A Digital Revolution
(Shounen Kakumei Ken)
Written by: Taichi-chan (me!) ^_^
Inspired by the music, costumes and anime of "Revolutionary Girl Utena"
Characters from "Digimon Adventure 02" and "Digimon Tamers"
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or Revolutionary Girl Utena. They belong to their proper owners. ^_^
This is the author speaking, thank you so much for the reviews. Sorry, that the first chapter was rushed. I have revised it. I was so excited about posting this. ^^; I made a few changes for the school that Ken and Yolei are attending. I decided to change the name of the academy to "White Rose Academy" or "Shiroi Bara" instead of Othori Academy. If I had stuck with Othori, then this would sound like "Digimon meets Utena" instead of a fusion fanfiction.
Otherwise, enjoy and please review! ^_^

Let's live our lives heroically,
let's live them with style.
Even if the two of us
are ever torn apart . . .
. . . take my revolution
In the sunlit garden,
we both joined our our hands.
Drawing close for comfort,
we both swore:
Never again would
we ever fall in love.
I see that photo of us smiling,
standing cheek to cheek.
I look at it and a bit of
loneliness starts to fill me
Even if I dream, even if I cry,
even if I get hurt . . .
. . . reality keeps
on coming recklessly.
I wanna find out where I am,
the value of being me.
Gonna take who
I've been up till now . . .
. . . and find the strength
to throw it all away.
Strip down to nothing at all.
Become like a rose petal
blowing free!
Even if the two of us
are ever torn apart . . .
. . . I swear that I
will change the world

Chapter 2: The First Day of School
The next morning, Yolei was wide-awake for her first day of school at the White Rose Academy. In her bedroom, she got dressed in her school uniform, and was ready to go. She quickly ran downstairs near the entrance while her ladies-in-waiting were waiting for her.
"Are you nervous?" asked Sora.
"Well, not much. I don't want anyone to stare at me while arrive." she said.
"Don't be nervous Yolei! This is your first day as a middle school student. You will be fine." said Mimi while patting her on the shoulder.
"Well, let's go." added Kari.
At the other kingdom, Ken was awaked by Joe in his bedroom. Then at breakfast:
"Your highness?"
"Yes, what is it Joe?"
"Your first day of school is today. It is a tradition that you should be noticed. It is an easier way to find you." said Joe.
Joe went to the wardrobe and took out Sam's black school uniform; it was so clean that it looked new.
"Alright, I'll put this uniform on."
"Your brother would be proud of you."
Ken nodded and heading for his chambers so he could changed.
Tai, Matt, Izzy, along with Davis were wearing identical teal uniforms. They were waiting for Ken to be ready for school.
"Dude! I look cool, Kari will notice me!" said Davis while showing off his uniform to the older boys.
"Davis, we're wearing the same uniforms. So, don't try to press your luck." said Matt.
"I'm ready to go." said Ken, he looked a bit nervous.
"Why are you wearing black?" asked Tai.
"Joe says it is the only way for you guys to notice me when there is trouble."
"Joe is overly protective. He's still worried about the Digital Revolutionary Wars with the Kaiser, but that is history." said I.
"I know, let's go." said Ken. All of the boys headed off for school.
The academy was located in between the two kingdoms. The entire campus was enormous that it reached out for miles. It was indeed beautiful, with its emerald green fields, a sturdy clock tower, and wonderful building structures that seem a bit European. Yolei and the girls walking were the greenhouse was located.
"This place has a big swimming pool, a whole grassy area for outside sports, and tennis courts!" said Mimi with awe.
"Look at this!" yelled Sora. She pointed at the greenhouse.
All of the girls went to the greenhouse window. Inside was a huge, beautiful garden filled with colorful roses, lilies, tulips and all assortments of flowers.
"All of those flowers are so pretty, especially the roses," said Mimi. "Who's that cute guy?"
"What cute guy?" asked Sora.
Mimi pointed at the window, there was a blonde haired boy watering the plants.
"That's Michael, the one that I'm engaged to." said Yolei.
"Yolei, you should choose whatever guy you want." sighed Kari.
"Hey guys! Look over here!" shouted Mimi while she ran off.
The girls ran to the athletic activities building and peeked through the window.
"A sword duel!" said Yolei.
"Who is the guy wearing the black uniform?" asked Mimi.
"There 's Davis, trying to impress Kari again." said Sora with a unsatisfied expression on her face.
"Davis tries too much. He's not good with fencing nor sword dueling. " said Kari.
"Let me see! Let me see!" squeaked Yolei.
Yolei couldn't see anything while Sora, Mimi, and Kari was looking at the window.
Inside was a big dueling stadium, everyone was there. Tai and Matt were sitting in the bleachers watching Ken and Davis fighting with rapier-style swords.
"Tai, you shouldn't bet with Ken, he's really good." said Matt.
"Neither Ken or I bet. I just told him to make Davis a total fool of himself. I told Davis that Kari likes boys who can duel, and Ken's not outstanding swordsmen." said Tai.
"That's harsh, but clever." chuckled Matt.
"I can't attack you if you keep running away from the sword." said Ken while attempting to attack Davis with his sword.
"I thought you said that Ken isn't good in fencing. But, he's fast and he's trying to kill me!" shouted Davis.
He was covering his eyes while swinging his sword in mid-air.
"I give up!"
Everyone cheered, Tai and Matt were laughing. As for the girls, they finished watching from the window.
"He's cute! Such handsome amethyst eyes!" said Mimi.
"But he's young, he's not my type." said Sora.
"Yolei can have him, I don't need three boys trying to impress me." said Kari.
"Who are you talking about?" pondered Yolei.
"That one, with the midnight blue hair in the black uniform." said Mimi while she pointed.
Yolei gawked at the boy that the girls were talking about, it was Ken.
"That's him, the boy I told you about! It's Ken!" shouted Yolei.
"Ken? Here?" said Kari, "I thought he lived in the other kingdom, I guess that he chose this school is because it closer to his home."
"Why is he wearing that black uniform? Isn't teal the color of the boy's school uniform?" asked Sora.
"Black is his favorite color?" shrugged Mimi.
Yolei looked a bit puzzled. Ken was going to the same school as she was.
"Should I say "Hello" to him? But, I'm too nervous to go up to him." she thought.
It was sunset and outside of the academy gates. Ken along with Tai, Matt and Izzy were talking about his humorous duel against Davis Motomiya.
"Davis can't even fight, even if he ever gets into a duel. He'll probably give up." said Ken. "That is way we duel, to prepare ourselves."
"Since the last Digital Revolutionary War, the Kaiser's warriors lost." said Tai.
"Let's not talk about that. Think about the ball coming up in the castle tomorrow night," Said Matt. "Soon we'll be dancing with beautiful ladies and ask one of them to be my girlfriend!"
Ken laughed and said, "Honestly, I think that all of the girls will ask you to be their boyfriend, maybe their future husband."
"Very funny." said Matt sarcastically.
"Well, we better get back to the castle, you know how Joe gets when we're late." said Izzy.
"You guys try to keep Joe from worrying too much, I'll stay here." said Ken.
The three gentlemen left and Ken decided to stay and watch the sun setting the warm colored sky.
He heard the sound of footstep coming towards him and it was Yolei.
"Ken?" she uttered.
"Yolei?" Ken gasped and turned around. He saw the lavender-haired girl, her hazel eyes glazed upon the young lad with curiosity and delight.
"I didn't know that you're going to the same school as me!" she said.
"I didn't know that either." said Ken.
"This is great! We get to see each other again! I can't believe it! Are you going to the ball that the prince is holding at his palace?" asked Yolei ecstatically.
"Well, you see, I might be there helping out. You can meet me there." said Ken.
"Okay." agreed Yolei. She had a cheerful grin on her face.
"Good-bye Yolei, I must go." said Ken, and then he left.
Yolei watched the sun going down into the horizon, and then a familiar face appeared.
"Yolei? Why are you doing here?" asked the blonde boy. It was Michael, the boy that he was engaged to.
"Michael?"
"You should be in the palace." he said.
"Sora, Mimi and Kari went, I told them that I was meeting someone here."
"I hope that someone is me, because if it isn't, I hope you didn't kiss him." said Michael.
"I didn't Michael."
"Remember, you are mine. We're engaged, you are my rose bride." he said angrily. He violently shook her by the arms.
"I got to go home, good bye Michael." said Yolei while she got away from Michael's grip.
Yolei ran to the entrance of the academy, and spotted the red limo where the three girls were inside waiting for her.
At the academy gates, Michael was pondering.
"That blue-haired boy that I overheard people talking about, he's seeing my Yolei, I must challenge him to win my rose bride back!"
Next Chapter: The Surprises at the Ball
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
Embrace me with your arms so true
The key to open up tomorrow is reality.
I want to keep destroying lies...
As long as all we're doing is talking,
you won't ever see anything at all.
The guy I want to know is annoying,
he wants me to misunderstand him.
Excuses really suit adults
who hang on to old stories.
Unchosen angels
have no need for wings.
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
I'll like the me of tomorrow.
At least I believe so; I want to believe,
I want to keep hating lies.
