Disclaimer: I own nothing of this except the ideas behind it.
Pairings: Takuya/Kouji
Note: Starting in Chapter 4, this fanfic will include some OCs I made to take over the other spirits that were corrupted in the show. If you aren't interested in that, you should probably not read at all.
You will also see in Chapter 4 that I have created my own major idea for this fanfic. It may sound kinda stupid...you can judge that for yourself. Just thought I'd warn you...
Chapter 1
It was dark. All that could be seen were red beams shooting out of the shadows. Agunimon ran, ducked, and jumped every which way to avoid getting hit. He couldn't see the others. He couldn't even see who was shooting him. All he could do was try to stay alive. He jumped, trying to dodge another lazer that was shot at his feet. He tripped on the landing and fell, unable to catch himself. He looked up and saw a lazer coming right at him. He shut his eyes. Everything was all over. It couldn't be over! Not after everything they'd been through! How- his thoughts were cut short...
Takuya woke with a jolt. He didn't know anything right now except for what had just happened in...what must've been a dream. So it was just a dream. He let out a sigh; nothing bad actually happened. He finally decided to take in his surroundings. He was at Kouji's house, not much of a surprise. What was a surprise was the look on his friend's face from the other side of the couch. "Takuya, is everything okay?" Kouji asked, sounding rather worried. "You're sweating..." Takuya felt his forehead. He was sweating, rather badly. The front end of his hair was soaked and sticking to his forehead. He sat up on the couch, wiping his the damp area with the bottom of his shirt as he did so. Kouji stared Takuya down, still seaking an answer. Brown eyes met blue and Takuya knew he should say something. With how he looked, he knew 'everything's fine' wouldn't be an acceptable answer...might as well say the truth.
"I had a dream...a nightmare," he corrected himself, shifting his gaze to his feet, "I was Agunimon. Everything was dark to the point where I couldn't even see what was right in front of me! All I knew is I was there and red lazers were shooting out of the darkness. It was weird. And right before I woke up, I was about to get hit." Takuya looked back up at his raven-haired friend, "I would just blow it off as just another nightmare...but it's weird that it was in the Digital World. I haven't even really thought about the place since we got back here 7 years ago."
7 years, that's how long it'd been since the gang had their adventure. Since then, nothing had changed...except their age, of course. Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, Junpei, and Izumi were getting ready to graduate high school and Tomoki was getting ready for his sophomore year. They were all still best friends...although, they'd been seeing less and less of each other recently. They blamed it on school, finals, and after school activities, of course. Kouji and Takuya, however, had only been seeing more and more of each other. They'd become 'study buddies'. Mostly for Takuya's sake. He needed help in everything and Kouji was...perhaps a little too happy to offer his services. Takuya was at Kouji's almost everyday to get help in pracitcally every subject. That's why he's there today...they'd just taken a 'short' break from studying which Takuya conveniently used to fall asleep, thus giving the current situation.
Kouji looked at his friend. "That's weird...do you think it means something?" He asked, one eyebrow raised. "I'm not sure. But I guess we'll find out soon enough." Takuya replied. "Yeah, I suppose you're right." Kouji said, not really sure of what else to add to the conversation. He glanced over at the clock. It was getting a little late. "Hey, Takuya. It's kinda late, do you wanna call your mom and see if you can stay over? I'm sure my parents will be fine with it." Takuya nodded, reaching into his pocket for his cell phone. "I had completely forgotten about time...hope mom won't be too mad with me." Kouji couldn't help but laugh. "You're the one who fell asleep. I tried waking you up...a couple times, actually. But you sleep like a log!" Takuya glared jokingly at his best friend who just laughed some more.
Takuya got a hold of his mom who was just glad to hear that he was alright, thinking he might've gotten mugged on the way home or something. She said it was alright for him to stay and with that and an "I love you" and "goodbye", the phone call was done. The two teens weren't really sure of what to do now. They sat and watched TV for a bit but Kouji started yawning and Takuya decided he could go for some more sleep too, so they went up to bed.
