Episode 1: A new path
I Looked at my watch carefully. It said it was 3 pm already. I promised my mom I'd be home on time today, but I couldn't help staying behind, for the 5th time in a row. I had to get into that fight, it was tormenting me.
As I entered my apartment room, my mother waited sitting on my rocking chair, slowly rocking back and forth, causing a slow screech threw the room.
"I'm sorry," I said, plainly, and quickly.
She crossed her arms "What's your excuse this time, Neko?" Her eyes narrowed at me, as if she could see right threw me.
"I stayed back to study with Angel." I said, never looking directly at my mother, she could always tell if I was lying: if I looked at her.
She stood up "I'd like it, since school is over, that you took a vacation."
"Your not going to send me to boarding school?" I asked surprised, looking at her.
She walked over in front of me "Of course not!" And smiled warmly. It made me hurt seeing her so happy, thinking everything I tell her is the truth "Aunt Marry said you could go over to her farm for a month or so."
"Aunt Marry?" I cried "That absurd! She always starves me when I go there, and she never lets me do anything fun! All I do there is shovel-" Before I could say the inappropriate word, she covered my mouth and said firmly "Your going."
I lowered my head "Ok, I'll pack."
"No need, she said, handing me a backpack "I already packed for you."
I looked at her surprised "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
She laughed, then there was a noise of honking from out front.
I looked out the window and sighed "On time as always," And took my backpack from my mother.
"I'll see you in a few weeks." She said, handing me a couple bills, probably the maximum of 200 yen.
"Thanks," I said turning away and walked out of the apartment, and entered my aunt's dirty car. I watched the apartment as it vanished in a distance.

I slowly spiraled down into a dark cave, with nothing there except me. Alone I cried.
"You are forever abandoned." A voice whispered into my mind, etching into me like a knife "Nobody loves you."
I shook my head "No. My mother loves me."
"She does not." The voice howled.
I held my head in my arms "Shut up!"
"You are unloved... unloved... unloved..."
"SHUT UP!"

I woke up in the car, with my Aunt shaking me awake. That was not the first time I have had a dream like that. Many times before I have received it. I don't know who is sending the dreams to me, or maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me foolishly.
"Come," My aunt said and dragged me out of the car and we walked back to the farm where she showed me where I will be staying for the next while.
As I finished unpacking, the phone in my room began to ring. I waited as it rang four times, then decided my aunt wasn't going to pick it up, so I did.
"Hello?" I talked into the phone.
There was a sound of breathing, but not a word was spoken.
"Hello?" I asked again, but more angered.
The breathing stopped and just as I thought the person was about to talk, there was a click, then the phone went dead.
"Jerks." I growled, then heard a thunder from outside. Around where this farm is, there's rarely rain.
Just as I was about to go outside, my Aunt handed me a bucket full of water "I need you to clean out the rooster pen." She demanded.
I muttered a few words under my breath, then continued walking outside. The rooster pen was only a ten minute walk, but when it'd getting dark outside, it seems a lot longer.

As I finished cleaning up the pen, I realized the roosters gave me cuts on my arms and legs that caused me to bleed a little bit.
"Damned birds." I growled at them, then heard another thundering noise that caused me to stop in my tracks, and I rushed outside and saw a glowing light in the sky that was slowly coming towards me.
I grabbed it out of the air when it came to me and stared at it "What is this thing?" I asked as I looked at the square device in my hands. It was small and was light blue and had a small screen on it that showed a map of the area I was at, but there was a glowing dot on the screen.
Before I could move a muscle, a title wave of light collapsed over me, and dragged me from the ground into the air, and I couldn't tell where I was going because the light absorbed me before I could even scream.

I opened my eyes slowly and came face-to-face with a small round ball that had blue eyes and long ears that went behind it, and a cat nose and mouth, and a striped tail.
"AH!" I screamed as I quickly leaped to my feet, and looked at the creature.
"You came! You came! You finally came!" It said excitedly.
"What are you?!" I asked, looking at it carefully.
It smiled "I'm a digimon! Digital monster! Your my human! All the other got one, but me. But finally I have a friend!"
"Digimon? Digital monster?" I asked, then looked around "But where am I?"
"In the digiworld, silly!" She said in it's feminine voice.
I looked at it perplexed "And why do you say I'm your human? Are there other's who got dragged here?"
She nodded, then hopped around me, considering it has no feet or body, then stopped right in front of me "My name is Nekomon! I bet your name is Neko! I bet I bet I bet!"
I stepped back in panic "How do you know my name?"
"Jedi told me!" She nodded "He told me when you'd be coming, and he was right!"
"Then this Jedi must know how I can get back to my world." I whispered to myself.
Nekomon smiled "You don't know how long I've been waiting for you. I finally have a friend." and leaped up at me, and I caught her "Oh boy! I can't wait until I can show the other humans! Your so pretty, Neko, I bet you have a lot of friends!"
"Not really," I said, looking at the forest I fell into "I come from a school where everyone is agents everyone."
"Wow," She said "That must be sad."
I nodded "Yea... Hey, let's go and find Jedi, okay?"
She looked at me with saddened eyes "Don't you want to stay here with me? I promise I can help you find the other 8 children, then the 9 of you can be friends, and you can meet other digimon like me!"
"Goody," I muttered, then looked at her, and couldn't help but smile "Okay, lead the way, Nekomon." And put her back down onto the ground, and she smiled, and we began our journey.
