Fiction Rating: T (some language, violence, blood, and a mild, sexual scene)

Disclaimer I do not own Digimon (Duh!). I'm not totally sure who does own Digimon, but I think it's Bandai...or somewhere...around those lines (if I'm wrong, I'm sorry; I really am).

Author's Note: Slight AU ('alternative universe'...or whatever it's called). This takes place during season one of Digimon (sort of during the episode: Gateway to Home) but now a new sinister plot is added to this whole story; and it will change a young woman's life forever... Please read and review! This is my VERY first digimon fanfic., and I really would appreciate feedback on how the story is. I know this chapter sounds lame, but I just wanted all the readers to know about the girl who Myotismon -- nevermind; I don't want to spoil it for you.


The sequel to In The End: In The End II: The Darkness of Reality, is now up!


Chapter One:

The Beginning

Kyle had never really cared for the show Digimon, but when she was younger, she would love to watch that show everyday. As years went by, she gradually lost interest in it. She never lost her love for cartoons though, it's just that Digimon lost it's touch. This girl had just turned eighteen not that long ago, but even so, she hates to act like an adult. Kyle is not like the other girls either. She despises wearing anything that reveals her skin, usually ranging from shorts to dresses. For some odd reason, she likes to be covered at all times, otherwise, she'll feel naked. Some people consider her somewhat of a goth, but she just doesn't see it. She does dress in dark clothes, but not as dark people or her friends would think.

Even though Kyle lost some of her interest in the Digimon show, her younger brother, Eddie does. Eddie is a huge fan of Pokemon and Digimon alike, and has the cards, toys and videogames of them all over his room! He often spends his time in his room playing with these things, so he didn't have many friends, but that didn't bother him that much; he mostly hung around his sister, which mostly bothered her since she likes privacy.

The hour was late right now for these two children, but Kyle didn't mind it much as long as she was in her room and not the living room. Eddie happened to be in Kyle's room as well; sitting on the floor as usual, for his sister hated other people on her bed. As Kyle watched The Batman on TV, Eddie was playing with one of his Gameboy games. Since Kyle's bed was leaned up against the wall, she had her back lay against it. One would expect her bedroom to be full of death-like things, or floors and walls to be black, but that wouldn't be true. Kyle was a terrific artist, and most of her artworks covered the walls; and her rug was blue, not black. Her bed had beautiful pink flowers on it too.

"What time is it?" Eddie asked, never taking his eyes off of his game.

Kyle's eyes slowly shifted to her small alarm clock on a coffee table. "It's going on 9 o'clock. We'll have to go to bed soon, so we don't wake up late for school or nothing."

Eddie groaned for he knew he would have to quit playing his game soon. "I wish we didn't have to go to school tomorrow," he grumbled under his breath, "I wish we could go somewhere else."

"Like where?" Asked Kyle, looking down at her brother.

Eddie leaned back against the bed, "I don't know, how about Pokemon!"

Kyle rolled her eyes and relaxed herself even more against the wall. "Oh boy, Pokemon!" She said sarcastically, "Just love those dumb little creatures!"

Eddie looked up from his game and to the sarcastic sister of his, "What about the Digital World?"

Kyle raised an eyebrow, "The 'Digital World?' You mean Digimon -- please!" She snorted with some laughter, and then spoke again, "Like I would want to go there too! I'd rather go to school!"

Eddie quickly looked away, but then he turned to Kyle again with a strange grin forming on his face, "Can I ask you something?" Kyle merely shrugged, in an odd gesture of yes. "If you had to choose to go to Digimon or Pokemon, where would you go?"

"Do I have to answer?" Kyle asked somewhat depressingly, but when she saw that strange curiosity on her brother's face, she rolled her eyes once more and answered, "Fine... I guess Digimon."

"Why Digimon?" Eddie wondered a bit curiously.

Kyle grunted, "I don't know, Ed; maybe because I don't like Pokemon, but then again, I don't like Digimon either..."

"Then why--"

Kyle looked back at the alarm clock and glared at Eddie angrily, "Maybe it's time for bed now, and besides that, you're really starting to bug me with these weird questions!" Eddie sighed sadly as he got up from the floor and slowly made his way out of Kyle's room. Kyle felt bad for being a little hard on her brother, but she was getting annoyed by questions that she really didn't want to answer. "You better brush your teeth!" She called after him.

"Ugh! Would you? "Eddie hollered back angrily.

Kyle sighed and laid on her back. As she starred at the ceiling, she wondered what it would be like if she and her brother were to go to the Digital World, but she knew she wouldn't have to worry about that. "What are the odds of ending up there anyway?" She said to herself, and got up from the bed to change into her pajamas. Kyle would think that going to the Digital World would be very, very, very, very, very, very slim, but it actually wasn't very slim at all! The two children are about to discover a whole other world... just waiting for them behind their closet door...


Author's Note: After reading this chapter again, I realized saying "behind their closer door" sounded extremely corny, like they were going into the world of Narnia or something. Well, they're not. This isn't The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe here; this is a Digimon story, so please don't compare me to the other book. It isn't related to Narnia at all.
