Chapter 9:

Introductions...Again

and Feelings Revealed

Hello again. I'm back with another story. Remember, at the end of this story, check out bottom to see part two of my author suggestion section. Like last time, you don't have to check them out. I am just recommending. No further a do, on with the story. I don't own digimon what so ever.

The ride from the base was somewhat unmentionable. All that really happened was that everyone was talking to one another about what had happened to them since they were locked up. I didn't reallyhear most of it since I had other things on my mind. The main one was of Kari who was flying on Nefertimon and keeping to herself. I could understand that she was worried about me when me and Veemon were fighting those four guards, everyone was. But for some unknown reason she was the most worried.

We continued to ride for another half an hour until we decided that we had gone far enough. In a way it was a go place to stop since we were now in a samll opening in the forest that we had been going through and a small cave that was big enough for all of us to fit in comfortably. Once we were able to settle down and the digimon were rested up we, decided we should properly introduce one another. With Kari apparently not in the mood to do it, Sora decided to do it.

Motioning for me to follow, she lead me to a boy who was definitely older than me by a few years with a pair of glasses on and a digimon that looked like a seal with a mow hawk. "Davis, I like to introduce you to Joe Kido and Gomamon." "Please to meet you Joe." I said while I stuck my hand out to him. He smiled and shook my hand. "Thank you Davis. I appreciate you helping us." "Think nothing of it."

Leaving Joe, I went to the next guy who had to be around Joe's age. He had short red hair and was carrying a lap top computer and his digimon who was flying beside him looked like a big red bug. "Over here is are computer wiz, Izzy Izumi and Tentomon." Before I could even get a word out he started to ask me several scientific questions about me and Veemon which was starting to give me a headache. "Hold it." Thankfully that stop him from asking anymore qestions. "To answer some of your questions, I will explain to you about everything I know later." Accepting my comprmise he nodded and shook hands with me to seal the deal.

Moving away from Izzy I went to the next person who was the only girl of the four that we had rescued and was the one who yelled at me on more than one occasion. Looking at her digimon who was also flying beside her I saw that it looked like a small hawk with a headband that had a feather on it. "The next person I would like to introduce you to is Yolei Inoue and here partner Hawkmon. "We've meet." As I was refering to our earlier confersation. Knowing what I meant Yolei scratched the back of her head let out a little nervious laugh. "Oh that. Sorry about that. It was just with all the things that was happening at the time I wasn't thinking straight." Putting a hand on her shoulder I gave a friendly smile. "Don't worry about it. I would probably have done the same thing if I was in your shoes." After I said that a faint blush came on her cheeks. I could see that I wasn't the only one to see this since I saw a look of what seemed to be jealousy on Ken's face and for some odd reason, I could see a small hint of that same look on Kari's face. Ignoring Kari's look I decided that this would be a good time to tease Ken.

"What's with the heated looks Ken? I'm not trying to steal your girl if that's what your thinking about." This caused Yolei to blush a darker shade of red and Ken now had a shade of red on his face as well. "W-What!? It's nothing like that. It's just that...that..." "Forget about it Ken. I was just joking." "I-I-I knew that." "Sure you did." Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Leaving the two blushing teens as they were, I went to the only person that I had let to be introduce to. He had to be around my age. He was wearing a green t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. His digimon that he was holding in his arms looked like a orange genie pig with wings on his head. Getting a better look at him I got this feeling that I had seen him somewhere before. "Last but not least, here is TK Takaishi and Patamon." Shaking off the feeling that I had, I stuck my hand out in an offer of friendship. "Hello TK. It's nice to meet you." Accepting my offer he shook my hand. "Likewise Davis. I like to thank you for saving us." The way he was talking to me I couldn't help but feel like I had seen him before or someone like him. "I'm sorry if this sounds werid or anything. But do you have this strange feeling that we have met somewhere before?" "Now that you mention it, I do feel as though we have met somewhere. Tell me, what is your whole name?" "Davis Motomiya but my real name is Daisuke. Why do you ask?" "Now I knew why you are so familiar. We use to go to the same school before this whole MaloMyotimson thing. Me, you and Kari were in the same class together." After he said that all the moments that happen with me, TK and Kari came back to me. I also remembered all the time I saw them together and for some unknown reason I felt a twig of jealousy. "I remember know." I said with a tiny bit of anger in my voice but no one seemed to notice. "Let's hope we can become a great time. "I hope so as well."

Last that day...

After getting more acquainted with TK and the others we saw that it was getting pretty late. So we all decided that we get some sleep. And just like last time, me and Veemon were standing watch as the others were sleeping inside the cave. I was now just sitting on a log in front of a small fire that we made while Veemon was on the ground beside me and was fast asleep.

In a way I was glad that I was by myself. It gave me some time alone to think about some things. Like how would we rescue the last two DigiDestined which were the only ones out of all of us that had digimon that could reach the mega level? I mean, MaloMyotismon has to know that we were now going for them. So, he would have his strongest minions there to prevent us form getting to them. We would just have to deal with it when we face it.

Another reason why I was glad that I was alone was because it gave me the chance to sort out these feelings that I had for Kari. I knew that I like her more than a good friend but I didn't know if I really loved her or if she felt the same. I thought back to the talk me and Sora had on the first night that we met. It was true when I said that I wouldn't know what I would do if anything bad happened to Kari. She was the closest person I had now since my family was gone. I wouldn't be able to stand it if she was taken away from me as well.

Apparently I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I didn't realize that someone was coming over towards me until they placed a hand on my shoulder. "You okay Davis?" "Oh, it's you Kari. What are you doing up?" Moving from her previous place she took a seat besides me. "I couldn't sleep. I just had too many things on my mind." "Care to talk about it?" "Not really." "Come on. It might help if you tell someone abou tit and seeing as I am the only one here you could tell me if you want." "If you really want to know I have been wondering recently if we should continue these searches." "But don't you want to save your brother Tai? I mean, it's only him and TK's older brother that needs to be rescued." "How did you know that? More importantly, how did you know that Tai was also a DigiDestined?" "Remember I told you a while ago that I heard a lot about you guys. And I heard plenty about a person named Tai. Then you told me that your brother was a DigiDestined as well. Putting two and two together it was easy to figure out." "Impressive. You were able to figure all that out?" "Well, it was that and the little talk that me and TK had a while ago."

That caused Kari to bust up into a fit of laughter. "May I ask what is so funny?" "Its just that for a brief moment I thought that you were smart enough to figure it out on your own." said Kari before breaking into another fit of laughter. "Oh come on. It isn't that funny." Finally calming herself down she wiped away the tears of laughter from her eyes. "Sorry about that. I couldn't help but laugh." "Its alright. At least I was abel to put a smile on your lovely face." "What did you just say?" Realizing what I just said I turned my head away from her to hide the look of embarrassment on my face. "It w-wa-was n-nothing. Nothing at all." "Did you say I have a lovely face?" I had wish that she would have dropped this discussion all together but apparently she wasn't going to do that anytime soon. "Yeah, I did."

A moment of uneasy silence came between us as neither of us knew what to do or say next. "Davis...Is it alright if I ask you something?" asked Kari who finally broke the silence. "Sure. What do you want to ask?" "Can you tell me why you have been helping me and the others by doing all that you have done?" It wasn't the question I thought that she was going to ask but I was just as glad that she didn't ask. "I thought I told you before that I am doing this because I want to. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let you do this on your own." "But look what has happen to you since you have been with me. First you nearly get killed by SkullMeramon while freeing me from his camp. Almost being killed a second time while fighting Trevor and WarMonzaemon. Then you almost died a third time when you fell from a building. You were able to escape without any major injuries. But what about the next time or the one after that? What if-" I stopped her from continuing by placing a finger on her lips.

"Their are many what ifs Kari. What if I didn't meet up with you again? What if I didn't help you in rescuing the others? The list goes on and on. You have to remember that I chose to come with you and doing everything that I have done since then. I am willing to fight till the very end." "You really mean that?" "Of course I do. I wouldn't be able to stand back while you guys were fighting. I care for everyone, especially you." Once again I couldn't shut my mouth before I said what I just said. "Forget what I just said. It was nothing."

Once again we were in complete silence until Kari the broke it. "Is it alright if I ask you another question?" "Of course. What do you want to ask?" "What do you feel about me?" She finally asked the question I knew she wanted ask since we had that little kiss. I hope she would have ask after this whole advanture was over. "Well...you are my closest and dearest friend." "Is that all I am to you?" I guess their wasn't any reason to hind it anymore. "No. That's not all. I feel that you are the most trustworthy, caring and beautiful person in the entire world." That caused the both of us to blush. Me because I actually said what I just said and her because what I just said what I thought about her. "Do you actually mean that?" "I meant every last word." "If that's ture, then I will be honest with you as well." Thinking of the right words to say she continued.

"When I was being held captive in SkullMeramon's camp, I thought that me and Gatmon were going to end up staying there for the rest of our lives. Then you came and even though you didn't have to you help us escape. When you got Veemon and both of your digi eggs you were more than willing to help me find and resuce the others. Even though time after time you almost got killed you were still willing to help. You are indeed special guy Davis. Any girl would be lucky to by your....girlfriend."

To say that I was deeply flattered would be an understatement. I had to be blushing three shades of red. "Thank you for the complement Kari." She didn't say anything since she had her head down and looking at her feet. In a way, when she was acting this shy, it made her look more precious. "By any chance Kari, do you remember what happen on the night I got Veemon?" Still looking down she simply nodded her head. "Then you would remember that I told you that I wasn't going to let you do this all on your own...and that I...care too much about you to let anything bad happen to you." Wanting to get my point acress I put my hand under her chin and gently lifted her head from the floor to look at me eye to eye. "I care for you deeply Kari. You mean too much to me to let you get hurt and do nother about it. I wouldn't be able to take it if you were taken away from me. I-" This time it was Kari who made me stop talking by placing a finger to my lips.

"You don't have to say anymore. I feel the same for you." I looked at her wide eyed in shock. "Y-Y-You do?" She just nodded her head. "Does this mean that-" "Yes. Yes it does." Just like what happen that one night we had, we brought our heads towards one another and touched our lips together. Unlike the last kiss which lasted a second this one lasted at least a minute. Then, out of nowhere, I wrapped my arms around her waist to bring her closer. Surprisingly, she responded by wrapping her arms around my neck. We stayed like that until we had to let go to get some air. As we were getting our wind back she placed her head on my chest. "I love you Davis."

With those simply words I froze. *She loves me. She actually loves...me. But do I love her the same way?* Looking into her eyes I saw that she was starting to regret what she said since I haven't said anything. Thinking that I was ignoring her, she turned her head away as the tears in her eyes were starting to show. "I-I'm sorry Davis. I didn't mean to offend you. I'll leave now." "Wait Kari." I yelled out as I grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving. "Before you go I want to give you my anwer." I removed my hand from her arm and took a deep breath. "I remember the first time we ever met Kari. It was when we were little kids. I was imediately had feelings for you. Those feelings only got stronger as we got to know each other more. Then, when TK arrived you and him started to hang around with each other. I was upset at first. But not wanting to lose you as a friend, I stood back and let you do as you wanted and surpress these feelings. Soon after MaloMyotismon took over and with my family being killed I let those feelings go. At least I thought I did.

When I saw you crying the first day we met at SkullMeramon's camp, it felt as though I could feel you pain. Then after we escape we got to know each other again and slowly but surely my feelings for you came back." Not being able to look straight at her, I looked towards the ground. "Day after day they got stronger and stronger. Then, their was that night when we shared that kiss. Even though it lasted only a second I felt as though it lasted an hour." Shaking off the feeling of uneasiness, I lifted my head up and looked back at Kari who had her back towards me and hadn't said a word. "All my life people had thought that I was nothing more than a soccer jock who was too dumb to understand anything. But you were one of the few people who took the time to know the real me. You saw that I was a honest, intelligent and loyal friend and I appreciate it. You are not like any other girl I have met and I never had these kind of feelings for anyone as I do for you. To spit it out, I love you Kari Kamiya. With all my heart and soul."

I felt a huge weight come off my shoudlers after I was able to say what I wanted to say for so long. Now all I had to worry about was what would Kari's reaction be. She did say that she loved me. But I had to know if she regreted what she said. I received my anwer when she turned around and looked into my eyes. Without any warning, she grabbed my shirt collar and pulled me into a kiss. I was shocked that Kari woudl do something so forward. Not that I was complaining about. I stood there wide eyed for a while till I slowly closed my eyes and returned the kiss. We continued to kiss and every second that went by, it intensify.

Finally, after what had to be at least two minutes, we seperated to get some air. "I guess your glad about my answer." "I am most certainly am." she said as she rested her head on my chest and I placed mine on top of hers. We stayed like, with neither of us moving from the others grip as we both slowly drifted off to sleep under the stars.

(Author's POV)...

Elsewhere in the Digital World...

"AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Blast it." hollered MaloMyotismon as he destroyed let another of his servents. He had been doing that ever since he found out that another base that had some of the DigiDestined was attacked by the freed DigiDestined. When he sent a troop to check the damage that was done it was discovered that the entire base was destroyed. All the guards that were placed there were all gone. Not a single one of them were left standing. Both of the control spires that were near by were destroyed as well. As for the DigiDestined who were placed in the base. They were able to escape with the others without anyway of being followed.

After venting out his anger a while longer, he finally was able to calm down. "What should we do now my lord?" asked one of the servents that was fortunate enough to survive his lord's venting. "They most certainly head towards where the last two DigiDestined are being kept at. Do you wish for me to sent your army over there to provent them from succeeding?" "No. I order you not to." "But my lord. If we don't sent any reinforcements they will mostly certainly be able to succeed." "I know that and that is why I will deal with them. Personally."

Hope you like this chapter. I know that I might have went a bit too mushy romance between Davis and Kari. It was the only way I thought that it was apporiate to do it. Anyway, here is now the part two of my author suggestions:

First off is Silver. He has wrote many digimon stories such as his current work, 'The Outcast'. Not to mention 'Walkabout' and the stories that followed it. He might take a long time to put up a new chapter up for his stories. But when he does put one up, more times than not, it is worth the wait.

Next up is:

The author Digivice. He is a prove Davis writer and wrote up some terrific fanfics. Such as 'The Digidestined Saga' and 'Of Darkness and Light'. And even though he has discontinued it, 'Hidden Secrets' is worth checking out.

Their you have it. I gave you two authors and a few of their stories that you might want to check out. And like last time, I am not telling you to check any of them out. I am simply suggesting them. Until the next chapter, see ya.
