AN: Remember this is an AU, a story that I am testing different styles of plot and characterization. I do not hate any of the characters and Yolie and Kari will go through a redemption arc. I am also still developing this plot so please only constructive criticisms.

Princess of Miracles

Chapter 2

Daisuke's P.O.V

I smiled as we finally finished repairing Primary village. It had taken us two days finish the job but not the small Village and hatchery was filled with in-training fresh Digimon as well as digi-eggs back in the hatchery. Due to the amount of work we had spit off into pairs, leaving Veemon and I to work alone which right now suited me just fine. Hearing chirping and giggling behind me I stood and smiled see all the little babies jumping up and down for attention as Veemon trotted over to them and started to play with them. Running around in a strange but cute game allowing me to sit down and watch them a gentle breeze blowing my hair around that carried a soft sweet scent that brought back a sense of strange nostalgia. It always confused me that I such familiarity when I was here in the digital world. Like I was meant to find this place. When I had brought this up with the group Yolie had simply laughed in my face calling it dumb and that anyone could have been chosen for this job and that I was probably picked at random compared to everyone else. Cody and Tk had tried to protest but they were ignored due to Kari opening the portal up and pulling everyone in. Since then I had not brought up these feelings with anyone, but Matt's words from a few days ago made me want to ask the older kids about it. Letting out a soft sigh as more wind blew through the small village, I closed my eyes I let my self relax for a rare moment of silence.

"Dia!" I hear Cody's scream pierce through the wind as Veemon and I freeze before rushing back to the centre of the village shocked to find a strange Digimon, Thundermon, attacking everyone. Cody watching over a hurt Armadillomon as Thundermon drew closer to them. Nodding to Veemon I gripped my d-tector we both gasped as large bug like Digimon intercepted the attack and destroyed Thundermon in the process. I stood there completely frozen as the Digimon turned into data my mind going blank. I could feel the others arrive as we watched the mysterious Digimon turn back to Wormon and land in Ken's arms. I heard Yolie and Kari shouting at him as Cody and Tk came over to me.

"Dai… did you get hurt?" Tk asked and I quickly shook my head trying to give them my best reassuring smile.

"Yeah…Cody what happened?" I asked drawing everyone's attention as the young boy as he helped his Digimon partner finally stand.

"We were working on the sewers today, and nearly finished when out of nowhere Thundermon came and attacked us causing Armadillomon to shift back from Digmon. I rushed to get us out of the sewers, and I tried to protect Armadillomon when Ken appeared." Cody explained as we all nodded soberly as I sighed and stepped forward placing a hand on the young boys shoulder. He looked up at me as I gave him a soft smile.

"As long as the two of you are okay," I said as the young boy gave me a small smile, "Lets head home for now we can talk to the older kids before we decide on what to do as we do not know Ken's intentions or what caused such a normally peaceful Digimon to attack us like that," I said and for once no one argued with me. One by one we made our way through the portal Veemon and I bringing up the rear. Looking back one last time a sense of warning filled me; almost a third senses telling me that the fight was far from over.

Tai's P.O.V.

I frowned listening to what had happened Yolie already interjecting that we could not trust Ken at all and that he was definitely up to something, interrupting Dai as she was explaining things to us. The atmosphere at my house was tense once everyone was done and my younger sister gave me a hopeful look before saying, "What would you do Tai… I am worried that Daisuke will not be impartial about this because it is Ken," Kari said causing me to look at her in shock. I heard Dai suck in a shocked breath as Yolie despite the tense atmosphere gave a soft giggle and nodded her head

"Matt… can you take Daisuke to the living room for a second," I ground out and the blonde nodded gently guiding my Kohai from the room as I turned to the younger generation in a furious rage, "How Dare you Hikari! How fucking dare you. Daisuke is one of your oldest friends as well as your leader. I did not give her that job at random. Despite you and Tk's previous experience in the digital world neither of you are ready to lead anyone! Dai on the other hand has practical experience as a leader and I trust her to make decisions to keep all of you safe. I do not know what happened but you and Yolie need to stop. Your behavior is toxic and I will not stand for it. She hold the digi-egg of friendship and she is far more sensitive to abuse and hatred then you think. Keep bullying her and I will step in further and neither of you will like the outcome," I all but snarled at my younger sister who stared at me if I had betrayed her.

"But she is useless! She has never really done anything and I bet you anyone could have gotten the golden digi-egg!" Yolie screeched as both Poromon and Gatomon shifted away from their partners the tension in the room building.

"Actually Yolie that is not true. Veemon is a royal digi-knight. He is the only one that is compatible with the Digi-egg of miracles. It would have done nothing for anyone else," Gatomon clarified in a steady voice as my bedroom door creaked open Dai and Matt standing there. The girls expression terrified me.

"You know Yolie… I have put up with a lot from you over the years," Dai said her voice soft as Matt placed a soft hand on her shoulder before slipping into the room and grabbing both of there belongings without saying a word. "I'm done…. I cannot take this abuse anymore… I get it I truly do I can be spastic at times, and I make mistakes, but guess what so have all of you! Yes, I messed up trying to get Vee to digivolve to soon and I recognize that but from what I have heard Tai made the same mistake the first time you all were in the digital world. Don't bother with some fake apologies it won't work as for once in my god damn life I am putting myself first! Goodbye!" by the end of her speech the room was deadly silently as Matt laid a hand on the small of her back nodded to me and guided her out of my house altogether leaving the group in stunned silence. No one knowing what to do as soon everyone silently left leaving Kari and I alone.

"T-Tai….?" She stammered as I gave a deep sigh.

"Kari this is not something I will help you with. You are still my sister and I will always love you, but I have never been so disappointed in you. Dai is the nicest person you could ever meet and you treated her like absolute trash." I said softly and left her alone intent on calling Matt to find out how my Kohai was doing.

Matt's P.O.V

I lead Dai out of the room and almost instantly she had thrown herself at me shaking. Carefully I wrapped my arms around her as her shoulders shook in silent despair. I was even surprised and enraged to see exactly how far those to had gotten. No longer were they hiding their distain for there leader, openly mocking and attacking her in front of the older generation. "Dai?" I whispered and gently put my hand on her head as she pulled back and looked up at me her eyes shinning and wet.

"W-why…. What did I ever do?" She asked her voice cracking as Veemon touched her hand causing her to pull away from me and kneel down pulling her partner into a hug as my heart all but shattered at her despair. Kneeling down beside her I gently rubbed her back as I could faintly hear Tai laying into them in the room.

"Do you want to go? I can grab your stuff and we can leave, I can even take you out for ice-cream if you want?" I asked as she gave a little hiccup and nodded as Yolie's voice rang out.

"But she is useless! She has never really done anything and I bet you anyone could have gotten the golden digi-egg!" we heard Yolie screech as Dai sucked in a soft breath her shoulders shaking.

"N-no more…" She stammered as my eyes widened, "I'm done."

"Dai….," I said causing her to meet my eyes, "Don't act to rashly but know I am behind you. That you have my support," I said softly as she gave me a grateful look and shakily stood my hand immediately moving to her back to support her.

"I….I need to leave the team. Maybe investigate what is happening my self but I can't stay… I can't take it any more I am so close to cracking and I'm scared," She whispered sadly as I nodded understanding where she was coming from.

"I'll grab your stuff if you want to say your final piece," I said as she nodded. Carefully I opened the door and slipped in grabbing her stuff as she spoke.

"You know Yolie… I have put up with a lot from you over the years," she said softly but her voice sure. Coming back over with her things, Veemon having followed my every move, I gently placed my hand on the small of her back and it felt right, ""I'm done…. I cannot take this abuse anymore… I get it I truly do I can be spastic at times, and I make mistakes, but guess what so have all of you! Yes, I messed up trying to get Vee to digivolve to soon and I recognize that but from what I have heard Tai made the same mistake the first time you all were in the digital world. Don't bother with some fake apologies it won't work as for once in my god damn life I am putting myself first! Goodbye!"

Her words finished I nodded to Tai and lead her from the Kamiya's house hold keeping her within my reach at all times. I guided her to a small café, "order something," I said and she gave me a soft smile ordering a small dish that I really did not pay attention to her. I ordered my own drink, a black cup of coffee, and studied her. I had never noticed it before as she was two years my junior but she was kind of cute, in that natural way. Unlike the girls who I went to school with she did not cake herself with beauty products or excessive clothes. She was probably easily described as a girl next door, just beautiful as she was. See her give me a confused look I realised that our food had arrived.

"You okay?" she asked and took a sip of her drink.

"Yeah don't worry Dai," I said as our waitress Stiffened and turned to look at us gasping. I raised a brow as she rushed off Dai not even noticing.

"Thanks for this…. " she said softly taking a small sip of her drink as we descended into a tense silence. Tk usually made fun of me for my awkwardness in comforting females but right now I felt that sting all to well. Dai was so unlike any girls that I knew. She was independent and strong yet more delicate then even Mimi. She guarded herself very closely scared to let anyone in, but when she did, she was devoted to you completely and utterly. It was why seeing her hurt and abused so much by her own teammates made me so incredible angry.

"Not a problem… I am sorry none of us noticed what was going on sooner," I told her honesty the blonde waitress from before catching me eye as she vigorously talked to someone on the phone before darting out of the place like the hounds of hell were on her heels. It made me nervous and incredibly suspicious on how focused she was on Dai even though I knew for a fact that she had never interacted with the young girl across from me before. Taking a sip on my coffee I smiled as Dai finally seemed to perk up.

Zoe's P.O.V

I was shocked. It could not be. Rushing out of the diner telling my boss I ha an emergency I rushed to meet the others my mind racing. Those eyes I knew anywhere it was Dai, but we had seen her disappear in the final battle, giving her life to help us win and save the digital world. Running as fast as I could I final made it to the park by Takuya's house finding I was the last one to arrive. I could already spot Takuya pacing back and forth Koji watching him nervously as the others sat around, Koichi by his twin. "Guys!" I called out finally reaching them.

"Zoe! Did you really see her! She is alive!" Takuya asked at a rapid pace rushing up to me the others following him. He placed his hands on my shoulder looking at me in desperation.

"Yes… Takuya she was unmistakable! I would never forget her eyes," I said and pulled out my phone showing him the picture I had been able to snap of her quickly. He quickly took it and sucked in a sharp breath his eyes misting over as Koji came forward pulling Takuya closer to himself.

"I-it's real…. Koji… She is alive!" He said the others crowding around the phone a sense of relief and joy sparking through our small group as Koichi pointed out something shocked.

"Is that a Digimon?" the warrior of darkness pointed out the small blue creature that I had assumed was simply a toy.

"What!" Takuya snapped looking incredibly alarmed.

"Stay calm… we still need to approach her Takuya," Koji said calming him slightly as we began to discuss our plan, how we were going to get close to the little princess that had held us together when we were saving the Digital world. If not for her our group would have never succeeded in saving things when we originally there.

Takuya's P.O.V

We had just separated from the rest of the group Koji suggesting that I needed to go for a walk to cool off. Hand in hand we slowly made our way around the park, comfortable silence surrounding us as my mind swirling in chaos. How was she alive, and how did no one remember her but us? Growing up we had been so close her and Jun constantly were over at our house, always playing and hanging out with us. I used to watch her when her parents decided to go out and Jun was to grownup to play with her baby sister. She had only been 7 at the time when she came to the digital world but she was so wise for her age.

"Takuya?" I heard Koji ask softly as I realised, I had stopped walking. Looking over to see the midnight blue eyes I loved so much filled with so much worry.

"I'm sorry… I just cannot believe it," I said softly as I felt his arms wrap around me pulling me into a strong chest.

"Hey… it is okay, she is alive and we will get her back," Koji said as I clasped my arms around him shaking slightly as I nodded wanted to believe him so badly, but something told me it was not going to be so simple. Giving a soft nod I tried to be strong and focus on the future.
