Some Things Are Best Kept A Secret…

By Kawaii Kitty

A/N: Just so some of you know, I have changed the spelling of the "Kaizer" to "Kaiser". More details at the end of the chapter!!! Thank you! Don't forget to review! I need them!

Chapter Five

Kaiser

My eyes open and I sit up, holding my forehead and groaning. My cape flows behind me, sitting as I am on the cold floor. I take a deep breath and groan once more. God my head hurts… It feels like I've been plowed over by a semi-truck towing 50,000,000 pounds or more going down a 12% grade. But… wait a minute… where am I?

I stand up and look around this place I am in. "Wh-where am I?" I ask, hoping for an answer. The only response available is my own voice repeating the question continuously, getting quieter each time it is spoken. This place does not look like my base…nor does it feel as such…I lift my hands to my face and examine them, as well as my arms, to reassure myself that I have not dematerialized into some alternate dimension. Nope… all here… Now to find a way out of this area… So I begin forward, as there is nowhere else to travel, it seems.

I walk in this strange, dark abyss, just… walking forward, not exactly sure where it is that I am headed. Beneath me is no defined ground, yet my footsteps echo around this eccentric world as if the forever-continuing walls around me were close in and plentiful in number.

I growl and clench my fist tightly, quickly becoming frustrated with this pointless game. "What the hell is going on!? Where the hell am I!?" I shout into the void.

"This is your mind…" A familiar voice speaks softly behind me. My heart skips a beat as the voice speaks. As I turn around, my eyes widen at the sight, which awaits me in horror…

"Wh-Who are you!?" I demand to the boy in front of me. He stands silent, his dark violet hair whipping across his face as a warm wind sweeps us. His hair is long, cut just under his chin. He wears a plain grey school uniform with a high collar with a golden pin attached to it. The shirt of the uniform is split in the middle, revealing the white undershirt. This pathetic being seems to have been here a while. His clothing is tattered and his hair in horrible shape.

He blinks and takes a step toward me. "You do not recognize me, do you, Kaiser?"

I smirk confidently. At least he is calling me by my appropriate name. "Should I recognize you? I do not believe I have ever seen you before in all of my existence."

"Think, Kaiser. I know you are capable of this verb." He says to me.

I growl. How DARE he speak to a superior being as he has! He shall pay dearly. He does bring up a point, though. I think for a moment, and then look at him. "You use my voice, yet I do not recall ever seeing your face."

He gives me a sly smile. "I use this voice because this is what I have grown up with."

"…What do you mean…?" I ask him.

The boy brushes a strand of hair from his violet eyes. "I speak like you because I am you."

I throw back my head and laugh at this preposterous statement "Idiotic boy. That's physically impossible! The only Kaiser is I. And as you know, no two beings can occupy the same space at the same time."

"True," he says softly, "it may be physically impossible, but psychologically, it is as possible as the earth's many origins. History is a fickle thing, you know."

"And what exactly do you know about the past?" I ask smugly.

"Far more than you do." He says with a glare at me.

"Explain."

"Very well. What can you remember about three years ago?" He inquires simply.

I chuckle and then actually begin to think about it. What did happen three years ago? "I… I remember…darkness… so much of it… I vaguely remember being in black…because of-"

"Because of Osamu-niisan." The mention of that name pierces a hole through my heart and soul big enough to fly a 757 through. I am almost glad that he said it instead of me. I would never be able to finish his name without crumpling to the ground in tears. The Digital Kaiser should never be seen crying.

"Yes… though I hardly see what this has to do with anything whatsoever… Why are you making me remember this?" I shout at him. He stares at me blankly.

"Can you remember anything from before the funeral?"

I think, straining my memory. I soon become frustrated with this insolence and clench my fist again, hurling it at him. As my fist comes in contact with his cheek, my corresponding cheek began aching. I could feel the imprints of knuckles in my face as I stumbled to the ground. I looked up at him, holding my cheek. He had not moved more than his head and his eyes.

"What the hell was that!?" I demand of him.

"Another point. That proves that we are one in the same."

"And what exactly does that prove?" I shout as I stand.

"You struck me, yet you feel the pain. You basically just hit yourself."

I glare at this smart aleck and spit to the side. What does he know? This is MY mind, not his! There is no possible way at all that HE can be inside my mind. At least without being a telepath. How else would he know about-

"About Osamu-niisan?" he interrupted… he …he interrupted my thoughts! I stutter to speak, but get cut off again. "Anything you think here might as well have been spoken. I told you before that this is your mind, the source of your thoughts. The effect of speaking should have been obvious. At least, I think so."

"Heh, What do you know?" I spit. "You may have tapped into my mind, but I still do not see your point."

"My point is," he said in his soft little voice, "That you and I are the same being, and that your powers over me have gotten far out of control, and it is time that I take my body back."

I lift my head in a loud laughter. Obviously this boy is a fool! "You? Take my body from me? HA! That must have been the funniest thing I've heard all day. Remember, boy. I am the one who is in charge of this vessel, not you!" I continue to laugh, but am soon joined by him. I cease my laughter and look at him, rather annoyed by this point.

"What right do you have to laugh?" I ask him resentfully.

He lowers his laughter to a chuckle, obviously still quite amused by the untold joke. "Since you seem to have forgotten, Kaiser, that YOU took this body from ME. You were spawned at Osamu-niisan's funeral, but failed to live for one year until I received my Black D-3. That is why you don't remember anything past the funeral."

I swallow hard. Could what this little bastard be telling me be true? … Of course not. This isn't some sort of multiple universe. "I am the only one of me here. I am in control, not you."

Again, he lifts his head in untold laughter. I growl at him. "You honestly think that you're in control? That's quite humorous!"

"Give me one good reason why I'm NOT in control!" I yell at him, by this point completely frustrated at his incompetence.

"What you and Miyako have just done proves it!" He yells at me. I chuckle softly as he glares at me in also apparent frustration. "You actually think you had power during your lovemaking session?"

"Of course I did, you fool!" I chuckle again. "After all, I did fuck her."

He glares at me with even further hatred and disgust. I nailed him. "My God you are stupid." He says. "Do you have ANY idea why you made love to her in the first place?"

The first thought that comes to mind is the obvious. "I was horny."

"You were a virgin. You could have kept that, but no. You had to fuck the first woman you could get your cock into." His words slide down my throat like the vilest of venoms, deteriorating my throat. I use every ounce of strength I have to resist the urge to smack him. The disrespectful bastard.

"You know nothing…" I hiss as my last resort.

"I know as much as you, Kaiser. Maybe even more." His claim is no doubt impossible. "Would you like a demonstration of the control I have now?"

"What control? Your so-called, 'powers'" I indicate "Powers" with my fingers acting as quote marks, "as you put them are no more than whims of the mind."

He does an about-face and closes his eyes, gently raising his hand. "Watch." He says. Slowly, like a theatre curtain, the image of my chambers is revealed to me, like a screen. Before me is that girl… the girl that I…

"Made love to, Kaiser?" He says to me, looking back at me pitilessly. I nod and simply look at her.

She looks so serene…the blanket around her… us… seems to be clinging onto her for dear life, yet it falls gently over the curve of her shoulders, her sides and waist, even her legs. The image is almost fitting for her. "She…she's…"

…Wait a moment… "My vision is clear! What the hell happened to my glasses?!" I look her over again, noticing her clutching my glasses close to her breast, gently, almost as if she were afraid to hurt them. I clench my fist and growl. "Wench…"

"Kaiser, just admire her." He says.

"That bitch took off my glasses! I never even said she could touch me, let alone take off my glasses! Ooohh… she'll pay dearly for this…" my hand begins to shake with fury.

The other me runs over to me, a look of desperation in his eyes. "Please, don't act rashly! She's just a girl! A human girl!"

I growl and lash the little pansy boy across the face with the back of my hand, not caring the stinging pain in my own cheek. "She may appear human, but she's just data! That's ALL she is! This wench is going to get a piece of my mind…"

I close my eyes, now feeling completely in control. When I open my eyes again, I have my body back. As I sit up, the voice of the boy harboring himself in my mind makes itself apparent.

"You don't want to hurt her!" he screams.

"Heh, like hell I don't!" I retort. "I'm gonna show her just what happens when you screw with the Digimon Kaiser…"I snatch my glasses from her hands violently and slide them on over my head, glaring at her through the familiar film of violet. I then decide that this type of thing is best left for later. I glare at her even still as I move to retrieve my clothing.

Stupid whore…what is she doing to me? I have ways of finding out. I grin, my fingers now delicately caressing the black ring on her wrist.



She is mine now… no one can have her but me…



A/N: Wai! The shortest time taken to write a really bad chapter to an excruciatingly painful story goes to…. Someone else, but Kawaii Kitty will accept the prize anyway! Actually, I really like this chapter; it's kind of foreshadowing what's to come, ne? Oh, if you didn't read the note up at the top, you might have noticed that I changed the spelling of "Kaizer" to "Kaiser". Well, the truth is that when I know that something is wrong and it isn't corrected, it drives me nuts! That's why I refuse to read Taito, it's wrong, dammit! Yamato marries Sora and has TWO kids while Taichi marries some other woman, and has a son! Obviously they're straight!

*Sigh* It's okay, all sane now. Anywhoo, as before, the spelling of the "Kaizer" to "Kaiser" was changed because in History Class, we just finished studying World War I where the name "Kaiser Wilhelm" appeared several times, driving me nuts to no end because of the way I had spelled it in my little story.

Well, every few chapters or so, I'm going to do a POV chapter. The next one's going to be Miyako's POV, then maybe Iori or Kaiser/Ken again. I just know that the final chapter is going to be a Miyako POV. Hope that gives you something to look forward to, if any of you are still reading this story, that is…



Chapter Preview Time!!!



The Kaiser's face was illuminated with a pale green-blue light as he and Wormmon entered the massive room with a casual smirk on his face. His violet eyes darted to the dozens of glass tubes, which lined the walls. Within each tube was a selected part of random Digimon. Arms, legs, eyes, armor, heads, and even nearly complete Digimon. The Kaiser continued into the room, his cape fluttering behind him, just as Wormmon was.

The tiny green Digimon looked at the parts in terror, never even wishing to see a fellow Digimon dead, let alone in pieces. He then looked up to Ken, curiosity marking his face. "Kaiser-sama…I-I never really learned just what this room was for…"

The boy looked down at the Digimon, stopping his walking. He grinned. "This room is where I have been planning a positively invincible plan against the Chosen." He looked ahead and pointed to a tube at the back of the passageway with a small black cat-like Digimon within it, like a dark version of the Chosen Child of Light's partner Tailmon.

"That," he said softly. "Is merely the beginning of what will surely become the destruction of all those who oppose me…"
