Disclaimer~ I do not own Digimon in any sort of way. If I did then I wouldn't have to go to school as much as I do now.
Me~ I am soo sooo soooooooo sorry for not updating quicker. Drama is taking up most of my time so when I get home I just want to sleep and eat.
Yama~ We have been bugging her to get going but she keeps falling asleep when I talk to her.
Tai~ Yea I know it gets really annoying.
Me~ Well here is the next chap and I am going to try and get them up faster cause this story is coming to a close in a few chaps.
Tai~ WHAT!
Me~ Yes what a wonder well onto the fic!
Dreams of Pain
Chap 17~ Sneak in Success!
Dai, Ken and Kari had just rounded another corner of the school.
"Why the hell do we need to do this again?" Hikari asked looking around another corner.
"Cause they may be wandering the halls and we don't want to get caught if they are. First they are going to want to make small conversation with us and then convert us back to their dark side." Dai explained.
"Hon I don't think they are the dark side." Ken sweat dropped.
"Well they haven't been around so why don't we just run around the school until we get to the lab and then get all secret agent like." Hikari asked looking around the corner again.
"Why don't we just stick with the plan so far? It has been working." Dai pointed out matter of factly. Hikari walked around the corner in a casual manner looking around for signs of the other digidestined. When she saw the coast was clear she signaled them to run over to the next corner. What took them 8 minutes walking took them 30 minutes sneaking around. All of them peaked their heads around the doorframe that lead into the computer lab. When they looked in no one was in there.
"So far so clear." Dai said making sure that no one was in there.
"But the gate is still open. Miyako and Iori may still be in the Digital World." Hikari whispered.
"She is right, we should wait until they get out before we go in." Ken whispered.
"I don't want to take the chance where they will be hours long. We only have a 2 week span to figure everything about before the group goes in and raids the place." Dai whispered moving into the room.
"He has a point. We do only have a few weeks so we should get moving no matter the risk. If they find us we can just say you and Dai want to see your digimon." Hikari whispered also going into the room.
"I hope this doesn't backfire on us." Ken whispered to himself before walking into the room.
"Ok the portal says they have been in the digital world for 2 and a ½ hours. Seems they started earlier then they said they where going to." Dai said reading the portal statistics.
"That means they may be getting out soon or getting close to the gate soon." Ken said looking around for traces of T.K.
"True but from what it says they are still a good distance off from us, about 2 decameters away right now. That gives us enough time to get into the digital world and hide before they get there." Dai said pointing to the distance reading.
"Yes but that records who goes in and out. If T.K comes in and sees that we went in he is going to come in after us." Hikari pointed out.
"Remember he doesn't have his digivice does he." Dai smirked typing in a few things.
"Well we are going to have to do something soon cause I can hear T.K coming." Ken said quickly looking out of the door to see the faint outline of T.K coming down the long hallway.
"We are going in. Don't need to get caught by that twit." Dai said holding his digivice to the screen before disappearing.
"Come on Ken you are next. If T.K sees me he won't suspect anything." Hikari said pushing him in front of the screen.
"Fine but you better get in there soon." Ken said imitating what Dai did before vanishing in his own trace of light.
"Ok wait a few before going in. Don't need to make it seem like I am following them in." Hikari thought to herself as she waited listening to T.K's footsteps get closer and closer.
"Ok can't take the pressure anymore I am going in." Hikari thought as she went in 3 minutes later after them.
"What the hell took you so long?" Dai almost yelled at her pulling her behind the bush they where hiding in.
"I didn't want to make it look like I was following you in so I waited. If T.K looks at the screen and sees that we went in around the same time he is going to get suspicious and question me about this." She explained.
"Yes very true. Well the others are still a little way off so we should find a new campground before they get here." Ken said sneaking away through the underbrush. They all crawled for about 5 minutes before stopping.
"Ok Ken I think we have done enough crawling." Hikari complained looking at her dirt and grass stained pants.
"Yea love, I am also getting sick of crawling. My knees are getting cut up." Dai said sitting down inspecting his knees.
"Yes I think we are far enough away to start walking. Let me look at those cuts." Ken said crawling over to Dai.
"There nothing much, just sting a bit." Dai confessed trying to hide the bloody mess that was on his leg.
"I may not be as experienced as Jou but I know that if we don't clean those they are going to get infected." Ken said looking in his backpack. After throwing a few things out he pulled out the first aid kit.
"Hold still love." He said applying the liquid disinfectant.
"That hurts!" Dai almost screamed trying to pull his leg away.
"I said it would hurt but would you rather have it infected?" Ken asked putting on a band-aid.
"Ok are we done? Remember we only have a few hours." Hikari asked standing up.
"Yes got Dai all patched up." Ken said putting the first aid kit back and the other stuff that he pulled out. They all got up and started walking to the archives.
"Ok this is where we split. Love you go to the archives and Kari and I are going town hopping." Dai said giving Ken a quick kiss before walking off in the other direction.
"Where are we going to look first?" Hikari asked looking around.
"Well the first village that comes into sight." Dai said looking at his digivice for any close towns.
"Why can't I get in? This is really important." Ken whined putting on his cute face.
"Not unless you are a digidestined or you have permission by a person higher up then me." The Meramon at the desk said going back to singeing her nails.
"Look here I am a digidestined." Ken said holding up his digivice.
"Well you should have said that in the first place cutie. You can go in." She said pointing to the door on her right.
"Thanks." Ken bowed running to the door. When he entered he found a huge library filled with cds, disks, zips, mds, and chips.
"This is going to be a long search." Ken muttered to himself as he walked around looking for the mythology part of the digital world's history.
"Are you sure that he can't talk to us. We really need to hear the story." Dai pleaded.
"Pretty please? We aren't going to hurt him." Hikari said giving her pout.
"Well I am sure that he won't mind letting you guys hear the story. Doesn't look like you are going to hurt him." The frog digimon said looking down.
"Thanks." They both said going into the house. Once they entered, it was a small little shack with two rooms going off to the side of the main one that they just walked into. Sitting on a rug was a giant version of the other digimon that they where just talking to. The room smelt of spices and flowers from the incense that was burning. Actually it was a little to overpowering so as they went to sit down they had to put their sleeve to their face.
"I'm sorry about the scent. The others go a little crazy with the stuff." The big one croaked.
"Its ok. We just want to hear your story about the seeing eyes ball." Dai coughed.
"We need to get a story from another place for a project and we heard that yours was the best." Hikari fasted talked sweetly.
"Well then, how can I refuse such a compliment." He laughed blushing a bit.
"So you'll tell?" Hikari said trying to sound thrilled and excited.
"Yes, yes. Very well. The legend starts that three human wizards long ago came to the digital world hoping to hide this tear-sized sphere called the seeing eyes ball. While on their search for a hiding place they came across the lake of mana and hid it in there then left. For years the gem laid there in the water slowly gaining a crystal ball like protection around it trapping the stone in the center of it. The legend also recalls that a flower type digimon that died off thousands of years ago tried to conceal the power by wrapping her vines around it. Then she buried it deep in the earth keeping it concealed from the entire digital world. People say the gem grants endless wishes and others say that it grants you immortality if you can free it from the vines and casing. But the most commonly used is that it can enter people's dreams and possess them from there." He explained.
"That sounds like a lead." Dai whispered over to Hikari.
"I think so, we should see what ken found out." Hikari whispered back.
"I really thank you for the story. I am sure that we are going to get a perfect grade!" Dai shouted jumping up into the air.
"It is so nice to see young people interested in the old tales, not these high tech gadgets that tell them what to think and wear and watch." The big one croaked in annoyance.
"You mean a TV?" Hikari asked.
"Yes that evil box! I do not get the point of watching it." He said starting on his rant of the evil box.
"We really thank you but we need to go." Hikari said as they both slowly and quietly snuck out of the house.
"We need to find Ken." Dai said running off in the direction of the archives.
"You can't stand to be away from him for long can you." Hikari teased.
"True but we need to tell him the info before we forget the details." Dai said running even faster. Ken was also running to meet up with them, a piece of paper in his hand.
"Guess what we found out!" Both parties shouted once they saw each other.
