Disclaimer : Wait! *Run to somewhere, and when comes back, is dressed like Akiyoshi Hongo* *Makes a male voice* Hi, I'm Akiyoshi Hongo, and yes, I own Digimon.
Claire: What a stupid costume!! It's all torn and dirty, yuck! Lily, where did you get this?
Me: Where? I don't know! It was behind that wall.
Davis: *Sweatdrop* You found it behind a wall?
Me: Yeah!
Claire: *Sweatdrop* I'll pretend I didn't heard that... But well, she's Lily, and she's not Akiyoshi Hongo!
Davis: Yep, and let's begin this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Claire and Davis went to the Living room where all the others were. Claire looked to each face, and smiled at the sign of Ken.
"Now I see. What's your name?" she asked him.
"It's Ken... Ken Ichijouji." He said.
"You look exactly like a person I've known before. His name was Keith." She said smiling.
Everyone introduced themselves, and Claire became happy in having so many people trying to save her. She told them her story, the same one she told Davis before, and everybody were touched by such sad story. But Davis noticed something... Two people were missing...
"Hey! Where's Arthur and Naru?" he asked, and everyone looked around. They really weren't everywhere in sign.
Meanwhile, outside the castle...
Arthur was looking to the gates of the castle. A mean grin appearing on his pale face. Naru that was looking for him, that disappeared before they entered the castle, when they found Claire, found him there.
"What's wrong, Arthur? You don't seem yourself since Davis brought Claire out of the castle. Something wrong?" she asked, and he looked at her. His eyes were different. They had a different kind of glow... A malefic kind of glow... Naru took a few steps backwards and Arthur just said:
"Nothing's wrong, Naru. Nothing." He said, before entering the castle. Naru got back from her trance, and followed him.
When they reached the Living Room where the others were, Davis sighed.
"Finally! I was thinking on where were you two. Now, Claire, these are..."
"Naru McLaureen."
"Arthur Yue." They introduced themselves. Claire smiled at Naru, but when she looked at Arthur... Her face lost its color... She jumped from where she was sitting, and just stared at the boy. Something in him reminded her of someone. Someone she thought she would never see again.
"Nice to meet you all, friends. Thanks for helping me out of that ice. Now, if you excuse me, it's getting dark, and I'll go to my room, k?" she said, and with that, got out of the room. Everyone took a room, Ken and Davis in one, TK and Kari in another, just as Ken and Yolei, Arthur and Naru, Matt and Mimi and Tai and Sora.
Before going to bed, Davis went to Claire's room. He wanted to ask her something. He entered there, and found Claire looking by the window, at the sky. He walked towards her and sit beside her.
"Claire..." he began.
"You can say, Davis." She said softly, looking at him.
"You said that Daisuke, the one you loved, would reincarnate and would save you... Isn't it?" he asked, and she nodded.
"Well, then you said that only the chosen one could catch and use the Legendary Crystal Blade, isn't it?" he continued, and she nodded again.
"Then... Does that mean... I'm..." he tried to say, and she smiled, and nodded.
"Yes, Davis. You're Daisuke's reincarnation. You look just like him, and your souls, are a lot alike." She said.
"But I... I'm not like him... Like you told me, he was a great and courageous guy... He always helped people and I... I'm just a stubborn prince..." he was saying, but was stopped by Claire, that put a finger on his lips, making him blush.
"You're wrong, Davis. You should know that I can read minds and souls. And when I kissed you (yes, he blushed at this statement) I read your soul. And I can tell you. I, the only one that really knew Daisuke McClaude, can tell that your soul is just like his. You're courageous too. You're kind too. And you have love in your heart too." She said, and Davis looked at her surprised.
"You...!! Know!" he said.
"Yes, I know exactly why you saved me. You love Hikari and you wanted me to see if she loves you too. Davis, I'll tell you something: Kari loves TK. A lot. And if she doesn't love you like the way you love her, there's nothing I can do to help... I can't make someone love another... And with Kari's love with TK, I really can't do anything... Sorry..." she said, looking down.
"It's okay..." Davis said, and Claire immediately looked up at him. He was trying his best to hold the tears.
"But could you see?" he asked. Claire smiled and nodded. She went near him, and kissed his cheek, which made him blush.
"Good Luck." She said.
In another room...
Arthur looked at the sky. The same strange grin still on his face. But now, he said something very strange too...
"Claire, dear Claire... Soon you'll be mine, like promised." He said. Naru, that was half-asleep in their bed (they were friends by the way..) heard that and became a lot confused.
"What are you talking about? Are okay, Arthur?" she asked, walking towards him. When he looked at her she stopped where she was.
"Yes, Allison, I'm okay. I'm great." He said.
"Allison? My name's Naru, Art..." but before she could finish her sentence, Arthur grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in front of him, their faces inches away, Naru's back facing a wall, and she blushing madly.
"Arthur... What are you... doing?" she said, before he leaned and kissed her deeply on the lips. Something strange happened while they were kissing. A strange blue aura appeared around Naru, and when he broke the kiss, the aura disappeared, and Naru kept her eyes closed.
"Humans theses days. So easy to manipulate. Luckily she loved Arthur. Now, dear Allison, you're going to help me, aren't you?" he said to the figure in front of him.
"Yes... Master." She said, opening her eyes. They had lost their glow. They now were just two orbs without life.
"Now, you don't have anyone to protect you, Claire. And soon you'll regret about what you did to me in the past. Allison. Be ready. I have a plan, and you're in it." He said, as the girl kneeled in front of him.
"Yes master... Ryo."
