Shukumei no Yuki

Chapter Nine

 

      Davis sighed as he sat on a bench beside the local soccer field; no one else was here except himself and veemon. His face for once was serious, he was thinking of his life and of his future.

 

      Most people would think him a goof and often he was, but he often acted like that to lighten the mood and make people cheer up when they needed it.

 

      'What am I suppose to do with my life, I really don't fit in with the other digidestined' Davis thought with a frown, he got along with Matt, TK, Yolei, Ken and Cody just fine but would rather avoid the others.

 

      'At first I thought I was in love with Kari but she is so cold, I don't know why the others don't see it... but I have a feeling that TK isn't interested in her really and wants to get away from her' Davis thought and it was true, the blond teen of hope always seemed to look like he wanted to hide when Kari came near.

 

      'Its hard to believe that under our rivalry and me making fun of him were friends, none of the others but my real friends understand our rivalry' Davis thought, his lip twitched slightly into a smile.

 

      "Davis," Veemon suddenly said, the goggled boy looked at his small dragon like digimon.

 

      "Yeah Veemon?" Davis asked, the blue digimon looked up at him with his red eyes.

 

      "Why don't the older digidestined and Kari like you very much?" Veemon asked, Davis paused and also wondered that. For as long as he could remember the original digidestined minus Tk and Matt, well... the best way you could say was that they seemed to hold him in a deep contempt as if he was lower then him.

 

      The group often said awful things behind his back, it hurt him that people he had hoped to be good friends would turn away from him like this.

 

      The digidestined he was close with comforted him about these remarks and the others hate, it was because of this that there was an invisible line between his group and the others.

 

      To everyone else it seems were all good friends, but beneath that they all wanted to be far away from Kari and the others as possible.

 

      "I don't know Veemon, at least some of the others like me and aren't with the others," Davis said with a sigh, it was at that moment that Veemon shifted his body and looked at something.

 

      "Hey its Matt, and he's with someone," Veemon said in his kawaii voice, Davis turned to look and smiled when he saw TK's brother and another teen with gravity defying brown hair.

 

      "You better play stuffed toy," Davis said, to his surprise Veemon giggled and began to jump up and down.

 

      "No worry, I can tell we can trust Matt’s friend," Veemon giggled, Davis sighed bewildered and waited for Matt and the other teen to get there.

      'Kami-sama Yama was right, this kid could of been me at that age' Tai thought as they walked across the field, Matt had decided to introduce him to one of the new digidestined and the other holder of courage.

 

      Davis like he did when he was younger wore a pair of goggles and looked a lot like himself in ways, what more the preteen loved soccer as much as he did.

 

      'Why couldn't I of had a him as a brother, I would trade Kari for him any day' he thought with amusement, that amusement grew when he noticed the rookie digimon jumping beside him.

 

      'Hey I met that digimon before, he was one of the digimon Gennai got me to place with the digiarmor eggs... I wondered who got partnered with Veemon' Tai thought grinning some, he just hoped Veemon wouldn't tell Davis who he was once he reconized him in this form.

 

***

 

      Veemon couldn't contain his excitement, he was so happy to see Chimon again. At first he hadn't recognized the mega in this form, but he had learned to recognize the megas power after the time he had spent with him.

 

      To this day He could still remember the time he had hung out with the mega, then it was time and Chimon had put him into the digiegg of courage to meet his partner years later.

 

      The digimon that the newer digidestined had gotten didn't tell anyone about Chimon, it was something private. He decided not to tell Davis that the teen coming towards him was Chimon, he would only tell if Chimon said he could.

      "Davis, I would like to introduce you to my friend Yagami Taichi, Taichi this is Davis one of my younger friends," Matt said as they got to Davis, Matt hid his grin at the last name.

 

      To throw people off they had chosen Yagami for Tais last name, also Tai would be going by his full first name since only Kari of the originals knew Tais full first name.

 

      "Nice to meet you Davis," Tai said, they shook.

 

      "Nice to meet you too Taichi," Davis said with a grin, next to him Veemon grinned and winked at Tai. To Matt’s surprise Tai winked back, he got the feeling he was missing something but he knew Tai would tell him later.

 

      "So Davis I hear you play soccer, how about we play a short one on one game," Tai said giving Davis an evil smile, that smile was returned in full.

 

      "I do play, I'm one of the best next to my friend Ken... lets play," Davis said, at that moment Tai pulled out a shiny brand new soccer ball. Matt sweat dropped and wondered where Tai had gotten the ball and kept it for now, he guessed he would have to ask later.

 

      With a sigh the blond teen sat on the bench on the side of the field with Veemon, he gave the giggling digimon a wry look.

 

      "All right veemon, what do you know that I don't?" he asked the rookie digimon, as he talked he watched the soccer game. His grin grew as he watched Tai zoom across the feild with the ball; he was starting to remember why Tai's team had always won. Tai had lots of energy and could run a very long time without breaks, he could have been an Olympic runner... and now with his digimon power he was even faster.

 

      "Chimon is really good at soccer, he tried to teach me how to play a long time ago," Veemon said in a whisper to him, Matt took his eyes of the practically one sided game and looked at veemon in surprise.

 

      "How do you know who he is Veemon, I thought no one would recognize who he was in a human form?" he asked in a whisper, Veemon giggled and grinned at the blond.

 

      "I met him before I was put under the egg to wait for Davis, I learned to recognize his power when I knew him," Veemon said, Matt frowned and began to tell Veemon all about Tai’s past since he had a feeling Tai wouldn't mind if he told veemon... and Veemon would keep it all secret.

 

***

 

      "Wow, I never met anyone so good at soccer.... or so fast," Davis said in awe as they sat down on the feild, there game had ended awhile ago and Davis was still catching his breath. He found himself like the older teen, he felt like he had so much in common with him.

 

      "Well I love soccer Davis, and maybe you'll be as fast as me one day," Taichi said, he gave a glare to Matt when he snorted.

 

      "Yama, that isn't polite," Taichi said, Davis blinked and stared at Matt.

 

      "Matt, why did Taichi call you Yama... and how long have you known him?" Davis asked curious, Taichi began to laugh when Matt began to blush.

 

      "My name is actually Yamato but I like Matt better, and before you ask only Taichi can call me Yama. I've known Taichi since I was a kid but he moved away along time ago, the others don't know him and he's staying at my place while he’s here," Matt said, Davis looked at the two and the way they reacted and he smiled.

 

      "But you forgot to tell me the most important part," Davis said, he couldn't wait to tease Matt about this.

 

      "What’ that?" Matt asked, Davis grinned evilly at the two.

 

      "That you've become Kois... so how far have you gone?" he asked raising his eyebrow, he was rewarded with the two blushing deeply.

 

      "Davis," Matt said with groan, the blond sighed.

 

      'I knew it, I better not tell my sister this yet or she'll go nut' Davis thought, he then sweatdropped when he noticed the evil grin directed at him.

 

      "What’ wrong?' he asked the blond carefully, he began to feel nervous.

 

      "So, when are you going to tell TK that you love him?" Matt asked, Davis eeeped and paled as his deepest secret came out.

 

      "Matt, he likes girls as far as I know... he'll hate me," Davis said, he knew that if he told TK might never go near him again and he didn't want to loose TK forever.

 

      "Well I'm not sure about the girl part Davis, just talk to him," Matt said, Davis stared at the ground till he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw Taichi; he saw a sadness in those eyes.

 

      "You have to tell him Davis, don't let yourself become sad... believe in yourself and everything will be okay," Taichi said with a soft smile, Davis felt courage rise inside him and knew it was true.

 

      "Thanks you guys, I'm going to do that now... thanks," Davis said getting to his feet, he picked up Veemon and ran off the field to find TK his crush.

 

***

 

      "He's a good kid Yama," Tai said as he watched Davis run to find Tk, Tai smiled as a gut feeling told him that the meeting between Davis and TK would go good.

 

      "Yeah he is Tai, I only wish the other originals other then TK could see his good heart and how smart he is," Matt said, Tai sighed and knew why the others must dislike Davis. Davis was so much like he use to be at that age, he really liked the preteen but the others would dislike him for it.

 

      "You know we should have pancakes for lunch, I can make them too," Tai said, Matt raised an eyebrow.

 

      "Really, is that all?" Matt asked,Tai grinned evilly at Matt.

 

      "Oh, I can think of a few more things we can do when we get home," Tai said, he giggled and let himself be dragged hoome by his koi.
