Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Cursed Love ❯ The Journey Begins ( Chapter 3 )

"Takuya, can't we take a break," Tomoki asked from behind, "my feet hurt and I'm hungry ..."

"No," Kouji responded still walking keeping his eyes fixed straight a head, "we're not stopping until we get to the East side the forest."

"You can rid on my back," Takuya offered lowering him self slightly looking over his shoulder trying to smile at the little boy.

"Oh for crying out loud," the dark haired boy groaned, "why don't you marry the kid why are at it!"

"For pet's sake! He's just a little kid!" Takuya snapped showing his fangs.

"Forget it," Tomoki said starting to walk.

"Are you sure?"

"Yea. What choice do I have?"

"Actually. Tomoki has the right idea. We should rest. No since for us to wear our selves out." Junpei said.

"Oh fine!"

"Then it's settled then. I'll go get us something to eat. Be back in a flash!"

Takuya was off into the darkness on all fours ....

"Are you sure that he'll be all right by himself?" Tomoki asked with a worried look.

"He maybe small and helpless looking but I a sure you that he can take care of himself." Izumi assured the little boy.

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

The group sat around the fire waited for Takuya to return, just then something came out of the shadows ... it was Takuya with a hand full of what looked like various kinds of food.

"Sorry it took so long," he said walking up, "not everything around here is safe to eat."

"Whoa," Izumi said, "you actually paying attention when I was trying to teach you what was safe and what was not safe to eat."

"Ha. Ha. Very funny," the half-digimon said walking to the fire placing the food down.

Takuya took what he wanted and sat a few feet away from the fire since he was all ready warm from the running. Tomoki looked up his mouth full of food.

"Don't you want to sit by us, Takuya?"

"I would. But since I have fur I don't really need to sit by the fire ... or really that close to it."

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

"Uh ... Takuya," Tomoki said after the others where asleep sitting next to the half-digimon, "I didn't have ..."

"Shhh!"

The little boy looked closely at the half-digimon seeing that he was listening for something .... he too tried to listen but heard nothing.

"What is it? What do you hear?"

"I don't know and I don't like it either. We'll have to leave ..."

"Now? But my feet still hurt ..."

"I know, but right now, we're not safe. Go wake the others .... I'm going to scout ahead ..."

By know Takuya was bounding into the darkness and looked over his shoulder ...

"I'll ketch up with you later!"

Tomoki sighed and started to wake every slowly and the fire was put out and things where packed ... they where soon on there way. It wasn't long before they heard panting and footsteps, Kouji got out his sward ready for anything; he let out an annoying sigh when noticed it was Takuya bounding up.

"Sorry it took so long," he said rising to his feet, "I wanted to scout ahead since something didn't feel right but it turned out be nothing. Now let's go."

To Be Continued ....
