Author: xxShadowSpiritsxx
Summary: Takuya, Izumi, Kouji, and Kouichi all attend the same middle school. And of course, this means new arrivals, new challenges, and new problems to face. (A twist of teenage romance, humor, and drama.)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this fic, except the fic itself.
xxShadowSpiritsxx: Heyo! It's been a while since I've posted or updated any of my fics. But, at last the summer has come! I've started some new fanfics and this is the second of them. Obviously, in the summer there is much more time to do stuff, and I've dedicated some time into writing fics : ). Anyways…I haven't quite decided where to go with some of them, especially this one. One day I just decided to start typing and came up with the first chapter of this fic. Then, I just continued it, writing whatever came into my head. LOL! Well…yeah that's basically how this fic came to be…and hopefully, I won't criticize it too much and decide not to continue writing. Anyways, happy reading! And don't forget to review at the end!

SONG OF THE BIRD
Chapter 1: Welcome Backxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The sun shone through the floating clouds, the trees glistening shades of orange, red and brown. A cool breeze swept through, and the playful leaves danced and fluttered to the ground. All was quiet. Peaceful. Except for one single robin, singing its harmonious melody of autumn.

"Hey, wait up!" A racing Izumi called as the two twins turned around to see who it was. The smiling blonde rushed up to them. "Man, I'm surprised you guys walk so fast! I was chasing you for a whole 2 blocks!"
"You know what I'm surprised about? How we haven't seen each other in two months, and the first thing you say isn't even a 'hello'." Kouji Minamoto put his hand out, offering it to Izumi Orimoto, who was huffing and puffing, kneeling on the ground, from all of the running she had done. "But anyways--"
"Oh my god, I missed you guys SO much!" She jumped up and threw her arms around them both.
Kouji remembered this from an experience in the Digital World. Again, he blushed nervously and looked away. Kouichi Kimura, on the other hand, was delighted to see Izumi's joy, and smiled back. He looked at his brother, and they both blushed, turning their heads to a different direction.
Finally, she let go of the two. The twins were instantly relieved. They were always quite shy when it came to being around a person of the opposite sex, even if it was a best friend.
Kouji continued, "But anyways…Yeah, how can you run in a skirt?"
"Ah, the wonders of the world: 'How can girls run in skirts?' 'How can they put on make-up while driving?' 'How is it that they can slap you, but you can't lay a finger on them?'…" Izumi laughed. "That's just one thing you'll never know."
Kouichi raised an eyebrow. "Sure…okay, whatever…" He rolled his eyes and then said, "On a totally different topic, what's up? How was your summer in Italy?"
"Oh, so many exciting things happened while I was there! But I'll explain it all as soon as we meet up with Takuya. By the way…where IS he?"
Kouji decided to add to their conversation, as he was unusually quiet. Kouichi was typically the most silent out of them all. He couldn't let his brother steal it away. "Well, you know Takuya…he's always late, except if it has something to do with food."
"Good point," Izumi thought. "Hey I just noticed something. Why are we just standing here? Shouldn't we be walking while we talk? School starts in twenty minutes! We'd better hurry!"
Izumi's family had just moved houses at the end of summer, and she now went to the same middle school as Kouji, Kouichi, and Takuya.
"Don't worry. It's only a five-minute walk from here. Fifteen minutes total, starting from my place."
"Oh…well as you know, I'm kind of new here and I don't know my way around. If I hadn't seen you and Kouichi this morning, I'd probably end up late for my first day of a new school! And as you also know, I'm really bad with directions."
"Yeah…" they both said in unison.
Izumi, Kouji, and Kouichi started walking down the quiet street again, Izumi between the brothers. They chatted about adventures over the summer, and how they were looking forward to the new school year.
The sun continued to shine above them, and the clouds floated by. The trees that lined the street blew in the gentle wind. The singing bird flew, still humming its song, following the three into the distance.
