Well, contrary to what it may seem I have not dropped off the face of this earth, nor have I forgotten about this story. This is the final chapter, excluding the epilogue, which will follow shortly. Finally, with winter break and college apps done I can finish. I you hate fluff, be warned, this will give you cavities quicker than you can say Kenyako. PLEASE REVIEW. I LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK. Yes, I'm talking to you, (Insert name here)!
Disclaimer: If I had a nickel for every time someone though that I owned Digimon, well, I guess I be pretty much where I am now. I don't own Digimon, just the crazy things I make the characters do.
1ST UNDERSTANDING last time...
"Ken we need to know what happened. I'm sorry. I understand that it is bad. But we need to know."
"Understand?" Ken whimpered; it sounded a little like a plea.
First Understanding Chapter 7: The Awakening
"Please Ken"
Ken looked away. "I ... she ...we talked earlier today. I wanted her to talk to me. I didn't know why she wasn't better." He sounded young as he relieved that afternoon and felt as though someone was wringing out his heart. "I didn't believe that she was better and she got mad. I got mad." He was ashamed, fighting with the love of his life while her sanity hung in the balance. "She told me that no one needed her I said I did but I couldn't say it was because I... She said we couldn't be friends she left I called once and she didn't answer so I went home." He said the last part with and emotionless face a dead voice. "she called me, sounded urgent, said come over and I did but she had done it again, overdosed." He felt tears and closed his eyes and heard the mocking boy in his head Ken screamed in his head, the voice laughed ken was knocked out of his inner turmoil by Davis Motomiya, or rather, his fist.
"Idiot." Davis snarled as he strained against Matt and Tai, strained to attack Ken. "You fought with her, let her go away mad. What is wrong with you. I though you loved her."
Ken felt a fire of anger, "I do love her Davis! More than I can say. She got mad at me. She hurt me. I can't change what happened. I wish I could but I can't. What do you want from me?"
Davis froze then relaxed and stared at his best friend. He motioned to Tai and Matt that he was okay and the Davis and Ken were left alone. Davis gave a sheepish, teary, half smile and hugged Ken.
"I'm sorry Ken. I just care about her too. I love her too. And when I think of her in pain, I guess I just kind of lose it.
Ken stared. " You mean that" he stared in guilty disbelief.
"Davis, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
Hey no problem man. You'll make her happy. And if you don't I'll just kill you." he laughed. "Really Ken, it's okay."
"Excuse me children?" the digidestined looked up from the various spots where they were sprawled in the hospital waiting room. The nurse was kind and they were able to forgive her the semi-patronizing voice with which she spoke.
"Your little friend hurt herself quite a bit but luckily the little lady should be okay, after a short hospital stay, that is." She paused and smiled at the brightening faces around her. "We have called the girl's parents and they will arrive as soon as possible, but, as they are quite far away it may be as many as three days. Therefore, taking into concern that Miss Inoue has expressed the desire to not be left alone, we would like to request that at least one of you remain with her at all times." she smiled encouragingly at the faces and added her last words to them, " you may visit her now." 11 bodies leapt up and ran to the nurse.
"YOLIE!" it was five voices of undiluted bliss. She looked up at them surprised, gave a small smile the a shiver passed through her body and she sobbed.
"Oh my friends. I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, never! I love you all so much I am so sorry. And...and I don't want to die anymore. I am so sorry!" she was cut off by a feeling of intense affection as she was embraced by all her friends at once.
Kari spoke for the group and with tears in her eyes smiled at Yolie. We are sorry too Yolie. But know more sorrys just, please, get better.
They stayed late into the night and spoke to her. she felt something in her loosening, and she cried, so much. But the tears were good. They were tears that made her feel lighter, calmer, freer, as if she was becoming the go-gettum girl of her destined days. She had the same destiny of all of them, to have their friendship and to take what came, just like the rest of the non-digidestined world. It was not until the next morning that most of her friends, promising to come back soon, set out for home. Soon only Davis and Ken remained. Davis approached her bed, "Yolie, please, never scare me like that again, I..." he gave her a half grin, "I couldn't handle you dying." He leaned over and kissed the side of her mouth. Her eyes went wide but then her face softened and she spoke kindly (for once!) to him, "Don't worry about me Davis, but thank you for caring." He nodded to her, gave the rather red faced Ken and odd look and left.
He looked at her and she looked away.
"So Ken I..."
"Yolie I'm sorry."
"No Ken, I'm sorry, I treated you badly. I blamed you for my pain, I am very sorry Ken." Tears crept slowly down her face and he handed her a tissue silently.
"Yolie, did you mean it?"
She sniffed but seemed to recover. "Mean what Ken?"
"What you said to me" realization came to her face and she blushed and gave a hollow laugh.
"Some Ken."
His heart stopped and he spoke quickly. "Well, I could call someone else to stay with you, if you still want company, I could leave."
"Please don't"
"You want me to stay?"
Of course I do baka! I wouldn't have said I did if I didn't, duh!" she looked embarrassed by her once characteristic display of anger. Her face reddened and she broke heir eye contact. She spoke in a small voice that he hated, "You can go if you want."
Ken was possessed by something bold, perhaps it was seeing that glimpse of the old her and he strode over to her and grasped her shoulder and looked into her eyes again. "I meant some of what I said too Yolie. I don't want to leave." He examined her confused face. "Do you really not see?" he gave a bitter laugh, "Maybe I am a baka. Why should you. I practically told you the opposite. I..." but Yolie was recovering and that meant that her tempered was light by this seemingly incoherent blabbering.
"Hello Ken! What the hell are you talking about! Ken talk to me you idiot boy genius. Are we friends or not." She blushed again but smiled as he turned and looked at her, amazed and smiling, in a way still uncommon for him.
"Well yes and no Yolie." He looked at the ground, then shook himself and looked straight at her.
"When I said I needed you I didn't lie, but, I don't need you just because we're friends Yolie. I need you because you cared about me but weren't afraid to smack some sense into me. I need you because you more then any other were the opposite of the Digimon Emperor. You were so open, so free. I couldn't understand any thing about you. I remember the first day I understood something about you, really understood. I saw you laughing and crying, and dancing around nearly strangling Cody after you got into the high school you wanted. And I understood, you were so happy to have your life, and so happy to have him. I can't believe now that I didn't see the change occur, when your life left you, but I still have so much I understand." She looked confused. "That time I understood how much passion you had in everything, for something as simple as doing well enough on a test to make you feel so much, the first time I understood you Yolie, that was the first time I understood that I did not only wish to be your friend. I didn't fall in love with you at first sight Yolie Inoue, I fell in love with you at first understanding. And Yolie I will do everything I can to make you better, to make you back into the insane creature that I first fell in love with, though I do love you the way you are today as well." He had somehow turned his eyes away from her to his black shoes, one had a scuff, he felt exposed and foolish. He heard a giggle. Was she laughing at him?
"Ken you baka, I can't believe you'd settle for me when you could be such a ladies man." She giggled again. "Honestly, how could I ever top that?" she smiled a full smile and his heart almost burst, rejected or not, he felt that smile was worth it.
"Ken, you should know that I love you, but being the idiot to emotions that you are I'll say it. Ken, I love you. I have for so long and I think, that I always will. Ken can you promise to never hurt me?" she looked at his open mouth elated face and nodding and she laughed, and it felt good and free. Yes, he was right, she wanted to be the loud, rude, and happy Yolie again too.
"Really?" he looked slightly doubtful still, amazed, and had a concealed joy in his eyes.
"Well then, Ken, would you mind giving me a kiss?"
He bent over her and Yolie thought that it seemed like a very romantic movie, ending, the kind of movie she always hated, The kiss was short and sweet and mind blowing. She looked up at him. They smiled
"So you understand Ken?"
THE END
BUT the epilogue is soon to come! I can't ignore the wise words of Miss Miyako (Yolie) Inoue. How will it turn out?
