Author's Note: Thanks to all that reviewed the fic!! Here's part 2, for those who care! Please, review if you like it and want me to continue! Enjoy!

Anywayz, as we last left off, Yolei was in the car with her brother, who happened to have seen everything! ^_^ Every detail, and so, her brother being the nosy person he seems to be, asked Yolei What was going on?

Our Little Secret
Part 2

Yolei stuttered, "…w-w-what are you talking about?" She replied. "I have no single clue what to say to you, seeing as though I absolutely don't know what you're talking about!"

"A-"

"I DON'T!" She panicked. "…I mean…of course…I don't. Now, j-just keep driving." She sunk low in her seat. Very low.

"Alright, sis," He steered back onto the road, and onto the main highway. "…I don't know why you're making some kind of really big deal out of some kiss."

"What?" Yolei asked, angrily. "I told you I don't know what you're talking about! I didn't kiss him, I just gave him a hug." …Yeah, that's it…I think so anyway.

"A hug very close to his lips it seems," He teased. "You could always tell me, I'm your brother."

"I have nothing to tell you." Yolei said. "And next time, tell mom I can walk from Odaiba to Tamachi."

"…right." He laughed. "You get tired when you watch TV for hours."

"It only happened once." Yolei muttered. "…can we talk about something else, please?"

"Tell me."

"…how about…your private life?" Yolei asked.

"No go," He replied. "Hey, that guy that you "hugged", right? Wasn't he the same guy you keep talking about named-"

"No," Yolei replied, quickly and nervously. "…no, he is not."

"Whatever." He scoffed.

"I'll pay you to shut up for the rest of the ride home."

"How much?"

"…$30."

"Where are you gonna get $30 from as soon as we get home?" He asked.

"…well, it's a difficult task, but--"

"I don't want to hear it." He interrupted. "…I'll give you till tomorrow, but you better have it by then."

"Fine," She muttered. …Oh my god!!! He actually kissed me…or I kissed him back…or whatever. But still, I feel wonderful! I have to tell someone, I have to, I have to!

***

"I can't tell anyone about this." Ken shook his head, staring out his window that night. "…not even Wormmon….well, it's not like he'd care, but, you know."

"…Ken who are you talking to?" Wormmon asked, crawling up behind him.

"…the window."

"You talk to windows." He replied. "That's…nice."

Ken glanced at him, "…are you one of those immature people who can't face the fact that people like me talk to strange objects like windows?"

"I can handle that." Wormmon muttered. "Just as long as I don't get replaced by a thin piece of glass."

"You'll never get replaced, Wormmon," Ken smiled, walking up to his bed and falling back.

"…are you okay, Ken? You seem dazed." Wormmon pondered.

"I'm fine, thanks." Ken smiled. "It's just that…the best thing that could've ever happened to me…happened to me."

"Oh, I'm glad you finally got enough courage to laugh, Ken." Worrmon replied.

"…not that." Ken said. "…It's…never mind, I'll tell you later. Good night."

******

The next day at school, Yolei walked through the halls, happily, looking for and trying to avoid Ken at the same time. She got to her locker, pulled it open, dumped her stuff inside, closed it shut and smiled. "…I feel so happy…"

"Why what happened?"

Yolei turned around and there was Kari smiling beside her, "Hey Yolei. I tried to call you last night, and you weren't home."

"…oh…I went…for a walk." She lied.

"A walk where? And why at 8 o'clock?" Kari asked.

"…because it's dark. And weird things happen in daylight." Yolei replied.

"…isn't it weird things that happen in the night?" Kari asked. "Are you okay?"

"Never felt better," She chuckled, nervously. "…Kari, the funniest thing happened to me…okay…I was over at Ken's for dinner he told me If I shut up for the rest of the evening he'd kiss me and so later on he kissed me although it felt like he wanted to and not just because he wanted me to shut up, isn't that weird?!"

"…wha?"

"…never mind." Yolei sighed.

"…all I heard was something about a kiss-"

"Not important, and not important at all." She interrupted. "…where are the others?"

"They're around." Kari said. "I was just gonna go look for TK, do you wanna come?"

"…not really." Yolei replied. "Sorry…I'll see you later though."

"Right, bye." Kari smiled, and walked off.

Yolei quickly scanned the area to see if Ken was in sight anywhere. She spotted him at the other hall, staring down at the ground as usual. "…perfect opportunity!" She ran up to him. "Hey Ken!"

Ken looked up and smiled, "Hey Yolei."

She suddenly grasped on to him, smiling. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you sooooo much!!!"

"…uh…Yolei-"

"Oooh, you're hugging each other." Davis walked by with a sly grin on his face. "…hey guys…what's…going on, exactly?"

"Nothing." They both replied. Yolei quickly got off of him, and stared at the ground.

"…are you sure, cuz you two are acting really strange." Davis pointed out. "…come on, you can tell me…r-right?"

"Not really, Davis, you're really very unreliable." Ken said.

"I know, but I'll try to shut up." Davis grinned. "Come on, just tell me!"

"…I have to go to class." Yolei interrupted. "…bye." She walked off, quickly.

"…I have to go to class too." Ken said. "By-"

"Hold up!" Davis said grabbing his hand. "Both of you aren't gonna just leave me here! One of you are gonna crack soon, and I know it's gonna be Mr. Softy!"

"…who's that?"

"You."

"Afraid you'd say that." Ken sighed. "Okay, Davis, what do you wanna know?"

"Seriously?" Davis gawked. "You're actually gonna tell me?"

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Ken asked.

"Okay…why are you and Yolei acting so strange?" Davis asked. "And what do you have to hide?"

"Do you have $10 000?"

"…no."

"Then I can't tell you, sorry, Davis." He walked off.

Davis grumbled,. "I knew it was gonna be some sort of trick! If they won't tell me, I'm gonna find out myself!"

******

Remember, try to get our mind off of it. You have a game tonight, and if you are gonna be distracted, then you can't go to the game. Fake being sick, I don't care. I just can't go… Ken thought.

I wonder what he's thinking…is it about the kiss or not? …who am I kidding? Being him, he's probably forgotten all about it. Am I the only one still thinking about it… Yolei thought.

This is stupid! Everyone's thinking except for me…what do they have to think about. And I wonder what they have to hide! I wish I could find out! If not, I'm probably gonna have to figure out for myself… Davis thought.

…I have no idea what's going on. Yolei has been acting strange lately. I wonder what's gotten into her…and Ken. They both seem so close yet so distant…I wonder if they like each other. Kari thought.

Ken seems really dazed off lately. I wonder what's gotten into him…or Yolei, for that matter. Hey, is it just a coincident that she and Ken are acting strange? Couldn't possibly be! Could it? TK thought.

"Ken, the square root of 36?"

"6."

"How did you know that?"

"Because you'd asked me that question 3 times now."

"Right…" The teacher paced back and forth. "…I'll give you guys a break since you've been working so hard. You have the rest of the period to do whatever you want. I need some time to myself as well. Carry on, then."

Ken, Yolei, Kari, TK or Davis didn't move. They kept on thinking.

"…Mr. Ichijouji, Miss Inoue, Miss Kamiya, Mr. Takaishi and Mr. Motomiya…" The teacher began. "…you can move now!"

They didn't reply, and none of them blinked.

He checked on their heads for headphones or any of the above. Nothing. "…I'll give you detention if you don't do something."

Still nothing.

"…I'll fail you all."

No movement.

He walked over to Ken and whispered, "…I'll take away your Glay CDs."

Ken stared around the room, and jerked his head to the side, "…what?"

"Glad you've awakened. I've given the class a free period. Go ahead and work on anything you want." He said.

Suddenly, the others "woke up" from their in depth train of thoughts. Yolei opened her book, and began writing something, Davis rested his head on his desk and decided to sleep, TK read something and Kari started drawing some picture.

"…Ken, Yolei, may I talk to you two for a second?" The teacher asked, at his desk.

"…Yes, sir." They both replied.

"See, now they're even gettin' in trouble together!" Davis complained. "What is going on!?"

"Shh, Davis!" Kari snapped. "I'm trying to hear what they're saying."

***

"Well, you two…" He began. "…it seems…that both of you have a lack in concentration this week. May I ask the change?"

None of them replied.

"…I'll ask anyhow." He smiled. "…Ken, your average went down from a 98, Yolei, yours went down from a 95. Care to explain?"

Yolei shook her head, and Ken continued to gaze at the ground.

"…also, your test scores have went down from a possible A+ to a degraded B. You're now doing B to C work, when you used to do…A - to A+ work. Care to explain?"

Ken sighed, "…I understand what you're saying. But I think it's just because of a lack of sleep." He lied.

"…r-right." Yolei stuttered.

"I've been up all night, studying for the tests, and it seems that without sleep, the studying is never complete, I'm sorry." Ken bowed in deep respect.

"…yeah." Yolei replied nervously.

"…so is that it?" The teacher asked. "…If I boost your participation marks up 10, will you promise to not study so hard?"

"…s-sure." Yolei stuttered.

"Right." Ken replied.

"Alright then, you may take your seats." He said.

Yolei and Ken walked back to their seats and sighed.

"Okay, what is going on?" Davis asked. "Not even I get in trouble in pairs! It's too much for a guy like me understand! Just tell me what's going on!"

"…to tell you the truth, I'm not quite sure myself." Ken stated. "…happy?"

"No!" Davis complained. "You should know! She was hugging you!"

Yolei blushed and stared back down at her work.

"…and she's being so quiet too." TK whispered to Kari. "Do you think anything's wrong?"

Yolei grumbled, "I heard that TK-- And there is nothing wrong with me!!!" She snapped. "…now shut up!!"

"…I take that back." TK replied, nervously.

"Ha, you got told…" Davis laughed. "As I as saying, who wants to explain this to me?"

No one answered.

Yolei sighed, Okay, if Davis is gonna stick his big nose in the way, I'll just act normal, that way they won't question me. "…so…who wants to hear something?"

"…try me." TK muttered.

"Okay, so, my dad went to Germany to over power a new perfume to the Germans, and he happened to have met Hitler's cousin--

"Hitler didn't have a cousin." TK pointed out.

"Shut up," Yolei sighed. "Well, it was someone who looked like him, and so the guy is now trying to start some really big cult against the Japanese folk, and it's all because of the perfume right, and see the way that you would know he was related to Hitler was because…they're very prejudice. And so, he's planning to kill everyone on the east coast of the world, but that wasn't after…"

12 minutes later…

"…and of course, this was before the Russian flood. I didn't understand Russian though, and I tried to ignore those people although they kept attacking us--"

"And this all happened last weekend?" Ken interrupted.

"…oh, of course." Yolei said. "…absolutely. …as I was saying--"

Suddenly, the bell rang and all the students were dismissed.

"…crap…" Davis muttered. "…I forgot I have a game today. A rematch against Ken's team." He grinned at Ken, "I hope you're ready to hail me once again."

"…Davis, aren't you taking this game stuff too seriously?" Ken asked.

"Nothing is ever too serious for soccer!" Davis cackled. "So, are you comin' to the game or are you staying at home to clear your mind?"

"…I-I'm…coming, sure, why?" Ken asked.

"Just askin'." Davis shrugged. "…hey, what happened with you and Yo-"

"Hey Ken, can I talk to you?" TK asked. "It's about Yolei. Do you know what's wrong with her?"

Yolei all of a sudden appeared behind TK and grumbled, "I heard that again Mr. Pot! And I told you there is nothing wrong with me!!!"

Ken sighed, This is too much for me to handle. I have to get ready for my game soon…and get away from all these people. How am I supposed to know what's wrong with Yolei? She promised that she would shut up if I kissed her, and so I did kiss her and…ah…oh, okay, I get it now….she enjoyed it, and now she's acting all scarce…I should've known.

"Ken, dear!" Mrs. Ichijouji paraded through his room. "There are some men here to see you."

"Are they from Shipping R Me?" Ken asked. "If they are, tell them to-"

"No, actually, they're from a products company. They said you owe them a rebate for buying their products." She reminded him. "…you know, the fold-up chairs, teddy bears, pieces of-"

"Oh, okay, sure." Ken said.

"They also want to sample the product!"

"Wha?"

"They said they want to take a picture of you with them." She smiled.

"…but you know they're all down the garbage chute, right?" Ken asked.

"..uh…"

"You told them I still have them!"

"They would expect that you'd keep it until a month or so." She smiled. "…oh yes, and I wanted your friend that came over last time, I wanted to know if she wanted to come over for dinner again!"

"Who? Yolei?" Ken gawked.

"…I think that's her." She muttered. "With the glasses and mauve hair?"

"…w-well, I don't think--"

"Hey Ken!!" Yolei called from outside the apartment door. "There are some men here to see you!" She opened the door. "Hi Mrs. Ichijouji, Hi Mr. Ichijouji, Hi Ken!"

Ken sighed, "…hey."

"…oh, this is such a wonderful moment." Mrs. Ichijouji sniffed. "I'll be right back!" She ran into the bathroom, and began crying.

"…well, um…hey." Ken smiled. "…Do you wanna…come inside for a second?"

"Okay, sure." Yolei replied, following him into his room. "So, what's--"

"Did you happen to keep any of the products?"

"The ones we threw away?"

"Yeah."

"No, why?"

"Dang, I am in so much trouble." Ken sighed. "…they expect me to take a picture with all the products."

"Tell them you don't live here, they'll go away." She said.

"…I'll try it." Ken muttered. "Oh, and my mom asked if you wanted to stay for dinner after the soccer game."

"…really?" Yolei gasped. "…well, s-s-s-sure…I mean, well…uh…I-if I stay will you kiss me again?"

"…can you help me get rid of these people first?" Ken asked.

"…huh? Oh right."

***

"Hello!" The man boomed. "Are you Ken Ichijouji?"

Yolei scanned the man up and down. "…do I look like a guy?"

"..not entirely." The man muttered.

"Listen, lady, we're looking for Ken Ichijouji. Do you know him?" The other man asked.

"One second." She closed the door, and whispered to Ken. "What should I tell them?"

"That I don't live here anymore and your name is …Mikado Oretejima." Ken muttered.

"Um, okay." She opened the door and sighed, "No, he doesn't live here anymore."

"Alright," The man replied. "…and you are?"

"Mikado Oretejima." She replied, nervously.

"Alright, then, sorry to bother you." The other said, and they both left.

Yolei closed the door and smiled, "Well?"

"Well what?" Ken asked. "Thanks for helping me get rid of them, by the way."

"And?"

"And what?"

"And where's my kiss?"

"I didn't agree to anything." Ken shook his head.

"You could always laugh for me, then." Yolei shrugged.

"…fine- no. I'm not laughing and I'm not kissing you again." Ken stated.

"Please!"

"…I-I think you're just getting greedy now."

"Am not."

"Don't lie."

"I'm not lying."

"Right. Like you don't lie about everything you say to just impress people?"

"I don't lie about everything!"

"Most things."

"Not everything, though…"

Ken turned around, "…you're angry at me, right?"

"No."

"Why not? If I were Davis or TK, you would've killed me by now."

"…you're different."

"How?"

"Stop asking me how. I don't know."

"Then tell me why."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"…because…" Yolei stuttered. I can't tell him the real reason, can I? …no, not now. Then what can I say? "…because you kissed me, and I'm just being nice."

"Oh, okay."

"And you let it off that easily?"

"Not really. Why are you choosing to be nice now, and not to anyone else?"

"…c-can we just go, or you're gonna miss your game." Yolei stuttered, changing the subject.

"…fine." Ken shrugged.
