Secrets and the New Student

"Who are you?" I asked, it was all I could manage.

The wolf seemed to be trying to get a focuses on his surroundings before looking at me. It felt strange to have those amber gold eyes staring at me, but not as strange as what happened next.

"Mariko? Is it you?" he asked, his voice was low and had a growl to it.

If it wasn't against my nature I would have yelled and demanded how he knew that name, but instead.

"No, my name's ally" I said.

His ears drooped a bit as I answered his question, "sorry, but you looked like an old friend of mine" he said.

Wait! What! He met her! But how come she never mentioned him? Wait a second how did she? digimon aren't real! I thought.

"What's your name?" I asked, I was stilled in shock mode.

"My names strabimon warrior of light or at least training to be a warrior" he answered.

Well that explained the reason he had the marking for light but I had no idea what a warrior of light was.

"Strabimon, well nice to meet you" I said extending my hand.

Maybe after I stop freaking out I can ask some questions like how he got here and why he was in my dreams.

He was mindful of his claws as he took my hand," nice to meet you ally" saying my name.

Again it was quiet only the rain outside could be heard, along with thunder. I was trying to organize my thoughts this was to weird, digimon was just a show they couldn't be real.

But the real thing was standing right in front of-where'd he go?

I guess I was thinking for too long as strabimon wasn't in front of me anymore.

"Strabimon?" I asked.

"You look a lot like Mariko, are you related?" he asked as I saw him on my left he was almost as tall as I was.

"Kinda, but how did you get here?" I asked, I didn't want to talk about her at the moment I was to confused.

"Your guess is as good as mine, one minute I'm taking a nap in the woods next thing I know I'm here" he said.

"Did you ever have any strange dreams at least a few weeks before this" I asked.

"Now that you mention it I did, I don't remember much though" he said scratching his head.

I sighed, you know a normal kid would be happy to meet a digimon and get a digivice, that meant they were partners but for me it just meant trouble.

"This is too weird" I mumbled, rubbing my temples.

"I wonder what's wrong now?" said strabimon.

I wonder what he meant by that? then I remembered something my dad! If he even saw strabimon, I didn't want to even imagine what would happen.

"All rain and no fun, who likes rain anyway" said strabimon who was looking out the window.

"You don't like the rain?" I asked, random subject but at least nothing bad like in the show is happening.

I really don't need to explain a kuwagamon in my room, I thought thinking of the first episode of season one.

"Nah, wet furs the worst my brother hates it too, but rainmon's all for it" he said.

"You have friends back were you come from?" I asked, I just noticed I haven't stuttered once since I saw him.

That's not natural maybe it's because he's a digimon and not a person.

"Yeah, were more like family though, theirs ten of us all together but me and my brother are related by blood since were two sides of the same coin" he explained.

Two sides of the same coin? What did that mean?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing you have any food around here I haven't eaten since home" he said changing the subject.

"Yeah, but can you-"I was saying.

"Stay here? Got it" he said, it was like he knew what was going on.

The house had gotten dark in the short time I was in my room; I saw a clock only to see it was almost five.

But I wasn't up there that long it couldn't be that late, but then again a person just doesn't meet a digimon, get a digivice and find out said digimon may have known someone else before them.

For once I was happy dad wasn't around but that would make hiding strabimon a lot easier, just as long as he didn't attract attention to himself, then again his size would be a problem.

Relying on my knowledge of digimon, okay the show I grabbed a few random items of food. Like some fruit and some sweets I had, if he ate meat I was in trouble since I didn't have any at the moment.

I went back to my room to find him sniff around the place, he was currently poking a stuffed bear I had on my shelf.

"Hey strabimon" I said as I surprised him.

"It was the bear!" he randomly said.

Probably thought he was in trouble" I brought some food, I don't know what you like to eat though" I said placing the items on my desk.

"Anything will do just as long as it's not fish" he said taking one of the apples and eating it.

"Why? You don't like fish?" I asked taking a pear I brought for myself.

All this happening and only now I remember to eat.

"Apparently it's offensive to eat fish when one of your friends happens to look like one" he answered.

Well I could understand that at least" what's this?" asked strabimon poking one of the candy bars I brought.

"Its candy" I said as he still poked it, what's with him and poking?

"Can you eat it?" he asked, don't they have candy in the digital world?

"Yeah just don't" I stopped short as he placed it in his mouth wrapper and all.

He seemed kind of disgusted" eat it with the wrapper" I said, I wanted to laugh but it's not my style.

"Blech, humans have strange taste in food" he said using his claws to get rid of anything in his mouth.

"You were supposed to take the wrapper off first" I said showing him.

"If its food then why is it wrapped? wouldn't it be easier to just have them opened" he said.

Well he did have a point their "humans are still as weird as the first time I met them" he said instead eating another apple.

"How many do you know?" I asked, and how did he know her?

"Only one, mariko we weren't friends long though" he said.

"Why? Did you guys have a fight?" I asked him.

"No, I got pulled out of my world and into this one by accident, Mariko helped me" he said.

"Good thing to since it turns out I wasn't the only one pulled into the human world, things got sort a chaotic with all the lost digimon who appeared in the human world" he continued.

"so mariko helped me stopped some of them so we could try to find a way home, eventually the same force that brought me and all those others to this world took us back" he finished.

"And what about Mariko?" I asked.

"I don't know, time in my world passes faster than yours who knows how long it's been" he said.

So the digital world they lived in was like season one of digimon and the same things like digimon randomly appearing in the human world to.

"This device you know I've seen it before" said strabimon pulling me from my thoughts.

He was holding the digivice he had appeared from as I took it "what do you mean? Is this yours?" I asked.

"No, I think I saw someone in the digital world once with it, only it was a darker blue and he had a monodramon" said strabimon.

"There are more people with these?" I asked well in the show there were other digidestine.

"Yeah, he was fighting a digimon, but I don't know who he is other than he's a human" strabimon said.

"I guess this means were partners then" I said I hoped strabimon wouldn't mind.

"Partners?" he asked.

"Well, think about it as friends who help each other" I said.

"Like back home, we all help each other even if we do disagree" he said.

"Yeah, so what do you say?" I asked hoping he'd say yes.

I was interested in knowing more about the first time he was here and how he knew her.

"Sure, it'll be like before just without digimon running ramped all over the place" he said remembering his first experience in the human world.

Yeah, he didn't have too much fun especially with the mammothmon.

Unknown to them something else had appeared in the human world.

A large dog like digimon was sniffing around the park; its golden eyes seemed to be searching for something. The only features that could be seen were its golden eyes and golden fur collar.

It let out a growl of annoyance it was here he knew it was but where?

Meanwhile a small white digimon with a red triangle on its head, green eyes and purple markings was hiding from it.

But it didn't seem worried it was like hide and seek, considering the dog was growling for him to show himself.

His growling was interrupted by fire as he was attacked, in a few short moments he was absorbed by the newcomer.

"Good job, another one bites the dust, get it dust" giggled a voice.

The one who had attacked the dog laughed as well before both decided to vanish into the cover of night.

"Aww, but I wanted to play" said the little digimon with its ears drooping.

"Oh well, maybe they want to play" said the digimon excited and decided to follow the two.

Though the rain did make it hard and the wind pushed him off course. He ended up in a tree and decided it might be better to stay there.

Strabimon was pacing back and forth on all fours, more with thinking than not being able to sleep.

He had talked with ally for awhile she was an interesting human, she was nice but at the same time her exterior was cold.

What bothered him was her looks, she looked so much like Mariko but at the same time she was the complete opposite of his old friend.

The ribbons she owned he remembered those he gave them to Mariko as a gift, which only made him more confused.

Did Mariko give them to her? If she did then why?

All this thinking was making his head hurt, where's flectmon when you needed him.

He looked at the girl who was asleep; she said she had school whatever that was tomorrow and that he should stay in her room.

He wondered why she resembled his friend so much but he would find out.

Just as long as he didn't get caught, ally had told him what could happen if other humans spotted him.

Not that he needed a reminder, the first time these humans had tried to kill them thinking they were monster's which they were.

But that didn't mean they were there to cause trouble, they were just lost in the wrong world.

He sighed, no point thinking about his questions now; they weren't going to be answered anytime soon.

He decided to at least try to get some rest, he laid himself on the ground near the window, the floor wasn't as comfortable as grass but at least he had a window view.

He just wonder how he was going to figure out how to get home this time, he bet the other's were worried especially his brother.

He fell asleep unaware that another set of eyes closed with similar thoughts.

He had to admit he had a lot of strange awakenings before, like having your best friend pounce you awake or waking up in a snowstorm or on a raft in the middle of the ocean but he had never woken up to a loud earsplitting ring.

He awoke with his ears ringing, literally ringing as he awoke covering his ears.

"That things louder than a mad kokatorimon" he said.

He noticed ally wasn't in the room as her door opened and it was her, she had change out of the cloths she had yesterday.

She seemed to realize her alarm was hurting his ears and turned it off" sorry strabimon, that my alarm clock it's suppose to wake me up not that I needed it, I forgot wolves have sensitive ears" she said.

She had changed into a pale green shirt and dark blue jeans, her hair was in the same style as it was before and she was wearing her ribbons again.

"Strabimon, I need you to do me a favor and stay here when I'm at school" she said.

"In the house?" he asked.

"No in my room, I can't let my dad know you're here so promise me okay, I'll be back in a few hours" she said.

"Okay, you have any food?" he asked.

"Yeah, there's some on my drawer I brought some fruit so you wouldn't have to get out" ally said.

He wondered why she seemed so nervous but he would do what she said, after all his last experience in this world wasn't a pleasant one.

Besides meeting Mariko it was pretty chaotic.

"Just make sure you stay here, I have to leave" said ally grabbing her bag and leaving.

Strabimon stared at were she had been, she was in a hurry he wondered what exactly school was.

He could follow her just to see for himself, but ally told him not to leave.

Then again he would probably die of boredom if he stayed, making up his mind he decided using the window would be easier after all how different could it be from climbing down a tree.

Ally was walking to school as usual only now she had a lot on her mind maybe a little too much.

She first was wondering what she was going to do with strabimon, she couldn't hide him in her room forever if he had been smaller like veemon sure she could.

But with him being almost her height it would cause trouble on were to hide him if her dad came home.

Like déjà vu she once again hit someone "sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! And, hey ally! Remember me!" said a very familiar voice.

She rubbed her forehead happy she hadn't fallen this time and looked up to see yori.

She was now wearing a lavender shirt and a white skirt. Her hair wasn't in its ponytail anymore showing it went a little to her back. She was wearing the same backpack from yesterday too.

"Yori what are you doing here?" ally asked.

"Remember I'm starting school today silly" she said happily.

She winced a bit at her happy tone; ally wasn't used to someone being so friendly beside Jeri.

"Y-yeah, I-I remember" she said stuttering, so much for not stuttering.

"How could you forget, oh yeah, we just met yesterday, Come on I want to get to school early that way we can talk for awhile!" she came on shy at first but became excited by the end.

She grabbed her hand and stated to pull her along, surprising ally.

"You d-don't have to p-pull me" ally said as yori released her grip.

"Sorry, force of habit" she said.

Ally shook her head as they walked to school together, she let her do the talking and had to admit it was nice having someone to talk to.

Maybe the reason she was so conformable with her was because she reminded her of Jeri, a very excitable version of her.

But while they talked ally couldn't shake the feeling she was being followed.

She was probably imagining things, the school was now visible and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Yori hadn't heard the rumors yet and when she did she'd probably leave her behind like everyone else (minus Jeri)

"Hey y-yori I-I'm going to h-head to class, y-you should g-go find yours "ally said she was really nervous as others started to notice them.

"But I wanted you to come with me" she said.

"I-I have t-to go" she said leaving yori behind.

Yori was about to go after her but was stopped by some girls.

"Hey, we've never seen you around are you new?" asked a browned haired girl.

"Yeah, I just started today" she said answering the question.

"Well that explains why you were talking to Yamaki" spat a black haired girl.

"What about her?" asked yori, she was confused they talked about ally like if she was the enemy?

"Looks like you haven't heard we'll tell ya how horrible of a person she is" said a redhead.

Yori was soon pulled into a conversation about ally as the three girls told her all the horrible things she did and about how stuck up she was.

Ally was watching from the door and went back inside, their went her chance for a friend.

It didn't matter she had to remember be alone no friends, they'll only leave you behind for the crowed.

She repeated her actions of yesterday sitting in her desk, Jeri came and tried to talk to her again but ally didn't responded.

Jeri was used to this she would always try to talk to her but she would stop when the bell rang starting class.

This time the teacher made an announcement that they had a new student in the class, her stomach was in knots as she saw it was yori.

What were the odds of that? She thought.

"Hi my name's Yori Ayumi it's nice to meet you all" she said in her same nice tone.

A few whispers were heard as some of the girls admired her unusual eye color, while some of the boys said she was pretty.

"You can take a seat anywhere theirs an empty one" said the teacher as yori looked at the few empty desk.

There was one beside ally as people didn't like being near her, Jeri was a few seats in front.

To ally's surprise and to the other students in the class she sat in the desk beside her.

She looked at the girl but not with that same look of hate like the others but with the same kind face she seemed to always where.

"Can we talk after school" she whispered to her.

Ally nodded she already had a pretty good idea about what yori wanted to talk about.

Class began were they had left off yesterday, before they were evacuated out of the school.

Now that she thought about it maybe it had been a digimon, she remembered someone mentioning a dinosaur.

If only she knew the previous days chaos was about to be repeated all because a little wolf was too curious for his own good.

It would turn out to be a good thing and a bad one all in one, she was about to discover a lot of reasons for why her dad hated digimon.

And find out she wasn't the only one who had a partner.

And there's two don't worry she'll meet the others eventually after all AU universe also I bet you noticed strabimons a bit on the weird side. I decided I wanted strabimon to be funny who says he had to be a buzz kill and jerk like kouji we already have rika and renamon for that. Not that I hate kouji I just wanted a funny strabimon, hope you review till next time!
