Okay everyone sorry for the delay in updating! Working 6-7 days a week I am basically working/sleeping at this point. But I didn't want to not update my story. This chapter will be the double date. I have done a little research on Japanese food and restaurants. So if I get something wrong then I take all the blame! Anyways on to the chapter.

As always I do not own Digimon. What else is new?

Chapter 19: Double Date

Ken and Yolei both appeared back in their own rooms. It was around 4pm and Yolei knew she had to get ready and head over to Tamachi. Yolei heard her D-Terminal go off and it was a message from Ken.

"Pururumon will want some food. I remember Leafmon being hungry after he first DNA Digivolved. I will see you soon.

Love,

Ken"

She smiled at the message. Yolei put Pururumon on her bed. She went out to the kitchen hoping that no one was home to see her looking like a hot mess. Lucky for her no one was home. She opened the fridge and grabbed some bread. She made some toast and cut it up for Pururumon. She walked back to her room and put the plate down in from of him. He was happy to see the food.

"Okay Pururumon I am going to take a shower. I shouldn't be gone to long okay."

"Okay Yolei. I am probably going to eat this and take a little nap before we leave."

"Lucky."

In Tamachi Ken was going through the same routine. Minomon was fast asleep when he got out of the shower. Ken decided that he would go with a dark grey button down shirt and black slacks. Ken then heard the apartment door open and his parents voices. He left his room and walked into the living room.

"Oh hello dear."

"Hello mom, dad."

"You sure do look sharp son."

"Thanks. My double date with Yumiko and Hiro is tonight."

"Oh yes that is right. What will you be doing tonight?"

"Dinner that I know of. After that I am not sure. Yumiko is the one that planned the entire evening."

"Oh well I hope it isn't something that won't get you into trouble."

"Don't worry mom. I am sure we won't get into any trouble I promise."

"I hope so."

Back in Odaiba Yolei was finishing getting ready. It was about 5pm and her mother said she would bring her Tamachi. She didn't need to do much. She didn't really wear make-up but if Sora or Kari were here they would be applying it and doing her hair. She picked up Pururumon and put him her her overnight bag. Not knowing what they would be doing she asked her family if she could stay over in Tamachi for the night. They said yes as long as she was safe.

"I can't believe you are still seeing Ken Ichijouji."

"You know Chizuru you can knock on my door before you just waltz in."

"Whatever. Are you sure you don't want me to take your place tonight for the double date?"

"I am sure."

"Aw come on! Don't you have some homework or something to do?"

"Nope my homework is done."

"Aren't you supposed to work for Momoe tonight then?"

"Nope that is next week for her date."

"Damn it Yolei please pretend to be sick or something. Just so I can say I had one date with THE Ken Ichijouji!"

"No Chizuru! Now get out of my room!"

"Please baby sister! Don't you love me?"

"Yes I do but you are not going out with my boyfriend."

"But-but..."

"Come on Chizuru leave our little sister alone."

''Stay out of it Mantarou. Besides you were the one who isn't happy she is dating."

"I never said that. I was just making sure he was good enough for Yolei. Only the best for my sisters!"

"Yeah sure you want the best for us. All you want is the apartment all to yourself so you can sneak your girlfriend of the week in here."

"Hey I do not have a new girlfriend every week! Akiko and I seem to really have something."

"Do you guys need to argue in my room?"

"Yes do you need to have your petty fight in her room?"

"Mom!"

"Chizuru you need to go help your sister in the store, now! Mantarou you need to finish cleaning up the kitchen."

"Yes mom."

"Thanks mom."

"You're welcome. You look lovely."

"Thanks."

Mrs. Inoue looked at her youngest daughter. As she was watching her brush her hair she smiled. She was so happy all her kids were happy. Especially now her youngest. They held her back so much because of her studies. But even now with her having a boyfriend and more friends she is still keeping up with her school work and keeping her grades the same. She walked over behind her and smiled at her in the mirror. Yolei returned the smile.

"You look beautiful Yolei."

"Thanks mom. This is a dress that Kari and Sora bought me when I had my first date with Ken."

It was a simple black dress with three quarter sleeves and it hugged her curves and the dress flared out at the bottom. It stopped right above her knees. She knew Yolei needed one more thing to make this outfit perfect.

"Don't move. Let me grabb something and then we can go."

"Okay."

Her mom was only gone for a moment. When she came back she held out a small silver chain that had a dark purple jewel. Yolei just looked in awe at the necklace. Her mother then instructed her to hold up her hair and clipped the chain together.

"There perfect."

"Mom this is beautiful."

"Your father gave it to me on our third date."

"Then I can't take this."

"I insist. It completes your look."

"Thank you mom."

"You're welcome my dear. Are you ready to go now?"

"Yes. I just need to finish getting my over night bag together."

"Okay I will be out in the living room waiting for you."

When Yolei's mother left she finished packing her bag. She grabbed Pururumon and gently put him in the bag. She zipped it up but leaving enough of a hole at the end for air to get through. She turned her light off and walked out. When she walked into the living room Chizuru wasn't there but her father and Mantarou were watching TV.

"Looking good there sis."

"Yes Yolei you look very nice."

"Thanks."

"Ready to go? We don't want to be late."

"Yes I am."

"Be safe Yolei."

"I will dad. I promise."

"I will be back soon."

As Yolei and her mother drove to Ken's apartment they were quiet with the exception of Yolei giving her directions. When they were finally outside of Ken's apartment it was 5:30. Yolei was happy to be early. A little extra time to spend with Ken alone. Well almost alone. She was sure his parents were home. Yolei got out of the car but so did her mother.

"Mom you don't need to walk me up."

"I know I don't need to. But I think it would be nice to meet his parents."

Yolei knew there was no way she would win this argument. This also must have been why her mother had insisted on bringing her over. They entered the building and entered the elevator. Yolei pushed the button to go up to Ken's floor. Yolei say her mother searching her purse for something.

"Before I forget. Your father and I decided this would be a good idea for you. Also since you are still doing so well in school this is a gift for you," she handed Yolei a cell phone.

"Wow. Thank you."

"Well you deserve it. Also the house number is the first speed dial number. Your father programmed that in."

"I figured it would be."

"If you would like call home tomorrow and I can come pick you up tomorrow when you are ready to come home."

"Okay. I will also call if Ken insists on seeing me home."

"Good girl."

The door opened and they walked out. The Ichijouji's door was not far from the elevator. Yolei rang the bell and suddenly felt nervous. What if her mother didn't like his parents? What if she starts saying embarrassing stories about her? Maybe she had time to tell her mother to go back to the car. It was too late. The door was starting to open and of course on the other side was none other than Mrs. Ichijouji.

"Hello Yolei. And you must be Mrs. Inoue."

"I decided to bring Yolei myself if that is alright."

"Of course. I didn't like the idea of her traveling her alone on a Friday night."

"Well I also wanted to meet you as well."

"We were just talking about that as well. We should all get together sometime."

"That would be wonderful. I will talk to my husband about it."

"I will do the same."

"I need to get going. We have inventory to do at the store tonight and our other daughters are helping us."

"Well it was wonderful to meet you Mrs. Inoue."

"Please call me Kimiko."

"And you can call me Natsumi."

"Have a good night Yolei and we will see you tomorrow."

"Bye mom."

"Come on in dear. Let me take your coat."

"Thank you Mrs. Ichijouji."

"Ken honey Yolei is here."

Yolei heard his bedroom door open and close. He came around the corner and Yolei thought he looked handsome. She was beginning to wish it was just going to be the two of them tonight. But she knew they couldn't bail on Yumiko and her boyfriend last minute. Yolei walked over to him and gave him a quick kiss and a hello.

Ken had no words to describe how Yolei looked. Beautiful was not the right word. Exquisite might work but as he looked her over again he knew that wasn't right either. Ken smiled at her which she gladly returned.

"Oh you two look so cute together! Let me get my camera."

"Honey let the kids relax before they go out for the night."

"It is just a picture or two," She said as she came back with the camera.

She started taking pictures of them. Telling them to smile and then telling her husband to get in the picture. She then handed the camera to her husband and she stood with them. Just then the door bell rang again. Mr. Ichijouji went and opened the door and Hiro and Yumiko stood there. He welcomed them in. Yumiko went over and complimented on Yolei's dress and how beautiful the necklace was. Yolei explained that it was her mothers.

"Well we better get going. I made dinner reservations and we have all night to talk!"

"Aright you all have fun."

"We will. Don't you worry."

The four teens left the apartment in silence. Yolei took in the other two. Yumiko was smiling and looked excited. Hiro just looked somber. No emotion on his face. Yolei then looked to Ken who then looked at her. He smiled at her. She took his hand and when she looked back to Yumiko she was smiling at her. When they got to the gate of the apartment building there was a car waiting for them.

"My parents let me borrow the driver for the night."

"You have a driver Yumiko?"

"Of course."

Yolei thanked the man as he opened the door for all of them. When they all got in the car Yumiko sat next to Yolei and then Ken was next to her and then Hiro got in the car last. The car started and then they were off.

"Where are you going to dinner?"

"It is a surprise Ken."

"She wouldn't even tell me and I am her boyfriend."

"Because then you would tell Ken and then Ken would tell Yolei. I am the queen of surprises and I would like to keep that way."

"Yeah okay."

"Don't be that way Hiro. Let's have some fun tonight."

The car then stops and the door opens. The guys got out and then the girls. Ken helped Yolei out of the car. She thanked him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Yolei stopped in her tracks. She was actually standing outside Toraji restaurant.

"Hey are you coming?"

"Yeah sorry. I just never thought I would be eating here. I can't really afford this place."

"Don't worry about it. Just have fun."

"Good evening. How may I help you?"

"We have a reservation for four at 6pm under Yumiko Sato."

"Oh yes Miss Sato your father did say you would be here tonight with some friends. We are just getting your table ready it will just be another few minutes."

"They know you?" Yolei asked.

"My father is the head chef here and at a couple of the other restaurants but mostly here."

"Wow. That is amazing."

"Okay Miss Sato your table is ready please follow me."

"Thank you."

They were seated at a square table a little ways off from the rest of the dining room. Yumiko said she preferred it so it would be a little quieter and they could talk without the problems of not hearing everyone. After the waiter came and took their order Yumiko started asking questions.

"So Yolei what do you when you aren't in school or seeing our handsome Ken?"

"I work at my parents store."

"What kind of store? Clothes, jewelry, shoes?"

"No it is a Convenience Store. It is actually under the apartment building we live in."

"Oh. Well that is cool. Are you an only child?"

"I have an older brother and two older sisters."

"You are the youngest? You must get away with a lot."

"Not really. My parents were a little more strict on me that my siblings."

"And how did you guys meet?"

"Yumiko?"

"What?"

"Stop grilling the girl."

"I am just getting to know her Hiro. I don't see you conversing with any of us."

"Maybe if you stopped talking for a minute."

"Guys don't do this now. We are out to have fun remember?"

"Ken is right. We will not have this conversation now Hiro. We will wait."

Ken was relieved when they decided not to go into it like they usually do. Also he was relieved when their drinks came. He was happy the whole table agreed on tea. Seeing how Yumiko and Hiro hardly ever agree on anything.

"So are you going to tell me how you met?"

"Well it was the day or night I should say of the Olympiad."

"That's right. That was in Odaiba this year right?"

"Yeah. I was heading back from the tournament after interviews and I just happened to bump into Yolei."

"I was leaving a classmates place. We were studying. I was on my way home."

"You were't at the Olympiad?"

"I wasn't able to go. I had to work at the store that day."

"And one of your siblings couldn't help you out so you could go?"

"No. Momoe came in for the afternoon shift."

"I guess fate wanted you guys to meet anyways. And that is so romantic."

"Romantic really Yumiko?"

"Hush Hiro. Just because you have no romance in your bones you don't see it!"

"Guys please."

"Sorry Ken."

"So Ken tells me you are on the soccer team too."

"Yeah. I am the goalie."

"So pretty much when Ken plays he doesn't have to do much. Just stand there and look pretty."

"Hiro actually does a lot for the team. Sometimes he comes up with some of the plays."

"Well not as many as you do Ken."

"They are still good plays though."

"Thanks."

When the food came everyone was quiet which Yolei welcomed. She didn't realize Yumiko would be so inquisitive. Also Hiro and Yumiko seemed to disagree on a lot of things. She had never seen two people together almost get into an agrument over everything. She really hoped her and Ken wouldn't get like that.

Ken was really beginning to regret agreeing to this double date. He didn't want Yolei uncomfortable and he didn't think Yumiko would ask so many questions about her and him. As he looked to his right he watched her eat her salad. Yumiko put her spoon down from the soup she was eating.

"I need to use the ladies room. Yolei come with me."

"Um okay."

"Excuse us boys."

They just watched them leave. Hiro and Ken were just finishing up their meals so they just waited for the girls to come back. Hiro then looked to Ken.

"I didn't believe Yumiko when she told me you were seeing someone."

"Really?"

"Well you seemed so happy to be on your own. But even I have to admit that she seems to bring something positive out in you. She seems perfect for you."

"Thank you. It seems as though you really don't want to be here."

"No not really. Yumiko doesn't seem to want to go out alone with me. I am not sure why. This is the third double date we have been on in two months."

"What? I'm sorry to hear that."

"It has nothing to do with you. She is just going through a phase or something. We will figure it out."

"So are you guys ready to go?" Yumiko asked as they came back from the bathroom.

"We haven't gotten the check yet."

"Don't worry about the check Hiro. The meal is all set. Lets get going."

It was about 8pm when they left the restaurant. They got back in the car and they were off. It was a bit of a drive. Yolei saw that they were entering Shibuya. She couldn't believe the buildings and the lights. The car came to a stop and everyone got out. They were outside the EST Shibuya Bowling and Game Center.

"Don't we need reservations for this too?"

"Yes and I did make reservations. We will start with bowling for two hours that I reserved for and then after that we will be going to another floor for some more fun."

As they entered the building and went to the desk Yumiko said they had reservations for bowling. He found them in the computer. Ken and Hiro both chipped in to pay since Yumiko had dinner taken care of. They went up to the fifth floor and got their bowling shoes.

"I feel over dressed for this."

"Don't sweat it Yolei. You look great."

"Okay what order are we going to go in?"

"I saw we have Yumiko go first and the me, then Yolei and Ken last."

"That works for me."

Hiro put them in the computer on the screen. Yumiko went first and her first ball was a gutter ball. She laughed it off and when she threw her second ball she got 5 of the pins down. Hiro went up and got a strike.

"Show off."

"Not my fault you can't bowl Yumiko."

Yolei then went up and got 7 pins down. As she was waiting for her ball to come back Ken went up to her. "When you threw your ball your arm wasn't going out straight. So when you go to release keep it straight."

"Okay I will remember that." She went up and threw her ball and picked up her spare.

"Why didn't you help me when I threw my first ball in the gutter?"

"Because you planned this night I thought you knew how to bowl."

Ken then went up and threw his ball. He got a strike as well. The two hours went that way. If Hiro got a strike so would Ken. When they got to the last game Yumiko got a little better and her last score was a 108. Hiro almost had a perfect game but in the tenth box he missed his last strike and got a 9 so he ended with a 299. Yolei ended with a 187 and Ken beat Hiro with the perfect game of 300.

"Okay so the guys were showing off. Lets head up to the eighth floor for the final part of our evening."

They returned their shoes and went up to the eighth floor. It was the Karaoke level. Hiro sighed and rolled his eyes. He had a feeling they were going to be coming up here. At least they had private rooms so they wouldn't look like complete fools in front of strangers.

"Okay you guys go to the room while Yolei and I go get some drinks before we get started."

"Alright."

Yolei and Yumiko went to the cafe to get sodas for everyone. While they were waiting for the drinks Yumiko spotted two other guys at the other end of the soda bar.

"Hey lets go talk to them."

"Our boyfriends are waiting for us Yumiko."

"Its just talking. It isn't like we are asking them to come home with us."

"I don't think it is a good idea."

"Come on Yolei. It is okay to look at the goods. Just as long as we don't touch the merchandise it is okay."

"I don't agree with that. It doesn't feel right."

"Don't you talk to other boys? I mean you have other friends who are boys right?"

"Yeah but that is different. I mean I know them. I don't know these guys."

"That is why we are going to talk to them. That way we can say we know them."

"Yumiko."

"Come on don't be a baby."

Yumiko grabbed Yolei's hand and pulled her over to the two guys. Yumiko smiled sweetly at them and they quickly returned it. Yolei on the other hand didn't feel comfortable with this at all.

"Hey. My name is Yumiko and this is my friend Yolei."

"My name is Haruo and this is Mamoru."

"It is great to meet you. Are you both waiting for a room to open?"

"Not really. We just decided to go out for a Friday night. We didn't think two beautiful ladies like yourselves would be here."

"Well we decided to have a night out ourselves."

"Yumiko forgot to mention it is a night with our boyfriends. Who are waiting for us."

Yolei had then grabbed her and Ken's soda and went back to the room they were waiting for them. When Yolei got back to the room Yumiko was not behind her. Yolei decided to go in and when she did Hiro noticed that she was alone. He got up from the chair he was in and left the room.

"Did I miss something?"

"I am not going to lie to you. Yumiko found two boys to talk to out at the cafe bar."

"I had a feeling."

"You mean this has happened before?"

"A couples times. But he always takes her back."

"Can we just go home?"

"I think that is a great idea."

Ken and Yolei walked out of the room and Yumiko was now just sitting at the soda bar alone. She turned when she saw Yolei and Ken walking towards her. "I guess you were right Yolei. We shouldn't have talked to them. Hiro just left without saying a word."

"You should have known that would happen Yumiko."

"Don't act like my father Ken. Well I guess we should just go. I will bring you guys back."

It was a quiet drive back to the Ichijouji apartment. Yumiko had her phone out and was obviously texting Hiro. She was talking to herself. From what Yolei heard she was saying things like "He takes things too seriously" and "It was just talking". They got back to the apartment building it was around 11pm. Ken and Yolei got out of the car and Yumiko followed.

"I just want to apologize. I am sorry I ruined the evening."

"It was still a nice time. But next time you are out with your boyfriend just think about talking to him. Not other guys."

"Yeah I know."

Yolei just hugged the girl and said good night to her. Yumiko hugged her back. Yolei gave the girl her number and said that she would still like to try to become friends with her. Yumiko gladly gave Yolei her number in return. Ken and Yolei said good night and walked into the building.

Okay that was the double date. I have never been on one myself so this was a little difficult to write. So if it is really bad I am sorry. I have a lot more I wanted to add in at the end but then this chapter would go on for a little longer and I don't want to do that. I will just make it the next chapter instead. Whenever I will get to it with my work schedule.
