Chapter 3

When Takuya woke up the next morning he found himself staring at the face of the raven haired teen he was travelling with. He looked at him in confusion before recalling what had happened that night.

'I thought I was dreaming. " he muttered and smiled, watching the warrior of light sleep. He looked peaceful when he slept. No frown, no scowl, nothing but serenity as he breathed through slightly parted lips.He was cute.

Cute. . .He really just thought that didn't he?

He wasnt suprised. He had always thought that the raven haired boy was handsome. He was better looking then most girls he knew. ' Takuya blushed slightly. He had developed some. . .feelings for the boy quite some time ago but never told anybody. He was afraid to.

The brunette noticed that the sleeping boys hair had come undone in his sleep, his hair now down and in his face. Without thinking, he reached out and moved some of the hair out of the other boys face, tucking it behind his ear. Kouji sighed and after a moment, his eyes fluttered open and he stared drowsily at takuya.

With a bright blush in place, Takuya quickly pulled his hand away, only to have it caught by the half awake lone wolf. His blush brightened even more realising the ravenette wasnt going to let go.

"K-kouji, did I wake you? Gomen"

"iie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine" The goggle head smiled, "Why?'

"You. . .you had a nightmare Takuya." Kouji said with a frown "What was it that had you so freaked out?"

"It was nothing to worry about kouji, but. . .uhm. . "

"what?"

"you wont think I'm some kind of cazy person will you?"

Kouji shook his head "of course not"

"I think I know where we have to go. Where that person that wanted us here is." The ravenette only rose an eyebrow, wanting the brunette to continue on. " Ophonimons castle. They said to go there."

The other teen sat up, forgetting his hold on Takuyas hand "Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure. She said it would be safe for us there, considering we cant digivolve or anything right now. You. . .you believe me right?"

"I dont see any reason why I shouldn't Takuya. Was there anything else in this dream of yours last night?"

"N-no. Just that really."

"hn"

Kouji frowned. He didn't believe Takuya when he said he was alright, not after seeing the boy in that condition last night. It was something he never thought he would see and it pained him slightly to know that their leader wouldn't let him know what was going on.

"Kouji?"

"Come on Takuya, We better find the others"

The brunette got to his feet, pulling his hand gently out of Koujis grasp as he nodded. "Shall we continue on this direction?"

The ravenette quickly tied his hair up. "Might as well. If I remember correctly, we should be able to get a trailmon around here too. We'll get to Ophonimons castle faster that way"

"Sounds like a plan!"

--

"argh! Where the hell are they!!"

"yelling like that wont find them any faster moron."

"It might!!" Takuya growled annoyed as he stormed out infront of Kouji. It had been hours. They had walked in the same direction for miles and they had stopped for lunch and still no sign of their friends.

"Jeez. Youre so loud."

"Yeah yeah. Who ca-aaack!"

Kouji watched in amusement as Takuya tripped and fell face first into the grass comically. The brunette groaned and rolled over before sitting up

"what the hell?" He scratched his head in confusion as he stared at what tripped him. Kouji walked over and knelt down, eyebrow raised.

"You tripped on a digi egg?" he snorted "Nice one Takuya"

"Shut up Kou" The goggle head picked up the decorated white egg, holding it carefully "Why would a digi egg just be sitting here?"

"Who knows. Just leave it and lets go."

"What? no."

"excuse me?"

"I'm not just going to leave it here. I'll just bring it with us."

"Are you sure thats safe to do Takuya?" Kouji asked "I mean, we do end up in dangerous situations often and an egg wont be able to put up with all that harsh movement."

The warrior of flame smiled at Kouji as he stood back up, holding the fairly large egg in his arms "It'll be fine. I'll take care of it. Dont you worry"

"Fine" Kouji sighed. "Come on. I hear rushing water. we can get something to drink"

"Alright!"

The two walked in comfortable silence; Takuya examining the newly found egg for any cracks or dents and Kouji just staring boredly at the trees surrounding them. When they cleared the small forest they were in, they found themselves at a river. Kouji smirked, satisfied he was right and knelt down next to the water to get a handful. He looked over at the brunette who was staring at the river deep in thought, a dazed expression on his face.

"ta-"

rustle, rustle

Kouji immediatly snapped to attention, turning around when he heard something move around in the bushes behind him. Before he knew it, An Ogremon jumped out at them, barely giving him enough time to move. Takuya, now out of his daze, looked over in suprise. The ogremon looked at him with a wide green.

"Hand the digi egg over human."

The brunette narrowed his eyes. "How 'bout no."

"I wasnt giving you a choice!" The green digimon lunged at Takuya who ducked to the side, quickly turning to Kouji.

"Kou! Catch!"

"wait what!?" The Ravenette exclaimed as his friend suddenly tossed the Digi-egg at him. He caught it then blinked in suprise as the Ogremon came rushing at him. "Dammit takuya!" He cursed, rolling out of the way and taking off, egg securly in his arms.

The ogremon turned to chase after Kouji and didnt see Takuya run at him. Kouji stopped running as the goggle wearer slammed into the green digimon, who in turn grabbed the attacking boy and tossed him aside. The brunette growled in annoyance and rushed at him again, tackling the digimons legs this time and knocking him over the river bank and into the rushing water and because the brunette held his legs, he was sent into the water as well.

"Takuya!"

"kouji!"

The brunette sputtered, frantically trying to keep above the surface as the current dragged him along. His lack of sleep decided that now was the best time to come back and bite him in the ass as he fought to keep his strength up and kick his feet continuously, gulping in large quantities of water.

Kouji ran along side the river, digi-egg in his arms (if he didnt take it, takuya would most likely kill him). He was frantically thinking of a way to get the brunette out of the water before he drowned and without drowning himself. Luckily, Takuya just so happened to hit a stratigically placed boulder in the water.

The boulder wasn't directly in the middle. It was more to the side, closer to where he was. If the brunette could just reach over. . .

The warrior of light gently put the egg down in the grass and knelt down next to the river. He looked over at the brunette who was now desperatly clinging to the rock.

"Takuya!" he called out, stretching out as far as he could go without falling into the water himself. "Hurry up and grab my hand"

Nodding, Takuya reached out with one hand and after a few tries, managed to latch onto Koujis. Said digidestined immediatly began to pull Takuya over, keepin

g a tight hold with both hands. With one final pull, two things happened. 1. takuya cam flying out of the water. 2. kouji fell backards, bringing the aforementioned teen with him and landing them in a very awkward position that neither had realised they were in yet.

Kouji blinked, looking up at the brunette ontop of him. "Are you okay?"

"yeah. . hehehe. . just a bit wet" he grinned.

"you . . .you idiot! " Kouji snapped. Takuya looked at him bewildered. "What were you thinking taking on a digimon like that!? You could have been beaten to a pulp. . or drowned! You moron!. . ."

As Kouji ranted on his stupidity, Takuya suddenly realised the position they were in. Kouji lying underneath him with his hand on his hands while he knelt on top. He felt his face steadily growing hotter as he noticed just how close their faces were. Kouji seemed to be completly oblivious as he ranted on and the brunette pointed out how cute he was when he was angry. Thats when he lost whatever self control he had and leaned closer.

"-and another thing when you- takuya? what are you-mmmpfh"

Koujis eyes widened. Takuya was kissing him. . . holy shit. . . Takuya was kissing him. . . and he liked it? what the hell was he going to do? Kiss back? just sit there? shit shit shit . . . . Just as his mind had made up what it wanted to do, the brunette pulled away, quickly scrambling to his feet and walking over to where kouji left the digi-egg.

"Takuya?"

"I'm sorry. . . he mumbled "just. . forget that even happened. . . .i-it wont happen again."

'tak-"

"takuya!? Kouji!?"

'why the hell do i keep getting interrupted' kouji thought annoyed as he turned to face Izumi and the others. Takuyas face brightened immediatly as he waved to the others.

"Guys! Heeeeey!"

Kouji felt a pang of jealousy as Izumi gave Takuya a hug, the brunette laughing slightly embarrased.

"We're so glad you two made it! "

"did all of you guys end up in the same place?" takuya asked

"No, Kouochi and Junpei landd somewhere else. I was with Tomoki. We were so worried about you guys. . . ne, Takuya, is that a digi-egg?"

"yeah, we found it earlier."

"you mean you tripped on it earlier. "

"No one needs to know that Kou."

"well, you look soaked Takuya. Playing in the water?"

"not exactly. . "

"well come on, we found a good spot to camp for the night. we can start a fire to get you dried up before you get sick. "

"I'l lead the way!" Junpei announced, taking the leader position, tomoki nodding and joining in. Izumi just sighed and followed after, continuing the conversation she was having with kouichi before they spotted the other two.

Takuya smiled, glad all of his friends were found and safe. With a sigh he gripped the egg and went to follow after when Kouji suddenly grabbed him and spun him around in one quick motion. He went to protest but the ravenette effectively cut him off by crushing their lips together.

"We'll talk about this later" he whispered when he pulled away, casually shoving his hands in his pockets and strolling away. Takuya stood there dumbfounded before smiling faintly and running after the rest of them.

Neither of them had noticed the two pair of eyes glancing back at them satisfied.
