As I promised, since no one like the pairing I'm changing the story, but who should I put him with, someone be nice enough and pick someone. There is no Yoai and maby I'll put Yolei with him…. My readers are mean but to keep them happy I've rewritten this to the way they like it.

Eternal Friendship

Part 3 - Friendship found

By Firehedgehog

Chapter One

"You told them who you were with one sentence Daisuke, I thought we were going to keep the fact we were alive a secret?" Veemon asked as the spiky haired teen appeared in front of him, Davis sighed and looked sadly at his digital partner.

"I know Vee but I had to no matter how much I knew I shouldn't, it was like a part of me forced myself to tell them... probably my connection with the digital world forced me," Davis said sadly, he closed his eyes and his head dipped slightly.

For a few seconds Veemon felt the bond between himself become stronger, he also felt the incredible bond between Davis and the digital become stronger.

Sometimes the dragon like digimon wondered how much stronger the link between Davis and the digital world would become, also he wondered what side effects it would have on them.

"There going to search for you know you know, its only a matter of time till they figure out where we are," Veemon pointed out, Davis sighed and opened his eyes.

"I know Vee, but I also know that when they find me the battle to save the digital world once again will begin," Davis said sadly, he took off his cloak and together they went to talk to Gennai.

Gatomon was very releaved when her partner was returned to her, even though she was annoyed that the portal that had dropped them off had been five feet off the ground.

"Kari, I'm so glad your okay," she said happily as her partner finally woke up, Kari gave her a thin smile that was filled with sadness and something else.

Quickly they cleaned and bandaged Kari's wounds, since Ken was still out of it Gatomon asked Kari what was wrong and also what had happened.

"I can't believe it myself but I know its true, Davis is alive," was all she could say tears in her voice, at those words the digidestined became shocked and the thing they had seen those years ago tore there lives apart once again.

***

Wizardmon sweat dropped along with the other digimon who had gone to meet this group today, while he thought it slightly amusing there actions he knew it also wasn't good. He had known that Davis had been alive, he had even been to the teens house a few times.

'This can't be good... I thought he was going to keep the fact he was alive was a secret, but I guess he decided to tell anyway' Wizardmon thought, at the edge of his vision he saw that the other digimon were becoming uncomfortable.

'If Gatomon asks about Davis I know I'll tell the truth, but I won't tell them where he lives' Wizardmon thought, he nodded at the others and he knew that they would do the same thing.

Chapter Two

Ken walked through the digital world, the purpose of this walk... well was to find someone he had thought long dead. It hurt him that Davis hadn't told him or given a clue that he was still alive, but when he found the brown eyed teen he was going to get some answers.

The two of them had been close, he knew that without Davis encouraging him he wouldn't be as happy as he was now. Of course this wasn't one of those happy moments, he was confused on why his friend would do this.

"Ken?" Wormmon asked from his arms, Ken smiled down at his digimon partner.

"Yeah?" he asked, the insect digimon looked at him with sad expressive eyes.

"I don't think Davis wanted to pretend to die, he loved being with his friends.... I think he feels awful about what he had to do," Wormmon said, Ken frowned wondering how Wormmon could know such things.

"I don't know wormmon, the most he could do was tell us that he was alive... he was my best friend and without him I wouldn't know how to be so happy in my life now," Ken said and he looked at the clear digital sky, the inset digimon sighed.

"I don't think he had a choice but to play dead, it was like someone or something was making him do it to protect us all," Wormmon whispered, Ken gave his digimon a strange look.

"Like who or what could make Davis play dead for so long?" he asked, Wormmon didn't answer but looked sadly at the forest around them.

'Davis, please tell us why you left... why you had to die to us' he thought sadly, he blinked away tears that threatend to fall.

Davis sighed to himself, at the moment Veemon and himself were sitting on the edge of the cliff watching the digital world. He was wearing clothing simular to his old digital clothing, it looked good on him.

A blue coat with flame designs on it but no furred edges, a blue t-shirt, blue jeans with flame designs on it, blue fingerless gloves also with flame designs and finally blue sneakers with flame designs.

Davis personaly thought this outfit was cool looking, sure it was more then his first outfit but everything fit good together.

He grinned knowing that Cody and Yolei had the same clothing only the size they were now, of course he knew that they hadn't realized that with enough concentration they could change there clothing to any style or design.

"Gennai told us to come here Vee, here we will meet our friends," he said with an impish smile, Veemon grinned also but it quickly faded away.

"Thats if they don't kill us first," Veemon pointed out, Davis gave a nervous laugh and scratched the back of his head.

"I know, hopefully they won't hurt me too much for playing dead," he said giving his partner a nervous smile, above the suns light was blocked by some clouds for a few seconds untill Davis calmed down.

Chapter Three

"Ken..." Wormmon said suddenly, startled the blue haired teen looked at his partner who was looking at something. Following his gaze he felt his heart skip a beat, ahead of them almost to far to see stood someone he hadn't seen in years.

"Davis," he said in a whisper, he took a deep breath and started walking in the direction his best friend was.

***

"Someones here," Veemon said, the blue dragon like digimon had noticed that blue haired teen was heading there way a bug digimon in his arms. Davis didn't turn around knowing that it was Ken, he had known that Ken was getting nearer for quite awhile.

Since the day davis had first met Ken he had felt something, some type of bond and it had helped him see the good part of Ken that the darkness had even hid from Ken.

After that there friendship bond between them had grown stronger when Davis had freed Ken from the evil and brought his heart back, while he had been mad in the beginning about the black rings he had reconized something the very first time.

It was abuse, not the kind of hitting of mental abuse... but something else. Ken had become this way from being ignored as a child and not being allowed to be himself, a type of abuse many parents did without realizing it but in the end it had been taken care of. Ken became the kind teen he was today with his parents love and support and friends by his side, he wasn't the cold pre-teen he once was.

The bond was still there but he didn't understand it, it was different then the link he shared with Veemon and the link he shared with the digital world.

"Hello Ken, sit down with me," he said once Ken was close enough to hear, he heard a startled gasp and the sound of wormmon jumping to the ground.

"Davis?" the soft voice of Ken asked, Davis sighed and turned to face the music.

"Yeah, its me," he said, his heart thumping in fear.

Chapter Four

Ken stared at Davis his afraid that the other teen would vanish in front of his eyes, nervously he walked up to Davis and sat down next to him. His legs swung as he looked down from his perch at the edge of the cliff, the ground was a long way down.

"Why?" he asked finally, Davis sighed and in that sigh Ken heard a deep sadness in it.

"I'm sorry Ken-san... it was the only way to defeat Saffron, and worse of all I had to die for you... it was the only way to keep everyone safe," Davis said, then to Kens surprise he heard the sound of soft crying.

Slowly he turned to the other teen, Davis had his knees hugged to his chest and he was crying softly. Ken looked at this in surprise, of all the things he could of expected Davis to do... crying was not one of them.

In all the time he had known the spiky haired teen he had never seen Davis cry like this, he was crying his heart out... his dying for them had hurt Davis worse then them.

"Shhh... its all right Davis, cry all you want," he whispered going closer to the other teen, he then took Davis into a hug the other boys face on his chest. Gently he rubbed Davis's back, inside of him the kindness he was known for now rose.

"Thanks... only June done that for me before," Davis sniffed, he smiled sadly at the other teen glad for that sign of friendship.

***

Davis sighed glad that they were still friends. He couldn't bear the thought of loosing his best friend, it was at that moment an explosion shook the digital world.

"What the..." Ken shouted, Davis winced for he could feel the pain of the digital world as if it was his own because of the bond he shared with this world. Slowly Davis also got to his to his feet, the sun was covered by darkness and it was quickly spreading over the digital world.

"Its here," Davis said sadly, he looked at Veemon who nodded and wormmon who was looking at the darkness.

"What is, tell me Dai?" Ken asked, Davis smiled at the nickname Ken had just giving him years ago but knew he still had to answer.

"Darkness, the final darkness we must defeat before the two worlds are finally safe forever," he said, Ken looked at the darkness his face pale... hopefully there friendship would live through the encounter.
