This is my first Digimon story, so I'm pretty excited. Which is kinda sad if I think about it!!

Anyway, it's a SoraxYamato story. The first chapter has no Sorato but the next will.

Also, it's AU. And people may think it's something that doesn't happen but in actual fact it really does. It's based on a true story - not mine but one of my friends - but only loosely. No I'm not publishing her life. And her mother isn't nearly as bad as Sora's.

Also, if anyone can tell me Sora's mothers name that'd be a really big help, I must say lol

Short Summary: Sora Takenouchi has taken care of her alcoholic mother ever since she was 5, when her dead beat father left them. But after moving to Odiaba, she meets some people who make her realise that at age 19, she has to start living for herself.

Full Summary: Sora's mother has never been the same since her father left when she was five. From the day he left, her mother began drinking and bringing home many different men, claiming each of them to be 'Sora's new daddy' although Sora notices a re-occuring pattern. None of her 'daddies' stay for very long.

Her life changes when she meets Yamato Ishida at Odiaba Community College. He begins to show Sora that she is, in actual fact, a 19 year old girl who needs to be selfish and take care of herself sometimes.

Characters:

Sora Takenouchi : A nineteen year old college student who has never really lived life. She prefers to spend her time at college or at work, anything to get her away from her mother and her 'home'. Whilst outside her house, she pretends that nothing is wrong and she is perfectly happy. Her natural personality is funny, friendly and outgoing but years of taking care of her mother has made her feel like that is a mask.

Yamato Ishida : A nineteen year old college student who believes that life needs to be made up of a mixture of structor and fun. He works at a music shop, due to the fact music is one of his greatest passions. He instantly becomes attracted to Sora and notices something odd about her, such as the fact she never lets him exit the car when he drops her off or picks her up. He's naturally charming and friendly.

Taichi Yagami : Also a nineteen year old college student, he believes life is made for living and he should enjoy every minute of it. He has been best friends with Yamato, who's now his flat mate, since they were 10, and always sticks by him. Although he's naturally confident and clownish, sometimes he feels over shadowed by his best friend who seems to have everything ; money, looks, brains ect. He may harbor a small crush for Sora but would never act upon it due to his comittment and friendship towards Yamoto.

Mimi Tachikawa : The bubbly girl who lives across the landing from Yamato and Taichi, with her parents. She has a small crush on both Yamato and Taichi, which means at first she dislikes Sora, but soon becomes friends with her.

Now! On with the story!!

Sora sighed as a she pushed open her front door, the sour smell of vomit mixing with whatever sweet alcohol her mother had been drinking. She kicked off her trainers and hung her jacket up on the coat stand. She walked towards the living room with a strange sense of dread mixed with normality. She knew what she would see. The same thing she had been seeing ever since she was five years old.
Yup. Her mother, passed out on the couch, a bottle of white wine in her limp hand and a pool of vomit close by.
She frowned looking around the room. At least 3 bottles of wine - red and white - lay around the room, drained of every last drop no doubt, along with a wine glass.

"Atleast she didn't start just drinking from the bottle." She muttered, picking up the empty bottles. "But that's because she has 'class'." She snorted the last word scarcastically before placing the bottles on the coffee table and picking up the wine glass, removing the bottle from her mothers hand whilst she was at it.

She moved into the kitchen and placed the glass in the dish washer before pouring the remains of the bottle down the sink, walking down the hall and opening the front door - only after collecting the other empty bottles as she went - and creeped down the path carefully. After all, it was already 11:30 pm, most people in this neighbourhood - a nice, clean and friendly neighbourhood - would have been asleep.

Disposing of the bottles in the trash can, she scurried back into her house to set about the regular routine. First of all she hoised her mother up and almost dragged her into her bedroom - which was thankfully on the ground floor - stripping her out of her stained clothes and putting her to bed, placing a bucket on the ground next to it. She grabbed a glass and filled it with water from the au suite bathroom and placed it on the bedside table along with two painkillers.

She then by-passed the living room to go into the kitchen, going under the sink and pulling out a plastic bag, a bottle of stain remover and a sponge, along with a can of airfreshner.

After cleaning up the vomit in the living room, she sprayed the house the with air freshner - apple and pine, she thought. How classy. - before placing everything in its rightful place and creeping up the stairs to her own room. She quickly changed out of the black shirt, skirt and tights she had to wear for her waitressing job down at Soft Rock Cafe, moved to her own au suite bathroom, turning the shower on and leaving it for a few moments to heat up.
As she climbed into the shower, she sighed feeling the hot water sooth her aching muscles, thinking back to what it was like before her Grandma died.

Sora had never really spoken to either sets of Grandparents, but they did always remember her at Christmas and Birthdays, putting money straight into her bank account - so her mother couldn't steal it for drink. Her Grandpa, on her mother side, had died 2 years ago, leaving her Grandma alone. Sora was ment to attend the funeral, but the sad occasion was just one more reason for her mother to get wasted and Sora ended up in hospital, watching her own mother having her stomach pumped.

Her Grandma had died at the start of the summer, in June, three months ago. In the will, she left Sora's mother her house - which was fully paid for thankfully, meaning Sora didn't need to worry about morgage or rent - but all the money had been left to Sora. She had to admit, her Grandma was a smart woman.

So at the start of August, three weeks ago, they had finally moved into the house in Odaiba- which was thankfully far enough away from Shibuya that no one knew her mother as 'the alcoholic whore'. Although with amount of men seen coming into the house at all hours of the day and night, and the amount of bottles that Sora had been seen taking out of the house, that wouldn't last long.

Finally clean, Sora stepped out of the shower and dried herself quickly, blow drying her hair - thank god it was naturally straight - and pulled on her grey loose pajama pants and a thin black vest. She turned off her bedroom and bathroom light before climbing into her bed, determinded to get a good night sleep before her first day at Odiaba Community College.

Well. What do you think? Please review for it shall make me super-dooper happy!! :D
