Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon; if I did, you would see this in Anime version, and the Dub music would be equivalent to the Japanese one. However, I DO own the program with which this is being written...
Note: All characters, that is, Zoe and Takuya,
are both aged 17.
This is a Takuya x Zoe/Izumi Fiction. If it bothers you, don't read it. Easy,
ne? =p
Wakumon: In the previous chapter, Zoe phoned Takuya stating that she
had been raped by her ex-boyfriend who was cheating on her. Takuya, still half-asleep,
boarded a plane to Italy, and tried to find his way towards Zoe. MZ also stated
that the ending would be a tearful one, and I am an invented Digimon - picture
a Calumon and inverse his colours. Ain't I cute? On to Part 2 of Distant Touch!!
----------------------------------------
Running down the streets of Rome, Takuya finally managed to find a tourist information booth.
'Please, can you direct me to this address?'
The receptionist nodded, and Takuya pulled out Zoe's address...
'68, Via dei Petali, Roma, Italia... you're not far from there young man. Go to the left from here, then, you'll reach a crossroads. Head to the left again, and you'll arrive in 'Via dei Petali'. From there, you should be able to find house number 68.'
'Arigatou.. thanks...'
Takuya set off, running as fast as those many times in the Digital World when they were fighting someone. Left... left... ah, here he was. Running down the road, Takuya soon spotted house number 68...
'Zoe!!'
The door was open, and Takuya didn't bother to ring the bell as he ran inside, looking for Zoe. Had he had the chance of looking around the house, he would've found it quite interesting - the structure was very different from most houses in Japan... suddenly, he saw Zoe lying down on her bed, in a pool of blood.
'Oh my god... Zoe... snap out of it...'
Her eyes remained closed, and Takuya panicked. He quickly picked up the phone, and called the operator, who's number was on a sticker stuck on the base of the phone.
'Pronto, come posso assistervi?
'Hi.. um.. I don't speak Italian... I need an ambulance, it's an emergency...'
'Oh, you're in luck, I understand Japanese. I'll phone an ambulance for you.
Where do you want it?'
Takuya quickly gave them Zoe's address, and impatiently, he started to wait for the ambulance. A few minutes later, he heard the siren, and some people rushed in.
'Cos'ha la ragazza?'
Takuya couldn't speak, he was so scared of what was going on... Are they blaming me for this?
A sudden voice spoke up, 'Lui... é il mio ragazzo. Aiutetemi...'
Takuya whirled around to see Zoe speaking, then she fainted again.
'Venite con noi...'
The doctors quickly lifted Zoe onto a stretcher into the ambulance, where Takuya
followed.
----------------------------------------
Several hours passed, and finally, a nurse came out in the waiting room, and beckoned Takuya. He didn't need a translator to know what she meant. He could go in, and he did so, rushing to Zoe...
'Takuya...'
Takuya saw Zoe, with a bandaged arm, smiling and walking towards him. '
'Zoe? What... are you feeling...
better?'
'Yup. All thanks to you... but... when did you come here?'
'As soon as you phoned... I rushed here...'
Nothing was spoken between the two, as Takuya took Zoe back to her house, with her directions. Reaching there, she quickly took a glass of water, and busied around while cooking something.
'Shouldn't you be resting?'
'That's what I should say to you! After all that time on the plane, then, all
this excitement... you should be sleeping Takuya!'
Is it possible that I'm wrong? Does she feel something too?
'Zoe... I wanted to tell you...'
Zoe stopped, and looked at Takuya
straight in the eye.
'What?'
'...I'm so sorry for what happened... Zoe... I...'
Why can't I say it?! Why!?'
'What is it?'
'Will you go out with me?'
'...Takuya?'
'It's OK... I understand if you... you know... don't feel like it...'
'Actually... Takuya, ti amo...'
'Wha?'
'I love you.'
'Me too...'
For many many people, their declaration of love would have resulted in the very first kiss, or sleeping or something. However, for Takuya and Zoe, their declaration wasn't a big surprise - it seemed like each of them knew it was going to happen...
----------------------------------------
They had gone to sleep, however, each of them understood that they could not sleep together. Zoe was still traumatized by what had just happened; even if she didn't show it, Takuya could feel it. While she slept in her room, Takuya settled down in the guest room.
However they tried, none of them could sleep, especially Zoe, who was still touched by Takuya's sudden affection
'He's so brave... coming here... just to see if I was OK... who else would've done that for anyone? I wonder for how long he loved me before this... and I wonder if our relationship can work out... after all, he won't be staying here forever... I'm sure of that. But... if we love each other... it should work... I hope.'
When Zoe finally woke up, she was greeted by the smell of something in the kitchen, 'Did Takuya burn something?' Before she actually went to see what was going on, Takuya brought her a tray, filled with the most delicious things - pizza... burgers... toast... everything, including a glass of water.
'Food for you, my love.'
'Oh Takuya... thanks... it smells wonderful,' she replied, although she looked
dubious at the burger.
Takuya didn't seem to notice, and
he just smiled at her. Bravely, or so she thought, she started to eat her food,
and to her surprise, it was all so delicious.
'Where'd you learn to cook so well?'
'I dunno... but I'm glad you like it...'
Conversations like these, with occasional
blushes from both sides were quite frequent in that half-hour, until at last,
Zoe suggested that they should go for a walk.
'There's this beautiful view, Takuya...'
'Sure. Let's get ready and go, k?'
'I love you, Takuya.'
'Yeah, me too, Zoe...'
Thanks for your reviews!! I'm using the Dub name... Zoe... just for... actually, I dunno... anyway, hoped you liked the cute chapter I just wrote - I should get the third Chapter up soon, k? It'll also be the last one, so prepare for a tearful ending.
Wakumon: Coming up next, the final chapter! Zoe and Takuya go out for a romantic walk, however, it's not as romantic as they expected! Shadows that had slept for seven years reawaken, and they learn that distance doesn't matter where there it love. However, the distance that they have to face isn't of Italy and Japan... Discover the end, in Part 3 of Distant Touch!
Back to me, MZ... review/flame this chapter so I can see exactly what to do in the ending. I'm gonna finish it according to the reviews I get, however, the main story-line is already written, so I'll just modify it abit XD. Thanks!
