Rain fell from the sky as they all sat there, staring at the things in their hands. The D-Pyaa's. Namida Nouriko blinked, and stared at the Silver thing in her hand.
"Odd." Was what she said.
Tamashi had gotten up and was prancing around. "Look at what I got!" He showed off his Green D-Pyaa. "What are these things?" Asked Yukio.
He spoke! He actually spoke! Namida yelled at herself in her head, unbelieving.
"They're like... Uhmm.. Toys?" Asked Reitou.
"Hardly." Sakiyuki smiled, getting up.
"What could they be then?" Asked Namida, getting up as well, and dusting off her pants, which were muddy and a bit wet. "Dang it!" She mumbled, as she realized some of it wouldn't come out.
"Is something suppose to happen now?" Asked Tamashi, waddling over to Nami, a questioning look in his eyes.
"I don't know," she responded, truthfully.
--
He headed down, noticing that it was very cold in this world. "Next time I think I'll bring a parachute!" He yelled as he flew fast, not being able to control himself. Gennai just fell, partially slowing down.
SMASH!
He smashed into the garbage bin, and let out a moan. "That sure helped my back." The man grumbled and pulled a banana peel off his head, "Dirty humans." He looked at his surroundings. It was a dark alley-way. He blinked. "Hmm... I wonder where they're at. If my calculations are correct, they should all be right.." He looked over at the place where he had thrown the banana.
"There." He blinked.
--
Tamashi shook the object in his hands. "Maybe we should tell our parents about these." He leaned his head forward at a tilt and looked over the buttons and other things attached.
"It's not like it's some sort of drug-thinga-ma-bobber." Namida said, looking up.
"It could be." Sakiyuki informed, "You see you could fit drugs right in there--"
"Sakiyuki! Honey!" Came a voice from the sidewalk.
The damp Sakiyuki Naiteiru looked up from her thoughts. "Wha---at?" She asked.
"Get inside! Now!" Naiteiru Payumi yelled.
"Fine, mom." She looked back at the others, "Uh, later."
"Yeah, later." Nami said, her eyes still stuck to the D-Pyaa.
Reitou waved, "Yeah.."
Sakiyuki ran to the sidewalk, all that was heard was her running and the pad-pad-pad of the rain. Tamashi Yoshiida watched as she walked over to the door to their apartment building and disappear from the night.
"I should go too."
"Yeah, me too. I'm sure Yukio probably needs to, too."
"C'mon, Tamashi, I'll walk you home. "Namida told the little boy.
"Kay."
--
Mishoii Heitia sat at the couch, an angry look in her eyes, as the door closed and Namida left.
"Tamashi Yoshiida!" She shouted. "Why didn't you come in when that kind Naiteiru girl went to get you!?"
Tamashi blinked, and slowly slid the D-Pyaa behind his back. "Uh, something happened."
The lady with the cane stared at her grandson, a look of interest and anger flooding her eyes. She calmly sat back, slid her hand through her silver hair, and asked. "What happened, boy?"
"Uh, I was out with Namida. When.. Uh.. Lightening struck this car nearby, and it started on fire. Sirens went off and everything, and firetrucks came and had to put it out. We stayed there to tell what happened."
"Strange," the wise woman told her grandson, "I heard nothing at all."
Tamashi took a step towards his room. Maybe, when she wasn't looking, he could hide in his room until later on and she would forget the entire thing.
"Now, I know you've been having a hard time with your father away at Law School, and your mother-- well.. Anyways, I really don't feel you should lie like this, or do these odd things. I really think I should send you to a pyschiatrist... I don't know.. But I think it's the best idea yet."
"Grandmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......." The boy whined.
"Don't 'Grandmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' me, Tamashi." She smirked. "Now, get ready for supper, I've been working on this all afternoon and you're not going to disappear for that."
--
"That's it!" Payumi Naiteiru screamed, "You're grounded! This is the last time I'm going to allow you to come home late, Sakiyuki. No more! Just--- Just..." The lady put her hand on her forehead, showing distress. Then walked off to her room.
Tekaru, Sakiyuki's brat little brother, squealed. "You're in trouble!!!"
Sakiyuki looked down at the brown-headed brother of hers. "When mom comes out, do you want her to find you in one piece. Or -two pieces-?" She looked at him, an evil smirk spreading across her face as the boy shrieked and scuddled off to his room.
Teitoku smiled, from where he sat on the couch, as his twin ran off. "You know, Saki, you wouldn't get in so much trouble if you followed the rules." He sat down the small book he was reading.
"I didn't think she'd blow that big of a fuse.. Sorry." Sakiyuki looked down at the D-Pyaa in her hand.
"It's just... Well, something happened." She looked down, and rushed off to her room.
Teitoku heard the door slam.
--
"Namida, it's just your father and I worry about you. We don't want you to get in trouble.. Or even worse: Hurt." Mrs. Nouriko took a seat on the arm rest of the couch. "Mom, you don't have to, I can take care of myself." Namida pleaded, trying to help her case.
"But it's our job to worry about you!" Mrs. Seiro Nouriko cried.
"Look, mom, I'm sorry.. I didn't mean for you and dad to worry." Namida spoke, truthfully.
"Oh, honey, it's okay." She walked up and embraced her daughter, tears of thankfulness streaming down her face as she held what was most dear to her in all the world.
--
"It's half past six, Reitou!" The man shouted, slamming the paper he was reading on the table.
"Sorry, dad.." The boy scratched his head, looking down at his feet. "I was just... Busy."
"Busy doing what? Huh? Tell me that, Reitou!"
"Uh, I was... Hanging with my friends."
"Oh, heavens no, we shouldn't've interrupted that." Heavy sarcasticness was in his voice.
"Geesh, Dad. I'm sorry."
"Sorry isn't going to cut it this time, Reitou Nashai! Tomorrow, Friday-- You're coming STRAIGHT home! Got it?" He looked at his son.
"Yeah..." mumbled Reitou.
"What'd you say?" He asked.
"Yes, I got it." He walked off to his room.
--
Children ran along the sidewalk, hurrying off to friends and school. The sun was shining brightly, and most of the children had a happy feeling in them. Reitou didn't feel so happy, and neither did Sakiyuki, as they walked towards the school. They both had been grounded.
Reitou had told the others that they'd meet during lunch.
He kept on waiting and waiting for the clock to hit eleven forty-five, so they would be dismissed to lunch. He wanted to talk about the D-Pyaa's they had received, and what they meant, and how each one was different.
"And that is why.." The teacher was blabbering on.
Reitou sat in the chair, gazing off into space.
--
The old man climbed over to the window, through the bushes around it, grumbling as they poked and punctured him. He saw Reitou. "There he is," Gennai smiled happily, and ignoring the other classmates, began banging.
It seemed that the room was sound-proof or something, because no one looked to that side of the room. Gennai sighed, and smashed at it again. Nothing. Suddenly he wabbled, and titled, "Ahhh!" He shouted, as he slipped in a puddle and fell into the bushes.
--
The bell rang.
Heaven.
Sakiyuki rushed out of her class, at full speed, and she wasn't the only one doing ninety either. At least five other classmates were trying out for the ninety-yard-dash, too, and were running full speed. One collided into a student walking by, and Sakiyuki, not being able to stop, topped off the mountain of books and students.
"Yowwwwwww!!!!!!!!" She screamed as her books were tossed everywhere.
--
"You're late, Saki. Now we only have-- Fifteen minutes." Namida said, looked over at the muffled Sakiyuki as she sat down. "Sorry.. There was a little accident in the hall."
"I thought that girl on top of those little kids looked like you." Tamashi blinked.
"Ha ha."
"Did you guys bring your things?"
"I did!" Shouted Tamashi. A few kids looked over at them, and Tamashi slumped down.
"Me too," Namida informed, in a whisper.
"Of course." Yukio said, smiling slightly at Tamashi's action.
Namida was dressed in her usual jeans, but still pertained her girly looks.
Tamashi was in a green little outfit, and was his usual size, because children don't grow much during the night.
Reitou had his goggles around his poofed up, dark brown hair.
Sakiyuki had a short sleeve shirt on that said, "Nakushita," meaning "Lost."
Yukio was dressed in a black short-sleeve shirt, and his hair was combed, like it usually was.
"I think they have something to do with some sort of Electronic Company," Reitou said.
"You do?"
"Not really..."
"Oh." Namida said.
"Well--" Sakiyuki began, when suddenly someone jumped out of the bushes not five feet away from their table and yelled, "There you are!"
The man had leaves and branches all over him, and had a small beard, and white hair. He looked as though he was balding. He wore a colorful, purple like suit. "Good evening," he said, trying to act like the average adult.
"I need to speak to you about your.. D-Pyaa's. You have D-Pyaa's, right?"
"Is that what they're called?" Asked Yukio, turning to look at the old man.
"Yes," Gennai said.
"Well, my name is Gennai, and I was the one who sent you those."
"Why? What are they for?" Namida asked, pulling out hers.
"Why, they are for your Digimon."
"Digimon? What are they?"
"You mean you haven't received them yet? Oh dear."
Reitou blinked. "Uh..."
"Let me explain, these things help your Digimon Battle, and will help protect you against harm and other evil things. Such as the man who is after you."
"A man is after us?"
"Yes. A man who has visited the Digital World before knows of your powers, and will stop at nothing to snatch away the Digimon and D-Pyaa's you will have. Probably you as well. Take you apart and see what makes you--"
"I'm trying to eat here." Sakiyuki cried.
"Oh, uh, sorry."
"You're forgiven." Sakiyuki smiled.
"Okay... Well, anyways, we need to send you to the Digital World as soon as possible." The man continued.
"The Digital World? What's that?" Tamashi blinked.
"It's a place where your Digimon must be." He smiled.
"How would we get there?" Namida asked.
"I'm grounded, I can't go anywhere." Sakiyuki told Gennai.
"Me too."
"Well, we'll have to deal with that later, anyways, you must go!"
"Why?"
"What are we needed for?"
"You are The Five."
"The Five?"
"Yes, The Five chosen to help us save our world from darkness."
"-- Just as long as I'm home before my bedtime!" Tamashi said, hopping up.
"Yes, yes. We'll see what we can do about that. Now, are you ready?" Gennai blinked.
"I don't think I should go.." Namida said, "My parents would get too worried."
"We'll be back long before they notice."
"We will?"
"Of course." The gentle man smiled.
"Well, if we need to do something important-- What the hey!" Reitou shouted.
"Alright, I will!" Tamashi jumped.
Some of the kids began to notice them, and a teacher was walking over to investigate.
"Quick now! Hurry! Press the Red Button on your D-Pyaa's!"
Tamashi pushed his right away.
Sakiyuki blinked, then did too.
Reitou clicked the Red Button.
Yukio did as well.
Namida pushed hers.
A light formed all around them. Gennai smiled. The kids in the lunchroom were amazed, the teacher continued running for them. Suddenly Tamashi disappeared, followed by Sakiyuki, Reitou, Yukio, and, right as the Teacher reached out to grab her, Namida disappeared into another world.
