Summary: While walking home one night, Davis and Veemon save a young woman who was being attacked by an evil Digimon. The girl is grateful to Davis for saving her, and the two begin a relationship. However, Ken and Yolei become certain that the girl is not what she seems.

Setting: About a week after the events of Digimon: Home by the Sea (specifically a week after T.K. and Kari meet Arthur Pierce).

Author's Note: This is the first sequel to my last Digimon story, Digimon: Home by the Sea. I decided that it would take more than one story to tell, so I'm making it a series I'm calling The Demon Crisis. Unfortunately T.K. and Kari will not be back until the final story. These first three will deal with other members of the Digidestined as they fight the members of the Seven Lords. This first story mostly deals with Davis, though Ken and Yolei play a big part in the story too.

I've had to give this story an M rating, because there's a scene in a future chapter that's a bit too much for a T. It's nothing intense mind you, and I'll warn you all when it's about to come up. But I felt that this future scene was a little necessary to the plot, so I felt I had no choice but to give this story an M rating. Like I said, I'll warn you all when this scene comes up, but be prepared.

One more thing I'd like to mention, this story, like my last one, was inspired by a song by Genesis. The song that inspired this story is called "The Lady Lies", and I've used it for the title of this first chapter. You don't have to listen to the song to know what's going on, but it can kind of tell you what the plot of this story is. Though I'm sure you'll all figure it out soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.


BOOK I-LUST

Chapter 1: "The Lady Lies"

The light of the morning sun shining through his bedroom window awakened Davis Motomiya. After sitting up in bed as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes he glanced at his alarm clock. The red display of the digital clock read 9:30 AM. At first Davis began to panic a bit, as he was worried that he would be late for his first class of the day. But then he remembered that it was Saturday, and did not have any classes that day. Nor did he have to work at his part-time job at that the nearby video store. Davis had the day off.

He was about to lie back down and get some extra sleep, but then decided to get up anyway. Davis had been trying to stay active since he had moved into his apartment. He had been trying to come out of a deep depression since the disappearance of his ex girlfriend, Kari Kamiya. Davis and Kari had started dating each other in high school, and when they started attending college they decided to share an apartment, despite the objections of Kari's older brother Tai. Life had been perfect, but then Davis screwed it up, big time.

Davis still wasn't quite sure how it had happened, but not long after he had moved in with Kari, he had felt restless. It was like he felt trapped, suffocated. Perhaps he and Kari had moved in together too soon, but Davis felt that he needed some space. Then one night Davis attended a party that a friend of his had invited him to. It was there at that party where Davis had met an attractive young woman with dark hair, blue eyes, and a dynamite body that sported a large bust.

This girl had noticed Davis at the party and came onto him right away. At first of course Davis resisted, but the girl did not seem to take no for an answer. Then after Davis had had more than a few drinks he gave in to the girl's advances. It was not what one would call a serious relationship, but it was wrong. Then in what was perhaps a slightly greater act of stupidity, Davis had taken the girl to back to the apartment that he and Kari had shared. The two were on the couch, and the girl had taken her shirt off when Kari finally walked in on them.

Kari had kicked Davis out after that, and he and his Digimon partner Veemon spent a week at the home of his friend Ken Ichijouji, which was also occupied by Ken's girlfriend Yolei Inoue. Once Davis had realized just how big of an idiot he had been, he crawled back to Kari on his hands and knees and begged her to take him back. Quite miraculously Kari took Davis back, and he realized just how lucky he was to have such a forgiving girlfriend. Life was good again, but then Davis's restlessness returned, and soon he found himself at another party, where he had more than a few drinks and ran into another attractive and very persistent girl. The next thing Davis knew, he had taken this girl back to the apartment where Kari found them with their tongues in each other's mouths.

Kari threw Davis out again, and again Davis spent a week at Ken and Yolei's place. But again Davis went back to beg Kari for another chance, and to his utter surprise Kari actually took him back. After that Davis was sure that he did not deserve Kari, and soon enough he proved himself right. Once again feeling restless, Davis went to another party, where he once again had a few too many drinks and ran into another girl who would not take no for an answer. This time ended a little differently though. Like the last two times Davis had taken the girl back to the apartment, but it had gone further than a make out session on the couch. He and the girl had ended up in bed together, and that was where Kari had found them.

That time was the last straw. Kari had kicked Davis out of them apartment for good, it was over between the two of them. So Davis went back to Ken and Yolei's with Veemon. A few days after that incident, Kari had disappeared without a trace. The rest of the Digidestined thought that perhaps some evil Digimon had kidnapped Kari, but they turned the entire Digital World upside-down and did not find her. Not long after the group gave up on the search, Davis had heard rumors at the college campus that Kari had perhaps killed herself.

As dark and unthinkable as that theory was, Davis actually believed it. He had noticed before his third and final screw up that something was bothering Kari, something more than the stress of college and the unpleasantness of her part-time job, and Kari would not talk about what it was. It seemed though that whatever was bothering Kari was becoming too much for her too handle, and Davis felt sure that his final act of infidelity had sent Kari over the edge. Feeling responsible for Kari's possible but unconfirmed death, Davis spiraled into a deep depression that caused him to just sit on Ken and Yolei's couch for a month. At the end of that month though, Veemon, along with Ken and Yolei's two Digimon, managed to snap Davis out of his depression somewhat by telling him that his constant presence was causing a huge strain on Ken and Yolei's relationship.

This caused Davis to take a good hard look at what he had become, and he did not want to screw up Ken and Yolei's relationship like he screwed up his own relationship with Kari. So Davis told the two that he was moving out. Fortunately Ken and Yolei had already found Davis an apartment for him to live. It was small and dirty, and the roof leaked a bit. But it was cheap and the landlord was generous. After that Davis started putting his life back together again. He had managed to get back into college and get his part-time job back. It was not easy, he still felt responsible for Kari's disappearance, but one day at a time he was getting better.

As Davis finished putting on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, he looked over at the still sleeping form of his Digimon partner Veemon. The small blue-green dragon-like creature with white belly and yellow V symbol on the forehead was in a small box by the door, a leg hanging over the side.

"Hey, Veemon!" Davis called, rousing the little Dragon Digimon from his sleep.

"Huh, Davis? What time is it?" Veemon asked drowsily.

"It's a little before 10:00 AM." Davis answered. "It's a Saturday though, so I don't have classes or anything. But I don't want to just sit around the house."

"What do you want to do then?" Veemon asked as he stood up in the box that he used for a bed.

"Well, my friend Koji got me these two tickets to a soccer game that's supposed to be this afternoon." Davis answered. "I was thinking that maybe we could go to that later. Before that though we could swing by Cody's place for a bit and then get a bite to eat."

"Sounds like a good plan to me." Veemon said cheerfully.

A few moments later, Davis and Veemon were outside the apartment building. Davis was not worried about people seeing him with Veemon, as the site of Digimon had become more commonplace in recent years. As the two walked, Davis accidentally bumped into an old woman with wild grey hair and wearing a brown shall over a black ratty looking dress.

"Oh, sorry ma'am." Davis apologized before walking on.

Before Davis could go very far though, the old woman firmly grabbed Davis by the wrist.

"You are doomed!" the old woman said as she stared at Davis with a pair of pale-blue eyes that seemed to have an almost unnatural icy quality to them.

"Lady, what's the matter with you?" Davis asked as he tried to free himself from the old woman's vice-like grip.

"She has come for you!" the old woman warned. "Lilith, the bride of Asmodeus has come to this world to make you her slave! She will feed on your desires and twist you to her will until you are crushed body and soul! Beware her, for though she is beautiful, she is truly death! And all who fall for her beauty and give in to their lust are led to ruin!"

Finally the old woman released her grip, and Davis and Veemon walked away from her as fast as they could.

"What was that about?" Veemon asked as he looked back.

"The old lady's nuts!" Davis exclaimed.

"You are doomed!" the old woman called after them as they crossed the street. "DOOMED!"


Later that evening, Davis and Veemon were walking back home. It had been a pleasant day. The soccer game had been particularly exciting, but all afternoon Davis could not get his encounter with the old woman out of his mind. He believed of course that the old woman was crazy, perhaps even on the run from the rest home, but there was still something about her that terrified Davis a little. Perhaps it was just the look in her icy-blue eyes, but Davis could not deny that the encounter had made him shudder.

As Davis and Veemon turned a corner they suddenly heard the scream of a young woman. Being the heroes that they were, the two ran off in the direction of the scream to help. In a nearby ally, Davis and Veemon saw a young woman being attacked by a creature that could only be a Digimon. It was a large muscular ogre-like creature with a large mouth, ice blue skin, and long wild white hair. A pair of crystalline spikes grew out of the creature's shoulders, and in its right claw it carried a giant shard of ice that it seemed to use as a club.

"That's a Hyogamon!" Veemon explained. "It's like in ice powered version of Ogremon!"

"So it's ice powered, huh?" Davis said with a smirk. "In that case we have just the way to beat it!"

With that Davis pulled a grey palm pilot like device out of the pocket of his denim jacket. This device was Davis's D-Terminal, the device used to house the Digi-Egg armor that was sometimes used to evolve Veemon. With a nod from Veemon, Davis fired up the device, causing his D-3, the device used to help Veemon evolve, to react.

"Veemon armor digivolve to… Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage!" Veemon cried as he started to glow with a red light and transform, his voice changing as he uttered his other name and title.

When the light cleared Veemon had transformed into a taller, armored form. The armor he wore had a flame design, and only covered his upper torso, upper legs, hands, feet, and face. The armor on Flamedramon's hands each only had three blades for fingers, giving the fire dragon pincer-like claws. The armor on his face, which was more like a mask, sported a long horn-like blade. Imediadtely after his transformation had finished, Flamedramon's body became completely covered in fire and he launched himself into the air at Hyogamon.

Unfortunately the ice ogre saw Flamdramon coming and erected a barrier of snow to block the attack, which vanished after the attack had hit. However, Flamedramon was now in between the girl and Hyogamon. Davis took the opportunity to run in front of the girl and become a shield if necessary.

"Don't worry, it's going to be okay." Davis said to the girl reassuringly.

Meanwhile, Hyogamon swung at Flamedramon with his ice shard, but the fire dragon caught the shard with his claw and melted it was a blast of flames.

"Flame Fist!" Flamedramon cried as his other claw lit on fire.

The fire dragon pounded the flaming claw into Hyogamon's stomach with an incredible amount of force. The ice ogre roared in pain before dissolving into particles of data that evaporated into the air. With Hyogamon destroyed, Flamedramon reverted back into Veemon. Meanwhile Davis turned to check on the girl that Hyogamon had attacked.

"Are you okay?" Davis asked the girl.

Now that Davis had gotten a chance to get a close look at the girl, he noticed just how beautiful she was. She had long blond hair and a pair of the most captivating green eyes that Davis had ever seen. The girl's outfit consisted of a purple skirt that ended way above the knee, and a tight black low-cut shirt that showed off her ample clevage.

"Uh, I'm fine." The girl finally answered sounding a little shaken up. "You have a Digimon too?"

"Yeah, um, I'm Davis." Replied the brown haired Digidestined, introducing himself. "You've kinda already met Veemon. Wait, are you a Digidestined too?"

"Yes, I am." The girl replied. "My name is Lily Modo, by the way."

"If you have a Digimon, then where is it?" Davis asked sounding a little confused.

"Lily!" a high female voice called as if on cue.

Turning into the ally to join the group was a large black cat that walked on its hind legs. On its front paws were a pair of purple gloves, and a series of purple stripes ran down its tail. The end of the cat's tail and the tops of its ears ended in tufts of purple fur. Both Davis and Veemon were greatly surprised to see a Digimon that looked like Kari's Digimon partner.

"G-Gatomon?" a startled Veemon asked as he blinked a few times to make sure that he wasn't seeing things.

"Close silly." The black cat Digimon laughed. "I'm BlackGatomon."

"Are you Lily's partner?" Davis asked.

"Yes I am." BlackGatomon replied before turning to her human partner. "Are you okay Lily?"

"I'm fine BlackGatomon, nothing to worry about now." Lily said reassuringly.

"I only stepped away for a few minutes, what happened?" BlackGatomon asked.

"I was attacked by an evil Digimon, but this young man and his Digimon friend saved me." Lily explained.

"Really?" BlackGatomon said with a tone of intrigue as she walked over to Veemon. "You must be a strong Digimon. I thank you for saving Lily."

"Well, it was nothing." Veemon said modestly as he rubbed the back of his head. "I wouldn't have been able to fight that Digimon if I didn't have Davis."

"Uh, Lily? Maybe you and BlackGatomon should go home." Davis suggested.

"Well, I'd like to, but we live real far away from here, and after that attack I'm a little scared to go all the way back. Even though I have BlackGatomon with me." Lily said in a slightly frightened tone. "Do you think that we could stay the night at your place? We don't take up much room."

"I, uh, I guess so." Davis said nervously. "I mean there isn't much room at my place, but I guess the two of you could stay on the couch."

"Really?" Lily asked, her eyes brightening a bit.

"Yeah, it's fine." Davis said as he began to blush a little.

"Yay! Thank you so much." Lily said gleefully as she hugged Davis, causing him to blush even more.

A few moments Later the group had arrived at the apartment. Lily was clinging tightly to Davis's arm as they entered.

"Sorry that it's not much to look at." Davis said as Lily looked around the dismal apartment. "Well, there's the couch so if you wanted to get go ahead and get some sleep or something…"

Before Davis could finish his sentence, Lily pulled Davis over to the couch and the two sat down. The two Digimon walked in a moment later, closing the door behind them. A sort of mischievous smile appeared on BlackGatomon's face when she saw Davis and Lily on the couch.

"Hey Veemon, is there a way up onto the roof?" BlackGatomon asked Veemon as she stared at him with her large yellow eyes that suddenly seemed to be glowing.

"Uh, yeah." Veemon replied as he found himself mesmerized by the feline Digimon's stare. "Follow me."

With that Veemon led BlackGatomon out through the large window by the couch and the two Digimon went up the fire escape to the roof, leaving Davis and Lily alone.

"So… you, uh, want to watch T.V. or something?" Davis asked nervously.

Suddenly Lily positioned herself on top of Davis, pinning him to where he was sitting on the couch.

"I want to thank you for saving me." Lily said in a seductive tone.

"Oh, uh, it was nothing." Davis said has the blood rushed to his face.

"Regardless I want to thank you in the best way I know how." Lily said as she leaned her face in closer to Davis's.

Davis suddenly found himself staring deeply into Lily's green eyes. He found that they had captivating quality, almost like they were glowing, but they were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. Soon enough Lily started kissing Davis firmly on the lips, and Davis quickly gave in. It was not long before their tongues became intertwined. Davis was simply blown away by the things that Lily's tongue seemed to be doing, things that were indescribable, but unbelievably pleasurable.

At last the two broke for air, but immediately Lily began kissing Davis on the neck. The touch of her lips seemed to send waves of pleasure throughout his entire body. Davis could not comprehend how this was happening, but he gone far passed caring, as he had been taken to the heights of pure ecstasy. All time seemed to stop as Lily continued sucking on Davis's neck. Then Davis felt Lily's hand touch his crotch, and all reality was blotted out by a vortex of ecstasy and delight.


Davis woke up on the couch the next morning feeling like he had run a marathon the previous day. The morning sun was still shining through the large living room window. As he slowly sat up on the couch, Davis tried to remember just what happened after Lily began kissing him, but found that those memories had escaped him. He vaguely recalled Lily starting to kiss his neck, but after that he drew a blank. A part of Davis desperately wanted to remember what had happened, but at the same time he for some reason felt that remembering would be too terrifying.

One thing was clear to Davis though; Lily was no longer in the apartment. Neither was BlackGatomon. It seemed that the two had left sometime before Davis woke up. Davis looked at the clock over the T.V. in the corner of the room; it read 10:43 AM. He remembered that it was Sunday and did not have to be anywhere, but it was uncommon for even Davis to sleep in so late. That along with the memory loss troubled Davis somewhat. A moment later Veemon walked into the room, covering his mouth as he yawned.

"Good morning Davis." Veemon said drowsily.

"Morning Veemon." Davis greeted back. "Hey, when did Lily and BlackGatomon leave? I thought that they were going to stay the whole night. Come to think about it, what did you and BlackGatomon do last night?"

"Well let me see…" Veemon said as he scratched his chin in thought. "Well, BlackGatomon spent most of the time talking about the moon or something. Then after awhile we went back inside. You were asleep on the couch, and… I think I just went to bed. I don't remember much about Lily and BlackGatomon leaving."

"Weird…" Davis commented as he thought it odd that Veemon did not have much memory of the previous night either.

"I'll tell you one thing though Davis." Veemon continued. "I sure wouldn't mind seeing BlackGatomon again. I mean she's kinda weird but… there's just something about her. You know what I mean Davis?"

"Actually… I kinda do." Davis replied as he thought about Lily, for while he found that there was something very strange about her, he found that he desperately wanted to see her again.


Author's Note: I think it's pretty obvious who "Lily" actually is. By the way, Lily's last name, Modo, is an abbreviation of the name Asmodeus used by William Shakespeare, so that's another big hint. In case you were wondering, I did a bit of research when planning this story. I even printed out some stuff for reference for writing the future chapters. Around the Middle Ages, the figures of Lilith and Asmodeus became closely associated with each other, which was not surprising since they were both said to be the personification of Lust.

Anyway, these myths have sort of influenced the development of this story. Particularly the development of Lilithmon's character. If you'd like to learn more about these mythological figures, consult your local library. Or you could just check out Wikipedia like I did. Although the information at a library is probably more reliable.

Review and let me know what you think.
