Chapter Three- Training days

      It had been three days since their trip to the digital world, everything

was the same as usual. TK still hadn't figured out that strange dream with DM

in it and it left him feeling confused, it didn't help that every night he had

been having nightmares.

      Because of his nightmares he was becoming sleep deprived, his mother had

made him stay home today to rest... it was strange that the nightmares were not

hitting him during the day.

      TK yawned as he crawled out of bed, he had slept two hours and since it

was lunchtime he headed to the kitchen. Patamon flew silently behind him also

hungry, the rookie digimon was very worried about his partner's health... this

no sleep issue was taking the blondes health down.

      "What do you want?" TK asked his partner, he got the usual response that

a digimon would give.

      "Ice cream," Patamon cheered, TK sighed.

      'Why do I even ask' he thought rolling his eyes, instead of ice cream he

made Patamon and himself some sandwiches that quickly seemed to vanish from

thin air by the hungry duo.

      "Now can I can I have some ice cream?" Patamon asked, TK gave his

partner a look but finally gave in after receiving the puppy dog look from the

rookie.

      "Yum," Patamon cheered as he gulped it down a few minutes later, TK gave

a small laugh then yawned sleepily.

      "I'm heading back to bed, if your not sleepy why don't you watch

television," he said, it was easy to see that Patamon was wide awake and there

was no reason for him to sleep also.

      "Sleep well," Patamon said flying for the TV remote, TK grinned.

      "I will," he said, he started walking back to his room still clad in his

pajamas.

      'As long as there are no nightmares' he thought, and he hoped no

nightmares would come during the day... he really needed to catch up on his

sleep.

***

      "This is so not fair," a dark voice grumbled, the owner of the dark and

very evil voice turned when he heard laughter.

      "Come on. What's wrong with him, you liked Hikari... and he is Hikari,

just a little different," the person that had laughed said, standing there was

DM... who was known as Dark Magician most of the time.

      "But he's one of them at the moment," the evil one said, DM raised an

eyebrow at this.

      "One of what?" he asked curious, the dark one growled.

      "A digidestined... one of my nemesis, one of the very people that trapped

me in the dark ocean world," the other growled angrily, DM rolled his eyes.

      "Oh get over it already Daemon, it's your task to train him in his

powers since it doesn't look like his memories are about to awaken. Anyway, we

have to start training him now before everything goes wacky in the destined

dimension," DM said, Daemon sighed and stopped growling.

      "Fine... but I liked it better when Hikari wasn't such a goodie too shoes,

he was so fun to hang with when he visited those thousands of years ago (FH=

huh... how in the world does Daemon know Hikari/TK)," Daemon said with a sigh,

he nodded to DM.

      "Don't worry, TK is a fun guy... as soon as he gets over the fact he truly

isn't human," DM said, Daemon snorted.

      "Enough chit chat dark magician, youĂ•re here to bring him to the dark

world... so do it so I can train him," he growled, DM nodded.

      "Be ready to catch him, as it is I'm going to have to give him energy

because those nightmare memories are keeping him from sleeping," DM said,

taking a deep breath he closed his eyes and concentrated his powers to bring

TK to the dark ocean world.

***

      TK woke to the sound of a buzzer, sapphire eyes opened with sleepy

annoyance. With a yawn he crawled out of bed and pretty much sleep walked

towards the sound, he sighed realizing that it led to the speaker by the front

wall... that meant someone he knew wanted in the main door.

      "Yeah?" he questioned pressing the speak button, he yawned silently as

he waited for the persons answer.

      "Hi TK, its Kari and the other new destined. We brought your homework

from school, can you let us in?" a very familiar female voice said, TK blinked

recognizing it in his tired mind.

      "Sure, I'll let you in," he said in a voice that clearly said he was

sleep deprived, as it was they had disturbed a great nap he had been having.

      He then pressed a button and heard a buzzing noise through the speaker,

he smiled knowing that the door downstairs had unlocked for them.

      "It'll be nice to have some visitors," TK said after turning off the

speaker, he then turned to see Patamon a very amused look in his emerald green

eyes.

      "Soooo," Patamon drawled out amused, TK blinked.

      "So what?" he asked confused, his partner gave him a very evil smile...

unknown too many Patamon had a very evil sense of humor.

      "So are you going to meet them at the door in your pajamas?" Patamon

said, TK's blue eyes widened and his face paled.

      He had totally forgotten he was only in his Pajamas, he would never live

it down if they saw him in them.

      "Crap," he swore (FH= TK swore, wow he really needs to sleep if he does

that... I'm such an evil author), he then ran high speed to his room to change

into something... a lot less embarrassing.

      "I love doing that to him," Patamon giggled, he then went back to being

the nice digimon he usually was.

***

      Kari felt relief as TK opened the door to his mothers and his own

apartment, she frowned slightly noticing that he was paler then usual and had

dark circles under his eyes.

      "Wow, looks like you just rose from the dead," Davis said suddenly,

everyone glared at the gogglehead for his totally uncalled for remark.

      "Thanks," TK said dryly, Davis only grinned under there combined glares.

      "Looks like you just climbed out of bed," Cody said and it did, TK's

clothing looked like they had just been thrown on and were rumpled and his

blond hair looked like a haystack... really in the need of brushing.

      "Actually, I kinda just did," TK said in a sheepish voice, they all

grinned at him and wondered if Davis would tease the child of hope about being

Lazy.

      "Man... looks like you need the sleep too, well are you going to invite us

in or are you going to make us just stand here all day?" Davis said with a 

grin, TK shrugged and motioned for them all to come in.

      "Well come in," TK said, Kari smiled and the group entered the

apartment.

      "Here's your homework TK, thankfully the teachers didn't give out much

and I made sure to take notes for you," Kari said passing him a small package

of papers, he smiled a smile that friends always gave... yet she wished there

was something more then friendship hinted in that smile.

      "Thanks," he said taking them, she gave a silent sigh and wished that he

thought the same way about her as she did him.

      "Hey, what's that smell?" Veemon asked suddenly, the small blue creature

was still on his partners shoulder but he was sniffing the air (What a cute

picture, send me fanart please).

      "I don't smell anything?" TK asked confused, Veemon blinked then jumped

to the floor. He then ran through the apartment, curious everyone followed... TK

after he put the papers down the papers.

      "The bathroom," Kari said, Veemon had stopped in front of the closed

door to the bathroom.

      "Weird," TK said, he slipped in front of group and opened the door.

      Then it happened.

***

      "Got him," DM said grinning, in front of him was a glowing black portal

that connected the dark ocean world and the real world.

      "Well, bring him in," an impatient Daemon said, DM glared at him then

turned to the portal.

      "I am, geeze you have no patience," Dm said rolling his eyes, he then

snagged a hand through the portal... and grabbed.

***

      TK's eyes opened at what he saw in his bathroom, a glowing black portal.

He shivered at the vibes it gave off... it could only lead to one place, the

dark ocean world.

      "How in the world," he said confused, he had no idea how it had formed

here of all places. But he couldn't but shiver at one thought, what if it was

connected to his strange dreams he had been having.

      He never got a chance to think further, suddenly something whipped out

of the portal and grabbed... he never got a chance to scream as he was pulled

through the portal.

***

      "TK!" everyone screamed, one second there friend had been there... the

next he was gone and the portal to the dark ocean world vanished in a flash of

black light.

      "Matt is going to kill us," Yolei said and it was true, who else could

he blame for letting his little brother get kidnapped.

***

      TK woke up slowly, his head hurt and felt as if a jackhammer had been

used against him repeatedly.

      "Headache... let me fix that," a voice said, he felt slim fingers touch

his temples and the pain was gone... and to his amazement he fell energized and

for the first time in days not tired.

      "Huh," he said confused, he blinked and looked up to the owner of the

voice.

      "DM," he said surprised, standing in front of him was the person from

the dream. He pinched himself hoping this was still a dream, but the pain from

pinching proved this was all too real.

      "Hello TK, I know this was abrupt... but its time for you to start

training," DM said, TK blinked and got to his feet.

      "Training for what?" he asked, all this was confusing... and how in the

world could a dream become real.

      "For something in the future, and if you don't train there's a good

chance you will end up stone cold dead," DM said, TK shivered at the images

those choice words gave him.

      "What kind of training?" he asked cautiously.

      "First a few weapons of the magical nature, then some magic... and there

are many things you need to learn," DM said, TK sat down with a thump... this

was definitely not how he'd thought he'd spend the day.

      "This is so weird, anyway... who in the world is training me?" he asked

curious, suddenly the blond felt a shiver go down his spine.

      "I'll be your teacher," a cold hard voice said, one that he had hoped to

forget entirely.

      "Daemon," he whispered, he got up and turned... standing there was the

demon mega digimon who radiated amusement.

      "Well little destined, for the next while we'll be spending a lot of

time together," Daemon said. He then began laughing evilly.

      TK gulped and hugged himself for comfort. Things didn't look too good

for him at the moment.

TBC

Well this chapter didn't have much in it, but I was busy all week and wrote

this at a moments notice... author yawns and looks at bed sleepily. I had hardly

any sleep and I'm an eight hour kind of gal, next week the destined find out

where TK is and try to rescue him (notice the try in the sentence).
