Hello dear fanfiction readers. I recently gave 01 and 02 a rewatch and now I cant seem to get it out of my headspace. My apologies if any of this opening is rough, beginnings are hard for me.

"Hi there, my name is Daisuke Motomiya, call me Davis though. I've been thinking of what to call this so as to sugar coat it or something but… that would belie the truth. So I guess I'm ready to tell my story, specifically though this is the story of how I died."

When one goggle-head exits, another enters

It was the first day of august, summer break swiftly coming to a close and there I was on a grocery run. Sometimes I wondered if my mom held anything sacred, but in the long run anything to keep Jun, my sister, off of my back was a good thing back then.

So there I was riding my bike down the street when I saw something that I couldn't really believe I was seeing. Giant portal in the sky is one thing, my mentor/idol Taichi Kamiya flying into it like it was nothing is another entirely. So of course being just like my goggle headed teacher I go straight over to where it happened.

Standing there on the sidewalk was my friend, Hikari Kamiya. She insisted that her friends call her Kari though; she thought her actual name was far too flowery and formal for everyday use. She was looking up to where Tai had been floating and looked to be crying softly. My first thought was to go and cheer up Kari, while my second had been something about the fact that I clearly had not been hallucinating what I saw. She seemed to notice me a little bit before I got to her cause she tried to hurriedly wipe away the tears on her face.

"Hey Davis," Kari said as I walked up to her, "What're you doing around here?" It wasn't till then that I had properly looked at her. She was wearing her pajamas still and last I had known she was sick, so I figured I ought to see if I could help out for a bit.

"Well I was on a shopping trip, just grabbing some dry stuff, but then I could have sworn I saw Tai flying in the sky so I ran over here. But all I found was you, on that note is there anything I can do for you oh great pajama'd one?" I said while performing a mock bow which elicited a giggle from Kari apparently leaving behind whatever sadness she had when he arrived.

"You could always walk me home like a good knight in khaki shorts." To that we both started laughing shortly before I agreed, which was then followed up by Kari hopping on my bike. "Good, now make like the horse of my carriage and mush!"

"Alright my lady." With that I started walking and caught up with her, it had been a solid week since we last had hung out and that meant that we had hours' worth of talking to do, a good majority of it spent with me complaining about my sister. It's not like I hated my sister or anything, I just needed some time to decompress every now and again. Kari was special like that, she never seemed bothered by it and more than often gave advice for how to better deal with my thorny sister. More than I could say about any of my soccer buddies back then.

Back to the story proper, it wasn't long before we made it to her house, just had to lock my bike up and everything before we took the elevator up. Then we walked all the way down the hall, well almost all the way theirs was the second apartment from the wall. Finally we stopped infront of the Kamiya residence. Kari thanked me as she opened the door, but then she suddenly stopped. After a serious pause she turned and asked me something.

"You said you saw Tai flying right?" I nodded shortly after she asked. I didn't recognize it back then but she bit her lip in that way people do when they wanna say something but aren't sure they should. Thankfully it was Kari and she didn't take long to make up her mind. With one final sigh she asked the question that would completely change the trajectory of my life.

"How much do you know about a place called Highton View Terrace?"

My apologies for the short introductory chapter, I wasn't quite sure how to do it exactly. But now that its done I don't think there is a better way to do it for the story im making.

Before anyone asks no this story is not going to be Daikari, yes I ship it but they are like… 8. Now if/when I get around to 02 all restrictions are off so who knows.

In any case if there are questions leave a review, I would be happy to answer.
