Miyama: I don't own digimon, or maybe this story would be an actual episode… if I say any other things, like songs, or places, I don't own those either. Please R&R. thanks! *Smiles* you have the blessings of the Laughing Mountain Gods! Oh! They are older than in the show… I don't know exactly how old, late teens, early twenties I guess. Also, Ken never stopped being the digimon emperor. Thanks to DigimonEmpressDaisuke for the idea of kidnapping Miyako! For the romantic version of this fic, please read 'The light shall conquer the darkness' by the before mentioned author.
She smiled, and kissed him back.
"Daisuke, you spoil me." He grinned, and feed her another chocolate covered cherry.
"You're my princess. I have to." He kissed her again.
"You guys, gimme a break…" Jun said from the living room couch. Miyako chuckled.
"Sorry Jun. We'll go somewhere else." Daisuke replied.
"Thank you." She turned back to the television.
"I have to go home anyway." Miyako got up and started to the door. Daisuke wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Are you sure?" he moved her hair off her shoulder and kissed her neck.
"Yes, unfortunately. My mother needs me to mind the store for her." Miyako placed a hand on Daisuke's face and brought it to her own.
"Can't she get one of your brothers to do it?"
"No. They all have prior plans. And I already said I would." She chuckled, and kissed him again. She moved out of his grasp and walked to the door, grabbing her jacket and putting it on. He opened the door for her and hugged her again.
"I love you, you know." He kissed her.
"Daisuke, I have to go." She smiled, and kissed him back.
"Daisuke let the girl go home! It's not like you won't see her tomorrow!" Jun yelled from the couch. Daisuke shoot Jun a look of annoyance. Miyako laughed.
"She's right. I'll call you later. I love you." She kissed him again, and waved to Jun.
"'Bye Jun."
"'Bye Miyako." Jun waved without taking her eyes off the television. Daisuke shut the door.
~~~~~
Miyako skipped down the street, singing old love songs to herself. She glanced at her watch, and swore to herself.
"Oh crap, I'm late. Mom'll kill me." She hurried a bit, and turned down an alley that she usually used as a shortcut. She was almost to the end of the half lit side road when someone hit her on the back of the head with a heavy object. She stumbled, and fell to the ground. She turned slightly, and caught a glimpse of a smiling, blue-framed face before passing out.
~~~~~
When she awoke, Miyako found herself on a soft surface. She sat up, letting her legs dangle off the end of where she was sitting, and found herself chained to one of the posts of a four-poster canopy bed, for that was what she was on. She glanced around, and found herself in a dark room, the only light coming from a fireplace to the far right, never reaching the corners. The sheets on the bed were made of dark royal blue silk, as were the curtains that would hide the bed if closed. The walls of the room were made of large stones, and naked of embellishments.
"Do you like it?" a deep voice asked from nowhere. Miyako pulled her legs close to her.
"Who… who are you?" A figure slowly emerged from the shadows farthest from the fireplace. He had a smile on his face. Miyako gasped.
"You! What do you want?" He walked toward to her, and stopped halfway, grinning.
"My dear, I think that's obvious." He removed his sunglasses, and placed them on a table against the wall to his left. Miyako stared at him, her mouth dropping open slightly.
"You wouldn't…"
"Oh yes I would, and you know it." He grinned, took his cloak off and placed it on the table as well.
"I knew you would stoop low, Ken Ichijouji, but I never though you would do this." He turned to her and started laughing.
"Really now? What did you and you little friends think that I was capable of?" he walked over to the bed, and stopped in front of her.
"Well?" he placed his hands on his waist.
"You'll never get away with this…" Miyako replied. Ken started laughing.
"Such an over used cliché. I thought even you had a bit more sense than to say something so stupid." Miyako glared at him.
"You'll never get away with this." Ken mimicked. "And who is going to stop me? Go ahead and call for help." He chuckled. "Here, I'll do it for you. Help! Help! Someone come and rescue the defenseless little twit! Oh someone, help her!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Miyako blushed.
"I won't let you touch me." She threatened. He grinned, stepped forward and leaned over her, pinning her to the bed. He kissed her forehead.
"Actually, I think you'll quite enjoy it."
~~~~~
When Ken had finally let her go, he let her go where he had picked her up in the first place.
"I hope you had as much fun as I did." She wouldn't look at him. He chuckled.
"Well, my dear, I really have to go now. Will you be about to get home by yourself, or do you need help?" he held her shoulders from behind. She shrugged him off her.
"Don't touch me." She said in a half-strangled cry. He laughed.
"Yes, well, I see that you'll be fine." He ran his hand up her spine. She jumped, and turned to face him.
"You fucking bastard."
"Now, now, there's no reason to get mad." He said sarcastically. She punched him, and he shoved her to the ground. He knelt beside her, holding her down by her arm.
"Listen to me, you little slut, try as you might, from now and forever more, you will be nothing but my whore. That's right, my whore. I have one of the few things that you could give to your one and only, and it wasn't hard to take. Remember that." He moved the hair that had fallen across her face and kissed her forehead. He stood up.
"Until we meet again." He smiled at her, and walked down the alley, hands in pockets, as if it were a casual stroll. Miyako stayed slumped to the ground and cried until her face ached.
~~~~~
She took a deep breath, and tried to stop herself from vomiting, but it didn't work. The toilet didn't seem to mind though. Her co-workers, however, were worried.
"Miyako, maybe you have that flu that's going around." Miyako shook her head.
"No. It's not the flu."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"You should go home anyway."
"Yeah, okay." Miyako cleaned herself up, and checked out. Luckily her boss was very understanding, being one that was prone to getting sick herself.
"Sleep. It's the best medicine."
"I thought laughter was."
"That's what they tell you so they have a cover for laughing at the green colour people turn when they're sick." Miyako chuckled. As she walked home, she argued with herself in her head.
*I never get sick. So why should I now?*
*Maybe you're not sick*
*Then why would I feel this way?*
*You only feel this way in the mornings…*
*No way. No fucking way!*
*Count the days. You haven't had you period for months. Girl, you're pregnant.*
*So what if I'm pregnant.*
*It can't be Daisuke's*
*Sure it can!*
*It doesn't add up. The timing's off.*
*I'll go to the doctor and prove it's Daisuke's. It has to be his. Or I'd…*
*You'd what?* Miyako shuddered, and realized she was at her house. She sighed, entered the house, and picked up the phone. It rang three times.
"Hello?"
"Is Daisuke there please?"
"Just a moment." Miyako bit her fingertips as she waited for Daisuke to come to the phone.
"Ohayoo gozamasu, my princess!" she heard his cheery voice say to her. She smiled.
"Daisuke, I need you to come with me today."
"Where are you? At work?"
"No, at home."
"Why-"
"Just say that you'll come with me to the doctor's. Please."
"Alright, princess. When do you want to go?"
"As soon as you can get here."
"Is something wrong?"
"Maybe."
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Bye"
"Good bye." Miyako hung up the phone, placed her hands on her stomach, and bit her lower lip.
"Daisuke…"
~~~~~
"Princess, I'll be right back, okay? I'm just going to get some coffee." Daisuke said, rubbing her shoulder. She nodded. "Do you want any?"
"No thanks." She replied quietly. When Daisuke shut the door completely behind him, Miyako turned to the doctor.
"Doctor?"
"Yes?" he looked up from his charts.
"Um, can you, um, do a, do a…"
"Can I do a what?"
"Can you do a paternity test on my baby?" she looked down, and sniffed. Tears fell silently from her face, landed on her folded hands, and ran down to the floor. The doctor checked something else on his chart, and sighed.
"Yes. Yes I can. Do you have a DNA sample from your, um…"
"Boyfriend. Yes I do." She gave him an envelope with some hair in it. "You can use hair, right?" she looked at him, a sad asking look. He nodded.
"Yes, that will do. I take it you don't want him to know?" Miyako swallowed and shook her head. "Don't worry. I'll find out if the baby's his or not as soon as I can. The nurse is coming with the results for the pregnancy test. Although you already know the results for it." Miyako frowned. The doctor pulled a box of tissue out of a drawer and handed it to her. "Now wipe away your tears and try to smile. Everything's going to be alright." Miyako nodded, he patted her shoulder reassuringly, and left. A few moments later, when Miyako had washed her face and taken a few deep breathes, Daisuke walked in the room with a coffee and two danishes.
"I know you said you didn't want any coffee, but I thought that you might want something to eat." He gave her one of the frosted pastries. "A sweet for my Sweet." Miyako took the pastry, and couldn't help but smile.
"Daisuke, you are too good to me, and I love you so much for it." He smiled, and kissed her. After she had taken a few bites, the doctor came in with a chart.
"I have the results of the pregnancy test." Miyako looked at Daisuke, and he smiled, holding her hands firmly, a comforting presence. Miyako took a deep breath.
"Yes?"
"You are sixteen weeks pregnant my dear. That's four months." Miyako's face held little surprise, but Daisuke's mouth dropped open.
"So I'm a……… dad?" the doctor nodded. "I'm a dad? I'm a dad?" Daisuke started laughing. A quiet chuckled at first, but then a louder, full laughter that filled the room.
"Daisuke?" Miyako looked at him questionably.
"I'm a dad. I'm a dad!" Daisuke was grinning ear to ear. The doctor smiled.
"Would you like to see the baby?"
"See the baby?" Miyako replied.
"Yes. I'm going to do an ultra sound to see the baby, make sure that it's developing properly, and if you want, to find out whether it's a boy or a girl."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go and get the stuff so I can see my… our little baby." The doctor grinned at Miyako and Daisuke, and got his chart.
"I'll be right back with the necessary equipment." The doctor left the room, and Daisuke pulled Miyako to her feet.
"We're going to have a baby!" he was still grinning. Miyako smiled at him.
"I guess we are." Daisuke hugged her close, then let go a bit.
"Oops! Don't want to hurt my princess or my precious baby. I hope it's a girl, and she's as beautiful as her mother." Miyako blushed. "Then I'll have two princesses." The door opened, and nurse walked in.
"Inoue Miyako?" Miyako nodded.
"I have the results for your test." Miyako's face went pale.
"But the doctor already told us that we're pregnant." Daisuke replied. The nurse shook her head.
"I mean the paternity test."
"Paternity test? Miyako, why would they run a paternity test?" Miyako looked at Daisuke, and then at the nurse.
"Is it… is it Daisuke's?"
"Princess?" Daisuke said.
"If you mean the person that you gave the sample for then I'm afraid not." The nurse replied. Miyako looked at the floor.
"Miyako, what is going on?"
"I'm sorry. I'll leave you two alone." The nurse left.
"Miyako, who did you sleep with?" Daisuke asked very calmly. Too calmly. "Well?" Miyako didn't reply.
"How could you? I love you, and you go and cheat on me? Why? Don't you love me back? Am I not good enough for you? You're my princess, you mean the world to me, and you go and stab me in the back, no, in the heart? Why?" Daisuke was on the verge of tears. Miyako started crying.
"I didn't cheat on you Daisuke. I would never cheat on you."
"Then why the hell would you want a paternity test dammit?" Daisuke slammed his fist on the counter Miyako had been sitting on.
"Because… because…" she started, and then sobbed some more.
"Well?"
"I was raped, that's why!" Miyako yelled, covering her face. Daisuke stared at her.
"You were what?"
"I was raped."
"Who?" although Daisuke hadn't lost his anger, it was no longer directed at his beloved.
"Ken Ichijouji." She whispered, barely audible.
"Who?"
"Ken Ichijouji, alright. He ambushed me, took me to his fortress in the digital world, and then he… he…" Miyako burst into a new set of sobs. Daisuke clenched his fists, his breathing becoming more rapid.
"I'll kill him." Miyako looked up at Daisuke.
"What?"
"I'm going to kill that sick son of a bitch. I'll kill him."
"You can't kill him…"
"That bastard raped you! And he's going to pay for it. Where is he?"
"In the digital world I think. He never leaves his fortress anymore…" Daisuke grabbed Miyako's wrist and started out the door and out the hospital to his house. He opened his front door, and no one was home.
"Where are we going?"
"To the digital world."
"Why?"
"I told you, so I can make that fuck head pay for what he's done. And you're going to watch me kill him." He opened the digital barrier and they both landed in the digital world.
"What?!" he continued on his mad rampage to Ken's fortress, half dragging, half leading Miyako behind him.
"I want you to witness him in pain and suffering, even if it's nothing compared to what he put you through, and I want him to beg your forgiveness before I crush him like a bug."
Miyako's face held a look of surprise, and slight horror. They said nothing until Daisuke opened the door to Ken's fortress and started yelling at the top of his lungs.
"ICHIJOUJI! SHOW YOUR BASTARD FACE SO I CAN SMASH IT!" Daisuke let go of Miyako and stormed down a long corridor. Miyako followed, mostly to try and control Daisuke, but also for lack of any other choices, for the door had closed and locked behind them. They were trapped inside.
"Daisuke, Daisuke wait up!"
~~~~~
Ken watched as the two digidestined wove their way through his domain. He laughed to himself.
"I guess I have some visitors." He casually remarked.
"Master…" a boy about twelve replied. His name was Toji.
"Did I say you could speak?" Ken got up and backhanded Toji across the face. Toji fell to his knees; hand across the red mark Ken's hand had left behind, staring at the floor.
"No Master."
"Do not speak unless you are spoken to!"
"Yes Master."
"Now get up." Toji slowly started to get up, and Ken kicked him in the right leg, making him lose his balance and fall to the floor.
"I said get up!" Ken grabbed Toji's collar and pulled him off the floor. "Now, slave, go and lead the idiots here." Toji turned to go, and Ken shoved him towards the door, making him stumble and fall again. He quickly got to his feet and left the room. Ken sat down and watched the screens again.
"I'm surrounded by incompetence…" he said to himself as he massaged his brow.
~~~~~
"ICHIJOUJI! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU HIDING, YOU ASSHOLE?" Daisuke called, and turned a corner, nearly running into the boy who was waiting.
"Who are you?" Miyako asked when she appeared.
"My master wishes you to follow me to him." Toji replied, facing the floor as he was trained to do.
"Your master? You work for Ichijouji? Why?" Daisuke said in shock.
"I am bound to him by fate; my personal choices have no affect on what I do." Toji replied. He started down a hallway. "This way." He said without turning. They followed.
"Bound by fate?" Miyako questioned.
"Each digidestined is given a counterpart to do with as they wish. I am my Master's."
"Counterpart? You mean digimon. But you're not a digimon, you're a boy." Miyako said. They turned into a corridor to the left.
"My physical state now is not as it once was."
"What were you before?" Daisuke asked.
"I was what you would have called a Wormon, now my name is Toji."
"He changed you? Why?" Miyako asked.
"My Master said I could serve him better if I had human hands, so he devised a way to make me so."
"That bastard!" Daisuke replied.
"I am grateful to my Master for making it so I could serve him properly. I do not ever wish to anger him, only make him happy like he deserves." Daisuke grabbed Toji and swung him around.
"Your 'Master' deserves no more happiness than a dead dog!"
"You only misunderstand him. He deserves to be happy for all the suffering he has endured."
"So for his happiness, you'll help him with the pain of others?"
"He is my Master, I do as he bids. As long as he is please with the result, I have no reason to worry of others." Toji replied, and pulled out of Daisuke's grip.
"How can you live with yourself?" Daisuke said, shaking his head in anger.
"I live for my Master, and no one else."
"You realize that I've come here to kill him." Daisuke replied.
"Then I will die with him, for that is my fate." Toji turned and continued.
They followed in silence. Miyako was about to say something when they stopped in front of a large wooden door.
"My master awaits you in here." Toji said, and opened the door. He walked into the room, and over to a large chair turned away from him.
"Toji, crawl away on all four to your corner." Ken's voice said from the chair. Toji immediately dropped to his knees and crawled to the right corner of the room. Miyako watched the whole scene, mouth slightly open. Daisuke was about to walk over to the same chair, when Ken turned around.
"Welcome to my humble abode." He grinned, rose from his chair, and strode over to Daisuke and Miyako. His grin grew when he saw the look of fear on Miyako's face. "Well, hello my dear. Back for another round?" he reached out to touch her hair, but Daisuke shoved him away.
"Don't you ever touch her again, you fucking bastard." Daisuke said in a low, menacing voice. Ken laughed. "You are the lowest scum to walk the face of the earth, Ichijouji, and I will take revenge for my princess."
"Really now? I feel truly special Motomiya." He replied, "and you used your whole vocabulary to tell me t-" Ken never had a chance to finish what he was saying, for Daisuke had leapt on him that instant. The two were now on the ground in front of Miyako, much to her dismay. She moved out of the way when they rolled toward her, and ended up in the same corner as Toji. As she watched in horror, a loud high-pitched sound filled the room.
"I'll kill you, Ichijouji!" Daisuke said when he rolled on top of Ken, hands around the Kaiser's pale throat.
"Maybe in your dreams, Motomiya." Ken had one hand on Daisuke's throat, and punched him with the other. Daisuke leaned to the left from the blow, and Ken sat on top of him. Daisuke, with his hands still on Ken, quickly kneed him in the back. Ken fell forward over Daisuke and landed on his face. Daisuke immediately got up and kneeled over Ken, wrapping his arm around Ken's neck, pulling upwards.
"Beg forgiveness from Miyako." Ken laughed.
"Do it. Beg forgiveness before I kill you." Ken grabbed Daisuke's legs and stood up, knocking Daisuke completely over backwards. Ken turned and held Daisuke down by his legs, but when Daisuke pushed forward to get his legs down, Ken not only let go, but pushed Daisuke's legs to the ground, causing Daisuke's whole body to move forward. Quickly, he caught Daisuke from behind his back, pinned him there, took his whip from his side, and wrapped it around Daisuke's throat. Daisuke brought his hands to the leather strap that was choking the life out of him, and tried in vain to pull it away.
"Why don't you tell me what it feels like to have your life slowly taken from you." Ken lower his head so that he was level with Daisuke's ear. "To feel the burning ache as your cells begin to die from lack of the most vital thing they need, knowing that it's all around you and all you need to do is take a single breath, yet you can't?" he leaned in closer so that he was whispering. "To know that I have won, and that your princess is now mine forever, because you foolishly lead her into a trap, and sealed her fate? Well?" Daisuke's face was turning reddish purple, but he used precious breath to answer anyway.
"You're a sad sadistic bastard, Ichijouji, and one day you will learn the meaning of betrayal and revenge full force. Miyako will see to that." Ken sat up behind Daisuke and laughed.
"The only thing Miyako will see is your easy death." Ken tightened the whip, and grinned. "Say good bye to your knight, my dear." Ken said to Miyako, placed a hand on his captive's chin, and broke Daisuke's neck. It was then that Miyako realized that the loud high-pitched noise was her own voice.
~~~~~
Toji opened the dungeon door and balanced the tray on his arm while he closed the door behind him. Miyako sat staring at the floor, chained to the wall by her wrists and ankles, but with enough chain that she could lay reasonably comfortably on the floor against the wall.
"My Master wishes for you to eat something, my Lady." Miyako looked up at the green hair boy.
"Don't call me your Lady." Toji sat down in front of her and held the tray of fruit, bread and cheese on his lap.
"My Master has told me to call you that, and I do as my Master commands. I am sorry, my Lady, but I can't grant your request." Miyako stared at the floor again.
"I understand." She traced her finger on a crack in the floor.
"My Lady, please eat." Toji held out a piece of cheese, but Miyako didn't react. Toji frowned. "My Lady, if you don't eat, then the child will be malnourished."
"Why should I help the spawn of your 'master' live?"
"The child is not only my Master's, but yours as well. You are starving your own child, my Lady." Miyako took the piece of cheese and ate it silently. Toji sighed. "My Lady, please try to be happy." Miyako looked up.
"Try to be happy? Try to be happy? The child of the one who killed the love of my life is in me, I probably will never see any of my friends or family ever again, and I'm stuck living in a dungeon for the rest of my life! How can I be happy?" she looked at the floor. "I'm all alone." Miyako covered her face and began to weep. Toji put down the tray, and leaned forward to hug her.
"My Lady, for what it is worth, I am here for you." Miyako clung to Toji and cried until she fell asleep.
~~~~~
Ken rolled his eyes.
"And why, exactly, do you think that I should waste my time checking on a mere whore?" Toji looked at the floor, and tapped his fingers together nervously.
"Master, I think-"
"There's your problem." Ken interrupted, "You thought." He grinned.
"Master?"
"Continue." Ken leaned back in his chair.
"Master, I think that you should pay my Lady a visit so that she knows that she is worth more than a common prisoner."
"But she isn't worth more than a common prisoner. Because that is all she is. A common prisoner." Ken replied.
"Master, I… I…" Toji swallowed, "I don't think that is so." Toji stood a little taller, but still avoided Ken's gaze.
"Really now? And why not?" Ken chuckled.
"My Lady is carrying your heir, Master, and her happiness does affect the health of the child."
"And?" Ken asked.
"And?"
"And what is your point Toji?"
"Maybe a visit from you, Master, might lift her spirits?" Ken got up out of his chair and walked over to Toji. He placed his hand on Toji's chin and made Toji look at him. Toji tried desperately not to let his fear show on his face, for Ken had beaten him many times in the past when he didn't.
"Toji, your opinions and ideas mean nothing to me. They never have, and they never will. You are stupid, and why would someone as genius as myself stoop so low as to listen to someone of lesser intelligence?" Toji closed his eyes and flinched, waiting for his punishment for speaking his mind to start. Instead, he heard Ken laughing.
"Master?"
"However." Ken began, "I have been thinking of seeing the mother of my heir, and today does seem like a good time to do so. Go and tell her that I will see her in her 'chamber' in an hour." Toji opened his eyes, and stood there for a moment. Ken leaned down and kissed his cheek.
"Toji. Now." He whispered. Toji nodded and left the room. Ken chuckled, and sat down in his chair.
"That boy is getting a bit rebellious."

She smiled, and kissed him back.
"Daisuke, you spoil me." He grinned, and feed her another chocolate covered cherry.
"You're my princess. I have to." He kissed her again.
"You guys, gimme a break…" Jun said from the living room couch. Miyako chuckled.
"Sorry Jun. We'll go somewhere else." Daisuke replied.
"Thank you." She turned back to the television.
"I have to go home anyway." Miyako got up and started to the door. Daisuke wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Are you sure?" he moved her hair off her shoulder and kissed her neck.
"Yes, unfortunately. My mother needs me to mind the store for her." Miyako placed a hand on Daisuke's face and brought it to her own.
"Can't she get one of your brothers to do it?"
"No. They all have prior plans. And I already said I would." She chuckled, and kissed him again. She moved out of his grasp and walked to the door, grabbing her jacket and putting it on. He opened the door for her and hugged her again.
"I love you, you know." He kissed her.
"Daisuke, I have to go." She smiled, and kissed him back.
"Daisuke let the girl go home! It's not like you won't see her tomorrow!" Jun yelled from the couch. Daisuke shoot Jun a look of annoyance. Miyako laughed.
"She's right. I'll call you later. I love you." She kissed him again, and waved to Jun.
"'Bye Jun."
"'Bye Miyako." Jun waved without taking her eyes off the television. Daisuke shut the door.
~~~~~
Miyako skipped down the street, singing old love songs to herself. She glanced at her watch, and swore to herself.
"Oh crap, I'm late. Mom'll kill me." She hurried a bit, and turned down an alley that she usually used as a shortcut. She was almost to the end of the half lit side road when someone hit her on the back of the head with a heavy object. She stumbled, and fell to the ground. She turned slightly, and caught a glimpse of a smiling, blue-framed face before passing out.
~~~~~
When she awoke, Miyako found herself on a soft surface. She sat up, letting her legs dangle off the end of where she was sitting, and found herself chained to one of the posts of a four-poster canopy bed, for that was what she was on. She glanced around, and found herself in a dark room, the only light coming from a fireplace to the far right, never reaching the corners. The sheets on the bed were made of dark royal blue silk, as were the curtains that would hide the bed if closed. The walls of the room were made of large stones, and naked of embellishments.

"You! What do you want?" He walked toward to her, and stopped halfway, grinning.
"My dear, I think that's obvious." He removed his sunglasses, and placed them on a table against the wall to his left. Miyako stared at him, her mouth dropping open slightly.
"You wouldn't…"
"Oh yes I would, and you know it." He grinned, took his cloak off and placed it on the table as well.
"I knew you would stoop low, Ken Ichijouji, but I never though you would do this." He turned to her and started laughing.
"Really now? What did you and you little friends think that I was capable of?" he walked over to the bed, and stopped in front of her.
"Well?" he placed his hands on his waist.
"You'll never get away with this…" Miyako replied. Ken started laughing.
"Such an over used cliché. I thought even you had a bit more sense than to say something so stupid." Miyako glared at him.
"You'll never get away with this." Ken mimicked. "And who is going to stop me? Go ahead and call for help." He chuckled. "Here, I'll do it for you. Help! Help! Someone come and rescue the defenseless little twit! Oh someone, help her!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Miyako blushed.
"I won't let you touch me." She threatened. He grinned, stepped forward and leaned over her, pinning her to the bed. He kissed her forehead.
"Actually, I think you'll quite enjoy it."
~~~~~
When Ken had finally let her go, he let her go where he had picked her up in the first place.
"I hope you had as much fun as I did." She wouldn't look at him. He chuckled.
"Well, my dear, I really have to go now. Will you be about to get home by yourself, or do you need help?" he held her shoulders from behind. She shrugged him off her.
"Don't touch me." She said in a half-strangled cry. He laughed.
"Yes, well, I see that you'll be fine." He ran his hand up her spine. She jumped, and turned to face him.
"You fucking bastard."
"Now, now, there's no reason to get mad." He said sarcastically. She punched him, and he shoved her to the ground. He knelt beside her, holding her down by her arm.
"Listen to me, you little slut, try as you might, from now and forever more, you will be nothing but my whore. That's right, my whore. I have one of the few things that you could give to your one and only, and it wasn't hard to take. Remember that." He moved the hair that had fallen across her face and kissed her forehead. He stood up.
"Until we meet again." He smiled at her, and walked down the alley, hands in pockets, as if it were a casual stroll. Miyako stayed slumped to the ground and cried until her face ached.
~~~~~
She took a deep breath, and tried to stop herself from vomiting, but it didn't work. The toilet didn't seem to mind though. Her co-workers, however, were worried.
"Miyako, maybe you have that flu that's going around." Miyako shook her head.
"No. It's not the flu."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"You should go home anyway."
"Yeah, okay." Miyako cleaned herself up, and checked out. Luckily her boss was very understanding, being one that was prone to getting sick herself.
"Sleep. It's the best medicine."
"I thought laughter was."
"That's what they tell you so they have a cover for laughing at the green colour people turn when they're sick." Miyako chuckled. As she walked home, she argued with herself in her head.
*I never get sick. So why should I now?*
*Maybe you're not sick*
*Then why would I feel this way?*
*You only feel this way in the mornings…*
*No way. No fucking way!*
*Count the days. You haven't had you period for months. Girl, you're pregnant.*
*So what if I'm pregnant.*
*It can't be Daisuke's*
*Sure it can!*
*It doesn't add up. The timing's off.*
*I'll go to the doctor and prove it's Daisuke's. It has to be his. Or I'd…*
*You'd what?* Miyako shuddered, and realized she was at her house. She sighed, entered the house, and picked up the phone. It rang three times.
"Hello?"
"Is Daisuke there please?"
"Just a moment." Miyako bit her fingertips as she waited for Daisuke to come to the phone.
"Ohayoo gozamasu, my princess!" she heard his cheery voice say to her. She smiled.
"Daisuke, I need you to come with me today."
"Where are you? At work?"
"No, at home."
"Why-"
"Just say that you'll come with me to the doctor's. Please."
"Alright, princess. When do you want to go?"
"As soon as you can get here."
"Is something wrong?"
"Maybe."
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Bye"
"Good bye." Miyako hung up the phone, placed her hands on her stomach, and bit her lower lip.
"Daisuke…"
~~~~~
"Princess, I'll be right back, okay? I'm just going to get some coffee." Daisuke said, rubbing her shoulder. She nodded. "Do you want any?"
"No thanks." She replied quietly. When Daisuke shut the door completely behind him, Miyako turned to the doctor.
"Doctor?"
"Yes?" he looked up from his charts.
"Um, can you, um, do a, do a…"
"Can I do a what?"
"Can you do a paternity test on my baby?" she looked down, and sniffed. Tears fell silently from her face, landed on her folded hands, and ran down to the floor. The doctor checked something else on his chart, and sighed.
"Yes. Yes I can. Do you have a DNA sample from your, um…"
"Boyfriend. Yes I do." She gave him an envelope with some hair in it. "You can use hair, right?" she looked at him, a sad asking look. He nodded.
"Yes, that will do. I take it you don't want him to know?" Miyako swallowed and shook her head. "Don't worry. I'll find out if the baby's his or not as soon as I can. The nurse is coming with the results for the pregnancy test. Although you already know the results for it." Miyako frowned. The doctor pulled a box of tissue out of a drawer and handed it to her. "Now wipe away your tears and try to smile. Everything's going to be alright." Miyako nodded, he patted her shoulder reassuringly, and left. A few moments later, when Miyako had washed her face and taken a few deep breathes, Daisuke walked in the room with a coffee and two danishes.
"I know you said you didn't want any coffee, but I thought that you might want something to eat." He gave her one of the frosted pastries. "A sweet for my Sweet." Miyako took the pastry, and couldn't help but smile.
"Daisuke, you are too good to me, and I love you so much for it." He smiled, and kissed her. After she had taken a few bites, the doctor came in with a chart.
"I have the results of the pregnancy test." Miyako looked at Daisuke, and he smiled, holding her hands firmly, a comforting presence. Miyako took a deep breath.
"Yes?"
"You are sixteen weeks pregnant my dear. That's four months." Miyako's face held little surprise, but Daisuke's mouth dropped open.
"So I'm a……… dad?" the doctor nodded. "I'm a dad? I'm a dad?" Daisuke started laughing. A quiet chuckled at first, but then a louder, full laughter that filled the room.
"Daisuke?" Miyako looked at him questionably.
"I'm a dad. I'm a dad!" Daisuke was grinning ear to ear. The doctor smiled.
"Would you like to see the baby?"
"See the baby?" Miyako replied.
"Yes. I'm going to do an ultra sound to see the baby, make sure that it's developing properly, and if you want, to find out whether it's a boy or a girl."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go and get the stuff so I can see my… our little baby." The doctor grinned at Miyako and Daisuke, and got his chart.
"I'll be right back with the necessary equipment." The doctor left the room, and Daisuke pulled Miyako to her feet.
"We're going to have a baby!" he was still grinning. Miyako smiled at him.
"I guess we are." Daisuke hugged her close, then let go a bit.
"Oops! Don't want to hurt my princess or my precious baby. I hope it's a girl, and she's as beautiful as her mother." Miyako blushed. "Then I'll have two princesses." The door opened, and nurse walked in.
"Inoue Miyako?" Miyako nodded.
"I have the results for your test." Miyako's face went pale.
"But the doctor already told us that we're pregnant." Daisuke replied. The nurse shook her head.
"I mean the paternity test."
"Paternity test? Miyako, why would they run a paternity test?" Miyako looked at Daisuke, and then at the nurse.
"Is it… is it Daisuke's?"
"Princess?" Daisuke said.
"If you mean the person that you gave the sample for then I'm afraid not." The nurse replied. Miyako looked at the floor.
"Miyako, what is going on?"
"I'm sorry. I'll leave you two alone." The nurse left.
"Miyako, who did you sleep with?" Daisuke asked very calmly. Too calmly. "Well?" Miyako didn't reply.
"How could you? I love you, and you go and cheat on me? Why? Don't you love me back? Am I not good enough for you? You're my princess, you mean the world to me, and you go and stab me in the back, no, in the heart? Why?" Daisuke was on the verge of tears. Miyako started crying.
"I didn't cheat on you Daisuke. I would never cheat on you."
"Then why the hell would you want a paternity test dammit?" Daisuke slammed his fist on the counter Miyako had been sitting on.
"Because… because…" she started, and then sobbed some more.
"Well?"
"I was raped, that's why!" Miyako yelled, covering her face. Daisuke stared at her.
"You were what?"
"I was raped."
"Who?" although Daisuke hadn't lost his anger, it was no longer directed at his beloved.
"Ken Ichijouji." She whispered, barely audible.
"Who?"
"Ken Ichijouji, alright. He ambushed me, took me to his fortress in the digital world, and then he… he…" Miyako burst into a new set of sobs. Daisuke clenched his fists, his breathing becoming more rapid.
"I'll kill him." Miyako looked up at Daisuke.
"What?"
"I'm going to kill that sick son of a bitch. I'll kill him."
"You can't kill him…"
"That bastard raped you! And he's going to pay for it. Where is he?"
"In the digital world I think. He never leaves his fortress anymore…" Daisuke grabbed Miyako's wrist and started out the door and out the hospital to his house. He opened his front door, and no one was home.
"Where are we going?"
"To the digital world."
"Why?"
"I told you, so I can make that fuck head pay for what he's done. And you're going to watch me kill him." He opened the digital barrier and they both landed in the digital world.
"What?!" he continued on his mad rampage to Ken's fortress, half dragging, half leading Miyako behind him.
"I want you to witness him in pain and suffering, even if it's nothing compared to what he put you through, and I want him to beg your forgiveness before I crush him like a bug."
Miyako's face held a look of surprise, and slight horror. They said nothing until Daisuke opened the door to Ken's fortress and started yelling at the top of his lungs.
"ICHIJOUJI! SHOW YOUR BASTARD FACE SO I CAN SMASH IT!" Daisuke let go of Miyako and stormed down a long corridor. Miyako followed, mostly to try and control Daisuke, but also for lack of any other choices, for the door had closed and locked behind them. They were trapped inside.
"Daisuke, Daisuke wait up!"
~~~~~
Ken watched as the two digidestined wove their way through his domain. He laughed to himself.
"I guess I have some visitors." He casually remarked.
"Master…" a boy about twelve replied. His name was Toji.
"Did I say you could speak?" Ken got up and backhanded Toji across the face. Toji fell to his knees; hand across the red mark Ken's hand had left behind, staring at the floor.
"No Master."
"Do not speak unless you are spoken to!"
"Yes Master."
"Now get up." Toji slowly started to get up, and Ken kicked him in the right leg, making him lose his balance and fall to the floor.
"I said get up!" Ken grabbed Toji's collar and pulled him off the floor. "Now, slave, go and lead the idiots here." Toji turned to go, and Ken shoved him towards the door, making him stumble and fall again. He quickly got to his feet and left the room. Ken sat down and watched the screens again.
"I'm surrounded by incompetence…" he said to himself as he massaged his brow.
~~~~~
"ICHIJOUJI! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU HIDING, YOU ASSHOLE?" Daisuke called, and turned a corner, nearly running into the boy who was waiting.
"Who are you?" Miyako asked when she appeared.
"My master wishes you to follow me to him." Toji replied, facing the floor as he was trained to do.
"Your master? You work for Ichijouji? Why?" Daisuke said in shock.
"I am bound to him by fate; my personal choices have no affect on what I do." Toji replied. He started down a hallway. "This way." He said without turning. They followed.
"Bound by fate?" Miyako questioned.
"Each digidestined is given a counterpart to do with as they wish. I am my Master's."
"Counterpart? You mean digimon. But you're not a digimon, you're a boy." Miyako said. They turned into a corridor to the left.
"My physical state now is not as it once was."
"What were you before?" Daisuke asked.
"I was what you would have called a Wormon, now my name is Toji."
"He changed you? Why?" Miyako asked.
"My Master said I could serve him better if I had human hands, so he devised a way to make me so."
"That bastard!" Daisuke replied.
"I am grateful to my Master for making it so I could serve him properly. I do not ever wish to anger him, only make him happy like he deserves." Daisuke grabbed Toji and swung him around.
"Your 'Master' deserves no more happiness than a dead dog!"
"You only misunderstand him. He deserves to be happy for all the suffering he has endured."
"So for his happiness, you'll help him with the pain of others?"
"He is my Master, I do as he bids. As long as he is please with the result, I have no reason to worry of others." Toji replied, and pulled out of Daisuke's grip.
"How can you live with yourself?" Daisuke said, shaking his head in anger.
"I live for my Master, and no one else."
"You realize that I've come here to kill him." Daisuke replied.
"Then I will die with him, for that is my fate." Toji turned and continued.
They followed in silence. Miyako was about to say something when they stopped in front of a large wooden door.
"My master awaits you in here." Toji said, and opened the door. He walked into the room, and over to a large chair turned away from him.
"Toji, crawl away on all four to your corner." Ken's voice said from the chair. Toji immediately dropped to his knees and crawled to the right corner of the room. Miyako watched the whole scene, mouth slightly open. Daisuke was about to walk over to the same chair, when Ken turned around.
"Welcome to my humble abode." He grinned, rose from his chair, and strode over to Daisuke and Miyako. His grin grew when he saw the look of fear on Miyako's face. "Well, hello my dear. Back for another round?" he reached out to touch her hair, but Daisuke shoved him away.
"Don't you ever touch her again, you fucking bastard." Daisuke said in a low, menacing voice. Ken laughed. "You are the lowest scum to walk the face of the earth, Ichijouji, and I will take revenge for my princess."
"Really now? I feel truly special Motomiya." He replied, "and you used your whole vocabulary to tell me t-" Ken never had a chance to finish what he was saying, for Daisuke had leapt on him that instant. The two were now on the ground in front of Miyako, much to her dismay. She moved out of the way when they rolled toward her, and ended up in the same corner as Toji. As she watched in horror, a loud high-pitched sound filled the room.
"I'll kill you, Ichijouji!" Daisuke said when he rolled on top of Ken, hands around the Kaiser's pale throat.
"Maybe in your dreams, Motomiya." Ken had one hand on Daisuke's throat, and punched him with the other. Daisuke leaned to the left from the blow, and Ken sat on top of him. Daisuke, with his hands still on Ken, quickly kneed him in the back. Ken fell forward over Daisuke and landed on his face. Daisuke immediately got up and kneeled over Ken, wrapping his arm around Ken's neck, pulling upwards.
"Beg forgiveness from Miyako." Ken laughed.
"Do it. Beg forgiveness before I kill you." Ken grabbed Daisuke's legs and stood up, knocking Daisuke completely over backwards. Ken turned and held Daisuke down by his legs, but when Daisuke pushed forward to get his legs down, Ken not only let go, but pushed Daisuke's legs to the ground, causing Daisuke's whole body to move forward. Quickly, he caught Daisuke from behind his back, pinned him there, took his whip from his side, and wrapped it around Daisuke's throat. Daisuke brought his hands to the leather strap that was choking the life out of him, and tried in vain to pull it away.
"Why don't you tell me what it feels like to have your life slowly taken from you." Ken lower his head so that he was level with Daisuke's ear. "To feel the burning ache as your cells begin to die from lack of the most vital thing they need, knowing that it's all around you and all you need to do is take a single breath, yet you can't?" he leaned in closer so that he was whispering. "To know that I have won, and that your princess is now mine forever, because you foolishly lead her into a trap, and sealed her fate? Well?" Daisuke's face was turning reddish purple, but he used precious breath to answer anyway.
"You're a sad sadistic bastard, Ichijouji, and one day you will learn the meaning of betrayal and revenge full force. Miyako will see to that." Ken sat up behind Daisuke and laughed.
"The only thing Miyako will see is your easy death." Ken tightened the whip, and grinned. "Say good bye to your knight, my dear." Ken said to Miyako, placed a hand on his captive's chin, and broke Daisuke's neck. It was then that Miyako realized that the loud high-pitched noise was her own voice.
~~~~~
Toji opened the dungeon door and balanced the tray on his arm while he closed the door behind him. Miyako sat staring at the floor, chained to the wall by her wrists and ankles, but with enough chain that she could lay reasonably comfortably on the floor against the wall.
"My Master wishes for you to eat something, my Lady." Miyako looked up at the green hair boy.
"Don't call me your Lady." Toji sat down in front of her and held the tray of fruit, bread and cheese on his lap.
"My Master has told me to call you that, and I do as my Master commands. I am sorry, my Lady, but I can't grant your request." Miyako stared at the floor again.
"I understand." She traced her finger on a crack in the floor.
"My Lady, please eat." Toji held out a piece of cheese, but Miyako didn't react. Toji frowned. "My Lady, if you don't eat, then the child will be malnourished."
"Why should I help the spawn of your 'master' live?"
"The child is not only my Master's, but yours as well. You are starving your own child, my Lady." Miyako took the piece of cheese and ate it silently. Toji sighed. "My Lady, please try to be happy." Miyako looked up.
"Try to be happy? Try to be happy? The child of the one who killed the love of my life is in me, I probably will never see any of my friends or family ever again, and I'm stuck living in a dungeon for the rest of my life! How can I be happy?" she looked at the floor. "I'm all alone." Miyako covered her face and began to weep. Toji put down the tray, and leaned forward to hug her.
"My Lady, for what it is worth, I am here for you." Miyako clung to Toji and cried until she fell asleep.
~~~~~
Ken rolled his eyes.
"And why, exactly, do you think that I should waste my time checking on a mere whore?" Toji looked at the floor, and tapped his fingers together nervously.
"Master, I think-"
"There's your problem." Ken interrupted, "You thought." He grinned.
"Master?"
"Continue." Ken leaned back in his chair.
"Master, I think that you should pay my Lady a visit so that she knows that she is worth more than a common prisoner."
"But she isn't worth more than a common prisoner. Because that is all she is. A common prisoner." Ken replied.
"Master, I… I…" Toji swallowed, "I don't think that is so." Toji stood a little taller, but still avoided Ken's gaze.
"Really now? And why not?" Ken chuckled.
"My Lady is carrying your heir, Master, and her happiness does affect the health of the child."
"And?" Ken asked.
"And?"
"And what is your point Toji?"
"Maybe a visit from you, Master, might lift her spirits?" Ken got up out of his chair and walked over to Toji. He placed his hand on Toji's chin and made Toji look at him. Toji tried desperately not to let his fear show on his face, for Ken had beaten him many times in the past when he didn't.
"Toji, your opinions and ideas mean nothing to me. They never have, and they never will. You are stupid, and why would someone as genius as myself stoop so low as to listen to someone of lesser intelligence?" Toji closed his eyes and flinched, waiting for his punishment for speaking his mind to start. Instead, he heard Ken laughing.
"Master?"
"However." Ken began, "I have been thinking of seeing the mother of my heir, and today does seem like a good time to do so. Go and tell her that I will see her in her 'chamber' in an hour." Toji opened his eyes, and stood there for a moment. Ken leaned down and kissed his cheek.
"Toji. Now." He whispered. Toji nodded and left the room. Ken chuckled, and sat down in his chair.
"That boy is getting a bit rebellious."
