Chapter 6: Passion, Pummeling, Pirates!!
"Yeah, right, on who?" Ken said, referring to Daisuke's request. The waitress had showed presence of mind enough to get the hell out of there, and Daisuke was the only other person in the room.
*****************************************************************
"Yeah! Come on, let'shh shee shome h'action!" Takeru said in the control room, slightly drunk at this point. "Show 'em how it'sh done, Ken!" He grabbed Iori (who was similarly inebriated) and spun him around on the swivel chair.
******************************************************************
"Well..." Daisuke said, taking stock of the vacated room. His mind had a glimmer of what he was going to say next, but his mouth was moving too fast for his slow mind to catch it. "On me. For educational purposes."
The train of thought broke the sound barrier and slammed into the station, yelling at his heart and his mouth, What in all the Hells accepting Swedish Fish are you doing??? He told his mind to jack off.
Ken was a bit surprised at Daisuke, but hey, "If it's for educational purposes..."
******************************************************************
"How's this for education?" Michael said, giving Wallace a kiss that left him dazed as Betamon, Terriermon and Gummimon giggled. When he finally came to, he said,
"Whoof. Better education than I ever got from my teachers!"
(A/N: Dark Peregrine, (Aka, Caitlin) of course, gets this kind of education from Mr. Ardoin all the time...)
******************************************************************
"And you place your hands here, and here..." Ken said, wrapping his arms around Daisuke in a purely professional manner.
"This is so stupid, Daisuke," Ken said, but for some reason, he didn't feel repulsed at all, which gnawed at his mind. Daisuke replicated his hands, and though Ken at first flinched at the contact, he then leaned into it, enjoying the touch of another human being. He never had let anybody near after the Kaiser thing...he'd been afraid to, but this was purely educational. Right? Then why are you enjoying it so much? His mind said. Following Daisuke's example, he told his mind to jack off.
"Then, " he said, following his own example, "you kind of lean in and...."
Daisuke caught himself looking into the taller boys eyes as he leaned in slowly, found himself melting under Ken's stare. It wasn't sadistic or full of the vengeful pain it had held, or guilty like it often did now, but the deep, indigo blue mirrors had powerful emotion behind them, though Daisuke wasn't certain what emotion they held. Was it friendship? Love? He didn't want to make an assumption, but....
They kissed. And something happened.
Daisuke was fairly certain it was only meant to be a quick smooch, but neither boy seemed willing to let go. He stiffened slightly for but a moment, then it seemed Ken's power held him captive. Feeling that contact, that connection with another person had never happened to him before. No. It had, when he and Ken had Jogress digivovled. Then, like now, it seemed he could count Ken's heart beats as well as his. Hikari could go to hell, as far as he was concerned.
Ken was equally surprised. He found himself unable to break off of Daisuke's lips, that he was hung on a single moment that lasted an eternity. A good eternity. It was as if he had found the warmth and comfort he had lacked all his life, first by shunning others as lesser, then by shunning himself. He felt empowered, but not as he had when he was the Kaiser, because the power wasn't taken from Daisuke, but shared among a current the shared.
Then, completely spoiling the romantic mood, the Murphy's Dream was shot at by cannonballs from the pirate frigider amidships and threw them both to the corner of the room.
************************************************************
"Yee-Haw!" Iori said, now completely drunk, jumping up "Operation Love Boat is a success!" The little guy grabbed Takeru and gave him a celebratory kiss which the blond haired boy responded to by giving him an even bigger one back. Hell wit Hikari, his short-circuited brain said, and the two let go of all abandon.
***************************************************************
Jyou had been locked in the Izumi bathroom (Miyako and Koushiro had lured him in with a bottle of Robitussin.) Bored, he pulled the book he was reading, Ghosts Of the Deep, and began to read the chapter labeled Ghost Ships.
'And one of the most famous ghost ships, the Mary Catherine, is said to haunt--'Jyou stopped reading. Ah, so that was where he had heard of the ship. He went back to reading 'the shores of England and--' He did a violent double take.
"Oh, shit!"
He broke the door open and ran out, passing Miyako and Koushiro. I've got to save them!
****************************************************************
"Oh no!" Wallace cried, as the saw Ken and Daisuke get thrown about on the ship.
*****************************************************************
WHOMPH! Ken and Daisuke were hurled about violently inside the ship.
The waitress, by this time, had jumped ship, as had the Cap't, and the parrot was the only other sapient being around, though he was only vaguely discernible, as he had gotten soot from the furnace all over him and was cawing "Nevermore, Nevermore!!"
Daisuke fought to stand upright, and pulled Ken to his feet, steadying the thinner boy. "What's happening?" he said, looking about at the destroyed dining room, lobster bisque falling from the chandelier.
"If I had to guess, " Ken shouted over the din as the ship groaned. "I'd say we crashed into another ship." Grabbing Daisuke's hand, he led the way up. "Let's see if we can get out of here!"
Just as the two got to the stairs, another blast rocked the boat (yeah, baby!, yeah!) "Or, that we were being shot at by cannon balls, " Ken amended. "I'm not a genius anymore, sue me."
Daisuke giggled, in spite of the fact that this was neither the time nor the place to be giggling. "I love you anyway, Ken-chan.."
Ken smiled one of his rare, brilliant smiles and pulled Daisuke up the stairs. "I know, I know, but we've got to get out of here!"
The two fought their way up the stairs, clutching each other (not that either thought this was a bad thing) every time a blast rocked the ship. Daisuke stopped at the window that Takeru built (or rather, made by destruction) and looked out into the harbor. His eyes widened, and Ken turned to see what the red-head was gaping at. Similtainiously, they both said,
"What the HELL is a pirate ship doing in Odaiba harbor?????"
