La la la la la..oh, hello there! Why am I here again..right, next chapter.
Hmmm, think I'll skip reviews today (but I still appreciate them!).

Takuya didn't welcome the morning sunlight. All that meant to him was that he had to let go of Koji (whom he had held onto all night). As soon as he heard movement from the others he hastily drew his arm back to his side, and turned away from Koji. J.P. grumbled a "'morning" and woke the others up. What Takuya wouldn't give to lie there by Koji for just one more minute, but Koji, too, was getting up. He gave a quick smile to Takuya before standing, and then asked Zoe what the plan for the day was.
"We still need to do what Ophanimon told us to do, and since none of us had much luck yesterday, I think we should all try again, " she replied, and then looked straight at Takuya for his opinion.
"That's fine by me," he said.
"Great! We'll meet back here just after dark again. Oh, and considering what happened yesterday, I also think we should split up into pairs. We wouldn't want anyone to be alone and defenseless again."
"I WAS NOT DEFENSELESS! KLEPTOMON STOLE MY D-TECTOR!"
"Yeah, well, you should have been more careful, Takuya. In fact, you're coming with me. It seems that I need to keep an eye on you or else you'll always get into trouble."
"But..." He looked longingly at Koji, but Koji shook his head sternly and turned away. /Fine, have it your way!/ "Alright."
J.P. called from behind, 'Hey, Tommy, wanna be my partner?"
"Sure!" he agreed. "But what about...." They all looked at Koji.
"Fine, I'll go by myself. It's not like I wanted to go with one of you anyways."
"No, Koji. You'd better go with Bokomon and Neemon," Zoe said.
"Whatever. C'mon then," he motioned for the two Digimon to follow him, and then walked away.
"But what about breakfast!" Zoe called after him. Koji just shrugged and continued walking. "OOOOK then. Uh, let's eat and go!"
They had a quick breakfast of bananas and berries and then headed off in different directions. Takuya trailed behind Zoe, letting her take the lead for once. Instead of another damp cave, she led him down by a river in the middle of a small forest clearing.
"I came by here yesterday on my way back to camp. Thought it'd be a good place to go today."
Takuya just nodded his head, and sat on the edge of the grass, letting his sneakers and legs wade in the water. He stared down at his reflection, thinking about Koji, and didn't look up till he heard Zoe.
"So, um, are you ready to have that talk yet?"
"Zoe, we're supposed to be getting in tune with nature, not making conversation." He didn't really feel like talking.
"I know! But we have loads of time, and I just want to talk. Are you better now? You certainly seemed to be in a better mood yesterday."
Takuya sighed happily. "Yeah, I think my problems are solved for now."
"Oh," Zoe replied in an almost hurt way. /Guess she really wanted to be the one to help me. Girls.../ "Well, can I at least ask what the problem was? Before it was solved, I mean."
Koji had agreed with him that they shouldn't tell the others about their fresh relationship.
"Er-not just yet. It's..uh...sort of a....sensitive subject," he said carefully, still looking down.
"Oh. Oh! You mean....." she looked, in a horrified manner, at Takuya's crotch.
Takuya followed her eyes to see where she was looking, and then gasped. "No! No, Zoe, it's got nothing to do with my....that!"
She quickly looked away, and visibly blushed. "No, of course not. T-That's not what I thought."
Takuya couldn't help but laugh.
"What? Stop it! I'm already embarrassed!"
"He he, I'm sorry! It's just.ha ha ha ha ha!" he burst out laughing again.
"If you're not gonna quit laughing, I'm leaving Takuya!"
"Fine, fine! I'll stop!" Takuya could tell that Zoe was still embarrassed, cause she sat a little further away from him, and didn't talk to him for a couple of hours. Takuya wasn't even trying to do as he was supposed to. He was too busy fantasizing about Koji and wondering how much luck he was having with the task at hand.
/Maybe I can sneak him away from camp tonight, and get another kiss out of him. The others won't notice; they'll be snoozing. But Koji does worship sleep; maybe before we go to sleep we can pretend to hear a noise and go off to "check it out". That's not suspicious, is it?/ His thoughts were momentarily cut off by Zoe's voice.
"Takuya, are you even trying?!"
"Of course I am," he said dumbly, and resumed his thinking.
"Hey, there's some fruit trees nearby, why don't we get some lunch?"
Takuya hadn't even noticed how loudly his stomach had been growling. "Great, I could use a break." They got up and walked over to a line of fruit trees. While Zoe plucked off a pineapple and some berries, Takuya got a couple apples and a handful of grapes. Zoe attempted to redeem herself by conversing with Takuya while they ate.
"So, how are we gonna know when we're done, anyway?"
"No idea. Ophanimon said we'd 'feel a connection' but that doesn't help much."
"Yeah. As nice as it is here, I sorta hope we leave soon. I feel like the Digital World could be decaying while we wait here."
"Nah, Ophanimon would tell us if anything major was happening. After all, we're the ones who have to fight it, right? I guess she figures that we can become stronger here, and then we'll be ready to fight whatever's out there."
They had both finished eating. It was staring to get dark, so Takuya stood and said, "Think we should head back, now?"
Zoe also stood. "Yeah."
As Takuya turned around, Zoe grabbed his arm, swung him around, and then did the unexpected.
She leaned forward and kissed Takuya.
