Author notes: This is my first digimon chapter story. If it's bad, I'm sorry. This story is basically a cinderella version of Taiora, and a little bit of Mimato and hints of Takeru. Hope you like it!!!!!!!


Cinderella

Sora woke up on sunday morning on the kitchen floor. She missed her warm bed which was taken over by her evil stepsister, Mel. Ever since her dad died when she was little her stepmom Laura, and her two daughters, Mel and Liz, took over everything and made her a servant of theirs.

They not only took over everything, but burnt her fathers letters to her. And soldbooks that was dear to her and sold his possessions for money and jewels. They tried to make her forget that she was a noble, and is now a servant. But Sora fotunate enough to have stolen her fathers favorite book before they sold everything. The book was his diary. She kept it hidden well for eight years.

He had died when she was seven, but now she grew into a beautiful young lady at the age of fifteen. She had shoulder length red hair and intense red eyes. Her only friends were her farm animals and the other servants.

Sora quickly made breakfast and set it on the tables where the rest of the family was waiting. Sora poured milk in their cups and then went off to the market for food.

"Dad why do I have to marry!" Prince Tai asked frustrated and pulling his hair.

"Because it's the law. You have to be married by your 17th birthday. Which is only a month away. And you still haven't found one. And if you don't stop pulling your hair. You'll lose it all before you're 20" His father replied.

"I don't care and maybe I don't want a wife to nag me all day and make me get things for her. Or answer her stupid questions like 'do I look fat in this?' Having Kari is enough"

"Hey!" Kari shouted at Tai, her big brother.

"Sorry" he simply said.

"We've sent you all over Japan, China, Korea, Malaysia to find a Princess for you to marry. And you always come back with none. If this keeps up I'll have to choose one for you" The king threatened.

"Fine I'll marry, but it's my choice, and you have no say. She could be ugly, poor, rich, pretty, snobby, but you have to stay out. If I have to be with her all my life than I should pick"

"Fine" the King stormed back into his bedroom as the Prince set out to find his bride.

*****************

"Hello young lady may I interest you with a pretty necklace?" A merchant tried to persuade Sora.

"No thank sir. I should be going. I don't know why I stopped here. I just got caught up looking at this-"

"I know, it's pretty isn't it. You sure?"he asked one last time.

"Maybe someday I'll come back as a rich women and buy it. It is lovely, but the way I'm living now. I doubt it" Sora sighed sadly.

"Don't worry lady. All good things come to good people. And all good things come to those who wait. So I'll wait" he smiled back gently.

"Thank you sir. I should be going. It was nice speaking to you" Sora flashed a smile and left.

"And you my lady" he called back.

Sora wandered deeper into the heart of the market place. Finally she found her usual shopping stand.

"Good morning, Mimi and how are you today?" Sora asked.

"Great! Would you like to buy some vegatables today? They're fresh from my dads farm" Mimi looked around and whispered into Sora's ear. "I can give you some for free, if you wait a little?"

"Okay, mean while I'll go look around. It looks especially busy today" Sora fixed her stained cotton blue dresss.

"Okay then. You can leave your basket here. I'll watch them. No one dares to steal from my family" Mimi smirked proudly.

"Yeah, your dad would kill whoever did" Sora laughed.

"Bye" Mimi waved.

"Bye"

"Hmm....where shall I go?" Tai questioned as he entered the market place of the town.

"How about that lovely candle shop?" Tai's best friend Matt suggested.

"No, how about over there?" Tai pointed to the bazaar where all the stands were, and where all the lower class were too.

"It'll attract to much attention and you'll get mobbed!" Matt knew Tai ever since they were kids and they've always looked out for each other.

"C'mon don't be scared. Are you or are you not a man?" Tai teased.

"Fine I'll go, and you'll eat your words. Where do you want to go first?"

"How about that jewel stand. There has to be girls there" Tai suggested and the duo trotted to the stand. They stayed there for several minutes than began to leave. It turned out that only rich snobby girls were there.

"Where are all the fine ladies when you need them?" Matt said sarcastically.

"Yeah, let's go look at that clothes shop" Tai dragged Matt around like dog back and forth throughout the whole place.

"Are we done yet? I'm tired of all this walking and you dragging me around. Are you wife practicing or something?" Matt fell onto the cobble stone floor.

"Well, I have only a month to find her. I should use every bit of my time" Tai continued.

"You are an idiot my friend. Instead of you going to her, why don't you let her come to you?" Matt smirked as the wheels in his head started turning.

"How?" Tai asked suspiciously.

"Throw a ball and invite every girl!" Matt said stupidly.

"You'd love that!" Tai grinned.

"I know I would" Matt began to daydream.

"But what if she doesn't come? I still think I should look for her"

"Whatever dude, but I'm hungry can we get some food?" Matt complained.

"Sure, where shall we go?' Tai looked around.

"Well, I saw a food stand not far away. And the girl was pretty cute" Matt grinned.

"Alright. I know. You want to flirt with her. I can take a hint. Let's go. You at least deserve something from me dragging you all around" Tai patted his friend on the back and started off.

***************

Sora started walking off to the book stand. She picked up a book called Digiworld, and skimmed the first few pages. She found herself engrossed in the book within seconds. She could hardly lift her eyes from it.

It was filled with adventure, dreams, courage, love, etc. But the tap of someone on her shoulder broke her trance. She looked up to see the book seller looking down at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just got lost in the book. I didn't mean to..." Sora stopped mumbling as the man began to laugh.

"Are you alright sir?" she asked politely.

"Of course. It;s just the way you went off about apologizing. You got nothing to say sorry for. I just wanted to know if you'd like to buy the book?" he asked smiling.

"I would love to, but I barely have any money with me. And if my Stepmom lady Laura found out I waste her money on a book I'd get punished" Sora's head fell and stared at the floor and handed the book back to the man.

"Sorry for the trouble" Sora said. She was suprised to feel him push the book back into her hands.

"It's alright lady Sora. You keep it. I'm a generous man" Sora lifted her head up.

"How did you know my name?" she asked.

"I knew your father. He was a great man. And when he died you new mom sold me his books. It would only be right if his only daughter had at least on of his favorites" he explained.

"Thank you sir. I won't forget this!" She hugged him and rushed back to Mimi.

But going back was harder than she thought. There was a huge crowd around Mimi's stand.

"Since when was everyone so interested in her stand?" Sora mumbled out loud.

"Since now!" A women replied.

"oh" Sora blushed and pushed her way to the stand.

"Mimi! What are you selling?" Sora made it past the crowd, but she was pretty much out of breath and collasped on a stool.

Sora looked over at Mimi to see her talking to a very handsome blonde gentlemen. She looked at the man behind the blonde. Sora blushed as she realized she was staring. He looked so handsome with his big brown hair and pigeon brown eyes.

She was amazed to see him blush in return and look away.
