Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Oh, and when I wrote this, a LOT of fluff was on mind...o_O Still don't own Wal*Mart...Or Gundam Wing.
Kouji stared down at his Takuya...He smiled at that...'My Takuya, though it won't be official unless he returns the feelings...' Kouji thought, then frowned upon it. He was never really afraid of anything...but ever since he entered the Digital World, he found himself afraid of many things. He was afraid people would get too close, try and get to know him. He was afraid to make friends, and when he did he was afraid he'd lose them, something he didn't want. Those other children meant more to him than so many other peopl, and he couldn't imagine losing any of them. Especially Takuya. That's what he feared now, that Takuya wouldn't return the feelings, and leave him, and go away. To lose Takuya as at least a friend...after all, Kouji could control his emotions, over the night he gotten better at it. 'Heh, and they say nothing comes to you overnight.' Kouji chuckled lightly at this. Somehow he managed to keep his blushes in check now, and keep the occasional urge to just hold Takuya in his arms, forever, enjoying just the mere presence of the other boy.
Kouji never liked, or loved before, that's why he wasn't really sure how to control those specific emotions. Anger, sorrow, jealousy, and so many others he had experienced, but love was something different altogether...'Wait, why do I keep repeating, love? I thought I just liked Takuya...Great...' Another fear of Kouji's came true, his fear of that special fonding of Takuya to grow to something more. Sure, he liked the feeling but...it hurt him seeing Takuya like this. The boy gave the occasional whimper, and tried to snuggle closer into Kouji's comforting arms, which always tightened around the brown-haired boy. Kouji just wanted the boy to feel safe and loved...
Sighing, the black-haired boy took his hand to Takuya's forehead, not where the slight grazed mark from Sagamon's attack, and noted the boy's fever went down considerably, but perhaps too much...His face was much paler, and he hasn't woken all day. Kouji frowned and finally decided it may be best to get something to eat and drink-for the both of them. But how?
Grinning with pleasure Nikuya made the final deal. Mercurymon would get the other two Chosen Children, and Renamon will distract Kouji while she nabbed Takuya. Her plan was perfect, except one flaw...One so small, they completely over-looked it. The irony though, was that the flaw was Bokomon and Neemon, the irony being Bokomon held Seraphimon's egg and you'd THINK the other Legendary Warriors would remember that, and try and PREVENT the DigiEgg from hatching. No matter though, what could two Digimon, one being good for research and the other rather...not smart, do to them? ((A/N: Unfortunately nothing. -_-' Heck they're still at the campsite...)) They three set out to do their work, and things were starting to not look too good for the Chosen Children of the Five (Or six, but I know nothing about Kouichi except he's Kouji's twin and is Duskmon...) Legendary Warriors...
He was running, running as fast as he could. Whatever evil was behind him, it scared him a lot. He tried to find more comfort and warmth, like he had many other times, but found none. The brown-haired boy let out a slight cry of defeat when he felt the darkness right behind him. The darkness was getting stronger and stronger by the moment, and Takuya gasped when dark arms encircled his waist, so cold, tainted, sad, and filled with death, after only a moments touch Takuya passed out. He felt everything that came before, but nothing after his nightmare went blank and empty, lost to unconciousness...
Grinning Kouji gathered some of the stream water. It had taken a few minutes, but the black-haired boy was rewarded in the end. He was glad he remembered to bring a thermis wherever he went, his father was always weird like that. He took his jacket off before filling the canister up, and smiled. The warmth of the forest was easy, and gentle. He wasn't hot, or cold, nor was his ponytail blown when the wind blew. It was perfect, well almost perfect, strange frog-like Digimon kept singing terribly, and Kouji had a sneaking suspesion they were doing it to destroy his hearing. 'Well it was almost too perfect, of course it's a trap!' With that thought, Kouji took off with his jacket and the thermis. The Numemon glanced at eachother.
"Was our singing THAT bad?" One asked. The others threw tomatoes at it. o_O'
Slowing to a walk, Kouji noticed that he was surrounded by several different kinds of edible vegetations. He saw bananas and eagerly grabbed one, and started peeling it. He sweat-dropped when he noticed it was nothing BUT peels...He had banana peels before, but this was the DigimonWorld, who knew what this banana peel tasted like...He eyed it suspicially for a few moments, as if trying to decide whether it wants to kill him or not..."I'm ono you, you banana-wannabe!" Kouji growled and tosses the peel away and gathered the other foods that you could eat. The banana peel sighed with relief.
"Phew...I almost blew my cover..." It said, then ran off to find Renamon, to tell her that it found Kouji. Suddenly it makes sense as to why Kouji's so suspicious of everything, because he sweat-dropped when he watched the nana make a break for it.
"I KNEW it!" He muttered. "It was just like the last time the basketball was threatening to expose Wal*Mart's secret of trying to take over the world and being led by that evil smiley-face!" He growled. o_O Ah, so something in Takuya's dream really was real...And it's been declared Kouji joined others in the conspiricies of the world...Finally having everything together, Kouji made his way back to the shack Takuya was at...
Mercurymon grinned at his now completed task. He had Izumi's, and Junpei's Beast and Human Spirits, rendering them helpless. Well, unless humans had some secret power...With that thought Mercurymon inched a little away from them, you never know...Scowling at his stupidity, he tied the two up. "They have no special powers other than transforming into Digimon, which they no longer can do!" Mercurymon said, getting rid of his uneasiness. Well, sure he was smart enough to take their Spirits, but something tells me he forgot about the D-Tector's. "Oh, and before I forget, I'll take those D-Tectors." He said, and grabbed Izumi and Junpei's D-Tectors. The weird ugly-girl from Takuya's dream and two earlier mentios, appeared out of nowhere.
"Are you reading my mind you infernal thing?!" It screamed. Mercurymon cringed at it's shreaking.
"No..." Mercurymon said, silently hoping this thing wasn't sent to torment him for peeking in on Renamon...
"ERK! x_x I didn't need to know that...And iie, I'm not sent to punish you, and to say, don't read my mind! No Good BYE!" It yelled, then dissappeared, while Mercurymon acted as if it never happened, and wondered why it had a head ache...((A/N: *Sobs * Why do they ignore me? Ah, oh well, I'd ignore myself too...)) Mercurymon now waited for Renamon's signal to join up with the two females.
"All I have to do, is go in, grab the boy, and leave before Kouji notices before I have enough time to get away from him..." Nikuya murmered, and tried opening the door. It was locked. Scowling, she suddenly wished she brought an extra key, evil smart Chosen Kid...Well, good smart Chosen kid...He was the Legendary Warrior or Light was he not? "Dang lock, I knew I should have broght an extra key!" She growled, fumbling with trying to unlock the lock...
Glaring at his foe, Lobomon tried to figure out the best way to take down this baka Warrior of Water. Renamon wasn't in her Beast form, claiming that sense she was near the stream, she had the higher advantage, and wanted a fair fight. Kouji/Lobomon had the sneaking suspiction she STILL couldn't control her Beast Spirit. Heh, they're gonna have to tell Takuya that later...Wait. Takuya? Lobomon's eyes widened and he ran towards the shack. Renamon was attacking him, and that banana peel was looking for him specificly, what if the other evil Legendary Warriors were attacking his currently mostly helpless Takuya? Hey, your almost helpless if your out cold with Spirits ya know.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" Renamon fumed with her heavy southern accent. Kouji didn't really understand why a Digimon talked like a southener in America, but then again, Renamon was just plain weird...Probably because she was surrounded by guys...? Kouji/Lobomon unwillingly shuddered, what if Izumi becomes like her? Scary thought...
"None of your business!" Lobomon called back, then returned to his human self. Kouji ran with much more ease, as Lobomon he was too tall and had to duck over as he ran, while as a human he was small enough to have to occasionally duck. A faster way to travel. He could here Renamon yelling at him to come back, but he ignored her for the most part. He had to get back to Takuya soon, he didn't know what might be there.
Finally after a long run Kouji got to the shack, to find one very agitated rabbit-human thing growling at the shack's lock. That couldn't be a Digimon...Or even a Legendary Warrior, what was it?
"Dang lock, I knew I should have broght an extra key!" It murmered. Kouji reconized that voice, and his blood boiled with rage. Would Nikuya ever leave him and Takuya alone?
"What are you doing here." Kouji growled, hated filling his eyes, for a very smart person, they would have ran like there's no tommorow. They would also have noticed this was meant as a question but came out as a statement because the person was so mad, and then high-tailed it out of there. Because Nikuya though, wasn't, she blinked.
"Huh?" She asked, then noticing it was Kouji she banged her head against the door. "No! Renamon was suppose to DISTRACT you, not make you come here sooner!" She growled in frusteration. Yet again, she didn't notice the look on Kouji's face that said what Heero from Gundam Wing always says, 'Omae o corosu'.
"Renamon is too busy complaining, I suggest you leave before I'm forced to make you, though I'd be grateful if you did..." Kouji said, currently imagining all the ways he could harm the thing...
"Why do you want to force me to leave?" Nikuya asked. Kouji sweat-dropped, obviously Nikuya was thick headed, which meant all the more painful torments wouldn't work...Darn it, he so wanted to make Nikuya scream out in agony as he ripped her apar slowly, piece by piece...
"Because your trying to hurt my Takuya, now LEAVE OR ELSE!" Kouji growled, slightly like a wolf, and Nikuya flinched aty the hate in his words. Never being one to give up without a fight though, Nikuya thought on what she was going to say for a change, and said something that hurt Kouji more than he could have ever hurt her.
"Your Takuya hmm? I don't think that's possible, as he can never share your feelings. Face it Kouji, the boy is nowhere near you pathetic self who only wishes to thrive off of his joy until he becomes like you." Nikuya said, with a very satisfied grin. Kouji glared.
"That's not even true, only Takuya can say what he feels first hand, and second I would never do anything to hurt him. I pity you though, you'll never feel love." Kouji spat out. Nikuya looked taken back, she really thought those words would hurt him...::Fine, he wants to do it his way, he can.::
"Fine Kouji, if you want to make me leave, then try me on for size. I'm not human nor Digimon, so as they say, expect the unexpected." Nikuya said with a grin, and Kouji Beast Spirit-evolved into Beowolfmon. Mercurymon and Renamon watched from nearby with amusement.
"So, who d'ya think will win?" Renamon asked, grinning.
"Thy thinks the winner will be Nikuya. She 'tis a rather unusual thing." Mercurymon said, returning to his normal speech. Hmm...perhaps he does that whole accent thing to impress Renamon...? Either that or he watched too many scary movies when we last checked on him...
Meanwhile, Takuya moaned and woke up a little. He caught a few words between Nikuya and Kouji, and his eyes widened at their conversation. 'Could, could Kouji like me as I do him? Ah!' Takuya winced as he thought, his head ached again, and he was getting colder and colder. It felt like two arms made of ice were wrapped around his waist. He shivered ashis eyes rolled back and then went to normal. 'What the? Whats wrong with me?' Takuya thought, and whimpered. Kouji was nowhere to be seen, except outside, and as it seemed Kouji just Beast Spirit-evolved. From how the sounds of battle were going on outside, it seemed the lady (Nikuya, Takuya doesn't know who she is yet) was winning. A few moments later all was silent. Then...
"Oh, back to your human self so soon?" Nikuya cooed. Kouji winced from pain and glared up at her. Somehow, she had defeated him. He tried to replay the fight in his head, but everything went so fast, or more accurately, NIKUYA went so fast...she was like a rabbit...Well, really, she even looked like a half one. She had the black ears, fluffy tail poking out of her jeans, the eyes, and even extremely long legs that resembled much of that of a rabbits, she even had the hop when she walked. Wait...That was it...Didn't wolves eat rabbits? A cruel thought came to his mind, but left when Nikuya grabbed him by the throat.
"What?" Kouji growled, and Nikuya stuck her hand into his pockets, searching for the key.
"Hmph, you were such an easy feat, even easier than Sagamon, Phamon, and Arcanymon." Nikuya said shrugging. Kouji's eyes widened. This...this...this thing, had destroyed Sagamon? His only chance at helping Takuya...?
"You WHAT?!" Kouji growled, but cringed as he felt his wounds scream in pain as he moved so quickly.
"Got rid of them, poof, GONE." Nikuya said flatly, and grinned holding up her key to the shack. "Now excuse me, I have a boy to kidnap." She said grinning evily and tosses Kouji on the ground who glared at her. But he was so beat from their fight, he couldn't really do anything but glare.
Takuya heard this, and whimpered. Usually he wasn't this easily scared, but his best friend, if Kouji even considered him a friend, was defeated by some evil lady, who was coming after him while he felt so weak. A lot of people would be slightly scared if they were in a similar predicament, but Takuya still felt slightly ashamed for all the fears he's been getting lately. The door unlocked, and the rabbit-lady walked in, although she had to duck. Looking down at him she grinned this evil smile that made Takuya shudder.
"Aww, are you scared of me?" She asked in a pity-like voice, but he could sense the mockery in it.
"It's rather hard to be afraid of an usagi you know." He said calmly, though he was scared out of his wits. Nikuya obviously knew this because she flashed him a large smile.
"Haven't recieved such a nice compliment in awhile." She replied, and tossed Takuya over her back. "Now hold still hun, we don't want you to get hurt anymore now do we?" She said, and made her way out. Takuya growled at her, but then when she stood completely tall, as she was crouching over in the shack, Takuya was hit with a tsunami of dizziness and moaned lightly and closed his eyes. Everything around him was even colder, and it was spinning so dang fast...
Kouji wasn't about to let that rabbit, Nikuya, to take off with Takuya. Heck, he wouldn't even let ANYONE take off with Takuya against his will. Not mention much to Kouji's great unfortune, Takuya looked even paler and much like he coughed up more blood, or was doing that at the time. This was because a lot of blood just spilled down Nikuya's back, who didn't seem to care.
"Renamon, Mercurymon, have the other Children?" Nikuya asked, and Renamon and Mercurymon came out of their hiding spot mumbling something incoherent.
"Yes ma'am..." Renamon mumbled and Mercurymon said nothing.
"Good. Take me to them then." Nikuya said, but then yelped as something large bit her on the leg-HARD! Her first instinct was the fling it off her leg, which she did. But whatever was biting, had it's teeth deep in her leg, so deep it touched her bone...Therefore, when she DID manage to fling it off, she had a good deal of skin and some muscle missing, and was bleeding pretty bad. "What was that?!" She growled as things got a bit blurry from the bloodloss. Renamon, seeing this done to Nikuya and not wanting to be next nor aid the thing, took off with Mercurymon grinning at Nikuya's pain before quickly following.
"Nikuya, I'm surprised you didn't expect that..." A familiar voice said...
A/N: Oh my gosh! It's almost finished! *Does one very happy dance * Heck, if I finish it tommorow, then on Friday I can put up a oneshot-song-fic as a good bye for the month of February! Then return in March with two new stories! *Starry-eyed * Isn't it perfect? A wee bit on the gory side I noticed, hope none of you minded that too much...heh, well have a great day/night!
