cherryblossumangel: Hi this is my first Digimon fanfic. Please don't be harsh on me....

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. I wish I did.

Chapter One: The Lone Wolf

Kouji Minamoto walked alone to to school. He was 19 years old, with dark blue hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a bandanna over his head, and a yellow shirt under a blue jacket with yellow stripes running down the sleeves.

He had his bookbag slung over one shoulder. Kouji was always lost in his thoughts, which were typical. Suddenly, a boy his age raced up to him.

"What's up, Kouji?" Takuya asked.

Takuya had the been his friend since college, when Kouji moved in his nieghborhood, and also went to the same college. Kouji let him tag along, since he never had a friend before.

His father had just gotten a new job, so Kouji had to follow him. Maybe that's why they divorced.....Kouji thought.

Suddenly, a girl seperated herself from a group in the hall, and came to greet them.

"Hi Kouji! Hi, Takuya!" she said. Her name was Akiya Arimoto, and she was also in their class. She had black hair and warm violet eyes. Kouji just grunted. Takuya turned as red as his jacket, which didn't go very well with his green hat and goggles. Since he had a crush on her, Takuya always turned red if he spotted her a mile away.

Akiya, clueless as to why Takuya blushed, said that to Kouji. He said nothing, as Takuya turned more red, and managed to stutter, " Ohh, it's nothing! I didn't feel well on the weekend!"

Akiya worried, put a hand to on his forehead. Takuya turned so red, Akiya said, more worried, "Your head feels really hot. Are you sure you're well enough to be in school?"

Takuya turned 20 times as red as before.



"Uhh, it's nothing.....umm, I'm well enough!" He grabbed Kouji's hand and ran for his life. Students were staring after them, but Takuya didn't care.

Kouji had a wierd tugging feeling in his heart. He hadn't had this feeling since his parents divorced.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Mommy, Daddy, what's wrong?" inquired a small Kouji. He was 9 years old. Kouichi, his big brother, said, "They were angry, and arguing."

I wonder what's wrong? they both wondered. Then Kouji turned away. Kouichi's friends were mean to him, so Kouichi started bullying him too. They had taken every friend Kouji had, and turned them into his enemies. He wondered briefly if his big, loving brother was still in there. Then he squashed it. Whatever was still inside, he thought bitterly, was turned to evil long ago.

Kouichi smiled, a very mean one. "Hey Kouji, I heard they were arguing about you. Since I'm going to live with Mom, they're deciding which one of them would take you. Both Mom and Dad don't want you!" Kouji started, turned around, and cried, "It's not true! Stop doing this to me! You're lying!"

Kouji smirked, and said very slowly, "It is."



Those two words combined echoed in Kouji heart over and over again.....

~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~



His parents were seperated, he was living near his dad now, and Kouichi lived with their mom. But Kouji had heard their mother died when he was about 11 years old.

Kouji had the twing again, this time very strong. He knew that tomorrow was the 8th anniversay of the day his parents divorced.

He reflected back. Hmp, Kouichi's not going to be happy, he thought. He depends on other people to get his needs. Serves him right. Then, he had this feeling that his older, caring, brother was still out there. He killed the thought. Evil has taken him, he reminded himself.

Suddenly, Takuya's words broke into his thoughts.



"Hey, are you going to the school's annual Winter dance?"
