Hey! What's up? This is a little story I came up with a while ago, when I was bored. Me and my sister would often write little "notes" to each other, which were actually stories about different characters. Some of our stories were really good, and I felt like adding them. First, of course, I've got to edit it to make it make sense. Its a little disoriented, but it'll be okay by the end. If there's anything you don't understand, just write a review saying how bad it is, and I'll fix it. I promise!

Well, I might as well get it started. First, let me say a couple things. Like:

Disclaimer: I really, honestly, don't own these guys, or digimon, or any rights whatsoever, I just really fell in love with the characters.

Second thing I've got to say: The really strange things that I just felt like doing may be really ridiculous, and stupid, but I enjoyed doing them, and I think that you'll find that even though its really weird, its cool. So, don't like... get mad at me. I have to remind you, it was all written when I was bored, and just writing a story for my sister.

So here goes nothing!

Chapter One

The Kidnapping

Takato Matsuda was walking home from school. If he hadn't been preoccupied with thoughts about his mountanous load of homework, he would not have been surprised when his phone started buzzing in his pocket. He stopped walking long enough to pull his cell phone out of his pocket before continuing his walk home. It was vibrating loudly, and he frowned at it, annoyed. The vibrating had startled him, and he ususally didn't like to be startled. "What is it," he asked aloud, flipping it open and glancing at the screen. It was a text message from Jeri. His annoyed mood banished instantly and he grinned. A message from Jeri! That was always exciting! It didn't matter how many years it had been since he first told her he liked her. His feelings had remained the same, if not intensified as she had matured into a gorgeous, popular, 17-year old. Eagerly, he slowed his walk to make sure he could read the message, and not walk into the middle of the street while doing so.

"Hey Takato!" it read, "Meet me at the streetlight in front of the bakery. I have a surprise for you!" Takato nearly melted right there. A surprise? What kind of surprise? He hurried up, hoping he could get there faster. "I'm coming," he wrote enthusiastically. "What surprise?" "You'll see," was all she would say. It was enough to drive him crazy. He skipped down the road…almost…more like fast-walked, and wondered how quickly he could walk 23 blocks. Five minutes? Probably more like 30. Oh well, he'd get there.

A car screeched to a stop around the corner from him, and a shot rang out down the alleyway. The noise caught Takato completely off guard, and he froze, terrified. What on earth was happening here?

"Quit struggling with that thing, will you?" someone whispered loudly, sounding annoyed. He sounded dangerous too.

"Who are you calling a 'thing' huh?" someone protested. Whoever it was who had protested was silenced with what clearly sounded like a whack to the head with something hard.

"Shut up if you know what's good for you!" the first voice warned.

Takato knew he should probably do something. He knew he should call the police, knew he should go get help, but something…shock maybe…drove him to quietly walk forward to see what was happening. He inched forward walking toward the alleyway until he could see down it. What he saw transfixed him; he couldn't move, he could only stand there and watch like a dummy.

Two people, covered in what looked like ninja outfits were beating and tying up something that looking like a cross between a fox and a wolf. (Maybe just a dog with a foxtail and black-tipped ears.) It was struggling profusely, giving one of the ninjas considerable trouble. The ninjas were heavily armed, and were trying to bag the animal and stick it in their limo. Takato watched them dazedly, too confused to know what to do. By the time it occurred to him that he should get out of sight and call the police, it was too late. One of them spotted him.

"Hey," the ninja hissed, producing all kinds of weaponry ready to fire at Takato. "What are you doing over there?"

Takato gulped, aware that he was shaking. He couldn't move. The second ninja managed to bag the creature, and stood watching Takato as well. The first one continued talking. "Come here," he commanded, pointing his various weapons at Takato's face. Helpless, Takato stayed where he was. I can't move, his mind screamed. His knees buckled and he tried to remain standing. All thoughts about meeting Jeri at the streetlight vanished as he wondered if he would die here and now. What would happen if they killed him? Would anyone know?

Suddenly, the second ninja smiled through his mask. It was a fake smile. "Awe man," he said to his companion. "You're freaking the kid out with your dog-catching weapons. Come on kid. Wanna see the dog we caught? This little bugger's been raiding people's houses. They call us experts for complicated jobs like this one. Come on over, we wont hurt you."

Takato knew he shouldn't go near them. He lifted his cell phone slowly, taking a step away from them.

"I said come here boy," the second ninja insisted, a little more sinister now. He took a step forward. "Don't make me force you."

Takato shook his head silently, praying that they wouldn't shoot him. His thumb dialed 9-1-1…

Come here, the ninja commanded, this time sounding like he was inside Takato's head. Unable to refuse the order even though he wanted to, Takato walked forward. The first ninja used a knife to rid Takato of his school bag, and forcibly knocked the cell phone to the ground. Before he knew what was going on, he was gagged and bound, and thrust into the back of the limo with the bagged creature.

(-------------)

"Are you sure we should be kidnapping someone?" the first ninja asked as they hopped into the vehicle. He strapped the kidnapped kid into the seat and pointed a gun at his head. He probably didn't have to, considering the kid was so shocked he couldn't hardly breath. Still, he was a little on edge. The kid wasn't supposed to be able to see them.

"Are you kidding?" The second ninja cackled with satisfaction. The cackle was a little unnerving to all members of the party in the limo. "It's exactly what we need. With these digital shields, nothing can detect or see us. But somehow, he could. By the look in his eyes, he could see the creature too!"

"I was wondering why you mentioned it." The first ninja glanced at the kid, wondering. Could this kid actually see through their digital shields? The sheilds that were supposed to make them invisible?

"This kid may be the key we're looking for." The second ninja was unable to mask his delight under his black mask.

"How can you be sure? He was just a passerby! He could be anyone! Our shields could be malfunctioning."

"You know that's not true. Think about what the boss said…"

"Hang on, maybe we should knock him out. You don't want him hearing all this do you?"

"Good point."

The second ninja, sitting in the front seat next to the first ninja—who was driving—reached back and promptly knocked out the kidnapped boy.

(------------)

"All I heard was barking. You're saying the kid can understand this fox-dog thing?"

Someone is talking, someone I've heard before. Where am I? Ow my head! I remembering being kidnapped and knocked out... but where am I now?

"I read his mind. This creature can understand us, and talk back to us. The only way we can hear what it's saying is through this kid."

"So you read his mind when the dog talks, and find out what it's saying? Big whoop! Who cares about some stupid red dog?"

"I'm not stupid, stupid." A voice, that sounded like the animal the ninjas had kidnapped retaliated hotly.

It's that fox thing talking. The ninja's can't understand him…but I can? How can that be? He's speaking clearly...

"Besides," continued the fox's voice. "I'm more brown than red, and more fox than dog. And its not dog either. It's WOLF. So shut up and leave me alone. I'm trying to think."

Takato sat up and rubbed his head, opening his eyes. He was sitting in a metal cage, like a caged animal, with handcuffs chaining his left arm to the inside of the cage. How lovely. He looked around and blinked in surprise. He was in a room filled with cages, and most of them were full of animals. He caught sight of the fox, and then turned to see the ninjas sitting at a table playing cards. How typical.

"The reason this is a good find, stupid, is this. It means what the Boss said is true. That kid is a Tamer, and can understand animals. We can use his mind to trick animals into coming right into our arms!"

Takato blinked at the word Tamer, and memories of the time he'd spent with the digimon rushed back into his head. Wait... how do they know what a Tamer is? Who is this Boss? And what makes them think being a Tamer makes me able to understand animals? I mean, I know I can't. There's a dog that lives next door. I can't understand him... he frowned and listened a little closer to their conversation.

"But these aren't regular animals," the first ninja scowled. "One of them gave me a nasty burn, blowing fire out of its mouth! That stupid dog to be precise!"

"Yeah!" the fox barked loudly. "And don't forget I can blow fire on you again! And it's fox, not dog!"

Takato shook his head, trying to clear his fuzzy brain. If he stayed low and pretended to still be asleep, he could keep listening and gain information.

But he was too late.

"Ah, look who's awake," the second ninja, the one who seemed to be able to read minds, grinned and walked up to the caged. "You like you're new room?"

Takato said nothing. He was still afraid of what this man might do, especially now that he knew he could read and control minds. How that was possible, he had no idea. But he didn't want to find out any more about it.

"Well, you'll get used to it. And don't be afraid of me. I'm not going to use your mind just yet, without permission." The ninja cackled evilly and walked back to the table, leaving Takato to shiver quietly, wondering what on earth he had gotten himself into, and how on earth he was supposed to get out.

(------------------)

(Change of Character: To Kouji Minamoto. There was a time I thought you spelled his name as just Koji, but I quickly discovered my mistake. However, when I write notes to my sister, I still write it that way because it's easier. Heh heh. I'll write it correctly here for all of you fellow fans out there. )

Kouji Minamoto walked quickly down the street, not quite sure where he was going. Something had been bothering him. Lately, strange text messages kept arriving on his cell phone from untraceable sources, containing coded messages. And then, one day, his phone changed into his old D-tector, which he had almost forgotten what it looked like. This was shocking, but even more shocking when he found out that now he could read the encoded messages. What he found out from reading them was alarming.

Someone...several people infact... had been contacting him for help. Well, actually, the more correct way to say it would be some"mon" instead of some"one." Digimon were sending him messages for help. He couldn't understand it. Why would they be? was he needed once more at the digital world?

"That was so long ago," he mumbled to himself. "Six years ago in fact. I can hardly remember what it was like! Well, that's not true. I remember perfectly. How could I forget? But still...What am I supposed to do? All I'm getting are calls for help, and no clues. How am I supposed to help them?" he kicked a stone, and found his steps taking him toward the subway station that had once brought him to the digital world. Well, it was worth a shot, wasn't it?

He found himself standing in front of a sweet-smelling bakery, and stood under the lamppost, enjoying the smell. The wonderful smell of fresh bread and pastries was almost soothing, and took his mind off his troubling messages. He stood under the lampost, dreaming about the weekend, wondering if he should try to get together with Takuya again. It was then that he noticed the girl crying.

"Hey what's wrong?" he asked. Suddenly he blinked. "Jeri? Hey, don't you go to my school?" He looked at the girl crying in front of him and frowned slightly. This girl went to his school alright. She was one of the few people that everyone knew, but one of the many people Kouji usually avoided talking to. But he couldn't turn away from a sobbing damsel in distress.

"Oh, you're Takato's friend, aren't you?" she said angrily through her tears. "Well tell him I don't want to see him again."

Kouji blinked in surprise. Takato was also one of the people he knew, but didn't really talk to. Well, that wasn't true. He often found himself paired with Takato in group projects, since the two of them usually ended up in the same classes, but he didn't know him that well. At least, he wasn't one of the people that Takato called his friends. But everyone knew who he was. Everyone knew he was the guy who was in love with Jeri, but too self conscious or shy to ask her out. Curious to find out what had happened, Kouji crossed his arms and stared at her expectantly. "Why?" he asked. "What did he do?"

"He left me waiting for him for two hours!" Jeri practically shouted.

"And you're still waiting? Something must have happened! Did you call the police?" Kouji frowned at her suspiciously. If anything sounded suspicious to him, he just assumed that something criminal had happened. He wasn't always right, but he always acted on his suspicious to find out if they were correct or not before dismissing them. He decided to act on his sneaking suspicion now.

"No." Jeri looked unconvinced. "Why should I?"

"Because I know Takato," Kouji said, thinking that perhaps he didn't know him that well... "...and he wouldn't have kept you waiting if his life depended on it. He told his friend he'd die just to save your life." Kouji frowned. Why would Takato leave the girl he loved waiting unless something happened? Maybe it was just the fact that the help messages had made him really suspicious, but something wasn't right here.

Jeri half smiled, thinking about what Kouji had said. "He did once, almost die to save me." She wiped a tear from her cheek. "I just can't believe he'd forget and leave me here!"

"He didn't. What's his cell phone number?" Kouji was already on top of the situation. He knew that something had happened. Somehow, he just knew. He whipped out his cell phone...er...D-tector, shocking Jeri so much she could hardly give him the number. Kouji dialed it and waited. Somebody answered the phone.

"Hello, this is the police station. Is this the owner of the phone?"

Kouji choked. He may have been suspicious, but he had not expected to hear the police answering the phone. "No," he said finally. "This is the owner's friend. The person you're looking for has gone missing, and we can't find him." Jeri looked at him strangely, but said nothing to the contrary.

"This phone dialed 9-1-1, and was found lying open between Main St. and 52nd. We've been holding it. It wasn't a prank call?"

Kouji turned and gave Jeri a grave expression. "No Officer, my friend Takato Matsuda has been missing for two hours. Hey may have been kidnapped, and dialed 9-1-1 to get help."

"Do you have any evidence of this?"

"Not at the moment, but give me some time and I will." Koji hung up and turned to Jeri. "Go home Jeri. Takato's not coming today. I'm going to go look for him."

"But how do you know he's been kidnapped?" Jeri sobbed, freaked out. "That;s ridiculous! All you do is find out he's kept me waitint two hours, and now you just think he's kidnapped? Just like that? That's stupid! What proof do you have?"

"I just know." Kouji flipped through his help messages until he came upon one he was looking for, and read it. This was the message that had been the most disturbing. It simply read: "They've captured one of us." He had recieved the message about an hour ago, after Takato went missing. What did that mean? Was Takato somehow connected to the Digital world? "Something told me that 'they've captured one of us' and now I think I know what it means." The words were out before Kouji had time to realize he was talking to someone who probably didn't understand. "It means someone has captured either a digimon or a digidestined, and now I know which one. If you'll excuse me."

He ran away like lightning to the site of the kidnapping, looking for clues. Ten minutes later the police came to help. They were not excited in finding out that Kouji's suspicions were more than just a hunch.

They was true.

"But where did they take him?" Kouji mumbled to himself. Time to start looking.

(---------------------)

"I don't get it," Takuya Kanbara mumbled. He stared down at himself as best he could, and groaned. "First, I start getting untraceable text messages. Then, my phone turns into my D-tector. Then, before I know it, Shinya starts playing with my D-tector, and this happens." Takuya stared down at himself. He was a fox with some wolf traits, somehow, that could blow fire. He was a digimon. "This is my beast form or something?" He remembered once upon a time turning into Flamon while he was spirit-evolved in the human world. But now this had happened when his brother had begun to mess with his D-tector. Did his brother somehow manage to make him beast spirit evolve? "I don't think so," he thought to himself. "I would have felt that. That's a little more painful than regular spirit evolving... and besides... I don't think its even possible here. I mean, this world isn't digital, and I don't even have the spirit of Agunimon anymore. So how in the world did this happen?"

He tried desperately to get out of the cage, complaining loudly for a long time, and finally gave up. "This is hopeless!" he concluded. "How on earth am I supposed to get back home? And my head hurts. What did that guy hit me with?"

"Would you quit complaining?" a cat hissed at him. Takuya blinked in surprise. The cat had fiery fur and three tails. WEIRD!

"Sorry," he mumbled. Unsure of what else to say. He shut up for now.

"Thank goodness," the first ninja grumbled. "That noise was getting annoying. What's he doing, trying to bark us to death?"

Takuya growled in annoyance, and wished he could get out. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He was stuck…..for now. Who knew what might happen next?

"I wish Kouji was here," Takuya sighed. "Kouji would probably know what to do. I always end up to be the stupid one in the end. I wish I'd just grow up."

"Yeah me too." The cat curled up in her cage and tried to sleep, snarling at Takuya in the process.

"Watch it, feline," Takuya grumbled quietly. "I wasn't talking to you."

"Who were you talking to then?" sarcastic

"Myself. Now leave me alone and I'll leave you alone." (why did he hate the cat so much? This was so weird.)

"That's a sign of insanity you know…talking to yourself..."

Takuya blew fire on the cat, barking shrilly. The ninjas had to whack him with something to shut him up.

"What's wrong with me?" Takuya thought anxiously. "I'm turning out to be just like an immature digimon!"

A sudden thought stuck him, and he wished it would go away.

Maybe that was exactly what he was at the moment.

(----------------)

Well, that's all I've got at the moment for you. My "notes" to my sister were often short, and written with days or weeks in between them, and sometimes I have to change the story so that it makes sense to you guys. I mean, it makes sense to us, but then... you guys have to understand too.

Oh! Wanna see something funny? Haha! It's hilarious, but its also kind of embarassing. See, when I would write notes to my sister, she would write little "comments" on the notes in a different color font, kind of making fun of my story. Sometimes, her comments are so good, we can't stop laughing. Would you like to see part of the original note, with the ridiculous comments, just to see how she can twist the story into ridiculous fairy tales or sarcasms that are...well... awesome? Cuz if you do, just let me know with a review or something. If you guys really want to see it, I'll put it at the beginning of the next chapter. I kind of have to find the next chapter though... so hang on for a bit!

I hope this isn't too stupid to read. Thanks for taking your time to read it anyway! Tell me what I need to fix to make it clearer!
