~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nao shook her head disappointedly. Tears began to forn in her brown eyes. "After the last two years, I thouight I could forget you..."
Kouji looked at her, and he suddenly discovered the memory he had surpressed.

*flashback*


Twelve year old Minamoto Kouji ran towards the park that afternoon to meet his best friend Aogiri Nao. He was wearing his baggy black pants and short black shirt with his bandana. This was going to be a great day to hang out and cause troble. The sun was out and te weather was not too cold or too hot. It was just right.
He smiled as her ran.

She was already there wearing the usual dark blue outfit. Her shirt had sleeves two inches past her shoulders and cuffed pants. She greeted him with the usual smile and hug.

" I hope nothing goes wrong, anf nothing changed..." he thought. " I don't know what I'd do."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was around nine when they stopped by the river. The two rebels sat down by the water and rested.

" That was great!" Nao said, stretching her arms. " That was some funny shit back there!!!"

Kouji laughed. " I know! Picking a fight with that guy and trashing his car.. Not to mention acting drunk and getting chased by the cops!"

Nao was staring at the sky, trying to think. " Kouji-kun, we're supposed to be honest right?"he said softly.

" Yah." he answered and looked at her quizically.

" Ummm.. I odn't know how to say this... but ummm.... I... love you.... I've had these feelings for you for a while now. I made myself beleive it was a crush, but it wasn't." she stuttered.

Kouji didn't say anything. He was shocked and angry she hadn't told him sooner.

" Nao-chan... " he said coldy looking at the ground. " You knew I couldn't trust anyone but you... but- I can't love. Minamoto Kouji cannot love. He can only cause pain to anyone he cares for..." he stated.


Those words hit Nin her heart. She started screaming curses at Kouji for being cold about it. A week later, his father decided to move. That was why she told him. She knew. That was why he had become a distant and antisocial person. He didn't want to hurt someone he cared about.


*end flashback*

" Nao-chan..." Kouji sank to his feet and hugged the crying girl. " I meant to come back..." he said with tears streaming down his cheeks.

" Kouji-kun.... atashi.... I still love you..." she said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Minamoto Kouji awoke with a jump. Tomoki, Takuya, Junpei, and Izumi were already up. It was the first time he overslept in the Digital World. He sat there staring at the ground.

" Nao-chan... It was a yume... boku wa..." he said.

" HIYA YOU SLEEPYHEAD!!!" cried Neemon.

" BAKA!!! YOU ARE SO DENSE!!!" Bokomon said as he used his book to slap Neemon and attacked him with his painful snapping attack. ( a/n- i dont know what its called)

Kouji glanced at the group. It was a curious sight. They were all crowded around a dark figure. Junpei seemed to be enjoying it with Takuya elbowing him with a smirk. Tomoki was talking to the person, along with Izumi. Kouji moved to the side and stared in shock.

It was Aogiri Nao!
