Please Come Back to Me by Yaoi Girl

Sighing heavily every once in a while and trying to hide his tears from people passing by him as he walked down the side walk, Takeru wandered aimlessly around the city, nothing in his mind but Daisuke.

'Why him, of all people? But, at least, I know that he didn't go down without a fight. I know how he is; Daisuke will fight to the bitter end.'

Finally, the young blonde's legs couldn't take the strain of walking another step, so he found a bench under a shady tree in the park that he had ventured into, sitting down heavily, head lowered, arms wrapped lightly across his abdomen.

'I wonder what's happening to him right now, while I'm sitting here, totally useless… I wonder what he's thinking about. Is he scared? No…he's the keeper of courage after all. Could he be thinking about me or his friends and family? Like he'd actually think about me… To him, I'm just an obstacle in his path to Hikari…'

Sniffing, he folded an elbow under his head, as he lay curled up on the bench, staring at the peeling green paint of its back. 'Daisuke…'

For nearly an hour, Takeru stayed like that, his back to the outside world as he silently cried and thought about the auburn-haired boy he adored so much.

"I knew I'd find you here."

Takeru wearily rolled over, looking up at his brother through the blinding rays behind the standing youth, not saying a word, just staring at him helplessly.

"Ken's been calling for you all afternoon. He said it was real important," the older blonde said softly, even as Takeru threw himself into his brother, hugging him tightly as he sobbed.

"What's more important that Daisuke?" he wailed into his brother's chest angrily.

Smiling sympathetically down at his younger self, Yamato backed away from him and handed him his digi-vice. "He said you'd need this soon. Let's go home."

The walked in silence, all the while, Takeru staring at the object he held in his hand. 'What does this have to do with anything? It's not like I need to go to the Digital World now… Everything's fine there.'

As soon as they reached the door, both boys heard the phone ringing and Yamato quickly unlocked the door, as Takeru was anxious to get inside to answer it.

"Good! You're finally home!"

"Ken?"

"Yeah, it's me. Do you have your digi-vice?"

"It's in my hand."

"Okay, good. Call Koushiro and tell him and he'll instruct you on what to do from there. I'm going to look for him."

"'Him' who? 'Instruct' me on what? Ken?!"

But it was too late; Ken had already hung up.

Sighing, irritated, he quickly dialed the redhead's number. "Koushiro, what the hell's going on?"

"Go to your computer, then to my site, and then hook your D-3 up to the net and download the program."

"What for?!"

"Do you want to just sit back and let police look for him? Or do you want to do it yourself and know you have a better chance of finding him than anyone else?"

Takeru's eyes went wide. "You mean I can track him with my D-3?!"

"Only if you download the program. Now hurry up!" Koushiro ordered.

"But what if he doesn't have his with him?" he asked worriedly.

"You know Daisuke; he's ready for anything." And with that, they both hung up and Takeru made a dash for the computer.

Meanwhile, Yamato was in his room on his cell phone, talking to Taichi.

"Are you going to help, too?"

"I can't. I really wish I could, but Hikari's really sick and I can't leave her here all alone," Taichi sighed. "If mom and dad get home before you guys find him, then I'll catch up with someone. I'm sorry."

"Take care of her, Taichi," Yamato said, and then hung up.

Ok, so not much going on in the Taito/Yamachi area yet, but this is posed to be a Daikeru/Takedai anyway. Tell me what you think!
