Chapter 5

Chapter 6

Ken thought he entered the wrong room when he opened the door of Miyako¡¦s room.

Paper was flying in the air; books were on the ground instead of the shelf, and a sock was flying straight to him.

¡§Oh¡KMiyako, you¡¦re back!¡¨ Miyako¡¦s sister, Mikki¡¦s head appeared behind the hill of T-shirts, comics, and CDs.

¡§¡K¡K¡¨

¡§Well¡KI lose my favorite CD, I¡¦m searching for it!¡¨ Mikki explained with a smile. Miyako¡¦s face looks kind of¡Kfrightening. Even though I don¡¦t know what¡¦s wrong¡KMikki thought with a sweat drop. I better escape now!

So Mikki quickly jumped out of the mess she created, and rushed out of the room.

¡§Hawkmon.¡¨ Ken grabbed Hawkmon¡¦s neck¡Xwhich was trying sneak away-- ¡§You are not leaving¡Xwe will have to clean this,¡¨ Ken smiled evilly, ¡§together.¡¨

¡§This is taking forever!!!¡¨ Hawkmon shrieked after he has folded the tenth T-shirt, the twelfth pair of socks, and put the twentieth ¡§Nakayoushi¡¨ (It¡¦s a Japanese Comic Magazine) onto the shelf.

¡§Well, thanks to Mikki,¡¨ Ken said in his ordinary flat tone, which made Hawkmon started predicting Miyako¡¦s reaction with this mess in his head. Ken picked up a black binder in front of him, and some pictures fell out of it.

Ken leaned forward and got the pictures, his hand freeze when he saw the person on the first picture. It was himself wearing his school uniform.

¡§This is¡K¡¨ Ken quickly opened the binder, and the first thing he saw was another picture of him. Below the picture was his name in purple¡X¡§Ken Ichijouji¡¨.

Ken flip the page, and then he saw an article about him winning the 3-D chess game. Beside the article was another picture of him smiling. There was a star below the picture.

¡§KEN!!! Stop day dreaming!¡¨ Hawkmon shouted when he saw Ken reading the binder. ¡§We¡¦ve got a lot more to clean up!¡¨

And then Hawkmon saw what Ken was reading. Oops. Hawkmon¡¦s heart skipped a beat.

That was Miyako¡¦s¡K

¡§Well,¡¨ Hawkmon lifted the Binder from Ken¡¦s hand and hid it behind his back. ¡§Good kids don¡¦t read other people¡¦s secrets!¡¨

¡§It¡¦s not a secret anyways.¡¨ Ken mumbled. Cody¡¦s song got stuck in his head again.

¡§Oh, you know that already!¡¨ Hawkmon was surprised. Maybe this is a good time to reveal everything to Ken! I¡¦m sure Miyako will be happy if she know this!

So Mr. Hawkmon Cupid began his lecture. ¡§Miyako has collected every single article about YOU in this binder. This thin binder took Miyako at least four¡X¡§ty¡¨ sleepless nights, TEN glues, um¡Kand about two hundred white paper to finish.¡¨

¡§Miyako has her whole heart on you when she first saw you one TV, and I remember that the first soccer game she ever went in her life was Davis¡¦ and yours.¡¨ Hawkmon paused for a second to see Ken¡¦s reaction. He was pretty sure that Ken was touched by his moving speech.

¡§You know, Miyako had a lot of crushes before,¡¨ Hawkmon started throwing different posters at Ken, ¡§Like this one, and this one, and this one¡Kbut her biggest crush is on you! She is even planning to create a poster for you! So¡X¡§

Mr. Cupid stood up and pointed to Ken¡¦s nose in a stunning (@_@) pose. ¡§What do you think?¡¨

¡§I think¡K¡¨ Ken answered in Miyako¡¦s uncertain voice. ¡§I need to clean my glasses now¡K¡¨

Hawkmon watched Ken as his got the bottle of glasses cleaner under the pillow, he slowly switch the cap off, and then he took off the glasses and started to wipe it with a cloth.

--Did he hear what I was saying??? Hawkmon freeze for a long time.

--What does glasses have to do with the answer???

Big Sigh¡X

I guess my speech failed.

Where am I?

The sea was roaring before Ken¡¦s eyes. Black waves splashed the shore violently.

The waves split into black bubbles, fell into the sea, and then come back again for another crash.

Is this the¡Kblack sea¡K?

There is no answer, but the cries of the wind were louder.

Why¡Kam¡KI¡Khere?

You ruined the digital world. You¡¦re not good enough for Digi Destined.

Who are you, Ken cried.

¡K¡K

You should sacrifice. You have done so many awful destructions.

Sacrifice¡KKen shivered. Why are you telling me what do?

If you want to go back to normal, one of you have to sacrifice¡K That¡¦s the only solution, only one of you can live¡K

I don¡¦t know¡KKen fell onto the sand.

Follow me¡K

Where are you?

Go¡Kgo into the sea¡K

Ken started to walk, even though he didn¡¦t want to.

He walked farther and farther into the sea, until the water came to his waist. That¡¦s weird¡KI don¡¦t feel anything¡K

He looked down and saw Miyako¡¦s face. .

¡§As long as we work together¡K¡¨ It was like the reflection was talking to him. ¡§We¡¦ll discover a way.¡¨

Miyako? Ken called. And then he realized that it was only ¡§his¡¨ reflection. However, he started to remember everything that Miyako has done for him, her e-mail asking him to join the digi destined, her slap, (Rukio: @_@) and her smile¡K

¡§Ken!!!!¡¨ Hawkmon yelled. When he was in his sweetest dream ever, somebody fell over him, and that¡¦s Ken!!! ¡§Get up! You are so heavy!!¡¨ (Fortunately it¡¦s not the real Miyako)

¡§Hmm¡K¡¨ Ken slowly opened his eyes. ¡§Wha¡Kwhere¡¦s the sea?¡¨ He rubbed his eyes a little. ¡§Oh¡Kthat¡¦s just a dream!!¡¨

¡§I¡Kcan¡¦t breathe¡K¡¨

Ken finally realized that Hawkmon was under him. He quickly got up. ¡§Sorry¡K¡¨

¡§My candies are all gone¡K¡¨ Hawkmon sighed while rubbing his back. ¡§Anyway, I¡¦m used to it already. Miyako used to do this, too. Her highest record was five times a night.¡¨

¡§Really?¡¨ Ken sat down and put his arms around his knees. He could see the stars through the window.

It is good to know that somebody is watching over me. I won¡¦t be afraid anymore.
