Disclaimer- I do not own Digimon and never will. As my fifth grade teacher once said, 'life's not fair!' ********************************************** Author's Note- Part 1 turned out to be crummy, didn't it? Well, the romance didn't really start. I'll see if I can make this part a bit better. Sincerely Rose ********************************************** The Empress Yolei looked around the room she was standing in. It was HUGE! The walls were a creamy pink, the floor was made of marble and the ceiling was VERY high. It had a crystal chandelier right in the middle of it. There was a huge window. The shutters were open and moonlight shone through the glass letting some light into the room. Almost all the furniture was black and gold. The full length mirror had a black frame with gold corners. The dresser was black and gold, the closet was black and gold, everything was black and gold. Just the bed was black. Yolei smiled. "This is very . . ." she didn't know how to end that sentence. Her face clouded over. She had a new mission in the Digi-world. Destroying the DD. She is the new Digimon Empress. Ken had brought her here right away after she agreed to join him. His room was right next door. He told her to try her uniform on and left. Yolei looked around the room once more. She hadn't noticed it before, but there was a black outfit on the bed. She went over and picked it up. The skirt was very short and seemed tight. It probably came like only half-way down her thighs. The top was full sleeved. It looked just like the Emperor's, exept hers was black and silver instead of blue and gold. There were no gloves. There were a pair of high-heeled boots beside her bed. Yolei didn't know whether to call them boots or not. They only came up an inch higher than her ankles. She took of her old clothes and put the new uniform on. She found out that she had been wrong about the skirt. It didn't come halfway down her thighs, it only came a quarter, but it was kinda tight. There were slits at the sides for easy movement. "Now, this is what I call mini-skirt!" she exclaimed. The top was also short. If it had stopped any higher, her breasts would've shown or something. There was no cape. It was then that she relised that she couldn't see very far. "Huh?" Yolei asked herself, "oh on! My glasses!" "Something the matter?" The Digimon Emperor appeared in the door way. "Well, um, I lost my glasses and I can't see very far without them so, umm . . . " her voice trailed off. Ken frowned. He held up his hand. "How many fingers?" he asked. Yolei shrugged. "I can't tell," she admitted with a shrug. "Well, we can fix that," the Emperor said. "How?" Yolei asked, "you can't fix my eyes." "I can't, can't I?" Ken smirked, "we'll just see about that." "What are you talking about?" Yolei questioned. "Follow me!" Ken ordered. He led her to a room. There were a few monitors in there, but it wasn't the control room. There were two tables right in the center of the room. One had a light bulb over it. (it wasn't lit) The other table had lots of things on it. Mostly wierd tools that Yolei had never seen in her life. There were other things in the room. Lots of cupboards and bottles of coloured liquids. Ken walked in and Yolei followed. "Lay down," he told her, indicating the table with nothing on it. Yolei was beginning to feel nervous, but she did as she was told. Ken picked up something that looked like a remote controll and pressed a button. All the lights went out, but the light bulb on the table lit up flaring into Yolei eyes. "Hey!" Yolei exclaimed, "are you trying to fix up my eyes or make me blind?!" "Relax," Ken said. He then disappeared into the darkness. 'What is he up to?' Yolei aksed herself. He reappeared with a bottle of hot, red gel-like substance. "H-hey, what-?" Yolei started, but Ken cut her off. "I'll tell you later," he said, "don't worry." He picked up something that looked like two needles stuck together. (A.N. Kinda like those double needle things you get when you buy compases) Yolei was really beginning to feel nervous. Ken took the cap of the bottle. Imediatley, steam came out. He dunked the needles into the gel, which sizzled. Yolei gulped and Ken smirked at her. "Afraid?" he asked. "No," Yolei replied. Scared? Her? Of course, not. She was more like terrified. She was horrified. Maybe even petrified. She bit her lower lip. "Now, don't move!" Ken instructed. "Gladly," she breathed much to Ken's amusement. He chuckled, slightly. "This WILL hurt," he almost promised. Yolei groaned, which caused Ken to smirk again. He brought the needles closer to her eyes. The needles had hot, sizzleing gel on them and Yolei wanted to move so much at that momment, but she didn't. He told her not to move. Probably because if she did, then the red stuff would probably blind her. He stuck the needles into her eyes, but Yolei didn't feel anything. She almost thought that it probably wouldn't hurt at all, but just then she felt something inside her eyes and it felt more than just a little uncomfortable. Then, her eyes began to burn and Yolei couldn't help but let out a scream. She felt something come out of her eyes and she moved, not stopping to think if it would be okay. She sat up and buried her face in her hands. Her eyes were shut tight and she intended to keep them that way, until the burning sensation went away. "Come on, lay back down," she heard Ken say, "the gel has to get into your eyes." She let him gently push her back down onto the table. Eventually, they did after a minute or so. Yolei slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the Emperor who was standing over her. He smirked AGAIN! (A.N. Am I the only one starting get sick of his smirks? (looks around) Guess so.) "So, how do you like your new eyes? Better than the old ones, I'll bet," he said. "Y-yeah," Yolei stammered. And she DID like them a whole lot better. She could see perfectly clear now. "Th-thank you," she mumbled. "Any time," Ken answered. He helped her off the table. Her vision started to get blurry. "H-hey, something's happening," Yolei said. "It'll get better after you get some rest," Ken promised, "I'll walk you to your room." She felt his hands on her shoulders and let him lead her towards her room. After a minute of walking, one of his hands left her shoulders to open the door. He led her into the room and made her get into bed. "When will the blurryness go away?" Yolei asked, sounding like a small child. Ken smirked again. "You won't see it in the morning," he said. He turned the lights off and left. The End of Chapter 2 ****************************************************************** Author's Note: How was that?
