Hello, It's been a long time since I've been inspired enough to actually write and put up a story.. Sorry for any fans of mine! cricket, cricket ;

Anyhow, I sadly don't own Digimon ( ..) I wish I did. Sadly, I'm a poor college student trying to make his way through college, joy

Please rest, relax, and enjoy the story you're about to read. Any feedback is appreciated. So please review.

The story takes place in Japan, Takeru (TK) and Hikari (Kari) is currently 19, and in college. I plan to have a few of the other digi-destined involved. That's about it. I haven't entirely decided how everything is going to unfold. Daisuke will be coming up in later chapters, but I haven't decided whether Hikari will be focused towards him or Takeru as of yet. Sorry. Oh, for future reference as well, Takeru will be referred to as TK will be a nickname, majority of the people don't know his real name or else they just accepted it as TK. Only a few people will be calling him Takeru. As the story goes on, you'll see who gets to, and who won't. As for any other unclear things, just review or email me and I'll try to clear it up during next update. Thanks!

The young adult found himself in the middle of a wide field. He gazed around tiredly, realizing that he was alone. Feared gripped him. TK then started walking around, noticing it was getting darker. Panicking now, he opened his mouth to shout, but as soon as he did, everything went pitch black and he felt his body drop. He was plummeting downward.

TK woke up from his nightmare suddenly, completely soaked in a cold sweat. Still trembling, he threw his blankets off of himself and rolled out of bed, smacking his head on his night table. Groaning and holding his head, he got up and stumbled into the shower. Turning on the water, he stood in fron of the jets of water. Sighing softly, he began his daily routine and started washing his hair, slowly working his way downward.

By the time he came out, it was 05:50. He stopped trembling and went back to his room and got dressed, then went to the living room, flipped on the television, and laid on the couch. A comical anime series faded in, Full Metal Panic, something that would hopefully clear his mind. To his displeasure, the current episode was a rerun, the episode when Sousuke and Kaname were in the woods running away from Gauron's troops. TK abruptly turned the television off and glanced at his watch. It was 6:18. Sighing, he told himself it was too early to be bothering Kari. He thought about it some more, then a grin slowly crept up on his face, saying aloud, "Bagels!" He walked down to the local bagel shop and joined the daily commuters waiting in line for their morning breakfast. When his turn came up; he ordered his bagels, two onion with cream cheese and one onion with butter. Afterwards, he went to the closest coffee place, which happened to be Starbucks and ordered two white chocolate coffees and one black coffee. She was the one that got him somewhat addicted to white chocolate coffee. TK started heading up to Kari's home.

Waiting for the elevator to reach her floor, he began thinking about Kari and himself and the several years that they've been together. A smile always came to him whenever Kari was on his mind, especially when his mind was reminiscing their years together. Since they've started college, his mind has been drifting towards the idea of the two of them dating, but that'd bring their friendship to a whole new level. He usually tries shaking it out of his head as soon as he realizes it, saying to himself that she'd have no desire to date someone like him. His daydream was interrupted when the elevator doors opened and then he walked out and knocked on the apartment door.

Kari's father answered the door, "Good morning, TK, you're awake rather early..." He glanced at a nearby clock, it was almost seven. "Well, maybe not..." he corrected himself. "Good morning, Mr. Kamiya., is Kari awake?" Smiling, "Not yet, but you please come in, I'm not sure if she has a class today, but you probably should wake her up, just in case." Nodding, TK started walking towards her room, "Oh, please help yourself to a bagel and some coffee." "Thanks, I needed breakfast anyway. Can you tell her I went to work?" And then he walked out and said to himself, what a good kid.

Bowing as Kari's father left, he turned and gently knocked on Kari's bedroom door. No answer. He knocked a little louder. Listening closely, he heard someone stir. Sighing, he raised his hand to the door knob, his hand was shaking terribly. He took a deep breath, he's been in her room before, this shouldn't be any different. Or was it because she was possibly asleep. Slowly, he opened the door, then gasped when he looked inside. Inside was completely black, and his body started trembling terribly and he fell to his knees.

Weee, end of chapter one!

Please don't hate me because of the way I ended it, and don't forget to review I can't fix anything if I don't know anything is wrong!
