Vegetable Soup for the Digi-romantic's Soul # 8: Daikari
Under the Mistletoe
By Carter Quetzi Tachikawa
(Hey there. Don't own Digimon as always. Here's a Daikari. Takes place during Christmas (not the same thing as the episode "A Digi Christmas"). Davis makes a bet with TK that he'll stay under the mistletoe the whole night until Kari kisses him. Set to the tune of BB Mak's "The Ghost of You and Me". Now before I begin here's what's happening after this:
1) Kekari "Spending a Day"- To help Ken get along better with the others, Kari decides to give him a boost. They spend a day together that slowly leads up to the unexpected.
2) Sorato "Sora's Song"- Sora is secretly in love with Matt but is afraid to tell him. After all, does he feel the same? As her birthday edges closer, she comes to know things she didn't know before.
3) Michi "Alone Except For the Moon"- After a party, Mimi and Tai find themselves together and alone. Strange feelings emerge from underneath and friendship blossoms into true love.
4) Daiyako "Heart to Heart"- Yolei and Davis are at the beach with the rest of the D2 kids. When tragedy arises, it seems nothing can help. As it turns out, Davis and Yolei have more in common than the realized.
-Again, I'm taking requests for anything. Jun, Willis, Michael, Digimon pairings, you name it! 5 or more requests people! That's all I ask. Well, I'll begin the story. Enjoy.)
On the day he found Kari Kamiya's Christmas present, Davis Motomiya vowed that he'd surely get her to kiss him. Perhaps admit how he felt and not act like an idiot. He had shuddered one too many times at some of his stupidest antics. But now he wouldn't fail. It was Christmas...everyone loved everyone on Christmas, right? Surely, Kari would be nice to him. Maybe she'd turn away from TK long enough to give him a kiss.
"Davis, hurry up!" His sister Jun whined. The two of them were in the mall doing some last minute shopping. The crowds were unbelievably large and almost everything that Davis wanted was gone.
"In a minute! Kari needs the perfect present!" he hissed.
"So does Matt!" she shot back. Then she got that lovesick look on her face again. "He's so cute and sweet and he'll be heartbroken if he doesn't get a present from me!"
"I don't think he'd care", Davis muttered.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing! Go on, Jun! Go look for Matt's present! I'll be down here."
"Well...okay", Jun shrugged and went upstairs.
The soft music in the mall began to play and Davis started humming to it. Then he frowned. What would Kari like? Buying for girls was hard!
"Hey, Davis!" a voice perked up from behind.
"Huh? Oh!" he turned to find Yolei Inoue and Cody Hida also shopping. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Shopping like you. What are you doing in the jewelry section of this store, Davis?" Cody asked.
"Uh...I happen to like jewelry very much!"
"That's a first. Yesterday you said you wouldn't be caught dead in diamonds and pearls", Yolei giggled. Cody joined her while Davis turned crimson.
"Admit it, Davis. You're looking for Kari's present", Cody pointed out.
"Uh..."
"It's okay. I'm still looking for TK's present", Yolei said. "Well, good luck! I'll see you at the Christmas party tonight!"
"Christmas party?"
"You forgot, didn't you?" Cody sighed. "There's a party at Kari's place...remember? (Author's note: This has nothing to do with "A Digi Christmas". It's a completely different story)
"Oh...yeah. I remembered. I just forgot!" Davis laughed.
Yolei smiled. "See you later."
"Yeah, bye!" Cody waved as he turned around.
"Bye", Davis waved back. Jun came bouncing by with ten boxes in her hands.
"What do you think, Davis?" she asked.
"You're giving all that to Matt?!" he exclaimed.
"No, I'm giving them to you. Of course they're for Matt! Only that blond, blue-eyed Earth angel deserves to have all the presents in the world", Jun said dreamily.
Davis looked at them. "Cheese...sausages...crackers...oh, I get it!"
"Get what?"
"You're trying to make him fat and ugly like you! That way you'll have no differences!"
Jun slapped him.
"Ouch! Go buy more presents for Matt! I'm still busy."
"You're the fat, ugly one", Jun muttered as she left.
Davis' eye finally caught the perfect present. It was a bracelet with pink and blue gems that came with a pair of matching earrings. He picked it up and smiled.
"Yeah! I got the best present for Kari! And I can afford it! Oh man! She's going to love this!"
Happily, Davis walked up to the register to pay for the gift. Right behind, Jun stood holding about twenty boxes. All of them...presents for Matt.
* * *
"Hey Davis!" Was how the night began. Everyone was there, old and new Digidestined as well as kids who weren't DD. Their Digimon...well, they were making themselves comfortable by the buffet table. Davis clutched the small box wrapped in purple paper with the name "Kari" scribbled on it. Jun started handing poor Matt present after present. Davis doubted that he'd opened all of them.
"Hi, Davis!" a new voice perked up. He saw TK and Kari walking together. His heart sank. That couldn't happen. He wasn't supposed to have Kari!
"Hey, TJ", he muttered. He didn't say a word to Kari.
"Davis?" Kari looked at him questioningly.
"Oh, hi Kari", he muttered.
Kari looked at TK and then left. Seeing Davis' expression, TK walked over to him.
"Look Davis, are you upset cause Kari's with me?" he asked.
"No duh, TR! Kari's supposed to be mine!"
"We can't make her choose who she wants, Davis."
"Oh yes, I can! I bet you ten bucks that if I stand under the mistletoe the whole night, Kari will kiss me!"
"I don't think that's..."
"What, are you afraid you'll lose the bet?" Davis asked slyly.
"No, it's just that I think it's foolish. Why would you want to stand under the mistletoe all night long? Besides, Kari may decide not to kiss you."
"That's what you're saying, TP! I'll stand under that mistletoe starting...now!" With those words, Davis stood under the mistletoe.
"You're gonna feel dumb, Davis. When it's all over, you'll feel dumb", TK warned.
"Whatever, TF!"
The night went by as Davis clutched the present, still standing under the mistletoe. No one dared to come near it. Jun looked at him strangely but then ignored him. A few people began whispering but no one approached him. Davis' gaze was on Kari who was talking with everyone. She occasionally glanced at his direction but then her gaze averted back to her friends. He watched as Kari danced with TK several times. Then she danced with the other Digidestined boys, including Matt (much to Jun's dismay) Of course, she didn't have a thing for them. They were just dancing, right? They had to!
Time began to pass. Davis watched as people danced even more. Kari wasn't coming near the mistletoe. Was she trying to avoid him? As Davis tried to pay attention to Kari, Jun dragged Matt to the dance floor and nearly killed him with her dancing 'ability'. Typical.
"Hey, Davis, give it up!" TK said. "You're missing all the fun!"
"Come on, Davis! Dance with me!" Demiveemon said.
"No! I'm waiting for Kari!"
"Davis..."
"Play with the others. Kari still needs to kiss me."
But time went faster and it was almost midnight. Davis started to lose hope. Kari and TK were on the dance floor more than anything. Still gripping her present, Davis sank to the ground and tried to go back to the first time he saw Kari.
What am I suppose to do with all these blues
Haunting me everywhere no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will this night be over?
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love. It's robbery.
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by
Phantom ships lost at sea and one of them is mine
Raising my glass, I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why the stars don't seem to guide me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love. It's robbery.
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
The ghost of you and me. When will it set me free?
I hear the voices call, following footsteps down the hall
Trying to say what's left of my heart and soul...
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will this night be over?
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love. It's robbery.
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love. It's robbery.
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
"Kari", Davis whispered. "I'm waiting here. You're the reason I'm not having any fun at this party. Kiss me and let me go already!"
"Davis, are you talking to yourself?" Demiveemon asked.
"It's obvious that I am! Go play with the others, Demiveemon!"
"Davis, you're not happy! Why?"
"Kari hasn't kissed me yet. She needs to kiss me so I can have fun but until then, I'm stuck under the mistletoe!"
"Why don't you just leave? Did someone superglue you under the mistletoe?"
"No. If I leave...I lose my bet. And I'll lose my chance of getting Kari to kiss me."
"Davis, don't lose heart. She'll come around."
"I hope so."
"Now let's eat!" With that, Demiveemon hopped back to the buffet table. Davis felt blue inside again. Kari was out there in the middle of the dance floor, laughing and having fun. He was here by himself waiting. The night was coming to a close and people were starting to go home.
"Oh Davis!" Jun sang out walking over to him.
"What?!"
"My friends and I are leaving for home."
"You're gonna stalk Matt, aren't you?"
"You could say that! Well, bye!"
"Bye."
He looked at the time on the clock. The minute hand slowly edged over, making it officially midnight and the end of the party.
Kari still hadn't kissed him under the mistletoe.
* * *
Half an hour later, Kari came back upstairs. It had been a long night and the party had gone well. Her brother and Gatomon helped with the clean up.
"Tai, what was Davis doing under the mistletoe?" she asked.
"Evidently waiting for someone to kiss him", Tai said dumping a paper plate into the trash.
"Hey...did he ever leave?" Gatomon asked.
"Um...I don't remember", Kari said as she got out the broom and dustpan. "Tai, did you see Davis leave?"
"No. I saw Jun leave and assumed Davis went with her."
"Davis stalking Matt with his sister? I don't think so." Kari shook her head. "I'll go to the other room and clean it up."
Kari regretted not being able to talk to Davis the whole night. The guy could be as stubborn as her brother sometimes. Still...she felt for him. He was probably waiting for someone to give him a kiss and no one did. He must have been ripped to shreds afterwards. Kari went inside the room...and saw Davis asleep under the mistletoe.
"Oh Davis!" she sighed. "You didn't leave? Your parents are probably worried!"
Walking over, she saw a small package wrapped in purple paper with her name on it. There was also a tiny note scribbled on a napkin.
Dear Kari,
Merry Christmas! I bought this at the last minute. If you don't like it, you can return it. I always wanted to tell you this. I do love you. I'm not a shy person but...I couldn't tell you that. I understand that you and TJ are really good friends. Heck, we all are! I want you to know that I do care and I'll always be there for you whether it's Christmas time or Independence Day. I'll be there whenever you need me. Well, that's really all I wanted to say. I love you and thanks for inviting me.
Always,
Davis Motomiya
"I must have been the girl you were waiting for", Kari realized. "Oh Davis, I'm sorry! I never knew."
"Kari, it's Jun! She says Davis didn't come home and the family's worried!" Tai yelled.
"He's here! Tell them he's all right!"
"Okay!"
Kari opened up the present. She picked up the bracelet and earrings.
"I can't return this", she said. "It's beautiful."
Kari handed him ten bucks that TK had given her and started to head upstairs but then remembered something. She leaned over Davis' sleeping body.
"I love you too", she whispered.
And with that, she kissed him under the mistletoe.
Yes, that's the Daikari. Next up is Kekari. Oh yeah, the kids are probably two years older than they are in D2. Please R & R. Carter
