I do not Own Digimon. Toei, Saban, and others do, so don't sue me! Ah, if only I did, then... *giggles a bit...* Yamato Sama! Ken Sama! *-* (aside from that, I also don't own the song "Negai kanaeru Kagi", It's Yamato's song... and I really loved it... so I just used it here for writing purposes...)
Ken- Well... she also doesn't own TV Tokyo either for that matter.
Sakura- o.O;; Ken? OMG, it's Ken Sama!!! Well, I was just writing a story about you!
Oh, yeah....
But on the other hand, I DO OWN THIS STORY!
Ken- and she owns other named non-digimon-characers, I think....
Sakura- Well, this is just a Kenato/ Yaken/ Yamaken fic for you to enjoy... a bit angsty, so if you're squeamish, DO NOT READ! Yaoi/ Shounen ai involved. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
~*Dedication*~
To Kupoke chan, the way biggest best friend in the whole wide world! (and anyhow Kupoke Chan, I thought that I could at least do something for an EXTREMELY belated b-day present for your post-post-post-post happy 4^th of July b-day, ne? ^-^ ) I hope that you'll like it! Aside from that, I also thank you or all the animé that you've lent me... ^_^ Arigatou Gozaimasu!

**I just am**
Part one.
Ken was walking down the street, coming back from soccer practice, and as usual, felt a bit of a rush after playing, as well as a slight fatigue trying to get a hold of him. But, as usual, he wouldn't hear of it...
When he got home, his mother was not there, nor was his father.
He just sighed, went to his room, and unloaded his things on top of his bed. Minnomon was waiting for him there.
"Ken chan!" The little green thing just threw itself at him, and thus gave him a glomp.
"Oh... hey Minnomon..." his confidence was not there like usual... something seemed to be amiss...
"What's wrong, Ken chan...?" said Minnomon, a bit worried this time, seeing that Ken was now depressed really worried him now...
"Remember how I used to be in the top of the classes?"
"Uh-huh..."
"Well... it seems that I'm losing my touch... I'm actually moving a bit farther down the line... and aside from that, I just don't care that much about school... I just simply don't know what the hell is wrong with me..."
"You just lost your focus... all you need to do is to focus on something, and then you'll get that back. I just know you can, Ken chan!"
He just looked at his little Digimon partner, gave a slight mirthless smile, and said
"I'll try and do that."
* * *
His mother came home a couple of two hours later, while Ken was deeply entrenched with his studies for his trigonometry test for the following day.
Then, there was a ring... the phone was ringing.
"Hello," said Mrs. Ichijouji in her trademarked cheery tone, "this is the Ichijouji residence! How may I help you?"
"Uh... this is Hikari. I was just calling to see if I could talk to Ken for a little while. Do you think I can?"
His mother just smiled snuggly to herself, and said "Ken, phone call for you!"
Ken, who was then just paying attention to his mother's words, just complied by saying "Hai, Okaa san, I'll be right there in a second!"
~ ~ ~
"Hello?"
"Oh, hey Ken! This is Hikari."
"Oh, hey... what's up that you're calling me instead of mailing me?"
"Well, I just wanted to tell you if you wanted to come to a party with all of the gang. You know, us, and the older digidestined. We're going to my friend's party, her name's Sakura Fujisaki. She's in your class, right? Well, we were hoping that you'd come, since we'd think that you might want to have a bit of fun with us, and not having to worry about anything happening in the Digital world...so... how about it...?"
Ken just sat there on the stool that was beside his phone... thinking... and then just simply stated "Okay, but I'll have to ask Okaa san first. Be right back."
After a gleeful consent on part of his mother, he was told when and how he was going to be picked up, and where Minnomon would be put while he would be away.
A couple of two hours later, he was on his way to Sakura's residence, which was known to be quite a big mansion, and was there with Takeru, Miyako, Hikari, Daisuke, and Iori packed in the back of Mr. Ishida's van. As they got there, they could hear a live band playing there.
"Oh, that sure is some great voice that I hear. I wonder who it is...?" asked Ken.
"Oh, that's Matt. Didn't I tell you that he had his own band?" said Takeru, who was sitting right next to Ken. Ken just looked a bit puzzled and said, "Oh, then I guess that I didn't tell you, right?"
"No, you never did."
"Well, guys, off you go. Takeru, can you please open the passenger door?" asked Ishida san.

"Sorezore aruiteku michi no, tochuu de oretachi deatta Minna chigau mono wo mune ni, idaiterun da..."
~Wow... that's really good singing...~said Ken, a bit more awed at the blond guy that was singing in front of him... obviously not just to him, but mainly for everyone...
"Tatakau kimochi no tonari ni, yowaki ni naru kokoro mo aru Sonna toki mo nakama wa, iru wasurerun ja nai
Shimaikonderu buki wo... ima tsukawazu ni dou suru!? Hame hazushitatte ii ja nai ka Osoreru na massugu ni ikeba iin da
Negai kanaeru kagi sono te ni aru Michi e tsunagaru doa sugu me no mae Wakiagaru kodou shinjireba ii Aratana sekai wo hiraku no sa "
After that, Ken was just awed at the blond, and was mesmerized with his vocal genius.
The only thing is... that as he was staring at him.. he also noticed that Yamato was staring straight back at him...! No mistake about that... mainly since they were in the `front row' of the masses of people assembled.
"Wow... I guess that Yamato's a really great guitar player.. as well a really great singer." Said Ken rather a bit enthusiastically...
"Well, he is... and after all that practice, it really pays off since he already has a contract.. I mean, the group has one, for doing these songs for anime series...the best way to promote your musical talents!"
"Oh... really..." ~This sounds interesting...~
"Yeah.. what I heard was that he was going to sing for this new anime series called `Daijoubu Sakura sama!' I personally think that it might do very well."
"Well... looks like he's got it going, ne...? well, I guess that I'll just try to do something.. good... see ya later, Takeru."
"Yeah, see ya later, Ken."
* * *
Ken went into the house, and saw a couple of people playing Donkey Madness... something he used to play... and just sat there next to them, seeing the people play the game.
All of a sudden, Yamato was at the door, and quickly sat down next to Ken. When this happened, there was an exodus on part of the other kids in the room that were playing and watching the game. They felt that they didn't want to be in the same place where Yamato was at, mainly because all the other girls usually are gushing at him.
"Hey, how's it going, Ken...?" Said Yamato with a flashy smile.
Ken, in turn, just momentarily panicked... for some unknown reason.
"I... uh... I'm... I'm... yeah, I'm fine, thanks. How about you? I've seen how you're doing your performances, and I think that you're a great singer. Takeru told me that you have a contract with a TV anime series that's going to come out.. right...?"
At this, he looked at Ken, and again smiled.
"Ah, Takeru. Talking about things before I was going to tell everyone else. Well, yes, that's true. Teenage Wolves are going to hit big with this one, because the deal's from TV Tokyo."
~TV Tokyo... be afraid, be very afraid, all you other rival animé producers... TV Tokyo is what launches every mostly successful anime singers, bands, as well as voice actors, into the big market.~
"TV Tokyo, huh...? Wow, you must have hit it big then. ^_^ That's good! I hope you do your best. Ganbatte, ne?"
"Ah... hai, hai..." At this, He winked at Ken...who really was thinking ~Uh.. what's he doing.. is he trying to pick me up or something...? Is he Flirting with me...? Wow...~
"Well, Ken, I have to go. I have the next song in a couple of minutes, but I'll have to review that with the rest of the Band... I guess that I'll see you in a bit, ne? Ja." With that, He gave Ken another wink, flashed him a smile, and was off.
Then, Taichi Yagami just happened to come by... "Oh, hey Ken, what's up? I saw Yamato leave here.. what happened?"
"Uh... that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out myself."
"Sou ka? Well, then, I guess I know what happened. It happened to me just a couple of...two years ago, but thank God it didn't affect our friend ship."
"Well... what happened...?"
"I just have a question to ask of you... do you like him?"
This question obviously caught Ken off guard.. he just became speechless...
"I can see that you're blushing... so I take it as a yes."
"Uh... um.. I guess that you can maybe say that.. but please, don't let anyone know of this... please.. my mom would kill me..."
"Hush up, and don't worry. I'm not a talker. It'll just stay between the three of us."
Sakura- ooh... what does stay between Yamato, Taichi and ken chan?
Ken- o.O;; I don't know. Ask Taichi.
Taichi- It's a secret.. I can't tell anybody.
Sakura- Yamato sama, what about you...?
Yamato- I have to confess to saying... I'm NOT TELLING!
Sakura- That's why I like you... you rebellious guy...
All three guys- o.O;;
Sakura- Well.. like my fic so far...? Please, R&R, and I'll write more.. Ii desu nee!
R&R and you'll make me the happiest girl in the whole of L.A. (no, not Louisiana. L.A.)
