Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Prince's Harem ❯ Huh? ( Chapter 6 )

AN: Quest is more or less in la, la land for now. I just can't seem to get the characters moving. I'm going to try, I promise!!! And let's see, I still don't own Digimon….

Ken was looking out the window when Iori came in.

"You called for me, my prince?"

Ken turned and sat down on the windowsill. He really didn't look at Iori as he spoke. "I want you to get Daisuke and Takeru ready to meet the King after lunch."

Iori bowed and left.

Ken sighed and walked out of the room. He hoped that everything would work out, but doubted that it would.

"This is getting strange."

Yamato looked at his best friend and advisor. They were sitting in Yamato's room. "Yes, it is. Taichi, what are we supposed to think? The King's own brother is an assassin?"

"Things are different here than at home. Look at this palace. It has a whole garden that is walled off with one-way mirrors for a ceiling."

"So?"

"It's for his harem." Taichi looked at Yamato, "What would you do with all those young ladies who now are locked up away from the world and only live for your pleasure?"

Yamato picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at Taichi.

Tai easily caught it and laughed. "Well?"

Yamato sighed and collapsed on the bed. "Well, it would be a way to get rid of all those women who only want to become queen."

"Still haven't found anyone you like?"

Yamato sat back up on the bed. "No, I haven't. I wish I would find someone who would be a good queen and a good mother." A gong rang three times in the distance. "Time for lunch."

**************************************************************** **************************

Takeru looked nervously at Iori. "Are you sure about this?" Ever since Iori had told both him and Daisuke about Ken's request he had been jumpy.

Daisuke put his arms around Takeru from behind. "Everything will be alright. We found each other when we were sold apart. We found a master who loves us and doesn't mind we love each other. How could anything bad happen? We've had the best luck."

Takeru snuggled into Daisuke's arms. "Just promise me that you and Ken will always be there."

"I'm only a slave, I can't make those kinds of promises. What I can promise is that Ken and I love you."

Iori made a noise with his throat. "It's time for us to go."

******************************************************************* ***********************

Ken had assembled everyone in his sitting room. Yamato had brought Taichi with him.

"What is this about?" asked Yamato.

"Lord Taichi was wondering about harem life, and I thought that it would be interesting for him to meet my harem."

There was a knock at the door and two males entered. King Yamato looked at them. One had reddish hair and was wearing maroon and black silk pajamas. He was leading a blond hair boy behind him who was dressed similarly except in blue and white. The blond seemed to want to hide behind his friend. Ken walked over and took the blond into his arms. The other boy went and sat down beside Ken's vacated chair.

Taichi looked at the two boys and Ken. "Huh?"

Osamu filled Taichi in. "Ken doesn't like girls. Never has that way. So he keeps guys in his harem."

Ken still was standing in the middle of the room holding the blond. The blond was snuggled into Ken so that all that could be seen of him was the back of his head. Ken was whispering to him and running his hand up and down his back.

Taichi looked at the boy sitting on the floor. "Who are you? And how did you get here?"

"I'm Daisuke. I was bought as a present for Prince Ken by Lady Miyako."

"A present?"

Daisuke nodded. "Yes, my lord. She decided that Prince Ken needed someone in his harem."

Ken led the blond over to his chair and sat down. He pulled the other boy into his lap. "She didn't know that I had already found someone." He ran his hand through the boys hair. "But that didn't mean that I didn't need Daisuke." He looked down lovingly at the other boy.

"And the other boy would be?" asked Taichi.

The blond finally spoke. "I'm Takeru, my lord."

Yamato looked between Osamu and Ken. "Takeru??"

The blond looked at him fearfully. "Yes, my lord. Please don't send me away. I just want to stay here."

Yamato looked at Ken sharply. "Explain this now."

Ken looked at Yamato. "I bought Takeru at the local slave market. He had nightmares that left him screaming every night. I learned that he had been taken illegally and made sure that it couldn't happen again. He told me that his whole family had been killed."

Takeru looked between Ken and Yamato. "What's wrong?"

Ken looked at Takeru. "Angel, this is King Yamato. His brother was taken by slavers. And my best guess is that you are his brother."

"Yama???" Takeru looked over. "You're alive??"
