Chapter One: “Let's Kick It Up..”

 

 

The soft rhythmic pit-pattering of rain on the glass of the class-room window, and the warmth inside the room itself, cause a common effect amongst the students assemble within. The teacher's drolling voice did little to help, instead it only helped to increase the effect. Not one student was alert. Several had their heads down on the desk while staring with heavily lidded eyes into nothingness. Many others snored lightly in their seats.

 

It was the start of the new semester at North Eugene High School, and already the students were sleeping in class. Mrs.Yates paused her drolling lecture to frown at her class. All but two were either asleep or about to join the others in doing so. On the right hand side, towards the front by the window, a young female with shortly cut blue-black hair sat reading a book with her head propped up on one hand.

 

The girl had black mess-like fingerless gloves on and a pair of goggles around her neck. An odd, or rather, strange girl. Though she was reading, she sat straight in her chair. Her pale blueish white eyes intent on the page before them. Every so often using her index to push her glasses back up the bridge of her nose.

 

Shaking her head, Mrs.Yates turned her attention to the far left hand side corner. There a young man with longish black hair sat playing a gray Nintendo gameboy advanced. He made no sound but his body jerked along with the game, his tongue stuck out in concentration. He was the tallest guy in class so he was bent over his desk, his green hazel eyes flicking awhile following the game. Without warning he suddenly stood up and threw his arms into the air, knocking over his chair in the process.

 

“YES! High Score!” He cheered exuberantly, breaking the spell on the others. Nearly everyone in class started laughing. Nearly.

 

Elessa growled to herself then stuffed a pair of blue ear buds into her ears to drown out the laughter. Why couldn't he ever be just a little quiet? They had been in the same classes since grade school, and he was always the same. He loved games as much as she loved books.

 

When one of her ear buds were pulled from her ear she had to close her eyes and count to ten.

 

“Oi, what do you want Kai?” She grumbled lightly, being interrupted twice while reading a good book was the best way to foul her mood.

 

“Can you say 'lunch'?” He grinned, slipping his gameboy into the pocket of his baggy shorts.

 

“Oh I dunno . . . launch?” She smirked, deciding to be a smart ass.

 

“Uh, no.” Kai playfully sighed, crossed his arms and shook his head in mock disappointment. With a shrug, Elessa got up and slipped her book into her bag while slinging it across her shoulder so the strap went over her chest.

 

There were numerous cat calls from the male student body leaving the class. It was normal since she liked to wear a powder blue mini-skirt that had a black-mess underskirt and a white spaghetti strap top with an open faded blue hooded vest. Her belly and arms were nearly always bare. To make up the height difference between herself and Kai, she wore a pair of thick healed demi-boots that zipped up near the arch and had a silver ring decoration on the other side along with white knee highs.

 

“Nye! You wish!” Elessa called after the guys, sticking out her tongue and pulling down one lower eyelid.

 

“You know they love teasing you Ele.” Kai smirked and began walking to the door. Elessa adjusted the rough strap against her chest then followed, passing Mrs.Yates who was now reading a newspaper.

 

“Like you?” She laughed playfully tapping him on the shoulder. He feigned falling against the wall as if she had punched him really hard.

 

“OW! What'd you do that for?!” Kai called loudly, rubbing at his arm. His white shirt and black sleeveless jacket all askew on purpose. Elessa rolled her eyes and sighed mentally, starting to walk on without him.

 

“Guys! Wait up!” The call made the two friends pause in the hall. The clacking of Elessa's demi-boots on the tiled floor of the hall faded as they turned to glance back the way they came. Trying to catch up by running, stumbling and nearly depositing his books on the ground, was Chris their fellow classmate.

 

Elessa placed her iPod's ear buds into the front of her shirt, in the space created by her cleavage, as she waited for him. It wasn't unusual for him to be the last out of class so it was routine for them to pause in the hall as they were. Chris was socially awkward and hated large groups. Kai, being the poler opposite, had drawn him into their 'posse' as he would often refer to it as.

 

This 'posse' consisted of herself, Kai, Chris, and two other freshmen that were now in a separate class. At first the group had all been in the same classes, but now the only met at lunch or after school and weekends.

 

“Dude, catch your breath we're not leaving you ok?” Elessa giggled as Chris bent over wheezing. “Speaking of weekends . . . Kai, we still up for the mall on Saturday?” She turned slightly to view the guy who was trying very hard not to laugh at their friend. And loosing miserably.

 

“You do this to yourself Chris. Why not leave class earlier or something?” He grinned and patted the sandy blond on the back. “Huh? I think so. We might want to double check with Andrew and Colline though.” He replied seriously for once.

 

Elessa played with her earing while in thought, an old habit she hadn't quite kicked. She had four piercings, three in the lobe and one at the top in the cartilage, so she had given up trying to kick it. Noticing that Chris had his breath back she began walking once again towards the cafeteria. Chris and Kai in toe close behind while chattering about games.

 

Smiling despite herself, she couldn't help but love 'her boys' as she called them. “If we can all meet up at the mall you two can play all the games you want. But for now we have to find out just who is going.” Elessa broke into their convo, earning an exasperated gasp from Kai.

 

“Are you saying we might not go? Can we say 'Party Crasher” children?” Came his not so quiet reply.

 

“Well, what's the point if no one else can go? We're a team . . . err or as close to one as we can get, so if one doesn't go then no one goes. If anything you two can come over to my place and play DDR or something.” Elessa commented calmly, turning a 180 to walk backwards so she could see them. She was actually quite good at doing that.

 

“SHOOSH YOU!” Kai yelled while pointing a finger menacingly at her. She narrowed her eyes a fraction. Nope, he could never be quite.

 

“I'm pretty sure they're going Ele. I got a text from Colline last period. She said to hurry up when the bell rang because she wanted to discuss the trip.” Chris spoke up, casually bringing himself into the convo.

 

“Uh, Chris? Couldn't you've said something just a little bit sooner?” Elessa asked sweetly, her voice coated in honey. Chris laughed nervously. This pale eyed girl could be rather scary when she wanted to.

 

“Ma ne.” She laughed and spun around while clasping her hands behind her back.

 

“Ele's been watching too much anime me thinks.” Kai laughed as they stepped through the door into the lunch room.

 

“Meh.” Elessa shrugged at the comment while searching the overly loud, and overly crowded, cafeteria. “Hey there they are! How'd they get here first?” She frowned and raised a brow. Across the room sat an almost vacant table. A small one with only enough room to seat five. Their crew always sat there so the other students left it alone. Nearly every student sat in the same spot at lunch so it was no big deal. It was when some of them wondered around to find other friends that it became a problem.

 

Currently sitting at their table were a strawberry blond and another brunette. Colline and Andrew. The two noticed the others and needlessly waved them over.

 

“So how was English?” Andrew asked with a smile as the others sat around the table.

 

“Good enough for a nap.” Chris chirped, taking the seat next to him.

 

“Got a new high score!” Kai put in sitting next to Colline.

 

“The rain put everyone to sleep.” Elessa laughed quietly, slinging her bag over the back o the only available seat between Chris and Kai.

 

“That bad huh?” Colline sympathized with the other girl who smiled and shrugged.

 

“Could have been worse.” Elessa giggled at the suggestion. At least Mrs.Yates didn't decide to give everyone detention on the first day. It's barely the second semester after all.” She reached around to her bag and pulled out a Japanese lunch box while the others brought out their own lunches.

 

“Ele, have you been watching an anime marathon again?” Colline raised a brow as Ele placed the two tiered lunch box on the table.

 

“Eh? Why does everyone ask me that?” She took out a matching set of chop sticks, frowning slightly.

 

“Well let's see . . . first it was the Japanese in the hall, and now it's a bento. Can we say 'Otaku'?” Kai laughed, teasing Ele was obviously his favorite pass time.

 

“You're just as bad as I am, Kai.” Ele opened her lunch while she spoke, revealing onegiri, breaded shrimp, and octopus weeniers. No on looked at him.

 

“How so?” Kai's brows rose to meet his hair line, seemingly confused by her statement. As if on cue, each of the other four simultaneously pointed a utensil at Kai's Naruto bag. Elessa brought her chopsticks back to her food, smiling at her friend.

 

“Oh and let's not forget the Spanese.” Andrew couldn't help but bring up the combination of Spanish and Japanese Kai often strung together in one sentence.

 

“Oh! You got me!” Kai dramatically fell back in his seat, clutching at an invisible wound in his chest.

 

“So anyway, are you two going to be able to make it tomorrow?” Chris ignored the loudly dying Kai for the moment and brought the group back to the subject they had been discussing earlier.

 

“I'm in. I hear there's some good sales going on right now.” Colline bit into a tuna sandwich, watching as Kai decided to stop playing dead.

 

“The cafe' on the second floor is really nice, maybe we could meet there and then eat lunch?” He put in a serious comment and pulled out a stuffed sub-sandwich.

 

“Not a bad idea. I've been wanting to try that place out for a while now.” Ele let her chopsticks hang just in front of her mouth.

 

“Yeah then we can hit the arcade!” Andrew laughed and high-fived Kai from across the table. Ele and Colline looked at each other meaningfully.

 

“Men.” They sighed simultaneously. Laughing a moment after they said it.

 

“Ok, then shall we say . . .8:30 tomorrow morning?” Chris finished his thermos of chicken soup with one last swallow.

 

“Kick it!” Everyone spoke at the same time, it being their group's motto of sorts, and tapped fists simultaneously.

 

 

* * *

 

 

Elessa glanced at her watch, her foot tapping impatiently on the tiled floor of the mall. They were definitely late. What could be taking them so long to get there? It wasn't like it was that hard to find, it had a big enough banner after all.

 

9:30. She checked it one more time. Ok, now she was angry. They had all agreed to meet here so what was the problem?! How could they ditch her like this?!

 

Defeated, Ele ordered an iced frappachino with whipped creme' and sat at a table. She couldn't help but wonder why her friends would do something so mean as to ditch her. It really hurt to think that they would do such a thing.

 

Stirring her drink with her straw, the audible slushing of the drink calming her nerves. At first she had been glad that everyone could get together for the weekend, but now. Now she was lonely and just a little upset. It wasn't fun without the others. Bringing her hand up to her eyes, her necklace clinking as she moved, she rubbed her eyes through the eyelids with her index and thumb.

 

'I will not cry! They must have a good reason for not being here.' She thought to herself. As if the day could get any worse. It seemed like nothing would go right. Her alarm woke her up late, no one was home when she got up, and now her friends hadn't shown up.

 

'Well so much for a nice day. Maybe I'll just go check out the book store and see if my book's in.' Ele thought while stretching in her seat. It didn't have to be a complete waste of time, and she could find out what had happened to the others later.

 

With a small sigh she got up and took her drink to leave the cafe'. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a beam of light just outside the window of the coffee shop. It was an interesting shade, nearly the same as her eyes, except her eyes were more blue then white and the light was more white then blue. She glanced around but it didn't seem like any one else was seeing the strange light.

 

It was eerily familiar, that light. But she couldn't put a finger on it. Where and how had she seen this light before? She had a feeling that she had been very small, perhaps barely able to walk even.

 

A mental picture of her older brother placing his goggles around her neck suddenly flooded her mind and senses. It was there then gone in a flash.

 

Without thinking, Elessa ran to the stairs, jumped over the railing, twisted then hit the floor at a dead run as she proceeded out of the exit on the first floor. Somehow, she didn't know why but - she had to get outside and to that light. It was almost an unconscious compulsory reaction.

 

But no sooner had she flung herself though the door then something knocked her over the head, causing her to black out.

 

“Ele? . . . Ele wake up!” Someone shaking her while calling her name finally brought her back to reality. Her eyes fluttered open to find her friends hovering over her with concerned faces. There was something not quite right . . . she couldn't pin it down but it was there.

 

“Finally! You're awake!” Two sets of silver flaked blue eyes appeared above her head. She blinked at what looked to be two puppies, only . . . she could've sworn she had just seen them talk.

 

“Ele, are you ok?” The black one asked quietly, the hematite cross on her collar tinkling against the metal claspings. Her tiny wings beat twice in anxiety when she didn't respond right away, the worry reflected clearly in her large eyes.

 

“You're not hurt are you mine?” The white one put a paw on the girl's forehead. That did it, Elessa jumped up and scooted away from the talking puppies. Her breathing was erratic and her heart felt ready to pop out of her chest.

 

“Easy Ele, you'll scare them.” Colline laughed gently, trying to calm her friend down.

 

“Can we say 'Delayed reaction'?” Kai was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes. That earned him a bag square in the face. Ele glared a death glare at him then blinked as she noticed each of them holding a strange creature just like the puppies.

 

“I think she'll be alright.” The white-ish thing with rows of sharp teeth Kai was holding smiled up at the boy. Kai picked up Ele's bag and handed it back to the speechless girl.

 

“It's ok Ele, their friends.” He grinned, holding out his hand to help her up. She took the offered hand, quizzically looking at the creature in his other arm.

 

“I'm Tokomon, nice to meet you!” The thing replied in a very friendly tone. The others joined them, creating a semi-circle around her.

 

“See? They're friendly. This one is Yokomon, isn't she cute?” Colline held out the pink thing she was holding.

 

“And this is Koromon.” Chris grinned, his pink blob grinning along with him.

 

“Well, that leaves me and Kokomon.” Andrew held his with both arms, smiling down at his new friend.

 

“What are these things?” Ele reaches forward and prodded the Koromon with her index finger.

 

“We're digimon, digital monsters.” They all chimed cheerfully.

 

“Ok . . . so-wait, does that mean we're in some kind of digital world? Like inside a computer or something?” She blinked in confusion, again she had that feeling of familiarity about the place.

 

“We call it the Digiworld, and we've been waiting a long time for you guys to get here.” The white puppy spoke from Elessa's feet.

 

“Hm, how did Ele end up with two? You know, they sort of look like those little angel and devils you see on someone's shoulder in those cartoons.” Kai laughed quietly, noticing that the puppy like digimon stood to either side of Ele and indeed created such a picture.

 

“Huh. Wait, you mean these two are mine?” Her eyes bulged for a moment as she pointed at herself. The group couldn't stop themselves from laughing.

 

“Yes, we're your digimon partners! We're twins so we came as a set.” The black one smiled happily as she explained. “You can be so silly mine.” She giggled merrily.

 

“Uh, ok . . . so what are your names?” Elessa crouched down to look at them closer.

 

“I'm HolySalamon.” The black one smiled, jumping to Ele's shoulder.

 

“And I'm SnowSalamon.” The white one grinned and was then picked up by Ele.

 

“Hm, Demi and Snow.” Elessa grinned, giving her digimon nick names so it would be easier to remember. “You know what, you two are pretty cute.” She giggled, cuddling Snow while rubbing her cheek against the puppy like digimon's.

 

“Ok ok, enough with the sugary sweetness. We've got a problem.” Kai commented seriously.

 

“What's that?” Collin and Chris asked together. The other two turned their attentions to Kai, being serious meant they were in trouble.

 

“What do you do now?” He looked them in the eyes, the question hanging in the air like a tangible thing they could almost touch.
