Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Dark Ring ❯ Dark Ring #1 ( Chapter 1 )

The Dark Ring

"Master? Speak to me."

Wormmon crawled his way inside the main viewing room of his master, the Digimon Kaizer. He was really concerned about the Digimon Kaizer. He just sat there looking at the screens, which were right now, without an image of any kind being displayed.

"Master?" Wormmon began asking again as he got nearer. Something was clearly not right at all. Ken would have clearly yelled at him for ruining his concentration or something of the sort. But Ken just sat there. "K....Ken-chan...?" Wormmon timidly spoke with concern using the Kaizer's real name. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Leave me alone." was all that the Kaizer replied to Wormmon's concern. "I demand to be alone."

"But, sir."

"Just leave me alone, ALRIGHT!!" the Kaizer bellowed out to which Wormmon cringed in response. "Just...get out of here."

Wormmon looked at Ken through the corner of his eyes before crawling away. "What is the matter with Ken-chan?" he asked himself. "I have to find out. Because, even though he doesn't believe it I am his digimon."

The Kaizer sat there in the darkness in complete and total silence. His thoughts ran through all of the things that happened today including his recently failed plan.

"My plan was perfect," he angrily muttered to himself. "I distinctly laid it out and I concentrated on every little detail." He pounded his fist on the chair. "But, still all that happened was me made a complete fool again today." He rested his head on the palm of his hand as he tried to figure what to do to defeat his opponents. After a while, an evil smirk came across his face. "I think where I was going wrong." A gleam of light shimmered in his dark eyes. "I was always attacking those blasted kids as a group when in reality, I should go after individually." He rose from his seat and chuckled to himself. "All I need is the perfect bait to lure one of them out so that fool will be completely defenseless and then I'll strike." His evil laughter echoed throughout his base.

And the final score, Tamachi 8 and Shirozuku 0.

After the friendly handshakes of "Game well played" and "Nice game", the Tamachi soccer coach called his team over to him. Once they got there, he began his comments of congratulations.

"Come on in guys." the coach shouted out as his team ran up to him.

"I just have to say that I'm real proud of you guys in this soccer game today." he began as he scope his team of players grinning and high-fiving each other. "But, most importantly we have to once again thank Ken for a superb game." He motioned for Ken to come up to front in which Ken did as he was requested.

"You wanted to talk to me, coach." he said.

"Ken, drop the formalities." his coach responded trying to keep from grinning in delight. "You had another superb game with six goals. I knew I get a superb game from my star player."

Ken smiled and answered. "But, I have to say that I just my team and that's is all."

One of Ken's teammates, Hasha responded. "Gee, thanks. But, none of us are superstars like you."

The couch heartily laughed. "That is true." He looked at the stands and laughed a little more. "Well, it look like you guys have your adoring public to present yourself to, so that is all for now. See you at the next practice."

"Hey Ken."

Ken turned around and noticed Hasha and another boy Ryouga walking up to him. He stopped and allowed them to catch up to him.

"So Ken." Ryouga began. "Where are you heading off to?"

Hasha then added. "I know where Ryouga is going to. Over to those girls of course."

The two other boys laughed, while Ken just stood there. "What a bunch of idiots." he muttered to himself.

"Anyway," Hasha began again. "Where are you heading off to? Got some new commercial or telecast in which you will be a part of?" Hasha then playfully jabbed Ken in the ribs and Ken give a hint of a smile in return. He responded, "Well, actually you could say that I wouldn't mind conversing with fairer part of humankind."

Ryouga looked at Ken, obviously dumbfounded. "Huh?" he finally blurted out.

"Dude, Ken said he was going to talk to the girls." Hasha replied before looking at Ken. "Right?"

"Yes, I was."

Hasha smiled and Ryouga chuckled. "Alright then. Then let's go."

~*~

"Fools. The only reason I'm actually conversing with them is so I can get my target and she is here."

Miyako sat down at the bench fidgeting in her seat. True, the game was long over. However, there were a few people still there, like other players' parents or some girls. Her friends had left but she said she wanted to stay for a little while longer. "Today will be the day." she told herself. She told the others that she would get Ken's autograph. Although, Daisuke put up a fuss saying that he was just as good as that Ichiouji fellow.

Miyako sighed. "Whatever he says." She looked up and noticed three boys walking up to her and the others in the immediate vicinity. Her face immediately went bright red as she saw who was in that trio of guys. "There he is." she gleefully said to herself. "Its...Its..Ken."

~*~

"Ah, so she is here. This is so perfect."

~*~

"There they are." Hasha started. "So, Ryouga? Who are you going to picked? Huh?"

"Well, I am..."

"Will you excuse me for a moment?"

"Huh, what is it, Ken?"

"We were going to...how do you put it, "get a girl" right?"

"Well, uh yeah." Hasha responded.

"So, if you don't mind." Ken continued. "I am going to do something like that." Ken separated himself from the others and he made his way toward his target who didn't know what was going through Ken's true mind.

Miyako looked up and her breath started to come out in short gasps. "He's coming here." she said to herself with amazement. "Tell me I'm not dreaming." Chances were if Iori were around he would be already asking if Miyako wanted a pinch.

"Hello ladies." Ken began as the girls were there immediately stopped and looked at the dark-haired boy who was talking to them. Immediately, they were excited about who was talking to them.

"Once again, Ken takes the spotlight." Hasha whispered to Ryouga.

"What to wait for this to finish?" Ryouga asked and Hasha nodded.

Meanwhile, Ken looked at the girls and gave short, polite answer before staring at Miyako who just sat there looking at him. Ken placed a smile upon his face as he walked up to her. "Hello, I've noticed that you been at most of my team's games."

"Yes, I have. I am quite a fan of you." Miyako replied. "Oh by the way, my name is Miyako, Miyako Inoue. I have been to most of your games."

"Well then, I should reward you for being to every last of our games." Ken then took Miyako's hand and helped her on her feet. "What do you say we go out for something to eat tonight? You could say I'm asking you out on a date."

Miyako couldn't believe the words that she heard or what was going on. Ken Ichiouji not only was holding her hands but also asked her out on a date. Naturally, she eagerly accepted as she gave him her address.

"Thank you very much." Ken replied. "I'll guess I will see you tonight."

Miyako nodded. "Sure we will."

"Great. See you later."

"She was so easy to fool. Now, I can complete my plan to get rid of those pesky Chosen Children."

"Master, you're back."

"How is the creation of my little "gift?"

Wormmon looked at the Kaizer. "It's almost ready sir."

"Perfect." the Kaizer responded. "Using that ring, I will break apart the Chosen Children from the inside and with them gone, nothing would stop me from my goal of taking over the digital world." An evil grin and laugh came from the Kaizer's lips.

"I really enjoyed myself, Ken-kun."

"I'm glad you did Miyako-san. Anyway, I have a little gift for you."

"KEN!" Miyako was obviously surprised. "You really shouldn't have."

"But I insist." Ken replied as he showed his gift to her. It was a black ring accented with gold designs. "Here try it on."

"Thank you, Ken-kun." Miyako replied. "I will." She tried it on her finger and it was a perfect fit. "It is really beautiful. Domo arigato."

"Well then, I guess I will see you later, Miyako-san." Ken responded as he kissed her hand.

Miyako blushed for a while before answering "Yes, I hope that we will." she replied. She waved goodbye as she entered her home and Ken walked away with an evil grin across his face. "Good, everything is going to plan. The more she wears that ring, the more the power will take over her and soon she will be working for me."
