I also found the song translation from Wikipedia.

By the way thank you to CallisaDawn for adding this story to their list. I hope you enjoy this next chapter.

CHAPTER 2:

"The prologue snatches away everything along with the scenery before us as the pure white feathers falls now

Flying away without even hearing the last words into this uncertain sky with nowhere to go

The special color that blocks my heart, sometimes a shadow, sometimes a dream, and sometimes love

When the shard of memories become important, they change into small courage

and overlap in the silhouette

If the prayers will become an unseen wind and reach the nape of your neck

I feel that I can overcome the pain and lies and the regret left behind so

believe, the many radiance that appears when you close your eyes

The proof of eternity is this Trinity Cross

Even if there's no song that will echo forever, this feeling will never fade

The pain I carried without knowing it, sometimes darkness, sometimes rain, and sometimes love

The important feeling

that was similar to the warmth notifying me that every scene is wonderful now

With a strong force that can be called as an oath I felt that 'I want to protect you'

I feel that I can cope with the sins and punishment and the regret from sadness so

believe, even if the sudden wind makes you uneasy

The proof of eternity is this Trinity Cross

I wonder why? I feel far from time to time. Although I'm very close.

Feeling painful by wanting to convey more words than now

to an endless tomorrow

The pure white feathers fall now and become the veil that covers the two of us

I feel that I will never get lost again in the morning and night and the regret of reminiscence

believe, the many radiance that appears when you close your eyes

The proof of eternity is this Trinity Cross…"

Clapping alerted her of the other and she crossed her arms refusing to turn. The softness of his voice caught her off guard, but not the news.

"Kiku has found and made contact with Alfred's family. They should be making their way here soon." She said nothing but it was obvious from her silence that she was furious. He waited for her to say or even do something but she didn't, so when he stepped to leave it was a surprise to hear her tender voice sound so empty. "Y'know...I've been with Alfred for nearly nine years in human terms, but at least three billion here in this place. I know him, I know him better than most, so when I told you not to bring those three here I meant it."

He sighed frustrated, "We've talked about this. They deserve to know and they might be able to find him." She went silent and immediately shook her head. "No they wouldn't….There was a reason why I rejected the idea…"

….

The group of four, six counting the digimon, sat at the dinner table silent from Kiku's answers. Kiku sat at the end thinking over the earlier events of the day and wondering if perhaps he could have broken it to the family softer, but in his defense he had been fighting nonstop for who knows how long. The fighting had been going on for so long that time had been ignored in favor of surviving and seeing another day.

…

EARLIER…

"So talk. Where is my brother?" Matthew stood tall staring Kiku in the eyes. Kiku's shoulders relaxed and began. "First, how old was Alfred when he ran away?" Arthur's face shifted into outrage, "What does that have to do with where my son is?!" Kiku narrowed his eyes at him, "Quite a bit in fact." Francis cut in before his husband could start screaming, "He was ten. Why?"

Kiku closed his eyes trying to hid his disappointment and whispered softly to himself, "No...he was eleven...I remember him telling me." Opening his eyes once again Kiku continued on, "As I am sure you know Alfred-kun is a digidestined of the new era," he pulled out a small square pad with a large circle at the end looped in a chain to carry it, "proved by the fact that his digivice is exactly as this." Arthur tapped his foot impatient to know where Alfred was while the other two wondered why Kiku was telling them this. "Excuse me, Honda," Matthew cut in, "what is the point of telling us this?" Kiku sighed and mumbled, "Now I see where Alfred-kun got his impatience from…"

Matthew hearing what Kiku had mumbled apologized, "Sorry, it's just that...he's been gone for seven years you know? We're just worried and want to know where he is and if he's okay." Kiku breathed in softly and shook his head lightly, "No, it's perfectly fine. I suppose I should have known, but still it's not as easy to say as I hoped it would be." Arthur's patience had finally run out, "Just spit it out! Where the bloody hell is my son?!" Arthur reached out grabbing Kiku by the collar of his shirt which in return caused Kiku's reaction.

Grabbing Arthur's wrist in one hand and using the other to elbow him in the gut Kiku kicked Arthur off his feet and slammed him down knocking the wind out of the older man. Francis rushed over to his husband's side while Hideki rushed in front of Matthew. Ryudramon who had been thrown out of Kiku's arms stood tall in front of his partner baring his claws out in front of them. Kiku's presence had turned sharp and cold like a knife waiting for the right moment to strike. "I see that patience is not your strongsuit so perhaps it would've been easier to tell you bluntly. We do not know where Alfred-kun is at the moment other than the fact that he is somewhere in the Digital world. I was sent to tell you this and ask for assistance in finding him seeing as all our more experienced digidestined are at the front fighting back against the enemy."

He paused in his speech glaring icily towards Matthew, "I was also told that if you refused to come I was allowed to use force to bring you. Although, if I am to be honest with you I was also against this idea, but orders are orders and you have until six to decide whether you will come by choice or force."

…

PRESENT…

During this time when Kiku was reminiscing the Kirkland-Bonnefoy family sat together their minds running at a thousand miles per hour. Matthew's more so than his father's. 'Kiku said that they didn't know where Alfred was other than that he was somewhere in the digiworld. Why? What happened? He also hinted that there was a fight, but why would it need so many people and digimon fighting? What's going on in the Digital world?'

Matthew's violet eyes looked up from the smooth brown wood of the table and at the silent figure in front of him. "Honda," he called out softly still cautious of the events from earlier. Kiku looked up, "Yes, is something wrong?" Matthew shook his head a small smile on lips, "I was wondering, exactly what is going on in the digital world?" Kiku's expression pinched and he sighed. 'I suppose after that outburst there's really no point in lying.'

"Well-" Beep! Beep! Beep! "Ace of Joker-Hearts Kiku Honda report back to base. Your assistance is required on the field." Kiku looked conflicted, on one hand he had his mission to bring Alfred's family to the digiworld and explain the situation to them, but on the other hand his comrades also needed him. Beep! Beep! "Kiku," Kiku looked up thoughtful expression replaced with mild surprise at the voice of his boss, "Bring the family with you. That is an order. I will meet you at the Hearts gate."

Kiku scowled, 'Of course he would do this to me. Why didn't I move to the next division over again?' Beep! Beep! "Kiku I'll add in a raise to you check and ask Victor cook you whatever dish you want." Kiku sighed, 'That's why….he is always bribing me.' Kiku sighed once again before touching a certain app on his digivice causing it to glow pink, "Hai," he moved in between the family who still sat confused about what was going on for the most part. "Honda Kiku, Ace of the Joker-hearts requesting use of teleporter."

The response was instant, "Request cleared. Honda Kiku, Kirkland-Bonnefoy Arthur, Francis, and Matthew please enjoy and have a safe trip." The room lit up in a beautiful soft shade of pink almost reminiscent of sakuras…

ELSEWHERE:

"The Ace of Jokers-hearts has returned sire, along with some company. What do you wish us to do?" The scaly voice of a Diaboramon asked the shadow figure who swished his wine cup back and forth. "Nothing, at least not yet. For now wait and watch their movements, then strike them down."

The Diaboramon bowed its head to him and watched as their lord stood up and walked away.

…

"It seems that your leader is very determined in finding you and bringing you back," he grinned showing his four sharp canine teeth, "but what he doesn't know is that I wanted this." He sighed lovingly and caressed the bright white stone, "Just wait, soon- very soon- I will rid you of the ones who hurt you, and then," he smiled lust in his eyes, "you and I can be together forever Alfred!"

Lying asleep floating peacefully inside the crystal was Alfred F. Jones formerly known as Alfred Kirkland-Bonnefoy. A bright blue crest hovering before his heart alongside another matching red colored crest which flickered between a beautiful bright crimson and a twisted shade of black and red.
