Author's Note: Hey, everyone. First I would like to thank everyone for their response to this story. I have decided due to request and the popularity of this story to write a series of oneshots which I will be adding to this story. I have plans for at least two maybe three more through I will not be doing anymore after that. The first three will be centered on the individual relationships between Tai, Matt, T.K., and Kari in regards to Davis. At least the first two, including this one, will involve the process leading to Davis forgiving the first three and the third will probably be more of an explanation as to why Kari behaved the way she did through I haven't actually written it yet. The last will be a battle scene involving an evil digimon and how Davis would handle digital enemies with the new knowledge he gained from his lifetime as Naruto and why he would handle it that way. I hope you enjoy these as much as you enjoyed the story.

Tai

Tai Kamiya grimaced as he knocked on the Motomiya family's door. He had come to see a friend through Davis wasn't willing to return the sentiment again quite yet.

The two boys had met when Tai was in middle school through their mutual love of soccer. Tai couldn't pinpoint when he fell into the same mistaken perception his sister and all their friends later had or if it had started the day he met the enthusiastic teen.

The two were very much alike which made his behavior even worse. Tai was a hot head. In the years he had mellowed some after taking the mantle of leadership for his group of digidestined. When he and his companions ended up in the Digital World he hadn't planned anything. He just reacted to the situation and it cost them a few times. Matt Ishida, his best friend since their adventure together, told him that he thought Tai was an arrogant hot head when they first met. Davis was much the same way. First impressions gave people an incomplete view of Davis. Only those who saw his hidden intelligence could call him a friend and most who had believed they could hold that title found out otherwise seven months ago when Davis finally ended the farce he considered his friendship with most of the digidestined, including Tai, to be.

Everyone made various attempts to apologize and make up for their mistakes but Tai had been avoiding Davis. He was ashamed of his behavior but even worse he was angry at himself for not even noticing the disservice he had done to his successor. He couldn't even figure out why he'd done it. Years ago, when Davis and the new generation of digidestined went to the Digital World he made Davis their leader. There was a good reason. Tai had been impressed by Davis's handling of the strange situation they found themselves in. There were a few times he was impressed again but after the final battle against MaloMyotismon, most of the time spent in the Digital World was reconstruction and they didn't need a leader as much.

Tai had started college and spent much less time with Davis. Most of what he knew about Davis in recent years came from his sister and the new generation of digidestined of which his sister and two others had been angry and unfair to Davis both in person and what they had told the older children. Not that Tai was trying to shift blame. The older generation had a responsibility to help the younger generation and as a friend every digidestined had a responsibility to treat their friends, including Davis, with respect. That was a responsibility that only two digidestined had done leaving the rest scrambling to find a way to fix the damage they had done.

Sora had finally cornered him two days ago and insisted he talk to Davis. She, Mimi, Izzy, and Joe had already worked things out with Davis. Mind you, they didn't have the crest connections Matt or Tai did nor were they the digidestined leader for either generation. Tai had chosen Davis and then showed the teen little trust or respect in recent times. It would be harder to mend the friendship with Davis for Tai, Matt, Kari, T.K., and Yolei but Sora was right when she told him they needed to work on becoming a team again and Tai despite dreading this meeting did want his friend back. He had missed playing soccer with one of the few digidestined who could match him.

To Tai's horror, Jun answered. She had not appreciated their behavior toward her brother. Not even Sora and the others had managed to gain her forgiveness despite gaining Davis's.

"H-Hi Jun. Is Davis home?" Tai stuttered under her icy glare.

"Yes. He's expecting you but if I hear any indication Davis wants you to leave, I'll throw you out myself."

"Yes, ma'am." Tai gulped.

"Davis, Tai's here." Jun finally shouted back into the apartment.

"Thanks, Jun. Send him back."

Tai scurried away from Jun toward Davis's voice as fast as possible, her glare following him the whole way.

Davis's room was neat. While it had not been quite the pig sty the digidestined had occasionally teased him about it being, it had been a bit messy. Tai suspected the Konoha newcomer Hinata had something to do with it. His desktop computer rested on the small desk opposite his new orange and black bedspread. They formed a swirling pattern which Tai found fascinating. School books and notebook paper lay next to the computer. His soccer ball and shoes rested in his closet. Tai recognized many of the soccer teams on Davis's walls. The new pictures of Japanese ninja and authentic samurai accompanied sketches of various wilderness scenes most with forests and one mountain were new. Only some of the forest scenes were colored. The mountain featured five faces which Tai didn't recognize.

"So, who drew the pictures?" Tai asked after an uncomfortable silence.

"Neji. It's a hobby of his. The mountain was a national monument in Konoha, it holds the faces of all the leaders the Hidden Leaf village, Konoha, has had including the one currently in power, the woman Tsunade at the end." Davis explained watching Tai wearily.

"Oh. I-" Tai started but stopped as he realized he didn't know how to start.

"I'm surprised. You've been avoiding me. I wasn't expecting you to want to talk." Davis started.

"I-Sora-I know. I should have talked to you sooner. I have no excuse for my behavior. I based my behavior on what I was told which was wrong. As a leader, I should have known better. The digidestined are my responsibility as are you Davis. I chose you to lead and instead of supporting you I treated you with disrespect."

"Why did you choose me as leader? Was it a joke? You make me leader so T.K. could undermine me. What was the purpose or did I mess up somehow?" Davis asked passionately.

"No. I chose you because I believed you would be a great leader. The courage you showed and the level head. Ever since your first trip to the Digital you've impressed me and I don't know what happened to change that. I'm sorry, Davis. I do want to be your friend but I know I messed up." Tai answered vehemently.

"I really impressed you?"

"Yeah especially against MaloMyotismon. You saved everyone. So, what now?""

"We try this friendship again. Wanta play soccer tomorrow after I get out of school?" Davis asked.

"Yeah. Thanks, Davis." Tai agreed happily. An awkward silence followed.

"So, you said sketching was a hobby for Neji. How are Neji, Hinata, and Sasuke settling in?" Tai asked curiously.

Seven months ago, Davis had found out and actually remembered he had been a ninja in another dimension while jailing a demon beast in his body. Three of the friends who had come looking for him had stayed behind when the rest returned to their home dimension.

"Neji's working with troubled teens. Hinata's working on a nursing degree and Sasuke is in the police academy right now. He intends to be a police officer here."

"Are you and Hinata still dating?"

"Yeah. She's much more confident than she used to be."

"Glad to hear it. I'll see you tomorrow, Davis."

"Yeah, Tai. Thanks." Davis answered as Tai left. Hopes were high with both boys that their renewed friendship would succeed.
