Here's chapter three. What will happen?! Is the suspense eating away at your very soul?!! No? Oh...well read it anyhow!!
Izzybelle: Sorry, man!! This story has Davis bashing and I know you like Daikari! Don't hate me! I'll write ya a Daikari, how's that?
"You wha?!" Davis yelled as Kari informed him about Ken. "You actually got Ken to come?"
"Well...I think." Kari shrugged.
"Maybe he just likes Kari." T.K. suggested.
"Hey, watch it, T.O.!" Davis grumbled.
"I hope Wormmon comes!" said Upamon.
"Why?" Cody asked coldly.
Upamon shrunk back.
Yolei squeezed Poromon. "Ken's coming! Ken's coming!"
"Yolei, can you be excited somewhere else?" Poromon choked.
"Hi Gatomon!" said Demiveemon as he bounded over.
"Hi." She huffed. "Hey Patamon." She looked up at T.K.'s head where Patamon usually resided.
"Hi!" he waved, sliding and pushing T.K.'s hat down into his face.
Demiveemon's ears dropped. "Hm..."
"Gatomon, I brought you something." Said Wormmon as he crawled into the lab and handed her a leaf.
"What's thi-ohhh..." Gatomon's eye started to twitch as she inhaled the catnip leaf.
"Wormmon, where's Ken?" asked T.K.
"Oh, Ken sent me here instead. He said he couldn't make it today." Wormmon looked over at Kari who stood with an angry expression.
"Rrr...He...why that...that snakemon! I told him to be here! I-I thought I had gotten through to him. Come on, Wormmon!" she grabbed the green insect off the ground and left, leaving Gatomon squirming on the floor as she drooled over her leaf.
"Don't be so angry with him." Pleaded Wormmon to Kari.
"I told him to be there! Why does he have to be so stubborn?" Kari walked down the street quickly.
Wormmon sighed. "He just doesn't want to interact with the others."
"Well that's just too bad." She replied.
Ken was lying on his bed when Kari burst in the door. "Kari?" he said, sitting up.
"Ken!" she dropped her hands to her side. "What do I have to do to make you our friend?"
"I just...didn't feel well today." He said.
"Oh please!" she sat down on his computer chair, burying her head in her arms in frustration. "Ken Ichijouji, I just don't understand you! We try and we try but we can't get through to you!"
"Don't blame yourself." Ken said blankly. "It's my fault."
"Your fault?" Kari sighed. "What is it with you? Do you plan to sit in here for the rest of your life with no one but Wormmon?"
Ken was silent for a while. "I don't know."
"Just give me a straight answer!"
Ken shook his head. "I never asked for this whole digidestined thing! I just want to be left alone!"
"It's not as though Tai and the rest of us wanted it either! It's just something that happened and we need you!"
"Ken, listen to her." Wormmon begged. "I want to fight and I want to help, but I can't without you."
"Kari, Wormmon, don't you understand, I CAN'T! How could someone like me possibly be needed to save this world?" he stood up.
"What? How could you say that?" she began to anger. "You're a digidestined!"
"No...I might as well be digidoomed!"
Kari sighed. What was there to do? She could feel the desperation rise up inside of her. They needed him, but there was nothing she could do to help! She knew Tai could do it if he were here...No. No, she wouldn't let herself think that way. She had to be able to something on her own. This could be it, a woman's charm... Perhaps...perhaps there was one thing left she could try...
"Listen, Kari, I don't-" he was cut off as Kari grabbed him and kissed him harshly, causing him to stiffen in shock. Wormmon stood across the room, mouth gaping.
Kari pulled away, leaving the dumbfounded Ken to stare motionlessly. "Ken, we're meeting tomorrow at the lab again. You'll be there, won't you?" she smiled, wishing she could take a picture of his face. With a giggle, she left.
"Ken?" Wormmon asked as he made his way over.
"W-Wormmon?" he finally stuttered. "What...just happened here?"
"He better show this time!" Davis grumbled as he leaned against the lab wall. "I'm not waitin' around here, I want some action! Arukenimon's gonna destroy the whole dang digital world if we don't hurry up!"
"For all we know, she could be waiting for us." Cody said.
"In fact, she probably is." Yolei added.
"I'm hungry." Upamon said.
"Me too." Poromon and Demiveemon chided.
"You kids are always hungry." Said Gatomon as she rolled her eyes.
"So Kari, when is Ken coming?" asked Patamon.
"I don't know. I hope I convinced him yesterday..."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Davis immediately panicked.
"That I hope he shows." Kari shrugged.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" said Ken as he entered the room.
Kari gave a sigh of relief. "Hi."
"H-hello." He choked. "L-let's just go do it. We should have 'em beat and be home by lunch."
Kari and the others watched in shock as Ken was swallowed into the digital world. Was this confedince they had just heard? "You heard him!" said Davis, shaking away his confusion. "Let's get outta here!"
