Chapter 3

A Brewing Storm : Gokudera, Hayato!

The last thing that Hayato Gokudera remembered was the computer screen he was at getting extremely bright. He knew one thing for sure though; he had been at the library just moments ago. Not a forest with randomly placed street signs all over the place. Sitting up the silver haired teen groaned, swore, and put a hand to his head all at the same time.

His head was killing him!

"It's about time you woke up~" Gokudera jumped in surprise at the voice.

"What the fuck?" He exclaimed looking down at a small animal that reminded him of a puppy with a strange collar.

"That's not very polite you know." A little girl's voice made Gokudera look to his left where there was a girl that looked about ten years old. She was in a pink dress with a blue cape, gloves, knee high boots, and matching hat with a pink star on it. Long dark brown hair hung freely behind her, and she had caramel brown eyes on her soft slightly pale smiling childish face.

"What the fuck?" Gokudera repeated. He was not in a particularly good mood, and just because there was a little girl and a strange…

Was that thing an UMA?

Gokudera stared hard at the creature right next to him, ignoring the little girl. "UMA? I've never heard of this kind before..." A giggle from the little girl made him stop and scowl at her. "What do you want kid?" He asked obviously irritated.

"I-It' not an UMA, what ever that is. Salamon is a digimon!" She said as she stopped giggling. She grinned and held out one of her gloved hands, in it was a strange electronic and some sort of ring.

Gokudera scowled at her, and the things in her hand, "What are those?" He asked.

"They're yours. The electronic is your digivice, and the ring is your crest. You need to take good care of them Hayato." She said shoving the things into Gokudera's hands.

For a moment Gokudera gaped at the strange girl, as soon as that was over though his face tinted red with anger as he started to sputter something about her not calling him by that name, and how the hell did she even know it?

The irritating little girl only smiled more at him, and the UMA (because it didn't matter what that girl said this was an UMA damnit! He was sure of it.) had the nerve to actually laugh!

"I know Nee-san didn't teach you that Hayato! You almost sound like G-nii!" She announced as if he was supposed to know whom she was talking about.

Gokudera clicked his tongue at her, looking away from the annoying girl whose name he still didn't know, and asked gruffly, "Who the hell are you talking about brat? Better yet, who the hell are you?"

The child finally stopped smiling at him, hurt crossing her face before it settled on something that Gokudera couldn't name. "R-Right, you were still a baby…" She said softly scuffing her foot on the ground. Gokudera looked at her weirdly wonder what she had meant by that. He jerked when she gave him a blindingly fake smile, "Hayato you wait here! G-nii is near by. I'll go find him, and then we can go back to head quarters." She said before turning and taking off into the forest.

Alice ran through the forest using her digivice to locate her search partner. She hoped that leaving Hayato back there on his own was fine, because she honestly didn't think that he would have fallowed her anywhere.

All he had to do was sit tight for a few minuets until she returned with G.

"G! G, I found Hayato!" She called running up to the tattooed red head when she found him.

G turned to look at her with a blink, "Well, where is he?" He asked.

"A-Ah, he's back further in the forest of useless road signs. I… I didn't think he'd come with me…" She said trailing off.

G groaned, "So you left him alone?" He asked.

Alice blinked once, then twice, then she paled, "G-nii, you don't think…" She started.

G nodded his head, "There's no way that brat was staying put Alice. Come on, take me to where you left him." He said holding a hand out for the girl.

Alice grabbed it and started leading the way to where she had left Hayato praying that he had stayed there, and not wandered off.

Hayato Gokudera was not where Alice left him, in fact once he had clipped the strange device onto his belt, and put the ring he had been given on a finger the silver haired boy picked up the little Salamon and walked off further into the forest.

When asked by his little UMA why he wasn't waiting Hayato had stated plainly that the girl had a few screws loose, and there was no way he was waiting for her to bring a friend over. He also grudgingly admitted to his curiosity about this bizarre forest. It wasn't like Gokudera was in a hurry to get home or anything; it was quite the opposite being that the young man had run away when he was eight.

He just wanted to know where the hell he was!

So off he went into the forest with no idea of where he was, or where he was going. It was days like this when the silver haired young teen didn't know if he should beat his head against a wall (or tree in this case), or if he should be excited for a new adventure.

Either way Hayato Gokudera was starting to get the feeling that this was going to be a very long day.

A/N : There's Gokudera's first chapter. Sorry this took so long, I had a bit of muse fail, and writers block. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well! Next up is Haru, and that chapter is getting some drastic changes to it!

Please review with your dying will! Flames will still be used to roast marshmallows with Byakuran.

"What the hell the trees talk too?"

Haru blinked and looked up in surprise, she stared at the entrance of her hiding tree with the strangest sense of deja vu. Slowly she stood up and walked to the front of the entrance, stopping before she left, "The tree isn't talking." She replied.

"Well it sure seems like it to me! God this place is bizzare..." The irritated male voice replied. Haru sighed and stepped out of the tree, making the young man on the other side jump in surprise. "What the hell?" He exclaimed as the digimon next to him snickered.

Haru frowned, the feeling that she had had this conversation before gone. The thought that crossed her mind was, 'I want the other boy...' Haru shook her head and scowled as the silver haired teen in front of her started muttering something about human looking UMAs. "It's a hiding tree, and Haru's not a, a Um-wahtever!" She retorted. A roar from near by could be heard and Haru froze for a moment before seh grabbed Gokudera by the wrist and pulled him into the tree.

"What the hell are you-?" He exclaimed only to be shushed by Haru

"It'll find us if you're that loud!" She whispered before leaning against a side of the tree.
