An Undying Love

"You know Sam?" Catherine asked. Ken slowly nodded.

"Ya. Why?" he asked. Everyone looked around. Like they weren't sure if they should say something. The room was even more serious than before they told him about Diana.

"This is a chance" Gus replied. Ken looked around unsure whether to believe what he was hearing. His brother died. Diana disappeared along with these kids.

"What?" he asked. Ken's violet eyes narrowed. Before anyone could respond, someone walked up behind Ken. It tapped his shoulder. Ken whirled around and saw a young Gennai standing before him.

"I can answer that question" he said. Ken looked around the room and saw each teenager gave him their undivided attention. He turned back to Gennai and also did so.

"What about Sam?" Ken whispered. Gennai put on an extremely serious expression. He looked over to the orb. A white mist was swirling inside it.

As it cleared up, he saw his brother. His short black hair and his face looked the same. Just as it looked the day he died. He stood in the park. Children sliding down the new metal slide, swinging on the swings, and running in the field reflected in his eyes. Each of them had a friend to be with, except for him.

"Sam, why don't you go off and play?" his mother yelled.

"I will," he yelled back. Sam looked sadly around. Even Ken had a small group of friends. Sam walked over to some kids around his age.

"Hi" he said. They looked at him.

"Hey, your that boy genius" one of them said. Sam nodded. They started asking him if they could have autographs, if he knew the answer to some equations and some stuff among those subjects. Just then, everyone around him froze. Literally, froze. Children around him stopped moving; stopped breathing. The sky above him darkened and a figure appeared before him.

"Hello" it greeted.

"I'm not going. For the last time, I'm not going" Sam yelled. The figure before him took off its hood and reveled an old Gennai. This must have been before the original digidestined went into the digiworld.

"You have to" he said.

"I won't. I'll never go with you," he yelled. Sam ran away and into the trees. They were so packed together; even Sam had a hard time getting around. He looked up into a nearby pine tree and started climbing. Sticky sap stuck to his hands, making it harder to climb. He finally reached the top and watched as Gennai searched for him below. The bald man finally gave up and walked into a swirling vortex that had appeared.

The sun appeared from behind the clouds and the people around him started moving again. Sam looked suspiciously around and started climbing down the majestic pine. He reached the bottom and watched his little brother run into the street chasing a ball.

"Ken" he whispered. Then a car came rushing down the hill. And no matter how fast it stopped; it was going to hit Ken. "Ken" Sam screamed running out. His brother froze in the middle of the street and stared at the car. He was paralyzed to the spot. Sam's tennis shoes pounded on the sidewalk. He ran into the street and pushed against Ken. It knocked him out of the way. Ken landed on filthy ground, away from the danger.

But Sam landed right in the way. The front of the Saturn hit his side. He rolled a couple of times. He stopped face down with his arm stretched out.

Ken watched the orb in horror. He was watching the one thing he never wanted to experience again in his life. Soon, the white mist appeared.

"That didn't explain anything," Ken said turning back to Gennai. "Did you killed Sam?"

"No. I didn't" Gennai replied.

"Why did you show me this?" Ken whispered as tears fell down his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Catherine trying to fight back tears. 'Why is she crying? She didn't lose a sibling. And even if she did, she didn't have to see them be killed' he bitterly thought.

"Because, you wanted to know what happened to Sam" Gennai replied.

"Ok, that made no sense"

"Diana died one year ago. We needed a replacement. We brought Sam's spirit back. I used Diana's crest and D4. They are extremely powerful"

"Sam's here?" Ken asked. "Why did you bring me here if you had Sam?"

"Because we could only bring Sam back for a certain amount of time. It's almost up. He has a couple of hours left. We need someone to take his place"

"This is a dream" Ken muttered so nobody could hear him. "So you expect me to leave my family?" Gennai nodded as if it was nothing. "Well I'm not going to. I don't even know if this is a dream"

"You want some convincing?" Gennai asked.

"Sure" As soon as Ken answered a wall slid up. Gennai snapped his fingers. Catherine and David walked forward.

"Come on" David said. They started running down the tunnel.

~^~^~^~^~

"What are we doing here?" Ken asked as they approached a faded white beach house.

"You'll see" Catherine said. Ken could see she was trying to hide a small smile. David knocked the door. Ten seconds later a boy opened it. Ken took a step back. The boy had short black hair, he was light, and was around the age of fifteen.

"Sam?" Ken gasped in disbelief. The boy smiled.

"Hey Ken" he replied. 'Gennai said he brought back Sam's spirit. Sam is solid' Ken thought.

"We've gotta go" Catherine said. As they left, she gave Ken a little push towards Sam.

"Is it really you?" Ken asked. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. His brother; the one who died to save his life was standing right before him.

"Who else?" Sam replied. Ken didn't know what to do. He would occasionally have dreams that Sam was alive again, but this time he was alive. Now Ken was standing in front of him, feeling like an idiot because he didn't know what to do.

"Sam" he cried. Sam was taken by surprise as Ken gave him a hug. Tears soon were running down both their cheeks.

"You know we look like freaks right now don't you" Sam joked as two girls walked by and gave them weird looks. They walked away giggling. Ken and Sam pulled apart.

"I've missed you Sam" Ken said. It was the only thing he could think of.

"I've missed you to" Sam replied. They both walked into the house. Sam only had two and a half-hours left.

~^~^~^~^~

Ken and Sam sat on the sofa. The room was very clean. Compared to Catherine's house, it was spotless. Ken and Sam had been together a little over two hours. They had gone from the subject of 'I can't believe you're here' to 'Do you know what Catherine's real name is?' (Sam told Ken it was Nicole, Catherine was her middle name. She hated Nicole)

"Sam. Why did you save me?" Ken asked. This question had been pestering him ever since that day.

"Ken, as much I would hate to admit it, you were my best friend. I would do it all over again" Sam seriously replied.

"But you were a genius. Your life was worth more than mine" Sam shook his head.

"Ken, the reason I was smart was because I didn't have a lot of friends. I buried myself in my studies. You had friends. Ken, you had your whole life ahead of you. Mom and dad always thought I had the perfect life. The truth it, I hated it." Ken looked down.

"Sam?" He asked.

"Ya?"

"I need you," He said. Sam smiled through his tears.

"No you don't. Ken so many people love you. You don't need me"

"Well, it's not like I'm ever going to see them again. I have to stay here"

"Ken, don't even think that. The only reason I wasn't taken here was because I didn't want to go. For some reason, they can't keep us here when we don't want to"

"Why?"

"I have no clue" Sam shrugged. Ken looked down at his watch and jumped up.

"You only have two more minutes," He shouted. "You can't go" Sam also stood up.

"I have to. I don't have any other choice" Sam replied.

"But…" Ken whispered. Just then, Sam's hand started fading. "Sam. Please don't leave," he yelled. Tears started flowing down his cheeks.

"Remember what I told you. You don't have to stay"

"Sam. I do need you" Ken said as Sam's arm started disappearing.

"I told you Ken. No you don't. No matter how much I want it to be true" Sam replied. His voice was shaky. Tears fell from his cheeks. But they disintegrated before they hit the ground.

"I'm going to miss you Sam" Ken said. By this time, Sam's whole body was fading.

"I'm going to miss you to" Ken looked down at the floor. "Tell mom and dad I love them. I don't really think I ever said that"

"I will" Ken replied. He let out a sob.

"Good-bye Kenny boy" Sam whispered as his head dematerialized.

"Good-bye Sam. Thank you" With that, Sam was gone. In his place was air. No trace of him ever being there showed. Ken turned at the front door opened. He wiped away his tears. David and Catherine appeared.

"You don't want to stay do you?" Catherine asked.

"No. I want to go home" Ken replied.

"You can't" David replied. Catherine took a deep breath. She snatched his D4 out of his pocket and walked over to the computer. "What are you doing?!"

"Gennai is going to kill me," she said as the computer started glowing. Ken walked over to her. She turned to him and wrapped her hands around him. Ken hugged her back "Bye Ken. Good luck" she said. They let go and Ken walked up to the computer.

"Thank you" he said. Soon, the room started spinning.

~*~*~*~*~*

Ken stood in his room. The sun shined right through his windows. He walked over to the door and quickly opened it.

"Hello?" He yelled. His parents appeared at the front of the hallway.

"Ken" they yelled running towards him. The next thing he knew, Ken was being hugged harder than he ever had been before.

"Ken I was so worried" His mother cried.

"I'm so sorry. I love you" Ken whispered. This got his parents crying harder than ever. "Sam says he loves you" he whispered.

~*~*~*~*~

Crappy ending isn't it? Sorry. I'm thinking of a sequel because I want to put things I couldn't put here… but I don't know about a plot. So, it might not be written at all. I'll have to see.
