Rinoa: In request that I put a Mimato into my story, my response is... Why the heck not. I wasn't planning on putting one in, but it won't hurt anything. I even favored it at one point in time, not that I don't now. I still don't see how he ended up with Sora. I can honestly say that I had no hints other than when she made him cookies. I mean I have made tons of cookies for guys, and I don't plan on marrying any of them! And another thing-

Yutaka: She's probably going to go on like this for a while. So let's recap, shall we? Nozomi has somehow entered the real world and has kidnapped Daisuke, Ken, Cody, and the pretty much dead Takeru. And sadly, that's pretty much as far as she got in these two chapters.

Rinoa: And what's with Hikari and Takeru not ending up together? I mean I don't particularly like her but they were to most obviously hinted at couple!

Yutaka: Kay...

Rinoa: And have you noticed how big everyone's feet are! I mean they're huge! And why does Biyomon look like a midget, pink Chocobo?

Yutaka: Will you shut up already! No one cares!

Rinoa: Sorry. I'm also sorry for not posting soon enough. I'm having A LOT of trouble writing Hikari and the other's side of the story. I'm basically writing about Takeru and the other boys, but the others are necessary... dang it.

Red Moon: Vampires and Werewolves

In a small hospital bed, unconscious underneath a warm white blanket was Miyako. She had an assortment of medical machinery that was hooked up to her as she slept silently. Her glasses were set aside on the table to her side, and she looked deathly pale in her halo of dark blue hair- looking more like a porcelain doll, than a living human does. Sitting to the right of the bed was Hikari, who was holding Miyako's hand gently. She sat there quietly, looking at her injured friend. She was speaking to her softly, like she would wake her up if she spoke too loudly. Though, that is one of the things she wished desperately at the moment.

"Well Miyako, my brother and the others are looking all over for the boys... I'm sure we'll find them soon, so don't worry. Who knows? Maybe I can talk Takeru on going on a double date with you and Ken. " Hikari couldn't stop the solitary tear that fell down her cheek, and for her voice to become shaky. "Soon, we'll all be together again, just like the old times..."

She was about to say more, but she was interrupted by her cell-phone. She pulled her hand out of Miyako's limp hand, and wiped her cheek. After about four rings of her trying to compose herself, she reached into her pocket to answer her phone.

"Hello," she said as calm as she possible could at the moment.

"Hey, sis," Taichi started with his voice sounding oddly serious and down cast for his usual personality. "Listen, we've been asking everyone around town if they had seen any traces of that Nozomi you fought, and everyone who witnessed... something said they saw her head into the parking garage next to the mall- no one saw anything after that. Yamato and I checked it out and found... something that didn't put anyone in high hopes. But, we have some good news."

"What is it?" She asked, hopefully.

"We found Patamon in the pack of a truck...

"And Takeru," she asked anxiously."

"... Just Patamon," he started again. "Listen, Yamato's dad pulled some strings to get a hold of surveillance tapes from the guy who owns that garage. We're about to watch them to find out what happened, and we were wondering if you wanted to be here for it?"

"Yeah, of course I do," Hikari said with little enthusiasm.

"Ok, we're at Koushiro's apartment. We'll wait for you."

"Ok, be over in a sec., bye"

"Bye," Taichi said before handing up, Hikari did the same also. After returning her phone into her pocket she turned to Miyako and placed her hand over hers. "Be back in a bit, bye." She then left the hospital to watch the tapes with the others.

Red Moon

Hikari stood before the closed apartment door for a good five minutes. She was scared. Did she really want to know what was on those tapes? Part of her did, but the other half wasn't so sure.

"Why me," she thought. "First she put Miyako in the hospital; then she kidnapped Ken, Daisuke, and Iori, and who knows what happened to Takeru... Takeru, I wish you were here. I feel so alone right now..." After taking a deep breath she finally raised enough courage to knock on the wooden door that led to Koushiro's home. She didn't have to wait long until the door began to open, revealing a tired Koushiro.

"Hey, Hikari. Come on in." He ushered her inside the small apartment and after she changed into some house shoes they made their way into the living room.

Koushiro went and sat down next to Jyou on the ground, around the coffee table. Her brother was sitting quietly on the couch with Sora sitting in the middle, next to him. To her right were the grave Yamato and an uncharacteristically somber Mimi. Mimi was sitting on Yamato's lap; her head buried in the cook of his neck and an arm across his chest. She had her eyes closed as she was breathing slightly- it almost looked like she was asleep. Yamato had his arms wrapped around her small frame. His head was resting on hers. He looked as if he was comforting her, but Hikari knew it was the other way around. You could tell by the way that he was clenching her tight white shirt that he was uneasy.

Sprawled out on the floor were all of the younger chosen's digimon. All seemed to be extremely depressed and exhausted. To tell the truth, she couldn't blame them, especially Patamon. They found him in the back of a truck. Hikari wondered how he got there, and where was Takeru? She was saddened by the dark gloom that was enveloping the usual happy atmosphere of the digidestands. She also did not like where any of this was heading...

"Hikari!" Came the sudden shout of Gatomon. She was lying with the other digimon and was looking as pathetic as they did, until she spotted Hikari. "We've been waiting for you." She then made a dash toward her partner and hopped into her arms.

Hikari smiled at her partner, but her gaze soon went to Patamon, who seemed to have separated himself from the others. "What has he said?"

Gatomon followed Hikari's eyes and looked at the ground. "Nothing, Taichi said that when they found him he wouldn't stop talking about Nozomi and how she... fought. He then said that he was hit and that he doesn't remember what happened next. But, when Yamato told him that Takeru was missing he pretty much shut down..."

"Poor Patamon, he must be taking this hard."

"Well," Koushiro started, "now that we're all here let's see if we can find something on these tapes, shall we?" He grabbed the remote that was lying on the coffee table and hit play. Hikari took a seat around the coffee table with Jyou and Koushiro.

The screen showed a quick shot of static before revealing an empty parking garage in black and white. They all watched a moment until Koushiro pressed the fast forward button. The same scene flashed before them as a static line fell horizontally downward and a car that ever so often drove past the screen. Then they saw who they now knew as Nozomi, carrying the three missing boys, walking towards the wall.

"Stop!" Yamato yelled, almost making Mimi fall off from the sudden outburst.

Koushiro quickly hit the pause button and then pressing play to make it go the normal speed. They watched as she threw the boys to the side and summoned a portal of some kind. The whole room tensed as they watched her throw Ken through the swirling mass. Just as she was about to grab another they saw Takeru and Angemon come into view. Yamato sat up when his younger brother came into site, forcing Mimi to shift so she wouldn't be uncomfortable.

They watched as Angemon fought with Nozomi and how powerful she was compared to him. Hikari looked over at Patamon, who, seemingly was trying to sink into the floor. She turned back and watched as Angemon was thrown out of the view of the screen. They then watched as Nozomi began to approach Takeru. Since this was the part where Patamon had blacked out, Patamon was now watching intensively, slightly making his way toward the screen.

"Please run. Please tell me that he ran away. Please, please, please," were Yamato's silent prayers.

"Takeru..." Hikari said as she covered her mouth, watching as Nozomi pressed up against the child of Hope and started whispering into his ears.

"What is the PERVERT doing with MY brother!" Yamato yelled at the image of Nozomi. He then grew even more angry as she put her face into his neck.

They shockingly watched as Takeru's limp body fell to the floor and as Nozomi went to the other boys and threw them into the portal and then deciding to take Takeru. When all was clear and it was certain that no more was to be seen Koushiro pressed the stop button.

"Well," he started, not knowing exactly what to say. "What do you think we're dealing with?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Taichi said. Everyone turned to him, a little surprised. But at this point they would take any kind of insight. "She's a vampire." He said simply.

Everyone sighed and slapped their head in unison as Koushiro took it upon himself to bring down that theory.

"Taichi, we're are trying to go after a plausible explanation, not myths."

"You know after all we've seen. You'd think that we would believe anything."

"I only believe what I see. If you think that Nozomi's a vampire I would need hard evidence to believe it myself."

"Well how else do you explain it. She was not a digimon; she was able to, no offence, kick our butts; put Miyako in intensive care, and kidnap Ken, Iori, Daisuke, and either... killed, or kidnap Takeru too. What do you think she is Koushiro?"

"... I don't know. I don't have enough thorough evidence to come up with an plausible solution."

"Guys," Sora said, quietly. "Maybe... we should as Gennai if he knows something."

"Gennai?" Mimi asked.

"Well, he seems to know a lot about different worlds, and if Nozomi came from another world maybe he could help us get there to save Takeru."

"Sounds good to me," Jyou said.

"I like it better than the vampire theory," Koushiro admitted, against Taichi's unhappy reaction.

"Alright, all those in favor of visiting Gennai say I, "Taichi said, standing up and raising his right hand."

"I," everyone said in unison.

Red Moon

Takeru slowly opened his eyes. When he realized that he was in an unfamiliar room he sat up quickly to take a look around. He was still in his normal clothes and was on top of a large bed. It had silk cream color sheets and many red pillows covering the top. The wooden walls were painted in a deep red. A few dark paintings decorated the walls.

A fireplace was made in front of the bed. This was where the only light was coming from, dimly illuminating the dark room. He grabbed a candle from the nightstand that was set beside the bed. He then attempted to hop off the bed, but was met by a quick wave of dizziness. After he was up he bent over and held on to the bedpost for support. He just now realized how weak he felt. His whole body felt like it had been through a train wreck.

After he allowed time for his dizziness to ware off he decided to continue. He walked to the hearth and lit the candle. He then walked to the large window that was covered in thick drapes. Before he lifted them he took a quick peek into what was an ordinary wash room that was built into the room. The only difference was that there wasn't a mirror anywhere in the room. He then pulled back the curtains to reveal the night sky. He was also facing a large drop off into the ocean. Where ever he was it was built on a cliff.

After deciding to find a way out of where ever he was and find the others he went to the door and turned the old fashion door handle. He was surprised to find that it wasn't locked. He quietly left the room and closed the door behind him. The long, dark hallway was as empty as the previous room. Torches lined the hallway and nothing else. At least it was better lit then the room he found himself in. He carefully advanced, checking every room that he passed- all being bedrooms. He was about to give up all hope about finding a way out of this never ending labyrinth, until he heard footsteps farther ahead. He quickly hid behind a nearby corner and watched.

He saw three young woman walking his way. The one who looked around twenty-five was tall and had long brown hair to her waist. She had green eyes and an long face. The one that looked around Takeru's age had straight red hair to her shoulders and also had green eyes. The one that looked around twelve also had long hair that was red. She too had green eyes. They walked and laughed until the oldest stopped and put a hand in front of the other women. She then, what looked like, sniffed the air and looked in Takeru's direction.

"Well, sisters. It looks like we have a guest." The eldest said.

"Oh, good. Master must have brought us a present." The youngest said with a cruel smile.

"Well, I'm hungry- so let's not play with our food tonight and just eat," she stopped for a moment and sniffed the air, "him."

"Why? Playing is the funniest part about feeding." The youngest said.

"Well... I guess we can play a little."

After listening to this conversation Takeru decided it would be best if he got away from these people as fast as he could. He began to walk down the corridor he was hiding in. He then dared to glance behind him; he was relived to find that no one was following. He turned back and was shocked to find the three women right in front of him. Takeru fell to the ground in shock.

"Look Mai," The eldest said to the middle child. "I think we scared him."

"He's cute. I want to go in first." The youngest said.

"Patience sister," Mai said. "Weren't you the one who asked to play first?"

At the moment Takeru didn't know what to think. The fact that he was still feeling a little light headed and that he had know clue where he was didn't matter now. He knew that his life was in danger, and that these girls were not as they seemed. He felt extremely helpless under their gaze. Like bait on a hook, completely vulnerable. He watched as the middle sister, known as Mai, approach him. She grabbed him around the collar of his shirt and lifted him, easily. She pushed him against the wall, ignoring the small gasp of surprise from Takeru.

'What's happening? Why can't I fight back? This feels familiar, but I can't quite place it...'

Takeru was completely at the sister's will. When Mia tilted his head to get a clear view of his neck, he didn't even try to defy her. He was motionless as she scanned the surface area of his neck. She stopped suddenly and pressed her cold fingers against his neck. He wasn't aware of it at the time but his neck was hurting slightly. He must have strained it while sleeping.

"Hmm, it looks like Master had already had a taste."

'Taste?'

"Really?" The older sister asked. "That's odd. I don't think she had ever fed off a present to us before. She must have been hungry."

"Must have."

Mai then lifted her small hand, and with her sharp nails she cut a line across his collarbone. Her sisters took their places around Takeru, either playing with his hair or massaging his shoulders. Takeru felt his limp body tense as he felt Mai lick across his skin with her tongue. Takeru was about to lose himself. He could already feel his mind drifting. He was suddenly shot back into reality when he felt the weight of the three women jumped away from him, holding their heads in what seemed was pain. Confusion wrapped his brain has they began not to talk to each other, but to themselves.

"What? But Why?" The youngest sister asked. "No, Master! I'm sorry for questioning you, forgive me."

"As you wish, Master," responded the Mai. Soon they were all back into their upright positions with their grim smiles gracing their pale faces. Mai turned to Takeru and gave a polite bow. "I am terrible sorry, Master Takeru. Me and my sisters did not understand your presence. Please forgive us. Let me also introduce ourselves." She gestured to her older sister to her right. "This is the... well I suppose she would be the oldest. Her name is Etsu."

"Charmed," Etsu said, smiling.

"My younger sister, Keiko, and my name is Mai." Chuckling quietly to herself, Mai made the observation from Takeru's blank stare and what one would call a "calm" facade, she figured that he had no clue about what situation he was in. "Do you know where you are Takeru?" She gave him a second to shake his head with a slow "no" before continuing. "You are in Nozomi's castle. It has been the home of many True Vampires-"

"Vampires!" Takeru shouted.

"Yes, vampires." Mai continued. "Also, of her werewolf legion reside in these very walls." She waited to see if Takeru would react, but when he didn't she decided to turn the subject. "Are you hungry?"

"What?"

"You haven't eaten in a while. You must be famished."

"I... guess."

"Follow me then."

The three sisters led Takeru into a large dining hall. The room was ill lit, but the wooden walls could be made out. They looked as if they once had large mirrors lining the side, but were removed. The floor was white marble and Takeru could hear his footsteps echoing throughout the room. Although, the sisters footsteps were barely audible.

In the center of the room was an old table with floral decorations carved into the sides. A Tattered red cloth ran down the table that ended with tassels on each end. Three lit candleholders were placed down the table, providing the rooms light. The chairs lining the table were large and of the same fashion of the table. At the very edge of the table was a silver plate with roasted duck, mashed potatoes, and a roll placed neatly on it. Silver and a cloth napkin was placed to the side, along with a wineglass filled with water.

Keiko took his arm and led him to the chair. Etsu pulled out the chair for him and waited for him to be seated before pushing him toward the table. All the sisters gathered behind him and waited. Takeru just stared blankly at the plate laid out before him. Shortly later Etsu wrapped her delicate arms around him and snapped her fingers in front of his face. When all he did was blink a few times she turned to her sisters and smiled.

"I think we put him into shock."

"How pathetic," Keiko said flatly, folding her arms across her chest.

"Well think about it." Mai said. "He was obviously drained of quite a bit of blood before we got a hold of him. And if I'm correct vampires are only myth in his world. I believe this would be a shock to anyone who found themselves in a caste full of vampires and werewolves."

"I suppose, but I was hoping that he would, shall I say it? Liven up the place." Keiko placed her hand over her mouth and began to laugh, quietly.

"You are completely childish, Keiko." Mai said, squinting her eyes at her younger sister.

Etsu straightened up and turned to her sisters. "Well, he'll have to snap out of it eventually. Just give him some time."

"Master will want to see him soon."

"I know, Mai, but I'm sure she can find some way of bringing him... into the light." At that moment both Etsu and Keiko both broke into a hideous laughter. Mai just brought her hand to her temple and sighed.

"I should have let them die..."

Red Moon

In a small stone cell in Nozomi's castle slept Iori, Daisuke, and Ken. All were placed on hay beds that were placed on the cold ground. All that was placed in the room was a pale of water and three pieces of bread. Past the bars of the doors showed a stone wall with a lit torch, giving off light. Daisuke was the first to stir. He slowly pushed himself up to get a look at his odd surroundings.

"What the heck happened?" Daisuke grabbed his head and looked at Ken and Iori that was beside him. "Nozomi." He reached over and shook the two other boys awake. First Ken than Iori. At first they all looked around gathering everything that had just happened, and where they where. It wasn't long before Iori spoke up.

"Um, does anyone know exactly where we are?"

"In a cell," Daisuke answered.

"Well that's stating the obvious." Ken shot.

"Well how am I supposed to know where we are! All I know is that Nozomi has something to do with this."

"Do you think we'll see her soon?" Iori asked.

"Probably," Ken answered. "I highly doubt that she brought us here to let us rot in a cell."

As soon as Ken stopped speaking, footsteps were heard coming in their direction. They all huddled together and looked at the bars, waiting for whatever was to come. Their hearts could be heard pounding in their chests, and sweat was forming on their faces. The fears were released when a young girl approached the bars, carrying a bowl.

The girl couldn't have been as old as Iori. Her face was round with a slight tan and a clear complexion. Her eyes were large and the same blue as her long hair that was tied in a brown clothe at her neck. Her dress was simple. It was a light brown fabric that fell to her knees. At her chest were three buttons that led to two unbutton ones at the top that folded over into a v-neck.

"Hello," she said in a quiet, high-pitched voice. "My name is Cho."

"Where are we? What are we doing here?" Asked Ken.

"You are in Nozomi's castle's dungeon, and I am afraid I don't know why your here. I'm not told that many things, and I don't ask. I have a feeling for the reason you are here, but, I could be wrong."

"Why do you think we're here?" Asked Iori.

Cho turned away from the boys and began to speak. "We are growing small in numbers. Many are dying because they are weak not only in their human form but in their wolf form also."

"What?" Asked Daisuke, truly confused.

"If you are here for the reason I believe you are than you will find out soon enough." She reached into the bowl that she was carrying and pulled out an apple. She threw it at Iori who caught it. She did the same for the other two. "For some extra strength."

"Thank you," said Iori, always being his most polite even in the worst situations.

"And if I am right, may God be with you." With that she began to quickly walk to which she came.

"Wait!" Iori called but to no avail.

"What was that all about?" Ken asked, biting into his apple. They were all left alone for the rest of the night.

Author's Notes:

Yes, I know, this chapter sucked. I promise! It will get better. I just had a lot of difficulty with this. Now that I have most of the new characters introduce, everything will go smother... hopefully. I left at bad parts, and I was going to make Takeru's part longer, but I decided to wait until next chapter. If you want I'll put down all the relationships down here:
