You guys are AWESOME!
Endoh Chiaki: Sorry the update wasn't soon, this chapter took a little time to write! And it's okay that you "Haven't been reviewing", as long as you're reading and enjoying the story that's enough for me! Hope you love this chapter and keep reading!
Roadie-chan: Don't worry, he will live….maybe! Actually, he will for sure or else you all will hurt me! Hopefully you will like Davis in this chapter, he is a little more "Davish" and finally shows his emotions. You might not like Izzy so much, but the little guy didn't know what he was doing (you'll see what I mean in the chapter!). In this chapter Davis will feel the impact of that famous quote he said to Ken in the series, "You have the Power to Change!", hopefully Davis' change is a good one. Enjoy the chapter and keep reading!
Rhidaka: Well, I'm continuing! Hope you like this chapter and keep reading!
feral-halliwell: Thanks for the compliments! I will definitely keep it up, hopefully this chapter will prove to be better than the last. I loved the bit of yelling at Davis, let me blow off some stem…alas, it doesn't matter now because my "Davis" only cares about himself and no one else, thank goddess Davis sees past that in this chapter, hope you enjoy it and keep reading.
Ryuko: Thank you! It took me quite a while to write it so I'm glad it turned out good, I was a little worried that it might've been too confusing. I'm glad you enjoyed it, sorry that I was gone so long on my trip, but it did help me get over my situation so now I'm not in pain over this any more. Hope you love this chapter, and you can read it in the dark if you want!
Ficmaster: Yep, a story isn't a story without gore! I'm glad you liked that chapter, you'll get a bright sunny day in the last chapter for sure. The last chapter is the after the next one, alas, it will be over shortly! I think I'll cry when it's done, partly for the fact I don't get to write anymore and partly that I'll finally be able to put it in my past. Hope you like this update and read till the end….which is approaching fast!
FF Fanatic: I'm happy you thought it was dramatic! And I'm glad it lived up to the other chapters, I hope "A Thousand Words" lives up to your expectations. Don't worry, Ken won't die, if he did I think you'll all kill me! Anyway, here's the update, please read till the end!
Airkid: Well, I'm not to entirely sure what a GASP girl is in his opinion, I don't really care anymore, I'm over him finally; it took me two weeks in France to do so! Thank you for loving my story, it makes me feel special that people can't wait for the next chapter. I hope you like your flashback, I hope it has enough of DemiVee-Mon and Leafmon for you! I wish my "Davis" was more understanding like you and all the other reviewers, I would show him it, but he'd probably just ignore it like he did me. Oh well, I just hope there's no one else out there like him. Hope you love the chapter and your flashback, keep reading till the end!
Rea: Well, Davis is being a jerk so it's quite explainable that he would ignore others feelings…just like my "Davis", but now my "Kari" and "Willis" decided to ignore him, so I hope he realizes how bad I felt and that I do actually have feelings. Hope you love this update and keep reading!
Kinoko: Thanks for saying my story was great! I hope this chapter meets your expectations! Here's the next update, please read it till the end!
Takuya: There's just a couple of sad parts left, and then there's a fluffy happy part at the end, so please read it till there! I hope you like this chapter, it's not as sad and Davis is finally realizing what he's done. Hopefully it's not too sad.
Amberblood: Ahhh Ken! Don't you just want to hug him? Glad you loved it, I promise everything will turn out alright (unlike Chapter 7!) so please read it till the end!
Wyntermajik: First off…thank you so much for such a great review! I probably wouldn't have continued this fic but so many people fell in love with it that I couldn't stop…it's thanks to reviewers like you that keep stories going! I'm glad that each chapter gets better and better for you guys, it would make me devastated to find out that a new chapter didn't live up to expectations! Also, it's makes me over joyed that people see Ken's emotions and how he feels, that's the point I was aiming for the most in this story. And you hit Davis right on the dot, sure he was a jerk, but he's changing, you'll probably love this chapter! I hope the last chapters keep the story amazing for you and are not disappointing in the least bit! I hope you love this chapter!
Rochelle: Dun dun dunnnnn! You make me feel so special I could just cry tears of joy! My fic is actually popular for once! And it seems no one is disappointed with it, I hope it stays that way. Well, I finish this for you loyal readers or die trying! Hope you love the new update Rochelle and read it till the end!
Disclaimer: Sorry I forgot it in the last chapter! Anyway…..I do not own Digimon, Onizuka, or the song "A Thousand Words/ 1000 No Kotoba", they own me….especially Onizuka!
Walking in the Dark
Chapter 9: A Thousand Words
Davis pinned Ken to the wall and stared into the deep pools of violet, "Ken….I"
"I know Davis," Ken stared at the floor darkly, "You never want to see me again right?"
Davis grabbed Ken's wrist and looked at it, "You did this….because of me?"
"Yes…I did. Unfortunately I did it wrong."
Davis looked down at Ken, "Oh Ken, don't say that."
"If I did it right, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be here to ruin your life anymore."
Davis gripped both of Ken's wrists roughly, the indigo haired teen gave a small cry of pain as Davis glared at him, "Don't you ever say that again! You could never ruin my life Ken, never!"
Ken felt the hot tears run down his face and hung his head, "Then why did you pretend I didn't exist? Why did you make me walk in the dark all alone?"
Davis' face soften and he pulled Ken into a tight embrace. He buried his face it Ken's jagged hair and softly said, "I…."
Davis looked out the window at the rain. The power flickered on and off while the auburn haired teen reminisced the time when he and Ken played soccer in the rain. He lightly laughed when he recalled Ken's mother fussing over him and Ken nearly died of embarrassment. Davis bit his lip and stared at the phone; his heart was burning, telling him over and over what a grave mistake he made. He kept waiting for T.K. or Kari to call, waiting for one of them to tell him everything was going to be alright.
June watched him from the doorway and bit her lip; Davis wasn't her favorite person in the world but she hated to see him like this. Here was her little brother, sitting by the phone waiting for someone to make or break his life. In a way, she wished she had never come home from college for the weekend, if she stayed she wouldn't have to watch this pathetic boy wait for a pathetic phone call. She sighed and walked into the kitchen not knowing what she could possibly do to help.
Davis jumped in surprise when he heard the doorbell and frantic knocking instead of the telephone. It was about thirty minutes since T.K. called him and Davis nearly destroyed the house tumbling to the door. June managed to reach it before he did and let a drenched pissed of Takeru in. T.K. stalked over to Davis and thrust the letter in his face, "Read this and then come with me, no arguing!"
Davis snatched the paper and unfolded it. His face steadily fell as he read more and more:
Davis,
I was so happy that you were smiling
With a smile that would melt everything
Spring was still a distance away under the cold ground
It was waiting for a moment to bud
Even if I have a painful today
Even if there is a wound from yesterday
I want to believe that I can open my heart
But I can change myself
Let's stay together always
I want things to be simple
Let's finally get across this sea of mournful sorrow
For instance, even if today is painful
Someday it will become a warm memory
If you leave everything up to your heart
I understand the meaning of our living here
It is to know the joy of having been born
Let's stay together always
I just want you to know, I'll always be here for you...even if you don't want me to be. I don't know what I did to make you so angry at me, but I bet you have a good reason. I don't know if you're reading this, I hope you are and didn't "blot" out this letter. Before you decide that I'm forever dead to you, I just want you to think back and remember all of the good times we've had. I remember you changed my life, after I was the Digimon Emperor I felt lost….I was so depressed and you made me feel like there was a reason for me to keep going. You are my best friend...that's why this hurts so much for me. I've been asking people, what should I do? Everyone tells me to "let it go" and ignore you, they say that you're not the kind of friend I thought you were...but Davis, they were wrong, I want them to be wrong...you're my best friend and I know something is bothering you, you can just tell me, let me fix this...I can't loose you Davis, I just can't. Maybe you don't consider me your friend...but I want you to know that I am here for you, I am here for you always. No matter what you do to me, no matter how much you drag my feelings and my heart through the mud, I'm here for you Davis.
I am sorry, I am so sorry for whatever I did...I'm sorry. I just want things to be the way they were; us sitting at lunch watching Willis groan in pain from eating too many gummy worms, us walking to school together, us listening to music on your head phones every day, us playing soccer together every Friday. The first time I spent the night at your house, making T.K. a birthday cake, T.K.'s surprise birthday party, playing with DemiVee-mon and Leafmon at the beach. I don't know about you, but I can't give that up. Remember when you first held out your hand to me? I was so scared of being rejected but you showed me what Friendship really meant. Remember all those times we played video games at my house? Remember that time when we played soccer in the rain? Do you remember any of this?
I don't want it to end like this, please just stop it...one way or the other. Please tell me what's wrong, you can always talk to me...I'm here for you.
I'll always be here for you.
Ken
Davis looked up and T.K. who was glaring at him, "He….after all I did he….he still was willing to…..I…"
T.K. gripped the front of Davis' shirt and pulled him to his feet, "Save it for Ken, we're going now."
"It's 10 o'clock at night!"
"I don't care, he's in critical condition right now, he'll probably die tonight! So you're going to see him while he still have a chance!"
Davis yanked his coat on and laced his shoes, "So if the glass shard hit his heart….what did it hit?"
"His lung," T.K. grabbed Davis' car keys, "Joe had to remove half of it."
"Joe's his doctor!"
"Yes, when Joe heard he came right away," T.K. threw the keys at him, "You're driving that spiffy new car of yours so we don't half to walk in the rain."
"Where's your car?"
"In the shop, brakes are broken now let's go!"
June sighed, "I'll tell the parental units where you are, so get going Simba."
"Thanks June!" Davis shouted while running out the door, "And don't call me that!"
June leaned against the door, she smiled and muttered, "You'll always be my little Simba, always looking for danger.."
"I'm really sorry to bother you Mr. Ichijouji," Onizuka dragged a hand through his hair, "but you and your wife really need to come home now."
"Why, what happened?"
Onizuka stuck an unlit cigarette in his mouth, "Ken….he…I was out getting dinner and he…..tried to…kill himself……"
"WHAT!"
"You know how he went to Daisuke's? Well…he was treated worse and came home crying. I just went to get some Spicy Chicken Ramen 'cause he said it would make him feel better….and when I came back he…"
"It's all right….it's not your fault, we'll be back as soon as we can."
"Thank you…goodbye."
Onizuka hung up the phone and lit the cigarette, he drug another hand through his bleached hair and took a deep drag. He looked warily at the window were Ken was and wished that he could go back in time and fix the problem at the start, that none of this ever happened. And most of all, he wished that Davis would've just told Ken what was wrong.
Davis started the car up and put it in gear, keeping his eyes on the road he asked, "So where the hell was Onizuka? Wasn't he suppose to watch Ken this weekend?"
T.K. pinched the bridge of his nose, "One of his friends was suspected of murder, so he went down there as an alibi and picked up some dinner, when he came back Ken was lying on the floor bleeding."
Davis slammed down on the gas, "Why the hell did he leave Ken alone like that? He should've stayed with him!"
"Ken said he would be fine, he wanted to be alone. Onizuka didn't know he would tried to commit suicide!"
Davis glared at the road, "Central Hospital right?"
T.K. nodded, the rest of the twenty minute drive was in a very uncomfortable silence. T.K. could feel a passionate anger and hatred coming from Davis, the mahogany haired teen seemed so much older than he was half an hour ago. A determined look was set in Davis' burning eyes that worried T.K. slightly. It was as if the only emotion Davis knew was hatred, pure hatred for Onizuka. T.K. thought it was a bit hypocritical seemingly as the two acted almost exactly alike. But as T.K. looked further at Davis he noticed worry and love, he saw that more than anything Davis wanted to take Ken into his arms and hold him, to tell him how much he loved him. The car screeched into a halt in front of the hospital; Goggle Boy II jumped out, tripped, and ran into the brightly lit building, determined to find the light in his darkness.
Onizuka leaned his head on the window and winced as he watched Joe carefully stitch up Ken's wrists; taking the glass out of his chest was a whole lot worse, Onizuka was amazed Ken was still alive. Then watching them remove half of his lung was heart wrenching for the teacher, Ken could live on one and half lungs but it would be painful for a while. He watched Joe cast a worried glace and pull off his gloves, Onizuka lit another cigarette and sat next to Cody who arrived with Joe. Cody looked at Onizuka, "Is Ken going to be alright?"
Onizuka took a long drag, "If he lives tonight, he'll be fine. If he doesn't then….he'll die."
Cody nodded and bit his lip to keep from crying, "Why would Ken do something like this?"
The bleached teacher sat back and took another long drag of his cigarette, "People do crazy things….when they're in love."
The was some crashing down the hallway and shouting, Onizuka sighed and finished off his cigarette, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a half empty pack, Cody gave him a weird look, "You know those things will kill you."
"I figured I'd rather die young and happy than old and depressed."
"Oh."
Davis ran around the corner, "Where's Ken!"
Cody pointed at the window, Davis ran over there and pressed his hands to the glass. He saw Ken lying in a large white bed with a ton of wires connected to him, his violet hair clashed against the white pillow and Davis could see Ken had cut it; he felt a pang of guilt.
"I'll always be here. Trust me……but just promise me one thing……"
"What?"
"Cut you hair or do something with it!"
The guilt only lasted a second for it was consumed by a burning hatred Davis couldn't avoid. He slowly turned around and glared at his substitute teacher, "You."
Onizuka halted in grabbing another cancer stick, "Me what?"
"You, it's your fault!" Davis harshly yelled as he jumped at Onizuka with the means to chock him.
T.K. ran up behind Davis and grabbed his arms, "Stop it Davis!"
The blond struggled to hold Davis back, the brunette was going crazy and aimed to severely hurt Onizuka, "It's your fault! It's all your fault! Why weren't you there! Some teacher you are, he might die because of you!"
Onizuka nervously lit a cigarette and stared at Davis, "Actually kid, you're the reason he did this. The only one to blame is you so don't point your finger at me, the only thing I did was offer the boy a helping hand. What did you do? You pushed him away and drove him to a deep depression he couldn't escape from."
Davis shook his head frantically, Cody joined T.K. in holding him back. Hot tears ran down Davis' cheeks, "I didn't know he would resort to that, I didn't know he felt that bad."
Onizuka took a deep drag, "so….what are you going to do about it?"
"I don't know."
The teacher cocked a black eyebrow, "You don't know? Ken just tried to kill himself because of you and you don't know what you're going to do?"
Davis hung his head and sobbed, "I can't tell him, I can't….he'll hate me."
Onizuka chucked the cigarette at him, "Ken would never hate you Davis, he loves you for a crying out loud! That's why he tried to kill himself!"
Joe stepped out, "Sorry if I'm interrupting anything but I think he'll live."
Everyone seemed slightly relieved, Joe straightened his glasses, "Normally I wouldn't do this, but I think if Ken's going to make it he'll need some support…..if one of you wouldn't mind sitting with him through the rest of the night it would be a great help."
Davis shook off T.K. and Cody, "I'll do it."
Joe shot him a look, "And you won't do anything to harm him?"
"No, I wouldn't dream of it."
Joe nodded, "All right Davis, let's just hope he wakes up tomorrow."
Davis sat down next to Ken's bed and took a good look at the Child of Kindness. His hair was cut in the same jagged way as the Digimon Emperor, it was somewhat morbid in a way; like an angel covered in blood. Davis held back his tears and held Ken's hand, it was cold and thin--thinner than the last time Davis held his hand; the boy had gone from thin to skinny and developed and sort of fragile look to him even though Davis knew he was hard to break. A oxygen mask covered his mouth and nose and Davis wish it were off so he could see Ken's full face. The genius looked so peaceful lying there, Davis rubbed Ken's hands between both of his to warm it up and sighed.
The Child of Courage and Friendship let his tears fall as he let his voice sing out in a hushed tone, "I know that you're hiding things, using gentle words to shelter me…Your words were like a dream, but dreams could never fool me, not that easily."
He lightly stroked Ken's cheek and smiled, "I acted so distant then, didn't say goodbye before you left, but I was listening…You'll fight your battles far from me…far too easily."
Davis clasped Ken's hand and allowed his voice to gain strength, strength he need to give to Ken, "'Save your tears cause I'll come back', I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door, but still I swore, to hide the pain when I turn back the pages….shouting might've been the answer, what if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart….but now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart!"
The mahogany haired teen stood up and looked at Ken with love in his heart, "Though a thousand words, have never been spoken, they'll fly to you, crossing over the time and distance holding you, suspended on silver wings! And a thousand words, One thousand confessions, will cradle you, making all of the pain you feel seem far away…they'll hold you forever!"
Tears rolled down Davis' face, "I love you so much….the dream isn't over yet, though I often say I can't forget….I still relive that day, 'You've been here with me all the way' I still hear you say, 'Wait for me I'll write you letters', I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor, but still I swore, to hide the doubt, when I turned back the pages, Anger might've been the answer, what if I hung my head and said that I couldn't wait, but now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late!"
He sat back down and grasped Ken's hand, "Cause a thousand words, call out through the ages, they'll fly to you, even though we can't see I know they're reaching you, suspended on silver wing! Oh a thousand, one thousand embraces, will cradle you, making all of your weary days seem far away, they'll hold you forever!"
Davis cried into Ken's hair, "Oh a thousand words, have never been spoken, they'll fly to you, they'll carry you home and back into my arms, suspended on silver wings ohm! And a thousand words, call out through the ages, they'll cradle you, turning all of the lonely years to only days, they'll hold you forever."
Davis hugged Ken as much as he could through the wires, his voice cracked slightly as he whispered, "I could never tell you how much I love you in just a thousand words Ken. I could never tell you how sorry I am….I just hope, someday you'll forgive me. I was a coward, I couldn't tell you the three simple words I been meaning to say since I met you. I wish you could hear me….Ken, I love you….so much. I will never let go you again."
"Thank you Davis, I'll take it from here, you need to get some sleep."
"There's no way in hell I'm leaving you alone with Ken!"
Onizuka sighed, "Look kid, you need sleep! He'll wake up and you'll go to sleep! Just get some shut eye, he'll be fine now."
Davis finally nodded and left the room, Onizuka sat in the chair and looked at Ken, "please wake up….please Ken, you can't die like she did, I couldn't live with myself if I let you die…look, your parents are on they're way Ken, they should be here at 10 o'clock, that's just four hours….please wake up Ken…people love you, people need you.."
Sam looked down at Ken and smirked, "Well, well, well….if it isn't my dear little brother Ken!"
"Sam? Is that really you? You're so…grown up."
"Yes, it's me Ken. I chose to grown up here, in limbo land."
Ken looked at his brother confused, "Why are you in limbo?"
"Because, basically…..I didn't want to let go of my life so I became a ghost."
"Why?"
Sam sighed and cleaned his glasses, "I know I may seem cruel sometimes Ken but…I….watch over you as best I can, through someone else I know to be an excellent teacher……. I wasn't much of a brother when I was alive, I'm sorry. But that voice that mocked you earlier, that wasn't me, it was someone else. I'd never say those things to you Ken, I learned my lesson when I was hit by the car."
Ken looked down, "It's my fault….I wished you were dead….and then it happened."
"It's my fault for making you think that, look Ken…" Sam put his glasses back on and wrapped an arm around Ken's shoulder, "Ken….why did you try to kill yourself?"
"I…Davis acted like I was a ghost. After all this time we spent together and then he randomly ignores me. I tried so hard to get him to notice, I doubt he evens cares about me now, he's probably happy I'm dying."
Sam pushed Ken in front of him and slapped him, "How can you say that? Look Ken, a lot of people care about you, including Davis. You can't leave Mom and Dad either Ken, you're the only kid they have left! Ken, please, wake up."
"I don't want to, I can't live without Davis…."
"And he can't live without you, so please wake up!"
Ken's world went black. Pain shot through his body and it hurt like hell to breath, even with an oxygen mask….wait, oxygen mask! Ken felt a warm hand on his and faintly smelled cigarette smoke, it must've been Onizuka (seemingly as he went through two packs in the past five hours). He heard a ringing at first and then he heard Onizuka's gruff voice that sounded like it had been talking non stop for the past five hours.
"Wake up….please Ken….wake up. We need you, wake up.."
Ken tried to open his eyes but he couldn't; he started to get scared, he wanted to see. He heard footsteps and Joe's pained voice saying, "Onizuka, there's been a problem."
"What is it?"
"It's Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji."
"Yeah, they should've been here an hour ago, where are they?"
"The train they were on….it blew up, no survivors."
(Izzy stared at his computer screen in horror, "WHA? Why did the train blow up? OH yeah…..that bomb I put it! I'm such a klutz, oh well, it's not like anyone on that train was important anyway.")
"So….his parents are dead?"
"Yes."
Ken's mind screamed and the pain worsened but he still couldn't open his eyes. He wished with all his heart it was just a bad dream.
Onizuka gripped Ken's hand tighter, "What will happen to Ken?"
Joe sighed, "He's an orphan now, there's no family that we know of to take him in either."
"I'll take him in."
"Alright, I wouldn't dare argue with the Great Teacher Onizuka."
"Good."
Ken felt tears roll down his cheeks and he heard Joe and Onizuka gasp. Joe ran over to Ken's side, "Ken, Ken are you awake? Open your eyes!"
Onizuka shook his head, "I don't think he can….or else he would've by now."
Joe pulled out a sedative and injected it, "Sleep peacefully Ken, sleep and heal."
Ken's world went black again.
Airkid's Flashback!
Leafmon rolled around in the sand and squealed, "Yeah Ken! This is fun!"
The indigo haired teen smiled. Things were going great! He finally had a friend and they were successfully saving the Digital World, having a nice afternoon on the beach was just what they all needed. Leafmon dug himself into the sand and laughed in delight. Ken grinned and picked up his In-Training Digimon, "Leafmon! Don't you want to play in the water?"
"The water's cold!" the bouncing, green Digimon replied, "the sand is nice and warm!"
Davis ran over and grabbed Ken from behind then proceeded to tickle him; Leafmon jumped to the ground and resumed playing in the sand while the Child of Kindness was laughing so hard he was crying, "Davis! Stop!"
Davis grinned and was about to say something until T.K. tackled him into a hole and shouted, "Okay Cody! Quick, let's bury him!"
The rest of the Digimon and Digi-destine teamed up and buried Davis; DemiVee-mon made himself comfortable on top of Davis and began eating a sandwich when his partner become a mountain of sand. Davis struggled but couldn't break free for about two hours until Ken felt sorry for him and dug him out. DemiVee-mon bounced up and down on the newly freed Davis, "Let's get ice cream, let's get ice cream!"
T.K. laughed his annoying laugh, "Man Davis! You and your Digimon aren't much different!"
"Shut up T.P.! And plus, ice cream does sound good anyway!"
"Yeah!" DemiVee-mon squealed, "Ice cream! Let's get chocolate!"
Davis got two chocolate ice cream cones for him and his Digimon, Demi-Veemon plunged his face in the tasty desert and covered himself in chocolate. Davis at his slowly, savoring the taste. T.K. sighed and left with Kari to see a movie while Cody went with Yolei to fix his computer again. Ken sat next to his friend and smiled, the day couldn't get any better.
The sun started to go down half an hour later and glinted off of the ocean, the water sparkled like sapphires and it seemed almost surreal, DemiVee-mon bounced on Davis' lap, "Awhhh look Dabis! Look how blue ith is!"
"Yeah Ken! It's so pretty!" Leafmon joined his friend in his quest to bounce on Davis. Goggle Boy II just laugh, "Hey guys! Stop that, it tickles!"
Ken picked Leafmon up and cuddled his Digimon, "The ocean is awfully beautiful, isn't it Davis?"
"Yeah…." Davis stared at the water and then muttered, "I know someone prettier than the ocean, someone that could take my breath away with one look…"
Ken stared at the ground, Davis was probably thinking about Kari again! He sighed, "And who would that be?"
"Forget about it, let's go rent a movie kay? You can stay at my house tonight too! We'll have a great time!"
DemiVee-mon giggled, "Yay! Sleep over!"
Ken nodded and they walked down the beach together; both unable to tell the other how he felt.
Later that night, the two boys had to deal with the two Digimon sleep talking. Both loudly mumbled something along the likes of: "I love you ice cream…"
Davis sat by the window watching the rain fall, he pressed his hands against the glass and curled his fingers in rage. He let Ken do that to himself, he let Ken go. Davis' eyes narrowed as he glared at the rain, when Ken came back to school Davis would tell him up to his face the truth, those three simple words. He would take Ken in his arms and show how much he loved the other boy, maybe, just maybe, Ken would forgive him and hold him back. Maybe they could be more than friends.
Davis leaned his forehead against the window and stared outside with bright eyes, he finally wasn't afraid to say what was in his heart, even if it took a thousand words or a thousand years, he would tell Ken how he felt. He stood up and pulled on his coat; the mahogany haired boy walked out into the rain and stared at the sky, "Ken, please wake up soon, I've got to talk to you."
Next Chapter: "No More Lies."
