Next Part. Davis feels he has no purpose. Disclaimer: I don't own digimon. Whoever is unfamiliar is mine.

The Digimon Empress~ Chapter 4~ No Purpose

"Hey, Demiveemon. Want to go make ice cream sundaes?" "Sure. Wait." "What?" Demiveemon handed Davis his D-Terminal.

Davis, Look. I'm really sorry. I've been cruel to you and I am very sorry. Please come back and be a digidestined. We all need you.

Yours in friendship, Kari

Demiveemon waited for a reply. Davis picked up the D-Terminal and threw it in a box and shoved it in the garbage. "I don't want anyone's pity." Davis growled. Demiveemon sighed. Davis stomped out of the apartment.

In DigiWorld...

Salina sat watching her monitor. It's so lonely here. I wish I had someone to talk to... Her monitor showed a gate being opened and out stepped a boy. Finally, someone to talk to... Davis walked through the digiworld, recalling Kari's email. "They never needed me." He said. Then, he saw Salina. "Why, hello, Daisuke. It's so nice of you to come." "Look. I'm in no mood to talk right now." "I know what that's like. Hey, why don't you and I go and wreak a little havoc on the Digital World. It looks like you could use it."

"Sorry, I'm in no mood. Okay?" "Alright. I'll see you." With that, Salina disappeared. Davis walked through the Digiworld for hours. He glanced at his watch. "Oh, well. I've got no place to go. I think I'll just go home and make some food for Demiveemon. At least he's still around." Davis walked to the Digiport and went through. He went home and gave his digimon something to eat.

The next day at school, Davis found a note taped into the slit on his locker. He opened and read it but quickly threw it away. "I'm not going with them to the DigiWorld." He went through the rest of the day without talking to the digidestined.

Davis walked home. "Hey!" "Tai?" "Yup. How are you doing, buddy?" "Why do you want to know?" "Just cause friends like to know how friends are feeling." "Well, try someone else. Cause there seems to be no friends here." Davis said harshly. "Look, Davis. I know you feel hurt about everything but Kari and the others need you." "Oh, really?" "Yeah." "Well, they can forget it. I'm never talking to them." "Wait, Davis." "Bye." Davis went away, with his head down.

Tai sighed. Kari stepped out from behind a nearby building. "He's mad, isn't he?" "Guess so, Kari. I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." Kari sighed. "I just wish he'd come back." "Wait... Kari, do you have feelings for Davis?" "I guess I never thought of it and I guess I do." "Oh, I see. Well, good luck. I think he left cause he was in the way of your relationship with T.K." "No, I love T.K. like a brother and nothing more." "I know that, Kari. But Davis doesn't." "I'm gonna tell him." "You go, lil' sis." "Bye. I'm gonna head home. Mom's making tuna tofu casserole again, and fungus cookies for dessert." "I'll definitely go for dinner then. I'll see you at home."

Kari walked home and thought better. She'd stop at the park on her way home. She walked to the lake in the park. She saw a boy skipping rocks and a blue digimon with him. "It's Davis." Kari exclaimed. "No, it's Santa Claus." Gatomon said sarcastically. "I'm gonna go and talk with him." "Good luck. I'll go with Demiveemon somewhere. Hey, that's not Demiveemon. It's Veemon. Now we can go for sundaes." "Have fun."

"Hey, Davis." "Hi, Kari." "Veemon, let's go for some ice cream." "Okay. Be back in a llittle, Davis." "Okay." Davis turned back to skipping stones and Kari sighed. "Look, Davis. I'm sorry." "That's great, Kari. Now, all you need to do is save it for someone who cares." "Davis!" "Look, Kari. I don't want your pity and I don't need it. Look, if you want to be without me, that's fine. But do you have to keep in my face about it?" "Davis..." "Look, I wanna live my life and if that it has nothing to do with Digiworld then so be it." Davis began to walk away.

Kari grabbed his arm. "Davis, please." Davis yanked his arm away. Kari looked to see tears in his eyes. "I really loved you, Kari. But you rejected me." "Davis..." "Bye, Kari. Have a nice life with T.K." "No, Davis. You don't know what I'm talking about." "Yeah, right. Catch you later." Davis walked away. Kari stood with tears in her eyes. "Davis, come back." Kari whispered pleadingly.

Well, I'll have a new chapter up soon. ~angel13
