Disclaimer- I don't own Digimon! If I did, Kouji would hate me, and Kouichi'd probably think I was weird! OH WELL! We can't always get what we want.


Fessing Up And Explanations With A Splash Of Pink Paint And The Smell Of Burnt Bandanas


"KOUJI! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM!" Kouichi yelled, running out of his room and then to Kouji's. He stopped there, noticing the bag of paint. Pink paint...? What the heck was Kouji doing with pink paint? he thought, but shrugged. He placed a stood behind the door and set the paint over it, wondering what Kouji's response would be when he found himself covered in pink paint. Oh well. It's not like he's gonna paint his room pink. And I'm in a bad mood anyway! Hiding a grin, Kouichi ran back into his own room and noticing something.

Something pink.

"DON'T KILL ME, KOUICHI! TAKUYA AND JUNPEI HELPED TOO!" Kouji wailed, standing up and panicking.

Takuya glared. "Don't drag us into this!"

Tomoki and Izumi snorted and replied, "Go ahead and drag them in, Kouji."

"HEY!" Junpei groaned. "Not me..."

Kouichi walked into the living room, a thoroughly confused look on his face. "Kouji...what's with your room? It's all..."

"ACK! MY ROOM!" Kouji yelled, racing into his room. As he pushed the door open, the paint can fell on his head, and the pink paint he would have used on Kouichi's room fell on him.

Laughing, Kouichi fell on the couch, pointing at his brother who was now covered in pink paint. "Wait there, Kouji, I'll go get a towel to clean up the mess. Mom'll kill us, but that was hilarious," he laughed, disappearing into the bathroom and returning with a roll of paper towel and a towel for Kouji. "So, you three, explain the pink spot on my wall," Kouichi said after handing his brother the towels and sitting on the arm of the couch and folding his arms with a smile on his face.

Junpei and Takuya both entered a coughing fit, even rolling on the floor to try to avoid the horrible fate that awaited them all. If there would be a horrible fate.

Kouji thanked luck for his brother being in good humor. "Well, that's funny, you see. We, uh, well, we were gonna paint your room and, uh, so we decided to paint your room indigo, but Takuya had the pink paint..."

"And?"

"And it must've accidentally been splashed against the wall and we didn't notice!" Takuya finished, worried that Kouji would freak out from the pressure. He's such a Lucemon...you know, Lucemon doesn't seem half as bad now...

"LIARS." Shifting his position, Kouichi shook his head. "I'm not stupid, Takuya," he said when he saw his friend's jaw drop.

"B-But that is the truth!" Junpei sputtered.

"Sure, to you. Now tell me the truth, Kouji."

"OKAY, OKAY!" Kouji snapped, drawing a breath and then explained what he had done very quickly.

Kouichi just smirked. "What's that? Too fast. Slow down."

Whimpering, Kouji muttered in a quiet voice, "We painted your room pink."

"What? Too quiet."

"WE PAINTED YER STUPID ROOM PINK, DAMMIT! HAPPY NOW!" Kouji yelled, "EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I FELT GUILTY! SO WE REPAINTED IT INDIGO! AND WE ONLY PAINTED IT PINK ON TWO WALLS!"

Takuya and Junpei's eyes widened.

"Dang, he's brave," Takuya muttered.

Junpei nodded. "I'd never do that!"

Takuya just laughed and whacked Junpei's back, "That's cuz we're spineless cowards!"

"I really wonder how we got through the digital world with Takuya as the leader," Tomoki whispered to Izumi.

Izumi nodded. "He's such an air head."

"I HEARD THAT!" Takuya snapped.

"Going back to the matter at hand," Kouichi said smoothly.

Kouji glared at his brother. "TAKUYA, JUNPEI AND I PAINT YOUR STUPID ROOM INDIGO AND YOU REPAY ME BY SPLASHING ME WITH THE STUPID PINK PAINT!" he shrieked, wiping himself off with the towel and throwing it on the floor, stomping towards his brother.

Kouichi glared back. "Yeah? Well...well, I had to suffer pity, go into a store just to get you over three hundred bandanas, that were well over three hundred dollars, but since the stupid shop keeper was so-"

"KOUICHI! HE WASN'T STUPID!" Izumi yelled angrily.

"He lost a profit! He's stupid!"

"He was being nice, okay? He's not stupid!"

"Whatever! LET ME CONTINUE!"

"NO! HE'S NOT STUPID!" Izumi raged.

Kouichi fell silent as his eyes widened.

Takuya whispered to the others, "Angry Izumi, very, very scary."

"I can tell. I'm just scared being in the same room as her," Junpei agreed, edging towards the door.

"HE'S NOT STUPID, OKAY? NOT STUPID! NOT! YOU ARE, YOU STUPID, STUPID IDIOT! AAAAAAH!" Izumi yelled, nearly strangling Kouichi.

"IZUMI, I think you can stop now," Takuya said hastily, hoping he wasn't too late and Kouichi had died. He preferred Kouichi alive, despite the fact that meant he usually had to do the dishes along with Kouji and Junpei. "I thought Kouichi was Lucemon...Izumi's an eviler version of Lucemon. Ten times worse."

Kouji could only nod as Izumi let go of Kouichi and stormed over to the door, leaning against the wall.

Regaining his composure, Kouichi cleared his throat. "Er...hi. What was I saying?" he wondered aloud.

His brother answered, "I think you were talking about what you did that was so torturous, in your terms."

"RIGHT! Okay, as I was saying, I went to a store where I could've possibly run into dad, got pitied by a shopkeeper, had to carry two stup-"

"YOU BOUGHT THOSE BANDANAS, KOUICHI. DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT CARRYING THEM," Izumi growled.

Squeaking, Kouichi fell silent, drawing several breaths before he continued, "Had to carry two boxes of bandanas while Izumi and Tomoki had to carry one, too. I mean, seriously, they shouldn't have had to carry any."

"Right, so what's the big deal?" Kouji snapped.

"The big deal is that I come home after all this and find a pink spot in my room. You better paint over it tomorrow," Kouichi warned his brother.

"Yessir!" Takuya and Junpei saluted.

The rest of them blinked.

Finally, Kouichi asked, "Are they in the army?

Kouji shook his head. "They're in army-mode. Something Takuya started and didn't finish. You know, the usual Takuya-ness..."

"Ah..."

Silence ensued as Takuya and Junpei began marching around the room.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP ALREADY!" Izumi burst.

Immediately, the two stopped, fearful of Izumi's wrath.

Tomoki giggled. "This is funny. I thought Junpei was smarter than that," he chortled.

"Junpei? Smart?" Izumi asked, bursting out into laughter. "With Takuya and Kouji around, who is smart!"

"EINSTEIN!"

The two burst out into even more laughter.

"I have a feeling that this is getting a bit out of hand," Kouichi murmured slowly, as Takuya and Junpei began marching again and Tomoki and Izumi continued laughing.

"Yeah. Way to go Kouichi," Kouji muttered, walking over to his brother.

Kouichi glared. "Oh, so now it's my fault?"

"It was always your fault!" Kouji snapped back.

The two entered a glaring contest.

"It's really your fault, you know," the older said heatedly.

"HAH! My fault! Take the blame for once, my dear older brother!"

"I'm older...by minutes and seconds, not hours or days or months or years! I mean, seriously! What happened to you! Digital world, you've got this, 'I'm a solo sport' attitude, and now you're a goofy idiotic CLOWN."

"Yeah," Kouji mumbled in defense, "but you grew up too fast."

Kouichi's jaw dropped. "Don't tell me you're using that lame 'I'm catching up on lost years,' excuse."

"SO WHAT IF I AM?" Kouji snapped.

Everyone else was watching with immediate interest.

"Who's gonna win?" Tomoki asked excitedly.

"Kouji!" Takuya exclaimed.

Junpei snorted. "Don't be stupid. Kouichi's smarter."

"Y-yeah! Well, Kouji's stupider!"

Izumi tried not to laugh. "I have my doubts now. I think that Takuya's the stupidest."

"IZUUUUMIIII!" Takuya whined. "That's so meaaaan!"

"Stop whining."

"Yes ma'am."

"HAH, I'm so nice, I painted your room indigo. I'm better than a younger twin!" Kouji snapped.

Clutching his stomach, Kouichi laughed. "That's a first. That's the only nice thing you did. What did I do? I let you have a room here, I bought you birthday presents whereas you forgot all of mine, and now I buy you bandanas. Seriously, I'm too nice for my own good!"

"WHAT PRESENTS!" Kouji yelled. "I never got them!"

Everyone fell silent.

"No, really, what presents?" Kouji asked again.

"Okay...well, your presents are in the boxes," Kouichi said, shaking his head.

Kouji clapped his hands together. "OOH! You mean like a surprise!"

"Yeah, a surprise..." The older twin shot a look of confusion towards the others, who merely shrugged in response. Is he seriously my brother? How can he be so stupid…?

Kouji opened all the boxes and yelled in triumph. "AWESOME! BANDANAS! TWO BOXES OF MY AWESOME COOL BANDANAS THAT I ONLY HAD EIGHT OF! NOW IT'S-Er, Kouichi, how many of these cool ones did you get?" he asked his brother.

"Two hundred." On a mental note, Kouichi added, To burn.

"TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT...and other weird bandanas I don't really care about. Sweet...this one looks nice!" Kouji said, trying on one of the new bandanas. "Holy Digimon, a duck...?"

The others exchanged looks and sighed, all thinking, Typical Kouji.

"Oh, hey, Kouichi, wanna know why we painted your room indigo?" Kouji muttered randomly.

Flashing a look at the sheepish Takuya, Kouichi asked, "Why?"

"Well, we found out something, and then I felt guilty, but I can't remember what that something was..." Kouji supplied in turn.

Smiling evilly, Kouichi walked over to a box of one hundred of what Kouji deemed his 'cool bandanas' and picked it up, looking at Takuya. "What was it, Takuya?"

"Uh...I...uh, ask Junpei!" Takuya suggested.

Junpei looked around. "UHM...OKAY! OKAY, WE GIVE IN! WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE BANDANAS! AND KOUJI FELT GUILTY!" he blurted out, practically sobbing on Takuya's shoulder.

Takuya looked at his shoulder where Junpei was still crying. "Junpei..."

No answer.

"JUNPEI! GET OFF MY SHOULDER, NOW!" Takuya yelled, pushing the boy off his shoulder and hiding behind Tomoki and Izumi.

Kouichi chuckled, suddenly amused. "And if I didn't get the bandanas...?"

"We wouldn't have painted your room indigo," Junpei muttered, defeated.

Sighing, Kouichi nodded. "Thanks for the truth. Okay, then, Kouji, how about another surprise...?"

"OOH! Another surprise! What is it? Did you get video games?" Kouji asked excitedly, still in his child-like state.

Kouichi responded with equal enthusiasm, "NO, but I've got a great game!"

"WHAT IS IT! STOP MAKING ME WAIT!"

Tossing the box of bandanas into the fireplace and lighting up, Kouichi set his face straight. "It's called, 'How loud can Kouji scream about his bandanas.' You have ten seconds. Good luck." Walking into his newly painted room, Kouichi plugged his ears and shut the door.

The rest of them winced and plugged their own ears as Kouji yelled, "NOT THE BANDANAS!"
