ELP: Yep, this fic is getting weird. Very weird.
Sammy: We don't own digimon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ken turned away from the show of affection that his older self and Arrow were portraying. It was a bit disgusting. The sun shone over the horizon, and the DD got out of the water. DK yawned, like Arrow.


" Miya-Chan, I wonder how long until we can return and fight back in Arearde?" Arrow shook her lavender head.


" I don't know Ken-Chan, but I hope they're holding out....." DK bowed his head low, then lifted it back up, his eyes filled with sorrow. Arrow looked behind him and gasped. DK eyed her weirdly. Arrow was frantically pointing behind him, choking on words.


" What?" Arrow pointed behind him with a shaky hand.


" IT'S THE FIRST!!!!!" She cried. DK launched foreword, sword drawn, and he whirled around, guarding Arrow. Ken watched in horror as a huge skeleton materialized. It bared a sword, full of blood. For once, DK looked afraid. Really afraid. Arrow was shaking. The skeleton laughed.
" I am the first, but you can call me master, or Death, or maybe Surt. And I am here to kill you, boy." Surt was huge, and very old looking, but really gross. Every part of his skin was ripped off, and blood was stained into his old showing bones. Surt took a step foreword, and DK a step back. DK cried out.


" MIYAKO RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Arrow ran as fast as she could, the DD following. DK raised his sword to block a down strike from Surt. Their blades connected, and Dk's sword snapped like a twig. DK cried out in alarm and pain as Surt head butted Dk. DK stumbled back, and didn't even get the chance to stand tall before Surt rammed Dk. DK went flying in the air, and came crashing down in front of Arrow and the DD. They swerved around him and stopped running. Surt leapt up, and came crashing down onto Dk's chest and gut. DK coughed blood up from the impact. Surt pinned him down, and pointed the tip of his bloody sword in Dk's face.


" Join me now, young warrior. You can have eternal power and glory. You will be a great ally to the Dark Army. And as long as you're in this position, you better say yes." Surt sneered. DK breathed heavily, and looked into the eyes of Arrow, then Ken, then Miyako. He looked back up at Surt.


" Y-You can't pull this puppet's strings anymore." Surt growled.


" And what makes you think you have a choice!?!" Surt bellowed. DK laughed.


" Because she believes in me, and that's all I ever wanted. so I'm going to say this. Get Bent." Surt roared and lifted his sword high in the air, above Dk's head. Arrow and the others ran, but Ken couldn't move. his eyes were glued one his end. Surt brought the sword down, but something slammed into him, tearing Surt off of Dk. The DD and Arrow turned around to see Ken slamming into Surt, but then being thrown off. Ken collided with a tree, and tried to get up, but Surt pushed his sword to Ken's neck. Surt stabbed Ken in the chest with a bone spike, and then in the arm and leg with another. Ken gasped painful notes of his vocals.


" You foolish child. When will you ever learn." Ken spit in Surt's face. The spit had blood in it. Miyako watched, terrified.


" As soon as you die." Surt's eyes widened, and he whirled around, just as DK swung his broken sword. It had been mended by pure energy, the energy flowing through DK and Ken. Courage and Faith. Surt's head was cut clean off, and Surt became nothing more then a pile of dust. Ken fell foreword off the tree, and barely stabilized himself. Ken was bleeding badly. Surt had barely missed his organs, but each wound was really deep. Miyako was barely able to breathe. Did Ken just save the world? Ken dropped to his knees, and then dropped sideways onto his side, barely breathing.

Miyako ran over to him, and kneeled down beside Ken. Ken looked up as the DD hovered over him. Miyako put a hand on the side of his head, trying to help him. Arrow was glomping DK, very happy. Ken looked up, and tried to focus, but his head swam with pain. Miyako rolled him over onto his back, and looked down at his face. Ken's eyes were a bit glazed, and she could see his breaths becoming shallow. Miyako stared as Ken reached a hand up and grabbed her hand. Cody was shocked. Ken had given up his safe running for the chance to save someone, and he did. Davis looked down at his injured friend. Ken groaned and stared up at the sky, eyes widening. His eyes were completely glazed, but he could still see straight. He gasped.


" I-It's her.........." Miyako looked up and gasped. There was a woman in a beautiful white robe, with icy pale skin, and fiery eyes. Her long, slender wings were of the earth. She landed beside Ken, and hovered a hand over him. White light appeared.


" I am the Goddess of Time. I am here to help. You have defeated Surt, the personification of Death. Yet you have to pay the price of a lost and hurt child. He is dying, and you all know it, but can't except it. The time has been unbalanced, and he must live. I shall heal his wounds, but he shall still hurt, he shall still remember, and he will still be broken inside. Some things can never be healed. The heart and soul is one of those things. He must learn to forgive himself, before anything else can start in his lonesome life.

He only knows me as the bringer of death, yet that is not what I am. He saw me take his brothers spirit away when he was younger. He is gifted, and you must not judge him for his pain. He sees more then any of you ever will. His spirit gets overwhelmed, and that is why the Darkness tries so hard to feed off of him. Please, remember that he is truely the only one in the world, who will be alone for all his life. Even if you are with someone, it does not mean that you are not lonely. As soon as he forgives himself, maybe that will change, but not now." Ken had passed out, and was being healed while he slept. The Goddess of Time disappeared, and Ken snapped awake. Ken looked around. Miyako had little tears in her eyes from happiness. Ken sat up on his knees, right when Miyako wrapped her arms around him and gave him a huge hug. Ken was stunned so bad, that his hands, just spread out at his sides, and didn't move. Davis winked, and the others left him and Miyako alone. Ken slowly and warily wrapped his arms around Miyako and hugged back. Miyako looked him in the eye.


" I thought you were going to die." Ken smiled.


" No, Miyako, I'm not going to die anytime soon. I'm sorry I worried you, though." Miyako smiled and hugged Ken again. Ken patted her back soothingly. Miyako looked up, and they rose to their feet. Ken looked down at Miyako with his hollow violet eyes. He leaned in, and planted a kiss on her lips and stayed their. Miyako froze. Ken Ichijouji was kissing her? This had to be fake. She pinched her hand, and it hurt. So it wasn't fake. Arrow and DK had disappeared back to their world. The DD awed. { I mean aawwwe ain't that cute} Ken moved his head a bit to the side, and let his tongue work it's way into Miyako's. Now, this was weird. Very weird. Miyako had never really even had a kiss before, let alone this. The DD raised their eyebrows and turned away.
