"Missing"
Here is the next chapter. I hope you all like it. Please enjoy and review. Thanks.
Matt was sitting beside Daisuke as she opened up the port on her computer, watching as the gate beeped and a small white and blue dragon came barreling out and into the mahogany haired girl's arms.
"Daishuke!" Demiveemon cried as he hugged his human.
"Demiveemon, how was it?" Daisuke asked her partner as she hugged him and then lifted him up to kiss his nose, making him giggle.
"It wash great. We all had a picnic and played gamesh and other stuff." The dragon said excitedly.
Demiveemon then noticed the dog in the room with them, so he squirmed out of Daisuke's hold, making his way over to the golden furred animal.
"Daishuke, when didja get a new pet?" he asked inspecting the dog.
"Just yesterday. He's a stray and doesn't have a name yet. I was hoping you could help me with coming up with one." Daisuke said.
Demiveemon stared up into the dog's azure eyes with his big scarlet eyes, the dog tilting his head to the side as he wondered what the dragon was thinking about.
The dragon scrunched his face up in thought, crossing his short stubby arms as he tried to figure out a good name.
Daisuke watched them both as they unknowingly competed in a staring match, wondering who would come out victorious in the end.
Demiveemon's face lit up as he pointed a paw at the dog.
"Yamato!" he said.
Matt froze when the dragon said the name.
"H-How did he know? How the hell did he guess who I am?" Matt asked himself since 'Matt' was a short version for his name Yamato.
"Yamato? Why do ya wanna call him that? I mean, it's a great name, but why?" Daisuke asked as she pets the dog.
The dragon smiled as he faced her.
"Becaushe, Kira Yamato ish aweshome!" he said with stars in his eyes.
Matt and Daisuke had dumbfounded looks on their faces, before the human girl laughed and the dog sulked.
"I almost forgot. Gundam Seed is your favorite TV show." Daisuke said as the dog laid his head on the girl's lap.
"Unbelievable." Matt said.
"Well, he does look like a Yamato, so I guess that'll be his name." the child of Miracles said.
"What do you think, Yama? Do you like it?" she said the dog as she scratched the spot between his shoulder blades.
"At least they'll be calling me by my real name and it will be easier to answer to." Matt said as he enjoyed the feeling of the girl scratching one of his sweet spots.
A few more days had gone by and Matt was getting used to living with the Motomiya family and he had to say he didn't like the way Daisuke's family treated her.
They always seemed to treat her like she was unintelligent and lazy when she spent more time playing video games, playing her guitar (he was stunned to high heavens when he first heard her play) and taking care of him and Veemon.
He sadly admitted that he also used to think of her the same way her parents and sister used to.
He now knew why she said those things about Jun when they first met, because Jun didn't keep her disdain for her sister at bay.
Veemon would watch this all with anger in his eyes and wanted to do something to make them stop, but held his tongue and did nothing at all.
When he saw Matt giving him a look that must have asked why he was just standing by, he said;
"Daisuke said this wash normal. I can't do anything unless they physically hurt her. I'm not happy 'bout this, but she told me."
Currently the blonde dog was standing by the window looking down at the people walking along the sidewalk outside.
Daisuke had been called by Tai to go over to his place soon and she was just in the shower.
Last night she had given Matt a bath and it was a very awkward experience for him since she was bathing him.
She was dressed in a bikini as she bathed him, but it was more skin than he was used to her showing, considering she never wore anything revealing unlike Yolei, Kari, Mimi and Sora who had tops that might flash a few centimetres of cleavage, but Daisuke never showed anything.
She had worn the blue bikini in case he struggled and splashed her so her cloths wouldn't get wet and Veemon even helped with rising out his fur.
The blonde dog had to say he preferred the end when he was being dried off and then Daisuke gently brushed his fur out.
After she was done, he admired his silky coat as he looked at his reflection as the light shined on it; his highlights making him look gold.
The mahogany haired girl laughed as she knelt down by him and scratched the tip of his hair.
"Who is that gorgeous animal in the mirror?" she teased making him puff up in pride.
The sound of the door opening made him look away from the window and snapped out of his thoughts to see that the girl he was thinking about was dressed in a long sleeved black top with white pants and blue convers towel drying her hair.
"Hey, Yama." She said to the dog as his tail wagged and he bounded over to her.
"OK, so I know I said we were going to my friend's house, but he just sent me a message to say he was coming over in a few minutes. But I promise to take you out after he leaves." She swore to him.
"It figures that Tai would make last minute plans like that. If I were you, I'd be on his case about it." Matt said.
Veemon hopped out of the room since Jun and the parents weren't home, free to roam as much as he wanted and sat on the couch, grabbing the remote and turned the TV on.
"Hey, a Charmed rerun's playin'." He said as he settled back to watch.
Matt gave him a look, but just walked over to the couch with Daisuke, crawling on top of the girl after she sat down, relishing in her magic fingers that massaged his scalp as they watched the show.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door.
"I got it!" Veemon called jumping up and running over to check who it was.
After that was done, he opened the door and allowed Tai and Agumon in, both looking very grave.
The child of Courage was dressed in a blue t-shirt that was nearly black, jeans and black and purple shoes while Agumon was wearing a red hoodie that covered most of his face.
"Hey guys." Daisuke greeted as Veemon closed the door and led the duo of courage over to the couch.
"Hey Dai." Tai said as he stopped in place when he saw the large wolf like dog that had golden fur, his eyes looking so familiar to him.
"When did you get that dog?" he asked.
"A few days ago. I just found this guy abandoned outside my apartment." Daisuke said as she continued her ministrations on the dog.
"Wow, he's big. What's his name?" Agumon said as he pulled his hood down.
"Yamato." Veemon said making Tai give them a strange look.
"You named him after Matt?" he asked.
"What? No, why do you ask that?" Daisuke asked with a curious look.
Tai sat down on the arm of the couch as the orange dino sat down on the floor with Veemon.
"Matt's real name is Yamato." He said.
"Are you serious?" she asked pausing in her massaging making Matt look up and make an annoyed groan.
"Yeah. Anyway, Matt's the reason I came over here." Tai said getting serious.
Said mentioned person looked up at his best friend, wondering if they had noticed he was missing yet.
"Are the Teenage Wolves having another concert? Or is my sister stalking him again?" Daisuek asked.
"I wish. Matt's been missing for the past few days." Tai said.
Matt watched as his successor's eyes grew wide in shock and worry as she sat up straight.
"Missing? How can he be missing?" she asked with a slight tone of hysteria threatening to come out.
"No one knows. Gabumon was the last one who saw him. They were checking out some temple in the Digital World, then Matt went home. His dad was working all night long and he said the door was wide open when he got home and Matt was gone. Not only that, but the place was kinda messed." Tai said.
"Ya think he was kidnapped?" Veemon asked.
"No way. Matt wouldn't let himself be kidnapped that easily. There has to be more to it." the child of Miracles said clenching her hands, the dog looking at her.
Ever since he became an animal he was able to easily sense and smell the way people felt and right now Daisuke was worried sick about Matt-him-and she wanted to know what could have happened to him.
"We're all going to be looking for him later. Maybe that dog of yours can even help us out." Tai said looking at the dog.
Daisuke looked down at the dog, her chocolate eyes clouded over in depression and worry for her friend.
"Maybe." She said softly.
Tai smiled sadly as he saw how upset his successor was and leaned over, placing his hand on the back of her neck, placing his forehead on hers.
"We'll find him. Don't worry." He said.
Daisuke forced a small smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.
Matt watched this scene going on in front of him and wasn't too thrilled about it at all.
It was bad enough that his best friend was now dating his ex-girlfriend, but now he was having a tender moment with his successor?
His animal instincts took over as he started growling at the brunette, making the two children of Courage and their partners look at the dog in confusion.
"Whoa! Easy boy." Tai said getting up away from the dog that now looked more like a wolf defending his territory.
Daisuke frowned as she gently ran her fingers through the animal's fur, massaging the tense muscles in his neck and back.
"Easy there, Yama. He's a friend of mine. You don't have to scare him off, OK?" she said.
Matt listened to her voice and slowly calmed down and when he was fully calmed, his master kissed his snout.
"That's my boy. Sorry about that, Tai. He doesn't normally act like this." Daisuke said giving Tai an apologetic smile.
"Don't worry about it. I have to get going anyway. Got a date." He said holding up his hands.
"A date?" Daisuke asked with a smile and laugh, her tone filled with disbelief.
Matt mentally smirked at that as Tai pouted, Veemon and Agumon both laughing.
"I can get a date. I mean, hey, if you can get a guy to kiss you, then why can't I get a girl?" the child of Courage asked.
"Because I'm sweet and cute?" Daisuke said with a smile as she batted her eyelashes and cupped her hands under her chin to give off that innocent look.
"OK, I'll give ya that." Tai said as the digimon laughed again and Matt settled himself properly on his master's lap, licking the place under her jaw, trying to make her turn her attention back to him.
"Wow, if only he were human. You two would be the perfect couple." Tai teased making Daisuke pick up one if the throw pillows and threw it at Tai as he made a dash for the door, Agumon on his tail.
"Yeah, you better run!" Daisuke called as she watched the pillow hit him in the head just as he made it out the door, Agumon picked up the pillow and tossed it back into the room before he closed the door behind them.
The apartment was then silent except for the TV that was still playing the show.
Daisuke sighed sadly as she thought back to what Tai had said about Matt.
What could have happened to him?
Veemon and Matt looked at her, sensing her worry and grew concerned for her themselves.
"Daisuke?" the blue dragon questioned as he got up on the couch and placed his hand on her shoulder.
She looked at him as she hugged him, the same look on her face.
"I just hope Matt's OK out there…where ever he is." She said.
The blonde dog watched, having a strange time believing that Daisuke actually felt this way for him.
He felt…touched.
"How do you really about me, Daisuke Motomiya?" Matt asked.
