Chapter 2-

Ha! Chapter two is done! I wrote in it in about 2 1/2 hours on Wednesday, on notebook paper, a personal best for me. But, due to a hectic schedule, slow net connections, and other troubles (Like the fact I share this computer with my parents and pain-in-the-neck little brother) I wasn't able to get it posted 'til today. Thanks for the reviews for the first part. It really encouraged me to write this. This part focuses on Aki, and she's different then originally intended- oh well. I outlined my fic yesterday, and it'll be approximately 10 chapters, probably a few more than that.

Oh yeah, one question...
1 thing, what about a guy? Well, I stared this fic as a response to the fact that there are more guy than girl digi-destined. Also, I'm a girl, so I find it easier to write in a female POV than a guys, but I dunno. More characters will show up later.

Disclaimer still applies, so here's the fic!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Aki opened her eyes slowly, also stretching her arms out in a half-hearted attempt to awaken. She blinked several times, and sitting, right in front of her, was a mouse, if you could call it that. It looked like a mouse, but was MUCH bigger than one. Aki studied it carefully. It was about as big as a medium-sized dog. The 'mouse' was gray and white, and it looked like it had been waiting for her to awaken.

"Um, hello?" Aki asked the mouse uncertainly.

"Oh, good, you're awake! Do you feel okay?"

"I'm alright, but who are you, and where am I?"

"Oh. I'm Moudramon, and you're in the digi-world!" she exclaimed.

"Huh?"

"Well, I'm your partner, and you are in the Digi-World, more specifically, the Southern section of the Digital World, on the continent of Data."

"That explains a lot." Aki muttered sarcastically.

Moudramon looked hurt. "Sorry. I'm guess I'm not explaining things very well."

"No, it's okay, Moudramon. I'm just a little confused, that's all."

"Oh. Well, would you understand better if you explored the area some?"

"Yeah, maybe. You can show me around your home, Moudramon, and I'll tell you about mine!"

"Where are you from, Aki?"

"A way different place than this." Aki paused for a moment. "Hey! How do you know my name?"

"I just knew it. I've been waiting for you, Aki."

"Well, okay, I guess." Aki smiled somewhat meekly. "Where to first?"

"Oh, I don't know. How about over there?" Moudramon pointed towards a mountain in the distance. "That's where I'm from."

"Okay, so how far away is it?"

"Only three miles."

"Only!?"

"You SAID."

"Well, come on then!" Aki started to walk toward the mountain.

"So, tell me about your home." Moudramon asked as they walked along.

"Okay, well, where I'm from, there are lots of people, and huge buildings, and television, and my violin and..." Aki continued describing her home to Moudramon, who listened intently.

After about twenty minutes or so, Aki stopped talking. "Sorry, Mou. I guess I'm boring you. I sometimes get a little carried away."

"It's fine, Aki. I like hearing you talk. Now you said you had a violin. Um, what is it?"

"Er, Moudramon, it's a musical instrument."

"Well, what's that?"

"An instrument is something you play that makes music."

"Music?"

"You, know, music."

"Nope." "Ah, well, it's kinda hard to explain." Aki sweatdropped slightly.

"Where you're from's complicated!"

"Ya know, I think I've heard of you before." Aki said, changing the subject.

"How?"

"Not of you, but of things like you. On a TV show my sister watches, there's a pink bird, a batpig, a weird lizard, and a few others. I don't remember exactly."

Oh! You're talking about Biyomon, Patamon, and Agumon!" Moudramon answered.

"I guess."

"We're almost at my village."

"What's there, Moudra?" asked Aki.

"Well, I have a small cabin there. Mostly Deramon and Pumpkinmon live in the village, but also a Shimamon, Maubimon, and Perromon live there."

"Cool."

"Also," Moudramon continued, "I'm sure the Deramon and Pumpkinmon will want to meet you."

The two had just arrived at the base of the mountain.

"Now, all we have to do is climb!" chirped Moudramon cheerfully.

"Greeeeeeat." muttered Aki slightly sarcastically, but she did start to climb the mountain, following Moudramon's lead.

A while later, the duo had reached the top.

"Aki, see my village in the valley?"

"Yeah, so we start climbing down?"

"That's right!" Moudramon proceeded down the mountain, with Aki following close behind her.

Moudramon's village was tiny, five straight rows of small straw and wood cabins, with a large forest located to the east of the village. Assorted Deramon and Pumpkinmon were working and playing outside in the sunshine. Several greeted Moudramon as she showed Aki through the village.

"Hiya Moudramon!" greeted one Deramon. "What's the thing with you?"

"Oh, she's Aki, you know the one I was waiting for."

"You found her?"

"Yep!"

"Uh, hello." Aki said meekly, unsure of what else to say.

"Are you a Digimon, Aki?" the Deramon asked.

"No! I'm a human!"

"What's that?" questioned the Deramon.

"I'm not sure exactly," replied Moudramon.

Sensing the conversation was over, the Deramon said good-bye to Aki and Moudramon and headed off to do its work.

"Hey Aki, my home is the next one."

"Cool, let's go inside."

The cabin was simple, a one roomed place, with a cupboard, a fireplace in the corner, four beds were placed in one section of the room, and in the middle of the cabin was a table with four chairs.

"Do you live here alone?" asked Aki while she examined the cabin.

"Nope. I live here with Shimamon, Maubimon, and Perromon. They were also waiting for someone. We separated to look for them when we sensed they had arrived in the Digital World."

"Interesting. Hey, have you got anything to eat?" Aki asked, eyeing the cupboard hungrily. "I haven't eaten all day."

"Well, there's some fruit in the cupboard."

Aki and Moudramon were eating quietly when a loud bang was heard outside. They ran outside, only to see that a digimon was attacking the village.

"Quick! What is it?"

Digi-Analyzer screen pops up. Moudramon provides the commentary.
That is SteelMetamon, a Champion Level digimon with a bad attitude, and a very nasty Nightmare Scream attack!

"Just great."

"What should we do?"

"I think you should attack, Mou."

"Well, okay."

Blue Thunder Beam!

Moudramon's attack hit SteelMetamon on the arm, grabbing the digimon's attention.

Nightmare Scream!

The attack hit Moudramon on her shoulder.

"Moudramon! Are you okay?" Aki asked, full of concern for her digimon.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Moudramon faced SteelMetamon again.

Blue Thunder Beam!

The attack hit SteelMetamon, and the battle raged on. Back and forth the attacks went, reminding Aki of a ping-pong match.

Aki anxiously watched the battle, hoping that her digimon would be all right. As the two digimon fought, she stood at the edge of the forest, with the Deramon and Pumpkinmon, away from the battle area. Eventually, they realized that Moudramon was getting the better of SteelMetamon's attacks. Realizing that she shouldn't confront the two digimon, but wanting to help, Aki grabbed the shiny metal object that brought her to the digi-world, and pointed it at Moudramon. There was a huge burst of light, then suddenly...

Moudramon digivolve to... Nezumimon!

Digi-Analyzer screen appears, and Nezumimon speaks.
I am Nezumimon, the Champion level form of Moudramon. I'm a fierce fighter, and should now be able to beat SteelMetamon!

Nezumimon looked a lot like Moudramon, except that now it was a good six feet tall, and solid white with gray feet.

"Cool! Moudramon digivolved to Nezumimon!"

"Now its time to finish this fight." cried Nezumimon. She faced SteelMetamon and prepared to attack.

Tornado Wind!

The attack hit SteelMetamon squarely, and defeated him. With that, Nezumimon de-digivolved back to Moudramon.

"Wow! Are you okay?" asked Aki, now picking up Moudramon and examining her.

"I'm fine, just hungry." And if to prove that, Moudramon's stomach growled.

"Why? Didn't you just eat?"

"Digi-volving takes a lot of energy out of you."

"I see. I guess we should go back to your place and get you some food then."

At Moudramon's home, Aki sat quietly by the fireplace, looking out the window to the forest, while Moudramon ate. "Hey, Moudramon?"

"Hmm?" the digimon replied, her mouth full.

"Let's go explore the forest after you eat."

"Sure!" With that, Moudramon was on her feet and out the door in a flash, Aki following close behind.

As they approached the forest, they could here two voices, both female, yelling at digimon.

"What's going on?" questioned Aki, following Moudramon's lead and hiding behind a bush.

"I'm not sure... Hey! The two digimon the girls are yelling at are my friends, Shimamon and Maubimon! The third digimon is Fangmon, I think, and he's attacking them!"

"Well, do you want to help?" whispered Aki.

"Yes, of course, but how?"

"Well, if you aimed an attack right at Fangmon's head, it would create a diversion, and they could escape."

"Good idea! Here goes..."

Blue Thunder Beam!

Then as quickly as Moudramon attacked, the two ran away.

"Do you think it was okay to leave them?"

"Yeah, they were leaving there too. It wouldn't have been wise to hang around.

"Okay, so now what?"

"Well, it's getting late, so let's head back to the village and stay at your place tonight, Moudramon."

"That would be best."

The two walked the rest of the way to the village in silence, with the sun starting to set slowly behind them.

Back at Moudramon's cabin, Moudramon made a makeshift bed for Aki, while she stared out the window at the sunset, obviously lost in thought.

Moudramon didn't want to disturb her, so she just continued working, now building a small fire in the fireplace.

Finally, Aki broke the silence. "You know, normally, I'm just like I was a second ago, always quiet and lost in a daydream. Somehow, you make me open up, talk more. It's just something about you, and this world. It's only been a day, yet I feel I've changed since I've gotten here."

"Really? I'm flattered." Moudramon answered, moving next to Aki. "So, tomorrow, should we try to find the other two?"

"Yeah. I think they're here for the same reason I am."

"Which is?"

"That's the thing, I don't know. But I want to know." Aki glanced out the window and saw that it had begun to rain. "I hope this place doesn't leak, it looks like it's going to pour tonight." she remarked.

"Yes, we'll be dry tonight. Just go to sleep and relax. We've got a lot to do tomorrow."

"Yeah, you're right. Good night."

"Night, Aki."

And the girl and her digimon drifted off into a content sleep, full of questions about what might happen, and the goal for tomorrow.

DONE! ^_^ If you liked it, if you didn't like it, or whatever, review! I won't post or work on any further chapters unless I get at least a few reviews.
