Takuya\'s Diary

Chapter Two: From
the Heart

KellyQ

I woke up after having that same dream relating to Takuya\'s
death. I turned my head and realized that I fell a sleep on the
couch. Turning my head again was a package; I sat up and looked
at it to see that it was addressed to me. I flinched. Who would
send me a package, it\'s not even my birthday; and even if it
where I would get lame stuff anyways.

Getting up, I stretched letting the blanket fall. Might as
well find out what\'s in there. I stepped over the blanket and
into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. Walking back, I place the
knife on the box as I draped the blanket around me. I took the
knife and cut the box open. Opening it up more great pain hit me.
Inside was some of Takuya\'s belonging; goggles, gloves, lose
pieces of paper and his diary.

The first thing I did was reach for his diary and that\'s when
I noticed a piece of paper taped to his goggles. I put the diary
down took the goggles sat on the couch carefully piled the tape
off unfolded the paper and my heart almost stopped there; in
front of my eyes was a picture of the two of us. Looking closely
at it, it was taken at our favorite spot to eat. But how was this
picture taken? No one had a camera at the time.

Weird.

Looking at the picture closely again, I noticed something in
Takuya\'s eyes; something dark and sad. Oh god! Why didn\'t I see
it before? I\'m such an ass!! Why do I realize things to late?kuyakuya did say that it was because of my thick headedness.

Putting the picture to the side I looked at the letter. Yep.
It was from him. Taking a deep breath I started to read:

Kouji, there are so many things I wanted to tell, so
many things ... I don\'t have time to really tell you what\'s going
on ... just that I\'ll never forget the times we shared ... good
and bad.

I just wish I had more time to tell you what\'s going on
... I told mom what I wanted you to have some things of mine
including my diary. She agreed to it, so she\'s giving you
everything that really meant anything to me.

When you read my diary, Kouji, just try and understand
my confused heart ... that\'s all I ask.

Your friend,

Takuya Kanbara

First off, I should tell about my self. Name is Takuya
Kanbara. A 12-year-old-school boy. My life hadn\'t amount to much
until the day I became a Digidestend. What\'s a Digidestend you
ask? I had no idea what that really meant but saving the world
called the Digital-world.

I\'ll have to tell you. It\'s not your every day theme park.
How I really got there was a blur to me, all I really remember
was that was the day that changed my whole life and makinge
fe
friends with a group of kids.

Izumi was a Tom-boy with a lot of energy and annoying, but
she was caring at the same time. There where times I wondered why
she was like that but something told me that it was a girl thing.

Junpei was just fat and lazy and complained a lot, yet he
was smart.

Tomoki. Not much to say other than he\'s a shrimp. What more
can I say? He\'s small. But when he evolves he\'s strong and really
packs a punch!

There\'s one other person I want to mention but I don\'t even
know his name our where he is other than I can\'t stop thinking
about him.

It just stopped there. I turned the page wanting to read more.
I turned the page back again to look at the date. My eyes widen.
This was the beginning of our adventures and before I met him. I
turned the page and was about to read when I stopped. Since I\'m
going to be sitting here for awhile, might all well get something
to drink.

I took the picture placed where I left off in the diary and
placed it next to me. I got up letting the blanket fall as I
walked to the kitchen. Washing out a tall glass, I opened the
fridge got out a pitcher of lime aid and filled the glass
halfway. Leaving the pitcher on the counter, I walked back into
the living room and got myself comfy when I hard a knock at the
door.

Stuffing the diary under the pillow, I got up and opened the
door to see Tomoki all drenching wet.

"Tomoki, what are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose
to be at school."

"Schools all ready out, Kouji-san. May I come in?"

"Of course." I said stepping aside to let him in.

As soon as he walked passed me I closed the door and turned to
see him getting into the box.

"Tomoki! Get out of there!" I demanded rushing up
and pulling him away.

I closed it up immediately as he looked at me with a slight
hurt look on his face.

"I ... I ... I\'m sorry ..."

"No, I should be saying that," I said with a sigh,
"I really had no right to do that ..."

"Oh ..." Was all he could say ...

I looked closer at Tomoki and for the first time I saw a
flicker of hate and jealousy in his eyes.

"I should go before the whether gets any worse."

He turned and walked out closing the door quite loudly making
wince a little. Standing there for quite some time, I realized
that I was not the only one who loved Takuya.

"I\'m sorry, Tomoki," I whispered, "that things
had to be this way."

I was. I was sorry for a lot of things. Sorry that Takuya is
gone, sorry that I didn\'t tell him how I felt before he passed
away.

I sat down pulled the diary out, opened it up and started to
read the next entry.

To Be Continued ...
