Kyrene Nugasuki is a kind-hearted seventeen-year-old girl who lives in Shinshuku. She has a glamorous, yet lonely life. Both of her parents are famous singers and are rarely home. Everyone at school only likes her because she is rich and can get them anything they want, as well as naive enough not to know they are using her. Other than the parties every Friday and the occasional visit for video games, no one ever comes to her house. The three servants, Yukiara the maid, Chinchi the cook, and her husband, Jeran the butler, are her only real friends.

Anna-Marie Shintoya is an evil seventeen-year-old girl with a hated life. Her parents are divorced and her step dad, Jon, is a cruel pervert. Her only friend is her Digimon, Centauriamon. Her perception in life is that she's above all (even her six half-sisters and half-brother). She lives up to her nickname, Hatred, all too well. She is very strong because she likes to body-build and is a bounty hunter in the Digital World. Because of her step dad, she never stays at home and always carries a flamethrower, grenade launcher, and an AK40, though she usually keeps them concealed.

Impy is an Impmon with a cruel attitude. He is a loner who never likes to follow the rules and is always causing trouble. He lives in the Real World, taking refuge wherever he can. He wishes to Digivolve so that he can have his revenge against everyone who has ever crossed him, including his brother Bliich. But even with his hard nature, Impy secretly longs for a companion, though he doesn't want to believe it himself.

Little do the three know that their lives are about to change forever.

It was a bright, warm Friday afternoon. School had just let out for the weekend and Kyrene was walking by the park on her way home. She was walking slowly so that she could examine her surroundings with two-tone colored eyes.

Using a free hand, Kyrene straightened the hem of her navy blue shirt and pushed strands of dishwater blonde hair from her face. Even though it was up in a ponytail, her hair had a habit of getting in her face.

As she neared a small bush, it shook. Kyrene jumped at the movement, nearly dropping her books. Recovering quickly, she cautiously made her way towards the bush. She peeked behind the bush and gasped.

Curled up unconscious was a strange creature no bigger than a two-foot tall human. It had three white claws for toes on each foot, a spade-tipped tail, and long pointed ears. Its short, dark purple, almost black fur and white mask-like face was covered in scratches, bruises, scorch marks, and streaks of dried blood.

Dropping her books, Kyrene leaned down and carefully picked up the injured creature. She saw that there was a maroon bandana tied around its neck and on its three fingered paws were a matching set of gloves. There was also a yellow smiley-face with an evil fanged grin.

Worried more about its condition than its appearance, Kyrene picked up her books with her free hand and hurried home. Home was a two-story mansion with a large yard and conjoining garage.

Yukiara greeted Kyrene at the door. The twenty-year-old stared at the creature in Kyrene's arms. "Kyrene, just what is that?"

"Um, I don't know exactly. But it's hurt."

Yukiara sighed. "I'll get the bandages." She was quite used to Kyrene bringing home injured animals.

"And water with a washrag please and thank you." Kyrene said as she walked up the stairs towards her room.

Kyrene's room was the master bedroom on the second floor where all the bedrooms were located. It had white walls covered in posters of dragons except for one wall that had a full sized mural of a silver dragon standing on a cliff beside a cascading waterfall. The ceiling was a midnight blue littered with painted stars and dark grey clouds. The floor was carpeted in beige. A queen-sized bed covered with a dark green sheet and a black body pillow was up against the wall opposite the mural. Near the foot of the bed was a TV stand with a large TV on it and an Xbox 360 on the shelf under the TV. There was also a built-in closet in the wall next to the mural and a wooden dresser beside it with a clock and two red candles.

Kyrene laid the creature and her books on the bed then sat beside them. She ran her fingers slowly through its fur, carefully untangling it, and pulling out chunks of dried blood. "Oh, you poor thing. What happened to you?"

Yukiara appeared in the doorway, a bowl of water in one hand and a roll of bandages in the other, a washrag, and towel draped over one arm. "Alright, I have everything you asked for, Ky. Need anything else?"

Kyrene walked up to the maid, taking everything but the towel and washrag from her. "No thank you, Yuki."

"Alright." Yukiara draped the towel and washrag over Kyrene's arm before leaving the room.

Kyrene went back to her bed and sat down after putting her books on the floor. She set everything beside her then spread the towel out over her lap. She pulled the creature upon it, brushed the blood, and singed fur from the bed. Then she set to work wiping the strange creature down with the wet washrag and bandaging it. The entire time she worked the creature did not stir. The only sign that it was still alive was the rise and fall of its tiny chest.

After the task was finished, Kyrene returned the creature to its spot on the bed and set everything on the floor. Then she lay on her side beside the creature, watching over it.

Nearly two hours later Kyrene felt herself shook awake.

"Hm…?" She looked up to see Jeran looking down at her.

The twenty-nine-year-old butler had short brown hair, deep brown eyes, and a kind smile.

"Hello, Kyrene." he said in his soft voice.

"Oh, hi, Jeran. What's up?" Kyrene asked as she sat up.

"You haven't been down yet. Yuki said that you were tending to an injured creature. I came to check up on both of you."

Kyrene smiled. "How thoughtful. Thank you."

Jeran walked towards the door. "You're welcome," As he reached the door he paused, as if remembering something. He turned to Kyrene. "Oh, and Chinchi was wandering if you wanted anything to eat."

"Tell her not at the moment, please and that I'm sorry I haven't dropped in yet."

"Alright." Jeran left the room.

Kyrene looked down at the creature beside her. She readjusted the sheet, pausing when the creature moved.

"Uh…." it moaned.

Kyrene watched intently as its eyes flickered open. "Hello. How do you feel?"

The creature looked up at her through unfocused dark green eyes. "Wha?" He looked around the room slowly. "Where the hell am I? And who the hell're you?"

"My name is Kyrene and you're in my room," Kyrene replied. "I fixed you up."

The creature's face twisted into a frown. "That's stupid…."

"Would you like me to get you anything?"

"Sure, toots. How 'bout some data so I can Digivolve." he replied sarcastically.

Kyrene cocked her head to one side. "I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about. Can I get you something else?"

"Hm, how 'bout two pizzas…two bottles of sake…and whatever other leftovers youse gots left."

"Ok!" Kyrene said as she got up.

The creature's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "What?!" Apparently, he had not expected her to do anything.

"I'll be back in a tick!" Kyrene called as she went out the door.

The creature stared at the empty doorway for a moment before lying back on the pillow, a smug grin crossing his face. "Now this is cool."

Kyrene returned a few minutes later with a tray laden with food and two bottles of sake. "Here we go!" She set the tray beside the stunned creature. "The pizzas will be done shortly," She watched as the creature set to the food and drink with gusto. "So what's your name?"

"Impy." he replied through a mouthful.

Kyrene smiled. "I like that name, it suits you."

Impy paused and glared at Kyrene. Then he went back to eating.

"So…what are you exactly? I mean…I've never seen anything like you before."

"Digimon."

Kyrene blinked in surprise. "…Digimon?"

"Yeah. Never hearda one?"

Kyrene shook her head.

Impy rolled his eyes, belched loudly, then continued eating.

Kyrene giggled and stood up. "I'm going to go get the pizzas now. That is, if you're still hungry."

"Yesh!" Impy nodded vigorously.

"You really should slow down, though. You'll give yourself a tummy-ache. Or worse."

"Oh, shut up. I'm just fine. Now get me that pizza!"

Kyrene left the room. She went to the kitchen where Chinchi was cutting the two pizzas into slices.

The twenty-six-year-old woman had red-brown hair put up in a bun and green-brown eyes. She wore a light grey t-shirt, khakis, and an apron with "Kiss the Cook" across the front in bold black letters She looked up when Kyrene walked in. "I was just about to send Jeran up with your food."

"Thank you, Mrs. Terisagi. I'll take it from here, if you don't mind." Kyrene said as she picked up the plates of pizza.

Chinchi smiled. "Not at all. I've just started on dinner and the snacks for the party later."

"Thank you. They'll be here soon, won't they? Are you three going out for awhile?"

"And leave you here by yourself?!" Chinchi said, horrified. "I think not! We have not left you unattended yet, and are not starting now! What would you're parents say if we left you to run the house full of rambunctious teenagers? They'd have a cow!"

Kyrene smiled and sighed. "Alright. Well, I'll be in my room. Tell me when they get here, please."

"Will do, sweetie!"

Kyrene hurried up the stairs, taking them two at a time, and went into her room.

Impy had already finished off all the food and all but half of the second bottle of sake, which he was still guzzling. He set the empty bottle down and looked up at Kyrene as she sat down on the bed, setting the plates down in front of him. "Finally! You're sucha slowpoke." He picked up a slice of pizza and bit into it.

"I'm sorry." Kyrene said quietly.

Impy waved his paw dismissively, not bothering to pause with eating.

Kyrene picked up a small slice of pizza and nibbled on the end. "So, um, Impy. How did you get hurt?"

Impy paused long enough to say, "None of yer damn business!" Then went back to chewing.

Kyrene was slightly bewildered and sad at the tone Impy had used but continued to eat quietly.
