A/N: Here's the next chapter of Digimon Origins! This was on the harder side due to all the Japanese. I have given you a cheatsheet on the words I used. The next chapter will be started immediately. I want to get all my OCs into the Digital World as soon as possible :D The twins were otherwise fun to write. They digimon will be different in rookie form, but for now they are the same. I'll be posting pics on my DA page (I'm Donnysgirl there) of all my characters. So far, only Will has a pic (hers is also my title page), but I just finished another one of the twins. Please enjoy!

Japanese:
Eeto - (uhm)
Henjin - (weirdo)
Yatta! - (Yes!; I did it!)
Baba - (Grandmother)
Ko-kun - (nickname + honorific)
Neechan - (big sister + honorific)


"Neechan, I want to go play!"

Itou Hana didn't look up as her twin came barging into their room. She was used to her brother's exuberant nature, but that didn't mean she tended to listen to it. She held a book open on her bed as she lay on her chest with her twisted legs held in the air. This book was one of her favorites. She grinned as she held her head up with one hand, elbow on her bed. It was just getting to the climax.

"Neechan!"

Her brother wasn't going to let her read in peace. She felt his heavy weight press against her back as he climbed on top of her. She winced as one of her twin braids was firmly pulled. "Ko-kun..." Hana sighed. She looked up at Naoko's face, so much like her own. Outwardly, they were identical in every way but their gender. She looked back down at her book, "I'm reading."

"So...can we play now?"

"Did you hear anything I just said?" Hana glanced up at her brother again, wearily.

"Of course I did! You said 'Yes, Ko-kun I will play with you. Thank you for saving me from this really boring book!'" Naoko grinned as his hands came around and covered his sister's eyes.

"You got all that from two words?" Hana tugged at the offending hands with a groan. It looked like reading was going to be out.

"Of course not, Neechan! I got it from our twin bond!" Naoko said in a sing-song voice full of innocence. Hana narrowed her eyes at him.

"Naoko! Hana! Why don't you two go play outside? It's such a nice day today." Their grandmother's voice drifted into their room.

"But Baba!" Hana grumbled. Naoko just looked too pleased with himself. She pushed him off of her and watched him topple off the bed.

"Whoa!" He exclaimed a second before he hit the ground. It was a wonder he still had that grin plastered on his face. "Are we going out now?"

"I guess so..." Hana sighed and put her book away. Maybe if she brought it along, she could read it outside? She grinned at her new idea as she stuck the book in her shoulder bag.

"Yatta! Neechan is going to play with me!" Naoko threw his fists into the air, his hazel eyes bright, before taking Hana's hand. "Let's go, let's go!"

"I'm going..." Hana sighed, resigned. She pulled on a sleeveless hooded jacket over her t-shirt and slipped into tennis shoes. A pair of gloves finished her outfit before she was ready to face the world. She was never the outgoing type. Her room was her haven, but that wasn't going to be the case today.

"You're wearing a jacket?" Naoko asked, peering around at her in such a motion that caused his single pony-tail to bounce. "And jeans? It's summer, you know!"

Hana looked over at her brother's t-shirt and shorts with a frown. "So? I can wear jeans if I want."

"Whatever, henjin," He said as his gloved hands pulled at the corners of his mouth and stuck his tongue at her.

"Do you want me to play with you or ignore you?" Hana's own hazel eyes narrowed.

"Play?"

"Then, come on. I'll race you," She smirked before speeding out of the room.

"Hey, wait up!" Naoko cried as ran to catch up.

Hana ignored her brother. This was her revenge for his teasing. Her shoulder bag caught the air a few times as she took the front stairs two at a time. She squealed as Naoko nearly clipped her fingers when he slid down the railing with laughter. "Hey!" She yelled after him.

"Na na na-na na!" Naoko sang.

Hana grinned, mischievously, at the game as she increased her speed. That's when things began getting weird. The world seemed to shift and swirl around her brother until she could no longer see him. In his place, for only the briefest of moments, she saw another world. She saw mountains reaching up like daggers to slice into the sky. A group of monsters she could only see silhouettes of seemed to march across her vision.

Then it was gone. Hana hesitated long enough for Naoko to glance back at her. "Are you coming or what?" He asked her.

"Eeto... yeah!" She shook off the feeling she got from the strange experience and caught up with her twin.

The walk to the park was uneventful. It was only a few miles from their house and a regular hangout for the twins. Naoko ran ahead with a shout of his excitement. Hana just smiled before looking for a place to read her book. The park had wooden benches scattered among the trees and shrubberies. She chose a seat shadowed by a weeping maple, but as she headed towards it, the world around her seemed to shift again. She saw a man who looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing a cream-colored robe which looked odd to her. As she stared at the image, she noticed the man seemed to be surrounded by light.

"Neechan...?" Naoko's voice came from behind her. His shocked voice mirrored hers. She turned towards him and noticed she wasn't the only one seeing things. What was going on? She glanced back at the flickering image only a moment before it disappeared.

"What was that...?" Hana asked aloud.

"Neechan..."

She turned at her brother's voice.

"Why is the park empty?" Naoko asked and he was right. As Hana looked around the park, she realized there wasn't a single person there other than them. The day was getting stranger. "I want to go back home..." Her brother's voice was now so quiet.

"Ko-kun..." Hana walked over to put her arms around her twin. She wouldn't show her own fear. Not in front of Naoko. The park was no longer a place to have fun. It was time to go back home...

Your destiny awaits.

Before either twin could comprehend what the male voice meant, bright beams of light sliced through the ground in front of them. Both children held onto each other tighter as they watched two strange devices appear in the light. They almost ran from the strange phenomenon, but something about the light felt...inviting. The twins couldn't resist reaching out to grab a device each. As they held it, they immediately knew what they were. Their own digivice...

The light grew brighter before it struck the twins, engulfing them in its radiance. For a moment, all was peaceful. Then the peace shattered. They were hurtling through space. Hana tightened her hand around Naoko as they fell into the vortex of light.


It ended almost as soon as it began. Naoko found himself lying face-first in dirt. He didn't think anything was broken. The last time he broke his arm was in gym class and he would never forget how much it hurt. He would definitely know if he broke anything again. He moved to push himself up, spitting out dirt, before he remembered horror stories of people moving when they didn't know they were hurt and making things worse. Yeah, but I'm not hurt. ...Right? He quickly sat up with that thought in mind. Hana would know.

"Neechan!" He searched the area for his sister and widened his eyes at the strange new world he landed in. "Weird..." He could see hills of bare earth for miles. Dagger-like mountains shot high into the air. He wondered how much he could see from on top of one of them.

"Ko-kun!"

Naoko pulled himself to his feet and looked around, but he couldn't see his sister anywhere. "Where are you?"

"Down here!"

He followed his twin's voice down one of the hills, pausing only once to roll down it instead. It was so much more fun to use the hill like a slide. That is what they're there for. At least according to the great Naoko!

"Ko-kun..." Hana's voice sighed above him. Naoko grinned up at his twin before bouncing to his feet.

"That was fun! You should try it, Neechan!" He grinned.

"I would rather not." She tapped her foot in impatience. "We don't have time for that! Look, over there!" She pointed off into the near distance.

Naoko followed her finger towards a small village. The houses looked to be made of the same colored stone as the ground beneath their feet. As he watched the little village, he saw what had drawn his sister's attention. The village looked alive with activity. Flags of various colors stood out between the houses and strange looking creatures of various shapes and sizes wandered around between them.

"Whoa!" A voice yelled out from behind the twins. They both turned as a green soccer ball-sized something bowled into Naoko. The boy fell backwards with an 'oof!'

"Ko-kun?" Hana asked.

"Sorry! I'm really sorry for my friend!"

The new voice came from above, but Naoko was too busy staring at the creature lying on his chest. It wasn't just a green soccer ball. It was one with big red eyes, a mouth; and with feet protruding out of the bottom, and two...leaves growing out of the top. A red bandana was tied around the stem of the leaves. "What are you?" He asked as he poked it.

"I'm Sup-!" The soccer ball began but another voice interrupted it.

"Tanemon! We're just tanemon! Don't get him started, please. He'll never stop!" The second, currently unknown, voice spoke again from the top of the hill. Naoko finally looked up and saw another green soccer ball, except this one didn't have a bandana. The new soccer ball quickly bounced down the hill to stand in front of them. "You're strange looking. What are you?" It asked.

"Tanemon never lets me have any fun." The first soccer ball - Tanemon - said, grumpily. "I have a cape for a reason, yanno!"

"You just found it." The second argued back.

"It came to me from above!"

"Stop while you're still a mon."

"Mon?" Hana spoke up. Naoko found her also staring at the bizarre creatures.

"Digimon!" They both cried out together.

"You are both tanemon?" Naoko asked, next. The digimon nodded.

"Then how do you tell yourselves apart?" Hana asked.

"Easy!" They said in unison.

"I have a bandana and she doesn't!" Spoke one. "You can call me Super-Tanemon! Ah-hah! I said it before you could stop me!"

"It does make it easier, I guess..." The second grumbled.

"I'm Hana," the female human said. "This is my brother, Naoko." As she spoke, their digivices glowed. Digital sounds emanated from them as the twins pulled them from their pockets. The devices were responding to the tanemon!

"Eeto...Neechan... The random devices are glowing..." Naoko said, stating the obvious.

"I can see that, Ko-kun." Hana sounded wary. "I want to know why. Tanemon, do you...?"

"We've never seen anything like it, but someone in Tanemon Village might know." The normal Tanemon said. "We were just on our way there before Tanemon fell down the hill."

"I meant to do that, you know!" S-Tanemon complained.

"Sure," Tanemon brushed the other's comment away as she continued. "The festival attracts all sorts of digimon! You can follow us!"

"A festival?" Naoko shot his fist into the air, "Let's go!"

"We might as well, I suppose." Hana smiled at her twin's antics before they turned towards their destination. Next stop, Tanemon Village!


A/N: A festival? What kind of festival could it be? It looks like the twins are having better luck than Will. Will it last? Find out next time on Digimon, Digital Monsters!
