"Loving a Lion"
OK, I think someone asked for pairing like this, but I can't remember who it was. Anyway, please enjoy and review!
It was home room now on a Monday morning, the students of all grades either begrudgingly walking inside the building or excitedly locating their friends to talk to them.
One of the tired looking students was Daisuke Motomiya or Dai for short as she sat down at her desk as the day started.
TK Takaishi and Kari Kamiya shared the same home room class as her and were sitting at their own desks in front of her while the seat next to her remained empty.
"So how was your weekend?" the blonde asked the two girls.
"It was great. Yolei and I went out on a shopping spree and there were so many great specials. I have a whole new wardrobe now." The brunette giggled.
"What about you, Dai?" TK asked the mahogany haired girl.
"It was boring. I just stayed home for the weekend since everyone was so busy." Dai said.
After the Digidestinds had saved the world, the group slowly began to drift apart to do their own things, like Ken and Yolei started dating, Sora and Tai were dating while Matt was busy with his band and TK spent most of his time with Cody or Kari.
"All right, settle down now." The teacher said as he walked inside the room.
He was a middle aged man with black hair that had a few grays mixed in it, dark eyes and was dressed in a gray suit as he walked in holding some papers.
"Now to start things off, I would like to announce that we have a new student joining us today." He said.
The students in the room all started murmuring about this new arrival at this time of the year since there was only a few months left until summer break.
"Who do you think it is?" Kari whispered.
"Don't know." TK shrugged.
Dai looked over to the door as she sensed something from over there.
It was cool and mysterious, but also had a dark presence, but somehow wasn't evil.
There was a knock at the door making the teacher and all of the students look over eagerly.
"Come on in." the man called.
The door was slid open to reveal a tall teenager with long blonde hair that was tied back as it cascaded down his back while his bangs and fringes hung around his face.
His skin was simply flawless without a single imperfection as it seemed to glow like freshly fallen snow.
Now his eyes on the other hand was something that caught everyone's attention.
They were a beautiful blood red color as they roamed around the room and took in all of the 16-17 year olds in the room.
"Everyone, meet Yori (Trust) Shinobu (Endurance). He will be joining us from now on." The teacher said.
Yori walked over to stand in front of the teacher's desk as the man wrote the new student's name on the white board with a red marker while the blonde male looked around the room with a blank face.
Many of the girls were talking about his good looks openly while the boys talked about him possibly trying out for a sports team.
He noticed that three of the students were covered in an aura that revealed their power and identities.
One boy who had golden blonde hair, peachy toned skin and azure eyes was covered in an emerald green light while the girl next to him with short straight light brown hair and cherry colored eyes with a beautiful smile was covered in a pink light.
Finally, his red eyes settled on the girl behind them that was covered in a blue light, but seemed to be glowing with a golden light from within.
When her chocolate colored eyes met Yori's blood red eyes, they both gasped as some sort of jolt went through them.
Dai bit her lip as she was caught in the gaze of the new student, unable to escape as they seemed to both be trapped under the other person's lure.
"Yori, why don't you take a seat next to Daisuke? Daisuke, if you'd please." The teacher said.
The child of Miracles snapped out of her stupor and raised her hand up to allow the blonde haired male to know who she was.
He then walked over to the seat and sat down next to the mahogany haired girl, their hands touching accidentally as he took his seat and they both jumped as they felt that same pleasurable jolt go through them.
Kari looked over at them as she saw the exchange and gave a small smile as she saw her friend's cheeks heat up in a blush.
It was actually cute.
Yori noticed the child of Light staring so he met her eyes and she gasped as she felt like she was being consumed by the darkness just by his stare alone.
"Kari, what's wrong?" TK asked as he touched her, shocking her out whatever trance she was stuck under.
"N-Nothing." She said turning away.
The bell then rang, so the class all got up to go to their first period.
(Lunch…)
Dai was taking her bento box out of her locker with a small frown on her face since she knew that all of her friends were once again too busy to hang out with her and had their own groups to eat with.
She could always join her soccer team, but it wouldn't be the same.
Sighing, Dai turned to head off for a lonely lunch, but stopped as she nearly bumped into Yori.
"Sorry about that." She breathed.
"It's fine, I wasn't paying much attention myself." He said.
In an odd turn of events, the two had every single class as each other so far and were always sitting close to each other.
In history he was in front of her, in math he was beside her, in English he was behind her and in every one of those classes they couldn't turn their attention away from each other.
It was almost like some force was drawing them to each other.
"So…how's your first day?" Dai asked.
"Don't you have some friends waiting on you?" he asked.
The look she had in her eyes was enough to make him regret saying that.
"Actually, everyone's too busy. Anyway, I'll see you around." She said as she stepped away and began walking down the hall.
Yori watched her with a sense of dread as he then chased after her and caught her by the arm.
"Wait." He said.
The girl turned back to him, chocolate meeting blood once again as they seemed to be caught in that trap.
He was slowly pulling her closer to himself as her body seemed to be trembling in anticipation.
For what though, she didn't know.
Yori smiled for the first time that day and it made Dai's heart flutter as he reached up to brush her long mahogany bangs out of her face and she seemed to be leaning into the touch of his hand.
"How about we eat lunch together? We could get to know each other better that way." He suggested making her smile.
"Sounds like a plan to me." She said.
The duo then went off to the cafeteria, entering the room and walking off to a random table at the back to talk and eat, all the while Kari was sending her former leader worried looks.
A few weeks had gone by as Yori and Dai spent most of their time together, walking down the halls talking and laughing, most of the girls jealous as they saw that the soccer girl was the only one who could get the mysterious boy to smile and laugh while he gave everyone else blank looks or glared at the ones who annoyed him.
Dai hadn't spent any time with her Digidestind friends and seemed to have been ignoring them so that she could spend more time with Yori, who was always eager to be at her side or to help her with whatever she wants while she was the same.
"I don't trust him." Kari said as she stood next to her locker with TK as they watched the inseparable duo walk off.
"Why not? I mean, he's really been there for Dai while we've hardly had the time for her. Plus, she really seems to like him, so shouldn't we be supportive?" the blonde asked.
"We should, but there's something wrong with that boy. TK, when I looked into his eyes I felt like I was being covered in darkness." She said desperately.
TK narrowed his eyes in thought as he looked off to where Dai was speaking to Yori, the child of Miracles looking genuinely happy with the tall male as he leaned over her and seemed to be close to trying to kiss her.
Could he really be a bad person?
"Look, you know Dai has a weird ability to turn people away from the darkness so if this guy is bad then she'll just turn him away from it. She did it for Ken and Willis." He said.
The two looked over to Yori and Dai as they linked arms and started walking off to their next class talking about having a sleep over or something of the sort.
(Later…)
"This is your house?" Dai asked in amazement.
After school, Yori had taken the girl over to his house so that she could stay the night with him and his home was a sight to behold.
It was a large gray mansion with a black roof top, many colorful windows like you would see from a church while the rest of it was black and the door was a nice oak.
"Come on, let's get inside." Yori smiled as he carried Dai's bags into the mansion while she followed behind.
Upon entering, Dai saw that there was a staircase that led upstairs and that on the right was the dining room that led to the kitchen and on the left was the living room that led to a conservatory.
"So…where's your brother?" she asked as she closed the door behind her.
Yori had told her his parents were both gone and that he lived alone with only his younger brother as company.
"He's out with his friends at the moment. He won't be back for a few days. Let me show you where you'll be staying." He said leading the girl up the stairs.
The duo went up the steps, passing many doors that were rooms that had paintings, instruments, a library and room that was filled with boxes that had stuff packed away in them.
They finally stopped in front of a door at the end of the hall and Yori opened it to reveal a blue room with a queen sized bed inside that had gold bed sheets and one window that was on the wall opposite of the bed and there was a closet that was big enough to walk inside with mirrors as doors.
"This is your room." He said.
He watched the mahogany haired girl walk inside, smiling as she was inside and went to the window to check out the view of the sun beginning to set and turn the sky a mixture of pink, purple, orange and blue.
"Wow, it's beautiful." She breathed.
"I can imagine something even lovelier than that." Yori said as he walked up behind the girl and placed his hands on her hips.
Her cheeks burned in a blush at his words as she felt that familiar pleasurable jolt go through her from his touch.
Biting her bottom lip, she turned around in his grasp as she met his blood red eyes that she loved so much, his hands reaching up to touch her face and rub small circles on her warm cheeks and she leaned into his touch as she lifted her hands up to let them rest on his larger and cooler hands.
Yori ducked his head down and placed his lips on Dai's making her mewl in pleasure and want from it as he pulled the girl closer to his body.
As they were lip locked, a dark violet mist covered Yori as the sun set and he began to grow a few feet taller, his chest and muscles getting broader as he was slowly being covered in black and gold armour that looked like that of a lion.
Dai was far too busy with the kiss to notice that he was changing, her senses being dulled by the pleasure as she felt the bond they had growing.
When they pulled away and she opened her eyes, panting for breath, she found that Yori was now wearing some strange armour and his mouth piece was pulled up.
"What…when did you change?" she asked.
He kept quiet as he picked her up bridal style and set her down on the bed, looking into her eyes with a small hint of guilt.
"Dai, I haven't been completely truthful with you." He said.
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"My real name is Lowemon and my younger brother is Lobomon." He said.
"Lowemon. You're a digimon? How is that even possible? I mean, how did you get to the human world?" Dai asked as she crossed her legs.
"I came to this world to search for…I wasn't sure at first. Something was calling me here and so I let it lead me." Yori/Lowemon said.
The digimon seemed to be smiling from under his mouth piece as he sat down on the bed beside her and pulled the child of Miracles back into his arms and she cuddled up to him.
"So what was it?" Dai asked.
"It was you. You were the one I was searching for." Lowemon said.
"Me? But why though? Why was I the one you were searching for?" she asked.
"Did you know that digimon have something known as soul mates? One of my brother's friends found his soul mate who was a fellow digimon. It isn't often that a digimon and human are found out to be soul mates, but it isn't unheard of or impossible." Lowemon said as he leaned down to rest his forehead on Dai's as her cheeks heated up even more.
He chuckled at his little soon to be mate as she stared up at him in awe from what he had told her.
"So what does this mean?" Dai asked.
"It means we're meant to be together. It was obvious when we first saw each other. You felt it too, didn't you?" he asked.
"Yeah, I did." She nodded.
"Well, sticking to human vocabulary so that I can make this a bit easier for you, will you be my girlfriend?" the lion asked.
Dai hummed in thought as she looked deep into his eyes and traced the chest plate that had a lion's face on it, gently touching the fangs.
She smiled up at him as she leaned up to kiss hi cheek that was mostly covered by his mouth piece.
"I'd love to be your girlfriend, Lowemon." She said.
(Next week…)
When school started back up, Kari was searching for Dai all over the place, but couldn't find her or Yori anywhere and that made the child of Light worry.
"I'm telling you, that Yori boy must have done something to her." She said to TK, Cody, Yolei, Tai, Matt, Ken and Sora.
After school she had called a meeting with them, the group watching her as she paced her room floor in worry.
"Are you sure Dai just didn't skip class? She has done that before." Yolei said.
"She hasn't done that since she was 10 and during that time, Dai only did it so that she could go to the Digital World with us." Cody pointed out.
"Maybe she was sick." Ken suggested, although he had to admit that he was a bit worried over the girl.
Just then the D-terminals started beeping, so Cody answered it to see a message.
"Hey, it's from Izzy. He says he picked up a trace from Dai's D-3 in the Digital World." He said.
"In the Digital World?" Sora asked.
"What could she be doing there?" Matt asked.
"We need to go get her now. Come on guys." Tai said.
Kari quickly turned on her computer as Izzy sent them the coordinates to where he had first picked up the signal and they soon arrived in an area that was filled with a long garden of flowers, a soft breeze that blew by, rocky mountains in the far back that cast shadows over half the land and the sun was shining down on them all.
"OK, I don't see her anywhere." Yolei said.
"Her signal's coming from the on top the mountain." TK said when he checked his D-3.
Suddenly, their digimon all ran or flew over to them looking very pleased about something.
"Tai, are you all here for the celebration?" Agumon asked.
"Huh? What celebration?" the child of Courage asked.
"It's the return of the Legendary Warriors!" Biyomon said cheerfully.
"Return of the what?" Matt asked.
"The Legendary Warriors were once a group of 10 digimon who rose up to save our world from evil at the beginning of time." Gabumon explained.
"They have been sleeping for many years until the time of absolute peace for them to return and this is it." Hawkmon said.
"Not only that, but one of the Warriors has chosen a bride." Wormmon said.
"A bride? Everyone is celebrating a wedding?" Kari asked.
"Oh, I just love weddings!" Yolei gushed.
"You'll never believe who he chose. Come on, we'll show you." Gatomon said.
The Digidestinds followed their digimon as they led them off to the mountains where there was a large group of digimon cheering as 10 mighty and powerful looking digimon stood.
"Whoa, look at them." TK gasped.
"That one with the big nose is Grumblemon: the Warrior of Earth." Patamon said pointing to the digimon that looked like a gnome.
"That one is Arbormon: Warrior of Wood." He said to a robot looking digimon that was beige.
"That big guy there is Mercurymon: the Warrior of Steel." Armadillomon said about the digimon that was green with mirrors on his arms, face, back and stomach.
"Over there is Ranamon: the Warrior of Water and she's the mate of Mercurymon." He said about the water nymph.
"That would be Kazemon: the Warrior of Wind and her mate Agunimon: Warrior of Flame and leader of their group." Hawkmon said about the purple fairy and the red clad digimon.
"That one is Beetlemon: the Warrior of Thunder and Kumamon: the Warrior of Ice." Wormmon said as he pointed out the blue and yellow beetle and the short white polar bear wearing a vest, helmet and boots that were green and orange.
"There is the Lobomon: the Warrior of Light." Gatomon said about the wolf looking digimon.
"He's the younger brother of the Warrior who is getting married." The cat said.
The Digidestinds looked around and spotted V-Mon standing up there with the Warriors, all looking happy and proud as the dragon whipped at his eyes.
"Why is V-Mon up there?" TK asked.
"You'll see." Gabumon said.
Curiously, they all watched as Agunimon stepped up with a smile on his face.
"As you all know, the reason for our return is that one of us has found their soul mate, someone who they shall be with until the edge of time. This someone though, is a human." He said.
The crowd all murmured in shock and amazement while the Digidestinds all exchanged brief looks.
Just then, a human couple walked forward, the male dressed in a black dress shirt, black pants and boots while the female was dressed in a gold colored dress that was spaghetti strapped and reached the floor as a nice light blue ribbon was tied around her waist and flowed down to the ground.
"It's Dai and Yori!" Kari gasped.
The human male then turned into a digimon before them all, Dai smiling up at him as she still had her small arm looped with his while he sent a look of pure adoration down at her.
"Every one, this is Daisuke Motomiya, the leader of the second generation of Digidestinds, successor of Courage and Friendship and also the child of Miracles or the Keeper of the Golden Radiance. She is the mate of Lowemon." Agunimon said.
The crowd all cheered while the humans were all stunned by this, unsure of what to do or say.
Back with Dai, she felt V-Mon tugging on her and so she turned her attention to him.
"What's up, pal?" she asked.
"The others made it." he said with a grin as he pointed off to where he saw the group.
Dai looked over and smiled as she saw Tai, Kari, TK, Yolei, Sora, Ken, Cody and their partners all there.
"This will end well." Beetlemon said as Kumamon giggled.
"What shall we do?" Mercurymon asked.
"Might as well get this over with. Come on, V-Mon." Dai said to her partner.
The two then walked over to the Digidestinds and their digimon.
"Congragulations." Gatomon said.
"Yes what a true honor it is to be the soul mate of one of the Legendary Warriors." Tentomon said as he buzzed over with Palmon, Gomamon, Mimi, Izzy and Joe behind him as they arrived after being filled in on what happened.
"Oh, you look so beautiful." The child of Sincerity said.
"Thanks." Dai said.
"The wedding will be taken in a month. We're lucky to be doing things the human way." V-Mon said.
"A wedding between a human and digimon? Never thought I'd see the day." Joe said with a small grin.
Ken got over his shock and smiled at his best friend, true happiness for her shining in his eyes.
"I hope we're all invited." He said.
"Of course ya are. What kind-a wedding would it be if the bride didn't let her friends come?" Ranamon asked in her southern twang as she walked over.
"So you're really getting married? That's wonderful. I'm sure you'll make a beautiful bride." Sora said to Dai.
"Oh, I just love parties." Palmon gushed.
"Prodigious. I can't wait to see this." Izzy said.
"So this train's taking off without our consent?" Tai asked.
"Why would what you say matter?" Lobomon asked as he stepped up.
"You can't argue with what was meant to happen." He said with a warning look.
Tai groaned in annoyance and despair as Matt rubbed his back.
Their successor was all grown up and getting married to the mon she loved.
"So who is the lucky guy?" TK asked.
The black clad Warrior came over and placed his hands down on his mate's shoulders as Dai reached up to place her hands on top of his.
"This Lowemon: the Warrior of Darkness. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but he isn't evil. Darkness isn't really evil unless it's used that way and now that Lowemon's back. No one can use its power for evil ever again." Gomamon said.
Everyone was silent at this mainly Ken, Kari and TK since they had even worst run-ins with the power of darkness more than the others.
Cody then stepped up.
"Well, it makes sense that Dai would be meant to be with the Warrior of Darkness since she was never weakened by the power before." He said with a grin.
The others laughed at this as the trio who were weakened and feared the darkness the most shook their negativity away once they saw the love that was shared between Lowemon and Dai.
"I hope you'll be happy." Ken said as he picked up Wormmon.
"Hopefully she'll be really happy on the honeymoon." Agunimon said with a smirk as Grumblemon and Arbormon snickered at what he meant.
Dai was giving them a confused look while Kazemon, Lobomon and Ranamon whacked the three over their heads.
"You guys had that coming." Kumamon said as he saw Tai was shaking in anger.
"Why? What did they mean?" Dai asked making everyone sweat drop while Lowemon chuckled at her innocence.
"You'll find out later." He said as he ran his fingers through her hair lovingly.
The end.
