I already love the first chapter! I can't wait for more! Personally, I'm used to reading 3rd-person stories, so it'd be a good change to see you do a 1st-person!
I'm glad people are enjoying this. I was having doubts at first, but they're all cleared up now!

I'm really liking the story. ^-^ Poor Hiroto, his sister is so mean. _ I think its fine to keep it as first person. Gives a feel for what he's thinking. Can't wait for the next chapter. ^-^
Haha, I made Hiroto's sister like that for a reason. And thanks for preferring first person stories, I wanted to write those.

OMG is Hiroto from the inazuma 11 series?
Also, your writing is amazing! Your first person views are great!
I actually liked the name before I even watched Inazuma Eleven, but when I saw there was also another Hiroto, I said 'Wow, so cool!' and you get the picture.

Digimon Miracles

The Start of Miracles

Chapter 2: Digimon

Okay, I've seen some really weird and freaky stuff in my life. But all those things had connections to humans, such as wearing a costume or just someone's unchangeable habit. But this had to be the freakiest. The monster yelled, sending a chill up my spine. I could tell everyone was scared too, since they all looked at it and weren't moving a step as well.

It slowly stepped up from the water, still standing on all fours. It crushed a surfboard under its leg, breaking it in two. It wasn't until someone yelled "Get out of there!" that we were snapped back to our senses. As much as I'd hate to admit it, I tripped and fell on the sand. I wasn't injured, but I was about to get something much worse.

The monster leapt at me, looking at me like I was his first ever meal in a thousand years. It curved into a ball and rolled towards me. I only had time to jump to one side, saving my vital organs, but leaving a cut on my arm. It was a miracle I was even able to evade that hit, seeing as it came to me at more than 70 kilometres per hour.

The bus must've left without me, as I found I was deserted at the beach. I was the only person left there. Nothing else was around other than beach umbrellas and picnic baskets. Even some food was left behind. Maybe if I could lure the monster there I could preoccupy it while I, I don't know, run? Too stupid, won't work, so I won't try it.

"Hey, there you are!" a voice suddenly said from behind me. It was a cute voice, something like... sorry, my mind's too clogged up right now to think of a way to describe it. Maybe it's because I'm trying to run for my life?

I looked back and saw a blue creature falling from the sky. The lower part of its face and front part of its body was white, whereas the rest of its body was blue. It had two crooked and pointed ears. There was a small V sign on its forehead, as well as a tear-shaped mark on each of its cheeks. Its hands were balled up into fists, and its legs had claws that could've torn through iron.

"I've been looking all over for you!" the blue monster said.

"What?" was the only reply I could muster up the courage to say. There were two monsters surrounding me, and the only thing in my mind was whether I would be eaten by the one that emerged from the sea, or the one from the sky.

Once more, the sea monster rolled towards me. Then the blue one did something insane. It smacked it by the side, redirecting it into a sandcastle. It was stuck in a huge sandcastle (I guess those hamster-sized castles are useful after all), struggling to get out.

"Calm down," the blue monster said. "I won't hurt you."

Yeah, that's what most bullies say before they pound you into oblivion. Trust me, I speak from experience.

Suddenly, the sea creature broke free from its sandy prison and smacked into the blue one. As freaked out as I was now, I would rather get hit than let it hit the other one. I don't know why, but I've taken a liking towards that blue one. I guess it must've been the fact that it didn't try to annihilate me on the spot?

I grabbed one of the spikes protruding from the monsters back and pulled it up. I swung it around and around, before letting go, throwing it into the sea. My mind must've went bonkers, because I had the chance to run, yet I went to check on my little blue friend.

"You okay?" I asked.

He looked dazed, lying in the middle of a shallow sand pit. "Do you have any chocolate?" he asked randomly. His eyes were swirling like he'd been riding a rollercoaster.

"Coming from you, I guess that's going to be a yes," I said.

The sea monster came charging at me again, but then a sudden nerve in me tingled. It was like a reaction was trying to take command. I let it take over, knowing full well that I might die, yet something bizarre happened. I grabbed the sky monster's hand and flung it at the other one. He kicked it right in the face, before launching me out.

I thought I was crazy, but I caught the sea monster in midair, using my momentum to pull it out. When I realized I was slowing down, I spun around, before letting it go. The last I saw of it, it was sailing through the sky like an out-of-control plane.

I lay down on the sand, still freaked out by what had just happened. The blue monster did the same thing. "Sure is a tough life being a digidestined, huh?" it asked me. I was taken aback. A digidestined? What in the world was that? I was about to realize when it clamped a hand over its mouth.

"Whoops, shouldn't have said that," the blue monster said. "Can you do me a favour?" I nodded, seeing as I was too tired to talk. "Forget you heard the last part."

"Why don't I just forget you? That would be much easier," I know that wasn't the right thing to do, but still, my mind was racing with questions. What are you? What's your name? What do they call you? Do you know who attacked me? Where did you come from? But I just kept silent.

"Because we're destined to be together," the creature said. Then he got up. "My name is Veemon."

I got up as well, getting to the part of introducing myself, when he head butted me in the forehead. You should've felt it. Correction, you shouldn't have felt it. It was like metal, it was like diamond, it was like something even harder than the hardest material you could ever think of with the hardest brain around. Okay, I've overused the word 'hard', haven't I?

"What was that for?" I asked in anger, rubbing my forehead.

"That's how we say hello in my world," he explained. He was about to do that again when I stopped him.

"Oh no, you're in my world now, and this is how we say hello," I extended a hand to him. He must not have gotten the idea, since he headbutted my hand next. I could tell I would have ugly writing for the whole next week. "No, you shake it, not head butt it," I said.

He took my hand with both his hands and then shook it with all his might. If I weren't bigger sized than him, my eyeballs would've popped out. "This is a weird way of saying hello, but it's fun!" Veemon said. He kept shaking me until I felt my bones tearing off.

"No! Lightly," I sighed. "This is going to take a lot of work."

Later that day, I crept into the Kiyoshi mansion from the back door. It was evening and there shouldn't be anyone there, except for Yuki, but she was probably off terrorizing boys with her girlfriends or something. That's also another reason I hated her. I'm also adding in the fact that she left me alone to die with the sea monster, which Veemon told me was Gizamon.

Veemon was creeping alongside me. "Where are we going? Stealth mission?"

"Something like that," I replied. "Listen, we can't let anyone, absolutely anyone hear you. If they do, they're going to catch you and throw you to the pound."

"Pound?" Veemon asked. I shushed him immediately. "What's a pound? Is there food in the pound? I would like to go there someday if there's food." I had to shush him a second time to make sure he stayed quiet.

"In the pound, there's almost nothing good. You fight with other dogs all day that might rip your head off. They give you intestines to eat, and something."

"Doesn't sound too good," Veemon replied. I felt relieved because he was speaking softly this time. Also, no one had caught us and we were already creeping up the stairs. "I'm getting tired," he said after a while. Then he glowed white and turned smaller. He was almost the same, only that the yellow V sign on his head as well as the yellow tear-shaped marks were gone.

"What happened?" I asked, surprised.

"Oh, this?" Veemon said as though it was no big deal. Turns out, it wasn't. "This is what happens when we lose our energy. We degenerate into a lower level to conserve it. Now I'm DemiVeemon!"

"I would prefer calling you Veemon. So can you change back?" I asked.

"Of course we can!" he yelled. That was a little too loud in my opinion. I figured Rinji would be coming down to check if it was me, but after a whole minute there wasn't a single response. "What kind of a stupid question is that?" I had to shush him again.

"If my brother catches you, who knows what'll happen to the both of us? We might not even live another day! Now shush or else!"

"Or else what?" he asked. It was hard to get angry with him sounding so cute all the time.

"Just or else!"

We got to my room without any casualties and I locked the door behind me. "You said you didn't have anywhere to stay, so you're going to be staying with me."

"Alright! Do we get to play games often?" he sounded excited. "Let's start with head-smash! Then we can play 'Who Has The Hardest Head'!"

"No, no, no. We're playing none of those games," I said, a little worried about the shape of my head if I agreed. "Here, you can try out the new PS3 game 'Start The Party' while I check out the refrigerator for some food."

"Oh boy! This is going to be fun! I get to live with my digidestined partner!" he said enthusiastically as he put the disc in with a little difficulty. I was worried the disc would break.

But that term came up again. Digidestined. What was that? I kept asking myself over and over again, trying to reference it to anything I've studied before. After I was halfway down the stairs, I came to a conclusion. I had absolutely no idea who or what it was.

And I also took into consideration the risk of Rinji coming across him. If Veemon could... what was that word... oh, right, degenerate. If only Veemon could degenerate a level lower than he was now, we might stand a chance of hiding him. The closet? Too dusty. The drawer? Too small. Under the bed? Too dark. But if he could already fit in my bag, then it would be just right.

I wondered where everyone was. I'd been in the house for ten minutes and I haven't heard a single sound. I was halfway up the stairs holding two apples in my hands now. Then, the front door opened and I heard Rinji's voice. Not the 'I-am-worried-about-what-happened-to-my-brother' type of voice, but the 'I-am-going-to-kill-him-when-he-gets-back' type of voice.

"Calm down, Rinji," Mai comforted. "It's not your fault Hiroto is so rebellious."

"I should've known that he would try to sneak off today when he asked me if he could go on the class trip two days ago," Rinji said.

"Luckily Yuki wouldn't sneak off or anything," Mai complimented, almost making me throw up as Yuki put on an innocent face.

I hurried up the stairs and locked my room. I was presumed missing by my brother and sisters yet they weren't worried about me. They were angry that I didn't show up. I should've just let that monster eat me instead of returning here.

"Here," I handed one apple to Veemon, who was trying to get the hand of holding the controller instead of bashing it with his head. "Why do you have to bash everything with your head?"

"It's what we do where I come from," Veemon explained. "That's why our heads are solid like metal!"

I wanted to say 'More like harder than metal', but then Rinji's voice came echoing up the stairs. "Veemon, hide!" I said, pushing him into the closet. "I'll come get you! Just stay quiet!" I then grabbed the controller and started playing Start The Party to evade certain death from Rinji.

"What are you doing?" Rinji asked as he opened the door.

"Playing PS3," I replied. "What's wrong with that?"

"I meant what are you doing here?" Rinji asked in a stern voice. "Everyone was worried sick about you. Now go down and apologize to Mai and especially Yuki. She's the one who ran for help. If it wasn't for her, you might not have made it. You're lucky the cops managed to fend that burglar off."

I was about to say that there wasn't a burglar when I thought otherwise. Rinji wouldn't be convinced. I dropped the controlled onto my bed and slumped downstairs. Yuki was waiting there with a triumphant smile etched on her face.

"Sorry for worrying you, Mai, and I'm sorry I gave you all the trouble, Yuki," I said half-heartedly. Yuki ran away, not ran for help. I didn't see why I had to thank her and give her a reward or something. "What can I do to make it up to you?"

"Let's see..." I could tell Yuki was going through how to torture me so that I was humiliated in public and humiliated the most. Worst part is, whatever it was, Rinji and Mai would have me do it. I once had to be her servant in school for a whole week, getting her food, staying out of practice just to dry her hair, all that stupid stuff.

I was expecting her to ask me to do her laundry for a whole month, treat her like a princess wherever she was for two whole weeks, or simply go without a certain meal for a week. It was always something embarrassing or humiliating or torturing.

"I want you to let my team score ten goals in the first half tomorrow during practice," she said after thinking it over. "And you can't score any goals in the first half. Deal?"

I was reluctant to answer. This wasn't a choice for me to make. This was a choice the whole team had to agree on. But I didn't have time to call them, not that Rinji or Mai would let me, anyway.

"Fine," I said, before going back up to bed. It was going to be one heck of a match.

So how's the story so far? Yeah, and for your information, Yuki always has something up her sleeves. Please read and review.
