Ken ran as fast as he could. His heart was thumping heavily in his chest. He'd been seen. The policeman had recognized him.

It had been a total of three days after he had left Mae and Alfred's house and he'd been on the run ever since.

His body was aching for food and rest, but the police officer was hot on his heels.

"Stop! Please stop son! I won't hurt you!" cried the man chasing him. Ken shook his head, his jacket in his arms. A small bag was on his back that he police man was trying to catch on to. Days of malnutrition and little rest made slower in running than usual.

Running with all his might, Ken glanced behind him and tripped when he stopped looking in front of him.

"Oof!" groaned Ken when he crashed into the concrete ground. The police man took his chance and grabbed onto Ken by the arm and held him up.

Ken shivered. "Are you alright son?" asked the man. ken looked up and over at the man's badge and saw that his name was Yosick.

Ken was silent as he caught his breath.

"I know who you are" continued Yosick. And your parents are very worried about you."

Ken could now see why the man had been able to catch up with him. Yosick was very string, tall, and thin. He had black hair and brown eyes.

"i-I can't go back" Ken choked, keeping back his tears. Yosick cocked his head to one side, confused.

"Why not?" he asked.

Ken shook his head and shrugged. "I just can't."

"Do they beat you?" asked Yosick worriedly. He wanted to know why this kid didn't want to go back home.

"No!" ken cried, slightly outraged at the thought. Yosick nodded.

"Okay, okay, calm down. I meant no offense."

Ken couldn't keep it in anymore, the tears just started spilling out.

The last few nights had been horrible. Cold, wet, dank nights with hardly any sleep, not to mention no food. He had already eaten the little bread he took from Mae's Bakery. Ken looked Yosick in the eyes.

"Take me home" choked Ken. Yosick smiled.

"Where do you live son? I'll take you home right away. I may know you're famous, but I still have no clue where you live, the chief didn't give that information for some reason."

"I live in Odaiba..."

Davis gave a great yawn as he stretched out on the chair he was currently sitting on in his room. Demi-Veemon poked his eyes out from underneath the covers of Davis' bed, his large curious red eyes perring at him.

"Davis? What's the matter?" asked the little blue creature.

Davis sighed. "Nothing, it's just that Ken Hunting is just so hard and exhausting. It really takes a lot out of you."

Demi-Veemon snorted at him, crossing his chubby little arms over his small chest.

"Hmp! Aimlessly walking around town isn't going to help you find Ken, Davis."

Davis shot his partner a glare when his sister burst into the bedroom.

"Davis! Cone quick! You're friend is on the news!" she cried. Davis was up in an instant, pushing Jun out of his way and running in front of the television. Davis listened to what the news lady had to say.

"Well, our top story is that our young child prodigy has been found. He was spotted in Southern Belden, where Police officer Alec Yosick chased after him and caught him. The boy refused to be taken home at first, but then burst into tears several minutes later, begging to be taken home. Officials have not said where the boy is now exactly, but they did say that he is custody of Police Officer Yosick is to be taken home immediately. For more details, go to-"

Davis didn't hear anything. He heard what he had wanted to hear for over two weeks. Ken was coming home.

Not being able to wait to see his secret crush, Davis decided that he would go over to the Ichijouji residence and wait for him. But when he got there, Ken was still not at home.

Mrs. Ichijouji offered Davis a cookie for the millionth time he's been there. Davis could tell Ken's parents were just as thrilled and anxious about Ken coming home as he was. He had been there for over an hour and a half and still no word from anyone about Ken arriving. Mr. Ichijouji was currently flipping through the channels on the television, the tension waiting for Ken was to unbearable for him.

He stopped at a news channel. His eyes wide.

"He's home everyone! Officer Yosick just dropped Ken off in Odaiba!" cried the news lady happily, she then turned to other news.

"Rika! They say Ken's in Odaiba! They just dropped him off!"

Mrs. Ichijouji looked to Davis, only to find that he was gone.

Ken nervously snuck into Davis' house and into his bedroom, He thanked his lucky stars that no one followed him in. No news reporters, who were thankfully keeping their distance.

Exhausted, ken couldn't help but fall onto the bed, enjoying the comforting pillows.

"Davis?" spoke a small voice in the covers fo the bed. Ken looked up to see two large red eyes stare back at him.

"You're not Davis" spoke Demi-Veemon stupidly. "Y-You're Ken!"

Ken, not thinking properly, pulled Davis' bed covers over top of him, hoping he could hide from the little blue monster.

"Oh! You wanna play hide-and-go-seek?" asked Demi-Veemon cheerfully. "Davis never plays that game with me anymore. Not since...You left."

Ken either didn't hear him, or plain out ignored him, for he didn't respond.

"Okay...I'll count to ten and then I'll try to find you!" Demi-Veemon said, covering his eyes. He began to count. "One...Two...Eight...Six..."

Ken came out of his little cocoon of covers and grabbed the little mon's arms, making Demi-Veemon uncover his eyes. Demi-Veemon looked at Ken, who was trying his best to be as gentle as possible.

"I don't want to play Hide and go seek right now...okay?" ken spoke with a smile. Demi-Veemon nodded with a large grin on his face!

"Okay! We can play Go-Fish if you want then!" squeaked Demi-Veemon. He then started off to find some cards when Ken grabbed him by his little waist.

"H-Hey! That tickles!" cried Demi-Veemon. Ken smiled.

"It does, does it?" smiled Ken, holding Demi-Veemon close to him.

Demi-Veemon laughed in response. "Is this how you treated Wormmon, cause if it is, he was a really lucky digimon!"

Ken was taken aback at these words. He dropped Demi-Veemon onto the bed, who fell to the bed in giggles.

"ken?" asked Demi-Veemon when he stopped laughing.

Ken didn't seem to here the little digimon, for he just kept staring into space. Demi-Veemon nodded almost understandingly and hopped into Ken's lap, who looked down at him curiously. Demi-Veemon looked up at ken and said, "I know you may have done some really nasty things in the past Ken, but we digimon know how to forgive people who try to fix their mistakes, and I know that's what you're trying to do. You're not a bad person ken, if you were, I don't think you would be sitting here tickling me."

Ken nodded. He had to admit, Demi-Veemon was right.

Suddenly the door burst open and the two of them looked over to Davis standing in the doorway, panting for breath.

"Ken..."

"Hello Davis. I was just..."

Davis didn't let Ken finish. A rush of new feelings poured over him and he dove for Ken, grabbing him by the chin and giving a long awaited kiss.

Ken's eyes flew wide open in shock. This was NOT something he had been expecting!
