fushwaaaah

Omg I cant believe I forgot about this fic. lol. Ive neglected it for like a year.

First off, sorry for the late update. I was attempting to do some kingdom hearts ones but they all sucked so I gave up (I actually have two new ones in the making, hopefully they dont suck either)

secondly, Woooow. I just reread my chapters and I need some major editing done and chaper eleven needs to be COMPLETELY redone. So Ill probably start on that eventually.

thirdly, thanks for all the support! Even after the sucky chapters youve still stuck with me so Ive rewarded you all with a new chapter! One that (hopefully) doesnt suck! can you believe theres only one more chapter left after this one?

I use the word sucked a lot...

any who...read on!

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Seraphimon frowned as he stared at the group of children infront of him. While Kouji had been dealing with Takuya the rest of them dealt with Barbomon, giving him a tough battle and swift judgement. He personally saw to it that the demon lord digimon was ver and done with, his egg being sent to the nursery so he could finally be reborn like the others before him.

To say the battle left them a little worse for wear was an understatement. They had wound up injured and sore, Kouji having felt the worst of it. Even after the fighting was over and being taken care of by the digimon that lived there the warrior of light as bed ridden for almost a week, the injury he sustained from Takuya taking its time to heal.

As for the warrior of flame. . .The once proud and bright leader was now quiet and withdrawn. He hardly said a word to the rest of his friends as they sat around Koujis bedside waiting for him to recover and keeping him company. Kouji tried more then once to talk to the boy when they were alone but he never got a response. The brunette would just look at him with guilt ridden eyes before looking away sadly.

After deeming Kouji fit to move Taromon announced that she had found a way to send them back home using the same method Barbomon used. They waited patiently as the digimon made her preparations calumon snugged comfortably in Takuyas arms. The little digimon refused to stay behind without his mommy and daddy and ignored the protests of kouji who didnt want to risk the digimon getting seen and taken away.

When Taromon was finished and they all said their goodbyes to the two digimon the sky opened up like it had a couple weeks ago. The wind picked up around them and the digidestined were lifted in the air, waving to seraphimon and taromon as they disappeared. Everything became disoriented and dark for the teens as they crossed the path into their own world landing with painful groans in the spot they left at.

"Everyone here?" Kouichi asked as he got to his feet, dusting himself off. A chorus of grunts and groans gave him his answer and he looked around "We're home. "

"Man. . ." Junpei stretched "Am I the ony one that could really go for a cheese burger right now?"

"That, . . is actually a great Idea! Im starving and we've had nothing but coconuts and berries for over a week"

The group of them nodded in understanding, a silent agreement that they were back home and the first thing they were going to do was eat. Kouichi looked at his brother and frowned.

"Are you coming?"

"I dunno . .I wanted to. . .you know.. " Kouji shrugged and spun around to speak with the child of flame "Hey takuya- " He stopped and stared.

Takuya had already left.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The brunette sighed. He ran. The first moment his feet touched the ground he had run off, avoiding his friends sympathetic and happy faces. What he had done was eating away at him. The guilt of what he put them through made it hard to even look at the group of them.

Sitting on the bench at the other end of the park Takuya swung his legs back and forth. Calumon sat quietly in his lap, taking in the sight of the new world. He looked up at his mother when he thought no one was looking and let out a defeated whine. Nothing he did seemed to cheer the human up.

Both of them were brought out of their collective thoughts when a soccer ball rolled up and stopped against takuyas feet. The goggle wearer looked up to see an older brunette running towards them, brown hair spiked up in every direction.

"Heeeeey, sorry 'bout that! ''

"No thats okay. . ." He smiled faintly at the soccer ball. It felt like forever since he had last played. Unable to fight the urge he kicked it back flawlessly from where he sat on the bench.

"Nice kick! you wanna play with us?

"N-no thanks. Maybe another time. "

The older brunette watched him for a moment before walking over and ploping down next to him. "you seem like you need to get something off your mind. I know you don't know me but it always helps to talk to someone about it"

"I...well..." Takuya frowned. Could he really talk to someone he didn't know about how he was feeling about everything? He guessed it could be easier then talking to one of his friends about it despite that they all knew what had happened and this boy didn't "I'm useless..." He finally let out

"Useless? Now why would you think that?"

"I'm supposed to be the leader but I cant do anything right. My friends trusted me and all I ever do is make mistakes. " He looked down at his hands and whined softly.

"Well..." The older boy looked up at the sky for a moment and smiled faintly in nostalgia "Making mistakes is part of being human and being the leader is a really tough job. You feel like the safety of everyone else depends on you and the actions you make alone...but it doesnt. You being the leader doesnt mean you have to do everything by yourself. Your friends are there to help you make the decisions and even if you argue with them and continuously make the wrong one they'll always forgive you. "

"but...I turned on them..." he said quietly "And I hurt the one I cared about the most. I don't think I could ever forgive myself for that"

"You'll never know till you try right? I mean, is this friend mad at you about what happened?"

"Well no...he already said it wasn't my fault."

"Well then the first step is already done. Now you need to move onto phase two"

"Which is?"

"Talking to him." The older boy said simply "Instead of running away to talk to strangers on park benches."

Takuya couldn't help but chuckle a little. It did sound funny when he put it that way. "Alright...I think I'll try. Thanks for the talk."

"No problem! Us leaders need to keep an eye on each other" The brunette got to his feet and gave the little digimon sitting still at Takuyas side a little knowing pat. "Cute digimon" He smiled and before Takuya could say anything he was running back to the feild where his impatient friends were waiting.

"How did he-"

"Takuya!"

The warrior of flame froze at Koujis voice and looked behind him. Kouji was approaching and he didn't look very happy about him running off. Picking Calumon up with a sigh he got up and made his way to the other boy looking like a puppy who had done something wrong.

"What the hell! You just ran off!"

"Im sorry..."

He waited for more yelling, for the lecture Kouji was known to give the boy whenever he did something stupid but instead he was pulled into a tight hug.

"K-kou?"

"You havent spoken to me all week" The older boy muttered against Takuyas shoulder "I missed your voice."

Takuya blushed a little and smiled, nuzzling the others neck softly "Do you..I want to talk about what happened..." He said quietly, not looking up when Kouji pulled away "Can we go talk at my house maybe?"

"Of course" Kouji smiled, taking he others hand tightly. He was a little nervous about talking over what had happened but he knew it needed to be done.

"Lets go home."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
