Shitza: Lately I've been a lot into Digimon Frontier, haven't I? First Yin and Yang Love and now this. One more Takouji One-Shot. This time I thought I could add myself into the beginning and end of the fic… to bad you couldn't know these guys in real life, but oh well. Better separate anime from reality. I'm weird; I know I'm weird.
You also get some very funny MSN facts about me. Fun, isn't it to know the facts of the author?

When the Autumn Winds Blow
(On MSN)
Shitza: So Wolfguy, when are you going to tell him?
Wolfguy: Who told you to dig into my love life, screw it!
Shitza: That's not a way to treat a lady, cool it okay! I'm just asking. I'm not a psychologist, ok!
Wolfguy: I know, sorry… It's just how do you tell a guy you love him? It's not that simple.
Shitza: If you're asking for love tips, sorry, can't help. You're asking the wrong girl.
Wolfguy: Didn't ask for your help you know.
Shitza. Sure, you did sound like you where. Would love to stay and chat for longer but my parents are leaving for our summer cottage, dad's got the car going. GTG, see you Kouji. I want a full report when I get back.
Wolfguy: Oh, sure you'll get one. You're nosing in too much.
Shitza: Am not, you are slowing me down. See you on Monday, bye!
Wolfguy: Bye!
Shitza has logged out.
Kouji sighed. It was 4pm in the afternoon on an ordinary Saturday afternoon. He growled, he's been chatting with this girl for to say, three months and she was already growing on his nerves. She was nice, but he felt like she tried to push him into telling his secret crush what his heart wanted. He barely knew this girl, so why had he ever mentioned being in love? He had no idea, he had done so and that was probably one of his biggest mistakes ever.
He sighed yet again shutting down his computer. He had a meeting with the other digidestined as well in the park later. Five years had gone since they had been on that adventure and it all simply felt like a dream these days. They had all gone in such different ways. Izumi trained to be a flight attendant; at least that was what she said she wanted to be. The blonde girl already knew several languages and she love flying. Junpei was dreaming of working at a big company, the oldest digidestined loved to fix with electric things. He fixed all of their stuff and he did a great job doing so. Tomoki, who was fourteen now, and he had started both snowboarding and skiing, whenever the snow lay thick on the hills. It scared hell out of them as he zoomed pass sending waves of snow at them. But the little fellow enjoyed it. Kouichi, his brother, thought about becoming an author and to write down their adventures. He kept on taking notes about everyone's personal adventure, for they did not all do the same. Takuya, his best friend, wanted to be a fireman. The others didn't find this strange as nothing could stop the young teen from doing what he wanted, no matter what it was.
And what about him, what he did want? He had no clue, no more then he wanted to feel loved. Something he didn't when especially his father was never home, his stepmother fuzzed over the new baby, Koumori, a little girl. The name Koumori had made everyone laugh as it meant bat and whenever they passed the little girl they all flapped their hands imitating wings.
The only person that he felt loved by where the people that weren't under this roof. His mother, who loved both of her sons and his brother, which he shared a special bond with. Sometimes he cursed this bond, for twins could feel each other's thoughts clearer then any normal bond. Kouji sighed and got up. His hair was a mess; it usually knotted five times a day making him take a hairbrush with him even to school. Guys teased him for looking like a girl but he hated when his hair got messy. It would take him hours if he would have to tie up all knots when he got home.
The brush glided through his hair as he watched himself in a huge mirror he had in his room. A sixteen-year-old teen stared back at him. His eyes were blue, shifting slightly in grey. His hair was black, shifting blue as well if you looked closer. He wore a yellow shirt, jeans and a blue sport jacket. He hated the school uniforms they wore, so he made sure he had changed back whenever he got home.
The doorbell rang. He quickly tied his hair back and put the hairbrush into a backpack. Today would be a picnic in the park, which would feel like holiday after the rough days of homework. He tied his old bandanna back and walked downstairs. The doorbell rang again.
"I'm coming!" he said annoyed.
He opened the door to see his twin brother outside. Kouichi hadn't changed much. He still had his hair cut shoulder length; he wore a green jacket over a red long-sleeved shirt and grey pants. Their mother often complained about the way he dressed. Kouji playfully nicked the blue cap on his brother's head further down over Kouichi's eyes. The older twin complained saying he didn't even touch Kouji's bandanna, so why did he always have to play around with his cap? Kouji smirked at this and proceeded to walk. His brother followed him, putting his cap in place again. The two of them walked in silence, words weren't spoken unless they knew no one would be able to listen. They liked to keep their conversations to themselves.
The quickly walked some streets towards the park where they could see some other known faces appear running towards them. One of them being Tomoki who rushed to hug them. The youngest of them were very much a huggable person of himself very annoying to Kouji, okay to Kouichi. After him came Junpei who had sense enough with the traditional handshake instead of a hug.
Tomoki had grown very much in the passing five years that he almost reached their length, but not really yet. Junpei didn't grow anymore but he had at least gone slightly thinner and had stopped stuffing chocolate into him. The four boys stopped and talked for several minutes before they could here two more voices. One of them coming from a guy and one from a girl.
"Takuya, you stupid idiota! (Idiot) We are late! Hurry up!" the female voice shouted making other heads turn.
Izumi walked, or rather stomped pushing a very annoyed teen forward. Takuya was being squashed under the weight of a huge basket of food. At least things made some sense since Izumi was still horrible with packing.
Takuya finally stumbled up to them, the basket falling to the ground with a soundly thump. Takuya breathed heavily as Izumi checked everything was all right. The others shook their heads as Kouji and Kouichi helped the brunette to stand up again.
"At least I got some work out, but Izumi, next time make sure you don't pack the whole house. When I said I could carry the food I didn't mean I would carry a house." He said. Izumi simply snorted. Junpei too the casket and he too had problems. The casket was big and it wondered them Takuya had been able to carry it. After a while though they did understand how much the teen had suffered as he stood a little bent, his back all sore. Kouichi accidentally poked him on the back and from the sound coming from him he did have problems. Kouji glared at Izumi, something she did not notice. If looks could kill she would have burned into a crisp five times over.
The reached a clearing a bit deeper into the park, where not many people visited. Junpei happily put the huge casket to the ground and proceeded by taking some steady deep breaths, leaning to a tree. Tommy was laughing and Kouichi smiling. Kouji looked over at Takuya who smiled back at him. The youngest twin took of his backpack; really he had expected something like this ever since Takuya had said he would help the girl. He took out several lotions he had snatched from home. Takuya's eyes were shining with thankfulness as he took of his shirt allowing Kouji to smoother his skin with some. Kouji tried to ignore the tingling feeling in his hands and he blushed. It was a good thing Takuya had his head turned the other way.
He had no idea really what burned deep in the brunette's chest and how good this really felt. He didn't even feel the cold winds that had appeared only a week ago now that summer was turning to autumn. Takuya put his shirt on again and said a thank to Kouji, who blushed even redder.
The brunette walked over to Tommy to help the young digidestined with finding all food, like mentioned before Izumi wasn't great at packing and everyone knew that. So finding things could seem impossible. Kouichi walked over to his twin, smiling as well. His head bent closer to Kouji's ear so no one would be able to overhear them.
"You like him don't you?" he said. Kouji winced hearing his twin saying such things. He got up to his feet and proceeded to the other side of the camp. Kouichi smiled and changed language. Since twins are so much closer to each other they develop a special language with each other before they can talk. This language is unique by every pair, though it usually looses function after a few years. Since Kouji and Kouichi hadn't known each other for a few years they had spent some hours together making a new one, which didn't take much time and it left their friends like question marks.
"Don't deny it, you are really cute together!" Kouichi said. Kouji snorted.
"Mind you own business Kouichi, whatever I feel for people is not your business in any way, understand. Just leave it alone for a change!"
"Can't see why you are so upset, but okay. I don't have to stick my nose into it if that's what you really wish." Kouichi responded ending the subject. Kouji leaned back to a tree watching as the picnic slowly revealed before them with heaps of sandwiches, fruit, riceballs, sushi and much more. They all sat down. Kouji sat between Kouichi, at his right, Takuya, at his left. Beside Takuya was Tommy, Junpei, Izumi before returning to Kouichi closing the circle. The six teens ate together among a lot of laughter, jokes and memories. At times like this people got really hyper and they talked a lot about their adventures in the digital world. Izumi reminded Takuya he still hadn't had his date with her, and after a lot of wincing from Takuya Izumi laughed saying it was okay since she had lost interest years ago. Kouji couldn't stop feeling relieved over this. Kouichi said something in their secret language and next second Kouji was tickling him. Everyone stared at the twins with amused grins and the small fight erupted into a big ticklish game.
But no matter all the fun the sun slowly set and people had to get back home. Tommy was first to leave, well he was the youngest. Izumi and Junpei excused themselves saying they had tests coming and they wanted to be prepared. Junpei once more had to carry the big casket, yet this time there was no worries as most of the food was gone. Kouichi also left, he had told them earlier about his and Kouji's mum getting a new boyfriend and the oldest twin did not trust this guy. Kouji nodded and Kouichi left only leaving Kouji and Takuya alone.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. The wind rustled in the trees sending shivers down their spines. Not thinking about it they moved closer to each other. The sky darkened and the rain started to pour down.
"Let's get to my house, it's nearest!" Takuya said starting to run. Kouji followed him through the park, pass the houses and streets towards Takuya's new home. The brunette had moved out from their apartment two years back, closer to where Kouji and Izumi lived.
The brunette hurried to open the door letting them in. Kouji wrinkled the water from his hair making a pool on the floor.
"Mum, I'm home!" Takuya said. The brunette took of his shoes and jacket and hurried into the kitchen. He returned almost immediately. "No one seems to be home… of course, the opera! Mum and dad went to the opera an Shinya's over at a friend. Looks like we're both alone tonight."
Kouji smiled. He took of his own jacket as well and then took a warm shower. His clothes were as soak as his hair, so the two of them went to get something new to put on. Kouji borrowed clothes from Takuya. He wore a black shirt and pants. His hair was loose to let it dry. Takuya wore much the same.
Kouji called back to his house saying were he was. His stepmother answered saying it was okay, she didn't want him to catch a cold.
The two teens ate dinner together, meaning they made some ramen, none of them were any good at cooking. They proceeded watching some television, zapping through the channels. Takuya looked bored and Kouji could understand why. The brunette was always energetic and outside. Sitting inside as the rain poured down was nothing of what he dreamed of. Kouji sighed. Slowly he moved his hand to Takuya's shoulder. The brunette turned his head and smiled back. Somewhere the clocks stroke eleven.
"Maybe we should go to bed?" Takuya suggested. Kouji nodded. They walked up to the second floor towards the bedchambers. Takuya's lay by the end of a long hallway away from his mothers and Shinya's bedroom. Not because he preferred to be alone or such, but he had a habit of playing loud music.
"I can sleep on the floor!" Kouji suggested not wanting to budge in too much. Takuya shook his head. "You can sleep with me, I have a big bed anyway." The brunette wasn't wrong about that. His bed easily fit two persons. Kouji blushed slightly but agreed. The two teens got into bed, Takuya nuzzling closer to Kouji taking parts of the other teens warmth. Kouji simply smiled, closing his eyes. Here the two of them lay, their bodies touching each other and yet he didn't have the courage to tell him.
Or, did he…
"Takuya… I have really wanted to tell you this, ever since we came back from the digital world… I love you."
He was so sure that the brunette was asleep, but Takuya opened his eyes sharply.
"Say that again." He said slowly. Kouji swallowed.
"I love you!"
Suddenly a pair of lips found his and to his amazement Takuya was kissing him. Kouji smiled kissing him back. Tears of joy trickled down his face. Takuya wiped them away with his hand as Kouji beamed at him.
"Lets get some sleep, okay love!" Takuya said. Kouji nodded moving even closer to his koi, sealing all gaps between them. Takuya put his arm around Kouji's waist. For him the word love had finally found a meaning.
Outside the rain still fell from the sky, but who cared. Let it rain for weeks, as long as Takuya and he was together. With those thoughts Kouji fell asleep.
(Two days later)
Shitza: So, how did it go? Did you tell him?
Wolfguy: I sure did, thanks for pushing me. I never believed I would thank you for something like this.
Shitza. You're welcome. You're not the first guy I've chatted with being in love.
Wolfguy: Really, then who is the other?
Shitza: You mean the rest of them, can't say. I put a promise to be quiet here. Oh, looks like someone more is on the line. Sorry Kouji, have to go. You know I hate chatting with seven people in one go. Have fun! Bye!
Back in Sweden a second MSN window opened on the small screen.
Flame Boy has signed in.
Flame Boy: What's up Shitza?
Shitza: Nothing peculiar. Don't you have a meeting to attend?
Flame Boy: Soon, chill out. He can wait a little longer. Thanks for the help!
Shitza: hey, don't give things away here. You better hurry, your dear koi will get worried if you don't leave soon.
Flame Boy: Ok, see you! Bye!
Shitza: Bye!
Takuya smiled. Things had gone just as planned. He didn't dare tell Kouji what he and this girl had been planning for some weeks. When Takuya had told him that they expected rain sometime in the late afternoon that Saturday she had given him some ideas, one of them being the picnic. Kouji had no ideas about this, of course he already had known. Whoever this girl was she had given him some hints. Of course, it had been Takuya who had given Kouji the e-mail from the start asking her to keep an eye on things. She gladly agreed, on the condition he would teach her some Japanese. He could not understand what she would use it for, of course he could not understand what she would use all other languages for.
The brunette happily shut down the computer, grabbed his jacket, goggles hat and gloves. Slipped into his shoes before running out to the street. It was a wonderful sunny day, a bit chill now that the autumn really was closing in to them. With a smirk he remember the earlier conversation with Shitza were she had complained about them getting snow in October. He couldn't see what she would be so angry of, he liked snow.
He hurried down the streets towards Kouji's house. Kouji was waiting for him sitting outside the door playing with Wolf, his dog. The happy animal was the first one to notice Takuya's presence and greeted him by a rough tackle. Takuya laughed as the creature continued with licking his face.
"Are you ready to go, you took a while to get here, huh?" Kouji said helping him up. Wolf barked getting hushed by his young master, who scratched him on the ear.
"Sure!" Takuya said happily. The two teens left, leaving Wolf behind. The dog however had other things to think of seeing the neighbour's cat appear. Kouji and Takuya laughed as the cat scooted of up a tree, hissing at the creature under it. Takuya took Kouji's hand as they hurried towards the park, or the bridge by the park. It was their favourite meeting place.
Minutes later they both stood looking don into the water. The wind was coming from north, blowing down a slight chill to their spines. The moved closer, buttoning their jackets. Takuya's hand was in his pocket.
So much had happened through the last two days. The had yet to tell their parents, all though their friends and Shinya already knew. Izumi had told them she thought it was simply adorable. Junpei and Tomoki congratulated them. Kouichi gave his twin a knowing smile. Shinya couldn't help but to tease his brother about it, all though they all knew he himself had a crush on Tomoki.
The wind picked up speed. The leaves rustled and the first of them left the trees, falling down upon the water. Takuya took out a small present from his pocket. Today was Kouji and Kouichi's birthday and he had not forgotten about it. He had thought about this when he and Izumi had been walking in town. It was a Yin Yang symbol. They had bought one each. Izumi planned on giving her to Kouichi while Takuya would give his to Kouji. The brunette smiled as Kouji finally noticed what was happening.
"Happy Birthday koi!" he said.
Kouji's eyes widened as Takuya kissed him. Kouji kissed him back and even if he wasn't sure about it he thought he heard a click go of somewhere. Takuya deepened the kiss for a moment until the annoying thing known as oxygen was needed. The two of them reluctantly let go.
"I love you!" Takuya whispered hugging him close. Kouji hugged him back murmuring the same into his love's ear. Takuya smiled widely.
"Aren't you going to open?" he asked as the present still lay in Kouji's hand unopened. Kouji smiled taking of the wrapping. His eyes widened seeing the pendant. "Thanks" he said looking back with all his love in his eyes. Takuya smiled as Kouji kissed him yet again.
Forever that picture of him and his koi would stand upon the table. Never getting dust for some caring hands always made sure it would be forgotten. The years would pass but why would things turn out for the bad? I don't think they will.
Several copies of the picture was sent to different people. All their friends who had helped. Even one reached by post, together with a marriage invitation. A dark haired girl would have to pack her bags and really practise on her Japanese.
And thus this story has reached its end, I hope the memories won't be forgotten.
Thank you for reading!
The End
