Yolei winced as the whip tore through the tender flesh of her arm. She bite her touge though to keep in the cry of pain that lifted heavely in her throat. She bravely held back the tears that glazed in her eyes. Never would she give him the pleasure of seeing them. Never. So she merely stood their. Calmly. Though inseide her emotions where like a hurricane hurling through her. One was anger. The outher pain. The next hate. The next fear, and round and round they went. Each fighting for control. Despite the chatic emotions withen she merely stood their. Her crimson brown eyes flashing defiece.

He slashed out agine, only to have his whip caught in Yolei's hand,"Don't even think of doing that agine."she grounded out.

He glared at her and jerked the whip from her hand."I highly suggest that you don't speak in such a manner to your superour, girl."He tilted his head,"You look very fammiler, though i've not seen you with that pathtic band of Digifools before. What is your name?"

Yolei cocked an eyebrow and crossed her arms,"You have not the privlege to know my name."

He hardened his gaze,"I am the Digimon Emperour you are to reply emeditly."

Yolei held her head high,"No. Your just a boy. A boy playing what he thinks is a game."She steped toward him,"A boy that is playing make-belive in a place that is as real as you and I."Ken steeled himself, refuseing to step backward." A boy who thinks he is superour to the entire human race when in truth he is not."Yolei's voice grew in strength and determination as she spoke,"You may be 'Digimon Emperour',"she spat the tittle as though it where a curse,"In this little game of yours, but I am a human being and you've no power over me."she said the setance slowly, dangerously. By this time she toe-to-toe with him. Her nose nearly touching his.

The Kaizer was both angered and suprised by her comment. He hardened his gaze on her. Finnly he opened his mouth and spoke, his voice low and cold,"Its not a game, and their not real. And I happen to have a great deal of power over you."

In a quick motion he grabed her wrists with one hand and kissed her hard his outher hand on the base of her neck. Disgusted by his actions Yolei tried to move away, failing in her attempt. After a momment or two he allowd her to push him away.

Angrly Yolei let her hand fly through the air, ready to let him have it. He caught it less then an inch away from his face and kissed it lightly, a disturbing smile playing on his face. She pulled it back from him, as though she was burned.

"Fairwell, love."Ken said mockingly as he turned and walked from her cell, locking it behind him.

Yolei ran up to the bars, her crimson golden brown eyes wide in anger,"Don't call me that! You've no right!"

He smirked,"Ah, but I have every right. Farewell....lover."he said as he turned and left.

Yolei turned bright red,"Don't call me that etheir!"she yelled after him, Ken merly ignored her.

Once he was gone Yolei slamed her hand angrly agest the metel bars, rewarding herself with a pulsating pain through out her hand. She stared at her red hand for a momment, muttering curses as she looked back up at the hallway that Ken had gone down.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Digimon Emperour, Ken Ichijouji sat silently in the control room. His amthirst eyes narrowed in thought. That girl, where had he seen her before. She was so fammiler, yet he didn't recall ever seeing the likes of her with the outher Digidestened.

He would have deffently noticed her, her lavender hair would ave given her away emideatly. If not with the Digidestended then where? Back when he was in the real world? But if that where so she wouldn't have known about his...outher identey. He glanced up at his moniters, his eyes finnly landing on a boy with short blound hair and icy blue eyes. Matt Ishida. If he was with the girl, he had to know something about her.

Flashing his trade mark smirk he toke off down the corridor, toward Matt's cell. Toward answers.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Matt leaned silently ages the cold wall of his cell. His face holding no expression of anykind, even his eyes where cold and empty looking; devoided of any emotion. His thoughts dwelled upon a certine lavender haired girl with golden crimson brown eyes.

He was worried about her, that much he would admitt to himself. He refused to even consider the fact that he might consider her to be a little more then a friend.

"Enjoying yourself behind bars?"a mocking voice peirced the air.

Slowly Matt looked up, his gaze bored. Slowly he stood up and leaned agenst the wall. His eyes survaving to the young tirent,"What do you want, Ken?"

Ken's body tensed visbly,"Stop calling me that! My name is the Digimon Emperour!"

Matt raised an eyebrow,"Your right. The real Ken died years ago, leaveing only a husk of a cold heartless feind behind. Call yourself what you wish, but you will always be just Ken Ichijouji. Whether you like it or not."

Ken sneered,"I am not 'just' anything. I am the only perfect human being. You are aren't even worthy of spit cleaning my shoes. Your lucky I even grace you with my presence."

Matt chuckled,"You've never graced my presence, or anyone eles for that matter."

Ken narrowed his eyes, his hands clinching on his whip,"It would be in your best interests to show respect to me, boy."

Matt tilted his head,"Why would that be? Becouse you'll kill me?"he snorted,"I'd like to see you try. Or would you have one of your 'slaves' do it for you, since your such a coward after all."

Ken's face distorted in anger, then just as quickly sliped into smugness,"Belive what you will, boy, but I won't be harming you nearly as much as that Digimon of yours or that girl with lavender hair...."

Matt's eyes widened,"Gabumon.....Yolei..."he murmered their names, far too low for Ken to hear though, before retureing his gaze to the Digimon Emperour. Matt's eyes where full of anger and hate as his eyes bore into Kens. Blue liqueid fire raged in their depths,"You better not do anything to harm them!"

Ken grinned slightly,"We will see. If you want them to be alright, you better start answering my questions."

Matt narrowed his eyes in anger. What could he do? Yolei...Gabumon if he didn't answer Ken's questions...god knows what would happen to them! His teeth clinched he said,"What do you want to know?"

Ken grinned,"For starters, who is that lavender haired girl? I've not seen her with your pitful little band of Digidestened before."

Matt winced inwardly at the insult. He bitt back a retort, remindeing himself why he was doing this,"You should know who she is. You boast about killing her at our every battle. We fought you also to avenge her."

Ken furrowed his brow in suprise,"Yolei? Yolei Inoue? Thats her?!"

Matt gave him a 'duh look."Of course. Though, she is not dead, why did you say she was dead."

Ken smirked slightly, regaining his composer,"I don't have to answer your questions, slave, You answer mine."

Matt's eyes flared up,"I am noones slave, esspecialy not yours!"

Ken's lips parted into something that would have been a smile, but it held no laughter no love,"You are really pitiful. Well, I must be going. I should pay Yolei-chan a little visit."

With that he turned and left, not tarrying the Digidestened of Friendship a respose nor a secoud glance.
