(Ken's P.o.v)

'Thoughts'

[Language change]

{Flashback}

{"I hate it when people cry so please dry your tears. Laugh and smile and don't worry about me at all I'm not worth it." He said shivering slightly. He was in clear pain and yet he was being strong not just for his brother but us all and he had no way to back down from it.

"I just want to sleep Nii, so can you let me sleep now?" Willis nodded as they both fell backwards so that Willis' head was on Takeru's chest and Takeru's arms were wrapped around Willis' upper body. Nadia and Rath smiled before covering them up and vanishing from site.}

"Gennai does that mean that all his life Takeru was facing the darkness alone?" I asked making everyone look at me slightly before turning to hear the answer.

"Yes, which is why he was so angry with you and with the dark forces, his split personality as you all called it when he was facing evil. Wasn't a split personality really, it was the darkness implanted in him by tiny little spores. Two to be exact, one in his brain the other in his heart." Gennai explained to us as he showed us a picture of them and suddenly everything went dark and something from long ago began playing.

{"Ryo I didn't know Takeru was a digi-destined." I told my neighbor and brother-like-figure Ryo Akimiya. We both looked to see Takeru traveling alone in the desert and he seemed to be really sick.

"Pata…Mon where are you." He rasped out as he fell to his knees coughing badly. He was sick just like long ago when we three used to go out and play. He had pneumonia and I was afraid.

"Patamon please come out." He called out weakly before he spotted us and tackled us to the ground taking a double hit. Ryo stood up to check on him but I pushed him down and was hit by something. I remember Wormmon telling me I was feverish and delusional for a week in the digital world when I was little. This was what happened that week. Takeru was there the whole time until I got better and then he and Ryo left. I forgot all about them. My best friends.}

"Ken wake up!" I heard Wormmon shout in fear. When I opened my eyes I saw the same facial expression as that time when I was sick. He was worried and really cared for my health and only mine. And I mistreated him after I lost my memories, after the dark ocean came after me.

"I'm so sorry Wormmon, so sorry for what I did to you." I told him as I held him close and listened to his heart beat with my own. He seemed to understand that I just wanted to hold him and would talk when I was ready and I was grateful for that.

"I remembered Wormmon I remember Ryo and Takeru in that desert. That week when I got the dark spore and that Takeru took the one meant for me and Ryo even though he didn't have to. And he was already sick and looking for Patamon. That he was once my best friend." I said quietly and looked up when I heard an even quieter chuckle coming from the door way.

"I thought you would never remember me Kenny-boy. Takeru always told me not to blame you and I couldn't help but forgive you. You were all possessed and he didn't want to blame anyone." Ryo said looking at Takeru who sat up and stared at us all smiling and then falling right back to sleep.

"As if reassuring his self that everything is fine right Ken? Yeah he is because he doesn't want anyone feeling hurt or in pain like he was. He saved so many from the darkness only to get sent further in. he tried to save you when you were the digimon emperor and when he failed he thought he didn't deserve your friendship. So when you gave it to him he was truly happy and decided that he would protect you all. Yet he failed again so he thought it best to disappear from your lives and let you live on with out pain." Ryo had a sad pained look on his face as he said this and it didn't help when Takeru shot up clutching his chest in fright.

"Everything's alright now it was just a dream." Tk said as he looked at Willis and nodded to his self. He was still pale but at least he looked calm and not afraid anymore. He looked up as if something told him to and then looked away shame written all over his face as he did so. Ryo stood up and brushed away Takeru's bangs and smiled kindly.

"Don't look away from me please. Work hard to get your Hope back and don't be ashamed you lost it alright because then who would I be if I was ashamed of you. You two are my younger brothers and it was wrong of me to leave you with Nancy and Sherry. I never should have left you in this world. Willis, Takeru I apologize for abandoning you all those years ago." Ryo said sadly and hugged the twins as he cried, 'I never once saw him cry. Not when he broke his leg, lost Veemon, and especially when that man shot him in the stomach.'

"Its okay Ryo didn't have a choice because a child can't take care of another child and just because we got separated didn't make us not brothers anymore we were always brothers. I am the angel of hope, innocence, life, harmony even though Willis didn't know that one and destiny, Willis the angel of miracles, faith, time even though he didn't know it either and luck, and you Ryo are the angel of justice, wisdom, joy, peace, and change I know you didn't that one." Takeru said as he leaned against Ryo and went back to sleep. Their life seemed so sad and it was getting sadder with everyday that passed.

"All those years alone in a world with stranger can change someone for the better or the worse and we three got the hard end of the deal. We all turned out right but it just causes pain our existence brings us pain and we returns it to others if we wish it so." I looked at Ryo as he said this and saw the tears that he had had stopped falling and he seemed to be in deep thought on something.

"Gennai what did Ryo mean that Takeru, he and Willis were brought to this dimension?" Izzy asked and Gennai pointed to me and then Kari and finally the three angels and their guardians.

"You that I pointed to know that there are other dimensions but they were taken to this dimension for a reason not known to any of us. Only Ryo was allowed back to their true home world and for that he was sent to help the tamers of that world while Takeru and Willis were sent here to help your team." I looked at him and remembered when Takeru and I had just become friends.

"Ken did you know that there are other dimensions out there besides ours?" I shook my head and saw a sad smile in his face as he drew a rainbow with the crayons in his backpack on his notebook.

"Each one has their own world and own life style like the digimon and the real world. There is another real world and digital world beside this one, and many other worlds beside those. Like the dream world and Dark Ocean, there is another world that none of the other digi-destined besides myself that has visited it. I don't know how to describe it but… I think it was a world for the angels. I only went there twice when I was five and then on the day we defeated MaloMyotismon."

"You mean that was where you disappeared to?" he nodded and smiles a carefree happy smile that seemed genuine to me. The other smiles looked strained and I felt happy that he could smile for real in front of me.

"So then what about that world of angels that Takeru told me he visited twice."

"That is where Nadia and Rath are from and we think that these three are as well for even though they belong in the world of the Tamers they still have no home. You see they stayed in that world until five years of age and Ryo six or seven and then somehow they were transported here. Memories of before this time in this world for them are gone so they only know their life as it began when they became destined."

"So they only remember age seven or five?" Izzy asked and received a nod from Ryo who seemed troubled for some reason.

"What's wrong Ryo?"

"Something's not right here… Takeru has been attacked since we arrived here but back then I don't remember what our life was like at all. Like someone took the memories of that time and sent us here, away from the life we were to have. And also Nadia, Rath and Sakuya my guardian didn't appear until we reached a certain age. For me it was ten, Willis it was eleven and Takeru when he was six."

"I remember when I went to that world that a woman told me that once our powers awoke some one would be assigned to guard us until the time was right to fulfill a prophecy." Takeru said drawing something on the floor that looked like the crest of hope but it was different somehow.

"What is that Takeru?"

"That woman should me how to draw this… to open a portal to a home once lost to the children of those who fell to protect the worlds. Wake up children of light and prepare to fight with those of fellow kin. Resurrect the chosen guardians of light!" he said and the sound of a door opening was heard before a light blinded us all. When the light faded Takeru, Willis and Ryo were crying as they stared at a man and woman kneeling before them.

"Welcome home our sons." They said rising up to meet Ryo, Takeru, and Willis gaze sorrow and regret in their eyes. Takeru looked at Ryo and Willis both of them staring at the ground their hands clenched into fists. He stepped back when they stepped forward to touch Ryo and Willis.

"Take-chan do you dislike us for leaving you?" the woman, his mother asked looking at Takeru with hurt. Her blond hair shining in the sun with crystal blue eyes, while their father had chestnut brown hair and hazel eyes. Both had wings pure white and protruding out from their backs.

"Don't call me that… only Nii can call me that…" he whispered making the mother cringe and look at their father helplessly.

"You shouldn't talk to your mother that way my son, she just wants her sons back understand Keru?"

"Don't call me that either! Only Ryo-Nii can call me that, my name is Takeru Takashi… got it memorized?" he said as he glared at the angels and then his face softened as he looked at Nadia and Rath before shaking his head slightly.

"Take-chan come on let's get out of here." Willis said taking Takeru's left hand and Rath putting his hand on Takeru's left shoulder.

"Don't worry it'll be alright with just us Keru." Ryo stated as he grabbed Takeru's right had and Nadia put her hand on Takeru's right shoulder.

"There is no need to place your self in a bad position little Ake. We three guardians and your two brothers will stand by you no matter what." Sakuya murmured patting his head and smiling kindly as the world of the Angels vanished and we were standing on the roof of their apartment.

"It'll be good to have Hopeless Darkness whole again Ryo, Sakuya. How about returning from your vacation, I mean the fans only saw you two when you traveled here."

"Sure looks like Violet and me Fighter get to go back to singing again." He said laughing slightly when he saw Takeru blush from a kiss that the two girl guardians gave him.
