Chapter 1: Enter the Digital World
Kiari was walking home from her choir practice afternoon practice to pick up her brother from his friends house. Kiari was wearing a white blouse, a short blue wavy skirt, and white low calf socks as she received a message on her cell phone. She had her light brown back lengthed hair tied in a ponytail to keep the wind from blowing it over her green eyes, but had a couple of strands of her hair hanging down the right side of her face. Kiari's cell phone started to ring as she took it out of her hand bag and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Kiari, what's taking you so long? You should've been here ten minutes ago."
"I'm sorry Keoni, but I didn't expect my choir practice to be extended. Just wait a bit longer until I get there okay?"
"Okay, but please hurry. I'm getting bored right now."
"Don't worry Keoni. I'm almost there." Kiari said as she hung up and started to run to Keoni's friend's house.
Once Kiari was there, she noticed that her brother Keoni was waiting for her outside of his friend's house as they started to head home. Keoni was about ten years old, had light brown hair and green eyes like Kiari, was wearing a white t-shirt with a brown jacket over it, and brown shoes.
"You know Keoni; you shouldn't be outside without any adult supervision since you're too young to be by yourself." Kiari said as she and Keoni came across their street.
"What do you mean I'm too young? I think that ten years is old enough to do stuff on my own." Keoni said as Kiari rolled her eyes away from Keoni. "Instead of worrying about me most of the time Kiari, you should hang out with your friends."
"Sure Keoni. If I had any friends to hang out with." Kiari said as they approached their house and saw that their aunt wasn't home yet as Kiari opened the front door with her house key.
"I don't see why you won't try to make some friends to be with." Keoni said as he and Kiari hung their jackets on the coat rack.
"I just don't have the time to make friends Keoni." Kiari said as she walked up the stairs to her bedroom. 'Ever since mom and dad died, I've been too busy that I barely have free time for my tae kwon do.'
Once Kiari was in her room, her and Keoni's aunt soon came home with some pizza they can eat for dinner.
"Kiari, you're pizza's going to get cold, so I suggest you hurry down stairs." Kiari recognized the person as her aunt as she received a message on her cell phone.
"Kiari Hiroshima. Do you want to start? If you accept, then you will soon discover your true destiny."
"My true destiny huh? Well I guess I could accept. After all, what's the worse that can happen?" Kiari said to herself as she chose 'yes' as her answer.
"Take the 5:45 Shibuya bound train from Jiyuugaoka Station."
Kiari saw that it was now 5:25 as she ran out if her room with her cell phone in her hand and rushed her way to the front door as she came across her aunt and Keoni.
"Kiari, where are you going? You're pizza is going to get cold if you don't eat it now." Kiari's aunt said as Kiari started put on her white shoes with blue stripes.
"I'm just going to get some fresh air, and you can just leave my pizza in the microwave until I get back." Kiari said as she grabbed her blue hooded jacket and went out the door.
Kiari checked her cell phone for the time and saw that it was 5:27 as she put her cell phone in her pocket. Kiari started to run to the Shibuya train station to reach her true destiny that waits for her arrival.
Kiari managed to get on the 5:45 train and was sitting near a couple of boys who seemed to be the same age as her, which was 12 years of age. One of them was wearing a green hat and goggles, and the other one was wearing a bandana and had his hair tied in low ponytail.
'Hmmm. Bandana boy kind of looks familiar, but I don't think we've ever met.' Kiari thought to herself as she received another message on her cell phone, along with the other people who happen to have cell phones; even the two boys got a message on their phones. 'Is it really possible for more than one person to receive the same message at the same time?'
"Transfer to the 6:00 west bound train."
Kiari saw that it was now 5:54 as she heard the boy in the green hat panicking for some reason as the train reached its destination. Kiari stepped out of the train and tried to find out which way to go as she noticed the boy in the bandana walk past her and tried to follow him. Kiari followed him to an elevator as she walked inside and stood on the opposite side of bandana boy as the boy in the green hat dived into the elevator and hit his head on the wall.
"Are you okay?" Kiari said as she helped the boy stand up. "That was a strange way to get in an elevator."
"You can say that again. Did you come here because you got a message on your cell phone that told you to get here?" The boy with the green hat said as he held out his cell phone.
"As a matter of fact, I did." Kiari said as she held out her cell phone and look at the boy in the bandana. "What about you? Did you also get a message that told you to come here?"
The boy wearing the bandana didn't say anything as they finally reached the bottom floor. Kiari walked out of the elevator as she received another message on her phone.
"Choose which one you will take to begin your journey."
"Journey? I guess I'll be out longer than I thought. Well there's no turning back now." Kiari said as she noticed bandana boy boarding a gray train as she started walking towards the gray train. 'I sure wish I knew what was going on.'
Kiari boarded the gray train that the boy wearing the bandana went on as she noticed him sitting in the corner. Kiari sat across from him but a few feet farther as she looked down at her cell phone.
"Why are following me around for?" The boy wearing the bandana said as he caught Kiari's attention. "I noticed that you've been following since we got off that train earlier. So you mind telling me your excuse for following me?"
"Well I only followed you because you seemed to know where to go. So I chose to follow you since I had no idea on what to do. I don't even know what these messages I've been getting on my cell phone are trying to lead me to." Kiari said as she looked down at her cell phone and put it in her pocket. "My name is Kiari Hiroshima, and I'm in the sixth grade."
"Koji Minamoto." Koji said as the lights suddenly turned off as he and Kiari quickly stood up. "What's going on?"
"I don't know Koji." Kiari said as the train started to move in a rapid speed, causing Koji and Kiari to fall to the back of the train.
Koji and Kiari felt something that shrouded their body for about half a minute as their cell phones started to react in a strange manner and turned into some strange device. The train then started to move in a normal speed and the lights were turned back on as Koji and Kiari stood up.
"My head hurts. What just happened back there Koji? And what did our phones turn into?" Kiari said as they heard a female voice coming from their strange devices.
"Welcome to the Digital World you two. These devices are your detectors."
"What did she mean by Digital World? Is this some sort of a joke or something?" Koji said as he and Kiari received another message on their detectors.
"You two must commence your search for your spirits. Find your spirits to find what you came for."
"Not good enough. I'm not some lap dog you can just order around you know." Koji said as Kiari giggled about what Koji just said. "What is this spirit anyway?"
"I don't know, but I suggest we start looking for our spirits if we want more answers. I just wish we knew where to start looking." Kiari said as some sort of tracker appeared out of Koji detector and had a signal on a spirit. "I guess that answers the question."
