A/N: This is a REVISION of Kindness Never Dies. My first attempt was great and people love it, but some things needed to be changed and rewritten. I do plan to release a second chapter very soon. Kindness Never Dies
Yolie screamed in terror, "NO! WATCH OUT! KEEEENNNN!"
Davis watched in horror as on of his best friends, Ken was hit by Daemon's attack. It was only a graze, but enough to do tons of damage especially to human flesh.. The 32 year old detective had found traces of an evil digimon a few months before and found that they needed to scope it out quickly. It turned out to be Daemon and on this particular day they had decided to dispose of him once and for all. "How could this happen?" He thought. "He's got 3 kids to take care of, what's going to happen to us next? He can't die!" Before even thinking twice he ran up to his friend to check on him. Yolie, Ken's wife of now 10 years, was already there, sobbing. Their kids and their digimon were all at the school and so had no idea what was happening.
"Kkkeeennn, no, no no no no!" Yolie leaned over him sobbing. Davis got to her quickly and placed his hand on her back. Ken opened his eyes in pain, "Yolie...please...stay strong. I...I love you." He looked at Davis, "Davis, whatever happens, take care of her." He closed his eyes and became unconscious.
"Yolie...I..." Davis for the first time in forever was speechless as he leaned down and tried to comfort his friend, as she remained keeled over her husband.
From afar off the other digidestined were focused on the battle. They'd seen what happened and knew they had to keep fighting. Tim had been ready to attack Daemon with his Megaligo Ranger Power Sword, when the evil monster decided to focus his attack on an approaching Ken. Tim was completely stunned and could only stand there. "No! This can't be happening," he gasped as he saw what happened. He could only hear the continuing attacks of WarStrongomon, MagnaAngemon, Digmon, Aquilamon and Angewomon in the distance. The older digidestined hadn't shown up yet and there was already someone down. ExVeemon was confused as where to go next and Stingmon, still digivolved could only focus on Ken. "Ken!" Tim heard him yell out. "I'll stop him!" As Tim heard this he realized Ken would want everyone to do so. The former emperor was down, but not yet out. Stingmon still had one more job to do. "SPIIIKING! STRIIIIKE!"
Tim pushed with more force than he ever had to deliver his attack, he summoned some of the Brachio Dino-Power and began to deliver an immense energy orb, "ENERGY ORB! SUPER DINO POWER!"
Daemon seemed to be distracted enough that he didn't even notice the two attacks coming straight at him. The other digimon noticed and didn't even wait for their partners to signal for an attack, CELESTIAL ARROW! Blast Rings! VEE LASER! EXCALIBUR! GOLD RUSH! They all attacked with such force that it knocked Daemon back into the Dark Ocean portal he came from, but not before he uttered a warning "The barrier weak digidestined, I WILL be back!"
At this, the digimon all de-digivolved and Tim powered down. The remaining digidestined all rushed over to Ken as sirens of Police and Emergency vehicles all came forward. T.K. and his wife Kari walked over with complete shock and their legs felt as gelatine. Cody ran over with his briefcase which also had some emergency medical supplies, to try and check to see if Ken was still alive. Even though he was a lawyer, he was able to use the methods Joe had taught him. After looking him over, and minutes of silence and thought, Cody spoke, "he...he's still alive."
The group sighed, "Thank God," Tim said.
"But..." his words echoed with an all out sternness that only a lawyer could have, silencing the groups sighs, he continued holding back sobs, "I...I don't think that he has much longer. I...I'm sorry Yolie."
By this time the older digidestined and Tim's wife, had made their way to the scene and heard everything Cody had said. Sora and Mimi began crying, Izzy couldn't even begin to comprehend the situation as he tried to comfort Mimi. Matt couldn't even think of a song for the sad moment. Joe, who had just arrived with the paramedics, looked at him with shock as, the now doctor began checking Ken over to try and confirm. Jun, now Joe's wife, was completely silent as she felt complete remorse for her brother and Yolie. She thought about how Davis had just lost his wife a few months ago to a rare cancer that took her completely and now he was left with his son. Tai could hardly move as he watched his sister go over to try and comfort Yolie. The digimon were all in a group completely unsure of what to do.
Tim stood in a daze as his wife made her way towards him, "Timmy? Wha...what happened?" She asked with a crackle in her voice. Tim stood there for minutes more before he could finally speak. "Ken...he...Daemon attacked him. He...he might be...dead."
She gasped as she looked at their friend. She didn't know what to think. For the first time in what seemed like ages she felt like crying, but didn't know what she should do. Tim looked like he was ready to sob at any moment as well. Scratch that all the digidestined looked that way.
Finally after minutes and minutes of much more silence, Joe began wrapping up his gear as the paramedics began walking away shaking their heads. They had set up their equipment right there to try and do everything they could, before taking him on the ambulance to avoid anymore damage, but it was too much. Joe then spoke forcing his head upright, "More than 3rd degree burns...nervous system completely destroyed...He...he didn't make it."
That was it, Yolie officially lost it and began sobbing her head off. Kari couldn't control it either and streams of tears rolled down her face as she looked at T.K., he made his way over to her and began hugging his wife. Neither of them exchanged words.
Davis, tears rolling, saw Kari straying from Yolie made his way over to the older girl. "Miyako..." She looked up still sobbing, "Oh, Yolie, I'm sorry." He reached over and pulled her into his arms. She buried her head in his chest and began bawling and screaming as he did his best to comfort her. After all these years of knowing her, he never thought he'd be doing this as the salty water in his own eyes began gushing down his face.
Matt began trying to comfort his wife, Mimi as well as Tai and Sora.
Rosa had just arrived and made her way to Cody, now her husband, and both cried softly.
Izzy and Mina, the digidestined from India, whom had married a few years before, were both in tears.
Jun had made her way over to Joe for comfort, still not sure what to do.
Sarah, for the first time in a long time was now in tears as well as Tim and both were crying softly.
The paramedics came back and covered Ken up, put him in a temporary casket and closed it up as the digimon watched very upset. "Ken..." Wormon said softly.
Davis looked down at Wormon and scooped him up, "I'm sorry buddy." He looked to Yolie who had finally settled down, but cheeks still burning from the hot, salty tears, "Yolie, come on let's go." he said putting his arm around her. She didn't say a thing, but walked over to Davis's car anyways as he let her in. "I'll take you to my house, you can rest there and I will pick up the kids from school." She still didn't say anything and nodded.
(a week later)
(In a garden where Ken is about to be laid)
"We are here to acknowledge the life of Ken Ichijouji. Ken, former genius and soccer player, and detective, was an inspiration to us all. He had some struggles, which we all have and will still have, but he made his way back to make friends and be a protector. This man, helped to save two worlds and was part of a team known as the digidestined. He is now watching over us. May God have peace and mercy on his soul and let us one day be able to be with our dear friend in Heaven. We pray that this body won't be here forever and like Christ will be only buried for a time and his body and soul be risen up again in Heaven " With that the West Shinjuku Baptist Church pastor motioned for the casket to be put in the ground.
After it was buried, dirt was laid on top of it and then a tombstone that read:
Ken Ichijouji: August 4th 1989-2019
Beloved Christian husband, father, son, brother and friend.
Survived by wife: Yolie Ichijouji,
Sons: Sam Ichijouji and Mark Ichijouji
Daughter: Marie Ichijouji
Parents- Father: Kimura Ichijouji, Mother: Ai Ichijouji
Everyone was there. Digidestined, his parents, their families, former soccer players, coaches, teachers, and many others. But only the families and digidestined had a close bond to him.
His parents were still very upset and couldn't say or do anything and ended up leaving right after. Though Mrs. Ichijouji still could be heard saying, "My son! I've lost both of them now!"
The digidestined all payed their respects to Ken, T.K. and Kari took Davis' son and Yolie's kids and they all headed home afterwards except for Davis and Yolie.
"Ken, man...I wish we could've saved you bud. We'll see you, whenever we can." He then moved back to let Yolie speak if she wanted.
"Ken, I will miss you SO much! I LOVE YOU!" She then began crying.
"C'mon Yolie." Davis sighed comforting her, "let's get you home."
For the next two weeks, Yolie and her kids stayed at Davis's house, unable to endure being in an empty house without Ken. Over that time Davis would take her for a night out, just by themselves and even took her to her favorite restaurant, Moriatis. A rumor started between all the digidestined, that the two might have something going on between each other. Yolie finally began to go back to her old self, but had a new and nicer attitude towards Davis.
A/N: When I had the idea for this story I was stunned. I sobbed continuously as I wrote Ken dying, but I wanted to see if there could be a loving relationship between Daisuke and Miyako. For those wondering if this will be included as canon to Digimon: The College Years, Yes AND No. This will be an alternate universe to it since this story will include the Tamers. However, the main story arc I am working on is as follows: Digi-Bible Adventures, Digital and Dino-Thunder Power Rangers, Digimon the College Years/Power Rangers MEGALIGO (Two seperate series that will happen at the same time frame), and Following the Footsteps of Destiny (By: Broken Angel01)/Following the Crossroads of Destiny (My Side-fic and same time frame to FTFOD). I also have to make some revisions to a few other fics, those will come later on. So please enjoy :)
