Chapter 2

Davis sighed worriedly as he sat down in the waiting room at the hospital. He had Leafmon and Chibimon in his bag and was waiting for the doctor to take him to Ken's room.

After an hour of waiting, the doctor finally could be seen walking down the hallway, looking at the paper in his hand. "Davis Motomiya, correct?"

Davis looked at him and stood up. "Y-Yes.." he replied, nodding.

"Ken is going to be fine. You're lucky you got him here, he wasn't holding out for much longer," the doctor explained.

Davis sighed in relief and could feel Leafmon relax a bit as well. "Can I see him?" Davis asked. The doctor nodded and led him down to Ken's room.


Davis gasped when he saw Ken. The boy was covered in bandages and was really pale and bony. His hair was messy and unkempt, and his face and arms were badly bruised.

"What happened?..." Davis muttered. Leafmon jumped out of the bag and landed on the bed next to Ken, where his arm was connected to the drip.

"I'll explain all that I know," he said, his voice still a little shaky.

Davis sat down and listened to Leafmon's story.

"So he was beaten?" Davis asked. Leafmon looked down and nodded.

"Now he's an orphan…"

Davis was about to say something when they heard a groan. Davis looked to Ken opening his eyes slowly and weakly.

"Ken! You're awake!" Davis cried happily as he sprung to Ken's side. Ken looked at him weakly then blinked. He tried to speak, but only let out a weak grunt. Finding it too much effort to keep his eyes open, he closed them once again.

But once was enough to see how bad Ken was. His eyes were red-rimmed and seemed blank.

"He's really got it bad…" Davis muttered. Leafmon nodded.

"I'm going to stay here and look after him," Leafmon said.

Davis nodded. "I'll come back everyday to check on him," he said.
