I Disappear

This Story is based on a song by Metallica, called I Disappear. Enjoy, I don't own digimon, but I really wish I did...

I'm mad. Yes, that's right, I, Kari Yagami, am Mad. I am so friggin' angry! Davis and his friggin' ego started fighting with Takeru, and it ended up being a really big fight! Miyako tried to hold Davis back, and Cody pulled Takeru back, but they kept going. You know who broke up the fight?

Guess. Just take a guess.

While you're guessing, I'm gonna blow off some more steam. Then, after it was all said and done, we discussed what we should do about Aruikennimon. Basically, Takeru and Davis were glaring at each other, Miyako looked as if she was going to slap both of them until they drowned in their own blood, Cody was trying to help and Ken was completely silent. Although, I did see a cord hanging down from below his neck, and I could faintly hear music.

Then, guess who shows up to piss us off?!!?!?! ( Yup, I swear, so shut up.) Aruikennimon. We all stood up pretty fast. She started exploiting the little fight Takeru and Davis had, making them both feel pretty weak. And that's what stopped Patamon and Veemon from Digivolving right then. And, this is the exact thing that she said to Miyako, which flipped her right out.

" And you, such a loud girl, craving the attention she is depraved of at home. But, I believe that's not excuse for falling for the Cruel KAISER, hmm?" Ken's eyes had flared with such rage, more then Apocolamon could have pulled off. I swore his eyes were red! He still had a pair of head phones on, so I don't really think he knew exactly how loud he had yelled at her.

" I AM NOT THE KAISER!!!!!!! I'M NOT EVEN KEN ICHIJOUJI, YOU OLD HAG!!!!!!!!! You're going to hell........... TODAY!!!!!!!!" Then, something weird happened. Aruikennimon looked scared. Extremely scared. Terrified. She started to run off, with Mummymon, put Ken threw down his headphones and ran after her.

They ran into the distance. It's been an hour, and he still isn't back. Miyako's shaking, with tears, but still no sound or movement from where she slumped to the ground after he ran off. I paused his player a bit ago, and listened to the song. The lyrics really made sense, and I knew right away it was Metallica.

Hey, hey, hey
Here I go now
Here I go in to new days
Hey, hey, hey
Here I go now


Here I go into new days
I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Here I go into new days
Hey, hey, hey


Ain't no mercy, ain't mercy left for me,
Hey, hey, hey


Ain't no mercy, ain't mercy left for me,
I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer
Yeah, hey, hey, hey


Ain't no mercy, ain't no mercy left for me
Do you bury me when I'm gone
Do you teach me while I'm here


...just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
Hey, hey, hey, and I went, and I went on right down that road
Hey, hey, hey


And I went on, and I went on down that road
I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer
Hey, hey, hey


Yeah and went on, and I went on right down that road
Do you bury me when I'm gone
Do you teach me while I'm here


...just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
Do you bury me when I'm gone
Do you teach me while I'm here


...just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
Do you bury me when I'm gone
Do you teach me while I'm here


...just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
Do you bury me when I'm gone
Do you teach me while I'm here
...just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
...disappear

I froze in fear. Maybe he really wasn't coming back. Or maybe he was. Miyako stood up.

" We have to go find him. If you won't, then I will." Miyako started off in the direction they had gone, and I followed. Takeru, Cody and Davis didn't come. Heartless bastards. Fools, even. We'll get him back... On our own.

Wasn't long before we came to a fork. Left or right, Correct or Wrong, Foolish or Smart, Light or dark. All cut straight down the middle. The trees were thick here, in the Digital Forest, thick as though they would never end. The dirt was still wet from and old rain. I listened to the song again, listening for clues. " I went on, I went on right down that road.... Let's go right." So, we went right, as I had said. We stopped at a graveyard, old and broken, flowers long dead and muddy as hell. Miyako started singing, very well, I might add.

" Do you bury me when I'm gone, do you teach me while I'm here, just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear.... Maybe it's something to do with the graves?" I shrugged, and looked down. One was open.

" Hey, maybe that's a tunnel?" Nope. Totally off. Just an open casket, nothing but bones remaining. Miyako cringed.

" Wrong. Hey, what's that over there?" Over the hill, I could see a silhouette. Someone was shoveling something. We ran over to the figured. It was Ken, throwing heavy and musty dirt into a large hole. He was burying something, and it was thick in the air, a horrible smell. I didn't dare look, Miyako already did and looked horrified. Ken patted down the dirt, and threw the shovel to the ground.

" Too much killing. Too much violence. Too much of this. I can't stay with you two anymore.... The Kaiser has returned within me. I've got to disappear. At least until I can be forgiven...." He stated quietly. I noticed, Miyako's eyes were starting to produce tears again. Was this even a crush she felt for him, or a real swell of love?

" But.... Ken... You are forgiven, we care about you, you've got to stay! Kaiser or not, I'm not letting you go!" Miyako stomped her foot, standing as tall as she could. She looked as though she would die for him right there. Love must really be strong, if she'd do that. And I know she would. Ken sighed.

" As much as my heart aches to stay, I can't. It won't be safe. With Aruikennimon and Mummymon dead, a new evil is already arising......Within me. And I would rather kill myself then let it loose again." He looked up. His face was dirty, sweat from his forehead stinging an open gash over his eyes. Pullet holes lined his chest, his shirt torn in half. His arms were muddy, same with his pants, from the digging and burying.

" We wouldn't let you. We're not going to let it come out. Only you believe it's there: It's not there, Ken. And we know it's not." I stated, nearly on the brink of tears. Ken's eyes looked hallow. Depressed, and hallowed. Ken extended his hand palm-up to us.

" Look at my palm. What do you see?" He was really quiet, but very forceful. We stared at the palm. It was stabbed into, like he had clutched a rose at the stem as hard as he could. Blood was leaking from it. Black Blood. In the blood was faces. I could make out Aruikennimon and Mummymon, screaming. Ken closed his hand and brought it away.

" I murdered them because I couldn't handle the evil growing within me. I couldn't handle it... I can't handle anything...." Ken slumped to the ground, resting his arms on his knees and his head in his arms. Miyako dropped down beside him and hugged him.

" You did what you needed to. They wanted only to hurt the world we protect. And you stopped them. You're very strong to do that." Miyako whispered. Ken sighed.

" You didn't see what happened. I became the Kaiser, I lost control, I became him again..... But it felt different. I wasn't in blue. I was in red. I don't know what's going on........."

Well, Ken, Neither do I........... Neither do I.........................
