It had only been a few days since Koji had awoken. Around five, in fact. It had been... pleasant to say the least, for both parties. Koji wasn't given death threats... and Duskmon wasn't bothered by the child.

Both weren't aware that this peace would be disturbed... and replaced.

Koji was practicing his Kendo in the room Duskmon had let him use. It was simple for Koji; he had been learning Kendo for awhile now, after all. A deserted tray of food sat on a nearby table, half eaten.

Suddenly, the entire castle-like home shook. Koji was forced to the ground, unable to keep his balance. Duskmon peeked in just for a second, checking on the boy.

Duskmon had already taken the D-tector away from the warrior of light... but he didn't take the spirits. He didn't know why... he just... couldn't take them. Not from Koji.

"Stay in here." ordered the dark warrior, before going to apprehend the threat to his charge...

Huh?

When did he refer to Koji as his charge...

The warrior of light was his hostage...

No matter. Duskmon ran out.

Duskmon was surprised to see that IceLeomon was assaulting his home with his 'buddies', Karatemon, Asuramon, Volcamon, and Cherrymon. Duskmon growled, and set to work defending his home.

Depatching all of them was not easy, to say the least. It was five against one. Fortunely, he was Duskmon. It took him awhile, to say the least...

(Scene change! To Koji!)

Koji had done what he was told, much to his distaste. He was still practicing his Kendo... when he heard the door open, "Dusk-"

It was Sakkakumon! Koji's eyes widened.

He couldn't defend himself!

This wasn't good!

"Hello... Warrior of Light." greeted the mutated digimon.

"H-Hey..." Koji greeted, backing away. He held his practice sword in front of him.

Yeah... he was fucked. Sakkakumon charged for him. Even though the mutant couldn't attack..

He could still charge.

Koji attempted to dodge, and just barely did so. However, it seemed that Sakkakumon was expecting it. He rammed into Koji, and slammed him into the wall. He heard a few cracks.

Damn. The damn warrior of steel cracked a few ribs. That was going to hurt...

Sakkakumon just held up there, and rammed him back into the wall. Koji hit his head hard on the wall, and yelped in pain. He felt black seep into his vision.

He was slammed into the wall again... He hit his head again. Uuugh... Blackness nearly covered his vision entirely.

It wasn't long until Koji was entirely unconscious, hanging limp. Sakkakumon backed away and smirked the best he can, before leaving, slide evolving back into Mercurymon.

It would be no doubt that he would be labeled as a traitor now.

He didn't care. He finished the Warrior of Light!

(Scene change)

Once the attackers were defeated, Duskmon rushed into his home and to Koji's room. What he saw shocked him to the core.

Koji was on the ground, barely breathing. Blood trickled down from the back of his head and onto his face and hair. He was as limp as a wet sheet of paper. Duskmon rushed over and gently picked up the warrior of light. A weak groan escaped the boy.

Good. He'll most likely live.

Duskmon still rushed Koji to a soft bed, and rushed around for medical supplies. Once found, Duskmon quickly patched up Koji.

Duskmon found himself hoping that Koji would awaken.

That nothing would be wrong.

Oh...

How wrong he was...
