The muses are being kind to me right now. ^_^ After about two weeks of stalling, they have actually given me ideas on how to finish this fic. Oh, but don't worry, this isn't the last chapter yet...
Digimon Adventure and its characters belong to Toei, Bandai, and a bunch of other companies that I am too lazy to bother and look up. By suing me, you gain nothing, but my tuition bills for the next semester and maybe that car loan if I ever do *get* that car... I, will, however fight you tooth and nail for my vast Japanese Anime/Manga/CD collection.
What I meant about that whole Koushiro/Computer program comment was that I know that Koushiro figures out later in the anime that, with Miyako's help, they can access the Gate from any computer with the D-3. Well, I love Daisuke to death (in fact he's tried for 1st place as my favorite character, sharing the spot with Ken), but I doubt that he would sit there long enough to figure that out; so I had Koushiro come over and help him. ^_^
Then again, the whole thing could be magic. *shrugs* Who knows? The Digital World works in mysterious ways...
Awakened Memories
By: Robin Terrae
Chapter 6: Confrontation; Part I
The Digital World was quiet when Daisuke, V-Mon, and Wormmon arrived via the Digital Gate. Casting his eyes on the landscape before him, Daisuke glanced around him, taking the sight of the cavern around him.
"Where are we?" He whispered, trying to see where Ken could have hidden himself.
Both the Digimon shivered, and Wormmon glanced around himself warily. "I know this place..." he said softly.
Both Daisuke and V-Mon glanced at the Viral Digimon. "You do?" Daisuke asked.
V-Mon closed his eyes, trying to find what Wormmon already knew, concentrating on his senses. Ears and nose alert, he picked up on smells that were forever ingrained into his memory. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, realizing what Wormmon was talking about. "This is where we fought the final battle with Belial Vamdemon." Wormmon nodded his agreement.
"Where we fought...?" Daisuke trailed off, confused, "But why would he come back here...?"
Wormmon shook his head sadly, "I don't know..."
Determined, Daisuke clenched his fists by his side. "Let's go find him." He said, reaching into his coat pocket and grabbing his blue D-3. Glancing at the screen he held it up, pressing a few buttons and then waiting for it to detect Ken. After a few moments, a dot lit up in on the screen and Daisuke started walking in the direction the D-3 indicated.
V-Mon and Wormmon shared concerned glances, but followed silently.

Ken trudged over the terrain, not exactly sure where he was going. He just let his feet do the thinking for him. He completely and totally ignored his surroundings; instead he was kept company by his thoughts.
'I can't believe that I punched Daisuke!' he thought to himself. 'What is happening to me!'
Suddenly, the wind began to circle him, causing Ken's hair to blow into his face and eyes. Bring his hands up to push it out of the way; he suddenly felt the little hairs on the back of his neck rise. Glancing around himself warily, he looked for anything that could potently be a threat.
Just because the Chosen Children had defeated Belial Vamdemon, you didn't think that all threats were eliminated from the Digital World, did you? Yeah, right.
Not seeing anything around him, Ken glanced up the blue, Digital sky, when he saw a flock of butterflies overhead. Biting back the fear that rose in his throat, Ken watched them, as they got closer.
He was Ichijouji Ken.
And he refused to be frightened by butterflies.
Too bad that part of his mind wasn't listening to the rest of his body.
He retreated a step as the butterflies hovered in the air in front of him, swallowing hard. 'I will not be afraid. I will not be afraid...'
"I will not be afraid..." the last came out a mere whisper, as he stared at the glowing butterflies in front of him.
"Afraid of what?" a voice asked him, and he spun, glancing around in confusion.
"Who's there?" He asked, still glancing around. "Show yourself."
"Why, young Ichijouji, I am right in front of you." The voice answered, bemused.
"Right in front of me...? But the only thing in front of me is... the...." Ken's face paled far more than usual, his blue-violet eyes going wide. Understanding, laced with fear, swam in their endless depths. "... butterflies... Oikawa..." Ken breathed out in a whisper, backing up another step.
The butterflies merged, glowing with a bright white light, causing Ken to shut his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, the bright light was gone, and Oikawa was standing there instead.
Ken wondered how this could be happening, when he noticed something about the figure standing in front of him. If one looked to hard they could see straight through Oikawa. Sucking a breath, Ken tried to tell himself that Oikawa was still dead, but the rational part of his mind was drowned out by the one voice screaming in the deep recesses of his mind.
The voice of a scared eleven-year-old boy, pleading for his tormenter to leave him alone.
****
Daisuke had been walking in silence, and that worried his Digimon partner. Every once in a while the human boy would hold up his D-3, check and make sure that they were heading in the right direction, and then start walking again.
V-Mon wasn't used to a non-vocal partner. He liked to talk and so did Daisuke. And although Daisuke had used to hide the hurt and pain that the others' remarks used to cause, he never did so to his partner. V-Mon could read Daisuke like an open book. That was one of the reasons, he supposed, that he had be trapped under the Digimental of Courage, and had waited until Daisuke had come along to lift it. Both Chosen Digimon and their Chosen Child were alike and each other's foil.
But the book on Motomiya Daisuke was shut now, and V-Mon couldn't seem to find the key to get it to open back up again.
V-Mon glanced sideways at Wormmon, hoping that the other Digimon could maybe help him with this new and distant Daisuke, and was met by blue eyes staring back. The Viral Digimon seemed to know what he was asking and simply shook his head.
"Humans are too different." V-Mon remembered hearing Wormmon say to him at one point. "Each one has a different way of reacting to things and different buttons for those reactions. Any advice that I can give you from my experiences with Ken is not guaranteed to work..."
V-Mon shook his head. 'Why do humans have to be so difficult?' he wondered mentally as he watched Daisuke check his D-3 again.
He watched as Daisuke smiled a little, and smiled himself. If Daisuke was smiling, then they had to be somewhere near Ken. Then he could sit, find something to eat and then... He glanced over at Wormmon again, and noticed the uneasiness floating in the bug's eyes. He opened his mouth to ask Wormmon about it, when Daisuke started walking again. Catching up to his human partner, he looked back at Wormmon again, and instead of seeing the uneasiness, he saw the fierce determination that every Chosen Digimon gets when they are protecting their partners.
Something was coming.
He could feel it.
And it frightened him.
TBC...
Wormmon is a bright little bug, isn't he? *smiles* Well, after all that time with Ken, I'd like to think that something must have rubbed off onto the cutie. And as for V-Mon, well, he's best friends with Wormmon, and I'd like to think that they gossip... about their partners, if nothing else. ^_^
