Ok, Chapter 3… not that it matters…
1 Warrior at Heart
Ken sat in his control room and watched as the digidestined entered the digital world, his eyes were focused on one being: Kari. He remembered how they would always meet at the park and she would grab his hand and led him to her group of playmates and would make him play along with them. To his surprise, he had fun. He thought he would despise it and such, but he had a great time. But right after he went to the digital world and got hit by the spore, he suddenly stopped going. It was like the spore had forced him, controlling him, forcing him to do what he didn't want to do. Ken had wanted to continue to be with Kari, the truth to be told, he felt that Kari was the light of his life.
" But things are different now!" Ken yelled, scaring Wormon.
" What things?" thought Wormon.
Wormon had remembered one time when Ken had just first got him, he had told him that he once had a friend named Kari. Ken was always talking about her and seemed to enjoy telling about her and how she was. He even remembered that they had met in the hospital.
" So where is all these good memories now?" Wormon asked him as he slipped away to sneak food to the prisoners.
Ken stood up from his chair and started pacing around in his room. He just couldn't get Kari out of his head.
" Why does she mean so much to me?" Ken asked himself as he kicked the chair over.
" Master are you alright?" asked Wormon popping in to check what the noise was.
" Leave," was the reply.
Wormon was surprised, but left quickly before Ken changed his attitude again.
" Hmm, that's strange," Wormon thought, "usually, Ken would have kicked me but he just answered with just " leave". I wonder if the memories had got into him,"
Ken, meanwhile, flipped the chair back and sat down again. He fingered the small picture on the desk. It was of him and Kari when they were about 5 or so. She was holding his arms back and he was trying to get away. For a moment Ken smiled a bit at the memory, but then he frowned when he saw his reflection off of the glass on the picture frame…
I look at the reflection in the mirror,
why can't I be the person I want to be?
The person in the mirror stares back at me,
how come I don't like what I see?
I smash the mirror into pieces,
what is it that everyone has but me?
The person in the mirror disappears,
why is it that I can't bare to look at me?
The pieces reflect my image again,
why do I turn away from me?
I throw the broken mirror out the window,
how come I am pushed around?
I watch as the pieces fall,
how come there is no one to catch me when I fall?
The pieces land in the lake,
what is it that holds everyone from harm?
They sink slowly into the rippling water,
why is it that I am sinking?
The last one disappeared under the water,
why isn't there anyone there to save me?
In the water there is a hint of light shining,
where is my light to guide me?
It lingers for a moment and disappears,
will my light leave too?
My eyes linger on where the pieces had disappeared,
is that how my light is going to leave too?
I stare at it again then run,
will I run away from the light as well?
Ken picked up the picture and threw it on the ground, it shattered, the glass flying everywhere, he sank down to the floor and took the photo out from the rubble or glass and stared at it. The "Ken" in the photo seemed to stare back, causing the Emperor to drop the photo. Ken blinked again making the sure that the people in there hadn't moved. But when he looked into the other Ken's eyes, memories flooded back.
:: Flashbacks::
Ken was sitting on the swing, it was the day after the funeral of his brother. He just couldn't understand, he was so sure what the girl had said was true. He wanted to see her again. She had given him a bit of light and hope for his future.
They haunt me still,
the scenes flashing,
over and over,
chilling me to the bone.
Ken continue to sit there until he felt a warm hand on his shoulder, he looked up to see the girl he had met in the hospital.
" Hi! Remember me from the hospital?"
Ken cringed at the word "hospital". Kari noticed and immediately asked, " What happened to your brother?"
" He died," came the soft reply.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Kari gently said as she put his arms around him and hugged him. Ken started to cry on Kari.
Kari did her best to comfort Ken…
The past,
repeats,
again and again,
flickering back and forward.
"Hey! Kari! Over here!" yelled a young Ken, beckoning Kari to his hiding spot.
" Thanks, I don't want to be "it" that soon!" said Kari.
" You're welcome,"
The pictures,
that once stood so still,
now seem to come alive,
and stare right back at me.
It was the day before Christmas, and Ken slowly went down the street, searching what he was looking for. He finally walked into a jewelry store and asked to make a special locket that had Kari's name on it. The sales person smiled at the young boy, knowing how it meant to him. In about an hour, Ken had paid and went out of the store. He looked rather nervous and went to the park.
The pain,
that had been washed away,
by the seas of tears,
has been washed back onto shore.
Ken went into the park and sat on swing, waiting for Kari. He nervously fidgeted with the small wrapped box in his pocket. He grew more nervous each minute and each second. What if Kari didn't come? What if she had something else to do.
" Hey Ken!" said Kari coming up.
Ken looked up and saw her walking up to him, he gave her a smile and answered with a "Hi" before he started to play with the box again.
" What's in your pocket?" asked Kari.
" Well, um…"
" Well what is it?" asked Kari, getting a bit impatient.
Ken pulled out the box and handed it to her, " For you," he said.
" Why? What for?" asked Kari, taking the box carefully.
" For being my friend and showing me what fun is,"
" Oh! But you gave me something already, you helped me too!"
" Not as much as you did!"
" I didn't do much!"
" Did too!" exclaimed Ken.
" Did not!" retorted Kari as she opened the box after she had took off the rapping. She gapped when she saw that it was a locket with her name on it.
Kari stared, Then she quietly took out of something from her pocket as well.
" This is for you Ken, thank you and Merry Christmas,"
Ken opened it, it was a photo of him and her playing in the park. Tai had taken the picture. Ken was trying to avoid the camera, but Kari grabbed his arms and forced him into taking it. Ken smiled at it and said " thank you". He gave Kari a small hug.
" It isn't much compared to yours,"
" No it is, it brings back all the good times. Like the teachers said, " It's what comes from the heart that counts.""
" Thank you again, Ken."
" No, thank you Kari and Merry Christmas,"
The memories,
came back,
only because I hadn't let go,
of you.
:: Flashback ends::
Tears fell from Ken's eyes as the memories hit him, one at a time. It didn't hurt outside, but deep inside, his heart was taking all the hits.
" Why?" he asked softly to no one, " Why does she haunt me so. But why is it, that I can't bear to hurt her? What does she have that is keeping me from doing so?"
He looked back on the screen at Kari again, " I guess I never did let you go," he said softly.
So? How was it? REVIEW PLEASE !!!
