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.
Notes: Implied nudity. Tamed Daisuke. Referred to sensory deprivation.
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.
No sooner did Daisuke get out of the control room than Kaiser flicked a few keys and one of the monitors blanked out, then resolved itself to show Daisuke hurrying in Wormmon's wake. Kaiser admired the view for a few moments – he saw no reason for Daisuke to bother with clothes around home, anyway – then returned to his work. He trusted Daisuke to behave himself, but he did not trust V-mon at all. He'd refrained from putting a Ring or Spiral on him – those Spirals were such fun and he still somewhat wondered about testing one of them on one of the Chosen's partners – mostly because he wasn't sure of how such an act would resonate with Daisuke.
The Chosen and their partners remained linked on some level no matter what, and he didn't want to start anything that would lead to losing his favorite pet.
Which was another point in favor of testing Spirals out on a partner of theirs. He could see the reactions that came from that, and determine if it were worth the effort to try on V-mon. Until he'd done that, though, V-mon knew better than to try anything too desperate. Keeping Daisuke under his thumb meant that V-mon would behave.
Besides, he was useful doing minor housework around the fortress, with Wormmon to oversee him. He made a point to watch their interactions when he had time, and it amused him to think the two were 'bonding'. Any sort of emotional tie gave him another leash to use.
He paid more attention to his work for a while, noting absently the reunion between his pet and V-mon. V-mon knew something of what Daisuke did now, but seeing him like this, so clearly tamed and properly subservient to his master, had to be a shock. Kaiser made a mental note to watch the whole thing in full detail when he had nothing else to do with his time.
For now, he wanted to get this video ready for the Chosen, to show them exactly what he'd done to Daisuke, how much his pet thoroughly loved it – or had once he finally submitted – and how little chance they stood of ever taking his pet away from him.
Perhaps, he considered, he could show this to V-mon, too. It would crush what little spirit that seeing his partner again could bring up in the little Digimon, and Kaiser approved of that.
He saved his finished work and took another glance to see what Daisuke and V-mon were up to. One eyebrow crept faintly upward as he saw V-mon waving his paws and trying to tug Daisuke somewhere.
Where does he think they could go? None of the doors will let them out, even if they could get by my guards.
But V-mon might well not know that, since he'd never seen fit to tell him. Wormmon might have, but the point remained that they couldn't get out without Kaiser knowing.
So what was V-mon trying to do?
