Kirin walked through the desert, completley alone. She did not know where she was exactly, or how she had got there. She was nowhere near any civilization, but still seemed to stay calm. She fingered the candy bar that she kept in her pocket, but knew she should save it for when she was truly hungry.

"Argh, I hate the heat." she groaned, thinking that no 15 year old girl should trudge through such a place. Up ahead she she could see a figure in the sand. At first she thought it was an oddly shaped rock. Until she saw it move. On closer inspection, she recognized the form as a human being. until, of course, she saw the tail. The odd figure struggled to push himself up off the ground, but fell back onto the ground.

"Are you alright?" Kirin asked. The being turned, whipping his tail in warning. Kirin did not move, simply staring down at the figure.

"Not really." he said, flopping back on the ground. He glanced up at her. "What, ya just gonna stand there, or are ya gonna kill me already?" His stomach growled. Kirin still silent, pulled the candy bar from her pocket and unwrapped it. She knelt down at his side and slid the chocolate into his hand.

"I'm not going to hurt you." she said. The being looked to Kirin, then to the chocolate bar. His eyes widened when he took a bite of the candy. He shoved the rest of it into his mouth, swallowing it nearly whole. He looked back up at her.

"I'm Kirin. Who are you?"

"Beelzemon. Ya have any more of dat stuff?" he asked. Kirin smiled and handed her the only one she had left. He downed it and pushed himself upright.

"What happened to you?" Kirin asked, her large green eyes matching his own emerald ones.

"I haven't eaten in days. I crashed my bike. It skidded somewhere around here. My guns are god knows where, so I'm nearly totally defensless. I have no money, nowhere to go, and to top it all off, I'm eating out of some human kid's hand."

"What are you exactly?"

"I'm a Digimon, dumbass. Ya haven't been here too long, have ya?"

"Where is here exactly?"

"Why do you ask so many questions? Damn!" He fell back onto his back, his arms sprawled out.

"I'm soooo hungry." he groaned. "If you bring me food, I will help you get home. That's watcha want, right?"

Kirin nodded. She turned and headed to an empty resteraunt she passed about a mile back.

She entered the resteraunt quietly, looking around for anymore of these "digimon" things. She crept behind the counter and into the kitchen, picking up a bag of what looked like beef jerky. She grabbed what looked like a giant cherry with blue streaks, along with a basket full of assortment of foods, and crept back out before anyone could see her, and headed back to Beelzemon.

Kirin dropped the basket into Beelzemon's lap, smiling.

Beelzemon looked up at her then back at the food.

"How'd ya pay fer dis?" he asked, biting into a piece of what looked to be beef on a stick. The smell of the food was making Kirin hungry. Beelzemon took the odd orange and blue fruit from the basket and tossed it into her lap.

"I'm true ta my word. I'm gonna getcha home alive, and that means feedin' ya." he said taking another bite of the meat. Kirin bit into the odd fruit. It was sweet and crunchy, like an apple, but with a lemon like after taste that made her pucker her lips. Beelzemon laughed.

"Ya know, kid, ya ain't half bad." he said starting on his fourth meat stick. Kirin smiled.

"Your not so bad yourself." She grinned.

This was the start of a beautiful friendship.
