Hello people! Shame on you for not reviewing. Because I didn't get reviews this chapter will be shorter than planned. If you want me to write more and update more often review. Otherwise the chapters will be short and it will take longer for the story to end and for the sequel to begin. Yes, there will be a sequel, but if people don't review I won't make one. Now, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter Ten

They walked for a while and Kouji noticed that Rei was starting to look worst. They stopped to rest and he saw that she had a slight fever. He laid her down against a tree and covered her with his jacket.

"Try to sleep, okay." He went over to Takuya.

"How is she?" Takuya said.

"She has a fever. Takuya, we have to get her out of here. She's getting weaker every second we spend here."

"Don't worry buddy, we'll get out soon. Listen, why don't you let me carry her for a while? You must be tired."

Kouji thought about it. He was tired and Takuya didn't seem to mind. He didn't think Rei would mind.

"Yeah, okay."

Takuya carried Rei on his back. She was half asleep and was a bit startled when she noticed that the person carrying her wasn't Kouji. When she saw that it was Takuya she relaxed a bit, but it was still awkward. She was used to Kouji being the one that always carried her and took care of her. Takuya was nice, but she hadn't really talked to him that much. As she continued with her musings while trying to stay awake she didn't notice Kouji watching her.

'She looks so happy and peaceful with Takuya. I guess I had no reason to think she would mind him carrying her.'

As he looked at them he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. When he realized what he was thinking he was surprised and a bit mad at himself for letting himself think that way.

'What am I thinking? So what if she likes being with Takuya? Why am I even jealous? She's just a friend it's not like I like her as more than a friend.'

Even as he thought about this he couldn't help but wonder if he really just liked her as a friend. It was true that he had gotten closer to her, but it had never occurred to him how close. Now that he thought about it he was being very protective of her, but he dismissed the thought as just being protective of her friend. He hadn't had many friends and he felt that he would do anything to keep the few he had safe.

As they walked Rei couldn't keep her eyes open any longer. She closed her eyes, but opened them again when she felt Takuya stop walking. She opened her eyes to see Arbormon standing in front of them.

Takuya put her down in a safe place and everyone spirit evolved to fight Arbormon who used his beast spirit, Petaldramon. They fought for a while and eventually they defeated him and Lobomon took away his beast spirit. Then another digimon appeared his name was Duskmon. He appeared to be Arbormon's ally, but then he destroyed him himself.

Duskmon proved to be a very powerful foe. No matter how hard they tried they just couldn't defeat him. Rei hid behind a tree with Bokomon and Neemon. She watched the others fight and wished that she could help. She saw Takuya hit him with a very powerful attack. Apparently he thought that he had defeated Duskmon, but Kouji thought differently.

"Takuya, get out of there!" He said.

Takuya was reluctant, but ran away with the others. Lobomon picked Rei up and they left.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, what about you?"

"I'm fine."

"Kouji-kun, who was that guy?"

"I don't know, but we better be careful. He's powerful, more powerful than any of the others we've fought."

Kouji didn't know just how powerful he was or just what was in store for them.
