Enters Takuya!! Hehe, the third chapter to Wintry Death. Yay me!! I had a sudden inspiration to write it. ^^ Plus I changed the first and second chapter a bit so if you already read those, it might be a bit wise to just scan them again. I don't think I changed it much but I added in some stuff, took out some stuff. So yea…. Don't forget to review. ^^

Disclaimer: Digimon isn't mines. If it was, I'd have a digi-thon, don't you agree with me? Wouldn't you like a digi-thon too?

"Oh now, don't worry Takuya...this won't hurt a bit. You will feel nothing after this..." a faceless man smirked at him.

"No, please no...Don't do this," a kid about 8 begged him. He struggled to get free from the ropes that bind his arms and foot.  Nothing happened. The man advanced towards the brown haired boy.

"Don't worry..." he repeated, "You will...not feel a thing..." He went up to the boy and placed his hands to hover above the place where Takuya's ear is.

"No…No!! Please!!" Takuya's plead became more desperate. Someone behind him held him still. The ropes cut into his wrist and ankles, making them bleed. So much pain...

The faceless man concentrated, a white sparkle of light appeared from his hand and connected to the boy's head. It felt like a needle was being inserted into him. He squirmed trying to get away. No go. Then the needle felt like a rock...boulder was hitting him on his head, over and over. He started to scream in pain. It was just too much. It felt like someone was smashing his head to pieces. The faceless man showed nothing but continue it. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The screams of the boy can be heard echoing for miles around...

Takuya woke up with a start. It was that dream again. What was that? Who is the faceless man? So much pain…He shuddered inwardly as he wiped the sweat from his brows with his shirt. Beside him perched on a branch, a hawk unfurled her wing as she woke up from her sleep. She gave a small hawk yawn and looked at him. Around him, his blanket is ruffled from him tossing and turning. He rubbed the dust out of his eyes that the morning wind had blown into him. In the process, he pulled some leaves out of his hair too. He looked at the hawk, "I know I always say this, Yuki, but sleeping on the ground hurts...especially on a rock." He winced as he rubbed a sore spot.

Yuki tilted her head in a hawkish way, 'And I know I always say this, but it's your own fault that you didn't search the ground good enough.'

"Well..." he glared at her, knowing he was beat since they have had this conversation many times before. It's just like running around in circles. They never get anywhere. He got up and started to pack his things. "Could you find me a stream please?" he asked Yuki without looking at her.

'Of course,' she replied in his mind before flying off.

A couple minutes later, he finished packing his stuff when Yuki said into his mind, 'I found a stream not to far from where you're at.' He closed his eyes for a moment to see through her eyes. A stream, looking nice and cool, raced down the rocky banks. It looks really tasty. Takuya finally noticed how thirsty he was.

'Looks good to me,' the brown hair boy replied back through their link. He open his eyes only to see that a deer and its fawn had came into the clearing and was watching him curiously. He smiled at them, "Hi."

The deer just looked at him and then silently walked away with it's fawn in tow. He picked up his pack and started to move in the direction that Yuki went in. He knew she was waiting for him at the stream. He followed their connection. It was as strong as the trees roots that held in the ground. Twenty minutes later, he knew she was just a head.

He crept closer, hoping to surprise her but then he felt something making him stop in horror. It was like a small tug in the depths of his heart. He gasps and broke into a run. This was a new feeling for him but he knew immediately that something had happen to Yuki. It was like someone had their hand around his heart and was squeezing it. He ran faster willing for him to be by her side. Someone was hurting her and they are going to pay. He didn't care if he left a trail by his running as long.... as...he.... gets to.... her...in time....

The bright sunlight hit him in the face hard as he broke the tree line and emerges onto the banks of the stream. He was blinded momentarily. Takuya blinked out the spots and looked around frantically for Yuki. There! He spotted her, lying on the forest ground unconscious. He ran to her and scooped her up into his arms. Behind him he heard a twig snapped the brown hair boy turned around, angry, ready to beat them up. Only, he saw darkness instead. And knew nothing else.
