Houjun Ri: Sorry I haven't updated. School has been, ugh. Not to mention I'm also watching Digimon Savers, so it's sort of taking my time. Ahh, I love the main character Masaru. :
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.
Chapter Six
"Koushiro! Everybody is ready let's get going!" cried Mimi from downstairs.
Slowly Koushiro sat up and shook his head. He was tiered and it was the second day of living in America with no parent supervision. He gently set foot on the hard wood floor and stood up. Koushiro gave a low yawn and decided to go to the small closet. Pulling out his usual attire he also took out swimming trunks; because today was the day he was going swimming.
"KOUSHIRO!" he heard her yell.
"I should never had met Mimi in first grade…that or I should have never went to that summer camp…" he mumbled putting his trunks in a small black duffle bag and some other things he wanted to bring. Again yawning he walked out of the room when he put on his shoes. Lazily walking down the stairs he met irritated eyes that belonged to the lovely Mimi.
"Well finally we were waiting for you for two hours!" whined Mimi tapping her foot and crossing her arms.
"Sorry slept late…"
"Jet lag?" questioned Wallace coming from the living room.
Koushiro nodded and felt something on his arm. Looking at his left side he noticed that Hikari was hugging his arm.
"Let's go now! I don't want to be late," she said pulling Koushiro to the main entrance.
Dragging Koushiro, Hikari motioned Wallace and Mimi to either hurry up or be left behind. The two English speakers looked at each other and shrugged. The both of them followed their friends and got in the car letting Wallace drive the car. The pool wasn't very far away from Wallace's home. It just took fifteen minutes to get to the small town.
"We're heere!" cried Mimi with excitement. Both Koushiro and Mimi were stuck behind the truck that Wallace owned while Hikari was on the front with Wallace. Koushrio stared at the excited Mimi with boredom. He sighed and got out of the car without so much enthusiasm. The four of them got inside the building and then separated to go and change.

Iori slowly stood up. Panting for the hits he had received from his grandfather's wooden sword, he moved forward to attack the old man. He had missed by a two centimeters, making it easy for his grandfather to regain his posture and attack him. Instead he had let Iori take a break from all the practice.
Iori walked out of the dojo and stepped outside taking two deep breaths. He missed his little digimon partner that had always supported him and be there for him.
"Iori!"
Iori turned around to see Taichi, the former leader of the digidestine. Iori blinked his green eyes confusedly, by the actions of Taichi. The brunette stopped and panted from all the running he did in Odaiba. While catching his breath Iori cocked his head to the left, wondering why he was running.
"I-Iori…I…I need a place to live…"
His green eyes almost bulged open. Did he hear Taichi right?
"Taichi-san…did you get kicked out of your house?"
The older digidestined boy looked at him dumbfounded. "What?"
"Well…in order for you to ask that question. You would have gotten kicked out of your own home correct?" Iori asked thoughtfully. "You either got some girl pregnant or you are now gay or you broke your mom's one million yen vase."
Taichi chuckled and shook his head. Sure he never talked to the youngest member of the group, but this kid sure did have some good imagination. Taichi nervously scratched the back of his head. Should he tell the truth or go with that lie?
Taichi looked deep into Iori's eyes, trying to find some sort of betrayal. This of course made Iori a bit uncomfortable, being watched intensively made him nervous and scared. Did he do something wrong to Hikari's older brother?
"T-Taichi-san?"
Nothing.
Taichi found no betrayal inside the boy that he was standing in front of him. This would mean that he could finally tell the boy. The brunette sighed and gave up. He was going to tell Iori the whole truth that was making him go insane.
"Iori…I need someone to talk to and that would be you because…well…you're trustworthy," she mumbled rubbing the back of his neck.
Iori blinked and nodded. He did not understand why he was chosen to listen to the holder of courage, but he did.
"Well…you…see…" Taichi suddenly stopped and from the back of his head he felt something chilly. Shivering he decided it was a warning of some sort. Very slowly he turned around; he met Daisuke's hair coming towards him. Anxiously looking both ways he grabbed Iori's hand and both of them hid in a dark alley. The younger and older digidestine noticed that Daisuke was running at least fifty miles per second. Taichi sighed in relieved that Daisuke had not seen them.
"W-Was that Daisuke-san?" asked Iori, his green eyes wide looking at the direction that his leader went. "What's going on with him today?"
Iori turned around and noticed that Taichi was banging his head on the wall. "T-Taichi-san?!"
Taichi sighed again in frustration and tiredness.
"Why are you banging your head on the wall?"
"I really need to see Jyou for this mental help…" said Taichi banging his head again.
Iori sweat dropped, he seriously had weird friends.

Koushiro took a deep breath and sighed. He was holding a cold cola and very slowly took some sips of it. He was waiting for the girls to come out while Wallace went out to get something in the car. Without even noticing he was being surrounded by girls secretly. Some girls passed by and began to giggle at him. When he finally noticed he raised an eyebrow, questioning their actions.
What was so damn funny?
"Koushiro, there you are!" waved Mimi telling him to come to them.
Koushiro made another sigh and walked over to the two girls. Mimi was wearing a white two piece with red polka dots. He then turned to Hikari who was bashfully hiding behind Mimi, trying to cover herself. He tilted his head, questioning her. Hikari looked away still pink in the cheeks.
Mimi noticed Koushiro's actions and turned around facing Hikari. "Hikari-chan! You need to face your fears!"
"T-This isn't a good idea…" whined Hikari.
"What's going on?" asked Koushiro, his hand now wet from the cold cola in his hand. He then switched it to the other hand.
Mimi huffed and put her hands on her hips, turning her head to the back she faced Koushiro. "She's shy because of the two piece she's wearing."
"Eh? Taichi actually let you bring a two piece?" asked Koushiro to Hikari a bit shocked.
Hikari hesitantly shook her head. "N-No…I disobeyed him…"
"Koushiro! Tell her to stop hiding!" whined Mimi giving him the puppy eyes.
Koushiro shook his head and walked in front of Hikari. "It can't be that ba…"
Koushiro stopped his tracks and looked at Hikari. She had a cute pink two piece with yellow stripes. It looked really good on her and he wondered why she was worked up into such little thing.
"I-It's bad isn't it?" said Hikari crossing her arms nervously. "I look to childish to wear this I know…I should just change…"
"No! Don't do that Hikari-chan! Koushiro!" yelled Mimi glaring at the red head. She softly hit the back of his head and glared at him. "Say that it looks good on her! Give her some positive comments!"
Koushiro noticed Mimi and wondered why she had slapped him. "What?"
Mimi crossed her arms and tried to calm her anger down. "Kou-kun…"
Koushiro gulped and knew that Mimi was mad at him. Each time she calls him 'Kou-kun' it would mean danger for him. "Hikari you look really good on that!" he blurted out, not wanting to get hit by Mimi.
"Really?" asked Hikari.
Koushiro nodded giving some looks back at Mimi, wondering if he had done a good thing. He did because Mimi was smiling at him. Sighing in relief, Wallace had finally showed up. The blond stared at both Mimi and then Hikari. He smiled and walked to Hikari, putting an arm around her waist.
"My, you look good," Wallace said winking at her.
Both Mimi and Koushiro felt like barfing. They just had to leave the couple alone and let them have their privacy. The two older teens excused themselves and left. Koushiro took a glance back, noticing that Hikari seemed a bit uncomfortable being left alone with a boy. 'It's my job to watch her, but…' he looked at the girl beside him. 'She wouldn't want me going near them…Sorry Hikari-chan…'

Takeru sat on the couch reading a book. He was at Sora's house having lunch with his brother and his girlfriend, but lunch was not ready yet. He felt a sudden shiver in his spine and looked around the room. His brother, Yamato was helping Sora with lunch back in the kitchen. Takeru shrugged his shoulders and ignored the feeling even if it kept nagging him.
In Iori's house, Taichi had finally confessed to Iori and Jyou, who Iori had called to check up on Taichi, the whole story behind Hikari and Koushiro going to America also how he had to hide that secret. The brunette was in tears of frustration and sadness when he suddenly felt a pang of brotherly senses. Something was not right…
Meanwhile…
"HIKARI!!!" yelled Daisuke looking inside a small play house in the park. "HIKARI-CHAAN!!!"
Daisuke looked both ways when he saw an older man who looked familiar. He had brown hair and dark eyes, like his senpai…Could it really be Taichi's father? Daisuke blinked and stayed still, when he heard him yell his daughters' name.
"You're also looking for Hikari-chan?" asked Daisuke.
The man looked back at him. "Ah, you're Taichi and Hikari's friend! Motomiya Daisuke!"
Daisuke nodded proudly and grinned stupidly. 'Ha! Taichi and Hikari's dad would never remember Takeru at all!'
"We must…" began Susumu Yagami.
Daisuke got the hint and nodded. "Get Hikari from…"
"THAT COMPUTER NERD!" both of them yelled running to a near by camping sight. Both of them had now joined forces to find one of their most important persons.
