Safely tucked under the girl's arm, Demiveemon just watched the people pass by, looking at things he'd never seen before. No one had ever taken him anywhere like this- he was curious, looking all around him. This part of town he noticed, was very different from any other spot in town he'd seen so far. It was much more crowded, and not as fancy. The apartments were small, and not as clean looking. He also noticed, the tiger cat was still following them, looking at him evilly as if to say "She's feeds ME only" Demiveemon wriggled his nose a bit, smelling a delicious scent of the restaurant they just passed. The girl looked at him, her whole face took pity.

"I wish I could get you something to eat." she paused, reaching into her pocket. She came up with nothing but a piece of paper. "Im sorry." she said. "-Maybe I have something at home!" she smiled a bit, making him feel warm inside.

"That's okay if you don't" he piped up without thinking. She stopped cold, stairing at him.

"Oops." he quickly averted his gaze to the ground. She blinked rapidly a few times, as if un able to take in what had just happened.

"You just. SPOKE!" she said in disbelief, holding him up for a second. "How did you do that.?" The disgruntled tiger cat just stared with boredom.

"Well uh, I can kinda, sorta. talk? I guess?" he stumbled with his words, hoping they made some type of sense.

"That's amazing!" she smiled broadly, glomping him to her chest. His blue and white face immediately turned bright red. "Say something again!" she squealed enthusiastically. He grinned, blushing slightly. He had never gotten so much interest and attention before, by anyone. This pleased him very much. but he wasn't so sure why. "My name ish Demiveemon." He quipped, smiling. She grinned back, squeezing him again. "Im Umiko." She introduced herself back. "And that's. my kitty" The cat nodded, glad to be noticed, obviously.

"Hihi Mr.Keety!" Demiveemon called down to it, waving his little paw in its direction.The cat snubbed him totally. "Aww." he said, sadly. "What did I do?"

Umiko shook her head, grinning. "I think he's jealous of you!" she laughed. He blushed, again, wondering why he was getting to flustered. She's just a human girl. He told himself. Nothing special. he nodded to reassure himself.

It didn't take them much longer to reach the apartment Umiko was apparently staying in. They passed a few gruff looking old men. She made her way up a flight of stairs, cat trailing behind with his tail up. She reached the landing, fumbled in her pocket for the keys. She apparently found them, because he heard the pleasant ringing noise of keys, which he had often commented on to Davis. It was then he remembered- Davis! He had completely forgot about him! A little ashamed of himself, he almost forgot- what if Umiko's parents were home?!?! He ducked under her arm immediately, as the door swung open. There was silence, and the lights were off. He sat up slowly, looking around in caution. He looked up at her in question. "Where are your parents? At work?" he asked, immediately regretting the question. She looked down, hard at her feet, her reply barely audible. "I don't.know." She whispered.

His ears drooped. "Im sorry Umiko-chan." He said, tapping her cheek with one paw. She blinked back tears, looking at him. "Thank you" She sniffed, wiping her sleeve over her face. She then forced back her sorrow, as if it didn't matter- "Well, are you hungry or what? Ill see what I have." She flicked on the light, and set him down on the counter top. He looked around, wondering why it was so- empty. There were very few things in the apartment, the shades were pulled down, and the only furniture was a chair, table, and a rather lumpy looking bed.

She seemed to notice his question, and answered. "Not much I know, but, I do alright." She was standing on her toes; to reach the highest cabinet- the item she wanted was just out of reach. She pulled herself up onto the counter, knocking a box of cat food down in the process. The tiger cat ambled over to nibble at the escaping kibble. Demiveemon watched her stand up, wobbly, and reach up with a trembling arm, resting the other hand on a protruding shelf. She was then able to grab the box- but the shelf her hand had been resting on gave out, Demiveemon jumped forward at just the right moment-Keeping he head from smashing into the floor. She uttered a startled cry- but he caught her. Demiveemon let out a large puff of breath, "Phew. You okay?" She didn't speak for a moment, but blinked rapidly a few times. "I could have just smashed my head in." she said in disbelief. "-But. you saved me." Demiveemon felt his cheeks go hot. "W-well- I didn't want you to get hurt." He put a paw behind his head and laughed nervously. She smiled, a tear welling up in the corner of her eye. She quickly wiped it away, and leapt forward, giving him a tight squeeze. "Thank you." She bent down, and gave him a small kiss on the forehead. His eyes widened, and a deep crimson flush swept over his face. "N-no problem.." He stuttered, in shock. She smiled warmly, and stood up, dusting herself off. He sat there bewildered; she turned around to him, smiling. "How does soup sound?" She held out a bag of instant noodles. He nodded enthusiastically, licking his lips. She giggled, and went in search of a pot to cook it in. The tiger cat sulked in the corner for a while, then trotted to the window, pushed the shade aside, and sat, looking out. Umiko went about her business, humming to herself. Just then he caught himself stairing at her. He slapped himself mentally. What was this feeling? It was familiar, yet new at the same time. he glanced up at her again out of the corner of his eye. Then it struck him. Did he- did he like her? The question lingered on his mind, until she set a bowl of soup out for him at the little table. She helped him up onto the chair, and even gave him a pillow for extra boost. He grinned wildly, and waited for her to sit. She took a seat across from him, her chair squeaking loudly. She winced. "Its kinda broken." She saw his adoring look at the food. "Okay, let's eat!"

Demiveemon dove in, taking no prisoners. He was hungry. He slurped and gobbled the noodles greedily, savoring every bite. He then realized he must have looked like a real pig- and slowed, slurping up one seemingly endless noodle. She blinked, and smiled, her eyes full of laughter. He felt his face go beet red again.

"You're almost as bad as I am!" she laughed. "Right kitty?" The cat looked over, with a look as if to say "Yup."She then began to munch on the noodles with much gusto, slurping and gnawing as much as she pleased. He just blinked, in shock. He had never seen a human eat like that- not even Davis was that bad! She noticed his shocked expression and smiled like a happy cat. She then produced an empty bowl "allll gone!" she cried, grinning triumphantly. Demiveemon blinked, then a wide grin spread over his face. "You're good." He marveled.

"Want to learn my teqnique?" she joked, giggling. The cat seemed like he was rolling his eyes. children. He seemed to say. The girl and digimon began to fling noodles at eachother, giggling wildly. The other people in the building were at that time wondering why the once quiet apartment at the end of the hall was suddenly so noisy and happy sounding- it intrigued them-and they almost became jealous.



Umiko flicked a solitary noodle off of Demiveemon's ear; he promptly sneezed in response. She began to laugh, but it was soon forced into a long yawn of exhaustion. He yawned back, scratching the back of his ear sleepily, one eyelid drooping.

"Tired?" she asked with a yawn.

"Yuh." He replied sleepily. She smiled. "You are so cute." He blushed, and she reached behind his ear to scratch "the" spot again. He sighed dreamily. She moved to the other end of the room, switching her schoolgirl uniform to an oversized T-shirt with a picture of a fish on it. She then snuggled under the covers in her lumpy bed and sighed. He slowly made his way to her bedside and looked up at her. "C-can I come up?" She smiled. "Sure"

He scrambled up and dove under her fluffy white comforter, turning around a few times until he poked his head out. She moved a bit, to give him a spot to rest his head on her pillow. He did with gratitude, sighed in content, and closed his eyes. "G-night, Umi-chan" He said quietly to her, hoping she'd heard. She apparently had because a small smile formed on her lips, and she uttered ".So cute." He grinned inwardly to himself, wondering if he'd ever want to get up the next morning.
