Sora: That's right. Now the DISCLAIMER OF DOOM! Me no own, you no sue! He he! Warrior of Darkness has once more been kind enough to beta this piece of junk, so give him a hand, for he keeps you guys from getting headaches. Man, am I ever chatty today! (Advice, never ever take Spanish. Stupid teacher.) Oh yeah! The song is by Akira! I WROTE THE CONCERT BY MYSELF! YEAH!
Chapter Twenty-one: Changed
Kari blinked, digesting Davis' statement. What he had basically said was that she hadn't know him at all.
"Davis, what on earth do you mean, "The real Davis"?" That doesn't make sense! Talk straight!" Kari told him, attempting to become nonbewildered. No such luck.
"What I mean is that you saw the top layer of a personality and took it at that. You and the others all thought that I was a simple little boy with simple little emotions. Hmph!" And with that Davis turned and stalked out of the room, leaving behind one confused girl, one sleeping girl, and one very confused brother.
"Excuse him. He's had a rough week." Taijin told Kari before he continued, "Would you like some breakfast?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tai sighed, running his hands through his hair. The rest of the team was over at his house, attempting to figure out how to get Kari back. No such luck. Not even Ken could figure this one out. Presently he was on Izzy's laptop, talking to Genni. He had hoped that the old man had known something but he hadn't. Genni had revealed to them that the Sovereigns couldn't even get into the Dark Ocean.
"Huh! W-why can't they?" Tai asked the old man, bewildered that anything could stop the Sovereigns. Genni sighed and pulled up another window on Izzy's screen. It was a DigiPort but it was sealed. Ken blinked and looked for the source of the seal. He saw it in a saw circle in the left hand corner of the DigiPort. It was a symbol. The symbol of Miracles.
Whatever was sealing the Dark Ocean, it had something to do with Davis.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jun's eyes started to flutter open sleepily. She quickly straightened up and looked around. No one else was in the room, but she could hear sounds from the kitchen. She quickly stood up and stretched. She sighed and picked up a furry black object next to her feet. It was her Digimon, BlackGatomon. The little feline yawned and stretched in her hands.
BlackGatomon grinned up at her sleepily before she jumped up onto Jun's shoulder. Jun smiled and gave her a pat on her head before she headed downstairs to the kitchen.
She walked in to find one of her brothers helping their Aunt, who was making pancakes for breakfast. Her other brother was sitting at the kitchen table, bent over a sheet of paper a pencil in hand.
Kari was sitting across from him, straining her neck to see what Davis was working on. Finally Davis sat up and yawned, smirking when he saw his sister in the doorway. Kari looked to see what he was smirking at and saw Jun, but with a cat. Imagine her surprise when the cat spoke.
"Do you got any meat, Mrs. Mataski?" The cat asked Davis' Aunt, not noticing Kari's look of surprise. It was then that Kari realized that the feline was not organic but digital. She quickly put two and two together and got four. Jun was a DigiDestined.
"Jun! You've got a Digimon?" Kari asked her, shocked that the fan girl had a Digimon, after all, this was the last person she expected to have a Digimon.
Jun blinked at Kari's expression before nodding as she took her seat at the table.
"What are you doing, little bro?" Jun asked Davis, leaning over to see the piece of paper. On it was a number of odd and strange symbols and graphs, basically normal stuff for Davis. Davis smirked at her look before he started to explain the graphs. To say the least, Jun was quickly lost in the numbers. "You're a freak. Yep, a freak, Dai!" Jun told her brother as she made a face at the numbers, quickly shoving the sheet away. Davis laughed at his sister, completely ignoring Kari's bewildered look. Taijin finally pulled up his seat and sat down as well.
"Do you understand this load of bullshit, Taijin?" Jun asked him, tossing him the sheet of paper that Davis was trying to get back from her. Taijin looked over it and took the pencil, correcting a few of the problems. That answered his sister's question. Meanwhile, Takato was walking down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Before him sat four teens, two of them girls and two of them boys. He shook his head side to side and quickly pulled himself up a chair. Takato grinned and turned to Kari, getting ready to introduce himself.
"Hi. My name's Takato. You must be Kari." He told her with a slight smile, his kohl-lined eyes reflecting warmth that told Kari to trust this teenager. She nodded as he continued on, "I've heard about you from Dai."
"Ahem, now to get on the subject on hand." Davis said, attempting to strike up a particular conversation. "I think that we ought send her back to the Eastern Quadrant." Davis quickly held up a hand to keep Kari from asking the question. "Yes, we are not in the Eastern Quadrant any more. We are presently in the Southern Quadrant in a city called West Shinjuku, which is a piece of Tokyo. That should tell you why Izzy couldn't track me. And no, I am not going home." Davis told Kari, a frown staining his features.
"But, Davis-" Kari was cut off as Davis stood up suddenly and stalked out of the room. Jun let out a sigh as she turned to face the younger girl.
"He won't listen to you. He's too stubborn." Jun told her as she stood up to follow her brother.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leiko yawned and sat up. She was in her room, which was decorated with pictures of Davis and song lyrics. She yawned once more and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She stretched her arms above her head and quickly climbed out of bed, heading towards her closet. She stopped in front of the door and looked at herself in the full-length mirror.
Leiko grinned at herself in the mirror. Reddish-brown hair, light green eyes, a pale complexion, a willowy frame, a metal device gripping her arm... Leiko gasped, her eyes focusing on the device. She had a metal arm-warmer on her arm! It was then that Leiko heard a fluttering sound. Looking around, she soon found the source of the noise.
Above her head was a small creature. It had little bat wings, which were enabling it to fly. It resembled a human, except it was only five inches tall. Under a little black witches hat (black on the outside and red on the inside) it had long pink hair which fell into its brown eyes, who were framed in a pale face. It had on a little black top which went down to it's mid-thighs and split in the middle to reveal a bright red under-skirt. It's little feet where clad in bright red boots and in the little fairy's hands was a little golden staff with a golden hook at the top.
Leiko stared at the little creature as is stopped fluttering and sat down on the end of her nose. Leiko blinked a few times as the little thing sat, staring into her eyes.
"Yep! You're Raimy's partner! Raimy's name is Raimymon, but partner can call Raimy Raimy!" The little digimon finished her sentence with a little light laugh and a smile.
Leiko answered her digimon with a few more blinks and a lot more silence, meaning that for once in her life she was speechless.
"Raimy's partner not like Raimy?" Raimy asked Leiko, with big tears welling up in her little eyes. Leiko's eyes quickly became wide.
"N-no! It's not that! I'm glad to meet you, Raimy! It's just that I've never had a Digimon before!" Leiko spoke quickly as the little digimon fluttered from her nose to her shoulder, "But, I don't understand. Why was I chosen to have a digimon?" Leiko asked the little one.
Raimy shrugged before answering, "Maybe you were meant to be! Raimy feels a connection with you, Leiko!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jun sighed, pulling her hair up into a almost straight behind spike style. She was in her bathroom, getting ready for the concert that night. She was already dolled up in her most rocked out outfit and was putting on the finishing touches. She turned her head side to side and put gel in her hair where it was needed. Jun tugged downwards on her short black and red plaid skirt and smoothed the wrinkles out of her printed tee, one with a red skull printed on a black background. She grinned at her reflection and went into her room to pull on her boots.
Her boots, in essence, where not like other's boots as they did not add height to Jun but where clunky combat boots instead of fashion accessories. She turned and looked at herself in her full-length mirror. Perfect. She grinned and started down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen to find her aunt talking with Kari. If it had been any other person but Kari she would have been fine with it, but this was Kari, and Kari talked too much in Jun's option.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kari looked up when she heard someone else enter the room. Imagine her shock when she saw Jun. Jun no longer looked like the Jun she remembered, but like a Jun from a darker world.
"Jun? Why are you dressed up like that? Its not Halloween yet!" Kari asked her, her eyebrows brought together. Jun winced at her before she answered.
"Why, for the concert!" Jun smiled before she paused and looked at her, "You do know about the concert, don't you?" At this Kari blinked rapidly and shook her head, "Well, it's the Lounge Lizards, and Davis is part of the band, so I'm going. This is also Taijin's debut!" Kari blinked and blinked some more, after all, the news that Davis was in a band was news to her most definitely.
"So, where are they?" Kari asked Jun, but got her answer from a different source as the two pre-mentioned boys came trooping into the room. Davis in the suit without a jacket that he had been wearing all day whereas his darker half had changed his clothes. Now Taijin was wearing a light jacket over a vest with a white undershirt. Around his neck was a loose tie and he was wearing black pants that bagged out towards his feet to cover a pair of boots.
Davis looked around at everybody before he spoke, "Well, we're ready. Let's go."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jun stood in the crowd before the stage. She hoped that her brother wouldn't freak out, after all there were cameras from the local TV stations all around. Next to her stood Kari, who was looking about, shocked at the turn out for the Lounge Lizards. They were drawing more of a crowd than the Teenage Wolves had ever done. Suddenly Jun felt a pair of arms as someone tackled her back. Jun turned around to find Leiko looking up at her. It was then that Jun noticed the small figure on Leiko's shoulder. To say the least she was shocked that her protage fangirl had a digimon. She however did not get the chance to question said fangirl as the band came out onto the stage.
Jun noticed something odd about their positions, however. There was no Saito to be seen and Davis was walking up to the led mike. Taijin had Davis' guitar strug about him as well. This led Jun to the conclusion that something was wrong with Saito, and just where that pervert was, she didn't know. Davis stepped up to the mike, closed his eyes and started the song with the guitars following him close behind,
"I turned around,
and left for just a second,
now everything has changed."
The crowd started to sway in time with the beat as the song started to rise as the guitars started to duel upwards, Davis opened his eyes and stared out at the crowd seemingly hypnotized as his voice dropped a couple of notches,
"Its like I went through the open door,
and it slammed shut.
And I never wanted to look back.
Are you the one,
whose different.
You used to read me like an open book."
The guitars started to wind down slightly as the drums started to rise above them, beating out a exciting beat that had the crowd going wild. It was then that Jun felt a pair of strong arms around her. She turned quickly and looked up into the mischievous face of one Saito. Her attention was quickly drawn back to her brother, however, as he closed his eyes again and nearly shouted out,
"You were my light,
the light that guided me,
through everything that ever happened,
I was lost without you as my lighthouse."
His eyes opened once more as they stared out at the crowd, seemingly gazing deep into the souls of the concert goers. This little thing sent his fans into swoons as the music started to quiet slightly as Davis near whispered out the next part of the song, his voice resembling an angel's,
"But now, I've changed,
or is it you that has changed?
Hope has been a chore,
too long for me to care anymore.
Life has just been an illusion,
that seems to morph,
to something new,
at every passing second."
Davis' eyes closed again and his voice rose a little bit to keep up with the rest of the group,
"I turned around,
and left for just a second,
now everything has changed..."
It was after this part that his eyes snapped open sharply and the guitars rose in a sympathy of notes as the drums started to become more forward. His voice went louder as he sang the next part,
"You used to read me like an open book,
but now I'm wrote in brand new text,
can't read me now?
Light its everywhere,
light burning desire,
but it burnt out completely,
when the door slammed shut so easily.
Light its everywhere.
Except now,
faded."
Davis' voice started to soften as his eyes started to show emotions. That in itself sent about half of the fan girls off of the deep end. The guitars slowed down and the drums dropped to almost none as Davis whispered the last part of the song,
"Now everything has changed.
I turned around,
and left for just a second,
now everything has changed.
Changed..."
His eyes then focused on just one girl...
