Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Glass & Fire ❯ A Second Chance ( Chapter 8 )

Yamato, after five seconds of shaking Takuya's lifeless body just sat there with nothing but sorrow and grief in his eyes. Taichi kicked some leaves off at a near by bush with his foot as he let out frustrated cry, their Digimon partners watched with worried sad looks ...

After Takuya had gave the last of his energy, the force was so much that it caused Dainamon to cry out in pain and break into little bits of data, it wasn't long before two crystals could be seen; one was blue and the other was green. They where beautiful .. but they had no time to cheer when they acknowledged that Takuya's crystal had shattered causing the forth goggled-boy to fall back his brown eyes from there original color to pure black as he hit the ground with a thud, his eyes slowly closing, his right arm across his chest, his left arm falling slightly to his side.

The two crystals slowly lowered floating close to Taichi as the two rookie Digimon carried the two loners and lied them down. Looking at the crystals was like looking down into someone's soul ...so innocent, scared, and sad ... floating to their owners, Taichi ran to Yamato and lifted his upper body as he watch the blondes eyes tightening, his cheeks turning pink.

"Come on Yama .... open your eyes."

Taichi eyes light up then softened the blonde smiled up at the first brunette, tears started to come down his face as he pulled the blonde's upper body to his chest but got no reaction what so ever. Taichi looked down to see that Yamato was looking over Taichi's shoulder ....

Kouji looked down at his crush in his arms, some strands of lose hair tickling his cheek. The dark haired boy didn't know how to feel other than that his Takuya was gone. He moved the other boy's upper body toward his feeling his eyes starting to hurt; the more he thought about it the more the pain hit his heart. There was times where he wanted to have the forth brunette dead so that he didn't have to think he was in love with him, now that it happened, he started to really regret all the things he ever thought and said to Takuya.

Kouji ...

The dark haired boy looked up and straight ahead to see a young woman with blonde hair, a green dress, slanted black pit eyes and blood red lips and fangs; her face full of peace and her eyes full of regret, sorrow, and pain. Kouji looked at her for one moment then his eyes widen ... Dainamon?

You and Takuya freed me ...

Freed her? Was she in some kind of spell? That explained what happened and what was going on. Kouji looked back down at his crush ... she reached and put her long nail under his chin causing the dark haired to look back at and he could feel nothing warmth through his body ....

It was his love that ...

A smile started to slowly appear on Yamato's face as he felt a fuzzy feeling as he put a hand on his heart closing his eyes ...

"It's over ..."

"Of course, it's over ...."

"No, she has no more pain ... she has been healed ..."

"Oh ..." was all Taichi could say.

Made it possible ... Kouji looked back down trying hold back his tears that where treating to fall knowing full well what she was talking about ... this caused more pain in the dark haired boy's heart. Takuya saved him and it caused his own life because he loved Kouji .... love can heal him too ... What? But he was dead!

"But how?"

You have to show him .... show him? Kouji looked down at Takuya, he looked so soft at the moment; without realizing what he was doing, the dark haired boy turned Takuya slight toward him so that their face's where inches away and pressed his lips against the forth brunette's. Yamato and Taichi gasped when a red crystal took formed and floated to Takuya's chest slowly sinking in. Taichi, Yamato, Gabumon, and Agumon looked hopefully at the forth goggled-boy as Dainamon smiled.

Kouji pulled away when he felt Takuya's breath and a slight moan from the other boy ...

"T-Takuya?"

"Yea. Who else would it be? The boogie man?" The forth brunette whispered a hint of teasing in his voice smiling at everyone then stopped looking Dainamon. "Burninggreymon said that I had hidden powers to save the day and it worked."

"It did," she said looking respectful at the goggled-boy, "and I can't thank you enough ..."

"There's no need for you to get all apologetic on us." Kouji said.

"But there must be something I can do," Dainamon said watching the dark haired boy lifting Takuya off the ground cradling the fragile boy in his arms.

Just then something like rumbling could hard from the forth brunette's chest ...

"Ah. You guys must be hungry. There's not much I can do with that but here's a village about two days from here."

"What?" Both brunette's said at once as Taichi fell on his butt with a (I'm-going-shrivel-away) look.

"Oh, this is it --- we're all going to die --- good-bye."

He fell back causing everyone to laugh knowing that he was playing around. Yamato stepped up and helped his crush to his feet ..

"You kids are all right," Dainamon said, "but there is one thing I can do," pointing her palm at them and large bubble formed around them lifting them off the ground, "this will get you there so you don't have to walk and protect you just in case it rains or something."

"Wait!" Gabumon said as the ball started to carry them away, "don't you want to come with us?"

By that time her form was just a little speck. I wish I could but my destiny is not like yours ... so good luck and don't let people tell you any different about your feelings this caused the four boys to blush like mad. How did she know?

"Yea. Why doesn't she just give all the credit to Takuya," Taichi muttered suddenly.

"You take that back," Kouji suddenly shot back, "if it wasn't for Takuya you wouldn't be holding Yamato's hand right now!"

Both boys froze acknowledge that they really where holding hands, they both looked at each other for one moment breaking the physical warm contact from their hands then looked away blushing. Takuya tried to watch with drowsy half opened eye; he was so tired that he couldn't fight it anymore, he fell a sleep, his ear next to Kouji heart making him feel safe.

To Be Continued ...

Now that the threat is over it's confession time and farewell's. All this and more in the next chapter.
