CHOCOLATE

Chapter 5 - Daisuke: Denial Before Dawn

The day was finally here. It was me against him in our game. The only thing I hoped for was that he still remembered me after all these years. When I arrived on the field with my team all the digidestined were there to cheer me on. The game started great, yet he wasn't there. I was getting worried and lost concentration. When I inquired one of his teammated about his absence he replied that Ichijouji was probably at a commercial shoot.

Miyako was getting frantic witht the "love of her life" not being there. I couldn't really explain why then, but I was extremely jealous. She was going to keep her hands off him even if I had to go as far as cut them off myself. These strange feelings were taking over my mind. I turned away from the stands to try and concentrate on the game I had to play.

As I finished off the last drop of water in my paper cup, the crowd grew suddenly louder. I know it was him. I was completely petrified and my legs failed to function. Twisting my neck around to peer at him took every ounce of strength I had in me. So that's what that scrawny, blue-haired nerd grew up to look like.Sure, I saw him on TV but this was in real life. Once, I had been the popular one but now... Well, everybody knows who Ichijoujii Ken is. The soccer prodigy, the boy genius, the boy I used to play with.

The game had ended, we had lost. I had gotten home, showered, ate, and slipped into bed. The only words I could think of were, "A worthy advesary." There was no shared memories of a perfect friendship or any words at all the signified tat he had remembered me at all. After that night, when I heard his name mentioned all I could do was mutter out, "Bastard," or at least think it.

Not much really changed after that in my regular, every day life. Kinda. I just stopped tormenting Hikari about 'liking her.' Oh gag me. But how I loved to get under her skin. Takeru's too. I won't forgive him, and he can't figure out why. Idiot.

When I sat in class, I wondered where he was and how much harder his school work was. At lunch, I couldn't get my mind off of the possibilities of his lunch. I was detaching myself from reality and I had no clue what I was doing wither. All I cared to even think about was him.. and how much of a bastard he was. Then, I realized, I had never said anything either. Maybe he was calling me a bastard at this very same point in time.

That was when people started noticing changes in their once spunky friend. I had grown sullen and hateful of myself. I was definatly NOT my normal self at that point in my life.

Oh, but thats the least of it you see. You cannot know what it is like to have a bestfriend, lose him, find him again only to find out that he is your sworn enemy. Dammit Ken. Why you? Why the Kaizer? I got so angry at that. I needed to do something about it all. No one actually knows why I am taking this so hard. Maybe if they'd remember something for once in their life, they'd know.

I found him that night alone in the digital world. I was also alone. Something urged me to go, and leave V-mon behind. I walked around for a while, and when I did find him I just walked up to him casually with a slight smirk on my face. Pulling a foil wrapped chocolate out of my bag, walked up from behind bent over him and set the candy in his lap. He jumped. He hadn't even realized I was there. Then, I turned and walked back the way I came from.

"Remember the chocolate, Ken? Do you still remember that I was the only one who would be your friend even though we both got tormented by it?"

I yell over my shoulder. I saw him stand up quickly out of the corner of my eye. He reaches his hand out toward me. Then he lowers his head.

"I remember everything, Dai-chan."

I continue walking away while a tear escaped from my eye and fell down my cheek. Heaven knows why I went that night. I was alone. He might not have bee. And hell, after all, he was the fucking Digimon Kaizer. He could have captured me. What would I have done then?

After arriving home, I couldn't take these thoughts anymore. I buried my face in my pillow and cried. I let all my pain and anger loose and just bawled. I can't remember anything else, like when I fell alseep.

When I woke up the weekend was finally here so I didn't have to worry about those annoying people at school, also known as friends. I stretched under my covers and thats when Chibimon awoke. I got us both food. Then later in the shower, I contemplated what I was going to do all day by myself. I sighed and relaxed. Nothing.

Ok.. it took me long enough, sorry. I honestly didn't mean to leave everyone waiting like that. I just got caught up in all my other 60 million fics I am writing. Schools starting soon, meaning I will be writing more since I have to do something to shut out the teachers. ^^;; New chapter is already being wrote. Expect it in maybe a week... *dissapears in a burst of pink smoke* POOF!
