Author's Note and disclaimers: This is for Gabuygomamon's Kenyako contest. At no point in this story do I own Digimon. "Emotion" belongs to the Bee Gees, but the version that started this and will be played in the story was done by Destiny's Child. "Happy Face" belongs to Destiny's Child. "Because You Love Me" belongs to Celine Dion. And I think that's all the disclaimers I need. No...wait. The yellow pineapple laptop belongs to Izzy. Oh, and on a side note, ** indicates thoughts.

Chapter 1: Emotion
"This is the end, Yolei."
"Wait a second. You're breaking up with me, Kareshi?"
A/N: For reference, the Japanese-English dictionary I used translates Kareshi as boyfriend, which is why I picked it.
Yolei's boyfriend, now exboyfriend, looked at her with grey eyes. "You got it. See ya 'round." He started to walk off.
"Wait!"
He turned back to face Yolei. "What?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"Why? Well, first of all, you just aren't my type. I mean, you don't fit in with the rest of my friends. Not to mention I don't feel you're faithful. After all, you seem to want to chase after a bunch of guys. Let me see...that Izzy friend of yours, Ken Ichijouji, and who knows who else."
"I...see." Without another word, Yolei's exboyfriend walked off. Upset, Yolei headed home, her eyes filling with unshed tears.
"Hey Yolei!"
The teenager turned to see Nuriko. "Uh, hi."
"Is something wrong?"
Yolei smiled ruefully. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Oh." Nuriko added, "If you want to talk later, let me know."
"Alright." Yolei continued on her way.

Ken leaned against the railing of his balcony, his faithful Digimon, Wormmon, at his side. Despite what anyone might think, Ken wasn't looking at the skyline. Instead of that, his eyes only saw a vision of a girl, a friend, someone he wanted to be close to.
"Hey Ken?"
Ken looked over at Wormmon with his dark blue eyes. "Yeah?" The wind blew a few strands of blue hair into his face.
"What are you thinking?"
Ken smiled. "Same thing I keep coming out here to think, Wormmon."
"You mean you're thinking about--"
"Yeah, I am."

Tears slowly rolled down Yolei's cheeks. "Why, Hawkmon? What did I do to get dumped?"
"I don't know, Yolei. I don't know." Hawkmon wrapped his wing around Yolei, trying to comfort her and feeling dreadfully inadequate.
Yolei took a deep breath. "Did Mimi give me a song appropriate for this?" She picked up the CD case and looked at the track list. Yolei again smiled ruefully as she started playing an appropriate track.
It's over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
Instead of me tonight?
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
Yolei dove into her thoughts. **I guess I deluded myself when I told myself I finally fit into the popular crowd.**
In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
**So where does this leave me? Where do I go from here, from the end of the relationship?**
I'm there at your side
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pilow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
**Well, if my new friends aren't really my friends, I guess I should return to my real friends, the other Digidestined.** Yolei wiped the tears from her face.
In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
**Maybe one of them can point me in a new direction. A better direction.**
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pilow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
"Yolei, what are you thinking?"
"I think it's time I went back to hanging out with the Digidestined."
"That seems like a capital idea."
Yolei looked over at her partner. **Capital? I'm not gonna ask.**
