It's fact. Some people have rough times adjusting to new environments. This was no exception for Ken. Shortly after he got settled in at Davis' house, he slowly began to realize just what it was he'd done.
Ken shivered with realization, tears forming in his eyes. He crouched down on his new bed and hid his head in his knees, covering his head with his arms.
Davis tried to get him out of it, but nothing would work. Ken was deeply depressed.
Sitting down next to him, Davis wrapped an arm around Ken's crouched form, hugging the human ball known as Ken.
"Please Ken, calm down, everything will be okay" he whispered into Ken's ear. Ken only continued to shiver.
Leafmon, who was still on the pillow, hopped himself over to Davis, who looked at him expectantly.
"Don't worry Davis. He does this. Ken does this when things get too complicated or stressful. He's always done it, even as the Kaiser. I really wouldn't worry. When he feels it safe he'll uncurl himself" spoke Leafmon wisely in his cute little baby voice. davis smiled, and rubbed Leafmon's head affectionately.
"I guess your right" sighed Davis. Suddenly, he felt Ken moving, and looked to see Ken uncurling himself, and lying down, resting his head on Davis' lap.
"See I told you!" cried Leafmon.
Davis let the indigo haired boy get into a compfortable lying position before he started running a hand through his hair. Ken seemed as though he was half asleep, however, when he started talking to Davis, he sounded wide awake, yet scared.
"Thank you Davis, for being here for me...It's just so hard...First I lost Sam...now my parents" he whispered.
"Ken you haven't lost your parents" argued Davis.
Ken frowned, his eyes still closed. "Davis, do you really think we've heard the last of my father? You didn't hear the worst of it. When he was beating me, he vowed that he would disown me. My cowardly mother won't do anything about it, and I'm sure he'll make her disown me too, making me an oprhan..." Davis gapsed at the very thought.
"But Ken..." spoke Davis weakly.
"Please, it'll only be a matter of time before I'm an official oprhan. My father hates anything out of the ordinary with a true passion. Why do you think I never told them about the Digital World or Leafmon? I knew he wouldn't take it well. And now that...we've told him about us..." Tears formed in Ken's eyes. "I have lost them. Absolutley nothing can go well for me..."
The two of them were silent for several moments.
"Maybe..." began Davis. "We could adopt you..."
Ken opened his eyes and turned up to face Davis, his brow furrowed.
"Well, what I'm saying is, once your parents officially disown you, and you do become an orphan, if they do, we could adopt you, I'm sure my mom and dad wouldn't mind. They love kids to death."
Ken shook his head. "But what about...you know...us...I would be considered your brother, and - You can't- with your brother-" stuttered Ken.
Davis shook his head. "But we're not blod related. Heck, we're not even close to being related. You would just have our name and everything, that wouldn't change anything though."
"I'd have your name? You mean like, Ken Motomiya?" asked ken, confused.
Davis laughed. "Hey, that's sounds pretty cool! But not nessescarily, you could keep your name, I would think. You know, keep Ichijouji."
Ken nodded, liking the idea more and more.
"So what do'ya think?" asked Davis, almost too excitedly for Ken's taste. Ken sighed.
"I don't know...I'll have to think about this first, okay?" Davis nodded as Ken rested his head back on his lap and closed his eyes, letting Davis run his hand through his hair again. Silence ensued, only this time, it was a compforting silence, in which the two boys greeted happily. They enjoyed their closeness, especially Davis.
"Davis I'm sorry" spoke Ken suddenly.
Davis looked down at his boyfriend with wide eyes. "Huh?"
"I'm sorry for not giving you a chance before. I was so mean to you. I was using Yolei to try and make you jealous. Make you angry that I didn't like you back. You just caught me off gaurd really. But to be honest, the first time you kissed me, it felt sort of right, but at the time, I didn't want to believe it, but I knew deep down that we were meant to be. This sounds weird coming from me, but it's true. I was raised to do everything normally. My father, hating things out of the ordinary, always taught me not to trust things that are different. Such as this. Perhaps that's another reason why I terrorized the Digital World. Cause I really hated it."
"Do you hate me Ken? I'm a digimon" asked Leafmon, worried as he hopped next to Ken and into his arms. Ken shifted himself on the floor, and smiled.
"No, I could never hate you" he replied.
"But I'm not normal, I'm a digimon" argued Leafmon. Ken squeezed him gently.
"It's hard to explain Leafmon" was all Ken knew to say.
"It's alright Ken, you were scared" replied Davis at last.
Ken smiled. "I'm glad you understand Davis."
There was a sudden knock on the door, causing the two boys to jump up into a sitting position immediatly. Jun was at the door, her face full of glee for walking in on the boys in a tender moment. Davis scowled at her.
"What is it you want Jun?" Davis demanded as he watched Ken scurry away and fiddle with his pile of clothes in embarrassment. He could tell that it was going to be a while until Ken got used to the thought of them being a couple and liking people to see them together.
"Hey dufus! You're friend TK's on the phone" she hollered from the door frame. Davis stood and walked over to her. "And just so you know Davis, " she added more quietly with a sneaky grin o her face. "You're only supposed to have one boyfriend at a time."
Davis flushed a furious red. "Shut it Jun! TK and I are not seeing each other! Now give me that!" Davis snatched the phone from Jun's hand and slammed the door on her. Putting his ear to the phone Davis started talking. "Hey TS, what ch'ya need?"
TK spoke on the other side of the line. "That's TK. And nothing really, but Yolei and I were talking and we thought it would be nice if we all went to the park to play some soccer or something."
Davis grinned. He loved anything that involved soccer. He looked over at Ken, who was folding some clothes and sticking them into his new drawer beside his bed. He looked at Davis at the corner of his eye every now and then, wanting to know what was going on.
"Sure! I'll invite Ken too!" answered Davis. Ken looked up from his clothes and stood, an uncertain look on his face. Davis frowned. ken looked as though he was seeing the most terrifying thing imangined. TK was still talking on the phone, but Davis wasn't listening. Ken was looking at something behind him, making him frightened. Turning slowly, Davis cried out in shock when a heavy hand fell down on his shoulder, making Davis bend his knees from the weight of the hand.
Turning around completely, he looked up to see Mr. Ichijouji standing there, a sneer playing on his face.
"I'll have to call you back" Davis muttered into the phone, ignoring TK's reply and flipping off the phone.
"Papa" Ken whispered from the other side of the room.
"Took me a while to track you two down, but I managed it" Tsuko began. "I have come for only one thing, and that is to speak to my once proud son."
"What, so you can beat him half to death like before?" hissed Davis, blocking Tsuko from walking into the door.
At that moment, Jun walked by. "Hey dufus! Mom, dad and I are going shopping. Oh, is this Ken's dad? Cool. See you later dunderhead!" With that said, Davis could hear Jun and his parents shut the door.
'Crap. Now we're stuck here alone with this madman' groaned Davis inwardly.
Before Davis could so much as breath, Tsuko grabbed Davis by the shoulders and shoved him out the door, slamming the door and locking Davis out of his own room before Davis could retaliate.
Furious, Davis started pounding heavily on the door. "Hey creep! This is called tresspassing you know!"
Davis stopped pounding, knowing it was useless, and put his ear up to the door in order to hear what was going on.
SLAP!
Davis could hear Ken give a yelp of pain Tsuko slapped him. If only there was something he could do!

Ken willed himself not to cry when he watched his beloved Davis be pushed out of the room, leaving his nagry father and him alone. Tsuko turned to ken and grinned when he looked about Ken's belongings and the nice set up Ken had made.
"Well Ken. I must admit I'm impressed with how you've moved in here. But I am very disapointed in you. I really had hoped you would have turned out right. Sam would have" snickered Tsuko.
Ken's eyes went wide in anger. "Don't you dare compare me to Sam! You always do!"
SLAP!
Ken grabbed his right cheek in pain. He glared up at the man he ince called Papa."But it's true!" Ken continued. "I was always, Sam this, and Sam that. Never, 'Goo job Ken'. It was always, 'Sam would have done better!' Why can't you just accept me for who I am?"
"Because you're a freak!" roared Tsuko.
"Why? Because I like Davis? Or because I'm not Sam?"Ken cried. Tsuko went silent. "Why don't you just face it! You NEVER loved me! Neither of you did! You THINK you did, but you didn't! It was only Sam you cared about! Not me! You only started paying attention to me after I started getting smarter, and working harder in school, and acting more like Sam! You wanted Sam back so badly that you became blind, and started thinking I was Sam! Well I'm not, so just get over it! Sam's dead and nothing is EVER going to change that!"
Ken was in tears at this point and Tsuko was stunned into silence. Davis, who was now sitting on the other side of the door, was close to tears himself, wishing things didn't have to be so hard for Ken.
"Get out" whispered Ken coldly. Tsuko looked up at him. Ken was shaking in both fear and anger. "Get out now. Just get out of my life. Both of you. Tell mom I'm sorry. I can't take it anymore. Send the Motomiya's a copy of the papers once you've officially disowned me, so that they can sign the adoption papers."
Tsuko said nothing for several moments, then said, "Fine. Have it your way, you want to live here? Go for it. Let them have you. They'll want to get rid of you after a day or so anyway."
Tsuko then opened up the door, where Davis quickly got up and got out of Tsuko's way. All was silent until they heard Tsuko slam the front door to the apartment.
Davis slowly walked back into his bedroom, only to discover that Ken had slipped onto his bed and had begun crying his heart out. Leafmon and Demi-Veemon sat just above his head, making little cooing noises as they tried to make Ken feel better.
Davis sat himself on the bed next to Ken and slowly began to rub Ken's back, hoping to soothe Ken's pain.
"Well Davis" sobbed Ken. "Looks like you'll get to adopt me after all."
