Hello all. Sorry for the delay in updating. Thank you to Blue-Azul-Acero for the review. I am glad to see my story is still being read. Well on with the next chapter.

I do not own Digimon.

Chapter 20: Voices

When Ken and Yolei got back to the apartment a small light was left on a small end table. Ken figured his parents would be in bed by the time they came home. He helped Yolei with her coat and they both took their shoes off. Yolei quietly went to Ken's room and grabbed her overnight bag and went into the bathroom to change. Ken made sure the door was locked and turned the light off before heading to his room. He saw that his mother had put up an air mattress in his room.

"I can take the air mattress if you want."

Ken turned to her. He noticed that she was wearing the jersey that she wore the last time she was here. "No it is alright. I want you to be comfortable. You can just take the bed."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I am, I insist."

"Alright."

Ken then grabbed his sleeping clothes and went to the bathroom. Yolei then walked up to Pururumon and Minomon who were fast asleep. Yolei got into bed and held Pururumon to her. A few minutes later Ken walked in and closed the door. He turned off the light and laid down on the air mattress. Yolei brought her hand down which Ken held as they both drifted off to sleep.

Standing on the roof of the adjacent building someone was watching the Ichijouji apartment building. He knew the time was coming and he knew he had to have her by his side. As he was was standing there he heard someone walk up to him. He never moved or turned to look to see who had joined him. He really didn't care.

"Boss are you sure about this?"

"Of course I am. I need her. She is the key."

"But boss. You have us. We can always help you."

"Nonsense. You are just weak beings that I created. You are no help to me. You are only to weaken the Digital World so I can be the strongest to take it. But even you and your partner can't seem to do that right. The only thing that seems to be doing that is BlackWarGreymon and he doesn't even realize he is doing it."

"Boss we..."

"I don't want to hear your excuses! Now go I have someone to talk to."

He closed his eyes and listened as the other left. He heard the door to the roof open and close. He smiled as he tried to see if he could get through to her in her sleep. "Miyako."

Yolei was dreaming she was in the Digital World. She was alone and she knew she probably shouldn't have been. Yolei was walking in a forest with no real destination. "Miyako." She heard it again. It was her name from the past. She started to walk towards where she heard the voice. Before she knew it she was standing in front of a cave. She didn't like the energy that was coming from the cave so she didn't enter it.

"Miyako."

"Who are you?"

"I am someone who needs your help Miyako."

"What kind of help?"

"Help with the Digital World."

"Maybe you should ask Gennai. He is still the protector, not me."

"He doesn't have the power that you have. He may be the protector of the Digital World but you are a part of it. You were born of the Digital World."

"I don't think I can trust you."

"Why do you say that? Don't you want to help the Digital World?"

"Yes but I feel your energy and it isn't good at all. I want nothing to do with helping you."

"You will help me Miyako. You and I can have the Digital World together."

"No. You will not have any part of the Digital World and we will stop you."

"Ha you have such faith in the Digidestined. But that dear Miyako is where you are wrong."

"No. You are wrong!"

Yolei saw a black smoke coming out of the cave. She turned and started to run away. It seemed that no matter how hard she ran the smoke was catching up to her. As she was running a hand came out of the smoke and grabbed her. She screamed as loud as she could which also happened in reality.

Ken shot up immediately when he heard the scream. He looked over to the bed and Yolei was still screaming. He got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yolei. Yolei wake up!"

"No I won't help you. Leave me alone."

"Yolei it's me, Ken. You need to wake up."

Yolei's eyes opened and jumped up and Ken caught her in a hug. She was trembling and disoriented. Yolei finally recognized her surroundings and that Ken was holding her. Before she knew it she was crying.

"Hey it's okay. I'm here."

"Ken honey is everything okay in there?"

"Yeah mom. Yolei had a bad dream."

"Oh my is she okay? Does she want some tea?"

"Do you want some tea?"

Yolei just shook her head no. She just couldn't find her voice to respond. "No mom she doesn't want anything."

"Okay honey. If she needs anything let me know."

"Thanks mom."

Ken just sat there and rubbed her back trying to calm her down. Pururumon had crawled into her lap. He could somehow feel that something wasn't right. Minomon was looking out the balcony door window and could have sworn he saw someone standing on the roof next door. But when he blinked they were gone. 'Must still be trying to wake up. My eyes are playing tricks on me.'

Yolei had finally calmed down. She was starting to feel tired again but she was afraid to go to sleep. She really didn't want to go back to that dream. She pulled back from Ken and he then brought a hand up to dry her eyes. She brought her hand up to Ken's hand on her cheek. She looked in his eyes and without saying any words he knew that she was asking. He just nodded his head. Yolei laid back down and was laying on her right side. Ken got comfortable behind her and put his arm around her waist. He found her hand and held it. Pururumon and Minomon both got comfortable on the bed. Minomon wanted to tell them about he saw but decided it could wait until the morning.

In Odaiba at the same time Yolei had woken up from her dream Kari did the same. She sat up quickly making Salamon fall off the bed. Tai who usually sleeps through anything heard Salamon hit the floor.

"Kari are you okay?"

"Salamon I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"I am fine Kari," Salamon said getting back into the bed. "But are you okay?"

Before Kari could answer she felt the bunkbed move and Tai started climbing down the ladder. "Kari?"

"I am okay Tai."

"Are you sure. You are sweating."

"I can't explain why I woke up so startled. I just...Yolei."

"Yolei? What about Yolei?"

"I think it has something to do with Yolei."

"Are you sure Kari?

"Not 100% sure Salamon but I am 99% sure."

"Kari that doesn't make sense that you would wake up with something dealing with Yolei."

"Tai I already said I can't explain it. But please don't treat me like I am crazy."

"Well I already know you are crazy Kari."

"Shut up Tai."

"Haha alright, alright. Look try to get back to sleep Kari. We will try to figure it out in the morning okay."

"Okay. Thanks Tai."

"No problem. That is what big brothers are for." Tai picked Salamon off the floor and but her back in with Kari before climbing back up the ladder.

"Kari what if it is something to do with Yolei?"

"We will figure it out and stop it. Just like we always do Salamon."

"You're right Kari."

Kari closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Salamon looked at Kari as she drifted off to sleep. Salamon was worried. She only knew of one who had the power to invade someone's mind and dreams but he was long gone. She just hopes that it is nothing that Kari and the rest of the Digidestined will have to deal with.

Okay short chapter I know and I am sorry. But this is kind of an opening. And no I have not forgotten about BlackWarGreymon. He will be back in the next chapter I promise. Alright as always please review.
