Don't worry, this IS a Davis/ken story (um...Dee/Ken story ^_^;)
P.S: I eat flames for breakfast and lunch (but for dinner, a nice, spicey cury will do)



Ken felt someone watching him. He tried to ignore that person, but it got quite annoying. He opened his eyes a crack. It was Izzy.

"About time you woke up, Ken." Izzy sighed.

"Why didn't you get one of the others up?"

"They're a bit more stubborn than you are."

"So...did you find anything?" Ken asked.

"Oh, yeah. Found quite a bit of information when I consulted Genai." Izzy said."It appears that it's Myotismon again. But," Izzy held up a hand to stop Ken from interupting."it's not actually him. He has 5 whole forms, and these last two are pretty dangerous. The current one causing Davis-"

"Dee." Ken corrected absently.

"Okay, Dee, then." Izzy said."His name is ShadowMyotismon. He controls both the shadow and dream realms. If you make an enemy of, or cross one of his lower forms, he'll make you regret it. In this case, because Dav-I mean, Dee, resisted his powers last time, and ultimately led up to his demise, and now his rebirth from the nightmares of digimon and humans, he's latched onto her."

"Latched on?!" Ken shot a look down at the sleeping angel beside him.

Izzy nodded grimly.

"Determined to get his revenge. The theory that Genai and I have come up with is that ShadowMyotismon has gone a bit nuts. He thinks that as a female, Davis will be too weak to resist his powers this time. He also may think that a guy like Davis was would have a breakdown or suffer because he's a girl. Plus, he likes to hear little girls screaming. That's a double bonus for him."

"Dee is stronger than that." Ken said.

"Ah, but ShadowMysotismon doesn't think so. This could fall either way. It's really all up to Dee. I think that she can hold her own."

"So do I."

"So..." Izzy looked around."what's everyone doing here?"

Ken explained. Izzy blanched.

"Uh oh..." he said.

"Uh oh?"

"Well, you see..." Izzy gulped slightly."ShadowMyotismon is...How do I put this? He's disabling Dee so she can't fight back, physically and mentally. He's trying to break her fighting spirit. You know, it is possible for a person to be literally scared to death. None the worse for ShadowMyotismon if he kills Dee in the dreamworld, though that takes away from his fun."

Ken was outraged.

"There's a way to foil ShadowMyotismon, though."

"How?"

"Well, #1: change Dee back into Davis. There may be an antidote to...whatever it was that changed Davis into Dee. But that's part of plan #2."

"And that is...?"

"Plan #2: find ShadowMyotismon's base. Get the antidote. May have to use bait as distraction. #3: Find his weakness. Possibly use some kind of bait again? #4: destroy him, though that will lead up to his rebirth into his fifth and final form. Then..." Izzy shrugged helplessly.

Ken looked incredibly strained.

"It gets worse." Izzy added."We now have less than one week to get the antidote to Dee. And every hour that she's Dee, she becomes more female than ever. Soon, Davis will cease to exist. And He must've ingested an awful lot of whatever caused the change. She may be stuck like that forever. Or as long as she is kept out of ShadowMyotismon's clutches. And that's near impossible. "

"No matter what one does, it's impossible to win..." Ken whispered. He looked down at Dee again. She looked so sweet, so innocent..."No." he said. Izzy looked at him."I'm not going to let him do anything to Dee."

"None of us will, Ken." Izzy assured him."Now, Genai and I think it's best that we take some time off, and go camping again."

"What?!"

"It's the best way to do this. It's a good excuse. Plus, we'll be in a secluded area, great for formulating a plan. And Dee can heal up a bit. Broken ribs are painful, and she'll need her strength."

"That's true." Ken looked at Izzy."You must've been up the whole night with Genai."

Izzy stiffled a yawn.

"Yep." he said."I'm exausted.

"Why don't you curl up and get some sleep?"

"Thanks, Ken." Izzy yawned again. I'll do just that."

Izzy curled up in an extra blanket, and was soon asleep.



Ken mulled over what Izzy had said. It frightened him to think that Dee could...die. He was really starting to feel close to Dee. They were best friends, but...he was actually starting to love Dee. He felt the need to protect her. Ken grinned. Knowing Davis/Dee, she could take care of herself. Davis was a tough cookie. Dee could only be the same.



Dee woke only minutes after Ken had finished his musings. She smiled up at him.

"Good morning." Ken greeted her. Dee smiled weakly.

"Good morning, Ken." she replied. She sat up, wincing.

"Did you sleep okay?" Ken asked anxiously.

"Yes. No nightmare." Dee smiled."You were there. My knight. You protected me."

"I did?" Ken asked. Dee nodded.

"I feel safe with you."

Ken was speechless. His mouth hung open a few inches, and he started turning red again. Dee carefully stood up, gathered her clothes, and went to change.

Once Dee had dressed, she finally looked at herself. She looked somewhat pretty. Her eyes were still brown, but were big, like chocolate drops, and fringed with thick black lashes. Her lips were a naturl rose colour, and beautifully shaped. Her bangs came down to mid-eye level. She brushed them aside impatiently. Her brows were gently arched. And as she regarded her long hair, they arched even further. She had TONS of it. It fell to her knees in silky waves and curls, but was all tangly. Dee searched for a comb or brush. there wasn't one. She tried to pat it into place, but that didn't work. Neither did trying to comb the tangles out with her fingers; she just yanked out bits of her hair. Finally, she gave up. As she was walking dejectedly back to Ken's room, his mom cheerfully greeted her.

"Good morning, dear. Why the long face?"

Dee explained about her hair problem.

"Oh, that's no bother!" Mrs.Ichijouji exclaimed. She walked into her room, and came back with a basket of hairpins, elastics, and a brush."Sit down, I'll help you with your hair."

Dee sat down. The brush felt strangely good, swishing through her hair.

"Your hair is beautiful, Dee." Mrs.Ichijouji said, parting it in the middle."Such a lovely colour, too."

"Thank you." Dee said, shyly.

Within ten minutes, her hair was neatly groomed into a french braid, the tail of which swung down her back, and curled at the end.

"You look lovely." Mrs.Ichijouji cooed."Now, go on. See what Ken thinks."

Dee felt a hot blush creep up her neck, and across her cheeks. She walked, dazed, back to Ken's room.



By this time, everyone was up. Izzy was refreshed from his quick nap. They all stared at her as she walked in.

"Dee..." Ken said, groping for the right words."You look..."

"Gorgeous." Sora said. Dee grinned and blushed some more. Tai noticed she was walking stiffly.

"Still sore?"

Dee ground her teeth.

"Of course I am!" she snapped. Growling, she said down next to Ken, and let her temper simmer down. Ken shot Izzy a look that said 'See what I mean?'.

"So, as I was saying." Izzy said as he hid a grin, obviously continuing a discussion."All in favor of the camping idea?"

Dee turned to Ken, her expression quizical.

"Ah, we were thinking of going up to the campground you guys used when you...you know, defeated me?"

Dee flinched slightly.

"We can make a plan on how we change you back, and get rid of ShadowMyotismon-"

Dee sucked in her breath sharply, her expression woeful. They mistook the reason for her distress.

"Don't worry, we won't let him hurt you anymore." Izzy said. The others nodded, smiling. Dee carefully kept her expression blank.

The real reason she was upset was...

"I don't want to change back." Dee whispered. But no one heard her.
