Chapter 19
Getting To Know You

Meanwhile class was already beginning in the schools. It was now third period class, when Jordan finally arrived. She explained every thing to her teachers.
"You see, I was walking last night and I saw a figure lying in the road, blah blah blah," We have heard this story to many times now. She went down to all her teachers that the classes that she missed and said the story about three times in a twenty-minute time spanned. Pretty good once you consider the length of the story. Once she was finished and collected all her homework she went for lunch. She spent most of her time alone when Ken wasn't around. She never was good at making friends. Most of the time when she went to new schools all the kids made fun of her because she is so quiet. They thought she was a snob because she didn't approach anybody to say hello, or to ask and hang out with. It was hard for her to do this; she never had the courage. She always waited for people to come to her. But they never did come and talk. Well every once and a while she would find a friend. But sometimes she wished that they never came into her life at all, because she knew that she would have to leave them, for her fathers job would take her some place else, and she would never see them again. Probably. So she was happy in a way that nobody came to be with her, she would have nothing to lose then when she moved away, and she always knew that she would have to. Lunch ended and she decided that she wasn't feeling very well so she went to the nurse's office. (What did I tell you, my story loves hospitals and things like it :)) After a quick visit she asked if it was alright if she went home. They said yes. So she got all her stuff together and walk off. Jordan didn't feel like going home so she decided to take a walk like she had origanaly planned last night. Until it was interupted by a little insident.
At Sakura's school every body was surprised that Li showed up since he was hardly ever there. All day long he could hear whispers of his appearance. He didn't care much but Sakura didn't like it. She wanted to know what they were saying about her Shaoran. But every time she went to asked Syaoran held her back. She was a little pissed off of how he wouldn't let her go and investigate, but lost her anger once she looked at his handsome face. His smile was the one thing that would make any girl melt, and it did. When they first went to the school there in Odaiba, Li was having trouble keeping all the girls from not drooling over his handsome features. Sakura was getting a little annoyed by this, and so were all the other guys in the school. But Sakura can't blame them for acting like that; I mean those deep amber eyes, that unruly chestnut hair, never able to be tamed, but it looked good on him, so he never tried to change it. He is quite tall around 6'1 6'2 maybe a little shorter, but not much though. Sakura had the same problem with the guys, all ways staring at her, but again Syaoran can't blame them, I mean who wouldn't wanna stare at a Emerald eye beauty. With Auburn hair that shaped her face perfectly. Then there was her figure, every thing a girl would want. It was the same thing with Syaoran well almost, but switch the girls and guys. Syaoran could never stay mad at her for to long. Her smile was to warm, he couldn't help but smile at her. And she loved it when he smiled his RARE smile that was reserved only for her. Perhaps every now and then they may be lucky enough to see it, but it was mostly just for her.
"Izzy!" A voice cried out. Izzy turned around to see whom the owner of the voice is.
"Huh? Oh hi Yolie," Izzy greeted with a little peek on the cheek as she walked up to him.
"Hi," Yolie said with a slight blush.
"What brings you here?" Izzy asked.
"Well nothing really I just wanted to tell you that I had a great time last night," Yolie told him.
"Prodigious, so did I. You make very good company," Izzy commented.
"Thank you, so do you," Yolie added. They talk for a little bit but Izzy had to get back to class so they said their good byes and headed their different ways.
Ken was lying in his bed dying of boredom from having nothing to do but stare at the ceiling. As he lay on is bed he could feel something slowly taking him over, forcing him to sleep. Buy this is no ordinary sleep, as soon as he closed his eyes, the evil inside of him would emerge and take over. Ken was not sure if he would be able to force it back any longer. Finally Ken had no chose but to give up. He slowly lay's down and closed his eyes as soon as he did, he felt this great amount of pain going though him. He screams out of all the pain but nobody can hear because that part of Ken is no longer visible to the people of the outside world. The part of Ken that he wanted to forget and never see again is. The Digimon Emperor. Ken could see everything that he did from inside, but could do nothing to stop it. He got up from his bed, and started to walk out of the room, when he saw two figures walking towards him. He thought it would be best if he used an alternate escape rout. He went back inside his room and opened the window. As soon as he saw nobody was down below he jumped. This was from the third floor, but you have to remember this is the digimon emperor that we are talking about.
Not too far away Jordan was still walking home from her sick day at school. As she was walking she saw this person jump out of the hospital window, and fall to the ground. She ran up to help the person. When she saw who it was she was shocked. One that he would try to get out of the hospital and two because he wasn't hurt at all.
"Ken, are you all right?" Jordan asked him.
"I am not Ken. I am THE DIGIMON EMPEROR. And don't you ever forget that," Ken said and then ran off.
"Ken wait! We will get you help! Ken don't leave me," She said the last bit in a whisper.
"Foolish girl, she thinks that she can help me. HA. That's a laugh. Nobody can help you now! HAHAHA!" Ken said as he ran.
Jordan stood there dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that this was happening. She finally finds somebody that she likes a lot. And they turn into somebody else. She couldn't take in anymore all the pain that she had been holding in, finally came out as she fell to the ground crying. Nothing could make her stop. Nothing until she thought she heard somebody coming. Nobody must me cry, she thought to herself. As the person continued to come forward, she could hear the footsteps coming closer to her. And not farther away. This was odd since she was in the middle of a field.
"Are you okay Miss?" The voice asked.
"Yea.... I am . thank you for your concern but every thing is fine," She said not very reinsuring.
"I don't think so. Here let me introduce myself, my name is Syaoran Li. But you may call me Li. May I ask what your name is?" Li asked.
"Jordan, Jordan Kazaki," She answered.
"You have a very lovely name, may I help you get up? It will rain soon. And I don't think you want to get soaked?" Li offered.
"Really?" She said while looking up at the sky. There were hardly any clouds, but thought hey maybe he just saw the weather channel and it said it was going to rain.
"I know what you are thinking but trust me, in about an hour the sky will be filled with dark clouds. Come on get up," He said reaching out his hand for her.
"Thank you," She said taking it. As this was happening Sakura was also taking a walk and saw Li, so she started to run over. But as she got closer she could see that he wasn't alone he was with another female. Rage grew uncontrollable inside her. She ran from where she was making quite a bit of noise. So Li looked up to see what was wrong. He thought that he sensed Sakura and now he knew that she was there. Her anger showed in her aura a very powerful pink. Li knew she was mad. Perhaps he was too friendly. He couldn't stand it when Sakura was mad at him. It hurt him too much. Especially when he caused it. Jordan saw this and asked.
"Is there something wring Li?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that my helping you has caused some misunderstanding with my girlfriend. Perhaps I should go," He said turning around to leave. But she stopped him.
"You deserve somebody better if they get that jealous that easy!" She almost shouted.
"No, I don't. Sakura is the love of my life. We were destined to be together," He told her.
"I don't believe in all that destiny crap. It's all a lie!" She shouted.
"If that is what you believe then go a head. But I must go and find Sakura now. I'm worried about her," Li said again trying to leave. This time Jordan did nothing but stand there. And then he was gone. She felt so helpless. She can't do any thing to help Ken. And people were running away from her. She was starting to fall into a deep depression.
Sakura was still running away from the site that she saw. Li with another girl. It was all too much for her to handle. As she was running she could hear somebody coming close to her. She could sense a green aura and so she knew it was Li.
"LI GO AWAY!" She screamed to the man running up behind her. She knew that she couldn't out run him. He was the only person that could catch up with her.
"Sakura let me explain!" He shouted as he jumped in front of her.
"I don't want to hear it Li!" Sakura shouted.
"I was only helping her. She was on the ground crying. I couldn't just keep walking. You know I'm not like that anymore," Li told her.
"I know, but why were you holding her hand?" Sakura questioned.
"She was on the ground I was helping her up. I also suggested that she get home because it is going to rain. Perhaps we should be doing that same?" Syaoran suggested.
"Rain?" She asked.
"Yes, rain. Come now, I'll walk you home," Syaoran said reaching out his hand. Sakura slowly took it into her own. "Sakura I'm sorry if you thought I would ever do that to you. I could never I love you too much," He told her looking into her emerald orbs.
"I know. It's just all those girls at school. I can't help it," Sakura shouted a bit.
"Hey, I do too. Just think of all those guys that I have to fight back to stay away from you," Syaoran said laughing a little.
"I guess you're right, I mean I am gorgeous," She said with a grin.
"I know. You don't have to tell me," He told her and then stopped her and kissed her on the lips.
"What was that for?" She said a sly grin on her face.
"Do I need a reason?" he asked with a grin of his own.
"Well, now that you mention it..." before she finished she reached up and kissed him back which of course got him by surprise. "How was that?"
"It could be better," Li stated.
"Hey," She said as she gave him playful punch in the arm.
"Ow," He said rubbing his arm where she hit him.
"O yea, if I wanted to hurt you would know," She said doing it again.
"Hey quite it," He said still rubbing his arm. "So where were you going?"
"No where special. Just a walk," Sakura told him.
"Sounds like fun, mind if I join you?" Li asked.
"Of course not," She said as they walked off together.
