Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. If I did, I would be sitting around in Hawaii ordering drinks and hitting on girls rather than sitting in my room and writing this story.
Author Comments: Hello and welcome to my newest fic! This one will mainly be a Daisuke fanfic. However, the said character WILL be OOC. You will be able to realize why while reading the story. The other Chosen Children won't get that much screen time, at least for the first couple of chapters. But I will focus mainly on Daisuke. He is not really my favorite character but I just pictured this kind of plot with him. This is a remastered version of an earlier fanfiction I made previously, with the same title, Lost. Most of the content for the first seven-eight chapters will remain the same, a few changes at best.
Summary: After two specific incidents, Daisuke is left alone by his friends. He feels lost and so he decided to run away and go to the Digital World to find answers to his problems. However, he will find more than answers there.
A car shrieking. A man's yell. A loud crash. A voice of worry. And finally, the boy's scream.
These events were flashing through Daisuke's mind as he sitting down at the hospital corridor. In just a matter of seconds, his whole life had changed for the worse. He was staring down at the floor, but not really looking at it. His mind only showed the face of his mother covered in blood. A door opened and a couple of doctors emerged from it. Daisuke jumped and ran towards them. He looked at them, waiting for an answer.
"I am sorry. She didn't make it."
Daisuke's mind went blank. The aged doctor patted him at his shoulder but the boy didn't felt it or saw it. Tears were swelling at his face. Before the doctors could stop him, he ran away, trying to get away from the harsh reality. He bumped into his father. The man looked like he was much older than before, although he was still really young. He hugged his son as tight as he could, as the boy was crying at his shoulder. Jun hugged them both, the family crying to relief their grief.
When they got home, each of them went to their respective rooms. Daisuke reached his own and turned the handle. Chibimon was eagerly waiting for him and jumped to his lap.
"About time Daisuke! I am really hung.. Daisuke? Daisuke! What's wrong Daisuke?"
Daisuke fell to the floor, more tears coming down his face. Chibimon could only watch, not knowing what to do.
LOST
Daisuke looked at the clock. It was 7.00. He got up from bed and slowly got dressed. He didn't sleep all night. Chibimon also didn't sleep, trying to console Daisuke. The young boy didn't say anything during that time, his eyes just gazing the ceiling blank. After he dressed, he stuffed Chibimon to his backpack and head downstairs. His father and sister weren't at the kitchen or the living room as they usually were this hour. Daisuke couldn't blame them. Himself he just wanted to sit at home but he knew he couldn't free himself from the terrible sensation so he decided to go to school instead. He opened the door and slipped in his shoes. His gaze stopped at her shoes. Feeling more tears forming up, he wiped them quickly.
"Daisuke…" Chibimon's voice was heard. Daisuke turned his attention to the blue creature sitting at his backpack.
"Don't mention this to the others." he said. His voice was hollow. Chibimon nodded and Daisuke finally left the house. Although he left really early, he only reached school just five minutes before the chime rang. While he was crossing the school gate, a ball hit him in the face, almost knocking him down.
"Sorry Daisuke! Toss me the ball pal!" a member of the football team called. Daisuke looked at the ball near his legs. He made a move like he was about to kick it, but then he leapt down and lifted it with his hands. He tossed it back and left without a word. His mind was still blank and not functioning well.
He reached the classroom and sat down to his desk, barely even noticing the calls from his classmates. After some while, Hikari entered the classroom with Takeru. They spotted Daisuke and walked towards him.
"Good morning Daisuke-kun." said Hikari with a smile. Daisuke didn't realize that she was there at first. When he did, he jumped in surprise and forced a smile on his face.
"Ah, good morning Hikari-chan!" he said, his voice still hollow.
"You all right Daisuke-kun?" asked with worry Daisuke. The later gave a bigger smile.
"Yeah, I just caught a cold, that's all! I sound terrible huh? Don't worry, I will be better in no time!" said Daisuke at once, laughing even though he didn't feel like it.
"Go away. Please, just go away!"
"Really? You should look after yourself Daisuke-kun." said Hikari.
"Yeah, sorry for making you worry! Just go away!"
"By the way, Koushiro-san said he found out a really strange place. We were thinking that we should go there to check it out. Since Kaiser is out, we should check around to see if everything is all right." said Takeru.
Hikari was about to say something as well but thankfully the teacher came in. They all sat down as the teacher was calling out their names. Then he started the lesson. Daisuke didn't even take out his book. His mind was still blank.
"Motomiya! What are you doing staring like an idiot? Get your book out right now!" roared the teacher to Daisuke. The boy jumped. He looked around to spot an angry teacher leering at him. He just remembered that he was in class. He heard the class laugh at him but he didn't care. As he was about to open his bag, the door opened again. The principal had come in.
"Daisuke-kun, can I talk to you for a while? You don't mind do you sensei?" said the principal.
"Not at all principal." Daisuke stood up, feeling all eyes on him. He picked up his backpack and left with principal Ashiro. Ashiro looked with worry and sympathy at the boy as he lead him to his office. Daisuke vaguely remembered that every time he would go at the principal's office, he would be in trouble. Ashiro opened the door. "Sit Daisuke-kun." said the kind aged man. Daisuke did so. When he did, he spotted a picture of the principal's family. The daughter had bright green eyes, just like his mother.
Before he could stop them, Daisuke felt tears coming down his face. He tried to wipe them but more tears would show up. He clenched his fists, grabbing tight his clothes, trying his best not to scream. The principal said nothing about all that. He sat across the boy.
"I heard what happened from your father. My condole censes. Do you want to leave today? There won't be any problem about your absence. I will explain it to your teacher." said kindly Ashiro. Daisuke shook his head. His face was still in tears. The old man's gaze was sympathetic. After a while, he was excused.
Before he realized it, the lessons were over. Daisuke found himself standing at the computer room, the group waiting for Iori to arrive. Chibimon was looking at Daisuke with a worried look on his face but said nothing, just like he promised. Soon Iori arrived and Takeru started explaining about what Koushiro had found.
"Well, it's weird. So far we knew about black areas but we never heard anything about red areas. Koushiro found a red area last night and called me to tell me about it. I don't know what that could mean, but there is one way to find out, right?"
"Right! Let's go then! Digital Gate open! Let's rock, Chosen Children!" yelled with enthusiasm Miyako as she and her friends were sucked to the TV and towards the Digital World.
The area where they arrived didn't look suspicious at first glance. It looked just the same as the other areas. The children spotted a Black Tower and head towards it. Since there was no fear of Digimon Kaiser of Chimeramon, they were all chatting happily except Daisuke. He didn't paid attention to anything that was said, just aimlessly walking behind them. Tailmon was the first to look back to see him in that state.
"What's wrong Daisuke?" she asked. Daisuke looked in front of him. All eyes were on him. He opened his mouth but the moment he did a blast was heard just behind him, knocking him down.
"What's that?" said Hikari.
"It's DarkTyrannomon!" roared Patamon.
Digimon Analyzer
DarkTyrannomon! An alternate species of Tyrannomon, Adult, Virus! Its special attack is Dark Fire Breath!
Daisuke lied down for a second before forcing himself up. V-mon helped him get up and they turned to face their new enemy.
"It doesn't have an Evil Ring or an Evil Spiral!" noticed Iori.
"Well, we should get away for now!" proposed Takeru and all agreed. All besides Daisuke. A rage that he had never felt before suddenly filled him up. He looked at DarkTyrannomon and his eyes were so deadly, the huge Digimon backed down but then let out a roar and stepped forwards. Daisuke without thinking pulled out his D3. Then he ran towards his enemy, not caring what would happen to him.
"Daisuke!" yelled V-mon and rushed behind him. The others called Daisuke back but he didn't listen to them. He pulled out his terminal as well.
"DIGIMENTAL UP!" he roared, the Digimental of Courage showing up.
"V-mon! Armor Shinka… Burning Courage, Fladramon!" called Veemon as it changed to all too familiar form of Fladramon. Fladramon jumped in front of Daisuke, ready to protect his friend by any attack. Sure enough, DarkTyrannomon took a deep breath and then it fired a fireball at him. Fladramon jumped right at it, using his Fire Rocket to intercept it. He successfully did it, also hitting DarkTyrannomon in the process. The other Chosen Children rushed to Daisuke's side.
"Daisuke-kun! We must get away from here, now!" roared Takeru. Daisuke ignored him. When Takeru repeat himself and shook him, Daisuke turned and punched him hard in the face. Everybody was taken aback from this. Daisuke turned to Fladramon.
"KILL HIM! KILL HIM FLADRAMON!" he yelled. Hikari jumped in front of Fladramon. Not that it was needed though. Fladramon chose not to follow that order.
"I won't. This isn't you Daisuke." said calmly Fladramon.
"This is me! Now kill him! He attacked first, didn't he? He tried to kill us didn't he? What's stopping us then? We should kill him now, before he hurts someone!" yelled Daisuke at the top of his voice.
"I won't." repeated Fladramon. He was keeping an eye for DarkTyrannomon but he didn't move an inch. The black Digimon took advantage of this. After all, a meal right in front of him. Why not take it? With that thought, DarkTyrannomon lunged at Hikari, its big jaw opening up. Tailmon and Fladramon jumped at the black Digimon, pushing him back the very last second. However, DarkTyrannomon had managed to scratch Hikari in her arm. Tailmon evolved to Nefertimon and fought DarkTyrannomon. The large dino Digimon had to retreat for now.
"HIKARI-CHAN!" roared Takeru and ran near her. He knelt besides her, inspecting the wound. Thankfully, it wasn't deep. Just a scratch. However, his anger built up and rose to face Daisuke.
"What the hell were you thinking? Hikari-chan might had died there!" he yelled at Daisuke. The later didn't reply. Takeru clenched his fist and punched him, as Daisuke did moments ago. Daisuke quickly recovered and stood up and eagerly jumped into the fight. Iori and Miyako also jumped towards them, but to stop them and separate them.
"Stop both of you!"
"Calm down Daisuke-san!"
Hikari reached Daisuke and slapped him hard in the face. That hit, although much weaker than Takeru's punches hurt him more.
"I hate you. Leaving your rash actions behind, why did you hit Takeru? The least you can do is to apologise." said with disgust Hikari. Daisuke was first at a loss of words. They didn't understood… None of them did. V-mon stepped in front.
"Guys… Daisuke didn't mean it! He just.. He just!"
"Don't try and apologise for him V-mon! Daisuke acted rashly and he almost made Hikari get killed!" roared Tailmon.
"But.. Daisuke!"
"Shut up V-mon!" yelled Daisuke. Another slap from Hikari.
"Don't yell to V-mon like that!"
Daisuke finally broke. He ran away from and towards the TV. V-mon followed him. Both were sucked inside the TV and back to the human world.
"Daisuke-kun!" called after Hikari but Daisuke had already left. They all rushed after him but when they reached the computer room Daisuke had already left.
"I can't believe him! He is a complete idiot!" yelled Miyako.
"There must be a reason for this… Daisuke-san would never do something like this without one." said Iori.
"I doubt the idiot had one! He just wanted to act cool in front of Hikari again! We are better off without him, I tell you!" continued Miyako.
"We will confort him tommorow. Let's get home now." quickly said Takeru. They all nodded and they left. Daisuke who was hiding all this time had heard all the conversation. He felt disgust with himself. He put his friends into danger, he fought with Takeru and Hikari now hated him… Chibimon was besides him and jumped to his lap. Daisuke hugged the small Digimon, once more tears coming down his face.
Later that night, Daisuke slipped by the door quietly. He left a letter to his father and Jun, saying he would be staying over at a friend's house for a while. But of course, he had no such place. He made his decision after he left the computer room. He would head to the Digital World to stay for the time of being. He wanted to be away from anything and anyone for some time. But of course, Chibimon was right next to him. Daisuke didn't know whether that was a relief or a burden. No matter though, he still felt gratitude to Chibimon. He was the only friend Daisuke had left.
He reached the computer room moments later. He opened up a Digital Gate, he didn't really pay attention to where he was going and then he and Chibimon were sucked inside.
When Daisuke looked around, he realized that he was at the area where he first met V-mon. A faint smile formed on his face when he remembered how he and his Digimon had met. He walked towards the cave where he pulled out the Digimental of Courage. V-mon of course was walking with him.
After Hikari had reached her house, she burst into a rant at Taichi, about Daisuke's behavior. Her brother listened to her and then sighed.
"Well, I can't say he was right, but he had a reason for acting like this." said Taichi.
"No he didn't!"
"Yamato just called me. Jun was with him and told him something terrible. Daisuke's mother was killed by a drunk driver. Just yesterday." explained Taichi. Hikari brought her hands at her mouth, gasping. Tailmon lowered her head. Although it was true that Daisuke wasn't right about what he did, they also didn't consider his feelings or question his behavior. She remembered that Daisuke was down but before the boy could explain, DarkTyrannomon had attacked them.
"I… I didn't know…" said Hikari.
"I know you didn't. Listen, I know it's hard, but don't tell Daisuke about anything. He will tell you when he feels ready to do so." said Taichi. Hikari nodded. But she did have to apologise to him.
"Sorry for making you come with me V-mon." said Daisuke after a while.
"Hey, no biggy! I am your Digimon Daisuke and your friend! Where you go I go!" said V-mon and smiled to Daisuke. The boy also smiled, a true smile after all that happened.
Although he was lost, he still had one good friend that would never betray him. V-mon would never leave Daisuke. He would stay with him till the end. Daisuke looked around. His decision, although rash, it felt like the correct one. He wanted some time to think, he wanted some time to get over his grief. Daisuke casted a look at the blue Digimon besides him.
But he wasn't alone. That was an encouragement.
Author Comments: Well, I can't say I don't feel sorry for the guy. I really am. Well, next chapter Daisuke and V-mon will face some troubles, that's for sure. After all, they are in the Digital World, aren't they? Stay tuned for chapter two! If you can leave a review, it would make me really happy!
