Elf_fox - I'm back!

Naven - Oh joys of joys.

Elf_fox (Glares at Naven) - Let me introduce you to my new muse, soon to be exmuse if he keeps that up, Naven Bloodfox. You can thank him for getting me to finish this story.

Naven - Didn't you have Xellos as your muse for all of a day before me?

Elf_fox - Ya, but he made the mistake of touching my sugar stash.

Naven (shiver of pure terror) - Trust me after what I saw you do to him I won't make the same mistake.

Elf_fox (evil smirk) - Good. Gotta love pure gundanium mallets. Well any way I don't own Digimon.

Naven - And if she did Hikari would have been eaten by the Deltamon.

Elf_fox - No offence but I just don't like her.

Naven - Are you going start the fic yet or are you going to continue stalling?

Elf_fox - I don't want to hurt you but I will any way.

Naven - Eeep.



1 Storms Passing



[Ken vision]

It had been a few months since he had cornered his Suke-chan and the storm that had given him the opportunity to show his love his feelings had finally passed, but now a new storm had come to replace it, doing its best to out do the last one and Ken was enjoying every last minuet of it.

Ken was standing in front of the only window in his room and it was wide open letting the rainfall on his unprotected face, letting its sweat clean taste run across his tongue, tasting almost as good as his lover's kisses. The smell of the rain reminded him of the sweat unique sent of his Dai- chan. The bluenette was wearing just his normal blue jump suit; the cape, armor, and shades were elsewhere. His room was dark except for the light cast from one lone candle that flickered in the cold, rain scented breeze the open window let in. He had been using candles more and more often simply because the flame reminded him of his love.

He left the window with a happy sigh, did a slight twirl in the middle of the room and then threw himself onto the bed and looked up at the ceiling. The Kaizer snuggled contentedly into the black velvet comforter as the bed molded itself to his form. His head was swimming with thoughts of another who might be soon joining him in this bed. The one who held his heart.

Was it the smell of the rain that made him feel so giddy inside, the fact that he was in love and it was returned, or maybe it was because Daisuke had promised him an answer by Friday and it was Thursday afternoon; maybe it was all three combined. Who knew?

Ken sat up and smiled warmly at Wormmon as he entered his room after a soft knock. Wormmon smiled shyly back and crawled up to sit beside Ken on the bed.

"Hello Wormmon how are you on this first day of spring?"

Wormmon's smile grew; he really had to thank the boy Daisuke. Two weeks after the boy punched TK he had gotten his first tour of the fortress. When they had reached the control room Wormmon had made the mistake of calling Ken by his name and had gotten kicked for it, Wormmon was used to it but Daisuke had been horrified and pushed a very surprised Kaizer into his throne and read him an impressive lecture on how you properly raise a digimon. The young genius never like to be talked to like he was stupid but he had listened and had been shocked and embarrassed to find out that it was his own fault that his digimon was so weak and had immediately tried to make for it (most likely to stop Daisuke from being angry at him).

"I'm fine Ken. I just came up here to tell you the Buildermon are here."

Ken jumped up from the bed with one graceful movement that would send any fan-girl into fits (Elf_fox - I know you are out there. I'm one of them.) with a happy smile firmly in place. He had been remodeling his fort to make his Daisuke happier in his home.

"Finally, bring them in," as odd assortment of different types ringed digimon filed in and Ken handed the leader a piece of paper "These are the alterations I want done to my fort and one more thing I want that is not on that paper is that two more windows are to be placed in my room; one opposite that one and another, smaller, one over the head of my bed. Do you understand?"

"Yes master." The digimon left and Wormmon looked up at Ken.

"Are you sure that Daisuke will want to stay here with us?" he asked

Ken smiled dreamily into space.

"No, I'm not sure. But it is the most likely choice."

"Why?"

"You see, a few days after Dai-chan hit Takeru, the other digidestined started to ignore him again, and also he has seen with his own eyes TK and Hikari making out," Ken's voice trailed off as he replayed that memory in mind.

Daisuke had run up to him and strait into his arms with tears in his eyes. It had taken Ken a few minuets to understand what had happened, but when he did he felt a cold fury enter his soul. Yes Dai-chan had known they were a couple, but it is one thing to hear it from your greatest enemy/lover and another to see it with your own eyes. Ken hadn't been angry at Dai's reaction but at what Hikari had done after Dai saw them, which was the whole reason he was crying it turned out; she had teased him callously about how he could never be worthy of her. Ken's first thought had been to go out and kill the two digidestined, but in the end he could not leave a crying Daisuke behind. So he had waited until Dai finished, holding him tightly in his arms; then gently dried his tears and then he slowly, gently pressed his lips to Dai's.

That had been their first kiss. It had been unbelievably sweat and warm and Ken had felt the impenetrable ice fortress that guarded and held prisoner his heart and soul break apart and melt in the wake of Daisuke's fire. He lost himself in the memory of the cinnamon and chocolate flavor of Daisuke's mouth and, when he deepened the kiss, the velvety feel of a tongue dueling with his. Now Daisuke's mouth was a sweat nectar that he could not live without, he was thoroughly addicted and couldn't care in the slightest.

"Ken?" Wormmon's voice snapped him from his memories.

"Sorry. Also Dai made me recently swear to never ring or spiral Veemon. The signs are there and also the only reason he has yet to run away from his home is because he won't leave Jun alone with parent who could care less if they lived or died. Though the only way I will find the right answer is to wait for tomorrow."

"I guess."

Ken lay back onto the bed with a sigh.

"Tomorrow can not come soon enough for me."



[Dai vision]

{Same day, real world}

Naven - Reality sucks!

Elf_fox - To true now SHUSH!



Daisuke walked into his room. In one hand he held a tray of food and in the other he held a book.

"Chibimon, I bring you sustenance."

"Yay!!" Chibimon yelled hopping out of his hiding place under Daisuke's bed.

Daisuke set the tray down on the bed and then sat next to it and started to stare of into space.

"What's wrong Daisuke?"

"Huh? What? Oh Chibimon. Sorry my mind is elsewhere."

"Thinking about the answer you are going to give him?"

"Yah. You know I never got your opinion on the subject. What do you think about me wanting to stay with him?"

"I think you should do it."

"What? I thought you of all people wouldn't want me to join Ken's side. Is this because you have a crush on Wormmon?"

Chibimon blushed.

"No. well not all the way. The other destined don't treat you very well and are often quite cruel to you, I've heard the other destined's Digimon talk about what they call you when you aren't around, Ken promised you that he wouldn't ring me and I doubt he will break a promise to you because he cries your name in his sleep," said Chibimon in one breath.

"He what?!"

"Cries your name in his sleep. Wormmon told me he does. Anyway Ken is also very nice to you and you probably can make Ken nicer to his digimon slaves and maybe stop him from taking over the digital world."

Daisuke snorted with disbelief.

"I doubt that Chibi." Daisuke replied still blushing from the last remark "He told me last week that he loves taking over the Digiworld almost as much as he loves me, and that he could not give up either."

"Was that before or after you told him you would like him as a nude model for your pictures?"

Daisuke blush deepened to a nice crimson.

"After."

Chibimon smiled.

"I think you should go to him. He will be able to keep you out of trouble, and if he can't no one can."

Daisuke frowned in mock anger and started to tickle Chibimon.

"Thanks Chibi."

Chibimon's answer was lost in a fit of over hyper giggles.



[Ken vision]

{Next Day}

Naven - You do know that it would be much easier to write this if you removed your cat from the keyboard.

Elf_fox - But he looks so cute when he sleeps there.

Naven - .Oh boy. I feel soooo sorry for Vain, your Beta Reader. (WHACK) Ouch!! *!@#@^%&%^&**!!!!!!!

Elf_fox (hiding mallet behind back looks at the reader innocently) - Go back to the story, nothing to see here.



"Finally its Friday!! I thought it would never come and he is here too. I don't care what the other destined do, I am going out there and getting my answer. Wormmon get an Airdramon ready!"

Ken was beyond happy and felt very much like dancing in the middle of the control room.

"I can't do that Ken." Said Wormmon quietly

"What? You are disobeying me?" Ken's hand twitched toward his whip.

"Only because Daisuke told me to." Said Wormmon hurriedly. Ken was nicer, but sometimes he forgot and hit him.

Out of the genius's grand vocabulary he could only think of one thing to say to that.

"Huh?"

"He e-mailed me earlier and said that you would have to wait till the other digidestined leave the Digiworld to see him or you won't get your answer."

Ken flopped into his chair with a loud groan of frustration.

"Did he say why?"

"Something about pay back for making him get on his knees and beg."

Elf_fox - Referring to the Episode Ken's Secret, the most Kensukeish episode ever.

Naven - And one episode you have not seen.

Elf_fox (Grumbling) - Don't remind me.

"Sigh. Nothing I can do about it I guess. Lets watch them shall we?"

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

Ken was torn between watching Daisuke and daydreaming about him. The digidestined where at the moment fighting one of his ringed Squidmon (Look like squids with legs) near a cliff that was overlooking a forest. It was very interesting to watch the attacks the Squidmon aimed at the destined and their digimon while the redhead was never even touched and Flamedramon only got gentle taps from one of the many tentacles. More like a mother punishing a naughty child then a fight.

A ball of energy barely missed Daisuke, and Ken glared at the newest digidestined. It was a girl who wrongly believed that she should be the leader and had hated his love from the start. Her sad excuse for a digimon was an Apemon and it was highly untrained and its attacks went mostly anywhere but where it was wanted. He believed her name was Dawn, but wasn't sure. (Elf_fox - If your name is Dawn I am sorry)

Ken felt horror fill him for a second as a second attack went in Dai's direction and he didn't see it. The Squidmon did how ever and knocked Daisuke out of the way closer to the edge of the cliff, but still a safe distance away, the attack hit the ground with a loud bang. Was it his imagination or did the girl look upset that the attack missed. No, the destined didn't think that way; it was just his mind playing tricks.

Ken closed his eyes and started to let the fear he had felt out when he heard Daisuke's sweat voice cry out in shock then terror. The bluenett's eyes snapped open and became glued to the main screen. The blast from the Apemon had weakened the cliff and it collapsed, right under Daisuke and Flamedramon's feet! Ken's eyes went wide frozen in fear as he watched his love start to fall.

"DAISSSSUUUUUKE!!!!!"

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

[You'll see vision]

Wormmon was out side the base alternating between overseeing the buildermon's work and daydreaming about Veemon when.

"DAISSSSUUUUUKE!!!!!"

Suddenly an unknown power was flooding him leaving no nook or cranny unfilled.

"Wormmon digivolve to. Stingmon!"

He didn't understand how he knew but he did and without waiting for any orders was heading as fast as his wings to could carry him to where Daisuke and Veemon had started a long decent to down.

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

[Ken vision]

Ken ran out of his base as fast as he could.

"Wormmon! Wormmon! Where is he?"

A near by ringed Mon replied "He digivolved and flew away."

The boy genius froze momentarily bewildered.

"He digivolved? How?"

"We can discuss that later Ken-chan, but first make sure that Daisuke and Veemon are alright."

"Huh?" Ken looked up to see a large insect Digimon land with the before mentioned pair cradled in is clawed hands.

Ken's eyes where glued on the red head, only seeing how limb the other boy was in the Mon's arms. The Kaizer ran forward with a sob, fear clutching at his heart and an abyss of ice clawing at his heart. For once not caring about his image.

"Dai!" Ken took his love from the strange digimon and cradled him against his chest; tears of relief ran down his face as he felt Daisuke's heart beat strong against his own. Strange he had never realized before that their hearts beat in unison, but he could ponder about that later.

"Is Veemon alright?" the digimon asked

Ken looked over at the blue Mon still cradled in the strangers arms. "They're unconscious, dirty, and both have cuts and bruises, but I think they will both be fine." Ken looked up at the tall Mon and asked in a quiet voice "Wormmon?"

"I'm Stingmon now Ken, I digivolved."

"Ah. Well Stingmon, lets get these two inside and look to their wounds. I will let you take care of Veemon." Ken turned to go then stopped "You didn't happen to see the girl who caused this did you?"

"Yes. I caught these two right before they hit the ground then flew up the cliff. The Squidmon is terrified that you are angry with it by the way, the other destined didn't see me and where looking for them, and that," Stingmon's voice turned very angry " girl was smiling and laughing."

Ken's eyes narrowed dangerously. Carefully balancing Dai, he reached for his black Digivice and pressed a button.

"Squidmon. I will not punish you if you delete that girl and her Mon. Do you understand?" Ken's voice was colder the any glacier in either world.

"Yes master." Came the faint voice.

Ken then walked into the base with Stingmon right behind him.

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

[Dai vision]

The last thing he could remember was the ground giving way beneath his feet then his head hit something hard. As he slowly became aware of his surroundings he felt someone's fingers running through his hair, all he could think about was how soothing it felt and started to drift back to sleep. Memory hit like a brick wall and he sat up eyes wide open.

"Veemon!"

Strong arms pushed him back into the soft bed where he had been sleeping. Bed??? But I was falling off a cliff.

"Suke-chan! I was so worried." Daisuke only got a quick look at the worried boy that was sitting beside him before a pair of soft, silky lips where claiming his as their own. "Mmmph! Ken?"

Ken pulled back enough to look at Daisuke in the eye but still keeping skin- to-skin contact. "Yes love?"

"What happened? How did I get here?"

Ken sat up and straddled Daisuke's hips.

"That stupid girl made her digimon attack you, it missed but weakened the cliff so it collapsed. Wormmon some how digivolved and became Stingmon who was able to fly fast enough to catch you before you hit the ground." Ken kissed Daisuke again and he didn't complain.

"Is Veemon alright? How long have I been unconscious?" gasped Dai when they separated for life giving air

"Yes. He's with Wormmon right now. You've been out for the rest of the afternoon, its night now." Ken paused his voice became soft and hesitant "Dai, what is you answer?"

The redhead smiled warmly "My answer?" he chuckled softly "Its yes."

Ken's face lit up with a smile that angles could only wish for. "Yes? Finally," Ken kissed the boy of his dreams again "you are mine! None can take you from me. But what made you decide to stay with me, what about your sister?"

"She's going to live in America with some of our grandparents. That's what made me choose to stay."

Ken smiled softly and started to kiss him softly, then more and more hungrily and started to let his hands wander of the soft smooth skin of the boy who withered happily under him. Both happily consenting to becoming one.

The moon finally had the brightest star the sky could give it. Out side the still open window the wind stopped its anguished howling, the stars stopped their tears of fear in wonder of the true love that was found, and the clouds parted to allow the moon to watch with it never blinking eye and so it would remember forever this storm of the heart.
