Guess what…" as Izumi explained about Jennifer, someone else was listening. Someone who shouldn't have been there. Someone who was lurking in the shadows.

After school…

Kouji and Izumi walked slowly home, hand in hand, enjoying each other's company in silence. As they reached their homes, Kouji stopped. "Hey Izumi, I want to say… Well… I want to say that I don't think I could live without you. You've made me a better person too. You gave me so much. Thank you."

Izumi smiled softly, touched by his words, words the old Kouji would never had said, "I want to thank you for everything too, Kouji. And especially for telling me that. I know things like that aren't easy. Harder than most think." She gripped his hand tighter. A few cherry blossoms flew by, some landing in Izumi's locks of blonde tresses.

Kouji grinned, and swept them out. "I love you, did I mention that?" he grinned.

Izumi smiled. "Yeah." The two shared a small kiss, underneath the sakura tree outside their homes. But not so far away, a stranger watched them with narrow, evil eyes, glinting brightly in his hiding place.

Princess Viv: Well, look out for that sequel, people! Bye for now!! I'll miss you all!

Chikomon: As she would say, "'till next time, folks!"

Leafmon: Ta-ra!

Princess Viv: Bye! Please review, and thanks to all the reviewers!
