A/n: Sorry it took so long! FF.net wouldn't let me update! * grins* ALLO MY
FRIENDS THE NEXT CHAPTER IS HERE! The Takky angst is here....
Chapter 5: A Race against Time
" K-Koji!" Kumamon called at the top of his lugs, trying desperately to keep Takuya on the speeding beast of light, which wasn't easy with Kendogarurumon's sudden turns.
" What Tommy!" Koji yelled back, swerving to avoid hitting a large rock in the center of the path.
" Could you slow down a bit!"
"Why?"
Kendogarurumon swerved again, and this time Kumamon and Takuya almost fell off.
" THAT'S WHY! I CAN'T HANG ON THAT WELL!" He yelled, as loud as he could. Koji sighed and slowed down.
" Sorry Tommy, I just want to get to that village as soon as possible..."
The warrior of Ice nodded, " It's ok, I wanna save Takuya too."
Kendogarurumon, Kumamon, and Takuya had been ducking and dodging along that path for almost thirty minutes. Thankfully they had almost made it to the base of the mountain. A thought dawned on Koji as a gust blew at them. He and Tommy were using spirits to keep warm, but Takuya was in his human form and vulnerable to the icy winds.
Koji stopped in the middle of the path. Snow started to float down from the sky in tiny groups. Koji scowled, this is what he was afraid of.
"Tommy we'd better find a cave. Takuya won't be able to stay warm, if his clothes get wet."
Kumamon's eyes widened. " You mean we're going to leave him in a cave alone?!" the warrior of ice yelped. Kendogarurumon shook his head.
" No. You are going to wait with him. I'll move faster alone anyway. Nothing personal Kumamon."
The white bear grinned, " I see where your coming from Koji." Kumamon hopped of the beast of light, and started to walk away. " I'll go look around, be back in a sec!"
Kendogarurumon watched the warrior of ice disappear into the thick bushes, and sighed heavily. He gently laid Takuya on the ground and de- digivolved to Koji. The child of flame's face was still pale and sweat beads formed on his forehead. Koji touched Takuya's forehead lightly and sighed again.
"Please Takuya...Whatever you're facing isn't real" the child of light pleaded, pulling his hand away. " Don't kill yourself...I couldn't-"
" KOJI!"
Koji looked over into the bushes where Kumamon had disappeared only a few minutes ago. The white bear grinned brightly.
" I found a cave! It's big too!" Kumamon exclaimed, motioning for Koji to get up. " Hurry! The quicker we move him, the sooner you can get moving!"
The child of light nodded, slipping an arm under Takuya's knees and the other arm on the child of flame's back. Much to Koji's surprise, Takuya was really, very light. The child of flame's arm lay limp on his own lap, and his legs daggled loosely. Koji's eyes shifted to Takuya's face, and sorrow filled his heart. The wild brown hair stood out, against the whitish face. Takuya's eyes were still white and still vacant.
' Please....' Koji thought, gripping Takuya tighter as he walked over to Kumamon. 'Hold on Takuya... I'm going to move as fast as I can, be strong...'
+++
Takuya stared at the crackling fire, a hollow hole in his heart. In truth he should be happy. He wasn't poisoned, and he'd see his friends again, but dull pain in his chest made him feel alone. It'd just been a dream, Koji looking out for him, helping him, trying to comfort him...holding him. The child of flame sighed. Takuya pulled his knees to his chest and buried his face them.
" Takuya?" Tommy said questioningly, but Takuya didn't respond, he didn't want to talk to anyone. All Takuya wanted was to fall back to sleep and dream of his 'fantasy' Koji.
" Cut it out. " a cold voice snapped, Takuya lifted his gaze to see Koji glaring at him, an unreadable motion flashing in his eyes. "Just because I was right, doesn't mean you have to pout like a fucking five year old!"
Takuya's eyes widened, that was the first time he'd heard Koji swear so badly. Truly the words weren't that bad but Koji use to speak a certain way, that never required cuss words. He used a clam and forceful tone, that could make almost anyone stop and listed, but now his words were hard and cold. Takuya was about to counter, when he suddenly felt no need to. It started and ended the same. So what was the point? Takuya sighed and stood up.
" I haven't got the energy to argue with you again, " the child of flame responded, eyes half closed and dull. " I'm going to go for a walk. JP you take my meat apple. I don't want one right now..."
Tommy, JP, and Zoe looked at him in mild confusion and shock. Takuya turned slowly and began walking towards a path. The soft moonlight danced on the ground.
"Takuya!" Koji called again, Takuya looked back and much to his sorrow, Koji had stood up and was walking over to the goggle-head. Koji stared at Takuya, eyes still cold and full of hatred.
" We need to talk, NOW." Koji said making a huge emphasis on now. The loner shoved his hands into his pockets and walked away from the warm fire and the other children. Takuya followed after him slowly, eyes concentrating on the ground before him. 'Why is he doing this to me....'
+++
Kendogarurumon bounded over rocks and shrubs with ease. Not having extra weight on his back made moving less of a strain. Soon the path rose at an even slope and snow covered the ground in large mounds. Then Kendogarurumon stood at a fork in the rode. Koji frowned, he didn't know what path would lead him to the frozen village. He turned around and looked around for any other digimon. A SnowAgumon and a Gabumon were chucking snowballs at each other, a short distance from Koji.
"HEY! I NEED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!"
The two ice type digimon stopped and looked at him puzzled. The SnowAgumon nodded and walked over to Koji.
" You lost er somethin?" the lizard asked, green eyes staring straight into Kendogarurumon.
" Yea, could you tell me the way to the frozen village?"
The SnowAgumon looked at Koji in shock," W-why do ya wanna go there! Don't ya know that IceDevimon, live up there?"
Kendogarurumon cocked his head to the side, "Who is IceDevimon?"
The lizard digimon, shuddered, " He's one of da most evil digimon ever. He destroys digimon for fun. My Grandpappymon said dat he's imprisoned Ardermon within da heart of da village. " SnowAgumon hung his head, " Many brave digimon have tried to save her but IceDevimon destroyed all of them."
" Is this Ardermon, also called the Fire Angel?" Koji asked, he had to be sure that coming up to this mountain was a mistake. The SnowAgumon paused then nodded.
"Yea, but it ain't often that she's called that." The lizard Digimon narrowed his eyes at Koji. " What cha got against IceDevimon, he ain't been disturbed for ages and he hasn't left his village for dat long. What's so important not dat ya have to find him?"
Kendogarurumon sighed, " I don't have time to explain, could you please tell me what way it should go?"
The SnowAgumon snorted, and shook his head, " No, You're just going to make it hard on da rest of us." The digimon turned and started walking back to his friend. Koji glared at it and sighed.
"Even when I'm nice, people don't help me..." he sighed and started walking up the path on the right side, then he felt a furry paw on his shoulder. Koji glanced back and saw the Gabumon grinning at him.
" If you want to go to the frozen village you'll have to go the other way." It said with a toothy grin. " but even if you go that way you're going to get lost. There are many twists and turns on that road."
" Do you know any one who could lead me there. Just to the gates of the village is all I need." Kendogarurumon asked, turning to face the animal digimon.
" I could take you." the digimon replied, with a shrug. " I've been there before, and I'd be glad to take you."
Kendogarurumon's jaw hung wide open. " That would be great! Thank you!" Koji exclaimed. He and the ice digimon began to climb up the mountain, as they past SnowAgumon glared at Gabumon.
" Why are you helping me anyway? I mean, won't you get in trouble?"
Gabumon shrugged, " I may, but IceDevimon is a menses, and must be stopped." Kendogarurumon stared at the back of the digimon's head. " A long time ago, digimon came to our village for ice cream and ice skating, but when IceDevimon appeared, all of tourists stopped coming. Many of the digimon in my village have left, leaving only a few families."
" How do you know I'll defeat IceDevimon?"
Gabumon chuckled, " To be honest I don't know, you seem to have an attitude about you."
Kendogarurumon raised an eye brow," What do you mean an attitude?"
Gabumon shrugged, " You have confidence, and I think your fighting for a cause. No one would come up here to beat IceDevimon for no reason."
Kendogarurumon nodded, though the ice digimon couldn't see. Mentally Koji was cursing Venenomon. 'She was trying to kill my Takuya, and now I had to beat another bad digimon....wait a second, MY Takuya?!' Kendogarurumon's eyes widened. 'SHIT SHIT SHIT! Be quiet brain! Takuya doesn't like you that way!'
" Hey? You ok there?"
Koji blinked, Gabumon was looking at him funny. He suddenly realized that he now stood in front of a large ice covered gate, behind it lay what looked like a ghost town. Kendogarurumon nodded at Gabumon.
" I'm fine, Thanks. Now, you should get out of here before you get caught."
Gabumon grinned," Ok, Good luck Koji! GABUMON WARP DIGIVOLE TO METALGARURUMON!"
Kendogarurumon stared in shock as Metalgarurumon bounded way. " B-but how did you know my name?"
Metalgarurumon laughed, " Ophanimon called on me to show you the way. You'd better hurry!"
Kendogarurumon nodded, still slightly shocked. He pushed open the gate and galloped in. 'Alright IceDevimon, prepare to be Digitized!' +++
Koji stopped in front of a small lake, his head hung low and near his chest. Takuya sighed. The child of Flame wanted nothing more then to turn and run. It wasn't as if Koji had done anything to him...but it hurt to think it was all a dream.
" Takuya..." The child of flame looked up. " What the hell is your problem!" Koji yelled, eyes flashing. " Ever since you woke you've acting like a damn sissy!"
Takuya growled, but didn't said anything. Koji glared harder, and grabbed Takuya's collar, slamming him in to a tree, eyes burning with hatred. Sorrow filled Takuya's heart, Koji really hated him. Suddenly something snapped and Takuya no longer felt the need to live anymore, but even if Koji hated him, he was going to tell Koji the truth.
