Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Cursed Love ❯ They Meet ( Chapter 1 )

Legends say that the forest ... the great forest was cursed ... the curse was death but saved one boy who was cursed .... cursed because he felt ugly ... and a girl that wanted to die .....

So our story begins ...

Kouji pulled on the reigns telling his white mustang to stop and carefully got off his horse. He looked around, the wind blowing slowly against his face. He made it. Made it to the great forest, there was no turning back now. He took hold of the reigns and started to guide the horse into the forest.

The forest was dark save but little sunlight that the trees allowed ... as they walked it was getting harder and harder for Kouji to keep the mustang from freaking out.

"Just a little further then we can rest. You're doing a good job."

It wasn't long until they came to a clearing. The ground seamed soft and luscious. Water could also be heard, which meant that there was a stream nearby. Pulling on the reigns, Kouji started to walk forward when a sound made him stop. There's that sound again, Kouji thought, looking to both sides of him. He was reaching for his bow and arrow when suddenly something came out of the tree toward him. It had large green/yellow eyes, fangs, a human-like body, a real bushy tail with elf-like ears.

They both went crashing to the ground as the creature took hold of the arrow in its mouth and tried to yank it out of the other boy's hand.

"Down, Takuya! Heal!!" came a voice.

Kouji turned his head to see a young girl about his age. She had long golden hair and big green eyes. The creature pulled away with great guilt in his eyes.

"Bad, Takuya! Bad!"

******************

"So? Talk." Izumi said, placing a bowl of water on the floor, "there's a reason why you're here."

It took a few moments for Kouji to find his tongue since he was not used to having someone act sort of between a cat/dog as he watched Takuya lick out of the bowl like a cat.

"Ignore him and tell me what it is that you are after," Izumi said snapping the other boy back to reality.

"Yes. The reason I'm here is that I'm looking for a rare flower that can save my brother."

"Rare flower huh?" The blonde girl said walking to what looked like a shelf of old books about at least a thousand years old, "when you said flower, you didn't mean any rare flower ..."

She pulled out a book, walked up, and sat down opening the book.

"All right. Start talking."

"The rare flower is called Peda ...."

Izumi opened the book and started to flip through the pages and slowed down then she stepped as Takuya sat next to her looking at the page as well.

"Wait a minute! I've seen the flower before ..."

"You have? Where?"

"East. Toward the rocky mounts."

"Thank you so much ...."

"Wait ..."

**********************

Kouji swirled the sward around after he whistled for his horse. I'm not going to give up! Everyone back at the village is counting on me to save Kouichi... I'm not going to let my brother die ... he's my only family I have left!

"You won't make it." Takuya said rising to his feet, "the place is crawling with spirits. Some are nice and some are not."

"And I suppose you know around them?" Kouji mocked.

He was not in the mode for games! He had a brother to save!

"As a matter a fact," Takuya responded stretching like a cat scratching the ground as if it was a scratching post, "I do."

"Can't you act more civilized?" Izumi asked walking up as the half-digimon boy straighten up brushing his hands off.

"Don't make me --- huh?"

Takuya turned his head to see that Kouji has gotten his horse and was all ready off.

"Damn it, Izumi! We've got to stop him!"

The half-digimon got on all fours and started too bound after the other boy.

*****************

Kouji looked around. Why did he have a strange feeling that he was being watched? His answer came one second later when Takuya tackled him to the ground.

"Open your eyes, Kouji! They'll tare you apart! They'll curse you, Kouji!"

"He's right, Kouji," Izumi said walking her eyes slightly clouded, "there's no since for you to go ...."

"Shows what little you know about me." The dark haired boy said pushing Takuya off.

"All right! We'll take you on one condition. You never come back or speak to now one about this place."

"You beat I wont. You guys are freaks."

The vibes went from okay to worse making Kouji feel that he shouldn't have said that.

"Takuya wait!!"

The dark hared boy turned to see that the half-digimon took off running. Izumi turned with great anger in her eyes.

"That was really mean!! Do you know how long it took for me to help him get over the fact that he's not a freak?"

She then took off running with a great burst of speed. Kouji slumped with a sigh as a drop of sweat came down his face. He really wasn't to have that type of affect on someone. He was so use to of someone punching him or calling him names. Not run away.

****************

"AAAA!"

Neemon and his partner sat up violently to see a human tumbling down a hill. They both got up and started to run as the human laid there shaking in pain. He had short spiky hair chubby face.

"Bokmon, is that a human?"

"Of course it's a human!"

"I didn't know that humans can smell." Neemon responded bring his face closer to the chubby boy and sniffing.

"Neemon, stand back! You don't know where this human came from!"

"Ohhhh ...."

Both Digimon stepped back as the chubby boy opened his eyes ... the first thing his did after he took one look at the Digimon as a drop of sweat came down his face was scream as he sat straight up. His scream made the two Digimon's scream too.

"Okay! We can stop screaming now!" Bokmon yelled.

"Are you really Digimon's?"

"I don't know. Are we?" Neemon asked.

SMAK!

Bokmon had hit this friend on the side of the head with a bat with an annoyed look on his face. After Bokmon had calmed down he looked back at the human.

"You are correct. We are Digimon. I'm Bokmon and this is Neemon. What brings you to the forest?"

"I was ..."

"Takuya please ..."

"Huh?"

They all turned to see a young girl with long blonde hair running after what looked like half-digimon half-human.

"Izumi ...?"

"Huh?" She stopped for a moment and recognized the two Digimon's, "Bokmon, Neemon?"

Her face light up forgetting all about Takuya as she ran started to carefully run down the hill toward her little friends.

****************************

Takuya looked at his reflection in the water. His green/yellow cat like eyes staring back at him. I don't understand? Am I really that freakish looking? Is that the reason I'm cursed? Because I'm a freak? He then turned when he felt someone watching him to see that it was Kouji. They didn't look at each other for very long ... when.

"Help!"

They both turned their heads toward the river to see a little boy floating down the rapists trying to keep his head up. Takuya's eyes widen knowing what was going to lie ahead if he didn't save the human. Death. He immediately got on all fours running straight into the water swimming for the human child.

Kouji how ever ran along the river bank trying to keep taps on them to make sure that they where all right. He stopped for a moment wondering why he was suddenly feeling worried about that half-human half-digimon boy ... he snapped out of his thoughts when he realized that they where drifting away. He took off running and sound of rushing water could be heard. That sounds like ... I better hurry!

************************

Takuya managed to get a hold of the human child and swam to a rock telling him to hang on. The boy did as he was told when he heard his name being called, Takuya looked a head to see that Kouji standing on one of the rock and had thrown a rope to them. The little boy tried to each for the rope but it was to far for him to reach. Takuya took hold of the rope and slightly pulled on and the little boy got it; Kouji started to pull when noticed that it was hard for Takuya to hold on.

"Look out!" The little boy cried looking over his shoulder seeing a log coming toward Takuya.

The half-digimon's eyes widen in horror including Kouji's and the little boy's.

WAM!

The log hit the rock breaking it in two .... everyone watched in horror as the big log floated down the river and soon down the water fall.

"TAKUYA!!!"

*****************

The little boy, Kouji, Izumi, the chubby boy ( Junpei ), Neemon, and Bokmon followed down the path that lead to the end of the water fall where they found Takuya lying on the river bank the two logs lying right on top of him. Gasping in horror, they all ran up pulling the logs off .... Takuya looked really bad. He had bad scrap on the side of his chest .. near his heart; blood was running down his left leg and right arm.

"This is my entire fault." The little boy said, "if I didn't let the other boy's push me into the river none of this would've happened."

"It ... It wasn't your fault ..." Takuya breathed.

"That's explains why you are here but what are you doing here Junpei? I thought I told you to stay behind and guard the village!" Kouji snapped.

"I know! But the villagers are getting reckless .... they think your dead all ready ..."

"Can we argue about that later! We've got to get Takuya to my hut!"

"Right!"

**************************

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Tomoki asked sadly.

"Of course he will, young man," Bokmon said in a mater-of-fact expression, "we Digimon are primitive spices ... even if we die .... we are reborn ...."

"Oh wow! I wish I could be digimon too!"

"No, you don't," Takuya breaths, "you never die ... humans hate you and ..."

"Okay we get the point," Izumi said sitting next to her friend, "this going to hurt so I need you guys to hold him."

"What?"

Before Takuya could do anything; Junpei and Kouji held him down as she took some crushed leaves and placed them on his wound that was on his chest causing the half-digimon to scream in pain as he thrashed around ...

"I'm sorry, Takuya ...." Izumi chocked as the other had tears in their eyes including Kouji who was secretly blaming himself for what Takuya was going through.

That's when Kouji, Tomoki, and Junpei noticed that the wound started to heal leaving a white mark on his chest and that Takuya had passed out from the pain.

Like? Hate It? I'll continue this if you want me too ... and I had fun writing this I might.
