Chapter 2: The New Girl

NORMAL POV: Today

A blonde twenty-three-year-old woman was finishing unloading the truck and unpacking her stuff into her new home. She was wearing a pair of cute jean shorts, a plain white top and her favorite sandy gray colored boots. As she placed the final box in the center of her living room, she took a look around the space before her and smiled. A place like this is just what she needed right now. The peace and quiet of the nearby ocean made the place even more serene than it already was, and it was refreshing.

"Knock, knock."

The blonde girl turned her attention to the door and saw a girl with brown eyes and light brown hair up in a bun with two strands hanging in the front. She was wearing a cute yellow top, a high-waisted gray skirt that went down to her mid-thigh, and yellow stilettos. In her arm, she held the newest Michael Kors bag and she had her iPad in hand.

"Well, well, well..." said the brunette. "How are you liking your new home so far?"

The blonde smiled. "It's beautiful. Thank you for hooking me up on such an amazing property, Mimi."

"Oh, don't mention it! Mimi Tachikawa at your service."

The girls laughed and the blonde girl resumed emptying the contents of her last box.

"This place has been vacant for the past fourteen years", said Mimi. "You know, it used to belong to that man who murdered the Celestials. You're the first brave soul to dare to set foot in this place."

The blonde girl shrugged. "Well, I guess I don't scare that easily."

"Good. Because that's what you'll need if you're expecting to survive in Okinawa."

"Oh, do I now?," said the blonde in an amused tone.

"It's no joke. People here are not exactly very... friendly. You need to impress to survive and show no fear or weak signs. That's the first thing they'll use against you. You need to have connections and know the right people if you expect to make it here."

"Well, it's a good thing I'm fearless. And it also helps that my best friend makes knowing these people her job. You can coach me."

Mimi smirked. "Oh, I will. I'll make sure you, Zoe Capulet, are the next big thing in Okinawa."

Zoe laughed. "Sounds great. I'm curious as to how you came to know so many people here."

"Well those are the perks of working for Diana Kanbara."

"Ah, yes.. 'the queen'..."

"Believe me, she thinks she is. And you are just the lucky girl who gets to be her new next door neighbor."

"Oh it must be an honor", said Zoe sarcastically. "But you must love working for the most powerful woman in the world."

Mimi rolled her eyes as she swiped her finger across the iPad.. "Let's just say it's not as glamorous as you Queen Bee can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes. She has me by the neck for tomorrow's event. She's holding a party in her new yacht to launch her new charity."
"What's the charity for?"

"Well, as you know, the Kanbaras took over the Digimons as their own after the incident with the Celestials. Now, she and her husband want to create this charity for humans to donate their money for any Digimon in need. You know, as a sign of respect. Besides, off the record, I believe this would also keep Digimons for uprising."

"Why would they rise against humans? We're all in good terms, aren't we?"

"Yes but how would you feel if you were being governed by Digimons?"

"I doubt I would feel differently. I like them."

"Oh I love them, don't get me wrong. But, unfortunately, not everyone has the same opinion."

"I guess. Well... count me in for a ticket then."

Mimi widened her eyes. "Are you sure? It's 10,000$..."

Zoe smiled. "Do it. It's for a good cause, right?"

"Yeah... my career! Thanks, Zoe."

"Don't mention it. Besides... this can be my big entrance to the Okinawan exclusive circle, don't you think?"

"Excellent idea! I bet everyone will be very interested to know who the new hottie in town is."

Zoe laughed. "Can't wait."

"Can't wait for what?"

The girls turned to see a plant-like creature with light green skin and purple-tipped claws. She had a pink flower with a yellow center on her head, a small tail and small bumps lining her back.

"Hey Zoe," said the rookie Digimon. "Welcome to Okinawa."

"Hey Palmon!" responded Zoe.

"I was just planning Zoe's big entrance to the Terra-Byte high society", said Mimi. "We think her grand debut should occur tomorrow at the charity gala."

"Oh, that's a lovely idea! Speaking of, Diana's looking for you Mimi. You know how she gets with these events of hers."

Mimi rolled her eyes. "Tell me about it." She then turned to Zoe and smiled. "Well love, I've got to run and take care of some details for tomorrow."

"Ok girl, see you later. Good luck with your highness."

"Thank you, I'll need it."

Zoe giggled "Bye! Bye Palmon!"

"Bye Zoe!"

Mimi hugged Zoe goodbye and she made her way out of the property. Zoe gazed after her friend and her partner Digimon, and then proceeded to finish unpacking. From one of the boxes, she took out a wooden box and carried it towards the couch. She placed it on the coffee table in front of her and opened it carefully. Her hand went straight to a photograph that was on top of all of the contents. She took the picture into her hands and smiled. The imaged showed a little blonde girl that had her arm wrapped around a man's neck. She was kissing his cheek and the man was smiling and holding the little girl close to his chest. Zoe flipped the image over and read what was written behind it: Akito and Izumi on Akito's 40th birthday.

Zoe then took out a second photograph from the box. This one had a large group of people around Akito at the beach, including the Kanbaras, and they were all smiling at the camera.

Zoe smirked. "Don't worry, daddy. I promise I'll make them pay."

Unbeknownst to Zoe, a brunette woman was lurking her cerulean eyes into her new neighbor's home from her balcony. She was wearing a sheath, persian green dress and nude stilettos. She took a sip of her mimosa as she continued to stare at her new blonde neighbor.

"Isn't it a bit early to start drinking, Diana?"

The woman turned her head to see her husband standing in the doorway. He was very handsome. His black hair was perfectly combed back, revealing a pair of brown eyes. He was wearing his grey office suit, with a white collared shirt underneath and a light blue tie around his neck.

Diana rolled her eyes at the smirking man. "Don't start with me, Grayson. It's a mimosa. I can have that if I please at 9:00 a.m."

"Suit yourself, dear."

"Did you notice that there's a new girl in town?" asked Diana as she turned her attention back to Zoe's place.

"Oh?" snorted Grayson. "And how is that my concern?"

"Well I guess it is, since she just moved in into the Orimoto Mansion next door."

Grayson frowned. "She did? Huh. That house hasn't been occupied by anyone for the past -"

"Fourteen years", completed Diana. "I know. I wonder why the sudden change."

"Perhaps she likes the location. It is in a very rich area, you know."

"Yes... perhaps."

"Mom?"

"In here, Amy!" called Diana to the voice in the hall.

The door opened and in came a girl and a boy. The girl had long, black hair with bangs and cerulean eyes, while the boy, who seemed to be older than the girl, had brown hair and brown eyes. The girl was wearing a pink sundress with a thin, tan belt around her wait. Her Donna Karan sunglasses were placed over her hair. The boy was wearing sandy cargo shorts and a orange linen shirt.

"There you are mom!" said the girl. "I was looking for you. Hi dad."

"Hello, sweetheart", said Grayson.

"Is something wrong, Amy?" asked Diana.

"No. I was just wondering when was Takuya getting here, because I wanted to say hi to him before I go meet Megumi and the girls."

Diana snorted. "Your brother is coming home from grad school and you made plans with your friends?"

"Oh come on, mom" said the boy. "When I finished grad school last year, I came home to an empty house! You and Dad had taken Amy and gone off to one of your parties."

"Tai, I apologized for that. I got the dates mixed up and didn't realize they would be on the same day!"

Tai sighed and rolled his eyes. "Right."

"Mom just let me go", said Amy. "I love Takuya with all my heart, and he knows it. He'll understand... We'll have plenty of time to catch up. Besides, I already said I was going."

"Well then 'unsay' it. You are staying."

"You can't tell me what to do! I'm 20 years old. When Tai and Takuya were my age, you let them do whatever they wanted!"

"Which ended up in Takuya becoming a mess..." mumbled Tai.

"Ok, that's enough" said Grayson. "Amy you can go with your friends but just make sure you're here until Takuya gets here."

Amy smiled. "Thanks dad!"

"Incidentally," said Tai. "When is he getting here?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door that interrupted their conversation. Standing in the doorway, there was one of the maids in her black and white uniform.

"Mr. and Mrs. Kanbara?" asked the young woman. "Mr. Takuya has arrived."

"Well, I guess that answers your question Tai," said Grayson. "We'll be down in a moment, Meg."

The maid nodded and left the room.

Downstairs, a young man was exiting his red 2012 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. He had messy auburn hair, olive tan skin and piercing chocolate brown eyes, which were covered by a pair of black Ray Bans. He was wearing a sky blue polo shirt, with a popped collar, white cargo shorts and casual brown loafers.

The boy placed his Ray Bans over his head and put his bag behind his shoulder, as he took a glance at the house and approached the the entrance. The Classic Mediterranean real estate was breathtaking. It had over twenty rooms, including master bedroom, five suites, five bathrooms a home theatre, dining room, formal dining room, two living rooms, a library, an office, a gym, an indoor pool - as well as an external infinity pool- and a game room.

"TAKI!"

He caught a glimpse of Amy running towards him as soon as the door opened. He smiled and caught her in his arms, receiving her warm embrace.

"Hey Ames!" said Takuya with his boyish grin. "Wow, you've sure grown since I last saw you."

Amy giggled. "Well thank you! You look great! I missed you so much!"

"Me too!"

"Well, I think you look like crap" teased Tai as he approached his brother.

Takuya rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Not more than you."

The two brothers laughed and patted each other in the back.

"Welcome home, Takuya" said Diana as she descended the stairs along her husband.

"Hey mom, hey dad. It's great to be back."

"I hope you had a pleasant journey", said Grayson.

Takuya shrugged. "It was ok, I guess."

The door opened and the Kanbaras turned to see Mimi entering the property.

"Hello, everyone."

"Hello", they said in unison.

"Hi Mimi" mumbled Tai, his face covered by a shade of pink.

She caught a glimpse of Takuya and grinned. "Takuya! You're back!"

Takuya grinned. "Hi Mimi. I see you've managed to survive my mother for the last two years."

Diana rolled her eyes. "Oh Takuya... You haven't been home for two minutes and you're already bashing your mother?"

Takuya laughed and threw his arms in the air. "Sorry mom. I'm kidding."

"You better."

"Well," said Grayson. "As much as I'd love to stay and give you a proper welcome Takuya, I'm afraid I must run to the office."

"It's ok dad. I'm pretty wiped from the trip, so I think I'm going to lay down for a bit."

"Ok, son. I'll see you all later then."

"Bye dad", said the three children in unison.

Grayson nodded, kissed Diana on the cheek and headed out the door. Diana then turned her attention to the girl.

"Mimi shall we go over the details for tomorrow?"

"Of course Mrs. Kanbara."

"What's tomorrow?" asked Takuya.

"Mother's throwing another one of her charity stunts", said Amy, rolling her eyes.

"I hope you can honor us with your presence tomorrow, Takuya" said Diana with a smile.

Takuya glared at her. "Mom, I've been home for less than two minutes and you're already dragging me into your events again?"

"Well a mother can hope to have the support of her loving family, right?"

Takuya smiled. "Fine, mom."

Diana smiled and then turned to Mimi. "Shall we, Mimi?"

Mimi nodded. "Welcome home again, Takuya. Bye everyone!"

"Bye!"

"Bye..." mumbled Tai, getting all red again.

Takuya noticed this and started laughing. "Dude, could you want her more?"

Tai rolled his eyes. "Oh, shut up!"

"He's right, though", said Amy. "Why don't you ask her out?"

"Are you crazy? Mimi? She'll laugh in my face!"

Takuya shook his head and placed his arm over his brother's shoulder. "Oh brother. You may be a year older than me, but you can be so stupid when it comes to women. Come on! You need to play that Kanbara charm we have! How can a girl say 'no' to that?"

"Oh because you're such a charmer?" teased Tai. "Last I heard, you don't have a girlfriend."

"That doesn't mean I can't get one" smirked Takuya.

"Right..."

"Well guys", said Amy. "I'm heading out. I'm supposed to go meet the girls." She wrapped her arms around Takuya's neck and hugged him. "I'm so happy you're back, Taki."

"It's great to see you too, Ames."

Amy then hugged Tai and kissed his cheek before heading out the door. "Bye you two."

"Bye!"

The guys watched their sister take off and then Takuya turned to Tai.

"Say Tai, where's Agumon?"

"I'm right here!"

The boys turned their heads and saw a orange creature that resembled a small dinosaur, with green eyes.

"Welcome back, Takuya!" said Agumon.

"Hey Agumon! It's great to see you, again! Hope you have been keeping my brother out of trouble."

Agumon laughed. "I recall you were the one who needed to be kept away from trouble."

"Yeah, but I'm changing that."

"That's good! I', glad you are."

Tai then turned his attention back to Takuya. "So? How about we go out for a drink to celebrate your return? Drinks are on me."

Takuya laughed. "It's like 9 a.m."

"So? You used to drink 24/7."

Takuya sighed. "Nah man... I'm ok. I don't do the whole bar scene anymore."

"Really? Wow. I'm impressed. You're really trying to change your old ways, aren't you?"

"Yup. I've been sober for two years now, so you can say I've been good."

"I can see that. Well... how about we go eat something?"

"Food sounds great. Besides, I apparently have a lot to teach you about girls."

Tai glared at him. "Dude... just shut up."

Takuya laughed and turned to Agumon. "You want to join us?"

"Of course! How can I say no to food?"

Tai smirked. "You eat more than a freaking country."

"Look who's talking! I don't hold a candle to what you guys eat in one meal."

The two boys exchanged laughs and the three of them walked away together.

Downtown of Okinawa, the bar known as the "Dark Wolf Tavern" was opening it's doors. Inside, it was actually quite large. On the bottom floor, there were several tables for the customers to dine in, while they watched TV on the screens that were located on the walls. Next to them, were some steps that led to the platform, where a large pool table was. Across from the tables was the actual bar, with all sort of alcoholic beverages in the shelves behind it.

By the bar, there were three twenty-three-year-old boys hanging out by the counter. One of them was opening the cash register and counting the dollar bills inside. He had long, raven hair, tied up in a ponytail and a blue bandana. He was wearing black jeans and a navy blue t-shirt.

Next to him, was another boy that looked exactly like the first one, but his hair was much shorter and he was wearing a green shirt and jeans instead. He was busy drying up a few of the glasses and placing them where they should go.

The third boy had long, spiky red hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt with tan cargo shorts. The redhead was wiping off the countertop with a dish towel.

"So, tell me again why we're here this early?" asked the redhead.

The boy with the long, raven hair rolled his eyes. "Gino, I've already told you a million times. We need to do inventory."

"Yeah, I know that. What I don't get is why we have to do it so early. Couldn't we just have waited for the afternoon?"

"We open in two hours, dumbass" said the one in with the short hair. "We only have a few hours to do it, and God knows Kouji would freak out if we're not done in time."

"Hey!" said the boy with the long hair. "I freak out because I care about this damn place enough to sacrifice some sleep. Unlike you two lazy asses who would rather sleep until 5 p.m."

"Rawr!" teased the short-haired boy.

"Shut up, Kouichi", said Kouji.

"Wow," snorted Gino. "Someone's in a mood today."

Kouji sighed and rolled his eyes. "Sorry. I guess I've been having a rough week."

"Why?"

"Well, for one thing, I've been doubling my shift hours here. So, I'm just out of it."

"Dude, you need to get yourself a girl", teased Kouichi.

Kouji glared at his brother. "Oh yeah? What about you, dumbass?"

Kouichi rolled his eyes and blushed. "I'm working on that. Can't do much about it, since I'm stuck in this bar every single day."

"Stop complaining. Dad and mom left us the bar before they died, so I think the right thing to do is to take care of it. Don't you think?"

"Yeah, yeah. You're right."

"Yo, guys! What's up?"

The three boys turned to see their other three best friends as they entered the bar doors, along with two Digimons. The first guy was JP Shibayama. He was a slightly overweight twenty-four-year-old guy with brown hair, brown eyes and was wearing a royal blue blazer with the sleeves rolled up, a white dress shirt underneath, a loose yellow tie around his neck and jeans. He was followed by a younger kid named Tommy Himi. He was a twenty-year-old kid with brown hair and green eyes, who was wearing khaki cargo shorts with a plain white t-shirt and a mustard yellow cap, which he wore backwards. The third boy had spiky brown hair and brown eyes, and he had on some brown cargo shorts and a navy blue shirt with some yellow symbols on it. He was known as Davis Motomiya.

Next to the boys were two Digimons. The first one was clinging to Davis's neck and was better known as Veemon. He was a 2-feet tall humanoid lizard-like creature, with mostly blue skin, and a white belly and mouth. Veemon's head was large and roughly sphere, with two conical fleshy appendages attached to the back, possibly acting as ears. A small horn pokes where his nose would be. He also had large, 5-fingered hands with short white claws, as well as 3-toed feet with stout claws. Finally, he had a yellow V-shaped mark between his large reddish eyes. The other Digimon was wrapped in JP's arms. He was the in-training Digimon known as Tsunomon, who had once belonged to Izumi Orimoto.

"Look who we found wondering around town today", said JP.

"Tsunomon!" said Kouji. "Why did you run off?"

Tsunomon smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, Kouji. I wanted to go hang out with Gomamon and Veemon today and I couldn't find you or Kouichi anywhere."

"Well, you could've at least told one of the other guys."

"Ah, cut him some slack", said Davis. "Veemon didn't tell me he was going out either."

Veemon frowned. "Yes, I did! You were just too distracted on getting rejected by that girl."

Everyone laughed as Davis's face turned into a slight shade of red.

"Sounds like Davis to me," teased Gino.

"Shut up. The girl wanted me and she knew it. She just didn't know she knew it."

Tommy raised an eyebrow. "Do you ever listen to the words that come out of your mouth?"

"Davis?" snorted Kouichi.

"Oh, I do. And I'm awesome."

Everyone sweatdropped. "Right..."

"Anyways," said Veemon. "What are you all up to?"

"Inventory", responded Kouji. "What about you guys? Where have you been?"

"Well, I was taking a walk around town today," said JP. "And you won't believe what I saw."

"What?"

"There's a new girl in town. From what I saw, she's pretty damn hot, but I think she's insane. I mean, I saw her with that girl, Mimi Tachikawa, and the new girl was moving into the old Orimoto Mansion."

"What's weird about that?" asked Kouichi.

"What's weird? There's a reason why that house has been vacant for the past fourteen years. That house belonged to Akito Orimoto! You know? the psycho killer?"

Kouji frowned. "He was not a psycho killer, ok?"

"Oh, come on man! You're still defending his innocence?"

"Yes! Dude, I knew him and his daughter very well and I know for a fact that Akito didn't do it. I don't care how much proof they have against him, I know he's innocent."

Davis smirked. "Are you basing your opinion on the man's past or on how much you liked his daughter?"

Kouji rolled his eyes. "It was not like that with her. She was just my best friend and I loved her like a little sister. She was the closest thing I had to a sibling before Kouichi came along."

"Yeah that's true," added Kouichi. "I saw them together. I mean, I met her briefly, but I know they had a strong bond as just friends."

JP snorted. "Whatever you say. I just think there was a lot of proof against Akito's case and I'm not sure if I believe he was innocent."

"Well I do", said Tsunomon. "I lived with that family my entire life and never once did they showed any type of hatred towards Digimons. I mean, Akito always made me feel like part of the family. He was, after all, the one who found me wandering down the streets and adopted me."

"I guess we'll never know for sure", said Tommy.

The guys exchanged glances and there was an awkward pause between them.

"Anyways..." said Gino, trying to break the ice. "JP, you were saying there's a new girl?"

"Oh, yes! Dude, she is hot!"

"Who is she?" asked Kouichi.

"I'm not sure what her story is. I just know her name is Zoe Capulet and that she must be filthy rich if she's living in that Mansion."

"Great", mumbled Kouji sarcastically. "That's just what we need. Another snobby little rich girl to be flaunting her money at us, like the Kanbaras."

Davis raised an eyebrow. "I thought you liked the Kanbaras. I mean, you did play soccer with Takuya against his high school, didn't you?"

"Yeah I guess you can say we became close during that time, even though our schools were rivals. He was a great kid... until college came along. He and his siblings became these obsessive, crazy party people who only hung out with people who had money. You can say we drifted apart after that."

"Well, I heard he's back", said Tommy. "I have a friend who saw him driving his new ferrari and heading over to the Kanbara Mansion this morning."

Kouji snorted. "This just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"

The group resumed to their respective tasks and proceeded to do their work for the rest of the time. Two hours later, the bar opened its doors to the public and the guys prepared themselves for the busy day they had ahead of them. People started to enter as time passed and, pretty soon, it was packed. Dark Wolf Tavern was one of the most popular pubs in town - or at least it was for the middle class people.

Suddenly, the doors opened and Geji Yoru entered the bar, followed by two Digimons behind him. One of them was a small, white creature with a horned head and pointed ear that had a pink haramaki - or body warmer - around his stomach. His name was Bokomon. The other one, Neemon, resembled a rather skinny yellow rabbit creature with long pointed ears. He was slightly taller than Bokomon, with stubby arms and wore overlarge red pants.

"Why hello, my dear friends", said Geji.

"Hey Geji." said Kouji. "Hey Bokomon... Neemon."

"Hey Kouji", said Bokomon and Neemon in unison.

"What are you doing here?"

Geji shrugged. "I just came for a quick visit and spend some quality time with my pals."

"Shouldn't you be at work, though?"

Geji snorted. "Kouji... come on... it's me. I don't need to go to those stupid board meetings, remember?"

Kouji rolled his eyes amused. "Right... Well, what can I get you rich boy?"

"Rich boy? You really can't stand people with money, can you?"

Kouji laughed. "I'm sort of friends with you, aren't I? Besides, I think you're the only one I actually have to worry about. The rest wouldn't be caught dead hanging in here so..."

"You may want to rephrase that", said Gino as he pointed to the entrance.

The boys turned to the entrance and saw Amy Kanbara entering the tavern, followed by her three minions. Megumi Nakano was Amy's best friend. She had light brown hair that went to her shoulders, and blue eyes. Regina Davenport and Jessica Reynaldi were considered the mean girls of Okinawa. Regina had long, blonde hair and hazel eyes; while Jessica had black, curly hair with green eyes. Kouichi and Tommy immediately turned crimson at the sight of Amy and Megumi.

"Great..." mumbled Kouji. "More snobby rich girls to take care of..."

"I got it!" said Kouichi, almost tripping over a chair as he rushed to take the notepad from the counter. The guys laughed but Kouichi ignored them and proceeded to walk towards the group of girls.

Amy caught a glimpse of Kouichi and smiled sheepishly. She had always thought of him being cute, but she could never admit it in front of her snobby friends.

"Hi," said a grinning Kouichi. "What can I get you ladies?"

Jessica smirked. "We'll have four Mimosas and a menu."

"Sure. I'm just going to need to see some IDs."

Regina raised an eyebrow and snorted. "We left ours at home, but we have plenty of money... If you get my drift."

"Regina!" scolded Amy, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"What?"

"Sorry. I'm not interested in your money", retorter Kouichi fighting the urge to roll his eyes.

Regina stared at him incredulously. "Well... Are you interested in my phone number?"

Amy's cheeks were brighter than ever. This is what she hated about the high society... It was all about the money and they all thought they were better than anyone because they were lucky enough to have run into some cash. She might be the most popular girl around, but she hated her life sometimes.

Kouichi snorted. "Sorry. Not interested in yours..."

His eyes met Amy's and they both blushed crazily. Kouichi could feel his knees getting weaker and Amy felt her her heart race. She had never once been scared by any other guy like the way she was of Kouichi. It was scary in a great way.

Megumi noticed the tension between the two and smirked. "Well... Are you interested in Amy's number?"

Kouichi's face turned crimson and didn't respond. Amy thought he looked even cuter, so she wrote her number in the napkin and handed it to him.

"Here", she said. "Call me sometime."

"I will", smirked Kouichi. "Ill be right back with your menus."

Kouichi took off with a smile spread throughout his face. Amy gazed after him and smiled to herself as well.

"Why is it that every guy on Earth wants Amy?" complained Regina.

Jessica snorted. "Why? You wanted to go out with that loser?"

"Of course not. I would have given him a fake number... But it still is nice when someone wants you and can't have you. Although I wouldn't get caught dead with a guy like him."

"I don't know," said Amy. "He's actually kind of cute."

Regina and Jessica stared at her with a confused look.

"You're not planning on actually going out with him are you?"

"What I do or don't do is none of your business."

The two girls were taken aback by Amys words, while Megumi was simply trying to hide her laughter.

"Fine," said Regina. "Have it your way, Queen Bee."

Amy ignored her friend's comment and took another glance at Kouichi, who was also staring intently at her with a sheepish grin on his face.

ZOE'S POV:

The next day, I got ready to start with my special plans. Even if she didn't know it, Mimi Tachikawa was my ticket into the high society. The first step would be to get accepted by these people and putting my foot in the door... because once that's done, I'm in.

I took a glance at the reflection of myself in the mirror and gussied up. I was wearing my new aquamarine peplum dress with my favorite nude Manolo stilettos. This outfit would surely gain the attention of people. Happy with my choice, I grabbed my Michael Kors wristlet from the counter and headed out the door.

I got to the docs, where Mimi had told me to meet her, and was amazed by the amount of people and Digimons there. I could see the Kanbaras's Yacht, which ironically, was called The Celestial. If this was some sort of sick joke, then I wasn't getting it.

"Zoe!"

I turned my head to find Mimi in her orange, lace dress coming after me.

"My God!" she said. "You look unbelievable!"

"Me? Look at you!"

Mimi giggled. "Oh, I know. Come on, you need to come with me."

She took my hand and guided me across the crowd. She showed our tickets to the guard in the front and he let us pass without hesitation. As we arrived to the top deck, I took a quick scan of my surroundings. I recognized that most of my targets were on this boat. As much as I would love to take them one by one, I would have to remember my training and be patient. They would all get what was coming to them.

"So, how well do you know these people?" I asked Mimi.

"Well enough to let you know who to stay away from and who to snuggle up to."

I laughed. "Well, quick tutorial?"

"Of course. Ok let's see..." She pointed at a woman with tanned skin, brown hair and blue eyes. "That one there is Jasmine DeLaurentis. She is important. She is basically Diana Kanbara's right hand. They are ALWAYS together and she might even be Diana's only true friend."

"How sad..."

"Tell me about it. Ok, that one?" She pointed to a guy with black straight hair and black eyes. "That is Akiko Hirosuke. Stay away from that one... he's just bad news. He's probably the most obnoxious person on this planet."

"Got it."

"Oh and that one..."

She pointed to a familiar face. I almost fainted when I saw who she was talking about.

"That is Geji Yoru", said Mimi. "He is probably the most wealthiest person on this world, aside from the Kanbaras. He has more money that he can wrap his head around. He owns this technology company, YoruCorp, and he sold softwares that made him a freaking billionaire. His net worth is around $50 billion dollars."

"Wow."

"Yeah, but don't be fooled. He's a very strange person. He doesn't really hang out much with this crowd. He's always with a group of poor guys downtown in a bar or he's pretty much alone all the time. So I wouldn't be caught with him, even if he has money. People are not very fond of him around here."

"Message received."

The truth was, I intended to stay away from Geji. I came here to take a personal vendetta against the people who destroyed my father's life, and I was not about to let someone blow my cover. I just hope that he wouldn't recognize me with my blonde hair back.

I then caught sight of a guy who pretty much almost made me lose my breath. He was wearing a grey suit and a sky blue shirt underneath. He had auburn hair, olive tanned skin and brown chocolate eyes.

"Who is that?" I asked.

Mimi followed my gaze and smirked. "That is Takuya Kanbara, Diana's ridiculously gorgeous son."

Damn it... he's a Kanbara? Just my luck.

"Be careful with him," continued Mimi. "He was a real troublemaker last time I saw him. He just came back from finishing his masters, but trust me when I say this... he's trouble if he's still on his old ways."

I chuckled. "I believe you." Too bad... he was very handsome.

"Oh and over here," said Mimi. "... is her royal highness, Diana Kanbara."

My world went into small motion as I watched Diana weave through the party like a snake through an overgrown garden. She was greeting guests and moving on to the other. Suddenly, Diana glanced briefly in my direction and noted me.

"I think she's spotted you", whispered Mimi.

"Good. Introduce us."

Mimi walked me over towards Diana and her husband, Grayson. She was talking to another couple when we came to interrupt their little chat.

"Mrs. Kanbara?" said Mimi, as Diana turned to face us. "Forgive the intrusion, but I wanted to introduce to you my old friend and your new next door neighbor, Zoe Capulet."

I extended my arm and offered my hand and she took it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Zoe", said Diana.

"Oh no, Mrs. Kanbara", I said. "The pleasure is all mine." Believe me.

Oh oh. Looks like Zoe got her ticket into the high society... wonder what she'll do next? And what will happen when/if she meets Takuya? Will become one of her targets? FAVE/FOLLOW to stay tuned! 3 and DONT FORGET TO REVIEW!
