Beautiful Deception part 5 by Ly the werewolf

A soft sigh escaped her lips as she sat on her bed. For the first time in days, Yolei Inoue went back to school, not feeling as bad as she did a few days ago. It was all thanks to her dearest friend, Hawkmon.....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" NO! YOLEI!!! DON'T DO IT!!!" A loud voice shouted from behind her. Before she could turn around to see who it was, a brown, feathered hand grabbed hers.
" H-Hawkmon...?" she whispered, obviously surprised.
" Yes, I'm Hawkmon now. I felt you were in danger, so I automatically Digivolved. Now," the rich brown, bird-like Digimon held up the razor blade that was knocked to the floor. " Can you please tell me what THIS is all about?!" Yolei felt tears spring to her eyes once again. She shut her eyes, trying desperatly to shut out the horrible thoughts that were running through her head.
" Oh Hawkmon!" Crying like there was no tomorrow, she flung herself into the open arms of her best friend and Digimon partner, Hawkmon. The bird Digimon wrapped his feathery arms around her, holding her close to his warm and fuzzy body.
" There, there, m'lady....Everything will be alright....." Hawkmon sighed as he held his best friend in her hour of need.

*~*~*~*~*~*

The Digimon in question, or, at least its In-Training form, Poromon, bounded up to her. " Hello, Yolei! How was school today?" Yolei smiled. She actually enjoyed the attention she was getting from everyone the past few days. After Poromon/Hawkmon had filled them all in on her suicide attempt, the rest of the Digidestined kept a close eye on her. She didn't like that. But, everyone was so nice to her; always willing to help her out. Although the wound that Ken made still hurt, she felt she could get over it. After a long while, of course.
" Oh, okay. Nothing really happened. Davis shot milk out of his nose when he saw TK and Kari flirting." Yolei allowed herself a small smile at her friend's antics. " Poor Davis, he just doesn't take a hint very well." Suddenly, a loud beeping began to emit from Yolei's schoolbag. " Hmm?" Reaching in, she pulled out her D-3 and D-Terminal.
Poromon leaned in for a closer look.
" What's going on, Yolei?" The older girl kept her eyes glued to the screen.
" I don't know, Poromon. Looks like e-mail from....Cody. Let's see what it says." Yolei pressed the buttons, bringing the message up to its full size. Her cinnamon eyes went wide at the message content.

Yolei
I need help! sos! come asap; only u. no one else.
Cody

Yolei locked eyes with her respective Digimon partner. " C'mon Poromon - to the school! We've got to save Cody!" Yolei quickly grabbed her things, stuffed Poromon very ungracefully into her bookbag, waved a quick good-bye to her family, and raced out the door.

Before she even knew it, Yolei Inoue arrived at the closed gates of Odaiba Highschool. Taking a head start, she hurled her bag over the hedge that lined the schoolyard. " Heads up, Poromon!"
" OW!" The muffled shout of her Digimon came directly after her warning. Yolei tried to surpress a giggle.
" Heh...Oops." Not taking a break, the skinny young teen lept through the sharp greenery. " To the computer room!"

Yolei glanced around, making absolute sure that no one was around to witness what was so normal to her.
" Coast is clear," she breathed. " You ready?" Poromon nodded defiantly.
" Anything to help Cody!" Turning to the computer screen, she boldly held her Digivice to the flickering screen.
" DIGIPORT, OPEN!!"

A janitor walked by, shuffling his feet as he continued his dull, monotonus job of cleaning the teenage-raved highschool building. His eyes wandered over to the computer room. Suddenly, a bright flash burst from the square window. He ran over, expecting something big, but, he found...nothing. The janitor scratched his head, grabbed his broom, and continued his job with a large sigh.

Adorned in her usual 'Digital Wear', Yolei slowly inspected her surroudings. She had used her D-3 to track Cody's signal, and, oddly enough, it ended up being in the most 'romantic' sector of the Digital World. At least, that's what Hawkmon said. " These are the Goddess Gardens," Hawkmon began. " Digimon often come here to court and fight for mates. In a human perspective, you could say this place is quite romantic." Yolei rolled her eyes.
" This place is very romantic, but we've got more important things to think about. Like finding Cody." Hawkmon was grateful she changed the subject; he didn't want her thinking about the lost relationship with Ken. Yolei cupped her gloved hands around her mouth, forming a funnel of sorts. " CODY!" she called. " CODY!ARMADILLOMON! WHERE ARE YOU?!" No answer.
" AHH!!"
" Hawkmon, be quiet! I'm trying to hear if Cody's responding or not!" Her large eyes glanced down at her side, where her Digimon, in whatever form, stood. He wasn't there.
" Hawkmon? Very funny, you little turd! Come out right now! I'm not in the mood!" When her Digimon didn't come as called, Yolei flipped out.
" HAWKMON?! HAWKMON!! WHERE ARE YOU?!? ANSWER ME!!!" A chilling, and all-too-familiar voice answered her question.
" Don't worry, he's safe." She didn't need to turn around to see who it was, but did nonetheless.
" The Digimon Emperor....." she seethed. " Or should I say, Ken. What did you do with Hawkmon?! And Cody?!" Her voice and attitude went on the defensive almost immediatly. The Emperor didn't move from his spot.
" Cody isn't here. And like I said, Hawkmon is safe. I was the one who sent you that e-mail. I knew you would come, especially for someone like Cody." Yolei's face scrunched up in an evil scowl.
" What do you want? Come for a little 'one-on-one' torture? Wanted to finish the job of breaking my heart?!" Yolei was beginning to yell; and she knew it. First, he broke her heart, then he had the audicity to call her here to 'talk'. Her ex stood silently before her, not moving, not showing any emotion. Deep inside her heart, Yolei couldn't help but think about the good times they shared before. ' God, he's hot...NO! Wait! What am I thinking?!' Yolie cringed, almost reacting somehow to Ken's silent pain.
" Yolei...I...I wanted to talk to you about somethin--" The young genius was cut short by a cruel and sharp slap to the face. Tears stung his eyes as his body and mind filled with different kinds of pain.
" No. I don't wanna hear anything more out of your...your poison mouth, Ken. You've done enough." Tears were brimming in Yolei's eyes as well; it hurt her to do that as much as it hurt the recipient. Ken was beginning to get desperate.
" Yolei, please! I'm begging you! Just hear me out! No have no right to judge what I'm going to say before I've even said it!" The young teen paused, and looked at the angry girl in front of him.
" You're right, I don't have the right to judge," she spoke. " But I have the right to assume, don't I?" Ken paused again, but for the most, ignored her comment.
" Look..." He took an unsteady breath. " The time that we were going out, and....all the time we spent together...."
" Your point...?" Yolei interrupted. Ken stumbled over his words.
" Anyway, um...What I'm trying to say is...." Regardless of what she would think, Ken strided up to her still form and took her gloved hands in his. " What I'm trying to say is that....you....you mean so much to me....I....I need you more than life itself...." The teenage emperor took another calming breath. It wasn't working too well, though. He glanced up at Yolei, and allowed himself a small, ironic smile as he watched her mouth hang open. He continued his heartfelt speech. " When I humiliated you in front of the Digidestined, I felt....empty. I felt guilt, and I wanted it to go away. I have never felt guilty about anything, not even enslaving Digimon. But, when I hurt you, I had this horrible feeling inside. I thought...I was going to die. But then....then I realized that having you close to me could make that horrible feeling go away." Even though she didn't know it, behind his shades, he was staring into the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen in both worlds. " I...I need you, Yolei. I need you more than life itself. Please...take me back....I....I.......I....I love you, Yolei...." Yolei, with a trembling hand, freed herself from his grip, and gently took off his shades, the only obstacle between her and his gorgeous, soul-filled eyes. She wasn't at all surprised to see shimmering tears brimming at them, and her own tears prompted them to fall.
" Ken...." Yolei sobbed. " I...I need you....so much....I....I love you too....." Braving the odds, and the fact that their love was eternal, their trembling lips met in a soft, sweet kiss. Reluctantly, Yolei broke the sweet embrace, savouring the taste and smell of Ken. " Ken....Hawkmon's safe....Right?" Ken nodded.
" Yeah...."
" And....he's not going anywhere....right?" He nodded again.
" Yeah...." A mischevious grin spread onto her face.
" Good...." In the heat of the moment, she pulled him into the most passion-filled kiss any human could ever experience.

Hawkmon smiled from his confines. This was going to be a good year for the Digidestined and the Digital World. Many new Digimon will be born happy. Why? The Goddess Gardens really seemed to be glowing today.
