Runaway from Life

Chapter Two: Spiritual Healing...and Fighting

Kitsu-Chan: Just a heads-up, this will have English and Japanese names...maybe. I don't know!Well, Minoru wouldn't leave me alone so I'm typing this as soon as I finished the last chapter. He also said he wouldn't stop looking over my shoulder until I finished. But I have a plan to get him to go away!

Minoru: And what would that be? ¤crosses arms¤

Kitsu-Chan: Oh you're so cute when you do that! Com'ere you sexy little minx!

Minoru: GAH!! ¤runs away¤

Kitsu-Chan: That hurt me mentally too. Kouji and Kouichi fans please don't hurt me. Well, I won't keep you.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon (damn!)

Claimer: I own all the characters in this story except the frontier cast.

He felt pain. Well, more pain then he already felt. He felt himself face down on the cold hard ? And smooth....The floor in the elevator was carpeted. He lifted himself only to fall back down from the incredible pain in his back.

'You shouldn't move.'

"How's Izumi?" Takuya folded his arms beneath his head and looked away.

'She's okay. Just wandering around. You however, got hit in the back with a pillar trying to protect her.'

"Anyone else here?"

'A few are on their way.' Takuya felt a cold hand on his back. He naturally relaxed and shut his eyes. He felt something cold creep inside of his body, it felt soothing to his pain. Several minutes later his back was healed.

"Thanks, Minoru."

'Any time.'

He heard a small 'ting!' behind him but he remained on the ground. His back was still stinging, like when you move your leg when it had been asleep for a while; not quite pain, but still hurt like hell.

'Twins. Can't tell whether they're male or female....'

"Watch it. They're male and they're my friends."

"Kouji! Kouichi! Oh my god, it's so nice to see you again!" Takuya heard Izumi run towards them and saw Minoru's eyes grow wide.

'Well, isn't she friendly?'

Takuya slowly got up and immediately he felt his head swim. Only when he felt Minoru's hands on his shoulders did he realize that he'd almost fallen. Minoru put one hand on Takuya's forehead and Takuya felt his mind clear and steady.

'Don't push yourself. Then there's just no point in me being with you. Oh, Izumi and the twins are on their way here. Another elevator is here, too. A short kid and an older kid.'

"We're all together again." Takuya said softly. He looked down at his fist. "They won't be surprised." He smiled weakly.

"Junpei! Tomoki!"

'Why doesn't she run over here and get friendly with you, eh?'

"First of all, shut up. Second of all, they probably don't recognize me 'cuz of the hair; and thirdly, your ass is mine when I figure out how!"

"What's with you?" Junpei asked.

Minoru smiled as Takuya's friends stood behind him; they had walked over when he was making his threats.

"Nothing." He said flatly.

"Who are you, anyway?" Kouji asked suspiciously.

Takuya mouthed the words 'told you, jackass' to Minoru and didn't respond. He didn't want to turn around and have Izumi gasp, Tomoki get worked up, Kouji and Kouichi get wide-eyed, and Junpei say 'it was bound to happen'. That is, if they recognized him at all.

"Hey, you! You better answer the question, especially after you got fresh with me in the elevator!" Izumi cried. Takuya could practically feel Izumi put her hands on her hips. After she said this an outburst suddenly erupted.

"What?!"

"What makes you think you can do that?!"

"You sick jerk!"

"Try that again and I'll kill you!"

"Asshole...."

"Sicko!"

'These...people...are your friends?'

Takuya looked Minoru in an 'I-can't-believe-it-either' sort of way. When they continued to shout, he got fed up. He balled his hand into fists and turned, glaring dangerously. The shouts immediately stopped.

"YOU!!" Takuya pointed at Izumi. "YOU ARE NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN SINCE MY 'GETTING FRESH' SAVED YOUR LIFE!! AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, YELL AT ME AGAIN AND I'LL KICK YOU ASS WORSE THEN THE OTHER GUY, GOT IT?!!"

Takuya tried to stop himself, but he couldn't help it. All the rage he had built up today was thrown out of him with incredible force. A force that wasn't normal, wasn't human.

"So. We meet again."

Takuya turned to see a black train with red eyes on the side surrounded by yellow rings.

"DarkTrailmon...."

"It's the same as last time. It's a one-way ticket, kid. You sure you want to come?"

Takuya turned to his friends. He turned away from them...and boarded the train.

'As always, I'm coming with you. You hard-headed, narrow-minded, dumbass....' Minoru added the last part softly, but not so much that Takuya couldn't hear. The doors hissed shut after Minoru, as slowly backed out of the railway.

Takuya opened a window so the glass disappeared into the wall and sat on the edge, legs dangling out of the train. He saluted his friends as he slowly moved away from them. Judging from their looks, they still hadn't made the connection of who he was.

"Hey! I'll meet you at Seraphimon's castle! Or Patamon's castle, actually! Can't wait to see Agnimon and Vritramon again!" He saluted once more as realization crept onto their faces. He swung his legs back into the train and threw himself in a seat.

'Well, now they know who you are.' Minoru said, standing in the middle of the train with his arms crossed. He looked thoughtful as he investigated his surroundings. He sighed, then smiled lightly at Takuya.

'Well, let's see what 'kinda shit you get us into this time, eh?'

Takuya smiled back at Minoru.

"You got it, ghost-boy!"

'I'm a spirit!'

"What's the difference? You both stalk the same."

'I don't stalk you! It's the Gods fault I'm STUCK with you! Get your facts right, you girly bastard.'

"Girly?! Who's the one with the feminine face, eh? Not to mention you walk like a girl too. Or prance to be accurate."

'PRANCE?!'

Kitsu-Chan: Heh-heh...they fight like that, but they really are good friends. Sorry if the past two chapters seem short, they're both only four pages. I wanted suspense! ¤smiles with sweatdrop¤

Minoru: Now get on to the third chapter. No more slacking off for you! You could have finished chapters 3,4,&5 in the time that you were reading Demon Diary!

Kitsu-Chan: Back off Demon Diary before I keyboard your sorry ass.

Minoru: Whatever, just get working on chapter three.

Kitsu-Chan: ¤sweatdrop¤ I, erm, can't. Heh...heh?

Minoru: WHAT?!

Kitsu-Chan: I'm sorry! I'll get working on it first thing tomorrow okay?

Minoru: You better....

Kitsu-Chan: Well, second thing.

Minoru: SECOND?!

Kitsu-Chan: But my friend came back from North Carolina today and I didn't know what time her flight came in, so I'm gonna call her tomorrow! I haven't seen her in like, two months! Plus the month of Summer before she left! I really want to call her! I promise I'll work on it after I call her, okay? ¤starts to cry¤

Minoru: Eh-ge-dooooooon't cryyyyyyyy....Fine work on it tomorrow.

Kitsu-Chan: Thank you!

Minoru: Yeah, yeah....leaves

Kitsu-Chan: ¤no longer crying¤ Heh-heh-heh....suckerrrr. Review please!
