ELP: Chapter two! I don't own anything but this fic. No creatures belong to me in this fic, unless I shove them in. Thank you.
Nick: I think she's going insane. Peoples of the world, or just the ones who read! ELP was in goalie today, and she had to block repeated shots for 5 minutes, because no one was able to get to her. I would've, but Mr. O shoved me into a wall and held me there.
John: Yeah, I would've, but I was not on the shift.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken staggered home, Wormmon on his shoulder. The fight with Rockmon had thrown him into complete pain, and he just wanted to stop walking and collapse into the nice, green grass beneath his feet. But he pressed on, determined to make it home. When he reached a TV, there was a human that Ken just did not feel like facing.

Cody.

Cody was standing in front of the TV, blocking Ken's way. Ken sighed.


" Okay, I know you're probable fuming and you're probable going to give me a long leture, stopping me from getting home...." Ken droned, looking down at Cody, his eyes giving off just how hurt and tired he was. Cody shook his head.


" No, I'm not. I was just wondering how you survived that blast from Rockmon." Cody droned back, crossing his arms. Ken groaned.

" I admit it, I have no clue. I just jumped 'cause I knew that if I stopped the Rockmon's blast, it wouldn't hurt anyone else as long as I could stop it. How I survived, I have no clue. But whatever I did back there or back in time, I'm paying for it now..... So, could you let me through?" Ken was growing weak, his vision blurred. Cody stared at Ken's unfocused eyes, and then at the dark red pant leg. Cody nodded, and Ken smiled weakly. He stumbled forward, opened the port, and was sucked through. Cody shook his head.


" The things I do for Miyako......." He muttered, walking back to his friends.

Ken landed on the floor, hurt. He picked himself up, and then flung himself into his bed. His parents were gone to Canada, no relatives, and a lot of pain. Ken rolled over in his bed, and flung off his shoes. They collided with the wall, and Ken checked his leg. There was a big gash in his leg, and his ankle was sore. Not broken or anything, but still sore. Ken got up and limped to the bathroom, and cleaned his wounds. He wrapped his leg in suppressant bandages, and then limped back to Wormmon. He treated Wormmon's minor cuts and bruises, and then slumped into his bed, very tired.

It was a hot day in summer, just after the end of school, { just for say } and who knows how long Ken slept. In the morning, or should we say, afternoon, Ken woke up, and walked into the kitchen with Wormmon in his arms. He made French Toast, ate with Wormmon, and sat down in the living room.


" Man, what a good rest! I haven't slept like that in years! Still hurts though..." Ken got up, and then walked into his room, picking up his sketchbook, his huge art supply box, and a couple of CD's. He walked back into the living room, and put his CD in, and then pushed play, cranking the music, and sitting down on the couch.

I hear, the voice,
Don't be so blind
It's telling me all these things, that you would probable hide,
Am I your one and only desire,
Am I the reason you breathe,
Or am I the reason you cry,

Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,
I just can't live without you,

I love you, I hate you,
I can't get around you,
I breathe you, I taste you,
I can't live without you

I just can't take anymore,
It's like a solitude,
I guess that I'm out the door,
And now I'm done with you,

Done with you,
Done with you,
Done with you,
Done with you,
Done with you

I feel, like you don't want me around,
I guess I'm back on my feet,
I guess I'll see you around,
It's all, been bottle up until now,
As I walk out your door,
All I can hear is the sound,

Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,
I just can't live without you,

I love you, I hate you,
I can't get around you,
I breathe you, I taste you,
I can't live without you

I just can't take anymore,
It's like a solitude,
I guess that I'm out the door,
And now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you,
I can't live without you

I left my head around your heart,
Why won't you tear my world apart,
Always,
Always,
Always,
Always,

I see, the blood all over your hands,
Does it make you feel, more like a man,
Was it all ,just a part of your plan,
The pistol shakin' in my hand,
And all I hear is the sound,

I love you, I hate you,
I can't get around you,
I breathe you, I taste you,
I can't live without you

I just can't take anymore,
It's like a solitude,
I guess that I'm out the door,
And now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you,
I can't live without you,
I love you, I hate you,
I can't live without you,
I just can't take anymore,
It's like a solitude,
I picked myself off the floor,
And now I'm done with you,
Always,
Always,
Always...

Ken started to sketch feverishly. Wormmon watched from atop his shoulder, how Ken's hand moved across yet not on the page, the pencil gently scratching on the page, making lines of no sense. Then, suddenly, the lines became a stunning picture of Cody, staring up at him, the TV behind him, Armadillomon by his side. The detail was shocking. The way Cody's hair was to the checkered back of Armadillomon, covered in no time at all. Cody's eyes were authentic, and the whole page seemed like it was jumping out at Wormmon and his big blue eyes.


" Ken, that's a great picture. I like it. It shows how serious that kid is. Wow, I knew you drew and sketched, but this is great!" Wormmon exclaimed. Ken laughed and nodded, blushing.


" Thanks. I appreciate it. Now, do you want a picture?" Ken asked, returning to normal color. Wormmon thought for a moment.


" Do that Miyako girl. I don't think many people do. So, try it, I'd like to see you do something happy." Ken thought for a moment.

" Well, let me see......" Ken started to sketch again, his hand flying across the page. Wormmon watched in awe. Finally, Ken started coloring the picture, using greens, blues, reds, lavenders, oranges, some browns, blue, yellow, tan, peach and black. It became a stunning picture of Miyako pulling Davis's face sideways, stretching his face out. Davis had a rice cake in his mouth, and Miyako had a chocolate chip cookie in hers. Ken signed it in black at the bottom, and then showed it to Wormmon. The little Worm started to laugh, smiling away. Ken laughed with him, recalling the time they had snuck by a Digidestined picnic. Davis had insulted Miyako, and she had started to pull his mouth and face, stretching him out. And the whole time, she managed to keep a chocolate chip cookie in her mouth. Ken perked up for a moment.

" Hey, do you want to go and just, maybe, hang around in the Digiworld, and sketch and stuff? I could bring food." Wormmon jumped onto Ken's shoulder. Wormmon practically beamed in excitement.


" Okay, Ken-Chan, let's go!" Wormmon exclaimed. Ken laughed and nodded.


" Okay, just let me get the stuff ready." Ken made some sandwiches, packed some cookies and his art supplies. He kept his sketchbook under his arm, and they were soon in the Digiworld.

Ken landed in the Digiworld. He got up, and they both sat under a tree. Ken started to sketch and eat, while Wormmon watched and ate. They were like this for a while. Ken had drawn pictures of Wormmon, the meadow, and some birds in the sky. He sighed deeply, lacking anything new to draw. He got inspiration, but not the kind he was hoping for.

Miyako ran fast, and then tackled Davis over into the meadow, trying to kill him. Davis once again had insulted her helmet. And no one does that without suffering. After she had brutalized Davis, and given him the most painful looking Nuclear Wegdy ever seen, she let up and let him go alive. She then looked through the field, and spotted a lone Ken and Wormmon, under a tree. Ken had his head rolled back, and had something in his lap, along with Wormmon. Miyako walked back over to the group. Davis was hiding behind Kari, who was sweat dropping. Miyako sighed.


" Me go see Ken. You no follow. I'm going no matter what. Bye." Miyako quickly explained in cave man language to the Digidestined, not letting any time for answers. Mimi spoke up before Miyako could run.


" Me come too. I'd like to thank Ken for saving everyone. He did help a lot." Mimi and Miyako walked off, and the remaining Digidestined walked off to the south, wondering why they used cave man language, and ready to wreck some control spires. Mimi and Miyako moved over the hill, and resumed walking towards Ken.

Ken snored lightly as he slept, Wormmon in his lap, on his sketchbook. They were both unaware of Mimi and Miyako. Mimi and Miyako approached the two. Miyako stopped and stared at Ken, sleeping. He didn't even look peaceful as he slept. Ken shifted and groaned, groggily opening his eyes halfway. His eyes narrowed even more then they were at the sight of the two. He opened his eyes fully, and sighed, putting his hands on the ground, ready to get up.

" Sorry about that, I can-" Mimi cut him off.


" No, stay. You got here first. We just thought we saw someone over here, and I guess we did." Mimi said, not nervous. Ken let himself relax, but only a little. Miyako smiled at Ken, who blushed a little.


" Uh, okay, whatever. Uh, Hehehe, about the other day, I'm sorry if I hurt anyone. I wasn't-" This time, Miyako cut him off.


" Don't worry, it was only a control spire you helped get rid off. Like the Thundermon." Miyako and Mimi sat down opposite sides of Ken, near the tree. This was only making him more nervous.

" Y-Yeah, that's it. Where are the others?" He asked, trying to fill the air. He was stuck with two girls that he barely knew that well, and he was really nervous. { Nick: I would be. ELP: Nick, be quiet! }


" Oh, they went to blow up some spires." Mimi answered, pointing south. Ken nodded, and pulled lightly at his collar.


" Uh, well, I uh, best be, uh... going? Uggh, I am no good at this...." Ken muttered, glancing at both of them suspiciously. Miyako and Mimi giggled like schoolgirls.


" So, what's in the book?" Miyako asked. Ken went red.


" Uh, just, drawings. I really should be going..." Ken desperately tried to escape, but Mimi and Miyako held him there without touching him.


" Maybe you shouldn't. I think it's great to know that someone still has a hobby. So, crack it open, I would really like to see them. We won't laugh." Mimi explained. Ken sat back down in his spot between them, not knowing that the Digidestined were spying on them. Wormmon awoke.


" Hey, Ken-Chan, and Mimi, and Miyako. Hey, wait a minute..... Oh, Hi!" He exclaimed, soon figuring out were he was. Miyako and Mimi smiled their hellos, and Ken almost wimpered his. Wormmon got onto Ken's shoulder.

Ken opened his sketch book, and then showed Mimi and Miyako all of them. First, he had individual full shots of the Digidestined, and their partners, all on different pages, with backgrounds according to their crests, plus Wormmon. Then there was a picture of the group all together, plus Wormmon, minus Ken. Then, there was the Cody picture, and the streching face Miyako and Davis. Then, the meadow, the tree, the sky and the bird. Mimi and Miyako looked in awe.


" Man, you're good." Miyako murmered, smiling. Ken was starting to feel not so nervous.


" You truely are good. I like those, especially the one with Miyako and Davis." Ken smiled and laughed a bit.


" Wormmon wanted me to draw Miyako, so I shoved Davis in there, too." Ken tucked the sketchbook away, and pulled out the picnic. Once again, he had packed enough for an army, never sure on how much he would need. So, the 3 people and one Digimon ate and laughed. Hawkmon and Palmon were with the Digidestined. Bad move.

Once they had cleaned up, and Ken had dropped the stuff off at home and returned, they started to walked together into the meadow. Ken stopped when he heard something. He looked around, trying to pinpoint something. Mimi and Miyako stopped with Ken.

" Ken, what's wrong?" Miyako asked. Ken looked down at his foot.


" Oh No...... Miyako, Mimi, and Wormmon, get everyone off the field for at least a mile. And watch where you step." Mimi raised an eyebrow.


" Why?" They asked. Ken sighed deeply, and looked up with a terrified look on his face.

" Because I just stepped on a mine."
