a/n: Okay, then chapter has come kinda early because I wanted to get it out of the way before my schedule starts to get hectic again. Also, really sorry about it being hella short and crappy. Oh, and please disregard any of the errors in it, I didn't have time to look over it properly. And I forgot to mention last chapter that I'm also ignoring the digimon movies because I never had a chance to see any of them except for like the one about Rika's birthday part and Locomon. Another thing is that some of the details in this story like names etc. might be a little mixed because I vaguely remember Digimon. I had to watch season 2 again as research, but only I could only find half a season in english, and the rest in Japanese. So yeah... it's probably gonna be mixed up a lot. ^^;;

Towels
Upon getting the door slammed in her face, Kari's usual cheerful expression became contorted with confusion and bit of anger. It seemed evident to her that that person didn't have many manners. She could hear the bit of arguing that was going on inside, she wondered what it was about, most likely Mrs. Motomiya scolding whoever answered the door. Straining her ears a bit in an attempt to understand what they were saying, Kari realized that it wasn't a woman's voice doing the scolding, but rather a young man's. She was able to make out a few words, most of them being not so friendly.
After only a few moments of being shut closed, the door was opened again, the young man standing before her. She immediately noticed that he was practically half naked, seeing just a towel around his neck and another hanging ever so loosely off his hips. Tanned skin stretched across lean muscles, a few remaining droplets of water trailed down his toned abdomen. His wet burgundy colored hair clung to his face a bit, slightly covering his eyes. It appeared as if he had just gotten out of the shower. Kari could feel the blush creeping upon her face from his overall appearance.
Opening her mouth, no words came out. Her mind was scattered, it wasn't everyday that she would be "greeted" by a boy looking like this. In another attempt to speak, Kari was barely able to stutter out even a small sentence.
"H-hey... is... uh... DemiVeemon here?" she finally blurted out.
"Yeah... hold up," he replied hesitantly, "Vee! C'mon, she's here."
It wasn't long until the little blue creature came into view, jumping into her arms.
"Kari!" the little digimon exclaimed, "Guess wha-"
He stopped mid-sentence after seeing the look of disapproval on the unknown boy's face. Kari took note of this, becoming slightly suspicious. He seemed so familiar, from the way he looked to the sound of his voice. She tried to pinpoint who he reminded her of, but came up with nothing. Her current visual of him was making it hard for her to focus, turning her thoughts into a blur. Normally, she wasn't the type to be so easily distracted, but this boy... oh my. She couldn't imagine how much of an idiot she looked at the moment, feeling dumbfounded. The fact that he was just standing there, staring at her wasn't helping much either.
"So," he began, "you gonna just stand there or what?"
The way he spoke, his Japanese was masked with a slight American accent. She figured he wasn't from around here.
"Oh... um..." shed paused for a moment, "...I guess we should go then."
"Great, later."
With that, he immediately shut the door again. Kari heard him mutter a few curse words before it went silent once more.
"Who was that?" she asked.
"Uh, it was Davish's cousin from America. Yeah, that's it."
"Hmm... okay then," she said, still a bit skeptical.
It wasn't until after they had reached the park that Kari realized that the boy reminded her of Davis. Throughout the entire time, she couldn't take her thoughts off him. After a few vain attempts to get more information out of DemiVeemon, she had given up on receiving any more details on "Mr. Anonymous." She found it extremely hard to believe that the young man at the apartment was Davis's supposed cousin, but she wasn't sure if it was Davis himself either. Though they looked similar, the two acted completely different. Unlike the real Davis, he acted more calm and collected as opposed to a more energetic nature. Also, he didn't act lovesick at the sight of her, having Davis being known for his open crush on her. Then again, feelings do tend to change over time. Just because you feel a certain way about someone when you're a kid, doesn't necessarily mean that feeling will be the same when you're grown. Kari thought that maybe, just maybe, the half naked boy she met earlier really was Davis. She wondered if she should tell the others about him, but also wondered what would happen if she turned out to be wrong. Jumping to conclusions wasn't necessarily something that she would normally do, but in the back of her mind, she had a feeling that Davis really was back in Japan.
"Hey Kari," TK said as he walked up to her, "penny for your thoughts?"
She began to think about how the others would react to Davis's return. After doing what he did, she knew that they wouldn't exactly be thrilled about his homecoming. He had ignored and lied to them, made them believe he actually cared. The memories of waiting by the phone for weeks, hoping for at least one call from him, and ending up with not even a message. Leaving countless of e-mails, but never receiving any replies back. Kari highly doubted that the others would welcome him back with open arms, even she was a bit conflicted about him.
"I don't know," she sighed, "I just have so much on my mind."
Maybe TK would have an answer to all this. Even though he and Davis never were exactly the best of the friends, they were still friends nonetheless.
"How would you feel if Davis ever came back?"
Kari saw the look of surprise come upon the blond's face, bright blue eyes seeming to darken at the mention of the other boy's name. She noticed his boy tense a bit, as if she had said something taboo. TK's shocked reaction to her question began to rise more suspicion. Did he know something that she didn't? And if so, what was it that he knew?
"TK..."
Just as quick as before, his expression changed again, his face and body relaxing.
"Listen, Kari," he finally replied, "Davis decided to leave all those years ago, so there's nothing we can do about it now."
"But what if-"
"Come on, let's go to Yolei's family's convenience store. We can get some ice cream before we drop off DemiVeemon."
"Alright, I guess."
She didn't understand why TK had avoided her question, something wasn't right.
Lying in bed, Kari's thoughts began to drift, eventually centering on Davis's "cousin" again. She couldn't believe that he had the nerve to answer the door in nothing but a towel... not that it had bothered her or anything. She wasn't going to lie, she did very much enjoy the view. From what she could tell, he had a soccer player's build, being all too familiar with the sport's body type. Yolei would have a field day if she ever saw how Kari reached to his appearance. It wasn't like her to get so flustered about some boy... then again, it probably wasn't just some boy. If that really was Davis, she thought, he sure has changed.
..and all those years of soccer finally paid off.
a/n: Like I mentioned before, this chapter was done on the quick. Also, really sorry for stressing the whole "Davis being sexy now" thing. I kinda got caught up because while I was writing this chapter, I was also searching Taeyang on YouTube. The song "Move" got stuck in my head and... well, you know. And yes, I'm fully aware of the fact that that song is a sex song, no need to point it out.
By the way, sorry if I confused anyone with writing this chapter is Kari's 3rd person POV. So anyway... read and review please. I'm a review whore and love it when people review, even if it's a flame.
