Thanks for all your reviews… they keep me going! Anyway on to the fic!

Warrior at Heart

Gatomon looked at Kari, worried about her. Veemon was watching Gatomon, he knew that Kari was bothering Gatomon, he had began studying her ever since he laid eyes on her. He slowly made his way towards Gatomon, finally he was walking right next to her.

" Hey Gatomon?"

" Huh? Oh, hi Veemon,"

" Are you alright? You seemed to be worried about Kari,"

" Yea, she thinks that Ken being bad is her fault,"

" How can she think that? She never knew the guy,"

" No, she was friends with him when he was little,"

" WHAT?"

" Shhh… listen do not say a peep about this or my claws will go into your throat!"

" Yes ma'am"

" Anyway go back to Davis, I need time to think,"

" Sure… master…"

" Haha… very funny Veemon,"

Veemon left Gatomon alone and continued to watch her throughout the trip.

Meanwhile, Ken had clean up the glass pieces and put the photo in a drawer to not disturb him.

" Wormon!" he called sharply.

" Yes master?"

" Get the Darktrynanmon (sorry don't know how to spell) ready,"

" Yes master," said Wormon as he quickly went away.

Ken sat down and found the coordinates of the digidestined.

" Master?" called Wormon after a few minutes had past.

" What is it?"

" The Darktrynanomon are ready,"

" Alright,"

Ken got up and went to the creatures waiting and jumped onto one of them. He ordered them to take him to the coordinates.

" Oh, yes I forget one thing, do not harm the girl with the Gatomon," Ken said.

The creatures nodded, Ken hopped off and landed on a Airdramon(don't know if that is spelt right either) and they continued to the their destination.

Kari was walking, but she didn't pay attention what so ever to her surroundings nor what was up ahead, she was just looking strait down at her feet. She was deep in thought, she still didn't understand how Ken become evil.

" Was it really not my fault?" she thought to herself as tears began to fall again.

Deliver me,

from this pain.

Believe that I can,

survive the raging waters or time.

Trust me,

that I can guide your boat.

Listen to me,

so that you may not fail.

Watch me,

to calm you down.

Feel my soul,

so that you can feel the comfort.

Understand me,

to better understand yourself.

Defend me,

when I'm down.

Spinning around me,

won't help you from the hole.

Stop swirling around,

come out and go on.

Move on,

let go of the pain.

Leave,

the sorrow.

Hear me,

before I can't warn you anymore.

And if you can't hear me,

then you can't get back the lost time.

Until,

you can understand,

may I be with you forever and not go back.

" I want to help him, but he won't let me, I just know it," Kari thought as she walked on, tears running freely now.

" GUYS! RUN! IT'S THE DIGIMON EMPEROR!" screamed Yolie as the dark looking dinosaurs approached them slowly and were coming into view.

Kari looked up and stood in fear as everyone else ran and left her and hid in bushes, trees, and behind rocks. Gatomon stayed and stood in front of Kari. Kari was stilled petrified on the spot, she just couldn't move. When the Darktrynanmon reached her they stood in front of her staring at her hard. Kari let out a whimper and sank down to the ground.

Ken watched the girl, suddenly she began shaking lightly and hacking, coughing. He jumped off quickly and approached her, Gatomon tried to block him, but a Darktrynanmon picked her up and just held her in the air. Ken knelt down and felt her forehead and it was burning. Kari slowly went into a state of unconsciousness. He lifted her up in her arms, jumped on to Airdromon and went off. The Darktrynanmon followed with Gatomon who was using " Lightning Claw" every 5 to 10 minutes when she recovered but soon ran out of energy.

The other digidestined tried to do something but Veggimon popped out of no where and forced them to fight back, but they too, soon disappeared.

" KARI!" yelled TK.

" No use TH, and it was your fault,"

TK was silent, and soon began pacing around. Cody looked furious and worried at the same time. Yolie, exhausted sat down and began watching TK. Soon all eyes were on TK, wondering what he would do to respond to Davis' remark.

" Yea…" TK said, " Yea, it was my fault, I should of grabbed her in time, we could of gone home by now… and…"

" TK! It isn't your fault!" said Cody angrily, " It wasn't anyone's fault! We can't do anything about the future, what happens, happens!"

" Oh…"

TK stared after the distant figures of the large dinosaurs and a bird like figure above them.

" Why did I do this?" Ken wondered as he looked down at Kari. She was getting paler by the moment and was shaking slightly.

" What have I gotten my self into?" Ken asked himself as they neared his base.

Once inside, Ken laid Kari down on the bed of a room. He quickly grabbed a book off the shelf and looked up a remedy for Kari's illness. Kari had a history of a bad respiratory system. When she was little she was often sick and Ken had always waked her home. Knowing this, Ken began looking through the pages.

Kari on the other hand was having a nightmare, she tossed and turn, causing Ken to worry. The Emperor would glance up at her once a while, checking her temperature and pulse. Kari was still debating whether it was her fault or not, at one point she screamed causing Ken to jump up and Wormon, who was in the room at the time, to fly into a wall. Kari woke up immediately after that and was about to scream again when she saw Ken. Ken, quickly grabbed the glass of water nearby and forced it in her mouth, she gulped it in and calmed down.

" What am I doing here and where is Gatomon?" she asked shaking slightly.

Ken stared at her, then pointed on the chair near her were Gatomon was still sleeping, tired from the energy that was wasted. Kari blinked to make sure it was Gatomon and checked if there were any dark spirals or rings.

" There aren't any on her," said Ken without looking up.

" How can I be so sure? I can't trust you," said Kari.

The words hit Ken a little, causing him to cringe at them. He knew that it was true, but something didn't want it to be true, something deep inside. Kari was staring at him coldly, he can feel her eyes on him stinging the back of his neck. He soon found what he was looking for and called Wormon over to get the herbs.

" Why do you need the herbs for?" Kari asked curious and coughing at bit at the same time.

" Don't talk, your lungs seemed to have worked up or something, the herbs are suppose to help you," came the cold reply.

Kari stared, she didn't know what to do, whether to retort it or accept it quietly and the battle in her mind began again.

Your power,

oh so great,

too great I dare say.

I am,

nothing but a slave,

a shadow of your greatness.

But you are cold,

cruel at heart,

and cold as stone.

You look down at me,

as if I am nothing more but an ant,

wandering in your path.

If I cross you,

you would be able to take my fate,

into your hands.

You can step on me,

and end my life,

or spare me and make my life miserable.

But even so,

truth be told,

I rather be dead.

I would rather be free,

from all the pain,

that the likes of you will cause.

You don't listen,

because you believe that you are the only voice,

but the question is: What about mine?

Am I not a person,

a living being,

just like you?

Have I no right,

because you think,

that I am not worthy?

You,

seem to have control,

of everything here.

Your coldness,

is the sign of weakness inside,

that you hide behind the cold.

Though I may tremble,

before your great power,

but I know you.

My knees shake when you walk in,

you watch me and laugh,

but deep inside I laugh to because it isn't you.

My hands tremble with fear,

and break dishes when you are near,

you yell and tell me to get out, but I see something else.

I tremble at your feet,

true,

but I still care about you.

Wormon soon came back with the herbs, and Ken followed the instructions to the remedy and soon made it. He went over to Kari and gave to her.

" Drink it, it'll heal your lungs,"

" Why should I trust you?"

" Who else here can you trust right now? Gatomon is asleep, and there is no one here but me and Wormon,"

Kari studied him carefully, piercing his cold blue eyes, finally drank it down. Her coughing stopped immediately, and she began to breathe easier.

" Hungry?" asked Ken.

" No, can I go now?"

" No, your still sick, stay where you are or even the remedy won't help,"

Kari nodded and watched him as he went away, she started thinking about him again and soon fell asleep.

What you done,

is truly damage,

beyond imagination.

The pain you caused,

won't go away,

it's still here and will be forever.

I want to forgive,

but it is too much,

even healing will take years.

I want to forget,

but it is too much,

just to let go.

I know you're sorry,

but how can I be sure,

when you had done this?

How can I trust you,

if you can just lose it again,

and just say you are sorry?

I guess you can say,

I can forgive,

but I won't forget.

Ken watched as Kari fell asleep from the door, then went in, he left some soup on the table and looked down at her. Finally, he leaned over and gently brushed his lips against her cheek. He then turned and left, wondering what to do now.

1 Trapped, Falling for You

I'm trapped in these seas,

swimming around in the heart of your soul.

You trapped me here,

with all your love.

Yet, the water around me,

is so cold, chills me to my soul.

The last gleam of hope inside,

is like the light of the dying coals.

The innocence you once held,

was gone in a flash of light.

You left me hanging onto life,

as you disappeared, saying you would return.

But where are you,

I've waited for seasons past.

I don't know if you still remember,

the fact that you do is unreal.

I'm locked in here,

but you haven't come to set me free.

I'm trapped here still,

because I fell for you that one time.
