Sora: Sorry to have kept you all waiting so long. It's been one rough week. CR: -sniff- Don't ask.

Sora: -sniff- On with the story. I do not own Digimon. Oh, and by the way, Warrior of Darkness beta'd this.

Warrior: Actually, I usually just run it through spell checker and go through grammar. Your sister is a better beta'er than I am, lol.

Chapter Twenty: Double Dai

Saito blinked, there in front of him was two of the best guitar player he had ever met. "Davis? I didn't know that you had a twin brother. Hey! Does he play an instrument?" Saito asked Davis quickly, remembering how much more their shows had sold out after they had gotten Davis.

Davis blinked at the hyper singer and turned to Taijin. "You wanna learn how to play, bro?" Taijin blinked at his brother and shrugged his answer.

"What's there to play?" Taijin asked him, having heard his brother tune his precious guitar that morning. Davis turned to Saito for that answer.

"Well, there's always the keyboard. You think that you could handle it? And besides, what is your name? I forgot to ask." Saito grinned goofily.

Taijin blinked at the teenager and answered carefully, "My name's Taijin, pleased to meet you." With that Taijin shook Saito's hand and continued on, "I think I could play keyboard, if I had someone to teach me." Saito grinned at the Gogglehead with a idea in that perverted skull of his.

"Davis can teach you! Oh, and where's your sister at? I want to talk to her." Saito asked this of the innocent one, who did not know what Saito did every time that he saw Jun. Taijin thought for a second and then answered him.

"I think that she's out shopping with Aunt Mie." Taijin told him, Saito nodded at this and grinned.

"Well, I had better get going, see you guys later!" And with that Saito left the bakery, leaving three Goggleheads in a kitchen, a soon emptied kitchen that is.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kari sighed, leaning her head forward. She had been moved to a prison cell down in the bowels of the dark castle. And she wasn't even going to think about what was in the food that they were giving her. It looked like her school's mystery meat. The only person that she knew that would eat something like this was her brother, Tai. Speaking of Tai...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Tai was pacing. And even top of that he was doing something that he never did. Brushing his hair, oh the horror! Tai once more yanked his brush through his hair, wincing as it hit one of the many tangles in it. Tai sighed and plopped down on his couch. In his typical not-watching-where-he's-sitting style, he sat down on Matt's feet. Matt sat up from his nap and glowered at his best friend. Kicking his legs, he sent Tai off the couch and onto his bum.

"Hey! That's my couch!" Tai snapped at him. Matt rolled his eyes before he snapped back.

"Well, watch what you're sitting on!" Matt told him, sitting up, "Dude, you need to calm down! Kari will be fine. Don't worry, she's a big girl." Tai sighed and leaned back against the couch.

"I know, but I'm worried. I can't help thinking about what she's going through." Tai groaned and rubbed his face. He sighed once more when the doorbell rang.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Izzy pulled on one of his short locks and chewed on his bottom lip. In front of him was a problem that not even he could solve. The problem was how to get Kari back from the dark ocean. The solution was... well, to tell the truth, there was no solution. Izzy, for once, had no freaking idea how they were going to pull this one off.

Turning to Tai, he shrugged before answering, "Tai, I got no idea. Why don't you go ask Ken for some advice. He's sure to be able to help you." Tai sighed before he headed off to find the boy genius. He found him in the living room, playing solitaire in the corner.

"Ken, Izzy's got no clue, so it's up to you." Tai told the lonely kid, who sweatdropped. Ken did not like being depended upon. Usually that was Davis' job, but seeing as he wasn't there Ken would have to do it.

-----------------------------------

Davis flopped down on his bed. It had been a long and boring day, but with Taijin here his fan girls were split into two groups so they were easier to avoid. Davis sighed closing his eyes, after all he couldn't get into the bathroom anytime soon.

Davis easily slipped into sleep, though it felt slightly like he was being pulled into it. He opened his chocolate brown eyes in a world were there was no such color. The Dark Ocean. Davis gulped, pulling the shirt's collar he was wearing higher. This place always served to give him the creeps.

Davis walked forward, across the blowing black sands. The dark ocean surged up on the sands and washed away the footprints he had just left. This was the place his brother's life had begun in and this place was giving him some major creepy weepys. Davis blinked rapidly as the cliff next to him started to crumble, revealing a dark tunnel. Davis wasn't too keen on entering said dark tunnel but it looked like that he had no other choice in the matter. Stepping toward the cliff wall, he gulped before stepping in. The next thing he knew, he was standing before a dark castle that radiated darkness.

Davis blinked, rubbing the sand out of his eyes so that he could see the structure before him. It was a citadel to be exact, it's walls fortified so much that Davis was surprised to see any stone left at all. It's towers and extra structures were going all over the place and seemed to have been built at a moment's whim with no planning involved. Davis blinked once more as the doors to the great structure started to creak open, their massive weight seemingly not there. Davis stepped forward and entered, jumping when those massive doors slammed shut behind him.

"Well, that's just peachy..." Davis muttered, clamping his hand over his mouth at the loud sound in the large hall. Davis scanned the hall for anyone before he pressed on into the depths of the castle.

He ducked behind a pillar as he heard a scuffling sound. It was one of Dragomon's lackeys and boy was he in a hurry. The thing kept on muttering about a picky human girl. Davis raised a eyebrow and followed the little sludge. It started down a flight of stairs and Davis followed, always out of sight. As he descended the stairs, the air got warmer and more damp. When he got down the stairs and out onto the floor, Davis realized where he was. This floor was the dungeons, which was obvious from the cells and cells as far as he could see.

To think that a human was down here made him shudder as he followed the sludge like creature down the passage of cells. It lead to a cell at the very end of the cell block, the one farthest away from the light. In it a figure that Davis could not make out until the sludge moved the light closer. When he could see the face of the person, he gasped.

It was person that he knew quite well. It was his friend, Kari, and she didn't look too good. She was pale and gaunt from the dark ocean's dark influence. It was eating away at her and it was eating away at his temper as well, and an short-tempered Dai was a bad Dai. That sludge got it's butt owned. Davis smirked as he smushed the goopie digimon and picked the lock on the door with his Gestalt.

Pulling open the door, he entered the small cell and looked down at his friend. She was pale and weak, her eyes firmly shut. Davis sighed, wondering if the eastern quadrant kids could do anything with out him. He reached down and gently scooped her up in his arms. Kicking the door open wider, he carried her out and up the stairs.

Reaching the top of said stairs, Davis started to make a bee-line for the entrance to the castle, knowing that if Dragomon found out that someone was stealing his treasure, there would be major trouble. Davis sighed, finally reaching the door to the evilly huge castle. Who in the worlds would get this big of a castle? Wasn't it harder to defend?

Davis kicked at the massive doors with one of his feet as he balanced on the other one. The door was so well-oiled and balanced that it swung open with the softest touch. Davis blinked and muttered something along the lines of "Why the hell would you have a door that opens so easily!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Kari groaned, sitting up. She was on a bed, a wet cloth falling off of her forehead and on to the blanket that was covering her. Kari blinked at the unusual surroundings and attempted to get up. No luck there. Kari sighed, laying back down onto her pillows. It was then that she noticed someone sitting a chair next to her bed. It was a teenage girl with black spiky hair. She was asleep, her head hanging down so that her chin touched her chest. She had on a short skirt, black boots, and a vest top, over which there was a thick fur-like coat, with the cuffs doubled up. Kari looked closer at the face and jolted back-wards in shock. It was Jun.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Davis groaned, examining his hair. It had gone and changed colors on him again, once more without his permission. This time it had lost all of it's color, making it bleach white. He snorted, rolling his eyes heavenward. When he had awoken, his hair had the color of snow and there had been a girl on his bedroom floor. One can just imagine what Aunt Mie had said to that, and Jun for that matter.

Davis smoothed out the wrinkles in his outfit. He was wearing a type of under-vest that one would wear under a suit. His pants were black dress pants, and his shoes were black leather. Under the vest there was a long sleeve white button-up shirt with a collar that was in disarray. Draped around his neck was a scarlet ribbon. All that was missing was a jacket to complete the suit, but Davis disliked the jacket that had came with the suit. Besides, why in the worlds would he want to cover up the vest?

Davis sighed and walked out of the bathroom. He started down the hall towards his sister's room where they had put Kari. Walking in, Davis was shocked to see Kari awake. She looked up as he entered and blinked several times.

"You look like... Taijin?" Kari asked him, her eyes uncertain. Davis blinked sharply, his breath hitching in his throat.

'Taijin knew that she was in the Dark Ocean, yet he didn't tell me!' Davis thought angrily, his mind coming up with things to yell at his brother. Yet all of his anger dissipated when Kari spoke.

"You are Taijin, right?" Now all of that anger was replaced by fury. Turning sharply on his heel, he stalked out of the room and went searching for his brother. He found him attempting to escape through a window. Davis growled reaching out and jerking his oh-so-dear brother back in. Taijin was going to get yelled at.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me she was in there!" Davis almost screamed at his brother, who he had hosted up into the air by the collar. Taijin gave a few futile attempts to wiggle free before he answered the enraged gogglehead.

"I didn't remember! You're the first thing that I remember, bro!" Taijin told him, trying to calm his big brother down. Davis blinked and looked at Taijin.

"Your not lying to me. I can tell it." Davis let his brother drop to the ground and helped him up.

"How do you know that?" Taijin asked him, brushing some dirt off of his turtleneck. Davis smirked at him and answered.

"You can't lie to yourself." Davis told Taijin before he started back off to his sister's room once again. Kari was sitting up in the bed, blinking when the two entered the room. She looked back and forth between the two almost identical people. She quite clearly recognized the one on the left as Taijin, so that meant the one on the right was...

"Davis?" She breathed out in a whisper, her eyes wide, "You can't be Davis, you don't look like him! The Davis I know would never dress like that!" Davis smiled a gentle smile at her before he answered.

"That all depends on the Davis you know, now doesn't it? What if the Davis you knew wasn't the real Davis, hmm?" Davis asked her, answering her question with a question.
