oos; Finally! Chapter 2 is finished! Have fun. Not much angsty-ness here, but yeah. I felt that I couldn't crowd you with my silly emo-boy love.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, except my own characters. ♥ bis;

It was the moment before you awoke, but you weren't actually asleep. Bish could feel Dorumon's heavy breathing against his chest, soft fur (dry, as far as he could tell) rubbed against the boy's torso, where his sweater and shirt had been uplifted during the night. Grumbling, he finally reached a conscious state, but kept his eyes shut tight. The rain had stopped; he could hear nothing but the soft breeze that carried the after-rain smell around.

Bish sighed deeply, letting cool air pass through chapped lips. A little giggle erupted from… well, he couldn't really tell. However, it seemed… no, it couldn't be. Grey eyes cautiously peeked open. Large, blue eyes stared directly into his, a pale face shoved into his. Her lips were a soft pink, and they began moving as a chipper voice came rolling out. "A little boy and his oh-so-cute Dorumon! How soooo adorable!"

A human. There was actually a human bent low into his face, and it was freaky. Common sense streamed back into him. This was the Digital World. Frightened, Bish's eyes grew large and he backed up, hitting his head on the back of the cave. His hand felt around for his Bokken. The wooden sword slid into his hands and he felt a little safer. He swung it out and made sure not to hit the girl, just alarm her a little. "What do you want!" He asked, a little more than yelling.

"Ee! Don't get pushy with me!" She smirked and stood up straight, hand on her hip. Bish tried to hold back a smile. This girl was cute. She had long blonde hair that seemed perfectly straight. She had on thick rimmed, yet small, glasses that hung on her nose. She wore a ruffled plain white tee, partially tucked in. Long brown jeans draped over her legs, slightly covering blue sneakers. Dorumon had woken up, and was already heading over to an odd-looking digimon. It had purple legs, and a purple tail. It looked like a mini samurai. An odd-looking helmet covered its head, with only two yellow eyes showing.

"Kotemon." His digivice beeped. He forgot about that thing. It hooked onto a belt loop on his khakis. Bish looked at it, where an image of the digimon before him was floating. Cool. The warrior turned back to face the girl. Slowly, he began to stand up. He winced in pain. Oh yeah, he was still in the cave. Sighing, the boy crawled out and stood up, blinking in the new light. It wasn't exactly sunny outside, but sun warily peeked through the light grey clouds. Everything was soaking wet. "You're a DigiWarrior..," He looked at her bow hung around her back. "Glad to meet you."

The girl folded her arms and 'hmphed.' "Likewise," It seemed a little odd for her to say that, since she had come off so… cheerful. "Aaanyhow! My name is Kaida Ushibu, but you can just call me Kai. And yourself?" She whipped back a piece of hair with her hand, and smiled.

He stumbled, and finally found himself to speak. "Bishop Atami, but just call me Bish, please." He whined, making sure to smile, too.

Kai couldn't help but giggle madly. It was the same giggle Bish heard when he woke up. "Your name…" She paused for another fit of laughter, "is Bishop!"

"Humph." The boy folded his arms, and turned his head, slightly. "I'm aware of that, thank you." Kai looked at him for a second then nodded.

"Sorry," She seemed almost... sincere. "I couldn't help it." Bish shrugged and ran his hand through his hair, still slightly tired. He lifted up his goggles, pushing his hair back once again.

Bish squinted as he looked up. It must have been sometime in the morning, before noon. The sun was brilliant in the sky, drying the excess rainwater off the rocks and leaves. "We better leave," It proved a good plan, because Kaida nodded. Bish noticed, as they were walking, that the girl was just as ditzy as she looked. She was constantly tripping, making stupid comments, and generally being an annoyance to Bish. But, he had to admit, he liked the company. Dorumon and Kotemon usually kept in front of the two, having random conversations and taking every chance to eat.

Quite unexpectedly, there was a small rustle in the trees above them. This made Kai stop, but Bish didn't hear anything. "Bishiii wait. Did you hear that?" He shrugged, and looked up.

"No.. just keep walking. It was nothing." Frankly, he was getting a bit irritated by her… speaking. In general.

Kaida folded her arms and didn't follow the other Warrior. "I'm not moving until we find out what it is!" She said, reaching behind her back, slowly taking the wooden bow from the quiver, as well as one bow. Kai looked like an expert, sleek and quick as she pulled it back and launched it. It whizzed through the air, silent. It struck something; they guessed it was just the tree. A terrible roar erupted from the tree, Bish swore the ground started shaking.

She jumped, grabbing onto Bish, tightly squeezing his arm. Bish wished Itami were here… he would be brave and already attacking.. whatever it was. Quickly, a large body jumped from the treetops onto the ground. They could feel their hearts beating so fast, the pair could not move; they just stared in awe at the large thing. Its fur was long and yellow, with red marks. On its arm was a green wristband, with gold outlining. Jutting out from his wrists were what looked like feathers. On one of his fingers was a gold ring, glinting off the morning sun. The digimon altogether looked like a very strong ape. His ears were long and pointy, like an elf. "Dorumon…" Bishop whispered, his digimon nodded.

"Dorumon digivolve to!" Dorumon shouted, and was engulfed in a large, red light. Suddenly, his purple fur became dark navy, purple lightning stripes covered his body. His wings were larger, and also in the same pattern as his body. His ears became pointier, and his claws were sharp and red. He looked much more dangerous than before. The light left, and the new Digimon was left in Dorumon's place. "DoruGamon!" He said, in a deeper voice. Bish smirked happily. He liked this.

The warrior jumped onto DoruGamon's back, taking off his Bokken and readying it. His digivice beeped. "Apemon." It had a picture of the tall Digimon standing in front of them. "May look like King Kong, but he's more intelligent than that. Agility and strength, he's going to be tough to beat. Watch out for his quick Metallic Fur and Mega Bone Stick attacks." Piece of cake.

"WAIT!" A small, feminine voice called out. Swiftly, a small girl (just a little short, she looked about Bish's age) rushed out of the trees, getting a small scratch on her cheek from the thorns. "Please do not harm Apemon! She's my Digimon."

"She?" Kai and Bishop said in unison. When it attacked, they had thought it would be a he. "Your digimon?" The boy added, cocking his eyebrow.

"Yes, ok? Koemon just digivolved." She said, in a matter-of-fact tone.

"You mean.. that Koemon?" Kaida pointed to the monkey-thing that clung to her leg. The short girl looked up with a worried expression on her face.

She bit her lip, hesitating. "Crap." Bish sighed, wary of the delay. He would deal with learning about this girl in a second.

"Power Metal!" DoruGamon roared, angrily. He leaped up, letting his claws turn into metal and rocket off to the large ape. A new set grew back in. Kaida was currently hugging Kotemon, who was struggling to get away from her grasp. It was a funny sight, because the droopy sleeves flopped around.

The small girl didn't dare do anything, she had already complicated things enough. "Mmph! Let me digivolve!" Kotemon shouted, sighing. The metal nails struck Apemon in the chest, hard. It knocked him over, but he got back up and screamed. This blew Bish and DoruGa back. Hard. Their backs slammed against the ground, and made a sickening thud. Bish braced himself, getting ready to whap the beast in the head, as soon as a clear shot came in. DoruGamon jumped back up, ready to fire again. Before he could say anything, a large bone came flying through the air, knocking Bish off. He reached the ground first, and his digimon landing on top of him.

Things were looking hopeless. Their first battle, and their leader couldn't even do anything. "Great." The girl sighed.

oos; End of chapter two. Sorry for the cliffhanger. xD But, ye know, I gots to make it interesting. Besides, this chapter was almost four pages long. I couldn't bring myself to do it. oo;
