Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Deaf & Mute ❯ Apologizes ( Chapter 5 )

By KellyQ

Kouji watched with great anger as Takuya sat by Izumi's side as she laid there unconscious. Takuya looked very miserable not even taking note that Kouji was in the room. I'm going to kill who ever did this! That person has no right to inflict pain on Takuya like this! His thoughts where interrupted by foot steps coming toward the room; he turned his head to see a boy about his age but he was a little chubby with blue eyes and spiky hair.

The boy stopped with pain and guilt in is eyes, that's when he felt eyes on him; he turned to see who was staring at him.

"Who are you ... wait," Kouji said looking at the boy more closely recognizing him ...

The first thing the dark haired boy did was grabbed the other boy and slammed him to the wall...

"Come to finish the job?"

"I don't .... I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me! You where the one who hit Izumi ....!"

"I swear! I didn't mean to hurt anyone .... I was just taking my parents car for a spin when I lost control of it ... I swear it!"

Kouji sneered when Takuya walked up pulling the other boys hand away making baby sounds as he moved his hands here and there in the air. The chubby boy nodded his head completely understanding.

"You can understand what he was just saying?"

"Of course. I have a chosen that is deaf too ..."

"And who are suppose to be?"

"Junpei," the other boy said extending his hand out.

Kouji just looked at it for one moment then turned his head, his nose slightly in the air.

"Get out."

"What? I can't do that! I have to make sure Izumi is okay! It was my fault that I all most killed her!"

"Oh .... now he finally admits he's guilty .... let's give him a big hand ladies and gents." Kouji said with a mocking expression.

Junpei just growled his hands clenched; by know Kouji was in the same position. Takuya bit the bottom of his lip; he had to do something but what? He really wanted to tell Kouji to calm down but he wouldn't unstained if he said that in sing language .... so he used the next thing he could think of .... he stepped closer to Kouji and hugged him. The dark haired boy stiffened; why was Takuya hugging him?

"At least someone knows who's being a jerk around here!"

Kouji's body tensed again letting out a low growl until he felt Takuya's hand up and down his back. Please, Kouji ... please don't be mad ... was all the brown haired boy could think about as he rubbed Kouji's back. The sensation did feel good but he was not in the mood to be comforted. That's when movement caught Takuya's eye; he turned his head to see Izumi's hand moving.

Without realizing what he was doing, Takuya slightly moved Kouji out of the way and ran to Izumi's side; Junpei noticed this too and ran to the other side of the bed chewing the bottom of his lip. She just has to pull through ... she just has too ... Junpei kept on looking down at her; she looked so helpless and fragile that it took a lot of will power for him not to touch her fear that she'd die ... so he just landed closer and whispered in her ear.

Takuya tilled his head smiling sadly. Even though he recognized who the boy was as the one who hit Izumi he was just glad that this boy took an after to come and apologize for what he did.

"What's ... who are you?"

It was Mrs. Right at the door way ...

"Mrs. Right, meat the one who hit Izumi," Kouji said in a mocking tone as Junpei sharply turned glaring at the dark haired boy.

"Ma'm, I didn't mean for anything to happen ... I didn't mean to lose control of the car either ... I ---"

"Have you done volunteering."

"Oh good grief." Was all Kouji could say.

He turned and walked out hearing the two talk. He walked outside reached for his head-phones and they where on his ears in no time. It wasn't long before he felt a soft tap on his shoulder; Kouji turned his head to see Takuya looking a little worried.

"So when do I start?"

"Lets not jump, Junpei," Mrs. Right said, "come by my office next week and bring your resume with you too."

"Anything to make up for what I did! See you then!"

Takuya couldn't help but chuckle seeing how the other boy ran off as though he was struck by an arrow.

"Come you too. I have to get you back."

Kouji walked into the room and the first thing he wanted to do was to see if Takuya was all right; the first thing he saw was the brown haired boy laying face down on his bed, his shoulders shaking a little. He's not crying, is he? Kouji walked up sat next to the deaf boy who didn't same to notice that someone was there. The dark haired boy sighed extended his hand and started to rub Takuya's back ... Kouji couldn't help but smile a little feeling the other boy relax in his touch.

Takuya finally turned until he was sitting up with a soft smile causing Kouji to smile too. The brown haired boy made a small squeak as his face light up as though he finally turned the dark haired boy's light (that was in side ) on as he through his arms around Kouji again pulling him close ... it took a moment to really realize what was really going on .... finally Kouji put his arms around Takuya ... feeling the urge to hold him close too ... so that's what he did ... feeling the other boy hide his face in his shoulder taking a deep breath.

He smell's so good, Takuya thought inhaling his sent, I just wish that he could understand me ... so I can tell him how I really feel ... I just wish things didn't have to be this way. I'm sorry Izumi ....
