Kappa EbisenShrimp Chips (Popular in Japan)
By the end of the day group five had covered what everyone's favorite food was to what brand of underwear they were wearing that day. The underwear conversation had started when Kouji had turned around and his shirt went up to reveal a little bit of blue boxers peeking out from his pants. Aiko had yelled 'Undies!' While Kouichi had blushed, Kouji had pulled his shirt down, and Akiko had laughed.
Now they were going home, but not if Akiko could help.
"Let's go to a café!" Akiko said once they had stepped out of the school's gate.
"It's hot today, we should get ice cream!" Aiko began fanning herself with her hand.
"My mom will want me home…" Kouichi's voice trailed off.
"I don't think she'd mind if she knew you were making friends." Kouji walked ahead of his twin to the two girls who were already walking towards the nearest ice cream vendor.
Kouichi gave a distressed look but followed them anyway.
"It feels so good in here!" Aiko sighed as they sat in a booth of an ice cream parlor, their ice cream sitting in front of them.
"I must agree, air conditioning is one of the best things ever invented." Akiko joined in the sighing.
"Here's the bill." A waitress came over and handed the bill to Kouji. At that exact moment, the three others disappeared.
"Sorry Kouji-kun, but I didn't bring any money today." Aiko apologized to a disgruntled Kouji.
"I only brought a few yen." Akiko smiled nervously at Kouji.
"What's your excuse?" Kouji turned an evil eye onto Kouichi.
"Sorry Kouji…but…" Kouichi began backing away.
"You don't have an excuse, do you?" Kouji looked at Kouichi with an evil look in his eyes while he began popping his knuckles. "Five seconds."
"Five seconds?" Kouichi continued to back away.
"One…two…three…" Kouji was getting into running position.
"You better run." Akiko whispered to Kouichi.
"Four…" Kouji braced himself.
Kouichi nodded to Akiko then turned and shot off down the street at high speed.
"FIVE!" Kouji followed his brother.
Akiko looked at Aiko who shrugged and the girls took off after the boys.
"Enjoy the fun while it lasts. You won't survive for a next time." A figure was standing on top of a building nearby. It was the same snaky voice from that morning.
"Kouji! No! Kouji, he'll pay you back!" Aiko held Kouji back from advancing on a trash can as best as she could.
"Then you should pay too!" Kouji yelled, still struggling to get away.
"I'm sorry Kouji…" Kouichi's head peeked out of the trash can.
A few minutes later…
Kouji leaned against a wall, calmed by the fact his brother had given him a few yen to pay back the ice cream.
"Where'd Akiko-chan?" Kouichi asked, looking at the group of three.
"I think she fell behind when we were running…" Aiko looked upwards thoughtfully. Then a thought came to her. "She could be getting murdered right now!" Her face was distressed. "Or mugged or…or…I don't even want to say it!"
"Konichiwa friends!" Akiko walked up to them, holding a bag of what looked like chips.
"Where were you! We were worried sick!" Aiko scorned.
"Actually, you were the only one worried." Kouji muttered to Aiko. She gave him a glare.
"I was running along, following you guys, until I saw a vending machine. And you know what was in the vending machine?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Kappa Ebisen!" She held up the bag which held the shrimp flavored twists. "I thought I would get it to repay Kouji."
"The bag is open." Kouichi pointed out.
"I couldn't help myself…" Akiko cried. "But there's still some left!"
"Good, I'll take them." A boy of thirteen walked up to them and took the bag forcefully from Akiko. His hair as purple and shaggy, it hadn't been combed for days. His eyes were green and we wore a purple shirt with a smiley face on it, khaki pants, black flip flops, and a red bandana around his neck. He put some of the kappa ebisen into his mouth.
"Hey! Those…or what's left of them are Kouji's!" Akiko yelled.
"If you want them, you're going to have to come get them." The boy began to walk into an alley.
Akiko charged down the alley, a determined look upon her face.
"Akiko-chan!" Kouichi followed her.
"I'm not going to let you get mugged again!" Aiko stomped down the alley.
Kouji sighed and followed the others.
The boy continued down the alley and into a spare lot. He tossed the empty bag at Akiko's feet.
"You little punk!" She yelled at him while pointing an accusing finger.
"It's time to bring the Digidestined of Darkness into custody!" The boy yelled. Two ears appeared on his head, even though they looked nothing like any animal ever seen on Earth before. A tail popped out from behind him. All in all, he looked like Impmon.
"Who…what are you!" Aiko demanded.
"I am a human who was merged with the Digital Monster Impmon. Now move out of the way, I want that boy!" He pointed to Kouichi.
