Chapter Seven
Digiworld:
Rika Nonaka was a no-nonsense kind of girl, she tolerated Kazu and Kenta because they did happen to have their redeeming qualities, but everything she'd ever seen of Inoue Yolei told her that she would not like the purple haired round wire framed glasses wearing girl. The way she'd treated Davis, her Ryo, already had her hackles up. Rika was very much a wild cat and she would love to have an excuse to tear Inoue apart.
Sora Takenouchi could see Rika was observing Yolei and at the first sign of her talking smack about Davis, Rika's Boyfriend, mind you, she looked like she could and would smack the purple haired girl down. Not that Sora could blame her, the older kids were complicit in the fact that they had trusted Kari and the others to tell them the truth. They hadn't bothered to get all sides to the story, and that was a serious disservice to Davis, though he seemed more comfortable being called Ryo. Then again his new team, even though he wasn't the leader, respected him and valued his opinion. The team he had lead, once the older kids had questioned Ken and Cody thoroughly, hadn't.
Koushiro " Izzy" Izumi, was still cursing himself an idiot for not questioning things further, his crest was Knowledge, dammit! His curiosity is what made him such a good digidestined. Had he merely questioned Cody then the younger kids could have been taken to task. Hell, once it had all come out Tai and Matt along with Sora had taken them all to task. He, Joe, Mimi, Ken, Cody, and Willis, whom was present at the time, had all set back and watched the show.
Yamato " Matt " Ishida, was still having a hard time believing that he had failed to see his little brother's duplicity. He couldn't blame Tai as Kari always seemed like she was such a little angel, why would the first leader suspect his sister of lying to his face about what Davis had and hadn't done? He was honestly surprised that Davis hadn't taken them to task sooner. Instead he had put Digiworld ahead of everything else, had taken the higher road, like a true Chosen Child of Courage. Matt knew he wouldn't have done so at that age, Tai would have, and had, he hadn't wanted that fight Cherrymon had instigated, he had only fought in defense.
Joe Kido was still having a hard time accepting that they had allowed one of their own to be treated in such a manner. Joe had always managed to find the time to help Davis out when he asked. Joe's own crest happened to be Reliability after all. He couldn't blame Tai, Matt, and Sora for going off on TK, Yolei, and Kari, they had deserved it, lying like that to them all about Davis' own accomplishments. No wonder Davis had sought to spend time with the older generation, they actually listened to him, helped him.
Mimi Tachikawa was burning with rage still, over what the inheritor of her crest had done. Her Crest of Sincerity had been tainted by that purple haired bitch! Davis had talked to her by Skype whenever he had the chance, keeping her up to date on what was going on, like a true leader should. She was the only one whom had known the truth about Davis' accomplishments but he hadn't busted the others. He truly had taken the high road, which made her so proud of him. She viewed him like a little brother and she really wanted to get to know Rika better. She would have torn into Yolei herself, but Sora had done a well enough job. Davis had even brought her into Digiworld so she could help him take down some control spires when Arukenimon was making digimon out of them.
He'd turned to her for a lot of advice, as she was an impartial audience. He'd gone to her when the others hadn't wanted to trust Ken, the Child of Kindness. She'd understood why, as she hadn't had any interactions with him. It was just too sad that Light, Hope, and the inheritor of hers and Sora's crests had been so cruel. Learning that TK had, had so little Hope when it came to beating Kimeramon and several other incidents sickened her.
Kazu and Kenta share a look, " In our home dimension your adventures are all on DVD, we brought all of season two along, you older kids can watch things for yourselves. Oh, TK, when the Emperor was threatening to put a Dark Spiral on Patamon why didn't you just armor digivolve him? " Kazu asks.
TK's blue eyes widen and then he sweat drops, why hadn't he done that? Yolei, Kari, Cody, Tai, and Matt all blink at this, why hadn't any of them thought of that. Davis smirks in classic Ryo style, " I have always wanted to point that out to TZ myself, Kazu, so thank you for that. "
" Why didn't…" Tai trails off, " They wouldn't have listened to you and I wasn't in the best of moods at the time, due to my partner being controlled. "
" Yeah, they never listened to me and yet they expected me to save their asses when push came to shove. Davis is an idiot, Davis is so stupid, he can't be early to save his life…I heard it fucking all, Inoue! Did I ever bitch at you for being late! "
Yolei flinches, he really had taken the higher road with them. Instead of picking at their flaws, he had accepted them, flaws and all. " Hikari-san, I was your friend for years, but the instant TS came back into your life I was shunted aside like yesterday's trash. I would have waited for you to get through the gate in machine City, it was TJ here that forced me to leave! "
Kari whimpers but she knew she deserved, he had kept that bottled up for so long now. " Takaishi, I put up with yours and Inoue-san's bullshit for entirely too long. Since I am still your fucking leader you try that bullshit again, either of you, well, I'll deal with you myself, Takaishi. I'll sic my Wild Cat on Inoue-san. "
Rika's smirks maliciously at this, " Ryo, I do hope I get an opportunity to put her in her place. "
Reika may not be able to talk but she could hear everything, her fingers fly through the signs and Marcus smirks, " Reika says she'll help you, Rika, as Davis is her twin. "
" That's it, I need to get my sign language back up to speed, dammit. " Davis mutters.
Tamers Verse:
Janyu sighs as he listens to his wife and elder daughter whine about the fact that Henry had disappeared and taken his little sister with him. Janyu couldn't blame him for doing so and Henry had promised to stay in contact, plus, there was no way in hell Janyu was allowing his wife to turn his youngest into a traditionally raised Japanese girl. He'd all but leapt at the chance to get Suzie away from her mother. Makino still hadn't realized Rika was gone, nor had Jeri's parents. In fact only Yamaki had noticed the disappearance of the Tamers. Janyu had explained why they had, had to leave, and even Yamaki couldn't fault them for this. They all deserved happiness and if they could get that in Ryo's home dimension then more power to them.
