( Okay, I got a very good response from you people, so first I want to say thank you! I guess a lot of Kensuke fans do review! Anyway, I must warn you again, this story has shounen ai in it, and probably will get dark and have a good amount angst in it. For all you people who tell me to scrap new stories because they want the old ones to get finished first, I'm sorry, but I will write the ones I want, and I will finish the old ones too. So, anyway, I hope you enjoy, and I will always ask you to feel free and review! And for you people who haven't read the first part, I hope you will, but the DD don't know who the Digimon Emperor is so that this story could work, okay? )
Shelter (Part 2)
" Hey, Cody, have you seen Daisuke? I heard from one of the teachers that he was supposed to be showing someone around, but that was before class even started today and I'm getting worried. ", TK implied as he walked up to the younger Digidestined at the end of lunch. " Where do you think he went? "
" Maybe he wasn't feeling good and had to go home. ", the brunette boy implied with a shrug. He then saw Yolei and Kari running to them, holding a squirming rolled up sweater Yolei had taken off in her arms. Their faces looked almost scared and they yanked the two boys from the lunchroom into a janitor's closet just down the hall. Cody shook his head to clear it from the shock of being dragged and whipped around, and then demanded, " What's going on? "
DemiVeemon popped out of the sweater looking worried. " Daisuke was kidnapped! When he ran off, he went to the science room and this teacher came in so he shoved me in a cabinet. I could hear them talking about Daisuke showing this one kid around the school, and a few minutes after the teacher left, Daisuke started yelling for me to help him…but I…couldn't get out! When I did…he was gone! "
" What! ", TK gasped, his blue eyes going wide in shock.
" He's right! When we went to talk to Mr. Fugiyama he said that he had offered to give Daisuke a pass back to class when he was done showing some brainier kid around, but neither of them ever came back. ", Yolei implied, pushing her glasses up her nose. " At first I thought he might be skipping for the first time or something, but it's been too long, and then I found DemiVeemon here. "
" Did you see who took him, DemiVeemon? ", Cody asked the small creature with a hopeful look in his face. After the way Daisuke had acted that morning everyone was worried about him, this had just escalated it. " Did you hear Daisuke say anything that can help us find him? We need to know anything you heard! "
" Um, I-uh…" the small creature racked his brains, trying to remember anything that the children could find useful. He'd been so afraid when he'd heard Daisuke screaming for him to help him, but when he'd tried he'd found that he was trapped. " I think he said something about having the same conversation before, and then I thought I heard him say the word 'Kaiser' but that can't be right. "
" What if it was though? I mean, we don't even know who the Digimon Emperor really is, so if he was someone in our school, or passed us by on the street, we wouldn't know it was him. What if he came here after Daisuke? ", TK remarked reasonably looking at each of his friends. " Maybe we should spilt up until we can find some help. Kari and I will go to the Digital world and bring DemiVeemon with us to look for Daisuke, and Yolei and Cody can stay here in the real world and get help from the older Digidestined. Is that okay with everyone? "
" But what about with the rest of school? ", Kari demanded eyeing him with a small smile. " We can't just skip school, our parents would find out. And if we all get grounded who'll be left to rescue Daisuke from the Kaiser? "
" I guess you're right, Kari. But as soon as that final bell rings we have to get out of here as fast as we can. ", TK laughed a little sheepishly, looking at each of his companions as they stepped out of the janitor's closet. " DemiVeemon, I'll take you to the computer room with Patamon and the others until school's out, all right? "
* * *
" Let me out of here! You can't do this to me, I don't care if you think you're the GOD of the Digiworld you can't keep me here! ", Daisuke yelled struggling against the chains on his wrists holding him onto the posts at the head of the Emperor's bed. He looked around the room, gritting his teeth and trying to yank his arms out of the bonds holding him back as he silently added. ' And in this outfit! '
As soon as the Kaiser had brought him to the Digital world, he'd rendered the brunette boy unconcious. The next thing the bearer of Courage knew was he was sitting up right, his back pressed against the metal posts at the head of a bed, and he wasn't wearing the outfit he was normally downloaded into. Someone had changed his cargo shorts, flaming leather jacket, and Tai's famous soccer goggles for a pair of tight black leather pants, and an open leather vest exposing his bare chest. He was furiously struggling against his confinement, trying to quiet the thoughts of just why Ken had placed him in here instead of in a dungeon cell.
' Man, this is not good. I hope DemiVeemon has gotten to the others and let them know what's happened to me. I hope they're not so mad at me for acting like such a jerk earlier that they won't come after me. Maybe I should have told them about the Emperor kissing me yesterday, than maybe this wouldn't have happened. ', he thought sadly, shaking his head and looking down at the mattress he was trapped on. ' But maybe Ken was just trying to play with my head. Yeah, that has to be it, he wouldn't seriously be interested in me that way. I mean, it's me we're talking about! '
" Ah, you're awake. How does it feel to be in my royal chambers, Daisuke? I don't even let Wormmon in here, so you have the honor of being my first personal guest, my sweet little Digidestined. ", a voice remarked coming in from his side. That's where the only door was, and Daisuke was surprised to see the Kaiser coming towards him, no longer wearing his visor, but still in his royal regalia. He grinned, sitting down next to his prisoner on the bed. " The pleasure's all yours, I'm sure. I'm sorry I had to bring you here so roughly, but you wouldn't have come willingly, and you and I both know that. I must say, you look delicious like that. "
" You're in big trouble now, Kenny-boy! Bringing me here was a big mistake; the others will come charging in the door any second to rescue me! ", the boy strapped o the bed declared, trying not to blush under the other boy's fierce, yet hungry, gaze. The Digidestined couldn't understand why the Kaiser was looking at him like that. " You won't get away with this! You can't keep me here. "
" I go to all the trouble of brining you here, and finding you a more-flattering outfit, and this is how you speak of my hospitality? ", the blue haired young man said softly, with almost fake authority in his voice. He leaned down closer to his captive, holding the boy's chin firmly in his hand. " I'll teach you some manners. "
Ken kissed him firmly, pressing his body to his. With one hand still holding his chin, he was free to let the other hand run through Daisuke's spiky hair, almost as if he could feel the locks through his gloved hand. The Guardian of Courage tried to pull away, but the Digimon Kaiser held him so tight, and he was chained in place, so any attempt to break the lock failed. His tongue passed through the other boy's lips, despite Daisuke's obvious defiance, and probed every inch of his mouth avoiding the brunette's tongue to do so. A smirk was on the Kaiser's face as he kissed the boy over and over, enjoying having him so close. He'd yearned for this moment, to have the chosen child in his arms, to kiss him and feel every inch of his athletically built body. When the young man let out a muffled cry he finally released him, licking his lips as he pulled his face away, now breathless.
" …Wh-hy? ", Daisuke wheezed, trying to catch his breath even as he asked the feeble question. The Emperor still held the back of his head, and after he took off his gloves, his fingers traced the Digidestined's lips. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he felt like the blue eyed gaze of Ken was piercing through him. The evil genius had kissed him the way he had imagined Kari would someday and even better at that! His fantasies had never been of another boy before though, so have the Kaiser acting as if he were his girlfriend was making him uncomfortable. And he didn't understand why Ken wanted him in the first place!
" I have watched the other Digidestined mock you. They claim you're their leader, yet they shun whatever you say, even if it might be foolish. I have watched you, Daisuke, and hungered for you. They prey on your every weakness, while all I want is to make them vanish. They say you're their friend, yet they tease you, ridiculing you as if you were nobody, someone that meant nothing. ", the blue haired young man whispered in his ear, brushing his lips against the other boy's skin. Daisuke gasped as he felt his tongue for s brief instant. " But I will never do that, not to you. You deserve so much more. That's why I offer you shelter. "
" Shelter? ", he repeated confused, trying to pull away from his lips.
" The shelter of my arms, Daisuke. Here, no one can hurt you. You will be mine, and I will keep you safe from anyone who challenges your safety with all of my servants, all of my power. I've seen what they have done to you, how can you still fight by their side? They don't even know the real you, the greatness I see inside. ", Ken rasped as his hand traced the muscles of Daisuke's chest and then his eyes met the brown gaze of the Digidestined he had chained to his bed. " Unlike them, I want you by my side. I chose you for your every quality, every feature. "
Daisuke was flattered. Here the Digimon Kaiser was, offering him protection from every pain he'd ever known, but the problem was, he couldn't really see it that way. The other Digidestined, they were only human, that's why they teased him, right? He teased them as well, maybe it was only right. Anyway, Ken was well…a guy, and Daisuke wasn't sure he could even consider being his. Besides, the Kaiser was evil, wasn't he? That's why he had kidnapped him instead of just talking to him, right? Or was there something Daisuke wasn't seeing clearly?
" But…you're evil…", he started, but couldn't finish for some reason. Ken's hand was stroking his cheek, and the way he was looking at him was silencing and yet gentle at the same time. But he had to speak, he knew he couldn't remain silent and just let the Kaiser take what he wanted, mainly him! " I mean, you're the evil Digimon Emperor, and I'm a Digidestined. Besides, I'm a boy, and you're a boy! "
" Titles and gender don't matter. ", the Digimon Kaiser remarked softly, leaning his face closer to Daisuke's. " The emotion is the same. "
Emotion? Daisuke had always thought the Emperor didn't have emotions, not love or kindness anyway. Not when he tortured innocent creatures for the fun or it, right? But Ken was talking to him now, acting like he was trying to win the brunette's affections for his own, not dominate him as if he were a servant. It was like he actually cared, but could it be true? Or was it all an act to get him to join the side of Darkness and leave his friends down one bearer of Courage? But Ken was a guy, that's what he kept telling himself. Daisuke knew he was supposed to have this hopeless crush on Kari and get into fights with TK over her well being. But Ken actually wanted him, wanted him to stay with him and live in the shelter of his castle where he would protect him. To actually be wanted, that was something new to him.
" But I… " Ken silenced him with a gentle kiss, the most gentle out of all that the brunette had received. It was another minute before the Kaiser released him, finally letting him completely go and stepping off the bed. After he put on his gloves, the blue haired young man traced his prisoner's chest grinning.
" I told you will be mine, but I will give you a choice. You can be my slave, a prisoner for all time, or you can stay with me willingly and love me as I love you. It's your choice, and when the time comes you will have to choose one or the other, you can't avoid it, but I hope for your own sake you'll make the right decision. ", he told his prey, leaning down over him, brushing his lips gently to his for a brief minute. Then he turned and began to leave the way he'd come in. " Either way, you will be mine, Daisuke Motomiya. Just think about what I have said. "
