Me: This is the life-back in civilization with the gang, instead of seclusion with Izzy!
Tai: You did change the coupling, right?
Me: Right! I also changed the title of this chapter. It was originally called "Which girl's heart does he claim," or something like that.
Davis: So…who am I paired with now besides Yolei?
Me: Tai's gonna kill me for this, but…Dakari. (everyone gasps)
Tai: WHAT?! Sora, let me at him! I'll kill both of them!
Davis: Maybe you should've kept it a secret from Tai! (runs)
Me: Maybe so. Anyway, I don't own Digimon. Davis would've said it, but he's trying to keep from being hamburger. I also don't own "Mad Season" by Matchbox Twenty.
Digimon
The Rift between Courage and Love
Chap. V-Be mine
"Davis…" Yolei's eyes brimmed with tears as she tried to be strong in front of Davis, but with him on one knee, pleading with her for forgiveness broke down all her defenses in one swoop.
Davis smiled to himself. "I know! I've got the perfect idea to make Yolei forgive me. It's a long shot and it's pretty dumb, but I have no other choice!" "Come with me, Yolei. I've got just the thing-or the song-to cheer you up! It's not dangerous or anything like that at all. Trust me."
Yolei face faulted in shock as she saw where Davis had brought her.
"The Karaoke bar?! Davis, have you lost your mind?"
"Not at all! I figured it would be the perfect place to tell you exactly what I've been going through these past few days." Davis explained as he pulled Yolei in, unaware that someone had followed him ever since the hospital and had kept pretty good tabs on the two of them since the school.
Smiling broadly, Davis plunked Yolei into a seat in the front row.
"I've gotta go talk to the manager of this place. Be right back!"
Yolei sighed with a hint of wonder. "What's this boy got planned? I hope it's neat and safe-'cause if it isn't, I'm gonna give him a one-way ticket to England, without the peanuts!" Interesting music came on, though not the kind you'd dance to. Imagine Yolei's surprise when Davis came out on stage in a tuxedo!
"This song's dedicated to a girl whose heart I smashed just an hour or so ago due to a misunderstanding. I hope she accepts my apology and I hope these lyrics aren't a laughing matter!" That said, Davis sighed deeply and began to sing.
"I feel stupid, but I know it won't last for long, and I've been guessing, and
I could've been guessing wrong. (guessing wrong!)
You don't know me now; I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got you down?"
Yolei smiled as the floodgates burst. Davis was basically telling her how he'd messed up with the lyrics as a buffer! And he wanted her to get to know him better!
"I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes, and I've been changin' I think it's funny how no one knows. We don't talk about the little things that we do without when that whole mad season comes around."
Davis knew that if Yolei were to forgive him, he'd have to open himself up to the world and make himself vulnerable, but only to her.
"This is for you, Yolei. I do love you…" Davis allowed some tears to escape his eyes as the chorus started up.
"So why ya gotta stand there looking like the answer now? It seems to me; you'd come around. I need you now! Do you think you can cope? You figured me out, that I'm lost and I'm hopeless, I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken I come undone…In this mad season…" Davis smiled a bit as he gazed into Yolei's eyes. He saw hope shining in them…hope that their love could be released.
"I feel stupid but I think I've been catchin' on; I feel ugly but I know I still turn you on.
You've grown colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around! Will that whole mad season knock you down?"
Davis shook a bit as he sang those words. Yolei's voice had been colder to him earlier-even colder than Kari's could ever be! Had he lost a chance to make it work out? No! He'd just work harder to make it work, then keep it together!
"So are you gonna stand there, are you gonna help me out? We need to be together now. I need you now! Do you think you can cope? You figured me out, that I'm lost and I'm hopeless, I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken I've come undone…In this mad season…" Davis gained confidence as Yolei stood up and showed him her tears. Davis felt something warm on his own cheeks. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know that Davis was crying too…but only for Yolei.
"And now I'm cryin,' isn't that what you want? (what you want!) And I'm tryin' to live my life on my own, but I won't! At times, I do believe I am strong, so someone tell me why, why, why…Do I, I, I…Feel stupid? And I come undone! Will I come undone? I need you now! Do you think you can cope? You figured me out, that I'm lost and I'm hopeless, I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken.
Well, I need you now! Do you think you can cope? You figured me out; I'm a child and I'm hopeless, I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken, I come…I come undone! In this mad season…In this mad season…It's been a mad season…Been a mad season…" No one in that entire building cheered or clapped louder than Yolei did, although one person hidden in the shadows came awfully close.
"Davis, YOU'RE THE BEST!" Yolei cried happily as she pulled him off the stage and hugged him as tightly as when he'd first said yes to their date. Davis cried out as he felt some ribs go out of place.
"Yolei…ribs…can't move!" The girl blushed as she reluctantly loosened her hold. "Sorry, Davis. I didn't know you could be that sensitive."
Davis nodded as he felt a blush creep on his cheeks. "Only for you, Yolei. Only for you. Ahh!" Davis felt his shoulder and saw that it was damp.
"Great! This was a rental, too." Yolei giggled as she pushed Davis toward the manager to explain the tuxedo incident.
Kari Kamiya held back her tears of regret and despair as she exited the Karaoke bar. She'd seen the way Davis openly released his tears. Guys only did that for girls they truly loved! Did that mean she'd lost his love? Had she thrown him into Yolei's arms after every rejection? It seemed that way. Kari remembered when Tai had almost lost Sora to Matt. He'd been patient, and waited for her to return. Eventually, she did return to Tai and things were back to normal. Kari looked back toward the entrance, where Davis and Yolei were barely exiting. She allowed some tears to fall as she and Davis locked eyes. Davis almost gasped in shock, but kept it quiet.
"I'll be waiting, Davis…Be mine…"
It looks like Davis has spotted Kari in a secluded alleyway! Will he try to figure out why she's there in the morning and take Yolei home, or will he leave Yolei and go to Kari? Chap. VI up soon!
