Disclaimer: Digimon is not mine, I'm not making any money off this.
(A/N: Thanks to all those who reviewed. I will try and keep this coming often, and not make you wait long for chapters. But I want it to be good, and so if I feel I need to hold it back before putting it up, I will. Also I'm very busy at Theater school and so only get to write at night (although I make notes during the day), so I'm sorry for any mess-ups. Also, the format that goes up on FF bugs me and I was wondering how to change it. If I mess any of that stuff up too, let me know and please tell me how to fix it, I'm very new at this.)
"Revenge"
'Confusion'
Cody held his breath and slowly turned on his heel to look behind him. He knew that snicker, it made his stomach sink and the tiny hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Spotting the figure now standing in front of him, he seethed, "You!"
The figure cocked it's head, "Me."
"I knew it was you. They wouldn't believe me. But I always knew that one day…"
"One day I would change back?" The indigo haired boy stepped out of the shadows, a cruel grin on his face, his eyes cold and small.
Cody swallowed, "Yes."
"Hmm, well I should do something about that, shouldn't I, before you go running around telling everyone that I tried to kill Yolei." Ken took each menacing step towards the boy with a look of pleasure on his twisted face. He placed a hand behind his back and produced a long, silver dagger. The streetlight glinted off the blade and cast an eerie shadow on the taller boys' face.
Cody found himself unable to move, though his mind was screaming for him to do so, his body refused to listen. And before he could open his mouth to scream, Cody felt the sharp, stinging pain of the silver penetrating his soft flesh. Ken was close to him, placing his free hand behind Cody's back. Just as quickly as he had pushed the dagger in Cody's gut, he pulled it out, letting the wound bleed freely. Without Ken's support, Cody fell to the ground, consciousness leaving him fast, the last thing he noted was the retreating form of Ken, holding what looked like a phone to his ear.
~~~~****~~~~
Ken held his arms as he walked down the cold street. He wished Wormmon were with him, but knowing that he had left him in the digital world for the day, and knowing that he couldn't get into the digital world, thinking about Wormmon only made him feel worse.
Self-consciously, he would keep checking behind him and all around him. Whenever a car would drive by, he would look down, and hope that the person in the vehicle didn't recognize him. He was tired, and had been walking for almost an hour, since he had left the hospital. He had made a quick stop home before hand and picked up a few things, like the black beanie and dark clothes, as well as some money. He was so thankful that his parents were heavy sleepers and had not heard him enter their home, although his mother did make a few moans and cries during the time he was there. She had obviously seen a report on the events of tonight, and Ken felt a twang of guilt for what he was doing. Running away again. But he had no choice. He had to find out who hurt Yolei. And he knew that Davis would help him…he hoped.
When he reached Davis' apartment building, he looked up with tired eyes and headed towards the elevator and pushed the button for Davis' floor. When he reached the door, however, he realized that it was very late, or very early, whichever way you look at it, and if he just knocked on the door, he would most probably wake up his parents and that would not be good. Ken sighed heavily and rested his back against the door, sliding down it and sitting on the cold floor. He pulled his D-terminal out of his sling-over bag and began typing a message to Davis, then waited for Davis to receive the e-mail that told him he was outside his door and needed help. He leaned back and rested his head against the door, only to fall backwards on to the floor when Davis thrust the door open. Davis stared down at him and blinked before silently helping him to his feet and leading him to his room.
Once in the room, Davis shut the door behind him and regarded Ken, "Ken! Dude, what is going on, what happened?"
Ken sat down on Davis' bed and pulled off the beanie, letting his hair fall into it's usual position, before putting his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands. "I don't know."
"Yolei is in the hospital and…"
"I know. I was there…"
"You were there? Ken, what the hell is going on?"
Ken ran his fingers through his hair and looked up at Davis. He explained about the e-mail and how the gate wouldn't open, and that Yolei had discovered that the only gate that would open was the one at the school, and how the guard thought he saw Ken hit Yolei with a blunt object. How he had cowardly climbed out the window, and how he needed help.
"You can stay here. I'll hide you in my room. Ken, I know it wasn't you, I never…"
"I know, I was in the bathroom at the hospital waiting for you to leave." He rubbed his eyes, "Davis, we have to find out who is did this, who would want to…"
The sound of Davis' D-terminal beeping interrupted Ken and his gaze moved over to the white computer. Davis picked it up and read the message aloud.
'Davis,
You have to get back to the hospital. Cody was stabbed and he knows who did it. He's awake now. Hurry.
TK'
Ken frowned, "Cody was stabbed? But who would…?"
Davis shook his head, "I don't know, but I better get over there. I'll leave a note for my parents. You want to come Ken, or, no, sorry stupid question."
"Is it alright if I stayed here? I really need some sleep."
"Sure, make yourself comfortable, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Ken nodded and lay down as his friend left the room. It felt so good to close his eyes.
~~~~****~~~~
"Are you sure Cody?" Kari asked for the third time.
"Yes! It was him. He looked me straight in the eye and stabbed me!" Cody winced as his little outburst caused the wound in his right side a twang of pain.
"You told the police that?" TK asked.
Cody looked down and nodded.
"Told the police what?" Davis burst through the door and glowered at Cody.
"It was him Davis, Ken stabbed me."
Davis narrowed his eyes. "How do you know?"
Cody blinked at the goggle boy in disbelief, "I saw him Davis, he spoke to me. He did it."
Davis pondered this for a few minutes and thought it best that he didn't say anything about Ken contacting him, let alone tell them that he is sleeping on his bed. "So now the police are after him?"
"The detective left a few minutes ago." TK sighed, "Ken's pretty much wanted for attempted murder."
Davis closed his eyes and frowned. Ken was only a kid and already so many horrible things had happened to him. His brother was horrible to him at times, his parents took no notice of him, his brother died, he became the Emperor, he was used for the dark spore in him, and now this.
He glanced at his watch, "We should get going, we have school tomorrow." His tone was blank and his expression was tired. Kari regarded him and quietly followed him after he left the room.
"Davis, I know that you don't think it was him, but…"
"Kari, he has been through so much, there is no way it was him. I won't believe it."
"Have you seen him recently?"
Davis choked at the question, "Ah, no, why would, when would I have…"
"Davis, I know something funny is going on here, and I don't think Ken did it either." Kari glanced at the clock in the hall, "Look we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?"
Davis stared at her, and then nodded.
~~~~****~~~~
Ken turned over in his sleep and moaned. A cool sweat had formed on his brow and a nightmare plagued him. He was having a vision of Yolei in the computer room, and he saw her being struck with what looked like a brick. The vision faded and a scene of a dark street took its place. Cody's form was visible from a streetlight overhead. And another figure was there, one who looked like…like him! He was caring a sharp, twisted dagger, and a nasty, sadistic smile was on his face. He watched himself plunge the dagger into Cody's right side and pull it out again, leaving him to drop to the floor. Ken woke and sat bolt up right, panting and shaking.
He raced over to where Davis had hidden his shoes (in the bottom of his cupboard), and pulled them out, starting at the soles. His body shook more violently as silent sobs took over him and he dropped the shoes and gripped his head, rocking back and forth, muttering, "What have I done?"
Davis walked in and quickly closed the door behind him and rushed over to his convulsing friend, "Ken? Ken! What's wrong?"
Ken looked up at him; tears had stained his cheeks and pointed to his shoes, his hand very unsteady.
Davis picked up one of the shoes and studied it, there was a red-brown stain coating the rubber of the sole. He frowned, "Ken what is that?"
Ken choked, "B-blood, Cody's blood."

Nic: Okay that was a short chapter, but I had to end it there, it will get more exciting later (next chapter).
Ken: What the hell!? I am a murderer.
Nic: *looks around innocently and whistles*
Wormmon: But how is that possible? If Ken was in the Digital world when Yolei was hit, how, what…I'm confused.
Kaiser: That explains the title of this chapter then.
Nic: Yup it does. Trust me, this story is very twisted (by that I mean it has a few twists).
Osamu: *reading Nics' Authors notes* Jeez tell me about it.
Nic: Damn it! How did you get into my safe and steel my notes?
Osamu: *shrugs* I'm a genius?
Ken: I helped.
Nic: Ken-chan! Why would you betray me? *Mock horror*
Ken: Because I want to know what the hell is going on here!
