Lyra
Chapter 1
AN: This fiction has a variety of couplings. However there are three main couples.
Miyaken, Takari, Daiken. This fiction is rated PG-13 due to language and a bit of sexual
content. There will be no sex scene, but plenty of references to various sexual acts
and what not. I hope you enjoy the fiction.

Daisuke glared as he tried to read the blurry letters on the label of the can he currently held in his hand. He frowned even more as he walked into his bedroom to see the supposed vision that was currently occupying his bed. She had a place to sleep, so why the hell must she insist on using his bed.
His eyes wandered over her slender frame, only partially covered by the covers. Any man would agree that she was gorgeous. She had shoulder length dust brown hair that at the moment was cascading across the pillow in a most graceful manner. She was about a foot or so shorter than him, and her eyes well they were just so hard to describe. She had not one flaw, so you would think that the sight of her naked body in his bed would bring him some satisfaction, it did not. He frowned even more, if that was possible, as her eyes opened.
"What the hell are you doing Dai?" she yelled, pulling the covers over her body.
He frowned at this, "What the hell are you going on about, you know very well I'm not about to rape you or anything."
She shook her head as if to clear it, "Sorry. I'm not always the most considerate when I wake up, especially when I see one of my best friends staring at my naked ass."
He laughed a bit, "You act like its something I haven't seen before. Hell I wouldn't even see it, if you'd stay in your own bed for once."
She sent daggers with her eyes his way, as she stood up with the sheets still covering her body.
"Well its not like you ever sleep anyways. I can't remember a time when I haven't come home to find you either working on something, or passed out from drinking too much," she muttered.
He shrugged as he walked over to his closet and threw her a shirt. She caught it, annoyance and disappointment still obvious in her eyes.
"Some people don't handle things like you, they can't just go on with life pretending like nothings happened," he snapped back.
"Don't even start with me Daisuke; you know very well that's not how I handle things. I have no choice, but to go on with life. What the hell do you expect me to do huh? There's not really anything I can do. At least you know my problems, I on the other hand have no idea why you intend to drink your life away!"
He rolled his eyes at her then turned heel and walked out of the room. Hikari threw her arms up in frustration and then flopped back down on the bed.
"He's a very stubborn person isn't he?" she muttered.
"He'll tell us when he's ready. However trying to talk with him when he's drunk... you know as well as I do, what a waste of time that is." replied a new voice.
"Tailmon, what's going on with him? He's been like this ever since we showed up on his doorstep a month ago. God only knows how long this all has been going on."
The feline digimon stretched as she curled up next to her human partner.
"I don't know Hikari-chan. I've tried talking with chibimon about it, but he just shakes his head and said Daisuke isn't handling some changes very well."
Hikari sighed as she buried her face in the pillow. She knew very well how horrible change can be, but what had changed in Daisuke's life that was so awful. His business was doing great, hell he was on TV every other day since the media had decided he was the new most eligible bachelor.
"Well it can't be anything to do with work, he's doing great there," she stated.
"Maybe its something to do with the others?" questioned the feline digimon.
"Well let's see here. Iori's just finishing up college, but honestly him and Dai were never very close so I highly doubt there would be any stress in their friendship. Taichi and Yamato are off on another one of their "lovers" trips; I think that perhaps Sora and Mimi tagged along on that one as well. Jyou is off on a residency in America and Koushirou I believe is with him working on something or other. So that leave's Miyako and. Ken."
"I would appreciate if you wouldn't sit there contemplating why I've choose to destroy my liver."
Hikari and Tailmon glanced up then shrugged simultaneously.
"Well since you're not going to tell me, I'm going to have to figure out what's going on. I really don't care to see you cause yourself harm."
"If it was something I wanted to tell you, I would. Hell, its not something I want to even admit to myself and honestly my dear Kari-chan you can't even solve your own problems so how are you going to help me with mine?" he countered, his voice dangerously low.
"So we're going to get into this again huh Dai? I liked it better before you became such an asshole. What happened to the friend I grew up with? You were perfectly fine till our college graduation... then you became just gyah!"
"Ever think that maybe I was always this asshole huh? No one ever bothered to notice when I had problems. No one wanted to talk about them with me, but everyone under the fuckin sun came to me with theirs. It wasn't because you guys actually wanted my advice because heaven forbid I have an intelligent thought, no it was because you guys wanted someone to cheer you up." he spat.
"Daisuke. I never thought."
"Yeah you never thought Kari-chan, none of you did. I've been like this for years
Kari-chan, hell I was like this in college. No one bothered notice though; the only one who did was sucked into your guy's idea of me. So once again I was left to deal with my problems on my own. Then we all graduated and you guy's moved on to whatever. You and that asshole fiancée of yours moved into a lovely little house outside of the city. All of the older digidestined already had lives that I really wasn't much of a part of because everyone just took me as they always did, then Miyako and Ken. Well they did whatever the fuck it is they're doing now."
Hikari stared at Daisuke for a moment then silently turned away from him.
"So now you don't want to talk about it my dear Kari-chan?"
"No. I don't want to talk to you when you're like this, you're an angry drunk Daisuke and honestly I don't feel like putting up with your asshole personality at the moment."
"Whatever. I'm out of here anyways, you coming chibimon?"
The tiny little digimon appeared from under the bed, and hopped into his partner's arms. Daisuke pulled his digivice from out of his pocket.
"There's plenty of food, and you know where the money is if you need anything. Digiport open."
Hikari shook her head as a flash of light appeared behind her, and her best friend and his partner were gone.
"Running from your problems like always, huh Dai?" she whispered.
.............................................
Daisuke glared at the tree in front of him, his partner watched in dismay at his friend's obvious frustration.
"Suke-chan, you can't keep not telling her."
"Of course I can, she doesn't need to know my problems. Not like she'd understand them anyways, she'd one probably freak out then give me some lecture on why I didn't say anything before and so on. I don't need to be lectured anymore on what I should of done and what I have done."
Chibimon sighed, "Suke... Kari-chan is a better person than that. You complain how everyone was never there for you, or how they never listened to your problems. Thing is Suke, you never even gave them the slightest hint. You always acted so happy and bouncy, that's the way you've always been how were they to know any different. Anyways one person did see through your glamour, and you shut him out as well."
"Because he left me as well." whispered Daisuke.
"He didn't leave you, Suke. You pushed him out the door."
......................................................
Hikari smiled slightly as she looked at the clean apartment, at least it would be livable till whenever he returned. A small knock on the door startled her from her thoughts.
'Who in the world?' she thought.
She sighed as she finished drying her hands and stood up on her tiptoes to peek through the hole. She was grateful when she saw ruffled lavender hair, and smiled politely as she opened the door.
"Miyako-chan? What brings you here?"
The woman blinked slightly as she stared at Hikari.
"Hikari-chan? Did I get it confused? I thought this was Daisuke's place, not yours and Takeru's."
Hikari wrinkled her nose at the name of her supposed fiancée.
"It is Daisuke's, come in and we'll have some tea and I'll explain it all to you."
"What?! I can't believe Takeru's being such an asshole... never knew the guy had it in him. Hikari-chan, why did you come to Daisuke's though? I'm sure your brother or hell any of us would let you stay with them."
Hikari shrugged, "I suppose I knew Dai would be the only one who wouldn't ask me a lot of questions. At the time I wasn't really prepared to even accept it, much less talk about it. Now enough about silly old me, what brings you here Miya-chan?"
Now it was Miyako's turn to wrinkle her nose, "Lots of things I suppose... I suppose its kind of stupid of me. See, I've been feeling lately like Ken just puts up with me. I figured since Dai and him used to be so close, that maybe Dai would be able to explain his behavior to me. That's awful isn't it? I don't know my own boyfriend at all. I mean sure we get along and we have fun, but I've been feeling recently that maybe it isn't a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship."
Hikari smiled sympathetically, "I honestly wouldn't rely too much on Dai for advice."
"Why's that?" Miyako asked.
"Because she's determined I'm too much of an asshole to think of others recently." replied Daisuke, as he casually strolled into the living room.
Miyako raised an eyebrow as Daisuke sat down on a beanbag chair opposite the two women.
"Dai, no offense, you look like shit," Miyako stated.
"None taken Miya-chan. What brings you to my little hole that Kari-chan has obviously just cleaned."
Miyako shifted uncomfortably in her chair. Daisuke ran his hand threw his hair, as he realized what he was about to be asked and decided to cut her off before it could even happen.
"Miya, I told you once I won't give you advice on that."
"Daisuke! How can you be so inconsiderate?" criticized Hikari.
Daisuke glared at Hikari, then picked up his coat, "Ask her, I'm not going into it right now Hikari. She made an agreement with me a long time that she wouldn't come to me for relationship advice. She knows very well I won't give it to her. Now if you don't mind, some of us have work to attend to."
With that he left, and Hikari once again rolled her eyes to the ceiling.
"My word, why am I stuck with such a stubborn friend? I'm sorry Miya, I didn't know he'd be an asshole to you as well."
"No, it's my fault. I did make that agreement sometime ago."
Hikari looked at her friend surprised, "But why would Dai make you agree to not discuss your relationships with him?"
Miya smiled sadly, "Its not all the relationships I've had, its just one. That agreement was made on our college graduation."
Hikari's eyes widened, "That's when you... and Ken..."
"That's when we started dating."
................................................
Daisuke sighed as he listened to his lawyers discuss a recent business proposition with him. It sounded interesting enough and it seemed like it would do well.
"That's enough for now guys. You've started repeating, I have plenty of information to present to the board."
He smiled as he shook the last person's hand and then turned to look out the window. A frown crossed his face as a woman came up behind him and snaked her arms around his waist.
"Kaoru-chan." he muttered sternly.
"Hmmm?" the woman whispered as she started undoing his belt buckle.
He broke off the embrace and stood to face the woman in front of him, who was already visibly pouting.
"Kaoru-chan. you know I'm not..."
The woman's face immediately turned to anger, "What? So I'm not good enough? You sure didn't seem to think that last week. Your an asshole you know that Motomiya! Oh yeah just to let you know I quit."
She then proceeded to slap him and storm out of the room.
'Meh... women. It's getting kind of old to be called an asshole every time I attempt to talk with a woman.'
He quickly grabbed his coat and then proceeded to tell his secretary that he would be gone for the rest of the day. He then looked at the empty chair like an idiot.
'Oh yeah... bad memory here, my secretary just quit.'
He shrugged then proceeded to head to the elevator. He was so lost in thought he didn't even realize there was another presence in the elevator till he felt something sharp prod him in the back.
"I believe you and me, need to have a talk."
Daisuke grimaced then smiled slightly, "You do know, even like that and with a pencil stabbing into my back, I'm always going to recognize your voice Taichi."
He spun around and was greeted with a pouting Taichi.
"You know, you're no fun anymore Dai. Much too serious."
Daisuke grinned, "So I've been told, various times today I might add. How was Ireland?"
"Wonderful, care to inform me on why my sister is living at your apartment?"
.....................................................
"I don't understand. Why would Dai have such an issue with you and Ken dating?" asked a confused Hikari.
"I'm not entirely sure; it's honestly a question I've been trying to figure out for years. I've asked him about it various times and he just wouldn't say. After that day and that agreement, Daisuke hasn't seen Ken at all."
"What? Who's doing was that?"
"Dai's I'm assuming, because Ken made plenty of attempts to spend time with Dai. Hell, if Dai would of let him, I think Ken would of spent more time with him than me. Didn't you notice how every time we had get togethers of the digidestined, Daisuke would always mange to have a meeting or something of the sort?"
Hikari thought back, true they had only had one or two get togethers in all these years, but Daisuke had never been at either one.
.................................................
"Man. so that's what's going on. Don't worry, I'm sure those two will get their misunderstanding fixed soon enough if Yama has anything to say about it." Taichi grinned.
Daisuke shrugged and dipped another fry into some cheese, stirring it around a bit.
"So what's up with you? You haven't been your oh so chipper self in some time now."
"I've been told that recently as well, according to your dear sister, I'm a asshole who's doing nothing, but managing to destroy his liver."
"Hikari did always have a way with words." Taichi laughed.
"Yeah, she's got her own problems thought. She doesn't need to hear about mine, especially since I can't even explain them to myself."
Taichi's smile turned somewhat sad, "Hey Dai, what happened at your guy's graduation? You don't spend any time with the others anymore, and I've been told by a few sources that you're avoiding Ken like the plague."
Daisuke frowned slightly, "I'm taking those sources would be Mimi and Sora? Nothing happened at the graduation, nothing happened to me at all. I just made a few decisions and am choosing to stick by them."
Taichi raised his hands like someone had a gun to his back, "Eesh, watch it with the attitude will ya? I was just trying to help."
Daisuke smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I'm just a bit tired, rough day. I've got a couple of things to take care of, if you like to go ahead and visit your sister at my apartment. Last time I checked, Miyako was there as well, and I'm sure she still is. They're probably deep in conversation about me by now. See ya."
Daisuke waved to Taichi and proceeded to head out into the chilly evening. He hated lying, but he didn't care to be questioned about his choices.
"Long time no see brother dear."
Taichi grinned.
"You and I need to have a talk sister dear, but you're spared for today because I'm much more curious about your landlord."
"What you mean Mr. I have stick shoved up my butt for eternity?" muttered Hikari.
"That would be the one and the same. You've been here for about a month or so right? You have to have more of a clue about what's going on with him." Taichi stated.
"I'm honestly learning much at the moment, I do believe that it has to do with Miya-chan's boyfriend." she replied.
"Well it looks like we have two people that we need to have a discussion with," grinned Taichi.
"Two?" questioned Miyako.
"Ken obliviously, but first I think we need to have a certain pink haired beauty over to get drunk so that she might finally spill her guts."
"But Tai, why do we need Mimi?" asked Hikari.
"Because she knows why Dai's the way he is."
