Eternal Memories
Chapter 1
The News
Izumi laid in bed thinking about her best friend, Takuya and the news he had told her yesterday.
*flashback*
Ring Ring!!
"Hello!" Izumi said.
"Izumi? This is Takuya. Can you go to the park right now?" Takuya asked over the phone.
"Why?" Izumi yawned loudly.
"'Cause I have something important to tell and it can't wait." Takuya explained.
"Okay. I'll be there in five minutes." Izumi yawned and climbed out of bed to get dress.
She slipped on a lavender shirt and a pair of jeans and ran out the door, yelling out to her mom, "Mom! I'll be back later! I'm going to the park to meet Takuya!"
"Okay! Be back around nine!" Mrs. Orimoto shouted back.
Izumi thought as she walked to the park. 'I wonder what he wants to tell me' Izumi thought wonderingly.
She ran into the park and looked around for her best friend. And there he was as handsome as ever, dressed in the same clothes he wore when they went to the Digital World. 'Wait a minute! Did I just think that he was handsome?' Izumi thought but then quickly shook those thoughts away.
"Hi Izumi!" Takuya said cheerfully.
"Hey Takuya. So what's up with the early morning wake up call?" Izumi asked smiling even though she was tired.
"Well.. umm.. I don't know how to say this but.. *sighes* I'm moving to America tomorrow." Takuya said sadly.
Izumi could not believe what she just heard.
Takuya Kanbara, her best friend, the one who always was there to comfort her when she needed him and the one who lead the Digidestined to their victories in the Digital World was leaving Japan?
"I don't know what to say." Izumi muttered looking down into her hands.
'I can't believe Takuya is leaving. I always thought we would be friends to the end, but somehow I feel different around him. Could it be Takuya can be more than just a friend?' Izumi thought wonderingly.
"Izumi.." Takuya said quietly, taking her hands into his. "I need to know before I go to America, how do you feel about me?"
Takuya thought 'Asking this question should give me an answer if she really does love me or just prefers me to be a friend.'
"I'm not sure.." Izumi said then quickly changing the subject. "When are you leaving tomorrow?"
"I'm leaving on the plane at 12:30 pm. I've already told everyone else to come tomorrow at eleven." Takuya replied.
"Okay I'll be there for you." Izumi said smiling as little droplets of tears fell down her cheeks.
"Don't cry Izumi.." Takuya said lifting up her chin. "You know I'll be back before you know it.. Besides we'll keep in touch and we will always be friends." Takuya said smiling back. He thought ' Maybe even more than friends.'
They both left to return home. Takuya-went home to finish packing and Izumi- buy a gift for Takuya.
*end of flashback*
Izumi thought 'I still need a present for Takuya.. A gift that will always remind him of our special friendship.'
Izumi sighed as she left her house to go looking for the perfect gift.
Finally after 2 hours, Izumi figured out what she was going to give her best friend.
She ran into a shop and bought her present for Takuya.
Izumi ran home to add some things to her present and then she wrapped it up in shiny pink and lavender wrapping paper.
She wrote a letter to Takuya telling him about her feelings and then stuck it to the gift with tape.
Then Izumi went into her mom's room and asked her if she could drive her to the airport. But unfortunately, her mom was busy talking on the phone to a client.
So Izumi decided to walk there. After all, she needed the exercise. Izumi slipped on a light blue top and jeans and then wore a pink overcoat with a white hat.
On the way there, she bumped into Kouji and Kouichi. Kouji had a blue wrapped present and Kouichi had a black one. She assumed the gifts were for Takuya.
"Hey Izumi!" Kouichi said cheerfully.
"Hi Kouichi, Kouji!" Izumi said smiling.
"I see you're going to the airport, too huh?" Kouji observed.
"Yeah.." Izumi replied looking down at her gift.
*moment of silence*
"So Izumi.." Kouichi said breaking the silence. "Do you need a ride there?"
"Yeah thanks! My mom couldn't drive 'cause she was occupied." Izumi said grinning.
"We can give you a ride as long as it's okay with Kouji. So can we, bro? Kouichi asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah sure. No problem!" Kouji replied.
Kouji, Kouichi, and Izumi walked to Kouji's house and then piled into his silver Toyota camry. (sorry I don't know what kind of cars the people in Japan had).
Kouji sat in front with his dad and Kouichi sat in the back with Izumi.
Izumi glanced outside at the rain once in a while thinking, 'I know that I love Takuya for always being there for me even though we fought a lot in the Digital World. He always tried to cheer me up when I needed it. But the question is.. Is it too late to tell him?' Izumi sighed.
~meanwhile~
Kouichi chuckled at the plan he and Kouji had come up with. They both knew for a while that Izumi liked Takuya long before she even knew and vice versa. They were meant for each other even though they didn't show it. However there was a problem that Kouichi didn't expect in his plan-Takuya moving away for a year because of his dad's promotion.
Kouichi looked at Izumi to try to figure out what she was thinking about. He made out of her that her expression was obviously sadness and bit of confusion. And that she was thinking very hard about something or someone. *wink wink*
In less than 15 minutes, they had arrived at the airport.
'Oh no.. I can't face Takuya yet.. I can't even bear the fact that he has to leave even if it's only for a year!' Izumi thought frantically. But she sighed.. She knew this day would come but she didn't know it would come so soon.
Kouji got out of the car holding an umbrella and gave two extra ones to Izumi and Kouichi see as how they would need it.
"Thanks." Izumi and Kouichi said thankfully.
Kouji simply nodded.
They all were holding their presents and as soon as they went inside the airport, all three began searching for their goggleheaded leader.
