The sound of his pencil falling to the floor instantly snapped Kai out of his stupor. Outside his window, the sun beat down on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Stretching a little, he bent over to retrieve his writing utensil.
“OW!”
The boy pulled his hand out, after a sudden pain struck his index finger. Looking closer, he could see two small dots of blood beginning to well up. Wiping the blood off, he pulled back, so he could look for whatever sharp object it was that he had cut himself on. Surprisingly, though, there was nothing under his desk but the fallen pencil, which he retrieved. As he started to pull himself up, Kai was startled by a pair of large, white eyes staring straight at him.
“Feed me!”
“What?” the boy choked out, so surprised by the fact that the creature could talk, that he barely understood what it meant.
“I’m hungry. You’re my human, so feed me!” chirped the creature at him, in an entirely matter-of-fact tone. When Kai failed to respond, he continued, “Sis said that if I marked a human, he would become mine, and feed me!”
The only response Kai could muster was to repeat incredulously, “Sis?” He was answered by another creature, a black one, dropping from the rafters to his desk. At this point, he didn’t even bother asking where they had come from- None of this made any sense, in the first place.
“What ARE you?” The boy finally managed to blurt out the question that had been sitting at the tip of his tongue.
The white one responded first. “I’m Kokkurimon!” it exclaimed. “I, too, am Kokkurimon,” the black one added. “That… Doesn’t tell me anything.” He paused for a second, thinking. “Okay, I need to call you two something, and calling you both Kokkurimon would get way too confusing. I’ll call you,” He pointed to the larger, white creature, “Shiro. And you,” He pointed to the black one “Will be Kuro.”
While Shiro immediately reacted to his new name with an excited “Shiro! Shiro! Feed Shiro!” the other, who Shiro had called his sister, seemed to mull the name over before saying “I suppose… That Kuro is acceptable.” That seemed to fix one problem, at least. “And what shall we call you?” queried the black creature. “Oh! I’m… My name is Kai.”
After a moment of silence, Shiro broke in with, “Will you feed me now?” Kai sighed, but he supposed that he probably should, before his parents heard him talking and began to wonder who he was talking to. What do these things eat, anyways? Somehow, he doubted that the cup ramen which was the only thing he could reliably cook would sit well with them. His best bet, he decided, was to take out some fast food and hope that these things liked overprocessed chicken nuggets as much as people did. After all, he could hardly go to his mother and say “Hey mom, could you make a quick meal for these two little monsters I found?”
He rummaged around for his school bag. Finding it, he removed several books to make room. “Get in here,” he told the two Kokkurimon, “I’ll get you food, just don’t talk, and absolutely do not let anyone see you.” He was surprised to find that Kuro and Shiro actually obeyed him. With any luck, he could get this over with quickly, and get back to studying. Exams were coming up, after all, and he really wanted to take the top spot in them. Not that I deserve it, he thought sullenly to himself.
He was almost to the restaurant, when he heard a soft call of “Kai” emanate from his backpack. He sighed. Is it so hard to remember two simple directions? I hope this is important. He really hoped that neither of them had taken a dump in his school backpack. “What?” he hissed back.
“I thought you might like to know… That Shiro’s heading that way.” Kuro nodded her head behind them, where, surely enough, Shiro was plodding along, completely forgetting that he had been told to stay out of sight.
As Kai turned to chase after him, he thought, This…. Is going to be a long day.

Yui was walking with the twins again, this time taking them to cat street. They were chuckling as they walked, Yui really did like having them around. Pop was busy eating some chips Yui got him, while Loli enjoyed taking in the sights. Yui stopped and waved for the twins to follow her as she sat down. "Okay so...I was thinking that we would go back to the digital world soon again, I wanted to try and explore some more now that you two have gotten stronger. What do you think?" she said as the two looked at her. Since Pop was still chewing, Loli went first. "Sounds like a good idea. I mean we don't remember much about the digital world anyways so I am looking forward to seeing more." she said with a smile. As she finished, Pop swallowed and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "I am up for that! Maybe we can beat some bad digimon butt!" he said, rubbing his hands together. Yui chuckled and shook her head. "Now Pop, we don't go looking for fights. You know that." Yui said, shaking her finger at him. "Yah I know but I mean come on! We never get to. I am just itching to try some stuff out!" he said as Yui sighed. Suddenly however, something white went bouncing past them. Was that... "Is that a..." before Yui could even finish Loli rushed past and nearly jumped to try and catch, and cover, the digimon. "What are you thinking!? Hide!" she whispered urgently to the digimon as Yui and Pop caught up. Who's was it? Was it a wild one?

The tiny white fluffball squirmed under his captor. “Let go of me!” He squeeked “Let go!” Who was this person, to demand that he hide himself? He was Shiro! Kai had named him that! Shiro did not hide like a coward!
As Kai chased after the little white rascal, he knew it had been too much to hope that no-one would see him. He just hoped that Shiro would have the sense not to open his mouth. If they didn’t hear the thing speak, after all, he could probably explain it as a rare breed of something or other? Somehow, he seriously doubted that anyone would buy that after a look at Shiro. Why do I even care, anyways? Sure, a talking rodent would probably cause some panic, but he would it really be that big of a deal?
“Umm… Excuse me,” Kai began hesitantly. He was interrupted, however, by the black thing in his bag. Kuro tumbled out of his bag, snarling at the young girl who had captured her brother. “Get off of him! Right now!” She snarled.
Kai slapped his hand over his face, wondering how this could possibly get any worse.

"Quiet!" Loli argued, keeping her hold on the digimon. They needed to move. Pop was there quickly and cut off the other one. "Don't talk to my sister that way. She's actually helping despite the fact you two clearly don't think." he said, as Yui ran up to the human that seemed to be linked with them. She had noticed the black one come from his bag. "Are these two yours?" she asked, glancing to the smaller digimon being grappled by her two, woh appeared human. "Follow." Yui said, as she started to talk to an alley. Loli would pull Shiro along, despite his protest and Pop would follow the black one, should she follow her brother. Once in the alley Yui would turn to Kai, if he followed. "You aren't doing a very good job at keeping them under control...are you?" she questioned, wondering what would happen if she hadn't shown up.

Kai was taken aback by the fact that the girl, who appeared to be around his age, didn’t seem at all fazed by Kuro talking. “M-Mine? N-n-no, I…” the boy stammered out.
“I said, let go of him!” Kuro cried, chasing after the young girl who was carrying off her brother. As the girl followed them, Kai considered just leaving and letting her take care of them. She, at least, seemed to know a lot more about them than he did. He brushed the thought aside, how could he even consider pushing his problems onto someone else? He followed her into the alley.
“Keeping them under control! I don’t even know what they are! They just showed up, demanding that I feed them!” Kai vented all his frustrations at once. Shiro piped in, markedly less helpful than he thought he was being, “I’m Kokkurimon!” Kai pointedly ignored him.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t get angry with you, it’s not your fault. I just have no idea what’s going on, and I think I might be going insane.”

Loli dropped Shiro when she reached the alley and walked over to Yui, followed by Pop. They had ignored Kuro when she yelled at them.. Yui sighed and shook her head. "I see. I guess you are a new tamer." she said scratching her head for a moment. "Well...sorry to say you don't get to pick when you are a tamer. It just happens. And it needs to be kept a secret so you two." she said glancing at the two little puff balls. "Had best learn to stay quiet and out of sight. If you were seen by anyone else you would be taken away from him for good. Is that something you want?" she said to them. Yui turned to her twins and nodded, as Loli brought her hand up to her choker, and Pop to his bracelet. At once the images of the blonde twins faded, and what was left were two rabbit like creatures. A Lopmon and a Terriermon. "These are my digimon. Loli.." "Nice to meet you" the Lopmon said with a curtsie. "..and Pop." she said, motioning to Pop. "Hey!" he said, waving an ear at Kai.

Freed from his captor, Shiro ran straight for Kai. After a moment of looking the three humans who had taken him captive up and down, he puffed out his chest, adopting an air of total confidence. After all, clearly the only reason why they had caught him was attacking by surprise, and had they not let him go, he would have broken free with ease.
The release of her brother assuaged Kuro’s wrath, but she still eyed the small human girl distrustfully. She stalked back to Kai as well, and started checking Shiro for wounds, to his obvious embarrassment.
Kai listened to the girl talk, but couldn’t help butting in with a question. “Wait… I’m missing something here. What is a ‘tamer?’”
Shiro tried to act unconcerned at the words of the larger human girl. His actual feelings, however, were written on his face. Kai was his human, and nobody was taking away his human without his permission! Kuro, on the other hand, actually took the time to answer. Holding her head high, she said “I wouldn’t, if it weren’t for this brother of mine sticking his head in every hole he comes across.” Kai himself asked, “Why would they be taken away?” He paused for a second, realizing what he was saying. “Scratch that, ‘Who’ would take them away?”
On any other day, seeing a pair of twins turn into… Whatever those were, would have taken all the strength out of Kai’s knees, and left him unceremoniously on the ground. After what had already happened today, though, he wasn’t sure anything could surprise him anymore. “It is… nice? to meet you Loli, and you as well Pop. I’m Kai, Kai Haimura. These two are… Well, they both introduced themselves as ‘Kokkurimon,’ so I’m calling them Kuro and Shiro for now. Not very creative, I know. Also… if you don’t mind me asking so many questions, what is a digimon?”

Pop simply rolled his eyes at the little digimon's reaction to being let go, and Loli didn't pay it much heed. They were just babies after all, they didn't know any better. But they would need to learn sooner rather than later. They knew that he couldn't do any actual harm to them, so they didn't take his aggressive posture seriously. Yui smiled at Kai's question before answering. "In all honestly I am not 100% sure on that, just that some humans end up with digimon partners. Or I guess as being digimon...long story, ignore that part. Anyhow, why we have them I haven't the slighest clue. No obvious reason has popped up in the time I have been with these two." she said, as Loli leaped into the air and glided onto Yui's head with a smile. "But I don't much mind. I like having them around." she said, glancing again at the smaller pair. He was only the second person she has met with twins, it didn't seem nearly as common as with solo digimon. "Well it's up to you to keep your brother in check." Loli said, talking from experience. Pop had a habit of...getting into trouble and being fairly noisy. The holo-suits made that job easier but Loli was constantly keeping her brother quiet before they had them. "Hey I never needed to be kept in check!" Pop said, crossing his arms. "Yah...sure. Let's go with that." said Loli with a chuckle. "No more bickering youtwo. You know better." said Yui, nodding as Kai introduced himself. "Yui Kimura. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Loli and Pop got their names because when I first hatched them, they digivolved after eating lolipops I gave them. And the names just sort of fit." she said, smiling at Pop as she picked him up. "As far as what a digimon is...well that's a little tricky. They are digital monsters....they are built for fighting...other then that I am not certain. They evolve as they get stronger. Pop and Loli here have evolved twice since hatching, but have taken on stronger forms when fighting, but always revert back to this form." she said as Pop gave a big grin. "Yah, we are pretty awesome for sure." he said as Yui chuckled.

Kai listened to the girl’s explanation of tamers. He’d kind of hoped for more, since the girl seemed to know what was going on. Still, she knew way more than he did, just like everyone else. He couldn’t help but admit to being jealous of her obvious bond with the two creatures as… strange as they looked, with their ears the same size as their body.
“I try! But Shiro… Shiro does whatever he wants! He never thinks! I don’t think he even knows what consequences are!” The other digimon’s words were clearly upsetting Kuro. Shiro was upset too. “Of course I know what consequences are! They’re a fruit, right!”
Kuro just sighed, and said, “I rest my case.”
Kai smiled at the antics of the creatures, which he now knew were called ‘Digimon.’ “Nice to meet you, Yui.” The explanation of what a digimon was was just as vague as her explanation of a tamer, and the thought of the two fluffballs he knew being ‘built for fighting’ was, frankly, ridiculous. “Wait, they get bigger? Oh, how am I going to explain this to my parents.” He groaned.
He remembered what they were there for. “Oh yeah, what do digimon eat? I came out with them because Shiro kept saying he was hungry, and I didn’t think cup ramen was appropriate.”

Yui looked at Shiro, as Pop jumped from her arms and walked over to him, placing his ear on Shiro's head. "It's when something you do, ends up making something bad happen because of it. Like if you were to run in the street and get hit by a car. That's a consequence." he said before letting go and walking back to Yui. "A bit dark but, that is the general idea." said Yui, scratching her head. "Anyways, so yah sorry I don't know more but in all honesty, even though it's been like...a month or so not much has happened so I really don't know why we have our digimon, or why some are chosen or how. Just that it happens." she said with a shrug. When he mentioned being worried about his parents, she thought for a moment. "Well, your best bet is to teach them to act like toys and sneak them in. But they have to learn to be quiet." Yui said, glancing at the two. Loli and Pop still pretend to be toys at home, since she can't really convince her parents they are her cousins as easily as she can with friends or passerbys. "Don't worry. We eat what you eat!" Loli chimed in at his food question as Pop nodded. "Yah! Yui has gotten us so many foods! I think my favorite's the ice cream." he said, licking his lips.

“ I knew that!” The white Kokkurimon replied indignantly, even though he’d had no clue. “Besides, I’d like to meet the car that could hit me!" He didn’t know what a car was either, but with a name like that, how strong could it be?
“Alright, I’ll figure something out, I guess.” Of course, if he could afford toys, he wouldn’t have nearly as much trouble hiding these two. He just didn’t feel the need to explain his family’s finances to a stranger. Speaking of which, how was he going to afford to feed these two?
“I suppose I’ll go with my original plan of grabbing some fast food take out, then” Kai responded, at the same time as Shiro piped up “Ice cream? What’s that? Can I have some?” Kai sighed. Ice cream sounded good, but he knew exactly what he could afford, and ice cream wasn’t in the budget. He really needed to get a job, but he was already pressed for time between club activities and studying. “Sorry Shiro, maybe another time.” He turned to Yui. “I should probably go feed them, before Shiro decides it’d be easier to eat me than to wait for food. Thanks for the explanations. At least, now I know that I’m not just going crazy.” Until he met Yui, he’d been half convinced that the two creatures were nothing more than a figment of his imagination.

Pop let out a laugh. "Yah well, I guess if you get hit by a car and get turned into data it's not really my problem. But just so you know, it's a big metal thing that makes noises and has four wheels. It's not alive so don't bother trying to fight it." he said shaking his head. Of course he woudln't have been so cocky when he first came to the human world, but now he's been here long enough he can't help but feel kind of good about being the one who knows more. "These two usually eat ramen, or whatever left overs from dinner at home. When we are out I get them snacks but they don't eat too much unless they are digivolving. That seems to make them get hungry. Other than that it shouldn't be too bad feeding them." Yui's family was upper middle class, so she wasn't usually too worried about money. And she did little jobs here and there to earn her own money when she needs it. But her family can afford for her mother to be a stay at home mom. "Okay well, here. This is my number." Yui said, writing it down on an old reciept in her pocket and handing it to him. "If you have any questions feel free to call. And next time I head to the digital world you are free to tag along...oh right there is another world they come from. Long story short, yah it's another world...I am not very good at explaining things sorry." Yui said, scratching her head as she chuckled. "Anyways we should get going to." Yui said, as Loli hopped off her head and the twins reactivated their holo-suits, once again appearing as the blond twins. "Good luck, let me know if you need anything." Yui said, as she got ready to leave.

Kai took the girl's number."Thanks, I'll, uhh, see you then?" Of course these two were from another world, it made about as much sense as anything else that had happened today! Corralling Kuro and Shiro into his bag, he adjusted his glasses and told them, "Come on, you two. Let's get you something to eat." With a last nod of goodbye to Yui, Kai stepped out of the alley, and back on track to the fast food chain.
