It's been a while since my last update and I'm sorry about that. Hopefully this chapter will make up for that. As by the title of the chapter you see that there'll be some new characters introduced in this story. To find out who those people are you have to read the chapter to find out.

For the disclaimer, I don't own digimon. If I did I would have made this for tv, not fanfiction.

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

Chapter 3:
Newcomers From
A Different World

In what seemed like another ordinary night in Kyoto as its residents tried to enjoy the nightlife. Unbeknownst to them was that in the sky was what appeared to be a wormhole opening up and shortly after a ball of light came out. It started to fall to the ground when suddenly the ball of light split in two with each half flying down in opposite directions.

While one of them went to an undisclosed location, the other landed in a deserted alley. Slowly the light began to fade away and inside you could see that there was actually someone inside. When the light completely gone it was obvious that the person was female.

She was advantage height with strawberry blonde hair that went to the small of her back and was wearing a simple dark red dress that went to her knees. Getting to her feet she opened her brown eyes to look at her surroundings. "W-Where am I?"

-/-/-/-/-

Following Morning…

"How are you healing man?" It had been three days since Daisuke and the others were a part of that whole unpleasant hunting experience and all three of them were hanging out at Daisuke's place.

"I'm fine Ken. I was almost fully healed after a day and a half. However, that doesn't mean I'm not still a little sore from the whole affair."

Not wanting to be left out of the loop, Hikari who was reading a newspaper entered the conversation. "Sorry to interrupt but do either of your remember something called the Takenaka Coporation?"

"Yeah, I do. At least what I did to it after the last time that I came across it." exclaimed a somewhat smug Daisuke. "Why do you ask?" Folding the paper she showed them the headline and what they saw shocked them.. Turning the newspaper around Hikari began to read the article.

"After suffering a explosion which has yet to be explained two months ago, the gobally known company known as the Takenaka Corporation has reopened their doors and are prepared to run their business even better than before. And from there they discuss the company's history"

"Are you kidding me? Even blowing them up won't stop them?" questioned Ken who has of yet to confront the mentioned group.

"I guess not." answered Daisuke in a surprisingly calm voice. "The question is what they'll plan on doing with those who are on the top of their enemy list? And I'm referring to the three of us. Something tells me we won't be waiting long to find out."

-/-/-/-/-

"What's the status of everything?" spoke an attractive young woman as she and a small group of men were walking down numerous hallways.

"At this time all systems are running smoothly with everything running at eighty percent capacity." Hearing that bit of news, the woman stopped in her tracks and stared down the man.

"Were only at eight percent capacity? We should be back to a hundred percent by now. We can't afford to have any screw ups. With the higher ups busy doing that secret project of theirs we've got to be on our toes so we don't get on their bad side." After releasing the stream she calmed back down. "Now is there anything else to report?"

"Ah, yes there is. Last night our systems detected some strange readings. It has been identified as a portal to some unknown dimension. The portal closed as quickly as it opened but not before something came out. Shortly after that, the thing that came out of the portal split in two and went in opposite directions."

"Please tell me you were able to track down and obtain whatever those things were?"

"Well, due to our systems still not being fully up and running we weren't able to do so. Fortunately the salvage team was able to obtain one of them."

Entering what seemed to be a laboratory they spotted in the center of the room a slender girl with auburn eyes and violet hair that went to her back but was kept in a ponytail. The outfit that she was wearing was a black tee shirt and tight black pants.

"She was one of the two things that came out of that portal from last night. One of our clean up crew were able to capture her before she could get far."

"What is the meaning of this?" yelled the obvious upset captive woman. "I want out of here and I want out now." She slapped her hands forward only to have them bounce back as a result of hitting the force field that was surrounding her.

"As you can see we had to put her in a containment field since she was acting hostile and things weren't easier as she was carrying this." Turning to one of the lab assistances the man was handed something which he gave to his boss who immediately identified it as a sword used for fighting.

"Were you able to get anything from the tests?" the woman asked as she continued to examine the craftsmanship of the sword.

"As a matter of fact, no, we weren't. We weren't able to discover her origin from the test results. From what we could gather she appears almost human with the exception of being slightly stronger than normal as our men discovered when they captured her. Fortunately most of them will be out of the hospital within the next few weeks."

"So we got ourselves a fighter here." Handing back the sword the lady walked over until she was standing in front of their 'guest'. "Well, do you have a name or do we have to refer you as 'hey you'?"

The captive said nothing as she was considering if she should even bother talking to them. "I'm known as Miyako Inoue. Now that I answered your question answer mine. Where in the hell am I?"

"That's a good question that you have there. You're in the wonderful business facility of the Takenaka Corporation. But to be more precise, you are on a planet called Earth. Care to explain how you happen to enter this dimension?"

"I'm not that sure." Miyako answered honestly. "All I know is that we were just walking through the countryside when all of a sudden a giant hole in the sky opened up and pulled us in. The next thing I know I'm in this weird place."

Hearing the short details the boss lady realized a key part. "You said 'we'. Who was the other one?"

-/-/-/-/-

In what appeared to be a bad part of town a variety of people were waling up and down the streets in their own worlds. However, in one woman in particular it was exactly like she was in a different world as she was other person who came out of the portal and now she was looking all around her hopefully to find a way home. Unbeknownst to her was that she was walking past a particular stoop there were three not trustworthy looking men sitting there and watched her as she pasted by. Acting secretively, they began to follow her so they could perform what they believed to be fun.

As she continued to walk she was unaware of her stalkers until she chose to go into an alley. Once she went in she saw that it was a dead end and was about to turn around to leave when she spotted the three men blocking the only way out. "Y-Ye-Yes? Is there something you want gentlemen?" asked the frightened woman.

Snickering, the men began to walk toward her. "Oh, I think we already know what we want." spoke what seemed to be the leader of the group. Coming closer the three were about to force themselves onto her until someone intervened.

"Hey now, that's no way to treat a lady." Right there at the alley entrance was Daisuke. Walking over he was ready to get involved for the woman's behalf. "I guess that you leave the lady alone and get out of here before you regret it." Believing that this intruder was nothing more than a temporary annoyance the men just laughed.

"Yeah right you idiot. Get out of here now and we won't be the shit out of you." Turning around they were going to continue from where they left off until they were interrupted once again. "Listen, we're telling you to get lost before the three of us-"

Before he could finished his threat he was punched right in the face by Daisuke which came at him so strong that it knocked the guy out. Seeing their friend get taken down the two remaining men became angered and as a way to get revenge they charged at him only to be dealt with quickly as Daisuke made short work of them and leaving them unconscious as well. "I warn them but they didn't listen. Oh well."

Forgetting them he put his focus his attention to the woman who had slumped down to the ground, not being able to stand after everything that had happen. "Hey, it's all right now. The men were taken cared of so you can go home now." As if she didn't hear him, the lady just sat there with a blank expression on her face. Starting to get worried about her condition, Daisuke knelt beside her.

"Come on, snap out of it." The most unexpected thing happen when he placed a hand on her shoulder she looked at him wide eyed and began to shake around until she slumped completely to the ground as she was passed out. "Uh, something tells me that there's something not normal about this."

-/-/-/-/-

"Sir, we've got a report about where the other person that arrived with our guest." Handing the boss lady a folder she look through the details that was inside and when she came across one particular item she groaned.

"This is great, just great. This was the one thing that we hoped wouldn't happen but it has."

"We're aware of that sir. However, after what he did to us the first time we're not in any position to take him on."

As much as she hated to admit it her colleague was right. It was then that she got struck with an idea. "Who said that we have to be the ones to go after him?" To answer her colleague's unspoken question she headed back into the lab that held the contained Miyako.

"Ah, so you've came back. I was starting to get bored by constantly smacking against this force field." It didn't take an expert to tell that Miyako was straining to keep her anger inside.

This didn't go unnoticed by the lady but she decided to ignore it if she wished for her idea to work. "Yeah, that's fascinating. Listen, we happen to find the location of your friend." Hearing that instantly caught the interest of Miyako as she got up to her feet.

"You know where Mimi is?"

Noticing the urgency in her captive's voice the lady continued to egg her on. "So her name is Mimi, interesting. Anyways, we discovered that she's in the possession of a person named Daisuke Motomiya. He's a vampire, who drinks the blood of the living and if he doesn't do that he simple kills them." Walking over she grabbed Miyako's sword she ordered the force field to be shutdown. "We can take you to where they are so you can deal with him in your own way. The choice is really up to."

For a while nothing was said as Miyako was choosing whether or not to believe these people. Finally, she reached out and grabbed her sword. "Take me to this Daisuke so that I can kill him."

-/-/-/-/-

"Let me see if I get this straight. You're not really from around here, but in actuality you're from a whole different dimension. When suddenly, a portal opened up that sent you and your cousin to this world and when you came to you found yourself on your own. Now you're looking for your cousin and trying to get back to your home dimension. Does that about sum it up?" asked Daisuke as he, Hikari and Ken were at his place where they heard the back story or the woman that he saved earlier, which she said that her name was Mimi Tachikawa. To say the lease it was one colorful story.

"Yes, that's all of it." Spoke Mimi who had regain consciousness a short while ago. "I know it must sound crazy but you must believe me."

"Uh, we never said that we don't believe you." Hikari quickly explained. "Trust me; we've gone through some pretty strange things so it isn't hard to believe what you're saying."

"I would believe so. After hearing the tales about some of your advantages I feel as though you would understand. You three sure live interesting lives."

"That's putting it mildly." uttered Ken quietly that could still be heard by everyone. But anyways, we now have to put our priorities in order. The first one is to find your cousin."

That wouldn't matter as mere seconds later the front door was blasted in, causing debris to go flying everywhere.

Taking his focus away from what happened Daisuke looked to see if his friends were okay. With the exception of being a little dusty both Hikari and Ken were okay. However, the same couldn't be said for Mimi as she was on the ground out cold once again. The cause would be discovered that a piece of debris hit her across the head, causing a small gash on her forehead.

Rushing over everyone went to check and see if she was okay. "What's going on here? Who dares to barge into my home?" demanded Daisuke. He would get his answer when a woman with violet hair and carrying a sword walked in. When entering Miyako immediately saw Mimi on the ground with her blood coming from her gash in the lap of a man who she was told to be Daisuke Motomiya, the man who was planning on either killing, torture, drink from her or all three to her friend.

"You animal! Look at what you did to my cousin."

"What I did? Are you daft woman? I wasn't the one who blasted the door which cause your cousin to get hurt." As he spoke a certain thought came to Daisuke. "Wait a minute, you said 'cousin'. That can only mean that you're Miyako Inoue. You're the cousin that Mimi told us about."

"Oh, I'm sure that she did." Looking down to the wounded girl and the way things appeared when she came in it didn't take long for Daisuke to realize that this didn't look good.

"Whoa, now wait a minute. This isn't what it looks like. She got that cut on her forehead when you blew up my door. I had nothing to do with it."

"That's enough of your lies. I was already told about you. You're one of those who live off of the pain and misery of innocent people." spat out Miyako with some venom in her voice.

"That's not true." intruded Hikari as she and Ken were tending to a still unconscious Mimi. "Daisuke hasn't and would never harm a human. Well, there were those few occasions but they were deserving of what was coming to them."

"That's enough Hikari. I think you have said enough." stated Daisuke with a tone that lacked any type of emotion.

"I see that you got yourself some minons under your control." Miyako was referring to Daisuke's two friends. "I suggest that you keep them out of our fight."

Obviously both Ken and Hikari didn't take too kindly to being called minions and Ken was the first to state that fact. "Hey now, I'm nobodies minion."

"Stay out of this Ken. Just stay back with Hkari while I deal with this." Thankfully he did what he was asked to do. "It seems as though you are determined to fight me but it isn't going to happen."

The reaction came immediate as Miyako punched him across the face. It came so hard that it caused Daisuke's head to be turned to the side. "Do you think you can back away from this? You're nothing more than a animal who needs to be put down." She went for another punch but was stopped when Daisuke grabbed her by the throat.

"You want to fight an animal?" Staring straight into Miyako's eyes Daisuke's face went to vampire form. "Then you're going to get one." With his hand still on her throat he grabbed one of her arms with the other and tossed her through the window. Right before going after her, he turned to Hikari and Ken. "Watch over Mimi. I've got some business to attend to."

Before either of them could say a word he was gone. "He's really going to go through with it, isn't he?" asked Hikari.

"Yeah he is." replied Ken. "We better wake Mimi up before those two go ahead and kill one another."

-/-/-/-/-

Stepping out of his place Daisuke looked for his opponent. Fortunately for him it was dark outside but if he was thinking clearly he would've realize that the sun was to come up within the hour. The only thing that was going through his head was dealing with Miyako who was standing in the center of the street with a few cuts from crashing through the window.

"Well, it seems as though I hit a sore spot with you." teased Miyako. "Maybe now I'll get a fight out of you."

"It looks like it." Walking over he stood face to face with her. "I didn't want to fight with you and I told you the truth about your cousin but you didn't believe me. I guess I'll just have to beat some sense into you."

Not another word was said as the two went at one another with neither one holding back. They didn't even bother to block the other's blows as if they were trying to prove who was tougher. After what seemed like an eternity the two backed away.

Wiping the blood from her lip, Miyako smiled at her opponent. "I hate to admit it but I'm impress. There isn't that many people who can keep up with me. I guess what they said about you being a tough adversary was true."

Despite his best efforts Daisuke smiled right back at her. "The feeling is mutual. That still doesn't mean I won't take you down."

"I would say the same thing but unfortunately that's not the case." Surprisingly she reached into her jeans and pulled out what looked like a walkie-talkie. "Bring them in." With those words an armored hummer came driving down the street and came to a stop right behind Miyako.

Before Daisuke could comprehend what this was all about, a group of men came out of the hummer were heavily armed and it seemed as though they had their sights sent on him. They weren't the only ones as coming out from the passenger side was a young attractive woman who was wearing a black business suit with matching skirt. She had long, straight dirty blonde hair that went pass her shoulders and green eyes. What Daisuke didn't know was that she was the one responsible for this whole thing.

The woman walked over until she was standing beside the armed men. Without so much as a word, she waved her arm forward which signaled to open fire. All at once the men fired their weapons but instead of firing bullets, they shot out some type of objects that exploded to become giant nets and before Daisuke could react they tangled around him to the point that he fell to the ground.

"So, this is the mighty Daisuke who's made a named for himself lately?" Walking over the woman knelt down beside him. "I must say that I was expecting something more. But I must admit that you're not that bad looking."

Putting a halt on his struggling Daisuke checked out his situation. "Let's see what we got here. We got armed soldiers with first rate weapons working like a well toned machine and being lead by a person wearing a business suit. The Takenaka Corporation I presume."

"You are correct sir. Come on, did you actually think there wouldn't be some sort of retaliation for your little explosion act?"

"Actually, I did. I just thought that the higher ups would've done something a bit more creative and not having it under the leadership of some bubble brain woman." That comment seemingly struck a nerve of the woman as look of anger came across her face.

"Clever. But trust me, the higher ups chose wisely when they put me, Hitomi Mitchell in charge." Getting up, Hitomi walked back to her men. "Kill him and anyone else who's inside the house." She was about to head back to the hummer until spoke out to her.

"Wait a minute! You said that the only one who would possibly be killed would be the vampire and no harm would come to the others." exclaimed Miyako with confusion in her voice.

Not even bothering to turn around, Hitomi responded to Miyako's words. "I lied. So deal with it."

"But you promise to get me and my cousin back to our dimension."

"Man, don't you get it?" butted in Daisuke. "They used your closeness for your friend to come after me and soften me up so they could have a better chance in getting me. Once you've did that you had served your propose. So why would they want to keep you or your cousin around?"

"You're cleverer than I thought Motomiya. That's exactly what is going on. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to stop it."

"Maybe he can't but I sure can." Turning around both Hitomi and the soldiers saw Miyako and she looked ready for a fight.

"You can't be serious. There's no way you can take all of us at once." stated Hitomi without any sign of concern in her voice.

Instead of backing down, Miyako actually maintained the same confident look on her face. "Now who said I would be fighting alone?" To answer everyone's unspoken question she tossed her sword but instead of aiming for the soldiers or Hitomi, she threw it towards the nets that were holding down Daisuke. It cut through a portion of the nets which allowed him to become free. "I think the sides just got a little more even."

An all out fight broke out as both Daisuke and Miyako took on the soldiers and despite being out numbered they were still hanging with them. As this was going on, Hitomi slowly began to walk back to one of the hummers where she got in and drove away, leaving her men behind in who was now involved in a losing fight. In a short while all the soldiers were taken cared of as they limped away.

"That was sure entertaining." Spoke a breathless Miyako who was brushing off the dust that she gained during the scuffle with the men..

"I'll have to agree with on that. It's been sometime since I've had such an interesting day." It suddenly accrued to the both of them that they were in the middle of something before being interrupted. "You do realize that we still have some unfinished business?" asked Daisuke with some reluctances.

"I know. Let's just get this over with." The two squared off against one another and were about to go at it once again until a voice intervene.

"Everyone please stop!" Stopping the both of them turned to see Ken and Hikari coming towards them. But the outburst didn't come from either of them who spoke up as it was none other than the one who they were helping. "Miyako?" spoke a bandaged Mimi. When the two caught one another's eye they ran to one another where they gave each other a warm hug.

"This definitely turned out to be an interesting day." exclaimed Ken who spike out the thing that was going through both Daisuke and Hikari's heads.

-/-/-/-/-

"Care to explain what you were doing tonight?" Back in the rebuilt Takenaka Corporation building Hitomi was in her office when a monitor turned on to show two of the three shadowed higher ups that had an interest in Daisuke. "We put you in charge of the daily business of the company as we're involved in a very important project and in one day you lost a yet to be identified inter-dimensional being who you try to use to kill a person that we've got plans for and in the process had the two of them join forces against us. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Becoming worried for her very existence, Hitomi actually bowed in front of the monitor. "I'm deeply sorry sirs. I overstepped my boundaries. I just thought that you would want the one who cause the company to be almost been taken out to be dealt with. There is a punishment ensured for me, I know this and I wait for it to come." For an entire minute Hitomi waited for whatever was to come but it never came."

"Relax, Ms. Mitchell, in a way you helped us. We got a better understanding on what Mr. Motomiya is capable of doing if pushed far enough." Feeling relieved Hitomi let out the breath that she was holding in. "However, you did overstep your boundaries and we can't allow you to get away with it without having some punishment."

Just then her office doors opened and two muscular men came in where they each grabbed one of her arms and dragged her out to get whatever was coming to her. "She has some potential. Maybe we'll keep her around for a while longer. Now let's get back to our project. Once it's ready Mr. Motomiya will be in for a big surprise." With that the monitor turned to black.

-/-/-/-/-

"I must say that I'm very sorry." An hour after the confrontation with Hitomi and the Takenaka Corporation soldiers, Daisuke and the others explained to Miyako on really had been going on and filled some of the blanks that she had.

"For the last time stop apologizing. You made a mistake, which one of us hasn't done that?" spoke Daisuke as he treated to his injuries. "The important thing is that you realize your mistake and helped to rectify it before any real harm could happen." While wrapping the bandage around his injured ribs he did so a little too tightly, causing him to groan in pain. "At the very lease nothing that is long lasting."

"But there must be something that I can do to repay you for what you did for me and my cousin."

"There is something that you can do. Tell us where the two of you came from."

"That is quite simple to answer. We come from a dimension called Patherain. It's a place that is a little behind this dimension's technology. Mimi and I were in a forest just exploring when a portal opened up and we ended up in this world."

"We're sorry to here about that." said Ken in the kindest voice he could muster. "But we'll do everything that we can to get the two of you back to your home."

"Thank you." muttered Miyako softly as she was really touched by Ken's words. "Thank you, very much."

"There's something that still needs to be answered." exclaimed Daisuke as he finished up with the mending his injuries. "When I first met up with Mimi she passed out after I simply touched her. She didn't look hurt so I have to clue to why that happen. Do you perhaps know the reason?"

"I'll answer that." spoke Mimi who had thankfully was doing better from the injury that she suffered to her head. "I have the ability to see things or events in the future. Premonitions if you will. They don't come along that very often and I have no warning to when they come. For example, I got one when you touched me. Don't ask me what I saw. There were too many images flashing through my head that it was impossible to see what they were about."

"That's fine by me. I rather not know about my future. Now that we got those issues out of the way there is still one thing that needs to be dealt with. Those issues being where are the two of you going to be living until we are able to return you home?"

"Daisuke's right." added Ken. "I mean his place isn't big enough to have the two of you stay at his place for any extended amount of time."

"Well, Mimi could perhaps stay with Hikari." remarked Daisuke in an almost humorous manner.

"Huh? Why at my place?" questioned Hikari who finally added in her two cent into the conversation.

"Let's face facts Hikari. Your place is a lot cozier than mine. Also, you can help her get more adjusted into this world."

It seemed like Hikari wasn't all too kin about the idea but finally gave in. "All right, I'll do it. It may prove to be interesting. But what does that leave Miyako? There's no way I can have the both of them staying with me." Daisuke was about to say that she could stay at his place until someone spoke up.

"She can stay with me."

"Ken, are you sure you thought this through?"

"I'm sure Daisuke. Besides, I think it probably wouldn't be a good idea for the two of you to be staying underneath the same roof after the two of you went at each not that long ago." Obviously Ken was referring to the fight that the two of them had just hours ago.

Daisuke felt as though there was more to Ken's decision than he let on but chose not to say anything for the time being. "Then I guess it's settled. I believe this is the start of a even greater journey than any of us can imagine."

I'm hoping that you readers enjoyed this chapter and how I introduce Miyako and Mimi into this story. I wanted to have them to be somewhat different to how they were in the anime and I hope that I was successful in doing that. Now, please go ahead and leave a review about what you felt about the chapter and story in general.
