Notes: In the setting of this story, these are the differing points: the Chosen are roughly five years older than in canon, meaning that Ken, Daisuke, Takeru, & Hikari are sixteen, while Miyako is seventeen, and Iori is fourteen. There are some other differences, but those will be revealed during the course of the story. Except for this: this story will involve vampires. It begins in episode 2, once Daisuke's been captured.
Summary: On his second trip to the Digital World, Daisuke is captured by the Kaiser. Time to learn a little about the guy he's just started fighting. Like the fact he has sharp, pointy teeth and a thirst for more than conquest.

Daisuke settled himself on his bed, arms folded underneath his head. Chibimon hadn't moved from when he'd left, but he seldom did when Daisuke went to report to his master.

I guess Master did something so he wouldn't. He wasn't entirely sure of what Chibimon knew about his different loyalties. He wouldn't ask Chibimon just in case the little guy didn't know and he wouldn't ask his master because that wasn't his place.

But as long as everything worked out, it didn't matter. Even when Master decided games with the Chosen ended, then he and Chibimon would still be safe. Master promised him that much, as long as he remained obedient and loyal.

Daisuke couldn't even comprehend not doing as Master told him to do. Obedience caused no problems, especially since when he was around the other Chosen, it was almost like Master wasn't his Master. He could say and do things just as if he wasn't his Master's pet.

But whenever he wasn't with them, he knew who he belonged to, and he couldn't have been happier about it.

Thoughts of his Master drifted through his mind. He'd never seen the Kaiser's full face, but he didn't need to in order to know who he served. What he could see, he knew was amazingly beautiful, with wonderful eyes and a sharp smile, and such kind, gentle, firm hands.

His heart thudded at the memory of his Master's touch. He'd only kissed a couple of people in his life, enough so he had a rough idea of how it was done, but now thoughts of what it would be like to have his Master's lips on him would be – and not when the Master fed – gathered in the depths of his mind and waited for when he had nothing else to think about to fill his imagination.

Could that happen? Would that happen? His dear, wonderful, amazing Master, who ruled him so completely, made him feel safe and secure and wanted and treasured, who gave him a role to perform, could want him as other than a spy and a food source?

Daisuke wasn't certain if it were possible, but more and more he thought that he wanted it to be. To see those wonderful eyes looking at him, feel those strong hands on him, rich lips touching all over his body…

"Daisuke, are you done with the shower? I need it." Jun tapped on the door as she talked, peering inside. He stared back at her. "Well?"

He waved a hand. "Go ahead." He'd taken his bath before going to report, knowing that she'd want it. Now the two thoughts mixed, bathing and Master, and he bit off a groan as he looked away from the door.

Jun blinked, then shook her head. "I don't want to know what you're thinking about. Good night." She shut the door before he could say anything else. But that was all right. He had far more to think than say right now.

To Be Continued

Notes: Daisuke's getting some thoughts that I'm sure at least some of you want him to have. The time is coming...
