Hello all I am back with another update. I hope the people reading this are enjoying it so far.

As always I do not own Digimon.


Chapter 4: All is too Quiet

It had been a week since the meeting with the older Digidestined and the attack from SkullSatamon and there has been no sign of them since then. Izzy has also not heard back from Gennai. It was too the point even Yolei had tried to contact him also with the same result as Izzy. Izzy had informed them that Tentomon has not been able to locate the man. Needless to say the Digidestined were getting worried.

Yolei was packing boxes in her room to move to the apartment with Ken. Her sisters were down at the store and her brother was helping her put things his car since he drove a SUV and can fit more in it than the family car. While her sisters had shown their jealousy that she was going to be living with Ken, her parents were surprisingly supportive. Her father even offered Ken some money for the apartment but Ken told him it was already all set from his aunt.

"Hey Yolei I am not sure how much more we can fit in the car."

"Do you have room for one more box?"

"Yeah I think I can squeeze it in there. There isn't anything fragile in there I hope."

"No just some books."

"Sounds good. Need me to carry it?"

"If you don't mind. This way I can carry Poromon. He wants to see the apartment too."

"Not a problem sis."

Mantarou took the box from Yolei and then pretended to drop it faking it being too heavy. Yolei laughed and slapped his arm. She quickly grabbed Poromon and followed her brother down to the car. She watched him give the box a slight push and put the back down trying to to slam it too hard to shift anything. Yolei got in the passenger seat and put her seat belt on. Her brother did the same in the driver side. Yolei was happy her brother had offered to help her. She thought he was for sure going to lose his head when he found out she was moving in with her boyfriend but since he moved out on his own he has matured a little more than he was at home.

When they arrived at the apartment she noticed that Ken and his parents were here. They both grabbed boxes and got into the elevator to get to the floor they needed. When they walked into the apartment just Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji were in the living room.

"Hello there dear."

"Hello Mrs. Ichijouji. This is my brother Mantarou."

"Nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji."

"Pleasure. It sure was nice of you to help your sister."

"Yeah I try too. I know how hard it is to move into a new space."

Mr. Ichijouji walked over and took the box Yolei was carrying. He put it down and then Ken came from around the corner. "Hey Yolei, Mantarou."

"Good morning Ken." Ken then gave Yolei a quick kiss.

"I didn't hear you guys come in. I was in the kitchen. Can I help you guys with anything? All my boxes are in and unpacked."

"Geez what time did you get here?"

"About a hour or so ago. I didn't have much. Mom had some extra plates and silverware for us to use."

"That's great. Well if you are free I still have some more boxes to grab."

"Sure thing."

Ken helped Yolei and her brother bring the rest of the boxes up. When they got the last boxes Davis and Kari were walking up to them. Davis then grabbed the box Yolei was carrying.

"Here let me help."

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Well we wanted to see the apartment and Davis said he would help with anything the needed carrying but it looks like we are too late."

"That is okay. Come on up. My parents are getting ready to leave so we can arrange things how we want."

"And now the I have the last of the boxes out Mantarou can leave too."

"Cool we can help you guys out, right DemiVeemon?"

"You got it Davish."

When they all got back up to the apartment they said good-bye to Ken's parents and Yolei's brother. When Mantarou was walking out he whispered something to Ken who then blushed and turned and looked him. He then walked out with a quick good-bye to Yolei and the others.

"What did he say to you bro?"

"He told me that if anything happens to where Yolei can't finish school because of me then I would be a dead man."

"Ignore him Ken. I will hurt him before he hurts you."

"Haha dude I could see that."

"He is just looking out for her Davis. I can see where he is coming from."

"And besides if their parents didn't trust them they wouldn't be here right now Davis."

"Yeah that is true Kari. Well let's get this mess started."

Within two hours they got all of Yolei's things unpacked and the little that was left when Kari and Davis arrived. Ken let Yolei take the closet for her clothes and he used to dresser. Kari and Yolei were putting everything in the closet and Ken and Davis were in the living room putting books in the shelves.

"So does your brother think you and Ken are really going to..."

"Before you finish that Kari, Ken and I have talked about it and we both agree that if it does happen we will be careful but we aren't thinking about going that far yet in our relationship."

"Wow, I didn't think you guys would have talked about it with how shy Ken seems to be about it."

"Well since we are going to be living together we knew it would come up eventually."

"At least you guys talked about it. That is the important thing."

In the living room and Ken and Davis were having the same conversation.

"Have you guys really considered going that far?"

"We have talked about it Davis."

"Dude seriously?"

"Well we are living together now so it's something that needs to be considered in the future. But we did agree that if something does happen that we would take the right precautions."

"Well at least you guys are being smart about it."

"We are trying to be Davis. But we are thinking more of our education than anything else."

"I'm proud of you dude."

"You are? For what?"

"For being you I guess. Talking shit out and knowing that something might happen with you guys. Also that you guys talked about it and just didn't wait for it to happen and then talk about it the next day."

"You surprise me Davis. You actually just made sense."

"Yeah I am full of surprises. Damn how many books does Yolei have?"

"I don't have enough Davis. Keep it up or I will bring the rest of my books with me for you to put away."

"Shit I don't think so Yolei. You can put the rest of your damn books away."

"Davis language."

"Sorry Kari."

"Thank you. We got all the boxes out of the bedroom."

"Great we are just about done here too."

"How about we head back to Odaiba? Meet up with Cody and T.K. and get some ice cream?"

"Sounds great. How come they didn't come with you guys?"

"Cody was helping his grandfather and T.K's mom needed him to move to stuff from her office to the apartment for a story she is working on. They should be done by now."

As they were leaving the apartment and heading to catch the bus back to Odaiba Ken could sense that something was wrong. He stopped behind the others and looked around. Suddenly he got a sick feeling in his stomach. When Ken turned back to the others Yolei had stopped as well and was looking at him. Ken then ran towards Yolei.

"Look out!" By the time he got there and got Yolei to the ground the blast had just missed them.

"What was that?" Davis asked as he and Kari ran back to them.

"Yolei are you okay?"

"I think so Kari."

"Hm I thought I was being sneaky guess it wasn't good enough."

"LadyDevimon. I knew you guys have been quiet for too long," Ken said looking up to the Digimon.

"Well we need to plan these things. Don't worry the blast wouldn't have killed her. Daemon wants her alive."

Kari stood in front of Yolei and Ken. "Daemon can't have her. He has to go through me."

"And me!" Davis said grabbing Kari's hand.

"You foolish children. Daemon always gets what he wants. He has Gennai you know. It was simple to get the fool. Just start destroying the Digital World and he comes running. But he is nothing compared to the girl."

"Well Daemon isn't getting Yolei. He can try and he will fail," Ken said glaring at LadyDevimon.

"Oh you think so. We shall see about that. I am just the messenger. Daemon will love to hear this news. We will see how strong you are when he comes."

It was then that LadyDevimon disappeared. Ken was glaring at the spot she was standing on. He was going to make sure that no one too Yolei from him again. Ken was taken out of his thoughts when he heard Kari saying they needed to tell T.K and Cody what happened. All he could do was nod in response.

When they got to Odaiba they all went to T.K's apartment. Davis then proceeded to tell them what had happened on the way here. Cody looked nervous for his friend. Afraid she will be taken from them again by another evil Digimon. T.K just looked angry. He was determined the not lose his friend again.

"So what can we do to help? With you guys moving we won't be able to keep and eye on Yolei."

"Well I will be with her in the apartment so I am not worried about that but if we plan anything then we will need more help."

"Anything you guys need we will be there. Being summer it definitely helps keep us free."

"Thanks T.K I appreciate it."

"I don't want you guys wasting your summers to keep an eye on me. I do have Poromon to protect me too."

"We don't mind Yolei. We just don't want to see you taken again."

Yolei didn't respond to Cody. She was happy for her friends wanting to keep her safe but she was also upset. She felt like they were treating her like she is weak. That she can't protect herself if they time comes to it. She heard Cody say that he needed to go to meet his grandpa for Kendo. Davis said he would walk Kari home.

"Do you want me to come with you guys? Just in case something happens."

"No I think we will be okay today T.K. LadyDevimon sounded like today was just the warning that it will he happening. We will be too prepared today for anything to happen."

"Sounds like they want to keep us on out toes and keep looking over our shoulders."

"Sure does. We will keep in touch and let you know if we need anything."

"Yes please do. I will talk to you guys later."

"Bye T.K."

The train ride back to Okachimachi was a quiet one for Ken and Yolei. Yolei didn't know what to think. Here they are again, another threat to both worlds and after her. Everyone seems to think that she can't take care of herself. She knows they are just looking out for her but she has a Digimon too. She knows how to fight if she needed too.

When the reached the station they walked back to the apartment. Ken could tell something was wrong with Yolei. She was never this quiet. He would wait and talk to her back at the apartment. He didn't want to upset her more before getting home. They got back to the apartment and Ken unlocked the door. When they got inside Ken stopped Yolei before she could walk away.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. Why would there be anything wrong?"

"Because you are quiet. You are only this quiet when there is something wrong."

"I don't want to have the conversation right now."

"I think we should. I don't want you to be upset."

"It is a little late for that Ken."

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Well let's start off with the 24 hour watch party you want to have on me? I do have my own Digimon to protect me. I know how to defend myself if the need ever rises. I don't need to be babysat."

"It isn't like that and you know it."

"Oh no? Well it kind of feels like it is."

"I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!"

Yolei was shocked. Ken had never rose his voice ever. It was then that she saw the tears in his eyes. Yolei then walked up to him. She put her hand on his cheek. Ken looked at her and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her to him and her arms went around his neck. They just stood there holding each other. She could hear him whispering about not wanting to lose her. How he couldn't take it if she was taken again.

"I promise you I am not going anywhere. I know you are just trying to be the strong boyfriend but please don't treat me like a princess locked in a tower. I am not a damsel I am a fighter."

"I know. I just..."

Yolei silenced him with her finger. "I know. I am sorry I argued with you. I guess I am just tired of being treated like some kind of porcelain doll."

"I'm sorry too. I need to remember that you are a strong person. I will try and back off a little."

"That is all I ask."

Ken leaned down and kissed her. Yolei gladly returned the kiss. They didn't get into many arguments but when they did the made up quickly. When they broke apart Ken put his forehead on hers. He then suddenly let out a little laugh.

"Know what I just realized?"

"What's that?"

"This is our first night in the apartment and we have no food in the fridge." All Yolei could do was join him with her own laugh.


Well there is chapter four. I am really not sure if people are reading this but seeing how I finished one story I will see this through to then end too.
