Ok! On with the story!

Disclaimer: I quote Sarah from Labyrinth: It's not fair!!!!!!!!!

"It can't be." She muttered as she dropped the glasses and began to dig furiously at the rocks.

As she pulled a particularly large on, the pile gave way and a face came into view.

It was the Digimon Emperor.

He looked pretty beat up and he looked to be unconscious.

There was a bump on his head and their was a gash above his eye brow that was bleeding. He had a black eye and his arm seemed to be broken.

"Oh, my..." She whispered to herself as her words trailed off.

Her hands were shaking as she slowly reached to check his pulse. He had a pulse, but it was faint.

"Just hold on; ill get you out of here." She said even though she knew that he couldn't hear her.

She slowly got up and went behind his head and wrapped her arms under his shoulders. Slowly she got up and started to pull him out from under the pile of rocks.

As she was doing this, her footing slipped and she dropped his head onto the hard ground. Yolei let out an exasperated sigh and threw her arms into the air in frustration.

"Can this day get any worse?" Suddenly a low crackle of thunder could be heard in the distance. She turned her head to the direction it came from and saw a storm heading her way.

"Obviously, it can."

She quickly bent down and picked him up once more and headed back up the cliff.

It was only ten minutes later when she heard the thunder again, only this time it was much closer.

Moments later it began to poor down on the two teens.

She let out a growl of frustration and resumed her slow pace back up the hill. She was almost to the top of the cliff when she heard another low rumbling, only this time it was not the thunder.

She looked up to see a big rock slipping from its hold on the cliff.

Horrified, Yolei yanked Ken up the rest of the cliff and away from the breaking ledge. It was only seconds later when the cliff's edge broke a few feet away from her and the unconscious emperor and it fell into the dark craves below.

By now she and the emperor were dripping wet and very tired. She heard a crackling noise behind her; she turned and saw the digiport waiting for them.

Smiling vaguely, she got back up and went for it.

"Ahh!" She yelped in pain. She had bruised her leg when her foot slipped on the way back up the cliff.

Yolei turned to face forward again and grabbed hold of the Digimon Emperor's cape, only for it to rip off. Yolei felt the cape rip and groaned in annoyance.

She turned around and decided to take off the shoulder pads, they were weighing him down and she was too tired to deal with this.

As she reached down and fiddle with the cape's latched around his neck, Ken's eyes began to twitch a bit. He let out a horse cough which caught Yolei off guard.

She backed away from him and waited to see what he might do. He tired to roll onto his side, but let out a cry of pain.

He gripped his arm and flung his head to the side, when he saw Yolei.

His eyes grew wide with surprise and anger.

"Y-You." He managed to force out.

"Uhhh..." Was all that Yolei could say; she was still a little shaken up by today's events.

He tried to sit up and yell at her, but as he got half way up, his head felt dizzy and his world turned black.

He had passed out.

Again.

Yolei immediately rushed to his side and saw that the bump on his head was beginning to bleed. She quickly unlatched the cape and dragged him to the digiport.

"Digiport open!" She yelled as the TV sucked them through. In a matter of seconds, she landed in the computer room at her school with the boy genius on top of her.

She blushed a bit and gently pushed him away from her.

She then limped out into the hallway and grabbed the phone to call for an ambulance. All she had to say was Ken Ichijouji and the ambulance arrived one minute later.

They loaded Ken into the back of the car and asked that Yolei came with them. They wanted ask her a few questions. On the way down, she came up with the best story that she could think of in a time like this.

(At the Hospital)

"I found him unconscious down at the playground outside of my school. I tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't move." Yolei lied to the police officers.

She had now been at the doctors for about twenty minutes now and saw no sign of Ken anywhere.

As the doctors check her charts, called her parents, Yolei began to wonder what she would tell the others when they found out.

'I should just tell them the truth I suppose.' She sighed. 'But what about Ken? I mean, is he gonna be ok?'

As if by magic, the doctor walked towards her to tell her about Ken's condition.

"He's in pretty bad shape and the bump on his head it pretty severe."

"But he's gonna be okay, right?"

The doctor sighed and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"I'm afraid he isn't going to be alright. You see, he is in a coma."

Yolei froze at his words.

A coma?

Was he hurt that badly? Did she really do this to him? Could she have prevented this? Then another though stuck her. Do his parent's know?

As if on cue, his parents came in through the doors and bombarded the doctor with questions.

"How is he? Is he gonna be alright? Is he alive? Is there anything we can do?"

"There is nothing you can do for him right now, Mrs. Ichijouji, except pray."

"How serious is it doctor?" Asked Mr. Ichijouji.

"I'm afraid that he is in a coma."

Immediately, Mrs. Ichijouji broke down in tears and was comforted by her husband.

Yolei felt like scum. She was to blame. She could have done something to help him, but she didn't.

"This brave young lady here was the one who found your son." Yolei looked up in surprise and tried to hold back her tears as Ken's mom rushed forward to her and greeted her with a hug.

"Thank you so much for finding my little baby for us."

Yolei hung her head and muttered; "You're welcome."

"If it wasn't for you, then Ken might be in more serious danger." Mr. Ichijouji commented.

Yolei nodded her head in agreement and pulled away from the woman's friendly hug. She got up and left the parents to discuss what they could do for ken. She walked slowly over to the window that over looked Ken's room.

There he was. Lying in his bed with machines, doctors and medicines surrounding him. All of them trying to keep him alive. She gently pressed her palm to the glass and stared quietly at the unconscious boy. 'I wonder what he is thinking right now.' She thought to herself.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Ken yelled.

He had just woken up and saw that he was no longer in the Digital World.

He was in some sort of medical facility. He sat up and took a look around.

He saw that he was in a hospital and that here was a doctor writing on some medical charts. He slowly got up and walked out of the room.

As he turned the corner, he heard a very familiar voice and turned around to see his mother and father talking to the doctors.

"Oh! Great!" He muttered as he tried to put on a fake smile as he approached them.

"Hello mom. Hi dad."

They continued to talk to the doctor as if he wasn't even there.

Ken cleared his throat and tried again. "Excuse me." He calmly said and stepped out in front of them.

Before he could say another word, his parents walked right past him. He cocked his eye brow and turned to look at where his parents had gone.

He wondered what was going on, and then noticed that he was still in his digital world clothing. Gasping in horror, he quickly looked up to see his parents walk into a room and he quickly tried to come up with an excuse.

He quickly walked after them and saw them hovering over a bed, talking to each other in a hush tone.

He walked right over to them and began to talk.

"I can explain about my clothes, mother. As you can see, this situation is probably most unusual. You see-"

He was cut off by a noise from the doorway. He turned around and what he saw shocked him.

It was that girl, what was her name again? Yolei.

He stormed up to her and looked straight into the eye.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" He sneered. "You have some nerve, bringing me back to the real world. You don't think I'm gonna let you get away with this, do you?"

She didn't reply, in fact she didn't even look at him. She was too busy staring at the parents.

"What have I done?" She whispered to herself.

"It's about time you realized how much trouble you are in." He was about to go on, but she walked on, as if he was never there. He watched her walk over to the group of adults and the bed with a confused look playing on his face.

"What's going on with everybody! There all ignoring me!"

This couldn't be happening, not to him. He sat down and thought through everything that has happened to him so far.

No one can see him, and when they do look at him, it is as if they are looking right through him.He growled in frustration and began to pace the room. He decided that that was the last straw.

He walked up to the group and yelled; "EXCUSE ME!" But no one even cast him a glance. "WHAT IS EVERYONES PROBLEM! MOM? DAD!" He was screaming at the top of his lungs and no one even heard him.

When his voice finally couldn't take it anymore, he decided to see what everyone was starring at. What he saw, he was not prepared for.

"It can't be . . ."

It was him. At least, it looked like him.

His surprised face slowly melted into anger. This was too much.

He walked right up to the kid's face and yelled down at him.

"Who are you? Why are you posing as me?!"

No answer, he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

"Wake up you fool! Answer my question!"

Still nothing.

"ANSWER ME!"

He tried to slap the kid awake, but something else happened instead.

His hand went right through him.

Still angry, Ken tried to hit him again, but his hand still went right through him. It was about then that he noticed something that sent chills down his spine.

His hands, he could see right through them.

"No . . ."

He tried to feel his face, but they went right through him. Frightened, he took his hands out of his face put them at his side.

"There has to be a perfectly logical explanation for all of this."

He turned to look at a mirror in the corner and ran up to it. What he saw confirmed his fears. He couldn't see himself at all.

He was invisible.

He was a ghost.

That explained everything. The doctor, his parent's crying. So that meant that he is a ghost, then the boy on the bed must be . . .

He slowly turned back towards the group to see that his parents had left and only Yolei remained. He slowly approached the bed to gaze down at the pale, bruised boy in front of him.

He was unconscious and yet had a lot of color in his face. He had a black eye and his lip was swollen. His face had a few bruises and a cut across his left cheek. His rib cage was all bandaged up and there was a bandage around his head. Ken didn't say anything; he was too confused and horrified.

He then looked up to see the purple haired girl staring down at him and trying hard not to cry. He suddenly remembered why he was so angry at her. She was helping those digidoofuses destroy his precious spires. Plus, she let him fall down a cliff.

She would pay for that.

Yolei sniffed back a tear as she gazed down at the helpless boy before her.

She reached down to brush a stray strand of hair in his face when she felt a wave of coldness rush over her. Ken saw what she was doing and cried out angrily; "Don't touch me!"

She immediately drew back her hand in fear and looked around the room as if someone was trying to talk to her.

Ken was confused by this, true he had told her not to go near him, but she acted like she had actually heard him. He thought about this for a moment while she quickly exited the room. Why is it that only she can hear me? Then it hit him like a lightning bolt.

(FLASHBACK)

"It's all your fault."

. . . . . .

"HUH?"

"Y-You."

(END OF FLASHBACK)

She was there every time something bad happened to him.

The fall.

When she was pulling him back up the cliff.

She was there.

He turned his attention to her as she bowed in respect to his parents and she ran to the elevator to get home.

"Perhaps she could be of some use to me after all." He sneered as he went after her.

Will Ken ever get back into his body? What does Ken have in store for Yolei? While the other Digidestend figure it out? Stay tuned to find out on the next Digimon, Digital Moanters!

There you have it ladies and gentlemen! The FOURTH chapter of 'a Ghost of a Chance'! I hope you enjoyed it, the next chapter shoulder be out within the next few weeks!
