Okay, here it is folks! Aurora's story, or how she came to have met her group. Kaida the Dorumon has a different color compaction because she's a girl.

Aurora's story: The Spirit Fighter's scarf

The moon glowed unearthly like as the trees lit alfame. Both Digimon and human worked hard to keep the fire under control, but with little or no success.

Off in the distance, a small wolf like dragon Digimon carrying a human girl on her back, working her way up a steep hill, away from the ash and smoke.

The wolf like dragon had blueish purple fur with gray wings. A large red and black gem sat upon her forehead. This was a Dorumon.

The human girl had russet hair and freckles on her cheeks. A long, jagged scar ran across her nose and she had two blue lines shoot down her cheeks.

The Dorumon panted and weezed as she made the difficult climb to the top. 'It was save there', the Dorumon thought. The girl's and the Dorumon's father had shown them this place before. The Dorumon still remembered his words as he showed them the high up place.

"This place is the all place in all of the Digital World that will protect you from disasters. When I was a young Agumon, I remembered climbing up here to hide from the great disasters that were plaguing my home. Here I found refuge. And it is where you two will find refuge too."

"It's okay," the Dorumon whispered to her companion gently. "I'll get you there. Don't worry." The Dorumon couldn't help but worry though. After the attack on their home, Dorumon and the human girl fled. The girl was tough and protected the Dorumon the whole way until she collapsed of exhaustion. Now it was just the Dorumon.

The hill was steeper than the young Digimon remembered, but she could make it.

Finally, after what seemed to be hours of climbing, they made it. The Dorumon smiled weakly. Then her legs buckled in and she fell face first into the dry grass. But the Digimon didn't notice a thing. She was exhausted. Then, both human and Digimon slept.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Water began to drop on the girl's face. Her eye lids fluttered a bit, then she opened them completely. She was laying on a soft matress with a blanket covering her body. A wet rag was folded and placed on her forehead, warmth racing through her body.

A little way to her left was the Dorumon, laying also on a matress with a blanket covering her and a wet rag on her forehead.

A gruff voice sounded off from behind her, "Ah, you're awake! Excellent. I was beginning to worry you wouldn't get up at all."

The girl twisted around to the voice and spotted a BantyoLeomon standing by a fire. He tossed some wood into the inferno and turned but to look at the girl.

"So," he growled gently, a smile edging itself onto his lips. "what's your name, little one? I can see you're not a Digimon."

"A-Aurora," was the girl stuttering response.

"Aurora? Hmm, that's a nice name. And how 'bout your friend over there?" he jerked his thumb at the Dorumon. "Does she have a name?"

"Y-yeah, it's Kaida."

"Kaida?" Aurora nodded. BantyoLeomon scratched his furry chin thoughtfully and asked, "Doesn't that mean in Japanese 'Little Dragon'?"

Again, Aurora nodded.

"I see." BantyoLeomon tilted his head thoughtfully to the side and questioned, "And just were the two of you doing, climbing all the way up here? Didn't you realize that there was a fire just yesterday? You both could have been killed."

Aurora looked down on the ground shamefully and murmured, "I'm sorry."

BantyoLeomon sighed and placed his paws on his hips, arching an eyebrow. "Where do you two come from anyways?"

Aurora was about to answer when a soft moan came from behind her.

Both BantyoLeomon and Aurora looked over her shoulder to see the Dorumon, Kaida, waking up.

The little Digimon gasped and shoot forward, looking around urgently. Then she spotted Aurora and BantyoLeomon.

"Whatever you want," Kaida shouted at BantyoLeomon, mistaking him for an enemy. "you can't have Aurora!"

"Peace, peace!" BantyoLeomon raised his paws to show no weapons in either. "See? No weapons! Nothing of the sort in my paws!"

Kaida growled and narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "A Digimon doesn't need a weapon to attack."

"Too true, my friend, too true. But you must also know, if I were truely your enemy, you and your friend would be tied up. Also," at this statement, he smirked a bit, "I would be running away right now if I were an enemy."

"WarGreymonX said to never turn your back to another Digimon! He also said that if an enemy is smart, he would pretend to be your friend, then lead you into a trap!"

"WarGreymonX? Did you say WarGreymonX? The Spirit Fighter of the Sea?"

"Yes, that's him. Why do you ask?"

"I know him!" Both Aurora and Kaida blinked in surprise. Then Kaida shook her head and growled back, "Oh really? Everyone knows him. But, the question remains, are you his friend?"

BantyoLeomon took out a long, white scarf that had been on his neck moments ago. "Tell me, do you know what this is?"

Kaida arched an eyebrow at the scarf and answered, "A scarf?"

No, no. Look at the design."

Kaida edged closer to the scarf and sniffed. Suddenly, she leaped back and gasped, "That's a Spirit Fighter's scarf!"

Aurora gasped and looked at the scarf. True, the marking on the scarf that would always on the neck was the mark of the Spirit Fighter.

"You're a Spirit Fighter?" Aurora gasped.

BantyoLeomon nodded slowly. "Yes. I am the Spirit Fighter of the Sky and former apprentice to WarGreymonX."

"Former apprentice?"

"Yes, as I told you both, I know him. He was my mentor and instructor when I was only a Rookie level Digimon."

"Then you must know where he went!" Aurora's heart was pounding with excitement and happiness.

But her hopes were quickly dashed as BantyoLeomon shook his head sadly.

"No, I'm afraid I don't know where he is. I came here in hopes of finding him but I only found you two." He went on his knees and looked at Aurora with curiousity. "Tell me, are you his apprentice?"

"No, she's his daughter," Kaida said boldly as she trotted over to the two.

BantyoLeomon arched both his eyebrows this time. "His daughter?" He turned back to Aurora and asked, "Is this true? Are you really his daughter?"

Aurora blushed slightly and looked down. "Um, yes." When BantyoLeomon gave a startled look, Aurora quickly added, "But he only raised me! I'm adopted!"

BantyoLeomon sighed and looked at Kaida. "And you? Are you his apprentice or adopted daughter?"

"Both!" Kaida said proudly.

BantyoLeomon nodded then felt a gentle tug on his sleeve. He turned his head and saw tears were welling up in Aurora's blue eyes.

"Please, can you see if Daddy is at home?" she asked gently, her voice cracking with tears.

BantyoLeomon nodded slowly and whispered, "Don't worry. I'm sure he's at home right now, wondering where you two went off too."

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

BantyoLeomon returned to the top of the hill, taking his time up the hill.

His search had been fruitless. The house had been burned to the ground and nothing was left.

But, BantyoLeomon remembered seeing a small wooden box laying not to far from the wreckage.

Laying next to it was a long blue scarf, with the symbol of a Spirit Fighter. It was WarGreymonX's.

When he reached the top of the hill, the children bam-barded him with questions.

BantyoLeomon only shook his head, watching with great sadness as the two youths broke into tears.

It broke his heart to see them like this, but there was nothing he could do. Nothing.

Later in the evening, BantyoLeomon popped the question that had gone over and over in his mind.

"Would you like to live with me?"

The question had been so sudden, so random, that it caught the two grieving children off guard.

"L-live? With you? You mean it?" Aurora asked. The strong light that had once shown in her eyes was returning, speck by speck.

BantyoLeomon nodded. "I know WarGreymonX would not want you two to be all alone." He turned is head to look directly at Aurora.

He reached into his coat and pulled out WarGreymonX's scarf. "And I think he would want you to have this too," he said as he tied the scarf around Aurora's neck.

A single tear fell down her cheek and she smiled weakly as her finger tips bushed the scarf gingerly.

"Sure," was her tear choked answer. Kaida only nodded, tears falling down familiar paths on her furry cheeks.

BantyoLeomon smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to the sunset. Unless he was mistaken, he was sure he saw WarGreymonX smiling down on them from Heaven. And Jehovah was smiling also.

Okay, that's the brief introducation of Aurora and her Digimon pal, Kaida.
