Disclaimer: I do NOT own Digimon Frontier. Though that would be very nice.

Warnings: This IS a Takouji fanfic. Do not flame me if you don't like it, for it's not my problem if you chose to read it after I have warned you. As for the flaming goes. I think only positives and ideas should really be said in the review section. I'm not putting my stories up to be insulted. I believe other authors would agree…

Summary: Minamoto Kouji has had his heart broken so many times he is scared to open it up to others. After his parents die in a plane crash and he is forced to move in with his real mother and twin brother, he must slowly learn how to trust others and feel what he has forgotten long ago. But finding a way into Kouji's heart is harder then it looks, as Kanbara Takuya quickly finds out.

I would like to thank everyone for his or her reviews. I'm glad a lot of you liked the third chapter and I seem to be updating chapter four a lot sooner then expected. I think maybe the Fourth of July has something to do with my sudden energy.

KellyQ I'm glad you liked the chapter and hope this one is enjoyable as well. I appreciate your comment.

Airkid Hehe. I think Kouji might have to take a long nap to try to figure out the events of today. Glad you like my fanfic so far and hope you continue to like it.

Silver Shadow I know! I love the double personality I gave Takuya. It will be expressed a lot more later when a certain someone decides to give a surprise visit to Kouji.

TALA MINE-TALA HOT Glad ya like it. And interesting name.

Now. I believe I owe everyone the next chapter. Here is chapter Four! Be Warned! The Drama teacher is creepy!

Chapter Four

Acting, Imagination, and After School Hang Out?

Kouji finally got his schedule changed and preceded with Takuya to the school's drama room. He had to admit, it was a small class, and as Takuya said, lacked the gender known as male… In fact, Takuya and him were the 'only' men. Kouji glances at Takuya and offers a nervous half smile. "I didn't know that you meant… the ratio would be 14:2… after I joined." He states calmly, trying his best to give a good impression.

Takuya smiles; turning slightly red, he whispers, "Well… The others dropped out because they felt acting was stupid…" His grin widens. "Look on the bright side. All the cute girls are in here, right?" He looks down, noting his comment. After all, he doesn't know Kouji's preference, and how it's been so far, no luck on him swinging his way.

Kouji shakes his head slightly. "It's not the girls I'd be interested in, Takuya… It's the grade." He looks around the classroom and watches as all the girls giggle about and chatter while waiting for the teacher to return to the room.

As Kouji glances at one, she smiles, then gives a very seductive lick to her lips causing Kouji to wince at her openness of activity. "Hey there. You must be the new student. You're kind of cute, you know that?" She says as she walks towards him and Takuya.

Kouji shakes his head and looks at Takuya who doesn't seem to be enjoying her advances. He then turns and looks at the girl and smiles. "I've been told that already today."

Takuya feels his cheeks get hot. He did say that, didn't he? He moves his gaze down then up when he hears the door open.

The teacher walks in, carrying a box full of costumes. "We're… Going to role-play today." He finally reaches the center of the room and dumps the contents of the box out. "This will be a great learning experience for all of you who feel uncomfortable with acting." He looks around making sure they grasped the concept and stops when spotting Kouji. "O! What joyous of days that the office bestows us the honor of such a fair new student! And what of your name, my good man!"

Kouji managed a smile of embarrassment, mind you it wasn't himself he was embarrassed of, it was the teacher and the audience he was with. "Um… My name is Minamoto Kouji. Sir..." He says in a muffled voice.

"No! No! That won't do! Minamoto-san! You are not to be called Minamoto Kouji! You! You shall be named Yami no Namida!" The teacher chirps at the thought of the name suiting him.

"Y…Yami no Namida?" Kouji questions. Why the heck would the teacher call him tear of darkness?

"It's a perfect name for you! Please accept it! And you! Baka-neko! You take good care of him!" The teacher snorts, pointing to Takuya.

"Yes… yes… Mirokawa-sensei…" Takuya says under his breath.

Mirokawa-sensei smiles then starts handing out the outfits. "Please just put them on, no need actually changing, just put them over the ones you are already wearing, time is precious and we are running out. Okay! Baka-Neko! You are a want to be knight. Kori, you are the young beautiful maiden. Yami no Namida, you shall be the King. The rest of you shall decide for yourselves."

"Hai!" The class complied and thus all Hell broke loose.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

After the embarrassing class that they called Drama, Baka-Neko and Prince Yami no Namida, are! I mean, Takuya and Kouji headed to their last class of the day. Creative Writing.

Takuya sighs, receiving him a glance from Kouji. Kouji offers him an awkward smile. "So… How did you receive the name 'Baka-Neko' in Drama?" Kouji whispers.

"Tch! My first day in that class, I managed to slip and meow at the same time! Its all FALL; NYA! All at once…" Takuya grumbles. "That teacher drives me nuts…"

"Then why are you in the class?" Kouji asks, trying to clear up the current situation.

Takuya pauses, causing Kouji to stop and stare. "I love acting. I mean… I love soccer more. But I also like acting." He looks up as if he is daydreaming. "I want to be a star both on and off the soccer field, ya know?"

"More like the center of attention." A familiar voice snaps Takuya out of his fantasy.

Takuya whips around, glaring at the person. "Junpei! Must you always be mean to me?"

Junpei began to laugh. "I was just kidding. But it does sound like you want to be the center of attention. But we need to head to class. The others will wonder what took us so long." He begins to walk away and Takuya soon follows. Kouji just watches before realizing that they are his means to finding the next class.

They reach the Creative writing class where the teacher has already laid out their assignment and was happily typing away at her computer. Takuya grips Kouji's arm and drags him to the seat next to his and quickly reads the paper.

"Yes! Round Robin! Hey! Let's all of us do it!" Takuya chirps.

Izumi smiles and pulls out her paper. "Okay. This will be fun. With five people, we might get some very interesting stories." She pauses and looks at Kouji. "You don't mind doing this with us, do you Kouji-kun?"

Kouji quickly shakes his head. "No! I think it should be fine!" He quickly states. He doesn't want to offend any of Kouichi's friends.

Junpei also pulls out paper, handing one to Kouji, Takuya, Kouichi, and himself. "Okay! I'll set my timer to one minute and then we shall all begin!"

Kouichi looks at Kouji and smiles. "Are you enjoying it here?"

"It's okay. It hasn't been as bad as I though it would be. No offence. But I wasn't really looking forward to coming here…" Kouji whispers to Kouichi.

"That's okay. You seem to have changed your mind, even if it was a little." Kouichi states. "Okay! We're ready!"

"BEGIN!" Junpei states as the group begin writing.

Six minutes pass as everyone end their stories. Izumi smiles. "O… I wonder how mine turned out." She says, excited.

"You go first then!" Junpei says, smiling from ear to ear at the thought of Izumi mentioning him in her story.

"Okay! 'Once upon a time in a land full of mystery and magic lived a young girl who was lost! She looked every where in hopes of finding her way home!' 'All of a sudden a giant soccer ball came out and attacked the little lost girl! It devoured her and laughed out a horrible laugh! It then stormed away to find more people to devour! It was the evil-----' 'It was the evil Soccer Devil who went around eating young girls. It tasted for soft flesh and noted that women had the softest. He was near a village when all at once' 'the evil Soccer Devil barged through the town as if it owned the place! It demanded that all the women be lined up in order of skin texture. He would eat them all! He would also ----' 'He would also eat all the pretty men so that the poor women wouldn't be left out. One woman stood out, her blond hair blowing in the wind. She would kill this demon! She was none other then' 'The Princess Izumi! She has heard of this demon and his want for women and bad doings to women! So she attacked and destroyed the demon, and every one lived happily ever after." She laughs. "It was great."

Takuya stood up. "My turn!" He looks around the group, grinning. "'A long time ago, there lived a prince. His name was Yami no Namida! He was a rather lonely prince and wanted to find someone.' 'Now Prince Yami no Namida wasn't looking for just anyone, he wanted someone who could help him, love him, want him. But some one like that never existed. He looks at Baka-Neko (his assistant) and says " I need---' '"I need some body to love." Baka-Neko was taken aback by Prince Yami no Namida's sudden need. He looks around and wonders what to say or' 'do. He instantly thinks of something. Baka-Neko looks at him. "I know! Prince Yami no Namida! I can love you!" ' 'Prince Yami no Namida smiles at Baka-Neko and shakes his head. "But you are a baka-neko? How can you love me?" Baka Neko looks down and ' 'and states. "Love is love milord. See it my way."" Takuya bows. And smiles, then sits down. "That was fun!"

Kouji looks around, realizing everyone is watching him. He stands up and coughs. "Okay… Here goes mine." He looks around again. "The bloody sword fell to the floor as its holder stands in defeat. His enemy, none other the Prince Deliar holds the sword to his throat then slowly makes his round behind him, where he lowers his sword and plants a kiss onto the others neck. "My my Kouru. You lost so easily, I wouldn't of thought that—' 'that you of all people would lose to me so easily." Deliar plants another kiss onto his captive's neck. "You should've listened to me Kouru." He brings his sword back up to Kouru's neck.' 'Kouru winces at the sudden fear of death as the sword got closer to his neck. Not knowing what to do, he stands frozen, as if time stopped around him, his sapphire eyes staring into the unknown as Deliar once again kissed his neck.' 'Deliar then pushes Kouru to the ground and smiles. "It's your turn to chase, my friend. But do not think I will let you go easy next time." ' 'Kouru forces himself up and glares at Deliar. "I don't want to chase you… And quit being easy on me! It's bad for my ego!" Deliar stifles a laugh. "My my, as stubborn as always." ' 'Kouru's glare deepens as he picks up his sword. "Fight me… Kill me this time if you can. Maybe my ego will be improved.". Deliar shakes his head and begins to walk away. "Next time my pet…" " Kouji blushes. "Yeah… That's it…"

Kouichi smiles at his brother. Entertained by his first sentence and the outcome of the story. He then stands up. "My turn, I suppose. 'There once lived this egg keeper. He kept all kinds of eggs, big ones, small ones, spotted ones, plain ones, colored ones… Yeah you get the point. So anyway, he collected eggs. ' 'Those eggs were bound to hatch one day! And what the egg keeper didn't know… that those were stork eggs.' 'The poor storks were always loosing their eggs. And the poor people expecting their children weren't very happy. In fact. They were very sad. Soon… Those eggs began to hatch. The poor Egg keeper panicked. In side each egg was a human baby. And they cried and cried, and cried, and ' 'cried! The egg-keeper never token care of a baby before… And he was stuck with 300 of them! How could this happen to him! He began looking for the storks. ' 'Now when he found the storks, he begged for them to take away the 300 babies and give them happy homes, but they denied…' 'They told him, "Since you stole all of our eggs, you must raise all of them as your own. And so… the egg-keeper died. A very… horrible baby death. THE END!" Kouichi smiled. "I sure hope I don't get stuck in that kind of situation."

"All right! My turn! Best goes last!" Junpei snorts. He hoped his story was as good as how Kouji's turned out. "'There was this girl, who knew this boy, but this boy didn't know her. She felt that they were destined to be. She would give him signs that he'd just walk right by. ' 'She soon got depressed. Why wouldn't he notice her? She did everything she could. She then remembered that he loved lemon pie, so she would bake him a lemon pie!' 'Now… This naïve girl baked a lemon pie and gave it to the guy. Well… She gave it to him in a way she didn't intend. She tripped and the pie flew, right into his face.' 'The guy jumped from his seat and wiped the lemon pie off his face. He looked at the girl in utter disdain. He shakes his head but… then he starts laughing. He didn't know why… Maybe it's because she began to cry.' 'He walks over to her and removes a little bit more of the pie off his face and playfully wipes it on hers. He then licks his fingers and begins to walk away.' 'He then stops and turns. "Is this your way of asking me out?" She smiles and blushes." Junpei sighs. "The end."

"Awe! How cute!" Izumi smiles, liking how that one ended. "You should continue it!"

Kouji looks at the clock. "The bell rings soon, doesn't it?" He says as he looks at Takuya, who was reading his story over and over again. "Why did you use my drama name?"

"Hm?" Takuya looks up at Kouji. "First name that came to head. Sorry if that makes you mad, but I see you had no problem throwing mine in there." He grins.

"No.. I didn't." Kouji stands up and grabs his bag right as the bell rings.

Kouichi looks at Kouji then also stands up. "Hey! Let's all go get some ice cream! My treat!" He latches to Kouji's arm and then Takuya's. "Come come! You too, Junpei! Izumi!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Kouichi walked behind Takuya who has quickly taken the lead. He knew he'd like the idea of having ice cream and not having to pay for it. He looks at Kouji and smiles. Hoping that if he gets to know his friends better, he wouldn't hate it here as much. He then looks at Izumi and Junpei who are walking behind him, she's still telling Junpei to write more to his story.

Kouichi then runs up to walk along side his brother. "Care to tall me about your day?"

Kouji looks at his brother. "It was hell until lunch. Takuya's been helpful too. It's nice having some classes with people you know…"

Kouichi nods. "I have most of my classes with Izumi and Junpei. So I think Takuya will enjoy having you in most of his. Do you feel comfortable around them?"

"Yes… Surprisingly. I didn't at first. But they seem okay." He looks at them as he continues to walks. Takuya slows down to join their conversation, his eyes dark again.

"You had friends where you use to live, didn't you?" Takuya murmurs, not liking the idea of Kouji finding it surprising that he can feel safe around them.

Kouji steps back a little, remembering the last time Takuya's eyes were like that. "Yes… Well… They weren't exactly friends, I guess. Not technically trust worthy." He pauses. Not to sure if he should even be saying this.

"Please don't feel that way around us… We all care for each other, Kouji." Takuya turns and smiles. "I hate people not feeling comfortable around me. It hurts my feelings!"

Kouji nods, once again confused.

They finally reached the Ice-Cream Parlor where Takuya quickly dragged Kouji to see all the flavors and pointing out which ones he likes the best. Kouichi slowly made his way over to them. "Let him make his own choice, okay Takuya?" Kouichi says playfully, causing an involuntary pout from Takuya.

Kouji smiles faintly. "I… I don't really care for ice-cream." He says quietly. Kouichi looks at him but smiles. "Sorry…"

"Don't be. Then we can get you something when we go home, okay?" Kouichi says, still smiling. "Besides. Takuya would eat your share…"

Takuya smiles widely. "I can't help it!"

Junpei laughs. "I just wonder where he keeps it all." The comment causes Izumi to laugh.

Kouichi, Takuya, Junpei, and Izumi all get their ice-cream then sit at one of the tables outside, Kouji follows so that he can listen to whatever they have to say. Maybe he can learn something about them.

And learn he did. He found out that Junpei, despite his rude and witty comments, is actually quite sensitive, and Izumi, looking to be some kind of classy prep, was actually a kind and loving person. He also found out that Takuya was captain of the soccer team and that Kouichi, despite his very frail look was a member of the Kendo club. He was starting to feel a sense of clarity around them. But that wasn't going to change the fact that he needs to be careful, no matter how they look or act…

He was already deceived… And he will be deceived no more.

A/N Wow! That turned out longer then I thought it would. Hehe. I love the stories that were written. And no one commented on Kouji's Shonen ai! HAH! It's Takuya's fault that they don't care. He's converted all of them into acceptance of it.

Oh!

Round Robin- A writing game where a group of people, normally four, would all start out with a blank piece of paper. They would begin to write a story for a minute then pass it clockwise. ((All of them started the story)) They continue adding to the story each writing for a minute before passing and only being able to read what the last person wrote. The story goes around once and once is returned to the person who started it, they write the ending.

It's very fun, everyone should try it It might go as other names, but I was taught it in my English class and we called it Round Robin.

R&R please!
