Chapter One ~Davis gets a new crush~

After all the battles were won, after all fights seemed to end, after peace finally rested on the digital world, the digidestined put away their digivices, and left their digimon to live in the digital world. Only two and a half years had passed, but lives ticked on in the dull silence peace brought to Odaiba. Sixteen year old Kari and fifteen year old TK became very close; eighteen year old Tai and seventeen year old Sora became engaged, and ninteen year old Ken andseventeen year old Yolie begun dating. Twenty year old Izzy bought a computor company, and twenty-two year old Joe got his own walk-in clinic. Nineteen year old Matt became a world renowned (outlawed) rock star, and seventeen year old Mimistayed in America, becoming addicted to the ease of North American society. Eighteen year old Davis still lusted after Kari, but grew further and further from his crush on her, and closer and closer to accepting that she'd never love her the way he did. Davis also begun having problems at home; his mother got mentally unstable, and became schizophrenic. He moved out to live on his own, and Veemon stayed with him. Fourteen year old Cody studied Judo with more passion and dedication when he had to send Armadillomon to the digital world; and became a cold, void fighter. In the digital world, the digimon all chose sectors of the digital world to guard just in case evil again arose. They knew that it would be back; it always is; just like Patamon returned to TK, evil would find a way to come back.

Rika ran home as fast as she could. Rennamon was right behind her. She couldn't believe that digimon actually thought she would abandon Rennamon to become...she couldn't even THINK about it. She begun to run faster away from him. But, Icedevimon wasn't going to give up that easilly. He watched her run."If I can't have you now then I will have another one more easilly seduced by my power!" he said to the out of range girl, opening a digital portal. He flew through just after spitting at her running away form.

Davis slouched lazilly in his seat. He'd gotten in to Grade 12 along with the other digidestined - accept for Joe, who graduated early, and took university courses in his spare time with homeschooling. It was early in September; and everyone was in their classes for a long, boring day of lectures. First class snailed by; and finally, the bell rung. Davis slowly rose from his chair, and left to join his friends after final class. As he stepped out of the door, he felt suddenly drafty. Looking down, he noticed that he was wearing no pants. Looking up and preparing to run, his eyes focused on Kari, who was turning red, laughing so hard. Then, a sharp pain burned on his hand. He begun to scream, and then awoke. His teacher was looming over him, a ruler in hand."Young man, I appreciate the attempt to clean the desk, but drooling all over it is NOT the way to do that. Get up, please."

"Uuuh, yessir." he responded, shrinking down in his seat, blushing. Kari laughed lightly from behind him. The teacher ambled back up to the front, and sat down just as a girl walked into the class.

"Oh, I thought you were coming tomorrow...and your really late, there's only a few minutes before class ends...oh well.

There's a seat next to Davis. Watch out, he's raring to go now that he's had a nap. Please, introduce yourself to the class." he said, motioning to the red faced teen. The girl looked at Davis curiously, and smiled. She had long, blonde hair with a slight curl to it scraping her shoulder blades. It shimmered in the light. She also had baby blue eyes, just like the colour of ice, but filled with love that radiated from her sleek and curved form. She was wearing a frilly, baby purple western style shirt, and a pair of black jeans. Before she spoke, she licked her lips slighty, making a few boys have to pull down their shirts a little.

"The principal told me to come here." she said to the princpal, then turned to the class and said, "I'm Jade Li. I'm from Canada, I'm Seventeen, and came here to live. I'm decent in Japanese, but I'm greatful I came to a fluently English section of Japan. Odaiba is great!" she stated, noticing that Davis was staring at her. "He's cute." she thought to herself, walking to

the desk, taking the chair next to him. She didn't notice him shaking his head.

"Hey Jade, I'm Davis. The two girls behind us are Yolie and Kari, Matt's the leather clad guy in the front, Tai's beside him, and way in the top corner over there is Ken and TK. Seeing as you're new here, do you want us to show you around? We're all a big knott of friends. We'll show you around."

"Hey everyone, I'll say hi to Ken and TB later. I'd love to be shown around. Thank You!"

"Great! And, his name's TK." Davis said with a smile, remembering his own flubbs with the boy's name. Returning his gaze back to the teacher, whom was looking at him with an irritated look on his face, the teacher opened his mouth to speak, but the bell rang, stopping him from saying anything. The digidestined crew flew from the room along with the other students. Davis took his time leaving, as he waited for Jade, who slowly rose, and strolled out of the room. The group was waiting outside of the classroom. "Thanks for waiting, guys. We're going to show Jade here around and about Odaiba. Since she's new, she doesn't know her way around. So, I volunteered us!" Jade smiled at Davis.

"I never said I didn't know my way around. What I said was I'm from Canada, and that Odaiba was great."

"Oh. So why-"

"Don't even try to figure me out. Alot of people have tried, and failed." she said as the group migrated off the school's property.

"Oooh, can we go over to the ice cream shop?" Yolie piped up, running up beside Davis.

"I guess so. It's not up to me. Ask everyone else." the purple haired girl turned around, and nearly everyone nodded.

"Then it's decided; we'll go get ice cream!" Jade silenty folowed the group as they meandered towards "the frozen joy parlor". They entered, and everyone strolled up to the cashiers, accept for Jade who flopped down in a seat. Matt noticed, and sat across from her.

"Don't think we've officcially met yet. I'm Matt. Don't like ice cream?" he said, casting his sky blue eyes flirtively across her face.

"I'm Jade. But, you know that. And no, I don't. It...reacts with me."

"Me neither. I hate it." Just then, TK walked over, and looked at his big brother.

"Hey Matt, what's up? Not having any ice cream? You liked it yesterday when you had a litre of it for breakfast." Matt just glared at him, stood up, and sauntered to the group awaiting their cones. TK sat down where Matt was.

"Sorry about that. He hasn't seen a hot girl in years. I guess he was totally stunned by you." he said, doing the same eye-thing.

"Is it genetic?" she thought, tuning him out. Seeing her plight, Davis walked over and slid in beside her.

"You're not having ice cream, Jade?"

"No...I don't have any money on me. I'm ok." she said, smiling to him. TK gave Davis a look, that if looks could kill, he'd be dead. He got up and left. "Uh, thanks. I was getting scared."

"Well, you can't blame them. You're quite beautiful." he begun. "

"Oh great, not him, to..." she thought, then Davis continued.

"If you want to have a cone, I'll get it for you. I have a couple hundred yen left. Should be enough."

"Nah, I'm ok...I don't want to impose."

"No, go ahead! Get one! I really don't mind. It's burning a hole in my pocket anyway."

"You sure, Davis? I can manage without one..."

"Now that's enough. You get up there and get yourself a cone. Double scoops. Ok?" Davis said, tossing two one hundred yen notes at her. Jade smiled kindly, and got up. She motioned for him to come with her, and he followed her up to the cashier, as the rest of the gang went to sit down. Matt looked at Davis with a hint of jealosy in his gentle eyes. Jade laughed lightly,

and winked at Davis, who expertly hid a light red blush.

"Hello, what would you like?" asked the tiller, a young pimply teenager. He looked overwhelmed by the sudden wave of teenagers wanting ice cream.

"I'll have a single scoop vanilla cone please..." she said meekly.

"No, she'll have a double scoop of icicle rush." he said, smiling. The tiller looked at her, and Jade shrugged nonchillantly. The tiller nodded and begun to scoop the order. Icicle rush was a vanilla ice cream with little icicle shaped sour blueberry flavored ice inside. Jade looked at Davis oddly, who looked back and grinned sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. I meant a double scoop when I said it. I should have let you have vanilla."

"Nah, it sounds good. I like icy things anyway." the tiller then handed her the cone.

"Let's go join everyone else...as long as we don't sit by Matt and TK." Davis laughed at her, and took a seat beside Tai and Sora. Just before Jade got a chance to say anything to anyone, Kari stood up, and looked rather upset.

"TK, you really have no brain, do you? Don't look at her like that! She probably doesn't even LIKE you! You're such a moron! You used to look at ME like that!" she yelled at him, and whacked away, shoving his ice cream in his face. TK just stood there, stunned.

"What did I do?" he asked, wiping the icy substance from his face. No one answered him. "I guess I should go after her."

"Might be an idea, bro." Matt said, smirking. He did just that.

"I guess it's sort of my fault..." Jade said, blushing as TK left. She then buried her reddening face on her cone, licking it.

"No, it's not, unless it's your fault for being beautiful. TK hasn't been himself since Kari and him begun to date. I think he's

regretting alot. He's probably just thinking alot of things through and you are just to pretty for him not to look, and Kari is getting offended." Davis said, plainly. When everyone was staring at him in disbelief, he begun to get self consious, and blushed. "WHERE did THAT come from?" he exclaimed, stunned by his own brain power.

"Where DID that come from?!?" reitterated Tai, Ken, and Yolie. Davis shrugged. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure standing a little bit from the group. He looked to see a very dark looking, black clothing wearing Cody.

"So, the gang decided to hang out and forgot about me again, huh? Figures. No one ever considers me anymore. And who's she? Another digidestined? When were you going to tell ME about her? Screw you guys. I'm out! Just replace me or something. Oh wait, you already have!" he exploded, then ran from the building. Matt got up and followed him. No one noticed Jade, who was a little pale, and in pain. Everyone looked at her when she moaned in agony. In her mind flashed an image; a

monster like creature that LOOKED human, but he looked like a walking iceman; he appeared to be a bit over six feet tall, had arms past his knees, and bore wings the shade of frozen water. His whole body was that colour, accept for a few darker blue spots. The figure rose his arm, and moved it as if he was throwing something, and he shouted "Icicle rush!" The image then dissapeaered as long steak-like objects of frozen ice flew from his form. Her head was radiating a light ice blue, and an oblong diamond shape glowed from her chest, underneath her shirt. It was roughly the size of the front of a fist. She lifted her hand to steady her head as the oblong diamond floated from inside her shirt, and hovered in mid air paralell to her nose. A distinct pattern began to form as the ice cream in her hand begun to morph, and join the pure glow to form a mini tag. The group gasped as Jade groaned louder then before, a pattern forming on the tag; a crest.

"It's the crest of compassion! Is that a GOOD thing, or a BAD thing?" said Tai, staring curiously at the barely consious girl. Seconds later, the tag dropped, and the glowing ceased. Jade flopped backwards, totaly unconsious.

"Well jeez. I think we should get her laid down or something...." Davis said, after a moment of stunned silence reigned.

"Yeah, good idea." Tai said, helping Davis lift the limp girl.

"I'll go get my car." Sora said, grabbing her purse and rushing out the door. The boys carried her out the door, and waitied Sora's return. Davis climbed into the back of the convertable sports car Sora owned when she got back, and held Jade carefully. Her head flopped on his chest, and he held it there gently.

"I think it's safe to say that she's one of us." he said once Sora got going.

"Yeah. Uh, where do we take her?" she asked, pulling from the curb carefully.

"Considering what happened, I think the hospital isn't the destination of choice. My parents are out with Jun this week; my place is empty right now. We'll take her there."

*** *** *** *** *** ***

Davis sat worriedly on the edge of the bed that Jade lay in. She'd been out cold for five hours now, and Tai and Sora had gone home three hours ago. He didn't know what to do accept for sit, watch, and wait. He felt so bad for making her have some ice cream; it seemed to cause this whole thing. Slowly, he rose from the girl's side, and walked into the kitchen. He pulled a cloth from the drawer, and wetted it with warm water. From there, he walked back in to the bedroom, and gently washed her face with the warm cloth, hoping it would revive her. He'd not thought of it before. Just as he pulled the cloth away, Jade's eyelids begun to quiver, and a low moan permiated her lips.

"Jade? You awake now?" Davis asked, tossing the cloth onto the floor.

"Mmnnnh....I...think...so...I hope so..." she responded weakly, her eyes flitting open. She raised a hand to her head, feeling her forehead to try to rub away the headache. "What happened? And, where am I?"

"Well I'm not sure. All I know is, you were licking away at that cone I made you get, and then you started groaning, and when I looked over your head was glowing blue, and a tag and crest appeared. You conked out, so we brought you here to my place since my family is away for the week."

"A what appeared?"

"That thing around your neck. It's called a crest. It's the symbol that represents your true nature. It has alot to do with what my entire gang does. But, I'll explain all that to you later; you need rest."

"No, Davis...please tell me...It might explain that vision I had." Davis siged, and sat dowm to tell her the entire digidestined tale. As he explained, he noticed there was a space for a second crest. After running through the entire tale, he looked at Jade, who was fast asleep, curled around his back, her arms holding on to his waist.

"Guess I'M not going anywhere anytime soon..." He said, leaning back carefully, and he himself fell asleep.
