"Gold and Crimson"
Please enjoy and review!
Ken used his spare key to unlock the door and then walked into the Motomiya apartment carrying two bags in his hands as he spotted Daisuke sitting down at the kitchen table with her chin in her palm as she just stared into space.
"Hey, I got your message." He said making her look at him.
The girl gave a strained smile as he walked over to her and sat down, trying to read her face to see how she was feeling, but she had gotten good at hiding her emotions.
"I wasn't sure what you were feeling, so I brought you two things." He said as he reached into the bag on the left.
He pulled out a container of frozen goods.
"I have chocolate ice cream if you were sad." Ken said as she took it soundlessly.
"And if you were angry…" he said.
In the last bag he pulled out a colorful dartboard with the picture of a blonde haired boy with his arm wrapped around a brown haired girl, both smiling cutely at the camera and some darts.
"A dartboard with TK's picture on it." he said.
Daisuke cracked a smile at that making him return it.
"Thanks, but I'm not sad or mad…but I am hungry. I'm keeping the ice cream." She said as she stood up to go get a spoon with Ken following.
The reason why Daisuke was upset was that TK had confessed that he had feelings for both her and Kari, but he was unable to choose between the two girls which frustrated them both since they liked him as well and told him to choose.
A few days after that, while walking to her locker, Daisuke overheard TK say to Cody that he was going to choose Kari to be his girlfriend.
Feeling hurt, she walked away before the two boys spotted her and took out her D-Terminal as she sent an e-mail to Ken about what she had overheard and asked him to meet her at home.
Being the considerate friend that he was, Ken felt that he should rush over as soon as possible while bearing gifts to help her cope with the heartbreak in whatever way she felt necessary.
"How are you feeling then?" Ken asked as he watched her get a spoon from the drawer.
"I was hurt at first, then I realized that…I shouldn't care. If he doesn't want me, then I won't let this effect me." she said.
Ken smiled at her feeling proud that she was moving on with her life instead of just letting this one guy make her feel bad for breaking her heart.
Soon enough TK and Kari were together and made the announcement, Sora looking over to Daisuke in worry to see if the girl would be hurt, but was pleasantly surprised to see the girl was smiling happily for the new couple and congratulated them which surprised TK and Kari both.
When Sora asked to talk to Daisuke about how she felt, the mahogany haired girl confessed that she was hurt when she overheard TK tell Cody about his choice, but she realized that she shouldn't hurt herself by dreaming of what could have been or ruin her friendships by being bitter.
Sora was truly proud of the girl for maturing while Mimi made it her mission to help Daisuke find a new, better guy that would love her and Daisuke decided to just let the child of Sincerity do as she wished since the child of Miracles didn't care at the moment to find a guy.
A year had gone by since then, Daisuke was walking down the street dressed in a gold spaghetti strapped shirt with jeans, blue flats and had her long mahogany hair tied up into a messy bun as her bangs and fringes were around her face.
She had long since ditched her goggles and decided to save them for the next generation or her first born child to wear.
Turning around the corner, someone ran right into her, literally and sent them both down onto the ground, the male's body between her leg's while his arms were on either side of her head to stop himself from landing on her and hurting her.
"I am so sorry about that!" the male gasped.
"It's fine." Daisuke said as the male pulled up off of her.
He lifted his head up and their eyes met, chocolate brown looking into crimson red eyes, both surprised as they stared at each other.
The male was the same age as Daisuke, his caramel brown hair falling around his face, his skin a light peach tone while he had a pair of yellow goggles around his neck, wore a white t-shirt with a black button up vest over it, jeans and finally red and black shoes.
Both then blushed as they realized they were just staring at each other in a compromising position in public.
He quickly stood up and held a hand out to her and she took his offered hand, allowing him to pull her up onto her feet.
"Again, I'm really sorry about that." He said with a shy smile.
"And like I said, it's fine. I play soccer, so I'm used to getting knocked down." Daisuke smiled at him.
"Right. Um, I'm Takato by the way. Takato Matsuki." He introduced himself.
"I'm Daisuke Motomiya." She said.
Suddenly, a red dinosaur that came up to Takato's waist came over and bumped his head into his side, his golden eyes looking up at him curiously.
"Takatomon, I thought we were going to get some ice cream." He whined cutely.
Takato laughed nervously as he pet the dinosaur's head while Daisuke stared at him curiously.
"Sorry about him. This is my partner, Guilmon." He said.
"It's fine, my partner V-Mon is pretty hyper too. Especially when she drinks too much soda." Daisuke waved her hand to dismiss it.
Guilmon gave a curious sound as he walked over to the girl; sniffing at her while Takato grabbed his tail and tried to pull him back.
"Guilmon, knock it off. That's rude." He scolded.
"She smells sweet and like a digimon." Guilmon said.
Daisuke just chuckled at that as she pet his head, the dinosaur purring as he looked up at the girl and smiled.
"Yeah, my partner's name is V-Mon. I'm sure she'd love to meet you some time." She said.
"Yay! Can we go meet her now?" Guilmon cheered as he lifted his arms up happily.
"Guilmon. What am I going to do with you?" Takato sighed.
"That's what I wonder about V-Mon all the time. And yeah sure you can meet her if it's OK with Takato." Daisuke said as she and Guilmon looked at the crimson eyed boy.
"Yeah, sure. Let's go meet her." Takato said.
Nodding, Daisuke then turned to lead the two males with her down the street until they got to the apartment, the trio heading inside until they made it to the Motomiyas' home.
The girl pulled out her key and then unlocked the door, allowing the two males inside.
"Hello is anyone home?" she called as they walked inside.
There was no answer, but then a blue dragon started hopping out of a room smiling big, but then stopped as she spotted who her partner had brought home with her.
"Hiya Daisuke, who are your new friends?" she asked.
"V-Mon, this is Takato and Guilmon." Daisuke introduced.
Guilmon croaked happily as he walked over to the dragon, sniffing at her, the warm air puffing on her making V-Mon giggle.
"It looks like they're getting along great." Takato pointed out as he moved beside Daisuke.
"Yep. So how long have you been a Digidestined?" Daisuke asked as she walked over to the living room, Takato following her.
They both sat down on the couch while their digimon both played together.
"It was when I was 11. I always loved digimon, so I just started drawing pictures of my mine digimon, then one day Guilmon came to life. Later on I found out that Guilmon is a Royal Knight digimon and that I have the powers of Hazard inside of me." Takato informed.
"No way. V-Mon's a Royal Knight digimon too." Daisuke said.
Laughing made them turn to see Guilmon was sitting on the ground while he bounced V-Mon on his tail, both giggling.
"I guess that explains why they get along so well." Takato smiled.
"So what about you? You have any special powers?" he asked turning back to face the girl, blushing a bit as he saw how pretty she looked with the sun hitting her hair and making it glow red.
She looked back at him and saw him staring which made her blush too and bite her bottom lip.
"Miracles. I'm the Keeper of the Golden Radiance." She said.
"That's kind of ironic. My powers are destructive and dangerous while yours are pure and good. Weird how that works out, huh?" Takato asked.
V-Mon then hopped down from Guilmon's tail and looked over at their partners smiling at them.
They looked cute together.
Guilmon looked over to where she was, then purred happily as he saw the smile on Takato's face.
A beeping sound filled the air and Daisuke gave an apologetic smile to Takato as she pulled out her D-Terminal and saw that she was given a message from Ken.
"Oh, shoot." She said.
"What is it?" Takato asked.
"I forgot I was supposed to meet my friends for lunch." Daisuke said.
Guilmon whined because he didn't want to leave yet, he was having fun with V-Mon and he could smell that leaving would upset Takato.
"Oh. Well, we'll just get out of your hair then." Takato cleared his throat awkwardly.
"You guys can come if you want." Daisuke offered.
"Yeah, you can meet the rest of our friends." V-Mon chirped as she jumped up onto Guilmon's shoulders.
"Yeah!" the dinosaur agreed.
"Ok then. If you're sure about this." Takato said.
"Come on." Daisuke insisted as she grabbed his hands and pulled him along with her.
Guilmon ran after them, V-Mon holding onto his head as the duos of Miracles and Hazard left the apartment to go meet up with the other Digidestineds.
(At the pizza parlor…)
Yolei was tapping her nails on the surface of the table as she had a look of annoyance on her face, her cheeks almost the same color as her red t-shirt while Hawkmon sat on her jean skirt covered lap.
Kari, who was dressed in a pink sundress, was leaning against TK who was wearing a green shirt with jeans, the couple sitting next to Yolei while Gatomon and Patamon were sitting on their laps.
Cody, dressed in a purple t-shirt and brown pants was sitting across from them with Ken who was wearing a white shirt with jeans with Armadillomon and Wormmon were sitting on their partner's laps.
"Where is she already?" Yolei finally asked.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon." Kari assured.
"It better be with a good excuse." Yolei muttered.
"Maybe V-Mon went into a sugar rush again." Gatomon suggested.
"It wouldn't be the first time." Patamon pointed out.
"I'm sure they'll both be here soon enough." Hawkmon said.
Armadillomon then looked out the window and saw two humans with two digimon running after them.
"Oh, here she is now." He said making everyone turn to the window.
"Who are those guys with them?" Patamon asked.
"Guess we'll find out now." Cody said as the four ran into the parlor and quickly made it to the booth.
"Sorry I'm late, long story short, I ran into these guys. Meet Takato and Guilmon." Daisuke said pulling the boy down into the booth next to Ken.
"That was short." TK said.
Guilmon stood next to the booth while V-Mon stayed where she was on his shoulders, everyone looking the duo of Hazard over.
"Hey there, I'm Yolei Inoue and this is Hawkmon." The lavender haired girl started the introductions.
It didn't hurt that the boy was actually cute.
"I'm Kari Kamiya, this is Gatomon, my boyfriend TK Takaishi and Patamon." The child of Light pointed out to herself and her boyfriend.
"And my name is Cody Hida. This is my partner Armadillomon. It's nice to meet you." the youngest boy said as he bowed his head.
"I'm Ken Ichijouji and this is Wormmon. So how did you meet exactly?" the child of Kindness asked.
He couldn't help but notice that his best friend was still holding hands with Takato which made him smile hoping that she had finally met someone that was right for her.
"Well, my family just moved to Odaiba a week ago. Guilmon and I were trying to find the ice cream shop, but ran into Daisuke instead. Literally ran into her." Takato chuckled.
"Really? So were you on a Digidestined team too?" Kari asked.
"And are you single?" Yolei asked.
The second generation all sighed at that typical question from the child of Love and Sincerity.
She had to ask any cute guy that question.
"Actually, I used to date one of my teammates Jeri, but we broke up a few months ago. She's going out with one of my friends, Ryo." Takato answered.
"That must be awkward." Cody said.
"Not really. We just decided it wasn't right for us to date anymore, so we broke up. Besides, everyone loves Ryo." Takato said.
"Tell us more about your team then." TK said.
"All right, well, we're called the Tamers and…"
Takato then told everyone about his old team much to their amazement and they did the same, the duo of Hazard spending a lot of time with the Digidestineds, then the Tamers came down for a visit, Daisuke and Ryo getting along great due to their adventurous spirits while Ken and Henry got along being the more logical friends of the goggle heads.
Yolei and Kari both got on Rika's nerves while Jeri loved hanging out with both girls.
Currently, the two groups were at the beach to have fun with each other.
Yolei was wearing a lavender one piece while Kari wore a pink one piece, Jeri wore a green one, Ai had a red bathing suit, Suzie had on a bright pink, Rika wore a blue bikini and Daisuke wore a white bikini.
The two redheaded girls got the most attention out of the male population at the beach, namely Ken and Takato.
Takato was wearing a pair of red swimming trunks, Ryo had on purple, Henry had green, Kazu had brown, Kenta had amber, Cody had yellow, Ken had black, Mako wore dark purple and TK had teal.
Everyone was off doing their own thing, playing in the water, eating, tanning or even playing in the sand.
Ken, Rika, Renamon and Worrmon were sitting by the water talking to each other, the plum haired boy trying not to stare at the pretty Blue Tamer.
Meanwhile Daisuke was playing in the water with Guilmon, V-Mon and Calumon laughing as they chased each other around and splashed each other as Takato watched them.
"You might want to clean up the drool." Ryo said as he walked over to the boy.
Blushing darkly, Takato looked up at the smirking brunette.
"W-What do ya mean?" he stuttered.
Rolling his eyes in amusement, Ryo sat down on the blanket with Takato.
"Look, it's obvious to everyone but you and Daisuke that you two like each other. I say you man up and just ask her out." The Legendary Tamer advised.
Takato hummed in thought as he then looked over to where Daisuke was playing with the three digimon and Cody was building a sandcastle with Armadillomon and Jeri.
TK and Kari were acting all lovey dovey with each other as they shared a smoothie while Patmon and Gatomon spoke with them.
Henry was locked in a game of volleyball with Kenta, Kazu, Terriermon, Impmon, Ai and Mako while MarineAngemon played referee.
After a while, Daisuke finally walked away from the digimon and sat down next to Takato, Ryo winking at the brunette boy before he then got up and walked off.
"Hey, so what's up?" Daisuke asked him.
"Uh, nothing really." Takato said.
Shrugging at that, Daisuke leaned back to rest under the shade of the umbrella while Takato glanced over at her, smiling a bit at how the slight breeze was blowing her hair back from her face and off her shoulders.
Clearing his throat, Takato caught her attention making the girl look over at him to see what he wanted.
"Um, Daisuke…if I were to…ask you out…you know, on a date, what would you say to that?" he asked.
Daisuke looked surprised of this, but just smiled at him and leaned over to place a kiss on his cheek making his eyes go wide and face flame.
"I'd say it was about time you asked." She said.
He chuckled at that as he tackled her to the blanket and tickled her sides making her shriek with laughter while Rika and Ken looked over at them in amusement.
"It was about time they started going out." Ken sighed.
"Yeah, well at the goggle head was brave enough to ask a girl out…unlike you." Rika smirked making Ken look at her.
"What do you mean?" he asked nervously.
Rolling her eyes at that, Rika just grabbed him by the back of his head and pulled him over to her, planting a kiss on his lips, making him blush darkly, but he also just melted into the kiss.
"Wow, a lot of couples are getting together today." Terriermon said as he used one of his ears to block his eyes from the sun.
"It must be this heat. It's raising their hormone levels and making them act an instinct rather than keeping their feelings bottled up." Lopmon suggested.
"Who cares about that? Let's get some ice cream." Impmon said.
Ai and Mako laughed as they held hands with Impmon and pulled them off to the beach bar where they served ice cream, hot dogs, soda and other junk foods.
Takato laughed as he pulled Daisuke into his arms, her back against his chest as she sat between his legs and they both looked out over their friends to see them all enjoying their time.
"Want to start off our date by getting something to eat?" he asked.
"Yes please." She said.
They both stood up and raced off to the beach bar to get some food to start off their date.
The end.
