Digimon Fan Fic: Inside the Mind of an Emperor

By Ken Ichijouji

The story starts off with Ken Ichijouji, the former Digimon Emperor, walking to school. "Hey Ken!! Wait up!!," says a voice in the distance. "Huh? " Ken says as he turns around. Its Yolei Inoue, the girl who has had a crush on him for as long as he has known her.
"Hey Ken wait up!," she says pantingly. "I was trying to be early like you for once."
"Haha, that's great Yolei, maybe now you won't be late," he says laughing.
Yolei smiles and they both continue to walk together to school.

At school, they meet up with the rest of the gang: Davis, T.K., Kari, and Cody.
"WOW! Your actually on time for once!" says Davis fairly surprised.
"Ha ha, if I'm on time more, that means I have more time to pound you!" says Yolei with her fist to Davis' face.
"Hehe," Davis replys a bit afraid.
"Enough joking around everyone I gotta go to class. See you all later," says Ken with his usual intravert tone.
"What's up with Ken? He's always like that, bein' alone and stuff...." says T.K.
"Ken's just not use to being around other people, I mean after all he was the Digimon Emperor," says Kari watching Ken walk away from the group. "I know in his heart, he's just like us......"

At his desk Ken sits there like always looking down, not making contact with anyone. The kids in the class all swarm around like bees chatting and interacting with their friends. Just then Kari comes into the room. Ring Ring!! Its 8:00, time for class to start. Kari waits at the head of the room smiling just as sweet. The teacher, Mr. Nagisawa, begins to introduce Kari to the class.
"Good morning class. Because of the overcrowding in my 4th period class, I've decided to move Kari Kamiya to our class." " Uh, Kari I see there's a seat behind Ken Ichijouji, you can sit there."
"Yes Mr. Nagisawa," she says politely.
Kari takes her leave from the front of the class and walks down the middle row. Along the way all the guys whistle and make gestures at her, all except Ken who is still looking down. She ignores them and continues on until she comes to Ken. She stops and looks at him for a minute, then takes her seat. Ken notices her but still doesn't look up. After Kari takes her seat the class begins they're lesson on math equations, which Kari totally doesn't get. The teacher calls on Kari who is looks up with a blank and embarrassed look on her face.
"Kari what's the square root of 25?" Mr. Nagisawa asks pushing his glasses back up on his nose.
"Uh, uh....heh....(ahem)...its...."
Just then without anyone noticing, Kari sees a small piece of paper unfolded on her desk that reads 5.
"5?" Kari says nervously.
"That's right Kari very good." He says pleased.
"Who gave me this? Whoever it is I'd like to thank them." She ponders to herself looking around the room.
Everyone else still has their attention on Mr. Nagisawa. Kari continues to look around the room, but to no avail, she can't seem to find her savior.
