Teena: Wai! Done! ...And they STILL haven't started the serious talk yet.

Yamato: Eh, we'll get to it.

Taichi: After we eat.

Teena/Ken: *sigh, sweatdrop*

Teena: ANYWAY... There's a little background on Elecmon here, for all
you people who seem to love him to death.



Princeling
Part 11



"Elecmon!" Daisuke yelled as he hopped down from the Airdramon and strode
towards the door. "ELECMON!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Elecmon called back as he came in. "You bellowed,
O Mighty Kaizer?"

"Don't fucking CALL me that, Elecmon!" Daisuke snapped angrily. "We've got
guests, go down to the kitchens and get the Veggiemon to send up some
snacks."

"You brought them BACK with you?" Elecmon asked disbelievingly. "Would it
have killed you to send word ahead? The Veggiemon are working on dinner,
dinner for FIVE, not seven!"

"I have several hundred servants in this damned fortress, I'm sure food
for two guests will NOT be THAT difficult to handle! All you really have
to do is give a few orders and pull some digmon off other jobs!"

Ken came up behind Daisuke and laid his hands on the other boy's shoulders,
gently massaging. "Dai-chan, I know you're tense and nervous about this,
but you shouldn't take it out on Elecmon. Just relax, koi, everything
will work out."

Daisuke sighed and leaned back against Ken, letting his lover work out
the tension and knots in his shoulders. "I wasn't really ready for this,
Ken-chan. I knew I'd have to talk to them sooner or later, but I wasn't
expecting it to be this soon."

"You should've been," Yamato commented as he walked up with Taichi in
tow. "We made plans to come as soon as the kids told us what was going
on."

"I guess I just didn't think it through," Daisuke replied tiredly. Elecmon
stared up at the new arrivals thoughtfully.

"So... Ishida Yamato and Yagami Taichi?"

"That would be us," Taichi said, face slightly puzzled. He was considering
the normal eyes and apparently spiral-free limbs of the small digimon. Ken
glanced over and smiled.

"I had the same reaction the first time I met him. Elecmon doesn't have a
spiral, Taichi. Alot of the digimon here don't have them."

"Sometimes I'm tempted, with Elecmon, though," Daisuke mumbled, lifting
one hand to lay it on top of Ken's, lacing their fingers together.

"Liar," Elecmon huffed. "I'd be next to useless, spiralled. No guts and
no brains."

"Didn't I fix that side effect?" Daisuke asked, frowning. "I'm sure I got
rid of that."

"You fiddled with the programming? KEN'S programming?" Yamato asked, one
eyebrow lifted. Daisuke shrugged.

"They didn't work the way I wanted. Ken's spirals were intended to be
permanent, I didn't want that. I had to change some of the protocols, so
the digimon would be able to think and remember. I treat them well, they
develop loyalty, the spiral comes off."

"In other words, all those black dots on the revamped grid only represent
PART of your empire," Taichi mused thoughtfully. "Damn, Dai, how long
HAVE you been working on this?"

"Ummmm.... A little while before Paildramon?"

"Roughly a week before," Elecmon supplied helpfully. "Clearing all the
repair 'mon out of the base when it almost blew was sheer hell, by the
way."

"It's a good thing shoving Ken's crest into the generator worked, starting
a base from scratch would've been a major pain," Daisuke murmured.

"That long?" Yamato asked, staring. Daisuke nodded, squeezing Ken's hand
gently.

"Elecmon would know, he's been with me almost from the start. I found him,
he didn't have anything, anyone... He had been the caretaker for a Primary
Village, but it was totally destroyed by Kimeramon... Beyond repair..."

Guilt flashed across Ken's face, settling firmly in his eyes. Daisuke
turned to wrap one arm around his waist, the other hand gently lifting his
chin, letting Daisuke stare into the violet eyes.

"Not your fault, koi. Kimeramon was out of control, insane. He was chaos,
destruction, and mayhem given physical form, you couldn't have stopped his
rampage."

"I didn't try, Daisuke. I watched him kill and destroy, and I laughed. I
LAUGHED, while the monster I CREATED razed everything it encountered!"

"I really hate to do this, koi, but..." Daisuke trailed off as he stepped
back and raised his hand. Yamato caught his wrist gently.

"Allow me."

With that, Yamato hauled off and slapped Ken across the face, putting a
sudden end to the near-hysterics. "Get over it! Kimeramon is digidust,
you're not like that anymore, and you have now got a love half of Tokyo
would KILL for, it's so pure! God, you remind me of me back in the day,
when I was sulking and having fits over what a bad friend I was!"

"That would've been right after you went psycho and tried to beat me up
and delete Agumon, right?"

"Er... Yeah, Taichi," Yamato replied, faintly disconcerted at having his
rant interrupted.

"When you WHAT?!" Ken exclaimed, eyes wide in shock. Yamato went from
disconcerted to uncomfortable.

"It's in the past, and I learned a valuable lesson, so-"

"Yeah, he learned not to trust creepy gay trees that tell him to look in
lakes," Taichi interrupted.

"Creepy gay trees?" Ken asked, expression an interesting mix of amused
and bewildered. Daisuke nudged him gently.

"I've heard the story, it's weird, confusing, and royally fucked up. Trust
me, you don't wanna know."

"Half the Digiworld knows about that," Elecmon said thoughtfully. "Do you
have any idea how rare it is for things to get SO twisted up that the
Light has to take a hand personally?"

"Tai-chan and I were very good at twisting ourselves up back then," Yamato
muttered sullenly. "Could we please change the subject?"

"How good are you at twisting yourselves up now?" Daisuke asked with a
rather suggestive grin. Yamato turned a rather cold stare on him.

"I NEVER should've given you those manga."

"Too late now," Daisuke sing-songed, turning and strolling towards the
door, Ken immediately moving into place at his side. Taichi chuckled and
followed after them.

"Have to admit, Yama-koi, he had the best of teachers."

"What, has he been taking lessons from Akemi behind my back?"

Ahead of them, Daisuke shuddered. "GOD, no... No matter how much he may
have wanted to give them to me."

Ken frowned at the remark, and reached over to take Daisuke's arm in a
rather possessive gesture. Yamato and Taichi chuckled and exchanged glances,
silently agreeing on the absolute and utter kawaii-ness of new couples.
Elecmon was already long gone, hurrying ahead of the group to get things
set up. All four boys stopped as a loud yelp sounded from behind them.
They turned around to see Veemon and Wormmon in a tangle on the floor.

"Uh... What just happened?" Taichi asked, shooting Daisuke a questioning
look. Daisuke just shrugged as well as he could with Ken attached to his
arm.

"Don't look at me, ask them."

"Well, we saw Ken and Daisuke with their arms hooked like that, and it
looked kinda neat..." Veemon started. Wormmon continued.

"So I tried to take Vee-kun's arm, only I'm not made to stay upright
like that, so I lost my balance..."

"An' I tried to catch him," Veemon said, taking up the story again. "But
it was sorta too late, so I just wound up falling, too. So now me and
Worm-chan are kinda stuck, here, and could somebody please help us?"

Yamato turned to Taichi and mouthed 'Vee-kun? Worm-chan?'

Ken laughed as he let go of Daisuke and walked over to help untangle
the two digimon. "So... How have Agumon and Gabumon been acting towards
each other since you two got together?"

"We don't get many chances to see them together... Why?" Yamato asked,
eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Daisuke watched Ken help the two digimon,
eyes warm and loving, but he answered Yamato.

"Remember back when I was crushing on Hikari, for real? Remember how
Veemon acted towards Gatomon?"

"He was trying to impress her and get her attention, just like you with
'Kari. What does that have to do with... Oh. My. God," Taichi replied,
eyes widening as something went 'click' in his head. Yamato picked up,
staring at the two digimon.

"So you mean they're...? Well, I guess that makes sense, I just never
thought about it."

"Of course it makes sense," Ken replied softly, helping the finally
untangled Veemon and Wormmon to stand up. "Our digimon are part of us,
a little piece of our souls. They're naturally going to have similar
tastes."

Taichi groaned and lifted one hand to his own forehead, pretending to
check for a fever. "Not sick... This is really happening... Okay, would
everybody who expected to be having this conversation today please raise
their hands? Nobody? I didn't think so. Everybody who thinks this is
just really- mmmmph!"

After a few moments, Yamato pulled back and examined his flushed, dazed,
and above all, QUIET boyfriend. Turning around with a satisfied grin, he
shrugged. "Only way to shut him up when he starts babbling like that."

"I'll have to keep that in mind, in case the situation ever arises with
Dai-chan," Ken murmured, a tiny grin tugging at his mouth. "Could we go
now, though? Elecmon's probably wondering what's taking so long."

"He knows I get sidetracked," Daisuke said, turning and strolling towards
the door. The rest of the group followed, Taichi tagging behind Yamato
with a rather at-one-with-the-universe expression. Ken shot him a look
as he passed him, then glanced at Yamato.

"How long is he going to be like that?"

"Another minute or two, I might've overdone it a bit," Yamato replied
offhandedly. Taichi shook his head and sped up a little, falling in
next to his boyfriend.

"No, I'm okay now. No longer babbling, no longer spaced out. Can we
hurry a little? I'm hungry."

The chorus of agreement from the digimon and Daisuke made Ken and
Yamato exchange resigned stares. Ken sighed.

"Come on, then, the dining room is this way..."


tbc...


Teena: *stares up at the fic accusingly* Where the hell did Akemi and
his mini-thing for Daisuke come from?

Yamato: *semi-helpfully* Empress of the Eclipse, remember?

Teena: That's not what I mean... I only intended to reference Istu, so
you could give Taichi a scare, none of the other band members were meant
to come into it!

Taichi: ...Maybe this is one of those envy things. Remember how Gendo
was about you wanting to use Istu? He got really snarky about it.

Teena: ...Snarky? Taichi, are you feeling okay? Never mind, just go away.
*blinks at Eclipse* Are you sure you remembered to lock your closet?

Ken: I want to know where the sudden VeeWorm came from.

Teena: Haven't got a clue, sorry.
