Author's Note:

This fic was something I wrote years ago. I did a little bit of editing and fixed up a few things but not anything noticeably different. I have reasons for writing this fic. There are a few Digimon characters that stood out to me and I felt like making connections between them and a few characters from InuYasha. This is also kind of a hint of relationships between characters to come in future fanfictions. Just something to keep in mind.

The italics will be a character's thoughts.

The bold will be the villain's dialogue.

It was a typical weekend when Kouji woke up from his bed and glanced up at the window that was leaking light into the room. It was a bit early in the day and the sky was clear of clouds. He got up from his bed and opened the window. He breathed in some fresh air and smiled. It has been two years since he and his friends saved the Digital World and there has been peace since they left. Kouji was taking in the peaceful environment when he suddenly looked towards the train station. He sensed something and it was not the most pleasant presence he felt before. He frowned as he tried to determine what the presence was. Whatever it was, it was not a digimon.

Kouji got dressed and headed outside. He walked into the station and glanced around. He tried to sense the presence again but it was no use. It was definitely not around anymore. What exactly was that? Usually I sense digimon, but today it seems like there is something else crawling about.

Kouji kept walking around the train station to see if he could sense it again. As he glanced around he looked towards the benches and was surprised to find Kouichi sitting on a bench. Taking a closer look, Kouji noticed something was bothering him with the frown that was stuck on Kouichi's face.

Kouji yelled as he walked towards Kouichi. "Hey Kouichi!"

Kouichi looked up and smiled at Kouji. It has been too long since he has seen his brother. Kouichi stood up and walked over to Kouji.

"Hello little brother." smiled Kouichi. He slowly put his arms around his younger twin brother and pulled him into a gentle embrace.

"Kouichi." Kouji said "You know you don't have to pretend to be happy. If there is something wrong, you can tell me."

Kouichi mentally sighed and let go of his brother. He just looked at him with an expressionless face. Then his eyes softened and he smiled tenderly. "Why Kouji, what do you mean? I have no idea what you are talking about."

Kouji's expression didn't change. He knew his brother was lying just by looking into his eyes. He knew his brother had sensed something. What bothered him was that Kouichi didn't admit it. Every time Kouichi felt something Kouji would feel it too. Their souls were bonded with so much power that they both felt each other's emotions.

"Kouichi, didn't you sense that presence earlier? You have the same abilities as I do. I know you couldn't have missed it."

Kouichi sat down on the bench. He closed his eyes and a grin slowly grew on his face. After a few minutes of silence he looked up at his brother. "I guess there is no fooling you is there?"

Kouji just blinked. He then sat down next to Kouichi and looked toward him with a worried look in the eyes.

"Kouichi, when things are bothering you, I know. I can feel what you're feeling. Don't think that I don't know. Whatever you feel I feel it too. I know something's bothering you. You can't hide your emotions from me."

Kouichi frowned. He didn't want to know that Kouji felt something that was dangerous. No. That would upset his brother. Part of why he didn't want Kouji upset was that he felt responsible for Kouji's suffering. The other part was that Kouji was so concerned of everyone but himself. His brother could be in the worst scenario and all he could think about is having his friends safe. That was just the way his brother was after he returned from the Digital World. Kouji used to be bitter and have an attitude towards everyone. But that was no longer the case and Kouichi was grateful for that.

"Kouji."

"Yeah?"

"Um, there is something I want you to do."

"What is it?"

Kouichi clenched his fists. "Why? Why must you always get involved with everything? Can't you just let things go?"

Kouji was taken back. This was typical behavior of his brother but still . . . He crossed his arms and smiled.

"Hmph. If you think I'm going to let you fight by yourself then you are in over your head. I'm going to go with you whether you like it or not."

"But what if you got hurt?"

Kouji smiled and winked. "Then I guess you have to make sure I don't die."

Their fun was short-lived when the ground started to shake. The lights went out and crowds of people were yelling and rushing towards the exit.

"Kouji, I sense it! It's coming from the tunnel!"

They both ran and headed straight for the tunnel. As they jumped into the darkness of the tunnel a red glow appeared in front of them. Out of the darkness of the tunnel appeared a huge dragon with orange and gold scales shining dully. His eyes were green as algae and the claws were black as coal.

"Heh, Heh, Heh . . ." Sneered the dragon. "I haven't enjoyed some marvelous prey in years. I'm sure you'll be entertaining to hunt."

The dragon launched towards the twins and tried to devour them. The twins dodged and fell on the tracks. Kouji cursed as he felt his ankle twist. Dammit! I can't run like this! Kouichi turned to Kouji and placed Kouji on his back. Once he felt that Kouji was secure on his back, he started running towards the end of the tunnel.

Kouji yelled. "You idiot! What are you doing? You'll get us both killed!"

Kouichi turned his head over to Kouji. "I'm not leaving without you! I told you. I won't let you suffer because of me anymore!"

The dragon turned his head towards the twins and headed straight for them. Kouji quickly turned his head.

"He's coming!"

As their luck would have it, Kouichi tripped and the twins fell forward. The dragon rushed towards them with open jaws. The twins glanced up at the dragon in horror.

No!

I can't die yet. Not yet.

Suddenly a bright glow came from their cell phones. The dragon screeched at the glow and moved back. The phones changed into D-tectors. They both looked into the devices and saw their spirits inside. The boys glanced at each other and grinned.

"Do you know what this mean?"

"Yeah, it's time to spirit evolve!"

The dragon growled and hissed. "Enough games! I will kill you once and for all! Once I destroy you, I will finally kill all humans and make them pay for what they did to my kind!"

The dragon whipped around and lashed its tail on the wires that hung from the roof. As it turned around to attack them, the twins held up their D-tectors and unleashed their human spirits. As the twins started to evolve, they felt the power of the spirits cover their bodies. When the transformations were complete the twins leaped on the tracks and prepared themselves for an attack. Lobomon prepared for his lobo kendo as the dragon was about to blow a fireball. Lowemon zipped passed the dragon and launched his shadow meteor towards the dragon's head.

The dragon's head was scorched. It screeched and clawed blindly around. Lobomon and Lowemon whipped around the back of the dragon and fired their attacks at the dragon. The dragon yelled and launched towards the twins. The twins swirled around and hit its head with a loud Bang! The twins gasped with awe as they observed their attacks. Did they do that?

What the heck was that? Was that our spirits?

They both listened from themselves as the spirits communicated with them. Do not fear, have your emotions settle and let your minds flow. We are here with you and we will help you to defeat this dragon.

Kouji looked at Kouichi. "Are you ready for this?"

Kouichi smiled and slapped Kouji on the back. "Are you kidding? I was born ready!"

Kouji coughed from the hard slap. "Heh, well that's good to hear."

Kouichi smirked. "Okay. Let's do this!"

The twins prepared themselves for an attack while the dragon got back on its legs and wobbled towards the twins. The dragon snarled angrily and began to reboot its power. "Never thought that a couple of brats would do this much damage. I guess I'm going to have to use that special power."

The dragon raised its claws and slammed them against the ground. Blades of fire shot up from the ground and headed straight for the twins. The twins closed their eyes, shut off their minds and let the Digimon get in control of them. They felt themselves leap over the dragon and launched their attacks towards the top of its head. The Digimon took the power of light and darkness within themselves and created a seal that appeared beneath the dragon. The seal was the symbol of the ying and yang. Dark and light came out of the seal just wrapped itself around the dragon and dragged it down into the dimension it came from. After the dragon was sealed the twins just stared into the distance as they changed back into humans. The spirits of light and darkness stood before them as they slowly started to disappear.

"Farewell Digidestined. We hope that you will find happiness in your future lives."

"What happened to the dragon?"

"We sealed it away into another world. There are only a few powers that can kill a dragon. Neither we nor you could defeat the dragon."

Kouichi stepped towards them. "What do you mean?"

"Only people with spiritual powers can defeat creatures like that."

Kouji placed his hand on Kouichi shoulder. "What will happen to you? Will others be able to defeat it?"

Both Lowemon and Lobomon nodded. "We will assist the others that will defeat the dragon."

After those last words the Digimon disappeared leaving the twins behind.

Years Later . . .

Both of the twins settled down, married, and each had a beautiful daughter that would soon combine their powers to finish their fathers' work and destroy the dragon.
