Disclamer: I don't own Digimon or anything connected with it.

A/N: Okay, heres the 3rd chapter to my story. There is no romance yet, some feelings maybe, but no romance. I want to thank all the readers who have reveiwed and all of the readers who have read it and haven't reveiwed. Thanks a bunch.

Rose: Yes, thank you.

Fancy: As it was our idea

Ken: Yeah, we should have some credit.

Willis: That is not fair.

Sphinx: So sue me.

Ken: Maybe we will.

Everyone else: YEAH!!

Sphinx: Oh crud, what have I gotten myself into now.

Black Tornado

Chapter 3

------------------------------------

TK sat on the front porch of the house, with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands.

"TK," Cody said, joining him on the porch "She'll be fine. So will Ken."

"I hope so." TK said

"Hey," Cody said, placing a hand on the older boys sholder. "At least they have each other."

"True," Tk said. "But I can't help but worry."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kari Kamiya and Ken Ichijouji, again dressed as the Digimon Emperor, both stood in a slightly lighted room waiting for instructions.

"Once you step outside this room," the strange voice told them "Ken will again be the Digimon Emperor. You two will be forced to work together at all times. If you don't, this whole test will be usless and you might not survive. You must find the house at the edge of the forest. You will receive further instructions there."

A door appeared to the left of them. Both Kari and Ken walked to it. "Good luck." the voice told them before the opened the door, and stepped through it.

Immediately Ken could feel his whole personality change. He felt anger, guilt, and hate build up inside of him.

Kari seemed to sense this change. She moved a few feet behind Ken as to not get in his way. Both of them looked at the forest for a few seconds.

"Um," Kari started "I guess we have to work together, right?"

"Unfortunetly." Ken answered. "I can't beleive I'm being forced to work with one for you Digifools."

"Well," Kari answered "I'm not exactly thrilled about working with you either. So don't complain."

A noise in one of the bushes behind them starteled them both. A familar voice was heard from behind it. "Its Kari!"

"Gatomon!" Kari said, letting the cat like digimon jump into her arms. "Where is Wormmon?"

"I'm right here." Wormmon said from behind her. "That strange voice told us everything. So is it true? The Digimon Emperor is back?"

"I'm afraid so." Kari told him, looking at Ken.

"Oh great," Wormmon said. "This is going to be one fun adventure."

"Why're you here?" Ken asked glaring at Wormmon.

"We were sent here to help you guys out." Gatomon told him. "Be grateful. We are only here for a short time. Or at least I am."

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Kari asked her.

"Well," Gatomon said "I'm going to have to leave. I was only allowed here for two days. Wormmon will be your constent partner."

"Great," Ken said sarcasticly "Just perfect. Not only do I have to work with her," he shot a glare at Kari "But I have two lame excuses for digimon helping me."

"You think we enjoy have a absolute jerk for a partner too?" Gatomon muttered under her breath.

"Shh..." Kari told her. "You don't hear me or Wormmon complaining do you?"

"Well," Gatomon said. "Wormmon is used to him."

"Do you not think," Kari said. "That Wormmon hasn't gotten used to Ken being nice insted of the Digimon Emperor?"

"I guess your right." Gatomon said.

"Um guys?" Wormmon said timidly "We have a problem."

"What is it Wormmon?" Kari asked concerend.

"Ken has just left without us."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well," Tai said after all of them had explored the house. "It seems as if there was absolutly nothing here at all."

"It doesn't make sense." Yolei said. "How can a tornado just dissapear? I mean, I know TK wasn't imagining anything. If anybody says he was, exactly how are they going to explain Ken and Kari's dissaperence?"

"Exactly." TK said. "Now try and tell that to Davis."

"And I think its pretty obvious," Hawkmon said "That Wormmon and Gatomon are with them. I mean they aren't here, are they?"

"But how is that?" TK said. "They didn't get sucked in. Unless I didn't see it. Or they were sucked in after I ran."

"What we've got to do," Tai said "Is go back to the real world, get someone who has alot of knowledge, like Izzy, and come back here."

"But what happens if Kari and Ken come back while we are gone?" Cody asked.

"Well," Davis said. "They haven't returned yet. I don't think they will anytime in the next hour or two."

"Davis is right." TK said "We should stick with Tai's plan. Lets go get Izzy. He'll know what to do."

"I hope." Yolei said

"Okay everyone," Tai said. "Lets go."
______________________________________
"Hi Mrs.Izumi," Tai said to Izzy's mother. "Is Izzy home. We really need to see him."

"He's in his bedroom on his computer." she told them." Go on in."

"Thanks." Tai said as he rushed down the hall. "Izzy! Its us!" he called through the door.

"Come on in guys." Izzy said opening his door. "Whats the matter. You look terrible."

"Well," Tai said. "To make a long story short, Ken and Kari are missing."

"What do you mean missing?" Izzy said." How?"

TK explained everything about the house, the tornado, etc. "So any ideas on how this happend?" he asked Izzy.

"Not really." Izzy said, paceing around the room. "I really don't have a clue how that happend. Except that there was some kind of evil going on in there. You say the tornado was completly black?"

"Yes." TK said.

"Well," Izzy said. "The only thing I can think of is it is some how realated to the dark ocean. I mean, Ken and Kari both are some how the only people to really travel there right."

"Wrong." Yolei said. "I've seen it. When we were looking for Gatomon's tail ring. I saw it then."

"Yes," Izzy said. "But Ken and Kari are both very kept up inside. Which in turn, makes them vunerable to the Dark Ocean."

"True." Tai said. "But why would this thing only take them?"

"Tai," Izzy said. "Haven't you been listeing? I just told you!"

"Yes Izzy," Tai said, annoyed "I was listening."

"Just not very well, obviously." Izzy said. Tai glared at him. "Well, have you gone back to the house."

"Yes." Davis said. "It was empty. Nothing was there. It was like nothing had ever been there."

"That is strange." Izzy said. "Are Gatomon and Wormmon with them?"

"We assume they are." Cody said. "Since none of us have seen them since Kari and Ken dissapeared."

"Well, they can protect them." Yolei said. "And at least they have each other to help out. Kari and Ken could be very strong working together. Ken knows the powers of darkness better then anyone. He was the Digimon Emperor. Plus Kari can help out with the power of her crest. Sounds like it is very powerful. So there is two ups to them surviving. Just how do we get them back?"

"I don't know." Izzy said. "Tai, call the others. This calls for a Digidestined meeting."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He's gone?" Kari said. "Where could go?"

"Off in the woods?" Gatomon suggested

"I know that." Kari said. "Well I guess the only thing we can do is wander around till we find him. I know it sounds dumb, don't look at me like that." she snapped, seeing Gatomon staring at her in disbeleif.

"Hey guys," Wormmon called to them " Found tracks. They must be Ken's."

"Good job, Wormmon." Kari told him. "Your pretty smart you know." The little green digimon blushed. "Now, lets follow those tracks."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later...

"I was wondering when you fools where going to find me." Ken said glaring at them.

"Well its not our fault you walked off and left us." Gatomon told him.

"Gatomon," Kari warned. "Did you find anything yet?"

"Well," the emperor said. "I found the house. It is just around this hill."

"Great." Kari said. "My feet are killing me."

All three of them followed Ken to the house. Kari had half expected it to be like the house they had been too four hours ago. But it was the exact oppisite. Insted of being dark brown like the other house, it was bright colors. "This looks cozy."

Ken rolled his eyes at her. "Lets get inside." he said simply.

"Best idea i've heard all day." Kari said.

"Well," Gatomon said under her breath "He is a genius."

Kari laughed softly. As they entered the house, she got a totally different feeling then she did in the other house. It was warm and cozy. "Good job, Digidestined. You have reached your destination." a familar voice said

"You again." Kari said. "Are you surprised that we made it?"

"Not really. I knew this was easy to find. Plus your a Digidestined. You would have not givin up."

"Who are you calling a Digidestined?" Ken asked him. "I'm not one of these Digi-fools."

"Um," Kari said "Actully Ken, you are."

"Quiet you!" Ken snapped at her.

"Stop it you two." the voice snapped at them both, causing them to jump. "Your next instrucions are just to rest. I will tell you the rest in the morning. Good night to both of you."

"Well," the emperor "I am takeing his advice and going to bed." And he swept across the room into one of the two bedrooms.

"Well," Kari told the two digimon "I think I agree with him. Sleep is sounding really good right about now."

"I agree." Gatomon said.

"Ditto." Wormmon said.

"Good night everyone!" Kari called through the house. She got two goodnights back and one shut up from the emperor. She smiled to herself as she crawed into the bed.' I can get through this. Even without Tai or TK.'. Then she shut her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sphinx: Well, that chapter bit.
Rose: What chapter doesn't bite with you.
Ken: *cracks up laughing*
Sphinx: You know, I can torture you in the next chapter Ken. Don't push me.
Ken: *laughs even harder*
Sphinx: I just can't win around here.

A/N: Sorry if Kari was a little out of charicter. It was kinda hard to keep it like that. I hope you enjoyed it. Also please reveiw.
