A/N: So this is a request from KeikoTakishita herself! I'm going to do my best and make this work. FYI If you havent read KeikoTakishita's "Digimon Frontier Refreshed" You might be a little confused, but you still could probably read this anyway. It is using OCs from her story, but thats pretty much it. It takes place after Digimon Frontier ends. I hope you guys enjoy this!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, KeikoTakishita's characters (Keiko, Asashi, Tamotsu, Michiko, and the Takishita brothers) or anything else. I'm not even sure if I own this plot xD okay, here we go!
Keiko's POV
"The wormhole that Lucemon made to the real world is disappearing! You must get through before it closes!" Agunimon yelled.
"Wait! This is no way to say goodbye!" Izumi cried.
"Oh… well… bye!" Veenomon shouted. She and Kazemon began to wave, then the rest of them did as well. I guess Kazemon and Veenomon are best friends, kind of like Izumi and myself are.
"NO! WAIT! DON'T LEAVE!" Bokomon cried. "I'll miss you!"
He tried to fly over to the portal, but Neemon and the others held him back.
"We love you!" Izumi and I yelled.
We got through the portal and it closed behind us, blocking off any entrance to the Digital World.
I had thought after that day, we would all be as close as ever. By we, I mean Izumi, Kouji, Kouichi, Takuya, Tomoki, Junpei and I.
But I was wrong.
The last time I saw them was in the hospital with Kouichi, who had almost died. Then I had gone off to return to my life, thinking we would all stay in touch. I got a few texts from them, but as the weeks went by, they died down.
Weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, and I still had no contact with the people I had become so close to. I wondered if we were just destined to grow apart like this. We had fulfilled our purpose in the digital world, and now we were getting our lives back, like none of it had ever happened.
I wanted to reach out and find them again, but something inside me told me not to. If we were meant to be friends, we would all be brought back together. I wasn't going to force something that wasn't meant to be.
Eventually I made new friends, who became best friends to me. It was sixth grade, and it all seemed to fall into place. I had known Michiko, Tamotsu, and Asashi forever, but were had never been that close until sixth grade. We all ended up having several classes together, and they filled the hole in my heart where my old friends had been.
Tamotsu was charming. He had always been charming, ever since I first laid eyes on him in pre-school. There was just something about that blonde hair and athletic body that always caught my attention. One day in math class toward the beginning of sixth grade, he invited me to work in a group with Michiko, Asashi, and himself. The three of them had been friends forever, but they welcomed me into their group with open arms. Tamotsu made sure I sat with them at lunch that day, and for the rest of the year for that matter. He was always so sweet to me, and made sure I wasn't alone. I eventually found myself falling for Tamotsu, but that didn't change our relationship. I tried to keep my feelings at bay, and only allow myself to fantasize about the blonde when I was in the privacy of my own room at night.
Michiko and I became really close once Tamotsu pulled me into their group. She and I played soccer together, so that gave us something in common. She began inviting me to sleep over at her house and do various other activities with her when the boys needed their "Man Time". I was surprised when I found out that she didn't have a best friend that was a girl. She explained to me that she had been best friends with Asashi and Tamotsu from such an early age, so she never felt a need to branch out early on. By the time they were preteens, Tamotsu and Asashi became interested in more "manly" and left Michiko out from time to time. When she decided to go try and make new friends that were girls, she had a hard time, because all of the girls already had a best friend. I felt bad for her, but also happy that I could now be there for her. From time to time I ask her if she has a crush on Tamotsu or Asashi, just because they've been friends so long. She always turns bright red when I ask her this. I'm positive she likes one, if not both of them. They are both really attractive guys, and they are both really protective over her. I'm almost jealous, because I can see how much she means to both of them.
Asashi is a really nice guy, and really chill. He kinda reminds me of a more mature Takuya. He's the super jock in our group. Yes, Tamotsu plays Soccer and a little bit of Lacrosse, but Asashi is like, the Football, Wrestling, and Lacrosse star. All the girls in our middle school drool over him, because he's so nice and cool. He isn't very flirty though. He's more of a gentleman. He'd really be the perfect boyfriend to any girl, but I'm not sure he realizes how much girls like him. He's never made advances on anyone in our school. It puzzles me. He's also very smart. Another thing that adds to his perfection is how smart he is. Mostly in math. I'm pretty good in math myself, but Asashi is like, beast at math. And every other subject too. I think he has the second highest grade point average in our class, which is really impressive. He's the perfect one in our group. Absolutely perfect.
So now I'm going to be entering high school next week. I can't believe it; because it seems like just yesterday I was eleven years old, fighting in the digital world. Even though it's been a few years since I've seen them, and I've made new friends, I still dream about my friends from the digital world.
I dream about Izumi, with her long blonde hair and her spunky personality. I always feel a little bit jealous of her in the dreams, because Kouji or Takuya is always in the background trying to get her attention. I'm not an attention whore or anything, so it's okay that I was never in the spotlight. But the fact that Kouji, Takuya, AND Junpei liked her in the digital world makes me feel like theirs something wrong with me.
I dream about Takuya, leading us through God knows where. I always admired him. He was usually so positive, even in bad situations. I think I miss him most of all. He was such a friendly guy, and in my dreams, he always looks so happy. I loved that about Takuya. He always had a smile on his face.
I dreamed about Tomoki, whining all the time. He's older now, so he probably doesn't whine as much anymore. I always felt kind of bad for him in the digital world. It's hard being the youngest. I know that from experience, being the youngest in my family.
I dreamed about Kouichi, and how he used to scare me at first. I didn't get to know him too well, since he came toward the end, but I was always intimidated by him. But, despite my intimidation, he was nothing but nice to me. He was the exact opposite of Kouji. He was always so respectful and polite. I miss him a lot.
I dreamed about Junpei, and how I felt bad because of how overweight he was. He was a nice guy, and he really deserved to look like everyone else. I remembered how Kouji would make fun of him sometimes, and how he'd just kinda brush it off. But it's been years now; he probably looks a thousand times different. Knowing him, he probably dropped all the weight right after we got out of the digital world. At least I hope so…
I dreamed about Kouji, and how rude he could be, but from time to time he'd show me a different side to him. He could be nice, but usually his niceness was directed toward Izumi. But I think I can safely say Kouji and I became friends in the digital world, even though he treated me like crap a lot. When I dreamed about him, he'd always appear so beautiful. I guess I always had a thing for him. Maybe?
I have a feeling something is coming in high school. Maybe I'll finally reconnect with those people that I dream about so often. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but honestly, I'm not going to just lose hope all together, either.
