Chapter One: Found him, then Lost him

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

One Month Later

The trailmon moved quickly along the tracks, as his eyes rolled he wasn't in the mood to bring a bunch of passengers to the Autumn Leaf Fair. All he wanted to do was just sleep, which he could do, because he knew the tracks by heart. The only problem was that something was nagging at the back of his mind out of all his passengers that were digimon there was a human. Which would have been normal, except all the humans had gone home after the short time of arriving, so why was that one still here, what was the kids purpose?

He fixed his attention on the track; there still was some distance to go...

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

A pair of red brown eyes looked around the car of the trailmon he was in. He had never seen so many digimon packed into such a small space. Now he felt really out of place, he could always spirit evolve, but with the legendary warriors having a bad name, it probably wasn't a good idea. He sighed as he watched a digimon walk by with a tray of food, as his stomach grumbled. His hand then moved to his pocket, and remembered he had spent all his money already.

After he had escaped the forest and somehow avoiding Grotomon he spent the past month just walking trying to forget his past, and pushing forward. A couple of times a strange dot appeared on the bottom of his D-Scanner, but it vanished quickly as soon as he stowed away on a trailmon.

His stomach growled again when the cart passed by as he closed his eyes. "If you are so hungry why don't you buy something?" Came a voice.

Opening his eyes the boy turned to the digimon that talked to him as the weight of the trailmon shifted as it started going uphill. The digimon was a tall fox type that was mostly yellow with a white chest, hand like paws, and feet, what was strange was the long purple gloves that reached up to the foxes elbows with ying yang symbols on them. "I would if I could afford it." He muttered turning back.

"Then how did you get on the Trailmon." Came the sly response.

There was a pause before he responded. "That is none of your business, now if you don't mind I would like to sleep." He closed his eyes again, and didn't notice the fox get up and move away. That was when a good smell filled the air around him as he opened his eyes to see the same fox hold out food. "This isn't pity is it?" He asked his voice hinted with warning.

"No it's not, but you interest me human." Came the cool response.

"How so?" He asked carefully taking the food, and then biting into it, it tasted good, and he hadn't had good food for a while. Chewing he stared into those intense blue eyes.

"First your a human boy with a strange aroua, second your eyes seem to hold pain and darkness for too young of an age, a great responsibility must have been put on your shoulders, then there is something else. What is your name?"

"Takuya." He muttered turning away, he suddenly wasn't hungry anymore, it seemed the fox could read his thoughts.

"And I'm Renamon."

"Yeah, well great to meet you Renamon and thanks for the food, and all, but I'm not looking for any new friends at the moment." Takuya said taking another bite.

"Who said anything about being friends? I just said you interest me." There was silence between the two as the chatter of the other digimon rose with excitement; they were almost at their destination. "You getting off here." It was a statement, not a question.

"Yeah, so?" Takuya asked looking into Renamon's eyes again. "Though I'm not staying..." That was when a beeping happened just as the trailmon stopped at the entrance to the Autumn Leaf Fair. He pulled out his digivice to see a familiar dot.

Renamon's eyes widened in surprise at the digivice. "So that explains it, your a chosen."

"No I'm not, I gave up that title a long time ago. Look I need to get out of here, now you can either come with me or stay behind." Takuya muttered turning and opened the nearby window, which he jumped out of.

His feet hit the ground as dust rose up; he then began to move through the crowd his eyes on his digivice, trying to move away from that familiar dot...

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

Kouji had been chasing Takuya for the past month, yet he kept losing the signal, when the baka got too far, or if he himself had to stop to help innocent digimon in danger. It was luck and chance he had been able to keep up with him in the first place. He wondered if he could ever catch him, when the beeping came from a Trailmon. Taking his chance he had jumped on the back, and did his best to try to stay away far enough so his digivice wouldn't be picked up.

He had pressed his luck a little too far when the Trailmon had stopped and he began moving through cars. Now the dot known as Takuya was taking off, and Kouji had to go after him.

Weaving through crowds of digimon his blue eyes scanned the area looking for anything familar. Then at the very edge his eyes landed on a backwards hat with a symbol on it, and Kouji began moving at a quicker pace. He didn't dare call out, as he watched the hat go around a corner, and after weaving through he stopped and began pressing buttons on his D-Scanner. Soon a map of the area appeared, and where the dot was moving, figuring out a path, Kouji took off ready to cut Takuya off.

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

Takuya moved quickly past booths as digimon called out to him to buy something, but he ignored them. The thing that was following him was cutting off every path, and he did more avoiding and dodging in one area then truly escaping and he was wearing out. He then turned left and looked down at his D-Scanner to notice the dot not cutting him off, but looking up he realized why.

He had run into a dead end, with no place to go, he was trapped. Hearing footsteps, he turned to see a familiar figure standing there. His eyes narrowed as he looked over the figure, there wasn't much change, except the glare he received wasn't one of challenge, but anger, hate. He took a deep breath and glared back, but with not as much heat. "I can see your well Kouji." He commented, and he held his digivice tightly.

"I've come to take you back Takuya, now come peacefully or I will take you by force." Kouji muttered coldly.

"What no hello, or how are you, just come with me or else? How typical of you Kouji."

"At least I'm not running away from my duties as a digidestined."

"I gave up that title the day I left. Besides you're the one who left to chase after me, why didn't you just stay with the others?"

Kouji then clenched his fists and ran right over to Takuya and took a hold of his shirt bringing him close. "Because without you we are nothing." He growled out holding the gogglehead's shirt as he shook him.

Takuya took a hold of Kouji's arm with his free hand and glared at him with hate. The two kept glaring at each other for a long time as the fair went on without them. Takuya noticed Kouji loosen his grip and took his chance; he then threw a punch with his free hand and made contact. Kouji too stunned to take action fell to the ground as Takuya pocketed his D-Scanner and took off.

He didn't get too far as he crashed into the ground, Kouji wasn't that stunned. He was then turned over and his arms pined above his head so he couldn't reach his digivice. Kouji had a bruise on his cheek from his punch, and his eyes were full of anger. "Looks like force then." He muttered, and then punched Takuya hard causing the gogglehead to see lights flash before his eyes.

Kouji lifted him off the ground and pushed him up against the wall, he hated what he had to do next, but it was the only way. He reached for Takuya's D-Scanner, but was stopped by a gloved hand, and blue eyes met brown eyes. "Why can't you just leave me be." Takuya whispered brokenly. He no longer held back the pain that was there and Kouji flinched.

"Because I promised..." Was the lone wolf's answer, but his grip weakened, Takuya didn't move though knowing he would just be knocked to the ground again.

"Just go back to the others Kouji, one of us needs to lead them, and I can't do it. So just leave me alone, stop chasing me." Takuya interrupted coldly and pushing Kouji off started walking away.

Kouji started after him, but was stopped by a strange yellow fox digimon; he looked up into those tense blue eyes glaring. "Get out of my way." He spat, and began to go another direction, but was blocked off again. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Takuya running off and getting away. "What do you want, can't you see I'm busy." He growled out his hand on his digivice.

The fox stared at him, almost studying him as it's tail twitched slightly. "You know the human was right, go back to your group you are needed there."

"What makes you think he is right?" Kouji questioned his anger fading for some reason.

"Because in his heart, deep inside he still cares for all of you, and your safety. So do as he has asked and leave him be." That was when a smirk if seen crossed the fox's features. "You don't have to worry I'll look out for him." With that it turned and to Kouji's amazement just faded away.

"How?" He questioned quietly and stared at the ground. Shock and disbelief coursed through him at the same time. How had that digimon known? He leaned against the wall and ran a hand over his head, he was in deep thought. Why did he go after Takuya in the first place? Because you made a promise Came a voice in his mind, but was that all, he could have simply given up after the first week and gone his own way. That was what he had wanted to do since the beginning of the adventure.

He slid to the ground and looked up at the sky. Or was there some other reason, hidden before, but now out of the fog of his mind and placed in front of him on a silver platter. It was something that he had never felt before, but saw enough of it from Junpei to know the emotion. Was it possible that the great Kouji Minimoto was in love with that baka! It wasn't possible, not even likely, but then how many times had he found himself staring at Takuya for no reason, constantly picking a fight with him, when normally he would just sit there silent and stare off into the sky thinking.

What is wrong with me? He thought as he picked up a rock and threw it down towards the ending wall of the alley. On second thought, did that fox know about my true reason, when even I couldn't tell? Is that why it said it would look out for Takuya? Kouji chuckled as a blush came to his cheeks, though he was feeling shocked inside out. Well what do you know; maybe I do have feelings for that gogglehead. It finally does give me a reason, to why I've been chasing him for so long, and why I will even now still go after him. Kouji then slowly stood and brushed the dust off of his pants as he looked around, he would at least let Takuya get a good distance before he started tracking again. In his heart he knew he would catch up again eventually, but this next time will be different as his blush became deeper. He then began walking back into the crowd.

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

Renamon was walking through the crowd not too far behind the human child with the hat and red shirt. Though she did make sure she stayed well out of sight from him. She couldn't help a smile that crossed her features, as she kept moving. That was what that other thing about the human that was there, and the one with the dark bandana and blue shirt confirmed it. Love. It was a funny concept to a digimon, but maybe humans were familiar with the emotion, strange as it was.

Sighing she quickened her pace, and knew that not listening the other human was still coming. Maybe he did finally take into account that emotion that she herself had discovered and was now determined to follow them. Yet, Takuya wasn't ready, he still had things to work through on his own.

She knew this because she was assigned by Lady Ophanimon to track the child, and had been the entire time since he left the main group of chosen; it was chance that he noticed her on the trailmon. She remembered being told by the lady that it was necessary for Takuya to take this journey of self to discover his true destiny. She was there just to make sure it happened, even if it meant putting her spy work to the side for the moment, a chosen was more important anyway, especially this one.

The fox looked around quickly with piercing blue eyes for any sign of Kouji, seeing none she made her way to Takuya, and calling his name softly. He jumped before he turned to face her. "Renamon, I didn't know you were here, I thought you decided not to follow." He stated calmly.

Ignoring the wild look in the boy's eyes she answered him in the same tone, he had probably thought she was Kouji. "I had a change of mind, and I'm determined to come along until I figure out why you interest me so." She commented lightly, yet her eyes told that there was no arguing about her being left behind.

Looking to the ground defeated Takuya sighed and took a deep breath. "Fine." He said slowly looking up again. "I have to let you know that this won't be a pleasant trip, you see I'm searching for something..." He muttered and trailed off his eyes going distant before returning to normal. "We better get moving, I'm being followed and right now it is best I get as much distance possible between the both of us." He commented and started walking again at a more hurried pace, Renamon following behind him.

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

Eventually they made it out of the fair, and after sneaking into a Trailmon with Renamon's help Takuya now was sleeping on the floor of the cart with Renamon sitting nearby meditating.

That was when the boy had started tossing and turning, muttering in his sleep, his face was filled with pain, as he seemed to aim at something not there as he rolled over to his side...

Dream Sequence

He was running down a long hallway, a strange sword in his hand he didn't recognize, as a voice called out to him, but he couldn't understand the words. That was when the laughing began as he pushed his way through a set of doors, and stood surprised at what lay in the room.

It was a chapel, with brightly colored windows decorating the upper walls on both sides and the carpet was red, but lined with long wooden chairs and he began moving down the central aisle slowly his eyes full of wonder, but the sword in his hand was held in a defensive manner as if there was something wrong.

Halfway to the steeple, he froze, as his worse fear came true. The chapel seemed to warp and change. The glass colored windows that shone so brightly and safe before turned dark and forbidding, the chairs also warped to a deep black, and became pointed with several spikes. The floor itself became a deeper red almost like blood, as he ran forward the rest of the way to stop.

Before him stood four coffins and above then stood a cloaked figure with a long scythe held in bony hands.

He stood there, too frightened to run, scream, or even raise his sword in defense against this thing. Darkness radiated off of it, like a wave and was hitting him, and zapping him of his strength. That was when a voice came out cold that hissed of death and chaos. "You have to choose." It hissed.

As if struck by lighting he seemed to find his voice, though it only came out a whisper. "Choose, what?"

"You mean who." The voice hissed out and moved one of its bony hands and suddenly out of the ground came his friends, all of them, including Kouji, they were all chained, and trying to break away. "Choose who will live." The voice whispered, as the wind became cold as death.

He looked at them, first Izumi, the girl who seemed annoying to him all the time, yet she had a strong will, and was nice when he got to know her, in the short time, brave too, but stubborn, and strange for a girl.

Then Tomoki, the little boy he treated like his own brother, but was more protective of him. The kid was kind and innocent, and he had made sure of that. Maybe at least one of them could stay free of the danger around them.

Junpei, there was someone that drove him crazy just as much as Kouji, though the big kid had feelings for Izumi and constantly expressed them to a degree. But when he wasn't selfish he tried to keep up the happiness of the group.

Finally there was Kouji, so many emotions rose up he couldn't figure out why the lone wolf meant so much to him. First there were the times where he said he would pay Takuya back for saving his life, and then after several attempts of coaching he finally had gotten Kouji to join their group, even for such a short time. Yet every argument, every comment, seemed to lead to something more, why had Kouji stayed if they fought so much?

"Choose."

Came the command and it broke Takuya out of his thoughts as he looked to each of his friends. He couldn't just choose one they were all his friends, Kouji even more so, he then threw his sword to the ground as his hands came up to his eyes. "I...I can't choose, they are all my friends, I can't choose one and sentence the others to their death!" He shouted, removing his hands to look straight at the figure.

That was when the room became cold, so cold it truly felt like death was coming; yet darkness seemed to raise full of glee. "Then all will die." The voice answered as the scythe was raised in the air first aimed at Izumi.

"No!" Takuya cried, but it was too late, the weapon stabbed right into the girls back, as her scream of pain filled the air, she collapsed to the ground, a hole gaping out of her back as life blood seeped out. The chains fell away in a clatter and turned to smoke.

The same thing happened to both Tomoki and Junpei, Takuya was frozen in place, he couldn't move, only speak as he was forced to watch, then the figure came at last to Kouji. The scythe was raised high as it dripped with his dead friends blood, and was aimed right at Kouji.

Suddenly Takuya found he could move again and charged forward sword in hand, but he was seconds to late, as Kouji's tortured pain filled scream reached his ears as the boy collapsed to the ground, Takuya catching him. "Don't leave me." He whispered brokenly. "I...I don't know what to do without you...please..." Tears started to run down his face. "You...can't...I...ll"

"I...know..." Kouji interrupted as he started a hacking cough, blood was coming forth, and his eyes were loosing their spark. They watched each other for several seconds as emotions unsaid went through their eyes. Then Kouji reached up a hand to touch Takuya's cheek, but only fingers brushed the boy's lips, before the hand fell away, as Kouji's eyes slowly closed.

Takuya then began crying openly suddenly not caring if the world heard him, as laughter full of pure evil and darkness filled the air. He lifted his head up then to see the figure above him, and he could see the face behind the hood, as the scythe raised Takuya screamed...

End of Dream Sequence

Renamon opened her eyes at the sound of a scream to see Takuya bolt up to a sitting position in fright and watched the child with sadness. After staring at the wall for the longest moments his breathing slowed down to normal, but the wildness and fright in his eyes didn't go away as he settled down on the floor to go back into a restless sleep. The dreams have already started, I was afraid of that Renaming thought knowing the worse was yet to come...

OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOO

Well that wraps it up for this chapter I hoped you enjoyed it and at least got a little creeped out by the dream. What could it mean, and what about this destiny Renamon knows about, well it's for me to know and the rest of you to figure out. Now don't get mad at me about the Kouji angst moment, I mean the guy does think a lot in the begining of the series, who knows what passes through his mind. Also I think that love is a emotion Kouji doesn't know, considering what his home life is like, so don't kill me. Anyway next chapter we will get back to the others for a little while to see how they are doing, then back to our main couple. Read and Review!
