DIGIMON: SUNSET'S KEEPSAKE
PROLOGUE
A girl with three powers,
A life with two chances,
A mission.
A destiny.
And...
The battle...
It all begins...
Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
Normal POV
Somewhere, a heated argument was happening between a middle-aged woman and a young teenage girl.
"I can't believe that you're still doing those bullying! When in the world are you ever going to stop, Yuyake?!" shouted the woman at the girl, whose name is Yuyake.
"L-like I said, I didn't do it! It's all a lie!" retaliated Yuyake. 'Why aren't you believing me...'
"You think I would believe what you said? Everyone's pointing their fingers at you! What evidence do you have to prove yourself?!" the woman answered Yuyake's statement back. "From now on, you are grounded. I don't want to see any more disgrace from a troublesome girl like you!"
Feeling grieve-stricken, Yuyake lost all control of her emotions and tears ran down her face. Without hesitation, she ran up to her room and locked it, ignoring the angry shouts lingering in the living room.
"Why? I... can't believe it..." Crying while moving from her place slowly, Yuyake packed her things into a small pouch. "She... doesn't believe me... at all... like... the others..." That was all she had said before she, once again, drowned herself into tears. That night, she made a decision.
And...
The night she ran away was the night that gave her true fate.
Outside - Late night
Yuyake's POV
I ran away. I finally ran away...
"I hate them... I hate them!" was all I could say to myself. I have a hard time with my life. Ever since a certain accident, I moved to Shinjuku with my mom and dad. Everything was going well until my class had a new transferee. The transferee was kind at first but then she became the source of my despair. I was bullied by her and her gang from my class. Even though I already consulted to the teachers, the bullies would accuse me of harassing them. Despite the bruises and scars on my body, the teachers would always believe the bullies. As a result, my whole self-esteem dropped. My smiles turned fake. I had very poor grades. I couldn't do gym well. I cried every night alone in my room. Eventually, I became a no good student
As if that wasn't enough, the transferee made herself fake bruises every day and accuse me for the cause of it. I was grieve-stricken. The teachers ended up believing her and called my parents. Soon, I also got scolded at home every now and then. It couldn't be helped. I was the cause of the accident we had in Shinagawa when I was six. My brother died in a car accident after trying to save me from a gang fight. It was the worst nightmare I ever had. Because of that, my ties with my parents was completely shattered and I could never bring myself to ask forgiveness from them.
I stopped my train of thoughts because I knew that it was no use dwelling on my problems. 'I'm going to escape from it. After all, I'm no good. I can't face it at all...' Those were my final thoughts. Soon, I reached a park. I took a rest at a bench, trying to rethink of my decision. Suddenly, I heard a mysterious voice in my head.
'Come... We need you.'
"W-what? Who's there? Come out!" was the only thing I said to reply the voice.
'The Digital World is in danger...'
"The... What?" Without a warning, a bright light shone from me. I covered my eyes from the light. "Huh? What's going-" My sentence was cut off as I dropped into a mysterious portal under me. "AAHHH!" I shouted and with that, the portal closes, leaving no traces behind.
?, Morning - Tropical Jungle
Normal POV
"Ugh... That hurts..." Yuyake gained consciousness and looked around. "Where am I...?" As she scanned her surroundings, she realized that she was in a tropical forest. "Wow! It's so... tropical." Not long after she said that, she heard voices coming towards her. Yuyake, following her animal instincts, quickly hide under the nearest bush.
"I wonder why we were sent here..." From the bush, Yuyake saw a shy purple creature quietly talking to an orange cat-looking creature. "Well, maybe she's finally here! I'm excited!"
'What the...?! What are they? Are they here to hurt me? What am I going to do...? I have to get away fast!'
Yuyake quickly attempt to make her escape and get away from the two creatures. (A/N: Note the word 'attempt'.)
"Hey there!" The orange creature spotted Yuyake under the bush and greeted her cheerfully. "Eep!" Feeling shocked and scared at the same time, Yuyake let out a loud shriek. "Don't worry. We won't hurt you..." said the shy purple creature. "E-eh..? What are... I mean... Who are you?" asked Yuyake with hesitation as she stuttered, trying not to say the word 'what' to describe the two talking creature
"Come on! No need to be shy! I'm Coronamon! Nice to meet 'cha!" The orange creature, now known as Coronamon, replied with a chuckle. After that, the shy purple creature also quietly answered, "My name is Lunamon. We're both Digimons. Pleased to meet you. What is... your name?" If one has bad ears, they wouldn't be able to hear what the purple creature, now known as Lunamon, have said. However, Yuyake heard the introductions clearly. Then, she realized that she was asked by Lunamon and answered the two creatures.
"I'm... My name's... Yuyake. Katami Yuyake." Yuyake answered. "Nice to meet you too." After Yuyake finished introducing herself, Coronamon surprised her with his cheerful tone and said, "Really?! You're Katami?! Katami Yuyake?! Lunamon! It's her! It's really her!" With confusion, Yuyake looked at both of the two intriguing creatures and waited for them to answer her unvoiced question.
"Our Tamer... We... We finally found you, Katami..." Lunamon replied with a shy smile. "T-tamer? What's going on?" Yuyake was stunned with the sudden statement and was pulled away by the two creatures. "Come! We need you to follow us!" said Coronamon.
"W-wait! Where are we going?!"
"To somewhere special." If Yuyake was just imagining things, she could have sworn that she saw the sparkles in the eyes of Coronamon and Lunamon.
'Have I got no choice...?' was all Yuyake could think of before she was dragged towards her new mysterious journey.
? - Mysterious place
Normal POV
Somewhere, an unknown entity was watching over Yuyake, Lunamon and Coronamon.
"It all begins, Katami Yuyake..." With that, the entity disappears...

Konnichiwa, minna. It's been a very, very long while. Please let me apologised for putting my Digimon story on hold for such a long time. Some of you might have grown beards by now. :P
Good news for me is that I finally finished my exam. Hm... Just waiting for the results, which I'm kinda terrified of. :P But even though I'm done with it, I still have problems with my writer's block so updates will be quite slow. Maybe not the beginning part since it's just rewrite but I'll put it slow first so that I have time to write the new ones. :)
Anyway, in case any of you are wondering why I put this story as 'new', let's just say I decided to rewrite it, give it a new feel with the name callings and maybe fix the beginnings a bit. When I re-read the old one, even I was a bit confused so I decided to fix it a bit.
Forgetting my rambles aside, I hope that my old readers of the Sunset's Keepsake will still continue to follow this new version. You guys can unfollow the old one. I only put a notice to say that there's the rewritten version. Ja... I hope you guys can still review and comment on your thoughts again, even if it's the rewritten chapters. For now, thank you for waiting, minna.
Ciao~ ;)
