Disclaimer: I don't own digimon or any of that crap. I'm doing this for fun, not for money. I could say a whole ton of other crud, but I want to go on.

This is the second chapter of the DigiSword. Please R&R, but no flames.

Last Chapter: Kari had more dreams of the dark ocean. And she begged T.K. to not get involved with this? Oooo, kind of a strange cliffhanger. O well, onward!

The DigiSword

Chapter Two: An Old Power Emerges

~*~Flashback~*~

TK and Kari were flying out of the Dark Ocean. Kari was being carried by Angewomon, and TK was riding Pegasusmon.

"Thanks for coming after me, TK," said Kari. "I really appreciate it."

"It's okay, Kari," he answered. "I know you'd do the same for me."

"Hey TK."

"Yeah?"

"Remember this morning when you said you really cared for me? What did you mean by that?"

"Oh. Um.well.you know."

Kari giggled at this. "Well you know what, TK? I really care about you too."

TK and Kari looked at each other, and smiled.

~*~end flashback~*~

TK was thinking of this as he walked to school the next day. He did really care for Kari, and he knew she cared for him as well. But something was definitely wrong.

"Hey TK!" came a voice.

"Hi Yolei," he answered.

"Hey, why are you looking so down?" asked Yolei. "You look like you've just gotten dumped by a girl."

"Yolei, you know I don't have a girlfriend," laughed TK. His spirits were a tad lightened.

"Yolie! TK!" yelled Davis when they got to school. "Come on! We're gonna be late!"

"Class, I'd like you to meet our new student," said the homeroom teacher. "This, as you probably know, is Ken Ichijouji."

"I am pleased to be here," said the dark purple haired boy.

"Please take a seat next to that brown haired boy with goggles on."

"Nice of you to finally come to Odaiba," said Davis. "Now we can really hang out."

"Mmhmm. So, what's the story on the digital world?" asked Ken.

"Same old, same old," sighed Davis. "Ever since MaloMyotismon, everything's been pretty quiet."

Kari listened in on the conversation. "Not for me," she thought. TK looked at her with concern.

Return to become our queen.

Those words kept repeating in Kari's mind. She would ask Ken about the dark ocean later.

BRRRINGG.

The bell to last period had rung. "KEN!" yelled Kari, running after him.

"Hey Kari, what's going on?" asked Ken.

"Ken, I have to know. Did you have any experiences with the dark ocean lately?"

"No, I haven't. But, you."

"KARI! KEN!" Ken was interrupted by Davis. "Come on! Everyone else is waiting in the computer lab."

"Crap, we were supposed to go today, weren't we?" frowned Kari. "Sorry I forgot. Let's go."

"About time," huffed Yolei when the two got there. "You two weren't doing anything, were you?"

Ken and Kari blushed. Davis saw this, and TK had to hold him back from killing Ken.

"Geez, Davis. It's a joke," muttered TK.

Cody laughed. "Okay, the gang's all here. Now, can we go?"

"Right! Digiport Open!" yelled Yolei, holding up her D-3. Nothing happened. "Huh? Digiport OPEN!" Still nothing happened. "THE GATE'S BEING BLOCKED!"

"Something awful must've happened there," gasped Kari.

Indeed it has.a voice said.

"Who said that?" cried Kari and Ken together.

"Who said what?" asked Davis.

"Kari, Ken, are you okay?" asked Cody.

"I sense something," thought TK. "I sense something.evil."

"Guys, I think we'd better be on our way home," said TK.

"But we just got here!" retorted Davis. "Can't we ju-"

"Zip it, Motimiya!" yelled TK. "Kari and Ken are hearing voices. Dark voices! Can you think of what this might be?"

Davis and Cody stared at him confused, but Yolei knew what he was talking about. "I agree. We should go home," she nodded.

"Hi TK!" yelled Patamon when they got out of the school. "So, no trip today?"

"Nah, the gate's blocked," sighed TK. "Come on, Patamon. I've got to talk to Kari about something."

He waited a few seconds for Kari to come out. "Hey Kari. That voice you heard."

"Huh?" she asked.

"That voice. You and Ken were the only who heard it. I can only think of one place where it might've come from."

"TK, you don't mean."

"The Dark Ocean, Kari. I'm pretty sure those creepy Scubamon are after you again. Ken is the only other one compatible with hearing those voices."

"TK." He put both his hands on her shoulders. "TK, I don't want you involved. I care too much about you."

"And I you, Kari. But this is beyond both of us. I just want you to watch yourself, and I'll still take care of you as well as I can."

"Thanks, TK," she smiled. "Hold on. We've defeated all our enemies, right?"

"Er, yeah," TK answered. "They're all destroyed. Wait, no they're not. One was trapped in the Dark Ocean! I can't believe Daemon's back."

"Me neither, TK. This is much more dangerous than I first imagined."

"How'd he get enough power to escape?"

"I don't think he's escaped yet," said Kari. "He needs more power. If my guess is correct, my power."

"And you still don't want me to help," sighed TK. "I'm still looking out for you, Kari. This won't be easy." She nodded, and then threw herself into TK's arms.

"What's this for?" he asked.

"For being my friend," she smiled. "I feel lucky to have you as my best friend, TK. No one can replace you." TK smiled.

"Thanks. I feel the same about you, Kari." Kari laughed, kissed TK on the cheek, and ran home.

"Did I just see what I think I saw?" asked Patamon.

"I think she just kissed me," said TK, blushing. "I just hope she can resist the darkness. Daemon is a powerful foe."

Meanwhile, Daemon stared through a black orb at the children of Hope and Light. "Her power is immense," he laughed. "If I can bring her to me, then I will gather enough power to escape the Dark Ocean!"

"My liege," started a Scubamon. "Shall I bring her to you? We Scubamon have done it before, you know?"

"Yess," hissed Daemon. "Bring her! I will have your power, Hikari Kamiya. You cannot resist! And once I escape, I will have my revenge, Ken Ichijouji!"

To be continued.

*Another lame ending. Oh well. The next chapter will be better, this one took longer than the first, but my spelling still kinda sucks.
