Digimon Adventure 02: Amnesia and hidden Secrets

An Enemy Returns

"That's it! Everyone out!" Dr. Kido ordered as Ken screamed and cried hysterically. The poor kid had enough to deal with.

Doctor Kido watched as Daisuke, the Ichijouji's, Meya, and DemiVeemon leave the room. He glanced at Takeru and ordered for him to leave as well. However, Ken refused to let him go.

"Don't leave! Don't leave me Takeru!" Takeru immediately got closer to Ken and held him.

"I'm not going anywhere Ken. I'm not going to leave you. I promise." Takeru glances at him and he sighs. He glances at the door and see the worried expressions of Ken's friends and parents. The poor kid is in so much pain. Ken was going to need serious therapy after this. He just hopes he can get Ken to calm down long enough for him to get a good rest.

Hikari sighs as she stands next to Miyako and Iori. They all felt guilty for what they did. They all came back with Gennai and his Mexican counterpart, Jose, to make amends and hope to sooth the damage they caused.

Hikari forced herself not to flinch when Daisuke glared at them when he came out of Ken's room. She noticed that a girl was next to him and she was giving them a look the boarded anger and disgust. She felt horrible.

Hikari glanced at her brother. Taichi was leaning against the wall with the most painful expression on his face. Taichi's expression expressed so must guilt and sadness that it hurt. What a mess they have caused. They were supposed to be Ken's friends. They were supposed to be supportive and understand in his time in need. How did everything turn so bad in a matter of a day?

Hikari and Gatomon flinched when Ken began whimpering in his sleep that they hated him and why they were so mean to him. Hikari felt so awful. She was the Chosen of Light. She was supposed to see the good in all beings and help them. And yet she had done the opposite. She had hurt that same person that she cared about, her own friend.

Tears rolled down Miyako's eyes as she heard Ken in pain. What had she done? She admired Ken. Sure she may have a crush on him, but how could she be such a horrible person? She allowed her own dark feelings to take over and hurt the one person she cared about. She was the Chosen of Love and Sincerity for peak sake! When Ken needed love and understanding, she gave him a bucket of cold water and a slap in the face.

She was wrong, so very wrong. She held Hawkmon as she thought about the awful things she done. Ken was suffering from amnesia. It wasn't his fault he couldn't remember being raped until a week ago. Well that isn't right anymore is it?

She bit her lip and tried not to break down as Ken whimpered about her next. She didn't hate him. She didn't! She shouldn't have said those awful things to him. It was untrue and hurtful. How was she supposed to be the Chosen of Love and Sincerity if she allowed her judgmental side to take over? She wasn't sincere at all! She was heart less and cruel. She said things that she shouldn't have said and now it might be too late.

Iori bowed his head in shame as he heard Ken sobbing. His grandfather would be so disappointed in him. How could he allow his anger to blind him to the truth? He saw the way Ken was acting and was blinded by his own doubts and insecurities. He only heard part of what Daisuke said and ignored the rest.

What have he done? He was supposed to be the new Chosen of Reliability and Knowledge. Yet he didn't listen to what Daisuke was saying and he didn't even think about comforting and helping Ken when he was suffering from an episode. He allowed his anger to cloud his mind and ended up saying things he wish he hadn't. He called Ken the Kaiser. Iori knew it wasn't Ken's fault. It was like he was being controlled by a digimon outside Ken's control. Why did he say those things? Why? Why? Why?

He didn't bother to stop the tear that traveled down his cheek. Ken was in pain. He was suffering and they were the cause of it. How could he have been so blinded, to act so dishonorable, and end up hurting someone who was a victim?
