Digital Destinies
By firehedgehog
Chapter Seven
Nekomon frowned from where he watched the interaction between
the digidestined and the viral enimie digimon, he didn't like the way Daemon
was looking at Ken. He flexed his claws ready to leap from the rooftops in a
split second if needed, he decided that he would only join this fight if he was
needed.
'It looks like they might need me' Nekomon thought as a fight began,
he strained to hear what was being said below. He gasped as Daemon
suddenly actually opened a portal to the digital world, he began to sweat.
"Damn, looks like I'm going to have to join this fight," Nekomon said
angerly, he sighed and looked at the golden gauntlets he wore. "Hope this
works, but if it works for others it should work," Nekomon said, closing his
eyes he concentrated pulling on the power he felt inside the gauntlets...
which were actually the digiegg of Miracles.
"Digimon energize," he called, he gasped as something even more
powerful then any digivolution grabbed him and seemed to hold onto him.
He closed his eyes as he felt his feet actually lift off the ground, he
gasped as a new energy seemed to fill him... it felt different then
digivolution... it felt wonderful.
He gasped as he suddenly landed on his feet again power flowing
through his body, opening his eyes he looked at his reflection in a reflective
window of a nearby building.
'Don't worry Kenny boy, your big brother will be watching over you'
he thought, he nodded to himself and readied to strike. He made sure he was
in a good position, when he struck he would still be hidden from sight.
***
Ken felt as if his body was on fire as he strained to change the digital
gateway to a gateway, to tell the truth he had no idea of how they would
force Daemon into the gate. He knew deep in his heart that they weren't
strong enough to deafeat the viral digimon, he didn't voice this... it would
take the others hope down.
'We need help, the other kids are great but we need a miracle to get
out of this' Ken thought, tears sprung to his eyes as pain spread through his
body as the digital gate finally became a dark gate.
***
Nekomon nodded when he saw Ken open the gate to the darkworld,
Gennai had told him about the dark world... about how it had changed his
brother when he had gone there.
He gasped suddenly as a strange tingling spread over him, he felt a
wave of dizzyness and... well he didn't know how to describe it. It was like
he was in two places at once and in control in both of them, the first was of
his armored digimon form, the second was invisible... a ghost to the world.
Looking at the ghost like form he was surprised to see that it was his
human form, he switched most of his thoughts to Sam leaving only a bit of
himself in his digimon form.
He didn't know why but he drifted to his little brother, while he was
invisible to everyone else Sam could still see himself... silently he walked to
Ken.
'Kenny-boy' he thought sadly, he missed his brother and he was very
afraid of what would happen if Ken rejected him if he found out he was still
alive. Soon he stood behind his brother, from here he could see how tensed
up Ken was.
Sam frowned and not knowing why placed his arms around his
brother in a hug sending him comfort by touch, in his arms he felt Ken relax
slightly.
"Your never alone Kenny-boy, I'll always watch you," Sam whispered
into Kens ear, he had said it just enough for Ken to hear... and only Ken. It
was then that he felt his other part launch its attack at the same time as
everyone else did, he smiled slightly as he saw the golden glow of his
digimon attack help force Daemon into the portal.
"Close it now Ken, everything depends on that gate closing," he
whispered again, Ken seemed to relax in his arms more and somehow closed
the dark gate.
"I have to go now Kenny-boy, but I'll be your guardian angel as much
as I can," Sam whispered as he felt himself being tugged back to his other
half, then once again he found himself as an exausted nekomon laying
hidden on the rooftop.
***
Ken gasped and spun around as soon as he closed the gate, during that
time he had felt as if someone who loved him greatly had hugged him. He
had felt himself relax in the feel of those arms, the only person he had felt
when hugged was Sam. What confused him more was that he was sure that
he had heard Sams voice, but that was impossible... wasn't it.
'Could Sam really be watching me... I think he said something like that,
it wsa almost like he was guiding me' Ken thought, seeing nothing behind
him he sighed depressed.
"Ken-chan, are you alright?" a familliar voice asked, Ken turned
around and gently picked up his digital partner.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said hiding his sigh, he had hoped to see Sam when
he turned but he knew that Sam had died two years ago.
'If you are watching me Sam I hope I haven't dissapointed you so far,
but I'll make you proud' Ken thought, he then joined the others as they all
wondered where that golden light had come from that had helped them.
***
Sam sighed as he sadly watched the night sky and its shining sky, he
was exausted from tonights events yet found he couldn't go to sleep. During
the battle he had been able to get so close to his brother, yet he had been
more a spirit then... he wanted to actually hug Ken and comfort him.
At the moment the blue haired fourteen year old was sitting on a
swing in the local park nears Kens home, he looked at his hands.. they were
the same as they had been as a kid as Sam yet now they felt different... he
didn't know why though.
"Oh Ken, why does everything have to be so difficult," he whispered
but he knew Ken hadn't heard him, and then for the first time in years
counting the time he had been Ranma he began to cry... cry for all he had
lost as Sam and wanted back.
"Momma, poppa," he whispered as he cried, how he wanted his family.
For years he had lived with a Genma and sometims Nodoka, but they hadn't
been like a real family.... he wanted his real family.
'But I'm dead to my family, but at least I can do is look after Ken' Sam
thought once he was done crying, wiping away his tears the lone
digidestened headed to where he was staying the night.
***
The morning sun shone through Kens window, Wormmon yawned as
he slowly woke up. Opening his eyes he saw that Ken had already left for
school, the insect digimon sighed knowing that he would be bored with
nothing to do.
He scuttled to the sliding glass door that led to Ken balcony, using his
sticky thread attack he managed to get it to open. Quickly he went outside
and looked at the bustling city below, it was then that his eyes saw
something green nearby.
If he remembered right it was a large park Ken had taken him to a
couple times, he smiled realizing that it was a short was away and it
wouldn't take long to get there.
'I better close the balcony door though, his mother might get worried
if its open if she comes into Kens room' Wormmon thought, using more sticky
thread he got the door closed and started down the side of the building.
***
Sam smiled as he sat down beside as small pond, it was a beautiful
day and since Ken was at school he could enjoy himself. He had slept well
after his cry, it had felt as if he had released some of his fear.
'I still have quite a few hours till Kens gets out of school and gets
togeather with the other digidestened, I wonder what else I can do besides
relax like this' Sam thought with a light smile, it was then that he heard a
sound behind him and he turned his head to look.
'Not good, not good at all' Sam thought his face going pale, he knew
that of all people that this person had the best chance of reconizing him...
other then a few other people.
***
Wormmon felt himself freeze to the spot as the the person by the
pond turned to look at him, he heart skipped a beat when he reconized this
person. Fear made him swaet slightly, he had met this person once before
but he knew that this person should of been dead two years ago.
"Osamu," he whispered softly and fearfully, he had met this blue
haired teen once when Ken had taken him to the digital world... a week
before the blue haired boy died if he remembered right.
"Ano kako no kanashii ga ano mirai no nigotteiru," the boy whispered
but wormmon understood what the boy said, he had said ' The past is
sorrowful but the future is not clear.'
"Osamu your dead, why are you here... are you a spirit of some type?"
Wormmon asked with a frowned, he wondered though because Osamu had
died when he was twelve and he looked fourteen now.
"I wish I was dead wormmon then I wouldn't be sad and wish I could
go home, I died to everyone so I have no home. You could say that I did die
in a way, yet I was also reborn... and for the last time call me Sam like Ken
always did," Osamu said sadly, slowly Wormmon walked up to the blue
haired boy with glasses and touched him.
"Why haven't you told Ken your alive your death hurt him so much,
he would love to see you again?" Wormmon asked, he instantly regretted it
when he saw pain flash across Sams face.
"I died to him remember so I couldn't hurt him by saying I was alive
all this time, anyway I wasn't able to come back till just recently," Sam said
sadly, Wormmon looked at Sams face and noticed how exausted he looked.
"Where have you been?" he asked the teen, Sam sighed and walked
over to a shadowed area.
"I can't tell you, you wouldn't understand.... but maby one day I'll tell
you," Sam whispered, Wormmon blinked and then gasped in surprise.
"Sam... come back," he whispered and then he sighed, Sam had
vanished but he now knew Kens brother was alive and it hadn't been a
dream... but he wondered how Sam had vanished so quickly.
***
Beautiful sorrowful blue eyes watched the bug digimon wonder off,
with a sigh Sam walked out of the shadows letting himself be seen. To vanish
he had used one of the forbidden techniques he had learned as Ranma, he
hated to use it... but he couldn't allow Wormmon to ask anymore questions.
"Forgive me Wormmon, but its best if I stay in the shadows and dead
to those I care for," he wispered sadly, swiftly he changed into Nekomon and
feeling curious he headed in the direction the insect digimon had gone.
