A/N: So its been a while and some might even be surprise since my last update to this story was three years ago. Anyways as mentioned on my profile I am rewriting this story to hopefully make it better since its apparently my best story in this site (although I did this when I was a beginner) so for everyone's reading pleasure I give you Wolf's Fang: Revised. One last thing, I'll be using the children's Japanese names from now on which means its no longer Davis, Kari, Yolei, TK, and Cody, but Daisuke, Hikari, Miyako, Takeru, and Iori. Ken is Ken in both English and Japanese.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon only this plot.
Chapter One: Melody
Daisuke was pacing back and forth in his room. DemiVeemon quietly watched his partner, it was amusing.
Since the defeat of MaloMyotismon, thus saving the world, the young goggle-boy's confidence skyrocketed. He tackled every challenge with a smile on his face, laughed off his troubles and even concentrated more in school. Everyone was impressed with (the new?) Daisuke; he was the picture of a strong leader, nothing worried him anymore.
"I'm worried, DemiVeemon."
The little blue creature tried to hide the tiny grin forming on his face, "What's wrong, Daisuke?"
"I told you already DemiVeemon." Daisuke replied continuing his pacing.
"Daisuke I'm coming in!" a voice shouted from outside Daisuke's room followed by the turning of a knob and a creaking noise, "Oh Daisuke look at this mess! I can't see the floor."
Daisuke stopped to look at his mother who was carrying a plate of cookies in one hand while resting her other hand on her hip. His eyes widen and a smile formed around his face, "Those cookies look great mom!"
Before his hand could reach the chocolate chip cookies, Mrs. Motomiya turned the plate away from her son. "These are not for you, they are for Vee."
At hearing the embarrassing (in Daisuke's opinion) nickname, DemiVeemon cheered jumping up and down from Daisuke's bed. Mrs. Motomiya placed the plate in front of DemiVeemon, maneuvering through the sea of clothes which was her son's floor.
DemiVeemon happily munched on his cookie, Mrs. Motomiya pet him while commenting on how adorable and cute he was. Daisuke watched with annoyance, his mom obsessed over his partner too much sometimes because he was her one weakness. DemiVeemon was cute, like a stuff toyed, only that it could interact.
"Daisuke clean up this mess, you can hardly walk in here," Mrs. Motomiya stared at her son with a small grin on her face, "Now what has my little hero all worried?"
Said 'hero' turned away from his mom, "I'm not worried."
Daisuke reached into his pocket pulling out a golden necklace. He raised it at eye level, a small fang with a golden tip hung from the necklace. "Its been so long, a lot has changed and I'm not the same person I was…maybe she won't recognize me or even remember-"
"Aww Vee, you're so cute! You want a glass of milk?" Mrs. Motomiya nearly squealed. Daisuke's eye twitched.
"Mom! You're not paying attention!" Daisuke glared with a big frown on his face.
"You just have cold feet, suck it up and be a man." Mrs. Motomiya pet DemiVeemon one last time before rising to leave her son's room.
"You're a great motivator mom," Daisuke sighed putting the necklace back into his pocket.
A genuine smile crossed his mother's face as she glanced at her son, "You don't have to worry. You two were best friends, now I've talked to that little lady and her feelings for you have not changed."
"Her feelings?" he questioned looking lost. "What do you mean?"
She merely winked, her smile turning into a grin which made him all the more nervous. Closing the door behind her, Daisuke was left dumbfounded.
DemiVeemon jumped off the bed deciding to follow after his partner's mother, maybe she would bake him another tray of cookies. "You should clean this place up. School starts tomorrow."
Daisuke glared after his partner until he exited the room. He ruffled his hair in frustration, "They're right! Why am I worrying?" plopping into his bed, Daisuke took out the golden necklace once more watching the small fang's golden tip shine in the light.
"'Let's meet again', right? That was our promise."
0000000000
Daisuke arrived at school early; it was the first day of Middle School and it was also the day he would meet her after four years.
The young middle-schooler continued to play with his new uniform. He buttoned and unbuttoned his new green blazer having already ditched the black tie and unbuttoning the collar of his shirt which was untucked.
He didn't want to be a Taichi clone, but he understood why his sempai would change the school's attire, the clothes were uncomfortable.
Finally deciding to stay with his blazer open, Daisuke looked around the empty field. His anxiety from the previous day caused him to wake up early and arrived at school sooner than he would. It felt deserted only the really school lovers would take their time to wake up this early and frankly he felt like a poser.
"Good morning Daisuke-san, it's a surprise to see you so early."
Daisuke turned around at the indication of his name, "Good morning, Iori. Yeah I'm surprised too."
"Hey Daisuke-kun! Iori-kun!"
Both boys recognized that voice and replied with a, "Takeru/Takeru-san!"
Takeru approached his friends, he was wearing the same middle school uniform as Daisuke except his green blazer was button and his collar shirt tucked in. However, his collar was undone like his friends.
"Daisuke-kun, this is a surprise." Takeru cheerfully laughed, "usually you're always late."
"Hey, not all the time!" Daisuke rebutted, "today's just a very important day."
Iori nodded. "The school entrance ceremony."
"That's right! We can't be late to that," Takeru agreed, "Iori-kun, shouldn't you be heading back to the Elementary School?"
"Yes, thank you. I was hoping to see everyone before going back, but I don't want to be late." Iori bowed to his friends, "please tell Miyako-san and Hikari-san that I said hello."
Daisuke and Takeru waved as the youngest among them returned to Odaiba Elementary School. Takeru turned to face Daisuke.
"So what's so important? Planning on asking Hikari-chan out?" Takeru grinned playfully.
Daisuked snorted. "You know I've giving up on Hikari-chan. Its enough that we're good friends, I couldn't ask for more."
"Are you sure about that?" Takeru questioned stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"Yeah…besides," Daisuke stared at the golden necklace in his hands. "My mind is on something else."
The young blonde teen stared at their group's leader; he looked excited, anxious even, but about what? School? That's very unlikely.
"Takeru-kun! Daisuke-kun!"
"Miyako-san! Hikari-chan, you girls made it," Takeru waved at the two girls wearing green sailor outfits with long sleeves.
Miyako was tall as ever; she still wore her blue bandanna and glasses. However, the design of her glasses changed from giant circles to regular glasses with sharp edges that looked like fox eyes. The glasses were silver-framed.
"Long time no see Takeru-kun~!" she smiled brightly. Her greeting to their goggle-boy was less cheerful, "Oh well hello Daisuke-kun."
"With those glasses you look like those company presidents that go, 'OHOHOHO, so sorry m'dear!'" Daisuke childishly stuck his tongue at her.
"Why you little goggle-wearing-!"
Before another famous 'Daisuke vs. Miyako' battles broke out, Hikari stepped in between her friends with a cheerful smile on her face. "Ohayo, Daisuke-kun."
"O-Ohayo, Hikari-chan," Daisuke blushed slightly rubbing the back of his head, a trait he recently picked up, "T-That middle-schooler uniform looks great on you," kami, why was he stuttering?
Hikari's smile widen as she did a little twirl, her hair swaying along with her. "Thanks! I was afraid it wouldn't fit me well."
"No way! You look amazing Hikari-chan," Takeru reassured, "You both do."
Daisuke frown when he noticed how pink Hikari's cheek got from Takeru's comment. "Yeah well-"
"DAISUKE!"
The silence of the school's field was broken by the shouting of a girl. Daisuke turned around to see who'd called his name, but before he could see anything he was tackled by someone. He was tackled by a girl.
He stumbled back from the sudden attack, but managed to catch himself and the girl. She was hugging him tightly and snuggling against his chest which made the goggle-boy blush to his ears.
The Digidestined stared in awe at the stranger hugging their leader. Among them, one seem to be fuming. Why is she hugging him like that?
"Oh Daisuke, I can't believe its really you," the girl snuggled closer to Daisuke's chest like it was her pillow. Daisuke in turn blushed harder. All he could see was the top of her head. Why was this stranger hugging him?
"Do I…know…you?"
The girl suddenly stopped snuggling against him, much to Daisuke's relieve and disappointment. She pulled back a little revealing her identity to the flushed-boy. Daisuke was dumbfounded.
She was the most beautiful girl Daisuke ever saw, besides Hikari-chan of course. She had jet black hair that shined against the sun and big light-brown colored eyes that stared at him with a look of hurt.
"You don't recognize me, Daisuke?"
He didn't know why, but his chest tighten at her disappointed look. He felt like he just did something horrible like kicking a puppy. "I guess its been longer than I thought…hold on a second."
The girl tried to pull away from him and Daisuke realized that his arms were wrapped around her this whole time. He instantly let her go.
Taking a step back, the girl grabbed her hair pulling them up into pigtails. If she was trying to look more adorable, it worked. She smiled brightly. "Ok, how about now?"
Daisuke blinked as well as the Digidestined, who quickly watched the spectacle with small grins and a glare?
The girl's smile dropped to a frown at seeing his lost expression, then it turned into a pout. She was glaring at him now, "Baka Daisuke!" she was mad.
Daisuke stumbled back surprised by her sudden outburst. Baka?
Baka? thought the Digidestined with surprised looks.
"How can you forget your best friend like that? After everything we went through when we were little!" Melody stomped over to him, her face getting dangerously close to his, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" at the last 'stupid' she knocked him on the head.
The crowd gasped. Yes, the crowd because more people entered the school as the time for the entrance ceremony drew near and upon seeing the small showdown between star soccer player (slash hero) Daisuke and the unknown beauty people stopped to watch the scene.
Daisuke grabbed his head, a bump would surely grow, "Geez! you didn't have to hit me so hard, Melody…" a light lit up in his head. Slowly he faced the girl in front of him. Could it be?
She smiled warmly at him, pressing her pointer fingers together she asked, "Remember me now-"
It was the girl's turn to be tackled (glomped).
"Melody!" Daisuke yelled finally recognizing his childhood friend. He felt her arms wrapping around him. "Its you!"
"It took you long enough…" She buried her face into his chest, "I was worried."
"Yeah, sorry…"
The Digidestined watched in confusion as the two friends(?) shared a rather intimate looking hug. It was like watching two lovers reuniting after years of being apart, gushed the girls. Meanwhile, some boys watched with envy and some with pride at seeing a fellow male score with a 'hottie'.
Takeru looked surprised while Miyako started blushing, she felt embarrass seeing such a display of affection. Hikari was blushing too, but her features looked more mad than embarrass. She's hugging him… She wasn't sure why, but her jaw clenched.
Daisuke buried his face into her hair, taking in her scent. It was calming, just like he remembered. "I've missed you, so much."
Melody gripped the back of his blazer, she always felt secured in his arms that much did not change. "I missed you too, Daisuke…" More than you know.
The crowd around them grew bigger and grew awkward. The girls were blushing madly and even the boys turned away with embarrassed looks. When a girl stared at a boy or visa versa, they would immediately look away. It was too early in the morning for lovey-dovey stuff, thought some of the middle-schoolers.
Daisuke and Melody finally pulled away at the sound of coughs which were more like exaggerated coughs that sounded like a pig's snort.
When they looked around they noticed nearly half the school staring at them. The younger middle-schoolers looked flushed while the older middle-schoolers carried knowing grins. Some were giving them a thumbs-up.
Daisuke tried to break the awkwardness, "There's nothing to see here," his laugh came out nervous, "just two friends hugging each other, nothing more."
Silence.
Someone felt the need to rebut, "Yeah right!" soon the crowd began to disperse, deciding it was best to leave the two 'love-birds' alone. Let them hug each other in their privacy where it won't embarrass anyone.
Daisuke and Melody watched them leave before turning to face each other. They both blushed instantly breaking into nervous chuckles and giggles.
The Digidestined and Ken, who arrived some time during the awkward hug spectacle, approached the fidgety duo. Funny, they were all lovey-dovey just a second ago… (guess who thought that?)
"Hey Daisuke-kun, whose your cute girlfriend?" Miyako teased. Her eyes appeared like fox-eyes especially with her new glasses. It made her look all the more intrigued. It made Daisuke's eye twitch,
"Well Daisuke-kun is in that age," Takeru laughed as he walked towards Daisuke's pretty friend.
"Hey quit talking like an old man…" Daisuke replied watching as he stepped between Melody and himself.
"Hello, I'm Takaishi Takeru, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Melody smiled sweetly before side-stepping over him to reach another friend of Daisuke's. "You must be Ichijoji-san," she bowed lightly, "Daisuke mentioned you a lot in his e-mails, he says you're his best friend."
"Is that so?" Ken looked passed her, watching with amusement as Daisuke made a face as if he were embarrassed. "Yes, he's a good friend that I cherish."
"Daisuke, huh? With no suffix? You two must be really close," Miyako appeared behind Ken with a big grin on her face, "I'm Inoue Miyako."
Hikari, who was standing furthest away from everyone, was dragged by Miyako to join in the introductions. "And this here is Yagami Hikari."
"Yeah…hi, so how do you know Daisuke-ku…Daisuke?" her reply was sudden and very unlike her. She also never called Daisuke without a kun. Everyone stared oddly at her behavior except for Melody who simply smiled.
"I'm Daisuke's girl friend," her smile widen and she blushed lightly, "My name is Otohime Melody. Nice to meet you."
