A/n *glomps Reviewers* THANK YOU!!!

Chapter 8: The Reunion

Venenomon smiled darkly as she laid Takuya on a stone table. A hole in the roof let sun light pour down on the child of Flame. The walls of the chamber were covered with ancient drawings and inscriptions. Venenomon gently pulled off Takuya's hat and goggles and placed them near his head. Afterwards, she pulled out a small seed and gently placed it on Takuya's chest.

"Now stay here, my fire, and I'll return with your friends..."she whispered, stepping back into the shadows. Alamon stood beside the door, arms folded over her chest.

"The seed of pain, it feeds on the sorrow and the doubt of the person it is placed upon." The bat digimon smiled, the two bat ears on her head twitched. "You're planning to make his pain hold them....very wise..."

"You remember what we're going to do?" Venenomon snapped, giving an irritated glare toward her partner.

Alamon rolled her eyes. "Oh but of coarse, we're going to-"

Venenomon wrapped a vine around Alamon's mouth. "Not here you fool!" The poison digimon ordered her eyes narrowed. She removed the vine from Alamon and pointed out the door.

"Get moving you still have to find your targets!"

Alamon growled and walked out. The bat digimon closed her eyes and mumbled something not so pleasant under her breath. In a flash she'd disappeared into the shadows created from the light.

Zoe paced back and forth, her face etched with worry. JP sat on the ground next to the two sleeping digimon, Bokomon and Neemon.

"Zoe, I don't think walking around in circles like that will bring them back any quicker." The child of Thunder said watching the blond girl. She sighed.

"I know JP but ..."

"But what?" He countered.

Zoe sat down beside JP and looked down at the ground.

"I wish we could have gone with Koji and Tommy. Takuya's apart of our team, so why should they be the only ones to go...?"

JP nodded, understanding what it was she was saying.

"I see where you're coming from...the child of Thunder stood up then, brushing off dirt from his pants, and extended a hand out toward her to help her up off the ground.

"Let's go find them!"

"If you were to follow them it would be pointless..." A voice said behind them, startling the pair. Zoe spun around to see a human-bat-like digimon with white hair and red eyes. The digimon smiled and bowed as she offered them her assistance.

"I could take to your friends in the flash of an eye..."

JP glared and stood in front of Zoe, wanting to protect her.

"Who are you?!?" He demanded, hands clenched into tight fists.

The digimon smiled coyly. "You can call me Wingmon, I've been sent to take you to your friend."

Zoe peaked over JP's shoulder at the digimon, the blond scowled and whispered."She looks a little too sinister to be sent by Ophanimon..."

"Yea... but we don't have much of a choice!" JP whispered back. Then, in a normal tone he said: "We'd be happy if you were to take us to our friends."

Wingmon smiled.

"Very well then, give me your hands." She held her own clawed hands out to them. JP glanced at Zoe who nodded in return. They both stepped over to the digimon and put there hands in hers. She smiled evilly and clutched they tightly.

"Didn't your mothers ever tell you not to trust strangers...?" she hissed as black vapor wrapped around them. Zoe opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. The children of Thunder and Wind disappeared in the mist, with Wingmon.who was really Alamon.

(FYI Ala means Wing in Spanish. ^.^ yea her names Wingmon... pitiful ya? Oh and Rana means frog...Frogmon....hehee ok back to the fic...)

Koji's heart sped up, love's tear....someone who loved Takuya had to cry for him. Kendogarurumon galloped as fast as he possibly could. If what Tenchi said was true then Koji had almost wasted his time. The beast of light swerved a hard right, and ran along a the mountainside's base. Soon he and Tenchi came to the cave where he had left Tommy and Takuya.

"Tommy! Tommy we've got the other part of the cure!" Koji yelled as Tenchi hopped off his back. She walked slowly into the cave, eyes narrowed and fingers clenched. Kendogarurumon followed her in, he gasped when he saw Tommy lying face downon the ground, and no Takuya.

"Tommy!" The beast of Light de-digievolved and knelt beside the child of ice. "Tommy wake up, this isn't the time to be napping!" Koji exclaimed, shaking the smaller boy's shoulders gently.

"Koji, stop he isn't going to wake up." Tenchi declared, folding her arms over her chest. "Venenomon has used her sleep shower on him, Tommy isn't going to wake up until she wants him to."

Koji growled and punched a fist at the ground, "and I bet that she's taken Takuya too, damn it!"

Koji glared at the ground for a bit more, before gently picking Tommy up.

"Come on, We're going to go find Venenomon."

Tenchi cocked a brow up, "and how do you purpose we find her?"

Koji shifted Tommy in his arms and pulled out his detector, "if she's got Takuya I think, she'll also have his detector."

"Well, well I'm very impressed..." a high voice sneered, Tenchi and Koji spun around to see Venenomon. Her green lips curled over her teeth in a smirk. "I thought it would take you two forever to get here... and you've even formed a plan, I'm quite shocked."

Koji growled dangerously low, and held Tommy close to his body. If You've done anything to Takuya, I'll-"

Venenomon laughed, shaking her head. "Now why would I do anything to my wonderful fire pet?" She cooed looking Koji straight in the eye. The child of light was fighting the urge to stand up and kick her bitchy ass.

"He's going to help me, just as soon as he wakes up. The poor dear..."

She paused, hanging her head as if in mourning. "The love of his Life hated him, and he watched the same person he still loved die at the hands of the fiercest enemy...Gigasmon."

Koji snarled, sent Tommy down and stood up. Venenomon's head shot up.

"No, no you naughty Wolf-boy, if you destroy me now you'll never find him in time."

She held up Takuya's detector and smiled sinisterly. "Now, I think you need a nice, long nap. SLEEP SHOWER!"

Venenomon case the spell at Tenchi, who gasped and inhaled the power, soon Tenchi fell into a sleep like Tommy's and landed with thud on the ground. Venenomon smiled and quickly vanished, appearing again so that she was nowbehind Koji, doing it so quickly he didn't have enough time to react. She raised her hand,and punched him hard in the back of the head. Koji gasped as he felt the blow and sunk to his knees, then landed on the cave floor, barely conscious. He tried to get up again, but Venenomon's foot came down on his back

"Just go to sleep Wolfie." She purred. "You'll see my pet.your lover. soon."

There was only one name that Koji managed to whisper out before falling into unconciousness.

"Takuya."

+++

The child of flame stared at the moonlit ground the entire time Gigasmon carried him. The image of Koji's bloody body was stuck in Takuya's mind.

Tears continued to fall from his eyes as the earth warrior rose up an incline. Takuya peaked over his shoulder and saw a huge black castle. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Now that's a creepy castle, Koji." Takuya murmured, turning back to look at the ground. "A lot better then that lavender one, huh?"

A fresh wave of tears poured down his cheeks. A sudden rage built itself within Takuya's heart, giving him enough energy to slam his fists into Gigasmona's back, but it didn't make much damage.hardly any at all actually.

Takuya continued to thrust his punches at Gigasmon, as the digimon walked around the castle. Soon Takuya became too tired and slumped onto Gigasmon. The digimon suddenly stopped, the child blinked and tried to look around. What looked to be Knightmon were blocking the way.

"Put the boy down Gigasmon!" The one in the front ordered, swinging his sword around. The warrior of Earth made no movement to return Takuya to the ground. The Knightmon quietly discussed something quickly, then glared back at Gigasmon.

"On my count men! Three...two...one! CHARGE!!" Suddenly the entire group of amour digimon ran at Takuya and Gigasmon. The child of flame yelped and covered his head. Gigasmon made no movement to dodge the oncoming attacks, nor did the Knightmon seem to care what they hit. Electric blasts ripped though the air, hitting Gigasmon hard in the chest. The Legendary warrior of Earth was forced back a few feet and dropped Takuya in the process. The child of flame landed hard on his head and slipped into the peaceful bliss of unconsciousness....

Koji groaned and tried to move his arms, but something thorny punctured his wrists. Koji's blue eyes snapped open and he hissed in pain. Dark green vines with thick thorns were wrapped tightly around Koji's wrists, legs, ankles and waist. Koji took a quick look around the room he was held captive in.

Not far from where he hung, Zoe, JP and Tommy, also were bound by the same strange plant vines. Koji's eyes followed the vines paths to the center of the room, and what he saw next, caused him to gasp. Takuya Kanbara lay on a stone tablet, moonlight pouring down on his milky white face, the thick vines coming from his heart.

Koji felt a pang of fear in his heart when he looked at Takuya's eyes still brown but very dull.

Koji glared at the vines around his wrists and was about to try and bite them off when he heard two sets of foot steps coming from the hallway from his right. Quickly Koji let his body slack against the vines that bound him, a door creaked open and the footfalls entered. Koji could sense their eyes resting on him before moving somewhere else in the room. Then he heard a voice that made his blood boil.

"Alamon get me that cape! The one on the other side on the room." Venenomon's voice hissed. There was a slight sigh, then the sound of flapping wings, Koji felt a breeze past by him.

"I don't think this will work Venenomon, that kid isn't stupid enough to believe you're going to help him, and that the spirit will become stronger with the sacrifice of his soul!" Another voice scolded the first.

'Sacrifice?!' Koji's mind screamed. 'Takuya wouldn't....oh crap...that's Takuya's SUICIDE!'

"This WILL work Alamon." Venenomon said in a hurry, the sound of moving cloth soon followed, and the same breeze pasted by Koji again. "Look, even the vines of his pain have covered the entire room. He no longer possesses the will to live!"

Koji felt his anger raise within him, he snapped his eyes open and glared daggers into the bat digimon, his least favorite person in the world.

"I'm not going to let you hurt Takuya, or use him in anyway you sick lazy bitch!"

The child of light yelled at the top of his lungs. Alamon and Venenomon, who wore a long black cloak, jumped and spun around. The fallen angel digimon glared at the poison one.

"You didn't use your sleeper spell on him?"

Venenomon shook her head vigorously and sighed. "I had used up all of my Power, it isn't my fault!"

Koji growled low and dangerously as he tried to swipe at the two digimon, but only succeeded in having the thorns dig deeper into his wrists. He yelped in sudden pain and Venenomon smiled.

"You know..." she mused stepping in between the vines that littered the floor. "I never knew that such beauty could be born from such pain." She touched a single flower that had grown beside Koji's head. She smiled sinisterly.

"Even in unconsciousness, even in his darkest hour, he still cares for you....oh the irony...." she purred, lacing her fingers in Koji's hair. The child of light glared and jerked his head away. She smiled again, releasing him and stepped toward Takuya.

"He's going to give up his soul to the flame...even if you die at his hand." Venenomon purred, gently touching Takuya's head.

"He'll never see you again....even in death."
