Blast: Yeah! I'm back! And this time, I don't have any Digidestined with me! :coughs: Damn pneumonia. Keeps attacking me. :surprised when everyone looks at her: What? No! I don't have S.A.R.S.! It is only regular pneumonia. Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon.

Blast: Hey, chie. What'ya doing here?

Drex: Let me remind you never to put me here.

Blast: Why are you here? Mai's not here, and neither is Edel.

Drex: I want to tell you that you are a total NONSENSE!

Blast: That...was weird. One of the weirdest things that happened here. Oh well, To remind you, I don't own Digimon. Toei Animation does.

CHAPTER V: DID SOMEONE ASK FOR RAMEN?

Ken and Yolei already left the Office. "Well, I think we should check on Izzy and Joe." Yolei said, breaking the silence that reigned over the two since they left the premises. "Iori said that Joe would go to their laboratory every MWF, and today is Wednesday. What do you say, Ken?"

"Works with me." Ken replied. Yolei looked at her companion.

"Ken, is something bothering you?" she asked, concern seeping through her voice.

"It's just that," Ken started. "I never knew Ayame forgave me for what I did to her those past years. I never had the chance to talk to her since she left for America after the curse was broken."

"Ken, Ayame knows that." Yolei answered. "She knows you're trying hard to change, even with the Dark Spore inside your body. She knows what you've gone through, the pain you suffered when you try to change, because she experienced it too. That's why, even though you guys never had the chance to talk to each other, she forgave you."

"I guess you're right." Ken said. His face lit up again, and he looked at Yolei. "Have you ever tried of eating ramen?"

"Yeah. Why?" Yolei asked.

"I had a sudden urge to eat ramen today. What do you say? My treat."

Ken led Yolei over a mass of people and out. They saw a noodle cart on the side of the road. They walked over to it, and took at seat on the other side of the banner. They saw a man with brunt sienna hair and brown eyes cooking ramen.

"Umm, two ramen, please." Ken requested. The man looked at them.

"Okay, then." He looked closer at Ken, then at Yolei. "You guys look familiar."

"We should say that to you!" Yolei replied. She squinted at the guy, and then it struck her. "Daisuke?!"

Ken looked at his lavender haired companion then back to the noodle cart man with deep disbelief. "Daisuke? It that you?"

"Ken?" Daisuke looked at Ken, at Yolei. "Yolei? Is that really you?" he looked even closer. "Yup. It is you. Can't miss the hair colors."

"Daisuke, you've been running a noodle cart?" Ken asked.

"You still don't believe of my dream, do you Ken?" Daisuke replied. "I wanted to have my own noodle cart, and I do mean that!"

"And I thought that was for pepping up those children." Yolei muttered. Daisuke chuckled.

"Well, it is." He replied, cooking the order. "But that really is my dream." He finished cooking and gave it to Ken and Yolei. "So, are you a couple now, or what?"

Yolei stuttered under her breath, and Ken seemed to concentrate on his bowl. "Everyone already asked that." Yolei said, managing to keep her voice clear. "And that is a 'no'."

"Everyone?"

"We already went to T.K., Kari, Iori, and Ayame. We planned on a reunion at the digiworld." Ken filled in. "We'll be there Saturday afternoon, what do you say?"

"Sounds nice." Daisuke drank a glass of water. "I'm in. I missed V-Mon."

Yolei finished her ramen. "Mmmm. Delicious." She glanced at Daisuke. "You didn't put anything in this, did you?"

"If I did, I would've been arrested." Daisuke answered. "What with Ken as a detective. But if I were lucky, I would've put something there. You know..." he added, smirking. Yolei smacked her head.

"Daisuke, I really don't know what is going on inside that thing inside your skull you call a brain." She muttered. "And I thought you could actually get better after fighting Bellavandemon."

"Well, I am better." Daisuke retorted. "But you don't seem to be changing anytime soon!"

Ken noticed Yolei's eyes were narrowing. "Yolei, we don't have time for this." Yolei relaxed a bit.

"We'll meet you at Izzy's laboratory then." Yolei said to Daisuke. "We better get going. We still have to go to the others."

"Sure." Daisuke said, smirking. "S'long Ken, Yolei."

The two were back at walking again. "You enjoyed the ramen?" Ken asked. Yolei smiled.

"Yeah, what with a clown in front of you." She replied. "Really, he hasn't changed his attitude one bit. If I were any younger, who knows what I would do to him!"

"Huh? And I thought you were young enough." Ken looked at her in mock shock.

"Ken, are you testing my temper?" Yolei asked dangerously.

"Oh, come one Yolei, can't you take a joke?" Ken said, trying his best to soothe her down.

"You just wait, Kenneth Ichijouji. I have my plans for you." Yolei replied, her lips twitching to the side humorously. Ken was laughing nervously. NO one knows what would Miyako Inoue do if she is angry in a way.

"Just don't kill me in my sleep." Ken muttered. He stopped when he saw Yolei giving him another dangerous look. "Uh, just forget it."

"Don't worry. I won't kill you while you're sleeping." Yolei answered. "Which reminds me, those stupid mechanics still have to fix my room, so I have to stay in your place for a few days."

"Sure. Need someone around during a vacation." He agreed, placing his hands on his pockets. That was one problem. The other night, while Yolei was in his bed, he was on the sofa, trying to get some rest. Unfortunately, he keeps on waking up because of hearing something from inside the bedroom. He noticed that Yolei had nightmares often. He somehow cooled her down back to sleeping peacefully before he got some shuteye, just beside her. Fortunately, he woke up a lot earlier than she did, if not, who knows what could've happened to him.

"Ken, are you alright?" Yolei asked again.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine." He replied. "Just a bit tired."

"Maybe we should go back." She decided. "We can still contact them by phone."

"Fine with me. Let's go." They went back to Ken's apartment.
