Chapter 7: Takuya's Fears and Kouji's Fight
" Start talking Kanbara, I'm listening." Koji snapped. Takuya took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
" Koji...I-I t-t-think t-that" Takuya stuttered out, hands clenched at his sides. " I-I-I-"
"Spit it out Takuya!" Koji ordered. The child of light stood arms crossed over his chest, glaring hard at Takuya.
" IthinkIlikeyou."
Koji looked at Takuya with his eyes half open and brow cocked up. "Say it in English, dimwit...."
Takuya took in a slow and deep breath. " I think I like you...Like how a guy is suppose to feel about a girl..."
Koji's eyes were wide with shock he dropped his hands to his sides. Takuya watched him nervously. Koji's eyes narrowed as he took two quick steps so that he stood inches from Takuya.
"You sick Bastard," He breathed, as he brought his hand back, then punched Takuya in the gut. The Child of flame's eyes widened and he dropped to his knees, coughing.
" You stay the hell away from me, faggot..." Koji hissed dangerously, then walked back to camp. Takuya had one hand around his stomach and the other digging his fingers into the ground. Tears fell from his brown eyes, and splashed on to the ground.
He cried for a little longer then sat up. He leaned against a tree and looked at the sky. The three moons hung in the sky, casting a light on to the forest. Takuya wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up slowly. He turned and started walking back to the camp. As he got closer he heard a hushed conversation.
"You're kidding me..." Zoe's voice hissed. "Takuya's gay?! That's so sick! We can't have him traveling around with us!"
Takuya winced then he heard JP.
"I'm with Zoe, we should just leave him here and travel on our own. I mean, it's not that big of a loss if we leave him behind..."
The Child of flame sunk to the ground, fighting back tears, and he finally heard Tommy's voice. "I'm glad we're going to leave him, I never liked him that much either."
Something snapped in Takuya's mind. He shot up off the ground and ran. He heard the others gasp, but he didn't turn and face them. They hated him. What was the point? Takuya ran deeper and deeper into the forest, his tears leaving a trail in his wake...

"Koji...." a voice called from far away. The raven-haired boy groaned and rolled over, on to his side. He didn't want to wake up, he was having such a good dream.
" KOJI WAKE UP!" Someone yelled at him. Koji shot up and looked around wildly. Tenchi stood in the hallway, hands on her hips.
"Man oh Man I swear you sleep like a log...."
Koji got up from the cot and walked over to the bars of his cell. His fingers wrapped around the cold steel and he peered through. A few of the bars on Tenchi's cell were missing and lay on the ground.
"How did you do that?" Koji asked her, eyes still on the bars. Tenchi walked over to his cell and stared running her fingers around a few of the poles.
"These bars aren't very strong. Try pushing on these ones." She said, pointing at two bars at the far end. Koji stood up and kicked at the bars, after a few good whacks both bars gave way, and Koji stepped out. He noticed that the two of them were almost the same size, except that Koji was a little bit taller.
"Why are we breaking out of here?" Koji asked, as Tenchi started walking down the hall.
"Because, you need the element of surprise. " She replied, glancing over her shoulder at him. "Come on are you gonna stay there all day?"
Koji frowned and ran to catch up with her. 'She reminds me of him...' Koji thought, as Tenchi pushed the door open. 'I don't even know why though...'
They climbed the stairs quietly, Koji in front and Tenchi a few steps behind him. Koji glanced over his shoulder at her, Tenchi was looking down at the steps carefully stepping on each one.
"Tenchi?" She looked up to meet his eyes. "Why are you coming with me? It's not like you can help me fight, you'll just be in the way."
The brown-haired girl grinned widely. "Come on Ko-ji! I want to help I know a few tricks."
The child of Light stared at her in disbelieve. She was like Takuya's twin sister, or at least she acted like him. Koji narrowed his eyes.
"Are you human?"
Tenchi shrugged, as if she'd been asked that question before. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not, frankly I really don't know."
Koji glared at her, shook his head, thinking she was saying that only to confuse him. Koji looked back up the hall way. They walked in silence for the rest of the climb. When the came to the top, they heard voices through a moldy old door.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE IS!" IceDevimon's voice boomed loudly, and echoed loudly off the walls of the corridor that Koji and Tenchi were standing in. The child of light could have sworn that he and the girl beside him would have heard that in their cells if they hadn't escaped.
"THERE IS NOT WAY IN THE DIGITAL WORLD THAT A HUMAN COULD BECOME A DIGIMON!" IceDevimon yelled again.
Tenchi snickered, "I think his pissed off that you almost beat him."
Koji glared at her.
"I didn't almost beat him." He snapped, and she shrugged, still grinning in his direction.
" You'd better Spirit Evolve now. " She cautioned, looking at the door. "You've got the advantage so make it count."
"What are you? My soccer coach?" Koji hissed, as he pulled out his Detector.
"EXECUTE! BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION! KENDOGARURUMON!"

Alamon flapped her wings and rose up into a dark castle. She landed lightly on the highest balcony, and walked through open windows. She entered a small room, there was a darkened cell in the corner, a wardrobe cabinet stood near the door, and a small barrel was in the other corner.
"Venenomon?" The bat-like digimon called. "Venenomon Where are you?"
"Stop your yelling." The poisoned digimon snapped. "I'm right here."
"Good because I lost track of th-" Alamon stopped when she saw Takuya, lying on a cot in the small cell. She raised a brow at Venenomon who sat in a chair, her nose in a book.
"Why did you bring him here?" Alamon asked furiously, eyes narrowed.
"Because," Venenomon replied, not looking up from her book. " Instead of letting him kill himself, we're going to use his body to destroy his friends."
Alamon continued to glare, unconvinced. Venenomon sensed her stare at set the book down and looked at the bat digimon. "Tell me how we're going to make him kill the other children!" She demanded.
Venenomon's smile widened.
"He is going to freely sacrifice his soul to the spirits of flame. He'll be just like a puppet."
".and just how do you know he'll do it?" Alamon asked, twitching her tail in an irritated fashion.
"I know what his nightmare is, and actually it's quite shocking. He has two fears at equal placing." Venenomon smiled darkly as she continued. "And he's going to face them both, one after another. They'll kill his will to live, and the lovely Venenomon will tell him of a way to make the spirits stronger for the next person to use them."
Alamon rolled her eyes. "That isn't going to work!"
Venenomon frowned, "Why not?!"
"Because, the spirit of flame will not destroy its partner!" Alamon argued, stomping her foot on the floor in anger. "Plus the spirit of flame would just return to Ophanimon wouldn't it?"
Venenomon shook her head. "If the vessel of a spirit offers it's soul to the spirit, the spirit must obey and take it." Venenomon paused, and picked up her book.
"Once a spirit is given to a human, Ophanimon has little control over it, so in theory the spirit will remain in our castle."
Alamon growled.
"How are we going to get the spirits from the other children?"
Venenomon shrugged, "We'll deal with that when the time comes."
Alamon shook her head but didn't argue. The bat-like digimon, walked out of the room and started down the long spiral staircase.
~Venenomon...you've screwed us over badly, the master won't be pleased with your trickery." Alamon let out a huff and glared at the ground, as if it was the cause of the problem.
"Our job was to retrieve the spirits, and nothing more. You're going to get us both killed...especially once the chosen children have figured out what's going on!"

~Can you call moonlight silver...When it casts the world in blue...?" A brunette with goggles thought, staring up at the sky, his face tear stained and dirty from running through the underbrush of the forest. His heart was cracked and bleeding, and nothing seemed to dull the pain. The world around him seemed to move in slow motion as he walked along a dirt path. It had been what seemed to be days, since Takuya had told Koji his true feelings about him. Takuya couldn't remember the sun rising the morning after he'd ran from the other children, and he couldn't remember where he slept on the second night, but he did remember the look of disgust on Koji's face. Sorrow flashed through him remembering the words of his other 'friends'.
"Can one really call them friends...if they don't take you for what you are?" Takuya asked dully to the three moons. Tears formed in his eyes, they hated him, but he still had his duty to help Ophanimon. So for that he wouldn't fall over and cry, his eyes out.
"As a legendary warrior, I'm entitled to save this world from Cherubim- "
A high pitched screamed ribbed through the air, shattering the silence of the forest. Takuya froze for a moment before sprinting, into the bushes. Whoever was screaming needed his help. A second scream broke the silence again, this one deeper then the first. Takuya pushed himself to move faster, and vowed to make whatever was attacking the owners of those screams pay for what they'd done. A third scream echoed through the forest, this one sounded more famine then the first two.
"HOLD ON I'M COMING!" Takuya yelled, even though he knew whoever was screaming couldn't hear them. The child of flame swerved on a hard right and jumped into a clearing. His eyes widened and his stomach dropped. Red blood was splattered all over the ground and three bodies lay on the ground. Tommy's hat lay beside him, soaked in the red liquid, Zoe was a few feet away, a huge stab mark in her chest, and JP lay alone, farthest away from the others.From where Takuya stood he could see that JP's left arm hung at an awkward angle and a pile of blood pooled under his head.
The child of flame stepped back, horror and fear welling in his eyes and gut.Where was Koji? Was the thing that did this to Tommy chasing the raven haired boy now?
Suddenly Kendogarurumon burst through the underbrush, soon followed by Gigusmon. The legendary warrior of Earth spun himself, and struck Kendogarurumon hard in the back. The beast of light's fractal code appeared and Gigusmon grabbed Koji's beast spirit, and his human spirit. The raven- haired boy fell, and tried to stand up. The Warrior of Earth grabbed Koji's collar holding him high off the ground below.
"KOJI!" Takuya yelled running over to him, groping for his Detector, but before he could pull it out he heard the child of light call to him.
"Takuya....Stay away..." Koji gasped out. "I don't need your fucking help."
"But....You'll die if I don't help!" Takuya yelled, hand still around his Detector.
"I'd rather die...then be saved by a...Faggot..." Koji hissed out again, venom in his words. Takuya frozen, his heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and only one could replace them...the one who was going to die before Takuya's very own sad brown eyes....

A/N Well That's the end of that chapter..... did you like it?...JUST KIDDING! Heehee I've still got 5 more pages to do!
"WHAT IS THIS!" IceDevimon screeched, standing up from his throne. Kendogarurumon smashed through the wooden door and skipped to a halt in front of the demon angel.
"Well IceDevimon, You want to know what I am?" Kendogarurumon growled. "I'm the legendary warrior of light, and I'm fighting to save two people, Ardermon and Takuya!"
A group of SnowGoburimon charged at the beast of light. Kendogarurumon's eyes suddenly glowed with a white light.
"Lupine Laser." Koji shot a huge blast at the approaching goblins in blue. A roar of screams filled the air, when the smoke cleared, Kendogarurumon walked slowly towards IceDevimon. The Ice type digimon glared and held up his hand, preparing for an attack.
"ICY SHOWER!"
Kendogarurumon's body flew into the air, high over the maelstrom of icy shards. The wolfish digimon growled in a low, dangerous tone and dived.
"LUPINE LASER!" Kendogarurumon howled, firing the blast of light at IceDevimon's head. The demon angel staggered backward and slammed into his throne. He raised his horned head up his eyes meeting two pale yellow ones. Kendogarurumon had one forepaw on IceDevimon's chest, and the other on his arm.
"You are going to pay for all the pain and suffering you caused " Koji vowed, bearing his teeth. IceDevimon's red eyes widened in fear. The demon used his other arm to punch Koji hard in the jaw. The wolf digimon was pushed backward, as IceDevimon rose into the air.
"I'll pay for nothing!" The demon yelled. "For you won't live beyond this hour! ICY SHOWER!"
Kendogarurumon didn't move. He just continued to glare up at IceDevimon with pure hatred and anger.
" KENDOGARURUMON! MOVE DARN IT!" Tenchi screeched from the door, she watched in horror as a swarm of ice shot at the beast of light. Huge chunks of the floor shot in awkward directions as the ice slammed into the ground. When the ice shards stopped beating down, an icy cloud fell around the area.
"KOJI!" Tenchi screamed falling to her knees, laying in the center was Kendogarurumon. The beast of light lay frozen, in a block of ice. IceDevimon cackled and looked over at Tenchi.
"Well, Well Tenchi, "He sneered. "Another digimon dies for you, and yet..." IceDevimon smiled darkly, landing a few feet from Koji. "You're the one who lead him to me..."
Tenchi's mouth opened and closed, rage burning in her eyes. She let out a cry of anger. Two bright orange wings appeared from her back and spread wide. IceDevimon gasped.
"NO! YOUR MEMORY AND POWER SHOULD STILL BE FROZEN!" The Demon of Ice screamed. The two wings enveloped Tenchi and glowed a fiery red. Suddenly with a burst a wind, the wings opened and there stood the Fire Angel, Ardermon. She had long brown hair, with streaks of red and orange, and her bangs were tipped red. She wore a dark red kimono that fell to her toes. On the skirt part of the kimono, ancient writing lined the edges in gold, and a flame pattern rose up from the hem. The same fiery pattern came off the sleeves. Two green eyes glared at IceDevimon in anger, Ardermon held her hands up ready to fight.
"I am Ardermon, the angel from the fires of hell" the fire angel said. " You've wronged many and you shall pay for it with your life."
IceDevimon stared at Ardermon with wide eyes.
"You weren't suppose to awaken until someone of pure heart fought for someone other then you. The warrior of light fought for you and that oth-." The demon stopped and spun around to look at Kendogarurumon.
"Him.... HE IS OF PURE HEART!"
Ardermon smiled.
"Of course." She pulled a talisman from the sleeve of her kimono and flicked it at the block of ice the held Koji. As soon as the talisman touched the surface of the block, the ice melted away. Kendogarurumon crashed to the ground, but didn't rise.
IceDevimon smiled. "He's dead! Even you couldn't save him!" the Ice digimon laughed and walked over to the wolf digimon as if to prove it.
"Fool." Kendogarurumon shot up. "LUPINE LASER!"
The demon of ice was forced back into a wall. Kendogarurumon turned to Ardermon and nodded.
"I think it should be you to destroy him."
The Fire Angel nodded. She turned to face IceDevimon, her face held no emotion. IceDevimon moved back in fear.
"N-no. I'll do anything you want! I swear!" IceDevimon pleaded. Kendogarurumon glared and snorted.
"I don't think you can. You can't bring back all those digimon you destroyed, and in my case..." Kendogarurumon lowered his head.
"You can't turn back the hands of time!"
"FLAMES OF HADES!" Ardermon called, a huge flame appeared from her hand and wrapped around IceDevimon. He screamed in agony and pain as the fire swallowed him.
Suddenly the walls of the court room started to crack and give way. Kendogarurumon turned around looking for Tenchi. Ardermon smiled and flapped her wings.
"Come on Koji we've got to get out of here." Kendogarurumon looked at the angel with wide eyes.
"Tenchi?" He gasped, and she nodded.
" We'll talk when we get out of here." she mumbled, flapping her wings heading for the entrance gate. Kendogarurumon galloped after her, large chunks of the ceiling dropped in Koji's way as he dodged left and right.
~I've got to keep going...for Takuya..." Suddenly Koji felt a rush of energy and power coursing through his veins. He sprung off the ground and rose into the air.
Kendogarurumon glowed bright white and sped off. He shot right past Ardermon, who smiled and gave a great pulse of her wings. She followed Koji out into the crisp air.
+++
Gigasmon smiled darkly and looked over at Takuya. The child of Flame was having his world crumpling beneath him. Koji glared at Takuya with disgust, then turned his gaze to the warrior of earth. Takuya suddenly felt frozen, just like in a dream when you lose the ability to move freely.
Gigasmon lifted up his arm and slashed to the side, leaving a long gash in Koji's chest. The Child of light's eyes widened, and he gasped for breath. The warrior of earth slid his hand around Koji's neck and squeezed hard.
"KOJI!!" Takuya screamed, still unable to move. The brunette couldn't even close his eyes. Two dark blue orbs, looked into Takuya's brown ones and for the first time the child of flame saw fear in Koji's eyes. Gigasmon threw Koji to the ground, the child of light let out a yelp of pain and lay lifeless.
Takuya felt his feet move for him. The child of flame ran to Koji. Blood covered his chest and the lacerations on his neck were vivid. Koji's eyes fluttered open and looked at Takuya.
"T-Takuya..." The raven haired boy wheezed out, eyes dull and half open.
"I-It's up to you to save.... Ophanimon..."
Tears fell from Takuya's eyes as he dropped to his knees. Extreme sorrow and sadness filled his soul and mind.
"You've got to....save this world." Koji forced a smile. "I'm....sorry...Takuya...."
( A/n I know Koji's suppose to hate Takuya...but I can't let him die without a sorry. T.T)
Koji's eyes slid closed and his chest stopped rising. Takuya sat there for several seconds, frozen. Suddenly something in Takuya's chest tightened, it rose from his heart to his vocal cords, to his mouth. An agonizingly mournful scream, ripped though the air. Takuya felt something grab the back of his shirt and lift him up. Gigasmon smiled and began walking up the path to him without his knowledge. The warrior of Earth held Takuya over his shoulder, forcing the child of Flame to stare at the blood shed of his friends. Tears rolled down Takuya's cheeks, as if the sky felt his pain, drops of rain fell from the sky.
+++
Venenomon slowly carried Takuya's limp body down the spiral staircase. A dark and evil smiled spread over her green lips. Takuya's eyes were no longer white as snow, they were still open but were a dull brown, and lacked pupils.
"The time has come, my wild fire, you are going to meet the end of your life, and I..." The poison digimon chuckled, "and I will rule the digital world, with you as my pet."
+++
Koji skidded to a halt outside of the ice gates of the village, he spun around to see Ardermon glide up beside him. Kendogarurumon de-digievolved to Koji and he gasped for air. She smiled at him, and returned to Tenchi.
"Well.... THAT WAS FUN!" She squealed, bouncing. Koji shook his head, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's get walking, we've got a long way to go." Koji mumbled standing up. "You can explain a few things to my while we walk."
Koji stood and began walking with Tenchi close behind.
"Ok What do you want to know?"
"I want to know why you lied to me." Koji stated firmly." You told me you weren't a digimon.
Tenchi sighed, "I didn't know I was a digimon, IceDevimon froze my power and my memories. I guess the only time I was myself was when I was unconscious." She grinned widely.
"I talked to your friend, Takuya, before he entered his nightmare."
Koji's eyes widened and he looked back at Tenchi. She seemed to be recalling something, she glared at the ground before her and sighed.
"I remember what he was facing..."
Koji raised a brow at her, "What was it? Does it have something to do with his little brother?"
Tenchi shook her head. "No, Takuya's fear...Was your rejection to his feelings for you and...." She trailed off for a moment as if deciding weather to tell Koji or not. ".and you and your friends dying before him..."
Koji's gaze fell to the ground, Takuya liked him, the way he liked Takuya. Koji could have jumped for joy but the second part crushed his joyous spirit. Tenchi took in a sharp gasp. Koji looked back at her and saw a look of fear covering her features.
"What? What's wrong Tenchi." Koji asked gripping her shoulder.
"T-Takuya has faced his nightmares....he watched you die, Koji...." She whispered, breathlessly. "We've got to hurry!"
"Right!" Koji said grabbing his Detector.
"EXECUTE BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION! KENDOGARURUMON!" the wolfish digimon stood in the center of the path, glowing with a bright light.
"Get on my back Tenchi, We'll get to Takuya faster this way."
The young girl nodded and hopped on Kendogarurumon's back. They two practically flew through the mountain trails, and soon evergreen trees were around them. Then realization hit Koji like a rock, his heart beat increased.
"Do you know the other part of the cure?"
Tenchi nodded, "you've had it all along Koji. Loves Tear...."

Chapter 7: Takuya's Fears and Kouji's Fight
" Start talking Kanbara, I'm listening." Koji snapped. Takuya took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
" Koji...I-I t-t-think t-that" Takuya stuttered out, hands clenched at his sides. " I-I-I-"
"Spit it out Takuya!" Koji ordered. The child of light stood arms crossed over his chest, glaring hard at Takuya.
" IthinkIlikeyou."
Koji looked at Takuya with his eyes half open and brow cocked up. "Say it in English, dimwit...."
Takuya took in a slow and deep breath. " I think I like you...Like how a guy is suppose to feel about a girl..."
Koji's eyes were wide with shock he dropped his hands to his sides. Takuya watched him nervously. Koji's eyes narrowed as he took two quick steps so that he stood inches from Takuya.
"You sick Bastard," He breathed, as he brought his hand back, then punched Takuya in the gut. The Child of flame's eyes widened and he dropped to his knees, coughing.
" You stay the hell away from me, faggot..." Koji hissed dangerously, then walked back to camp. Takuya had one hand around his stomach and the other digging his fingers into the ground. Tears fell from his brown eyes, and splashed on to the ground.
He cried for a little longer then sat up. He leaned against a tree and looked at the sky. The three moons hung in the sky, casting a light on to the forest. Takuya wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up slowly. He turned and started walking back to the camp. As he got closer he heard a hushed conversation.
"You're kidding me..." Zoe's voice hissed. "Takuya's gay?! That's so sick! We can't have him traveling around with us!"
Takuya winced then he heard JP.
"I'm with Zoe, we should just leave him here and travel on our own. I mean, it's not that big of a loss if we leave him behind..."
The Child of flame sunk to the ground, fighting back tears, and he finally heard Tommy's voice. "I'm glad we're going to leave him, I never liked him that much either."
Something snapped in Takuya's mind. He shot up off the ground and ran. He heard the others gasp, but he didn't turn and face them. They hated him. What was the point? Takuya ran deeper and deeper into the forest, his tears leaving a trail in his wake...

"Koji...." a voice called from far away. The raven-haired boy groaned and rolled over, on to his side. He didn't want to wake up, he was having such a good dream.
" KOJI WAKE UP!" Someone yelled at him. Koji shot up and looked around wildly. Tenchi stood in the hallway, hands on her hips.
"Man oh Man I swear you sleep like a log...."
Koji got up from the cot and walked over to the bars of his cell. His fingers wrapped around the cold steel and he peered through. A few of the bars on Tenchi's cell were missing and lay on the ground.
"How did you do that?" Koji asked her, eyes still on the bars. Tenchi walked over to his cell and stared running her fingers around a few of the poles.
"These bars aren't very strong. Try pushing on these ones." She said, pointing at two bars at the far end. Koji stood up and kicked at the bars, after a few good whacks both bars gave way, and Koji stepped out. He noticed that the two of them were almost the same size, except that Koji was a little bit taller.
"Why are we breaking out of here?" Koji asked, as Tenchi started walking down the hall.
"Because, you need the element of surprise. " She replied, glancing over her shoulder at him. "Come on are you gonna stay there all day?"
Koji frowned and ran to catch up with her. 'She reminds me of him...' Koji thought, as Tenchi pushed the door open. 'I don't even know why though...'
They climbed the stairs quietly, Koji in front and Tenchi a few steps behind him. Koji glanced over his shoulder at her, Tenchi was looking down at the steps carefully stepping on each one.
"Tenchi?" She looked up to meet his eyes. "Why are you coming with me? It's not like you can help me fight, you'll just be in the way."
The brown-haired girl grinned widely. "Come on Ko-ji! I want to help I know a few tricks."
The child of Light stared at her in disbelieve. She was like Takuya's twin sister, or at least she acted like him. Koji narrowed his eyes.
"Are you human?"
Tenchi shrugged, as if she'd been asked that question before. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not, frankly I really don't know."
Koji glared at her, shook his head, thinking she was saying that only to confuse him. Koji looked back up the hall way. They walked in silence for the rest of the climb. When the came to the top, they heard voices through a moldy old door.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE IS!" IceDevimon's voice boomed loudly, and echoed loudly off the walls of the corridor that Koji and Tenchi were standing in. The child of light could have sworn that he and the girl beside him would have heard that in their cells if they hadn't escaped.
"THERE IS NOT WAY IN THE DIGITAL WORLD THAT A HUMAN COULD BECOME A DIGIMON!" IceDevimon yelled again.
Tenchi snickered, "I think his pissed off that you almost beat him."
Koji glared at her.
"I didn't almost beat him." He snapped, and she shrugged, still grinning in his direction.
" You'd better Spirit Evolve now. " She cautioned, looking at the door. "You've got the advantage so make it count."
"What are you? My soccer coach?" Koji hissed, as he pulled out his Detector.
"EXECUTE! BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION! KENDOGARURUMON!"

Alamon flapped her wings and rose up into a dark castle. She landed lightly on the highest balcony, and walked through open windows. She entered a small room, there was a darkened cell in the corner, a wardrobe cabinet stood near the door, and a small barrel was in the other corner.
"Venenomon?" The bat-like digimon called. "Venenomon Where are you?"
"Stop your yelling." The poisoned digimon snapped. "I'm right here."
"Good because I lost track of th-" Alamon stopped when she saw Takuya, lying on a cot in the small cell. She raised a brow at Venenomon who sat in a chair, her nose in a book.
"Why did you bring him here?" Alamon asked furiously, eyes narrowed.
"Because," Venenomon replied, not looking up from her book. " Instead of letting him kill himself, we're going to use his body to destroy his friends."
Alamon continued to glare, unconvinced. Venenomon sensed her stare at set the book down and looked at the bat digimon. "Tell me how we're going to make him kill the other children!" She demanded.
Venenomon's smile widened.
"He is going to freely sacrifice his soul to the spirits of flame. He'll be just like a puppet."
".and just how do you know he'll do it?" Alamon asked, twitching her tail in an irritated fashion.
"I know what his nightmare is, and actually it's quite shocking. He has two fears at equal placing." Venenomon smiled darkly as she continued. "And he's going to face them both, one after another. They'll kill his will to live, and the lovely Venenomon will tell him of a way to make the spirits stronger for the next person to use them."
Alamon rolled her eyes. "That isn't going to work!"
Venenomon frowned, "Why not?!"
"Because, the spirit of flame will not destroy its partner!" Alamon argued, stomping her foot on the floor in anger. "Plus the spirit of flame would just return to Ophanimon wouldn't it?"
Venenomon shook her head. "If the vessel of a spirit offers it's soul to the spirit, the spirit must obey and take it." Venenomon paused, and picked up her book.
"Once a spirit is given to a human, Ophanimon has little control over it, so in theory the spirit will remain in our castle."
Alamon growled.
"How are we going to get the spirits from the other children?"
Venenomon shrugged, "We'll deal with that when the time comes."
Alamon shook her head but didn't argue. The bat-like digimon, walked out of the room and started down the long spiral staircase.
~Venenomon...you've screwed us over badly, the master won't be pleased with your trickery." Alamon let out a huff and glared at the ground, as if it was the cause of the problem.
"Our job was to retrieve the spirits, and nothing more. You're going to get us both killed...especially once the chosen children have figured out what's going on!"

~Can you call moonlight silver...When it casts the world in blue...?" A brunette with goggles thought, staring up at the sky, his face tear stained and dirty from running through the underbrush of the forest. His heart was cracked and bleeding, and nothing seemed to dull the pain. The world around him seemed to move in slow motion as he walked along a dirt path. It had been what seemed to be days, since Takuya had told Koji his true feelings about him. Takuya couldn't remember the sun rising the morning after he'd ran from the other children, and he couldn't remember where he slept on the second night, but he did remember the look of disgust on Koji's face. Sorrow flashed through him remembering the words of his other 'friends'.
"Can one really call them friends...if they don't take you for what you are?" Takuya asked dully to the three moons. Tears formed in his eyes, they hated him, but he still had his duty to help Ophanimon. So for that he wouldn't fall over and cry, his eyes out.
"As a legendary warrior, I'm entitled to save this world from Cherubim- "
A high pitched screamed ribbed through the air, shattering the silence of the forest. Takuya froze for a moment before sprinting, into the bushes. Whoever was screaming needed his help. A second scream broke the silence again, this one deeper then the first. Takuya pushed himself to move faster, and vowed to make whatever was attacking the owners of those screams pay for what they'd done. A third scream echoed through the forest, this one sounded more famine then the first two.
"HOLD ON I'M COMING!" Takuya yelled, even though he knew whoever was screaming couldn't hear them. The child of flame swerved on a hard right and jumped into a clearing. His eyes widened and his stomach dropped. Red blood was splattered all over the ground and three bodies lay on the ground. Tommy's hat lay beside him, soaked in the red liquid, Zoe was a few feet away, a huge stab mark in her chest, and JP lay alone, farthest away from the others.From where Takuya stood he could see that JP's left arm hung at an awkward angle and a pile of blood pooled under his head.
The child of flame stepped back, horror and fear welling in his eyes and gut.Where was Koji? Was the thing that did this to Tommy chasing the raven haired boy now?
Suddenly Kendogarurumon burst through the underbrush, soon followed by Gigusmon. The legendary warrior of Earth spun himself, and struck Kendogarurumon hard in the back. The beast of light's fractal code appeared and Gigusmon grabbed Koji's beast spirit, and his human spirit. The raven- haired boy fell, and tried to stand up. The Warrior of Earth grabbed Koji's collar holding him high off the ground below.
"KOJI!" Takuya yelled running over to him, groping for his Detector, but before he could pull it out he heard the child of light call to him.
"Takuya....Stay away..." Koji gasped out. "I don't need your fucking help."
"But....You'll die if I don't help!" Takuya yelled, hand still around his Detector.
"I'd rather die...then be saved by a...Faggot..." Koji hissed out again, venom in his words. Takuya frozen, his heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and only one could replace them...the one who was going to die before Takuya's very own sad brown eyes....

A/N Well That's the end of that chapter..... did you like it?...JUST KIDDING! Heehee I've still got 5 more pages to do!
"WHAT IS THIS!" IceDevimon screeched, standing up from his throne. Kendogarurumon smashed through the wooden door and skipped to a halt in front of the demon angel.
"Well IceDevimon, You want to know what I am?" Kendogarurumon growled. "I'm the legendary warrior of light, and I'm fighting to save two people, Ardermon and Takuya!"
A group of SnowGoburimon charged at the beast of light. Kendogarurumon's eyes suddenly glowed with a white light.
"Lupine Laser." Koji shot a huge blast at the approaching goblins in blue. A roar of screams filled the air, when the smoke cleared, Kendogarurumon walked slowly towards IceDevimon. The Ice type digimon glared and held up his hand, preparing for an attack.
"ICY SHOWER!"
Kendogarurumon's body flew into the air, high over the maelstrom of icy shards. The wolfish digimon growled in a low, dangerous tone and dived.
"LUPINE LASER!" Kendogarurumon howled, firing the blast of light at IceDevimon's head. The demon angel staggered backward and slammed into his throne. He raised his horned head up his eyes meeting two pale yellow ones. Kendogarurumon had one forepaw on IceDevimon's chest, and the other on his arm.
"You are going to pay for all the pain and suffering you caused " Koji vowed, bearing his teeth. IceDevimon's red eyes widened in fear. The demon used his other arm to punch Koji hard in the jaw. The wolf digimon was pushed backward, as IceDevimon rose into the air.
"I'll pay for nothing!" The demon yelled. "For you won't live beyond this hour! ICY SHOWER!"
Kendogarurumon didn't move. He just continued to glare up at IceDevimon with pure hatred and anger.
" KENDOGARURUMON! MOVE DARN IT!" Tenchi screeched from the door, she watched in horror as a swarm of ice shot at the beast of light. Huge chunks of the floor shot in awkward directions as the ice slammed into the ground. When the ice shards stopped beating down, an icy cloud fell around the area.
"KOJI!" Tenchi screamed falling to her knees, laying in the center was Kendogarurumon. The beast of light lay frozen, in a block of ice. IceDevimon cackled and looked over at Tenchi.
"Well, Well Tenchi, "He sneered. "Another digimon dies for you, and yet..." IceDevimon smiled darkly, landing a few feet from Koji. "You're the one who lead him to me..."
Tenchi's mouth opened and closed, rage burning in her eyes. She let out a cry of anger. Two bright orange wings appeared from her back and spread wide. IceDevimon gasped.
"NO! YOUR MEMORY AND POWER SHOULD STILL BE FROZEN!" The Demon of Ice screamed. The two wings enveloped Tenchi and glowed a fiery red. Suddenly with a burst a wind, the wings opened and there stood the Fire Angel, Ardermon. She had long brown hair, with streaks of red and orange, and her bangs were tipped red. She wore a dark red kimono that fell to her toes. On the skirt part of the kimono, ancient writing lined the edges in gold, and a flame pattern rose up from the hem. The same fiery pattern came off the sleeves. Two green eyes glared at IceDevimon in anger, Ardermon held her hands up ready to fight.
"I am Ardermon, the angel from the fires of hell" the fire angel said. " You've wronged many and you shall pay for it with your life."
IceDevimon stared at Ardermon with wide eyes.
"You weren't suppose to awaken until someone of pure heart fought for someone other then you. The warrior of light fought for you and that oth-." The demon stopped and spun around to look at Kendogarurumon.
"Him.... HE IS OF PURE HEART!"
Ardermon smiled.
"Of course." She pulled a talisman from the sleeve of her kimono and flicked it at the block of ice the held Koji. As soon as the talisman touched the surface of the block, the ice melted away. Kendogarurumon crashed to the ground, but didn't rise.
IceDevimon smiled. "He's dead! Even you couldn't save him!" the Ice digimon laughed and walked over to the wolf digimon as if to prove it.
"Fool." Kendogarurumon shot up. "LUPINE LASER!"
The demon of ice was forced back into a wall. Kendogarurumon turned to Ardermon and nodded.
"I think it should be you to destroy him."
The Fire Angel nodded. She turned to face IceDevimon, her face held no emotion. IceDevimon moved back in fear.
"N-no. I'll do anything you want! I swear!" IceDevimon pleaded. Kendogarurumon glared and snorted.
"I don't think you can. You can't bring back all those digimon you destroyed, and in my case..." Kendogarurumon lowered his head.
"You can't turn back the hands of time!"
"FLAMES OF HADES!" Ardermon called, a huge flame appeared from her hand and wrapped around IceDevimon. He screamed in agony and pain as the fire swallowed him.
Suddenly the walls of the court room started to crack and give way. Kendogarurumon turned around looking for Tenchi. Ardermon smiled and flapped her wings.
"Come on Koji we've got to get out of here." Kendogarurumon looked at the angel with wide eyes.
"Tenchi?" He gasped, and she nodded.
" We'll talk when we get out of here." she mumbled, flapping her wings heading for the entrance gate. Kendogarurumon galloped after her, large chunks of the ceiling dropped in Koji's way as he dodged left and right.
~I've got to keep going...for Takuya..." Suddenly Koji felt a rush of energy and power coursing through his veins. He sprung off the ground and rose into the air.
Kendogarurumon glowed bright white and sped off. He shot right past Ardermon, who smiled and gave a great pulse of her wings. She followed Koji out into the crisp air.

Gigasmon smiled darkly and looked over at Takuya. The child of Flame was having his world crumpling beneath him. Koji glared at Takuya with disgust, then turned his gaze to the warrior of earth. Takuya suddenly felt frozen, just like in a dream when you lose the ability to move freely.
Gigasmon lifted up his arm and slashed to the side, leaving a long gash in Koji's chest. The Child of light's eyes widened, and he gasped for breath. The warrior of earth slid his hand around Koji's neck and squeezed hard.
"KOJI!!" Takuya screamed, still unable to move. The brunette couldn't even close his eyes. Two dark blue orbs, looked into Takuya's brown ones and for the first time the child of flame saw fear in Koji's eyes. Gigasmon threw Koji to the ground, the child of light let out a yelp of pain and lay lifeless.
Takuya felt his feet move for him. The child of flame ran to Koji. Blood covered his chest and the lacerations on his neck were vivid. Koji's eyes fluttered open and looked at Takuya.
"T-Takuya..." The raven haired boy wheezed out, eyes dull and half open.
"I-It's up to you to save.... Ophanimon..."
Tears fell from Takuya's eyes as he dropped to his knees. Extreme sorrow and sadness filled his soul and mind.
"You've got to....save this world." Koji forced a smile. "I'm....sorry...Takuya...."
( A/n I know Koji's suppose to hate Takuya...but I can't let him die without a sorry. T.T)
Koji's eyes slid closed and his chest stopped rising. Takuya sat there for several seconds, frozen. Suddenly something in Takuya's chest tightened, it rose from his heart to his vocal cords, to his mouth. An agonizingly mournful scream, ripped though the air. Takuya felt something grab the back of his shirt and lift him up. Gigasmon smiled and began walking up the path to him without his knowledge. The warrior of Earth held Takuya over his shoulder, forcing the child of Flame to stare at the blood shed of his friends. Tears rolled down Takuya's cheeks, as if the sky felt his pain, drops of rain fell from the sky.
+++
Venenomon slowly carried Takuya's limp body down the spiral staircase. A dark and evil smiled spread over her green lips. Takuya's eyes were no longer white as snow, they were still open but were a dull brown, and lacked pupils.
"The time has come, my wild fire, you are going to meet the end of your life, and I..." The poison digimon chuckled, "and I will rule the digital world, with you as my pet."
+++
Koji skidded to a halt outside of the ice gates of the village, he spun around to see Ardermon glide up beside him. Kendogarurumon de-digievolved to Koji and he gasped for air. She smiled at him, and returned to Tenchi.
"Well.... THAT WAS FUN!" She squealed, bouncing. Koji shook his head, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's get walking, we've got a long way to go." Koji mumbled standing up. "You can explain a few things to my while we walk."
Koji stood and began walking with Tenchi close behind.
"Ok What do you want to know?"
"I want to know why you lied to me." Koji stated firmly." You told me you weren't a digimon.
Tenchi sighed, "I didn't know I was a digimon, IceDevimon froze my power and my memories. I guess the only time I was myself was when I was unconscious." She grinned widely.
"I talked to your friend, Takuya, before he entered his nightmare."
Koji's eyes widened and he looked back at Tenchi. She seemed to be recalling something, she glared at the ground before her and sighed.
"I remember what he was facing..."
Koji raised a brow at her, "What was it? Does it have something to do with his little brother?"
Tenchi shook her head. "No, Takuya's fear...Was your rejection to his feelings for you and...." She trailed off for a moment as if deciding weather to tell Koji or not. ".and you and your friends dying before him..."
Koji's gaze fell to the ground, Takuya liked him, the way he liked Takuya. Koji could have jumped for joy but the second part crushed his joyous spirit. Tenchi took in a sharp gasp. Koji looked back at her and saw a look of fear covering her features.
"What? What's wrong Tenchi." Koji asked gripping her shoulder.
"T-Takuya has faced his nightmares....he watched you die, Koji...." She whispered, breathlessly. "We've got to hurry!"
"Right!" Koji said grabbing his Detector.
"EXECUTE BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION! KENDOGARURUMON!" the wolfish digimon stood in the center of the path, glowing with a bright light.
"Get on my back Tenchi, We'll get to Takuya faster this way."
The young girl nodded and hopped on Kendogarurumon's back. They two practically flew through the mountain trails, and soon evergreen trees were around them. Then realization hit Koji like a rock, his heart beat increased.
"Do you know the other part of the cure?"
Tenchi nodded, "you've had it all along Koji. Loves Tear...."
