Same story, new title meaning "dream of" in Japanese. I accidently posted the wrong work, and it had all the spelling erors. Thankyou, ritachi for pointing that out...
(previous A/N)Okay, so I wanted to celebrate my 1st ever anniversary on fanfiction, but the things I've written for the occasion have all turned crappy. It's also my Entities anniversary, and I won't give you the long and very weird story, but they are asleep. So... I don't have them to help me with this. Which is actually just a redone little thing. Very short, some language, brotherly bonding... hope you enjoy

I disclaim any ownership of the personas of Kouji, Kouichi or anything to do with Digimon Frontier.

Not a lot of things frighten me now that I've come home from the Digital World. But, not to say that the Digital World isn't my home, because I've changed and lived so much there that I think it has become my second home. To all of us, even after the three years we have been away from it.

But like I was saying, I don't get easily frightened now that I've come back. It'll take something like Lucemon back from hell to scare me out of my wits, and that's still not saying I won't stand up to it. Some things bother me, things that remind me of the worse times in the digital world, but I'm not really scared of those things. But still, when somethings do scare me, it's nice to feel comforted and protected at those times.

What I'm trying to say... I just... I'm afraid that I'll lose my brother. I'm afraid that Kouichi will be taken away from me. I have nightmares of him disappearing. Those are the worst. I remember one time when it happened, but luckily he was there for me afterwards.

We were sleeping over the weekend, like we usually do. We switch off eachother's house every other week or so, alternating from my house the last week so that I was at his and Okaa-san's apartment this weekend. Now, Kouichi has some really odd sleeping... habits. I sometimes wonder if he has some sleeping disorder or something. But other than that, I know that he likes to sleep next to me. I mean, I like sleeping with him too, but it's not the same. He would curl up and cuddle against me and grasp my shirt... sorta cute; like a kitten or something.

Anyway, we came to bed, the window cracked open to let in cool night air like Kouichi likes and the moon shining in through the window just how I liked it. Kouichi had placed his futon right where the moonlight would shine down on us when he learned that I liked to sleep that way. We righted ourselves on the mattress into out preferred comfortable positions against eachother; where I would lay myself in the moonlight with my arms around Kouichi's upper back and Nii-san with one arm over my chest and one trapped under himself while he pressed his face into my shoulder.

I think one of those disorders Kouichi has is a light case of insomnia or something, because it takes him forever to fall asleep. Me, I can sortof just drift off at any time, but I can choose to stay awake anyway, usually to just listen to my twin as he falls asleep. I like having him next to me, to reassure myself as I listen to his steadily slowing breath that he is there; a sound that I could easily fall into a trance from.

Usually when we sleep like this together, I'm fine, really I am. It just must have been something I ate that day. Not that Mother's cooking isn't good, no way, but I distinctly remember us having a leftover pizza that night. And just thinking about that makes my stomach shudder; augh, leftover pizza...

What I dreamt was just really annoying, weird and creepy. Like I said, I don't scare easily, but it was just something about that nightmare that happen to just strike a nerve. At first, everything was okay, I was outside; long, tall grass, accompanied by strong oak trees spread abroad a foresty area. Thinking of it makes me think that I must have been KendoGarurumon, running through a wild field. It must have been, because I was on all fours, I remember. It felt wonderful to just be running like that, so free and light, as if flying. And JagerLowemon was there, too, and we were just there together, running. But by about that time, nothing more was good.

All the flowers and brush around us began turning a sickening maroon color, and the leaves on the trees turned red and yellow. It actually would have been a very pretty scenery if it hadn't been for the wilting and brown hue that followed. The grass was all brown and the land looked generally sick, the air harsh with a red tint in the light. I was suddenly panicked and I tried to reach him, my brother, but he must have turned back to human. And at that moment, when I could feel my heart beating rapidly from fright, the red flowers sprang up like vines to wrap around KendoGarurumon's metal body and stop me completely.

Then I heard her voice, haunting me, laughing at my weakness. Crusadermon rose from the red petals, holding onto my brother in her deadly grasp, making him shout out. I couldn't help him, and this time there was no one else there to save him, either; I was held back by the vines no matter how hard I thrashed and struggled. I could hear my twin whimpering as the golden thread around him tightened and squeezed; a pained look in his eyes. I couldn't help him.

The reins around him tightened, and he vanished in a puff of dark smoke.

It was weird for me waking up because Kouichi was still situated on my chest. I gave a hard jolt, eyes snapping open and breathing irregularly, momentarily stunned. When I tried to move, I almost thought I was still binded by the vines. But then I noticed Kouichi on top of me, shifting awake groggily. Nii-san is usually very slow to wake up, accompanying the slowness of him falling asleep. I didn't think much could wake him up, and yet he was there, shifting on top of me.

My comprehension was working doubly slower than normal, my mind still in a state of half-awaking, still suffering from the real feelings from the dream. Kouichi looked at me with sleepy blue eyes, the moon within them shining with worry.

"Kouji? Are you okay?" His voice was reassuringly gentle and I took a moment to look at him, at his tired and caring cerulean eyes. I remembered the look of pain and anguish that had been in those same eyes; those eyes that looked just like mine and yet they were so different. The look that Kouichi's dream self had given me, something that pleaded, 'save me', but I couldn't. But he was here now, and I took him into an embrace, holding him close to me. He held on sleepily, snuggling into my arms.

"Kouji?" He asked again. But I couldn't answer him, I didn't really want to. I just wanted to hold onto him, just to make sure he wouldn't disappear from me, just to make sure he was there. Then his arms found their way around my neck and I found myself in his arms instead of the other way around. I slowly buried my head into his chest and held on to him tightly, but gently, as if he could break if I squeezed too hard.

We didn't say anything, and Kouichi just lay there with me, holding me, protecting me. The darkness of the room was comforting and I was slowly reassured. Kouichi was with me, here, and he was just fine. We were here, together, and there was nothing to say about that.

After that, it took us both a while to fall back asleep.

Yay, a very underdone story to celebrate an anniversary! Also something out for the holidays. I just did it very quickly and I have been in a Koukou mood, but the hints in the story are not that major unless you want it to be.

There actually may be some added on chapters, but I'm not sure. The possibilities include a short on Kouichi having a nightmare, and some other random little brotherly things. The idea of the fic was just to imply why the twins got so close. I mean, I know that I've noticed my own writing as the twins always wanting to protect eachother, but I ask myself why... and blah. So, just a question. Think about it, reply if you want.
