Chapter 2:
The sun had just barely risen in the horizon but in the Motomiya household, Daisuke was already awake and busy making breakfast for her family in the morning.
The young brunet had always been an early riser, because of this she was always the one that cooks breakfast before everyone else wakes up and as her family was eating; she would in the bathroom taking a shower.
Daisuke made four omelets for everyone and after setting down all the plates at the kitchen table, started eating her breakfast.
After eating and putting her plate into the sink, the brunet went to the bathroom to get ready for school.
Once the bathroom door had close and was locked, Daisuke started to unravel the bandages wrapped around her arms. What was seen hidden under the bandages was something that would make even the strongest of men feels the need to vomit.
The brunet's arms were littered with strange symbols that looked like a psychopath had craved them into her flesh by how clean and precise they looked but in reality it was actually Daisuke who made them.
After storing the bandages at a place that would not get hit by water and taking her clothes off, the youngest Motomiya started to get herself washed.
A moment later, Daisuke gets out of her bedroom with the bandages wrapped tightly onto her arms, her backpack slung over one of her shoulders and a midnight black book with golden symbols wearing a black hooded jacket over a red T-shirt and a pair of dark blue pants.
She walks into the kitchen to see her family currently eating the omelets she made for them earlier. Sitting down at the only vacant seat that exist on the table, the brunet puts her backpack onto the floor and opens up a page that had a bookmarker in it before reciting the words silently to herself.
"Daisukeā¦" Mr. Motomiya started but got no reply from said person. This was not uncommon in the Motomiya household as they all knew that when the youngest member was reciting, she would never respond unless it was important.
"Daisuke, you should really start making friends at school. Sure your grades are best of any student there but you can't keep living this lonely life" the man continued with his speech.
"Your father's right, honey, you should be living the life of any normal teenager. Like hanging out with your friends or playing sports" Ms. Motomiya added but unbeknownst by the family members, Daisuke voice was slowly turning a little menacing.
"So please Daisuke, try to make at least one friend today-" Mr. Motomiya said before getting cut off.
"Enough!" Daisuke growled as she slams the book shut and three plates that were stacked together spontaneously exploded. "Oh no, I'm so sorry for destroying the plates" she gasps as she bends down and picks up all the broken plate pieces.
"No Daisuke, it's us that are sorry. We should've notice that the topic was annoying you and shouldn't have continued with it" Ms. Motomiya said while helping her youngest daughter.
"No, I am to blame here. Rule one, three and four of a responsible child; I must never put my parents in harm's way, I must never raise my voice against my parents and I must never destroy an item of my parents' possession. As such, I will be going the dishes for three days straight to amend for destroying the plates and breaking the rules of a responsible child" Daisuke said in a very formal voice before checking the clock on the wall.
"I need to go to school now" she said as she picks up her backpack, slung it over her shoulder and leaves out the front door after wearing her shoes.
"Dais is so formal all the time. I wish I could go back to when she was just an average overly cheerful carefree four year old" Jun sighed before continuing to eat her breakfast.
Daisuke had left her apartment twenty minutes earlier than most students normally do and since her house was very close by it took her a few minutes to arrive at the front gate.
Upon entering the school grounds, the brunet walks to a nearby bench and takes out the black book from earlier before continuing to recite the words on the page.
Later, students started arriving into the school grounds but Daisuke was too caught up in her reciting to notice but suddenly a figure was standing in front of her.
"Hi, I'm new here and I need to get to the Principal's Office to finish my registration. I was supposed to do it with my friend that is a student here but she's not here yet" the figure said, sounding a little nervous.
Daisuke, even though not in the mood to stop her reciting, closed her book and gets up from the bench to help the person, who was a blond boy with azure eyes wearing a cream colored Gilligan hat, a yellow and green T-shirt and a pair of dark green shorts.
Without saying a word, the brunet gestured the boy to follow her as she walks towards the Principal's Office.
For Daisuke, the entire walk to the Principal's Office was test of mental endurance for, even though his intensions were good, the blond boy kept asking her questions about every important thing that they came across.
"For the love of all that is sacred and holy, would you shut the fuck up before I smash your head into this concrete wall!" the brunet growled with her fists balled up tightly as they were about to reach the Principal's Office.
The blond yelped in shock and became silent; worried that Daisuke was serious about hurting him if he said another word.
Once the duo was at the Principal's door, the brunet waited outside while the boy went inside to finish his registration.
A moment later, he comes out and turns to the girl who helped him.
"Thanks for helping me and I'm sorry for talking too much during the entire trip" the blond apologize with a bow. "My name is Takeru Taikashi but everyone calls me TK" he added.
"The name's Daisuke Motomiya but people call me Dais and you don't need to apologize, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you for something like that" Daisuke said before both of them heard someone calling out the blond's name.
They turn to the source of the voice to see a brunet girl with chocolate brown eyes and camera hanging down from her neck wearing a pink and white sleeveless T-shirt, a pair of long fingerless gloves that passes her elbows and a pair of yellow shorts.
"TK! I'm so sorry I was late, my alarm died and Tai nearly overslept this morning" the brunet girl said as she stops right in front of the duo.
"It's okay Kari, Dais helped me get to the Principal's Office" TK said with smile while gesturing to the brunet next to him.
"Dais?" the girl, Kari, blinked as she turns her gaze to person next to her friend. "Dais, I can't believe it's you!" she cheered before tackling the taller girl in a tight hug.
"Hello again Kari, can you please let go? I need to get to class" Daisuke sighed and left after being released from the hug.
"What was that about?" TK asks his friend with a curious look on his face.
"Sorry, it's just that me and Dais are old friends that met before you and I went to the Digital World but she hadn't been talking to me or Tai for a long time now" Kari said as the duo started to walk to see the rest of the school.
"What do you mean Kari?".
"Well when Daisuke and I were younger, we used to always go and play at the park together whenever I'm not sick and she was always with this man named Ryoki Tamashi. I don't really know how those two met but since Dais' family was constantly doing their own things and leaving her alone, Ryoki had been taking care of her like she was his very own daughter and it made them quite close. But after we came back from the Digital World, I never saw Ryoki again and Dais had become very distant to everyone around her since".
"I wonder what happened to Ryoki" TK said absentmindedly with his hand on his chin.
Later, the school bell rang and students were going to their respective classes.
When Kari arrives at her classroom, she saw Daisuke sitting by the window while aimlessly staring at the sky. Taking this as an opportunity rebuilt her friendship with the taller brunet; she sits down at the desk neck to hers.
The classroom door slides open and the teacher walks into the room. He sets his stuff onto the desk at the front before turning his attention to the students.
"Alright settle down class. My name is Mr. Hamasaki and we'll be having a new student joining us" the teacher, Mr. Hamasaki, said before gesturing to the person behind the door to come in.
The classroom door slides open and TK walks into the room.
"Hello, my name is Takeru Taikashi but just call me TK" the blond introduce himself while the teacher wrote his name on the blackboard for everyone to see.
"Mr. Taikashi, you can sit in front of the girl with the camera" Mr. Hamasaki said after examining for a place for the newcomer to sit.
TK did as he was told and sat in front of Kari.
As Mr. Hamasaki turns his back to start the subject, the blond looks over his shoulder and whispered "The teacher looks like Ogremon".
Kari giggled at her friend's joke but Daisuke stared at the duo in utter shock.
'They know about Ogremons? How is that possible?' the brunet thought before turning her attention back to the lesson.
School continued like normal and soon the final rang, signaling to all students that it was over.
Daisuke quickly packs her books into her backpack was about to leave the classroom but bumped into Kari and TK.
"Hi Dais, you want to go to the library with us?" Kari asks with a smile but before the other brunet could say anything a lavender haired girl with light brown eyes and large round glasses wearing a purple V-neck and a pair of jeans walks up to them.
"Excuse me, do you happen to be related to Tai Kamiya?" the girl asks Kari.
"Hi Yolie and yeah I'm related to him. Why do you ask?" the brunet girl blinked.
"I got an email from your brother" the older girl, Yolie, said before handing a piece of paper to the other girl.
Kari read the paper for a moment before she exclaimed "Oh no, my brother's in trouble!".
Daisuke, who did not wanted to get caught up in the group's affairs left when they were not looking and heads back home.
Later, the brunet arrives at her apartment but it was empty. For most people this would be unusual but Daisuke was used to this as her family was always rarely home.
She walks into the kitchen to see that the mess she had made earlier in the morning had been cleaned up and there were no dirty dishes in the sink.
After making sure that the house was tidy and in order, Daisuke puts her backpack onto her computer table in her bedroom which looked like any other room except for a large circle that was draw onto the floor by a permanent marker.
A ring of strange letters make up the outmost part of the circle followed by four smaller circle each with a different letter at four different directions, a five pointed star at the center with its points just sort of touching the ring.
Daisuke stood at the very center of the star and slowly undo the bandages on her right hand. Once it was done, she takes out a small Swiss army knife from her pocket before flipping out the knife and cuts her hand just enough to make her blood slowly drip onto the floor.
Suddenly the symbol started to glow crimson before a tear appeared in front of her and she walks inside it.
At the other side was a forest surrounded by large trees. Daisuke rewrapped her right hand to stop it from bleeding after she had kept her knife back into her pocket.
Taking a look at her surroundings, the brunet could not help but feel nostalgic about a certain someone from her past.
(Flashback Begins)
In a different area, a tear was floating slightly off the ground and Ryoki, who was wearing his usual attire with the addition of a shoulder bag and a young Daisuke, who was wearing a blue T-shirt and a pair of jeans with a backpack on her back came out of it before it closed behind them.
Daisuke looked at her surrounding in awe while Ryoki smiles down at the little girl.
"This place is beautiful, isn't Dais?" the man mused.
"It is, but what is this place?" Daisuke asks still looking around curiously.
"This is the Digital World, Dais. The shadows you keep seeing back at the Human World all come from here".
"Really?" she gasps in shock and awe as she looks up at the man.
"They do but they're only ghost of who they really are that accidentally entered our world" Ryoki said before looking at the surroundings in front of him.
"That sounds so sad" the younger brunet whimpered with a frown on her face.
"It does, doesn't it" he said with a hint of disappointment. "Dais, there's something I want to ask you" he suddenly said before crouching in front of the girl.
"What is it Ryoki?" she blinked, wondering what the request was about.
"Dais, this place, the Digital World, it's an amazing place and I want to keep it that way. So I'm asking you to promise me that when you're older, you'll protect this place from bad guys that will try to use it for evil".
"I will if you promise me that we do it together" Daisuke said as she raised her hand with her pinky out.
"It's a promise" Ryoki said, looping his pinky with the other's. "Now come, let get this camping trip started" he said as he holds the girl's hand before they leave the area.
(Flashback Ends)
Daisuke looks at her right hand as tears started to build in her eyes.
'You broke your promise Ryoki. We were supposed to do this together' she thought as a lone tear streams down her face and lands onto the palm of her hand.
Suddenly the sound of an explosion brought her out of her stupor and she went to investigate it further. When she arrive at the source, she saw a large green bug with scythes for hands, a giant purple and white mole and a man covered in snow white fur attacking Kari, TK, a wild haired brunet teenager with chocolate brown eyes wearing a green uniform and matching slacks and a group of smaller creatures.
The bug, Snimon, slashes the air, sending two purple waves of energy at the group which narrowly missed them but the debris from the blast hit Kari's ankle, causing her to not be able to avoid any incoming attacks.
A white cat with yellow paws and azure eyes try to hold back the attacking digimons but to no avail.
The abominable snowman, Myojimon, threw his ice spear at Kari and it would have hit her if not for a pair of pink laser had intercepted it.
The group looks up to see Yolie, who was wearing a orange helmet, a light brown vest over a light blue shirt, white gloves and a pair of red baggy pants flying to them riding a four legged creature with brown fur and blue eyes wearing a metal helmet with wings on the side and a symbol of a heart on it.
Out of nowhere, the ground started to shake and a yellow bug with drills for hands and nose and green eyes bursts out of the ground with a small brunet with green eyes wearing a brown shirt and a pair of dark brown pants following behind him.
The two digimons fought against the others just as two more people, an orange haired girl with crimson eyes wearing a green uniform and matching skirt and a red haired boy with black eyes wearing the same type of clothes as the other teenage boy came out of the forest with two more digimons.
Daisuke could not hear what the group was talking about and turned her attention towards the fight.
The yellow bug, Digmon, fired his drills at the mole, Drimogemon, but before they could do any damage, Snimon destroyed them with his energy wave attack.
The four legged creature, Halsemon, attacks Snimon to let off some pressure on Digmon but he was so caught up in the aerial battle, he did not manage to avoid getting hit by Myojimon's ice spear and he came crashing down onto the ground.
In a last ditched effort to hold back the attackers, Digmon drills into the ground, sending a hail of rocks and boulders that worked against Drimogemon and Myojimon but it left him defenseless against an aerial attack from Snimon.
Both digimons reverted to their Rookie forms, which were a small bird with red feathers and a yellow armadillo.
Noticing that the group was in danger, Daisuke runs out of her hiding spot and calls out "Why aren't your digimons fucking digivolving?!".
Everyone stopped from hearing the brunet and turns towards her just as she reaches the group.
"Dais? What are you doing in the Digital World?" the older brunet asks.
"I don't have time to explain, just digivolve your digimons and fight!" Daisuke exclaimed as she stands in front them.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my garden?" called out a voice from behind the attacking digimons.
Daisuke turns around to see the source of the voice and it was a spiky dark haired boy wearing a blue suit, a blue cape with golden outlines, black gloves and golden glasses with dark blue tinted lenses.
"Who's that?" the brunet asks no one in particular.
"That's the Digimon Emperor and he's the reason we can't digivolve" the white cat, Gatomon, explained.
"He's also enslaving digimons by using dark rings" an orange and white hamster with bat wings for ears added.
"What? You spineless creep!" Daisuke yelled at the Digimon Emperor while balling her fists.
"I don't have time for you Digi-Losers. Finish them!" the Digimon Emperor ordered before cracking his whip.
The three digimons move to attack the group, who were scared for their lives except for Daisuke, who looked pissed off.
She closed her eyes and claps her hands together before chanting "May the gods give me the strength to banish the darkness that controls the weak and bring them to the light!".
Daisuke's hands gave off a barely noticeable white glow before she charges at the digimons, shocking everyone.
"Dais, no!" Kari called out in terror but it was too late, the other brunet was already face-to-face with the enslaved creatures.
Myojimon was the first to attack with his ice spear but Daisuke easily summersaults out of the way before hitting him with a powerful uppercut.
The ice digimon stumbles back and accidentally dropped his ice spear, which Daisuke quickly picked up before destroying the dark ring with it.
Snimon dives down from above and tries to destroy Daisuke with a barrage of energy waves but all of them were easily dodged by her.
Furious, Snimon flied down to fight Daisuke at hand-to-hand combat but it was soon proven to be a bad idea as she ducks and jumps over each swing of his scythes while punching his head and torso.
"How can you not defeat her?! She's nothing!" the Digimon Emperor yelled in anger just as Daisuke manages to grab Snimon's dark ring and rips it off him.
Drimogemon charges at Daisuke, nose first to try and injure her using his drill but she quickly jumps up onto his back and punches his back, bringing him to a complete stop.
Knowing that her opponent was down for a while, Daisuke rips out the dark ring off his body and freeing him.
The Digimon Emperor knew he was defeated and quickly left to plan for his next attack.
Daisuke jumps off Drimogemon and walks up to the group, who were still shocked from what they saw.
"You should go back to the Human World. This place is very dangerous for young and inexperienced people like you" she said with a cold look in her eyes.
"Wait, what makes you thing that you can just go ordering us around like that!" Yolie exclaimed in anger with her hands on her hips.
This ticked Daisuke off and she grabs the older vest before bringing their faces so close to the point their noses touched.
"Listen here and listen well. You said it yourselves that the Digimon Emperor is blocking out digivolution and only two of all your digimon, who are very exhausted can digivolve. I don't have all the fucking time of both worlds to babysit you, so you better get your ass out of here and back to the Human World before I kick them back for you!" the brunet growled before throwing the other girl onto the floor.
Yolie was trembling in fear as she slowly gets up from the floor and the group leaves the area to head home while Daisuke went the other way.
Moments later, Daisuke found a nice quite area and picks up a stick on the ground before she started drawing the same circle as the one in her bedroom.
After the circle was made, she did the same ritual she did to get to the Digital World and a tear form in front of her before she walks inside to go home.
