Chapter 2:
Coming To A Decision


I don't own Digimon what's so ever.

Davis was now at home, in his room thinking about what happen today. "That
was a dump stunt I pulled" as he remember how he used himself as a decoy. "Not only that I got DemiVeemon hurt," he looked at his bed and saw DemiVeemon resting comfortably. But he mostly thought about what Yolei had said to him right before he left.

He pulled out his D3 and D-terminal from his pocket and looked at them, *Maybe
Yolei is right. They would probably the guys would be better off if I never became a
DigiDestined. They would certainly take care of the Digimon Emperor faster if I didn't
come with them. Also it would be better for DemiVeemon if I was his partner. * After
making his decision on what to do Davis put his D3 and D-terminal down, grabbed a piece of paper and wrote something down.

Next day after school...

Kari was in the park waiting for someone. That someone was Davis. He had
asked her to meet him at the park after school. He also said to her not to tell the others about it and said it was very important. She could tell that he was seriously about this.

"Where is he?" Davis shortly arrived but on the look on his face he wasn't his
usually cheerful self. "Davis what was so important that I had to meet you and couldn't tell the others?" before continuing on she noticed that Davis wasn't wearing the goggles that Tai had given him. "And why aren't you wearing Tai's goggles?" He let out a heavy sigh and reached into his pocket and pulled out a small envelope and a small bag, "I want to take these Kari. But don't open any of them until your with T. K., Yolei and Cody. You should all be together to know what it is about. Also open the envelope up first."

With that Davis turned around and left. Kari looked puzzled as she looked at both the envelope and bag, "Davis what is this about?" Davis stopped and looked at her from over her shoulder, "Just do as I asked. What's inside the envelope will explain," then he continued to walk away from Kari.

****

After her meeting with Davis earlier Kari got the other DigiDestined together and
told them what happen with her and Davis. "So Davis just gave you an envelope and a bag and then left?" asked Yolei. Kari just nodded in response. "I just wonder why he told you not to tell the rest of us about it?" questioned Cody. "He just told me not to open either of them until we were all together." "Well, we are all together," stated T. K.. "So open them."

Just like Davis had ask she open the envelope up first. After opening it she saw it was a folded piece of paper. As she unfolded it she saw their was writing on it. "Its a letter you guys." She scanned through the letter then she went wide eyed. "Kari what does Davis say in the letter say?" asked T. K.. She looked from the letter and looked at the others, "You guys. I think you should hear this. Its serious and please don't say anything before I am finish with the letter." She cleared her throat before reading the letter.

Dear Kari, T. K., Yolei and Cody

I guess that Kari has gathered you together shortly after her meeting with
me. Don't be mad at her for not telling you about it. I asked her not to.
The reason for my meeting with her is because I needed her to get this
letter and bag. Among all of you I have know Kari the most and trust. I
just hope she is the one reading this to.

The reason for this letter is to say that since what happen yesterday I have
come to a decision. And that decision is that I resign from the
DigiDestined. It would be better for you guys if I wasn't there to cause
any trouble or screw up. Now that I have said what this is about I ask
T. K. to now open the bag.

T. K. reluctantly grabbed the bag from Kari and opened it. In side the bag were
three items. As he pulled them out he and the rest of them were shocked as what they were. The items were Davis' D3, D-terminal which had both digi eggs inside and goggles Tai gave him. Kari looked at the items for a few more seconds before reading the letter again.

I know that you guys maybe shocked about what was in the bag but let me
explain. I wish that T. K. take the goggles because all the DigiDestined
leaders should have them. That is right T. K.. I wish for you to be the new
leader of the DigiDestined. I hope you lead them will and better I could
ever have.

For my D3 and D-terminal I wish for Kari to take them. Also I want her
to take DemiVeemon for me. The reason I asked for her to take him is
because I believe she could take better care of him that I could. Kari
don't worry I will give you DemiVeemon later on. I believe he would be in
better hands with you than with me.

And finally, I would ask you guys not to blame yourselves about this. This
was my own choice. I just ask you guys not to forget about are adventures
together in the digital world. Also don't forget that even though I mostly
acted like a jerk I was there for each of you. So please do that for each
other. In conclusion I ask one more thing for you to do for me. Kick the
Digimon Emperor's ass once for me.

Sincerely yours,
Davis Motomiya,
former DigiDestined of Courage and
Friendship

All the DigiDestined were silent as they were putting what Davis had said
together. No one knew what to say at first but finally Cody was the one who broke the silence. "I can't believe it. I just can't believe Davis would do this." "I know what you mean Cody. I thought that Davis would do that," responded Yolei. "Well, Yolei, if you hadn't said that we would have been better off without him he wouldn't had left." "I didn't think he would have taken badly Cody. I was just angry with him." "I was angry with him to but I wouldn't have said that to him no matter what he did."

While Yolei and Cody were arguing Kari was just looking at Davis' D3 and
D-terminal that he had left her. Finally, she couldn't take the two arguing any longer.
"Will you guys stop it right now." Yolei and Cody immediately stopped. "Didn't you
hear what Davis' letter said. He told us not to blame ourselves. Right now we got to
decide what we should do now." She looked towards T. K. who was still looking at the goggles that were in his hands.

"So what do we do now T. K. ?" T. K. raised his head up to Kari, "What are you
asking me?" "Well, in Davis' letter he named you the leader. And until something happens your the leader." T. K. looked back down at the goggles and put them into his pocket, "I guess for now I am the leader, but just for the time being. The first thing we have to do is to try to get Davis to change his mind about leaving. Also we shouldn't tell Tai and the others about this. Not until we get this cleared up." The others nodded with T. K. and were leaving to go home. Kari was the last one to leave. She couldn't believe what Davis was thinking. When she was about to leave she grabbed the envelope and another piece of paper came out. It was more folded up then the other and it had Kari's name on it. She picked up and read it.

Dear Kari:

This letter is just for you. I didn't want the others to know this letter
because their is something I got to say and it is only to you. First off I
want to say that I want to special apologies to you. I know I said it in the
other letter but this is a different apology. I am sorry that I was always
hanging around you, even though I knew that I was bothering you. Also
sorry that I overreacted when you and T. K. hanged around with each
other.

You must have known that I had a crush on you during that. I mean, you
are too smart not to notice it. But it is just that I like you so much that I
that I wasn't thinking clearly. Now I see that I wasn't the guy for you, and
I can live with that, knowing that you are happy.

Besides deciding that I wasn't going to be a DigiDestined no more, I also
decided that I am now going to back off and give you some space. You
might be upset because you think the real reason is that I left the
DigiDestined is because of you not liking be back, but I want you to know
that you had nothing to do with it, just as much as the others did.

You may wonder why I am leaving my D3, D-terminal and DemiVeemon
with you. The reason is that I know you will take better care of him than I
ever could. I have seen you with other Digimon. You are always sweet to
them and never get mad at them, not like me. And no offense towards the
others, but I think that DemiVeemon would be better off with you. Just let
him know as well that it he had nothing to do with me leaving the
DigiDestined or leaving him. Tell him that I just want someone to take
better care of him.

One last thing. I know sooner than later you guys are going to tell Tai
and the others about this. Just tell them that this is something I had to do
and they had nothing to do with it as well. Tell Tai that he is still my idol
and a dear friend like the rest of you were. Even T. K. and Yolei were.

PS: I just want you to know Kari that what ever you do in life I will
behind you no matter what it is. Also that I will always care for you.

Sincerely your good friend,
Davis Motomiya

Kari slowly wiped away the tears from her eyes. She was moved by what Davis
had said to her in the letter, "Oh Davis." Gatomon looked up to her and was wondering what was going on, "Kari what's wrong?" Kari just gave her Davis' second letter to her. She read it for a bit and understood what was going on. "So I just you'll be taking care of DemiVeemon now all." Kari looked down at Gatomon, "Yes. Just for now. Until we can get Davis back to his senses." "No offense, but I think we will have a better chance in getting Tai to cut his hair than that." Both of them let out a laugh to that statement then their was a moment of silence.

No longer standing the quietness Gatomon finally broke the silence, "So when do
we get the little blue food disposal?" she asked referring to DemiVeemon. "I don't know. Davis' letter said that he would give him to me later on. Kari and Gatomon decided that it was time to go home but their was a little thing they were wondering about. What did DemiVeemon think about Davis' decision?

****

"But Davis. Why are you doing this? Don't you want me to be your Digimon
anymore?" whimpered DemiVeemon. Davis was laying on his bed looking at the ceiling and was listening to the little blue Digimon's questions. "No, it is not that. I just want you to be in better hands than me." "What do you mean Davis?" questioned the Digimon. "You know what I mean," as he pointed to DemiVeemon's still injured arm.

"Davis you didn't know I was going to get hurt. It was my own decision to jump
in and help you. I am after all your Digimon partner." "Yes, I know that we are partners. It is just that I don't want you to get hurt because of me. And I that is why I think Kari should take care of you instead of me. So please DemiVeemon don't argue with me about this. It is better for you if you went with Kari."

The small blue Digimon just let out a sigh, "Okay Davis, if that is what you wish.
When does Kari come to get me?" "Tomorrow. Ill will tell her to meet me after school in the park so I can giver you to her. Are you okay with that?" DemiVeemon nodded, "So this is our last day together as partners isn't it?" "Yes, I guess it is? Hey, we did have some amazing adventures together didn't we?" "Yeah we did. We are still going to be friends aren't we Davis? I mean you will come to see me occasionally won't you?" "You bet. Hey, what do you say that it is our last day together I give you the biggest bowl of your favorite ice cream you ever since as a little farewell treat?" "Make it all I can eat as well and you got yourself a deal." "You got it buddy. I just hope their is enough ice cream, knowing your appetite," laughed Davis as he picked up his little blue friend to the kitchen to spend their last few hours they had together as partners.
