"Returning to Normal"

Here is the last chapter. After this, I will be making another part of this series focused on Yukina getting kidnapped. For now, please enjoy and review!

When Dai had made it to her new friends' home town, she sensed for their energy and found that Hiei was flitting around randomly until he caught her scent and followed her to see if she was healed properly.

He watched her carefully as she ran off to the Kuwabara home, finding it by sensing for him and Yusuke, going inside to see that the orangette and fox demon were both fine while Yusuke was still resting.

Dai had insisted on having her doctor check him to fix their injuries and they all agreed to it since she wouldn't shut up until they did so.

At the Kuwabara home, the doorbell was rung and so Dai ran down to answer the door.

"Jyou!" she said, but was surprised to see Botan and another girl with short brown hair and matching eyes was standing there.

It was the girl that Yusuke had fought hard to save from the people infected by the Makai insects.

"Botan? What are you doing here?" Dai asked.

"We came to check up on Yusuke. Is he all right?" the Reaper asked.

"He should be. He's sleeping right now, but my doctor is coming over to check on him." Dai said.

"You use your doctor's first name?" the brunette asked.

"Oh, sorry. My name is Keiko Yukimura." She said.

"Daisuke Motomiya. Nice to meet cha." She smiled at her.

Keiko was surprised to see that the aura around this girl was making her feel more at ease and relaxed.

"Well, we'll go on up to see him. When your doctor comes, send him right up." Botan said.

With that, the two taller girls went upstairs while Dai closed the door with a sigh.

She hoped that Keiko girl was fine after being chased by those Makai zombies.

Suddenly, she sensed a familiar aura that made her smile as she opened the door to see a blue haired male with obsidian eyes behind oval shaped glasses.

He was dressed in a green button down shirt, cream pants and brown dress shoes with a medical bag slung over his shoulder.

"Jyou!" she called running over to him.

Jyou Kido was surprised that she had knew he was there, but smiled at her.

"So what happened that you needed me to come all the way out here?" he asked.

"Come on." Dai said taking his free hand and pulled him inside.

They ran upstairs to see that Yusuke was wide wake, everyone in the room turning to see Dai walk inside with the college student.

"Guys, this is Jyou Kido. He's an old friend of mine and my doctor." She introduced.

"Doctor?! That guy looks way too young to be a doctor!" Kuwabara exclaimed.

"You want him to work on us?!" Yusuke followed that disbelief.

Dai glared at them, her kitty ears and tail coming up looking all frizzed up like a cat that was yowling in anger at someone.

"For your information, Jyou is a great doctor. He's done all of my check-ups and given me all of my shots." She stated defensively.

Jyou shook his head in amusement as he opened up his bag and pulled out some bandages, cloth and disinfectant.

Not only that, but he had needles and thread for patching up scars along with a syringe and small glass bottle of morphine.

"Where the hell did you get this stuff?" Yusuke asked in shock.

"My dad's a doctor. My older brother and I have been training hard for years to become doctors ourselves, but Shu's more interested in traveling and dating a certain someone's older sister." Jyou said with a smile at Dai who giggled.

Kurama, Kuwabara, Yusuke, Keiko and Botan looked at them in confusion.

"Jyou's brother is dating my sister. Since Jyou's my friend and Shu dropped me off at home once, Jun met him that way and soon after they started dating." Dai explained.

Everyone nodded in understanding as Jyou got to work cleaning Yusuke's wounds, checking to see if he would need to do any stitching.

Botan looked to be gushing at the romance between Jyou and Dai's older siblings.

"Um, Daisuke. Why don't you go to Jyou's father for help? Why choose Jyou?" Keiko asked.

The child of Honesty looked back at the child of Miracles with a smile before he went back to work.

"She doesn't trust any of the doctors or dentists even. She always worked on keeping healthy and making sure her teeth were clean and had no cavities so she wouldn't have to go see them." He answered.

He remembered what happened once when she caught the flu and her mother tried to bring her to the hospital.

Yamato and Taichi tried to carry her there, but she grabbed onto the door frame of her room and hung on for dear life as the child of Courage and Friendship tried to pull her off.

Needless to say, the doorframe needed to be replaced.

"So you're scared of needles?" Kurama asked Dai.

"No, of course not. If I was scared of needles, then I wouldn't let Jyou near me with a syringe or even patch up a scar I got. It took 30 stitches." Dai said as she rubbed her back where that demon from those six months ago slashed her with his talons.

"She just has trust issues." Jyou said.

He finished with Yusuke and then moved on to Kuwabara to make sure his wounds weren't infected.

Later on, Jyou walked with Dai back to the train station, the witch smiling as she sensed Hiei watching after her.

He left after the two Digidestinds were on the train, Jyou asking about Dai's new friends and she told him everything that had gone on.

He was surprised with the news of demons, zombies and her being a witch, but stranger things had happened to them like fighting digimon that tried to destroy the world, take over the internet to release missiles to destroy Japan and America, so he believed her.

When they got back to Odaiba, the duo walked off down the street to go back to the apartment complex where the Motomiyas, Takanouchis and Yagamis lived.

"You know, I think you should tell the others about what happened." The child of Honesty said.

"Are you nuts?! It's bad enough that I told you, but telling the others will put them in danger. Knowing them is dangerous enough, but if they actually knew what was going on? There are demons all over the place. Normal humans can't see through their disguises like I can." Dai said as her protective streak for her friends grew.

"At least tell Ken. He is your best friend and Jogress partner. Tell him about this." Jyou offered.

The child of Miracles sighed at this knowing that she should tell her friends since they had all been through hell and back, but these demons were even more brutal than the Dark Masters, Vamdemon, Diablomon and all the other evils they had faced.

Not only that, but Dai was the one with powers so she could protect herself, but the others couldn't fight.

Well, Iori knew kendo and Taichi was really fast due to all his years of soccer, not to mention he and Yamato could punch and kick really hard with all of the fist fights they had been in, but other than that, Dai would need to constantly be there to protect them.

Her training would need to be stepped up all right.

"I'm gonna need to work harder." She said with her right hand on her cheek while she held her elbow of that arm with her left hand.

She then tensed up when she felt three auras she knew well and she sighed in misery as she knew the tongue lashing she would get from a certain child of Love and Purity.

"Work hard on what?" a female voice asked making Jyou jump in surprise since he hadn't heard her approach.

Turning, Jyou and Dai were met with the worried faces of Takeru and Hikari while Miyako looked pissed off with her hands on her hips.

"On an excuse for where you've been for the last ten days?" she asked.

The child of Courage, Friendship and Miracles groaned as she knew how much trouble she was in.

"We heard about the riots that were going on and got worried." Hikari said.

"We thought that maybe you got caught up in one and got hurt." Takeru said.

"OK, guys. Cool it. I have a reason for why I've been gone." Dai said holding her hands up defensively.

"Really? Enlighten us." Miyako said.

Biting her lip, Dai looked up at Jyou, who nodded his head.

She would have to tell them.

(Later on…)

A meeting of the Digidestinds was called that night at the park, everyone showing up while Mimi Tachikawa was on Skye on Koushirou's laptop to hear what was going on.

Ken had even made it from Tamachi, but he would pretty much cross the ocean for his best friend if she asked him to.

She had saved him from the darkness that had been tainting him for four years, offered him her friendship when everyone else was still distrustful of him for the terrible things he had done and helped him get over his depression and stopped him from almost committing suicide.

He owed her a lot.

When Dai had finished her story on what she had been doing, the entire group of ten stared at her in shock while Jyou stood at her side unaffected since he had already been told.

"You're a real witch?" Sora Takanouchi asked.

"There's no way that that's possible." Yamato Ishida said shaking his head, blonde hair following.

"Actually, with everything we have been through, it seems very possible." Iori Hida said with thoughtful green eyes.

"Believe it or not, everything I told you is true." Dai said.

"Then prove it." Miyako challenged.

The mahogany haired girl shrugged as she then levitated off of the ground and the other ten teenagers and the laptop with Mimi's face looking through the screen in wonder, soon followed her, some even yelping in shock or flailing their arms around in Taichi's case.

Thankfully it was night time and not too many people would be out to witness this.

"Do you believe me now?" Dai asked in amusement.

"Yes." Koushirou said as he looked around in awe as he realized that this wasn't a trick.

Soon they were all back on their feet, Miyako brushing her long lavender hair back in stunned awe.

"So you really are a witch. How cool! Do you have to wear one of those witches' hats? I bet you would look so cute in one." Mimi gushed.

That was the child of Purity for you and everyone loved her just the way she was.

"Oh, come on. I bet that whole hat, black dress, cauldrons and riding broomsticks thing is just a stereotype." Takeru said waving his hand in a dismissive manor.

"Actually, Grams told me that on All Hallows Eve or Halloween, witches can draw from the power of it to be able to become stronger. Riding broomsticks is actually possible. And as for the hat, it's supposed to help center the balance of your powers. And witches in the olden days wore black cloaks over their regular clothing to sneak out at night to hide from hunters so that they could gather herbs and cast protection wards." Dai explained.

Hikari and Sora giggled softly as Takeru slumped forward in disbelief.

"So the pilgrims all used the ancient traditions of witches as horror stories simply because they didn't understand them?" Ken asked with a smile.

"It makes sense. When faced with something you don't fully understand, people often jump to conclusions that it may be dangerous and they feel that isolating this thing or person would benefit them." Koushirou said.

"Yeah, that or burn them at the stake." Taichi said.

Yamato whacked him hard on the back for saying that.

"Actually, during the Salem Witch Trials, being burned at a stake wasn't the only way they suffered." Koushirou said.

"Many men and women were accused of being witches, but no one knew if they were or not." The redhead said.

"They weren't." Dai said sadly gaining everyone's attention.

"They were normal humans. A witch would never have been caught. They used their powers to hide their spell books and potions, working on blending into the crowds so they would be safe. After the trials were done, they all fled Salem and went to different places to escape the trials. Sadly, they started up in different countries all over the world." She said.

"Innocent men and women were accused and killed?" Sora asked sadly.

"They were stoned, drowned and beaten in many different ways to make them confess to being a witch. Most people turned against each other so that they could gain property in those times. The people took advantage of the witch hunts. They were consumed by their greed." Ken said.

After all, he had read 'The Crucifix' in school and seen the movie so that they could learn about what had happened in those times.

"How were people even accused of witchcraft?" Hikari asked.

"For being different." Jyou said.

"Yes, simply not being religious would make people assume you're a witch." Koushirou said.

"That's so stupid though." Taichi said with his fist clenched.

He didn't like hearing about this stuff.

Then he looked over at Dai, his hazel eyes filled with worry as he saw how down she looked hearing about all of this.

The history lessons her grandmother gave her were all filled with pain and death for many innocents who were caught up in a torrent of greed and suffered for other people's amusement or those who wanted to have a feeling of heroism by killing the pawn of the devil.

If there were any witch hunters now a days, then he would make sure to keep Dai safe from them.

Looking over to Yamato, azure eyes met hazel and the two boys nodded as they knew they both agreed with each other on protecting Dai.

"It's getting late. We should get moving now." Iori said as he looked at his watch.

The group all nodded as they started heading off for their own homes, Ken deciding to spend the night at the Motomiyas.

His parents already knew he would, so they didn't need to be called to know about it.

"I'm happy that you're alive." The child of Kindness said suddenly making her look at him.

"Huh?" she asked.

"Well, the battle with those demons. I'm happy your survived it and had some new friends looking out for you. But I would feel better if you didn't go out helping them until you're strong enough to fight on your own." Ken said.

Dai giggled as she hugged her best friend, making him blush a bit at the contact.

He would even blush when his mother hugged him.

"I promise I won't go demon hunting until I can kill them without almost dying myself." She swore.

With that being said, the two walked off to the apartment to talk and spend some much needed time together that they had skipped out on due to studies and saving the world.

The end.
