Digimon Adventure 02: Amnesia and hidden Secrets

Memories

Takeru couldn't believe he had to be in the same room as her. She had tried to turn Ken against them and then have the nerve to have Daisuke to email him that he just had to be here to help Ken remember him. He wasn't sure what she was up to but he knew he couldn't trust her. Not for one second was he going to trust her.

"You're thinking to much again." Takeru blinked and looked at Patamon, who was taking his usual spot on top of his head.

"Sorry. I'm just worried." Patamon smiled sadly at him. He too was worried about Ken's emotional state. The fear in Ken's eyes when he saw the others was very nerve racking and very much real. He hated to see Ken in such a frightened state. But why he acted the way he did still bugged him. Was it possible that he saw pieces of what happened yesterday? Well that did explain why he freaked out when Taichi and the others barged in; defiantly not one of his best plans.

Takeru reached out his hand and slid his palm under Ken's hand. He gently rubbed his thumb on the top of his hand. Ken sighed in content and curled his fingers in a bit. Takeru smiled softly as he watched Ken react to his touch. Ken might not remember him now but he's subconsciously reacting to his touch. It made him wonder if Ken had any feelings for him. It was possible. Ken had always been sort of shy around him and the way he shyly greeted him earlier made him wonder.

Movement from above his head caught his attention. Patamon moved from his position on Takeru's head and landed on the bed. Patamon gave him a knowing look. What was that look for? "He likes you!" Takeru blushed.

"Patamon!"

"What?" Patamon said while smiling sweetly. "He was mumbling your name earlier when you weren't here and I've seen the shy looks he gives you when you're around." Takeru let out an exasperate breath. It was nice to know that Ken might have feels for him. It made him happy but there still the issue of Ken's memory and emotional state. "And don't give me the excuse that he doesn't remember or his emotional state." Takeru blinked at his digimon and stared at him for a very long time.

"How did you know I was thinking that?" He finally asked.

Patamon smiled cutely at him. "I'm your partner. I know you better than anyone." That was true. Patamon knew him better than he knew himself, but why did he always have to bud into his personal life like that.

Takeru sighed and looked at Ken's sleeping face. Ken looked so peaceful and innocent as he slept. Ken was too caring and kind to deserve any of the things that happened to him over the years. Takeru thought back to when he first known Ken as the Kaiser. He was in so much pain due to his brother's death. He wasn't sure how Ken was able to overcome the dark powers of the dark spore that controlled him for a good portion of his life. He knows that Ken still struggles with the darkness at times but he's able to fight against it now that he and Daisuke are there to help him. Takeru smiled briefly before worry crept in. Ken's been through too much. First there's Ken's brother's death, next the spore, then being kidnapped and raped by Oikawa and then not remembering it until recently, and finally ending up in a hospital with amnesia due to the others yelling and insulting him for no good reason, freighting him so bad that he run out of the complex and into a snowstorm. Poor Ken. Why were bad things always happening to him?

Takeru was shifted back into reality when he heard a soft groan. Takeru looked at Ken's face and noticed that his eyes were slowly opening. Takeru gave Ken's hand a small squeeze of encouragement. In a soft voice Takeru called his name, "Ken-kun?" Takeru waited a few minutes before Ken fully opened his eyes. Ken still looked quite tired despite sleeping for several hours. He looked into Ken's eyes and noticed that they were filled with tiredness and confusion. He wondered why?

Ken groaned as he returned to wakefulness. He felt very tired still, despite his nap. How long have he been asleep? It couldn't have been that long, has it? Ken opened his eyes slowly and notice that Takeru was sitting in a chair next to him, calling his name softly. Ken looked into Takeru's ocean blue eyes and notice how it sparkled with relief and concern. Ken had a strangle feeling that he knew Takeru for a very long time and wondered how close they were. He remembered Daisuke but not everything. He remembered when he first met Wormmon and how scared he was when they had to help his friend Ryo fight against Millenniummon. He remembered playing with Daisuke at a soccer match. He remembered when he was at these picnics with Daisuke, Takeru and their digimon but for some reason he didn't feel very comfortable at them. Weird. He also remembers seeing this small blue digimon on top of Daisuke's head after taking down a strange black tower. The digimon was probably Daisuke's digimon but he couldn't recall the name and there's also the fact of this tower. Why were they taking it down? Was it broken or something and needed to be repaired? No, that didn't sound right. Maybe he should ask Daisuke or Takeru about it. He doesn't remember a whole lot about Takeru, it was one event really, but it was a start.
