The Digimon Empress, Chapter 2: "The Empress' New Home"



Ken and Hikari had returned to the Digiworld so Hikari could get herself an outfit to wear as the Digimon Empress, Ken could design a new D- 3 for Hikari to use and so that the two of them could prepare themselves for Hikari's "Coronation Ceremony". The "coronation" would declare Hikari the Digimon Empress, co-ruler of the Digital World to the Digimon Emperor and establish her place by his side.

At the current moment, Hikari was modeling the seventh possible outfit she could wear as the Digimon Empress. "Ken, do you like this one?" she asked as she turned around, looking in a mirror as she spoke. The current one that she wore was a black, pink and white cat suit with a pink shirt, black gloves, pink boots and a cape to match. She even wore glasses similar to the ones Ken wore, only hers had black frames and pink lenses.

Ken, who was sitting on his "throne" nearby, and working on a design for Hikari's new D-3 on one of his computers, stopped what he was doing and turned around to face her. He lowered his glasses and looked at her. He looked slightly perplexed for a moment, then he answered her. "I don't think that pink will work for you like this." He replied. "Your outfit should give you an additional air of evil and power and pink doesn't work. It's just not an evil color. Maybe you should try red. Red is a nice color that gives an air of power, sexuality and wickedness. In fact, red and black look great together. Why don't you go try that?

Hikari smiled at him. "Good idea." She said. "I'll go change." With that, she left the room.

Ken returned to his work. "At last. " he murmured. "I finally have a Kaiserin of my very own to help me rule the Digital World. And she's gorgeous to boot."

Wormmon had overheard Ken and Hikari's conversation and he choose that moment to scuttle into the room. "Master, why did you bring her here?" he asked. "What do you want with her?"

" I need her to help me." Ken replied curtly. "I happen to know that goggle boy has a crush on her and her older brother is also a digidestined. Once her friends find out that I have got her on my side, they'll be too shocked to do much about it. And they won't fight back, which gives us enough time to take control over the entire digital world!" Ken finished this little speech with loud maniacal, laughter. Wormmon looked slightly upset. "It's so nice to be needed at last. " Hikari's voice said. She was standing in the doorway, wearing her new outfit and a sly smirk.

Ken's jaw nearly fell off and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Oh my." He murmured.

Hikari had changed into a black and red female version of his own outfit, except it had a really short red and black skirt and red, high- heeled boots that reached her thighs. She had black framed glasses with crimson red lenses, a black jeweled circlet around her forehead, black jeweled earrings and a necklace that had a pendant that was shaped like the crest of light only it was made with black jewels. She had even put on a little lipstick, which was a deep scarlet that really suited her.

"I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you like this outfit. " she said as she strolled over to him. "Your expression speaks volumes."

"You look like a goddess in that." He remarked. "Black and red are definitely your colors"

"It was your idea." She said, calmly. "I like the way that this makes me look and feel. I feel powerful, sensual and above all, I feel evil."

"And you look the part, too." Ken said, wrapping her up in his arms. "You look much better than before, my lovely Kaiserin."

"Is that an insult, Ichijouji!?" Hikari asked sharply.

"Of course not!" Ken cried. "My yami no tenshi ("angel of darkness" in Japanese), would I ever insult you?"

"No" she replied. " It's all right. Now what do you say to the idea of the two of us going out a wreaking a little havoc on the digital world, Kaiser?" She smiled a wicked smile and seductively arched an eyebrow.

" I like the way you think" he said, pulling her close and kissing her.

"Should I summon the Airdramon for you, Master? " Wormmon asked.

Ken looked down at his partner with a look of disgust. "What do you think?" he asked nastily.

Wormmon left as fast as his little legs could carry him.

Ken and Hikari laughed. Their reign of terror was about to begin.
