Ken was walking home in the middle of the summer, his father and mother had decided that he could get a job if he wanted or he could just hang out with his friends all summer. He had been hanging out with Davis, Kari, and T.K. they had started a band together, known as DKTK the first initials of our names. Davis was his best friend, Kari was a good friend and T.K. was the funny one. He felt the need to hurt someone or himself he was feeling really weird lately his brothers' death had been hard and it was getting very close to that time of the year.

T.K. was at the hospital on this day, his and matt's mom had gotten hurt in an accident and the doctors said she might not make it, she had been hit and her spine damaged she had been in a coma since they got her to the hospital. He was sitting in the waiting room when a loud beeping sound came from her room and the doctors ran in. He wasn't allowed inside. For ten minutes he could hear them yelling about getting her heart back to normal then there was nothing. He burst into tears already knowing the fate of his mother. Where was he supposed to go now? He didn't think his dad would want him to live with them and he didn't want to be forced to move. He got up and ran to the closest phone where he called his brother.

"Hello Matt speaking." his brother's voice came and T.K. broke down crying again. "T.K.?"

"M...matt." he managed to get out.

"What's wrong?" Matt asked

"M...mom..." he said

"What about her?" Matt asked a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"She's dead." he said in a soft voice.

Matt dropped the phone and screamed for their dad. He told his dad what had happened and asked T.K. where he was and went to get him. On the way he called up Tai who told Kari they all were worried about T.K. by the end of it.

Ken had just gotten home when he got the call from Davis about T.K. and he just didn't want to be there. He told Dai to tell the others he was sorry but he couldn't get there at the time. He hung up and went into his room grabbing a knife he had hidden by the desk he closed and locked the door, sat down by the bed and pressed the blade to his skin the red liquid came out slowly and with every sting brought tears to his eyes, and made him feel more alive. Even having seen his friends every day he still didn't feel right he wanted to feel everything again he hadn't felt right for a long time.

Ken fell into unconsciousness at the edge of his bed and when his mom got home she found him and called for the ambulance. Ken was taken to the same hospital that T.K. had just left with Matt and the others where called to be told that Ken was in intensive care but not told why. The first one to arrive there was Davis and he had tears in his eyes when he saw the slits on Ken's wrists. How long had his best friend been doing this to himself? He hadn't even known and here he stood with tears in his eyes because he was afraid he would lose ken. He wouldn't be able to stand not seeing kens bright eyes, or his hair as it blew in the wind, the way he smiled. He wouldn't be the same if Ken wasn't there to hug him when he was upset to tell him he'd be okay. What the hell was he thinking? Did he have feelings for Ken? Did he love Ken his best friend Ken? Even after all of the stuff they had done together after all the bad things that happened between them at the beginning did he really love the boy that was laying in the bed inside of that room hanging on to life barely and trying to fight to come back to the world that would miss him did he die? The answer he found when he saw his friends coming towards him, T.K. with Kari who had her hand in his, Tai with his arm around Matt's shoulder Sora and Izzy where helping each other to feel better they were both missing their best friends. He knew then that he really did love Ken. His Ken.

"Hey Dai, how are you holding up?" asked Kari as she hugged him close, she could feel his tears falling on her shoulder and she knew he wasn't taking it very well. Really known of them were. Two bad things had happened in one day to the small family like group they had created. T.K. and Matt's mom dying and then Ken cutting his wrists.

"I just want him to be alright." Davis said staring back at the boy through the glass and made a fist with his hand.

Tai took Davis into his arms and let him cry until his tears were gone and he was shaking. Over the years Davis had become like a little brother to Tai and Ken was too. Davis had a bad temper sometimes but he always meant well and they all knew it. Even when T.K. and he used to fight he meant to for the best just trying to get T.K. to lighten up and open his eyes to the fact that the world wasn't perfect but they could change it.

Kari's pov.

Dai fell asleep in one of the chairs in the waiting room after my brother had let him cry out all his worries and shaking. My brother had then went to get us all drinks and food to eat because we hadn't eaten since before Ken had gone in to the hospital. Matt took off to find Tai when hadn't come back after a half an hour. I stayed with T.K. and Dai. Dai was having a fitfully sleep and crying silent tears. I ran my fingers through his hair trying to comfort him some what and maybe help in stopping his tears. I knew that Dai loved Ken it was written all over his face when we showed up. I doubt he knew until then though, he really wouldn't be the same if he lost ken. Ken was Dai's soul of darkness and Dai, Ken's of light. They fit together. Being the child of light I know that's true. Just as much as Sora knows who each of us will be with, but will not tell us I can't tell Dai this either. I called my mom after we got there and asked her to bring me my cd's and my player so I could listen to it, I have it but with Dai crying in his sleep I couldn't even think of listening to the music.

I wonder where my brother and Matt are they had been friends forever but who knows what else they were I certainly don't. I kissed Dai's head as he sleep finally with out tears coming for the pain inside his heart. I feel so much pain inside because I wish I could do something to help to bring Ken back safely to the world where we waited for him. I lay my head down so I leaned against T.K. who was softly sleeping it has been hours since we arrived here and there has been no change in Ken. My eyes drift closed softly, as my hand rested in Dai's hair.

In ken's dreams.

"Hello? Anyone?" he screamed

There was no answer; just eternal darkness no beautiful stars no and no white lights. The weird thing though was the feeling he got from the place like someone he knew was waiting for him, watching him like he wasn't meant to be there yet.

"Kenny?" the soft and low voice from his memories came.

"Sam?" he said into the cold darkness and strained his ears to listen for a reply, what he heard was the sound of footsteps as if some one was running towards him. The only person who had ever called him Kenny was his brother Sam before his death. The sound of footsteps stopped and the sound of breathing took it's place.

"Kenny." then the next thing he knew was that he felt arms bring him close into an embrace that didn't last long, he felt a light kiss on his cheek and heard his brothers voice say 'you have to go back soon.' but he didn't care he had his brother.

"Sam" he felt tears run down his cheeks. "Will he be able to see you again?"

"One day Kenny you'll be here with me."

I lay my head against my brother's shoulder and I could hear him softly singing to me, the song he had sung to me when I was little and sick.

"My brother sleep tight, don't be scared I'm right here..." he put his hand in mine and lay it on my heart."Always will I be by your side. Until you sleep I'll hold you close, I swear I won't leave you alone. Dream of summer, dream of fun, dream of your loving ones. Find your way back to us home to those who love you. Whisper the name of the one you love with all your heart. "His voice trailed off as I felt my eyes close and the soft whisper come out of my mouth... "Davis"

Sora's P.O.V.

Aww they look so cute. Kari and T.K. are meant to be I can see it being the child of love after all. I know who each of us is going to be with except me and Mimi I have know clue about us. I've been helping Izzy trying to make him feel better about not spending time with Joe because Joe's in medical school. He's been helping me to know Mimi and I will always be best friends no matter what.

Dai and Ken were always meant to be together so I really want him to come out of this alright. Ken could be a little brother to me and the others. Matt and Tai have always been close I can remember all the times that they would fight, then make up and be best friends all over again. They became what all of us wanted the closest thing to any kind of relationship shortly after that we all made our own bfs.

I want our lives to be good and I want us to have fun, I want Ken to be here with us we need him. He was so close to all of us that it would hurt us more to lose him then to lose ourselves in some ways. Ken is still so young god he's only 16. I know I'm not that much older then them but I still want to be able to help him to see his smile and his bright eyes. The way he would go off on his own every now then. He would get far away from us at times and we would feel like he was hiding something and now we know he was. He was hiding his pain and his cutting, and how his family was. They were always together him and Dai. Dai would sit and write music together and sing they started the band together. Kari became the singer, T.K. one of the guitarists along with Ken.
