New Light

Chapter 1 – First meeting

Summary: After saving both the Digital World and Reality from the deadly crisis, the twelve Digidestined kids' memory were clear off and each leads their own life, having not the scantiest idea about their past. But being as it is, Destiny did not forbid them from meeting one another and learning more about each other. Everything than occurs from now on is because of necessity, even if it were to be repeated in 100 years from now on; it is inevitable.

Notes: Yet another first attempt on a fic that I would never thought I would have write. So please give me full support. Thank you. And this first chapter is mainly told by Hikari's point of view.

I'm Hikari Yagami, your typical 'girl next door' who could be quite introverted at times but cheerful and talkative most of the times. This is a story of me and my life, so don't expect anything much from this as it could (I said 'could') be downright plain and dull but I'll try to make it sound as interesting as possible.

The first day of the second semester was finally here so you can imagine how nervous I was when I first stepped into the campus. Having to switch into a different world in such haste with such limited time, it was pretty hard for me to cope up especially when I have missed the first semester of school. And to tell you the truth, *leans closer* I'm not a very bright girl. But I'm at least proud to declare that I've never fail any subject yet.

And as I stood on the pavement near the main gate, cars were pulling in and out from the colossal parking lot, giving me an evanescent feeling of destitution. BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes and practically all those a-lot-to-be-name fancy cars whizzed passed me but one particular car caught my attention, a stunningly grand convertible red Porsche. Along with it came a plume of dust, hurled by the wind…swish… and settled on my newly bought skirt!!!

I went completely ballistic and without any second thought, I jumped onto the road with arms wide spread, commanding him to stop. I was incredibly jittery about my uncivilized action but I stood my ground anyway, hoping against hope that the driver would least have some senses in him and he did for the Porsche came to a screeching halt in no time.

"Get your ass out of here!!!!" A fumingly imperative and not to mention angry yell was thrown at me and it seemed to reverberate through the whole campus and caught severe attentions from the nearby students. I watched him from the corner of my eyes and just when I was thinking of apologizing for my childish behavior, my face contorted into a deeper expression of anger.

 Even if the world is coming to an end right now, apologizing is not an alternative that I will choose.

"Excuse me," I piped. "But I believe that you don't own the road. It's public. I have every right to walk anywhere I want, anytime I want. You can't stop me."

The guy eyed me with an irritated look and I could have sworn a nerve was grated somewhere within him. Our eyes met…

…and for a moment, just for a moment, I felt a massive spasm of recognition. Words failed me that very moment.

  Dai…Dai…

  And then –

 "Careful young lady, you might trip over something if you don't watch where you're going," a voice broke off behind of me and a pair of warm hand held my shoulder. I paused and turned, finding myself staring into an endless void of blue. Silence stretched among both of us and my anger slowly subside into nothingness.

I was jolted by the abrupt thought of 'I know him, I recognize that voice…' knowing too well that we've never met before, be it now or my previous life. Or have I? Now, where did the thought come from…?

"Sorry for bumping you like that." I managed to choke those words out with utmost difficulty, only to hear a mere squeak coming out from my mouth.

"No prob." He grinned. "By the way, I'm Takashi Takeru, first-year freshman," he chirped, extending a hand out.

"Ya –"

That was when I realized that there was another yet-to-be-deal-with problem behind of me.

"Hey, Taeki you know her?"

"It's Takeru, and no, I'm just getting to know her." He grinned. I blushed.

That blue haired guy quirked an eyebrow. Urghh…he sure has bad taste, I silently concluded.

"Aren't you supposed to have your soccer meeting now, in the field?" Takeru asked after a moment of awkward silence. I was looking particularly hopeful too. Just get away from my sight, weirdo.

Now, here's the funny part. First, that – that blue weirdo was still aching his eyebrow at us but slowly his expression changed; from a mocking look to a what-do-you-mean kind of look and then ended up in a oh-my-gosh-I'm-so-dead look.

With that size of head, I wouldn't be surprised.

He took a quick glance at his Swiss watch before zooming away with his Porche into the campus compound at the speed equivalents to the speed of light. That was fast…

I sighed in relief and a sudden outburst of chuckles was heard behind of me.

"Don't mind him, he's a pretty forgetful person." You can say that again. "But he's overall a nice person with vicious temper at times."

I think I'm going to puke.

"I assure you." He continued when he saw the look on my face. "Say…I've never seen you around before. You're new here?"

"Uh-huh."

"Figures."

"…"

"I have some other activities that I have to attend. See ya 'round, Yagami-san. And – nice to meet you."

I gasped. How did he know? His discerned figure was already a good distance away yet my curiosity didn't stop me from doing the unthinkable stuffs like –

"HEY!!!!!!!"

Heads shots up and soon every single being in the campus were looking at me; probably wandering which idiot loses her brain today.

Takeru, however, read my simple mind and urged me to swivel my bag pack around and I understood him immediately. I had my tag pinned on my bag. And that was a big slap on my face. I'm obviously still asleep this morning.

"Gee…thanks a lot." I muttered.

*~*~*~*~*~*

I paced away leisurely but a voice halted me in midway. It was that girl again.

Boy, is she just blur or is she really absurb? I flinched slightly before reeling around and pointed on my bag pack, hoping against hope she would understand. God, people is watching…

And she looked liked she got the point –

There! Smart fella!

I feigned a smile and walked away quickly; only to realize – What the rush? I'm already late. All I wanted was to get away, real fast, from her…

*~*~*~*~*~*

Okay, there. Done with the first chap. Actually I've written this some time ago but never post it before. I'm just trying my luck if anyone out there who are really interested in this poor fic of mine. I'm sorry if the OOC-ness. Remember that they've lost their memories? This is just the beginning. More…yet to come.

Signing out,
