Disclaimer! I don't own Digimon...I only own my character and some plot, please if you don't have anything nice to say/review or just don't like the story: why are you still reading it? Benefit of the doubt maybe?
A/N: Hey everyone, long time no write! Sorry for the long period of absence but I have a second fanfic account that I was writing on since last year, it's called "Writer-of-many-subjects", but don't worry I will try to continue writing on this profile as well as that one, hopefully you check out my other one as well for more mature stories. For now I will be revising this and trying to write new chapters, so there will be added content, thank you for staying with me for so long and I am really sorry for the wait!
Chapter.1. All aboard!
I watched the clouds from my seat in the back of the classroom, the teachers droning a background noise as the afternoon sun made the clouds take on a yellow hue. I sighed quietly when a simple question caught my attention.
"Is it possible for one to choose their destiny or is it fate that one will follow it?" The teacher asked. I stared at the bald man dressed in the brown suit. I raised my hand so did a few of the other students.
"Yes Miss Shiro?" The teacher said calling on me. I sighed as the senior high schoolers turned in their seats to stare at me, the only eleven year old that was graduating alongside them; I've known most of the class for three years.
"Well, Mr. Kaneki that would depend on the destiny, I believe that everyone has a different destiny some would have to find it to change it." I answered. Mr. Kaneki smiled and it seemed as if my answer caused him to think, the bell rang out and it caused him to jerk out of his thoughts.
"Alright! I will see you all on Monday." Mr. Kaneki said. I smiled to myself and gathered up by notebooks and work books into my brown leather backpack before slinging it on my back. I then walked right out of the school and towards the train station; I felt my phone vibrate and took it out of my skirt pocket. I flipped it open and I frowned at the text I had just received.
"Play the game? Yes or no?" Was what I stared at on the screen, I blinked my silver eyes and thought for a moment, I smirked and pressed yes. What could possibly go wrong?
"Shiro Yume." A cool female voice said freaking me out as a weird symbol played on the screen of my phone. I almost dropped my phone in my surprise. I brought it closer to my ear so I could hear the voice better.
"Yes that is me." I said.
"It's time to decide your future, Yume." The voice continued.
"Wait a minute. Who is this? What do you mean my future?" I asked confused.
"Your destiny is calling." Did the voice just make a pun? "Take the 5:45 outbound train." The voice said. I looked to see that I had about seven minutes to make it. I ran as fast as I could to the outbound train and got stopped by no money at the ticket booths. I gritted my teeth and balled my hands into fists.
"Damn!" I cursed under my breath as the machine suddenly beeped, a ticket coming out of it, and I grabbed it so I could get onto the train. The ticket scanner beeped happily as I ran it through and I continued on my way. I ran through the doors just in time, a boy with a green hat, goggles, a red button up shirt, a yellow shirt, tan shorts, tan gloves, a pair of white socks, and tan shoes followed right after. I was panting as I looked for a place to stand. I chose a strap next to a boy with long dark blue hair, cyan eyes, and a blue and yellow bandana, grey Capri like sweats, a blue jacket, and a yellow shirt. My phone went off again and I looked down at it.
"Transfer to the 6 o'clock westbound train." It said. I breathed in trying not to yell and make a scene. I am not a fan of the owner of the voice right now.
"Seriously..." I muttered at the phone, the boy next to me looked over my shoulder and at my phone. He raised a brow and I ignored the look.
"Your phone as well?" He asked, his tone showing that he was surprised.
"Yeah...Wait, You mean you're getting the messages and creepy phone calls as well?" I asked. The boy nodded and I decided to introduce myself, "Hi my names Shiro Yume, I'm eleven and in my last year of high school." I introduced myself the way I did my first day of High school.
"You're a high school student?" The boy asked.
"I'm smarter then I look, geez is it the white hair?" I asked as I subconsciously tried to get my bangs under my black beanie.
"No it's just you're so young I'm only on the sixth grade, my names Minamoto Kouji." The boy said. I smiled tiredly at him.
"It's nice to meet you." I said. He nodded. A sudden yell caught my attention as the train sped down the tracks.
"Ahhhhhh! Come on! Gimme a break! I'm doing the best I can!" The red shirted boy said. I rolled my eyes and got off the train with Kouji, we both walked down to the elevators. He was quiet, but I wasn't bothered by it.
'Why do I have the feeling that I'm being followed?' I thought as a sweat dropped appeared on my head. I went inside the elevator and just as the steel doors were closing the red shirt boy made a flying jump inside causing me to move out of the way and the boy made a strong breeze that caused me to hold my skirt down. The elevator dinged and then the feeling of going down hit me, the boy gave out a groan and I looked at him, he had a bright red spot on his forehead.
"Hey. Did you get a message too?" The boy asked Kouji. I closed my phone angrily and put it back into my skirt pocket. I frowned and glared at the elevator doors.
'I'm always forgotten…' I thought angrily. Kouji closed his phone and turned away from the boy. I caught his unamused look in the reflection of the metal doors.
"Ah. You could answer me at least." The boy said as the elevator suddenly gained speed and went past the lowest level. My frown lightened up in my confusion.
"Huh... That's strange." I muttered.
"Oh. My destiny's really starting to bite." The boy grumbled looking out the window of the elevator. The elevator then came to a sudden stop and the doors opened. The boy hit his head once again and I felt something gently grab my arm and steady me before I also fell. I looked to see Kouji sauntering out of the elevator. I noticed a smirk of sorts on his face as I felt my neck burn slightly.
"Man. I really got to stop landing on my head." The boy said as I stepped out of the elevator. There were a lot of trains, they were all different colors as well, and while I looked at them I couldn't help but feel as though they were living. It caused a small headache to appear and I clenched my jaw.
"It's up to you now. Which one will you choose?" My phone said. I went into a reddish brown train and hoped for the best as I found a place to sit, not that hard seeing as though it was empty. I pulled off my black beanie and shook my white hair out, the shoulder length white hair was slightly frizzy due to the beanie. It was quiet until a little boy with an orange hat was pushed onto the train. Two more people joined the compartment, a boy wearing a blue and yellow jumpsuit and a girl in lavender. I went over to the little boy and offered a hand. He looked at me surprised and I smiled gently.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked him. He sniffed and nodded. He took my hand and I led him to the seats, I sat down and he joined me.
"I'll be fine thank you." The boy said. I smiled at that. I then heard the back door open.
"Um. Are you here cuz of the phone thing?" A very familiar voice asked. The girl nodded.
"Well duh..." I stated.
"With him here, there's four of us. I wonder if that means something special..." The girl said. I gave her a skeptical look.
'I hope she won't turn out to be a dumb blonde...' I thought.
"Something special? What? Why'd you guys get on this train? ... I mean was it ... the message?" The boy asked.
"Hey kid, this was the closest train to the elevator. Okay. Now look; just leave me alone." The jumpsuit guy said.
"But there must have been some reason you picked this particular train." The jumpsuit boy said to me and blondie.
"I like the color of this train." I stated shrugging.
"Unlike her it was closest to the elevator." Blondie said giggling. I rolled my eyes slightly.
"So my name's JP. What's yours?" Jumpsuit asked to me and blondie.
"I'm Zoe; it's nice to meet you." Blondie said smiling.
"I'm Yume." I said. They were all introducing themselves like I had to when I was in America.
"And I'm... I'm Takuya. Hi there." The red shirt boy said. He was a little awkward about that.
"I'm Tommy, but I didn't want to get on this train." The Orange hatted boy said. I ran a hand on his back as he hiccupped slightly.
"What are you saying?" Takuya asked. I looked at him.
"Two bullies pushed him into the compartment before he could say no." I said. Tommy nodded and buried his head into my cream sweater vest. I gave him a worried look as I continued to rub his back.
"Uh... Are you a high school student?" Takuya asked me. I nodded.
"I'm finishing up my last year," I responded before turning to Tommy, "Hey don't cry Tommy, you've got us here." Tommy nodded at that and tried to stop his crying.
"Geez. The kid's like a faucet." J.P said earning a glare from me.
"Don't worry Tommy. You're safe now that you're with us." Zoe said.
"Toot toot"
I think the train just spoke. The lights all turned off and we were thrown to the floor as the train hit a giant bump, when I hit the ground I closed my eyes. I opened my eyes to see the reflection of a girl with long white hair, silver eyes, wearing a blue tunic, steel armor, and a blue skirt. I blinked as it disappeared and looked to see that the others also had it happen to them, one of them was a large beetle.
"Welcome to the Digital World, Yume. This is your D-Tector." The voice said from my pocket, I took out what used to be my phone and looked to see a white gadget it had sky blue accents on it.
'Digital world? Sounds like something my cousin Izzy liked to talk about after he got back that one year from summer camp.' I thought, an image of the carrot topped teen with his computer passed through my mind.
"Toot toot" uh... The train said? Was the train talking? Could trains even talk?
"Did you guys get that message?" I vaguely heard Takuya say.
"WOO WOO!" The train basically bellowed.
"Gah!" We all exclaimed wincing at how loud it was. I held my ears as I felt some sweat go down the side of my face.
"You could hear that on Mars man!" Takuya said. I looked at the window to see little ghost like creatures flying across the sky, there were so cute that I cringed.
"Are those ghosts?" Zoe asked.
"They look like it." Tommy said.
"Or marshmallows. They'd go great with chocolate." J.P said. One of them put its face right up to the window and made a scary face, effectively scaring Zoe. It was pretty amusing to say the least.
"Ah!" Zoe said as the creatures all flew away.
"Probably ghosts of kids that came here before! OH! What have I gotten myself into, and what if there's no way of getting back out!?" Takuya said.
"Calm down Tako*." I said.
"Geez. Calm down Takuya. We're all in this together." Zoe said, I think I'm going to agree with her often. We were going into a large metal structure; I guess that's the end of this train ride.
"I bet that's the train station. I hope there aren't any more of those ghosts' things there. Not that I was scared or anything." Zoe said.
"Yeah. I always scream in terror when I'm not afraid." J.P stated, I had to agree with him on that one.
"I kind of agree with him on that one..." I said quietly.
"Hmph!" Zoe said. Crossed her arms across her chest as the train came to a stop and the doors opened.
"Human kids to play with! Don't burn them this time" The little white Creatures said. I stepped out of the train and the others were ejected onto the floor. I sighed at that as a few of the white ghost like creatures started to bump into my legs.
"Hehe. First step's a doosie. Hehe." A voice said. I started to chuckle silently. I then went off to explore. It was all made of metal and I gave a yawn as I found a large building.
"Wow..." I mumbled, I was then hit in the stomach by something yellow and bunny like. I hit the ground with a small "ooff."
"Hey Bokomon! What is this?" The thing asked, the red pants on it was pulled by the waist band until it was snapped back and caused the little creature to get off my stomach. I sat up and I noticed a second creature.
"Neemon that is a human child." A little egg like creature said, it was wearing a pink waist band. I was reminded of the word 'Digi' it struck me as familiar and it hit me, it was the species that Izzy talked about, and how could I forget?
"Uhh... Are you guys Digimon?" I asked.
"Indeed we are, my name is Bokomon and that imbecile over there is Neemon." The egg like creature said. He was a little harsh to the little yellow guy.
"Huh, I always thought Izzy was making up the digital world when he told me about it, my name is Yume by the way." I said.
"Izzy?" Bokomon asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, he said he visited it one summer and had to help defeat a devil like creature that was using black gears to control Digimon." I said. Bokomon looked at me surprised.
"That is the oldest tale in my book!" He said. I blinked and smiled.
"Izzy would find that pretty interesting, oh by the way the others are back at the train, I'm going to go look around, see you later Bokomon." I said as I got to my feet and walked off. I had to stop when something grabbed me by the back of my white dress shirt and dragged me along the ground. I felt heat from a fire and closed my eyes. I opened them and looked up to see a dark dog holding my shirt with its teeth; I will admit that I was slightly scared.
"That is one bad dog. Bad Dog. Cerberumon. Special attack, Emerald Blaze. And that's why we need your help." I heard Bokomon say.
"Hey! Isn't that Yume?" Neemon asked.
"Indeed it is!" I heard the panicked shout of Bokomon.
"Where is the ancient Spirit?" I heard Cerberumon state, "I can sense the Spirit's presence all over this town. I must destroy it!" I grimaced and tried to hang on as the Digimon jumped. I hit the ground, as Cerberumon landed; I was going to have bruises after this.
"No way! It's mine! I... Uhh..." Takuya started. Bokomon gave a nervous laugh. Even I gave a wiry chuckle at that.
"Then you will be destroyed with it! Emerald Blaze!" Cerberumon said. I felt the heat of fire again and looked to see a ring of fire surrounding Takuya and Bokomon. I am lucky that my hair or clothes didn't catch on fire.
"What are you crazy?! Run already!" I yelled to the three.
"Shut it!" Cerberumon said. I yelped slightly as it moved me, slamming into the ground again.
"Yeah, but where am I supposed to go?" Takuma yelled back.
"Anywhere but here! Whoa..." I heard Neemon say.
"That mutt is going to eat up the whole bridge." Bokomon said. I noticed strands of silver and bluish purple code come to the Digimon that had me in its jaws. It released me and tossed me towards the others; I landed and slid slightly before coming to a stop in front of Takuya. He helped me up and I noticed that Bokomon was trying to hide behind my legs.
"Oh great!" Takuya said. I second that motion.
"It's doing it in a process, I've only seen that once when I was destroying a computer program." I muttered.
"There go the train tracks." Neemon said. That's when Takuya started to slip. We all then fell to the ground below; I grabbed a hold on Bokomon and Neemon before I landed on my feet. That's when a beeping caught my attention.
"Hey my D-Tector." Takuya said. His D-Tector pointed to a large bonfire, "No way." The bonfire then became a beam of light.
"I-Incredible." I said as Bokomon jumped from my arms.
"What is...?" Takuya asked.
"It's the Spirit." Bokomon said, "The Spirit of Flame."
"The Spirit? That wasn't so hard. Time to go home! But how am I supposed to get it, and what do I do with it when I do." Takuya thought aloud. I heard Cerberumon land on the ground.
"No need to worry about that, for it will soon be destroyed!" Cerberumon said. I narrowed my eyes and went over to a scrap pile and grabbed a metal pipe and stood in front of the two Digimon as Cerberumon began to run towards us. I brought the pipe down onto its head and the pipe broke. My eyes widened slightly before a paw hit me and I was pushed out of the way and into a wall hitting my head hard enough to be knocked unconscious. When I came to I was in the arms of something and being put into the ground. I looked up to see a light orange haired blue eyed person who had put me down. It then turned into Takuya.
"Thanks man." I said. Takuya nodded and almost passed out. I put an arm around his shoulders and kept him on his feet, he nodded in slight thanks as I noticed the new area surrounding the little area we were in.
"You are the digidestined; it is your destiny to save the digital world." Bokomon said explaining as everyone else joined us. I blinked at him and then nodded.
"Makes sense." I shrugged. That caused me to gain some looks from my human companions. Izzy was right on the money about the digital world, I was going to go on a little faith about the stories he told me when I was little, we smaller at least.
"W-what?" I asked. I simply got questioning looks from the humans of the group.
*1: Yume is referring to Takuya as Taku which means, Octopus in Japanese.
2: This chapter has been revised since I have updated my way of writing, it's longer for one and reads pretty well, I originally wrote this on my phone but I moved it to my computer.
