Eternal Friendship
Part 1 - Of Shadows and Gates
By Firehedgehog
Chapter One
Kari sighed as she stepped into the iron fenced grave yard, in her
arms were many red roses.... she knew they had been Davis's favorite flower.
Beside her was Gatomon her digimon partner, on its cat like face concern was
written on.
"Kari, were here," Gatomon said as they came to a newer gravestone
then the rest, the gravestone was about two years old. On it the name of a
dear friend was engraved, she traced the name with her fingers tears in her
eyes. She knew that there was no body for this gravestone, she might of felt
better if there was.
"Davis we miss you, its been two years since your death and nothing is
the same. Everyday I keep expecting to hear your voice at school, and after
your death I realized that we hardly knew you," Kari said, she lay the
flowers on the grave and wipped away her tears.
"Kari," a sad voice said, the child of light looked at Gatomon.
"What Gatomon?" she asked gently, the cat like digimon looked at the
blue sky sadly.
"Do you think Davis is watching over us, you always say that angels
do... ?" Gatomon asked, at this Kari paused and then she smiled sadly.
"If I know Davis he probably is watching us all, you know how Davis
wanted to keep us all safe all the time," Kari said and Gatomon nodded, Davis
had been protective of them all... and in the end he had sacrificed himself for
everyone.
"Yeah," Gatomon said, the cat digimon then lay a small purple flower
on the grave.... this was the nearest thing they had to a grave for veemon
also.
"Huh," Gatomon said suddenly, for a second there she had thought she
had seen something. When she had turned her head nothing was there, a
chill went down her spine.
"Whats wrong?" Kari asked, Gatomon frowned.
"Nothing Kari, just shadows," Gatomon answered, and she hoped it was
just shadows. Then the two left leaving the silence of the graveyard, soon
they vanished into the city.
***
Once the two were out of sight a short robed person walked out of the
shadows, its head and face were hidden from sight with a hood. It nodded to
itself and seemed to melt back into the shadows, soon there was no clue that
the cloaked person had been there.
***
Veemon watched the human world through a glowing mirror, Gennai
let them use it all the time to keep an eye on there friends.
"Its beautiful in the human dimention today," a soft voice said,
startled Veemon spun around to see a cloaked person seem to melt out of
the shadows.
"Gatomon saw you for a split second," Veemon spointed out, with a
sigh the person took of the cloak and hood to reveal a young teenager of
fourteen years of age.
"I know Veemon, but I had to see her again... not just through the
mirror," he said, he ran a slim hand through his short spiky reddish-brown
hair.
"I know Davis but be careful, your suppose to be dead remember,"
Veemon pointed out, Davis sighed and hugged his partner to his chest.
"I know, I know," Davis said sadly, a single tear left his eyes and it left
a damp spot on the floor.
Chapter Two
Cody slowly walked through his school soccer field, once his friend
Davis had played here... but now the field didn't seem the same. He had
grown some in the two years since that terrible day, Kari and Ken had taken
it the worst.
Sometimes in his dreams he would see the energetic boy that had the
digieggs of courage and friendship, that easy going smile and those corny
jokes of his.
He grinned slightly at that thought, if Davis had heard that he would
say 'What corny jokes'. That grin faded as he remembered that it was today
two years ago Davis had been killed, he had promised to meet the others at
Izzy's for some reason also.
"Davis, where ever you are I hope your happy," he said looking at the
sky, with a small shake of his head he went to go get armodillomon.
***
"So what was this meeting called for?" Tai said once everyone had
arrived, Izzy had a small frown on his face and turned his laptop computer
so everyone could see the images on the screen.
"The digital gates to the digital world are open again... it happened
twenty minutes ago, but I also detected that someone has been using them
to go between the two world when they were closed," Izzy said and the
digidestined frowned, they knew that with the gates closed that no one
should be able to use them.
"Do you know who it was?" Tai asked, at age sixteen and after the
death of Davis he had matured much.
"No, but I'm going to try to modify the digivices so that they can track
the unknown so we can find out," Izzy said, Tai nodded and then his eyes
brightened.
"Well thats all done, since the gates to the digital world are open again
does anyone want to go?" Tai asked, there was a cheer from everyone
present.
"Lets go," the ever serious Cody said with a smile, everyone crowded
by the computer and held up there digivices.
"Digiport open!" Yolei said, there digivices flashed and they were all
sucked into the digiworld.
***
Soon the room was empty, a second later the bedroom door opened
and Izzy's mother smiled softly seeing it empty.
"Just like old times," she said with a small laugh, a sixth sense told her
that the digiport must be open again... her son had gone to the digital world
once again.
Chapter Three
Davis smiled sadly to himself as his digivice gave a sharp beeping
sound, he sighed then knowing that the digiports were open again to others.
"The others are here again, better make sure they can't track me...
would be quite complicated to explain why I'm alive and in the digital
world," Davis said holding up his digivice, with practiced movements he
activated the program that made it so the other digidestined couldn't track
him in any way.
"It would of been fun to see them again," Veemon said with a sigh,
Davis looked at his partner and smirked.
"Well we can if we want, but we can't let them know who we are,"
Davis said holding up two hooded cloaks, with a happy cry Veemon hugged
his partner.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Veemon cried very fast and happily,
Davis gave a small laugh and managed to get his partner from hugging him
to death.
"Come on, there my the snow fields," Davis said pulling on his own
cloak, humming a happy tune Veemon pulled on his own and both pulled
there hoods over there faces.
"Lets go the fast way," Veemon crowed, Davis rolled his eyes at the
energy his partner had.
"Fine, Gennai were going to spy on the other digidestined... be back in
awhile," Davis called, deeper from the house he heard Gennai call 'sure'.
With that Davis picked up his partner, then he seemed to melt into the
shadows.
***
Gennai shook his head sadly, it hurt him to watch Davis. He knew that
the boy wanted to tell his friends he was alive, yet during that battle with
Saffron the digital worlds power and somewhat merged with him somehow....
when he got to excited or emotion strange things happened in the digital
world.
"But its only time till he has to tell them he is alive, he is one of them
still and there is still plenty of danger to the digital world," Gennai whispered.
Chapter Four
Tk blinked as they appeared in fields of snow, to his startlement his
digivice beeped once and then stop. Curious he looked at his digivices screen,
he frowned when he detected nothing.
"Weird, it was almost like our digivices detected someone else here in
the digital world," Tai said, TK noticed that everyone was looking at there
digivices.
"It might be a glitch, but it could also be that person I detected
earlier... when we get back I'll check it out," Izzy said, the others nodded also
wanting to know.
"Good idea, lets go see if we can find any digimon we know," Tai said
in a cheery voice, Tk agreed and the others followed suit.
***
"There looking for you, told ya not to use the digital gate those few
times even though it was closed to everyone else," Veemon said from where
they were hiding, Davis glared at his partner.
"Hey it was faster and I was tired okay, anyway who was it that got
me tired by getting me to teach him martial arts in his advanced forms,"
countered Davis, Veemon gave him an innocent look.
Since they had so much free time Veemon had convinced him to teach
him martial arts, so Davis taught him it in each of his digital forms so that
when he digivolved you digiarmored he would be able to use it with the
different balances of his body.
"Hey, there getting away," Veemon said and Davis rolled his eyes, he
then used one of the forbidden techniques that made them invisible to the
eyes and followed them from tree to tree.
***
Kari frowned and looked around, she didn't know why but she had the
weird feeling that they were being followed. She sighed when she saw
nothing, this feeling had been persisting ever since they had arrived in the
digital world.
"You okay Kari?" TK asked coming up too her, she smiled at her
boyfriends concer.
"I'm fine TK, are we still on for our date tomorrow?' she asked, he
nodded happily.
"Of course Kari-chan," he said, they then kissed.
***
Davis looked at this and startled by there romantic moment dropped
the techniqe, realizing what he had done he quickly tried to hide in the
shadows.. but as luck had it one person had spotted him... thankfully he had
Veemon hidden inside his own cloak at the moment.
***
Gatomoon blinked in surprise as someone seemed to fade into
existance in the trees, as she watched the person seemed to fade into the
shadows.
Her eyes widened as she realized that this was what she had seen in
the graveyard earlier, angry at being spied on she his herself from view and
climbed the tree.
"Who are, show yourself," she hissed when she came to where the
shadow person was, she heard a startled gasp and someone covered in a
cloak and hood appeared out of the shadows.
"I am not of your concern Gatomon, I just like to watch those who
come to this world.. but I see that these are the chosen children so I won't
bother watching anymore," a hard voice said, then the next thing she knew
the person was totally gone and not even in the shadows this time.
"Who was that, and why does he seem familliar?" Gatomon asked
herself, from the voice she could tell that it was a he but nothing else.
'And why did he seem so sad' Gatomon thought, a deep feeling in her
heart made her decide not to tell the others of this encounter... but she
would if she met him again.
***
Davis sighed in relief as they reappeared in there home, he knew that
it had been close... good thing he had learned to make his voice sound
different.
"Have fun?" Gennai asked coming into the room, the two glared at him
knowing that he had seen everything and went to there room.
