Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Guardian Angel ❯ Episode Eight: "You Two Are a Perfect Match! Being Bonded with a Blue Tie" ( Chapter 8 )

Ken quickly shot upright and was in shock. Minomon woke up and had a worried look on his face. "Doushita?"
"It was just a dream." he replied. He was still trying to regain his sanity.
"It seemed more like a nightmare."
"Don't worry Minomon," he smiled weakly, not to worry his friend, "Let's go back to sleep."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah"
"Well, okay then. Oyasumi."
"Oyasumi."
Ken watched Minomon go back to sleep and then he tried to do the same thing. But he couldn't go back to sleep, not after what happened. So many questions filled his mind. "What was that all about?" he thought. Ken looked at his hands and touched his lips. He remembered Jun's soft and warm lips and body. He even remembered how her hands felt when they were on his face. "It was so real, but it was just only a dream." he thought. He then looked at his hands again and remembered touching her back and the scars. Those large devil wings just burst out of the scars and Jun transformed into Angel. The Angel that was destroying the Digital World. Was the whole dream supposed to be some kind of sign? "No, it can't be true. Jun couldn't be Angel." he told himself. But, the scars felt real. Was the dream a warning? Should he stay away from Jun? "There's no way it can be true." But then there were Jun's eyes. When he looked into them, they seem so familiar...so dark...like Angel's. But Angel's eyes were cold, hard, possessed looking, like something was controlling her. "Those dark eyes...those feelings I have when I'm with her...and if Jun transformed into Angel..." Ken then shook his head, getting these ideas out of his mind. "No, it was just a dream...just a...dream..."

Ken hit his alarm clock and woke up to an early and sunny Saturday morning. Today, he had a soccer match to go to. He jumped off his bed and went to breakfast. "Ohayoo gozaimasu, Ken-chan." greeted his mother, with a smile. "Ohayoo, Okaasan. Ohayoo, Otoosan." he said. His father was in the living room, reading the morning newspaper. "Ohayoo gozaimasu, son." Ken then sat down at the table and began to eat. He took some food back to his room and gave it to Minomon. "Ken-chan, I want to go watch you play!" he said after eating. "Sorry Minomon, but there is no way I can. I don't think you would like to be stuffed in a duffel bag." Ken then dressed in his soccer uniform and grabbed his bag. "Bye Minomon." he said as he left his room. "Matta nee! And good luck!". Ken the headed towards the front door, "Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" he called as he left. "Good bye Ken-chan! Un ga ii!" called back his mother. "Have fun!" said his father. Ken walked to his school where the game was. When he arrived, there were a lot of people, especially girls from the school, because they came to see Ken play, like they always did.

"There he is!"

"He's so cute!"

"I wonder he's got a girlfriend?"

"I think I'm gonna faint!"

Ken heard these comments, and some he heard already, as he walk to the field. He found his coach and some his team members off the sideline. "Oh, Ichijouji-san!" greeted his coach, "Are you ready to win?" "Of course." smiled Ken. "That's great! That's what I like to hear. Just go and do whatever you want while we wait for the rest of the team to arrive." "Hai." Ken then set aside his bag by the bench with the other bags. He saw some of his team members crowded in a group. They seem to be staring at something that was making their eyes widen. Ken went up to them to see what was going on. "Hey, guys." he greeted them. "Oh, Ken-kun you finally came." said a boy named Yuki. He had short blonde hair with blue eyes. "What were you looking at that made your eyes almost come out of their sockets?" "Kanojo." said Yuki in a dreamy voice. They all turned their heads at what they were looking at before. Ken realized that they were looking at Jun.

She was sitting down alone on the bleachers and was staring out at the field. She was wearing a light blue, sleeveless blouse. She also had a matching light blue pleaded skirt and a sky blue necktie. The whole outfit looked a lot similiar to the school's uniform. "She's here?" Ken asked. "Ee, isn't she the greatest?" drooled Satoshi, another boy. He had spikey black hair and brown eyes. They both share a weakness, which were girls so it was no surprised that Satoshi was drooling. Ken was still staring at her and then Jun turned to his direction. "She's looking at us!" said Satoshi in an excited voice. Jun then began to walk to them calmly. "Oh man here's my chance!" exclaimed Satoshi as he was playing with his hair. "Please you have no chance." said another boy named Li. He was also friends with Yuki and Satoshi. Li has brown and messy hair and dark brown eyes. The three boys hung out together a lot. They were great friends. "Just watch and learn boys." said Satoshi with a grin.

"Hey guys." she said sweetly when she arrived. The boys, except for Ken, had huge, starry eyes as they saw the beautiful girl talking to them. "I just wanted to wish you all good luck." "You coming here is good luck." flirted Satoshi. Jun just simply ignored the comment and turned to Ken. "Good luck, Ichijouji-kun." she said to him. She turned around and waved good-bye. The boys waved back weakly with red, tomato faces.
"Did you see that! She was talking to us!" exclaimed Li.
"But you do know that she only said one sentence to you guys?" grinned Ken.
"She's so gorgeous. I wonder if all the girls are just as beautiful as she is in America?" wondered Satoshi.
"Nice line by the way, Satoshi." said a sarcastic Yuki.
"Shut up." he said, as he blushed a little.
Ken just smiled at them weakly and sweatdrop. "So, Ichijouji-kun, what do you think?" asked Satoshi with a sly grin.
"Think of what?" he asked.
"You know, Jun. What do you think?" repeated Yuki.
"What do you mean what do I think?" Ken asked, slightly blushing. He knew what they were leading to.
"Oh come on! We know that you think she's hot. All the boys at the school do."
"Yeah," said Li, "They all want her to be their girlfriend and I don't blame them."
"You're so lucky Ken." said Yuki.
"Lucky? Why do you say that?"
"Because you know that all the girls are crazy about you and Jun has to be also."
"Yeah," added Li, "You have almost every class with her and you walk with her-"
Then Satoshi cut off Li and added...
"And she's a genius like you and she talks to you and-"
"Okay I get the point!" said Ken.
"You know what," said Yuki said, "I bet you are so lucky enough to be the first guy to kiss her!"
A surprised expression, and some blushing, grew on Ken's face. "Nani? You guys are crazy. I bet she doesn't even like me."
"I bet she does," grinned Satoshi, "And I bet that it will so happen. And if not, then I'll give it a shot."
Then their conversation ended when their coach called them. "Okay guys, everyone's here so let's warm up."

Jun watched the boys as they joined the rest of the team and started to warm up. She grinned at the thought about all the boys talking about her...

"She's so hot!"

"Check out those legs!"

"I wonder if she wants a boyfriend?"

"Damn she's pretty."

All these comments, and many more, were all she heard today and at school during the past two months. Even through all that time, t was still annoying and pathetic at most times. "They just all fall at my feet and I could just walk all over them." she thought, "They are just so weak." Jun's train of thought was interrupted buy the sound of a whistle. The game began. She began to watch the game until a girl from her school named Reiko came. "Ohayoo Jun-chan!" she said cheerfully. "Oh God, things can't get any worse." Jun thought. Reiko has medium hair but she always has it in a ponytail and with short bands covering her forehead. It was a reddish-brown color and she had amethyst eyes. Jun thought Reiko was really annoying due to her cheerfulness and friendliness. She was the only girl that talk to her often and was in some of her classes. "Hi." said Jun. Jun was surprised that she even remembered her name.
"Cool! I can't believe you came! How are you?"
"Fine."
"You came to see Ichijouji-kun play like the rest of us?"
"Huh?"
Reiko then giggled. "That's what all the girls do. They come to see Ken Ichijouji play. Isn't he so cute?" She then had a dreamy look on her face.
"Disgusting." thought Jun.
"Well?"
"I just came to watch."
Reiko then giggled again and smiled.
"What?"
"Oh come on, Jun-chan. Don't you think Ken-kun is so cute? All the girls do. As a matter of fact, they are all jealous."
"Jealous? Jealous of what?"
"You."
"Naze?"
"Because all the girls think that Ken-kun has a thing for you. You're SO lucky."
"What?"
"You talk to him all the time and you walk with him after school. Everyone knows that. And he's so kind and sweet! You don't have any clue about how many girls who would want to be in your shoes."
Jun just stayed quiet and looked at Reiko.
"You know I bet that you are going to be the luckiest girl alive."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I totally bet that Ken-kun is going to ask you out! Maybe he'll just even give you a kiss!"
Jun then felt that same strange, warm feeling growing on her cheeks again at that remark, "You're out of your mind."
"No, I think its going to happen. You guys are perfect for each other. Lucky!" she squealed.
Then the conversation stopped as they continued to watch the game. Ken had the ball and was going towards the goal. But then a boy from the other team tackled him and Ken skidded across the grass. He quickly got back up and retrieved the ball and shot a goal.

After the game...

The Tamachi team had won another game and the team was packing up, as so were the fans. Ken gathered his bag and was ready to leave. "Great game Ichijouji-san. See you on Monday." said his coach. Ken then nodded his head in reply and turned around. He then saw Jun starting to come down from bleachers with Reiko, a girl he knew from some of classes. Ken then turned his head back and saw Yuki, Satoshi and Li with wide grins across their faces. Satoshi then purked his lips together as if he was going to kiss someone and made noises. The other guys were s with ear-to-ear grins, snickering. Ken then made a strange face and sweatdrop a little. He then walked up to Jun and Reiko when they made it to the ground. Reiko was the one who first saw Ken. "Hi Ken-kun!" she giggled and blushed. Jun turned around and saw that it was Ichijouji. "That was good game you played." she said. "You were so cool!" Reiko squealed. "Thank you," said Ken. "Well, I gotta go. See you later!" Reiko than ran off with a group of other girls. Ken then faced Jun. "Would you like me to walk with you?" "We do go the same way." she replied. As them began to make their way out of the field, Jun saw Reiko with the girls looking at her direction. Reiko made a victory sign at Jun, and smiled, saying good luck on "scoring her goal". Jun made an annoyed face but Reiko and the other girls didn't notice. Jun and Ken left the field and began to make it back home.

About a few minutes later Ken made a moan of pain. "What's wrong?" asked Jun. Ken looked at his leg and saw a big, bloody, scratch. "I must've gotten that when I fell." he said. He then made another face of pain. Then, without thinking, Jun untied her necktie. "Sit down." she told him. Ken sat down and she kneeled beside him. She then took her tie and tied it around Ken's wound. As she did this, Ken was looking at her and blushed. "There. That will stop the bleeding." she said, standing right back up. "And maybe your damn whining." she thought cruelly. "Thank you. That's better." he said, still staring at her. "Here, get up." she said as she offered her hand to him. Ken then quietly took her hand and she helped him up to his feet.

There's that feeling again...

"Arigatou gozaimasu." Ken said. And they continued to walk. Soon, they then made to their apartment buildings. "Well, we're here." said Ken. "Yeah." responded Jun. Without saying another word, she turned around and began to walk across the street. "Matte!" called Ken. She just turned her head. "Thank you, Jun-chan." he said again as he added a warm smile. She was going to bite her own tongue and lips after this. She then forced it out and said quickly, "You're welcome."
