The Wanderer


Chapter 1: Meeting



For some reason I couldn't get this idea for a story out of my head. So, while I am working on my other story I typed this one out and I have to say that I liked how it turned out. Hope you take the time to read it.


???'s POV...

The forest was dark and gloomy without any sign of life within it. It was as though it was reflecting what I was feeling on the inside. A lone traveler without a place to call home and hardly a yen to his name just wandering the lands the lands hopefully to find the man he search of the person that I seek. Until then I will remain a person on his own.

I continued on through the forest with no problem until I faintly heard some commotion further down the road. Paying no heed I continue on. But as I got closer I saw that all the commotion was a group of around six bandits that were trying to rob from what seemed to be three people that had to be around my age. Two of them were girls, one with brown short hair and other had blonde hair that went down to the middle of her shoulders. Both of them wore simple kimonos with the brown hair girl wearing a light pink and the blonde wearing a purple one. The other person was a boy with wild brown hair and wearing a red men's style kimono.

He was in front of the two girls and was swinging a broken tree branch in front of him in an attempt to protect him and the girls. Unfortunately it didn't help as he was quickly knocked to the ground. Not being able to stand by and watch any longer I decided it was time to even the odds a little.


Brown Hair Girl's POV...

"Leave him alone. He didn't do anything to you." I yelled as one of the bandits knocked my friend to the ground. "Silence you wench. Just hand over your valuables and we might let you live." All around us all the bandits had drawn out or were in position to take out their weapons and they seemingly were willing to use them if necessary. "I will tell you again, hand over all your valuables or we'll take them by force if we have to." voiced the apparent leader of group as he began to step closer to us. "I think it would be wise if you leave them alone." said an unknown voice.

Coming out of the darkness was a boy who was probably around our age with long brown hair with the front of it covering his eyes and the back going down to the top of his shoulders. He was wearing a black men's style kimono with a white shirt underneath and white loose fit pants that were tied to a black sash and brown sandals. But what caught my eye was that strapped to the left side of his waist was a sword in a sheath.

Solemnly he walked until the bandits were between him and us. "What is this? Some kind of hero trying to save the day?" "It would be wise for you to take your comrades and leave without incident." "Leave? Why should we leave? If you haven't notice their are six of us and only one of you. Their is no way that you can take us all on." Giving the signal one of his men went up to the stranger. "You heard the boss. Their is no way you can beat us. But I think we will consider letting you go if you hand over your sword." The bandit leaned over to grab the stranger's sword but right when he was about to grab it the stranger grabbed onto his arm and pulled him towards him which caused the bandit to lose his balance and allow the stranger to deliver a chop to the back of his neck which made him lose conciseness.

This caught all of us off guard since the stranger was able to strike down one of the bandits in one blow. "You'll pay for that. Surround him and attack on my mark." Following order the four over bandits surrounded the stranger. "Do you have anything thing to say before we kill you?" Lifting up his head up for the first time since he appeared the stranger looked at his opponents who had him surrounded then looked back at their leader. "Their is still time for you to leave before anyone else has to be hurt." This seem to infuriate the bandit leader further. "Attack him and don't stop until he stops breathing."


The Stranger's POV...

For a while none of the bandits attack until the one from my right ran forward with his sword over his head. Without so much as a word I reached for my sword and drew it out to block my opponent's attack just as the sword was about to make contact with my shoulder. Not allowing him time to recover I used my free hand to punch him in the gut. The force of the blow caused him to land on his back and pass out. I wasn't given much time to think about what I did as the remaining members came at me all at once. In within a span of fifteen seconds I walked through the bandits little circle. For them on the other hand, it seemed as though they were all frozen in place. But no sooner as I took two steps forward they all collapse to ground with no of them moving.

Turning my attention over to their leader I saw that he was incomplete shock at what I just did as well as the three people I was helping. "That's in possible. You couldn't possibly have beaten all my men in that short of time." In a stage of rage he raised his sword over his head and charged at me. Following his lead I charged towards him with my sword in front. When we were close enough to each other he slashed his sword downward in an attempt to take slice my head. I simply moved to the left and drove my sword at his chest. Gasping for air he staggered a few steps until he fell face first to the ground.

"Stupid fools. I gave you more than one opportunity to leave without trouble but you didn't listen. What a pity." Resheathing my sword I walked over to the three people that I saved to see if they were alright. But before I could say a word I was greeted by a slap in the face by the brown hair girl.


Brown Hair Girl's POV...

Amazing. That is all I could think of when I saw this stranger take down six men with weapons so quickly without so much as a scratch on him. But at the same time I was furious at him for taking five of the six men's lives from them. Then as he was walking towards us I couldn't help but slap him right across his face so hard in the face it left a red hand print on his face and a stinging pain in my hand. Turning his head back to look at me I thought he was going to do the same thing that he did to the bandits to me but instead he looked at me with a shocked look on his face.

"Damn, what in the hell was that for?" "How could you? What gives you the right to do what you just did?" "Uh, what are you talking about?" "I'm talking about you killing those bandits with your sword." "Oh them. Don't worry about them they're not dead." "Not dead? How could they not be dead, I saw you slash them with your sword?" "Why don't you go look at their leader and you'll see what I mean." Not knowing what he was trying to get at I walked over to the fallen man and turned him over onto his back. Once I did I noticed that he was still breathing and that their wasn't a single cut on him. Going to the other bandits I saw the same thing.

"What is this? How were you able to take them all down without cutting them with your sword?" "Simple. I just knocked them out with it. They will be sore for a while but they should regain consciousness in a few hours. Besides, even if I wanted to I couldn't kill them with this sword. Take a look for yourself." He then tossed his sheath with the sword in it to me which I caught. Taking out the sword I saw that the sharp side of the blade was on the wrong side. Instead of it being on the front side it was on the back. Putting the sword back into its sheath I handed it back to the stranger. "What kind of sword is this? I never saw one like it."

"It's a reverse blade. Now matter how much force you put in attack it couldn't kill a person." he answered as he put his sword back to his side. "Now why would you travel in at this time of day without any type of weapon to defend yourself?" "We were trying to get into the nearby town and we thought that going through this forest would be a shortcut. It was then that we were ambushed by those bandits. Thankfully you should up at the right time to save us. I don't know how any of us will be able to repay you for your bravery." "Don't mention it. I just did I thought was right. Now I will make my leave, farewell." Turning around he started to walk away.


The Stranger's POV...

Just before I could get far the girl grabbed my shoulder which stopped my from moving. "Wait. Why don't you come with us? I mean, it looks like you have no where that you need to go so why don't you join me and my friends?" I don't know what it was but I couldn't say no. "Very well. If you wish for me to accompany your group than so be it. By the way, what are your names?" "Oh, what are my manners. My name is Hikari Kamiya and these are my friends. The girl is Izumi Orimoto and the boy is Takuya Kanbara." I acknowledge each one of them with a nod and a handshake. "Now that I know your names I feel that you should know mine. My name is Daisuke Motomiya."

Of course their will be more DigiDestined from all the seasons will be in this story one way or another but just not all of them. If their is one that you want me to put in this story just tell me in your review and the reason why. However, don't ask for any of the digimon in this story.
