okay my loyal fanmons! I have realised, after reading over my 5th chapter, that there was a bunch of freaking spelling mistakes. And it all thanks to my damn 'N' key XP. It was stuck and wouldnt work properly lol. but noone commented on it and for that im grateful ((some of those grammer freaks in the KH section got me a few times. man, they sure can be crazy ne?)) Annnnyways, again, Im grateful to see that noone so far has pointed out my carelessness on my spelling or whatnot and for that, heres a cookie for all! lol. I'm so wrapped up in this fic, I had to put my other one on hiatus. lol this ones more popular it seems XDD.
Anyhizzle! On with the story!
ya'll should know the disclaimer by now.
Ch. 6
Izumi giggled from where she was walking and watching the brunette and the lone wolf. They were so cute together. The way Kouji would playfully tease Takuya and the brunette teen would blush and protest like a little girl.
She, like Kouichi, had been quick to figure out the two liked eachother. It was actually pretty obvious when she thought back to it although, Takuya was more obvious then Kouji was. She sighed. At one point the blonde did have a crush on their leader but it was easy to see that would never go anywhere.
When they were in the real world, Izumi would often hang out with Takuya, going to his soccer practises and stuff when she had nothing better to do. By then she had long out grown her crush, moving onto another one. The brunette was more like a younger brother to her then anything and it it saddened her to see those longing glances Takuya had towards Kouji. She felt some hope when she had once caught Kouji looking that way at the brunette when he thought no one was looking. Why they didnt just tell eachother, shed never know. Boys were weird like that.
Sighing she looked around, suddenly realising something about their surroundings.
"Hey guys?" The boys glanced back at her in question. "Isnt the forest terminal around here?"
Takuya blinked and looked around. Now that he thought about it, this place did seem awfully familiar. "I think youre right Izumi. That means there should be tracks around here too!"
"And tracks obviously mean a trailmon!"
With that notion in mind, they set off to find something familiar to set them on the right tracks.
--
Unfortunitly it was another two days before they actually found the terminal and it was another days wait for the trailmon to show up. They had never been more happier in their lives.
"Hey worm!!" Takuya jumped up and down enthusiastically waving. "Mind giving us a ride!?"
"'course I mind you lazy bums."
"Aww come on! Dont you remember us?"
The red trailmon peered at them before laughing in reckognition.
"If it isnt the humans from before! Never thought Id see you guys again!"
"So you'll give us a ride?"
"no"
"Ah man. Come on. we save the world. Dont you think that deserves a little ride buuuuddy?"
Kouji groaned. He thought Takuya had grown out of the habit of calling every 'buddy' just like Izumi finally stopped mixing her italian up with her japanese.
"well. . . "
"How could you turn down a face as cute as this?" Takuya asked, holding Calumon out infront of him. The white digimon put on a watery eyed puppy dog look that had the trailmon give in immediatly.
"Alright. Get on." Every one cheered. " Where ya going?"
"you know ophonimons castle?"
"Who dont?"
"there or atleast as close as there as possible"
"okay. might as well. Aint got nothing better going on"
"Sweet! Thanks Trailmon!"
"yeah yeah. Get on before I change my mind"
--
Takuya stared blankly out the window. It was their second day riding the trailmon and he had opted to watching how much the digital world changed since their last visit as they made their way to the rose morning star. It was so much more. . .lively then it had been hen they were there last. All of the fractal codes were returned and everything was restored to how it should of been. So why were they there? It didnt look like something was threatening the place.
He winced. He could feel a slight burning in his chest. Which was odd. He hadnt really had a nightmare since that night he first made out with Kouji. The Ravenette was always there at the first indication that something was wrong. He wanted to ignore it but it felt like it was growing. With a sigh he stood up and made his ay out of the car.
"Takuya? where are you going?"
"Just to the bathroom Kou" he said with a small smile which wasnt a total lie. He did have to relieve himself a bit but he actually just wanted to walk off some of this pain. "Ill be right back. " At this point he grinned " Dont miss me too much"
"Ill try not too " kouji said sarcastically as Takuya walked out of the compartment. His smirk faded into frown.
"whats wrong Kouji?" Junpei asked.
"Its nothing. I just feel like.. ." He thought back to the day Takuya called them to the park, the day they were sent back to the digital world and the way Takuya looked. " Did you guys notice anything different about Takuya that day we hung out at the movies?"
"You mean the week before all this happened?" kouji nodded "he looked tired but he told me that it just from practise that week."
"He looked distracted too."
Kouichi looked at his brother.
"Does this have something to do with that nightmare you had a few days ago Kouji?"
The older teen had ment to bring it up to him earlier but he never had a chance . He was the warrior of darkness and even though he didnt have his spirit with him anymore he could feel some sort of dark presence around them.
"I dont know, '' the longer haired one muttered and sighed. "I just have a bad feeling about something."
--
Takuya panted, resting against one of the seats as he tried to make his way back to the others. The pain was getting unbearable and he was starting to feel afraid again.
''Just a little further " he urged himself,stumbling as he got back on his feet. The compartment he was in seemed to get darker, like the light was suddenly being sucked away and he became aware of another presence in the room.
'' whos there?"
'do not tell me you dont reckognize me?'
"How the hell am I supposed to reckogize someone who hides in the shadows. "
Takuya shivered when he felt a cold, claw-like hand on his shoulder but when he turned around, no one was there. He gripped his chest as the pain increased more.
"Leave me alone"
'that is something I will not do child of flame. You have something that I want'
" What do you mean?"
'Your power will be mine and I will see to it that you are broken in the process my toy.'
Takuyas breath came out in gasps as he stumbled towards the door. His vision was beginning to blacken at the edges as the darkness bagan to surround him.
"Stay. . .stay away from me"
'No'
With a groan of pain, Takuya sunk to the floor, his arm stretched out as he tried to reach for the door still. He felt something grab his face and lift him up. He seemed to remember being in a position like this once before in the digital world but all thought left him when he was overwhelmed by pain and fear.
'k-kouji. . .help. . .'
--
Kouichi bristled and looked around. He could sence that dark presence more now then he could before. Looking at the others, it seemed he was the only one that could sence its presence near the train.
"Kouji. . . Do you feel that?" he whispered
His twin looked at him and gave him a nod with a frown before a look of realisation hit him. Takuya still wasn't back yet.
The dream he had days before refreshed in his memory as he stood up and took off into the next car, Calumon immediatly followed, leaving a bewildered Izumi, Tomoki and Junpei and a worried Kouichi.
--
Kouji darted through car after car until he finally slowed. The compartment he was now facing was covered in darkness and It left the ravenette shuddering for a moment. With a deep breath he quickly pulled the door opened and walked in.
His eyes immediatly landed on the brunette who was in the grasp of a shadowed figure. The leader squirmed and whimpered trying to fee himself but to no avail.
"Let go of him!" Kouji yelled, unable to think of anything better. If only he had his spirit still. .
The shadowed digimon laughed
'What do you plan on doing if I dont human?'
"I. . I" He clenched his fists. Dammit. what could he do? He wasnt lobomon. . he wouldnt beable to do anything without his Digimon counterpart.
"Let go of mommy!" Calumon screeched. Jumping on Koujis shoulder. When he did, the little red triangle glowed, engulfing Kouji in a white light.
'this feeling. . .I'm. . spirit evolving?'
When the light cleared, Lobomon stood in Koujis place. The ancient warrior of light growled and lunged at the hidden figure. With an annoyed sound, the attacker promptly dropped Takuya and vanished, the darkness disappearing as well.
'I will have him'
Lobomon merely growled again before turning to Takuya, reverting back to his human form. He rushed to the others side.
"Takuya, are you okay?" He asked, realising the teen was shaking in his hold. The brunette nodded weakly, gripping the front of Koujis shirt desperatly as he tried to calm himself down.
"why. . "he whispered "Why me?"
Kouji was rendered speechless as Takuya buried his face against Koujis chest, still shaking. He sat back and pulled the distraught teen onto his lap, rubbing his back gently, soothing Takuyas fears.
"kou?"
"hm?"
"Thank-you" he whispered, nuzzling Koujis neck.
"Why are you thanking me?"
"I dunno. . . .I guess. . for saving me. . "
Kouji smiled and tilted Takuyas head up to give him a kiss.
"I was glad to help" He murmured against the brunettes lips, kissing him again before pulling away. Takuya smiled faintly.
"How'd you do that by the way?"
"Do what?"
"Spirit evolve. We don't have our d-tectors."
"I don't know exactly." he looked over at Calumon. '' I think it was because of our kid there."
"calumon? really? " the white digimon fidgeted, embarrassed as Takuya grinned "way to go buddy! Not only are you cute but you can make us digivolve!"
Calumon giggled, hopping up and down "Is mommy okay now?"
"Yeah, I'm fine" Takuya reassured him.
"Okay! I'll go tell the others!!" he piped and took off. Takuya and Kouji looked at eachother before laughing a little.
"so. . ." Kouji nipped along Takuyas jawline "are you really alright?"
Takuya closed his eyes and tilted his head a bit as Kouji moved to kiss down his neck "I am now"
"ahem. . . I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
They looked over to see kouichi standing there, innocent grin on his face. Takuya blushed embarrassed while kouji glared slightly at the intrusion.
"I just wanted to check on you guys. You were taking a little while in the bathroom" he said though he knew what happened otherwise.
"we're fine. Just a little side trip." Takuya said almost giggling. He got to his feet and pulled the ravenette up with him. "sorry to worry you. Oh! You'll never guess what happened though!"
Kouichi listened interested as Takuya went into full detail about Kouji's spirit evolving while aforementioned teen trailed behind, watching Takuya warily. He acted fine but. . .He shook his head. Takuya was just the kind of person to shrug off something like that. He had no reason to worry. Theyd be fine.
Hopefully.
