Hi all

Hi all, this is the 6th chapter, and this is really Iori's Kiss. I'm sure it's plaguing a couple of people to know who he is going to end up with, but I gave a couple of hints if you can read between the lines, so if you looked carefully, you could have guessed it.

Well, Yaoi and Yuri warning...

Oh, and for all the other chapters I forgot the disclaimer... Woe is me.... So hum. I don't own Digimon, okay?

Anyways, Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The young prince slowly opened his eyes and found out that it was darkness around him. The night was set and he was outside of the kingdom's walls. He had always been told how dangerous it was, but should he go back to the castle? After what his father had did? After his father made him become some sort of object with no emotions because of that stupid challenge. Where in his right mind did his father thought it was a good idea? Iori sighed in a depress and upset kind of way. He really couldn't...

The prince rose from his position, which was next to the river that had helped him get out of the kingdom. "Now where do I go? " He asked out loud. He was pretty sure that there wasn't anyone outside at this time, so it wouldn't matter if he spook loudly. Besides, with if whisper kind of voice, hardly no one could even hear him... "There really isn't somewhere to go... Maybe I should just go in a straight line till something stops me..." The brown haired one thought.

He took a couple of steps, until he heard screech that could only come from the kingdom's door opening. Form his place he could see a couple of guards coming out, but he couldn't hear a word from them. Not taking any chances, the prince hide himself behind a well place tree.

' Why would some of the guard come out at this time? It's nonsense unless they are looking for something, or someone...' The prince was a clever little boy, and he didn't need to be told that the guards where probably a search party for him sent by his father. The king wanted him to be brought back to the castle. 'Probably to make me find a bride because it's soo obvious his contest didn't work for me. But I'm not going to let him win! I'm going to go away, and never will they find me, never will I let myself submit to them! ' And with that planned, the nine year old prince ran in the opposite direction then the one the guards where going.

He ran till he was out of breath. When he couldn't continue to run, he slowed down to a walk, stopped and look at the scenery around him. It was pretty dark, but he could see the contrast of some trees a couple meter in front of him, other then that, there wasn't much to see. The walls of the kingdom were hardly visible, but he knew they where there. He managed to ran quite far away, be he used a lot of energy and when you do that you tend to get hungry. So not only was he panting, but his stomach was rumbling.

Sighing, he went over to the closest tree, sat down next to it and placed his back on it to rest a bit. Out of curiosity, he looked around to see if there was something interesting to see.

In front, nothing... Just the small light of the little fires made by some guards to kept the wall lighten up.

To his right... There wasn't anything else other then some trees...

To his left... More trees, it appears that he was at the entrance of a little forest.

Down on the ground... Just his legs spread in front of him. His clothes a bit dirty, but on the bright side they were dry from the little swing in the frozen water. It was a struck of luck he the he didn't get sick. Is immune system is quite effective.

Behind him.... Pretty useless to look behind knowing it was the tree that he was leaning on.

And finally, up.... Nothing except the foliage of the tree... .. .and huge, red, delicious looking apple! To Iori, and probably anyone who is as hungry as he is for the moment, it would seem it would be glowing... But how is he going to get it? He can't really climb the tree... Something being small brings advantages, other times disadvantages.

Because he was deprive of something, he sighed in frustration. He still decided to get on his feet, maybe by standing up he could think of something... But nothing was coming to him... So he kicked a rock, just like his older brother Jyou did. Luckily from him it didn't' hit someone in the back of the head. Instead, it just gave him a bright idea. He could throw the rocks in the tree to make the apple fall.

He bent down and took an arm full of those little hard pieces of earth and throw one of them in the tree towards the apple. He missed.

He took an other rock and did the same thing and missed the apple... But he did managed to hit something without trying. The thing that he hit opened it's sleeping eyes to know what had hit him. It didn't take something for that, because an other rock hit the creature right in the middle of his eyes making it fall down from the tree just in front of the prince.

Iori looked at the thing that just fell. It didn't look at all like the apple... Frowning he looked more at it. Even thought it was dark, he could see that it had smooth green skin with a bit of pink at some places. That was all the could make of the creature because it fell straight on it's stomach.

Ever so slowly it started to raise it's head, and Iori could see it had two antennas, just as green as the rest of it's body. Also the creature and a dark purple pair of mandible. The little creature, witch looked a lot like a caterpillar opened his aqua-blue eyes.

The prince didn't even needed to be told what that was. It was a digimon. A small one, probably a rookie. Iori stood his guard, you should never turn your back or underestimate an opponent.

The digimon, that the boy assumed was a Wormmon, because his brother Ken held some sort of fondness of that species and he sometime talked about them and researched them. So without wanting to, you learn a couple of things from the blue haired prince.

The Wormmon looked at human being. It was on it's territory. Wormmons were known to have a bit of a possessive side when it was something close of them (A/N: Don't believe me? Watch the episode when Ken and Matt go to Mexico... Wormmon scared me with him being possessive over Ken... Too possessive...) plus the human did throw a rock at him... Letting his digital instinct kick him, he attacked.

"Sticky net! " The Wormmon yelled as a web of silk was flying out of his mouth to stick at the boy. The prince never had the time to dodge it because it was coming at a really rapid paste, so he was covered with it. The digimon didn't seem to let up it's attack, so Iori was tangled up in that silky web till he had to much and feel on the ground.

Seeing that his enemy was down, the Wormmon approached the boy, carefully not to get hit by the struggling boy, so he didn't noticed that he was heading towards the rocks that the prince was holding, and had let fall to the ground because of the attack. And so the Wormmon tripped over them, and tried to regain balance, but believe it or not, it's harder to do so when you have 10 feet.

Twisting, tumbling, and turning, the digimon did his best to not fall, but it was unsuccessful as he fell straight on Iori...

Well, in fact his mandible fell straight on the prince's lips. If someone didn't know any better you could almost consider that as a kiss...

And that's what a couple of person did.....

The guards of the search party had saw the prince throw the rocks, and come over there just to in time to see this scene. The guards grinned, ohhh... the little prince going to get it. A kiss, a marriage....

"Well, well," One of the guards started. "Seems little prince Iori found someone... Well something..." With that, he let out a cruel chuckle. The Wormmon had lift his mandible from the prince's face and looked at the guards with confusing written in his eyes. Iori focused his gaze at them, glaring. They wouldn't, would they?

"It appears so." An other guard said. "Well we should bring them to the castle then..." Ohh no, they would do such a thing as to say that it was a kiss and that Iori should married the digimon.

One of the guards went over to Iori and easily picked up. Good thing the digimon did such a good job rapping him up, now he could run away. But he did continue to struggle.

An other of the guards went over to gently pick the Wormmon but instead, only to get his hand bitten. "Darn little thing! " He growled as he plunged to roughly catch it. He took hold of the antennas to hold him, making sure it couldn't bit his hand, and because the green digimon used so much of his silk to attack the prince, he didn't have any more to attack the guard.

And so, the guards brought the struggling boy, and mad digimon to the castle. Chuckling all the way. Iori know a couple of guards who are going to have an excruciating death...

~~~

Meanwhile back at the castle, the king was getting acquainted with his new sons-in-law and their family members as well as friends. The prince were busy planing some things for the wedding. It was to be hold about 3 days from now.

Anyways, the king, Sora, Takeru, Taichi, Hikari, Jun, Koushiro and Daisuke (still chained but not gagged this time), were in a discussion room. It was called like that because there wasn't any other things to do except talk with one and other. There was some chairs and some little coffee table placed in a circle.

Jun was talking with Sora and Taichi. Taichi was asking her why she didn't make him sign her t-shirt and Sora was flirting with her, not that she noticed... She seems only to eyes for boy... No matter anyway to the crimson eyes girl. She was promised by the king, that Lady Mimi was coming.

Daisuke was next to Takeru, begging him to unlock him, thinking that because he was blond, maybe he would act like one. But of course Takeru saw that, but he decided to stick around Daisuke. Fisrt reason 'cuz he was awfully cute. Ken is right, leather would go well on him... And second reason, Hikari was quite depress that she kept looking at the window so it was pretty useless to try to start a conversation with her.

Koushiro was talking with the king upon the fact that he had some theories on how to improve life qualities inside the kingdom, starting with helping the disable people. The king was interested by the idea, except that Koushiro sure had a way to make it complicated to understand. The ruler of the country told his son-in-law that maybe he should tell about it to his counsellors. The red-head nodded at the suggestion and told his highness that he would. The king excused him by saying that he would like to get to know the others as well. He looked around and saw that all the others where in deep conversation.

Sora was, with no subtlety what so ever, opening flirting with Jun as Taichi was fuming over the spiked girl comment about who the t-shirt was meant for 'cute' guys.

Daisuke was still trying to convince Takeru to unleash him, and because really liked to see this boy squirm, as Ken had put it earlier, decided to play the blond and to say some stupid comment, making Daisuke wanting to hit his head with the palm of his hand... That is if his hands were free.

Finally, the king brought his gaze at Hikari, sister to his second son's fiancé. She was looking at the window, quite depress. He decided to go talk to her, and maybe he will know the overshadowment that was covering her glimmer of joy earlier that he took a mental note to ask her later.

He came next to her, pulled a chair that was close by and put it in front of her. He sat down and all the movement made Hikari to look at him instead of the outside where the sun had already sought refuge form the night.

"Hello my dear." He greeted her in the warmest why he could. She did a little smile at him.

"Hello your highness..." Her voice seemed so distant.

"Tell me dear, is something wrong? " He asked concerned. She shook her head.

"No, nothing that you should concern yourself about your highness." She responded.

"Nothing I should concern myself? " The king repeated "I'm sorry, but I think it is my concern when the future lady is depress. Now tell me dear, what is wrong." Hikari sighed and brought her gaze back to the window.

"Your highness, have you ever been in love with a person ignore your feelings? " The king was surprised by this question. He can honestly say that he wasn't expecting it. He shook his head in a negative manner.

"I'm sorry, it never happened to me, but I'--" The king was interrupted by Hikari quickly turning to him.

"Then you don't know how I feel! " She snapped. Usually she would be polite, but sometimes you have to be rude to make someone leave you alone. Speaking about her feelings was upsetting her. She didn't want to think of Miyako now, she just couldn't... She hastily stood up, tears where on the side of her eyes. "If you would excuse me, I'll be in my quarters." She left in a hurry, making the others in the room look at her leave.

"What was her problem? " Sora said, breaking the little silence that had formed. She turned to the king, as did the others. The king explained what had been exchanged between them.

"She must have been talking about Miyako..." Jun stated, making everybody look at her.

"What do you mean by that Jun? " Taichi asked. Why would Hikari do a scene about Miyako? The older girl was about to answer, but her brother did instead.

"She means by that, that Hikari is in love with her, and it's true cause she once told me..." Everybody looked at him surprised, especially Takeru. Why would his best friend tell a deep secret to that boy, without even telling him. Before anyone could ask him, Daisuke continued. "At a time I was courting her and things where going smoothly, that is, what I thought, be she said that she was using me to make Miyako jealous. She told me everything form the fact that she was in love madly with her, but that Miyako hardly showed any sigh towards her..." Everybody fell into silence after the chained boy's speech. Finally the king spoke up.

"Who is Miyako? "

"Miyako is the youngest daughter of the town's grocer. " Taichi said, still a bit dumbfound by his sister's secret.

"Well then I guess there is only one thing left to do...." The king started as the others looked at him with question filled eyes. "We should invite her at the marriages, and who knows, maybe they will 'accidentally' find each other there. "The king said putting insistence on accidentally .

The others agreed, and they started to plan a way to make sure it would work, but they couldn't a lot, because a messenger came to the discussion room to say that prince Iori had arrived, and suprisingly had a fiancé. The king was overjoyed to hear the news and asked how the bride looked like. The messenger couldn't say a word because he too didn't know how the new fiancé looked like.

Being too curious, the king rushed towards the throne room where his son was supposed to be brought too. The others in the discussion room followed him, and when you see the king run in the hallways it always mean something, so a couple of person asked what was happening. Words get out quickly and they reached the ears of prince Jyou, Yamato and Ken in seconds, and they too left what they where doing to head towards the throne room to see their little brother fiancé.

~~~

Now everyone was in the throne room, that is everybody excluding Iori who still haven't arrived yet, and Hikari who was in her quarters, crying over lost love. The room was filled with anticipation. Finally the throne door opened up and a couple of guards come walking. It was the guards from the search party. They came up to the king at the others, and roughly threw little Iori, all tangled up in sticky net. The people in the room looked at him frowning. Sure a couple of people knew about the mutual hatred between the guards and Iori, but wasn't this a bit to severe?

"You majesty, prince Iori." The guard who was carrying him said. The only thing the brown haired boy did was to glare at the man. "And finally the moment you've been waiting for, his fiancé..." As he said that, the man who was carrying the digimon, threw it to the ground, in the same manner as the prince.. The creature glided just besides the prince. Everybody blinked more then once in shocked.... Iori glare was still present towards the guards. He still had is morbid thoughts on how he should decapitate them, but the guards just shrugged it off and they turned away, all with a smug expression on their face.

The awkward silence that the room made was finally broken by the king clearing his throat and speaking. "Well......... I wasn't expecting that...." Iori glared at his father.

"Go ahead everybody laugh it up! " He yelled fury, with a hint of embarrassment . "Can someone at lest free me from the webbing? " He asked. No one made a move to help. The only thing that was made was a comment by Daisuke saying something about not being the only one like that, complaining about his chain, making Ken squeak in delight. "Well? " The prince asked impatiently. Nodding, the king made a motion to one of the always present guard to cut the webbing with his sword. Iori got up after being freed and dusted his dirty clothes trying to keep some dignity. "Now if you would excuse me, I'm going to my room." The young boy quickly left for his room, leaving his father and brothers, as well as all the others there, including the only digimon who was quite out of place in the castle.

"Well that was something..." Sora said breaking the silence. The others nodded and then looked at the Wormmon, and like it was told earlier, prince Ken had a fondness towards that sort of digimon species so he approach it. He went over to it and bent down.

"Hello, my name is Ken." He said in a smooth and gentle voice. "What's yours? " The little digimon looked at him and answered that his name was Wormmon, just like the others of his species, but it was as if there wasn't any of his species... He had never met an other Wormmon in all his life...Ken explained a bit of the situation of what was going on, and who was all the others. " So you are going to marry my little brother Iori..." Ken concluded. Wormmon nodded fully understanding.

"Euh... Is Iori really going to marry the digimon? " The king asked.

"He have to if Wormmon kissed him. That was the challenge." Ken stated.

"But I could make an exception... I'm sure Iori wouldn't mind. It was an accident and it wasn't wanted." The king said making Ken shake his head.

"No, if you make an exception for him, You'll have to make an exception for Daisuke, and no way am I going to let go of him..." The blue haired boy said, glancing at it love making him groan inwardly.

"Oh... I guess you are right then..." The king scratched the back of his head. Seemed as if he couldn't do anything about it...

"Anyways," Ken turned back to Wormmon, "I have an idea that might make Iori happy, but you have to give me your consent."

"What will it be? " Wormmon asked. Ken bent down towards Wormmon and whispered it to him. The digimon thought for a while and nodded. The prince made a gesture to tell Wormmon to climb on him and he did what was asked. Ken got up from his crouch position.

"This might take all night, so you better get some sleep, you'll know what it's going to be in the morning." Ken said to the group and before leaving, he added: "Oh and make sure Daisuke doesn't run away. He have to get fitted for his clothing for the marriage." Again Daisuke groaned.

The others did what Ken suggested and went to bed.

~~~

"This might hurt for a while, but are you sure you don't mind? " Ken asked Wormmon. They where in some sort of laboratory that was somewhere inside the castle. The caterpillar nodded at Ken question. "There is no turning back once it's done you know." Again Wormmon nodded.

"I'm ready, you can do it." Now it was Ken's turn to nod. He took a needle and planted it behind Wormmon's neck. He waited a few minutes for the reaction to form. Slowly, Wormmon started to twitch and he felt as if he was starting to get tear from the inside. It was quite painful, but it would be over soon. That's what Ken was saying over and over anyways...

The pain, and tearing sensation was always present, but Wormmon concentrated on other things that he managed to ignore the pain. Finally, he heard Ken say it was over. Opening his eyes, that he didn't even know he had close, looked around him and slowly got up...

What weird feeling it was to only have two legs.... Bringing his paw-- I mean hand to his head he felt silky material that he thought would be hair. Ken brought a mirror and handed it to him.

Wormmon looked at his new reflection. No longer was the face of insectoid digimon. Instead there was the face of a young boy with light green hair and aqua-blue eyes... Wormmon was know a human.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

End of part 6!

Okay, so Iori ended up with Human-Wormmon! Believe it or not, this is the third fic I managed to put them together! Here are all the hints I gave for people to guess it.:

  1. The title. It gave you a chance to see it was going to be with a digimon.

  2. In Ken's Kiss I told to go read my other fics to get a hint on who it might be saying that I did write that couple once.

  3. In Jyou's Kiss I said that I posted a sequel of an other fic. That was a hint! The sequel of the fic I mention was the first fic I wrote with Cody/Iori and Human-Wormmon. The sequel also got some but it's also filled with a lot of humor with the other couples. (Changing Apperance is the fisrt ic that I wrote with Cody and Human-Wormmon, and Throught the Turmoil is it's sequel.)

  4. To go see my web page..... Yes it was some promos, but I got a couple of fanart of Human-Wormmon and Cody/Iori...I'm always saying that I'm hook on that couple... Oh and here is the address. http://thedigimonvoid.homestead.com/warningpage.html go and see the pics!

  5. In the couple updates, the fact that I said he didn't have blond hair...

  6. In my thanks at the end of the couple update I said to one person (Mahniy) that it was the only one who got it. You could have went see the review at looked at what she said...

Anyways, as usual I thank Loconik Digi (Even thought I edidted this part... I still thank him just by saying he's there.). I got one chapter to go, then I'll work on 180°Change, promise!
