Digimon Frontier in Takuya Quits?

A/N: Here's chapter 2

Takuya just finished showering and decided to relax in the bath tub. He stood up and headed for the bath tub but froze in his tracks, his eyes widening. He looked at the bathroom mirror to see a goat-like figure staring back. He rubbed his eyes before looking again to see his own face.

"Maybe it's just my imagination." he thought out loud. 'But why did that figure look so familiar?'

"Never mind" He turned around and saw darkness fill in the room. Soon a dark figure came out of it; it had black armor with many eyeballs. Takuya was too scared that he didn't even have the strength to scream. As Duskmon started to walk towards him he backed up.

"S-Stay a-away…" He shuttered, finally finding his voice. But it fell on deaf ears as Duskmon continued to walk. Takuya kept moving back till he was cornered by the tub. He looked back nervously and was startled when he saw Duskmon face to face. He pressed closer to the tub and tripped, falling into it. He dint surface from the water scared to face Duskmon, wishing he would just disappear. After some time he came out of the water gasping for air, breathing heavily. He looked around to make sure 'HE' was gone and sighed relieved.

'Am I seeing things? What if that creature is a true being? Why is it haunting me?' these were the thoughts running through his head as his idea of relaxing was a vain.

Zoe got off Dark trailmon thanking him for the ride.

"No problem kid, any time." he said in his deep voice. Zoe smiled and looked around the place trying to recognize it.

"Hey isn't this the underground train station?" asked Zoe.

"..."

When she got no answers she turned around to find nothing, Dark trailmon was gone.

"And I thought Takuya was weird." she said 'and cute' she added in her mind and blushed. But she sighed soon after, remembering her mission.

"Takuya I'll find you and take you back with me."

"Guys, I won't fail you." She went to the elevator and pushed the up button, waiting for the doors to open. When it did she got in and pressed ground floor button. She waited patiently till the doors opened to her destined floor and got out. She looked around and wasn't surprised to see the station full of people running around to catch their train. But one thing caught her eyes. It was a calendar which showed the same date on which they left for the digital world and shocked was an understatement when she looked at the clock which read 12:00.

'What is going on? I am reliving 6 hours of my life before I went to the digital world. How can Ophanimon forget to mention that' she thought.

"These thoughts aside, I should find Takuya." she said earning weird looks from passersby. She moved away from the elevator looking at her D-tector.

'Well, Ophanimon said my D-tector will lead me to him but how?' she thought as she played with the buttons. Suddenly a 3d map popped up pointing towards a direction.

"Um, that worked. Now to find Takuya…" she said as she followed the map.

Takuya came to the dining room all dressed up. Shinya was sitting on the floor, playing his new video game he got for his birthday. Their mother was in the kitchen preparing lunch and nice dishes for the party. She turned around when she heard him enter the room with a questioning look on her face.

"Did you just finish bathing?" She asked. She noticed how pale he looked and continued asking

"What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost."

'Only if you knew' thought Takuya before answering her question. "Nothing, just tired"

"Okay? Tell me, what were you doing in the bathroom for an hour? I was starting to think you slept off or passed out after slipping and falling, hurting yourself."

"Mom, I am not that careless!" he retorted.

"Oh really? Then what about the time you weren't paying attention to where you're going and tripped over a sign board that warned you about the pit that you fell into. You broke your leg and had to stay in the hospital for a month." She said with a smirk but her eyes denied the tone she used. Shinya laughed.

"That was an accident! I wasn't looking at where I was going." he replied. "And will you stop laughing you squirt!" he yelled glaring at Shinya quieting him.

"That's exactly my point. You were careless." pointed out .

"But-"

"Never mind" she sighed. "Your breakfast is in the microwave. And when are you going have lunch? It's almost twelve and lunch is ready." She said going back to her work.

"Well, I guess I'll skip lunch." said Takuya as went to the microwave and set the timer. He leaned against the fridge, folding his arm over his chest waiting for his food to get warmed while thinking deeply.

'Is that guy with the black armor real? But why is he after me? What if he is some kind of monster sent here to kill me?' he flinched 'I have been thinking of this for an hour now but I can't find any answers. But he looks so familiar and that goat-like reflection…I think I know both of them. I think everything is somehow related to the dream I had, but how? I don't even remem-' His train of thoughts was interrupted by the timer going off. He took his breakfast to the dining table and sat down continuing to think. He was lost in his thoughts that he forgot about his breakfast and didn't hear his mom calling out to him.

"TAKUYA!?"

"Huh?" he looked up not even remembering when he started looking down in the first place. He saw his mother standing next to him with a hand on his shoulder and Shinya staring at him with a… worried look?

"Are you alright Hon? You were zoned out and dint respond when I called you for like four times."

"I am fine, just thinking." he said. Shinya sighed and returned to his game. He was sure his brother was hiding something.

"You can tell me if something is bothering you. Sharing it helps you lower the stress, maybe I can help you." said Mrs. Kanbara carefully not wanting to offend her eldest.

"It's nothing; no big deal."

"If you say so…" She went back to the kitchen to continue her work still unsure. 'I am sure something is bothering him. But what? Why is he hiding it from me?'

Takuya finally started eating his food but this time he was not lost in his thoughts. 'Great, now Mom is suspicious and worried. This is a problem I have to solve on my own. I can't drag my family into this whatever 'this' is.' He finished his breakfast after a few minutes and put the dishes in the dish washer. He sat next to Shinya watching him play.

"Mm…Takuya do you wanna play this game with me? Grandma and grandpa bought it for me. It's really good." asked Shinya excitedly holding out the other controller for him to take. He was shocked when Takuya shook his head dismissively.

"No, I not in the mood for it."

"But Nii-chan you always jump at the opportunity to play." Shinya was way beyond shocked.

"Well not today- hey what are you doing?" Takuya yelled when Shinya put a hand on his forehead.

"You don't have a fever…" Shinya commented "But then why are you acting so strange?"

'Oh brother' thought Takuya "I am not! You're just imagining things!"

"…" Shinya opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he heard the door bell ring.

"I'll get it." Takuya said and got on his feet escaping the questions that were sure to come. Takuya sighed while heading to the door. 'Mom and Shinya are curious to find out what is in my head but how can I tell them when I myself can't understand anything.' He sighed again.

"Who will it be at this time of the day?" he wondered as he opened the door and gasped.

"Zoe?"

Zoe followed the map and now she was in downtown Jiyuugaoka.

"Ahh, I should have taken a train to Jiyuugaoka from Shibuya. Now my legs hurt." She groaned.

"Okay? Now take a left- wait a minute this place looks familiar, like I have been here before but when? And why?"

"Come on Zoe, concentrate in your mission." she told herself. She took another turn and stopped before a house, her D-tector going haywire.

"I think this is it. Whoa this house is even more familiar." she said. She smiled seeing the name board that she did make it to the right place, all that's left is to convince Takuya to come back. She entered the compound, walked through the drive way and came to door. She rang the door bell, pocketed her D-tector and waited for the door to open wishing it could be Takuya who opens. After few seconds the door opened and standing before her was the one who she came for. She heard him gasp and was surprised when he called her by her name.

"Zoe?"

Takuya's POV

Wait a minute- How do I know her? I don't remember seeing her before! But a part of me feels like I know her, another part thinks she's a complete stranger.

"Takuya do you remember me?" she asked. Well I had to know her because she knows my name and she sounded hopeful but why? Agh my head is throbbing like before. Suddenly I see myself standing by the door in a train carriage before me were three kids one of whom is the girl who is standing before me right now. Hold it! It's like the dream I had going in that train! I am starting to remember the dream or should I say nightmare. OOCH! My head hurts ten times more; I hold my head wishing it could go away. Then I remembered I dint answer her question, I looked at her and felt bad because she looked worried. I think I should tell her the truth, for some reason I believe her.

"I think I do agh…I don't know, I think I am forgetting something." I answered truthfully.

Zoe's POV

I was surprised he knew my name and I hopefully asked him "Takuya do you remember me?" But I knew he wouldn't because according to what Ophanimon said he couldn't remember me. I look at him and see he is in deep thoughts. I got worried when he held his head looking like he was in pain. I felt guilty because I felt that I was the cause of his pain. He looked and me and answered

"I think I do agh…I don't know, I think I am forgetting something."

Maybe his memories were blocked away. So trying to remember is making his head ache. I should try a different approach so as to not give him much pain.

Normal POV

"Takuya dear who's at the door?" asked Mrs. Kanbara. as she came out of the kitchen.

"Zoe is that you?" she asked as she saw her.

"Mrs. Kanbara?" asked Zoe smiling. "No wonder this place is so familiar."

"How are you dear?" asked Mrs. Kanbara. "It's been a long time since you came to visit us."

"I'm doing great and yes it been a month since we last saw each other." Zoe smiled wider.

"Mom, you know Zoe?" asked Takuya.

"Yes"

Takato: Wow Zoe and Mrs. Kanbara know each other but how? Why is Duskmon haunting Takuya? Will Zoe be able to complete her mission? Find out in the next chapter of 'Takuya quits?'
