~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miyako laid down on her bed, Keroline and Acara sleeping on the floor with Kaiser and Ryan. They were on different sides of the room, so Keroline and Kaiser couldn't kill Ryan and Acara. Miyako just wanted to sleep. Her mind was reeling, so she was dizzy. She curled up in a ball, and closed her eyes, nearly crying. Ken sat beside her on the bed, placing a hand on her shoulder. Miyako started to feel a little bit better, having someone who cared. Hawkmon was in her arms, hugging her tightly.
" Are you going to be alright?" Ken asked softly. Miyako looked up at Ken tiredly.
" Maybe. Mom's getting detoxified somewhere. I'm not sure what's going to happen......." She whispered in an answer, her eyes closed again. Ken nodded.
" Wormmon and Hawkmon will keep you safe, and I'm just about a foot away if you need me. Don't be afraid to ask for help, okay?" Ken explained, getting up. Miyako nodded. Ken bent down and gave Miyako a small kiss on the forehead, then climbed into bed, shutting off the light. Kaiser and Keroline were all snuggled up together, while Acara and Ryan were the same on the other side. Miyako slowly drifted off into sleep, sighing a bit. Ken watched pretty much all night, just to make sure she was not pulled into the very depths of the Dark Ocean.
In the morning, Miyako was awoken by Ken lightly sitting down beside her. She kept her eyes closed, while he put his hand on her shoulder and leaned down to whisper.
" Miyako, you may not be able to hear me, but I love you, and no matter what happens, I'll protect you. From this day forth, 'till the day we die, I shall protect you with my life." Ken got up, and then left the room, going to change. Everyone else was gone out of the room. Ken came back in, and Miyako was already changed, making her bed. Ken smiled. She was wearing a blue tank top, with a dark blue light jacket hanging loosely and open on her shoulders. Her light blue jean shorts and some white socks finished the look. She smiled up at Ken, looking over him once or twice.
" New look, eh Ken?" She laughed, blushing. Ken blushed red, looking down at his feet. He was wearing a white muscle shirt, some black jean shorts, some black socks, and a long chain with dog tags hanging off of it. It was like a choker around his neck, then the chain came down from the front. It had 2 dog tags on it, and one sword symbol at the very end. His hair was brushed downwards, so to hide one new bruise from yesterday. Ken looked back up at Miyako, and smiled a little bit. She smiled a bit as well. Ken escorted Miyako to the kitchen, where they all pigged out on pancakes.
" Ken, Miyako, I hate to say this, but I got a distress code from the Digital World, somewhere in the desert. It was a very weak transmission of energy. Should we follow it?" Acara mentioned, wiping her mouth. Keroline nodded.
" I think so. The digital world is still freakishly cold." Keroline stated, remembering the frosty coldness of the desert near the ruins. Ryan nodded.
" Alright, then it is settle. We shall go find the owner of the distress call. Miyako finished her pancakes, drinking a whole glass of milk. Robert walked in the room, and whispered in Ken's ear, handing him something behind a towel. Ken nodded, and tucked the item under his shirt, in his belt. Hooking it on to something, Ken smiled a little bit. Robert left the room. Ken sighed, cracking his knuckles after inhaling his pancakes.
" Okay, let's go. " Kaiser laughed, leaping up, clearing the table like lightning. Ken rolled his eyes. This was going to be another long day.....
When they entered the desert, it was still cold. Keroline and Kaiser seemed to
be low on energy, but still alert. Miyako shivered a little bit, sticking close
to Ken. She held onto his arm tightly, looking around in the dark desert. A
little voice came from around the area.
" Somebody..... Please, help me......" Ken looked around, Keroline and Kaiser calling out loudly.
" Say more! Where are you?!?" They shouted, digging through the sand. The voice called out again.
" I'm here, in the sand, please, help me!" It was getting fainter. Keroline dug
like crazy, homing in on the voice. Keroline's hand came into contact with
another hand. Keroline grabbed the pale hand, and pulled up violently. Out came
a humanoid. It was a young kid, with bluish black hair, wearing a grade 3
Tamachi uniform, which was a white button up shirt and black pants, with some
black shoes. The kid had huge violet blue eyes. Keroline let go of the kid's
hand, and stood to her full height, looking down at the kid.
" You sent the message?" Keroline asked, helping the kid onto his feet. The poor little guy was crying. Ken looked stunned for some reason. The kid sniffled, and looked up admiringly at Keroline.
" Thank you, miss. Yes, I sent the message. I didn't think anyone would hear me......." The kid was starting to calm down, wiping his eyes a few times. Ken walked over with the others, and kneeled down in front of the kid.
" What's your name?" He asked, keeping a tone, not an angry tone, but a tone that wanted you to trust him. The kid sniffed.
" Ken. Ken Ichijouji. I'm 8 years old." Ken's eyes flew wide open.
" Your from my past, aren't you?" Ken asked, standing up, staring down at the kid. Little Ken shrugged.
" Gee, I dunno, sir, but when I woke up, I was buried in the sand." Ken nodded. A yell of anger came from behind them, and a wide portal opened up in the sky. 3 young children came tumbling onto the ground in front of the group, while 3 older people came out. The portal closed, and all were left stunned. Out of the 3 kids, only one was a girl. She was tall for her age of at least 12, with long black hair down to her mid-back, with giant caramel eyes, with big glasses like Miyako's. She was wearing some blue over-alls, a white T-shirt, and some red sneakers. Around her neck was the rose, only it was brighter. Then there was what looked like an 8 year old boy, with purple short hair and big violet eyes. He was wearing an orange T-shirt and some red shorts, with some blue and green sneakers. They looked like siblings.
" Whoa......" Kaiser muttered, staring. But, that wasn't all that was going on. The 3 older people were fighting wildly, 2 against one. The first male looked strangely familiar. He had chin length blue black hair, and violet eyes. He was wearing a black vest with many needles and silver stakes on it. A long black trench coat held a sword at the back of the neck. He had black pants on, with even more needles and stakes on it. Black gloves, and army boots also came with the look. He was fighting wildly, much like Ken would, fangs bared like a wild animal. Fighting alongside him was a woman with long purple hair, caramel eyes, and a scar running down from under her chin to her chest. She also had fangs, and was wearing the same thing Miyako had been wearing, except with more weapons. She was using the samurai sword along side a knife.
" Looks familiar...." Keroline muttered, glancing between Ken and Miyako, then at the other 2 humans. The last creature that had come out of the portal was uglier then ever. It had a bull's head, armor, 2 broadswords, and a fire breath attack that it used frequently. The 2 adults couldn't get close enough to attack. The male leapt up into the air, the 2 children watching worriedly. The male used his sword, and landed right on the monster, jabbing it into it's massive shoulder. The female's eyes went all white, the sky darkened, and the when the male pulled his sword out of the monster and leapt off, a lightning bolt came down and struck it right on the mark. The monster fell dead to the ground, smoking, it's body charred. The children whooped and cheered, jumping up and down. The group ran up to the people, including little Ken, and stopped in front of them.
" Um, hi? Um, we'd like to know who you are." Kaiser asked, staring up at the 6'8 male. He looked down, and smirked.
" My name is Ken, this is my lovely wife Miyako, and those are our 2 kids, Akaimia and Wayne. And you?" Ken groaned along with Miyako, and they both fainted, not believing the truth.
