My writers block vanished for this story again, so here is the next chapter
for all you fans. If you notice Sams finally having a personality breakdown,
you can tell from the way he acts in his dreams.
Digital Destinies
By firehedgehog
Chapter Sixteen
He was running... running, the dark tunnel he was in never seemed to
end. Ahead of him he could see Ken his little brother, Ken was standing still
but the tunnel kept on getting longer.
Sam turned to look back and gasped, he was at the end of the tunnel...
he hadn't moved an inch in trying to get to Ken.
"Ken!" he cried his chest tight, the blue haired reached out a hand as if
he could reach his sibling. Ken looked at him over the distance his blue eyes
sad, then he shook his head a soft smile on his face.
"Sam I'm not as far away as you think, don't give up.... after all this is
just a dream," Ken pointed out, Sam actually sweatdropped in his dream...
dream Ken was right.
"But how can I tell the real Ken who I am, how can I tell him that
Nekomon is... well me?" he cried, he fell to the dream ground tears in his
eyes. Suddenly he felt someone in front of gim, he looked up and gasped in
shock.
"Be true to yourself Sam, you must do that before you can reveal the
truth," the person said, it was himself... or more acurtly his digital form
Nekomon.
"How can I be true to myself, half the time I don't know who I am. I
was Sam, then Ranma, then Sam again... and then fifty percent of the time
I'm Nekomon or one of nekomons other forms," he cried, the cat digimon
smiled and the dream began to fade away.
"I can't tell you that Sam.... I'm just part of your conciousness, you
must figure it out yourself," Nekomon said, Sam bit his lip nervously.
"Hey be brave Sam, you've lived through demi-gods trying to kill
you.... you'll live through this," a new yet very familliar voice said, started
Sam turned to see Ranma.... a part of his personality that was courages yet
not the smartest.
"I hope I can, but please tell me I don't have multiple split
personalities now?" he asked the two, Nekomon and Ranma grinned at him.
"Don't worry you don't, just your unconcious mind made your thoughts
look like this... were just yourself giving you advice that you should already
know," Ranma said, the dream was almost totally faded now.
"Thank goodness," he said in relief, he stood up and smiled slightly.
"When you wake up you'll be in your digimon in-training form, you
lost too much energy in that battle.... don't forget your name is Konekomon in
that form," Nekomon said cheerfully, Sam blinked at these words as the
dream ended.

Blue eyes opened and blinked, the owner of these eyes yawned his
mouth showing small white fangs that all cats had. Looking around still half
asleep Konekomon noticed that he was alone where ever he was, he
sweatdropped reconizing where he was.
'I'm in Kens hotel room, he must of brought me here after I passed
out' he thought, looking towards the window he estimated that it was near
noontime.
"Good, your awake," a female voice said, startled the small digimon
yelped and spun around. He saw that gatomon had entered the room, he had
been so occupied in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed her.
"Uh huh, is there any food about... I feel I could eat a horse," he said
truthfully, he had to stop himself from wincing at how cute his voice
sounded.
"Follow me, Ken should have something good about," Gatamon said,
happily Konekomon followed the champion from the room at the thought of
food.
***
Owikawa growled in anger, they had almost captured Nekomon... but
once again the blasted Destined children and there partners had gotten in
the way.
'Damn them, if they hadn't interfered I would of had a great power to
control at my fingertips' he thought grinding his teeth, sure he had the two
digimon lackeys to control and the control spire digimon. Then there were
his dark powers, but he wanted to control Nekomons power.
'The power to digivolve at will and to heal when healing should be
impossible, Noriko should of died.... I must have that power' Owikawa
thought, inside him unknown to him an evil entity also wanted Nekomon... it
could use that power in other ways.
"Mummymon, Arukenimon, spread out through the city with the
control spire digimon.... capture Nekomon at all costs," he yelled angerly, the
two digimon in there human gruises nodded and ran... they didn't want to be
near him while he was in this mood.
'I'll get Nekomon , even if I have to destroy the city to get him' he
thought, inside his mind his last bits of sanity began to slip away. Darkness
and evil had a way of doing that to you, it was only time till it totally broke
and the evil inside him was in total control of him...
.....For Eternity.....

"Whats this?" Konekomon asked with great interest, he had eaten a
good breakfats and now had found a small object that smelled real nice.
"A catnip toy," Ken asked, he then sweatdropped remembering what
catnip did to cats.... it would probably react the same to digital cats.
"Niccce," Konekomon purred, he rubbed his small furred face against
it... he didn't know why but the whole world felt just great at the moment. A
part of him yelled at himself to get away from the object, but that part of
him was being blocked by the crazy like energy filling him.
"Gatomon, get that thing away from him!" Ken yelled seeing the small
digimons face become goofy, he wanted to groan... why in the world had
Yolei dropped it here thismorning anyway.
"Playtime," The in-training said happily, the blue feline ran into Kens
room... Ken quickly followed knowing that there was about to be trouble.
***
Konekomon was exausted and so was Ken, the small blue feline lay on
Kens lap a small smug smile on his face.
The catnip had given him super duper energy and Ken had barely
been able to keep up, now that he had calmed down he had to laugh....
during that time he had acted like normal in-training digimon acted.
'Note to self, never go near catnip ever again' he thought with wry
amusement, he looked around and saw that Gatomon and Wormmon had
fallen asleep at the end of Kens bed.
'It was kind of fun, but I really should be changing back to my human
form soon' Konekomon thought, it was real nice to spend time with Ken and
the other two digimon... but this wasn't right.
'Times up, time to become the watcher in the shadows again' he
thought sadly and he would stay in the shadows as a human, they wouldn't
be able to track him as Ken... and he would watch to keep the destined safe.
He leapt out of Kens lap once he was sure the three others were deep
asleep, he walked into the main room of the hotel rooms Ken family were
giving and slipped onto the balcony.
Using the ledges around the building and other objects he got to the
roof, for a brief second he felt a deep sadness... here Blackwargreymon had
stayed the night once.
'I can cry later, grief can come later' Konekomon thought blinking
tears from his eyes, he then took a deep breath and pushed the grief away
for now.
He closed his eyes and concentrated on his human form, no tingle of
changes greated him... it was the same five minutes later.
"What teh hell is going on, i should of changed by now," Konekomon
growled, at that moment a robed figure appeared in front of him... it was
seethrough so the digimon knew it was just an image.
"Sorry about the delay of this message Konekomon, I just found out
that you can't take your human form again till you digivolve to Nekomon....
your in-training formjust doesn't have the transforming abilities," Gennai
said, Konekomon growled... but it only sounded cute in this form.
"And how long will that take, as konekomon I'm defenceless... and I
can't seem to digivolvce at will?" Konekomon growled angerly, Gennai
grinned.
"Thats because your still recovering your energy from the fight last
night, I estimate that in about three hours you should return to being
Nekomon, Gennai said, Konekomon sighed in relief.
"Good, its easier being a rookie then an energetic in-training,"
Konekomon said truthfully, in this form he just wanted to play and eat... but
the catnip had been interesting.
"Good luck," Gennai said, then the robed mans image vanished.
***
After what seemed like days to teh cat digimon he finally regained
enough energy to become Nekomon, until that time he snuck away and hid
in nearby park... one alot like the one near Kens old home.
Then quickly he became Sam again, it was too risky to remain as
Nekomon when there were probably digimon still looking for his digimon
form.
"I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye Ken, but at the moment I'm just
putting you I risk by being near you," Sam whispered looking at the deep
blue sky, then using the techniques he had learned as Ranma he vanished
into the shadows.
"And I still have to find myself," floated out of nowhere, the only way
he could guard his brother was by finding himself.
***
Ken woke up with a start and looked around, he didn't know why but
for a second he could of sworn he hadfelt Sam.
"Wheres Konekomon?" Gatomon questioned also waking up, startled
Ken looked down and saw that the in-training digimon feline was gone.
"I don't know Gatomon, but I have a feeling thats hes safe wherever
he is at the moment," he told her, he frowned at the feeling but his thoughts
once again went to Sam.
'Sam where are you, I need you as a big brother. Why won't you let
me near you, and what is your connection to the strange digimon Nekomon'
he thought, witha sigh he lay down on his bed his thoughts a whirl.
All he wanted was his brother back, but if his brother really came
back into his life it would complicate his parents lives... after all how could
Sam explain that he was alive.
'Sam' he thought, still exausted from his day with Konekomon he fell
asleep.
