(Everything I Do) I Do It For You
a Digimon Songfic by K-OSS
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, Takeru, Hikari or Daisuke.
I manipulate their personas for my own amusement though.I also lay no claim
to Bryan Adam's '(Everything I do) I Do it For You. But I do blame Kevin Costner
for getting it stuck in my head.
~This fic was requested for by and is now dedicated to Jen.
This is for you, my Hikari, where ever you are~
Hikari walked down the school hallway. It was an early morning and she had a late night out with her hot shot boyfriend, Daisuke. Her mind was wandering to all the things she did last night that her parents and most definitely her brother would not approve of: drinking, smoking, and making out. She smiled as she thought about how wild she had become since she started dating Daisuke. Suddenly she bumped into someone, dropping her books and bag on to the ground. She bent down to pick them up as did the person she bumped into. She looked up to see who it was and all she saw were two sad blue eyes looking back at her. Without looking at one other feature she already knew who it was, "Takeru…"
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
The two stood up as Hikari gathered her things back into her bag. Takeru stood
their silently watching to make sure she was all right. Once she composed herself,
he smiled a little and began to walk away. He muttered the words, "Take
care" very softly, but she heard them. She look even more bewildered than
before as she watched him disappear into the crowd of people in the halls. She
couldn't focus the rest of the day. She kept thinking back to his eyes.
They looked so sad, so heartbroken. She remembered the letter he sent her after
her and Daisuke started to go out and she really hadn't set much time
aside to think about her dear friend Takeru since. She knew he had feelings
for her but she had always dismissed it as simple puppy love. Not like what
her and Daisuke had. Is it like what she and Daisuke had? She looked down and
her paper and blushed. It seemed that while she pondered everything that she
had begun to subconsciously scribble Takeru's name across the sheet of
paper that lay before her.
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more.
Lunchtime rolled around and Hikari traveled down to the juice machine with
a pocket full of coins and thirst for something sweet. She got to the machine
and looked down to find that the juice machine was all sold out. Naturally she
became angry and kicked it. "You really shouldn't do that,"
a voiced echoed behind her, "It's not the machines fault."
She found the voice to be very soothing and it quickly dissipated her anger.
She turned to see Takeru behind her. He tossed her a can of juice, "I
figured you'd want one." He smiled and walked away. She looked down
at the juice and smiled. Daisuke stood in the doorway with an upset look on
his face.
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
That night Hikari sat in her bedroom with the phone. She looked between the
phone and a sheet of paper with Takeru's name and a phone number scrawled
on it. She slowly hit the buttons on the phone and listened to it ring. Suddenly
it picked up and before Hikari said a word, Takeru's voiced came through
the receiver, "Hello Hikari." She smiled and didn't even bother
to ask. Even if it was something as simple as Caller ID, she wanted to believe
that he just knew. The two talked for hours until Hikari got around to asking
him why he bought her that juice, he laughed and simply said, "Because
I would do anything for you." Finally Hikari said it would be best for
them to get some sleep. Takeru agreed and the both hung up. Hikari laid down
in her bed and slept the best she had in weeks.
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Early the next morning Takeru is out on his morning jog when he crosses paths
with Daisuke who gave him an angry look. Takeru stopped and looked at him, "What
was that for?" Daisuke walked over to him, "I don't like the
way you're getting so close to Hikari." Takeru shrugged, "Well
she is my friend." Daisuke got right in his face, "I know what you're
really after you ecchi bastard." Takeru responded by getting right back
into his face, "Look, I am her knight and as such will go to any length
to make her happy. If you don't like then tough!" Takeru took off
to finish his jog and Daisuke flipped him off.
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Takeru sat on his bed with a pen and a small purple book. Every once and a
while he would jot something down in his book. He finally sighed and shut it.
"Writing poetry was so much easier when I didn't have Daisuke showing
up in my head so much." The book lay open and full of love poems using
symbols of roses and angels. A tear fell from Takeru's eye, "Hikari-chan…"
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Takeru got to school the next day with Daisuke waiting for him along with his
two soccer buddies, Hitoshi and Gen. Takeru tried to walk past them but Daisuke
stopped him, "Not so fast Mr. Knight." Takeru tried to push passed
him, "I need to get to class Daisuke." Daisuke pushed him back,
"You're gonna stay away from Hikari." Takeru rolled his eyes,
"Or what?" Daisuke spit at his feet, "I'm going to put
you in the hospital." Takeru laughed, "Whatever." He moved
passed him and into the building.
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
After school, Takeru was headed home when Hikari ran up behind him, "Hey
Takeru!" Takeru smiled and slowed down so she could catch up. She looked
worried, "I heard Daisuke threatened you this morning." Takeru nodded
and Hikari gasped, "I new Daisuke was possessive but this is ridiculous.
I'm gonna go home and call him about this." Takeru shook his head,
"It's nothing to worry about. Daisuke is harmless." Without
missing a beat Daisuke dove with a punch that landed on the side of Takeru's
face, "Harmless huh?!" Hikari screamed at the sudden attack as Takeru
picked himself up only to get punched in the gut by Daisuke. "All you
have to do is leave Hikari alone and I'll stop." Daisuke added,
Takeru shook his head and Daisuke rolled his eyes, "Get him." Daisuke's
two friends jumped in and starting to beat on Takeru, leaving him on the ground
bruised and beaten. The two left him and Daisuke began to walk off, dragging
Hikari with him. Takeru then forced himself on to his feet and told Daisuke
to stop. Daisuke, with a rage never seen before, drew a knife from his belt
and leapt at Takeru, stabbing him in the shoulder. Takeru collapsed with Daisuke
looming over him, "That's what you get. Right, Hikari?" He
turned to his girlfriend only to receive a brutal slap. Hikari was furious,
"It's over Daisuke. It's one thing to get all touchy about
me going out on the town with Miyako, but stabbing my friends is most definitely
where I draw the line. Now get out of my sight!" Daisuke cowered off with
his friends and Hikari bent down to check on Takeru who had passed out from
the pain. She reached in her bag for her cell phone and called for help.
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
The paramedics had arrived put Takeru on a stretcher and taken him to the hospital.
The Hospital staff let Hikari in once Takeru had regained consciousness. She
walked in, teary eyed. Between the pain killers and the pain induced slumber,
Takeru was quite groggy and disorientated but he smiled when he saw Hikari enter
the room. She sat next to him, "Why didn't you just stay down? He
would of left you alone if you would of just stayed down."
"Because Hikari…" Takeru smiled, "Everything I do…
I do it for you "
She smiled and leaned in and kissed him, "Thank you, my knight."
--------
Author's Notes: The story behind this was that the first
chapter was based almost completely on what happened with my ex-girlfriend.
This second chapter is not based on any actual real life event, but Takeru's
personality is definitely drawn from myself. Why I wrote this chapter was because
a relationship I had with a girl (Jen) played out like Hikari and Takeru, seeing
how we were both Takari fans she asked me to write a second chapter with a Takari
ending. Seeing how I adored this girl, and still miss her a lot, I decided to
set some time aside to write this chapter out. If you didn't like, I don't
care, I did this for Jen.
