First time uploading a story here.

I hope you all like it. First chapter of "Denial". If I make any mistakes please let me know and I'll fix them.

WARNINGS – Story was rated 'M' for a reason. In this chapter there is mild cursing but not that much.

DISCLAIMER – I do not own Digimon, only the plot of the story and a few extra characters, that's it.

"Looks like rain again." A muffled voice lazily stated getting up off the bed of a messy, but somewhat organized room.

"I could have sworn it stopped raining like ten minutes ago, right Takuya? Takuya!"

"What? You say something Kouji?" Takuya yawned and fell right back on to the bed he was laying on before.

"Dammit Takuya-" Kouji started as a boy with similar features put his hand on his shoulder.

"Kouji, c'mon give Takuya a break. I wouldn't blame him for being bored. This weather's enough to get anyone feeling a little down."

Kouji sighed and sat himself down in a chair in front of the computer. The boy made his way over to the bed where Takuya resided, only to trip over a backpack and a few textbooks lying on the floor. He managed to land on his feet though. Naturally he was tactful, swift and light on his feet.

"Typical." Kouji muttered to himself, hoping his brother Kouichi wouldn't hear.

"What was that Kouji?" Kouichi said as he glanced over his shoulder to his easily angered twin. Kouji grunted in response to his brother's innate hearing ability.

"Where should I start-"

"Here comes the lecture." Takuya smirked.

"What do you mean 'lecture'?" A questioning and confused look made it's way onto Kouji's pale but beautiful face. His sapphire eyes glared at Takuya, who seemingly lost interest in what Kouji's response would be.

"You always rant about several things at once that it's so hard not to call your rants 'lectures'. " Kouichi calmly said as sent a smile towards Kouji. A sinister smile that somewhat questioned and annoyed Kouji to the fullest extent.

"Then I'll shorten it. Takuya, CLEAN UP YOUR DAMN ROOM, SOMEONE COULD SERIOUSLY TRIP AND HURT THEMSELVES! And Kouichi, you know what, never mind." With that Kouji focused on the computer rather than the other two.

It was pretty obvious that Takuya and Kouichi were subtly and playfully bullying Kouji. They were both so used to Kouji's complaints that the day just wouldn't seem normal without hearing him complain once. Of course Kouji would only complain when it involved Takuya's so called 'stupidity', even though they all had matured dramatically since they left the Digital World. It had been five years since they had been last been there. He was also a bit of a troublemaker. He'd push things to their limit and always tried to get a laugh out of it. His sarcasm and wit combined with his cruel yet odd sense of humor could be enough to get anyone to go insane. In other words, Kouji was extremely reckless.

Takuya had changed a little bit but not much. He complained a lot more than Kouji and the only thing that really changed was that Takuya seemed a lot more spaced out then back then. He was scared to death of the situations Kouji would get them into and always nagged him, though it'd have no effect.

Kouichi had gained the most maturity of them all and Kouji always called him a 'damn pacifist' as he would argue with Takuya. Kouichi seemed a lot happier than in the Digital World, in fact he seemed more confident, keen and swift.

As for the other Digidestined, Izumi had moved back to Italy and according to a few of her letters, she had made a few more friends. She eventually got over her crush on Takuya and had obviously moved on because she is currently going out with an Italian boy named Sam. Since Junpei and Tomoki lived farther away from the others, they were more difficult to contact. Junpei had lost a little weight and he wrote that he occasionally does magic shows in the park for kids. Tomoki had joined the soccer team and had also made a few friends who helped him when he needed to stand up to bullies. Only Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi lived close enough so that they could see each other everyday. They had no idea that their friendship was soon to be challenged.
