kellyQ- Ask and you shall receive....hehehe!
Hyper Pegesus- Yep, plot purposes. Just to make it interesting.
Loner Fox- This is funny-everyone hates Zoë now!!
Taku-chan- Hey, 's long as you don't kill me, you can kill whoever you want- but let me finish the story first cause I'll be needing Zoë for it.
Crystal Ketchum- What is trauma? What is drama? Hehehe, watch TNT? If you do, you'll understand- if not, you'll think I'm an idiot.
TerrierLee- I'm not gonna ask......
Kawaii-chan- He he he, your right, it's more than a little complicated!
Mistress of the Darkness- Okay, freaky! That was like my 4th or 5th death threat! Hmmm, what did happen to the last person? I'm guessing I don't wanna know..{shudders}
"...." you know what that is by now /......./ and you should know what that is, too.

Takuya struggled to find his thoughts. When it finally sunk in what was happening, he gasped against Zoë's mouth.
/What the hell is she doing? Get off! Get off!/ Takuya pushed Zoë away from him. Zoë stumbled, but didn't fall.
"What do you think you were doing? What's wrong with you!" Takuya yelled.
Zoë looked deeply hurt and didn't say anything as Takuya kept asking her questions like why the hell did she do that. Finally, she burst into tears. This shut Takuya right up.
/Oh man, now I've made her cry! Maybe I was too hard on her. But still.../
"No, Zoë, don't cry. Zoë I...I didn't mean to be mean, you just...I wasn't expecting that."
Zoë, still in tears, looked up and sniffed. "So your not mad? I know I just went out on a whim, but I couldn't help it. I've wanted to tell you forever! I thought you....maybe felt the same way too?" She looked up hopefully.
/How can I tell her that I don't? I know how much it'd hurt her. I remember when I told Koji and he wasn't sure how he felt; I remember how much it hurt thinking that he'd never love me. But I don't love her!/
"Look, Zoë, I just haven't been thinking about you. You can't ask me to decide how I feel when I've never really thought about it."
"But I thought-" she snapped her mouth shut and looked down.
"What? What did you think?"
Zoë sighed, and reluctantly told Takuya what she had thought. "I- I thought that all those times you were 'thinking', that maybe you were thinking of....well, me. You hadn't been acting the same, and I know from experience how peoples' attitudes tend to change when they're dealing with great emotion. First I thought that something was wrong, but nothing had happened. And we've been in the Digital World a long time now, so I'd know if something bad had happened, and it's not like you could be having family problems when your this far away from home, right?"
Takuya nodded, and let her continue. "So, after a while, I decided that you must be in love with someone. And seeing as I'm the only girl here....well, you know what I thought. Plus, I guess it was just wishful thinking, cause I do have feelings for you, Takuya. But I guess it couldn't have been love that was on your mind."
Takuya sighed inwardly. /At least she didn't stop to think that maybe I was thinking about love, just not about a girl./
"So, anyways, what was on your mind? If it...if it wasn't me, I mean."
/Wow, she bounces back quickly./ "Well, like I said before, it's personal. It was just about me, and my life. And I just really want to save the Digital World, so I think about that a lot," he lied. He couldn't tell her the truth, not without consulting Koji anyway, since it concerned him, too.
"I understand. I sometimes feel the same way- especially when we meet other Digimon whose lives and homes have been ruined. I just want to help them all."
"Yeah. So- uh, I guess we should really get back, right?" He felt very uncomfortable being alone with Zoë now that he knew how she felt about him.
"Yeah. And I promise not to kiss you this time," she giggled.
Takuya just chuckled nervously. "Heh, yeah."
As they headed back to camp in silence, the sky grew darker. In the quietness, little sounds were very audible. They reached the camp, and were greeted by the others. Takuya spotted Koji and crept over to him while J.P. and Tommy talked to Zoë.
"Hey," Koji said.
"Hey. How'd it go?"
"Alright, I guess. Bokomon and Neemon left me alone for the most part, which was great. Those two can get real annoying. Still not much luck with connecting with the universe, though. How'd things go with you and Zoë?"
Takuya was about to tell him what had happened, when he stopped to think about it first. /It's not really that important; it doesn't change things between Koji and me. And he'd only get mad at Zoë, and who knows what he'd do then. Zoë knows I don't love her, and she's too embarrassed to bring it up again, I'm sure. So why tell him?/
"Uh, same here. We just sat around all day. Didn't talk much, and neither of us had any luck either."
"Yeah, think the same thing went for J.P. and Tommy. I guess we'll be here a while. Oh well, least it's peacef-" he was cut off by a loud screech. The two of them whipped around and were looking at a large Digimon.
J.P. cautiously approached it. "Hello. Uh, do you come in peace?"
The Digimon made another horrible screeching sound, and hit J.P. who was knocked to the ground. Rubbing his cheek, he muttered, "Guess not."
Bokomon quickly explained. "That's Scorpomon. His tail is lined with spikes, and he's got a nasty temper. He's pretty powerful, and his attacks are so painful, they may knock you unconscious. Well, what are you waiting for?" he added, staring at the Takuya and the others.
"Oh, right. Execute Spirit Evolution! Agunimon!"
The rest of the group also changed into their human-type Digimon forms. Beetlemon was first to attack, no doubt to get even with Scorpomon for hitting him. Scorpomon was barely fazed and swung his tail around to literally nail Beetlemon, but he dodged the attack. Agunimon used his "Pyro- Punch!" and Scorpomon's attention was turned to him. Each of the chosen attacked Scorpomon, who was starting to get confused, dizzy, and weak. Kazemon attacked with "Thunder Wave" but Scorpomon dodged it and counterattacked with his tail. He hit Kazemon square in the head, and she devolved back into Zoë.
"Zoë!" Beetlemon cried. He was so pissed off at Scorpomon that he gathered his remaining strength and attacked him. Finally, Scorpomon's Digicode appeared, and J.P. scanned it. After everyone had devolved back to their human selves, J.P. rushed to Zoë's side and bent down beside her. She was only partly conscious.
"Oh, Zoë! Zoë, can you hear me? Are you okay?"
Zoë just lay there but made a faint noise. She seemed to be in her own world. Then she spoke. "Takuya....get Takuya."
Confused, J.P. called Takuya over. Takuya bent down beside her, and asked "Yeah? Are you okay, Zoë?"
Zoë's eyes were still closed, and Takuya didn't think she had any clue what she was doing. "Takuya...kiss me again? When we kissed today in the forest, I.....kiss me again?"
/Oh no./ Takuya gulped. He spun around and found Koji's face. If looks could kill, Takuya would be dead. Koji was shooting daggers at him with his eyes. "No, Koji-"
But Koji turned and ran. No one besides Takuya noticed. "Koji!" he called, standing up. He was about to run after him, but someone caught his arm. He turned, and saw that it was J.P..
"YOU KISSED HER? HOW DARE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU, TAKUYA, I'LL FREAKIN KILL YOU!
____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________
Takuya emerged from the campsite badly bruised and bleeding. J.P. had beaten him up before he'd even had the chance to explain. When J.P. briefly paused to catch his breath, Takuya used all his strength to speak. His voice was little more than a whisper, and J.P. had to strain to hear it. Even after Takuya explained what had really happened, J.P. was not fully convinced. He said that as soon as Zoë regained full consciousness, he'd ask her what really happened, but in the meantime he'd mercifully let Takuya escape with what remaining life he had.
Even though he was in so much pain, Takuya kept walking. He knew that he should really sit down and rest, at least until he stopped bleeding from the nose and mouth, but all he could think about was Koji. He had to get to him as soon as possible. He had to explain-to tell the harmless truth of what really happened. He couldn't stand the thought of Koji being mad at him, at Koji thinking he had betrayed him. He couldn't stand the thought of losing Koji.
/But everything will be alright/ he told himself. / I'll tell Koji what really happened, then we'll kiss and makeup. If I can get there, that is.../ He stopped to rest a little. Leaning against a tree and panting, he tried to figure out where to find Koji. He had seen the general direction in which Koji had run, but he could have gone anywhere from there. Takuya lifted his head and surveyed the landscape. It kind of looked familiar...
/Of course!/ he thought. / He must have gone to the cave! It's around here, somewhere, and after everything that's happened between us in that cave, it's the only spot I can think of that he would go to!/
Ten long, painful minutes later, he found the cave and stepped inside. The familiar dankness and darkness greeted him. He walked all through the cave, but Koji was nowhere to be seen. He was too exhausted to carry on without another rest, so he sat down on a stone and leaned against the cave wall.
/I thought he'd be here. Then again, he probably knew I'd search here for him. I guess he doesn't want to be found. How can I explain everything to him if I can't even find him?/ Takuya was getting more and more depressed. Just the other day everything was peachy keen, and now it was ruined. Life sure changes a lot from day to day, he thought. How could everything be so wonderful one minute, and so terrible the next? And where the hell was Koji?
____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________
Well, that's it for now! Wow, J.P. was real pissed off. Hey, I've got a bit of bad news: I'm going to Texas and I won't be back until the end of July, so I won't be able to update for a while. I know I promised to tell you all before I go anywhere, so just thought I'd let you know. But I am NOT deserting this story! I will continue it as soon as I get back! I'll try to get another chapter in before I leave, but I'm leaving in a few days, so I don't think I'll be able to. Sorry! I'll write again first thing when I get back!
