Hi guys thank you for the reviews they have made me very happy. It has really brought my spirits up because last two weeks was a doozy and I was feeling really down and out. But thanks to your reviews I okay now. So enough about me on to the story! When we last left off Tomoki, Izumi and J.P. had enlisted the help of Rosemon, Guardramon, Datamon, Gatomon, Manemon, Metal Greymon, Andromon, Angewomon, and Angemon. Now it's Takuya's turn to find the Digimon that will help him.

Also Duskmon will tell his plan to Sakuya and hopefully she'll want to go through with it. Now as always read, review and enjoy.

"blah"- talking

/blah /- thoughts

Now let's begin.

Kouji has a crush chapter 16

While Rosemon and everyone was going towards the Gabumon/Agumon village Patamon spotted another village that looked like it was neighboring village.

"Excuse me, Lady Angewomon." Patamon said.

"Yes, Patamon." Angewomon said.

"I believe that that is the Fridgemon village if I'm not mistaken." Patamon said.

"It is everyone we'll stop here and tell them the situation." Angewomon said. Everyone nodded and slowly started their descend.

&&&&&&&&

Takuya was shivering he made it to the Fridgemon village, but he didn't know that it was going to be so cold.

"Man, I wish someone would've told me it would be so cold. I would've brought a jacket this one is not doing it." Takuya said as a breeze came by and he hugged himself closer. It was snowing and the wind was making it no better. Takuya asked a few Digimon, but they didn't see any Divemon or Sakuya.

/I wish someone seen Sakuya or Divemon. I really miss her. / Takuya thought trudging along in the snow. His nose was running, his clothes was soaked, and his feet felt like ice, but he didn't care he would search and search until he found someone that has seen Sakuya or Divemon.

"Hey, mister you shouldn't be out here it's too cold. Come with me I'll take you some place warm." Takuya nodded he didn't know who this person was and he didn't care. All he cared about was getting to some place warm.

&&&&&&&

"Here you go." The mysterious Digimon said giving Takuya a cup of warm tea.

"Thank you." He said smiling taking a long drink of the tea. The Digimon laughed," You must've been really thirsty and cold. A deadly combination." It joked. Takuya laughed, "Yeah I was by the way my name is Takuya what's yours?"

"My name is Fridgemon. I live in this village you're not from around here are you?"

Takuya smiled, "How could you guess?"

"Well number one you're human, number two you're not wearing the right, um how can I say wardrobe for this village, and number three you were standing out in the cold walking. Everyone knows you can't walk outside when it's snowing. The snow isn't bad, but those winds are quite a doozy." Fridgemon said smiling.

"Yeah tell me about it." Takuya said as he shivered.

"We need to get you out of those wet clothes and dry you off. Come on follow me." Fridgemon said going upstairs in his little home Takuya following him. After following Fridgemon upstairs he ran Takuya a bath and gave him a change of clothes. Takuya found it strange that this Digimon picked him up from the street and was taking care of him. But after sitting in the tub and pondering about it for awhile he shook it aside.

/I might aw well enjoy it, but I can't knowing that Sakuya is still gone. I wonder if the others have found any leads. I wonder how Izumi's doing. I hope she's doing okay. / Takuya thought as his cheeks tinged pink.

/Wait did I just think about Izumi? I did oh man great. Now that I think about it she is pretty and funny and great to be around…AHH! What am I thinking? That's crazy what's happening to me/ he thought blushing as he saw Izumi smile happy that Sakuya is back with them. That was his favorite daydream.

Now he was sitting at a table dressed in pair of jeans, a white/blue t-shirt, with his goggles around his neck sitting with Fridgemon who was sipping tea.

"Itadekimasu! Thanks for the food Fridgemon." Takuya said smiling as he started eating.

"You're welcome. Now tell me why were you walking in the cold are you looking for someone?" Fridgemon asked.

"Yes, I am looking for someone. Her name is Sakuya. She was kidnapped by some Divemon and I was wondering if you had seen them." Takuya said.

"Sakuya? Yeah I know her. She was really nice she helped us fight off this gang of Maramon that would come and terrorize us. She fought the gang off and helped our village turn back to the way it was before. Because the Maramon would melt our village and we have to freeze it back, but she helped us. She was real nice and pretty too…what…" Fridgemon said as Takuya's words came back to him and hit him like a ton of bricks.

"WHAT! SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED BY DIVEMON? NOT DIVEMON! This bad, bad, very bad." Fridgemon said clutching his mug and shaking his head.

"I know it's bad and I need your help to find her and get this Digimon who's hurting her. Will you help me?" Takuya said. Fridgemon nodded, "Of course I'll help don't you worry about that."

"Thank you. Now can you tell me what the Divemon are and what do they do." Takuya said.

"The Divemon are Aquarian Digimon. They are Ranamon's loyal helpers and they are so mean. They go around destroying villagers, stealing data, and kidnapping other Digimon. They're very evil and they have no mercy. They even kidnapped my best friend. You have no idea how it felt to watch them take him away." Fridgemon said sadly.

"I think I know that feeling." Takuya said as he closed his eyes as the images of Sakuya's kidnapping came back. "I think I know."

"I will help you Takuya don't worry."

"Cool thanks Fridgemon. /This is great we're getting closer and closer to saving you Sakuya. Just hang on. / Takuya thought.

&&&&&&&

Sakuya didn't move form her place against the bars. She tried going to sleep, but every time she did she would have nightmares of Kouji and the others either laughing at her or Ranamon killing them one by one and making her watch.

Everyday her hope of getting rescued was fading like the color of her eyes. Her heart was slowly becoming hollow on the fact that she wasn't going to be rescued. She slowly believed what Ranamon was telling her. Ophanimon tried talking to her, but Sakuya didn't respond. Sometimes she would nod, but that would be it.

"Sakuya, Sakuya please say something." Ophanimon said pleading. Sakuya just came back from working in the kitchens and resumed her spot on the bars again tears going down her already tear stained face.

"Oh, Sakuya." Ophanimon said looking at her sadly. She didn't want her to lose hope. She could feel Sakuya's love for her friends and Kouji fade slowly away and she didn't want that.

/Please Sakuya don't lose hope, don't lose hope. / Ophanimon thought. Footsteps were heard coming towards them slowly. Sakuya broke out of her daze and started to curl into a ball. She didn't want to go back and be punished with draining rain again she didn't.

"Please I thought I was done for today can't I rest please." She pleaded as she started to cry. The figure coming down the hall stopped in front of her cell. Sakuya looked up and was staring into the face of Duskmon.

"Duskmon." She whispered so low that he barely heard it.

"Sakuya here it's from Gatomon." Duskmon said handing her a plate of fried rice and spring rolls. Sakuya took it and started to eat slowly.

"You need to eat Gatomon is worried that you're starving yourself and I'm tired of hearing her go, 'I hope Sakuya is alright' so eat."

"But Ranamon will notice and she'll…punish me with Draining Rain." Sakuya said as she paled even more looking like a sheet.

"Please eat Sakuya we need you to be strong if our plan is going to work." Ophanimon said. Sakuya slowly sipped her glass of water the liquid not cooling her throat. It wasn't that the food wasn't good Gatomon was a good cook Sakuya just didn't feel like eating. Being attacked by Ranamon daily wasn't good for her appetite.

"So, what do you want Duskmon?" Sakuya said in monotone as she dried her tears.

"I want to know about Kouji who is he and anything else you know." Duskmon said.

"…I know that Kouji will never come for me, but when I was with Kouji he was very nice. Only to me though he never showed his kindness around others. It's funny I met him on my first day of school…" Sakuya started telling Duskmon when she first met Kouji. A sad smile on her face as she told him about saving him and the gang from Maramon, traveling with him, and Kouji telling them the story about the photograph that's when she hit a chord.

"Tell me about that photograph again." Duskmon said.

"Huh, oh Kouji said he was looking through some family albums when he saw this picture. It was a baby picture of him and someone else who looks like him and he didn't know who that person was. He said he couldn't tell his dad because he was too busy with his step mom and he couldn't tell his mom because…well he wants to know who's that person in the picture is." Sakuya finished. "Duskmon are you okay?"

Duskmon was holding his head as his mind flash the same picture Sakuya was talking about. He was right him and this Kouji was connected. He had to see him and clear this up, but how would he do it? Of course Sakuya, if he could get Sakuya out of this hellhole then he could see Kouji and get everything straighten out.

"Okay I've told you about Kouji now you have to keep your word and get me out of here. That is if you can. How are you going to do it? Cause I know that Ranamon will not let me go." Sakuya said sadly staring out of her cell.

"Are you going to let Ranamon rule your life?"

"Well do I have a choice! I can't digivolve, I'm too weak to even blink, and Kouji and the others won't…" she stopped as a lump appeared in her throat.

"If Kouji loves you as much as you say he does he'll come. If your friends love you as much as you say they do they'll come. So shut up, eat, and listen to my plan." Duskmon said. Sakuya thought about his words and nodded. She picked up her fork and started to eat.

"My plan is Ophanimon, Gatomon, and the rest of the workers in the kitchen will cause a distraction while Seraphimon cause a distraction in here. Ranamon will take care of the situation in the kitchen and knowing her she'll send the Divemon down here. I'll take care of the Divemon and grab the keys. I'll release you and give the keys to Seraphimon who'll save himself and release the other Digimon. I'll take you through the back way of the castle and give you that device. We'll fight the Digimon off until we're out of the castle and then you'll be free." Duskmon said.

"What about the other Digimon will they be okay?" Sakuya asked.

"Don't worry Sakuya me and Seraphimon will be okay." Ophanimon said as Seraphimon nodded.

"It wouldn't feel right if you guys aren't safe and out with me." Sakuya said.

"We're strong Sakuya don't worry we'll pull through." Seraphimon said.

"Okay, when are we doing this plan?" Sakuya asked. She was doubtful about the whole thing, but a little determination entered her heart at the thought of being able to be with Kouji and the others again.

"I'll come back and tell you when the time is right, but I will tell you this it's going to be happening soon. Are you finished? Because I'm not taking back a half empty plate to Gatomon again and listen to her say 'She still hasn't eaten yet? I wish she would.' I'm tired of hearing her worry now finish it." Duskmon said.

"I'll only eat it because I don't want Gatomon to worry about me. Tell her the food is good and…" Sakuya started to back down, but she got a little never and said," You need to watch your attitude. I get enough from Ranamon I don't need it from you." She said quietly, but angrily. She slowly was getting her confidence back, but she still was afraid of speaking out.

"Whatever just eat and be quiet." Duskmon said.

"I'm going to ask again why are you helping me?" Sakuya asked.

"Because as I said before what Ranamon did to you it's not right. No one deserves to be treated like that no one." Duskmon said.

"Thank you." Sakuya said quietly eating.

"Hn." Duskmon said. When she finished he took back the empty plates and left his footsteps echoing down the hall.

"Ophanimon are you sure this will work? I mean what if…" Sakuya started when Ophanimon said, "It WILL work Sakuya just have faith. Just have faith." Sakuya nodded, Okay I will. /I just hope it works. /" she thought leaning against the bars of her cell once again.

&&&&&&&&

"So Fridgemon do you know any other Digimon that can help us?" Takuya said.

"I don't know, a lot of Digimon here are afraid of Divemon and of Ranamon and won't fight against her, but there are a few though who wants to get back at Ranamon for what she has done to their families. Huh?" Fridgemon said as there was a knock on the door.

"I'll be right back." Fridgemon said as he got up and answered the door.

"Yes."

"Fridgemon, it's me." Fridgemon quickly open the door realizing who that was.

"Wizardmon." Fridgemon said.

"Hey Fridgemon how's it going?" Wizardmon said brushing snow off his hat.

"I'm fine, but how are you? Were you able to get a lot of information? They haven't caught on have they?" Fridgemon said.

"No, but Grumblemon did get suspicious one day. Though Ranamon convinced him otherwise it was because of that that I was safe. Though I do feel bad for all the prisoners that are there. Fridgemon we have to get them out and the other prisoners in Grumblemon, Mercurymon, and Arbormon castles." Wizardmon said. Fridgemon nodded, "You're right well come in and get warm up." Fridgemon said as Wizardmon said 'thanks' and walked inside.

"Oh Wizardmon this is Takuya. Takuya this is Wizardmon he lives here and he's one of my closet friends."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Takuya said shaking Wizardmon's hand.

"Nice to meet you too." Wizardmon said returning the hand shake.

"Takuya here is looking for Sakuya. Don't you remember Sakuya Wizardmon?" Fridgemon said placing a bowl of soup in front of him. At the sound of Sakuya's name Wizardmon eyes widened.

"Did you say Sakuya? As in the girl who helped us out that time." Wizardmon said.

"Yeah, that's her why do you know where she's at?" Fridgemon asked Takuya listening in.

"Yes, I do! So that was her I knew she looked familiar aw man." Wizardmon said shaking his head and looking at his hands.

"What do you know where she's at? Is she okay? WHAT'S UP?" Takuya said not meaning to yell.

"I know where she's at. She's in Ranamon's castle and she's being treated horrible there." Wizardmon said.

"How do you know where she's at?" Takuya said.

"I know because…I'm a spy for this village. I pretend to be on Ranamon's side, tell her I'm going to my own castle, and I come back here to tell Lord Ikakumon what I've seen and what's going on in her castle. Also to tell him about his son Gommamon and of the other Digimon who's been taken form this village."

"Have you seen Sakuya while you're there? Is she okay? What's happening to her?" Takuya said close to yelling again as he stood up.

"I've seen her; she's okay, but…"

But…but WHAT?"

But Ranamon has not been treating her right. What I have to say to you will be hurtful and shocking you may need to sit down." Wizardmon said firmly. Takuya sat down and waited with Fridgemon for Wizardmon to start.

"Okay, well I started spying on her when…"

"That's what I've seen from then to now." Wizardmon finished, "If I knew that was her I would've helped her. It's just she looked familiar, but I couldn't recognized her. She wasn't the smiling girl who left our village."

Fridgemon started fidgeting with his hands Takuya as in shock. He listened to Wizardmon's story getting angrier by the minute. Whoever Ranamon was this Digimon had to be stop.

"Why…why…would she…Ooo! That's it she has to be stopped! Wizardmon where is this Lord Ikakumon we have to tell him immediately!" Takuya said.

"He's up there in his castle, but the only problem is the winds are really fierce up there." Fridgemon said.

"I don't care how hard the wind blows I need to get up there and tell him about Sakuya and see what he can do. I have to I can't sit here knowing what's going on and do nothing about it!" Takuya said getting up.

"Takuya's right we have to go and tell him. I can give Takuya a spare cloak and cast a heat spell over him to protect him from the cold and a shield spell to protect him from the fierce winds let's go Fridgemon!" Wizardmon said getting up.

"Right, let's go!" Fridgemon said getting up with them too. Wizardmon prepared Takuya for the weather and they left for Lord Ikakumon's castle.

"Lord Ikakumon Wizardmon's here along with Fridgemon. They are accompanied by a human, also." A Fridgemon said.

"Yes, let them in." Lord Ikakumon said.

"Lord Ikakumon we have news about Lady Sakuya." Wizardmon said.

"Yes, more information about Sakuya this is good." Rosemon said. Rosemon and the others arrived at the castle a few minutes before Fridgemon, Wizardmon, and Takuya.

"Lady Rosemon, Lady Angewomon, Datamon welcome." Wizardmon said bowing.

"Manemon, Andromon, MetalGreymon, Gatomon and Patamon hi how are you?" Fridgemon said smiling.

"Izumi, Tomoki, J.P. hi guys!" Takuya said happily running towards him with Tomoki and J.P. She gave Takuya a warm hug as he returned it back.

"I'm fine who are all these people?" Takuya said smiling.

"This is Lady Rosemon." Izumi said. Rosemon smiled, "Hello Takuya and you may rise Wizardmon." Takuya smiled as Wizardmon stood up and nodded.

"This is Datamon, Manemon, Andromon, MetalGreymon, and Gatomon." J.P. said.

"Nice to meet you and we've been fine Fridgemon." They said smiling.

"Nice to meet you too." Takuya said smiling. Fridgemon smiled and nodded, "That's good."

"This is Lady Angewomon and Patamon." Tomoki said.

"Hello Takuya it's nice to meet you. Good to see you to Wizardmon." Rosemon said smiling.

"Hi nice to meet you too and I'm sure you know who these two are. If not this is Fridgemon and this is Wizardmon." Takuya said.

"Nice to meet you." They said.

"Nice to meet you too." Everyone else said.

"Now, what information do you have for me Wizardmon? I have already been informed that Lady Sakuya has been kidnapped and an incident that has happen to her. What other news do you have for me?" Ikakumon said.

"The news that I have for you is shocking and hurtful. You all might want to sit down." Wizardmon said once he saw that everyone took a seat he started.

"That's all the news I know form when I started to now." Wizardmon said. Everyone was in shock. Izumi broke down she was shaking and crying. Takuya did what he did last time hold her and speak comforting words to her. Tomoki was pale and shaking as Lady Angewomon came near him and hugged him tears going down her face.

J.P. stared at the ground. Datamon came by him and started patting his shoulder. Lady Rosemon was crying and trying hard not to shake with Patamon in her arms who had tears going down his face. Andromon punch the wall, MetalGreymon had his fists balled up shaking with rage, and Gatomon was clawing the ground with tears going down her face.

"I…I…can't…believe oh Takuya." Izumi sobbed burying herself deeper in his shirt. Takuya held her close blinking back tears, "I know Izumi, but don't worry we'll get her back soon." he said rocking her slowly running his fingers slowly through her hair.

"We can't allow this to go on! Not anymore!" Rosemon said as Patamon nodded.

"Right!" everyone agreed.

"Gommamon…that's it! This menace must be stop FRIDGEMON!"

"Yes, my lord." a Fridgemon said bowing.

"It's time to initiate the plan." Ikakumon said. Fridgemon and Wizardmon gasped.

"Are you sure my lord?" Fridgemon said.

"Yes, we need them to make it happen. So tell them." Ikakumon said.

"Yes, my lord." Fridgemon said bowing as he an off.

"What kind of plan are you going to do?" Datamon said.

"The plan includes my two special armies Korikakumon and Drillmon and the attack they can do together. It's their ultimate attack, but I will tell you what that has to do with my plan when we go to the Gabumon/Agumon village and talk to WereGarurumon and MetalGreymon." Ikakumon said.

"Right let's go!" Angewomon said drying her tears standing on her shaky legs. She tired to, but she fell to her knees.

"Lady Angewomon? Are you okay?" Wizardmon said going towards her.

"I'm fine it's just…hearing about Sakuya and my sister…it breaks my heart." Angewomon said Izumi cried harder bawling and screaming. Takuya held her close and kissed her forehead softly.

"Don't worry Izumi I swear we'll get Sakuya back. It's okay just let it all out. We'll get her back I promise." He said tears going down his own face slowly. For awhile nobody moved everyone sat in their spots crying. Their hearts clenching about what Sakuya has been through and the sudden determination to hurry up and get Sakuya out of there as fast as they can.

Aww man everyone's so sad, but it'll get better soon I promise. Sorry I didn't update sooner every time I would I had to finish something and now that's school has started I've been so busy with homework (sighs) I hate that. Well now Takuya has gotten help and that's one more to help the cause. Next it's Kouji's turn and he finds help in the Gabumon/Agumon village. I wonder how he'll react when Wizardmon's tells him the news.

Oh yeah the news the Wizardmon told everyone was what happened in the previous chapters.

Next chapter Kouji gets help and the plan to get Sakuya back is going to come together more now. So I'll see you next time and thanks for the reviews they were very helpful.

See ya
