Chapter 5
The next day after the soccer game was Saturday, thus, Izzy decided that it would be a perfect day for Ken and Miyako to go back to the mysterious cave.
¡§Digi port open! Let¡¦s GO!!!¡¨
This time, they were directly transported to the cave.
The cave was still the same like last time, dark and extremely quiet. But there was something in the air that made Ken shivered a little bit.
Ken turned back and saw Wormmon and Hawkmon were standing there like dolls. ¡§Let¡¦s go, guys!¡¨
¡§I¡KI can¡¦t move any further¡K¡¨ Wormmon spoke with a painful tone.
¡§It seems like that there is something blocking us¡K¡¨ Hawkmon added.
¡§But last time¡K¡¨ Miyako concerned. ¡§This is getting scary¡K¡¨
¡§We have no time to waste,¡¨ Ken commanded. ¡§You guys will stay here, Miyako and I will go inside the cave now.¡¨
Miyako and Ken walked quietly into the cave. It was so quiet that they could hear their heart pounding very hard. Thump, thump, thump. Thump, thump, thump.
They didn¡¦t know how long they have been walking, but finally, they came to a door. It was a door made out of glass, actually, a material that¡¦s a bit thicker than the glass.
Miyako took a deep breathe, and pushed the door open, and they entered a huge room.
It was a room made out of crystal, the floor, the ceiling, and the walls were all reflecting the invaders¡XKen and Miyako¡Xthe only living creature inside the room.
¡§Um¡K¡¨ Miyako questioned. ¡§What should we do now?¡¨
¡§Wait?¡¨ Ken suggested. He had no better idea, he just had a very, very bad feeling.
Miyako nodded. However, she felt colder and colder. Ken¡¦s uniform sure was thin, very thin. This proves my taste of fashion, Miyako mumbled in her head. A helmet, thick pants, thick gloves, she KNEW that she would enter this kind of situation someday.
¡§So¡Kyou come back¡K¡¨ A cold voice said.
¡§Hey, this is not the right way you treat guests! Ahhhh--chi!!! You should come out earlier!!!¡¨ Miyako complained.
Ken glanced at Miyako with a big sweat drop, and then he asked. ¡§Are you the one who switch our bodies?¡¨
¡§What do you want¡K?¡¨ even though he is asking a question, the voice is flat.
¡§Your brain is slow, too!¡¨ Miyako yelled. ¡§We want you to make every thing back to normal!!¡¨
¡§Normal¡KI can¡¦t.¡¨
¡§What do you mean you can¡¦t? Aren¡¦t you the one who switched our body?¡¨
¡§Noisy fools¡K¡¨ The voice paused, and then continued. ¡§Get out.¡¨
¡§It¡¦s not getting anywhere.¡¨ Ken bit his lower lip, this is worse than talking to a pig.
¡§Ahhhh--chi!!!¡¨ Ken¡¦s nose agreed.
¡§Germs, they are polluting my palace.¡¨ There was no emotion in the statement, though. ¡§Illusion¡Konly one is true¡K¡¨
¡§What¡¦s the solution!!¡¨ Miyako didn¡¦t like to play games, this is killing her brain cells¡Xmaybe Ken¡¦s brain cells, too.
¡§Miyako,¡¨ Ken stopped her.
¡§Reflecting¡Kshadow¡Kyou can never get back¡K¡¨
¡§Only¡Kone¡Kcan¡Klive¡KSacrifice¡K¡¨
¡§What do you mean? Only one can live?!¡¨ Ken felt that his heart was sinking. ¡§Sacrifice¡Ksacrifice¡Kyou choose the one who is going to live¡K¡¨
¡§I don¡¦t get it¡K¡¨ Miyako said. WHAT¡¦S THE SOLUTION!!! GOSH!!!
¡§¡Kchoose¡K¡¨
¡§Choose?¡¨ Ken inquired. ¡§What will happen? Who do you mean by sacrifice?¡¨
¡§¡Knormal¡Kand¡Kdeath¡K¡¨
That was the last word from the voice. Right after that, a bright light blocked Ken and Miyako¡¦s eyes¡K
¡§May be that¡¦s the solution.¡¨ After the half an hour discussion between the two-genius brains, Izzy stated.
¡§Ok¡Kwhat¡¦s your theory then?¡¨ Of course, Miyako, Wormmon and Hawkmon ere excluded from the intellectual discussion. She was playing 3-D chess on Izzy¡¦s computer.
¡§The solution¡Konly one of us can live. The living one will go back to normal.¡¨ Ken answered.
Miyako looked at Ken; her face. She never knew that her voice could be that cold. Almost freezing. ¡§How about the non-living one?¡¨
¡§Death¡K¡¨ Wormmon answered for Ken.
Miyako knew the answer before she asked it.
That¡¦s very funny. Miyako sighed. That stupid who-ever-it-is is not helpful at all. Ahhhh-Chi!!! Look! I even got a cold!
But¡Kdeath¡K
What if it¡¦s the only solution?
No way! I won¡¦t let that happen! We won¡¦t die, we¡¦ll live, and we¡¦ll go back to ourselves!
¡§Bye Ken.¡¨ It¡¦s time to go home and eat dinner.
¡§Wait,¡¨ Ken stopped Miyako. ¡§I have something to give you.¡¨ He took out the ¡¥The Distance Lovers under the Sakura tree¡¦ he recorded.
¡§Oh¡Kthat!¡¨ Miyako smiled. ¡§Thanks, I can¡¦t believe that you remember to do this for me!¡¨
¡§I always remember everything.¡¨ For some reason, Ken smiled with her. ¡§See you tomorrow!¡¨
¡§Ok¡KOh yeah! You know, don¡¦t worry about that sacrificing stuff!¡¨ Miyako turned back and added; she felt that she had to say it. ¡§Along as we work together, we¡¦ll discover a way.¡¨
Like the soccer game.
