Princes of Heaven and Hell

Chapter 5: Guilt

Jordan Hartley

I do not own Digimon

Kouji woke up in a bed. He looked around and saw the others in beds around the room similar to his. He heard a noise and looked behind him. Takuya sat in a bed, huddled over, and his shoulders were shaking.

Kouji said, "Takuya?"

Takuya jumped in his bed, and looked up from his hands. His eyes were red and his cheeks were wet.

"K-Kouji?" He sobbed again and huddled into his knees.

Kouji rushed over and said, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Takuya sobbed again and buried his face into Kouji's chest, "I could have- I mean, I almost-"

Kouji stiffened, but relaxed and said, "What?"

Takuya grabs his shirt and rubs his face into Kouji's chest again, "I could have hurt you," he whispered. Takuya still cried into Kouji's shirt, and gasped as Kouji hugged him.

"Takuya, it wasn't your fault. It was that evil Demon. It's okay," Kouji said comfortingly.

Takuya looked up and smiled slightly, "Thank you."

A thought came to Kouji/Does he remember what Tokimura said/ He said, "Taki, do you-" He was cut off by a giggling sound from Takuya. "What?" he asked.

Takuya said, "You called me 'Taki.'"

Kouji blinked and smiled. He heard something behind them and looked around, someone had shifted in their sleep and he had a suspicion it was from the nearest bed, which Kouichi was in.

Kouji said, "Let's go somewhere else."

Takuya nodded and stood up. He wiped his eyes and smiled at Kouji, "Thanks a lot."

Kouji's heart jumped and he blushed. As they walked out of the room they went down a flight of stairs and looked around as they entered a ballroom. Suddenly the Three Celestial Angels of the Digital World appeared.

Seraphimon said, "Hello, Warriors of Light and Fire."

Ophanimon said, "And the Princes of Heaven and Hell."

Cherubimon said, "Oh quit the formality. Hello Kouji and Takuya."

The two said, "Hello."

Kouji said, "Thank you for saving us from those Demons."

The three Angels looked at each other and frowned, "We didn't just bring you here for that," said Ophanimon.

Seraphimon said, "The problem in the real world has become a problem here as well."

Cherubimon sighed and said, "Do you to always have to speak so vaguely? Basically, the Three Digimon Demons have escaped and started making trouble again."

Kouji said, "There are Three Demon Digimon too?"

Takuya squeaked. Everyone turned to him and he said, "M-My F-Fa- I mean, the King of Demons, said he was going to take over the 'Other World,' I never thought he meant here."

Kouji looked at how flustered Takuya was becoming and said, "Maybe this should wait till the others wake up."

The Three Angels thought for a second then nodded. Kouji grabbed Takuya's hand and led him through a door to the left thinking/We should find a garden or something…/ There was a whooshing sound and the two of them found themselves in the middle of a huge rose garden. "That was interesting, well, let's talk."

A/N:

Me: Yay! Taki is back to normal.

Takuya: Sorry… Is your ankle okay?

Me: Uh… yeah... Hides wrapped up ankle behind pillow

Kouji: I'm just glad your okay… Sits down and sighs

Me: Oh yeah! Taki, I'm sorry Tokimura ruined your plan.

Kouji: What plan?

Takuya: What do you mean?

Me: Oops, now I remember, I'm not supposed to tell Kouji, and Takuya forgot about it…

Kouji: What? Tell me!

Takuya: What are you talking about?

Me: Sorry, can't tell you. Please R and R.

Takuya and Kouji: Tell us!
