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. Mentioned slavery.
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.

Kaiser hadn't expected such a question out of his pet. He wasn't precisely displeased, but Daisuke wasn't supposed to think too many thoughts that weren't focused on his master.

At least he's not thinking about actually leaving me. He was more than satisfied with Daisuke's level of loyalty. And it was a good question, one that he hadn't considered often lately, since he'd been more focused on Daisuke's taming and being certain the Chosen knew that it wasn't going to change.

But now that he'd taken care of that, he knew he should make some plans for that. He'd found Daisuke useful in the beginning because of his ability to Armor Evolve, and as he'd gotten to know him, Daisuke's delicious taste and his usefulness as a spy contributed to what he'd chosen to do with him.

Plus, he...well… he liked Daisuke. He thought that he might have even if they were different. If, somehow, they could be on the same side, but that was a different side. If he weren't the Kaiser and Daisuke wasn't his pet, they could be...could still be…

Kaiser mentally shook that off and refocused his thoughts. He didn't have time to worry about foolishness that could never be.

"I haven't decided yet," he said, answering his pet's question. "I suppose I could keep one or two of them around to feed from." Taking Daisuke's blood on a regular basis would mean that he would need to feed Daisuke regularly and make certain he got enough rest to make up for what he took. Which wasn't such a bad idea; he did want to take care of what was his. But with more people to feed from, then he could indulge other passions with Daisuke and not worry about wearing him out.

Daisuke nodded and Kaiser petted him soothingly. "Perhaps we could investigate to see if my Rings and Spirals will work on humans. Some of them could be useful like that," Kaiser mused. Daisuke nodded again, a small smile flickering over his lips.

"What about..." His smile faded as he struggled, then returned in a flash. "The blond one? The one with the… Pegasumon?"

Takaishi Takeru. Kaiser hadn't failed to notice the way he looked at his pet now and then. It hadn't ever reached a point where he truly thought Takaishi wanted to do anything that he disapproved of to his pet. But if they'd had more time together…

"I think you might have a good idea there," Kaiser approved. "He could be very useful around the fortress as well." His eyes flickered for a few seconds in amusement. "What do you think of him scrubbing the floors and washing dishes? Laundry?"

Daisuke laughed, snuggling his head against Kaiser's touch in perfect trust. "I think that would be wonderful, master."

Kaiser chuckled as well. "Then that's what will be. And we can find other uses for the others. They'll all be our slaves. Would you like that?"

"I like whatever you like, master."
