Perfect World
KirbsterMK: Yes, yes, I know some of you are wondering why I'm back. Well, I've been thinking for the past few days, and I've decided that the one-shot is incomplete . . . because we don't know what Kouji's thinking!! The whole thing seem to be full of holes, like my memory . . . XD So, now, I'm going to fill in these holes!
Mmm . . . Not much else to say . . . Oh, I DON'T OWN ANYTHING IN THIS STORY EXCEPT FOR THE PLOT!! . . . Which there isn't much of, but, oh well. XD
NOTE: This is the second chapter, which I hadn't even planned on writing until a few days ago . . . so . . . I hope you enjoy this second installment. After this, though, I don't think I'll have any more chapters to add on. Title still sucks . . . XD Flames will be poked at, pointed at, and laughed at, because those who have time to read the story and then review it with a pointless flame must not have very much of a life.
Reply to Reviews-
Rebecca Lyn- Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Kouji Kun- Of course Takuya had to go through all of that!! I must make all of my favorite characters go through pain . . . Mwahahaha . . . XD And a sequel . . . Maybe . . . This is kinda close to a sequel.
Takuya- I'm glad you liked it, too!!
I'm actually amazed I got reviews on this . . . O.o Thank you, guys!! You're so nice.
Summary- [Digimon Frontiers] The group has gone against a Digimon who's out to kill them all, and with most of them unconscious, and all but on D-Tector smashed to bits, Takuya is the only one who is able to save them. But will an injured Kouji allow him to sacrifice himself?
Perfect World
Kouji-
"KOUJI!!!" I flew back, and landed on the ground as I de-digivolved back to a human. At first, I had thought it was Kouichi yelling my name, but quickly remembering that he had been knocked unconscious with the others, I recognized the voice as Takuya's. I rolled onto my side, and held my right leg tightly. I thought it was broken at first, but after a while I figured I had only pulled a muscle or something like that. Damn, it hurt though. And my ponytail holder had snapped . . . Shit . . .
I subconsciously reached for my D-Tector, when I landed on the ground, but after feeling each of my pockets I discovered it wasn't there. I sat up slowly, and looked around, finally finding my D-Tector in at least five different pieces on the ground, next to the Digimon I had previously tried tackling. Shit! How was I supposed to digivolve without my D-Tector?! Oh well . . . If we survived this battle, we could get it fixed, I'm sure . . .
Speaking of Kouichi, I looked over to where he was lying on the ground, passed out next to the other four. They had been knocked out a while ago when the battle had just begun, their D-Tectors meeting the same fate mine had.
This stupid wolf look-a-like that called himself a Digimon was the cause of all this. I swear, what is it with evil Digimon?? It's like they all have the same minds! Don't they have one original idea in their head??
"WILDFIRE TSUNAMI!!!" I heard Takuya yell, and I quickly turned to see his attack hit the wolf-Digimon, but he didn't give an inch. He just stood there and took the attack.
I heard him chuckle, but I only heard a few murmurs of what he was saying. Takuya replied, but I only caught the end of his statement, " . . . fight's with me, and me only!"
The wolf-Digimon leapt for Takuya (Or BurningGreymon, I'm not picky), and grabbed onto his shoulder with his teeth. Takuya's knees had almost given in, but he quickly stood up straight. He swung his shoulder to swing the wolf off, but it didn't work. Instead, he bit harder, causing blood to flow and Takuya to cry out softly.
I clenched my hand into a fist, wishing I could help, but with an injured leg, bruises all over, and being unable to Digivolve back in KendoGarurumon, I would only be in the way.
The wolf-Digimon pulled away from Takuya by pushing against the flame-Digimon's body with his powerful legs, taking a good amount of flesh off of his shoulder. Blood continued to flow as the wolf-Digimon repeatedly slashed, rammed, bit at Takuya, finally kicking out with his back legs again and sending Takuya flying backwards as he de-digivolved, landing not too far from me.
I crawled as carefully as I could over to Takuya, so as to not injure my leg anymore. "Takuya, are you okay?" I crawled behind him, and began to check his wounds.
He nodded his head. Doing a quick check-up, he seemed to be okay . . . except for all the blood he was losing from his left shoulder where the wolf-Digimon had bitten him. I touched it as gently as I could, yet it still caused him to hiss in pain.
I sighed as he looked over to the wolf-Digimon again. He wasn't planning on fighting still, was he? Damn, he could get himself killed! I was suddenly starting to feel afraid . . .
Takuya started to stand up, but without thinking, I pulled him back down. "Don't move." I said, trying to be as harsh as I could. I don't think I sounded very convincing, "You're losing too much blood. If you get up too fast, you'll get a head rush, and if you don't take care of yourself, you could faint, and maybe di-die . . ." My voice broke at the last word. Curse my damn emotions! A lone tear escaped, and I struggled to keep the rest where they were, but it was a losing battle. I stopped checking over the rest of his wounds as I tried wiping away the tears.
"Kouji, I have to go back and fight! I'm the only one who's conscious and can still walk!"
I ignored him, reaching up behind my head, and started undoing my bandana, "Will you ever stop being so reckless??" I asked, trying to change the subject. Tears continued to fight their way down my cheeks as I brought my blue and brown-striped bandana down to Takuya's shoulder as softly as I could, wrapping it tightly around the shoulder-wound to try and stop the bleeding. My favorite piece of cloth quickly turned reddish-maroonish . . .
"Kouji . . . I need to go! Unless you're going to try and . . ." he stopped suddenly, and instead stood up. His eyes suddenly opened wide, and I guessed a head-rush had come to him just as I had predicted. I took this chance to pull out his legs from under him, and flip him onto his back, pinning him to the ground.
"No. You're not going. Takuya, you can't get yourself killed. I won't let you. Not while I'm alive. I don't want you to die." My voice had suddenly become strong, and 'laying-down-the-law'-like, just how I wanted it to be, despite the tears that had escaped. I couldn't keep these feelings in anymore, it was killing me inside . . . "P-please, Takuya-chan . . . I love you."
He laid there, blinking several times. I turned my head to look at the ground beside him as he thought about what I had just said. God, how was he going to react??
"Kouji, I'm going. You're not going to stop me by saying that. I'm going to fight this bastard and win, whether I live or die. And if I die, I'll die protecting my friends."
He got up too quickly, and turned to face the wolf-Digimon again. He . . . didn't believe me? How could he not?! All the rest of the group could see right through my damn disguise! How was it that he could be so ignorant?!
"Would I lie to you?" I said, nearly sobbing it out, (Damn the stone wall around my emotions suddenly breaking!) in a dangerously low voice, narrowing my eyes in hurt and slight anger. He stopped in mid-step. He was frozen in . . . surprise? Anger? Worry?
He turned to look at me. "Would I—lie—to you . . .?" I repeated my question, this time, without the sobbing, and in a slightly stronger voice.
He stood there, apparently not knowing how to respond to my almost-impromptu question. If he wasn't going to answer me by himself, I was going to punch it out of him . . . But as I stood up, I walked two steps and almost instantly went back down when my right leg gave out on me. Before I hit the ground, Takuya caught me, landing on his knees.
A breeze picked up from my left as Takuya wiped away a few of the tears on my cheek. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling myself up in order to whisper in his ear, "I do love you, Takuya . . . I always have . . . But I never knew how much until now . . . Please, don't do this . . ." I felt Takuya gently hugging me back, then pulled away from me, holding me at an arm's length away from him. I looked into his brown eyes, filled with concern, trust, and . . . love?
Before I could even think about it, Takuya leaned down and kissed me lightly on the lips. But I didn't give him the chance to pull away, and came back with a deeper one, pressing my body against his. He returned it, much to my happiness.
But he eventually broke the kiss, knowing that I hadn't had enough, but looked at me fully. "I have to do this, Kouji . . ."
I couldn't do anything before he got up again, facing the wolf-Digimon who had been pretty much forgotten by me by this time. He had just . . . stared at us the whole time . . . Well, screw him, my boyfriend was more important than a fight with some stupid, evil, unoriginal Digimon . . . Wait, boyfriend? I dunno . . . Hopefully.
Takuya limped, swaying slightly, as he walked towards the wolf-Digimon until there were only a few feet between them. They quickly exchanged words, then for a minute, they were silent . . . Until Takuya took a small step back.
"Takuya?!" I called out to him. He didn't respond, "Takuya!" He still didn't give me any sign that he had heard me . . . And suddenly, a war cry came from behind me. I snapped my head around to see hundreds (literally) of Digimon running towards us. A bright light orb just barely missed me, and went straight for the wolf. As I followed the light attack, I saw Takuya begin to fall to the ground.
"TAKUYA, NO!" Explosion began going off as the several groups of Digimon went passed me to go fight the wolf-Digimon, and I recognized most of them as Digimon we all had helped earlier in our journey. I quickly stood up, and ran/limped as fast as I could to Takuya, but I only got about three-quarters of the way there before I fell. "Shhhhhhit . . ." I moaned as I army-crawled over to Takuya, who was lying in a small pool of blood around him.
I took a hold of his hand in mine as I sat up, looking into his deep, chocolate brown eyes. "Takuya, are you all right?"
His eyes began closing slowly, and I could see him fighting to keep them open. "Kouji . . . I love you . . . too . . ." I saw a ghost of a grin on his face, before his eyes closed and his head fell to the side.
"Takuya?! Takuya, no, wake up! Don't leave me, please, wake up! Wake up! Wake up . . .!"
…………………………………………….
"Takuya . . . Wake up! Come on, wake up!!" I paused for a minute, then . . . "WAKE UP, TAKU-CHAN!!!"
Takuya nearly jumped up, and faced me as he blinked his pretty brown eyes. He looked at the clock, pouted, and groaned.
"Kouji . . ." He whined, "It's only five o'clock . . . And it's Sunday . . . Don't you have anything better to do, like make breakfast, or something??" He rolled back onto his stomach, slamming the pillow onto his head.
"Nope, it's your turn to make breakfast today. Besides, your parents and brother went to go get a few things from the store, so they won't be back for about half an hour . . ." I knew I was going to have to explain their reason for leaving, but I would leave that to Takuya to decide when.
He raised his pillow cautiously, as if not believing me, and shot me a skeptical look, "My family . . . out to a store . . . at five in the morning?? Seriously now, Kouji . . ."
I guess that explanation was coming now. "I'm serious!!"
He gave me a stern look, "You didn't have anything to do with this, did you?"
I thought over this for a minute. "N . . . Ye . . . No. Except drink all the milk, kept the eggs out of the fridge all night so they would go bad, and . . . hmm . . ." I gave another quick though, "Oh, and dumped the orange juice down the drain." I gave him the biggest grin I could muster. I had changed so much over the last year or two, since we had begun our adventure in the Digital World. I had become quite mischievous, and Takuya and I were considered 'partners in crime' because of the trouble we caused. Well, we needed some alone time, didn't we??
"You devilish little bastard!" He held the same grin on his face.
I bowed my head at the comment, "Thank you for your kind comment. Besides, how else are we supposed to get some alone time??"
Takuya leapt at and tackled me, pinning me to the ground as he kissed me full on the lips. I returned it with all the passion I had in me, rolling over so that I was on top of him. There was no way I was going to allow him to have the seme position that belonged to me.
Right smack in the middle of our kiss, the doorknob began turning, and although I wanted to continue no matter who it was, Takuya had other thoughts and roughly shoved me off of the bed and onto the ground as Shinya walked in.
"Hey, Takuya, Kouji . . ." Shinya started.
"AAIEEE!" I screamed, hitting the floor.
"YES! I WON!" Takuya shouted.
" . . . Store doesn't open until six . . ." Shinya finished.
That all happened within, quite literally, two second, and Shinya raised his eyebrow at me as I pouted up to Takuya. Takuya ended up laughing.
"I'm not going to ask . . ." Takuya brother turned on his heel, and walked out of the room.
I shook my head without Takuya noticing. Shinya obviously knew about us being together by now . . . Either he had figured it out by himself, or he had heard from Tomoki, because after Kouichi found out, everyone caught on. It wasn't much of a secret any more, except to our parents.
"Won't be back for half an hour, huh??" Takuya turned to me.
"Okay, so it's my fault the store doesn't open until six? And you didn't have to kick me in the stomach so hard . . ." I pouted, giving him my best 'puppy-eyes' look.
He laughed, nervously this time. "Sorry 'bout that, Kou-chan, I kinda freaked." Kinda? . . . Kinda?! More like totally . . . "Hey, Kouji?"
"Hmm?" I climbed back up on the bed.
"Do you remember the first time you told me that you loved me? And I didn't believe you at first?" Of course I did! How could I forget? I had nearly lost him that night . . . if it hadn't been for his wounds healing so quickly, he would've lost too much blood to survive! Damn, just thinking about that day still scared the shit out of me . . .
"You mean . . . in the Digital World??"
"Yeah . . ."
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Whatever happened to the wolf-Digimon? I never got to ask." Wait . . . what? Of course he asked! . . . Well, he had been semi-conscious when I told him . . . maybe he forgot . . .
"A bunch of other Digimon who we had helped in the past came to save your lame ass." I smirked, "All of them."
"Really?"
"Yep! It would've been an awesome battle to watch, but you had to go and faint and scare me half to death."
He shook his head, laughing lightly, "Same old Kouji . . . Ya know, I'm glad you let people know what you're feeling now. It makes everything seem less complicated." He gave me a warm smile.
I returned it, "Yeah, I'm happy about that, too . . . But you wanna know what else I'm happy about?"
"What?"
"You."
I finished the word, and kissed him, closing my eyes. And right then, and only then, did I figure out the whole world was suddenly on my side, everything was going right, everything was . . . perfect. I've finally found my perfect world at last.
