A/N: Some parts of this would make a better Takari but it's too common and I like Yakari better. This is a Digimon version of the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I really liked the 1991 movie, so I decided to read the book last summer. I have changed some of the major and the minor details, a lot actually but the storyline remains the same. This fic takes place both in the Digital World and Earth in the futuristic times. Oh yeah, and Takeru and Yamato ARE NOT siblings in fic. If you do not like Yakari... LEAVE! Leave immediately! Well, enjoy! --Elione Ishida

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Toei and Bandai does so don't email me to ask me to sell it to you!

A Tale of Two Dimensions

by: Elione Ishida

Setting: 1000 years after the DD return from the Digital World, the Digidestined are reincarnated somehow. (I got this idea from a SM fic I read so I'm not entirely insane!)

Once upon a universe, there were two parallel worlds, the Digital World and Earth. Both were very similar and advanced. The inhabitants, however, were very different. In the Digital World, Digimon lived. On Earth, humans thrived. For many a millennia, Neither knew that other worlds existed except for a few wise humanoids and Digimon. After a group of meddlesome kids arrived, that knowledge was totally broken. Years after they left, humans began to move to the Digiworld, as Earth was beginning to get overcrowded. As the number of humans increased in the Digiworld, the humans started to treat Digimon badly, not all humans, but some. Humans and Digimon who tried to stop this abuse were all killed in the process of trying. The humans who started this mistreatment of Digimon were almost always the rich, millionaires who needed servants. As time was passing, a small group of Digimon were practicing for a rebellion...

Yagami Hikari rolled out of her bed and cursed as the alarm clock rang in her ears. *Here we go again..*

"Hikari! Breakfast is ready!" Her housekeeper called from the kitchen. Pretending not to hear her, she buried her head under her pillow.

"Hikari! Are you sick?"

"Iie." She muttered.

"Alright, breakfast is ready!"

*Great! Late for work again.* She thought.

~~~
"Ne! Ishida-kun! Busy tonight?" Tachikawa Mimi smirked.

Yamato ignored her. The ladies in the Odaiba Plaza were especially annoying at break. He continued walking until he bumped into a girl.

"Ah, gomen!" She apologized.

"Uh, it's ok."

She srtaightened up and pushed strands of brown hair away from her face. Her eyes were a beautiful reddish brown, but blank. Yamato stared blankly at her. The girl didn't seem to mind his rudeness.

"Well, see you around?"

"Yea..." Yamato answered indistinctly.

"Um, Yama?" It was Mimi.

"Who's she?" he asked.

"Oh." She answered, looking at her fingernails. "Yagami Hikari, works here. Around 22, just popped up in Tokyo a few years ago. So, tonight ok?"

"Huh!? No way!" He hurriedly walked off leaving her hanging.

"B-but..."

* * *

"Move it you stupid and lazy idiots!" Taichi Kamiya's irritated voice said. The workers all moved aside for the car.

"Chibawormmon!!!! Watch out!!!" A Digimon cried.

A young Digimon widened his eyes inn horror as the car rolled near. With a sickening crunch, the Digimon was killed.

"Chibawormmon!!!"

The car wheeled to a stop. Digimon gathered to watch.

"You bastard!! You killed him!" There were murmuring of Digimon all around.

"Here, give the mon this." Taichi handed his servant some golden Digidollars. The mon who lamented the Chibawormmon spat.

"Kamiya!! You killed my only son!!"

"The money will help you get over your son." Kamiya carelessly murmured.

"Money will not bring back my son." The mon turned around and left the gate, muttering, "Damn you, Kamiya." under his breath.

* * *

Hikari "Yagami" Kamiya walked into her house in the Digital World. It was a big mansion that belonged to her family for about a thousand years. She detested the house in every manner. It only remided her of the suffering it had caused Digimon over the years.

Her brother, Marquis Taichi Yagami was propped on some cushions and drinking wine. He quickly got up as Hikari walked into teh room.

"Greeting, imooto-chan."

"I heard about the little accident today." Hikari said coldly without greeting.

"C'mon, it'd just Digimon. They're just computer data."

"You mean they're just entertainment for you. Their slavery amuses you." Hikari's eyes darkened.

"Whatever. It's time for dinner. Sit down and we can discuss the role od Digimon and their masters." Taichi offered.

Hikari growled. "I'm in no mood to discuss politics with a idiotic fool with no morals!' she thundered.

"What exactly do you mean?" Her brother carelessly cleared off teh table.

"Our mother always said to respect all creatures. Whether they be Digimon or humans."

"Digimon are not as elite as us!" He whined.

"That is not important! You have been mistreating Digimon ever since you could walk! Don't you think you will someday pay?" Hikari thundered.

"Leave me alone! I am the Marquis of this and I will NOT alow you to say such things about me!" He roared.

"Filthy, rat-bastard-chicken-shit!" She yelled.

"Son of a bitch!" Hikari ran to her room, leaving her drunken brother alone.

That night...

Swordmon, father of Chibawormmon crept out of Kamiya's bagage car. He climbed teh high walls of the mansion and into the bedroom of Taichi Kamiya. He took a dagger from his ragged shirt and pushed it into Kamiya's chest.

"You will pay for my son..."

A moment later, Taichi Kamiya had breathed his last.
