Disclaimer: Ha! I own Digimon, it's right here in my pocket! ^pulls out license^ See?!

Lawyers: ^bwuha^
IMPORTANT!!! Just so I don't get any reviews asking me what the hell is going on, I explain right now. In this fanfiction, none of the seasons of Digimon have occurred, no one has even encountered a Digimon, nothing!
Italics are translations, from Japanese to English because I felt like it. This is talking, and this is thinking'. Enjoy minna-san!
On Add's request, I have edited this chapter so it makes a little more sense. I hope it's a little better. ^_^

[Prologue]
{Hikari's sensei and father}
[Father] No!
[Sensei] I'm sorry. It's true.
I don't understand!
I'm sorry...
~~~
{Hikari and her father}
[Hikari] Are you angry?
[Father] Yes! Why wouldn't I be angry?
I'm sorry Father...
I'm ashamed Hikari.
I know. Please accept my apology Father, I don't want you to be angry with me.
~~~
{Hikari and her demons}
[Demons] Hikari, what would you like?
[Hikari]
What would you like?
I don't understand...
Strength? Love? Friends? Taichi?
Stop it! Why are you doing this?!
~~~
{Hikari's Parents}
[Father] We have to escape all, there is too much shame here. Too much sadness.
[Mother] Taichi... That was enough, but Hikari...
What's wrong with her? I don't understand it.
We have to go...
~~~
{Hikari and her parents}
[Hikari] The USA? Why? When? I don't want to go!
[Father] You don't have a choice. We are going because of my job.
But, Father! I can change! I promise!
Don't beg Hikari. It's too late.
~~~
{Hikari and a friend (Reiko)}
[Reiko] How's the packing going, Hikari? Are you almost ready to go?
[Hikari] Empty... It's all empty...
Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry! Is everything okay?
Yes... Everything's fine, thank you.
~~~
{Random women (mothers)}
Hikari's such a nice girl.
Very pretty too.
Have you noticed that she's changed? She doesn't seem to be the kind, compassionate girl she used to be.
Could it be because of Taichi?
It could be. Reiko said it seemed like something more than that though, like something was eating her up from the inside.
Did you see her grades at school?
No. Did she show them to you?
Keiko told me about them.
Keiko's such a nice girl.
~~~
{Hikari, her family, and some random US customs person}
[Customs random] Can I see your papers please?
[Father] Here they are, sir.
[Hikari] Mom? Mom!
[Mother] Not now please, Hikari.
But, Mom-
[Customs random] You can apply for your permit here-
[Hikari] I feel faint... Everything's spinning...
~~~
{Hikari and her new class}
[Teacher] Class, I'd like you to meet your new classmate, Hikari Yagami.
[Hikari] H-hello, pleased to meet you.
[whispers]
She's so short!
And waaay too skinny!
What's with her clothes?
[Teacher] I'm sure we'll all make Hikari feel very welcome...
~~~
{Hikari and her demons}
[Demon] Did you hear what they said? They're right, you know. You're selfish, weak, stupid. Do you even know what they were saying anyways?
[Hikari] The teacher said they would make me feel welcome.
She might, but does she speak for your classmates?
Of course...
~~~
{Hikari and her mother}
[Hikari] Mom! Please don't make me go back there!
[Mother] Why, Hikari?
I don't know what's wrong with me! I can't understand what they're saying! My english teacher asked me why I wasn't in ESL, and-
Calm down Hikari. I'll talk to your father, okay?
~~~
{Hikari and her demons}
[Hikari] Mom understood! I know she did!
[Demons] How do you know? I don't think she believed you. I think she thought you were better than that.
Stop it! Stop speaking English! I know you were being mean!
Are you sure?
~~~
[Hikari's mother and father]
[Mother] She's says she doesn't understand what they're saying at school. Something about a ESL program.
[Father] Hikari doesn't need to be in some program! She's perfectly capable of understanding English, she just needs to concentrate harder!
I don't know, Nori. The only English she learned in Japan was in junior high school, and I don't think that was much help. Besides, I think something's bothering. Whatever it is, I think it's partly responsible for her grades.
Nonsense! She's just not trying hard enough! If something was bothering her, she'd tell us! She needs to get on with her life and get over Taichi.
~~~
{Hikari's dream}
[Taichi] Hey Hikari! Watch this!
[Hikari] Wow! That's so cool onii-san! This is such a great birthday!!! ...onii-san? Taichi! What's wrong?!
I'm... I'm fine, Hikari, just... Go get Mom, okay?
{Change in dream scene}
[Taichi]Hikari... You've got to promise me one thing, okay?
[Hikari] Anything Taichi! Oh...god...
Hikari, don't cry, please. I just want you to promise me that you won't let them get to you.
I don't understand! Onii-san, why aren't you making sense?
Hikari, just listen. Even though I won't be there, you just can't let them...
Taichi! Taichi! Answer me! Please...
~~~
{Hikari and her mother}
[Hikari] Taichi! No!
[Mother] Hikari, why are you crying? Is something wrong?
I'm okay Mom. It was just... Just a dream.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes, Mom.
~~~
{Hikari and her demons}
[Demons] It was your fault, Hikari.
[Hikari]
It was your fault that your brother died.
That's a lie! How dare you say things like that!
Come with us, Hikari. We value people who can lie like you.
