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 thought he was alone. But he always thought that he was alone now. Aside from the blindfold preventing him from seeing if anyone else was in the room, he couldn't tell if Kaiser had left or not. He was too quiet. Daisuke didn't know if that was because of being a vampire or not, but it remained the same. He never knew when Kaiser was there unless he touched him.
Almost as soon as he thought that, Kaiser's gloved fingers traced a line down his cheek. So he hadn't left yet.
"Let me tell you, pet, that you're very beautiful. You're going to make a wonderful consort for me."
Daisuke's lips worked, but he couldn't make a word out before Kaiser rested a finger on his lips, warning him to silence.
"I want you to remember: I may not control your mind now, but I still own you. You will be what I want of you. You should consider yourself honored that I'm working so hard to train you instead of taking your mind again. You'll join me because you know I'm right, not because you don't have a choice."
But he didn't have a choice! Daisuke ached to shout that, but Kaiser's finger remained there, and he could remember that first day, before he'd been brought into this room of dark silence, when he'd tried to attack Kaiser.
It hadn't gone well. At all.
Kaiser seized him by the throat and raised him off the floor with as much ease as if he'd been a Baby Digimon. He slammed Daisuke against the wall and stared down at him with flaming eyes.
"Never, ever think you can attack me or hurt me, Daisuke. You can't. I won't allow it. You can do me no harm anyway but that is not your place. You belong to me and you will do as you are told: and if you won't, then I'll teach you to obey."
Daisuke struggled as hard as he could, but Kaiser slammed him against the wall even harder, until he couldn't move, his shoulders and back aching and bruised.
"I think you need a time out."
Kaiser brought him into this cell, chained him to the wall by wrists and ankles, fitted the blindfold over his eyes, and left him there.
Daisuke wondered at times why he hadn't been gagged. That would've fit with everything else. But he figured it out soon enough.
It didn't matter how much he yelled or shouted or screamed in frustration. Nothing happened. He wasn't answered. As far as he could tell, no one even came to see if he needed anything. He couldn't see if they did.
Now Kaiser rested his lips against Daisuke's. It wasn't a kiss, at least not by Daisuke's standards. He'd had kisses before. This wasn't it. He could even feel Kaiser's fangs and he shuddered.
Kaiser smiled. He could feel that, too. One hand rested on Daisuke's shoulder, and Kaiser's favorite word ghosted between them.
"Mine."
