A/N: Okay First chapter, first story, a lot of firsts. Kouji and Tai are not together in this story and probably won't be.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has anything to do with Digimon.
CHAPTER 1
(Koji's POV)
The cold wind cut through me like a knife I wish this was just a dream…. That I didn't really wake up from my bed to be swallowed by what was known as the digital world, no not again.
"Hello?" I called out feebly. I usually liked the peace and quiet but I longed for another human voice, even Takuyas obnoxious voice would be of some comfort. Only the wind answered my cry howling like a lost soul, that is how I felt.
"Hey! Not my bandana!" The wind was so strong it had pulled my bandana off my head and it was a mad dash to get it back.
Finally I grabbed the bandana and fell to the ground what I saw in front of me was horrifying….I couldn't stop thinking to myself ….is this why I'm here?
(Tai's POV)
And to think my only problems used to be the battle with the can opener or getting up to go to the bathroom to many times in the night, now I was a caged rat. I knew how caged animals felt now. All the ugly fat people making faces to the cage making baby noises like there cute or something, boy soon I am going to grab someone's head and bash it against the cage bars.
"Aw cutesy wutesy human having fun?" a big fat ogremon stood in front of my cage practically sticking his head in, so I took the bait I ran from my huddle in the corner and grabbed his head and slammed it as hard as I could against the cage bars he fell unconscious to the floor. Don't look at me like that you knew he was asking for it. An unpleasant feeling ran through me and I soon dropped off to sleep.
(Koji's POV)
The scene before me was like my worst nightmare, all the digimon lay splayed across the field. There data, there lives flowing out of them, even though they would come back to life seeing them like this hurt, it hurt inside I who never showed emotions felt tears streaming down my face, the bitter salt as they landed in my mouth mixed with the endless sand in this desert of the digital world. There laid Bokomon and Neemon I couldn't believe it, I should've stayed, I should've tried to do something, I should've tried to save them but I couldn't. I couldn't stay, I admit it I'm a wuss. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to hurt… so I ran and didn't stop till the world became an endless sea of black.
(Tai's POV)
My head hurt but I wasn't about to let it show In a resilient way I grabbed the crude cup of water in my cell downed it all and started rubbed the cup back and forth against the cell bars while walking back and forth making an irritating noise that echoed through out the cells, the guards just looked at me anger building. Just to show them I was serious about annoying the hell out of them I started making a high pitched beeping sound with my voice at the same time. They were losing it I could see what else could I do to make them crack? Hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm those puddles will do nicely, so I started my crusade across the entrance of the cell clanging, beeping and splashing. The only thing I was worried about was if that was actually water or some other captives resort for the potty. But the beeping didn't seem to be enough so I started singing; I think their favorite was my rendition of Holiday by Green Day. I started off on another verse of Hit Me Baby One More Time by Brittany Spears but that did it, the guards lost it. The thin orgremon came lunging at me and put his arms through the bar and shoved I fell hard I must be imaging things but I wasn't alone a chorus had started out 5 grown men and 17 digimon were singing. I felt the drowsiness returning and looked at my arm to see a number embedded on it, it was glowing bright red; this was there form of a tranquilizer. But as I slumbered unconsciously I heard the group all night. Hit Me Baby One More Time…… the words of victory.
(Koji's POV)
I awoke my head felt like it had cracked open but that wasen't my biggest concern, there in front of me stood a huge cloaked figure, I couldn't see its face but I was positive it wasn't human… or was it? I didn't have much time to think about this…thing or how I got there because immediately I felt the hot metal sizzle and burn into my arm. I did all I could do… scream.
(Tai's POV)
I lazily observed myself to see if I had sustained any injuries when I noticed something strange. I was a kid again. I looked just like I had when I first entered the digital world, goofy goggles and everything.
"This is so strange", then I noticed that the seven orgemon were dancing happily around the room.
"What the hell?" I asked standing up and wiping the sleep from my eyes, "Are you guys taking dance lessons or something because you sure need them"
"This week started out bad but now better!" one ogremon shouted with glee.
"We get annoying punk who can't sing… and master decides to punish!"
" Hey wait that wouldn't be me would it……of course it couldn't because I can sing" I tried shouting above the commotion they were making but I was ignored.
"Then we get new human that we might eat!"
"HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME!" finally they turned to me.
"You on nursing duty" the fat one said opening the cell and handing me a bucket and sponge, "You clean digimon and humans".
"your kidding right?"
"Why would I?"
"You know I could just run away right?"
"Try." Was all the fat one said as he opened the first cell and stood beside it waiting for me to get in and start cleaning…so I did.
I got a lot of ridicule that day, but also learned a lot about the other prisoners. Most of the humans didn't remember much about the people in their previous life but the only thing they seemed to remember was computer programming it scared me they all had this blank look in their eyes like they were trying to desperately remember about their past life in the human world but couldn't. And the digimon didn't seem to remember anything finally I got to the last cell, I was in quite a state some digimon had fought back when I tried to clean them off and when they kicked it hurt. I was thankful a human occupied the last cell. Surprisingly enough he looked young, I took a deep breath and got prepared to……………run.
(Koji's POV)
When I awoke I was in a dank cell I observed my surroundings keeping my head safely huddled between my knees and arms. When I saw the boy go from cell to cell I wondered if he was with the bad guys I could probably take him he looked about my age. I know I shouldn't have let my guard down but he looked so friendly and anyways even IF I took the boy out I was too weak I would get clobbered by the ogremon. Sooner than I expected the young boy started walking in my direction by now the guards had let their guards down for the boy had been quietly doing his work, big mistake. The boy dropped the bucket and shot off like a bullet, the other prisoner stuck their heads out of their now closed cages to get a better look, even I raised my eyes, but the boy didn't have a chance. He had ran through the dark hall of cells and bounded up the stairs, we all thought he had done it for a moment and the other prisoners let out a cheer, but then we all heard it a bloodcurdling crack and the disgusting plop, plop, plop as we saw the boy roll down the wet slimy stairs. His face was in pain I wanted to help but at the same time I didn't want to move in fear of getting hurt. All I did was stare.
(Tai's POV)
The pain was excruciating, as I reached the stairs I thought I would make it, but the stairs were surprisingly long and slimy and I slipped a few times. I also didn't expect the fat ogremon to be at the top. He got me hard in the face and I bounced down the stairs breaking my wrist and losing my dignity. For a second I thought I had gone unconscious but I hadn't, but I still tried to fake it. Too bad the guards noticed. The thin guard pulled me by my hair and looked me straight in the eye.
"Finish job" he said calmly letting me down, but no way I wasn't going down without a fight.
"You can't make me"
"FINISH JOB!" the ogremon jumped up and down spitting the words out so I ran, picked up the bucket (thankfully it still had some water left in it) and continued on to the last cell.
(Koji's POV)
I buried my face in my arms I didn't want to see this boy anymore he reminded me too much of Takuya. In a way I missed Takuya even though we disagreed about closing the link to the digital world, I still missed him.
(Tai's POV)
I walked slowly to the last cell delaying it as much as possible the pain in my right wrist was excruciating, as I walked closer I wondered if the boy had been sucked into the digiworld accidentally for it looked like he was crying. I felt sorry for him and wanted to comfort him but like Matt his aura was one that told strangers to stay away. I walked beside him and put the bucket down. Using my left hand I grabbed the sponge and softly wiped off the young boys sandy arms but he pulled away.
" You know the first time I entered the digital world I cried too, I was scared too it's okay to be afra…….." I began. But the boy looked up at me with accusing eyes.
"I'm not scared" I was frozen was it really him? His eyes looked the exact same, sure his frame his hair and what he wore was different but he had been gone for two years now. Could it really be it really be……
"Matt?"
