The First Day Is Full Of Surprises

Chapter 3

A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for all of the reviews last chapter. I know it was kinda a bad spot to stop, but...yeah. I don't have much to say, and I know you're eager to see what happens between Takeru and Hikari, so we should move onto the fic! Hikari POV. And thing in italics are thoughts.

Disclaimer: I shall IM the Digimon stuff to you! Wait...it's not instant messaging? But there's an IM in there...

"W-what did you call me?"

Oh shoot...I hope he isn't insulted or anything...

"Umm...I called you by 'Keru by mistake. It's just that my friend used to say 'stick a fish hook through my eye' so it's kind of a reflex if someone says it. And you wanted to know my name, right? It's - " I started off, but I as cut off by him before I could say my name.

"H-hika? Could it really be you? There's only been one person I have ever let me call me by the name 'Keru. You're Hika, aren't you?"

My eyes widened in shock. It's him...he's finally back! I jumped into his arms and held him close. I rested my eyes on his muscled chest, hoping that he would never go again. "You kept your promise after all..." I whispered.

"...Yeah..."

Flashback 3rd Person POV

Nearby a lake, two young children could be spotted. They stared at the calm water, hearing the water slosh back and forth. He began to speak to her in a gentle voice...

"Hika...I'm moving..." he said sadly.

"What? Where are you going Keru? I don't want you to leave!"

Tears brimmed Hikari's ruby eyes and she clung onto her best friend. "Keru...I don't want you to leave me!"

"I'll come back, Hika. I promise." he said softly.

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a fish hook through me eye!" He said smiling. He knew it would cheer her up, and he was right.

"Keru, you know it's needle!" Hikari giggled. "Okay. But just to make sure you find me, I wanna give you something."

"What is it?" Takeru asked.

"This." she replied, handing him a white fisherman's hat." Try it on, Keru!" Takeru tried it on, taking off his green hat. As he put on his new hat, it fell over his eyes, blocking his vision.

"Hey! Who turned out the lights?" Takeru joked as he pulled his hat up.

"And I got this for you." he said, handing Hikari a digital camera. "Well, actually my mom got it, but it's from me to you, okay?"

"I'll keep it forever, Keru..." I said, putting the camera around my neck. "Keru, make sure you come back okay?"

"I will come back Hikari. I'll come back for my best friend."

Hikari's POV - Present Time

"You're back!" I cried, hugging him even closer than before. He wrapped his arms around me holding me in a deep embrace...that is, until someone coughed and alerted us to the fact that they were watching. Keru and I immediately jumped away from each other, our faces like tomatoes. Just then the bell rang, signaling lunch. As we walked out of the classroom, I pulled his hat over his eyes, waiting to see the reaction.

"Hey! What the - Who turned the lights out?" he said pulling his hat up.

"You still wear it?" I asked.

"I'll never let go of something you gave me." I slightly felt my cheeks get warmer by his comment. "You wanna sit under the sakura trees over there?" he asked.

"Sure." I replied, grabbing my lunch. While eating, I couldn't help but look at my best friend. He sure is cute. And his eyes...I could just lose myself in them...Hey wait! Since when have I felt like this towards him? I shook my head and tried to clear my head. Lunch ended and the rest of the day flew by really fast, and as we were leaving school, Keru gave me his new address so I could come over someday. We found out that his house was on the way to my place, so he walked me home. On our way, we laughed and joked and, as odd as it seems, held hands. It wasn't exactly unusual, since we used to hold hands all the time. We finally reached my home, but instead of letting him go, I invited him in.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked.

"I'm sure! Plus, I want to see Tai's reaction when he sees that I've come home with a guy." she laughed. "Plus, you can always use the phone to tell your mom that you'll be home late."

"Well...okay..." he said nervously. I twisted the doorknob of my home and stepped inside.

A/N: Kind of a bad way to end the chapter, but I'll get to more of it later. They found each other again! So Takeru is going into the old home of the Kamiyas to be reintroduced to Hikari's family...but what is Tai gonna think of it? Read next chapter to find out! By the way, if here are any spelling mistakes, I'm sorry. Thanks to all my reviewers! Until next chapter! - Shikyo Yaiba
