Chapter 6

Davis was still concerned about Ken and he could tell that there was something wrong, more than what Ken was letting on. Davis didn't know what to do now because he had tried to be there for Ken but Ken just pushed him further away.

At lunchtime at school Davis sat with the TK, Yolie, Kari and Cody.

"So how did it go with Ken last night?" Kari asked Davis.

"Not good," Davis replied.

"How not?" Yolie asked looking concerned.

"Well it was going alright to begin with but then he chucked me out. Like just told me to leave. He looked really annoyed," Davis explained. Davis has never seen Ken get that annoyed with him before.

"What was he really like mean and rude when he chucked you out?" Cody asked.

"No really he just said I think it's best you leave and got up an opened the door. But I could see it in his eyes that he was really annoyed," Davis replied.

"It just doesn't sound like Ken does it?" TK said, "I thought now he was accepting that we were all here for him and he is part of the digidestined's and that we all stick by each other and we are a team. Now he seems to prefer begin a lone wolf". TK knew that the digidestined's always stuck together and stood by each other but it seemed that Ken didn't want that.

"Yeah I feel sort of sorry for him. I think he has gone through so much and I think he is almost punishing himself because he thinks that he doesn't deserve to have friends because what he did as the digimon emperor," Kari said.

"Maybe someone else should try talking to him?" Cody suggested.

"But who Davis is closest with Ken?" Kari asked.

"Maybe someone who isn't so close to him would help. You know maybe he just needs someone else to talk to," TK suggested.

"Like who though? Davis asked.

"Well just one of us who is not you?" TK replied.

"I don't see how that will make a difference," Davis replied. Davis knew he was the closest friends with Ken out of everyone and couldn't see how Ken would want to speak to someone else but not him.

"Well because maybe he feels you won't understand or something or that he would rather not speak to you about it so maybe it's best if someone else tries," TK said as he tried to explain.

"I'll do it if you want," Yolie offered. Yolie felt she had to do something to help. She knew she wasn't that close with Ken but for some reason she wasn't sure of she really wanted to help him.

"You sure Yolie?" TK asked.

"Yeah I'll go after school today," Yolie replied.

It was last class of the day and Yolie and Kari were in Biology. Yolie was feeling a little nervous about going to see Ken because she wasn't sure what she was going to say to him and she was scared he would just chuck her out as well.

"I really hope Ken opens up to you," Kari smiled at Yolie.

"I know I do agree with you and I do feel bad for him. He hasn't had it easy so far in his life with his brother dying and then getting the dark spore and then becoming the digimon emperor," Yolie said.

Yolie got on the bus after school and got off next to Ken's school where she waited for him to leave because she knew he had soccer practise after school. When she saw Ken coming she was relieved because at least she knew he was still playing soccer so he wasn't completely isolating himself from everyone. But that made her ask herself the question was it just the digidestined's he was isolating himself from.

"Yolie!" Ken looked surprised to see her, "Yesterday Davis and today you, what next Cody turning up tomorrow?"

"Ken we are worried about you," Yolie said.

"But you guys have nothing to worry about!" Ken said raising his voice as he was getting annoyed with everyone fussing over him and worrying about him.

"But we all know that that is not true," Yolie replied.

"How do you? Because I don't hang out with you guys as much because that was the only thing Davis was saying yesterday. In case you forgot I live further away from all of you guys and go to a different school," Ken replied.

"I know that but I can tell that there is something else bothering you and to be honest Ken I don't even know you as well as Davis does and as well as I know the others but I can still tell that there is something wrong with you. You really began to come out of your shell and you laughed a lot more and had a bit of fun but now I can't even remember the last time I saw you laugh or have a smile on your face that wasn't a fake smile," Yolie said, "And you know what I bet I could take a guess as what it is that has made you like this".

"What then?" Ken looked interested to see what Yolie was going to say.

Yolie had only just figured it out herself but she was pretty sure she could tell what it was or at least was part of the reason for Ken pushing them away was.

"You are obviously missing Wormmon, but that is exact same as what the rest of us are going through. We all miss our digimon Ken," Yolie was guessing that Ken was isolating himself away from the rest of the digidestined's because they were a constant reminder of Wormmon and she knew that because he was still going to soccer practise that it meant that he was isolating himself away from everyone else just the digidestined's.

Ken never said anything. "Well I'm taking the silence that I am right or at least that is part of the reason for you avoiding spending time with us," Yolie said.

"Well it's just now fair how for some reason a gate is going to shut so it means that we can't see our digimon and we don't know when we will next. What if the gate never opens again or if it doesn't open for another 100 years and by then we will all be dead!" Ken replied with a tone of anger in his voice.

Yolie was surprised that she might actually have figured out the reason for Ken isolating herself and couldn't help but feel slightly pleased with herself.

"Ken I completely understand what you're saying. Every day I wake up and I check my phone in hope that Izzy or one of the other guys have texted me to say that a digi gate is open. Sometimes I even speak to Hawkmon and wait for him to reply and then I remember that he's no longer here!"

"Wormmon was someone who I could talk to about everything. There wasn't a thing in the world I couldn't say to him," Ken said. Ken was really finding it hard to deal with without having Wormmon around .

"Yeah and I feel the same way about Hawkmon and I know everyone else feels the same way. Every time Izzy is on his laptop he is always checking for digi gates opening. Tai is always asking Izzy whenever he sees him if gates have opened. Just remember Ken that everyone feels the same way. But isolating yourself from the rest of the digidestined's won't help because they are the ones who get me through it. I don't know what I would do without my friends," Yolie said. Yolie totally felt like she understood what Ken was going through but she knew that whenever she felt down she would go speak to one of the other digidestined's who would cheer her up.

"Thanks Yolie. It is good to know that I'm not alone. I think I just keep forgetting that," Ken said, "I know that Davis is concerned about me and so the others but I would rather you didn't say anything to them because I don't want them all fussing over me".

"I promise you I will keep it to myself. You can trust me Ken and if you every need someone to talk to you know that I am here," Yolie smiled.

Ken really felt a sense of belonging as he knew that all the digidestined's were there for him and this was something that he was not use to. He had never had true friends before and was a bit overwhelmed by all the concern over him.

"You know you could always speak to TK, Kari or one of the older ones because they have been through this before, they were apart from their digimon for three years. But TK said that he always knew he would see Patamon again and he says the same this time, he says he knows that the bond between us and are digimon is too strong and that someday a gate will open again," Yolie said as she tried to pass on the hope that TK had to Ken.

"I know TK is right the bond we each share with our Digimon is so strong," Ken said, "It's amazing to know that it's us that gives them to power to digivolve".

"I know it is and you know what I am doing what TK does and that I believe that one day a digiport will open soon," Yolie said, "Anyway I bet Hawkmon is enjoying the peace and quiet in the digiworld because my house is rather loud with me and my siblings there," Yolie laughed.

"Yeah I bet they are all glad that they don't have to pretend to be stuffed toys anymore when we are in public," Ken laughed.

"Yay," Yolie said, "You laughed there! I knew that that Ken was still in there somewhere".

"Yeah maybe you and as much as I hate to say it Davis was maybe right and I do need to except that I have true friends now and I can't shut myself away from them," Ken replied as he told himself that he was going to make more of an effort to see the digidestined's not isolate himself from them.

Yolie was really pleased with herself when she left Ken's and felt hat she had really got through to him and that her and Ken had a connection as they both really missed their digimon.
