Thank you dear!

Chapter 1

And it all started with….

It had started out as a nice day, nothing too interesting or adventurous had happened and Kagome could admit she was a tiny bit bored. She was getting tired of watching her family members play tennis. While it was great when you got to play, she was currently on the sidelines. Kikyo, her twin, and Miroku, her older brother, were playing against each other, while Uncle Nanjirou and her cousin Ryoma were going at it. Sadly, it looked like Ryoma was going to lose again, but that wasn't to terribly surprising, just frustrating. While two of her good friends were playing in the corner court, both of them were pretty good for their age, Neko was a really steady baseline player while Kage tended to… liven the court up with her zany antic.

She hummed softly as she continued to watch before her attention was drawn to her bag, the vibration of her phone loud and annoying. What was going on, what was that weird symbol in the back ground?

Kagome continued to blink at the text message, Would you like to start? Or not? Yes/No

What the heck, that was weird she didn't recognize the number, so why not? Yes

She smiled, all the while clicking the button, and nearly jumped when a voice replied. What the heck was going on? Higurashi Kagome. Your future has been decided to start the game.

Standing, Kagome let a small smile at this, it would be perfect, she had a feeling that this was going to be the adventure of a lifetime. Chuckling softly, she grabbed her things before rushing to her room, dropping her things on the floor. Kagome felt an excitement rush through her, it was going to be fun!

A small beeping could be heard, pulling out her simple phone Kagome's eyes widened. Get to the train from Jiyugaoka. At 5:45, it will leave for Shibuya.

What a weird sounding voice, she thought to herself pulling her mass of hair into a tight pony tail while grabbing her wallet, she was going to need it, right? Hmm, Shibuya was how much again? That's right about 900 yen. Grabbing an extra 100, she took off, it was about 5:30 now, if she ran the entire way she should get there on time.

Kagome yelped as she was grabbed from behind.

"Where are you going, Kagome?" Miroku asked all the while cuddling and snuggling his baby sister. He adored all of his younger siblings, but Kagome was more than likely his favorite, not that he would admit it.

"I'm going to meet someone, Nii-san. Kage and Neko are leaving after their game, so I thought I would go hang out with someone else." Kagome could literally feel the sweat running down her back, what was he going to do?

Miroku snickered, at 14 he knew all the trick of the trade and certainly all the lies. "You're answering that weird text message thing aren't you?"

Kagome blinked shocked… HOW DID HE KNOW ABOUT THAT?

Miroku snorted his laughter in her ear, "I'll let you go, just remember to tell me all about it, yah?"

Kagome pouted, she never got to keep ANYTHING to herself including this apparently, it just wasn't fair! "Fine, but if I miss everything, I'm totally blaming it on you. Ja ne, Nii-chan, be good!" Within seconds she was gone down the steps and out the door only her long black ponytail could be seen wiping side to side as she took off through the streets.

Miroku pouted, the only reason he was letting her go was because Kikyo said it was something she needed to do. And, as someone who understood and respected the arts of their ancients, when Kikyo divined something it needed to get done, sometimes trying to be a priest wasn't so much fun.

"Nee, did I have to let'er go?" Miroku pouted.

Kikyo snorted, "Yea, I saw it in the sacred flames. She'll be back in a few hours."

Miroku blinked in surprise, "A few hours?"

Kikyo smiled enigmatically, "Where she is going has a different time than we do. So, for her it'll be like she was gone for days or months, for us it's going to be a few hours."

Miroku sighed "Sometimes I think you like letting the rest of us walk into things." Eyeing his sister's face he almost ran away himself, he hated it when she got that I-know-something-you-don't-know look on her face. Oh well, he just hoped Kagome came home safe and sound.

O

Geez, he had to make things difficult, didn't he? Or at least try to, she ran into no less than SIX of her older brother's friends and they had all wanted to stop and talk or some stupidness. Why couldn't they just leave her alone! She wasn't interested!

Snorting at her own annoyances, Kagome could only smile as the terminal came into view. It was 5:41, she still had a few minutes to spare, they made her cut it entirely too closely… Blek.

Standing in front of the ticket machine, Kagome nearly jumped when she touched the machine and it simply spit her ticket out at her, what was that about? Maybe it was trying to start something…

Thinking it over, Kagome shook her head before hurrying up the steps and making her way onto the train to settle down on one of the seats. Kagome sighed as she leaned back staring up at the ceiling, it was going to be interesting to say the least. She nearly jumped when the door shut, and someone seemed to fall back against the door.

Wow, what a klutz. She didn't giggle but she thought it would be an appropriate thing to do, he was interesting to look at with his goggles and baseball cap, the simple t-shirt, jacket and capris.

That was when the ringing started. God, it was so annoying, it was like someone had set all the ring tones on loud and they had no intentions of stopping it!

Pulling out her phone once again, Kagome smiled in amusement, it was getting more interesting.

The underground train leaves at 6 pm.

Ohh! She couldn't wait to see what was going to happen!

O

Takuya sighed, things just weren't going his way. He'd managed to get his ticket and get into the train on time, and now it seemed as if things would be alright, thought he had to admit he was curious about the others here. It seemed as if a few others were going to be going to the same place as he was.

Looking across from him, he watched as a kid with long bluish hair pulled out a phone. Glancing at his own he nearly groaned, he'd just gotten here at 5:45 by a hair's second, how was he going to make it to the underground?

Staring at the others he found his gaze resting on a girl nearby, she seemed rather content and slightly amused with everything. Her hair was black and extremely long compared to the girls in his class, her eyes were a light blue, but it was her clothing that intrigued him. They weren't girly at all, just knee shorts that were white in color and a tank top that was a very light green color. Not only that, but she seemed to be older by at least a year or two ,or that's what he thought, she already had a chest starting.

Shaking himself from those thoughts, he gave a cry as he found the time. He was never going to make it!

O

Koji huffed, there was so much going on in his life and he wasn't really sure he could say he was all too happy anymore. His mother was gone, and it seemed as if his dad was bound and determined to make him like and respect his step mother. But he felt so confused and uncertain about it.

Then again, wasn't that why he decided to answer the call? Curiosity got the better of him and he for once didn't want to ponder over his parental problems. He'd gotten on the train with time to spare but it seemed not everyone was on time… at least compared to the intensive kid still sitting on the floor looking at everyone.

On the other hand, the girl sitting not far from him seemed completely okay with what was going on, then again when the brunette had flopped down on the floor she'd jumped a bit before eyeing him while holding back a laugh.

Although, he had to admit to himself that it was sort of amusing, the worse part about being here had been the mass ringing of cell phones, and for a moment had to wonder exactly how many people had gotten the message. And just how many had answered.

He had nearly smacked the boy when he'd yelled out, what was the point in that? They would get there when they got there, there was no point getting out of sorts about it.

Sighing softly he wondered, should he really be going?

O

Kagome stared the brunette down, what was that about? Really, there was no need to scream.

Sighing, she felt a few moments of relief as the train stopped, moving quietly but quickly she found herself following behind a boy with a bandana with blue tiger strips on it. His t-shirt was yellow with a blue sports coat and grey pants. He was pretty cute from what she'd seen on the train.

As her cell vibrated, Kagome raised an eyebrow before slowing down.

Good luck, Imouto-Chan,

Behave and don't get hurt.

Kikyo & Miroku

She smiled, before jogging a bit to get to the elevators, smiling lightly at the bluenette, she eeped before narrowly avoiding being smacked by the screaming brunette from the train. She glared lightly, watching as he fidgeted.

"Ah, did you to get one of this?"

"Hn," The bluenette responded.

"Hai, you need to be careful before you take someone's eye out," Kagome replied, her lips pursed lightly. She didn't like the idea of getting run over, even so she almost smiled when the boy blushed, but she managed to refrain.

"Sorry about that." The brunette replied, looking rather sheepish.

"It's fine." Kagome waved him off before looking up, they just went past the basement floor… her eyes widened as she looked out the window. Wow, that was a lot of empty space, and what a weird terminal.

Kagome sighed as the boy yelled again, "You know, you don't have to yell…"

Kagome almost cried she was starting to sound like her mother, looking around she sighed; now what train to get into?

You are on the final step. Do you want to get on? Or Leave?

'Get on,' she thought cheerily to herself, before finding the train she wanted, it was an odd looking one, light blue in color but it would work for her. Finding an empty bench, Kagome sighed before stretching out and catching a nap. The seats were pretty darn comfy, she thought to herself before drifting off into a nap.

O

Koji sighed as he stepped into the only train he'd seen for the most part empty, standing at the back rail he sighed as he stared at the brunette, opposite of him. The guy was odd, not in a bad way, just sorta loud.

Shaking his head he made his way through the compartments, it was quiet, the way he liked it. Disliking the seating in this particular compartment he continued to the next. What he found surprised him. It was the girl who'd been on the elevator, and apparently she had no issues taking some down time and enjoying a nap.

Shaking his head slightly he settled on the bench opposite of her and simply gazed out the window. While there wasn't much to see it was at least calming, Koji could almost feel his ears twitch as a breathy little sigh escaped her lips.

"Tou… san…"

Koji glanced over, what? He watched as she twitched and rolled over, he honestly didn't see how she hadn't fallen off that bench by now.

"Uhh, how long have we been on this train?" the girl asked, she was laying on her stomach while her hair seemed to fall all over the place.

"About an hour."

"Ah, any sight of land?" she asked.

Koji snorted, they'd been in the clouds from what he could tell.

"I'll take that as a 'no' then. Anyway, I'm Kagome Higurashi, nice to meet you."

"Koji Minamoto." He replied simply.

Kagome stretched upward, she was tired but extremely ready for just about anything to happen. Looking outside the window her eyes could only widen, she'd known things were going to be odd but they weren't riding on the ground, they were completely in the air save the track this particular train was running on. Up ahead of them was a large metal type area, pipes and houses shot fire and air from their stacks. Everything looked rusted except the terminal that they were riding into. It was strange, suddenly you could see a large green mountain like area behind the fire area… it hadn't been there seconds ago.

Koji got up, they were at a terminal, a large strange looking one at that, the outside was large and dome like and it seemed the inside was almost an exact copy

"Nee, do you mind if I hang out with you?" Kagome asked lightly, she didn't know why but she had a bad feeling all of a sudden.

Koji eyed her, she was different from the brunette, that was certain. But did he want to spend a lot of time with some random girl? Besides, she was just going to go off on her own eventually. Koji sighed, "Whatever."

Kagome simply smiled in response before hoping off the train. Blinking lightly she realized that the train was… alive. Of all things, it was alive.

Koji watched before stepping off himself, at some point during the ride the cell phone had changed, morphed into a new form.

Search for the Spirits, Koji Minamoto. Be careful upon this journey. The rest is up to you.

Kagome sighed, well that sucked, looks like she wouldn't be playing anytime soon. Oh well.

Koji frowned, "How do you know my name and why have we come to this world?"

"That's a good question, looks like whatever the objective is, you get to go first." Kagome sighed, the two looked at each other. This was going to be a long trip, extremely long she thought as the train they'd came in let out a load of stem before taking off.

Koji simply raised and eye brow as a strange type of pointing system appeared, might as well follow it, right, "You coming?"

She gave him a dull look, "Yeah," she looked around as they walked; it was a really strange town, wasn't it? The buildings were tall and largely built, but it seemed empty as if all the people or beings who'd lived here had simply disappeared or abandoned the place. The fires, though, were still burning, so that couldn't be, could it?

Two other children were running back towards the train station, one was tall and the other was small, both happened to be boys and extremely excited about something.

"What are they doing?" Koji asked.

"I'm not sure… They looked really excited, didn't they?" Kagome answered, a curious expression on her face. When she and Koji looked at each other, they could only shrug as an unanimous 'whatever' seemed to be the answer. The farther they walked the stranger things became, just as suddenly as they were walking in a steal jungle, they began to walk through a lush forest with little to no metal at all.

They had been walking for a while, when they came upon a large cave that simply screamed CREEPY in large bold letters. Kagome wasn't too comfortable going in, but she would do it anyway.

Koji could almost feel the girl fidgeting behind him, it was mildly amusing, but also slightly annoying he didn't know what he was thinking agreeing to letting her come along. She was going to be a burden.

Kagome sighed, it turned out that the "cave" wasn't a cave at all. Upon a closer inspection, she could see that the outside walls were made of metal sheets and bolts, the inside was unnaturally quiet and disgusting down here, she really should have just stayed at the top. That and it looked like the things were going to collapse from all the rust.

When something large started falling from the roof far ahead of them, Koji backed right into the girl standing behind him. It was odd, he really could feel her trembling, was she that scared? Listening, he could hear her muttering about the stupid walls collapsing from rust and how her brother would never let her live it down. It almost caused him to laugh, but he refrained, now wasn't the time nor place.

"SAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVE UUUUSSS!" seemed to reverberate throughout the cavernous area echoing off the walls and ceiling.

Kagome blinked as she hurried forward past him, what in the world?

Koji followed, curious.

Kagome scowled it was those weird things from earlier, and they were after two other kids. Jumping forward she squealed in delight as she slid down the large pole, an amused look on her face. She'd never thought her training would come in handy, Nippon Kempo was a hands on type of martial art, she should be fine with these stupid things.

Koji followed a smile on his face, this was what he was talking about. Breaking off the thin pole, both he and Kagome had slid down he smiled, Bojutsu was a great talent to have.

The Pagumon rushed forward, there seemed to be forty to fifty of the strange gray, puppy eared monsters. Koji immediately swung his makeshift pole in their direction, while Kagome rushed to a different area in a defensive stance.

Several of the Pagumon jumped or pushed themselves out of the way before regrouping just to find the long pole once again bearing down on them. The others found out that the joints of the human body were much more flexible than the Digimon had been expecting. Elbows and knees made sharp jabs disabling the small round monsters, the room seemed to echo their grunts as they were first smacked with the joints before being blown back into the wall with a small noise before passing out.

Koji swung again, this time sending himself into the air upside down on the pole, the Pagumon not going after Kagome swarmed him. Just as quickly, Koji's body slammed outward into the small bodies attacking him, several of the Pagumon were downed. Unfortunately, they were once again around him, with every swing two or three of the little annoyances were slammed into the wall by the long thick pole, before it was swung around again to repeat the process.

Kagome frowned; did these things like, reproduce every time one was put out of commission? She was huffing, tired and out of breath, her hands and knees hurt, she didn't know how many times she'd shoved her fist into a little gray haired menaces' face. Koji was, once again, being dog piled, before the pole hit one of the Pagumon in the ass, while Koji spun out hitting each of the Pagumon like a baseball.

As the puppy eared things were smacked across the walls, one was sent flying into the air. When it landed it was far from happy. So unhappy that something strange happened to it, it began to be covered in what looked like an extremely long and colorful bar code. As the code swirled around it, the shape changed a bit. When the code disappeared all together, a large sludgy type thing was in its place, apparently it was called Raremon.

It was positively the ugliest thing she'd ever seen, it looked like something out of a bad b-horror movie! Or something a retarded mad scientist would create; it was sludge like and a dark gray color. Rows of long sharp teeth could be seen running around the rim of the creature's mouth, gray metal plates held the eyes in place, while large plastic and metal tubing ran inside and outside of the sludge monster's body. It sorta had feet, but they reminded Kagome more of slime with large claws.

Kagome could feel her eyes widen violently, shocked and disgusted, just as quickly Raremon turned releasing a large amount of some toxic looking green liquid at the smaller boy and the larger boy.

Koji swore, dropping his make shift pole he rushed forward snatching the smaller boy out of the way. When the green liquid made contact with the ground behind them, it simply disappeared as if it was in contact with an incinerating beam. Every time Koji dodged or ran, a line of the green acid followed him until Kagome was forced to join him in the run, the acid was getting too close to home. Unfortunately, none of the older children noticed until Koji, Kagome and the smaller boy were huddled together in front of a large hole that was in the center of the floor.

O

Takuya felt his heart thud as he followed the screaming, watching the girl and boy he'd meet earlier had been interesting to say the least. The fact that they were now kicking those little gray things around happened to be interesting to watch. But when it changed, bad things had happened.

He could feel the terror rise up in him there had to be something he could do. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"

He could feel himself change becoming stronger, strong enough to help them. With a speed he could never achieve as a human boy, Agunimon rushed blocking the spray of acid.

Kagome could feel herself relax. Koji even put the boy down, they were getting ready to run when the worst thing that could happen, happened: the brunette di-evolved. Of all things, why did that have to happen?

When Raremon slung another ball of acid at them, several things happened, the brunette tackled the kid, knocking Koji off, Kagome reacted faster than she thought she could and grabbed the other boy's wrist, only to be yanked on to her knees.

"You okay?" Kagome flinched, god, her shoulder hurt.

Koji was wide eyed, that was really stupid on her part. Why… why would she do something like that… they had only just met each other!

Kagome swore as the floor began to give way, within seconds she was falling with him down a really long pit of doom, and she really hadn't wanted to die today.

Their fingers lost hold on one another, they both continued to fall, Koji was in surprise while Kagome simply had her eyes screwed shut as tightly as she could get them. There was a wolf in front of Koji, it had to be his spirit, lifting his digivice he smiled lightly as the spirit entered his d-terminal, a flow of power seemed to run through him.

"SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"

Kagome gave a startled cry when she was caught. She'd been closing her eyes, she hadn't wanted to see herself squished. Kagome peeked, before she gasped, opening her eyes wider she realized she was being cradled bridal style by an extremely tall being. Red eyes, blond hair, and a human face, the rest of him seemed to be covered in metal. What she did notice was the long blue toned scarf very similar to Koji's bandana. "K… Koji?"

Lobomon gave a sharp nod, before jumping upward carrying the small girl with him. After getting out of the never ending hole, Lobomon put Kagome away to face the monster Raremon.

On her part, Kagome was stunned; it was almost like watching Star Wars. Raremon shot another round of sludge, its green toxic mass speeding toward Lobomon.

Lobomon pulled something similar to a sword hilt from his belted side, his hand holding the hilt moved in a "Z" formation as a steady glow erupted from the hilt creating something akin to a light saber from Star Wars. This, on the other hand, was called Licht Seiger, once the weapon was fully extended, Lobomon rushed forward. Every time a mass of sludge was close to hitting Lobomon, his sword arm rushed forward to deflect or nullify the attack. Just as quickly, Lobomon shot forth into the air before landing laser sword first on top and through Raremon's head.

Raremon's head seemed to pulse and gush with purple fluid, while his eyes seemed to bulge even farther from his head than normal. Just as Lobomon removed his weapon, a rush of what looked like fractal code seemed to surround the creature, Lobomon pulled his Digivice from his side to push it forward, it's tip glowing like a burning ember, "Digicode Scan," the code moved as Lobomon swiped the digivice forward. Once the digicode was scanned an egg landed gently on the floor, and Koji de-digivolved.

"Koji!" Kagome cried, was he hurt? Why was he bent over like that? He looked exhausted, and he was huffing really hard as if he was having a hard time breathing. Hurrying she touched him, not really caring when he seemed to flinch away. "Are you going to be okay?"

The brunette and the little boy rushed over both asking the same questions.

Koji on the other hand was having none of it, "Don't touch me, I hate strangers touching me and don't thank me."

Kagome, of course, ignored all of those comments, "Nee, we'll see you later, right? What are your names, anyway?"

Koji glared, she was still touching him, then again he felt like falling over. "I'm Koji Minamoto, but we won't be talking a lot." A small scowl was running across his face.

"Takuya Kanbara."

Kagome smiled, "What about you, nee?" This little kid was soo cute!

Tomoki felt himself blush, "Ah… Tomoki Himi."

"Ja ne, then." Kagome waved lightly before rushing to catch up, the boy was an idiot! What if he was seriously hurt!

Kagome sighed, as she looked for the boy. When she finally found him, she smiled "Nee, are you really okay?"

Koji shrugged, looking at her out of the corner of his eye. "I evolved into a Digimon."

Kagome snorted, "Really, I didn't notice. But I have to say, things are getting really interesting, Why so harsh, Koji?"

Koji sighed, "Later."

Kagome snorted, wondering when later was going to be, "'Kay, are you really, at least, okay though? You worried me… it didn't sound like you could breath."

Koji looked down in surprise, "Yeah, it hurt afterwards… but I'll be fine."

She smiled, "'Kay, were to next?"

He just shook his head, "I guess that's up to you."

Kagome smiled, oh yeah, it was going to be interesting. She could have gone with the others but this was much, much more interesting. She wasn't sure why but she was drawing to the bluenette beside her. Sighing softly, she settled against the tree. "Later then, it's time for a nap."

Shaking his head he made himself comfortable, who knew what was going to come next?
