Chapter 20

The next day was a free day, and Yumi was lying in bed, wondering what she should do, when she thought of Ken. She felt bad, remembering that he was feeling the same pain she was. He had lost family…and his Digimon. Yumi sat up, and said, "Iinomon…let's go see Ken." Iinomon nodded, and watched her as she changed and pulled her shoes on. She scooped Iinomon into her arms and left. She walked to the apartment building, and soon found the room. She knocked gently, and a woman opened the door. "Hello." She said, wondering who she was.

"Hello, I was a friend of Ken's before he left. I heard he came back…and thought I should pay him a visit." The woman, obviously his mother, nodded, opening the door wider. Yumi stepped in, with Iinomon nestled in her arms peacefully. "He's in his room…on the computer." Yumi nodded as his mother pointed out the door. She was right outside the door, and knocked softly. She heard a soft, "Come in." and she opened the door. She stepped in, softly closing the door behind her. "Ken…"

He was sitting at a computer, looking at the Digivice on the keyboard. "Are…are you okay?" Iinomon questioned, feeling bad. He looked up with surprise to hear Iinomon's voice, and Yumi said, "Ken…I just…want to help. You may not know it, but we want to help you." He was thinking, and said, "I need…to go to the Digital World…to find Wormmon." Yumi understood, and said, "I know where to look." She held her Digivice, and they went through his computer to the Digital World. They were in the desert, but Miharumon didn't complain. They soon reached Primary Village. It looked just like Yumi remembered, and Miharumon breathed in the scent. Ken started looking around for Wormmon's Digiegg, but he forgot what it looked like.

Yumi looked at all of them, but she had no idea what the Digiegg looked like. Some baby Digimon were mad at Ken, saying there was no way to change the past. Miharumon said, "There may be no way to change the past, but you can change the future." Ken's Crest of Kindness began to glow, and so did a Digiegg. He touched the Digiegg, and it showed Leafmon.

Leafmon forgave Ken, and Yumi smiled at the reunion, remembering her own with Miharumon, and knelt by her Digimon's side, wrapping her arms around Miharumon's neck and hugging her tight. They went back to the real world with Leafmon, and Yumi left as Ken had his moment with his parents. Iinomon nodded at Leafmon, waving a paw, and they were out the door.

As they walked back to Yumi's house, Yumi said, "Iinomon…I missed you…I don't think I was even myself…while you were gone." Iinomon said, "I missed you…while in my Digiegg. I'm sorry…I caused you so much pain, Yumi." Yumi smiled, and said, "You're forgiven, Iinomon." She hugged her tight, saying, "I can never be mad at you."
