I'm sorry, blame technology not me this time! My computer broke and I lost all the files for my stories, and homework. It's taken a while to gather the cash for a new one but its sorted now so updates should continue much faster hopefully. Anyhow I hope you like the latest chapter! Please review!

'Sakura! Will you just take it easy?' Ken shouted losing his patience. Not something that normally happened when he was dealing with me. I glared at him.

'I was sent to the dark ocean, I am not ill! I can get out and about Ken!' I don't normally yell at Ken but he was being ridiculously over protective. Since my collapse a few days ago he hadn't let me out of my rooms without him being there as well. He crossed his arms and met my glare.

'You nearly lost your crest and we have no clue who that guy is or how he got to the dark ocean. You aren't going anywhere!' He said in a cold voice. I winced.

'Ken, please.' I said giving him the puppy dog eyes and matching pout. His eyes widened before he turned round quickly so he didn't see.

'No, it's too dangerous. What if he attacks you again?' He asked. I gritted my teeth and marched round to face him.

'Ken Ichijouji either you let me go out right now or I'll, I'll track down Gennai and see if he has a room!' I told him firmly. He paled slightly and grabbed my arm like I was leaving already.

'Sakura, I can't believe I'm saying this but listen to Ken will you?' Me and Ken both spun round to stare at Lalamon stunned. She was sat on my bed with Wormmon watching the fight progress.

'Ah, thank you?' Ken didn't seem to know what else to say so he reverted to the good manners he had before all this started.

'Your agreeing with him now!' I wasn't quite as thrilled as I thought I would be when they agreed; I wonder why?

'Yes I am. You know full well that your loss of crest could be harmful.' She told me sternly.

'I'm fine!' I snapped. Ken sighed and nodded to Lalamon who started to use her singing attack. I couldn't resist the southing lullaby. I felt myself drop towards the floor only to be caught by Ken and placed back in the bed.

'Sweetest dreams, my angel.' He whispered before leaving.

It was dark. I don't mean nighttime dark either. I mean there was nothing to see; I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face. I couldn't feel anything either. My mind told me that this dark place should be cold but my body said it wasn't cold or warm. My ears picked up no sound, not even my quick beating heart or short breaths. 'Where am I.' my voice surprised me by echoing in the abyss.

'Choose child of possibility. Choose which…' A chilling voice echoed across the world before being torn away.

I opened my eyes to see I was staring at the ceiling of my room. What happened? Oh yeah, Lalamon used her song attack to send me to sleep, on Ken's orders too. I took a calming breath and sat up. A glance round my room told me that Lalamon and Wormmon were sleeping at the end of my bed. I smiled at the sight. I stood up quietly trying not to wake the sleeping Digimon and failing. They both snapped there eyes open to look at me. Wormmon's antenna perked up, a sure sign he was happy while Lalamon floated over to me and rubbed my cheek in her version of a hug. 'I'm so glad your up Sakura! Ken's been so worried, I'll go get him.' Wormmon said leaving quickly. I looked at Lalamon.

'Your impossible you know that.' She just laughed her bell like laugh. I smiled and petted her once. Then I frowned and looked at the door.

'Lalamon, I need you to do something for me. You won't like it but please don't argue, okay?' I said sternly.

'She did what!' Ken yelled in surprise. I sniffed and raised my tear soaked face from its place soaking his shirt.

'She, she said she was going to help the Digidestined. She told me, that she didn't want a partner who would make the wrong choice.' I continued the lie. Ken frowned and hugged me tightly.

'Hey, it's okay. I'm still here.' He said softly. I nodded going to wipe my eyes but Ken gently brushed the tears away. 'Listen, I need to work on my next plan but I tell Wormmon to keep you company, is that alright?' He asked. I nodded and smiled.

'Yes, thank you.' I told him truly grateful, he was putting me before his work. He could of just left me to cry but he waited till he knew I was okay and still sent Wormmon. Actually that made me think. 'Why are you always so mean to him? You obviously trust him still.' I noted. He frowned.

'I, I don't know.' He sounded almost scared, like a lost little boy. I couldn't resist my urge to touch his cheek.

'You'll figure it out, and I'll be right here when you do. Wormmon too.' I reminded him. He smiled and cupped his fingers under my chin pulling me closer until our lips met in a gentle, soft kiss. He pulled back with a smile.

'I know my Angel, my flower.' He whispered before leaving. I smiled as he closed the door softly. I heard five quick beeps telling me I had five emails. I quickly grabbed my D-terminal from my bedside table and opened it.

'To: Sakura Tenshi

From: Davis Motomiya

Subject: What the hell?!

Lalamon just arrived here and told us that you sent her. What's going on! She said something about this Dark Snore thingy and that that was what's controlling Ken. We sent for Izzy but are you sure having Lalamon here is a good idea? I mean, I know that Ken won't hurt you but if he's being controlled then there's no guarantee. Cody misses you, same for all of us.'

'To: Sakura Tenshi

From: Yolei Inoue.

Subject: Hi.

I'm not going to ask what's going on, you can tell us when you come back (with Ken after he's not evil and controlled.) You know we miss you right? Cody's putting on a brave face but I know he's sad. Kari's conflicted, she wants to say with us but doesn't want to fight her brother. TK's siding with the older ones but I think when it comes down to it he'll side with Kari. I've been talking to Mimi a lot by email. She said that she's glad she's in New York and she was really sorry about Ryo. She honestly didn't know anything until it happened and she thought Tai and Matt would of told you about him leaving. Tai and Matt are stubbornly saying that what they did was right and that your evil. Joe and Izzy aren't talking to them anymore and are helping us. They're on their way over now to talk to Lalamon. Hope you are well, Yolei.'

'To: Sakura Tenshi

From: Kari Kamiya.

Subject: I am sorry.

I know I can't really prove it by typing five letters but, sorry. Tai told me it was pointless to tell you as you would worry either way and convinced me it was for the best. It's not an excuse but it is the truth. I know you can never forgive me, but maybe someday we can be friends again. The Digidestined are divided and I'm having a hard time choosing which side to take. We're all missing our friend, Cody misses his sister but I guess this is one of those times we have to trust your judgement. Good luck, Kari.

'To: Sakura Tenshi

From: TK.

Subject: Ryo and Lalamon.

Matt told me about the tournament and I thought he was right. He made me think that it was for the good of the digital world and that it would be best for you not to know about Ryo's departure. That was wrong and I see that now but…you shouldn't have ran to Ken. Controlled or not he's still hurting Digimon and attacking the Digital World. I hope you decide to return to us, TK.'

'To: Sakura Tenshi

From: Cody Hida.

Subject: Hello.

Sakura, I miss you a lot. I'm being strong like I know you would like me to but it's hard. Ken better is treating you right. Do you think we can meet up and talk? Lalamon got here safely. Your little brother.' Oh Cody. I'm sorry. Could everything really fall apart so easily?

'You look sad.' I jumped and turned to see Wormmon coming up the side of the bed. I smiled a bit wanly.

'It's nothing, I just miss everyone.' I admitted. Wormmon frowned.

'Sakura…' He stared to say something but was interrupted by the door being slammed open. Ken looked absolutely furious as he grabbed my wrist tightly. I winced.

'Your hurting me.' I said coldly hiding my panic. He glared at me.

'Why would you miss those losers?' He hissed angrily. I gulped and tried to back away.

'Ken, your not being rational. Of course I miss them. Davis, Cody and Yolei did nothing wrong.' I told him. He took a breath and slapped me across the cheek. I felt my eyes widen and placed my had on my throbbing cheek in disbelief. Ken, just hit me. No, the Emperor hit me. Ken was completely controlled. I had to get to Izzy and the others; we were running out of time. If we waited much longer then, I might lose Ken to.

'Ken what are you doing. You just hit Sakura!' Wormmon demanded.

'Be quiet insect.' The Emperor snapped knocking Wormmon of the bed. I took a breath making a decision.

'I'm sorry.' I muttered before kneeing him where it would definitely hurt. He yelled out in pain as he stumbled to the floor. I took my chance and ran. I would of grabbed Wormmon but I knew he wouldn't leave Ken. I charged through the dark corridors of the base weaving through the maze. I had to get to a computer and travel to the real world. I wasn't safe here anymore. I gasped as I felt a sharp pain across my back and stumbled landing on the floor. I pulled myself up to my knees and held my throbbing shoulder. I looked over it to see the Emperor advancing holding his whip.

'Don't make me hurt you again. I can't let you leave.' He warned. I shivered slightly from fear as I tried to stand. I yelled out in pain as he whipped me again causing me to fall back to the floor. The Emperor's Digivice started beeping then signalling that the Digidestined were in the Digital World. The Emperor frowned before he came over and dragged me to my feet. I felt myself start to cry as he through me into a small room. It was very dark and would barely fit a bed, if it had any furniture.

'Stay here and behave.' The Emperor warned closing the door. I heard the lock click echo menacingly in the silence. I gasped and started banging fruitlessly on the door.

'Let me out! Ken please! Wormmon help me! Someone! Anyone help! Let me out of here!' I screamed my tears pouring out of my eyes. After a while I stopped and sat against the wall opposite curled up in a ball holding my knees to my chest for comfort.

'Sakura, Sakura.' Strange. I was floating in blackness and I could hear voices calling my name. I looked to see Cody and the rest of the Digidestined standing on a patch of green grass. Izzy and Joe were there too. Cody ran over and hugged me crying. As he did the grass seemed to move until it was under me as well. The sky turned blue like a perfect clear day. Davis walked over but his hug was just as caring. Joe followed but he pulled away and walked to look at my back. 'Sakura what happened?' He asked frowning. I gulped feeling tears coming to my eyes.

'The Dark Spore's getting stronger. Ken lost it when I mentioned I missed you guys.' I explained before telling them exactly what happened. Davis said a word that made Kari, Yolei and me hit him. He didn't even wince he just looked at me seriously.

'Sakura, listen. This is a dream we made to contact you by linking to your crest. Izzy can explain the details later but you need to wake up and escape. We're making a distraction right now but it won't last long. Hurry and get back to the computer room. It's your only chance.' Davis said. I felt my eyes widen as everyone started to slowly fade.

'No guys! I can't make it alone!' I yelled panicking. Davis gave his boyish grin before giving me a thumbs up.

'Sis, we believe in you.' Cody said before they vanished.

'No, guys!' I screamed.

'Come back!' I yelled waking up. In my panic I went forward and hit my head of the door. It did bring me back to my senses I thought ruefully holding it in on hand. I took a calming breath and stood looking at the door. It was solid metal with a small keyhole being the only thing to mark it out from the other three metal walls. Luckily I had been taught how to pick locks. By Ryo I remembered sadly. After unlocking the door I carefully peaked outside, no one there. I slipped out into the corridor and rushed quickly to the end. I looked round the corner before running down the next. I continued the process being careful not to run into any guards until I arrived at my room. I slipped in silently and quickly packing a bag of my processions and something's I reckon Ken would mind me 'borrowing.' With the bag already I snuck out the room. I was careful as I wandered through the base heading towards the exit. I neared the doorway that would let me out and frowned realising the Emperor had left two guards. I frowned. Leomon and Ogremon. I was sure they were the ones I had known on that first journey to the digital world. I had to free them somehow. I glanced at my wrist. I was still wearing the Control Spiral as I called it. The Emperor probably would have deactivated it but it was my only option right now. I tapped the symbol that allowed me control and stepped out.

'Dark Rings deactivate.' I ordered. The rings dropped of instantly. I smiled as I saw them start bickering. Same as always it seemed. 'Guys, I need a hand.' I told them.

'Alright!' I yelled as I rode SaberLeomon away from the base. Ogremon was leading the Emperor in the wrong direction by making another path. It might buy us sometime. I grabbed SaberLeomon's fur tightly when he made a sharp turn.

'I can smell Kari and TK in this direction. They're close by.' He explained. I felt myself grin.

'Let's go then!' I yelled happily. He responded by speeding up. I laughed despite the fact that recent events left nothing to laugh about. We charged over a green blur that would be fields at a lower speed. Then I saw them walking towards TV screen.

'Guys!' I yelled happily. They paused and spun round shocked as SaberLeomon stopped in front of them. I leapt of and hugged Davis and Cody happily. Yolei quickly joined in while Kari and TK greeted Leomon who'd de-Digivolved. 'You guys have no idea how much I missed you.' I noted joyfully.

'Welcome back, big sis.' Cody said cheerfully a sentiment echoed by the others.

'You children should head back while it's safe. Look after each other and I know we'll meet again.' Leomon told us before leaping of.

'Good-bye Leomon! Thank you!' I yelled waving.

'Sakura let's get you to Joe. He really wanted to take a look at your back.' Yolei noted concerned. The pain that had abated due to determination and adrenalin came back in full force. I winced and my attempt to hide it must have failed miserably as they marched me through the portal. I guess I was forgiven then.

Tensions rise as Sakura's return sparks mistrust among some of the Digidestined. Can they come together as a team? Find out in the next, Possability of Kindness
