Road To Recovery
Hello, readers, this is my 4th Digimon fanfic…and the 1st to make after three years of not making one. Although I do watch Digimons, I haven't made one though I included the characters from Digimon Adventure 02 in one of my fics Detective School Q (aka Tantei Gakuen Q), and after a visit on wikipedia, as well as watching a movie special I started to develop an interest again and will give it another try.
This fic will take place after the CD drama "Natsu e no Tobira", which translates to The Door of Summer, though I'll be using some references to the other CD drama of this series. Also this fic uses some plot elements from the movie "Hurricane Touchdown", as I recently watched it on Cartoon Network in the Philippines, which inspires me to write this.
As you guessed it, the pairing here is Daisuke Motomiya and Mimi Tachikawa. I've been toying with that idea for a few weeks, and though I did find the pairings here on , they are mostly few and shot in terms of chapters, so I decided to try it out here and see how the reception is. Though I did write a Mimi x Wallace fic, I'll be giving this one a try.

Three years have passed since Belial Vamdemon was defeated, and life goes back to normal for the Chosen Children, and to their relief their partner Digimons get to stay with them without limits or restraints. Though there were a few Digimon attacks, it was no problem as some of the first and/or second generation Chosen Children responded in keeping Odaiba, and at times other parts of Japan, safe, it doesn't mean that everyone is free from the arriving trials in their lives.
Three years ago, Hikari Yagami and Takeru Takaishi visited Mimi Tachikawa and her friend Wallace in the US and have the two younger pre-teens taken their pictures when Mimi mysteriously vanished, in which the other Chosen Children vanished as well. This led the second generation chosen Children led to decipher the mystery which led them to a battle with Wendimon and after a hard-fought battle which saw Wendimon changes to Cherubimon, things went back to normal.
As a souvenir Daisuke was given a picture of Hikari and Takeru together, which slowly caused him to develop a certain amount of morale draining, his resolve to win her affections slowly began to drop, and after the events of Natsu e no Tobira, seeing how his depression caused Na-chan to sacrifice herself, he got a reprieve from V-Mon's advice. Still his emotional woes continued in the years to come.
Three years later, Daisuke is now 14 and is attending junior high along with the rest of the 2nd generation Chosen Children (except for Iori Hida), and Though he tried to get along with Hikari, she still spite him by flirting with Takeru, and Miyako teases him for being "shot down" again, but Ken Ichijouji senses that it might affect Daisuke's studies after being told by V-mon about what happened in Natsu e no Tobira.
"Miyako…that's enough. What happened in the US might happen here."
"Come on, Ken…he's not that stupid…if he keeps on persisting, he might get results."
"Although his keeping getting shot down might affect his studies and all. He still has mental wounds over that incident. It's best that we tell Daisuke that he has to give up on Hikari."
Wormmon interrupted, and the two teens became a bit worried that a scenario might happen should Hikari and Takeru became a couple with Daisuke not knowing it.
A month later it happened, as Takeru and Hikari became a couple, and both were happy about it that they forgot to consider Daisuke's feelings, though she was confident that he'll get over it. During a soccer elimination tournament, Daisuke's team was competing to advance to the road to the Inter-High tournament, and his and the rival teams were tied at a deadlock, with only 20 seconds left. The lead Chosen Child was pressured into getting the win for his team, but as 10 seconds was ticking down Daisuke was about to make a miracle shot when he saw Takeru kissing Hikari's cheeks while holding hands, and that distracted him with shock, allowing the rival player to steal the ball, and since Motomiya was shocked he was unable to compose himself and go after the ball to make an overtime, as the rival team scored the final goal and advanced to the next round, while Daisuke's coach and his teammates berated him for costing them the match. Seeing this, and seeing Takeru and Hikaru together holding hands, it was all too much for him, yet he was able to keep his feelings to himself and slowly walked away.
Hawkmon notices this and glanced at the couple, and feared that this was one of the worst case scenarios that is now happening.
"V-Mon…it looks like what ken feared has happened…you'd better go follow him while I go tell the others. There's no telling what he's going to do next. He might…you know…kill himself or something."
"Right…I thought he would get over this yet this might cause him to repeat what happened in the US…if this happens here…who knows what would happen…oh, Daisuke…you know better than this…you shouldn't sulk on unrequited love…"

As Daisuke was walking aimlessly at the streets, he happened to bump into a few street toughies, and they made a mistake of making fun at the already-emotionally distressed Daisuke, as this fueled his anger and leaves him wide open to temptations.
"Hey…mop-head…you're love-lorn?"
"Why don't you join us and go to a strip bar?"
"Yeah…we'll treat you well…"
"LEAVE…ME…ALONE."
"Aw…got shot down? Go to a gay bar…at least guys can romance you…and you won't get shot down…at least it'll make you a man…or a WO-man…ha-ha-ha…!"
"Yeah…I wanna be gay…kissie-kissie-poo…I wanna kiss your birdie…ha-ha-ha…!"
"Aww…feel like crying? Boo-hoo…like a prat like you are…UUURRRGGGHH!!!!!"
Daisuke was now pissed off and grabbed one of the toughies by his neck, choking him while raking his eyes, tearing them from its socket and blood spilled on the ground, and a few passerby saw this which frightened them.
"I WARN YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE…BUT YOU DIDN'T…NOW YOU PAY THE PRICE."
The goggles-wearing Chosen Child then slams his tormentor's head on the ground, busting him open and the other two began to attack him but Daisuke did a few judo tricks and tripped the second toughie, and when he caught the third toughie, he broke his arm, earning a scream from the toughie as he now regretted bullying him.
"EEYYYAAAHHH!!!! I GIVE UP!!! STOP!!!!"
V-Mon arrived and saw this, and tried to restrain his human partner but to his surprise he was punched away, and saw the angry look on Daisuke's face, looking like he was possessed.
"Daisuke…please stop this…you're not like this! You've done enough!"
"OUT OF MY WAY…AND STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS!"
"I won't!"
"YOU'LL REGRET IT!"
Unknown to V-Mon, the evil D-Mon (Daemon in the US version) slowly took possession of Daisuke a few months after the events of Natsu e no Tobira, in which he managed to escape from the World Of Darkness (apparently after Na-chan went on a rampage), and followed Daisuke after sensing his angst-filled heart, and slowly and secretly fueled those desire to give him more control over Daisuke's mind and body.
V-Mon stared wide-eyed as he started to sense D-Mon's aura, and stood still to see if he could find an opening to fight him without risking Daisuke's safety. By then Mimi Tachikawa came after leaving the Odaiba Airport to visit a relative when her crest of purity and Palmon sensed D-Mon's presence, and when they came to the area, V-Mon told them what is happening, and she became very concerned over Daisuke, and feared that this may have led to this situation.
"Palmon…go find the others…V-Mon and I will try to reach Daisuke…hurry!"
As the plant-Digimon rushes off to find the other Chosen Children, Mimi slowly went closer to Daisuke, who is glowing with black light and his eyes lit up in red, and she knew she has to act fast to save him, and she can tell he was emotionally being manipulated.
"Daisuke! It's me! Mimi! Snap out of it! D-Mon's just deceiving you! Your friends are here for you!"
But all fell in deaf ears as D-Mon telepathically "poisons" Daisuke into thinking that the rest kept the fact that Takeru and Hikari are dating a secret from him, and this fueled his angst and anger, and as the trio toughies got up, the now-possessed Daisuke jabbed his palm on one of the toughie's chest, pulling his heart out and yanks it out, slowly killing him.
The second toughie, who is now blind after his eyes were ripped out, pleaded for mercy but then was grabbed by his spinal cord and is being forcefully yanked out, killing him next.
The final toughie stood still, shocked by what he saw and tried to plead for mercy but was ignored.
"Please…don't kill me…please…don't kill me as I learned my lessons…"
"DEATH TO THE HUMANS…DEATH TO THE CHOSEN CHILDREN…DEATH TO THOSE WITH HEARTS…LOVE IS IRRELEVANT…I EXIST ONLY IN DARKNESS…DAISUKE MOTOMIYA IS MINE!"
V-Mon realizes that his partner is now in D-Mon's mental thrall and tries to go after him and fight, but was punched back, injuring his chest while he grabbed a passing child and snapped her neck, killing her, and Mimi became very concerned that Daisuke is now at risk of losing himself and thinks of a way to stall him until the others arrive.
"Palmon…please hurry…Daisuke is running out of time…"
To Be Continued…
I hope you like my opening chapter, and hope you like the story I wrote…now this is just a first step in incorporating the romance between Daisuke and Mimi, though it started out bloody at first…
Preview:
