Chapter 4: Learn Something
The sun was low in the sky splashing the sky with bright orange and red. The Digidestined where still heading east and there was no sign of danger or of Mor's Digi-Egg. Mor and Davis stopped racing out of hunger, they where both slowly stumbling at the back with Veemon.
Everyone was very tired and their games had stopped the digimon all walked or flew on their own except Wormmon who had stayed on Ken's shoulder. Patamon had a few times tried to sit on TK's head but TK nicely asked him to get off, because he was still carrying Kari on his back. Yolei had gotten off of Ken's back and they were trying to walk and watch the brighter part of the sunset. The island had rotated slowly and they were almost walking once again into the sunset. Although no one felt the rotation. Kari had offered to walk but everyone refused, they might have been slow at that moment but if Kari's leg didn't get better they would be slow for a lot longer.
Davis was wondering why there was no trouble when Zoemi found her Digi-Egg. He remembered how they were usually attacked when looking for a Digi-Egg. This time there was no trouble at all, they had actually not seen any sign of Digimon other then their own partners. Davis was giving up hope while he lacked farther behind as the group walked up a small hill. At the top of the hill the Digidestined saw to their relief a huge blue house at the bottom of the hill.
With their hope rejuvenated, they hurried down to the lone house in the middle of the green field. Kari and TK were a little skeptical remembering the hotel they had once found that was a complete illusion.
As they approached there was a sign that read, "Green Grass Inn." Without thinking they all went into the big blue building that was named after the grass that surrounded it.
They all walked into the Inn and Cody found himself face to face with what looked like a blue-green Digi-Egg sitting on a roman looking pillar. Cody was very confused until he looked around and found that there was many more of these Digi-Egg like decorations around the reception area.
Ken rang the bell at the front desk and a small white egg with green legs and yellow eyes peered over the desk at the Digidestined. "Digitammamon!" the Digidestined exclaimed together getting a little worried that Digitammamon might be evil again, or make them work in the kitchen.
"Hello, humans. Have we met? Oh it doesn't matter how could I help you eight?" asked Digitammamon.
"I thought he ran a restaurant?" asked Davis.
"A restaurant? Oh no that would be another Digitammamon, I have always been here," replied Digitammamon, "Now how could I help you?"
"Well could we have a few rooms for the night and dinner?" asked Ken.
Yolei added, "Do you take something besides Digi-Dollars?"
"Digi-Dollars? Oh yes well here rooms and meals are free as long as you learn something. If you don't learn something, then you must pay but it isn't a lot and doesn't have to be in Digi-Dollars," replied Digitammamon.
"Ok," said Davis.
"Well then lets see here," said Digitammamon searching through some papers, "I have four human rooms, but I'm afraid one of the rooms has only one big bed. And I have lots of Digimon sized rooms I assume that you'll want dinner sent to the rooms so you can get to bed faster and take some showers."
"That would be great, Thank you," replied Kari sliding off of TK's back and landing softly on the plush carpet.
Digitammamon rang a small bell, and a Gotsumon appeared from around the corner, "Gotsumon can you please show these digimon here where their rooms are, I'll personally take the humans." The Gotsumon nodded and motioned for the Digidestined digimon to follow him. The digimon said good- night to their partners and followed the Gotsumon to their rooms.
Digitammamon turned to the Digidestined and said, "Ok I guess we'll break you up into pairs, "Digitammamon looked at Ken and Yolei who were holding hands, "Well then I'm figuring you two are together, so here is your key," Digitammamon handed Yolei a key, "Now the rest of you we should do this by age. So who is the same age or close to the same age?"
"Me and Kari, she is twelve and I'm thirteen," quickly replied Davis putting his hand out.
Digitammamon looked a little suspicious, "And you two?" Digitammamon asked Mor and TK.
"Well I'm twelve, and she is thirteen," replied TK.
Digitammamon placed a key in Davis's and another in Kari's hand, Ok the twelve year olds together and the thirteen year olds together."
"What?!" yelled Davis and Mor together, "You can't do that!"
"Yes I can now do you want me to charge Digi-Dollars?" replied Digitammamon. All the Digidestined glared at Davis in Mor they didn't have a single Digi-Dollar.
"Umm... Digitammamon, I'm a year older then her, "said Cody pointing to Zoemi.
"Well that's fine you two will have to share a room," Digitammamon said handing Cody the last key, "Now your rooms are the last four on the right in that hall way I'm sure you wont have trouble just match the number on the door to the one on the key. Pull the red pull string for room service." With that Digitammamon left.
The Digidestined walked down the hall full of doors, "I wonder who has the big bed?" said Yolei.
"Yolei do you have to ask? It's obviously you and Ken," said Kari with a smile.
"I don't think so I has to be you and TK," smiled Yolei.
The fourth to last door was number H74, "That's ours," grumbled Davis as he opened the door, "Good-night see you guy EARLY tomorrow."
"Yeah EARLY, good-night," replied Mor.
"Good-night you two, we want you both alive tomorrow, "laughed Ken.
"Good-night," said the Digidestined together.
The door closed, Mor screamed, Davis cursed, "Your going to pay Digitammamon its bad enough we have to share a room but a bed to, that is just cruel!!"
The Digidestined laughed, "We were wrong."
"I hope they'll be alright," added Zoemi. She stopped in front of room H76, it was her's and Cody's. They all said good-night and went into their own rooms, Yolei and Ken in H80 and TK and Kari in H78.
The first thing everyone did was order dinner that was brought to the room by Gotsumon who entered the rooms through smaller Gotsumon sized doors that were in the human sized door. After dinner everyone went to sleep except Cody and Zoemi.
Zoemi sat on her bed and searched through her bag, while Cody searched their room. It was a good size room with white walls and two twin bed, decked in the same blue, green as the 'Digi-Egg decorations' a calming blue-green swirling like water. There was a night stand on each of the right sides of the bed and a long wood dresser on the opposite wall. Opposite the door was two more doors one leading to a small private bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. Cody opened the right door to revel a small closet that someone had left a couple mops in. Cody picked up a mop and examined it, it was just a normal old every day mop with a screw off top. Cody screwed off the top and then used the mop stick to practice his Kendo moves.
"What are you doing?" asked Zoemi.
"Practicing Kendo," replied Cody not looking up.
"Really?" said Zoemi. She put down her backpack and walked over to Cody she picked up the second mop and unscrewed the top. She stood facing Cody ready to fight. Cody struck her stick lightly and they began to spar, "We call this Judo. Kendo is something else that is just hand to hand."
"That's interesting for us it is the other way around," replied Cody, "It sounds like the languages of our two worlds are the same with a few minor differences like American English and Great Britain English, Mexican Spanish and Spain Spanish, France French and Canadian French, and High German, and Swiss-German. Zoemi nodded and tapped Cody on the right shoulder lightly with her stick.
----------
Kari walked into the bathroom with her backpack to take a shower. She came out ten minutes later, "You might want to wait a few minutes before taking a shower TK."
TK turned around and looked at Kari her hair was wet and messy looking, she was wearing her gym clothes, "Gym clothes?"
"Well I figured while I could I would take a shower and not sleep in my normal clothes," replied Kari.
"But why did you bring them here?" asked TK.
"Because we left on Friday right after school and on Fridays you, me, and Davis have gym," replied Kari speaking slowly.
TK hit his hand on his forehead, "Yes of course we did, do, whatever."
Kari laughed, "Well if you aren't going to take a shower then I think we should go to bed, you can count the blue lines on the carpet tomorrow."
"But we are leaving tomorrow, "whined TK, "I'm already at 1249."
Kari sighed and laid down in her bed she turn the lamp that sat on her nightstand off, "Then get up really early and finish, now turn off your light and go to sleep."
TK mocked Kari for a minute before he to laid down in his own bed and turned the light off.
----------
Davis and Mor were laying on the bed in the dark. Mor was balancing on the right edge, and Davis was balancing on the left edge. The blanket was just big enough to cover the bed. So Davis and Mor fell asleep fighting over the blanket. Neither would be nice and offer to sleep on the floor, so they came up with this compromise.
The air conditioning was on because outside it was rather hot. But neither Mor or Davis could make it warmer and instead of going even the slightest way towards the middle of the bed so that they could share the blanket and be warm they stayed as far away from each other as possible.
----------
Yolei and Ken kissed each other good-night and went to sleep.
----------
Cody and Zoemi sat on their beds facing each other, "So how is having two older sisters? Do you have any other siblings?" asked Cody.
"Two older sisters is tough, Patience is such a girly girl and Mor is such a tomboy, so I'm kind of mixed. Patience is patient, and always kind and gentle, while Mor is hot headed and sometimes obnoxious, but mostly kind and forgiving. I have a fourteen year old brother, Daizukegoalaedo(pronounced: Daisuke-goal-ae-doe)," replied Mor.
"Daisuke? That's Davis' real name."
"No it's Daizuke with a z, but we call him Dairen (pronounced: Dai- ren). But that's cool that Davis name is almost the same as my brothers. It would be freaky if Davis had strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes like my brother."
Zoemi and Cody continued to talk like that for another couple of hours, learning all they could about the others world and life. They finally got tired and went to bed.
----------
Davis rolled off the bed and hit the carpet hard. Davis woke up with a headache and climbed back into the bed, half asleep Davis laid more in the middle of the bed forgetting about Mor.
----------
Cody woke up Zoemi in the morning the two decided that they would go set up a big group breakfast and wake the others up, it was 6:00 and Zoemi and Cody believed that Mor and Davis might need medical attention.
Zoemi went to Mor and Davis's room backpack with medical supplies in hand. Cody went first to Yolei and Ken's room. They knocked on the doors, "Wake up you guys, we are going to eat breakfast together!"
Cody got an answering groan from Ken, "We're coming," Cody heard to feet touch the ground and then slowly walk to the other bed, "Yolei wake up." Cody heard Ken say as he walked to Kari and TK's room and knocked on the door.
"TK, Kari wake up! We're going to get breakfast together!" yelled Cody at the door.
"One minute Cody," replied Kari in a tired voice, "TK? TK I thought you were going to get up and count the blue lines on the carpet? TK get up!" a sound of a pillow flying through the air and then hitting skin was heard TK grumbled. Cody decided not to ask why he was going to count lines early in the morning.
Cody walked up to Zoemi, who was banging on the door suddenly they heard a body hit the floor and Mor yelling, "Davis we agreed! That we would sleep on opposite sides of the bed! I wake up to you rolling over and pushing me off the bed!"
"Wha?" asked Davis half awake. **Slap!** "Hey! What was that for?" Davis yelled fully awake.
"You pushed me off the bed!"
"And I'll do it again!" said Davis, Cody and Zoemi heard two bodies hit the floor and roll around in a poor fist fight.
"Mor stop that this instant, you two can't kill each other!" yelled Zoemi.
Cody added, "Davis we are going to eat BREAKFAST as a group come on!"
"Breakfast?" answered Davis. Cody and Zoemi laughed.
They both said loudly to the other's doors, "We'll meet you in the lobby!" Cody and Zoemi walked out to the lobby and sat down on a blue flowered old fashioned looking hard sofa and waited for the others.
A half an hour later, no one had come out of their rooms. Zoemi was worried that Davis and Mor really killed each other. So Cody and Zoemi walked back down the hall.
They stopped in front of Davis and Mor's room a struggle could be heard through the door, "Come on you two stop that!" yelled Zoemi trying the doorknob, but it was locked, "Go get the others Cody."
Cody nodded and walked to Ken and Yolei's room, "Ken, Yolei what is taking so long?"
"The door is jammed, "replied Ken.
"Cody how did you open your door?" asked Yolei.
Cody looked confused his door had no funny looking mechanisms or what not, "I turned the doorknob and pulled the door open, Well Zoemi did, but it wasn't hard."
"Well then ours is jammed can you get Digitammamon?" asked Ken.
"Yeah no problem, right after I make sure that TK and Kari are not a sleep or counting blue lines(?)," replied Cody.
"Ok? We wont ask," said Ken there was confusion in his voice.
Cody walked to TK and Kari's room he heard a bang on the door followed by an "Oww!"
"TK are you alright?" asked Cody and Kari.
"Yeah, yeah I am fine. Cody the door wont open," replied TK.
Cody said, "Neither will Ken and Yolei's door, I'm going to get Digitammamon."
"Oh wait we got an e-mail from Digitammamon," said Kari picking up the D-Terminal and reading loud enough for Cody to hear, "We regret to inform you that you didn't learn anything. So the charge is you time, you will stay in the room until you learn what you are meant to learn. Room service will still be running. Thank You – Digitammamon."
A scream was heard from Mor, Cody ran over to Zoemi, "What happened?"
"She read the e-mail, we better go talk to Digitammamon," replied Zoemi walking out of the hall way. Cody ran to the front desk and rang the bell. Digitammamon didn't answer the bell.
"Ok we are going to have to figure out what they have to learn," said Cody.
Zoemi nodded, "Yeah Its obvious what Mor and Davis must learn, they must learn to get along. But its going to take a miracle!"
"That's it! Davis has the Digi-Egg of Miracles," exclaimed Cody.
"I'm not following you."
"Ok Davis has three Digi-Eggs Courage, Friendship, and Miracles. We know that Mor at least will have the Digi-Egg of Forgiveness. So Davis will have to FORGIVE Mor and then she'll need to have the COURAGE to start a solid FRIENDSHIP creating the MIRACLE."
"I see but what about TK and Kari, Hope and Light. If I had to choose I would have to say that they would have to go out or admit that they love each other. Because it is obvious to everyone that they are meant to be together, except they don't realize it."
"That has to be it their minds have to realize what their hearts already know."
"Ken and Yolei are hard they are already going out, "said Zoemi putting a hand to her head and doing a 'Winnie the Pooh think...think'.
"Well I know that they love each other but I don't think they know why they love each other," replied Cody.
**Clap...clap** Cody and Zoemi turned around to face the door Digitammamon was standing there with Wizardmon.
"Well it is nice to see that you two have learned what you needed to and also found out what the others must learn. I'm sorry your not allowed to tell them, even if they would believe you," said Wizardmon, "Here let me explain I enlisted Digitammamon to help me test you and train you. Without this knowledge, this strength as you will. You wont be strong enough to defeat this new evil. Now I have a question for you two, what did you learn?"
"We learned about each other," replied Zoemi.
Wizardmon made a 'yeah I'll except that as half credit face', "Well that is half of it. You two are both very shy and quiet, as well as the two youngest. You two are more mature then any other Digidestined excluding TK and Kari but that's because they had to create the same alliance as you have created last night, when they were younger. You two are very important and need to be heard or else Davis and Mor will lead the Digidestined blind. They need your Responsibility, Knowledge, and Reliability to make it. If you two didn't become such good friends you would have stayed quiet when only one of you could solve the problem."
"How do you know so much about us?" asked Cody.
"Don't you recognize me?" asked Wizardmon.
Cody and Zoemi looked hard at Wizardmon, "Candlemon?" asked Zoemi.
Wizardmon nodded.
"Gatomon's Wizardmon?" asked Cody.
Wizardmon nodded, "Ok now you two enjoy the break you have and not a word of me to anyone especially Gatomon, I'll tell her when it is time."
Cody and Zoemi just nodded and Wizardmon turned around and walked out the door.
----------
"Kari what are you doing?" asked TK as Kari pulled out her English book. It was a very watered down version of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by R. L. Stevenson. Level four out of six but it was shortened to only seventy pages. Kari, and TK's English teacher gave it to them on Friday they where supposed to read chapter one and write questions over the story.
"Doing homework, its learning we are supposed to learn something, and since there is nothing else to do I figured this would be a good way to pass the time till lunch," replied Kari, "come on TK read with me."
"My Engleesh pro-nun-ci-a-shi-on is no guud," replied TK in English with a smile, "So you can read to me, so I hear the correct pronunciation."
"Well get over her then, you aren't going to learn pronunciation if you don't see what you are pronouncing," replied Kari putting her free hand on the bed beside her.
TK sighed and walked over to the bed he sat on the edge and put his left arm behind Kari's back and swung his feet up onto the bed, "Ok you read some and then I'll read some."
Kari opened the book to the first page a sort of prologue, and read, "'DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE... Have you ever wished to be someone else?'" Kari stopped after reading that first sentence and looked at TK expecting him to read on.
TK sighed and read, "'Have you ever looked at someone you know and thought, 'He does what he wants. Why shouldn't I do what I want?''" TK looked back at Kari expecting her to read the next three sentences at least.
"What?" Kari said innocently, "I forgot how to read that way of writing, you'll have to read the whole thing to me." Kari smiled.
"Oh I do? Do I?" asked TK with a sly look. He picked up his left arm and began to tickle Kari, Kari was laughing for a few minutes before she dropped the book and fought back. TK had to stop tickling Kari and pin her hands back from his stomach. The end result was TK leaning over Kari, while she laid on the bed. Kari's right arm being held down by TK's left hand and her left arm by TK's right hand. Kari was looking into TK's blue eyes trying to make a puppy dog face while trying to struggle free.
TK thought, **Wow, she is so beautiful, I love that smile and her playful nature, but I also love how she can always be serious and hard working. She really is the light at the end of it all. And I love her.** TK leaned his face towards Kari's, his heart skipped a beat. The door to their room made a half clicking noise as if someone turned the key only half way. As quickly as the thought of love slipped into TK's mind was as fast as it was gone. "Gotcha," TK smiled.
"So I lose, you read?" asked Kari with a hopeful smile.
TK smiled and let go of Kari's hands, "Sure I'll read." TK picked up the book while Kari sat up. TK and Kari returned to their previous reading position this time TK had the book and he read on more then just two sentences.
----------
The door to Kari and TK's room locked completely again. Wizardmon who wanted to see how all of this ended walked out of the shadows with an angry, yet worried and inquisitive expression, "Every last time either one of them realizes it is love they push the thought quickly out of their heads, maybe they really are to young to think of such things. No, no they aren't When the realize that it is true love they always get interrupted and THEN loose the thought. I hope with just the two of them around that there is no more distractions and their mind's wont forget it is true love."
Wizardmon returned to the shadows he wanted no one to know that he was still there it would ruin everything. Wizardmon turned his attention to Davis and Mor.
----------
"You made my nose bleed!" yelled Davis holding a wet cloth to his up turned nose.
"I know I'm so sorry Davis, I didn't mean to," replied Mor.
Davis glared at her, "If you didn't mean to, why did you punch me in the nose?!" Davis was full of anger that was fed by the pain.
"Fine Davis! Don't come near me!" yelled Mor slamming the bathroom door on Davis and lying on the bed. A tear trickled down her cheek it was only a single tear, Mor brushed it away. She really was sorry he had just got her so mad because he pushed her off the bed twice. He had started it and she tried to finish it but he wouldn't forgive her.
----------
Yolei and Ken were using their time in 'prison' to make out. Yolei pulled away when Ken's hand pulled her shirt up some. Yolei pulled her shirt down again.
"What's wrong Yolei?" asked Ken.
She looked at him, "Ken what do you really want out of this relationship?" Yolei said a little hot headed.
"What do you mean by that? You know I love you."
"Do I Ken? We are thirteen something's aren't expectable for thirteen year olds to do and some are. So please don't tell me your taking me as a slut."
"Yolei...I..."
"We should be using our energy trying to escape instead of enjoying the imprisonment! And don't you use I'm a teenage guy for an excuse. Just because you have raging hormones and a girl stuck in the room with you doesn't mean you have to have sex with her!"
"Yolei... I...you... Wait! Your just a girl? Stuck in a room with me? Like we were Mor and Davis who didn't want to be paired together? Yolei are you breaking up with me?"
Yolei hesitated, "... Umm... Yes, yes I am. I think you really don't know me at all!"
"I don't know you? Well you don't know me either then!" yelled Ken, he got off of Yolei's bed and laid on his own bed back away from Yolei.
----------
Wizardmon shook his head, he hoped that this wouldn't take more then a week or than the Dark Digidestined would be to far ahead and the new ultimate evil would have finished assembling.
----------
"Cody where is Davis and the others?" asked Veemon walking up to Cody and Zoemi, in the lobby.
Cody and Zoemi looked to find that all the digimon where there, "..." was Cody's and Zoemi's only response.
"We got worried because it is almost dark and we haven't left yet," said Armadillomon.
"... They didn't learn anything, so they are paying with their time, until they learn what the must, they can't leave," replied Cody.
"Cody!" said Zoemi surprised that Cody told the digimon.
"Well they should know what's happening," Said Cody, Zoemi looked into his eyes and nodded.
Wormmon stepped forward, "Well we should help them."
"That's what we wanted to do, but we can't and neither can you," said Zoemi, "now we should probably all go back to our rooms and prepare for dinner and bed."
The digimon nodded although they didn't fully understand, everyone returned to their rooms and ordered dinner.
----------
Ken rolled over he was ready to apologize to Yolei. Ken slowly stood up and walked to the far side of Yolei's bed which was the way she was already facing. Ken laid a hand on her should but she was already asleep.
"I'm sorry Yolei, I guess I just got caught in the heat of the moment. But I wanted you to know that I wouldn't do anything that both you and I weren't ready for. So I'm very sorry for the way I acted and don't blame you for breaking up with me." Ken kissed Yolei on the forehead before covering her with the blanket and going into the bathroom to take a shower.
----------
Davis walked out of the bathroom it had taken a couple hours for his nose to stop bleeding. Davis walked over to the bed and saw that Mor was already a sleep, her face was stained with a few tears. Davis didn't feel bad at all for making her cry, she might have been really sorry for hurting him, but he wasn't going to forgive her.
Davis grabbed his pillow and laid it on the thick carpet. The only blanket that either of them had was laying under Mor and Davis didn't feel like waking her or covering her. He no longer minded the cold of the air conditioned room or the semi hard floor. He didn't want to be in the same bed with a girl who would freak out if he rolled over.
----------
Ken got out of the shower a few drops of blood fell to the floor, Ken didn't notice. He got dressed and went back out to bed.
A few hours later Yolei woke up. She felt gragy and grimy she needed a shower. Yolei got out of her warm bed and walked into the seemingly white and blue bathroom. She pulled off her shirt and pants, right when she stepped into the shower she noticed blood on the floor. **I wonder what Ken cut himself on?** thought Yolei.
Yolei stepped into the shower and turned the warm water on. She picked up a lone razor that was by the bar or soap, **I didn't know that Ken shaved, or that the digimon had razors and I know that neither Ken nor I brought a razor or did he?** Yolei looked the razor over it was a yellow Bic single blade razor. Yolei looked at the blade of the razor to see if it had been used or if Bic was just selling in the Digital World now. The blade was covered with fresh blood that was slowly washing down the drain. Yolei was shocked she dropped the razor and fumbled to turn the water off.
Yolei stumbled out of the tub and quickly wrapped her semi wet hair in a towel. Yolei pulled on her underwear, the towel fell onto the floor over Ken's blood. Yolei picked up the white towel to only drop it again when she saw the blood stains.
Yolei forgot about the rest of her clothes and quickly wrapped the light blue hotel robe around her body and she burst out of the bathroom turning on Ken's bedside lamp.
Ken was peacefully sleeping on his back, Yolei smiled he seemed alright. Yolei's smile quickly disappeared when she noticed Ken's left arm that he had over his head, the wrist was red and scabs were forming over the few hour old cuts.
Anger took Yolei over, anger at Ken for doing such a thing to himself, anger at herself for breaking up with him, the most likely reason he had done it. Yolei reached and held Ken's left wrist tightly in her right hand.
Ken woke up almost immediately and looked at Yolei with tears in her eyes, "Why Ken? Why?" she cried.
Ken pulled his arm away from her and hid it in shame, "...I... just w...want...wanted to s... see if it still didn't cause me pain," Ken stuttered looking down at the bed spread.
Yolei was crying, "Oh I'm so sorry!" She fell to her knees crying into Ken's bed spread, "It's all my fault!"
Ken brushed Yolei's hair away from her face with his left hand and lifted her chin up with his right, "Listen to me, it's not your fault. Come sit, and I'll tell you what happened."
Yolei nodded wiping tears away and she climbed under the covers next to Ken. "Ok when I was younger, not to much younger a little before I became Digimon Emperor I was very depressed. No one every questioned me about it I was a genius they all thought I was just pondering the secrets of the universe. I took it as no one loved me anymore. So one day I took a razor blade intending on killing myself. The first cut was only a little nick the ones that hurt more then when you have a deeper cut, but I felt no pain..." Yolei began to cry again, Ken wiped her tears away and held her tight, "so I continued to try and kill myself I tried a whole day and could never muster enough courage to cut deeper then the harmless painless nicks. Shortly after I became the Digimon Emperor and found that I didn't have to try and cause myself pain, I could cause these creatures pain. After that I didn't want pain because I had the Digidestined my friends, and most of all you."
"But you tried again because I broke up with you, because of me..." Yolei cried.
"No Yolei, no," Ken comforted, "I told you I just wanted to see if it still didn't hurt. When I saw the razor in the bathroom I just gave myself a nick expecting the result to be the same that I was an emotionless, feeling less person. But I felt the pain, I was so happy that I cut myself a few more times to make sure I wasn't imaging the pain. See Yolei only three cuts," Ken held out his left wrist so Yolei could see the almost healed faint cuts, "see Yolei that's why I love you, because you loved me and made me feel again. You brought meaning to my life, with your purple hair and glass, your inquisitive mind and kind, loving heart. You wouldn't lie to a soul and that's what I love about you. I meant to tell you earlier but I couldn't, I'm sorry Yolei, I guess I just got caught in the heat of the moment. But I wanted you to know that I wouldn't do anything that both you and I weren't ready for. So I'm very sorry for the way I acted and don't blame you for breaking up with me." Ken knew he just repeated what he said when Yolei slept but she still needed to hear it.
Yolei hugged Ken, "Oh I'm so sorry, I felt so bad about not just saying I wanted to take it slowly, and blowing up at you the way I did. When I saw the blood I got so scared that you weren't sleeping in your bed that you were dead. I need you Ken, I know how you feel I was never the popular one, and spent most of my time with computers. I think even that half the e- mails that Tai, Izzy, Matt, and TK received during the battle on the internet were from me. You and the other Digidestined brought people into my life. You Ken brought kindness and love to me. I love the way that you would do so much for all your friends and how you don't mind being second or even third in command. And your sincerity it even out beats my own, I love the way you let your pain show unlike many other guys that I know. I love you." Yolei was crying. Ken looked Yolei in the eye and dried her tears. He slowly leaned closer to Yolei making sure that she wouldn't object. Yolei leaned forward a little, Ken kissed Yolei on the lips softly.
Ken looked into Yolei's eyes, "I love you, will you go out with me?"
Yolei smiled, "Who ever said we broke up?"
Ken laughed and kissed her again, "I don't know it was just some rumor I heard."
"Well you shouldn't trust a rumor," said Yolei as she laid down in the bed.
"Yeah your right," said Ken reaching over Yolei and turning of the light.
"Of course I am, I'm always right. Good-Night Ken."
Ken smiled, "Good-Night Yolei I love you."
----------
Wizardmon smiled as the lock on Ken and Yolei's door made a clicking noise.

Ken and Yolei woke up late the next morning. Yolei with a big smile on her face went to the bathroom and got dressed. While she brushed her hair she walked to the door completely forgetting that it was locked.
Yolei's Right hand rested on the door knob while her left hand brushed her hair. "Yolei what are you doing?" asked Ken.
"Going to see if the others are awake," replied Yolei pulling down on the doorknob.
"Did you forget? The door is ..." Ken was cut off by the surprise of seeing Yolei pull the door open.
Still absentmindedly Yolei stepped out of the door and then turn towards Ken. She had just realized what she had done, "The door is open Ken!"
"I Know I can see," replied Ken running out of the door. They quickly walked into the lobby only to find Cody and Zoemi lounging on the old fashioned sofa.
Cody jumped up in seeing Yolei and Ken, "You learned why you loved each other!"
"Is that all we had to learn but we already knew that," replied Ken.
Zoemi stood up, "No I think you had to make the reason more aware to yourself and her."
"Ok you two have a lot of explaining," said Yolei.
"We know come and sit down it is a long story," replied Cody. Who sat back down on the sofa Zoemi, Ken and Yolei followed suit, and Cody began.
---------- ~ Two Days Later~
Davis was pacing up and down writing in a notebook that he normally kept Math notes in. **Day four, this torture is unbearable. I can't stand Mor, we've fought every single day, and she makes me miss most of my meals. The wounds that she has inflicted upon me are the bloody nose, plus uncountable cuts and scratches...**
Mor stooped leaning against the wall and began to pace, reading to herself what she had wrote on a piece of paper she had found, ** Day four, this torture is unbearable. I can't stand Davis, we've fought every single day, and he makes me cry like a little girl. The wounds that he has inflicted upon me are not bad, just uncountable cuts and scratches...**
Davis and Mor bumped into each other, Davis dropped his pen that he was writing with. Mor bent down and picked up the pen, she handed it to Davis, "I'm sorry, here."
"Oh, it's no problem," replied Davis continuing pacing. Mor looked at Davis in shock, he had just forgiven her, even if it was small and pointless, Davis still forgave Mor. Mor wrote, **Maybe he isn't that bad after all...**
Mor put down her pad of paper and walked over to the bed she took out a pack of cards and proceeded to play Gin Rummy by herself.
Davis watched as Mor dealt the cards and began to play her game. Davis could see that it was not an interesting game. Davis began to feel sorry for her, he should have been nicer she was just a girl who was transported to another dimension and then another, being told she couldn't go home, He wrote before putting down the pad of paper, **Maybe she isn't that bad after all...**
Davis walked over and sat across from Mor on the bed, "Can I play?"
Mor smiled, "Yeah." Mor picked up the cards and shuffled. After she dealt the cards out for Gin Rummy. Davis went first he took the face up card and discarded a two.
"You know that you are very tough, I've never fought a guy that was as tough as you," said Davis beginning the small talk while the game played.
"Yeah I take Judo and Kendo."
"Well that's cool," said Davis picking up a face down card. The game continued and when it was finished another began they talked, laughed and played the same peaceful game for an hour.
"Hey I'm sorry Davis, your actually really cool I wish I didn't start the fight between us," said Mor.
"Don't worry about it I'll forgive you, what are friends for? Anyways it was I who started the fight."
"Well lets just forget about it ok, friends?" Mor asked extending her hand to Davis.
"Friends." Davis shook Mor's hand and then hugged her.
They heard a click as the door unlocked. Both Mor and Davis stopped hugging and looked at each other, then at the door. They scrambled off the bed and ran to the door. Mor held her hand over the doorknob afraid that when she turned it that it wouldn't open.
Davis held Mor's hand to the doorknob and they opened it slowly. Both Mor and Davis took one step out of the door and then turned around and looked at the threshold that had taken four days to re-cross. Davis then turned and looked at Mor he smiled.
Mor smiled back and swung her arms around his neck hugging him, "We did it! We are out of that room! I love you!" Mor pulled a little away from Davis arms still around his neck, she looked serious for the next part, "well not literally," Mor jumped a little, Davis swung her around, "not literally, but I love you!"
Mor and Davis stopped their happy dance when they noticed a shocked Cody, Zoemi, Yolei, and Ken standing in the hallway watching them.
"Yeah well I think someone need to explain exactly what happened in the last four days," said Davis, Mor nodded.
The other's nodded, "Come on we'll tell you in the Lobby," said Zoemi.
---------- ~ Two More Days Later~
"How long have we been here Kari?" asked TK waking up on their sixth morning.
"This will be day six, I'm pretty sure. What can we do today?" asked Kari.
"Well lets see we've done our history home plus extra reading, our Math homework plus the next math chapter, We finished the book for English writing questions for every chapter, And we finished our observation sheet from the science experiment on Friday, We've started our own observations on our own experiment, 'Behind Locked Doors'(a dairy of what had happened the last four days that is compiled in a way to show how two best friends can live together, they plan on adding how Mor and Davis turned out and passing it in on Monday for extra credit)."
Kari laughed, "Don't forget we counted the blue lines on the carpet 96 times the grand total being 4836."
"4838 I'm telling you, you miss counted," laughed TK, "but what are we going to do?"
Kari sat up and got out of bed she walked over to TK's bed, he was still laying down. Kari pushed TK over some, he laughed as she struggled to move him all but ten centimeters.
"Watch your leg Kari," said TK moving over another ten centimeters.
Kari climbed into the bed next to him, "my leg has been healed for three days TK," Kari laid her head on TK's shoulder, "tell me a story TK please."
TK sighed and put his arm more comfortably around Kari, "Alright," TK's voice changed to a low story telling coo, "there once was a princess..."
"And her name?" asked Kari with a smile.
"Hikari. Princess Hikari lived in a large kingdom where darkness never lay, and war was never heard of. One day Hikari's cat like friend from another kingdom, Gatomon came bearing bad news. The news was that the rulers of the nine dark kingdoms, Fear, Rivalry, Hate, Deception, Uncertainty, Ignorance, Malevolence, Darkness, and Apathy, were uniting and declaring war on the eight light kingdoms, Courage, Friendship, Love, Serenity, Reliability, Knowledge, Kindness, and Light..."
"And where is hope?" asked Kari.
"Do you want me to continue on in the story?" asked TK, Kari nodded, "But the worst of all news is that some new ultimate evil had formed and not even the dark kingdoms knew what the evil was, that had pulled them together into forced alliance.
War was coming and the good was out numbered, but the Lord of Courage, believed with all his heart that they would succeed, and peace would once again be returned.
Before to much could be done the Light of Princess Hikari was stolen and a Darkness fell over the kingdom. The darkness frightened to poor people of the kingdom, until it mustered into Hate, Deception and Rivalry, all hope was lost for this once bright kingdom.
On the same fateful night that a siege broke loose in the kingdom of Light the Wanderer of Hope knocked on the place gates. The hopeful Stranger was brought to Princess Hikari. When he entered the room he bowed deeply and said, 'I am Takeru Wanderer of Hope. I am here to offer you princess of Light my services, and the sad news that you must leave your kingdom now if you wish to live, because a revolt is brewing in the town. You must leave these walls and reclaim your Light. Come with me now princess.' Takeru held his hand out to the princess and looked at her with hopeful blue eyes. The princess Hikari nodded and took his hand they fled the castle and kingdom telling all that they saw who were still loyal to Hikari to flee to a neighboring kingdom and that Hikari would return with the light and peace.
Before Hikari and Takeru stepped outside the city walls an old peddler woman stopped them, 'Princess...'
'Yes,' replied Hikari she felt sorry for the woman, Hikari had not known that poverty was a thing in her kingdom, she always made sure that the people had food and water.
'Don't worry about me I'm a peddler by choice. Now I must tell you that you will not find the light out there,' the woman held her hand to the far horizon and panned across it with her old shaky bones, 'You must look in here and here,' the peddler placed a shaky bony finger on Hikari's head and then moved it to her heart. The woman picked Hikari's hand up and placed it in Takeru's, "don't loose hope, ever. Now go!' the peddler pushed Hikari and Takeru out of the kingdom. Hikari turned around to see that the palace was ablaze...."
TK continued to tell his story that was using the Digidestined, Dark Digidestined, and Digimon in a pretend world all morning and into the afternoon. Kari found the story to be very interesting, although she knew there would have to be a happy ending, she didn't know what it was. Kari then thought maybe this once happiness wouldn't come, she knew that TK wouldn't be giving up hope in their real life pursuit, and this was just a story using real life people. Much like the bed time stories parents tell their children where all the girls are princesses and the boys heroes.
Kari listened intensively as Takeru and Hikari went to each of the light kingdoms asking for help and receiving the help from four worriers(of course they were Davis, Ken, Yolei, and Cody) before the six of them trekked across land and sea to where the darkness dwelled year round.
Kari and TK were sitting up in TK's bed, Kari was really getting into the story not realizing that it was late afternoon and they hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch.
"In the midst of the battle Hikari's cat like friend was struck nothing fatal she would live but it stirred Hikari the wrong way she dropped to the ground loosing all hope she had left. Takeru saw this and quickly struck his current foe and ran to Hikari's side. Takeru picked the princess up and dried her tears he held her hand tightly in his..." TK and grabbed a hold of Kari's hand like in his story.
"And then?" Kari asked.
"'I love you,' said Takeru.", replied TK but the 'said Takeru' was hardly heard. TK realized that in tell this made up story her was tell Kari the truth that he did love her. TK moved his face closer to Kari's she didn't back away.
"And then?" Kari asked expecting TK to start speaking again.
TK lifted Kari's chin with his hand that didn't hold hers. He brought her face to his and kissed her on the lips staying like that for a second. TK pulled away only five centimeters or so, "That happened," TK let go of Kari's chin and slowly went back to the way they were before, only still holding hands.
Kari just starred at him, the kiss hadn't made her mad, it had made her realize the truth. TK resumed his story telling voice, "Hikari just stared at the wanderer of Hope his blue eyes told that it was the truth," Kari nodded slightly, "Hikari realized that through it all, that she too knew the truth..."
"I love you, TaKeru" whispered Kari leaning towards TK, the rest of TK's name Takeru was barely heard, it sounded like TK.
TK put his free hand on Kari's cheek and brought her face to his. He leaned forward and kissed Kari once again, but this time deeper and longer. TK went to pull away again to quickly finish the story. But Kari wrapped her arm around TK's neck in held him close to her, pulling TK back into their passionate kiss.
The door made a faint full clicking noise, that neither TK or Kari heard.
----------
"Why are Kari and TK taking longer to learn whatever it is, then it took me and Davis to learn the be friends?" asked Mor. Cody, Zoemi, Ken and Yolei opted not to tell Mor and Davis that TK and Kari would have to realize that they were in love, mainly for Davis' sake.
----------
Wizardmon stood in the hallway, he stepped once again out of the shadows this time smiling. He quietly turned the door knob and pushed the door so it was just barely noticeably open. In the dark not even a sliver of light would shine through the crack that Wizardmon left. Wizardmon retreated back into the shadows.
----------
TK placed both hands on Kari's cheeks and pulled away he looked deep into her eyes and then gave her a quick kiss on the nose, "I'm going to go get dressed, you can get dressed out here." Both TK and Kari had gotten into the habit of sleeping in their gym clothes. TK got off the bed and picked up his regular clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Kari heard the shower running, she got up and changed into her normal clothes and then brushed her hair. After she was all done grooming herself she made her own bed and then TK's bed.
Kari heard the water stop running, she laid down on TK's bed the short way, her feet hanging off the bed on the door side of the room. After a minute Kari sat up and looked at the door. She stared at the door it seemed 3-d well obviously it was 3-d but now you could see it.
TK walked out of the bathroom and walked up from behind Kari. He put his arms around her and looked down at her. Kari looked up at TK who gave her an upside down kiss.
A few drops of water from TK's hair dropped on Kari's cheek. Kari pulled away wiping her cheek, "Oh TK your wet!"
"Is it really that bad?" TK said ring as much water as he could from his short hair down Kari's back. Kari jumped when the cold water slid down her back, she screamed. Kari pulled away from TK and ran toward the door.
Kari stood in front of the door with her hands in a defensive position. TK laughed and slowly walked to Kari. Kari playfully swung a punch at him. TK caught her arms and twisted her around so she was in front of him, facing away. TK was hold Kari's hands that were crossed in front of her. TK cradled Kari like that and leaned against the door. TK was surprised to feel wood against his back and to move backwards another centimeter.
"The door is open!" TK said letting go of Kari and opened the door.
TK turned back to Kari all smiles, he hugged her and gave her a quick kiss. "TK a secret ok? I love you," Kari said giving TK a long kiss.
"I love you too," replied TK walking out into the hall. TK and Kari checked everyone's door excluding Yolei and Ken's which was in the opposite direction. TK and Kari heard not a single noise in either Cody and Zoemi's, or Davis and Mor's room. They walked out of the hall and into the lobby where all the Digidestined and Digimon where talking to each other.
"Hey you guys how long have you been here?" asked Kari walking up from behind them.
"Kari!" said Davis with a big smile and turning his head to see Kari. Mor quickly caught his head, and brought it back to face hers. She thought quickly and gave Davis a fast kiss on the lips. No one seemed to realize what Mor had did they were to relieved to see Kari and TK.
Mor put her face really close to Davis, "Hey sorry man. It was the only thing I could think of to stop you from rejuvenating that crush of yours."
"Hey don't worry about it, I was just happy they got out of their room. But thanks for stopping any of those thoughts. You forgive me right?" Davis whispered back.
"As long as you forgive me," Mor said, Davis nodded. Mor's voice turned back to normal ton, "of course I'll forgive you, you silly goose." Mor playfully slapped Davis' shoulder.
One of the Digi-Egg looking decorations began to glow purple, "I knew it was a Digi-Egg!" exclaimed Cody when he saw the glowing egg.
"Is it, it mine?" asked Mor.
"Well try and pick it up," said Ken.
Mor walked over and picked up the light blue-green Digi-Egg. A D-Terminal formed in her pocket and a purple light shot up from the pillar.
Yolei already had the laptop ready when a green dinosaur like digimon appeared, it was obvious a four legged creature with a long neck, "Prehimon Level: Rookie, Type: Data, Attacks: Pepper Breath, and herd's stampede."
"That's like Agumon, Pepper breath." Replied Kari.
Prehimon leapt into Mor's arms, "Hello nice to meet you I'm Prehimon."
"Mor, nice to meet you to," replied Mor putting Prehimon down on the floor.
**Clap, clap** They all turned to face the door, once again Digitammamon was standing there with Wizardmon. Wizardmon looked over the group and said, "Well yes I in trust that everyone except Kari and TK knew the details of your test. I'm happy to say you have all passed, all though TK and Kari took longer then I expec..."
"Wizardmon?" asked Gatomon pushing her way through the others to get a better look at Wizardmon, "Your alive!" Gatomon said smiling as tears ran down her cheeks. Gatomon ran and hugged Wizardmon who returned the hug.
"Hey don't cry Gatomon, don't worry we'll talk later ok. I need to tell the Digidestined something very important first," replied Wizardmon, Gatomon nodded but didn't let go, "Ok, yes well I expected you two to figure out the answer a lot sooner. Now that everyone has a Digi-Egg except Ken of course. You must get off this island and head east to find Luna. You have one more night of staying in the Green Grass Inn." Wizardmon walked outside followed by Gatomon so they could catch up on what had happened.
"So what did you guy do for the past six days?" asked TK.
"Well we got out on the second morning, after we told each other why we loved each other which was what we had to learn," said Yolei.
"We got out on day four, after endless fights we learned to forgive, forget, and be friends," said Davis.
"We basically have done nothing waiting for you two. And what did you guys do for six days?" asked Zoemi.
"Well all of or homework is done," said Kari.
"And plus some, we started recording what happened while we were stuck in the room we need you guys to tell us what happened to you so we can compile it together and we can all pass a copy in as extra credit," added TK.
"Even English?" asked Davis shocked.
TK and Kari nodded, "We finished the book."
"You didn't count blue lines?" Cody asked jokingly.
"No we did 96 times over, we never agreed on the correct number of lines he says 4838 and I say 4836. That reminds me I never heard the end of that story TK," replied Kari.
"Oh yes, yes," TK said shifting his voice back to the quiet storytelling ton, "And with those words from the princess of light, the light that had been stolen appeared in her hands and radiate its light all across the place of darkness. The light went all the way back to Hikari's kingdom and chased all the shadows from the world, forcing the ultimate evil underground to stay for all eternity. The war was immediately ending in a victory for good. The four worrier , and the princess returned home. The Wanderer of hope having no true home was invited to live with the princess in her kingdom. He agreed to stay until another kingdom had lost their hope and he would have to leave again. Luckily hope was never lost and the wanderer and princess lived happily ever after."
"That really has got to be my favorite story, you should write it down and publish it," replied Kari with a big smile.
"Ok we really aren't going to ask, we'll just leave it as you two were REALLY bored and might be going crazy," said Mor laughing.
"Hey we might be crazy but we would have to be for like 482 years and only miss school on Monday," said Kari.
TK added, "At least we did our homework, instead of fighting."
"Ok, ok TK, Kari lets not fight over this, why don't we go get some dinner," said Davis.
"It sounds like a good idea but Davis what did you call TK?" asked Cody.
"TK, why?" answered Davis.
"Oh no reason, Come on well eat at the restaurant part of the hotel," said Yolei dragging Ken down a hall that led to a restaurant.
Everyone followed except Kari who ran out the front door. Kari saw that Wizardmon and Gatomon were sitting on the grass talking and watching the sunset, "We'll be in the restaurant when your ready to come in!" Kari yelled, Gatomon turned her head and nodded.
Kari went back inside and ran to find the others who were sitting at a big table and giving the Gotsumon their orders. There were two empty seats between TK and Yolei, one for Kari the other for Gatomon, Kari sat in the seat closer to TK.
Their food came quick and they ate rather quickly. Towards the end of the meal Davis asked Mor, "You have to teach me some Judo moves Mor ok?"
"Umm... Davis in their world Judo is Kendo and Kendo is Judo. So when you want to learn our Judo you have to learn their Kendo," replied Cody.
"Ok then," said Davis confused, "Can you teach me Kendo then?"
"Only if you can catch me," said Mor with a smile rushing up from the table. Davis ran after her, while everyone laughed at the two and their odd but good friendship.
The digimon began badgering, the remaining Digidestined into a game of Digi- tag (without attacks). Cody and Zoemi agreed and they all looked expectantly at Ken, TK, Yolei, and Kari. Ken and Yolei said they might join later, but not three seconds after they ate. TK and Kari just politely declined, the digimon, Cody, and Zoemi left the table to go play their game.
Yolei got up from the table and motioned Kari to follow her. Kari looked at Ken and then at TK before she followed Yolei, out of the restaurant.
"Ok TK, umm... this is hard to explain," said Ken turning to TK, "well Cody and Zoemi had figured out what we all needed to learn so that the door would unlock. They told me and Yolei, but not the digimon and not Mor and Davis. What you two needed to do was realize and take action on what your hearts have known for many years now. We know you two are in love, and that you are going out."
"Are we really that transparent?" asked TK.
"Well actually it was more noticeable that you guys loved each other before we came here, but yeah it is. So congratulations!" said Ken with a smile.
"If we get back home before Saturday night, or if it isn't to late on Friday night, we should double date or something you know a movie with you and Yolei, and me and Kari," said TK.
"Yeah, yeah sure, lets go find the girls," said Ken getting up from the table.
----------
"Ok Kari, umm... this is hard to explain," said Yolei bring Kari down a random empty hallway, "well Cody and Zoemi had figured out what we all needed to learn so that the door would unlock. They told me and Ken, but not the digimon and not Mor and Davis. What you two needed to do was realize and take action on what your hearts have known for many years now. We know you two are in love, and that you are going out." Yolei and Ken had decided what they would say to TK and Kari if they tried to pretend they weren't in love, a few nights before.
"Don't tell Davis ok, I think he'll freak out," said Kari.
Yolei nodded, "He'll figure it out on his own. And I think he'll be fine with it remember he called TK, TK," said Yolei. Kari nodded, they turned around and headed back to get Ken and TK.
Ken and TK met them in the lobby. Kari quickly went outside to tell Gatomon and the digimon (including Zoemi and Cody) that were playing Digi-tag, that they were going to sleep, it was already dark and late. Then Kari took TK's hand and they walked down the hall with Ken and Yolei, saying good-night. The two couples entered their rooms and prepared for their most likely last night in a warm bed for a while.
Author's Note: Yay! I thought it was a good chapter but then again I wrote it. You've got to tell me what you thought, and tell me if you didn't think it was funny, some parts were meant to be very funny while others utterly sad. Well I'm going to say what I forgot to say last time, I request creation credit if you use any of my Dark Digidestined, Fear, Rivalry, Hate, Deception, Uncertainty, Ignorance, Malevolence, Darkness, and Apathy, along with Thundramon, Faemon, and Prehimon (assuming and hoping that there wasn't a previously made Thundramon, Faemon, and Prehimon because that I don't know). I also have recently read many other peoples Digimon fan fics and realize everyone seems to use despair and the opposite of hope, well Apathy is the same thing (I had fun with dictionary.com Thesaurus which gives Synonyms and Anonyms I'm telling you just the words Apathy and Malevolence are so fun! So credit to my fav dictionary, dictionary.com) ok Happy Reading!

Chapter 4: Learn Something
The sun was low in the sky splashing the sky with bright orange and red. The Digidestined where still heading east and there was no sign of danger or of Mor's Digi-Egg. Mor and Davis stopped racing out of hunger, they where both slowly stumbling at the back with Veemon.
Everyone was very tired and their games had stopped the digimon all walked or flew on their own except Wormmon who had stayed on Ken's shoulder. Patamon had a few times tried to sit on TK's head but TK nicely asked him to get off, because he was still carrying Kari on his back. Yolei had gotten off of Ken's back and they were trying to walk and watch the brighter part of the sunset. The island had rotated slowly and they were almost walking once again into the sunset. Although no one felt the rotation. Kari had offered to walk but everyone refused, they might have been slow at that moment but if Kari's leg didn't get better they would be slow for a lot longer.
Davis was wondering why there was no trouble when Zoemi found her Digi-Egg. He remembered how they were usually attacked when looking for a Digi-Egg. This time there was no trouble at all, they had actually not seen any sign of Digimon other then their own partners. Davis was giving up hope while he lacked farther behind as the group walked up a small hill. At the top of the hill the Digidestined saw to their relief a huge blue house at the bottom of the hill.
With their hope rejuvenated, they hurried down to the lone house in the middle of the green field. Kari and TK were a little skeptical remembering the hotel they had once found that was a complete illusion.
As they approached there was a sign that read, "Green Grass Inn." Without thinking they all went into the big blue building that was named after the grass that surrounded it.
They all walked into the Inn and Cody found himself face to face with what looked like a blue-green Digi-Egg sitting on a roman looking pillar. Cody was very confused until he looked around and found that there was many more of these Digi-Egg like decorations around the reception area.
Ken rang the bell at the front desk and a small white egg with green legs and yellow eyes peered over the desk at the Digidestined. "Digitammamon!" the Digidestined exclaimed together getting a little worried that Digitammamon might be evil again, or make them work in the kitchen.
"Hello, humans. Have we met? Oh it doesn't matter how could I help you eight?" asked Digitammamon.
"I thought he ran a restaurant?" asked Davis.
"A restaurant? Oh no that would be another Digitammamon, I have always been here," replied Digitammamon, "Now how could I help you?"
"Well could we have a few rooms for the night and dinner?" asked Ken.
Yolei added, "Do you take something besides Digi-Dollars?"
"Digi-Dollars? Oh yes well here rooms and meals are free as long as you learn something. If you don't learn something, then you must pay but it isn't a lot and doesn't have to be in Digi-Dollars," replied Digitammamon.
"Ok," said Davis.
"Well then lets see here," said Digitammamon searching through some papers, "I have four human rooms, but I'm afraid one of the rooms has only one big bed. And I have lots of Digimon sized rooms I assume that you'll want dinner sent to the rooms so you can get to bed faster and take some showers."
"That would be great, Thank you," replied Kari sliding off of TK's back and landing softly on the plush carpet.
Digitammamon rang a small bell, and a Gotsumon appeared from around the corner, "Gotsumon can you please show these digimon here where their rooms are, I'll personally take the humans." The Gotsumon nodded and motioned for the Digidestined digimon to follow him. The digimon said good- night to their partners and followed the Gotsumon to their rooms.
Digitammamon turned to the Digidestined and said, "Ok I guess we'll break you up into pairs, "Digitammamon looked at Ken and Yolei who were holding hands, "Well then I'm figuring you two are together, so here is your key," Digitammamon handed Yolei a key, "Now the rest of you we should do this by age. So who is the same age or close to the same age?"
"Me and Kari, she is twelve and I'm thirteen," quickly replied Davis putting his hand out.
Digitammamon looked a little suspicious, "And you two?" Digitammamon asked Mor and TK.
"Well I'm twelve, and she is thirteen," replied TK.
Digitammamon placed a key in Davis's and another in Kari's hand, Ok the twelve year olds together and the thirteen year olds together."
"What?!" yelled Davis and Mor together, "You can't do that!"
"Yes I can now do you want me to charge Digi-Dollars?" replied Digitammamon. All the Digidestined glared at Davis in Mor they didn't have a single Digi-Dollar.
"Umm... Digitammamon, I'm a year older then her, "said Cody pointing to Zoemi.
"Well that's fine you two will have to share a room," Digitammamon said handing Cody the last key, "Now your rooms are the last four on the right in that hall way I'm sure you wont have trouble just match the number on the door to the one on the key. Pull the red pull string for room service." With that Digitammamon left.
The Digidestined walked down the hall full of doors, "I wonder who has the big bed?" said Yolei.
"Yolei do you have to ask? It's obviously you and Ken," said Kari with a smile.
"I don't think so I has to be you and TK," smiled Yolei.
The fourth to last door was number H74, "That's ours," grumbled Davis as he opened the door, "Good-night see you guy EARLY tomorrow."
"Yeah EARLY, good-night," replied Mor.
"Good-night you two, we want you both alive tomorrow, "laughed Ken.
"Good-night," said the Digidestined together.
The door closed, Mor screamed, Davis cursed, "Your going to pay Digitammamon its bad enough we have to share a room but a bed to, that is just cruel!!"
The Digidestined laughed, "We were wrong."
"I hope they'll be alright," added Zoemi. She stopped in front of room H76, it was her's and Cody's. They all said good-night and went into their own rooms, Yolei and Ken in H80 and TK and Kari in H78.
The first thing everyone did was order dinner that was brought to the room by Gotsumon who entered the rooms through smaller Gotsumon sized doors that were in the human sized door. After dinner everyone went to sleep except Cody and Zoemi.
Zoemi sat on her bed and searched through her bag, while Cody searched their room. It was a good size room with white walls and two twin bed, decked in the same blue, green as the 'Digi-Egg decorations' a calming blue-green swirling like water. There was a night stand on each of the right sides of the bed and a long wood dresser on the opposite wall. Opposite the door was two more doors one leading to a small private bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. Cody opened the right door to revel a small closet that someone had left a couple mops in. Cody picked up a mop and examined it, it was just a normal old every day mop with a screw off top. Cody screwed off the top and then used the mop stick to practice his Kendo moves.
"What are you doing?" asked Zoemi.
"Practicing Kendo," replied Cody not looking up.
"Really?" said Zoemi. She put down her backpack and walked over to Cody she picked up the second mop and unscrewed the top. She stood facing Cody ready to fight. Cody struck her stick lightly and they began to spar, "We call this Judo. Kendo is something else that is just hand to hand."
"That's interesting for us it is the other way around," replied Cody, "It sounds like the languages of our two worlds are the same with a few minor differences like American English and Great Britain English, Mexican Spanish and Spain Spanish, France French and Canadian French, and High German, and Swiss-German. Zoemi nodded and tapped Cody on the right shoulder lightly with her stick.
----------
Kari walked into the bathroom with her backpack to take a shower. She came out ten minutes later, "You might want to wait a few minutes before taking a shower TK."
TK turned around and looked at Kari her hair was wet and messy looking, she was wearing her gym clothes, "Gym clothes?"
"Well I figured while I could I would take a shower and not sleep in my normal clothes," replied Kari.
"But why did you bring them here?" asked TK.
"Because we left on Friday right after school and on Fridays you, me, and Davis have gym," replied Kari speaking slowly.
TK hit his hand on his forehead, "Yes of course we did, do, whatever."
Kari laughed, "Well if you aren't going to take a shower then I think we should go to bed, you can count the blue lines on the carpet tomorrow."
"But we are leaving tomorrow, "whined TK, "I'm already at 1249."
Kari sighed and laid down in her bed she turn the lamp that sat on her nightstand off, "Then get up really early and finish, now turn off your light and go to sleep."
TK mocked Kari for a minute before he to laid down in his own bed and turned the light off.
----------
Davis and Mor were laying on the bed in the dark. Mor was balancing on the right edge, and Davis was balancing on the left edge. The blanket was just big enough to cover the bed. So Davis and Mor fell asleep fighting over the blanket. Neither would be nice and offer to sleep on the floor, so they came up with this compromise.
The air conditioning was on because outside it was rather hot. But neither Mor or Davis could make it warmer and instead of going even the slightest way towards the middle of the bed so that they could share the blanket and be warm they stayed as far away from each other as possible.
----------
Yolei and Ken kissed each other good-night and went to sleep.
----------
Cody and Zoemi sat on their beds facing each other, "So how is having two older sisters? Do you have any other siblings?" asked Cody.
"Two older sisters is tough, Patience is such a girly girl and Mor is such a tomboy, so I'm kind of mixed. Patience is patient, and always kind and gentle, while Mor is hot headed and sometimes obnoxious, but mostly kind and forgiving. I have a fourteen year old brother, Daizukegoalaedo(pronounced: Daisuke-goal-ae-doe)," replied Mor.
"Daisuke? That's Davis' real name."
"No it's Daizuke with a z, but we call him Dairen (pronounced: Dai- ren). But that's cool that Davis name is almost the same as my brothers. It would be freaky if Davis had strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes like my brother."
Zoemi and Cody continued to talk like that for another couple of hours, learning all they could about the others world and life. They finally got tired and went to bed.
----------
Davis rolled off the bed and hit the carpet hard. Davis woke up with a headache and climbed back into the bed, half asleep Davis laid more in the middle of the bed forgetting about Mor.
----------
Cody woke up Zoemi in the morning the two decided that they would go set up a big group breakfast and wake the others up, it was 6:00 and Zoemi and Cody believed that Mor and Davis might need medical attention.
Zoemi went to Mor and Davis's room backpack with medical supplies in hand. Cody went first to Yolei and Ken's room. They knocked on the doors, "Wake up you guys, we are going to eat breakfast together!"
Cody got an answering groan from Ken, "We're coming," Cody heard to feet touch the ground and then slowly walk to the other bed, "Yolei wake up." Cody heard Ken say as he walked to Kari and TK's room and knocked on the door.
"TK, Kari wake up! We're going to get breakfast together!" yelled Cody at the door.
"One minute Cody," replied Kari in a tired voice, "TK? TK I thought you were going to get up and count the blue lines on the carpet? TK get up!" a sound of a pillow flying through the air and then hitting skin was heard TK grumbled. Cody decided not to ask why he was going to count lines early in the morning.
Cody walked up to Zoemi, who was banging on the door suddenly they heard a body hit the floor and Mor yelling, "Davis we agreed! That we would sleep on opposite sides of the bed! I wake up to you rolling over and pushing me off the bed!"
"Wha?" asked Davis half awake. **Slap!** "Hey! What was that for?" Davis yelled fully awake.
"You pushed me off the bed!"
"And I'll do it again!" said Davis, Cody and Zoemi heard two bodies hit the floor and roll around in a poor fist fight.
"Mor stop that this instant, you two can't kill each other!" yelled Zoemi.
Cody added, "Davis we are going to eat BREAKFAST as a group come on!"
"Breakfast?" answered Davis. Cody and Zoemi laughed.
They both said loudly to the other's doors, "We'll meet you in the lobby!" Cody and Zoemi walked out to the lobby and sat down on a blue flowered old fashioned looking hard sofa and waited for the others.
A half an hour later, no one had come out of their rooms. Zoemi was worried that Davis and Mor really killed each other. So Cody and Zoemi walked back down the hall.
They stopped in front of Davis and Mor's room a struggle could be heard through the door, "Come on you two stop that!" yelled Zoemi trying the doorknob, but it was locked, "Go get the others Cody."
Cody nodded and walked to Ken and Yolei's room, "Ken, Yolei what is taking so long?"
"The door is jammed, "replied Ken.
"Cody how did you open your door?" asked Yolei.
Cody looked confused his door had no funny looking mechanisms or what not, "I turned the doorknob and pulled the door open, Well Zoemi did, but it wasn't hard."
"Well then ours is jammed can you get Digitammamon?" asked Ken.
"Yeah no problem, right after I make sure that TK and Kari are not a sleep or counting blue lines(?)," replied Cody.
"Ok? We wont ask," said Ken there was confusion in his voice.
Cody walked to TK and Kari's room he heard a bang on the door followed by an "Oww!"
"TK are you alright?" asked Cody and Kari.
"Yeah, yeah I am fine. Cody the door wont open," replied TK.
Cody said, "Neither will Ken and Yolei's door, I'm going to get Digitammamon."
"Oh wait we got an e-mail from Digitammamon," said Kari picking up the D-Terminal and reading loud enough for Cody to hear, "We regret to inform you that you didn't learn anything. So the charge is you time, you will stay in the room until you learn what you are meant to learn. Room service will still be running. Thank You – Digitammamon."
A scream was heard from Mor, Cody ran over to Zoemi, "What happened?"
"She read the e-mail, we better go talk to Digitammamon," replied Zoemi walking out of the hall way. Cody ran to the front desk and rang the bell. Digitammamon didn't answer the bell.
"Ok we are going to have to figure out what they have to learn," said Cody.
Zoemi nodded, "Yeah Its obvious what Mor and Davis must learn, they must learn to get along. But its going to take a miracle!"
"That's it! Davis has the Digi-Egg of Miracles," exclaimed Cody.
"I'm not following you."
"Ok Davis has three Digi-Eggs Courage, Friendship, and Miracles. We know that Mor at least will have the Digi-Egg of Forgiveness. So Davis will have to FORGIVE Mor and then she'll need to have the COURAGE to start a solid FRIENDSHIP creating the MIRACLE."
"I see but what about TK and Kari, Hope and Light. If I had to choose I would have to say that they would have to go out or admit that they love each other. Because it is obvious to everyone that they are meant to be together, except they don't realize it."
"That has to be it their minds have to realize what their hearts already know."
"Ken and Yolei are hard they are already going out, "said Zoemi putting a hand to her head and doing a 'Winnie the Pooh think...think'.
"Well I know that they love each other but I don't think they know why they love each other," replied Cody.
**Clap...clap** Cody and Zoemi turned around to face the door Digitammamon was standing there with Wizardmon.
"Well it is nice to see that you two have learned what you needed to and also found out what the others must learn. I'm sorry your not allowed to tell them, even if they would believe you," said Wizardmon, "Here let me explain I enlisted Digitammamon to help me test you and train you. Without this knowledge, this strength as you will. You wont be strong enough to defeat this new evil. Now I have a question for you two, what did you learn?"
"We learned about each other," replied Zoemi.
Wizardmon made a 'yeah I'll except that as half credit face', "Well that is half of it. You two are both very shy and quiet, as well as the two youngest. You two are more mature then any other Digidestined excluding TK and Kari but that's because they had to create the same alliance as you have created last night, when they were younger. You two are very important and need to be heard or else Davis and Mor will lead the Digidestined blind. They need your Responsibility, Knowledge, and Reliability to make it. If you two didn't become such good friends you would have stayed quiet when only one of you could solve the problem."
"How do you know so much about us?" asked Cody.
"Don't you recognize me?" asked Wizardmon.
Cody and Zoemi looked hard at Wizardmon, "Candlemon?" asked Zoemi.
Wizardmon nodded.
"Gatomon's Wizardmon?" asked Cody.
Wizardmon nodded, "Ok now you two enjoy the break you have and not a word of me to anyone especially Gatomon, I'll tell her when it is time."
Cody and Zoemi just nodded and Wizardmon turned around and walked out the door.
----------
"Kari what are you doing?" asked TK as Kari pulled out her English book. It was a very watered down version of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by R. L. Stevenson. Level four out of six but it was shortened to only seventy pages. Kari, and TK's English teacher gave it to them on Friday they where supposed to read chapter one and write questions over the story.
"Doing homework, its learning we are supposed to learn something, and since there is nothing else to do I figured this would be a good way to pass the time till lunch," replied Kari, "come on TK read with me."
"My Engleesh pro-nun-ci-a-shi-on is no guud," replied TK in English with a smile, "So you can read to me, so I hear the correct pronunciation."
"Well get over her then, you aren't going to learn pronunciation if you don't see what you are pronouncing," replied Kari putting her free hand on the bed beside her.
TK sighed and walked over to the bed he sat on the edge and put his left arm behind Kari's back and swung his feet up onto the bed, "Ok you read some and then I'll read some."
Kari opened the book to the first page a sort of prologue, and read, "'DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE... Have you ever wished to be someone else?'" Kari stopped after reading that first sentence and looked at TK expecting him to read on.
TK sighed and read, "'Have you ever looked at someone you know and thought, 'He does what he wants. Why shouldn't I do what I want?''" TK looked back at Kari expecting her to read the next three sentences at least.
"What?" Kari said innocently, "I forgot how to read that way of writing, you'll have to read the whole thing to me." Kari smiled.
"Oh I do? Do I?" asked TK with a sly look. He picked up his left arm and began to tickle Kari, Kari was laughing for a few minutes before she dropped the book and fought back. TK had to stop tickling Kari and pin her hands back from his stomach. The end result was TK leaning over Kari, while she laid on the bed. Kari's right arm being held down by TK's left hand and her left arm by TK's right hand. Kari was looking into TK's blue eyes trying to make a puppy dog face while trying to struggle free.
TK thought, **Wow, she is so beautiful, I love that smile and her playful nature, but I also love how she can always be serious and hard working. She really is the light at the end of it all. And I love her.** TK leaned his face towards Kari's, his heart skipped a beat. The door to their room made a half clicking noise as if someone turned the key only half way. As quickly as the thought of love slipped into TK's mind was as fast as it was gone. "Gotcha," TK smiled.
"So I lose, you read?" asked Kari with a hopeful smile.
TK smiled and let go of Kari's hands, "Sure I'll read." TK picked up the book while Kari sat up. TK and Kari returned to their previous reading position this time TK had the book and he read on more then just two sentences.
----------
The door to Kari and TK's room locked completely again. Wizardmon who wanted to see how all of this ended walked out of the shadows with an angry, yet worried and inquisitive expression, "Every last time either one of them realizes it is love they push the thought quickly out of their heads, maybe they really are to young to think of such things. No, no they aren't When the realize that it is true love they always get interrupted and THEN loose the thought. I hope with just the two of them around that there is no more distractions and their mind's wont forget it is true love."
Wizardmon returned to the shadows he wanted no one to know that he was still there it would ruin everything. Wizardmon turned his attention to Davis and Mor.
----------
"You made my nose bleed!" yelled Davis holding a wet cloth to his up turned nose.
"I know I'm so sorry Davis, I didn't mean to," replied Mor.
Davis glared at her, "If you didn't mean to, why did you punch me in the nose?!" Davis was full of anger that was fed by the pain.
"Fine Davis! Don't come near me!" yelled Mor slamming the bathroom door on Davis and lying on the bed. A tear trickled down her cheek it was only a single tear, Mor brushed it away. She really was sorry he had just got her so mad because he pushed her off the bed twice. He had started it and she tried to finish it but he wouldn't forgive her.
----------
Yolei and Ken were using their time in 'prison' to make out. Yolei pulled away when Ken's hand pulled her shirt up some. Yolei pulled her shirt down again.
"What's wrong Yolei?" asked Ken.
She looked at him, "Ken what do you really want out of this relationship?" Yolei said a little hot headed.
"What do you mean by that? You know I love you."
"Do I Ken? We are thirteen something's aren't expectable for thirteen year olds to do and some are. So please don't tell me your taking me as a slut."
"Yolei...I..."
"We should be using our energy trying to escape instead of enjoying the imprisonment! And don't you use I'm a teenage guy for an excuse. Just because you have raging hormones and a girl stuck in the room with you doesn't mean you have to have sex with her!"
"Yolei... I...you... Wait! Your just a girl? Stuck in a room with me? Like we were Mor and Davis who didn't want to be paired together? Yolei are you breaking up with me?"
Yolei hesitated, "... Umm... Yes, yes I am. I think you really don't know me at all!"
"I don't know you? Well you don't know me either then!" yelled Ken, he got off of Yolei's bed and laid on his own bed back away from Yolei.
----------
Wizardmon shook his head, he hoped that this wouldn't take more then a week or than the Dark Digidestined would be to far ahead and the new ultimate evil would have finished assembling.
----------
"Cody where is Davis and the others?" asked Veemon walking up to Cody and Zoemi, in the lobby.
Cody and Zoemi looked to find that all the digimon where there, "..." was Cody's and Zoemi's only response.
"We got worried because it is almost dark and we haven't left yet," said Armadillomon.
"... They didn't learn anything, so they are paying with their time, until they learn what the must, they can't leave," replied Cody.
"Cody!" said Zoemi surprised that Cody told the digimon.
"Well they should know what's happening," Said Cody, Zoemi looked into his eyes and nodded.
Wormmon stepped forward, "Well we should help them."
"That's what we wanted to do, but we can't and neither can you," said Zoemi, "now we should probably all go back to our rooms and prepare for dinner and bed."
The digimon nodded although they didn't fully understand, everyone returned to their rooms and ordered dinner.
----------
Ken rolled over he was ready to apologize to Yolei. Ken slowly stood up and walked to the far side of Yolei's bed which was the way she was already facing. Ken laid a hand on her should but she was already asleep.
"I'm sorry Yolei, I guess I just got caught in the heat of the moment. But I wanted you to know that I wouldn't do anything that both you and I weren't ready for. So I'm very sorry for the way I acted and don't blame you for breaking up with me." Ken kissed Yolei on the forehead before covering her with the blanket and going into the bathroom to take a shower.
----------
Davis walked out of the bathroom it had taken a couple hours for his nose to stop bleeding. Davis walked over to the bed and saw that Mor was already a sleep, her face was stained with a few tears. Davis didn't feel bad at all for making her cry, she might have been really sorry for hurting him, but he wasn't going to forgive her.
Davis grabbed his pillow and laid it on the thick carpet. The only blanket that either of them had was laying under Mor and Davis didn't feel like waking her or covering her. He no longer minded the cold of the air conditioned room or the semi hard floor. He didn't want to be in the same bed with a girl who would freak out if he rolled over.
----------
Ken got out of the shower a few drops of blood fell to the floor, Ken didn't notice. He got dressed and went back out to bed.
A few hours later Yolei woke up. She felt gragy and grimy she needed a shower. Yolei got out of her warm bed and walked into the seemingly white and blue bathroom. She pulled off her shirt and pants, right when she stepped into the shower she noticed blood on the floor. **I wonder what Ken cut himself on?** thought Yolei.
Yolei stepped into the shower and turned the warm water on. She picked up a lone razor that was by the bar or soap, **I didn't know that Ken shaved, or that the digimon had razors and I know that neither Ken nor I brought a razor or did he?** Yolei looked the razor over it was a yellow Bic single blade razor. Yolei looked at the blade of the razor to see if it had been used or if Bic was just selling in the Digital World now. The blade was covered with fresh blood that was slowly washing down the drain. Yolei was shocked she dropped the razor and fumbled to turn the water off.
Yolei stumbled out of the tub and quickly wrapped her semi wet hair in a towel. Yolei pulled on her underwear, the towel fell onto the floor over Ken's blood. Yolei picked up the white towel to only drop it again when she saw the blood stains.
Yolei forgot about the rest of her clothes and quickly wrapped the light blue hotel robe around her body and she burst out of the bathroom turning on Ken's bedside lamp.
Ken was peacefully sleeping on his back, Yolei smiled he seemed alright. Yolei's smile quickly disappeared when she noticed Ken's left arm that he had over his head, the wrist was red and scabs were forming over the few hour old cuts.
Anger took Yolei over, anger at Ken for doing such a thing to himself, anger at herself for breaking up with him, the most likely reason he had done it. Yolei reached and held Ken's left wrist tightly in her right hand.
Ken woke up almost immediately and looked at Yolei with tears in her eyes, "Why Ken? Why?" she cried.
Ken pulled his arm away from her and hid it in shame, "...I... just w...want...wanted to s... see if it still didn't cause me pain," Ken stuttered looking down at the bed spread.
Yolei was crying, "Oh I'm so sorry!" She fell to her knees crying into Ken's bed spread, "It's all my fault!"
Ken brushed Yolei's hair away from her face with his left hand and lifted her chin up with his right, "Listen to me, it's not your fault. Come sit, and I'll tell you what happened."
Yolei nodded wiping tears away and she climbed under the covers next to Ken. "Ok when I was younger, not to much younger a little before I became Digimon Emperor I was very depressed. No one every questioned me about it I was a genius they all thought I was just pondering the secrets of the universe. I took it as no one loved me anymore. So one day I took a razor blade intending on killing myself. The first cut was only a little nick the ones that hurt more then when you have a deeper cut, but I felt no pain..." Yolei began to cry again, Ken wiped her tears away and held her tight, "so I continued to try and kill myself I tried a whole day and could never muster enough courage to cut deeper then the harmless painless nicks. Shortly after I became the Digimon Emperor and found that I didn't have to try and cause myself pain, I could cause these creatures pain. After that I didn't want pain because I had the Digidestined my friends, and most of all you."
"But you tried again because I broke up with you, because of me..." Yolei cried.
"No Yolei, no," Ken comforted, "I told you I just wanted to see if it still didn't hurt. When I saw the razor in the bathroom I just gave myself a nick expecting the result to be the same that I was an emotionless, feeling less person. But I felt the pain, I was so happy that I cut myself a few more times to make sure I wasn't imaging the pain. See Yolei only three cuts," Ken held out his left wrist so Yolei could see the almost healed faint cuts, "see Yolei that's why I love you, because you loved me and made me feel again. You brought meaning to my life, with your purple hair and glass, your inquisitive mind and kind, loving heart. You wouldn't lie to a soul and that's what I love about you. I meant to tell you earlier but I couldn't, I'm sorry Yolei, I guess I just got caught in the heat of the moment. But I wanted you to know that I wouldn't do anything that both you and I weren't ready for. So I'm very sorry for the way I acted and don't blame you for breaking up with me." Ken knew he just repeated what he said when Yolei slept but she still needed to hear it.
Yolei hugged Ken, "Oh I'm so sorry, I felt so bad about not just saying I wanted to take it slowly, and blowing up at you the way I did. When I saw the blood I got so scared that you weren't sleeping in your bed that you were dead. I need you Ken, I know how you feel I was never the popular one, and spent most of my time with computers. I think even that half the e- mails that Tai, Izzy, Matt, and TK received during the battle on the internet were from me. You and the other Digidestined brought people into my life. You Ken brought kindness and love to me. I love the way that you would do so much for all your friends and how you don't mind being second or even third in command. And your sincerity it even out beats my own, I love the way you let your pain show unlike many other guys that I know. I love you." Yolei was crying. Ken looked Yolei in the eye and dried her tears. He slowly leaned closer to Yolei making sure that she wouldn't object. Yolei leaned forward a little, Ken kissed Yolei on the lips softly.
Ken looked into Yolei's eyes, "I love you, will you go out with me?"
Yolei smiled, "Who ever said we broke up?"
Ken laughed and kissed her again, "I don't know it was just some rumor I heard."
"Well you shouldn't trust a rumor," said Yolei as she laid down in the bed.
"Yeah your right," said Ken reaching over Yolei and turning of the light.
"Of course I am, I'm always right. Good-Night Ken."
Ken smiled, "Good-Night Yolei I love you."
----------
Wizardmon smiled as the lock on Ken and Yolei's door made a clicking noise.
----------
Ken and Yolei woke up late the next morning. Yolei with a big smile on her face went to the bathroom and got dressed. While she brushed her hair she walked to the door completely forgetting that it was locked.
Yolei's Right hand rested on the door knob while her left hand brushed her hair. "Yolei what are you doing?" asked Ken.
"Going to see if the others are awake," replied Yolei pulling down on the doorknob.
"Did you forget? The door is ..." Ken was cut off by the surprise of seeing Yolei pull the door open.
Still absentmindedly Yolei stepped out of the door and then turn towards Ken. She had just realized what she had done, "The door is open Ken!"
"I Know I can see," replied Ken running out of the door. They quickly walked into the lobby only to find Cody and Zoemi lounging on the old fashioned sofa.
Cody jumped up in seeing Yolei and Ken, "You learned why you loved each other!"
"Is that all we had to learn but we already knew that," replied Ken.
Zoemi stood up, "No I think you had to make the reason more aware to yourself and her."
"Ok you two have a lot of explaining," said Yolei.
"We know come and sit down it is a long story," replied Cody. Who sat back down on the sofa Zoemi, Ken and Yolei followed suit, and Cody began.
---------- ~ Two Days Later~
Davis was pacing up and down writing in a notebook that he normally kept Math notes in. **Day four, this torture is unbearable. I can't stand Mor, we've fought every single day, and she makes me miss most of my meals. The wounds that she has inflicted upon me are the bloody nose, plus uncountable cuts and scratches...**
Mor stooped leaning against the wall and began to pace, reading to herself what she had wrote on a piece of paper she had found, ** Day four, this torture is unbearable. I can't stand Davis, we've fought every single day, and he makes me cry like a little girl. The wounds that he has inflicted upon me are not bad, just uncountable cuts and scratches...**
Davis and Mor bumped into each other, Davis dropped his pen that he was writing with. Mor bent down and picked up the pen, she handed it to Davis, "I'm sorry, here."
"Oh, it's no problem," replied Davis continuing pacing. Mor looked at Davis in shock, he had just forgiven her, even if it was small and pointless, Davis still forgave Mor. Mor wrote, **Maybe he isn't that bad after all...**
Mor put down her pad of paper and walked over to the bed she took out a pack of cards and proceeded to play Gin Rummy by herself.
Davis watched as Mor dealt the cards and began to play her game. Davis could see that it was not an interesting game. Davis began to feel sorry for her, he should have been nicer she was just a girl who was transported to another dimension and then another, being told she couldn't go home, He wrote before putting down the pad of paper, **Maybe she isn't that bad after all...**
Davis walked over and sat across from Mor on the bed, "Can I play?"
Mor smiled, "Yeah." Mor picked up the cards and shuffled. After she dealt the cards out for Gin Rummy. Davis went first he took the face up card and discarded a two.
"You know that you are very tough, I've never fought a guy that was as tough as you," said Davis beginning the small talk while the game played.
"Yeah I take Judo and Kendo."
"Well that's cool," said Davis picking up a face down card. The game continued and when it was finished another began they talked, laughed and played the same peaceful game for an hour.
"Hey I'm sorry Davis, your actually really cool I wish I didn't start the fight between us," said Mor.
"Don't worry about it I'll forgive you, what are friends for? Anyways it was I who started the fight."
"Well lets just forget about it ok, friends?" Mor asked extending her hand to Davis.
"Friends." Davis shook Mor's hand and then hugged her.
They heard a click as the door unlocked. Both Mor and Davis stopped hugging and looked at each other, then at the door. They scrambled off the bed and ran to the door. Mor held her hand over the doorknob afraid that when she turned it that it wouldn't open.
Davis held Mor's hand to the doorknob and they opened it slowly. Both Mor and Davis took one step out of the door and then turned around and looked at the threshold that had taken four days to re-cross. Davis then turned and looked at Mor he smiled.
Mor smiled back and swung her arms around his neck hugging him, "We did it! We are out of that room! I love you!" Mor pulled a little away from Davis arms still around his neck, she looked serious for the next part, "well not literally," Mor jumped a little, Davis swung her around, "not literally, but I love you!"
Mor and Davis stopped their happy dance when they noticed a shocked Cody, Zoemi, Yolei, and Ken standing in the hallway watching them.
"Yeah well I think someone need to explain exactly what happened in the last four days," said Davis, Mor nodded.
The other's nodded, "Come on we'll tell you in the Lobby," said Zoemi.
---------- ~ Two More Days Later~
"How long have we been here Kari?" asked TK waking up on their sixth morning.
"This will be day six, I'm pretty sure. What can we do today?" asked Kari.
"Well lets see we've done our history home plus extra reading, our Math homework plus the next math chapter, We finished the book for English writing questions for every chapter, And we finished our observation sheet from the science experiment on Friday, We've started our own observations on our own experiment, 'Behind Locked Doors'(a dairy of what had happened the last four days that is compiled in a way to show how two best friends can live together, they plan on adding how Mor and Davis turned out and passing it in on Monday for extra credit)."
Kari laughed, "Don't forget we counted the blue lines on the carpet 96 times the grand total being 4836."
"4838 I'm telling you, you miss counted," laughed TK, "but what are we going to do?"
Kari sat up and got out of bed she walked over to TK's bed, he was still laying down. Kari pushed TK over some, he laughed as she struggled to move him all but ten centimeters.
"Watch your leg Kari," said TK moving over another ten centimeters.
Kari climbed into the bed next to him, "my leg has been healed for three days TK," Kari laid her head on TK's shoulder, "tell me a story TK please."
TK sighed and put his arm more comfortably around Kari, "Alright," TK's voice changed to a low story telling coo, "there once was a princess..."
"And her name?" asked Kari with a smile.
"Hikari. Princess Hikari lived in a large kingdom where darkness never lay, and war was never heard of. One day Hikari's cat like friend from another kingdom, Gatomon came bearing bad news. The news was that the rulers of the nine dark kingdoms, Fear, Rivalry, Hate, Deception, Uncertainty, Ignorance, Malevolence, Darkness, and Apathy, were uniting and declaring war on the eight light kingdoms, Courage, Friendship, Love, Serenity, Reliability, Knowledge, Kindness, and Light..."
"And where is hope?" asked Kari.
"Do you want me to continue on in the story?" asked TK, Kari nodded, "But the worst of all news is that some new ultimate evil had formed and not even the dark kingdoms knew what the evil was, that had pulled them together into forced alliance.
War was coming and the good was out numbered, but the Lord of Courage, believed with all his heart that they would succeed, and peace would once again be returned.
Before to much could be done the Light of Princess Hikari was stolen and a Darkness fell over the kingdom. The darkness frightened to poor people of the kingdom, until it mustered into Hate, Deception and Rivalry, all hope was lost for this once bright kingdom.
On the same fateful night that a siege broke loose in the kingdom of Light the Wanderer of Hope knocked on the place gates. The hopeful Stranger was brought to Princess Hikari. When he entered the room he bowed deeply and said, 'I am Takeru Wanderer of Hope. I am here to offer you princess of Light my services, and the sad news that you must leave your kingdom now if you wish to live, because a revolt is brewing in the town. You must leave these walls and reclaim your Light. Come with me now princess.' Takeru held his hand out to the princess and looked at her with hopeful blue eyes. The princess Hikari nodded and took his hand they fled the castle and kingdom telling all that they saw who were still loyal to Hikari to flee to a neighboring kingdom and that Hikari would return with the light and peace.
Before Hikari and Takeru stepped outside the city walls an old peddler woman stopped them, 'Princess...'
'Yes,' replied Hikari she felt sorry for the woman, Hikari had not known that poverty was a thing in her kingdom, she always made sure that the people had food and water.
'Don't worry about me I'm a peddler by choice. Now I must tell you that you will not find the light out there,' the woman held her hand to the far horizon and panned across it with her old shaky bones, 'You must look in here and here,' the peddler placed a shaky bony finger on Hikari's head and then moved it to her heart. The woman picked Hikari's hand up and placed it in Takeru's, "don't loose hope, ever. Now go!' the peddler pushed Hikari and Takeru out of the kingdom. Hikari turned around to see that the palace was ablaze...."
TK continued to tell his story that was using the Digidestined, Dark Digidestined, and Digimon in a pretend world all morning and into the afternoon. Kari found the story to be very interesting, although she knew there would have to be a happy ending, she didn't know what it was. Kari then thought maybe this once happiness wouldn't come, she knew that TK wouldn't be giving up hope in their real life pursuit, and this was just a story using real life people. Much like the bed time stories parents tell their children where all the girls are princesses and the boys heroes.
Kari listened intensively as Takeru and Hikari went to each of the light kingdoms asking for help and receiving the help from four worriers(of course they were Davis, Ken, Yolei, and Cody) before the six of them trekked across land and sea to where the darkness dwelled year round.
Kari and TK were sitting up in TK's bed, Kari was really getting into the story not realizing that it was late afternoon and they hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch.
"In the midst of the battle Hikari's cat like friend was struck nothing fatal she would live but it stirred Hikari the wrong way she dropped to the ground loosing all hope she had left. Takeru saw this and quickly struck his current foe and ran to Hikari's side. Takeru picked the princess up and dried her tears he held her hand tightly in his..." TK and grabbed a hold of Kari's hand like in his story.
"And then?" Kari asked.
"'I love you,' said Takeru.", replied TK but the 'said Takeru' was hardly heard. TK realized that in tell this made up story her was tell Kari the truth that he did love her. TK moved his face closer to Kari's she didn't back away.
"And then?" Kari asked expecting TK to start speaking again.
TK lifted Kari's chin with his hand that didn't hold hers. He brought her face to his and kissed her on the lips staying like that for a second. TK pulled away only five centimeters or so, "That happened," TK let go of Kari's chin and slowly went back to the way they were before, only still holding hands.
Kari just starred at him, the kiss hadn't made her mad, it had made her realize the truth. TK resumed his story telling voice, "Hikari just stared at the wanderer of Hope his blue eyes told that it was the truth," Kari nodded slightly, "Hikari realized that through it all, that she too knew the truth..."
"I love you, TaKeru" whispered Kari leaning towards TK, the rest of TK's name Takeru was barely heard, it sounded like TK.
TK put his free hand on Kari's cheek and brought her face to his. He leaned forward and kissed Kari once again, but this time deeper and longer. TK went to pull away again to quickly finish the story. But Kari wrapped her arm around TK's neck in held him close to her, pulling TK back into their passionate kiss.
The door made a faint full clicking noise, that neither TK or Kari heard.
----------
"Why are Kari and TK taking longer to learn whatever it is, then it took me and Davis to learn the be friends?" asked Mor. Cody, Zoemi, Ken and Yolei opted not to tell Mor and Davis that TK and Kari would have to realize that they were in love, mainly for Davis' sake.
----------
Wizardmon stood in the hallway, he stepped once again out of the shadows this time smiling. He quietly turned the door knob and pushed the door so it was just barely noticeably open. In the dark not even a sliver of light would shine through the crack that Wizardmon left. Wizardmon retreated back into the shadows.
----------
TK placed both hands on Kari's cheeks and pulled away he looked deep into her eyes and then gave her a quick kiss on the nose, "I'm going to go get dressed, you can get dressed out here." Both TK and Kari had gotten into the habit of sleeping in their gym clothes. TK got off the bed and picked up his regular clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Kari heard the shower running, she got up and changed into her normal clothes and then brushed her hair. After she was all done grooming herself she made her own bed and then TK's bed.
Kari heard the water stop running, she laid down on TK's bed the short way, her feet hanging off the bed on the door side of the room. After a minute Kari sat up and looked at the door. She stared at the door it seemed 3-d well obviously it was 3-d but now you could see it.
TK walked out of the bathroom and walked up from behind Kari. He put his arms around her and looked down at her. Kari looked up at TK who gave her an upside down kiss.
A few drops of water from TK's hair dropped on Kari's cheek. Kari pulled away wiping her cheek, "Oh TK your wet!"
"Is it really that bad?" TK said ring as much water as he could from his short hair down Kari's back. Kari jumped when the cold water slid down her back, she screamed. Kari pulled away from TK and ran toward the door.
Kari stood in front of the door with her hands in a defensive position. TK laughed and slowly walked to Kari. Kari playfully swung a punch at him. TK caught her arms and twisted her around so she was in front of him, facing away. TK was hold Kari's hands that were crossed in front of her. TK cradled Kari like that and leaned against the door. TK was surprised to feel wood against his back and to move backwards another centimeter.
"The door is open!" TK said letting go of Kari and opened the door.
TK turned back to Kari all smiles, he hugged her and gave her a quick kiss. "TK a secret ok? I love you," Kari said giving TK a long kiss.
"I love you too," replied TK walking out into the hall. TK and Kari checked everyone's door excluding Yolei and Ken's which was in the opposite direction. TK and Kari heard not a single noise in either Cody and Zoemi's, or Davis and Mor's room. They walked out of the hall and into the lobby where all the Digidestined and Digimon where talking to each other.
"Hey you guys how long have you been here?" asked Kari walking up from behind them.
"Kari!" said Davis with a big smile and turning his head to see Kari. Mor quickly caught his head, and brought it back to face hers. She thought quickly and gave Davis a fast kiss on the lips. No one seemed to realize what Mor had did they were to relieved to see Kari and TK.
Mor put her face really close to Davis, "Hey sorry man. It was the only thing I could think of to stop you from rejuvenating that crush of yours."
"Hey don't worry about it, I was just happy they got out of their room. But thanks for stopping any of those thoughts. You forgive me right?" Davis whispered back.
"As long as you forgive me," Mor said, Davis nodded. Mor's voice turned back to normal ton, "of course I'll forgive you, you silly goose." Mor playfully slapped Davis' shoulder.
One of the Digi-Egg looking decorations began to glow purple, "I knew it was a Digi-Egg!" exclaimed Cody when he saw the glowing egg.
"Is it, it mine?" asked Mor.
"Well try and pick it up," said Ken.
Mor walked over and picked up the light blue-green Digi-Egg. A D-Terminal formed in her pocket and a purple light shot up from the pillar.
Yolei already had the laptop ready when a green dinosaur like digimon appeared, it was obvious a four legged creature with a long neck, "Prehimon Level: Rookie, Type: Data, Attacks: Pepper Breath, and herd's stampede."
"That's like Agumon, Pepper breath." Replied Kari.
Prehimon leapt into Mor's arms, "Hello nice to meet you I'm Prehimon."
"Mor, nice to meet you to," replied Mor putting Prehimon down on the floor.
**Clap, clap** They all turned to face the door, once again Digitammamon was standing there with Wizardmon. Wizardmon looked over the group and said, "Well yes I in trust that everyone except Kari and TK knew the details of your test. I'm happy to say you have all passed, all though TK and Kari took longer then I expec..."
"Wizardmon?" asked Gatomon pushing her way through the others to get a better look at Wizardmon, "Your alive!" Gatomon said smiling as tears ran down her cheeks. Gatomon ran and hugged Wizardmon who returned the hug.
"Hey don't cry Gatomon, don't worry we'll talk later ok. I need to tell the Digidestined something very important first," replied Wizardmon, Gatomon nodded but didn't let go, "Ok, yes well I expected you two to figure out the answer a lot sooner. Now that everyone has a Digi-Egg except Ken of course. You must get off this island and head east to find Luna. You have one more night of staying in the Green Grass Inn." Wizardmon walked outside followed by Gatomon so they could catch up on what had happened.
"So what did you guy do for the past six days?" asked TK.
"Well we got out on the second morning, after we told each other why we loved each other which was what we had to learn," said Yolei.
"We got out on day four, after endless fights we learned to forgive, forget, and be friends," said Davis.
"We basically have done nothing waiting for you two. And what did you guys do for six days?" asked Zoemi.
"Well all of or homework is done," said Kari.
"And plus some, we started recording what happened while we were stuck in the room we need you guys to tell us what happened to you so we can compile it together and we can all pass a copy in as extra credit," added TK.
"Even English?" asked Davis shocked.
TK and Kari nodded, "We finished the book."
"You didn't count blue lines?" Cody asked jokingly.
"No we did 96 times over, we never agreed on the correct number of lines he says 4838 and I say 4836. That reminds me I never heard the end of that story TK," replied Kari.
"Oh yes, yes," TK said shifting his voice back to the quiet storytelling ton, "And with those words from the princess of light, the light that had been stolen appeared in her hands and radiate its light all across the place of darkness. The light went all the way back to Hikari's kingdom and chased all the shadows from the world, forcing the ultimate evil underground to stay for all eternity. The war was immediately ending in a victory for good. The four worrier , and the princess returned home. The Wanderer of hope having no true home was invited to live with the princess in her kingdom. He agreed to stay until another kingdom had lost their hope and he would have to leave again. Luckily hope was never lost and the wanderer and princess lived happily ever after."
"That really has got to be my favorite story, you should write it down and publish it," replied Kari with a big smile.
"Ok we really aren't going to ask, we'll just leave it as you two were REALLY bored and might be going crazy," said Mor laughing.
"Hey we might be crazy but we would have to be for like 482 years and only miss school on Monday," said Kari.
TK added, "At least we did our homework, instead of fighting."
"Ok, ok TK, Kari lets not fight over this, why don't we go get some dinner," said Davis.
"It sounds like a good idea but Davis what did you call TK?" asked Cody.
"TK, why?" answered Davis.
"Oh no reason, Come on well eat at the restaurant part of the hotel," said Yolei dragging Ken down a hall that led to a restaurant.
Everyone followed except Kari who ran out the front door. Kari saw that Wizardmon and Gatomon were sitting on the grass talking and watching the sunset, "We'll be in the restaurant when your ready to come in!" Kari yelled, Gatomon turned her head and nodded.
Kari went back inside and ran to find the others who were sitting at a big table and giving the Gotsumon their orders. There were two empty seats between TK and Yolei, one for Kari the other for Gatomon, Kari sat in the seat closer to TK.
Their food came quick and they ate rather quickly. Towards the end of the meal Davis asked Mor, "You have to teach me some Judo moves Mor ok?"
"Umm... Davis in their world Judo is Kendo and Kendo is Judo. So when you want to learn our Judo you have to learn their Kendo," replied Cody.
"Ok then," said Davis confused, "Can you teach me Kendo then?"
"Only if you can catch me," said Mor with a smile rushing up from the table. Davis ran after her, while everyone laughed at the two and their odd but good friendship.
The digimon began badgering, the remaining Digidestined into a game of Digi- tag (without attacks). Cody and Zoemi agreed and they all looked expectantly at Ken, TK, Yolei, and Kari. Ken and Yolei said they might join later, but not three seconds after they ate. TK and Kari just politely declined, the digimon, Cody, and Zoemi left the table to go play their game.
Yolei got up from the table and motioned Kari to follow her. Kari looked at Ken and then at TK before she followed Yolei, out of the restaurant.
"Ok TK, umm... this is hard to explain," said Ken turning to TK, "well Cody and Zoemi had figured out what we all needed to learn so that the door would unlock. They told me and Yolei, but not the digimon and not Mor and Davis. What you two needed to do was realize and take action on what your hearts have known for many years now. We know you two are in love, and that you are going out."
"Are we really that transparent?" asked TK.
"Well actually it was more noticeable that you guys loved each other before we came here, but yeah it is. So congratulations!" said Ken with a smile.
"If we get back home before Saturday night, or if it isn't to late on Friday night, we should double date or something you know a movie with you and Yolei, and me and Kari," said TK.
"Yeah, yeah sure, lets go find the girls," said Ken getting up from the table.
----------
"Ok Kari, umm... this is hard to explain," said Yolei bring Kari down a random empty hallway, "well Cody and Zoemi had figured out what we all needed to learn so that the door would unlock. They told me and Ken, but not the digimon and not Mor and Davis. What you two needed to do was realize and take action on what your hearts have known for many years now. We know you two are in love, and that you are going out." Yolei and Ken had decided what they would say to TK and Kari if they tried to pretend they weren't in love, a few nights before.
"Don't tell Davis ok, I think he'll freak out," said Kari.
Yolei nodded, "He'll figure it out on his own. And I think he'll be fine with it remember he called TK, TK," said Yolei. Kari nodded, they turned around and headed back to get Ken and TK.
Ken and TK met them in the lobby. Kari quickly went outside to tell Gatomon and the digimon (including Zoemi and Cody) that were playing Digi-tag, that they were going to sleep, it was already dark and late. Then Kari took TK's hand and they walked down the hall with Ken and Yolei, saying good-night. The two couples entered their rooms and prepared for their most likely last night in a warm bed for a while.
Author's Note: Yay! I thought it was a good chapter but then again I wrote it. You've got to tell me what you thought, and tell me if you didn't think it was funny, some parts were meant to be very funny while others utterly sad. Well I'm going to say what I forgot to say last time, I request creation credit if you use any of my Dark Digidestined, Fear, Rivalry, Hate, Deception, Uncertainty, Ignorance, Malevolence, Darkness, and Apathy, along with Thundramon, Faemon, and Prehimon (assuming and hoping that there wasn't a previously made Thundramon, Faemon, and Prehimon because that I don't know). I also have recently read many other peoples Digimon fan fics and realize everyone seems to use despair and the opposite of hope, well Apathy is the same thing (I had fun with dictionary.com Thesaurus which gives Synonyms and Anonyms I'm telling you just the words Apathy and Malevolence are so fun! So credit to my fav dictionary, dictionary.com) ok Happy Reading!
