This is just simple experiment, really. When I re-watched Frontier after... 10 years? I just realized how the other never show how their thought about the new kid, Kouichi, to their group. Maybe it because of the situation that their thought never shown back in the show so... I decided to try this. So original? XDa

Kouichi?

The first time I met him was when I went back to the real world. Not exactly "Met" since it's just simply a glance, my mind was too occupied by my friends that time that I don't give any attention to him. Besides, I thought that he looks so alike Kouji; other than that, nothing comes to mind.

To be honest, it never slipped into my mind that that boy is Kouji's long lost twin brother that turned out to be our enemy as well. When I heard Kouji said that the bird... What was it he called it again? Velgemon? Is his brother, I couldn't help but to think "Wow, this just like a drama that my mom watches on the TV!"

...I don't mean to mock them, really! I'm serious!

It was Kouji's face that told me that he was freaking serious about it as well. He was in pain. Maybe because he felt Kouichi's also in pain. I think I've watched it on TV before, the twin connection. Even though they grew up far from each other, I guess the bond is too strong huh?

Sheesh... I never saw Kouji go pale like that when we faced strong opponents. But when he saw his twin laid there, unconscious, after Kouji purified the Spirit of Darkness, he really was as pale as paper! As if his entire blood had been sucked out of him.

Ah? I get off the topic? I'm getting there. Patient, buddy.

After that, we took him to where the others had been waiting for us. They made several expressions, mostly shocked, when they are seen saw Kouichi. It's just like that, short introduction and we get into the Trailmon since we need to hurry to save Ofanimon.

After that, I've been trying to have conversation with him, Kouichi, er... not really a conversation really because all I said is just a hello and he nodded, before we went into awkward silence. At that time, I realized that he really is Kouji's brother. Aside from having identical appearance, they seemed to be sharing this aura that told the others to "go away", something that I haven't been felt from Kouji for a long time. But, the aura around Kouichi was different. I know it was because of the guilt. It's clearly shown all over his face after all.

Hehe, I'm not as dense as Izumi claimed, am I?

Aside from that aura, he seemed to have this "Gloomy" aura as well around him. Well, who wouldn't have it after you tried to kill your own brother? I was about to give up, seeing that Kouichi was not in a good mood to talk, that was when I feel Izumi's glare from outside. Okay, it's too early to give up so, I dug into my brain to find good words instead of a simple hello.

"Uhm… Kouichi,," I began, scratched my cheek awkwardly. Ah, okay, the first sentences was rhetorical question but hey, at least he's not ignore me or retort back with sarcasm or snorted like Kouji did, it's a weak nod, but that's mean he listened. Great, that's mean I don't need to deal with two Kouji, one is enough, really. "You see… Uhm… It's all right to fight with your brother sometimes." I Paused, "I do fight a lot with my little brother, so I guess that's just normal for a sibling to fight, right?"

Silent was his answer.

"Misunderstanding also normal though, I mean…" Paused again. "You never talk with him, do you?"

He nodded. "I'm a coward…"

"N-no, you're not. It's fine to be awkward, after all you said it your self that it was too sudden, the news that you have a siblings, it must be surprising. But you know, Kouji is your brother, he maybe a little cold but he's nice. You need to try to talk to him to know him better."

He said thanks with tiny smile afterward but, the gloomy mood still hasn't been lifted from him. I left the trolley where we had this "Awkward conversation" or more likely "One-way conversation" shortly after that when Angler decides to move. I know that there's nothing else that I could do about him, at the moment at least.

So long story short, after we give some encouragement to Kouji and fought the Cherubimon, it all started to change.

I don't like it one bit, that rabbit. But even though I hate to admit it, he was so strong that even our combined attack didn't deal much damage to him. Even after me and Kouji Fusion evolve, the table still didn't turn to us and Cherubimon was successful in knocking us down. After that, I heard that he tried to convince Kouichi to be back at his said and admit all the jealousy, pain and also anger, which he admitted. Even though I can't move my body when he faced Cherubimon, I could hear the time he refused to be on that stupid rabbit's side anymore, and not only that, I could feel the courage on every word that came out from his mouth.

It's hard to believe that he was the same silent and gloomy boy from before.

If only I could move that time, surely I would whistle in awe and cheer for his words. That speech made Cherubimon's face turn priceless, seriously!

Not only with words, but he also beat Cherubimon by himself with the purified Spirit of Darkness, even though it turned to be that it was just a clone, the Cherubimon, but it's still a high achievement! Since even me as Aldhamon, and Kouji as BeoWolfmon can't deal even a single scratch, but Lowemon and KaiserLeomon could! Isn't that awesome?

That also makes me take several mental notes, remind me to not make him angry. He was far worse than Kouji! Guess the title of Warrior of Darkness is not just a name huh? Since that guy is really scary when he's mad. That's proven at the battle with IceDevimon.

The experience that I had after we traveled together for some time told me this : When Kouichi is in the best mood, he's your man. He will help with the best ability that he could. But piss him off, and you will regret that you ever messed with him. Especially if his twin IS related.

Who I should work on next? I think I will make Kouji for the last so... Tomoki? Izumi? Junpei? :Da
