Digimon Adventure 02

Ken's secret

~~~~Davis~~~~

I ran across the field chasing after the soccer ball. I slid down and tripped one of the players to stop him from getting the ball. It rolled off the field, right in front of Tai and the rest of the gang.

"You walk much Davis?" Tai joked after he stopped the ball from rolling away.

Our practice ended a while later after the sky had already turned purple and pink.

"All right, team, huddle up." Our coach said, "I've got an announcement to make. Our first scrimmage is this Sunday, it's against last year's number one team in the league."

We were all surprised because we all knew who was on that team.

"That's the team with that brainiac Ken." I said, shocked but excited, "He's good at soccer, sports, he's good at everything."

"Hey, hey, watch the name calling. He's Ken Ichijouji." Coach said.

The next day after school, we all met back in the computer room, where Yolei had pulled up info on Ken.

"As captain of his soccer team, Ken Ichijouji led his soccer team to victory last season by scoring a record setting 45 goals." Yolei read off the screen.

"Whoa, this kid may be better than I am." Tai said from behind us.

"I bet he could be in the Olympics if he wanted to." Cody said.

"He's not so tough. I never even got a chance to beat him." I said. "We never played his team last season."

"You guys got knocked out early, you didn't make it to the playoffs." Tk rubbed in my face.

"Very funny, Te." I said back.

"You think you can beat him?" Kari asked.

"Yeah, he seems like a tough opponent." Kimiko said.

"Well, I don't have to flat out beat him. If I could just make it a close game against a guy like that, then I'd be a living legend. And everyone knows how much chicks dig living legends." I said.

"Oh Davis." Yolei said. She stood up, grabbed both my hands and smiled at me, "When you see Ken on the soccer field, will you get his autograph for me?"

We didn't go the digital world that day, since there wasn't much activity. The good thing was that everyone was going to come, even our small digimon. We went home and I bragged to Demiveemon about how I would wipe the field with Ken during our match.

~~~~Kimiko~~~~

Sunday had finally come quickly. Davis and his team were already on the field as the crowds slowly began to form on the bleachers.

All of us, including Tai, sat on the bleachers watching Davis and his team warm up and stretch.

Davis looked up for a moment and saw us cheering for him.

"Good luck, Davis!" Kari shouted holding Demiveemon in her lap.

"Don't forget to hug Ken!" Yolei shouted.

"Give him a kiss, too!" Tai playfully added.

Just then, the bus holding the opposing team rolled up to the field. A small crowd of girls were already waiting for the 'boy genius' to come out. He may be a genius, but there was something strange about him. Something cold and chilling.

"Oh, I can't believe it's really him." Yolei said dreamily, her hands squishing Poromon.

"I really wish Davis hasn't gotten over his head." Tai said.
