The Truth

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, or any of its characters.

Authors Note: Short Chapter beware! Sorry for the late update I wont make excuses but I have a great story to tell you. I was getting ready to update fanfics so I went to remove my brother from my room and my monitor and its shelf fell down! Which took down my Zen garden (miniature) so I spent the morning soaking keyboard keys in bleach water, cleaning the board with Witch Hazel, cleaning my mouse and fixing/cleaning my desk in general. Perhaps the fates didn't want me to write fanfics, well screw them:P I sure showed them :giggles: Happy Reading!

Part 3: Ken Ichijoujii and Iori Hida: In Absence, Forgotten

Chapter 3.3: Times

What is it about parents? They say they are "too busy" and ignore the fact that you fell asleep in your clothes sitting up at four in the morning. Not to mention that in you animated sleep you knocked the pocky pack over and now the chocolate melted on your chest. But they still wake you up to go down to Yolei's store and but prune juice for grandpa and eggs for mom, and of course take the stale bread to the park and feed it to the ducks. To ensure that the two boys were out of the house and back home by 13:00 they were awoken at eight in the morning. Parent's are crazy, plain and simple.

The stiff bodies of Ken and Cody were well stiff, and their groggy, cobweb filled minds didn't help as it took Mrs. Hida three tries in an hour to get either of the two boys to stand. Ken stood on wobbly feet as he tried to work circulation back into them and the kinks out of his neck. Cody was in the same situation, till he started to laugh half out of bring tired and half from the point that Ken had popcorn stuck to his hair with soda. Ken tried to glare but burst into giggles instead as he pulled a pocky stick out of Cody's own hair.

The laughing immediately stopped and the race for the bathroom began. Ken won, as he hurriedly locked the door and pealed off his clothes, they were sticky and smelled. He wrinkled up his nose and threw the offensive articles in the corner. Ken turned on the shower and watched as steam filled the room. The hot turrets engulfed the boy and the smell of high fructose corn syrup (sugar) and caramel coloring/flavor melting and saggy popcorn filled the room.

It took Ken's hair two shampoo rounds before it smoothed out and than as he felt sleep take him over he quickly shut off the hot water and finished his shower in cold.

Ken exited the bathroom in a towel and quickly headed to Cody's room to change as Cody rushed in to the bathroom to take his own long shower. After they were both dressed they sat down to their 11 O'clock breakfast that was long and slow both boys took up drinking coffee, black and through their four cups a piece they complained about the disgusting bitter taste (A/N: don't get me wrong I love Coffee I loved it so much I quit and shortly after had to quit caffeine as well, sad I know).

Cody's parents had found the whole ordeal quite entertaining, and happily sent them on their drowsy way with a large bag of stale bread. They slowly made their way down the street and at the corner they split up Cody was going to the store and Ken would feed the ducks.

Ken walked down the stone path slowly enjoying the afternoon sun; he ran his hands through his, trying to fan it out and dry it in the sun. Off in the distance he heard two voices that sounded familiar arguing over whose turn it was to pay for "Saturday Kebabs" Ken didn't even spare them a glance as he knelt down and opened the bread bag.

As if ducks were mind reader they all swam towards Ken in anticipation as he produced the first piece of bread and crumbled it in his hands. On a near by bench he could hear the conversation on a couple that seemed to be catching up, it shocked him to hear 'digimon' dropped a couple times but than again every child was now digidestined. Suddenly the first couple Ken had heard and the second were talking together and boy did their voices sound familiar.

Ken was about to look at them when Cody placed a hand on his shoulder, Ken looked up at him. But Cody paid no mind and starred at the two couples. Ken stood up and averted his eyes towards the couples it was TK, Kari, Davis, and Yolei. After a hesitant sec Ken and Cody started walking towards the "new" digidestined, the old gang.

Boy the times have changed and shifted back.
