My hands were sweaty as I turned the knob and stepped into my house.
I kicked off my shoes and laid my book bag on the floor. There didn't seem
to be anyone here yet.
"You're late," five voices shouted from my room. I stomped up the stairs and saw Ashley, Leona, Aika, Negami, and my sister, Rai relaxing on my bed.
"What's she doing here?" I asked them.
"I live here you dork!" Rai shot back, throwing a pillow in my face.
"We actually had a very interesting conversation while you were gone." Negami chimed in. "It seems your sister had the same dream."
"So other people could have had it too, right?" I asked, sitting down next to Aika.
"Not necisarrily." Aika threw her hand around my neck with a flirtatious smile on her face. "I asked a couple of people on the way here. They thought I was a wierdo but they said they didn't have the dream or they haden't slept in a month and some other stuff."
I looked at her like she WAS a wierdo. " Do you not realize how many people there are who could've had that dream?"
"Let's not focus on that now," Rai said as she distractedly began to braid her long brown hair. "Right now we need to think about what it means. It's kinda strange that we all dreamt about the same thing, dontcha thin-?"
She didn't get to finish her sentence as my computer began to make whirring noises and suddnely exploded in white light. Covering my eyes, with Aika hanging onto my neck, strangling me, I inched forward toward it.
"All of the Digi-Destined, gathered in one place? My luck is turning around!" the voice, cold as ice and loud as a bomb dropping, like in my dream, hit us like a hurricane, causing us all to clamp our hands to our ears. "My revnge will be sooner then I imagined! Hahahahaha!"
A chill ran up my spine as a hand, freezing cold, took hold of my arm and steadily dragged me to the computer.
"YUKI!" I heard Ashley and Aika cry. There voices were but a distant beacon trying to pull me back, I was somwhere now.
"MOVE!!!!!!!!" Rai shouted. She quickly pulled somthing from her pocket and pointed it to the screen. "Stay, back!!! Stay back or I'll destroy you!!!"
Slowly, I felt the claws retract and let go of my arm.
"Yuki!" Aika's face hovered over my own as I blacked out...
I don't know how long I lay in my bed where the others put me. My mind was blank, untouched by their voices as they tried to rouse me. After what felt like hours, my eyes slowly fluttered open to meet Aika's worried face, her eyes red from crying. "Aika?" I managed weakly, instantly regretting it as pain shot up my body.
"Hey, guys, he's awake." she called over her shoulder. Four more faces joined hers immediately.
"How are you feeling?" Negami asked, smiling warmly.
"Like hell." I choked.
"It's a miracle you're not dead." Rai hissed. "If I haden't saved you..."
"What was that thing?" I felt strength in my muscles again and found that it didn't hurt to speak anymore. "How did you drive it away?"
"It was a "digimon" or somthing," Leona, who had been silent throughout the entire thing, explained. "Rai explained everything."
I looked to my sister, a look of confusion in my eyes. "You knew what the dream meant, didn't you?" She nodded. "What's going on? Why did that "digi-whatever" try to kill us!?"
She sighed and sat down on my bed. "I guess since you're all Digi- Destined, you deserve to know..."
"We're all what!?"
She pulled somthing from her pocket, the little device she had used before. "This is a Digivice, the mark of a Digi-Destined. A D-Destined is one who is chosen to protect the Digital World when evil threatens it. Every ten years, new reincarnations of the original kids are born. Us five are those reborn to protect the next world."
This new information hit me like a brick in the face. Digi-Destined? Digital World? It was all too confusing! "Next world...you mean like that place in the dream?" Rai nodded again.
"You slept for a LONG time, so she kinda gave us a demonstration to prove to us what we are." Ashley solemnly said. "Wanna see?"
I thought for a moment, then answered, "Show me..."
"You're late," five voices shouted from my room. I stomped up the stairs and saw Ashley, Leona, Aika, Negami, and my sister, Rai relaxing on my bed.
