With the Spirits
Wish

Asaichi Satoru hummed a tune as he listened to the radio and watched the clouds drift by. He was sitting on the smalldeck (so small he lying down took all of the room!). Without noticing, day turned to night. Only when he saw a light shoot across the sky did he notice. I wish I had some friends

As a song (Innocent~Mujaki na Mamade) played on the computer, Sojuro Riyu stared into the screen. She laughed as one of her friends, Taiki Yoshino (hot_kitsune12), made a crack about the new blazer uniforms at the secondary school. Rura Taira (cute_honey234), and another friend, typed a 'lol' or lots of laughter. Soon many other friends typed similar messages. Deep in her heart though, the number of friends made no difference to Riyu. With or without them, she felt so empty. As if she were a vessel, a container, and there was nothing inside of her. The love and faith probably leaked out after the divorce, she wryly mused before typing something 'cute'. The others 'internet laughed'. Riyu couldn't help but smile. Making others made her feel a slight twinge of happiness but it usually faded away. Quick too. But if she had to make the world happy before she could feel something inside her, then she would. If only there was enough time. I wish I could, but that just seems like so much and I'm just one person. A kid! If I could have one wish, it would be to save the world from their sorrows. Chuckling lightly, she continued to chat with her bazillions of friends. Little known to her, a shooting star had just passed by.

Riina Okita whistled innocently as his oldest brother screeched at the top of his lungs, "Where the hell are my manga!?" The middle brother, Biri, chuckled at Okita as he sat down to watch the TV.

"You got the H-manga, ne?" he slyly asked. Without replying, Okita nodded. His eyes were fixed on some Godzilla movie in the English channel. It was slightly amusing since half the time lips flapped, there was no sound. "That's a good Okita-kun." Closing his eyes, the youngest of the Riina brothers got up and walked to the door. "Where ya going?"

"Out," he stated before opening the door. The apartment was getting too crowded for his taste. Why do they always crowd around? I wish they'd leave me alone or even better, I could get away.

Makorii Nara grinned as she tossed the ball out in the park. Her puppy, Akuma (who could be a trouble-making devil when he wanted) ran. Tongue hanging out with joy and his small yet muscular legs moving at top speed. She watched the Golden Retriever as it leapt into the air, catching the ball, and bringing back the slobbery object. Taking the ball and rubbing Akuma's head, she smiled, "C'mon! Time to go home!" The puppy made a sad face but still followed his master home. I wish I could meet more animal friends! She thought with the up most cheer as she skipped along to one of her older brothers.

Little did these four kids know about another world. A world in peril, filled with sorrow, filled with magical creatures constructed of data, a world of friends and growing and going away. A world where their wishes would come true, whether they wanted them to or not.

This is kind of bad with very little to do with digimon but I need it in here anyway. It gave insight about the characters in an (at least what I think) original way. [Just in case you want to know why I wrote it. ^_~] Hope it wasn't too painful.

Another note, I didn't explain about Satoru since he's being centered in the next chapter.

~Ja!
