Davis headed out dressed as his civilian form after he got rest after his latest night with Satina. He met up with Ross who was allowed to go out. Right now, they were in a wooden area where Ross was practicing his moves. Davis just sat back on a tree and was just watching as Ross released some fire and ice.
"Come on, Davis. Get in on this." Ross said as he was practicing his moves.
"No thanks." Davis said. "There's something I need to talk to you about." Davis thought things with him and Satina were getting out of hand. He acted the way he did because he was upset, but now he's thinking with a clear head.
"Okay." Ross said as he stopped talking and walked over to him with Davis landing down. "What's up?"
"Do you remember that girl from when you were going on a rampage? She kicked you in the head." Davis said.
"Yeah." Ross said. "My head was a lot clearer and I remember her."
"Her name is Satina. She was actually the girl I told you about before." Davis said. "The one who stole those jewels and kissed me."
"The criminal?" Ross said.
"She's not a criminal." Davis said. "She just prefers to do things her way. Anyway, I've been "having fun" with her if you know what I mean."
"Hold on. Are you dating her?" Ross said.
"That's just it. She claims she doesn't want to be my girlfriend and yet we've been getting "involved" with each other." Davis said and Ross could not believe what he was hearing.
"You're having a friends with benefits relationship?!" Ross said. "Davis, you might be a lot of things, but I never thought you would be that kind of guy."
"Me either, but it happened. She knew how to get to me." Davis said. "She's not even interested in Davis Motomiya. She's interested in Dokugu-Man."
"So how long has this been going on?" Ross asked.
"A little while." Davis said.
"So what's the problem? Also, be discreet. I don't need all the details." Ross said.
"It was last night." Davis said. "Veemon left and I saw Kari and T.K. together and I think they were on a date."
"Oh no. This again." Ross groaned as he knew all about that part of Davis' past.
"I was so upset about both of those. So I went with Satina and spent the night with her." Davis said.
"Please skip over this part. I don't need to hear it." Ross said.
"I'll just tell you that we went at it all night until the sun rose." Davis said. "When that happened, she was able to see who I was under the mask."
"She….She….Really, all night until sunrise? Wow." Ross said as he found that a little unbelievable. "Hold on. If this has been going on for a while, shouldn't she have seen your face before that?"
"She claimed it was dark and couldn't see my face fully and she always left before I woke up." Davis said. "When she did stay, she placed my mask back on. This time….I let it happen."
"You let her see who you are under your mask?! Are you nuts?" Ross said.
"I know. After I began to calm down, I was thinking clearly and figured I made a big mistake." Davis said.
"Okay. So what's the problem exactly?" Ross said.
"I know what I'm doing might be wrong, but I don't know how to make it stop. I don't know what to do now." Davis said. Ross took a deep breath to take in all that he heard.
"I get it. You think it's wrong, but it feels right." Ross said.
"Exactly." Davis said.
"It's okay. Everyone gives into temptation at some point, and I'm sure it was tempting given how she looked." Ross said. "Everyone has their own form of guilty pleasure. Something you know is wrong in some way, but it feels so good. It can be hard to stop and when you do, sometimes you're pulled back."
"So what do I do?" Davis asked.
"I think, given the circumstances, you just got to ask yourself what you really want." Ross said. "Do you want to continue on like this or do you want a real relationship? If she doesn't want that, maybe she's not right for you." Hearing this all from a friend really helped Davis out. He had some thinking he needed to do.
….
Satina
Satina was hanging around the rooftops again. While Davis was doubting all of it, Satina was loving all of it. That's why she seemed pretty thrilled when she saw Davis swinging her way.
"Look who's here." Satina said as Davis landed down near her. "I prefer night, but I'm willing to get a little freaky."
"We need to talk." Davis said and Satina was getting sick of all the talking. "I don't think I can do this anymore." That caught her attention.
"What?" Satina said.
"This. What we're doing." Davis said. "I can't do this anymore. It's not that I haven't enjoyed it. It has kept my mind off my problems, but it's enough. I asked myself what I really wanted. I want to have a real relationship, but I know that's not what you want. It's probably best we just end this before it gets worse. I'm sorry."
"For what?" Satina said as she was acting like it wasn't bothering her. "It's not like we're breaking up. I told you that if you wanted out, you just had to say so. You really want to end it here, fine. I was just looking for a good time with someone that wasn't so ordinary was all and that's what I got."
"Wow. You're taking this better than I thought." Davis said.
"Like I said, it's not like we're breaking up because it wasn't like we were dating. Don't think this means the offer expires." Satina said as she tapped his chest. "You want to have a go for any reason, just let me know."
"Uh….I'll keep that in mind." Davis said, but he highly doubt that will happen.
"See you around." Satina said and used her athletics to leave. Davis thought that went pretty well and now it's one less problem he has to worry about. As for Satina, she let all of what happened just sink in. "So I guess that's that." There little arrangement has ended, but she got what she wanted, but she felt something was wrong. "It's the end." She said, but sounded a little sadder. She stopped moving to figure out what was wrong with her. She got what she wanted so why was she feeling this way? It was like she got damaged at the heart as she held it and she didn't know what it was.
…..
Davis' Apartment
Davis was starting put things back together with him. He's done with Satina in terms of pleasure, stopped a few crimes, it was actually a good day for him and he was all set to call it a day.
"What a day." Davis said as he was going in through the front door this time. "Now I just need to find Veemon." However, when he went in his apartment, he passed by his room and saw Kari was there. "Kari?"
"Hi." Kari said.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" Davis said.
"I still had your spare key." Kari said. "I was hoping we could talk. I went out with T.K. and before you assume anything, it was not a date."
"It wasn't?" Davis said. That made what he did that night feel a little worst.
"No. We talked about you and me." Kari said. "Davis, I know we broke up because you wanted to keep me safe and I didn't like how Dokugu-Man kept coming between us, but I was never over it. T.K. had me see that I still want to make this work. I know you want to keep me safe, but I can take care of myself. Not to mention I have my brother and Gatomon looking out for me."
"You really want to go through all this knowing the consequences?" Davis asked.
"Yes. Even if I'm sounding a little selfish, I want this. I care about you more than hating those criminals who keep forcing you to leave." Kari said. "What about you, Davis? Do you still want this?" That seems to be the keyword: want. Davis has been trying to make decisions and was never truly sure what he wanted. This time, he was sure of what he wanted from what he told Satina and he already knew the person he wanted that to be. Davis walked right over to her and kissed Kari and that answered her question. They both got what they wanted now. Meanwhile, someone else saw what they both wanted as well. Satina was on the building across the street and could see what was going on through the window and she hated it. She gripped on the concrete for she could not stand what she was seeing so much. This also let her see what she really wanted.

Royal
Walter Romin, also known as Royal, was looking over all the data and information he had on Dokugu-Man. He was trying to find a suitable person who could bring Dokugu-Man down.
"Crow couldn't do it, neither could Flame Ice or my own forces." Royal said. "There must be someone who can bring him down." As he was thinking, he heard something land down in front of his desk.
"Hello again, Walter." He looked up and was a little surprised to see Satina.
"You! Don't try to weasel yourself out of trouble this time, Satina." Royal said. "My forces saw you with Dokugu-Man and you were helping him."
"I'm in." Satina said, but Royal was a little confused.
"Explain." Royal said.
"I'll help bring you Dokugu-Man." Satina said.
"I thought you weren't going to." Royal said. "I also saw that you were helping him. Why would you do such a thing against him?"
"I changed my mine." Satina said as she sounded furious. "Now do you want my help or not?"
"Give me one good reason I should even trust you." Royal said.
"Because you'll never be able to catch him without me." Satina said. "So I'll ask you again. Do you want my help?" Decisions have been made. Seems like everyone is going to get what they want really soon.
