Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, it's characters and so on. I do own this
story (although I'm not making any money off it, so you money grabbing
lawyers, don't sue me!)
(A/N: This story and well, all my stories are separate unless stated that they are a sequel. What I'm trying to say is, that this story is not connected to 'The End of the End' and so the events in that did/will not happen. Also, I like to use the American names, because I'm more comfortable with them.)
"Revenge"
"How long has she been unconscious?"
"I'm not sure." TK rubbed his arm subconsciously. He wasn't cold, he just felt useless.
Kari looked to Davis and asked the question again.
"I think about an hour. The doctor said she should be waking up soon, but if…" he trailed off, not wanting to tell Kari that the longer she is asleep, the worse it will be.
Kari shifted her weight and looked at the lavender-haired girl who had been resting in the stark-white hospital bed for sixty minutes, a large bandage on her temple, a few spots of crimson bleeding through.
Cody sighed and shook his head, "Why would he do this? Especially to the person he loves." Unconsciously, he balled his hands into fits.
Davis shook his head, "I know he didn't do it!"
Yolei stirred in her bed, blinking up at Kari, who had brushed a few stray strands away from her face. "Who did this?"
Yolei swallowed, her vision, blurry and she found it hard to stay awake. Before letting her heavy eyelids fall closed again, she uttered, "Ken…he…" the rest of the sentence was lost when she lost consciousness again.
"There!" Yelled Cody, "Does that prove to you Davis, that Ken did it?"
Davis folded his arms, "Yolei didn't say…"
"She didn't have to finish that sentence, it was plain to see, he tried to kill her!"
----**----
-Two hours and forty seven minutes earlier-
"I'm telling you Ken, something about her is not right." Yolei closed her eyes, frowning as she shook her head.
Ken sighed, he had been over this so many times with her, "Yolei you are just been paranoid, sure she is a bit…odd, but she is not dangerous."
"Don't be so sure, Ken-chan."
The corners of Ken's mouth lifted at the endearment, and he put his arm around her waist.
"This is kinda exciting, isn't it?"
Ken blinked at her, "What is?"
"This. Creeping around in the darkness of the school, sneaking around, the danger of it all."
Ken's grin widened and he chuckled at the girl, "Yeah, I guess so." His smile soon faded as a serious one took its place, "But what I want to know is why non of our gates would open, and why this is the only one that would."
Yolei shrugged, "Well, we'll find out soon enough when we get to the Digital world."
The frown on Ken's face deepened.
"What?" Yolei asked, sensing something was bothering him.
"Something about all this doesn't seem right. The anonymous e-mail at seven in the evening. The gates not working. It just makes me feel very uneasy."
Yolei shuddered, "Yeah, now that you mention it, it does feel kinda…wrong?"
They reached the computers room, and slid the door open, Ken stopped Yolei from going in, "Wait. Why would they leave the computer room classroom unlocked? This is expensive equipment, they aren't going to let anyone just walk in here."
"Good point."
"You wait here, while I check it out."
Yolei nodded, and let Ken inspect the room, the only computer that was on, the one that had the gate on it, shone in the room, casting an eerie shadow upon Ken's face. He stood in front of the gate, and before he could think, breathe or react, he was sucked in, and transported to the Digital World.
Ken spun around as he stood up, staring at the television that had dumped him there without his will. Then, fear hit him, "Yolei!" he breathed, pulling out his D-3, he pointed it in front of the screen and yelled, "Digi- port open!" Nothing happened. Ken's brows furrowed and he shook his D-3 a couple of times before showing to the screen again, repeating the command, this time more of a growl than a yell. But, again, nothing. He moaned, and sat down on the green earth, pulling out his D-terminal, he began typing a message to Yolei. Something was going on, and it wasn't good, Ken knew that much.
---*---
Yolei burst into the computer room, searching for Ken, looking at the port, she noted that it was closed, a groan escaped her, "Nice, Ken, leave me here alone."
"But you aren't alone."
Yolei stiffened and spun around, searching for the owner of the voice, but in the darkness of the room, there was non-visible.
There was a snicker from the person, and Yolei froze, she knew that voice, but she couldn't place it, and before she could form anymore thoughts, a hard blow struck her and her world melted away.
---*---
Ken sighed; his message would not go through to Yolei. Standing up, he pulled out his D-3 again to try one last time, and to his surprise, he was sucked though the computer, only to find Yolei lying on the floor, out cold, and a sickening amount of blood escaping her from a nasty gash on her head. Ken snatched a sharp breath and ran over to his love. "Who…?"
The thought was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Ken lifted his head in panic, if he was caught breaking into a school that wasn't his, in the computer room, no less, they would immediately think he was trying to steal the computers. But he could not leave Yolei alone, lying on the floor. No matter how much trouble he would be in. But then, something he heard one of the men say made his blood stop in his veins.
"Yeah, this way, in the computer room. That Ichijouji kid was with her."
His name was mentioned, but how did they know…? He looked up, and mentally slapped himself, "The security cameras!" A guard was appointed to sit watch for intruders in that specific room. After a few break-ins, the school had decided to put in security.
"You sure? That genius? But why would he be here, and why would he bring that girl with him?"
"I don't know, all I know is that little dirt-bag is gonna be sorry he broke in here and tried to kill that poor girl…"
Ken choked on a breath, "Kill? They think…? Why would…?" But before anymore questions could enter his head, a voice mentally screamed at him, "Get out now! If they think you tired to kill Yolei, they will arrest you, and the real criminal will get away with it." A fight started between the two voices, "But, I can't just leave her alone…"
"Help is on its way! GO!"
Ken leaned over Yolei and kissed her on the forehead. Jumping up, he ran to the computer, hopping to go through the gate, but it was off, and he had no time to boot it up. He looked at the window. Sliding one of the large panes open, he climbed out, onto the ledge just bellow. Looking back at his girlfriend lying on the floor, he whispered, "I love you, I'll be back, I swear it." Then turning his attention back to the narrow ledge and the lethal fall below.
The wind whipped at his hair, as he inched sideways along the building, and around a corner, where a relatively high wall was. Taking a deep breath in, he leaned back and then jumped forward, landing like a crouching cat on the cream wall. Glancing back at the wall, he jumped down off the wall, and hid in the bushes, knowing that an ambulance would soon arrive.
Back in the room, the two guards burst in, finding Yolei on the floor, checking her pulse. "Thank goodness, she's not dead as Rick thought she might be."
The other guard contemplated his partner, "What did he see exactly on the security camera?"
"He just said that it was very dark and then all of a sudden a bright flash erupted in the room, and then dark again. Then he made out a figure in the room, and then another. The one hit the first figure, this girl with something and then, there was another bright flash and he could make out the face of Ichijouji leaning over her."
"Well, he's gone now." The guard sighed, indicating to the open window.
Sirens were audible close by, "That will be the ambulance."
"And the police?"
"They will be here soon, do we tell them, it was Ken Ichijouji?"
"We'll tell them he's our main suspect in attempted murder."
---*----
Ken watched as they put his love into the back of the ambulance, a nauseating feeling of nostalgia washing over him. "You can't die on me Yolei, not like Osamu did, please."
----**----
-Present time-
Davis paced up and down Yolei's bed. "I refuse to think it was him Cody! Why are you so quick to judge him? I thought he was your friend and you trusted him."
Cody sighed, "I did! Until Yolei told us who it was…"
"For the last time Cody! She did not say it was Ken!"
"Well, then who was it Davis?" TK asked from the chair he was slouched in, "All the evidence points to him, and we all feared that he would go all evil Emperor on us again."
"I didn't. But then, I guess I'm just a better friend than you are TZ!"
Kari sighed, "Stop fighting. Can't you see our friend needs our help? And we don't know for sure that it was Ken. But TK has a point, why did he run? I just think we should go home, get some rest and discuss this in the morning."
The group did not argue, and went their own ways after saying good-bye to the sleeping Yolei.
After a few minutes, a figure dressed in dark gray, and a black beanie covering his indigo hair stepped out from the on suit bathroom. He had been hiding in the bath behind the shower curtain for what felt like hours, waiting for them to leave. His feelings had been hurt after hearing their argument, but the way Davis stood up for him, gave him a glimmer of hope.
He leaned over Yolei and brushed her lips. "I told you I would be back. Yolei, you have to hold on. I'm gonna find out who did this to you!"
A noise outside made him look up and he knew he had to go now. He slipped out the door and quickly made his way out of the hospital, ready to visit Davis.
~~~~****~~~~
Cody headed up to his apartment, weary of any noise that made contact with his ears. A cruel snicker caught his ears and he froze.
------~~~~-----
Ken: So, um what's going on here?
Wormmon: Yeah, who is the person who attacked Yolei?
Nic: I can't tell you that now can I?
Kaiser: *singing* I know who it is!
Nic: No you don't.
Kaiser: I don't?
Osamu: Not even I know who it is, although I have a suspicion.
Nic: *looking at Osamu* You know I'm not sure why you are my muse, but hey, the more the merrier.
Ken: I'm sorry, but why do you love to torture me?
Nic: 'Cause I love you Ken-chan!
Ken: So now I'm a murderer?
Nic: I never said that.
Wormmon: Okay, so who is it?
Nic: *singing* I'm not saying!
(A/N: Oh, yeah about the security thing, lame I know, but I had to have someone see all that went on in the room, or more correctly, who didn't see all that went on in the room.)
Ken: What is that supposed to mean?
Nic: Patience Ken-chan, patience.
