A/N: Hey, this would have been out yesterday, but I had a project to put together and when that got finished I had forgot and I needed to buy food and stuff, so... yeah.

Hello again, Capp! And hi yamiyugi23, I've seen you all over the a/m forum and Pokemon and stuff so I'm happy you decided to give this one a try... though I do apologize that this is the first in the Lightverse that you've read, cause... um... yeah. Hahaha, I'll just leave it there. Thanks for all the support guys!

As always, please read and drop a review if you can! I haven't bitten anyone so far!... okay I probably shouldn't say that. Happy reading!

"I'm Koromon."

Cause that means something.

Taichi has calmed down, and is sitting near Hikari's feet, watching the pink Digimon practically eat the wrapper the snacks came in. Now he knows how she feels watching him at dinner. Poor kid looks nauseous.

"I'm Taichi," her brother says like he is imparting great wisdom. "This is Nee-chan."

Full sentences. Taichi must like this critter. He usually only uses full sentences for her.

Hikari isn't sure how to feel about that. "Hikari" she corrects instead because it's better than confusing the creature. Then again, it can talk, so maybe it's not that easy to confuse.

"Taichi," it repeats, red eyes huge and framed by chocolate and crumbs. "Hikari." It pauses for a moment. "Thanks for the food."

Hikari has to scramble aside to avoid the tackling launch of pink blob to face but Taichi isn't so lucky. Her brother goes stock-still and she works to yank the heavy creature off his head.

"Was just bein' friendly," it sulks after.

Taichi wipes spit from his face. "Friends are slobbery."

"Why we don't have a dog," Hikari murmurs.

Koromon bounces to her. "Don't be mean!" His voice is higher than before and brighter, like the longer he looks at her, the more he likes her. She hasn't seen someone look at her like that since Taichi and it makes her squirm with discomfort, toes suddenly cold.

Then she hears the sound of jingling keys and her eyes widen.

"Taichi! Room!"

Taichi thankfully knows what that means and grabs Koromon by the feeler... ear... thingies and runs to their bedroom.

By the time their mother opens the door, the room is clean like before and Hikari can easily blame the crumbs on Miko. Her mother won't know any better.
