Hi everyone! Here's chapter 5! This is a short chapter for the reason that it's something like a prologue to the next chapter. Anyway, hope you enjoy reading! I also want to thank all those who read and reviewed!

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon (I'll settle for fanfiction, well, for the meantime that is...)

Chapter 5: A peek at Hikari's Diary

"Hey Hikari! Me and mom are going to the store, are you coming?", asked Taichi. It was another one of those shopping Sundays where Taichi, Hikari and their mother went to the store to buy food and other necessities. Hikari was normally the one asking Taichi if he would like to come but this time, it seems that the tables have been turned.

"I have to do something, you go on", replied Hikari.

"Okay dear, we'll be back in a little while", said Mrs. Yagami. Taichi, Agumon and their mother left the house, leaving Hikari and Tailmon alone.

"Okay, so what's so important that you didn't go with Taichi, Agumon and your mom?", asked Tailmon.

Hikari didn't answer Tailmon's question and this made her curious. She silently went closer to Hikari. She saw her seated on the chair near her study table, writing something on her diary. She didn't bother alerting Hikari of her presence. She just stood there, reading what Hikari wrote.

February 13:

Dear Diary,

It has almost been a month since Keru and I became a couple. I've been so happy since then. The moment Keru and I finally confessed our feelings; I felt the heavy burden was finally lifted. All the pain I felt trying to hide my feelings from him and fearing he didn't feel the same had disappeared. Everything was smooth once again between us; there were no more secrets, no more lies and no more awkward moments.

After that day, we also had our very first date. We had dinner at a very exquisite restaurant. After that, we headed to the park to enjoy each other's company. I really enjoyed that night, even though Taichi and Daisuke were following us. I guess it really can't be helped. Taichi is very protective of me. But after that, Taichi and Daisuke promised never to bother us again when we went on a date.

Our date, from that point on, was great. A week after our first date, we went to see a movie. So okay, we weren't actually attentive during the movie. Mostly we kissed and gazed at each other but that was fine with the both of us. We proceeded to the park after that, doing the same thing. I really can't help myself but stare at Keru's cute smiles and handsome face. When I look into his deep blue eyes, I can feel so many indescribable feelings. When he holds me near, it seems as if we were the only two around. Every silent moment between us gives more meaning than when we speak…

On another note, we have had only two dates since then .Our teachers have been bombarding us with homework these few weeks. I'm assuming they're giving us this since they won't have another chance next year. Summer is already near and we will be moving up another level soon so they're taking advantage of it. At least tomorrow will be a great day. I'm going to spend the day with my dear sweet Keru.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, by the way. I'm really excited since tomorrow is the very first Valentine's we will experience together, as a couple. I'm also really curious to know what Keru has planned for tomorrow. He won't tell me though. He just told me to wait for him after class tomorrow. I really can't wait but I guess I have no other options at the moment.

That's all for now…

Hikari Yagami ♥

Hikari closed the pink diary she was writing on. Tailmon noticed something engraved on the pink diary. It said "I love you with all my Heart and Soul" which was written in cursive, shimmering beautifully in the light. It also had a cute picture of Takeru and Hikari on the cover.

"So this must be the present Takeru gave Hikari a week ago…" thought Tailmon.

"So that's the reason why you wanted to stay behind", said Tailmon suddenly. Hikari was startled by the digimon behind her.

"You scarred me!", said Hikari. She had a hand on her chest, trying to regulate her heart beat.

"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to scare you", said Tailmon, bowing her head in apology.

"Don't worry, it's alright", replied Hikari.

"So… tomorrow's Valentine's Day, right?", asked Tailmon with a slight grin on her face.

"Yeah, it is. Why'd you ask?"

"Well, what do you plan on giving Takeru?"

"It's a secret. I can't tell you!", exclaimed Hikari cheerfully.

"Aw, c'mon. I promise not tell anyone!", said Tailmon. Hikari giggled at her digimon.

"Yeah right. Like the time you told me you wouldn't tell anyone that I say Keru's name when I sleep."

Tailmon face became a shade of pink. She did promise that she wouldn't tell anyone but she got carried away with Patamon.

"It's not like it's a big deal or anything. Takeru does it as well…", said Tailmon quietly. Hikari giggled.

"As much as that is true…", she started. "I still can't tell you"

"Aw… please?", asked Tailmon. She put on the cute puppy dog eyes act (a/n: wait, she's a cat! Oh well…). She knew Hikari couldn't resist her when she did that. But this time, she was wrong.

"Sorry, not working! I won't tell you.", said Hikari. She was smiling slightly. Tailmon dropped the act and sighed in defeat.

"Fine, I won't ask anymore…", said Tailmon gloomily.

"Why do you wanna know? Planning on giving Patamon something?", she asked, checking if her suspicions were correct. She gave a triumphant smile when she saw Tailmon turn a pale shade of pink.

"I knew it!", exclaimed Hikari. Tailmon tried to keep her composure but it wasn't working so she finally decided to ask since it was pointless hiding it.

"Well, any suggestions? I couldn't think of anything to give to Patamon - you know - as friends". Hikari gave her a "yeah-right-like-I'm-gonna-believe-you" look. Tailmon frowned at Hikari upon seeing her expression.

"I'm serious! I don't like Patamon the same way you like you Takeru...", said Tailmon.

"Whatever you say", said Hikari sarcastically. This earned her a frown from Tailmon.

"Anyway, why not make chocolates to give to Patamon?", suggested Hikari.

"I can't really cook, or bake or whatever you do to make chocolates!", exclaimed Tailmon. She then sighed. "Can't we just buy some?" Hikari was now the one frowning at Tailmon.

"It's better if they were homemade since it shows how much you truly love him or her! Well, in this case him.", said Hikari in a matter-of-fact tone. "But don't worry, I'll help you! Making chocolates is easy, after you learn that is. But you could've told me earlier so we could have gone with mom and the others to get what we need…"

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go! And I said I didn't like Patamon in that way!". Hikari wasn't able to respond as Tailmon suddenly grabbed her hand and started pulling her out the door.

"Wait! I'll leave a note for Taichi and Mom to read so they won't worry when they get back". Tailmon nodded and patiently waited for Hikari near the door.

"Dear Mom and Taichi, went to the store to buy something. Be back in a while - Hikari". She read her note out loud, making sure it was correct. She then left the note on the table in the living room. She went to the door and, after putting her shoes on, ran after Tailmon.

"Wow, she's really eager" though Hikari. She ran at top speed, trying to catch up to her digimon.

"Wait up!", she yelled, trying to get Tailmon to slow down. Tailmon heard her and she stopped, waiting for her to catch up.

"Tomorrow should be interesting…" thought Hikari. She caught up and started walking with Tailmon to the store. "Yeah, it should be very interesting…"

Okay, this ends chapter 5! Was it good? Bad? Please tell me by reviewing! Thanks! And about the pairings - Takari (& another one) - though the seond pairing won't have anything to do with the 01 digidestined characters (that should give you a hint - (smiles) )
