Dark Stormchaser: [excited] Okay! I was going to wait but…I just couldn't! And this time I have Kouji helping me!

Kouji: [narrowed eyes in irritation]

Storm: [grins] Don't glare so much. You'll get wrinkles.

Kouji: [glares] Are you usually like this?

Shadow: [blinks innocently] What ever do you mean?

Kouji: [twitches angrily] Are you seriously going to pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about?

Storm: [smirks] Yes.

Kouji: [glares] Why am I here?

Storm: [grins] Because you and Taichi are the main stars of this three shot.

Kouji: [frowns] Why?

Storm: [smiles dreamily] I like you with him. Plus, this was a favor for my sister. She's in love with you.

Kouji: [sarcastic] Lucky me.

Storm: [ignores him] I know right? Here's the first chapter.

Disclaimer: I am not a genius therefore I don't own Digimon. I am merely obsessed with it at the current moment.

Chapter 1 – Taichi x Kouji Bargain

Taichi growled angrily, tugging at his chains. They were made of silver so he couldn't shift to break them. He growled angrily. His mate was nearby. A humorless smile graced his lips. Of course, his little mate was the reason for his current situation. The jail door creaked opened and the object of his thoughts slipped in, closing the door silently. Taichi watched him carefully, not even perturbed as his mate eyed him suspiciously. Taichi waited for him to speak. When his mate refused to say anything, Taichi sighed. "What is your name, little one?" Taichi asked. His mate glared at him.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Kouji asked flatly. "Considering you tried to kidnap me a couple of hours ago." Taichi didn't deny it. He had been about to kidnap his mate. It was a thing among dragon shifters. They took what they wanted, without question, without hesitation. It usually caused a rift between vampires and dragon shifters. The vampires were usually too proud to allow dragon shifter to take what they want from them. Greedy bastards. But now it seemed that the Fey had decided to rebel as well.

"If that's what you want," Taichi answered smoothly. "My name is Taichi of the Kamiya clan. What's your name, little one?" The Fey scowled angrily.

"My name is Kouji," he snapped.

"Kouji," Taichi murmured. "I see. You're Kouichi's little brother." When Kouji's eyes lit up with recognition and longing, Taichi knew he was right.

"So, you do know my brother," Kouji said flatly. Taichi smiled at Kouji, taking notice of how small and fragile he seemed.

"Yes. He is with my cousin," Taichi said calmly.

"The dragon that kidnapped him a few weeks ago?" Kouji asked coldly.

"Is that how you see what happened?" Taichi asked instead.

"I was there," Kouji said flatly. "I watched that dragon snatch him off the ground and carry him off, ignoring us as we pleaded with him to leave him alone."

"I see," Taichi said slowly, examining his mate. He was cold, distant. He could smell the pain radiate from him though, as if his weakness to stop his brother's abduction pained him. "I can promise you that your brother is unharmed and well taken care of." Kouji stiffened and glared.

"And I am supposed to trust you?" Kouji asked coldly. Taichi pierced him on the spot.

"I will never lie to you, Kouji. You are too precious to me for me to do that to you," Taichi said seriously. He could smell his words disturbed him. Kouji took a step back, shaking his head.

"It's not okay to lie to me but it's okay to kidnap me? I find that hard to believe," Kouji said flatly.

"Hardly. While I would never lie to you, I will do anything to bind you to me. I will take you from everything that you know just to keep you near me," Taichi admitted calmly. Kouji blushed.

"Why? Why would you do that?" Kouji demanded. Taichi met his gaze steadily.

"Because you are my soul mate," Taichi murmured. Kouji shook his head, his face draining of color. Taichi could smell the fear, the denial.

"No. Is that why…dragon have been abducting people?" Kouji began.

"Yes, Kouji. It is mating season. We are hunting for our mates. And I have found mine," Taichi said. Kouji shook his head, his eyes hardening slowly.

"No. Never. I will never mate one of you," Kouji said coldly.

"I don't smell hatred from you, Kouji," Taichi said softly. "Why are you afraid of me?" Kouji shook his head, backing away. But his fear increased, along with the denial.

"I am not afraid of you," Kouji snapped. But it was a lie. Before Kouji could speak, a woman's voice called his name, panicked. Kouji cursed and bolted for the door.

"Kouji, come back soon," Taichi said softly. Kouji hesitated. "Kouji, promise me." Kouji shot a glare at him.

"Why?"

"I'll tell you anything you want to know," Taichi said softly. "But only if you come back alone." Kouji bit his lower lip but darted out of the jail, closing the door shut behind him. Taichi growled lowly, forcing himself to be patient. His mate would return. He only hoped his mate would return alone.

Dark Stormchaser: There it was! The first chapter.

Kouji: [glares] I can see why so many people don't like you right now.

Storm: [smirks] Don't worry, darling. You'll hate me more later on.

Kouji: [glares] Do I want to know?

Shadow: [smirk evilly] Like you have a choice?

Kouji: [twitches angrily] I am going to kill you.

Storm: [smirks] Get in line, darling. Thank you for reading and please review.
