Opps Why did I forget to take away the no chapters note? This is chapters!! Obviously... Silly me. Forgot forgot forgot
Anyways here's the next chapter and YES it'll have Kaisuke or at least Daisuke IN here.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a tricky business getting out of under hill. He'd told Taichi to meet him by the gates. They would meet at the same time without setting a time to be there. That's just how things worked under hill.

All Ken knew about this was to somehow make it so the outer gate guards didn't know he was passing. He had to slip past their notice. Something would have to be done to him. Invisibility spells didn't work as you passed out of the gates. Taichi was only allowed to pass the gates with his clothing.

Flipping through an old book his father had left behind he stopped at the page that described his fathers species.

"A shape shifter... I wonder if... If i combine that ability with a spell... This just might work." With a smile Ken set down the book a began to work.

~~~~~~~~~

Taichi fidgeted as he waited for the outer gate guards to let him pass. He knew that if they found him smuggling ken out he would be in a lot of trouble. Ken had assured him that his plan was fool proof and that nothing would happen.

He'd met Ken at the inner gates awhile back. Ken had given him a bracelet telling him it was from Yamato. Then just... Disappeared. He didn't really want to take the bracelet but decided he'd like to have Something to remember the blonde from. With a sigh he slipped it on and walked towards the outer gates.

The guards questioned him and made sure he didn't have anything but what he had with him. Then he just left. As simple as that. Security was tight but... Guess whatever Ken had done was good enough.

He walked for sometime through a thick forest wondering when he would reach the real world. It felt like he hadn't been there in centuries. Then finally the last of the unnatural glow faded away and Taichi was left standing in the middle of a old forest. The tree trunks spiralling upwards around him, the lowest branches at least twenty feet up the trunks.

Ken suddenly materialized before him with a smug grin on his face. He began walking away not even sparing a glance at Taichi who didn't recognize his surroundings at all. He'd never seen tree's like this before.

"Ken stop! Where am I?" He called out beginning to feel very odd. As if he'd made a very bad mistake.

"Why should I care? I never said you'd turn up where you came in now did I? Hope you know the local language. Goodbye taichi. By the way you can't ever go back to under hill. Hope you said goodbye to Yamato."

And with that Ken disappeared between the tree trunks, seemingly becoming one with the shadows. Taichi stared after him wondering what the hell just happened...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken wondered aimlessly not truly caring where he went. He was free now to do whatever he wished. No controls placed on him by snobbish high elves. No goody two shoes brothers. Nothing but freedom and entertainment.

*I'm sure to run into a few interesting mortals somewhere around here.*

He thought smugly. The air here tasted different to him, the world more clear and sharp. He walked for hours feeling no fatigue or weariness. Being immortal had it's perks after all. The sun fell behind the horizon and for the first time Ken experienced true darkness. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds only occasionally bathing the world in silvery light. The dark elf decided he liked this time in the mortal world best.

The night passed and day came several times before Ken found anything of interest.

*Now this will be entertaining.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daisuke worked under the hot sun, whipping sweat from his brow. It might seem like he was doing nothing but the grain didn't need much help this late in the season. He was just checking to make sure none of the stalk became infected or infested with bugs or... something. The size of the field made this work tiresome and hot!

Sighing he decided to take a break. He slowly walked back towards the large willow tree that sat in the middle of the field. His lunch was under there. Once in the shade of the tree he grabbed one withered, sun warmed apple and sat down. It was much cooler here underneath the long graceful branches.

He was just sitting here listening to the branches in the breeze, eyes closed when he heard a branch snap. He opened his eyes quickly but barely saw a flash of blue black and violet before he eyes completely opened.

*Odd*

Finishing his meal he got up to finish his task but he kept looking over his shoulder, sure he was being watched.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was something intriguing about this human. In a way similar to Yamato's Taichi. Sun browned, wild hair and large deep brown eyes. But unlike Taichi this boy had an innocence that Taichi had long lost. One doesn't stay innocent long around Yamato's amorous affections. This boy was pure and untouched. Even from human society's taint he was pure. He felt wild, carefree and in a way delicate despite his sturdy appearance.

These traits called to Ken. He wanted to in some small way experience what his boy had. And if he could not then he'd find as much joy in crushing it.

I know SHORT chapter. But this was all I wanted to do with it. The next chapter shall be the stalking of Daisuke. Which should be a BIT longer I hope. I'll try and get it out quicker then every six months too. . Bad me.
