AS: Look a new story!

Ken: You're just full of ideas aren't you?

Daisuke: And it's about me this time

Takeru: Why am I a jerk in this one.

AS: sorry came in a dream *looks at takeru* besides you are mr hope person in "Digimon Adventures 02: AMnesia and Hidden Secrets"

Daisuke: True! And that's a Kenkuru/Takeken pairing

Ken: And "The Voice of the Empress" is most likely a Kenryo pairing.

Daisuke: And "Saved By Love" & "Rise of the Demon Lords" is a Yamaken pairing.

Takeru: I hate the both of you.

Ken: *rolls eyes* enjoy the fic. Apollomon x Stingmon does not own digimon or characters. If she did things would be different.

AS: enjoy!

Chapter 1: Hurtful Words Lead to Pain

Daisuke listens boredly as his teacher talks about his grades. It's true that he had been distracted lately. He had been having a horrible recurring dream about his friends. There was one particular one where he was in this valley with a lot of Dark Towers. He was angry at his friends and they were angry in turn. He seemed to be away from the group and was watching them.

Daisuke remembered that his dream self was angry as Takeru talked shit about him. Telling his best friend that he had abandoned the Digital World and had joined sides with the enemy. The others had tried to convince Ken that he was worthless and not worth any of his time. They tried to convince him that he could not be saved or wants to for that matter and what he was doing was evil.

The worst part was that dream Ken refused to believe their lies. He was confused and asked why he left and why he was doing this. Takeru glared at Ken as he answered that Daisuke decided to alley himself with the enemy and was faking to be good this whole time. However, dream Ken was still not understanding what was going on and didn't totally believe that Daisuke was evil. He insisted that they should talk to Daisuke and get things straightened out, it can't be what they are telling him.

At this Takeru threatens Ken that "if you are not with us then you are with him." Ken stepped back frightened by this. His dream self then decided that he had heard enough and made himself known. Ken seemed relieved and confused when he saw his new outfit, while the rest of the team were glaring at him. Words were exchanged between him, Takeru, and Ken.

Takeru didn't seem to like that Ken was listening to Daisuke. Daisuke watched in horror as Takeru ordered his digimon to attack Ken and Wormmon. They scream and then Daisuke wakes up from the nightmare.

Daisuke always found himself crying when he had that nightmare. It was too real to be anything but that. He had a horrible feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Well, Mr. Motomiya, you seem to be improving nicely." Daisuke smiled.

"You can thank my best friend!" Daisuke said proudly. "He's a good teacher." The teacher smiles at him. Daisuke often bragged about his best friend and had once brought him to his class when he had to do a report on famous people. Of course Ken was there for a debate competition that was happening at the school.

"Yes. Mr. Ichijouji is a very bright young man." The teacher gave him the paper that he graded. It was a 'B-'. After he was given the paper he was dismissed.

Daisuke ran out of the classroom. He was late. He knew that. The others are usually annoyed when he is late, but it's not like it's his fault, most of the time. His teachers tend to keep him after class to talk about improvements in his grades. If it's not that then it's when he gets in trouble for kicking the ball in the hall or when he doesn't pay attention in class for history and english class. Usually he spends his time thinking about his best friend.

Ken should be in the Digital World right about now with the digimon. They had all agreed to go to the Digital World to play with the baby digimon in Yokomon Village. He smiles to himself as he thinks of the fun they are going to have.

"Argh! Where is he?" Huh? Who are they about? Daisuke frowned as Miyako began complaining about him. Daisuke brushed it off when she yells at him and says that he is an idiot and stupid. It did hurt but he never showed it of course. He flinched when the other started saying that he wasn't a good leader or just a waste of their time.

He clenched his fist when Takeru started saying that he should have been the leader. He had more experience then he did. Hikari agreed with him and mentioned that it annoyed her when he was constantly flirting with her and trying to pick a fight with Takeru. Daisuke narrowed his eyes at that. He may seem like that he has a crush on her, okay maybe he did at first, but not anymore. He was hiding who he really loved and cared about. Besides he only fought with Takeru because he thought his plans were better and openly angered him.

He closed his eyes as the they went on and on until the sound of the D-Terminal beeping was heard. He was glad his was on vibrate. He looked at the message and saw it was from Ken. Ken seemed to have emailed everyone and asked where they were. Daisuke listened as the others said they will go ahead and have Daisuke catch up. He sighed after they left. He type a message to Ken telling him that something came up at school, but would still like for him to come over for the sleepover. He thought for a moment before adding: Tell V-mon I'm sorry, but will see you guys tonight. Keep an eye on the others and don't tell them I emailed you. There is something I need to tell you. - Daisuke
