((Just a little heads up and warning. This story is set right after Takuya and the gang returns from their Digital Adventure. They still have their Detectors, but their Spirits are back in the Digital World. This is where it becomes AU-ish. Junpei and Izumi are siblings, and Takuya and Tomoki don't have any brothers. Kouichi's mother got re-married, and Kouji's dad didn't. Then it all ties in with the Digimon Adventures of 02. The canon couples don't exist, and they are not married to their "destined" pairings. Duh, this is yaoi/yuri, so yeah. Let's see… The Digi-Destined of 02 are in their thirties, and you'll find out why. Takuya is younger than everyone but Tomoki, so there. Just read on, and tell me what you think. Oh and it's mostly Takuya & Daisuke centric, and the construction will be confusing. ^-^;))
[Chapter One: Back Again]

Then
He looked up at the floor that he used to live in. He could see the faint glow of the lights from the window of his sister's through the drowning rain. He forlornly frowned, and turned his head away. He walked on, never turning back, leaving his friends, his family… his life… 'I'll just hurt them. I can't stay. They'll be in danger, and plus… it's not like they'll notice but…' He tightly closed his eyes, not allowing the hot tears to fall. Numbly he forced his legs to run. Running away from everything.

Takuya
Slowly I wake up to find the sun shining brightly against my eyes. I groaned, and turned over to cover my head with my sheets. There was a low groan, and I had my sheets suddenly removed, and reveal me in my usual sleepwear. I groan out loud, and lazily move around my makeshift bed on the floor. "Dad!" I protest to the one responsible for rudely waking me from my nice dream. I dreamt I was back in the Digital World, with my friends, even Digimon. We had a nice picnic, talking nonsense as I stare at… I suddenly sat up with my eyes half way open. I lightly glared at my father. "It's early!" I grumbled.
My dad tossed my sheets beside me, and exited the empty room. "You promised that we'd set up the living room, and that will take us the whole day. Then tomorrow your bed set and furniture will arrive." He said with that same casual look.
Let me fill you in on what's going on. You see… I just moved into Tokyo with my dad from America, where I grew up. It was always us two, ever since I was born. My dad said my mother died when I was born, delivery problems, or something. My dad and I moved, because of his job, and they promoted him here, in headquarters. Yeah, my dad is part of this big company, and he works hard. Before we moved, we sold all our stuff in America, and used that money to buy new furniture for our new house here. My dad said Japan is where he grew up in.
Okay, well, a week ago, when my dad and I where going to go see our new apartment, something came up. Strange thing was, I got this text from this strange person, saying something about my destiny. At first I didn't believe, but then it felt serious to me. So I went to check it out. Come on, I was new, and I wanted to check out the town while I went out, promising my dad I'll be back so we can see the apartment together. Before I knew it, I was transported to another world. I was destined to become a Digimon, and to save, not only one world, but also both the worlds. Along with my new friends, we rescued the worlds from some evil Digimon. Soon this adventure turned out to be more than just a game, and I discovered new things inside of me. I also met this certain person… who I can't get out of my mind. It's driving me crazy, but I keep contact with this girl, Izumi. When we returned, it's as if the day hasn't ever gone by, and that made everything we been thought unreal…
"Okay fine." I replied and I got out from my bed on the floor, and folded the sheets. After that I washed up and dressed. A pile of boxes and my Dad with some tools now met me within our living room. I groaned at the long day this would be. Oh, I love my dad dearly. He's everything to me, and we'd do everything together. Sometimes I feel there's something my dad is hiding. I don't know what, but it's just a feeling. He's really cool and all, trying to make me happy in the best way I can. He works too hard, and I feel like I'm spoiled. I am an only child, but the only closest thing to a brother was Tomoki when I was in the Digital World. I went up to one box, and opened it up. My dad came near it as well, and we start to take out the things from within it.
"You know that you'll be going to school on Monday." I hear my father said.
"What? Why?"
My father chuckles, and I look up at him with a pouting look. He ruffles my hair. "Come on, you've been off for nearly two months, and it's not ever summer." He hears me groan, as a reply he smiles at me. "It won't be hard. Sure your reading and writing Japanese is rusty, but you'll catch up. Soccer season probably started, but it won't hurt if you try out." My weakness is… soccer. Hey, my dad taught me ever since I could walk, and I was obsessed with it. My dad told me that he used to play, and won some trophies, but left it at his childhood home. I've never met any of his family, my grandparents, or any possible relatives. I wondered why many times, but I guess it's something my dad doesn't want to talk about.
"Sure…" If my dad can keep secrets, so can I. I mean… he won't believe me on my whole Digimon Adventure, so why tell him? It's only between my friends, and me, which feels kind of cool. I keep my Digivice hidden from him in my closet. He'd wonder where I got it, and I can't say it's a toy or something. I'm bad at telling lies to him. "I'm hungry, I'll make some breakfast." I told him as I stood up. Then I went to our kitchen.

*Ring. Ring*
"Hello? Kido Residence."
"Jun?"
The maroon haired woman gasped at the voice, and stood up from her seat. "Daisuke! Is that you? Oh my god! I was so worried! You haven't called for at least two months! I was going to panic!" Motomiya Jun, no, Kido Jun has changed greatly over the years. She is now almost thirty-five and happily married to Kido Shin, the brother of Kido Jou. They have a beautiful six-year-old daughter, and one unborn that was coming in five months. Jun surprised her little brother by becoming a lawyer, and the head of her law firm.
"I'm sorry… its just Takuya and I moved to Japan during that time."
"What! You moved? And you didn't tell me?" She practically yelled over the phone.
"Sorry, Jun. We were busy, and Hitomi said that you were out of the city when I called last time. And she's only young, do you expect her to remember?"
Jun puffed her cheeks as if it was an insult on her child. "Hey! At least she is smarter than you were!" She shouted back.
"Okay, I get it. You should calm down Jun, you do know you're pregnant… unless the baby is already born."
Jun put a hand on her hip, and she closed her eyes. "Why don't you come over here and find out?"
"Maybe, if I have time." He replied.
The young woman sighed and sat down on the couch of the living room. "Dai… it's been almost been fourteen years since you left. A lot has happened, and the only thing I know is about Jou and his koi." She said softly.
"It's okay… but I'd like to see you again, so you can officially meet Takuya."
Jun smiled to herself. "I'd like that."
There was a loud noise of the door opening and Jun turned her head to look at who it was. "Momma! We're home!" called out a tiny girl that had bluish hair, and look much like her mother. "Hitomi and Shin are back from the groceries, I better go. It's nice to hear from you Dai." Then she hung up, and stood up from the couch. She kissed her husband sweetly and took a light bag from his arms.
"Who was that on the phone?" Shin asked his wife.
Jun looked up at him and smiled gently. "My brother. He's back."

Then
" Koi?"
"Hm?"
"This may sound stupid, but…"
"What?"
"Er… Would you rather loose two lives, or… one and a half of someone else's life?"
"One and a half?" Chuckles. "What are you talking about?"
"Just answer!"
"Okay, well…neither. Why?"
"Nothing… but you gave me the answer I needed."
"Chain letter?"
"Yeah…"
~
"Motomiya!"
A pair of chocolate brown eyes snapped wide, and he turned his head at the glaring teacher. The boy pales, and reddened in embarrassment. 'First day, and you're not paying attention.' The teacher neared the brunette. "Motomiya Takuya… you may be new here, but that doesn't give you the right to not pay attention in my class." Takuya sank in his seat, and heard the giggles that filled the room. 'Great… I'm going to be an outcast… again.'
"Sorry, sir. It's just hard for me to keep up with the reading." He thought it was believable, since it was half true.
The teacher sighed, and turned to walk back up in front of the class. "I swear, you are just like this other student I had a long time ago…" Takuya raised a brow, and blinked his eyes. He then sighed and turned his head to stare out the window. Something caught his eyes, and he blinked in confusion. 'Huh? A… Digimon?'
~
Chocolate brown eyes narrowed in alertness. He slightly turned his head, and stared into an empty hall. All he could hear was the constant rings of the telephone, and the murmurs of the workers that surround him. He frowned deeply, and walked over to his station. He sat down in front of his computer, and rapidly typed. His eyes widened in shock. "It's open… that means…" Suddenly there was a mail that popped up.
"The gates are open again. Your children have been naughty and interfered with my plans. I know you're here, and I'm planning to take what's going to be mine."
He frowned deeply, and deleted the message. "Takuya and the others have gone to Digital World already…" He stood up and took his jacket. "Hiro, tell Kaharu that I got an emergency family meeting. I'll see you tomorrow." He said in a rush, and quickly left the building.
~
"Hey Takuya! I knew I'd find you!"
The brunette turned around to see a smiling blonde girl coming up to him. "Izumi!" He smiled widely. "You go here too?"
The girl nodded. "No, I go to the school close to my house. Junpei goes to the Junior High next to it as well. I was just walking around and I wanted to know where you live." She said returning the boy's smile. They then continued walking. "So, how do you like it here in Japan?"
"Different, but I can adapt." He answered casually. Then Takuya's expression changed. "Um… you didn't happen to see some Digimon, did you?"
Izumi tilted her head, furrowed her brows. "Digimon? Here?"
The brunette nodded. "I wasn't imagining things, but I saw one just outside the class room."
"I don't know Takuya… but I thought Digimon can't come here in the Real World."
"That's what I thought too… but I'm not so sure anymore. I mean anything can happen, right?" he grinned.
The girl blushed a bit. She then walked ahead, and turned to face the brunette. She was walking backwards. "I know it may be far from your house… but do you want to come home with me and have diner sometime? Junpei has this new game, and I'm too busy to play it with him." She said.
"Sure, if I'm not busy as well." Takuya said in his careless manner.
"Izumi! Takuya!" Both turned their heads at the call of their names, and they spotted a familiar raven-haired boy, running their way. The brunette's face brightened at the sight of the boy. "Hey, what are you guys doing here? I thought you lived somewhere else?"
"Kouji!" Izumi smiled widely. "Actually I do live at the other side, but I wanted to see Takuya on his first day."
The raven-haired boy blinked his eyes, and looked at the brunette. "First day?" Takuya blushed under his stare.
Izumi nodded. "First day of school, he didn't tell you?" She fell silent, watching the two gazing at each other. She felt confused, and started to change the subject. "So, how are you and Kouichi, Kouji?" She asked.
The raven-haired boy turned to face her now. "Well… I haven't found the guts to tell my dad yet that I found out, nor have I met my mother yet." He said softly.
"Why are you afraid?" Takuya asked.
Kouji scowled. "I'm not afraid, I just don't know how to tell him."
Izumi frowned. "You know what, it's getting late. I have to go before Junpei gets in trouble because of me." She giggled, and waved bye to them.
Takuya was left with the frowning boy. He slowly met up with the deep blue eyes. "So…"
"So?" Kouji crossed his arms and walked away from the brunette. Takuya ran up to follow him. "You haven't tried to make contact with me for weeks, and I didn't even get your number. Izumi knows it, and I don't?"
Takuya slouched his shoulders, and stood still. Kouji turned around to face him. "I know… but I didn't want to bother you. I didn't want to take you away from Kouichi, who was just recovering. Plus I was busy fixing my apartment…" he bowed his head, not wanting to look into his icy stare. "I'm sorry…" He whispered.
Kouji's expression softened, and he sighed. He neared the small boy, and encircled his arms around him. "It's okay… I'm not mad, just worried." He said lightly. Takuya nodded, but stayed in his arms. They were young, but they knew they have feelings for each other. Ever since they met, things sparked, and they said they'd take things slowly. So they haven't done anything serious, yet.

He walked up the green-grassed hill, in silence. Motomiya Daisuke. His looks haven't changed, still looking young, with messy maroon/mahogany hair and those chocolate brown eyes. His character did change, after ten years. He was more responsible than anyone who thought that knew him. He was also still caring, and sometimes cocky. Why did he leave Japan? This he knew everyone he left behind would ask, especially…
When he got to the other side, a figure stood there, as if in shock. He slowed down, and stared a head of him. Right there before him, was a familiar man. He was a few inches taller than he was, and still had that same shoulder length bluish hair. His eyes were different, and matured. They still held that same unique violet hue, but with years gone by, he saw something different within. "Ichijouji…" Daisuke whispered to the wind.
The other man lightly blinked his eyes, and his expression didn't change from the blank stare. "Motomiya…" He replied.

To Be Continued…
((Bwahahaha!!! So what do you think? Confusing? Well, tell me what you think. There's Daiken and Takouji pairings, also some Junichi too! *Squeals* I love those pairings. Then there will also be some surprise pairings as well. There's slight Takumi, and Daiyako. Looks like Daisuke is holding a dark past, and no one knows about it, but himself. Takuya and Kouji have a relationship, but know one knows as well. You'll find it ironic why I put it like this, if you read on. ^.^ I'll wait until I get more than three reviews, then I'll update.))
