Author's Note: I have nothing to say here, except to congratulate myself on finishing a short story. Most of you may be familiar with my writing, but for those that aren't, let's just say that you should expect strange things. I'm always conscious and unconscious at the same time which, of course, leads to deadly results such as this story. This chapter will be pretty short, obviously, since it is only an introduction.

IN THE DARK

Chapter One: Prologue

By: UNKNOWN

Davis Motomiya straightened his jacket as he approached his friends. They looked over at him, smiling. He smiled back, then walked past them without another word. He headed into the restroom, looking into the dull mirror. He saw a medium tanned sixteen year old, with a spiky auburn afro, brown eyes, and a pair of goggles strapped around his forehead. Davis sighed as he ran his hand through his spiky hair, feeling that the gel had done its work.

After he pushed his way through crowds of people, he finally arrived at the cafeteria. He looked around and noticed T.K. and Kari sitting at a bench nearby. He jogged over, threw his backpack down, and took a seat next to Kari.

"Hey Kari, T.K.," he called.

T.K. looked at him. T.K.'s figure was the same: the deep blue eyes, long blond hair, and light skin. T.K. grinned.

"Where's your lunch? You're usually hungry by this time."

Davis cocked his head as he stretched his arms. "Not this week. I'm on a diet."

Kari giggled and Davis glared at her.

"What? You don't think I'm serious? Well, for your punishment, I think I'll take one of your fries!"

Davis leaned over and snatched a fry off her tray. He popped it into his mouth and chewed, apparently exploring the flavor.

"Tastes like cardboard and toothpaste," he remarked.

T.K. looked up at him and shook his head. Kari was still laughing.

Davis stood up and reached for his backpack. He put his arms on T.K. and Kari's shoulder and stuck his head in between. "I'll be playing soccer, if you guys want to call me."

T.K. returned to his lunch, a roll of sushi, and scratched his hair.

Kari looked back at Davis and waved. Kari had grown a lot taller since fifth grade. Her brown eyes glittered with laughter and she always carried a smile on her perfect face. Her hair remained the same; she allowed only the back to grow up to her shoulders and trimmed the bangs to just below her ears.

Davis ignored her wave unintentionally, and walked off to the soccer field.

After school, he jogged home and ran straight to his room. There, he boarded himself up as he rushed through his homework. Halfway through, he leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. The hind legs of the chair snapped, causing Davis to fall back and wham his head on the bed. After about ten minutes, he finally awoke and rubbed his head. Luckily, there was no blood but he decided to take a shower. Before he left, he turned on the computer, hoping to use it before he went to sleep.

In the shower, he kept running his hand over the bump. It was like something inside his skull had shot out and appeared in the back of his head. After he rinsed his hair, he stepped out of the shower and looked in the steamy clouded mirror. Water was dripping off of him like a waterfall, but he didn't care. He struggled to use the three mirrors to his advantage and get a glimpse of the agonizing bump. As he did so, his wet hand touched the plug nearby.

"Oh shit!" Davis cursed.

A jolt of electricity sent Davis crashing through the door, with nothing but his towel on. His muscles rippled and his eyes blinked quickly as he struggled to regain control of his movements. He slid through the open door of his room and hit the computer hard drive with the bump on his head. As he reached to feel the annoying irritation, electricity sparked out of his fingers and into his computer.

Nearby, his digivice began to beep loudly.

"Davis! Where are you?" It was Jun.

Damn it. I'm not going to let her see me like this. Davis struggled to get to his feet. His digivice still beeped noisily as a frustrated Davis ran over to it.

"Shut the hell up!" he yelled as he began to frantically push the buttons.

Suddenly, the computer screen and the D-3 began to glow a deep blue. A strand of what seemed to be data shot out of the screen and connected to the D-3. The data entered the D-3's screen and it burst forth, engulfing Davis with it. The data wrapped around him like a snake, covering every inch of his body.

"What the hell? Mom! Dad! Jun! Can anyone hear me?" he yelled.

The sphere of data grew smaller and smaller. As the edge of the sphere reached his foot, it began to turn translucent. The sphere kept shrinking until it reached his stomach. Davis felt the life being sucked out of him. His head felt hollow and his body did not respond to his movements.

Cody…Ken…T.K…help me. His head swerved from one side to the other. His eyes began to close as everything around him went black. Is anyone there? …Kari?

Jun opened the door, feeling a blast of wind shake her hair wildly. She looked around the room, seeing piles of paper scattered about the floor. The computer screen was on, flickering on and off. The sheets on Davis's bed were scrunched together.

Jun sighed. "Davis…you'd better not be trying to scare me."

She pulled off the sheets and looked under. She came to her senses and quickly searched the room, panicking. She opened the closet, threw out his clothes, glanced under the bed, and even began throwing open the drawers.

Davis was nowhere to be found.

Okay, that's the end of the prologue, unfortunately. This story is starting up nicely and I hope to earn it some fame! If you liked this story and would like to see the next, please review. It encourages me to write more when I see that people actually bother to read my stories. The next chapter will go further into the plot of the story and how Davis goes about his "new" life. I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible.
