________________________________________________________________________

In the digiworld, it was a bright sunny day. In the real world it was not quite the same, rain and freezing cold winds wracked Japan, the residents knew that it was almost spring, that this would be ending soon.

For a group of special teenagers, they basked in the sun. Long pants and coats had disappeared to shorts and t-shirts.

Mimi was sitting on the warm grass, knowing in the back of her mind that this would not last forever. The feeling of warm sun on bare skin was a wonderful indescribable feeling, she could feel her skin redden, she wanted to hit herself for not bringing suntan lotion with her, she carried everything else in her bag, medical kit (for Jyou incase he needs to patch anyone up), tools, food, even though she knows that she has a way to go home now, she was still leery of being here without provisions. A shadow crossed over her strawberry blonde hair, she looked up seeing Jyou standing there, smiling down at her, she leaned back against his legs as a backrest, and returned the smile up to him. His long hair gleaming in her sunlight, the crush he had on her during their first stay here returned to her mind, that dorky long legged kid had disappeared and what stood over her was her fiancée. With that thought in her mind, she lowered her hands to her swelling stomach, her smile grew larger, her child with her future husband, for the first time in years she was happy...

Taichi had his arm wrapped around Sora, allowing her to lay back on his chest. Since she was going through her third month of pregnancy she was getting crabby, most times not allowing him to touch her, today was different. She was in a better mood thank god. He lowered his head and kissed her neck, he knew that she loved him, so this mood he could deal with. Well at least that's what he thinks anyway...

The newly rejuvenated Gennai studied Takeru and Daisuke's swords. His hands rubbed over the crests that were embedded in the hilts.

"Well the are definitely manifestations of your powers. The crests in the hilts have proven that"

"That is what I was beginning to believe myself Gennai" Koushiro piped up
Gennai turned, his blue eyes twinkling as he looked at Takeru

"It is good to see that you have returned to up T.K.," he said with a smile creeping on his face

Takeru turned away

"I still feel bad about Michael"

Yamato walked up behind his little brother; he placed his hand on his shoulder

"Don't be, it wasn't you," he said, trying to reassure his little brother

"Yeah Takeru, it was that bastard Ken, how could he do something like that"

Gennai spun around to stare at Daisuke, his face stern looking

"With both light you must have dark, Daisuke. Ken used the reaction of Takeru's jealousy and turned it to work for him." His face turned cheery again "Don't worry about it, Takeru's strength is what stopped him, his hope"

Takeru blushed, he caught Hikari's eyes, and he still cannot look into her eyes without wanting to cry. He would have to make it up to her, if only she would talk to him. In his heart of hearts he knew that he still loved her, and he should have known not to give in at the first time jealousy reared its ugly head.

"Back to the reason for your trip. It seems that when you all were chosen, your powers did not just cease with allowing your partners to evolve. In Takeru and Daisuke's case, their new powers came to turn when they were protecting someone they loved." Gennai said as he handed the weapons back to their owners

"So what is that saying about the rest of us?" Jyou asked, his eyes wide, as a doctor in training he didn't like any kind of weapon

Gennai shrugged

"Anything is possible here, you all know that"

"What about the wings?" Takeru asked

"Ahh the wings you manifested, I would like to see them. Can you bring them back?" Gennai asked, his eyes waited in anticipation

They all watched Takeru take a step back. He gritted his teeth as a warm feeling rushed over his back. Suddenly two light wings sprouted out his back, they sweeped along the grass, causing dust to fly over Mimi's legs

"Takeru!!" Mimi cried

"I'm sorry Mimi" Takeru said blushing slightly

The wings settled down on his back and disappeared

The destines looked around stunned

Hikari turned away, Takeru was still her angel of her heart, but she had seen a side of him that she never thought he was capable of. But Michael, she didn't know what it was about him, there was something there that Takeru didn't have. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she knew it was there

"That was amazing" Yamato said after a while

"Yes it was" Gennai said

Daisuke suddenly spoke up

"We have to find Ken and get Miyako back"

Daisuke held his sword in his hand; his thumb grazed the activation button.

"That's a good point Gennai, is he here in the digiworld?" Koushiro asked

"Oh he's been here for a while now, him and his demons running digimon out of their homes" Gennai answered

Daisuke's gritted his teeth

"Where?"

"Now, now Daisuke you can't run into there half cocked, you all need to think of a plan" Gennai said, his face masked in concern

Taichi sighed

"Well I guess leaving Sora and Mimi here is out of the question now. If he wants our children, leaving them here would be the worst possible plan"

"That was never the plan Taichi" Sora said quickly, her eyes locked into a stare with his

"I couldn't stay here either" Mimi said quietly "I love it here, but knowing Jyou was out there fighting, I couldn't do it"

Jyou blushed slightly

"If I were you, I would send the girls some place secret, don't even tell me or anyone else about where they are" Gennai said, his hand resting on his chin "Then the boys can plan"

"What about Michael?" Takeru asked

"Well Michael is a destine as well, he has also been hurt by Ken. He may be needed" Gennai answered

"Well then I say we stop gabbin and get a plan together. I want Miyako back" Daisuke said as he turned and walked to the TV screen, holding his D-3 up to it and sending himself back to the real world

Gennai smiled

"It is hard to lose the one you love. I suggest you follow and make a plan. If you need me, you know where I'll be" Gennai said, disappearing into a burst of rainbow colored light

Jyou helped Mimi to her feet, she dusted herself off. Jyou helped her to the screen, and soon they were transported. Taichi and Sora followed suit, Koushiro and Yamato was next. Leaving only Hikari and Takeru behind...

Hikari stood on the grassy hill and watched the others leave them behind, a war wind swept across the plain. She ran a hand through her brown hair as she watched Takeru.

For a while neither of them said anything. Takeru had a look n his face, as if he was trying to say something, but it wouldn't come off his tongue correctly

"Hikari, I..."

Hikari held up her hand, signaling for him to stop

"Please Takeru stop. I know that it wasn't you, I just...don't know"

Tears formed in the corners they started to flow freely down her face. Takeru walked carefully towards her. She rushed into Takeru's arms, resting her head on his chest, the beating of his heart started to calm her slowly. Takeru hands rubbed her back softly, letting his hands run down her spine, sending shivers through her body.

"Shh. It is over and done with, and no matter how I try I will never be able to apologize to you about what I have done. I never wanted to hurt you or Michael for that matter. To be honest, I was jealous over his calm way he had with you. It took me years to get enough courage to ask you out. When I did, I felt like everything was right with the world. When Ken approached me, it was like all parts of me that was rational shut down. Ken used that against me, and now look at me. I have seen the dark side, and it is terrible thing. When he challenged me with the thought of hurting you, I came back into the light, I evolved. There was no way in hell I was going to let him hurt you"

He pulled Hikari back to let her look him in the eye, to let her know that he was being sincere

"I love you Hikari, that will never change"

Hikari gulped, she smiled happily up at him, she ran a hand through his hair, pulling his head down, kissing him slowly for a minute, she pulled away from his lips, staring at his blue eyes.

"I love you too"

He smiled and lowered his head back down, kissing her again

Elsewhere...

Ken stood at his scrying glass, watching the tender scene

"Aww isn't that sweet?" He cackled

Ken spun around, his cloak flowed around behind him as he walked, his footsteps echoed on the walls of the castle. He walked to a door; he swung it open in one swift movement. He was in the prisoner cells.

Ken looked at his only prisoner; Miyako was chained to a block wall. Her face was dirty; her hair in disarray, a look of pain and fatigue was read in her eyes

"Ahh Miyako, are you enjoying your stay here?"

Miyako didn't say anything, she hadn't been here less than a day now, her parents would be returning soon, and if she wasn't anywhere around, she was going to be in big trouble

"Please Ken, let me go. I'll do anything you want me to" Miyako croaked, her voice horse from crying

Ken smiled evilly

"But we are past that now, aren't we?"

"Daisuke will come for me, he will"

"Daisuke, yes he will. I am counting on that," he answered

Ken walked up to Miyako; he traced a finger down her face, stopping right above her clavicle. He bent his head in and kissed her, shoving his tongue into her mouth, his hand moved to her breast, grasping it in his hand, kneading it forcefully. Miyako moaned in fear, her eyes wide. Ken stopped and pulled away, he stepped back and placed his hands behind his back.

"It seems that your friends have some new powers, ones that I have never seen or heard of. But don't worry, that will not save them or their children"

Miyako's eyes widen in fear

"Why do you want the children?"

"The master feels that the children of the destines will have the power to control both worlds. That is a power that only the master should have" Ken said, his dark eyes gleamed behind his dark sunglasses

"The master?" Miyako asked

"Demon" Ken answered as he watched Miyako's eyes widen in fear. He smiled evilly has given me this power, and I must serve him"

"Ken, you idiot. Demon will betray you, what he has given you can be taken away from you easily, and if he doesn't kill you, you will be like you were after we saved you from when you were the Kaiser. Don't you understand"?

"Shut up you stupid bitch!!" Ken roared, his face turning beet red "I do NOT have to listen to you about this. I will not hear anymore, your friends will come, and they will die" his hand went behind his bask, pulling out the dark sword, he held it out, extending it out toward her, the tip of her touching Miyako's throat

"And when they do...I will kill them"

Ken dropped the sword to his side; he spun on his heel and walked out of the door, slamming it behind him.

The click of the lock and the fading of the light were the last Miyako heard and saw. She was back in the quiet darkness, tears flowed down her face.

"Daisuke...Hurry"
________________________________________________________________________

Will Daisuke hurry? Will he wait for a plan or will he go on by himself and possibly get hurt? Will our noble writer stop smoking so much and get back on caffeine? Probably not, not going through that shit again. Anyway next week is spring break so there should be at least two new chapters up next week.

Anyway have fun and enjoy St. Patrick's Day-drink a beer for me

I remain
