Davis arrived back at the school computer lab and felt his whole world go black, he managed to pull a chair out and sat down with his eyes closed for a couple of
minutes. The images of the battle against his former friends, the loss of Veemon, the betrayal and the rage still fresh in his mind. He then noticed a chunk of wood
that was stuck inside his left side just above his waist; the wound was deep enough to leave a pool of blood where he sat. He walked out of the computer lab and
headed towards the infirmary, once there he used some tongs to pull out the piece of wood.
"AHHHHH, AHHHHHHHH! DAMMIT!"
The pain was excruciating but after what seemed like an eternity he managed to complete the difficult job, he looked around for some bandages and rubbing alcohol
but found none, tired of wasting his time he decided to head home and try to cure the wound himself. As he passed thru the hallways the students gave him shocked
looks and curious whispers were heard not only because of his physical condition but also because his wound was bleeding heavily while leaving a trail of blood
behind him.
"Look at Davis"
"What happened to him?"
"Where is the rest of his group?"
"Yeah he looks in bad condition"
Davis ignored the careless talking forming around him and continued to walk home while pressing on his wound. As he exited the building he noticed that the clouds
from before had brought with them a heavy rain that poured throughout the city, he sighed and admitted that it was ironic how the weather was had so much in
common with his soul, inside of him it was also raining, it was raining with the tears of his pain.
He sighed and walked thru the door of his apartment, he knew that the Motomiyas wouldn't be home until a couple of hours later so he had the opportunity to try and
fix himself up before they arrived. As he went inside he noticed his mistake, the floor was covered with blood, with his blood and he was making a complete mess of
the whole apartment. As he was about to go to his room and find some bandages he heard the loud bang that indicated that his foster family had come home early.
As he turned around he saw the face of Haruto Motomiya glaring daggers at him before he could say something in his defense the man started yelling at him;
"Boy, what are you doing? Look at this mess you've made, I bet you got that wound while doing some of those stupid soccer stunts that you usually pull".
"Dad wait, I was in the digi-
"I don't care if you were in Mars, GOD DAMMIT! ALL YOU DO IS CAUSE TROUBLE, first it was in school then with your digimon and now this, you're nothing more than
a nuisance to us, sometimes I wish we hadn't adopted you, you're a shame to this family kid now clean this up and go to your room before I lose my patience.
Davis felt his insides boil, his foster father was accusing him of so many things, his foster mother just stood there looking at him angrily thus taking Haruto's side,
Jun, well Jun was just standing there looking surprised not knowing what to do. Davis decided to counter the harsh words and yelled;
"I DON'T CARE! SINCE I CAME HERE YOU, THAT WOMEN AND THAT GIRL HAVE TREATED ME LIKE SHIT! YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME, YOU NEVER HAVE, ALL YOU
WANTED WAS THE CHECK THAT CAME WITH MY ADOPTION"
He couldn't continue his speech because his face was met with Haruto's fist that collided against him and knocked him to the ground, he landed close to a mirror and
saw that his side wound was still bleeding and to make matters worse his mouth was now bleeding and he was coughing up blood. Haruto towered over him and
looked at him menacingly while he said;
"That should teach you not to talk back to your elders"
"Oh my God, honey I think you went too far this time" said Junko Motomiya
"Nahh, he should learn to be grateful to us, if it wasn't for us he would still be rotting in that orphanage"
Davis managed to get to his feet and walked towards his father and stared right into his eyes, the destined's pupils were now flashing between purple and black
which gave the illusion that he was possessed making him look frightening and threatening.
"Listen to me and listen well old man, I'm tired of your shit, not only do you humiliate and abuse me but you also have the nerve to blame me for everything that
happens, I'm done with it"
"So what are you saying that you will leave, please boy, you have nowhere to go, you're all alone and you know that you can't do anything" answered Haruto
"Who says I need help I'll do it by myself trust me I'll find a way just watch me"
Izumi Household: Chosen Children
All the children minus Ken who had left right after the fight sat around in Izzi's room discussing what had gone down earlier, Ken and Cody were present but
remained quiet and distant of the rest of the group, Wormmon was sitting by the window silently crying because of the death of his best friend Veemon. Kari had
managed to compose herself and join the discussion; however she still felt the guilt consuming her and was currently being hugged by T.K. who looked stressed with
the whole situation. Joe was the first one to open dialogue;
"What do you think we should do now?"
"Beats me, I'm out of ideas and frankly I don't think anything can clean up the mess were in" said Matt
"We'll have to talk to Davis about it, we have to prevent the darkness from taking over him" said Tai
"I see your point, but, what if he lashes out on us? Well need to be prepared just in case" said Mimi
"YOU GUYS SUCK!" said Cody; "Not only do you kill his partner but now you're trying to talk to him and expect him to be calm about it, WOW, you sure did not think this thru"
Everyone was left paralyzed by the younger boy's outburst; he was always so calm and composed that it was almost unbelievable to think that he would say things
like that. The meeting continued for a couple of more hours, in the end the children decided to talk to Davis and find out if there was a way to bring Veemon back.
Motomiya Household
Davis grabbed a backpack and put all his belongings in it, a couple of shirts and two jeans were all he packed, he then slided under the bed and pulled out a small
music box. Slowly opening it he looked at the things it contained, a locket that was giving to him by his mother Elene, a ring with a black diamond that belonged to
his father Filip and finally two pictures one of him and his parents and the other of him and Kari when they were younger. He felt nostalgic at the moment and
suppressed the urge to cry, as the closed the music box and put it inside his backpack; he grabbed his cellphone and dialed the number of a friend from the past;
"Hello, Pierce residence, this is Willis speaking"
"Hi! Willis, its Davis"
"Davis, what a surprise, it's been a while since you've come to visit"
"I know but it's been real hard for me right now, I'm sorry to bother you but I need a favor"
"I'm here for you buddy, what do you need?"
"Well, I need to see you in person first because it's kind of a long story"
"Sure, my computer has a digiport so all you need is Izzi's port"
"I can't look for Izzi right now but I can use the school's right?"
"Yeah that could work too. When are you coming?"
"In about one hour, I still have some things to take care of"
"Ok, then I'll see you then, ill order pizza for dinner"
"Alright Willis, thank you"
"No problem"
Davis exited his room and headed towards the kitchen were the Motomiya family was having dinner, he glanced at the table and there sat the man who had
humiliated him so many times;
"So look who decided to come out, leaving so soon"
"Oh, shut up, I'm gone if that's what you're saying I just came to bid you one last goodbye before I leave"
"Davis, maybe you should reconsider, you have nowhere to go" said Junko
"I already told you I'll find a way, trust me on this one"
"Leave him honey, if the brat wants to leave then let him leave, just don't come crying back to us when you realize that you screwed up" said Haruto
"BITE ME! Old man I will never you hear me never come back here, I'd rather die than have to suffer being humiliated again, goodbye"
And with that Davis left the apartment that had been his home for almost 3 years, the rain still poured in the streets and he headed towards Tamachi, he had
received a message from Ken before he had left the Motomiya household saying that he would be at his home in case he wanted to talk about the incident that had
happened earlier. As he gaze at the entrance of the household he knocked and saw his friend open the door;
"Davis, I thought you wouldn't come, how are you feeling?" asked Ken with concern in his voice
"Been better it's all so crazy now but hey do you have any bandages and rubbing alcohol? My wound is still open and I would like to close it up before I leave"
"Leave? Where are you going?"
"I can't tell you exactly because even I don't know exactly, all I can say is that you have to trust me and that I'll keep in touch"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Positive, however I would like for you to not mention this to anyone besides Cody for obvious reasons"
"Yes, I understand"
After stitching up his wound Davis opened his music box and pulled out the locket and ring that he got from his parents, Ken looked curiously at the destined of
miracles as he handed them over to him;
"Ken, these are the most valuable possessions that I have, they belong to my birth parents and represent all that I have lost and all that I have gained, I will like you
to wear them for now"
"I will wear them forever my friend don't worry I will cherish them deeply just like I cherish our friendship" answered Ken
Davis got up from the seat and walked towards the door giving Ken one last look he said;
"Wear them for me Ken, but someday I will come back to claim them, that is a promise, well see each other again"
And with that he left, the rain made the mood even more depressing than it already was, as he approached the school computer lab he took a final look at the
homeroom, he remembered the times when he and Veemon almost got caught by the principal for breaking a window, the time he asked Kari out only to be turned
down, the time he played soccer with Ken and Tai. All those memories haunted him while a single tear fell down his face, he went to the last computer on the last row
and typed up the coordinates for Colorado, and with one last glance at the past he said
"Digi-port Open"
So Davis is gone but he promised Ken that he would come back for his necklace and ring, will he keep his promise? What will the destined think when they find out he
left? Will Davis ever find out the truth behind the death of his parents? And why is he going to Colorado?
