DISCLAIMER: Hello there to everyone who is still reading this fic. I know I kind of abandon it for a while. /someone shouting 'It's been more than 9 months.'/ Ah, right. Sorry about that. Since 'never' ficcy here was the first fanfiction I wrote, even before I was into yaoi /boylove, I just wanted to put the yaoi parts in another fic so that this fic would still clean. Later on I was too into yaoi to write it. My fault, I know. I also want to thank everyone who still waits for. And I'm so grateful of all reviews I got. Special thank to Black Rogue, steve, redrose, LadyK Na-No-Da, digimon crazy, and Dancing Kitsune.

I rewrite this fic a bit and change the name from 'Never saw him give up' to 'Light'. Don't ask why. Just feel like it. any comment is welcome.

Here you go!

If you ask me, have I ever seen a hero before? Then let me show you.

Light :1

I could still remember.

It was a fine day. The sky was clear. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold. And nothing you unexpected would happen, you thought.

Well, you didn't know that.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the soccer match between Odaiba high school and M. technic high school. Look at the sky. Such a beautiful thing for this special day, isn't it? You know guys; the winner of the two will be able to play in the final match next month…"

The announcer spoke cheerfully and loudly, so everybody at the stadium could hear. They had been yelling and cheering. The game would start soon.

"We got to hurry. We're almost late." I said worriedly. We had run for 30 minutes and now we were about to reach the stadium.

"We wouldn't, Daisuke, if you woke up earlier." said Miyako tiredly after having to run in a hurry, gasping for breath.

"Shut up!"

"Come on, you two stop that. Let's find the others. They should have come here a while ago."

"Takeru's right. I hope they cover seats for us." Iori said and looked around.

"…. After waiting for a long time and now…here they go!" Everyone screamed like a boom was dropped in the place. "There come M. technic high school in white and Odaiba high school in red. Let's see who plays today. The player from M. technic high school no.1 is…"

"It's starting!" I alarmed.

"Hey! Over here!"

"Look! It's Hikari." Shout Miyako, pointing at the waving girl.

"And everybody!" Poromon said happily.

We hurriedly walked down the step to the seat where our friends sat. It seemed like we were the lasts of us to come (Mimi wasn't here. She had still lived in America). We greeted 'HI' to each other. I managed myself to sit next to Ken and Hikari-chan and put Chibimon between my legs. Miyako, Iori and Takeru followed and sat at the back.

Hikari-chan and Tailmon smiled at us, a digital video camera in Hikari's hand, holing up to her face.

"What are you doing?" I asked, surprised as I stared at the camera. I could see my own reflection.

"Recording a video, you know. Mom and dad couldn't come though they really wanted to since they have to work. That's why I think I will make the video, so they can watch at home."

"Where did you get that video camera from, Hikari-San?" Iori questioned.

"From her family as a Christmas's gift last year. You're the third who asks." answered Tailmon with a grin. Hikari-chan had turned to Iori and turned around to whoever one of us speaking.

"Could you copy the tapes to me, too? For this and next match." I asked hopefully. Everyone stared at me and blinked.

"What?"

"Nothing, Daisuke. Just…you seem so sure that we will come to next soccer match." Sora-san said, a smile on her face.

"Why not? Sure we will, won't we? Odaiba high school will win and become the champion."

"I don't know, Daisuke. M. technic high school is not easy to defeat." said Ken, considering.

"They're not; however, we will not lose anyway." I mean it. I told them joyously. I knew they believed that so as well.

The list of M.technic high school was being read. We ignored, really didn't care nor paid much attention.

"Who's that?" asked Upamon. He pointed his liked-wing at the man with a cap and glasses who sat between Sora on the left and Jyou on the right he noticed. Takeru sat next to Jyou.

"It's me." Yamato replied. He took his glasses off a bit, so we could see his blue eyes.

Takeru grinned. "Hi nii-chan. Trying to hide from your fan-girls?"

"You bet." He smiled back. "I want to be free and enjoy the game today. I need no disturbance."

"By the way, what took you so long?" Jyou-san asked.

"Well, someone here woke up late this morning." explained Miyako with a sigh.

"I didn't! I just couldn't find my outfit and it took time…"

"To realize that you were wearing them." She added. Everyone laughed and I felt my cheeks a bit warmer. Ken clapped on my shoulder to cheer me up, but he still giggled, along with Wormon on his lab. Hikari-chan had bent over our direction and recorded the tape, for some funny moment, I supposed.

"Hey," Patamon, in Takeru's hold, changed the conversation. "How long have you been here?"

"About 2 hours ago. You know, we have to find the best place if we want to see the game clearly." answered Koushirou sampai, with his laptop on his lab, handing our digimon a bag of snacks. They garbed ones of their own and started eating entertainingly.

Surely as he said, ours seats were near the field, almost the closest but 2 steps up.

"And the player from Odaiba high school no.1 is…"

"Look! They're coming!" Chibimon said after finishing his first chocolate bar. We looked at the field. There they came. The announcer read the list of Odaiba high school soccer player. I listened to intentionally until the name…

"No. 10, captain of Odaiba high school, Yagami Taichi…"

We cheered louder and longer than anyone did as Taichi sampai went to file with his teammates.

"Taichi-san/ nii-chan!" we (also digimons) called aloud, hoping he could hear us.

And he did. He looked up at our direction, grinning and waving his hand lightly. Then he stared back to captain of M. technic high school and the referee, standing next to them.

The referee tossed a coin and covered his hand. I saw Taichi and other captain (His name's Okura Tsuya, Ken told me) open their mouths and shut. The referee showed the coin, then the other team began to run to the left side of field. Taichi and one of his mates (no.9) were in the middle field. No.9 kicked the ball to Taichi.

Game started.
