Zypher: I'm sorry for having you all wait for updates but I lost my internet connection to my home computer so I'm using my sister's for now. I might be uploading some new stories for a while until I can go somewhere and upload my files. But anyways, I hope you enjoy Digital Life.

Prologue: In Domino City, there was a new game that was quickly spreading around the city. Digimon or digital monsters there were brought to life. Yugi was quickly interested but was shy to start raising his own. He heard about some new breeders coming into town to try out the game themselves and when he saw them, as the old saying goes, love at first sight. But will he be able to make a good first impression in front of them, much less raise a good Digimon that will catch their attention?

Disclaimer: Do not own Yu-gi-oh or Digimon (that includes the games since I will be using reference from Digimon World's 1 and 2) so no sue. All I own is my rookie digimon Retamon (dark form of Renamon) and mega digimon Bastetmon (you shall find out as the story progresses).

Yugi sat in his room, a small digi-egg in hand as he watched it. It was supposed to hatch soon since he gotten it when the new game first came out two weeks ago. Everyone has been hooked on the game as soon as it was announced and became a big hit in the city as well as the rest of Japan. He was quite shy about taking care of his own but his friends were doing so as well so he believed he could do the same. 'But with all the battles that will be happening as well, I don't know if that will work out with me.' Yugi felt the egg starting to hatch and looked down to see the small baby Digimon in his hand. He smiled at how cute he looked. His grandfather walked in a little while later and smiled. "I see you got yourself a Punimon, good choice for a starter. Raise him well Yugi." Sugoroku spoke and left the room once more. The little digimon cooed in Yugi's arms and he smiled as he pat the little digimon's head.

"Well, we should get you something to eat, I may not want to battle others but I would like to see what you will become." Yugi whispered as he got up and walked out the room.

Not far away on a private jet, another teen that strangely looks like Yugi sat with his friends. "So, why exactly are we going to Japan, Yami?" A white-haired teen questioned, looking to the tri-colored hair teen. "There's a new game that has hit big time there. You know my love for games, I want to see about it and try it out." The teen known as Yami answered. "Bakura's right for once. It's just like you to always drag us to try out a new game you never heard about." Another teen grumbled, taller than the others with chocolate brown hair and azure eyes. "Shut it, Seto. You know that he always like to have his fun. Hopefully the girls don't chase him around again. I had enough with flying my ass off for him." Another added, looking to Yami with a mock glare. "I said I was going to pay you back for all those times, Aqua. Don't worry." Yami replied, waving a hand. "Fine but I will make sure you keep that promise."

"Sheesh, Yami. You still have problems with the ladies after all this time?" A tanned male asked. "Yes, Marik. I still have problem with the ladies but I don't pay attention to them." Yami said. 'Hopefully, I'll find someone that suits me in Domino city.' He thought afterwards.

A while later, the small digimon digivolved into a Tsunomon. Yugi let the little digimon sleep when he got tired and went to greet his friends who arrived a little while later. "Hey, Yugi." Diamond said as she, Jou, Ryou, Malik, Kaiser and Topaz came inside. In Diamond's arms, she held a small yellow fox digimon named Viximon. Malik held a small red digimon, known as Gigimon. By Ryou's side, a small shell-like digimon known as Syakomon sat, shell closed but the eyes appearing through the holes in the top of the shell. Jou had a Gizamon himself and Kaiser with a Crabmon. Finally was Topaz and he owned an Agumon. "So, Yugi, I see you've finally gotten yourself a digimon. That's great!" Diamond said happily and Viximon hopped out of her arms and ran over to Yugi. Yugi knelt down and picked up the small digimon, patting her head. She purred as she curled up in his arms and he along with his friends walked into the living room. "So, how's it going with raising you digimon, Yugi?" Topaz asked. "It's going well so far. I'm still worried about battling others. I don't know what Tsunomon will digivolve into so I'm kinda worried about it." he replied.

"Hmm, maybe I can solve that problem." Jou commented as he pulled out a gold-yellow D3. He scanned the little digimon that rested on the couch and Yugi moved over to him to see as well. "As it says on my D3, Tsunomon will digivolve into a Gabumon in a few hours if not a day, then Garurumon in three, WereGarurumon in a week and his mega form, MetalGarurumon in three weeks based on whether you enter him in battles or not. From what I learned, digimon can survive fer a long time but if they fail in battle a lot, they may pass away." Yugi looked to Tsunomon and was glad about his choice. He didn't want to lose him and seeing that he was becoming a cool looking digimon in a few weeks if not a month, he really didn't want to lose him before his time. "Thanks for telling me that, Jou. I thought about not putting him in battles in the first place. If I didn't know that, I would've lost him before he could become MetalGarurumon."

"Hey Jou, what about Syakomon? What would he become?" Ryou asked as the small digimon hopped up beside his tamer. "Hmm, Syakomon will digivolve into Gesomon soon then MarineDevimon and if you want, he can digivolve into Pukumon however I personally prefer MarineDevimon since he looks pretty cool." Jou explained as he showed Ryou the Ultimate form of Syakomon. "You're right about that. I'm still surprised that I'm even raising a virus type digimon. Still pretty cool either way." Ryou spoke with a smile as he picked up the shelled digimon to rest on his lap. After showing the others what their digimon would become, they relaxed in the living room, keeping an ear open for the sound of the bell for customers.

In a few hours Tsunomon digivolved into Gabumon while both Gigimon and Viximon digivolved into Guilmon and Renamon a little while after Tsunomon. A few minutes later did they hear the bell of the shop door ringing and Diamond got up to see what customers they had this time. "Renamon, do you mind helping me out with the new customers?" she asked and the vixen digimon nodded as she followed her tamer. When she walked up to the counter, she was in for a surprise. The group that walked in had four of the members looking a deal like her friends, except for the fourth of the small group. One was a look alike of Yugi's only with more blond streaks in his hair and crimson eyes. The next was a Ryou look alike and could have mistaken him for the boy himself if it wasn't for the spikier hair and cold russet eyes. And the last almost resembled Malik with the same shade of hair and skin tone but there were many differences present such as the hair being spiked up in different directions and his eyes being a darker shade of lavender. The other who didn't look like Jou, thank goodness, had chocolate brown hair and cold blue eyes.

She shook her head lightly and looked to them. "So, what can I do for you?" Diamond asked. "Yes, we have heard about the new game that has been a big sensation around this part of town and we came here to learn about more." Yami replied and she nodded. "Sure. Well as you might have heard, the newest game is called Digimon or digital monsters that were brought into the physical world. This is a digimon right here. She is called Renamon. Just started raising her myself. There aren't many tamers out right now but soon the whole city will be filled with them and you can battle others to prove your strength to them. Based on how you raise them and whether you win or lose battle will determine the life of your digimon. Push them too hard or lose many battles will result in your digimon passing away. There are six levels of digivolution. Baby, In training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate and Mega. We have a few eggs, baby, in training and rookie digimon looking for a tamer if you would like to check them out now before I explain more." Diamond explained to them and they nodded. She led them into the back where Yugi told her the other digimon that hatched from their eggs were and explained to each of them what digimon they were and what they digivolved into. Pausing near a small pen, a small orange-yellow baby digimon was housed, sleeping quietly. She took out her white and silver colored D3 and showed them the info of the small digimon. "Here we have Fufumon, the baby stage of Ryuudamon. He is a very nice digimon to start out with and happens to have a decent chart if you like dragons." Diamond stated which caught Seto's attention.

"What's his digivolution chart?" Seto asked, walking over to her. "Well, after a few minutes, he should be digivolving into Kyokyomon, after another couple hours he will become Ryuudamon, then GinRyuumon three days after, HishaRyuumon in a week then OunRyuumon three weeks after." Diamond stated as she showed the digivolution chart to Seto. "He is very interesting. I'll take him." Seto picked the now digivolved and awake Kyokyomon from his pen. She nodded and went over to another pen. DemiDevimon looked up before flapping his wings and perched himself onto her shoulder. "Here's DemiDevimon, a virus type digimon with a good heart. Well, until he digivolves. His champion form is Devimon, then Myotismon and finally his mega, VenomMyotismon." She said as she showed them the chart. "He's just my type. I'll take him." Bakura spoke as the little digimon looked to him before moving to perch on his shoulder. "Ok then, next we have ToyAgumon. A very nice digimon if you happen to like those of pride. He will digivolve into Leomon, then Panjyamon and SaberLeomon." She explained as she let them examine the chart as well. "Seems like my type since I'm filled with pride." Marik said as he picked up the rookie digimon. "Now, over here we have Floramon. She may look a little girly but her chart would be something anybody would go for. She digivolves into Kiwimon, then Deramon and finally, Gryphonmon." She said as she showed them the digivolution chart for Floramon.

"You are right about her, she may look like something a girl would want but her mega form is suited for me." Toben preened as he took the flower digimon from her pen, grinning to the digimon who return it. "Ok, so that leaves you three. I think I may have something for you." She whispered as she looked to Crimson. "Really? Show me what you got then." But in truth, he admired Diamond and her choice of digimon. 'I can imagine her like Renamon. A beautiful vixen. One that has caught my attention greatly.' Crimson thought as he, Yami and Aqua followed her to another pen. "Here we are. Retamon is a very good digimon, like Renamon in a way, especially his mega form, Anubismon." Diamond said as she showed him the digivolution chart for Retamon. "You are right about his mega form. He interests me so, just like someone else in this room but I shall not say any names yet." Crimson murmured as the dark fox digimon jumped from the pen and stood beside him. "I think I know. I have a feeling we may be staying here a little longer than intended." Bakura mumbled as he pointed from Crimson to Diamond.

"And to think, Toben thought someone as cold hearted as him wouldn't find love in someone." Toben spoke quietly as they followed Diamond to the next pen. Inside was a Monodramon and the curious digimon looked up when they came by, preferably looking to Yami. She looked down and smiled before turning to Yami. "Well, it seems he has an interest in you. That's a good thing, judging by his digivolution chart." Diamond started as she showed Yami the digimon's digivolution chart. "How unique indeed, I'll take him in." Yami declared and the little digimon crooned happily as he fluttered out from his pen and landed beside Yami. "Now all we need to do is find someone for you." She said as she looked to Aqua then to some of the other digimon. Aqua looked around as well and spotted the little demon digimon known as Strabimon crouched in a corner of his pen. "What about him?" he asked as he pointed to said digimon. Renamon picked up the little digimon and he looked to Aqua before jumping from her arms and walked over to him, observing him before giving a slight nod. "Well, he seems to have chosen you then. Since it is getting late, his chart is Dobermon X then Cerberusmon X since he doesn't have a mega like the others. Cerberusmon X is rather strong if you train him right." Diamond said as they left out the room.

She stepped behind the counter and gave each of them their own D3, already programmed, before heading back into the other room, waving goodbye to them. They headed out the game shop, ready to head back to Seto's mansion and Yami turned back once more and thought he saw someone that looked like him heading upstairs. He took another glance and saw nothing there and sighed. "I thought I saw something interesting. Must be me." Yami hummed quietly. Monodramon looked up to him and crooned softly, trying to reassure his new tamer. He stroked the small digimon's head quietly. "It's alright now. I thought I just saw something." He murmured and Monodramon nodded as they followed behind the others.

When Yugi came back downstairs, he thought he saw someone walking past the game shop that looked like him. 'Must be my imagination.' Yugi thought as he headed back into the living room. "Hey Diamond, who were the customers that came in earlier?" Yugi asked as he sat down on the couch, Gabumon moving over to sit next to him. "Yeah. And three of them happen to be very surprising to me." Diamond said. "How surprising do you mean?" Malik asked. "As surprising as it gets. Three of those teens that came in happen to look like you, Yugi and Ryou." she commented which surprised everyone, especially Yugi. 'So it wasn't my imagination. There is someone out there that looks like me.' Yugi thought as he listened to Diamond. "They came in here to test out some digimon and I gave them ones that suited them and their personality. They were happy but I have a feeling the guy that was with them has some interest in me but he looked to be too cold for me." Diamond hummed. "So, Diamond finally has someone interested in her~ You plan to see him again anytime soon?" Topaz teased and she glared at him playfully. "Don't know. But who knows when I may meet him again so it wouldn't matter anyway." she stated as she sat down. Renamon said down beside her and fell asleep silently. "Well, I guess we'll be staying here for a while. Your grandfather wouldn't mind, will he?" Diamond asked and he nodded. "Sure, you know he doesn't mind you guys staying over. Besides, he going to be out of town soon to take care of some other countries that want to learn more about the game and promote it, so I'll at least have some company for the night."

"Well, it's getting late and our digimon are tired. How about we head to bed?" Malik suggested as he nudged Guilmon to wake him up. "Sure, I'm getting tired as well. You all know where the guest rooms are so pick one and I'll see you guys tomorrow morning." Yugi said as he walked Gabumon up to his room, his friends following behind him while Diamond stayed downstairs as Renamon was already asleep. "Well, this was an eventful day, Gabumon. I have you now and you are going to become a strong digimon one day. I'm still afraid of putting you into battle though but I'm sure that won't be such a big deal..." Yugi spoke as he pat the digimon's head. Gabumon growled playfully and hugged Yugi before jumping into bed. He laughed softly and got into his bed beside the digimon and lied down, patting his head once more before falling asleep. But one thought still ran through his mind.

'Who is it that looks like me?'

Yami sat in one of the many rooms of the Kaiba mansion, still thinking about the boy he saw. 'Was he part of my imagination? Or was he real? I need to know about him and see if he is real.' Monodramon watched him quietly, having a feeling he knew what his tamer was thinking. 'Don't worry, Yami. Yugi is real. Not just a figment of your imagination. Maybe I can let you meet him tomorrow if you take me back to the shop with you.' Monodramon thought as he went to sleep and Yami soon followed.
