junbeast

   What have I ever done to deserve this kind of treatment? I've been
called the Jun-Beast because I am obsessive to the point of obnoxiousness.
      I must act this way. My parents like Daisuke better, and the others at
school think that I am too strange for any of them. I just long for some
acknowledgement, even if it comes through degrading nicknames.
      Yamato. I really loved him. But I could not control the side of me
that becomes overly obsessive. I would have done absolutely anything for him.
Not anymore. Everyone now says that he's dating Ms. Takenouchi. How could he
forsake me like this?
      Daisuke was the one who started calling me the Jun-Beast. Today,
Takeru said the same thing to me. The whole Ishida family is so arrogant!

~Jun~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jun sighed as she closed her journal. Maybe she was an obsessive
fangirl, but those actions came from her want of true affection.
      "Hi Daisuke!" Jun smiled as she entered her little brother's room. "Do
you guys need anything?"
      "Yeah." Daisuke spat at his sister. "Go away."
      "Besides," A sly smile crossed Takeru's lips, "Shouldn't you be out
stalking 'niichan now?"
      Jun wanted to cry, but she couldn't let the brats see that she was
hurt by their words.
      "I don't need Yamato anymore. He's an arrogant jerk who only thinks of
himself."
      Takeru facefaulted at her words. Jun didn't like Yamato anymore?
      "Actually Jun," Miyako smiled as she stood up from her seat at the
card game, "could you take over for me for a while? I need to go to the store
and get some more food."
      Jun happily accepted the card, then sat down next to Hikari and Ken.
      "So who's winning?"
      "Ken is, as usual."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although Daisuke protested, the other chosen children invited Jun to
the picnic that they were having with the older chosen children, and the kids
from America.
      "So how do I look Dai?" Jun asked her little brother as she emerged
from her room wearing a red plaid mini skirt, and black baby tee.
      "So who are you trying to impress? Yamato hates you."
      "Hn." Jun turned her back to her brother- her usually wild auburn hair
spun neatly behind her from the restraints of the black headband. "Can't you
just act normal for once Dai?"
      "Fine." Daisuke grumbled as he combed his hair. "You look like a slut.
I'd say about a two-yen whore."
      "I hate you Motomiya Daisuke!" Jun screamed as she ran out of the
apartment crying. She stopped running as soon as she entered the stairwell,
then sat down, holding her head in her hands as her tears flowed harder.
      She really wasn't trying to impress anyone. She just wanted to try a
new look, since her old one just wasn't working.
      Daisuke was just to mean. He hated Jun because she was a girl. All of
his other friends had older brothers, while he was stuck with her.
      "Jun?" Daisuke whispered as he opened the stairwell door. "Gomen. I
was just kidding."
      "No you weren't." Jun sniffled as she folded her arms. "I do look like
a slut."
      "Jun," Daisuke sighed as he sat down next to her, " You don't look
like a slut. In fact, you look very pretty today."
      Although he protested, Jun hugged her little brother. Daisuke's
compliments were always sincere- behind his jovial exterior, he hurt as much
as she did. He was a nice guy, once he opened up to a person.
      "Come on." Daisuke picked Jun off of the floor and helped her down the
stairs. "Shin will be there. You said you liked him once."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sorry that we're late!" Daisuke called to the group of chosen
children. "I wasn't watching the time when I was practicing soccer. Jun
reminded me that we needed to come here, but I had to get ready, so I'm sorry
that we're late!"
      "That's okay." Taichi said, his eyes never leaving Jun. "You haven't
missed much."
      "Yeah." Yamato stated as he took Jun's hand. "We were all just getting
ready to go fishing. Do you need a place to sit? You can share my blanket."
      "Yamato!" Sora stated, obviously annoyed by her boyfriend's actions.
"I'm still here baka!"
      "It's all right Sora." Jun smiled as she brushed her hand across
Yamato's cheek. "I wouldn't want anything to do with a musician anyway.
They're too much trouble." Jun winked at the red head as she walked over to
Miyako, Ken, and Shin.
      "Bitch!" Sora screamed as she clung to Yamato.
      Jun turned and smiled. "Thank you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Can you believe how hot Jun is?" Taichi stated to the older male
chosen children as they sat fishing.
      "I can't believe I made such an ass of myself in front of Sora."
      "Gomamon! Quit chasing the fish away!" Jyou screamed at his partner
digimon. "She's just trying to get attention. Besides, she's obsessing over
Shin now. Give it a week, and she'll be throwing herself at Taichi."
      Koushiro nodded "Yeah. She's a little too genki to be considered 'hot'
I can't believe you two like her now."
      Yamato shrugged. "I guess I think she's the female version of Taichi."
      "Oh koi." Taichi leaned over to his secret lover and kissed him.
      "I think that's more of an insult than a compliment." Jyou laughed at
Koushiro's comment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey everyone! We're back!" Jyou called to the cam as he and Koushiro
carried back the fish they caught.
      "Where's Yamato?" Sora asked as she took the string of fish from
Koushiro.
      "He and Taichi got in to a fight. Don't worry. They'll both be back
soon."
      Koushiro nudged Jyou as he pointed in the other direction, after Sora,
Mimi, and Miyako took the fish from them.
      "Well I'll be..." Jyou staed as he took his glasses off to clean them.
"Who would have guessed that Shin would give Jun a chance."
      "He did just break up with Kamiko, so he could be lonely."
      Jyou chuckled as they walked toward Shin and Jun. The two were sitting
under a tree, holding hands and having way too good of a time.
      "Hi guys." Shin smiled at his brother and Koushiro. "Did you catch a
lot of fish?"
      "Not really." Jyou stated as he ploppe ddown in the grass near his
brother and Jun. Koushiro quickly followed suit, but sat a little more
gracefully than the elder man. "Between Taichi and Yamato, and Gomamon
telling all the fish to leave, I'm suprised we caught anything."
      "If Tentomon wouldn't have electrocuted part of the water, we wouldn't
have any fish at all." Koushiro said, matter of factly.
      "Did you know that Jun is going to nursing school this fall?"
      Jun blushed as Shin mentioned her career choice.
      "Oh really? This will be my second year in medicine. We need some good
nurses in the hospitals. It's a shame to see how some nurses treat the
patients and doctors."
      Koushiro laughed. "Jyou's just upset because his roommate is always
receiving nurse's phone numbers, but he can't get any."
      "Ha ha." Jyou glared at Koushiro. "Like you have room to talk, he who
has a shrine to Miss Tachikawa but is afraid to speak to her."
      "Anyways," Jyou smiled at Jun as she leaned against Shin. "When did
you decide on becoming a nurse?"
      "A few years ago, both of my grandparents went in to the hospital, and
it made me sick how the nurses treated them. I decided that I should be a
nurse so I can help ease terminally ill patients pain with compassion."
      "That's very noble." Jyou whispered as he laid back on the grass. "I
wish I had a good reason like that for becoming a doctor. I'm still trying to
please tousan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh my God!" Jun elated as she sat down next to her brother and Veemon
"That was so much fun! And I'm even going on a date with Shin this Friday!"
      "At least one of us had a good time." Daisuke grumbled as he laid
down, draping his legs over Jun. "I walked in on Yamato and Taichi, then
again on Yamato and Sora. I think I'm going to be scarred for life."
      "You have the worst luck, Dai." Jun smiled as she patted his knee.
"Jyou told me all about the different hospitals in the area. I think I'm
going to volunteer at the one where he's doing his residency."
      "But aren't you dating Shin?"
      "Yeah, but Jyou's the doctor. He knows all about the best hospitals
and stuff. Shin's a history teacher."
      "So how much of an age difference is there between Shin and you?"
      Jun shrugged. "He's four or five years older." She pushed Daisuke's
legs to the ground, then stood up. "Tell mom that I'm asleep, ne?"
      "Whatever. Good night Jun."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ya know," Yamato slurred as he set the glass to his fifth shot of
whiskey of the hour down, "Taichi would be the first of us to get married."
The twenty-one year old blonde pulled a cigarette from his tuxedo pocket,
took a drag, then slammed it in to the nearby ash tray. "He couldn't let me
beat him this once."
      "Yamato!" Sora snapped as she hurried over to her fiancee. "I thought
we agreed that you wouldn't drink so much, and that you'd stop smoking!"
      "Take it easy Sora." Shin smiled from his seat next to Yamato. "Yama's
just stressed right now. Taichi is his best friend, and now he's going to be
staying in New York with his new career and Caitlin."
      "Come Yamato. We're leaving."
      "Nah." Yamato hiccupped as he turned to face Sora. "I gotta give mah
toast, 'cuz I'm da man!" He laughed as he turned to Gabumon. "And you's da
wolf man!"
      Shin turned to Jun, who was sitting next to him at the bar. They had
been dating for almost three years now, and neither wanted to think of
marriage. Their careers were much more important than starting a family.
      "What's wrong koi?" Shin noticed that Jun had been sadly watching
Caitlin Yagami, Taichi's new wife, all night. Jun sighed, then smiled at
Shin.
      "I don't know Shin-san." Jun stood up from her seat at the bar. "I
need some air."
      Jun looked down at her watch. The five minutes that she stood in the
cold February night air made time seem as it were passing slowly. She
couldn't go back to the reception yet. As much as she tried to convince
herself that she didn't want or need marriage to define her as a person, she
was jealous of Caitlin.
      It wasn't because Caitlin had taken Taichi out of the bachellor pool
either- it was because Caitlin now had some stability in her life. Stability
that Jun had never known, even in these past three years with Shin.
      "Are you cold?" Jun turned to see Jyou standing in the doorway of the
hotel lounge.
      "A little." She smiled as Jyou walked over to her and placed his suit
coat over her shoulders. "Arigato."
      "So what's wrong? Daisuke has been looking all over for you."
      "Well Jyou, I don't know what's wrong with me. Just the other day, I
told Shin that I don't want to get married. Today, I'd give anything to be in
Caitlin's place."
      "Did you tell this to Shin?"
      "Oh no." Jun closed her eyes as she shook her head. "He's too busy
listening to Yamato. Besides, he doesn't want to marry me."
      Jyou stared skeptically at Jun. "And how do you know this? Shin always
speaks very highly of you. You're beautiful and compassionate. What more
could he possibly want?"
      Jun sighed. "Someone who is able to have children."
      "Oh my God." Jyou hugged the crying young woman. "When did you find
out?"
      "Back in high school" Jun whispered, "I was attacked and raped on a
class trip. When I found out I was pregnant, I paniced, so I made sure that I
lost the baby. Something went wrong, and now I can't have children."
      "I'll have a talk with Shin. And everything will get better, I
promise."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh my gosh!" Mimi squealed as she hugged Sora. "How far along are
you?"
      "Five months." The red head smiled as she patted her slightly enlarged
abdomen. "Yamato and I are so excited. And did you hear about Takeru and
Hikari? She just had a boy about a week ago! They named him Tomoe!"
      While the two women chattered about Sora's pregnancy, Daisuke walked
over to Yamato.
      "So how have you been Yama? Is her pregnancy driving you insane yet?"
      "She's not too bad. Then again, I've been on tour for five months."
Yamato said with a smile. "And congratulations Dai."
      "Arigato. It's not every day that the Jun-Beast settles down and
decides to get married."
      "I can't believe that Shin would marry her."
      Daisuke led Yamato toward the front of the reception hall.
      "Yeah, about Shin. They broke up right after your wedding."
      "My God." Yamato exclaimed, partially because Shin and Jun weren't
getting married, and partially because Jun looked even more beautiful than
the day she first came to the digital world on a picnic with the others.
"Then who did she marry?"
      "She snagged herself a doctor." Almost as if on cue, Jyou rushed out
of the kitchen and whisked Jun on to the dance floor.
      "Now that's even more unbelieveable than her saying she doesn't think
Yamato's attractive." Taichi stated as the three watched the newlyweds waltz
effortlessly across the dance floor. When the song ended, Jyou leaned down to
kiss Jun.

For those people out there who do not believe in miracles, they have
never gone through what I have. I have waited my entire life for this moment,
and out of the chaos and pain, comes pure joy. This is truly a miracle, an dI
thank God every day for bringing Jyou, and now our new son Jiro, in to my
life. I don't know how I was able to have Jiro, but I am the happiest woman
in the world because of my two men. Jiro is the most beautiful baby that I
have ever seen- he has Jyou's hair, and my amber eyes.
      I can see Jyou holding our son right now. Both father and son are
sitting in a rocking chair sleeping. Even though I am so exhausted from
today, I cannot sleep. I am too happy watching my husband and my son.
