Lovelyanime: Welcome back! Sorry it took awhile because I have school, homework, I read other peoples fanfictions, writing another fanfic on another anime(That will appear after Ex-singer) and I haven't been on the computer for a week. On the last chapter I only got two reviews. But that's not going to stop me! (Starts evil laugh)
Zoe: Now can you tell us what the song is called and what anime it was from?
Lovelyanime: Of course I can… It was the song 'Power of love' from Sailor Moon.
Takuya: You did a whole binder of it?
Lovelyanime: I got bored when I had to spend most of my summer vacation at my aunts house. Which was about 300 miles away from my friends. Anyway, my cousin made a Sailor Moon binder, mostly about Sailor Venus a couple of years ago and gave it to me. There were only a few pa-
Zoe: Sorry, but I'm sure nobody really is interested in hearing you talk most of the chapter on your life story.
Lovelyanime: Your right(sigh) I'm sorry. I always talk a lot. Let's just start.
Takuya: Finally! I hate listening to her.(Lovelyanime hits him in the head with a frying pan)
Lovelyanime: Don't worry, I'll wake him up to tell us his flashbacks.
Chapter 2-Power of love
Takuya and Zoe were still walking until they stopped in front of a building. They opened the door and walked in to see a bar that sold all kinds of drinks but alcohol, a stage, and only up to about nine people.
"Takuya! I thought I said where there aren't people." Zoe yelled without getting any attention.
"No, you said where there aren't many people." Takuya laughed a little.
"Whatever…Where did you find this place? I don't remember you going here."
"Since you left, I couldn't really go to our meeting place to meet everyone."
"You mean at the park? Why couldn't you go there?"
"Well…I had a dream in the digital World and after you left I just…couldn't go there." Zoe looked at him confusedly. "So Koji, the others and I looked for someplace else to hangout at."
"I see…well there's a table right there." She pointed to a table next to another with a couple talking. Takuya nodded and they sat.
"So Zoe what song are you going to sing? You never did tell me."
"Can't you wait until I'm up on stage?" The girl at the other table stopped talking. "If you really must know I'm going to sing the song Power of lo-" She was interrupted by the girl at the other table.
"Izumi? Is that you?" Zoe turned to see the girl and her eyes widened.
"Rika…What are you doing here?" Zoe looked over to the boy that was with her friend. "Why is Takato here?"
"Because we're going out, remember?" Rika said smiling a little "and I came in town to see you. I came to this place for a break from the search." She looked at Takuya who did not have a clue what was going on. "Is that the guy who your always talking about? What was his name…umm…Takuya."
Zoe started to blush "I have no idea what you are talking about"
Rika and Takato moved their chairs to the table Zoe and Takuya was at. They sat down and saw Takuya staring at them.
"Aren't you that singer that famous singer?" Takuya finally spat out.
"Yeah, but second famous singer next to Zoe." She looked at Zoe who was still blushing from earlier. "And of course Takato is from the famous boy band 'Digital-Tamers'. I guess he's the cutest too."
Takato started to blush like Zoe. "So that's why your going out with me" he laughed.
"Well it sure isn't brains that's for sure. If I wanted to go out with a smarter guy then you from your band, I Would've gone out with Henry or Ryo."
"Sorry to interrupt, but Zoe was about to sing me a song." Takuya said and looked at Zoe still wearing her rain coat. "Aren't you going to take that off?"
"I almost forgot, no wonder it was getting hot" she laughed while taking off her coat. She was wearing a purple shirt with pink words 'lovely angel'(lol). She was also wearing a necklace, but her shirt was covering what was on it.
"You still have that necklace? Your always wearing it, what's so special about it again?"
"Someone gave it to me before I left." She said as held it in her hand.
Takuya couldn't see it in her hand until she let go of it. He looked at it as his eyes widened, it was the same necklace he gave her. It was a red and purple ying-yang locket. He remembered the last night Zoe stayed and J.P had a party for her.
FLASH BACK
Takuya walked in a house with the other Digidestines . He walked behind Zoe and she didn't notice him since she was talking to Koji.
"Boo!" He yelled as he grabbed her by the waist. She was a little startled and tried to brake free from him. But he wouldn't let go.
"Takuya Kanbara! You better let go or else!" She yelled, but he still didn't let go.
"Takuya, let me tickle her!" Tommy yelled as he came from the kitchen. Takuya nodded as he had a evil smile on his face.
"Don't you even thank-" it was to late. Tommy started to tickle her while Takuya was making sure she wouldn't escape.
"I think she's been tortured enough." Koji said as he went to sit down on the couch.
Tommy stopped and sat next to Koji, but Takuya still didn't let her go. He still had his arms wrapped around her waist and Zoe was trying to escape, but gave up.
"What can I do to make you let go?" She asked as she gave up.
"Nothing can make me let go" he laughed.
J.P came in from the kitchen and saw Takuya and Zoe. "About time you two got together." His crush on Zoe had left when he met someone three months later after coming back from the Digital World.
Takuya quickly moved away from Zoe and they both started to blush madly. "We are not going out!" They both yelled at the same time.
"Sure your not…Anyway, the food is ready" J.P went back in the kitchen followed by Koji and Tommy.
Takuya and Zoe just stood there and looked at each other. When they realized they were alone, they quickly went where everyone else was.
After they ate J.P, Tommy and Kouichi were cleaning everything up in the kitchen while Koji, Takuya and Zoe sat in the living room talking.
"I'm going in the front yard for some fresh air." Zoe went out the door, leaving Takuya and Koji alone.
"Have you told her yet?" Koji asked
"What are you talking about? I don't need to tell her anything." Takuya said as he pulled a small box out of his pocket.
"Don't lie to me. You need to tell her that you like her."
"I don't like her." His voice became almost a whisper "I love her…" He got up and went out the door. He walked up from behind Zoe, who was sitting on the porch. "Mind if I join you?"
Zoe looked up to see Takuya over her head "I guess you can, but I'm just looking at the stars."
Takuya sat down next to her "I wanted to give you something" he handed her the small box he was holding.
She took the box and "You didn't have to give me anything."
"In case they make you dye your hair back to blonde and you won't be able to remember me. So if you do, you can look at that and remember."
Zoe opened it and picked up the yin-yang locket. "I love it!" She cried out.
"Open it up and look what's in it."
She opened it and found on the left was the symbol of fire and on the other side was the symbol of wind. After staring at it for a long time, she looked at Takuya and then hugged him.
"Takuya there's something I want to tell you." She said still hugging him.
"There's something I want to tell you too…"
"I-" They both began at the same time, but Kouichi came out seeing Takuya and Zoe hugging. They jumped away from each other with a deep red on both of their faces.
"You guys might want to come inside or else you'll get sick" Kouichi warned them.
It was a cold night, so they went inside with Kouichi. When the got inside Zoe walked to the coach to sit, Takuya glared at Kouichi and punched him in the arm hard.
"OW! What was that for?" Kouichi started to rub his arm.
"I was going to tell Zoe the truth until you showed up." Takuya growled and headed in the kitchen.
After awhile he heard Kouichi cry out again. Takuya walked out of the kitchen to see Zoe walking away angry from Kouichi while he was rubbing his leg.
"What happened? Did Zoe kick you?" Takuya asked.
"She got mad at me since she didn't tell you…Never mind, I can't take this no more." Kouichi said as he headed near his brother for protection.
All night, everyone was enjoying the party. When Zoe tried hitting Kouichi, he pulled his brother in the way. So all night he had three people trying to hurt him. Even though they were mad, Takuya and Zoe felt upset that they never got to tell each other how they really felt.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Well I'll be right back." Zoe said as she started to walk towards the Cherokee(Sorry if I spelled it wrong)machine.
"I noticed you called her Zoe." Rika said before she took a sip of her drink.
"You did too. What's wrong with me calling her that?" Takuya asked.
"Nothing, it's just…All her fans call her Izumi."
Takuya thought for a moment and remembered that Sally and her fans did call her that.(I didn't really type 'Izumi' when her fans were talking. Just pretend they did.). He remembered his friends started to call her Izumi instead of Zoe when she left. Before he responded back to Rika, some music started to play. Everyone looked and saw Zoe on stage with a microphone as she began to sing…
There comes a time
when you face the toughest of fights
searching for a sign
lost in the darkest of nights
'Funny…Didn't she tell me she hates singing that song? Weird…' Rika thought and turned her head towards Takuya who was enjoying her singing. A smirk came to her face 'I see now…'
The wind blows so cold
(you're) standing alone
before the battle's begun
but deep in your soul
the future unfolds
as bright as the rays of the sun
As she song, people from outside could hear her sing. They came in to listen and see who was singing. Zoe also started to dance, but never left her eyes off of Takuya.
You've got to believe
in the power of love CHORUS
you've got to believe
in the power of love
"This song sounds familiar" Takuya said still not setting his eyes off of Zoe.
"You should since it was one of her first song she sang." Takato said taking a sip from his drink.
Blazing emotions
there's a light, that flows from your heart
it's a chain reaction
and nothing will keep us apart
Takuya remembered the song now. It was the first song of hers that he listened to and it was the only one.(I'll put flashback at the end of the chapter)
Stand by my side
there's nothing to hide
together, we'll fight to the end
take hold of my hand
and you'll understand
what it truly means to be friends
"I think we should leave. A lot of people are coming and find out who we are…" Takato told Rika
She looked around and more people from outside were coming in.
"Lets wait until Zoe is done and then we can all go with my our bodyguard." Rika looked at a tall man standing in the back watching them. She looked back at Zoe and noticed she was wearing Takuya's hat as she was about to finish. "I don't thank people recognize her in that hat."
CHORUS
it gives meaning to each moment
it's what our hearts are all made of
You've got to believe, in the power of love
You've got to believe
in the power of love
you've got to believe
in the power of love…
Zoe was still staring at Takuya when she finished until she heard a loud cheer. She looked at a crowed. She took a bow and quickly went to Takuya and the others.
"I think we should leave" Zoe said as she approached the table.
"That's what Takato said and you both are right." Rika said as she signaled the bodyguard.
"Sorry that I made you sing here." Takuya apologized "I didn't thank they could hear you from outside."
"It's okay, but I have a question…" Zoe said then she started to talk quietly, but Takuya couldn't hear her. Rika of course did.
"What did you say?" Takuya asked, handing her the raincoat. Zoe started to blush, not wanting to say it louder.
"She can tell you later. Right now we need to leave." Rika said and looked at Zoe sighing.
They all left the building and started to walk. Rika and Takato wore hoods over their heads. Rika wore sunglasses and couldn't see, but Takato held her hand making sure she didn't run into anything. Zoe was wearing her raincoat and was still wearing Takuya's hat.
"So, where did you guys park?" Takuya looked around.
"We didn't drive, we walked" Rika turned her head to she thought Zoe "Hey Zoe, I think I know what you asked Takuya." Rika whispered "Did you ask him…Do you believe in love?"
"What are you whispering to Takuya about?" Takato asked
'Uh oh…' She thought and took off her glasses to see a blushing Takuya with his eyes very wide.
"I-I t-think y-you got the wrong person" He stuttered and pointed to Zoe who was on the other side of him.
"I was just kidding. Can't you take a stupid joke." Rika put her sunglasses back on and laid her head on Takato's shoulder.
Zoe looked at them and thought they looked happy together. She wished that Takuya and her would be happy together, but they were just friends. It didn't matter that much as long as they were still friends and was happy. She also knew what Rika asked him and she was right. It was kind of funny, but yet she didn't get her answer so at the same time she was happy and sad…
FLASHBACK(Sorry, I didn't want to do it during the song)
Takuya was in his room watching T.V when his mom came in.
"Takuya, you got a package. I thank it's from Zoe and her new music video" She handed the small package to him and left the room.
Takuya opened it and found a letter and a videotape. He quickly opened the letter and began reading it…
Dear Takuya,
This is my first song and I don't think you would like it. You might say it's kind of girlie, but I hope you do like my singing. Don't tell the others that I sent this. You are the only one I gave the video to. I really miss you even with my hair and the necklace. I hope I'll see you soon.
Your friend,
Zoe
"I really miss her too." Takuya said while putting in the tape.
He watched and listened closely as it started. Zoe appeared and started to sing very well. When it was over Takuya took it out and stared at the tape and couldn't believe how good she was. He threw the videotape in his drawer and never looked at it again. The more he could've watched it, the more he would've miss her…
FLASHBACK(I kind of had writers block during this FLASHBACK)
End of chapter 2
Lovelyanime: Sorry if it wasn't good and the misspelled words.
Zoe: You said sorry a lot in this chapter.
Lovelyanime: What? Don't like my Ritsu(Fruits basket) impression.
Zoe: Well, first of all he says sorry more than that and more crazier.
Lovelyanime: True…Anyway, I-( Kouichi comes in.)
Kouichi: Why did you make me get hurt!
Lovelyanime: If you didn't interrupt me, I was going to say sorry about that too. And your not supposed to be here. Only Takuya, Zoe and me are allowed in this story.
Kouichi:…I guess I'll leave then, but please don't do that again.
Lovelyanime: I promise like Zoe promised Takuya she would sing to him.(Kouichi leaves the room)
Zoe: Speaking of Takuya… Soon as he was done with the flashbacks, he blacked out again.
Lovelyanime: He'll wake up for the next chapter. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the chapter…(clears throat)Chapter 3- Rika's flashback.
Zoe: Sounds great! Please review.
