xxxxxxxxxxDon't Bother Me When I Kiss Yamato!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
from Shadow Dreamer (RocketLaura@aol.com)

Well here's the chapter then..


A violent wind whistled as it passed through the trees. It was so strong it almost blew me off my feet!! Thunder and lightning danced in the skies, and vast amounts of rain stung my eyes.

"Ow! that hurts!" I wailed, turning towards the blonde beside me. "Whose idea WAS this, anyway?"

I frowned as Yamato laughed at me. "It was your idea, Taichi!" he giggled, seemingly not phased by the rain.

"It's really not that bad, 'Nii-chan." Hikari assured me from my other side.

"NOT THAT BAD!?!" I exclaimed. "It's horrible!! We're trapped in the Digital World when it's RAINING!" It was bad, honest!! You never know what'll happen. Storms in the Digital World are unpredictable. And besides, I had been hoping, when suggesting that we visit, that I'd be able to spend some time alone with Yama for a while!

"We're not trapped, Taichi. It's just hard to find a TV set in the rain, that's all. There's a difference." Takeru's voice interrupted my thoughts. Damn you, Takeru! It's not every day I get to plan out a perfect way to finally kiss my Yama-chan!

"Gee, I hope Daisuke and Ken are all right." Yamato said suddenly from behind. I couldn't help feeling just a bit jealous. I mean here we are, in a perhaps life threatening situation, and he says nothing about me and worries about Daisuke and Ken!

I let out a little sigh unintentionally. I shouldn't be jealous, I know that. I just love Yamato that's all. And I STILL haven't gotten to kiss him yet.

Yamato turned to me then. "Are you okay, Taichi?" he asks me, a look of concern on his face.

My heart flutters. I want so much to kiss him right then and there.. but it's not exactly in the right place. I don't mind the rain, but I kind of want to do it in private!

"Yeah, I'm okay, I just don't like storms." I told him. It's not a complete lie. I really don't like storms. I just left a little part of it out that's all.

To my delight, Yamato placed an arm reassuringly around my shoulder. "It's going to be okay Taichi. We'll find a cave soon and hang out there."

"Yeah." I told him, leaning into him just a bit more. There's only so much you can do while you're trying to walk at the same time.

Takeru looked back at smiled at us knowingly. I gave him a glare. It's HIS fault that I wasn't able to kiss Yamato last night, after all!! He just saw my look and laughed, and then turned back to Hikari. Now I really wish we'd found Agumon so I could have him give Takeru a nice whack in the head.

In fact, I was thinking about doing that myself, until I became distracted. I felt something squeezing my left hand, and looked to see him holding it tightly, staring at my face. He was smiling. I smiled back and squeezed back too. It might not be such a bad place after all. I mean, the rain has died down just a bit, and the thunder is actually a bit pretty, and the wind is whistling like music...

Wrapping my other arm around Yamato, I pulled him closer to me. In response, he let go of my hand and wrapped both of his arms around my waist. "This is it." I thought excitedly. I'm finally going to do it. I can already feel his warm breath on my face. We're that close. I swallow down the nervous lump in my throat. I love Yamato, I love him, and this is finally it, I can't be feeling nervous...

As I lean down towards him, he leans up towards me, and our lips are almost touching...

"TAICHI!!! 'NII-CHAN!! WE FOUND A CAVE!!" Takeru's shout surprises Yamato, and he makes a little jump, turning away from me. Damn! I cursed. One of these days I'm going to KILL Takeru for this. I really will.

Sighing, I quickly follow my love as he runs off to his brother and Hikari. My hopes quickly rise as I see the inside of the cave, however.

It's kind of split up. Maybe there's a good little secluded area in here where I will FINALLY kiss him. And I WILL kiss him tonight, no matter what.

All four of us immediately inspected the cave for anything really dangerous. Subconscious reaction to all of our months spent here, I guess.

It looked safe enough, though. There was nothing in that cave that could fall down and hit one of us. So the four of us sat down to wait for the storm to subside. Hikari whipped out a deck of cards and she and Takeru began to play some American card game. I believe they called it Rummy 500. Or maybe it was Gin... ah, who knows, who cares. The important thing it that Yamato and I have some time to ourselves now...

I moved over to him, as he was sitting alone. I sighed a little. Typical him. "Hey Yama." I greeted. And I'm the only one who's allowed to call him that, by the way. "What do you want to do?"

He shrugs at me. "Whatever." Then he places his head back on his knees and stares out of the cave, returning to whatever thoughts he was in before I interrupted them. Sometimes it worries me that he thinks so much. He gets so deep into his thoughts. It's really kind of scary. Well it can be annoying to, but it's scarier than it is annoying. I'm going to lose him to whatever he thinks about one day, I think. I'm not exactly sure what goes on in his mind, but it can't be pretty. I've learned that much.

And old experience has taught me that Yamato+angsty thoughts+bad storm in Digital World=very bad situation. I'll do whatever I can to change that.

"Well don't just sit around and do nothing!! You're leaving me alone!" I whined at him, knowing that it would snap him out of angst world, at least. And I was right, it worked. He turned to me and sighs, and says, "I wasn't doing nothing, Taichi. I was thinking..." "Thinking, doing nothing, same difference." I joked at him. I also don't like him like this because he looks unhappy. And I don't want my Yama-chan unhappy.

It hurts me to see him unhappy, and after all, it does no good to kiss a person when they're unhappy. The first time, anyway.

Or then again, maybe if I kiss him, it'll cheer him up. That makes sense, right? And it will, at the very least, get him out of angst world. Which I despise with a passion for always taking my Yama away from me.

I decide to start slow, however, so I don't alarm him or surprise him too much. I begin with the obvious: I scoot closer to him and place and arm around his shoulder. "Come on; tell me what's wrong..." I coax. "Nothing." He tells me, although he rests his head on my shoulder. "I know when you're lying, Yama." He should know that by now, you know. I've told him that over and over again. And he still fails to take a hint.

He buries his face in my neck, and I know right then and there that something's wrong. Or maybe I'm just not used to him showing such a public display of affection. Either way. In return I rest my chin on his hair. It's really soft, you know. He takes such good of his hair. It's soft and fluffy and... it's got something that I can't quite describe.

For a moment we're surrounded in almost silence, the only noises being the rain pounding the ground outside and the occasionally sounds of playing cards. It's that moment that I'm surrounded in complete bliss, just sitting here with Yamato in my arms...



"It's the perfect moment..." my brain registers. And who am I to disagree? It makes sense to me, and anyway... Yamato is smiling up at me anyway...

I lift my chin off of his hair and gently lift his face off of my shoulder, placing my arms around him. "Taichi...I love you..." he whispers, and smiling, I nod back at him. Then he leans up towards me again and I lean down towards him, and my body shivers a little in anticipation. Then it's it, our lips are slightly touching, and I begin to deepen the kiss...

"TAICHI!!!"



My eyes snap open and I look around. Wait... wasn't I just kissing Yamato? Then I see that Yamato's no longer in my arms, he's besides me, and I'm lying down on the floor. "It was just a dream." I resolve silently, disappointed. "What is it?" I ask, maybe just a bit too obvious, still disappointed about my dream.

Yamato tells me, "The storm stopped. We should go and find Daisuke and Ken and our Digimon." I can only nod at him and get up, walking over to Hikari and Takeru. I think even nature is against me kissing Yamato or something.

What? Don't give me that look!! A dream is better than nothing I suppose, and when I woke up, if it was still raining, I would have been encouraged...

Yamato turns to me and smiles a little as we begin to walk out of the cave. "Thank you..." he says a little. And I nod, although I have no idea what he's thanking me for. Comforting him, I guess. I go to just wrap an arm around his shoulder when he yelps and we have to jump away to avoid a branch that's falling off of a tree. I grit my teeth and rapidly walk forward. I can't even have a slightly romantic moment with him without something interrupting!!

I go to try again and embrace the air, and then I see that Yamato's ahead of me, along with Hikari and Takeru, calling Daisuke and Ken's names. For the millionth time that night, I let out a sigh.

"Just what in hell did I do to deserve this?"

tsuzuku...


Okay, there it is. Sorry if it's too long, and I hope you like it!
