This takes place after the final battle in Digimon Xros Wars. this is a KiriNe fanfic and suppose to explain why Nene is in Hong Kong and Kiriha is in America.

CHAPTER 1

"Im sorry young lady, but I don't think you're cut out for being an idol," says the man from across a huge rectangular table that almost fills up half the room.

He fixed his glasses and proceeded, "a model yes, you're young, you're beautiful, you're….. Rich. But as for singing." He paused closing his eyes as if trying to think of some comfortable word to say to her, "… I am sorry. But when it comes to it, you sound like a dead horse."

The girl from across the table lowered her head. You can tell from her beautiful purple eyes that she was trying to think of something or some way to have him accept her. Her ponytailed hair, split in the middle, is dangling from her shoulders. Her white and pink top, skirt, and boots made her shine brilliantly; I guess it's because of the white. She lifted up her head, showing confidence and said, "Let me try again, I'll try harder I promise."

He sighed, but who could not say no to someone like her. Finally, he waved his hand, "go ahead, Miss Amano," his voice grown tired and wary.

Nene stood up from the chair. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, I can do this, she thought. She let out the air calmly and began singing. She sang higher and lower, louder and quieter, stronger and softer like the song she had in mind. However, she sounded much worse than her first try.

The sun was already setting. Nene, with her head down and carrying her purse on her shoulder, walked home from the bus station instead of calling her father to have someone pick her up. She knew that if he called, he would ask, 'how did it go?' Nene shut her eyes while still walking, she can't possibly tell her father, mother, and brother that she didn't make it. Well not her father. Nene hasn't told him yet because she knew he would try to talk her out of it.

What will I do? They'll be so disappointed! Nene thought opening her watery eyes. It has been her dream to become an idol, and she thought that her first try to become a successful idol, is to go to Hong Kong and make herself noticed there before anywhere else around the globe.

As she got to her house, she wiped the tears and searched her purse for her keys. As soon as she found them, she unlocked the door and walked inside. She knew that her younger brother was home from school by his shoes, and also by the smell in the air. He was cooking something.

Nene went to the kitchen and found the dinner table full of food, "SURPRISE!"

She jumped and saw Yuu, Taiki, Akari, and Zenjirou behind her, all of them smiling. Yuu walked up to her, the boy had grown since the last battle with Baguramon. He was almost taller than Nene now, "we prepared all of this for you Nee-san, as our way of saying congratulations. We all knew you would make it."

In fact, she didn't make it, she wasn't accepted. But they did all of this for her thinking that she did, she didn't even tell Taiki and the others that she was auditioning or going to Hong Kong for all that mattered. Nene smiled, "wow, all of this for me? You shouldn't have," she said trying to sound shocked, surprised, and happy at the same time.

"So how did it go?" asked Taiki, the brown spiky haired boy with goggles around his head.

Nene at least tried to keep smiling, "well… it went great!" she lied, "they loved my singing talent and wanted me to come in again to make the final decision. They can't stop hearing from me," Nene chuckled a little hoping they would by it, and of course, they did, "but enough about that, Im starving, lets eat!"

As soon as she turns around, her fake smile disappears. It was then that she felt a little scared, only because she knew that the blonde boy who was sitting on the sofa, which was turned away from the kitchen, wouldn't by it at all, "Kiriha, you're here too…" Nene said, almost in a whisper.

Kiriha looked almost relaxed on that sofa; he was wearing his school uniform without the black jacket. She saw, that in his glimmering blue eyes, Nene could tell, that he was not convinced. He knew something was wrong.
