Author's note: So what do ya all think of it so far? I don't have as much time to spend working on writing fanfictions like I used too. But don't fear, cause I'll try to get them out as soon as possible. Aren't I making Willis doing a good job of being the matchmaker here. I think he's the best character, even though he only appeared in only the movie. Hey all ya people out there, please review this fanfic. I don't feel like this story is important to write. Tell you all what. The more reviews I get, the faster I'll try to get up the new chapters. I think we all understand each other. If no, then sue me (just kidding). Ok, enough talking lets get back to the story.

Forgiveness-Chapter 6

The whole crew didn't make it too far after their last rest since it was starting to grow late, so they decided to find a spot to rest for the night. 2 people were to stay on a night shift for 2 hours till the next pair were to be on the next watch. Kari and Yolei were on the second watch after Tai and Izzy had their first watch shift and both of the girls stayed at guard away from the site.

"God, if Davis keeps snoring that loud I won't get any sleep at all, even after my turn." Kari complained as sure enough was having a rough time staying on watch.
"Yeah, well at least he won't let you slack off from sleeping on the job"
"Uh huh,......." then Kari sighed.
(Even if Davis wasn't here, I'd probably wouldn't get a good night sleep. Not with everything I'm going through)
Yolei then saw that familiar expression that someone was deeply depressed.
"Kari, is something wrong?"
She then snapped back to reality. "What? Oh yeah......I was just was thinking how we're going to be able to save our world." However Yolei saw that wasn't the real reason she was so upset.
"Well we won't know until tomorrow. To tell you the truth I'm a bit scared myself." Then Yolei made a bold move. "But I think you're are worried more about your hurt feeling for TK, isn't it?"
Kari was a bit startled for a bit knowing that her friend also knew of her secret.
"Huh, what in the world are you talking about?" she said in denial.
"Kari, do I look like a dumb blond to you? (Author's note: No offense to all you blonds) I've seen the way you would always look at him with such love whenever he's around. Or how much you enjoy just being with his presence. I'm an expert at this, especially since I'm the child of Love. It's okay to tell me. "
"So I guess you figured it out?"
"Yeah. I've had that idea about you two for some time. So I'm guessing you two had some sort of fight."
Kari didn't feel like discussing this sort of matter and tried to push Yolei out of the subject. " Please Yolei. You have no idea how much I'm going through or how much I hurt because of that jerk. You wouldn't understand."
Yolei grew a bit upset at the fact her friend wasn't being honest "I may not have a broken heart like you do. And I don't have a clue how you two started to become enemies. But I do know how it is too be in love and I couldn't even imagine what I'd do if that person was to turn his back on me. I'd just go insane. That's what you're going through. You are fighting you're emotions just so you can make a damn point. To say that you are right and TK is wrong. But let me ask you this. Is it really worth it?"
Yolei stared straightly Kari's eyes with such seriousness. Then she started to burst in tears. Kari couldn't stop. "Oh, Yolei. It's just so hard for me. I never went through anything this horrible." Then she looked up to Yolei and was greeted with a smile. "I don't know what to do. I'm just so confused. One part of me wants to run into TK's arms and stay there forever. But the other part is telling me that I'm not ready yet and now's not the time. But it doesn't tell me that I should hate him."
"If you're not ready, you're not ready. That's your choice. But don't give up hope. He is the child of hope after all. You just need to apologize to him sometime soon. It'll be alright" Kari was touched and she just started to cry a bit more. Yolei then came up to here and gave her a hug, trying to comfort her. Then after a few minutes, she stopped shedding tears and just smiled back at her friend. "Thanks Yolei. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"No problem. That's what friends are for."
With that they went back to their night shift until a question arose in Kari's mind.
"Hey Yolei. Who were you talking about when you said you were in love?" she smiled as she saw her friend turn red, even through the darkness.
"What!! Did I say that? Well uh........I'd like to keep that a secret" Yolei replied nervously.
"That's not fair. I, at least, am honest with telling you my feelings about TK. And here you are, trying to keep yours a secret. I though you said you were going to be more sincere in your life when you got the digiegg of sincerity."
"Oh alright. I'll tell you, if you promise not to go rambling about it with the others."
Kari just smiled as her answer.
"Alright Kari, if you really want to know, it's.............."
"Ken, isn't it?" she said as she cut Yolei off.
"How did you know?!!"
"Just call it a lucky guess?" Now both of them were laughing.
"So when are you going to make the move Yolei?"
"Um... I really don't know. I've had a crush on him ever since Ken first join us. Back then, I was hoping he would make the first move and I would just wait. Guess it's not working?"
"Yeah. It seems we both have some conflict with our personal life."
She just nodded back then just yawned. "Well Kari, it seems our shift is over. I'm going to go get Joe since now it's his turn then I'll go doze off."
"Yep. You might even have a few dreams about........" Kari then stopped as she saw Ken coming up. Yolei was facing the other way so she didn't know he was coming up behind her.
"You mean Ken right?" It was then Kari just started bursting into laughter as Ken was finally behind Yolei.
"What's so funny Kari?" Yolei asked. Kari just pointed forward and Yolei saw she was pointing at Ken as she turned around. She suddenly started to blush, thinking that he might have heard their conversation."
Ken couldn't help but just smile a bit
"So what's this about me?" Ken asked in a teasing tone.
"Huh, well.......we were just discussing who should be on the next watch, right Kari?" she asked nervously as she look at her friend for some help.
"Yeah, sure" she said as she just smirk at what her friend has gotten into. Then she decided to give both of them some time. So she just made a simple excuse.
"But right now, Yolei, I'm famished so I'm going to get some sleep. I'll leave you two alone."
It was then Kari started to giggle a bit as she made her way back to the site.
Ken was now confused "Now what was that about?"
Yolei just smiled, trying to hide her blushing. "No idea. That girl is so unpredictable."
"Yeah I know what you're saying." Both of them just sat down on some nearby tree stumps to rest themselves as Ken looked at Yolei with a hint of concern.
"Hey, you must be sleepy. Your shift is over and I think it's Joe's turn anyway."
She just looked back at Ken "Well I was going to go and doze off, but for some reason, I don't feel like now I should go to bed." Then she just smiled. "Anyway, are you just saying that I should go because you want me too? Or would you rather have me stay with you?" That smiled melted Ken's heart but at the same time just made him blush.
"To tell you the truth, I want you to stay with me. I'm just concerned for you're well being."
"Aw Ken. How sweet of you. Usually nobody ever looks out for me."
"We all care for you, Yolei. You never are alone. You got all of us to depend on. "
"Thanks Ken. I think you're a wonderful person and that's why I think you deserve the crest of Kindness. You really bring the best out of people."
But Ken just stood silent and made a gesture of gratitude, but it seemed he sensed something was wrong.
"It seemed Kari felt troubled before she went back to the site." Ken remembered.
She was surprised that he was able to sense Kari's depression, even though she felt so happy when she left. "Ken, these days you really amaze me. Yes you are right and she is actually very troubled. But how did you even notice it?"
"I've known for a while what it's like to be lonely and depressed. And after all that time, it seemed that I have created a sense to know when a person is truly happy or sad. It seemed Kari was well below that line of depression. What's wrong?"
"Kari is just having a lover's quarrel with TK. It seemed they both had some sort of arguement. She really is going through a rough time trying to put up with her emotions."
Ken just nodded as he seemed to understand what Yolei was saying.
"She's a has a very strong heart, but if it is as bad as you say, I wouldn't imagine how much it is hurting. I doubt she's going to get any rest." Then Ken saw that the more he talked, the more he was making Yolei worry more for her friend. "Oh, I didn't mean anything bad about Kari, if I accidentally made you worry."
"No that's all right Ken. What you said was right. She certainly is a strong person, and I'm sure you only meant to comment her, right?"
"Of course, I was just trying to say that whatever she's going through, that I hope she can pull herself back together out of this situation. I wouldn't want anyone else to suffer as much as I did before. It's just all too painful." It was then Ken saw a tiny tear fall down his check and saw that he still was hurting from all those haunting memories of the digital emperor. She couldn't stand just watching him hurt without helping him. So she went to go sit by him, then slowly ,she placed her hand on top of his and held on to it. Ken suddenly felt a strong warth on top of his fingers and saw Yolei was there holding his hand. "Ken, I'm right here. I won't let you go through any pain anymore. I'll be there to comfort, you can count on that. Just please don't be alone anymore. Please don't be alone. Let me be there for you." Ken suddenly stop and saw how much she really cared for him. Could this be a sign?
It was then Yolei then closed her eyes and started to shiver a bit from the freezing wind that swept by. Ken suddenly reacted as he took off his jacket he was wearing and covered her with it while staying close to keep her warm. It was then Yolei noticed that she was suddenly warm and so comfortable. It felt so heavenly. When she opened her eyes she saw Ken's arms around her, trying to protect her from the cold. She was so close that she could hear Ken's heartbeat. Then while she pulled her head up to meet with his gaze, she asked "Ken, why are you doing this. You'll catch a cold if you don't have any warm clothes. I wouldn't want you to get sick because of me." Ken just looked at her loving eyes and cupped her check with his soft hands. "I can't do that Yolei. I care for you too much and I don't give a damn what happens to my own well being. Just as long as you're all right, I'll be all right."
Ken was startled at what he just said. 'Was that me saying those words? I never knew that it could be this easy to let out all those words' he thought. Yolei was also suddenly mixed with her own feelings. 'Did he say what I think he just did? Is this a dream and I'm still sleeping? Only one way to find out'
So Yolei finally made her move. "Ken, for a long time you've been a very special person in my life. Ever since the first day I've been wanting to say this so badly to you. That I...."
But she wasn't able to finish as Ken inched his face closer to Yolei's. She followed his lead and their lips touched in a passionate kiss that melded their hearts together in a loving bond. It seemed eons passed by as they sealed their love for each other. And both were loving each moment of it. 'No this can't be a dream. This must be heaven. ' Yolei thought.
Then both of them slowly parted from each other's lips. She then intimately came up to Ken's ear slowly and whispered " I've been waiting for so long to tell you that I have always loved you". It was then Ken's turn as he turned her as she sat on his lap. "Yolei you were the person that captured my heart. You have no idea what I would go through if something awful were to you. I'd go insane and I'd might kill myself if that happen. I have been struggling with these feeling for what seemed like an eternity, but no more. Yolei, you're the reason I have to will to live on. All because I have always loved you with all my heart." Yolei was so happy after hearing Ken's declaration of love to her, that she couldn't hold back the tears any longer. "Ken, for so long I've prayed every night that you would say that and mean every word. At first I thought is was just dream, but I guess dreams do come true." She continued to cry a bit and laid on Ken's shoulder for comfort as her lover put his arms around her once again. After a few minutes, Yolei turned to look at his face and just said. "This is the best day I've ever had. And from here till my death, I will cherish this forever." Ken just smiled back at his lover. "You and me both. On this night I will promise you that whatever happens to us, I will always protect you and love you. Even if it means my own destruction." With that their lips melted in another affectionate kiss that seemed to be more passionate than their last one. After they parted, Yolei yawned again, which made Ken have his worried face again. "I think you need to get some rest. I'll go get Joe to take over your shift." But before Ken was about to get up, Yolei stopped him. "Please Ken, let me stay with you throughout the night. I don't want to be alone." He first hesitated but then thought was that what he really wanted. His mind was telling him that it was wise to let her go sleep back at the site, but his heart was aching for her to stay with him.
"Alright Yolei. You win." He said playfully as Yolei faced lit up with happiness. "Oh Ken, you really do know what's best for a girl, don't you?" "Yeah, that's me alright. But get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow." Ken responded. Yolei then rested her head on Ken's neck as she immediately dozed off to sleep. Ken then looked down at the sleeping beauty that laid before his eyes. 'She's looks so beautiful when she's asleep. I can't believer she's mine now. I finally confessed to her my love. Guess Willis was right about that I had nothing to worry about being honest. I should thank him tomorrow. I've got a long night a head of me, but I don't care. As long as she's with me, I don't care.'
With that Ken kept on watch for the next 4 hours until morning came.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later about 10 in the Morning.................

"Hey Ken, it looks like you have some black circles around you're eyes" Izzy observed. Even though Ken kept himself awake during those four hours, he definitely paid the toll for staying up so late.
"Yeah, I didn't get such a good slumber last night." Yolei was obviously concerned for her Ken so she's been sticking by his side making sure he wouldn't fall asleep during their journey. That morning Willis found both Yolei and Ken asleep in each other's arms so he had an idea what happened last night.
"Well try not to stay up all night next time" Tai asked. "We all need strength for the morning so we can't afford for any loses"
Meanwhile TK felting a sickening knot inside of him as he remembered something horrible from last night. Because of that, he too, wasn't able to get much sleep.
I had a nightmare last night. Yet what does it mean? I see myself walking towards my apartment through the city. Then all of a sudden all the buildings and structures disappear, leaving only ruins. The I see Kari run towards me. I reach out my hand to her but before I could even touch her, she is shot by some unknown energy and falls dead. I go insane, from seeing her dead. I never told her I loved her. Then I see a enormous dark figure, emitting pure dark energy. It was him who killed her. I go crazy and go to beat the living shit out of him. But before I get to him, Everything goes dark, then I hear screams. Then I wake up. What does this mean! Am I going crazy?!
"TK what's bothering you today?" Davis asked him as TK was snapped back to reality.
"Nothing Davis. Just nothing."
Davis knew something was wrong but he didn't have a right to go barging in TK's mind so he let him be.
After about 3 hours of struggling out of the forest, and getting into a few battles with a few Maramons and Snimons earlier that day, they made their way out of the forest and saw Infinity Mountain in front of them. Meanwhile Izzy was determining with his laptop computer where the location of the digieggs were.
"It seems that the location of the crests and the golden digieggs are inside Infinity Mountain."
Willis was excited to hear this. He has been on many cavern trips in Kentucky state so he had an interest in exploring caves. "Well what are we waiting for. Lets Go!!!"
With that, they started on their way towards Infinity Mountain.

End of Chapter 6
What secrets lay in the caverns of Infinity Mountain. Will they find the two digieggs like Izzy said? Will the other be able to reunite with their long lost crest? Then will they be able to get back to earth in time to save it? All of this an more on the next chapter 7....................
