How Was I Supposed To Know? Chapter 2 Miyako sighed as she walked along the crowed sidewalk, Hikari by her side. At least, she assumed Hikari was still there. God only knew. But something had been troubling her. She hadn't told any of the others the visual she had of the Digimon Kasier. Had he really saved her? She couldn't see any other way she could have woken up without a scratch after that abuse. But even if he did, they why? They were on completely different sides. Why would he? "Aloha! Earth to Miyako!" Hikari's hand was waved in front of Miyakos face. "AI!" Miyako yelled, dropping her ice cream. Hikari frowned. "Hey. You've really been out of it all day. What's on your mind?" Miyako sighed as she continued walk. "It's nothing." Hikari nodded. "Well, if you ever need to talk to someone I'm always here." Miyako, avoiding eyes, nodded. "Good. Now, did you know Daisuke's team has a match against that super genius's Ken Ichijouji team?" Miyako's eyes went from depressed to lovey. "Oh my god! He is soooo adorable! I mean, god look at that body! And I adore his hair! And" Hikari sighed as Miyako continued to yak. "And he's such a good soccer player and he is so smart and I bet he's really sensitive and did you see that pop commercial he did? He looked sooo sexy! And..." Just then Miyako bumped into someone. "Oh my gosh! So sorry mister! I didn't mean to! I am soo..." Then Miyako looked up. She gasped. Hikari's eyes bugged out. "Is it you?! Is it REALLY you?! OMG! I am one of your biggest fans! You are such good soccer player! I adore you Ken Ichijouji Suddenly everyone stared at the pair. Ken eyes nearly bugged out. Was this really Miyako? Wow! She looked even better when they weren't fighting! "Mr. Ichijouji!! Is it true that you are staring in the next season of Indecision?" "Is it true they're, like, naming a soccer stadium after you?" "Is it true that you're seeing American Super Model Cindy Crawford?" Ken frowned. What? "I am not available for comment at the present time." Ken said. Everyone sighed and went away. Except for the love struck Miyako. Ken gave one of his very rare smiles at her. "I am very sorry for bumping into your Miss. Could I get you something for your trouble?" He offered. He saw Miyako's eyes shine with excitement. She looked so funny it was Ken could do to keep from laughing. "Oh sure! Of course, it was really my fault! I mean, I was soo clumsy!" Miyako exclaimed, hanging onto his arm. Ken smiled again. Her touch was some how....like a drug. He really REALLY wanted it. Hell, he needed it! It just felt so....right. "Would your friend like to come along with us?" He asked. Hikari had an almost- suspicious look on her face replied. "No thank you. I have to get home and, um, do.... something." Ken gave her a cold look. Miyako didn't seem to notice her tone or her voice. She didn't seem to notice Kens glare either. "Well, Hikari. Your loss my gain. C'mon! Let's go!" Miyako exclaimed happily, grinning like a hyena. She then started walking....almost dragging Ken.... to the nearest Cafe. He then started walking of his own free will. smiling down at the carefree girl on his arm. It was kind of funny. Any girl in the world would love to hang off his arm like that. And they had. And he had shook thyem all off. They were so annyoing. But Miyako was.......different somehow. He couldn't explain it. She just was. Miyako smiled happily. This was soo meant to be. He was soo nice! Taking her out to lunch just because she bumped into him. What a sincere person. And it just felt right. Neither of them felt Hikari's hard glare. She didn't know what, but something was different about him. 'What's with him? He feel so...cold.' ****************************************************************************** "And so anyway, then he actually ate the worm, the idiot! And they had to rush Daisuke to the hospital, since the worm had gotten some kinda poisonous guk on it! And they got the worm out, but he was throwing up for about 5 days later. It was so funny!" Miyako told. Ken laughed. That's all Miyako had been making him do. He had never laughed before. But she seemed to be bringing some sun shine into his dark life. Kens thought were interrupted as the food came. Miyako's eyes widened as she looked down at her plate. She had chosen some waffles, bacon, chocolate rice balls, and a whole other assortment of things. She really had just chosen a whole bunch of side orders and a waffle. Ken was simply having an assortment of vegetable, and fruits. Miyako frowned as she looked at his plate. "Hey, Ken. Is that all you're eating?" He nodded. Miyako frowned. "You really could have something more exiting." Ken smiled at her. "I have to eat healthily. It engages the body and mind." He said. Miyako still frowned. "Yeah. Whatever. Here, try a chocolate rice ball." She said, shoving it in his face. Ken releculently took a bit of it. He chewed slowly for a minute. "So?" She demanded. Ken just kind of shrugged. Miyako sighed, but smiled at the same time. "You're weird, but cute." Ken blushed at this comment. Miyako giggled. So they basically ate and talked. Well, Miyako did most of the talking. Ken just listened and enjoyed her company. Finally the meal ended. Ken had just paid for it. He suddenly reach across the table and took Miyakos hand. Looking deeply in her eyes, he said "Look, Miyako Inoue. I think you're a really great person and I want to see you again." Miyako couldn't believe her ears. She simply stared at him, dumb struck. The great Ken WHATEVER wanted to see little old her again? The smartest, most althetic boy in the world wanted to see her? "So, could I have your phone number so we could plan to get together again?" He asked. Miyako simply nodded, still surprised. Ken smiled. "Great! Could you write it down here?" Ken took a pen and a piece of paper out from his pocket. Miyako took it and wrote her number down. Ken took it back, and put it carefully back in his pocket. "I'll phone you tonight. I would walk you home," Ken said. "But I have a photo shoot. Really sorry. " Then, he flashed her a smile and walked out of the cafe. Miyako still sat there, dumbstruck. Then it hit her. "Did he just ask me out on a date?" ****************************************************************************** Miyako walked along the street, lovestruck. In fact, she happened to wander on the road, where a truck driver nearly ran her over. "WATCH OUT YOU BITCH!!!" He leaned out the window. "Have a happy day." Miyako sighed as she walked back on to the sidewalk, not really listening. The truck driver muttered a few choice words and drove off. It's amazing that she found her way home, considering how stuck she was. But she did, and she was alive and well. She unlocked the door with some difficulties, and prance into the house. Fortunately her parents were working at the convince store, or else they would have probably taken Miyako to the hospital. She went to her room and sat down, and stared at the phone. And stared. And stared. 5 hours later............... Miyako glared at the phone. Her cheery mood had worn off and now she just wanted the phone to ring. She wanted to hear Ken's beautiful voice talk to her, she wanted to smile at his words. She wanted to know that he was sincere when he said that he had wanted to see her again. Miyako suddenly had a horrible thought. What if Ken said that to every girl that bumped into him? What if he really was dating Cindy Crawford? Whoever she was. Then, she got mad. "Ring phone! I dare you to! Or are you too scared? Are you scared to feel the wrapth? Huh? HUH?!" Ring....... Miyako nearly fell off her bed in shock. Then screamed with joy. "Yeah! I KNEW he'd phone me back!" Ring....... Miyako straightened her clothes out, and the picked up the phone, and in her sweetest voice said..... "Ken?" "No. Sorry, my name's Hikari." Her friend said sarcastically. Miyako sighed. "I can't talk. I'm expecting a call from Ken." She said. "That's what I want to talk to you about." Miyako suddenly didn't want to hang up. "What about him?" She asked fearfully. Had something happened to Ken? "I don't know, but, well...... do you sense something cold about Ken?" Hikari asked. She frowned. "No! Why?" Hikari sighed. "Well, when you bumped into him today, I just got a bad vibe from him." She explained. Miyako got angry. 'How DARE she say something like that when she doesn't even know him!' "Excuse me Hikari. But I think that you've just got a bit of the jealous bug because Ken took a special interest in me and not you. How can you say that about him? You don't know him! He offered to get you lunch too but you refused! He's a perfect gentleman and really nice! He walked me home! Or, at least he would have if he hadn't had a photo shoot! So shut up about him! And besides, I'm in love with him!" And with that, she slammed the phone down on one of her best friends and crossed her arms angrily. 'That Hikari! She is so jealous and she doesn't even know it! She had two guys swarming for her love and just because I found someone special she's jealous! And.... did I just tell her I loved him?' Miyako gasped. She couldn't feel that strongly about him, could she? Of course not! She was in the what? Sixth grade! Love wasn't an option. But what did she feel for him? It was past friendship. At least, she thought it was. But..... Miyako didn't know what it was. So what was it? ****************************************************************************** Ken sighed as camera after camera flashed at him. That's all he got. Cameras flashed and questions asked. About every girl teenager in the country had it for him. But it was only for his fame. None of those girls could love him for him. No one. But there was always an acceptation to the rule, Ken had learned, and this one was Miyako. At least he hoped. But, what if she learned that he was the Digimon Kaiser? He shook his head slightly. She would never find out. She couldn't. It would hurt too much for him. He suddenly heard his watch beep. He calmly got off the stand. "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. But picture time is over. Have a good day." He then walked out of the room, leaving everyone to stare after him. ****************************************************************************** Ken sighed as he reached the limo. Next, he was scheduled to go to a commercial shoot, but he had made time to phone Miyako. He got into the black door, and shut it. The driver, Heji, started driving to their next destination. Ken picked up the black phone, and gripping it tightly, phone the number Miyako had left him. It rang a few times, before Miyako answered it. "Hello?" She asked. Ken's raced at the sound of her voice. "Hi, Miyako?" He asked. "Ken! Hello!" She exclaimed. She sounded genuinely happy to hear him. "Hello. I was wondering if you'd like to go to the cafe again after my soccer game tomorrow?" He asked hopefully. "Of course! Oh hey! Is that a date?" She asked. Ken gulped. 'Oh uh.....' "Well, do you want it to be?" He choked out. 'Stupid, stupid stupid!' He regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth. Her waited nervously for an answer. "Sure!" She exclaimed happily. Ken breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh that reminds me! That soccer game tomorrow? You're playing against the team my friend is on!" 'Oh great.' Ken thought. "Oh really?" He asked. "Yeah! His name is Daisuke! He thinks a lot of himself so don't encourage him and kick his butt in the soccer game." Miyako told him. Ken smiled. "O.K, whatever you say. See you tomorrow." "Yep." "Love you. Bye." Ken hung up the phone, pleased at how the conversation had gone. "Did I just say 'Love you' to Miyako?" He asked himself. But then he shook his head. "Na, I'm day dreaming." **********************************
