I don't own digimon

The street lights cast unearthly shadows on the sidewalk, as he kicked another rocks down the empty street. Silently cursing himself for not leaving before the storm started. Running a hand through his wet hair he sighed, only a few more blocks and he'd be home.

Turning the corner he noticed something, he blinked, strained to see what it was. Taking a few more steps he made a terrifying discovery, it was a girl!

Not wasting anymore time he started to run to her. A thousand questions ran through his head, "who was this girl? Where did she come from?" and most importantly "why the hell was she lying on the sidewalk?"

He knelt down next to her, gently gathering her in his arms. She stirred but didn't wake, her lips were a light shade of blue and he could feel how cold she was through his jacket. He had no other choice. He was going to have to take her home, not that he minded, she was beautiful. Even in the pale light he could see the delicate curves of her face, she looked like an angel. There was only one problem, what would his mother say? He would just have to cross that bridge when he came to it, the important thing now was getting this girl to safety. Turning he raced the few blocks home, the strange girl still safe in his arms.

14 year old Kari Kamiya sat on the sofa, cuddling with her boyfriend T.K. It was a Friday night and she had invited him over to watch a movie, not that they had even looked at the T.V. She smiled, she felt so safe in his arms, she never wanted this night to end. T.K kissed her head.

"what are you smiling about beautiful?"

"nothing really, I'm just happy" she replied moving closer and laying her head against his chest. She felt so content, nothing could wrong tonight, it was prefect.

The door opened suddenly and she turned around to see her brother Tai, standing in the doorway holding a girl. His face was red with anger as he stared at the teens on the couch.
"I don't have time to yell at you two now" he said sternly "but that doesn't mean I won't later!"
Kari looked shocked, what was going on? Who was the girl? Was she hurt? Was she ever alive! Before she could move T.K. began to speak

"what the hell is going on Tai?" He demanded pointed to the girl "what did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything T.K! I found her in the middle of the street!" Tai replied " I couldn't leave her there so I brought her here"
The girl stirred in his arms then opened her eyes. She blinked, where was she? She looked up, a pair of concerned brown eyes stared down at her.

" Are you okay?" Tai asked softly, gently laying on the sofa, "what your name?"

"I-I-I'm f-fine" she said quietly "j-just a l-little c-cold" It was strange, she didn't know him at all but some how she didn't feel afraid. She gave a weak smile and continued "M-my name is S-Sora"

The minute she opened her eyes, Tai was in awe. He never, in his 16 years of life seen anything so beautiful. Her eyes reminded him of the sun at dawn, intense orbs of scarlet light. His sisters voice snapped him from his trance

" It's very nice to meet you Sora" Kari said politely "I'm Kari and this is T.K" T.K gave a small wave and smiled. "Can we get you anything?"

Sora smiled at the couple, they looked so prefect together, like they were meant to be. "No, I'm fine. Thanks for everything but I think that I'd better be on my way." She tried to sit up, failed miserable, and fell helplessly back down. She felt so tired, so drained. She closed her eyes, tears making their way down she ivory cheeks. "I'm sorry"

Tai smiled and wiped away her tears. "There's no need to be sorry. You can stay here until you feel well enough. I think the first thing we'd better do it get you out of those wet clothes before you catch a cold. I think Kari might have something your size." Kari nodded and headed off to her bedroom.

"This is very kind of you" Sora whispered softly "but I shouldn't stay. I don't want to be a bother" Kari came back in carrying some pajama pants and a t-shirt, she smiled handing the clothes to Sora.
"You can change in the bathroom and don't worry you not a bother. I'm sure our parents will understand, there's an extra bed in my room you can sleep there." Kari didn't understand it, but she felt a connection with Sora, even if she'd only known her all of 5 minutes. Kari had always been a good judge of character, and she had a good feeling about Sora.

The front door opened again, this time Mr and Mrs Kamiya stood in the doorway. A look of
confusion crossing their faces as they noticed the new girl laying on their couch.

"What's going on Tai?" Holly Kamiya asked, her lips turned in a tight frown.

"Mother before you get mad, I can explain everything" Tai answered quickly, and told his parents everything, how he'd found Sora laying on the street and brought her home.
