Lonely Wolf

Me: Another no-action chapter. Takuya is now in the real world as his Pico Hybrid, Flamon. We never really find out what's going on with the rest of the CC, so this is what's going on.

Junpei: This chapter goes more into the feelings of Izumi-chan, too.

Me: Hai, it does. I've focused more on the Yasashii-Takuya-Kouji love triangle, but not it takes a twist and is now focasing on the Yasashii-Izumi-Kouji triangle. And will you do the disclaimer?

Junpei: Vanessa doesn't own Digimon Frontier. She also doesn't own "Daybreak", Wada Kouji does. She DOES own Yasashii, her hybrids, ect.

Chapter 8
Who does he love?! Yasashii and Izumi's love problems!

This blowing hot wind is being created, by that shaking land out near the horizon
The wagon tracks on the ground are infinite.

"Mizu-san! Mizu-san!" Yasashii slowly opened her eyes. She saw Izumi, Junpei, and Tomoki watching over her.

She got up. "What happened?" She scanned the area and saw no sign of Takuya. "Where's Takuya-kun?"

"I don't know what happened, but after the fog engulfed us, I was knocked out and the next thing I know, I wake up in our regular forms" Izumi said. Tomoki shook his head.

"Takuya Onii-chan was taken away from the fog" Yasashii felt like breaking down. Kouji almost getting killed because of her, and Takuya missing.

"Where's Kouji-kun?! Is he okay?!" Yasashii demanded.

"He's still wounded, but he's recovering" Junpei said.

"How long was I knocked out?"

"Three days" Bokomon replied. She got up and saw Kouji laying down near her. It was then she noticed it was night time and a fire was going. Izumi yawned and stretched.

"I'm going to sleep, Mizu-san, you watch Kouji-san. I trust you won't do anything?" she added on, glaring at her. Yasashii glared right back.

"Why would I? I don't have any feelings for him" Admitting it to them was harder then she thought it was. She wasn't gonna admit that she loved him, but it still pained her to admit it openly. The threesome fell asleep right away.

Yasashii sighed and looked torwards Kouji. She went over and sat next to him. "Kouji-kun.... this is my fault.... If I hadn't been so helpless, you wouldn't be injured and Takuya-kun would be here" Tears slid off of her cheeks and dropped on Kouji's hand. "Kouji-kun..."

Kouji stirred slightly. "Kouji-kun.....?" She waited.

The truth that we know is not alone at all, it is just in your own parabola
Into the shape of a dream it must be painted.

Kouji felt like he was hit with an one thousand pound anvil. He couldn't feel anything, couldn't move. The next thing he knew, he felt something drop on his hand. It felt like water. He heard faint stiffiling, like somebody was crying. He wanted to see who it was. He tried moving his body, but only stirred. He heard a voice as clear as day.

"Kouji-kun....?" Kouji thanked kami. At least she was safe. He was able to slowly lifted his eyes. The first thing he saw was a tear-stained Yasashii. She litterly glomped him when she saw him awake. "Kouji-kun!!!!!!! You scared me to death! How could you do something like that?!" she sobbed.

"Yasashii-chan.... I need to air to live you know!" Kouji managed to protest. She quickly pulled away.

"Gomen ne Kouji-kun, it's just....." her voice trailed off. "Why? Why did you risk your life for me?"

Kouji expected the question. He saw all the others asleep. 'Finally, I can tell her' He took a deep breath. "You're the only person, ever since my.....never mind about that. Anyway, you're the only person I've let get this close to me. I don't know why I even let you at first, but now I know. It's because.... I..... Watashi wa....../You can do it Minamoto/ I lo... Watashi wa ana.... Wo a-/Why is it so hard?/ You see, Suki.....Watashi..... I.....Wo..... Never mind"

But how many times a voice will be raised, it shall always shout your name
There's no confusion nor anxiousness when the only thing seen is your hope

Yasashii thought of what he would've said if he finished his sentnces. 'Ok, I what? I'm your friend? No he wouldn't say that. I love you? Where did that pop up?!'

Kouji tried to get up, but if he put the slightest pressure on the arm where Duskmon stabbed him, a stinging pain went through him.

"Kouji-kun, don't get up yet" Yasashii said as Kouji lay down. "Let me see the wound" She tried to take the jacket off, but Kouji kept advoiding her.

"I'm fine" he lied, but he moved his shoulder suddenly and pain went through again.

Yasashii frowned. "Stop putting on the 'I'm not hurt' act, Kouji-kun" He took off his jacket and let her look at his arm.

"Is he doing okay?" A voice interrupted. They both turned and saw Izumi leaning against a nearby tree, with glare on her face. The two blushed and Kouji quickly put his jacket back on.

"I was just checking the wound, Orimoto" Yasashii retorted. They glared at each other. Kouji could only stand on the sidelines, wondering why those two fought over him.

Yasashii soon yawned, tired of the glaring contest. "I need sleep you know, I'm sure Kouji-kun needs some too" Yasashii rubbed her arms from the cold. She laid down on the small bed of leaves they made for her. "Oyasumi"

Kouji turned torwards Izumi. "What about you?"

"Fine, fine" Izumi huffed and laid back down onto the ground. 'I'll tell him soon, and when I do, he'll forget about Mizu-san'

And then daybreak will come, come on it's time to fly away
You have now closed a fist and inside of it now power has overflowed
And then daybreak will come, come on it's time to start again
So as you flap your wings, from you will come Daybreak!

Kouji just lay there, he couldn't get to sleep. 'How could I chicken out like that? It's just a few words, depending on what you say. I love you, watashi wa anata suki desu, wo ai ne, why can't I say any of them?' He looked over at Yasashii, noticing she was shivering uncontrolably. He sighed, took his jacket off, and put it over her.

Izumi saw this through her half closed eyes. 'Why? I'm freezing to death out here, but he lends his jacket to her! Nande, doshite?"

Yasashii woke up feeling really warm, but didn't know why. She was freezing to death last night, and wakes up warm? She moved slightly, then noticed something on top of her. She looked at and blushed. Kouji's jacket. She looked over at Kouji, his bandana near him, without his jacket, sleeping peacefully.

"Kawaii...." she whispered.

"Since when does Kouji-san allow you to call him 'kawaii'?" A voice sneered. Yasashii didn't have to even turn around.

"You're just jealous because he's closer to me then you, Orimoto" she replied back.

"You know he's only doing it because your his friend. He doesn't want to break your fragile little heart. He'll never love you, heck, I bet he's pretending to be your friend!" Izumi spat all those words from her tongue.

Yasashii felt like a million daggers pierce her heart. She was right, Kouji would never love her. How does she know he's even her friend? Tears thretened to come out, but she held them back.

Izumi congratulated herself for doing that. 'Now the target's open' Yasashii threw the jacket near Kouji.

"I, uh, have to go" Yasashii ran off into who-knows-where. Izumi smirked and walked over to Kouji.

"Kouji-san, wake up, it's morning"

Breaking through the skies on the other side of the new place you are planning to go to soon
You go so merrily, as if dancing

Kouji woke up, expecting Yasashii to greet him, but saw Izumi instead. "Izumi, where's Yasashii-chan?" he asked.

"She went on a walk, she can handle hereself. She has both her spirits, right?" Kouji had to agree. He was sure Yasashii would be safe.

"I have something to tell you Kouji-san" Izumi lowered her voice as her face got closer to his. Kouji's face started getting hot. "Watashi wa anata suki desu"

"Na....nani?" was all Kouji managed to say as Izumi leaned closer and closer.... Just when her lips were centimeters from his, he was able to pull away.

"I have to go, Izumi-ch...san" Kouji quickly took off, despite his arm. He couldn't believe it! He let Izumi get close to him, almost kissing him! And what's more, he almost used -chan!

'What's wrong with me? I don't have any feelings for her! Why couldn't I pull away right after she said that?!'

And if you fall down, you must stand because they are already growing strong enough for this
They are the unchangeable thoughts in your own heart.

Kouji soon stopped at a pool with a waterfall falling down onto it. He saw an opening through the waterfall that lead into a cave behind. He managed to crawl through.

'This is a good place to think' he thought as he climbed through. It was relativitly cool, a little damp, but okay. He immeadiently heard someone crying. Yasashii?

He went deeper into the cave and saw Yasashii laying back on a rock, crying. Kouji immeadiently ran to her.

"Yasas-" She noticed him and quickly took off before Kouji could comfort her.

"What's wrong with her?" he muttered to himself and ran after her.

Yasashii ran through the cave, blinded by her tears. How could she face Kouji?! She soon tripped on a rock. She quickly picked herself up, and was about to take off when she felt a pair of arms around her. Yasashii's heart started to race and she found herself blushing...again.

"It's okay...." Kouji whispered in her ear. Yasashii stood frozen there, but was soon struggling to get free. But even though Kouji's grip was gentle, she couldn't get free. Kouji relunctently let go. "Why? Why are you advoiding me now?" he asked.

"I don't think we should see each other any more. It's apparant you only protect me because I am just a helpless girl who relies on others" Yasashii answered, not facing Kouji. Kouji immeadiently understood.

"It's Izumi, isn't it? Don't worry about her, she's been wanting my feelings since....well, maybe when we met. She's just jealous" Kouji then something he shouldn't have said. "But she got pretty close to me and almost kissed me too" The next thing he knew, a hand came in contact with his face.

"What do you mean?! I thought you had more sense with that Kouji-kun!" Yasashii screamed in his face. Kouji touched the cheek where it was still red by her slap.

"Yasashii-chan, I didn't mean for it to come out that way...."

"Kouji-kun, you always say that! Why don't you say in my face 'I want to hurt Mizu Yasashii' instead of making up excuses?!" Yasashii continued screaming. "Why didn't you let me die when Duskmon had the chance to kill me?!" Evrey word was like a knife stabbed in his heart. She gave him a slap on the other cheek, then ran out of the cave.

Kouji just froze there, staring at the retreating figure.

It's good if you can sing like you could laugh again if you are angry
There is no escape and there is no maze, so someday you will go see the light!

"Yasashii....chan" Kouji whispered.

Yasashii ran as fast as she could, not caring about the ache in her legs.

"Yasashii!" "Kouji-san!" She heard the others call out. "Kouji DARLING!" Yasashii's anger was way over the peak. She soon reached the threesome.

"Mizu-san! Where's Kouji darling?!" Izumi demanded. She was met with a slap and a back slap.

"Yasashii Onee-san! What's wrong?" Tomoki asked worridly, having seen the slap. Junpei couldn't believe it. Yasashii just slapped Izumi! Not just slapped, even back slapped her!

"Are you okay, Izumi-chan?!" He asked. He turned torwards Yasashii. "Why did you do that?!" Junpei demanded.

"Why? Why did you do it, Orimoto?" Yasashii whispered. "Why did you hurt me just to get Kouji-kun?!"

"It's your fault that Kouji darling doesn't like you, being helpless and evreything...." She was met with another slap. Tomoki ran to Yasashii and hugged her.

"Stop it Yasashii Onee-san!" He cried out despratly.

"Don't....talk....about...me....that...way" Yasashii seethed. Tomoki started crying.

"Stop Yasashii Onee-san...." he sobbed. Yasashii payed no heed. She raised her hand, preparing for another slap, but a voice stopped her.

"Stop, Yasashii-chan" the voice froze her in mid-slap. "Why are you doing this?" Yasashii dropped her hands to her side, but she balled them up into fists.

"I geuss you do like her, Minamoto-kun" she spat. She had the urge to hit both of them.

"Yasashii-chan, it's not that...." Kouji started.

"Don't call me Yasashii-chan!" Yasashii snapped. She turned around and punched him.

And then the sun will rise, come on let's go and start running
The mountains will rise now, the rivers shall flow on, they have power to give
And then the sun will rise, come on place it now onto your chest
Shining towards you is the new coming Daybreak!

Duskmon watched this in the shadows. 'Why? Why did I feel guilty when I stabbed him? Why do I feel angry at Gentle Water now?! She slapped both of them, and punched them! I should be happy, but I'm not. Why?!' The black fog appeared around him.

"Don't listen to those feelings, Duskmon. You just want to kill them...." A voice whispered.

"Kill..... yes, I shall...." The black fog got bigger. It completely engulfed him.

The Chosen Children noticed the same black fog gathering. "Run!" Kouji said to them, but it was too late. The fog rapidly engulfed them.

Yasashii: Next time!

Ranamon: Ohohohoho! We got you now!

Kouji: Leave them alone!

Yasashii: How come you didn't get caught?

Kouji: Do....you still hate me?

Agunimon: Burning Salamander!

Yasashii: Takuya-kun! You're back!

Kouji: Next time! Trust is not easy! The Chosen Children in doubt! Join us next time!
