Davis' Apartment

"DAVIS! Davis please! I didn't know!" Ken was currently crying at Davis' bedroom door. It's been a week since the twins were born, and it looked as though Ken had already lost a lot of weight. As he stood at Davi's door, just as he did 9 months ago, dodging everything the spiked haired boy threw at him, he begged for Davis to forgive him. His hair looked as though it hadn't seen a comb in months, and his eyes had bags under them.

"Shut it Ichijouji!" Davis barked back at him! "Now take your things, and LEAVE!"

Ken had no other choice but to do as he was told.

Three Weeks Later TK's Apartment

Ken genlty held up baby Iniko, looking into the chubby baby's blue eyes.

'TK's blue eyes...' thought Ken. He gently put Iniko on the blanket, which was on the counter. He wrapped the diaper around Iniko's bottom and helped the little baby sit up.

"Gah" dribbled Iniko, drool spilling from his mouth. Ken wiped it off with a nearby tissue.

"You got that right..." Ken mumbled under his breath.

"Ken?" came a feminine voice. Ken turned to see that Kari had walked into the room. She wore a simple pink top and jeans, and her hair was exactly as its always been. Ken couldn't help but smiles at her as she walked in. Over the last three weeks she's been so kind to him, helping him out with the twins. Same with TK. The two of them had kindly let Ken move in with them after Davis kicked him out. To this day Ken hadn't heard a word from Davis, and he really didn't think he ever would again.

"How are you Ken? You don't look like you've slept in weeks" commented Kari. Ken sighed, turning back to Iniko.

"You're right..." he mumbled, stroking Iniko's head gently. "I can't sleep...I'm always so worried something will happen to the twins...And when I'm not worried about that...I'm having nightmares..."

"Still?" asked kari.

"Well don't you have nightmares...about...the Dark ocean anymore? Or anything like that?" asked Ken, wanting to know.

Kari shrugged. "Well sure I do...but not often..."

Ken shook his head. He lifted Iniko into his thin arms and walked him over to the crib, where little Kyoshi sat playing with his rattle. Sighing, Ken sat down.

"I don't know how much more I can take Kari..." he whispered. Kari sat down next him.

"Can't take much more of what?"

Ken looked at her as though she was an idiot. "Don't you see Kari? Look at me!" he pointed to himself. "I haven't slept in weeks! I'm starting to resemble a toothpick! I have two twin sons that I'm so worried about I wanna pull my hair out! Davis won't return my phone calls! And, I'm not even living in my own apartment like I should be!"

Kari shook her head. "Ken, TK and I have told you countless times , we don't care if you stay with us. TK and I love the twins as much as you do...and even if you weren't here, we'd still love them..." Ken looked at her at that last sentence, going silent. Kari cocked her head to one side, unsure of what she said.

"Hmmm..." he sighed.

Three Days Later - TK's Apartment

TK smiled down as he held little Kyoshi. "Say Ken?" asked TK to the blue haired boy beside him.

Ken rubbed his eyes tiredly and looked up. "Yeah?"

"What would you do if Davis said he forgave you?" asked the blonde.

Ken, who was sitting indian style on the floor next to a blanket with the twins on it, leaned back a bit. "I could really hurt you for asking that question, considering it hurts me to answer it..." began Ken.

TK blushed. "Sorry..."

"But, I would have to say that...I would leap for joy, and run back to his arms at once.."

"Oh, so, if Davis forgave you, you'd move back in with him?" asked TK, slightly disapointed. Ken nodded. "You wouldn't say...stay here or anything, right? Stay with the twins...and their real father..."

Ken looked at TK. "What are you trying to say here TK?"

"I-I'm not sure...but..lately...I've been thinking that...since you and Davis are history..." Ken shifted at that. "And since we do have kids together basically...That maybe...you and I shouldn't have...what you and Davis had..."

"TK, do you even know what Davis and I had together? We were going out...TK...I'm gay...You're not. You're in love with Kari.." Ken pointed out.

"Hmm...Not really..." mumbled TK.

"What?"

"Kari and I haven't been dating for a long time. We just happen to still live together..." admitted the blonde.

"Really? Why'd you break up...?" asked Ken. TK looked over at Ken as though it was really obvious. This made Ken blush a bit and inch away from TK.

"Sorry Ken. But it's true..."TK sighed.

"Wow...For how long?" asked Ken.

"Basically, ever since I found out the twins were mine...that I was the father. The day I found out, and we were all in the hospital...I began to look at you in a new light, and Kari knew this. She let me go easy. In fact, it was her idea for us to break up. She's such a sweetheart..."

There was silence. All that could be heard was the 'goos' and 'gahs' after Kyoshi and Iniko, who eventually fell asleep.

"TK? Could you come here a sec?" spoke Ken first, getting up and walking into the next room.

TK quickly followed without hesitance.

Once they were in the other room, next to the front of the apartment window, Ken walked up close to TK and smiled. He slowly wrapped his arms around the blonde's shoulder, who was several inches taller than him. TK caught on to what was going on and wrapped his arms around Ken's waist.

TK's furrowed his brow. "Is your hair longer?"

"Hmm...yeah...I need to get it cut..." mumbled Ken. TK nodded.

"TK..." whispered Ken. "Do you promise...that no matter where I go...or whatever happens to me...That you'll love and protect them forever...?"

"Yes Ken...I promise...adn I promise never to break that promise..." TK whispered back.

This made Ken chuckled. "A double promise...Great."

They kissed.

The Next Morning TK's Apartment

TK groaned in his spot on the couch, his eyes burning from the bright light shining in on his face. He moved his arms around, searching for Ken as he rubbed his eyes.

"Ken?" he called out into the room. "Ken?" He eventually put his feet on the ground and managed to stand up. He walked into the living room where the twins lay sleeping in their crib, and there, on the couch, which sat right next to it, sat Ken. His knees drawn up to his chest where his chin laid, Ken sat there, his eyes filled with angst and sadness as he watched the twins. A sad look at guilt on his features. He wore his infamous light green pajamas and pink slippers.

"Ken?" TK repeated, steeping closer. Ken looked up at him, his face going even more sad.

"TK...You won't ever forget me...will you?" whispered the indigo.

TK couldn't help but laugh. "Ken, you sound as though you're leaving!"

Ken nodded. "I know. But would you?"

TK stopped laughing and looked Ken in the eyes. "Of course I would Ken." Ken only nodded, turning back to the twins. Not another word was said until several moments later.

"TK...? Um...I looked in the fridge...and we have no milk...Could you go and get some please?" TK looked at Ken, walking into the kitchen as he spoke.

"Oh, sure. I'll go now. Just let me get changed" replied TK. Ken watched sadly as he went.

Ken silently watched the twins as he waited for TK to get dressed, and when TK was done, and the blonde came back out, Ken stood up.

"I'll just wait here and relax...Okay?" he spoke softly. TK nodded, grabbing some money and heading out the door. Wormmon then decided to crawl up and sit in Ken's lap.

"What are you thinking about Ken?" he asked.

"Wormmon...Pick a name...Quick. Iniko? Or Kyoshi?" was all Ken said, rushed.

Wormmon only cocked his head to one side, confused.

An Hour Later - TK's Apartment

TK walked through the door about an hour or so later, a large milk carton in his hand. "Ken! Kari! I'm back! Sorry it took so long! But the grocery store was packed for some reason...Ken?"

TK put the carton of milk on the counter, hearing tiny baby sounds coming from the crib. TK walked over and smiled down at the little crib. Yet he frowned when he saw that there was only one baby in it. Furrowing his brow, he picked up the baby and smiled.

"Hey little Kyoshi...Where's your brother? Did Ken take him into the other room?" TK asked the baby, knowing fully well he wouldn't get an answer. He smiled when all Kyoshi did was drool. Laughing, TK put him back down and gave him his rattle, making the baby very happy.

TK shrugged when he didn't hear the sounds of Ken or Kari in the other room. He knew Kari was at work, but Ken should be there. He walked into the kitchen, grabbed the milk and went to open the fridge. He froze when he looked inside. A whole, new fresh carton of milk was already inside.

'We didn't need milk...' thought TK. 'So Ken made that up...But why?'

"Ken!" TK called out through the apartment. "We didn't need milk! Why'd you say we did?" The blonde waited for a responce, and after minutes of waiting, he discovered he wasn't going to get one. He looked down at the counter and found himself a note.

Picking it up, TK read it:

TK,

I'm sorry...

Ken, Iniko

TK dropped the letter, his heart pounding heavily in his chest. He ran down the hallway of the apartment, slamming all the doors open checking every room. Each one was empty.

"Ken!" TK cried, getting frantic. "KEN!"

The last door TK slammed open was Ken's. He halted when he looked inside. The room was completely bare of Ken's things. The bed was made, yet was missing his pillow and some blankets. All of Ken's books were gone. His laptop. His crest, and Digivice, and his D-Terminal. His photo album. All of his clothes.

He then looked at the conrer of the room, where Wormmon's little spot was. It was gone too. His little basket where Ken let him take naps on, his little pillow. Everything of Wormmon's was gone too.

Gone.

Ken was gone.

TK had no idea how long he stood there, gaping at ken's empty room, but he was suddenly brought out of it when he heard Kyoshi's cries.

He wlaked into the room where Kyoshi's crib was stationed. He picked Kyoshi up slowly, holding him close. He gently kissed Kyoshi on his little blonde head.

He was gone...
