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 curled himself into his master's embrace, sated and content and absolutely happy beyond any memory of the term before. Everything he'd thought made him happy in the time before – before his master, before he'd learned what his purpose in life was – didn't seem to make that much of a difference anymore. If his master wanted him to enjoy the sunlight or the sound of a storm on the roof or playing soccer, then he would arrange matters so Daisuke experienced those things.

Well, the soccer was kind of optional, unless Kaiser wanted to play against him. The idea of being around other people, people who didn't understand, who would try to take him away from his master… Daisuke hated that, and curled tighter into the Kaiser's arms to get away from the thought.

"Pet?" Kaiser murmured, once again running his hands through Daisuke's hair. "Are you all right?"

"Yes, master," Daisuke replied right away. "I just had a thought I don't like." He couldn't entirely comprehend not telling his master what was on his mind, though he kind of thought his master would already know. After all, Kaiser could and did do as he pleased with Daisuke's mind, and had since that first glorious moment of eye contact all those months ago.

"Really? Tell me about it."

To Daisuke, no sweeter words could've been said. Kaiser could read his mind but trusted Daisuke to tell him the truth. And more, he wanted to hear Daisuke speak. He thought Daisuke's existence mattered. Daisuke couldn't remember anyone else who'd done that.

He quickly spilled everything, arching against the Kaiser's hands as they roamed more over him, his voice stuttering whenever they touched intimate territory. That was something else that no one but Kaiser wanted of him, and Daisuke enjoyed their time together more than he could find words to express. Only Kaiser for him, for now and forever.

"I've promised you this before, and I want you to believe me," Kaiser said as he tilted Daisuke's head up so their eyes met. Daisuke knew the feel of his master's mind by now, and he could tell Kaiser wasn't using his powers now. This was honest truth. "No one will ever take you from me. You belong to me. You want to belong to me, don't you?"

"Of course, master!" He would've wanted that no matter what. He and Kaiser were meant to be together. He could feel that in every part of himself.

"Good pet," Kaiser praised. Daisuke loved the sight of the smile that appeared a heartbeat later . "I don't have time for soccer now, but when the Chosen fools are all defeated and this world lies under my control, I promise you that we will have time together that no one can interrupt, to do whatever we wish with."

Daisuke did not actually squeal, but the way that he snuggled up said it all. Then another question occurred. "Master? What are you going to do with the Chosen?"
