Chapter 4: Hikari and Wolfmon
"What?" Kouji asked, stunned.
"Kouji, I want to be your friend." Hikari repeated in a quiet voice. "You just told me that you didn't have any friends and I want to be your first friend."
What Kouji didn't want to tell her was that she was the girl of his dreams and that a friendship might ruin any chance he had with her. But, he also didn't want to be friendless for the rest of his life. Hikari was offering him the hand of friendship and he had to accept it. He just had to. After all, he'd never had a friend before now. Kouji smiled bashfully. "Okay, then, Hikari." He said. "Let's be friends."
He reached out his hand to shake and she accepted. Then, he did something surprising. He kissed her hand, causing her to blush furiously.
"I'd say that we're getting off to a nice start." She said, her face as pink as her top. "Are there others like you? Other children, I mean."
"Yes, there's Takuya Kanbara, Izumi Orimoto, Jumpei Shibyama and Tomoki Himi. But, I don't talk to them much. I keep to myself."
"I'm not surprised." Hikari muttered to herself. Luckily Kouji didn't hear her. "Can I meet them sometime?"
"Maybe." Was Kouji's reply.
Hikari understood. "Can I stay with you?" she asked shyly. "I hope that you don't mind my company."
Kouji turned crimson. "Not at all." He replied. "You're welcome to stay with me as long as you want to."
Hikari gave Kouji a sparkling smile. "Thank you, Kouji." She said. "I'm glad that I have a new friend to spend time with."
Kouji slipped his hand into Hikari's. "So am I, Hikari." He said. "So am I."
Their relationship was off to a very nice start.
A few days later, Kouji rejoined up with the rest of the Chosen Children and he introduced Hikari to the others. Then the six of them traveled together.
This peaceful traveling was brought to a halt with the arrival of Grottomon, who attacked them. Suddenly, protecting Hikari, who was unable, to evolve became a priority, because Grottomon had quickly noticed her, and slide evolved to Gigasmon and attacked Hikari. Kouji was the first to notice that Hikari was in danger and he quickly evolved to Wolfmon and, for the time being, managed to chase off Gigasmon. For the time being.
Once Hikari was safe, Wolfmon turned to her. "Are you all right, Hikari?" he asked her, concerned.
Instead of answering, Hikari screamed.
"What's with her?" Takuya asked. "Hasn't she ever seen a digimon before?"
"There are digimon in my world, too!" Hikari shrieked. "But how does THAT one know my name!?" She pointed at Wolfmon.
"Because I'm Kouji." Wolfmon explained rationally. " I evolved using the Human Spirit of Light. I told you about that, remember?"
Hikari looked shocked. "Kouji?" she whispered. "Is that really you?"
Wolfmon nodded.
Hikari turned pink. "Oh. Well, I like seeing you this way, too." She said. "I feel better knowing that there are two Koujis protecting me instead of just one."
Wolfmon smiled. "I'm glad."
Hikari looked up at Wolfmon and gave him the very smile that he'd first fallen in love with so long ago. "So am I." Was her reply.
Wolfmon actually picked Hikari up and held her so that their faces were level with each other. She giggled and actually wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and she leaned in really close. And for a few brief seconds, they were quiet. Then, they leaned in closer and allowed their lips to meet in a soft, gentle kiss.
At this, Takuya howled like a wolf at the full moon.
He was ignored.
Hikari pulled her lips away and whispered. "Love is like dynamite."
"Yes." Wolfmon replied. "It can start off with a bang.
"Love dynamite." they whispered together, still ignoring Takuya's obnoxious howling.
"What?" Kouji asked, stunned.
"Kouji, I want to be your friend." Hikari repeated in a quiet voice. "You just told me that you didn't have any friends and I want to be your first friend."
