AN: Still don't own Digimon, and I have lost compete control as to where this story is going. Apparently Ken and Yamato are writing it, so blame them. ;p

Ken heard the doorbell ring. He went to answer the door.

"Hi, Ken. I brought Koushiro and Jyou. What's up that you need to talk to everyone tonight?" asked Daisuke.

"Ken, it's nice that you invited more friends over." Ken's mom walked out of the kitchen. "Are we going to have more of your friends staying the night?"

"No, ma'am. Jyou and I have to go home later. We just came to talk to Ken," answered Koushiro.

"Well, that's fine. You boys go talk. I'm sure that Ken will enjoy your visit." Ken's mom went back into the kitchen.

Ken led the group into his bedroom. He sat down on the bed among the books that he had just bought. "Where are Yamato and Takeru?" he asked.

Daisuke went to Ken's dormer windows and opened them. "We can't exactly have boys with wings walking in the front door, can we?"

Yamato and Takeru flew in. Yamato flew right into Jyou and knocked him into the wall. "Hi. Miss me?"

"You weren't gone long enough for me to miss you," answered Jyou.

Takeru stood in front of Ken. "Hi. How have you been?"

"I've been fine. I found something that you and your brother might find useful."

Yamato had gotten Jyou in his lap with his back against the wall. Koushiro looked at them. "Not now boys. You can do all of that stuff when you get back to Jyou's. We need to do some work." Jyou blushed while Yamato pouted.

Daisuke sat down in Ken's desk chair and spun around. "Well, what did you find?"

Koushiro sat down on another chair next to Daisuke. Takeru had gotten comfortable on the floor in front of Ken. Ken picked up one of the books on his bed. "I found a story about a group who didn't like magic. They wanted all magic to be banned from Vallen and all Fay to be banned also. According to this story, they were prevented from passing a law by the governor and went underground."

"You said this was a story?" asked Takeru.

"It is an old tale meant to teach children about fearing the unknown. But if such a group existed, they may have found a way to prevent the Fay from coming to Vallen."

"That's a leap of logic," said Koushiro. "I'm not sure how that would help us."

"A lot of folk tales are based on some facts. This one struck me as being something that may have happened in the past and was used to teach children."

Yamato nodded. "We have stories that way. It's easier to teach using history. That way we know our history as well as the lessons that we should learn from it."

"So where does that get us?" asked Jyou. "We have Koushiro's program and Ken's story. That's not much to act on. None of my research has an organized group against the Fay. There have been conflicts on and off, but nothing that would lead to a massive organization."

"Koushiro's program?" asked Ken as he put his book back on the bed.

Koushiro nodded. "A program that I found. It will end its run about the same time as Yamato and Takeru say that the bridges will collapse."

"So maybe the organization is using the computer network to carry out their plan," mused Ken. "That's assuming that everything that we have found is correct. I would guess that our next step is to find out what exactly the computer program does."

"Well, I've already started on that. The problem is getting at the programming. Whoever put this together has a very good security system attached to it. It's going to take me a few days, at least."

Daisuke gave his boyfriend a kiss. "Then that gives us a few days to figure out what this organization is."

Koushiro gave Daisuke a kiss and stood up. "I need to be getting home. Are you coming, Jyou?"

Jyou stood up. "I'm right behind you. I'll meet you at my house Yamato. I'll leave my bedroom window open."

Yamato stood up and walked to the window. "I'll see you there" He winked at Jyou and flew off.

Jyou shook his head and started out the door with Koushiro. Daisuke went out after them. "I'll be right back, Ken."

Ken looked down at Takeru. "Where are you going to be tonight?"

Takeru shrugged. "I'll probably find an old tree. They have some of the best places to sit and think, as well as sleep."

"You've been sleeping in trees? That doesn't seem safe."

"Why not? I live in a house in a tree at home. What's the difference?"

"I just don't like the idea of you sleeping in trees. Why don't you stay with Jyou or Koushiro or Daisuke?"

Takeru looked at Ken with a smile on his face. "Yamato wouldn't want me bothering his fun with Jyou, Koushiro needs time to work on his computer, and Daisuke…Well, his sister scares me sometimes. It's just easier for me to sleep in the trees."

"Well, I can't let you do that."

"And how are you going to stop me?" Takeru was almost giggling now. "According to you I don't exist or I am only here to annoy you. You really need to make up your mind about me. Do you care or not?"

Ken looked down at his hands. "I care about you. I'm just not sure about you being my soul mate."

"That's an improvement then."

"So you will be finding a different place to stay."

Takeru shook his head. "Where exactly would you suggest?" He shook his wings. "I don't exactly fit in. And I don't want to answer a lot of questions."

Ken sighed and looked up at Takeru. "Then you'll have to stay here with me. I'm not going to allow you to sleep outside. It's just not done."

Daisuke entered the room carrying a plate of cookies. "Sorry. Your mother stopped me to talk as usual. She sent in some cookies for us." He looked at Takeru. "You haven't left yet?"

Takeru shook his head. "Ken won't let me. He wants me to stay here with him."

Daisuke gave Ken a look. "So he did did he?"

Ken blushed and threw a pillow at Daisuke who easily dodged it. Takeru laid down on the floor and giggled. Ken smiled at Takeru. He really had a pretty laugh and he wanted to hear it more often.
