Welkin

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or its characters. The story is mine, though, but I got some inspiration by some of the Mimato fanfic writers here.

Author's Note: I don't know if the story will be connecting to the story title (Welkin is Old English for 'sky'), but it seemed like a good title. I didn't know what title I wanted to make for this fic, but I had to think of one. ^^' Anyways, if you're wondering if I've written any other Mimato fics, I have, but I haven't published them on fanfiction.net because they're incomplete (two, to be exact). I'll write something if I ever finish them, but most of them are just hanging right now.

Chapter 01

IT was a crisp November morn, just a few days after the holiday. Busy people lined the streets going to shopping areas to buy some things for the winter holidays. Students were crowding the halls of an academy as they tried to get to their classes. A demure, chestnut-haired girl was looking around helplessly as she tried to find her way to her class, but the throng of students kept her from proceeding to her destination. She waited quietly as she leaned on the locked door of the janitor's room and awaited the ring of the school bell signalling the remaining students trailing the hall that they were late. She heaved out a sigh and walked unobtrusively through the now-empty halls and made her way to room 11A. The professor was reading in a somewhat-monotone voice as the girl walked up to her and handed her the small yellow note. She shut her book loudly and called the class' attention.

"Class, this is Tachikawa Mimi," she announced as she read off of the paper, "she is a transfer student from the United States of America and will be joining us for the remainder of the school year." the professor looked up from the paper and looked at the class. Some of the male students gaped at the 'newcomer' and were hoping that she'd come to sit with them. The professor gestured to one of the seats. "Please take a seat in the far right corner."

Tachikawa nodded and quietly took a seat. She took out the text book that everyone was reading from as the professor continued on with the lesson. She let out a discreet sigh and looked over to the neighboring 12th grade class. In the corner seat, a blonde-haired boy was quickly jotting down notes; he looked up and saw her looking at him. His deep blue eyes caught hers' and they stared at each other for a brief moment. She let out a weak smile --

"Tachikawa, is something the matter?" the professor asked, her peers staring at her. Tachikawa shook her head and looked back down into her book. As the teacher resumed her reading, she glanced back at the boy and noticed that he returned to his writing.

Footnote: Short, ne? Well, that was just a prologue/introduction. There will be more chapters, so if some good R+Rs come along the way, I'll have the encouragement to write more!

Ehh, I didn't notice that I had so many mistakes in this chapter (and it's so short)! I got them fixed up now. :)
