Chapter 2: Takeru's True Form?
***
**Daisuke's POV**
I felt a fear run through my body. Not even when I was in the Digital World did I feel like this. This fear was different. I couldn't move. Every part of my mind had shut down and all I could think of was what happened to Takeru. It makes no sense. He was so happy and fine a few minutes ago, then why...this?
I tried to say something, but no sound made its way out. All I knew was I was afraid. Nothing else. Everything seemed wrong. I thought that maybe after all we've been through, we would be happy together and just live our lives.
Takeru's eyes never changed. He stared at me with no emotion. It was like I was looking into a black hole that nothing could escape from. Every hope I had was sucked into those eyes. I lost my courage in those eyes too. I couldn't move.
I heard footsteps coming closer. How long have I been standing here? The door opened and Yamato stood there, probably thinking I had done something to his sweet little brother.
"What are you two doing?"
Neither of us replied.
"Well? Daisuke? TK?"
I finally turned away from those eyes and into Matt's blue ones. Still no sound could be made.
"What's wrong?"
I noticed Takeru was not facing him. He wasn't facing me either, but the window. The moon. It was dim and covered with the dark clouds of the night.
"Takeru?" Yamato walked beside his brother reaching out to him with one hand. I hoped that his brother would get through to him. Takeru was lost. Where though? What was happening?
As his hand came closer to Takeru, he was thrown back by some unknown force and slammed into the wall opposite of Takeru. The others must have heard as they stepped inside the room.
"Yamato!" Taichi ran to his boyfriend with nothing but fear and concern.
Yamato, with the help of Taichi, got back to his feet.
"What happened, Yama-chan?"
"T-Takeru..."
I kept my eyes on my angel. I saw some sort of mist around him. It was faint, but still clear. It seemed to be either coming from Takeru or surrounding him. I wasn't sure.
"Takeru? What's wrong?" This time Iori attempted to help his friend. He was stopped, though, by Ken. "Ken-chan?"
"I've seen this before. I don't know how or where, but this scene. It's familiar."
Takeru turned to the others so his back was to the moon. His eyes were still as black as ever. His face, completely impassive. I couldn't even recognize him. He looked so...different. Not my angel. The one who stands before me cannot be my angel. It just can't. But I see him with my own eyes. I followed the same Takeru I've always known.
"What do you mean?" Koushiro asked from behind Jyou.
"Well, I just have this feeling that this is familiar. I can't place it though. It just seems close, I guess."
"You don't know this, Ken?"
"Huh?"
All of our eyes went to the owner of the voice. Takeru. But this voice wasn't his. It was a stoic voice that didn't seem to fit my angel. His eyes came back to life, but they were still black.
"What do you mean?" Ken questioned.
A smirk rose to the blonde's lips. "You all feel fear. You know nothing else at this very moment. All you can do is fear what is before you." He's right. All of us feel that, that aura. "I would think you, Ken, would understand, but I am wrong."
"I don't...understand."
"Of course you don't. You are not the one to understand this. You do not have the heart to."
"The heart to? What do you mean?"
He didn't reply. He merely looked at the moon again. "Destiny." That was all he said.
"Who are you?! What have you done with Takeru?!?!" Miyako yelled as she stepped in front of Sora protectively.
Takeru laughed. Not his soft one, but more of a malicious laughter. The air became silent once again.
"I am Takeru. He is I and I am him. We are one in the same."
"No..." I whispered softly.
He turned back to us. "Takeru is no longer hope."
"No! No! Give back my brother!!! Leave him alone!!!" Yamato pulled away from Taichi's grip and leaped at the shorter blonde.
"Fool."
Yamato reached for his younger brother only managing to be stopped in midair. He dropped to the ground in pain grabbing his chest as if it were to explode.
"Yamato!"
"Don't touch him." Takeru commanded flatly. "I'll kill him if you come closer."
Taichi obeyed fearing for his lover's life. It was in the hand of this...who the hell knows what that is? It is definitely not Takeru!
Takeru grabbed Yamato by the neck, pulling him off the ground. "Brother. Sweet brother of mine. You are my family. We share the same blood." He grinned. His free hand came up to Yamato's neck. The hand changed form as the once soft, silky fingers were replaced with long bone-like claws that seemed to be inhuman. One finger rubbed against the older blonde's skin as a cut was forming and blood started to trickle down.
"Who are you?" Yamato dared to ask.
Takeru's grin was still in place. "Can you not recognize your own brother?"
"You are not my brother."
"I'm hurt, Yama."
"Don't call me that. Never call me that."
"I'm not little anymore, Yama. I am not that helpless little boy you thought you could protect forever. I am not him, Yama."
Takeru dropped the older blonde letting him hit the ground. He looked back at the moon. I looked to the others as they looked as helpless as I did.
"Keru-chan..." I pleaded softly. His cold eyes looked to me. But no emotions were shown in those eyes. "Takeru... please."
Takeru ignored me and instead became to change once again as his hand had. His once blonde hair changed to a dull grayish color. He cut parts off with the claw hand. His bangs hung in the front covering most of his face.
"Takeru is not like this. Takeru is not the one you want. I am." Ken made a desperate attempt in saving his friend, one attempt that Iori certainly did not like as he held onto his love tightly.
"I am Takeru." The window opened causing the wind to blow in hitting us harshly. He jumped to the windowsill. "Every moon, I will come." With that, he faded into the night sky almost as if a cloud had picked him up.
"Takeru..." I lost all strength in my legs and collapsed to the ground letting every tear I held back fall. I lost him. I lost Takeru.
"Yamato!!!" I looked up from the ground and saw Taichi huddling over his hurt boyfriend. "Please be okay. Please be okay." Taichi was crying. Each tear fell to Yamato. He was hurt badly.
"Stop with the water works, Tai."
"Yamato!"
"Not so loud please."
"Sorry." Taichi whispered.
Yamato's eyes closed and then opened again. "Where's Takeru?"
Then silence. No one knew what to say. No one knew what was happening. It was too fast. Everything was moving too fast.
"Yamato? Are you okay?"
"What do you think, Tai?"
"This is serious."
"I know." Yamato smiled up at his boyfriend.
Jyou quickly got to Yamato's side and began to check the blonde. Koushiro brought in Jyou's first aid kit and Jyou began to wrap Yamato's cuts. I went to the window and sat there looking at the moon that had kept most of Takeru's attention. It was in the night being covered by so much, but still, it's beautiful. Takeru...
What exactly happened to Takeru and what will happen to him?
To Be Continued...
NT: I'm scared now. I didn't mean it to go this way. Takeru is now like some half human, half something else thing.
Ken: Thing?
NT: Yes, thing.
Dai: *ignoring NT*
NT: Is he still mad at me?
Ken: Yup.
NT: I'm sorry, Dai, but I couldn't just write fluffy.
All fans: WHY NOT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
NT: ^_^U I think I'm deaf now.
Ken: *takes out earplugs* Please R/R otherwise Takeru will get worse.
Dai: You better review!!! *glares at all readers*
Ken: Yeah, that helps. You're as intimidating as a puppy.
Dai: *pouts*
Ken: What? No 'kawaii!!!' from the authoress?
NT: ^_^U *still deaf*
Ken: -_-;;
Yama: Ow, pain.
Tai: Yama!! I told you to stay in bed!!!
Yama: Have... to save...Takeru. *collapses*
Tai: -_-;; Yeah, and falling over is so helping him.
Yama: Shuddap.
