The Dark Ocean


ELP: Okay, cruddy name, but deal with it. I Don't own digimon, and neither does my friend Sammy.


Sammy: YEAH! So don't sue. Now, if you do not like Kenari, don't read this fic. Okay, so no flames about that.


ELP: Yeah.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ken and the DD stood at the edge of a dark forest. Cody frowned.


" Why does it always have to be a dark forest? Why can't it ever be a nice sunny lake, or something?" Cody asked no one. Ken sighed and examined the area. Great, he thought. It was dark, murky, and his 3 friends were in an argument, or at least they were really mad at each other. Hikari was really sick of Takeru and Daisuke fighting over her, and was obviously holding the urge to punch them both in the face and yell at them. Miyako walked over with Hikari, away from Takeru and Daisuke. Hikari sighed.


" Why this, why now?" She asked Miyako. Miyako shook her head.


" Because they both have really thick heads." Miyako answered. The corners of Ken's mouth twitched, but that was it. He sighed and groaned, putting a hand on the side of his temple. He rubbed irritably, hating the serious migraine coming on from listening to his two friends yell and argue with each other. It got worse as the fight progressed. Hikari stared at Ken for a moment. She turned around like Miyako and Cody did to see. Ken didn't bother.


" No, Takeru, she's mine!" Daisuke growled in Takeru's face. Takeru got angrier.


" She's not an item of possession, she's a human girl, not yours!" He yelled back. Ken's migraine was killing him. If he didn't do something, his head felt like it would bust open. It got worse, and worse, the fight and the migraine. Ken couldn't take it. He whirled around and yelled at the same time as Hikari did,


"WILL YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING!!??!!!!!"Hikari and Ken yelled. The boys silenced as they heard the two yells of complete anger. Ken's face was pretty angry, but he was trying to keep it down. Hikari was demonic. They had quite a reason to silence, and be afraid. Miyako leaned over to Cody.


" Be afraid, be very afraid." Cody nodded, freaked out a bit at Hikari more then Ken. Ken staggered a bit, before standing straight again. Yelling at them only made it worse, and his head couldn't take much more. Then he would collapse, worry his family and friends, and probable get shoved in a psycho ward. He sighed.


" Guys, let's just stop fighting. There's really no reason for it, and I think we should try to hide and sneak around, and not alert Aruikennimon, or any henchmen she's got." Ken made an excuse, and it worked. The boys stopped fighting, and they got moving.
Once in the forest, it was hard to see, and the fact that they were lost was not helping. And then it started again.
"Daisuke, I told you we should have gone right!" Takeru yelled angrily. Daisuke snorted.
" Well, even if you did, we'd still be lost!" He yelled back. In a few moments of yelling, they were at each others throats over Hikari. Ken covered both ears, and started to shake in anger. They were going to end up making him collapse, maybe even scream in pain. With all the power he could muster, he whirled around and yelled at the top of his lungs.
" WILL YOU ALL JUST STOP FIGHTING!!!!!!!!???!" Everyone stared at the angry boy. Ken was panting in pain, and he was red from yelling. His migraine was going away, and he was calming down. Daisuke and Takeru blinked. They let go of each others shirts, witch had been choking each other out. Hikari raised an eyebrow, silently thanking him, and making a reminder to thank Ken. Miyako snickered under her hand at the two boys expressions. Both were shocked, confused, and really scared. Ken stopped panting, regained his normal color, and sighed sadly.


" Sorry, I shouldn't have yelled. Sorry, but please would you stop fighting. I'm getting sick of-AAAHH!!!!!!" Ken couldn't finish, because something stabbed into his chest at high speeds. He looked down, and saw that an arrow had just been shot into his chest. It was all black, and had a smell to it. Blood started flowing from the wound, dying his shirt red, and his T-shirt underneath red, as well. Hikari screamed a bit as an arrow just like it plunged into her arm, like a needle. Ken felt woozy, and everything was all groggy and unfocused. Ken collapsed, not from pain, but from a drug of some sort. Hikari collapsed also, the drug taking effect. Everything was black for them. The DD watched them blink in an out of the forest. They all of a sudden disappear all together. The DD ran out of the forest with their digimon, plus Wormmon and Gatomon.


Hikari slowly awoke in a cave, by a burning fire. She got up, and found a grey piece of fabric on her arm as a bandage. Hikari looked around, and spotted an arrow, with a bit of blood on it. It was the one that was in her arm before. She looked deeper into the cave, and found a figure crouching against the wall. It was Ken. His back was against the wall, and his normal shirt was off, letting a white T-shirt show. It was covered in blood. Hikari looked at her wound, and then at Ken's laid out shirt. A chunk from his sleeve was missing. In fact, the whole sleeve below the shoulder was gone, used as a bandage for her. She smiled. The smile faded as she walked closer. Ken's head was pressed against the wall, and he was trying to pull the arrow from his chest, without taking his shirt off. It was also deeper then her wound had been, so it was harder to pull out. The arrow was also in a bad angle, and Ken couldn't get it out without help. Plus, he was weak from the drug that still had to wear off. Hikari walked over to him. Ken looked up, startled. She bent down beside him, and stared him in the face.


" So, why?" She asked suddenly. Ken grunted as he tried again at the arrow, but it wouldn't budge. The drug was still running out of the arrow into him, but not as strong as it was before, and couldn't knock him out again. He looked her straight in the eye.


" Why what?" He asked. Hikari smiled.


" Why did you yell at Takeru and Daisuke? I mean, you never usually. And thank you for yelling. I'm really getting sick of them on my tail all the time. I only like them as friends, and they think every time I smile at them, it's a hint. God, you'd think that they'd get it through their thick heads.." Ken smiled. The he sighed.


" Well, actually, I yelled because, 1) I am getting sick of them fighting, 2) I was getting a really bad migraine, and 3) I was having a bad day already." Ken counted on his fingers as he spoke, ticking off the reasons. Hikari laughed. Ken smiled a little at her.


" So, do you need any help, Ken?" Hikari asked, staring at the arrow, and how he kept pulling at it, trying to get it to come out. He sighed.


" Um, sure, Hikari, if you'd like." Hikari laughed. He raised an eyebrow.


" Ken, for you, just call me Kari. I only give my nickname to my really good friends, so just call me that. Anyway, let me have a look. And I can't do that through your shirt, Ken." Ken went red in the face, causing Kari to giggle uncontrollably. Ken sighed, and slowly pried off the shirt, pulling the arrow through the hole. Kari just stared a while. Ken was really built good. For a guy his size, this was surprising. Kari could actually see clearly where his muscles were. Ken had really strong stomach muscles, and he was flat. The arrow was dug deep into his right pectoral. Ken looked away from her.


" Okay, let's get that arrow out." Kari said as she closed her hands around the arrow, and pulled. Ken's hands clenched into fists. It was painful, getting an arrow ripped out of you. After 3 tries, Kari flew back with the arrow in hand. Ken was relived that it was gone. He put a hand on the bleeding wound, and was just about to put his shirt back on, when Kari came over and grabbed his hand, land lifted it from the wound.

Ken stared as she used his old shirt, and cleaned the wound. It was deep. Kari tore a sleeve off of his grey shirt, and wrapped it around his right shoulder, right around the armpit and where the neck muscles started. From there, she tore a strip of his grey shirt, and attached it with a knot to the original strip, and carried it left, over the wound, and attached it to his belt. Then Kari tore another strip, and attached that to the last strip, and then brought it around his waist, attaching it around his right side to the original. The wound was sealed. Ken could move his arm, and he was half covered, at least. Kari smiled and nodded. Ken dove for his white shirt, and put it on like lightning. It still had a lot of blood on it, but he was covered. Kari laughed. They walked back to the fire in the cave. They sat down side by side. Ken sighed, and looked at Kari.


" Kari, we're back in the Dark Ocean. Somehow, those arrows brought us here. And now I don't know how to get back. And we're alone. I'm sorry." Kari sighed, and looked back up at Ken, who had his head lowered. She put a hand on his shoulder.


" Ken, it's bad that we're in the Dark Ocean, but you don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault." Ken looked up a bit at Kari. Her eyes were a little watery, but she was smiling. He smiled back, his eyes a little wet, too. She shivered, and moved closer to him. Ken was stunned, but then figured it was survival. He wrapped a wary arm around her, trying to get her to warm up. For some reason he couldn't figure out, Kari rested her head against his chest, and wrapped her long arms around his waist and back. He had no idea what was going on.

He only did what he thought was right: He very warily put a hand on her hand, trying not to be invading. Kari looked up at him, and gave him the weirdest and last thing he thought he would ever get from anyone that knew his past and him: She leaned up, and planted a small kiss on his lips. Then she curled up in his arms, same position, and fell asleep. Ken was dumbstruck. He raised a shaky hand and touched the place she kissed him. He pinched himself, and found it was real. Ken sighed and put his hand back on hers, letting his head droop down above hers, and they fell asleep like that, not aware of what would happen the next day.
