Vegetable Soup for the Digi-romantic's Soul #12: Daiyako
Heart to Heart
By Carter Quetzi Tachikawa
(Wow, I'm almost done with the first thirteen! Just squeeze the Koukari and I'll be done with the first installment. I know I took forever to write this one but it's here! I did this in the middle of exams. I've been asked to do Takimi, Yakari, and other couples. I'll try to get to those a.s.a.p. Anyway, I don't own Digimon. I warn you though. This IS A SAD FIC. Break out your tissues if you need 'em. The next story will be emotional as well but not sad. Be warned. Now read and review)
JULY 14, 12:34 PM...
"Hey, Davis! Catch!" TK Takaishi threw the Frisbee at Davis Motomiya. Davis was about to get it when Demiveemon leaped off his head and caught it instead.
"Demiveemon, that was for me!" Davis whined.
"Hey, I thought we're a team!" Demiveemon pointed out.
"At this rate, we're..." Davis began but Yolei Inoue cut him off.
"Leave the little guy alone, Davis. He just wants some fun", she said. She and her digimon, Poromon, were basking in the sun next to Kari Kamiya and Gatomon. Cody Hida was splashing by the edge of the water. Ken Ichijouji sat a foot away from them looking at what was going on. The children had decided today was the perfect day to spend at the beach. All in all, it was a peaceful sight.
"Hey, Davis! Heads up!" TK threw the Frisbee again...and once again, Demiveemon caught it.
"Let's take a time out, TJ! I'm beat!" Davis plopped down on the floor.
"Yeah...cause I just beat you!" TK said happily as he and Patamon celebrated.
"I need to teach you something called 'teamwork'", Davis said to Demiveemon.
"That's what all the other kids said to you."
"Ah, whatever!"
Yolei took off her glasses and looked at the sun. Kari followed her gaze.
"What's up, Yolei?" she asked.
"I thought I heard someone calling for help", she said.
"Must have been the tiny voice in Davis' head", Gatomon said with a smirk. "It was probably asking for help in Frisbee."
"That may not be the only thing Davis needs help in!" Kari laughed.
Cody, meanwhile, was begging for everyone else to come in the water.
"The water's great!" he insisted. "Come on, TK! Ken! Davis!"
"Oh, what the hey! Ready or not, here I come!" TK took off his hat and shirt, threw them on the sand, and ran into the waves.
"I think I'll join you too", Ken said. He followed TK into the water.
"Wait for me!" Patamon added.
"And me!" Wormmon said.
"And don't forget me!" Upamon finished off.
"Davis and I are coming too!" Demiveemon put in.
"Uh...no! Buddy, you go on your own! I...I don't feel like..."
"You don't feel like swimming? Are you okay?"
"It's not that. It's..." Davis trailed off and looked at the raging waters before him. They held too many bad memories.
Yes, I AM DOING ANOTHER FLASHBACK...
"Davis, don't go in the water!"
The younger Motomiya ran into the waves, despite what his sister was saying. He loved the ocean and swimming was his favorite thing in the world to do. He didn't care what Jun was saying.
"Look at the sky, doofus! It's gonna pour soon!"
Davis ignored and swam out even farther. No one was going to stop him. He never wanted to leave the waters. Jun could keep on screaming at him but he wouldn't listen. It was his day! He wanted to show off his swimming.
"Look at me, Jun!"
"Davis, I'm warning you! Get out of there!"
"No!"
"Davis!"
Farther and farther...
"Davis! Come back!"
Farther and farther...nothing would stop him...
"DAVIS!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!"
Waves...up and down they went...it was hard to swim with them...he felt weak...
"HELP!!!!!!!"
"DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then he began to sink...
END OF FLASHBACK...
Davis looked at the waters that had taunted him so long. That night when he almost drowned...they had been unforgiving. One waved knocked him over and dragged him down. He tried to swim up but couldn't. Thankfully, a lifeguard saw him and brought him to shore. His family was hysterical, even his sister. He should have listened to Jun. When they pulled him out, Davis wasn't breathing. They rushed him over to the hospital where he recovered. Things went back to normal except for one...Davis never wanted to swim in the ocean again.
"Davis, are you okay?" Demiveemon repeated the question.
"Yeah! I just don't want to swim! Now, go and play with the others it you want", Davis shooed the little blue digimon away. Demiveemon looked concerned for a minute and them went to play with the others.
Yolei had witnessed the whole scene and she too was concerned. Why on earth was Davis not willing to swim in the ocean? It would be one thing if he didn't like swimming. But he was an athletic, fun loving kid. The look in his eye was one of fear.
"Kari?" she began.
"Yeah?"
"Does Davis appear a little...scared to you?"
"Scared about what?"
"Didn't you see what happened right there?"
"Oh yeah. Demiveemon wanted him to swim but he didn't. I wonder why."
"Do you...think Davis is afraid...of the water?"
"What?"
"He hasn't gone near it once..."
"That doesn't mean he's afraid."
"I don't know..."
"Yolei, let it rest. I'm sure whatever's bothering Davis will pass."
"I hope so."
Yolei secretly liked Davis. True, he acted like a dunce but deep down, she saw he had feelings. She knew he deeply cared about the others. She felt bad when that one time when they fought Ken as the Digimon Emperor, who had enslaved Agumon. The way the others chastised Davis for tiny things...it made her feel sorry for him. He just had a bad of showing how much he cared. She wished they all would be a little sympathetic. She had to admit she didn't act that way to him all the time...but then again, she wanted him to know she cared about him.
"Hey, Davis! Come on in!" TK was swimming on his back.
"No, I like it here. But thanks!"
Yolei detected the fear linger in Davis' voice. Maybe he was scared of the water...
"Whee!" The Digimon screamed. Poromon looked at Yolei.
"I'm going to join them. Wanna come?"
"No, thanks. I'll work on my tan some more."
"Whatever suits you! Bye bye!"
Poromon and Gatomon hopped off to join the boys. A minute later, Kari went into the water. Soon it was only Yolei and Davis on the sand. Feeling bad again, Yolei got off her chair and walked over to where Davis was.
"Hey there", she said softly. A bit startled, Davis turned around.
"Oh...hey", he replied.
"Mind if I sit next to you?"
"Go ahead."
Yolei put her towel on the ground and sat down. "So why are you here?"
"Cause I felt like it."
"You okay?"
"Uh-huh."
"Why didn't you want to go with the others?"
"I don't like swimming."
"Really?" Yolei was skeptical. "When you were little, I used to watch you go to the community pool and swim in the Olympic sized pool. You were small...but you were really good."
"That was in the past! I don't like it anymore!" Davis snapped.
"Okay, okay. I must have hit a raw nerve or something. Sheesh!" Yolei turned away for a second.
"I'm sorry. I'm not..." Davis began but stopped.
"You're not what?"
"Never mind!"
"You can tell me. I don't bite."
"I don't believe you!"
Yolei felt her temper rise and cheeks get hot. Davis could be so difficult sometimes! "What is wrong with you?!"
"Nothing is wrong with me! Why don't I want to swim?! I don't like it! I don't like oceans! I don't want to talk about it! Just leave me alone!" Davis turned away from her completely.
"Fine! Don't have a cow", Yolei muttered.
The sky was beginning to get dark again. The clouds started to cover everything up and one by one, people came out. The Digidestined and their Digimon came out too.
"Man, you missed out on a lot!" TK told Davis.
"I won Marco Polo three times in a row!" Poromon said happily.
"Good for you", Davis murmured.
"Let's get some ice cream. I'm hungry", Wormmon said.
"Easy there! We'll get going soon. Anyway, it's going to rain soon. Let's pack our stuff up." Ken suggested. Agreeing, the Digidestined began to put things away. Davis, meanwhile, sat on the sand.
"Aren't you coming?" Yolei asked.
"Why?"
"Because...we're leaving."
"And?"
"You bought half this junk. It's only right you help."
"Fine! Just give me a minute!" Davis said. He sighed and looked back up at the sky. This is how it had begun...the sky got dark and he went into the water.
"Help!"
Davis turned around, annoyed. "I said I'd help you later!"
"I didn't say anything to you!" Yolei yelled back.
"Help!"
"Then who?"
"HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!"
Finally, everyone saw it. A little boy was drowning in the water. Davis suddenly felt the flashbacks running through his mind. It was happening all over again. He'd been through it before, another case of déjà vu.
"That poor kid!" Kari exclaimed.
"We gotta do something!" Ken added.
"How will we reach him in time?!" TK asked.
"We have to reach him!" Cody pointed out.
"Hang in there!" Yolei yelled. "We'll get you out!"
Davis was frozen in one place. He didn't like it...the waves were getting bigger. The kid had no chance of making it to shore on his own.
"Davis, do something!" Yolei screamed at him.
Almost immediately, Davis Motomiya threw off his shirt and shoes and plunged into the water. Once there, he began swimming to the boy's aid.
"Are you completely insane?!" Kari yelled at him.
Insane enough to confront my fears and save a kid from suffering a really bad fate? Davis thought. Oh yeah!
"Davis! Davis!" Everyone screamed.
It's happening again...
"Davis, come back!"
"No!"
The waves crashing...the sky's getting darker...
"Help me!!!!!!!!"
"I'm...coming!" Davis took in a mouthful of salt water but he spat it out. Further and further, he went for the boy.
"DAVIS!!!!!!!!"
I'm not quitting...the kid needs me...
"Hang...on...kid!"
The kid went under the waves. Davis dove under to find him.
Where are you, kid? Come on!
The waters hadn't changed. It was all the same. The waters were still murky green and the salt stung. Davis searched everywhere. The kid wasn't to be found. He went up and took a breath. He went back down and found him. The kid was floating in the water, unconscious like Davis had been. Grabbing him, he swam up to the surface and took a breath.
"You'll be fine, kid", he whispered. "You'll be fine!"
The kid didn't hear him. Lifeguards were coming in to get them both. He could still hear his friends calling. But things would be fine. Things would be...
Davis passed out.
IN ODAIBA HOSPITAL...
"Shh! He's waking up!"
"Uh?" Was Davis' first reply. He opened his eyes to find everyone looking down at him. "What the..."
"You're in the hospital." Kari pointed. "You and that boy were taken in for special care."
"What happened?"
"We don't know about the boy yet. They didn't tell us anything", TK said.
"You were very brave, Davis", Cody said admiringly. "I was in awe the whole time."
"Me too. That boy owes you his life", Ken said.
"It was nothing", Davis shrugged.
"Do you guys mind if Davis and I talk alone? I want to have a heart to heart with him." Yolei asked.
"Sure", the others left. Yolei sat down next to Davis.
"Why'd you do it?" she asked.
"He was drowning, Yolei! I didn't want him to die!"
"But you were scared of the water! I saw you...it was like you were afraid of the ocean."
Davis gulped. "I was."
"Hmmm?"
"I was afraid of the ocean...cause I almost drowned like that kid."
"Oh. So that's why..."
"I didn't swim with TG and the others", Davis finished off. "Jun told me not to go deeper but I did. Everything happened all over again at the beach, Yolei. Everything. It's...it's..."
"Déjà vu?"
"Yeah, whatever you just said."
"Do you think you're over your fear?" Yolei asked.
"Maybe...first I have to see the kid...I want to know if he's..."
"Cause let me tell you a secret." Yolei said lowering her voice. "I am afraid of water too. That's why I didn't go near it at all today. I never drowned but I always had the fear of drowning. I probably can't be as brave as you. That's why I didn't follow."
"Yolei...what happened to the kid?"
"The kid?"
"Yeah. How's he doing?"
"Davis...Yolei..." TK came in looking solemn. Behind him, they could hear a lady sobbing. They heard Kari blow her nose. "I'm afraid I have bad news."
"How's the kid?" Yolei asked softly.
"I don't want to tell you..."
"TH! What happened to the kid?! Is he all right or not?!"
"I can't..."
"TK, please!"
"I'm afraid...even though you saved him from the water, he still drowned. They tried all they could. He died. I'm sorry", TK had a hard time getting the words out. Afraid he breakdown, TK ran out. Davis and Yolei were shocked for a minute.
"You mean all my attempts were for nothing?! That's not fair!" Davis yelled. "That kid shouldn't die! I...I...I...didn't save him! It's..." Davis began to cry. Yolei grabbed him by the shoulders and cried with him.
"It's not fair!" he sobbed.
"No", Yolei agreed. She leaned over and kissed him. "But you're still a hero."
"I..."
"You'll always be a hero." she kissed him again. Davis returned it.
"It's not fair. Not fair..."
"I love you...you tried." She whispered. Then they collapsed into sobs.
Hmmm...maybe I should have changed the title. Since Yolei and Davis had two short heart to hearts. It wasn't as sad as I wanted it to be but...who knows? The Koukari won't be sad, I promise. Anyway, r & r. Carter
