A/N:: Yay!!! I can update!! It's gonna be so cute because Takuya gets to know Chikari

Kouji:; What are you planning?

Whits:: Nothing... i'm not going to abandon you and takuya's love, Chikari thinks of Takuya like a brother.

Takuya:: I'd rather have a sister than Shinya.

Whits:: 0.0;

Takuya:: I'm serious

Kouji:: I like Shinya

Whits:: start the chapter!!!!!!!!

Love of the Wolf "Hope"

Takuya had been putting wood on the fire as Chikari finally woke up. She looked over at the goggle head, blankness in her eyes.

"Takuya...?"

"Good morning, Chikari. Glad to see your awake." Takuya was cooking something. ((oh my god, takuya cooks -.-; we're doomed))

"Whatcha making...?"

"Mmmph... some soup with chicken in it. You wanna try it?" Takuya gave her a warm smile.

"...sure." She replied in a small voice.

Takuya pulled out a bowl that he recieved from his friends back in the Burgermon Village, and poured some of the chicken soup. He handed the bowl to her, and she slowly took it. She scooped a spoonful of soup into her spoon and poured it into her mouth.

"It's very good." She mumbled.

"Thank you, that's very kind of you to say." He laid his chin in his cupped hand.

"....hey? Lemme ask you something."

"What might that be?"

"Why... why did you help me before? Most people in my old village didn't want anything to do with me. So, why are you so nice to me?"

"... I don't know, honestly. I guess... it's because you remind me of my friend, Kouji."

"Who's Kouji?"

"He's a dear friend of mine. He helped me survive when we fought against Cherubimon, and Lucemon."

"Do you... like him?" Chikari asked.

Takuya blinked, unknown to himself that he was blushing. He rubbed his sore arm and got the courage to speak.

"I guess you could say that, yes I do like him... but, I just hope he thinks that too." Takuya sighed.

"I like you..."

"What did you just say?!"

"When I look at you, I see my big brother that died a long time ago."

"...Am I supposed to feel good about that?" Takuya rubbed his pounding head.

"Can I call you nii-san?" She laid her head on his shoulder.

"...uh, okay. You can if you want." He smiled, softly.

"okay..."

He poured himself a bowl of his soup, and slurped it down. It was very good, and only he knew the recipe to the soup. After he was done, he noticed that Chikari had falled asleep on his shoulder.

A/N: I think the snoring gave it away. ^^ By the way, if you don't know, nii-san means 'brother'. hehe

****

Kouji finally arrived at the Shibuya train station, and was on the elevator to the basement. He knew Izumi knew where Takuya was now. He was in the digital world.

"....I guess... I'b better listen to Izumi for the first time in my lifetime." Kouji sighed, as the elevator finally came to a stop.

He stepped out to see a maroon train with eyes closed, and a metal going in a zig zag around his mouth.

"Angler...?" Kouji whispered.

"Huh... hey, your that human kid that raced in the Trailmon race. How you doing?"

"Could... you take me to the digital world?"

"You want to go there? Do you have business there?"

"I guess you could say that, yes, I do have business there."

"What's that?"

"My... friend is there, and I'm going to find him, and I need to tell him something..." Kouji trailed off.

"I understand, climb on, kid." Angler opened the door to the train.

Kouji stepped on, and the door shut behind him. He took a seat, and sunk low in his seat. For a surprise, the train didn't rock around this time. Angler and Kouji didn't talk at all, then they were at the digital train station.

"All right, get off, kid."

Kouji lifted himself from his seat, and went for the exit of the train. The air around him made him get chill down his spin. He rubbed his arms, even though the blood stain on his jacket was still there.

"Good luck to you, Kouji." Angler said.

"If only luck existed, but thanks anyway, Angler." Kouji headed off.

He walked through the streets, ignoring the words of praise he was getting from the digimon around him. They knew he was one of the Legendary Warriors that helped save the digital world a year ago. He only dug his hands deeper into his pocket, and keep up his speed, as he left the village of digimon.

'I'm here to find Takuya, not to be showered with praise from the digimon. I'm not in the mood for it anyway..."

He stared up at the sky, knowing he would find Takuya. That stubborn child of fire was the main reason he was able to soften up a bit, besides his brother, Kouichi. He smiled to himself as he continued through the forest.

"I'll find you, Takuya. and... I swear I'll tell you how I truely feel..." He smiled, letting the sun warm him up from the chill he had gotten.

A/N:: It's over. I can say I liked that chapter.

Takuya:: I'm a little confused. I don't know anymore about Chikari than I did before.

Kouji:: he's right.

Whits:: so? you know that she was ignored when she lived in her old village. that has to count for something, right?

Takuya and Kouji: -.0;

Whits:: just r/r... please
