In the world where the seven generations lived, Takuya was sitting on Koji's lap as the Warrior of Light ran his fingers through her hair.
"So she's safe then?" he asked.
"Yeah as far as we can tell." Takuya said as she drew shapes on Koji's chest.
In the chair across from them was Ryo who had his arms wrapped around Takato while the boyfriend of the missing member of the trio was standing at the window with a worried look.
"Davis seems like a great guy. But still…I want Dai to come back here where she belongs." Takato sighed sadly.
Ryo kissed her cheek making her give him a thankful look.
"Izzy, Ken and Thomas are working on a way to get a portal opened up to bring her home. Have a little more faith." He said.
Koji sighed as he looked over to where the boy at the window was, his bright blue eyes were still glazed over with unshed tears.
"Willis." He called.
The male Keeper of the Golden Radiance turned to the group to see them all giving him comforting looks.
"You need to stop worrying. Dai's a strong girl. She'll be fine and if anyone tries to mess with her, they'll regret it." Koji said.
"Yeah, no one messes with Dai unless they want a full out beat down." Ryo smirked as he tickled Takato's sides making her shriek as she tried to crawl away while Takuya laughed at them.
Willis smiled at them knowing that if Dai were here then she would be laughing along with Takuya as Takato slipped away from Ryo to go hide behind the other two girls and Ryo chased her around the room.
"If Takuya were missing then you would be going on a killing spree to get her back." Willis said.
"Blondie's got a point." Ryo said making the girls laugh as Koji frowned at Willis.
"If you miss Dai so much, then why don't you visit her in the dream realm? That way you can at least be with her for a few hours." The Tamer of Hazard said.
Willis thought about this as he looked back out the window where he could see Terriermon and Kokomon playing with Guilmon and Monodramon while Marcus was walking with Yoshi holding hands with Agumon and Lalamon following them.
Akari was then seen running with Taiki chasing her and he then caught her and kissed her on the lips as Shoutmon and Cutemon joined the other digimon in their game.
"Maybe I'll do just that." Willis murmured to himself.
(That night…)
In the dream realm Dai was dressed in a blue sleeveless gown that reached the crstal floor as her eyes were gold and the mark of Miracles was on her forehead.
"OK, now what's going on?" she asked.
"Guess." A familiar voice said.
She turned around to see a tall blonde dressed in an emerald green dress shirt, black slacks and dress shoes.
His usual blue eyes were glowing gold while the mark of Faith was on his forehead.
Dai felt tears prick her eyes as she covered her mouth to hold back a sob.
"Willis." She whispered.
The blonde smiled lovingly as he walked over to his girlfriend and pulled her into his arms, breathing in her sweet scent of summer fruits as she clung to him and cried.
"I-I've missed you so much." Dai sniffled.
"Me too." Willis said as he rubbed her back to calm her down and placed a kiss on her head.
"I guess you're the reason why I'm in a dress." She said.
"Well, this is our dream date, so I thought it would be nice if were both looked even more gorgeous than we usually look." He said as they rocked back and forth in some sort of dance while they held each other.
Dai hummed in contentment as they stayed in their hug, not wanting to part any time soon.
A large bed with a soft mattress, pillows and comforter appeared as the duo laid down on it, Dai resting on Willis' chest so they could enjoy their time.
They talked about what had been happening to them, namely about Davis and his teammates and about Sora.
"I missed this." She said as she twisted one of her boyfriend's soft spikes around her pinky.
"Just doing nothing together? Yeah, me too. You know, everyone misses you like crazy. Marcus nearly went on a murderous rampage while Taiki and Tagiru had to try to hold him back." Willis said.
Dai smiled at the thought of three boys who were like brothers to her.
Sure, she and Marcus argued a lot while his younger sister Kristy sat back with her boyfriend Keenan and their partners Biyomon and Falcomon to watch, but the two leaders still had a close relationship.
Tagiru had went up to her to ask for help on his soccer skills and that made her feel touched since everyone knew that Tai would have been a better and obvious choice, but he chose her instead.
"How's Jun?" Dai asked.
"She's giving TK, Kari, Cody and Yolei the cold shoulder. Whenever they get near her, she yells at them and calls them plenty of horrible names and blames them for your disappearance. She even swore that if we never get you back, she'll hate them till the day she dies. She would be acting a lot nastier to them if Jim wasn't there to keep her calm." Willis said.
His girlfriend laughed softly as she thought back to her sister.
She had been avoiding Jun's counterpart in this world since she didn't want to have the harsh reality of knowing this person had no idea who she was.
It would just hurt far too much.
Willis pulled Dai closer to him and leaned his head down, capturing her lips and nearly cried as he realized how long it had been since he could feel her, taste her.
Her lips still had that same sweet taste as always and she still made adorable mewling sounds as they kissed.
It was always ironic to him that she had a dragon as her partner, but the sounds she made and the way she patted her chocolate eyes to seem innocent made her seem like a cat.
Ryo had even dubbed her as Kitty, which Marcus, Rika, Willis, Kazu and Jun had taken to calling her at odd times to just get her annoyed and she always seemed to freeze as her hackles rose just like a cat which made them all laugh.
The two Keepers of the Golden Radiance pulled apart, gold eyes meeting gold eyes that both flashed to their natural chocolate and aquamarine for a moment.
"I think our time's up for now." Willis said running a thumb across her smooth cheek.
"At least I'll see you in my dreams. By the way, never tell anyone I said something as sappy as that." Dai said making them both laugh as they held each other.
Gold lights covered them both before were pulled out of the dream realm.
(At the Takanouchi's…)
Dai opened her eyes with a small smile on her lips as tear trails were on her cheeks.
Above her was Sora, who was giving her a curious look.
The older girl had awoken to see her crying, but since Dai was smiling and looked more at peace than she had ever seen her, the child of Love decided to just watch her to see if she would be all right.
"You OK?" she asked gently drying the tears with her pajama sleeve.
"Yeah, I just had a really nice dream." Dai said as she sat up in bed.
Sora smiled at the loving tone that was used in Dai's voice.
Suddenly, the alarm went off making the two girls jump in fright before they calmed down and the orangette reached over to turn off the clock.
"Well, we might as well get going. After all, today is a school day." Sora said with a smile.
As she got out of bed, Dai looked at the date on the calendar and felt her eyes widen.
"Hey, the anniversary of Myotismon's defeat is this weekend." She said making Sora pause.
"I guess us older kids invited the younger generation to come with us to celebrate, huh?" she asked turning back to the younger girl.
"Yeah." Dai said as she got out of bed and smiled at V-Mon as she was still sleeping.
The two girls went on with getting ready, Dai carrying V-Mon in her arms as the two girls walked to their own respective schools.
Matt, Tai and Izzy waved Dai off as she went to her own school, then she met up with Davis as they talked about random things on their way to class, Kari joining them rather than spending time with TK.
To be continued…
(MV-The answer as to the last two lines of the last chapter is; Yugi vs. Jaden Rap Battle.
But to those who said Yu Gi Oh the Abridged Series, you're still right.
Congratulations to BTRHenderson31 and Artemis Yuki daughter of Johan for guessing right.)
