Author's Note: Well... don't really know what to say now, except to thank for those few loyal fans/ reviewers of this particular story (feels special). I hope this story isn't boring you out, but I promise: once Kyle starts to know what she can really do with her powers, that's when things start to get interesting... PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Thank you!Oh, and there are missing words in a sentence, than use light flames please. I'm still checking over this chapter for that.

Chapter Six:

Giving In to Agony

Kyle's eyes shot open, and she wished she could of stayed sleeping forever in that peaceful dream. It would of been living a lie, but she would rather be in a dream of happiness than in the nightmare that her world is going to be in. After running away from Myotismon that afternoon, the girl ran far until she found and stayed at an exotic and expensive hotel. She knew she shouldn't have used her father's credit card to check into that place, but it wouldn't have made a difference since her husband would rule her world... it was just a matter of time.

The room that she checked in was just a normal room, but was much larger than most hotel rooms that people sleep in. After all, this is an expensive place to sleep. Her bed was very large, and in front of the bed was a good sized TV with many channels on it. The bathroom was also huge, with a hot tub and shower (of course.) The most unusual thing about this room was the large window that touched the ceiling and to the ground. Kyle did not like this window. She did not want to see what was out there.

Kyle's arm was hanging loosely over the bed, as for she was laying on the bed while watching TV. She had turned on the cartoons that would usually make her laugh and not feel so sad, but nothing was cheering her up. She felt so frightened right now about everything that's happened. Her eyes looked very tired, her hair was becoming matted and covered most of her face. She did not want anyone to see her; she was a horrible wreck.

The poor young woman was squirming and groaning quietly in fear. She closed her eyes as she gripped the bed sheets and cried silently into them.

"Please, my love... I want to be with you..." Kyle opened her eyes once more and looked towards that large window I had mentioned a little earlier. The girl had drawn the curtains over it so she wouldn't have to see the silhouette figure on the other side. Just outside her window... was her husband: Myotismon. The vampire Lord was leaning up against the glass on his side, while lightly touching it with his hand. He sighed deeply; he could feel his wife's presence in there. He wanted to be with her. To touch her, and love her like he wanted to. It pained him that his love was still trying to deny him, even though she really did love her husband.

"Go away..." Kyle sobbed into the bed sheets, and no matter how low her voice got, Myotismon could easily hear her.

"My darling, open the window and let me be with you... I won't hurt you. I would never hurt you..." His voice was soothing, calm, and somewhat sad. "I love you..." he whispered, and it seemed like his soft voice went through the glass to brush the cheeks of his wife.

Tears were staining Kyle's face for she was crying hard. She still couldn't believe, and didn't want to believe that this was really happening to her life. "All my life just went to hell..." she whispered to herself, and than she looked back at the curtained window. "Please, just leave me alone... "

"Just let me come in... I can make you feel better. I understand that these powers are scaring you..." His mouth almost curled up into a smile, but he maintained his stern lips as best as possible.

Kyle began to breath heavily; deeply. "Myotismon..." she groaned in fear. "I... I..." She couldn't really think of what else to say. There were so many things inside her head; spinning, making her feel dizzy and confused.

"My darling..." he whispered to her once more, "Let me come inside your room and --"

"JUST GO AWAY!" Kyle screamed out in agony. She cried hard and loud as she slowly slumped off the bed and continued to sob on the floor. She stood up and staggered backwards badly, but managed not to fall over. She practically dragged herself to the curtain of the window where she gripped both sides of it. Taking a deep breath, she pulled back the curtains, but... he wasn't there anymore. Her eyes became wide with fear and some curiosity as to where Myotismon could have gone.

Kyle got down on her knees and rested her head against the glass. "Myotismon..." she whispered, "Why me?... I'm nothing like those women out there. Why don't you marry some other girl and give your powers to her?" She sighed heavily in fear. "Oh Myotismon... why do you love me?..." Kyle laid down on the floor and starred out onto the main lighted buildings, somehow hoping Myotismon would give her an answer. She didn't hear nothing though, not even the whispers of him in her head. It was so late into the night, that Kyle never realized that her soft crying had gradually made her too weary to stay awake.

Myotismon was still watching her though. From afar on top of one of those tall buildings where the lights on it shone brightly. He could still see his wife sleeping by that window. Phantomon was also present beside his master, starring straight ahead of him to view all the new surroundings of this city.

"Master..." Phantomon said softly, "Do you wish me and the Bakemon to bring that girl to you?" He slightly turned his head to Myotismon.

Myotismon closed his eyes and gestured his hand to have Phantomon stay put. "No..." he whispered. "I wish to get her myself. I would go and make her mine now, but... I'm waiting for the right time... This is most certainly not the right moment though..." He sighed sadly and turned away from where his wife was.

"What do you want me to do then?" Phantomon asked.

"The digidestined are headed here to find my wife and to stop me..." Myotismon almost snickered at the children's goal. "But instead of trying to stop those children, I want you -- with the aide of other evil digimon, to capture the digidestineds monsters..."

Phantomon's eyes widened a little to this idea. "But... just what are we going to do with their digimon?" He asked, taken aback by this thought. "They're good digimon, they would never give up without a fight."

"Look at where we are, Phantomon: this isn't the Digital World, nor is this their Japan. We are in a different world -- a true world, where these foolish mortals believe that we only exist in television..." Myotismon smiled evilly and his eyes were filled with lust on ruling this world. He than waved his hand to Phantomon, "Now go -- Arukenimon and Mummymon will accompany you into the capture of those digimon. Those digidestined fools will never even think about what is to come... Don't worry about the girl; leave her to me. She will eventually stop running. She knows it is foolish to keep resisting me..."

Phantomon bowed and flown off though the dark skies. Myotismon turned himself back around to stare at the hotel building once more.

"Why do you love me?..." that question from his love went through his head like a gentle breeze going by.

Myotismon whispered into the night, "No one needs an answer for love. You are like me: dark and full of power..." He closed his eyes and breathed in softly. "I do not want those other women. I want you, and only you."

Matt's eyes shot open as he quickly sat up. His body was sweating and even his face gleamed with beads of sweat. He felt nervous and somewhat scared of what's going on. He looked around himself and slumped in his seat. Unfortunately, everyone was -- I guess you could say 'camping out' on that partially ruined bus that Kyle's older brother had hot-wired. The bus was well hidden in the shadows as to not attract the attention of the evil digimon lurking about here and there. They were still somewhat far from Chicago, but still a long way to go. The digidestined are grateful that they have some means of transportation to get there.

Matt sat up in the seat that he had slept in, and squinted his eyes as he tried to adjust at how dark it was. "You guys..." he called out softly. "I think we should start to head for this city now..."

Tai groaned as he sat up slowly in his seat. He was the only one who heard Matt's voice. "What Matt? It's still too early you know... Whatever it is, can't it wait till later?" Before Matt could even say anything to Tai, the young man quickly laid back down. Now the only sounds that could be heard were the soft and loud snoring of his friends.

Matt just leaned back in his seat and gazed out his window to the dark, foggy sky. "Just what the hell is going on here?" He whispered, and than his eyes began to flutter a little; slowly closing. "Where are you Kyle?..."

As the young man's eyes began to close, and as his body was submitting to sleep, he suddenly heard a quiet, but rash whisper to his ear. "I feel so cold..." Anyone would of thought that he woken up worried and fearful of this voice, but no. He sat up and growled irritably; wondering where this voice came from. His eyes grew wide as he looked around on the bus. It wasn't night anymore, it was now the morning for the sky was lighter outside, but still overcast with the heavy fog. Just how long was he asleep? To the boy, it felt like he just went to sleep again...

"Well... there's no food on this bus, so if y'all looking for it -- don't," said Shaun gruffly as he was starting up the bus. "If you're hungry, than wait till we get to Chicago. We're going to that train station first, and I know there's cafes and stuff down there." He snorted slightly as he said, "Might as well raid them, 'cause it looks like it wouldn't matter in the end..."

As the bus started to move out of the shadows and onto the main highway to Chicago, the children and digimon just starred out their windows and looked very depressed on everything that's happened. Even the outside world was filled with depression, and it seems that everything in it will just get worse -- sadder.

When they were nearing the city, everyone's eyes grew wide to which they saw that the place looked like none of Myotismon's evil had touched it; the city looked like it would everyday. The children and everyone else were shocked to see it that way. "If Kyle is here, than wouldn't Myotismon be here too?" Tai said in bewilderment.

Matt slowly turned and looked at Tai and nodded his head slowly, "He's here alright. I know it for sure. I'm just wondering what the vampire is waiting for. If he knows where Kyle is, than why isn't he getting her?"

"Maybe he's waiting for the right moment or something," said Davis and shrugged slightly as if he was unsure.

It seems that right before they entered the city, Shaun parked the bus on the outskirts and hid it behind some trees and bushes that were left. The city had hardly any vegetation or nature in it. Davis frowned, "Why don't you just drive us into the city? I don't feel like walking around in that mess!"

Shaun turned around in his seat to face Davis. He grunted somewhat sarcastically, "Do you think I want to attract the cops or anybody else parking this thing in the city? I know that our whole world's going to be in hell pretty soon, but cops are cops, and they're still around..." All the children just blinked at the older man. Davis just merely kept his mouth shut now. Shaun got out of his seat and started to head off the bus. "We got a long way to walk, and you kids and them freaks of yours better keep up.."

Right after Shaun had said that, the children and digimon kicked it into high gear and quickly got off the bus and followed the man into the city. The digidestined and digimon were in awe at how big and the many buildings that were here. From afar, you could see how tall every single building is from one another, and even from a distance, the city looked spectacular. Being in the city was so much different though. Yes, there were the fancy and exotic buildings, but it was the people in this place that made it so unique but quite sad. The people here were either business men, tourists, or the unfortunate. The business people bumped and shoved the poor children and digimon as they quickly walked pass to where they were going. The tourists came in many different types, and were the ones that most likely had no idea where they were going. It was the unfortunate people that made the children seem sad and depressed. As they would pass by a person of the sort, the digidestined wished they had any money to spare for such a person. They would need it in times like this anyways.

"Are we there yet?" Complained Davis as he was practically dragging himself along the sidewalks of the city. "This is taking to long. We should of rode in that bus!"

Shaun turned his head slightly towards Davis and said angrily, "Will you shut-up now! God, you are so fking annoying!" All the children's eyes grew wide when they heard this man speak like that. That was all it took to keep that young boy's mouth shut.

"I wonder if that guy is really related to this girl that were after..." Ken whispered to Matt. The Wormmon in his arms was sleeping peacefully.

Matt shrugged and whispered back, "The way he dresses, it's definitely Kyle's taste, but she doesn't act like him at all -- well, maybe a little..."

They all stopped when a crosswalk light had turned red for them. Sora looked around herself at her surroundings, but when she tilted her head upwards, she cringed at what she saw. There was a quaint little store next to them with a canopy over it, but under this canopy were bats hanging under the thing. Those bats appeared to be very familiar to her... with the odd red lettering on their small heads. The young girl cringed when they flew off towards the sky. "I have a bad feeling about this..." she said nervously.

Tai wrapped an arm around Sora's waist to bring her closer to him. "Don't worry, Sora, we're gonna be fine. You'll see, just as long as we have our digimon with us, we have nothing to worry about."

Sora bit her lip as she gazed at the sky once more. "But..." she began slowly, "I got a feeling that Myotismon or his henchmen are expecting us here... don't you think?"

"Speaking of digimon..." Davis interrupted the two lovers, "How come people aren't screaming and running around in fear? Digimon are monsters you know..." just then, the crosswalk light turned green, and everyone started to cross the street quickly to the other side.

"Perhaps people here think that digimon are really just children in costumes..." Izzy pointed out to Davis, "After all, they think we and digimon are just part of television, or so I believe..." Davis just shrugged to Izzy's theory.

As they all reached another crosswalk light, Shaun stated, "We're almost to that train station... I hope. I'm pretty sure it's just across this street and to our left. It goes underground, so be on the look out for that." Than they all crossed the street as soon as the light turned green. Shaun kept shifting his eyes to the left every so often as to not miss the train station recreation center. His eyes lit up when he caught sight of people coming in and out of a place that seemed to decline into the ground. "This is it, we're finally here..." said Shaun as they all headed towards the doors of the place.

All the children and digimon smiled inside as they finally reached the train station. To them it felt like they walked forever in this crazy labyrinth of a city. Davis sighed in relief when they all walked into the recreation center. "Finally! Let's get something to eat!" his eyes quickly darted around for a cafe or restaurant of some sort.

Shaun rolled his eyes and grabbed Davis' shoulder roughly, "You start anything, and I'm gonna have to kick your a --" suddenly, everyone heard a little girl's crying fill the entire recreation center. All the people that were wondering about stopped and looked around themselves to see where it was coming from. "That sounded like..." the cry came about again, only even louder. "Victoria!" Shaun took off through the recreation center to look for his daughter, leaving the children and digimon to just stand there shocked at what just happened.

Davis crossed his arms and grunted, "And he tells me that I shouldn't start something, geez..."

Tai started to run on ahead. "Come on, we gotta know where that guy is going. I gotta bad feeling about this!"

"That's what I just said!" Sora snapped at Tai somewhat, than they all ran after Shaun to see where he was going.

As they kept running through the place, going past crowds of rude people, they suddenly saw Shaun out in the middle of it all, hugging what seemed to be a little girl with dark brown, wavy hair. The digidestined and digimon slowly approached Shaun and his daughter, Victoria.

"God... are you okay, Victoria?" Shaun asked worriedly to his little girl.

The little girl merely nodded while she had a few fingers in her mouth. The children thought that it was very odd that this little girl didn't appear to look frightened at all; and just how could that girl stay in one place all alone for that long, while Kyle was else where?

"Where Kyle?" Victoria asked her father softly.

Shaun looked over his shoulder at the digidestined and than back at Victoria, "We don't know, but we're going to find her," than the man mumbled, "I'm just glad none of them bastards have touched you..."

Victoria grabbed her father's finger gently and said quietly, but sweetly, "Can we go home, daddy? I wanna go home. I don't want to look for Kyle..."

Shaun was very shocked at what Victoria just said, and the length of words. Usually she only says about two words a sentence! "Hey, don't say crap like that! What the heck is wrong, Victoria?" Shaun looked more worried and nervous as his daughter began to smile evilly.

"Lord Myotismon is going to find her, and you or the digidestined will not get in his way!" The lights in the recreation center suddenly kicked off, and the people in it began to scream and mutter fearfully to themselves. When the lights came back on as a dim glow, Shaun was gone.

"What the heck..." Tai looked all around himself to see where Shaun or Victoria could have went. "Where did they go?"

"Over here..." called out a little girl's voice softly, almost sneering. The digidestined looked over in the distance to see hordes of Bakemon, accompanied by Phantomon, Arukenimon and Mummymon. The digidestined gasped when they suddenly saw the three horrid digimon holding a couple of their digimon, while the Bakemon were holding the rest. The little 'Victoria's' eyes grew wide while her smile turned to a menacing grin.

Tai and the others looked around themselves to make absolutely sure their digimon were gone, and they were. "This isn't good..." said Tai somewhat nervously. "And they took our digivices too!" The boy searched himself for the object of digievolution, but like his digimon, it was gone too.

"Ta --" But Agumon's mouth was covered by Arukenimon's claws, preventing the poor digimon from speaking.

"What's going on here?" Sora squealed. The Bakemon who were not holding the captured digimon started to approach the digidestined slowly. Everyone in the recreation center were screaming and running around to get away from the monsters.

"Don't you see -- it's perfect!" Phantomon snickered. "Lord Myotismon knew you would be helpless without your digimon, and he is right. You can't defeat him, nor can you ruin his plans again. He is going to rule this world, and there is nothing you can do about it!" Than he, Arukenimon and Mummymon started to cackle oddly but evilly. "Go get them, Bakemon! We're leaving to take care of these digidestined digimon for our master..."

"No!" Cried out Ken, but it was too late: Phantomon, Arukenimon, Mummymon, and some of the Bakemon disappeared into the ground with their digimon and the digivices. Now the children have to worry about the approaching Bakemon who were coming ever so closer.

"What are we gonna do now?" Davis asked everyone that was around him. The boy shrieked when that evil little girl, posing as Victoria grabbed Davis' arm roughly.

"Lord Myotismon is expecting you to go to him... now come with us!" The little girl slowly started to faze into fog and then to the form of a Bakemon. Davis and the children gasped.

"This was a trap!" Davis cried out as he shoved the Bakemon away from him. "We gotta run! That's the only thing we can do now!" Everyone nodded in agreement and all turned on their heels and ran in the opposite direction to get out of the recreation center. The dimwitted Bakemon pursued after the children, but not as quickly (unfortunate for them.) Since there were many people running around and screaming, this just made getting the digidestined children harder for the Bakemon, and as the ghosts neared the exit, they knew it was pointless to continue.

"Where did they go?..." Asked one of the Bakemon in it's ghostly tone as they all slowly exited the place. Most of them looked around outside while starting to float towards the skies to get a better view below.

"This place just has too many humans in it. They all look the same to me..." replied another Bakemon.

"Lord Myotismon is not going to be happy about this, but at least we have the good digimon. Now the digidestined are helpless without them..." The rest of the Bakemon smirked and laughed quietly to themselves as they flew off in different directions, as in attempt to search for the children.

"They're gone..." Izzy pointed up to the sky and watched one of the Bakemon fly by. "They give up easily, don't they?" The children had run away from the ghostly creatures, and hid amongst the crowds of people that were walking through the city aimlessly.

"We can still try to find Kyle before they all do..." Matt looked at his friends with a determined expression. "With or without digimon, we still have to find that girl before they do." Everyone nodded and formed determined expressions on their faces as well.

"A plan is in order," Tai declared out loud to his friends, "First: we get that girl before the bad guys do. Second: we either try to get back our digimon and digivices, or we find a computer terminal or something close to that and call for help from the rest of our friends."

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Davis formed a wry little smile on is face, but quickly faded when he saw the expressionless faces of his friends.

"The only problem is..." Matt started to say, and he bit his lip with worriment, "Where the heck is Kyle?"

Kyle walked down the halls of the hotel to the cashier in order to check out of the place. The young woman had cleaned herself up a bit, as so she doesn't look like a horrible mess when she leaves the hotel. "Checking out, miss?" Asked the cashier woman behind the counter. She typed in something on her computer.

Kyle merely nodded, "Yes, but..." she looked at the front entrance of the hotel place. She knew Myotismon or some bad guy was probably waiting for her to leave. "Is there any other way out of this place? I'm embarrassed to say this, but I think there's somebody stalking me out there..."

The cashier woman nodded uncertainly, as if she didn't believe a word that the poor girl had said. "Yes..." said the woman softly, and she pointed in the opposite direction or where the front entrance was. "There's the other way out, but it's only used by employees only. Just make sure no one sees you, okay?" Kyle thanked the woman and quickly walked towards the other exit of the hotel and left the place.

Kyle gasped and hugged herself as it was a bit chilly outside, but that wasn't going to stop her from hiding and running somewhere else away from Myotismon. "I love him... but why do I want to hide from him?" She asked herself in her mind. "I just don't know what to do..." From where she exited out, she was now in some sort of back alley, and knew she better get out of it before some gang jumped her for money.

As she edged to the sidewalks and the busy streets of Chicago, they girl quickly glanced around to make sure the coast was clear for anyone bad, than she left and walked amongst the busy and crowds of people. Kyle muttered impatiently as she had to stop at a crosswalk sign that had suddenly turned red. Her breathing got heavy as she looked around herself. She felt very uneasy about something; she sensed something bad, something evil around her. Kyle squinted across the street she was about to go on, and on the other side she saw other people waiting like she was. She looked past these people, and saw one lone man leaning himself against the side of a building. This man's cruel eyes were starring intensely into Kyle's.

"No... no..." Kyle squealed and started to back away slowly. The crosswalk light had just turned green, everyone began to cross the streets, including him. This man wasn't in those other clothes anymore, he was in that blue medieval style suit that he wears usually. Kyle turned herself around and walked quickly away from the crosswalk lights.

When it seemed to her that he was not in her sights anymore, someone grabbed her arm and dragged her to the side and away from the crowds of people passing by. Kyle whimpered as she was pinned to the side of a building by her husband. "You're so beautiful..." he purred in her ear, and he titled her chin up a bit. His lips curled as he brought them to his love's and brushed on them lightly. Just as he was about to lock his mouth passionately with hers, she whimpered loudly as she shoved him away hard and darted down the sidewalks.

Myotismon leaned himself against a building once more as he watched her run away again. He knew she was about to break. Kyle knew this too. She can't run anymore; she was just too tired of it. She was growing weary of it. "Myotismon..." she whispered as she stopped running. "I'm so tired -- I'm so tired of running. I can't resist anymore. I'll wait here. I'll stay here until you find me..." Kyle turned herself to stare at a very large, and wide building full of stores. This was the only mall in Chicago, and one of the fanciest ones around. She was going to wait here... and be captured by him. The digidestined will be too late.

"Now..." Myotismon cooed inside her mind. "This is the right moment to make you mine..."
