Tome of Time and Night

Disclaimer: If I had the rights to either would I really write a fic with them, since I do not have the rights to either Digimon nor Nanoha do not sue.

Chapter 12

When the group met at where Daisuke waited for them, Hikari walked up looking confused.

"What's up Hikari?" Takeru asked wondering why she is confused.

"A red head called me master Hayate and then apologized when she looked at me. Why would someone call me that?" Hikari asked making Ken sputter. "Do you know why, Ichidouji?"

"Yeah, that was Signum, my friend Hayate's aunt. She lost a bet and has to call Hayate master for a while." Ken stated hoping to cover Signum's mistake.

"Why would she think that I was your friend Hayate?" Hikari asked starting to look pissed.

"You're a Yagami. My friend Hayate is a Yagami, you and her have the ability to walk quietly." Ken stated making Hikari blink stupidly and then she ran up to Ken in anger.

"Why didn't you say that before?!" Hikari asked gripping Ken.

"I thought that was obvious when I said that there are more and asked the others if you walked quietly." Ken said with a strained look on his face.

"Hikari, why are you attacking him?" Miyako asked, err… yelled trying to get Hikari's hands off Ken.

'Great another girl that likes me.' Ken thought as Miyako helps him.

"We have been looking for my cousin for years now and he knew of my cousin and never truly said anything but a vague mention of our family name." Hikari said crying.

"I'm sorry; Hayate thought she was an orphan. She has no knowledge of her family other that her aunt Signum." Ken stated trying to calm down Hikari with the truth.

"Is Signum part of the Yagami or not?" Hikari asked trying to stop her tears.

"Signum nor her lover or kid is a true Yagami." Ken stated since it was true that they weren't true Yagami's just added into the family.

"So that girl that was at the café was Yagami Hayate?" Mimi asked getting straight to the point.

"Yeah, she is my best friend. Now that I think about it, everyone at school thinks that I'm either gay or trying to create a harem." Ken states trying to change the mood.

"What?!" Daisuke asked trying to figure out why.

"Well, all my friends happen to be girls. Nanoha, Fate, Arisa, Suzuka, Hayate, Vita, Signum, and Shamal. Though Signum and Shamal are adults. Ironic that my first friends that happen to be guys are more chosen." Ken stated unknowingly making Miyako think that she has no chance or else getting very jealous over this fact.

"If they talked to Aunt Sachie…" Takeru started to say when Ken glared at him.

"I do happen to know how to make someone disappear without a single trace. But I do not want to make my Doctor sad." Ken said with a very creepy grin on his face.

"Do you like any of those girls?" Miyako asked making it go right back to Ken's friends.

'She does like me.' Ken thought as he tried to think of a way to get out of this. "Well, Nanoha and Fate are a no go since they are together though they try to deny it. Arisa is not my type. Suzuka is creepy at night, same with her older sister. Vita is very fun to pick on since she acts like a cat. And Hayate is my best friend, as well as my very first true friend."

"Wait, what about your sister?" Mimi asked confusing Ken.

"Sister, I don't have a sister." Ken said blinking wondering how she came up with the thought that he has a sister.

"The girl with the same hair color and eyes." Mimi stated summarizing Suzuka.

"That's Suzuka one of my friends. There is no way we are related." Ken stated darkly, though this was the first time anyone called them siblings.

"Okay. What about why people think this place is haunted?" Daisuke said wanting to get away from Ken's other friends since Ken is agitated over being called a sibling of one of his friends.

"It's not. People keep calling an artist that goes into there a ghost as well as other things." Ken said simply as he doesn't believe in ghosts.

"What do you believe in? Aliens?" Takeru asked sarcastically.

"Yes, aliens are real." Ken stated firmly surprising them.

"Really, why aliens and not ghosts? Do you think magic is faked?" Miyako asked wondering more about the cute guy.

"The universe is to big just for us and the Digimon to be the only ones alive. Magic is real. Digimon use it every day." Ken stated making the group want to stop with the questioning of him.

"So where are going to port in?" Mimi asked trying to get the picnic going. "The food is going to get cold if we don't start the picnic."

"Yes, I put my laptop in the forest since no one but the artist ever goes in. Some strange reason my laptop never needs charging." Ken said now noticing that strangeness.

They came to a clearing, the forest part of the park seems to be inviting. Ken sighed as the others seem now to want to go to the Digital World rather than ask him too many questions; he almost said that he thought Hayate was the cause of the ghost haunting this park. He was glad that he finally managed one spell but it doesn't go far or fast as Nanoha's Divine Shooter since that is the spell he can now cast.

"Um, it's hard to do this." They heard a girl say and then they notice that she started walking away.

"Few, she almost walked right here." Ken sighed out as he had his Digivice out, 'crap maybe the others are near here. No I don't feel their magic, good we can go.'

"Is something the matter?" Daisuke asked wondering why Ken stopped.

"No, sorry, we are going now." Ken said putting the device near the screen, the others were shocked that Ken didn't say Digital Gate Open like they did, because they were now in the Digital World. "Is something the matter?"

"Um, what are you wearing?" Mimi asked since he is wearing white.

"Huh?" Ken murmured and looked down. "Ack, I'm wearing my school uniform!"

"I think it makes you look cute." Miyako stated trying to gage Ken's reaction.

"I… I guess I was thinking about my friends and school that I… got my uniform." Ken stuttered sweatdropping from Miyako.

"How do you change your outfits?" Hikari asked thinking that something must be up with this strange boy.

"By thinking on which outfit I want. If I don't think I get a kimono." Ken stated looking around. "So, where are we going to have the picnic?"

"At the top of this hill, you got us quite close to where we were thinking of holding a picnic." Takeru stated looking around.

"Here come our partners." Daisuke said with joy. Sure all their Digimon ran, flew, and crawled to them.

"Do you need a ride or do you think you can walk?" Takeru asked thinking upon the odd threat that Ken gave.

"Walk, I have been riding the bus and haven't walked that much today." Ken stated since he doesn't want to be trapped as someone that always needs help, it still rang in his head what Millenniumon called him when they were fighting. Damsel in distress.

"Okay you should know your body." And with that they ate but Mimi continued to look around.

"Where is Palmon?" Mimi asked as she thought her partner and friend would be there to greet her. "Do you think she might have…?"

"Maybe we can take a look around after we finish. Can you guys tell me how you got the Digivices? Then I can tell you how I met Hayate." Ken said looking at the sky.

A little while later…

"I have to find Palmon." Mimi stated since something is telling her that Palmon is in danger.

"It might be best if we go in groups." Ken stated thinking that might be a wise course because one doesn't have her partner there.

"I go with Takeru." Hikari said suddenly.

"Okay." Takeru stated, 'I wanted to asked Ken why the threat.'

"I take Miyako." Mimi stated surprising both Ken and Miyako.

"I guess that leaves me and Daisuke." Ken stated wondering how his grouping idea went different than he thought.

"I want to do some girl talk as well as search for Palmon." Mimi stated when she noticed that Ken was surprised.

The groups looked for Palmon but none could find her, until they got a message from Miyako.

"We have to get to them." Ken stated when he read that there is a Dark Tower under them.

"Do you think that the girls can't do it by themselves?" Daisuke asked right out of the blue.

"No, I don't think that. I just don't want my friends to be in danger. Not after…" Ken stated remembering when those two cat girls made Vita and the other knights disappear, and then almost losing Hayate to the book's corrupted files.

"That's an odd reason." Daisuke said wondering what Ken left off, and why Ken was so focused on friends since Daisuke never had any until Hikari and that was after Daisuke stopped being afraid of her.

"It's not. Let's go at least we can support them." Ken said running towards the area that they had the picnic and falling.

"Shit what happened?" Daisuke asked using what his parents said around him.

"I just had a spasm. It means that I will have to rest." Ken stated moving to a sitting position.

"Do you want me to help the girls or wait here until you can walk?" Daisuke asked thinking of what Ken said.

"Last time I was left alone I tried something stupid." Ken said in a low voice.

"Okay decision made." Daisuke stated as he sat down. "So how did you become friends with the others?"

A little while later…

"Man, so your brother is like my parents save that your brother died thinking that you are a liar. Mine think that I am crazy and an idiot, at least my sister plays along but in private says that I'm not crazy or stupid. She thinks that I am rationalizing my kidnapping. That's what everyone that forgot about Digimon thinks happened. And the kids that was taken have totally different memories that could never have had happened." Daisuke said telling Ken about his family life.

"How old is your sister? I could get one of my friends to talk to her family to get her hired." Ken asked trying to help.

"She's in her second year of Jr. High." Daisuke stated, "How is that going to help?"

"From what I gather, if you two get out of that place and move to another town, the elder can get a part time job to take care of the younger." Ken stated when he started to have feeling in his legs again.

"Okay, I'll tell my sister and heck maybe I will be in the same uniform." Daisuke said giving a true smile, one that he has been hiding since the incident with Vamdemon.

Ding

"Huh?" both boys asked at the same time.

"Miyako and Mimi are fine and they found Palmon while getting rid of the Dark Tower. Where are you?" Takeru sent them.

"At least they are fine. My legs are feeling better. We could walk to where we were at when we split up." Ken stated getting up and stumbling.

"No, we go get help. You still need some rest." Daisuke stated thinking that Ken is a good friend.

"I hate being helpless. At first I knew that I needed the help but as I grew older I just hate the feeling that I am just a burden." Ken stated trying to walk still.

"Well, going beyond your limits is going to make you a burden longer." Daisuke snapped at Ken.

"Alright, you win." Ken said sitting back down, and messaged Takeru that he needed help and their approximant location.

A/n: Now this is nice. At least he is getting to know the group. Um before anyone flames me about Daisuke's family in the series Daisuke's parents asked Ken to help their simple minded son, Daiske is in the same class as Hikari and I saw that they were in class 2. the next to the smartest class of their age group. Ken seems to be having more problems walking does anyone have a guess why?
