"It feels so weird not having a tail..." a young man with black hair said, walking down through the streets of Shibuya as he waved his hand back and forth behind his butt, as if he were trying to grab his tail that didn't exist.
"Please stop doing that, you'll embarrass yourself if someone sees you," an identical looking young man said was he walked up next to the first. This one was clearly more of the serious type than his brother appeared to be.
"Oh, right... it probably looked like I was trying to... yeah. Sorry, Psych."
"It's Kaoru when we're in holosuits. Don't forget that. And remember, you go by Hikaru while in this form."
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna forget. Hikaru and Kaoru Ito... it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
In case you haven't figured it out yet, Hikaru and Kaoru Ito were actually Speed and Psych, twin brothers who are Flamedramon variants hailing from AEGIS: Speed being gifted with super-speed related abilities, and Psych with psychic prowess. After Psych had returned from an incident involving a certain maniac, he and Speed had been talking and planning to go to school that upcoming school year. With support from their friends at AEGIS HQ, the both of them had successfully been enrolled as first years at Shibuya Academy, with the names Hikaru and Kaoru Ito, taking inspiration from the birth names their mother had originally given them.
Now that the twins were in school... they had to make it there on time! And that gave Speed an idea... "Bet I can get to the school before you can!" he said with a cocky grin before dashing off... albeit at a more human level than he was used to.
"Hikaru, now wait a moment-" Psych tried to say, but Speed had already began going. Letting out a sigh, Psych had no choice but to start running as well in order to catch up to his brother. While Speed was definitely still the faster one of the two, even as humans, Psych would at least make sure his second-place position would be anything but distant!

Meanwhile a teen girl had also begun her journey to school. Kima sighed as she headed to the school as she would rather be in the Digital World on her mystic journey than face the bullies at the high school that tormented her throughout her life just because she wasn't fully Japanese like most of them. Sure such a reason seemed childish and stupid but it seemed even as high schoolers her classmates had never picked up on that. She looked down at the necklace around her neck running her hand gently over it before gathering her strength. She could do this.
Approaching the school the teen heard footsteps coming fast behind her causing her to spin around on her heel seeing what looked like two teen boys dashing her way with one moving faster than the other. Moving as fast as she could she squeaked in alarm realizing it would not be fast enough as the faster male crashed into her causing Kima to hit the ground falling on her knees her dropping the various school related things in her hands. Not only that her Xros Loader had fallen out of her pocket. Retrieving that first she stuffed it back in her pocket before beginning to pick up her binder and the books she was carrying. 'Great. Already off to a good start and I haven't even came across my bullies yet.' Kima thought sarcastically as she continued picking up her things. At least she didn't seem to be hurt from her fall so she took that as a small blessing.

'So this be the human world, can't say I be too much of a fan.' A voice only Clayton could hear echoed out for a moment, Apparently, he could see stuff through Clayton's eyes if he wanted which was very weird and definitely something he wouldn't be able to get used to. 'My senses be dull as well, I shall be counting on ya Clay my boy to guide us around.' Whatever that meant.
'Just heading to school Captain, your senses probably won't be needed, Should be prefectly fine.' After all the stuff Clayton had been getting involved with, he was more than ready for just a nice normal day at school, well as normal as you can get with a pirate sharing the same headspace as you but at this point Clayton would take it.
On his usual walk to school nothing seemed to happen, that is until he noticed ahead of himself some dude seemingly attempting to smack his own butt while walking next to someone who looked pretty similar to them. Clayton was behind the two of them so not noticing them was an impossibility.
However, that turned out to be a good thing as one thing he did notice was a girl had been knocked onto the ground. Quickly Clayton rushed forward a bit. "Hey, you okay?" He asked quickly doing what he could to help, picking up some of the supplies she dropped Failing to notice the Xros Loader she had already stuffed in her pocket.

Clearly Speed needed to watch where he was going from here on out. Because he was so focused on just beating his brother to school, something he doesn't even have to try to do when he's in his usual form, he was too preoccupied to watch out for any incoming humans, like this one other schoolgirl that just suddenly appeared in front of him. Despite his best efforts to stop, Speed was ultimately unable to, screaming at the same time as the girl he just crashed into.
It was quite a wipeout. Both students had fallen to the ground, their school supplies scattered all throughout the place. As Psych caught up at the same time as this other student who was behind them, he noticed something interesting in the girl's possession: a Xros Loader. She's a Xros General... right? Psych unsurely though, considering how fragile this lady appeared to be. Psych was also surprised that he could still hear her thoughts, even when in holosuit...
Hopefully this wouldn't be troublesome for him.
Meanwhile, Speed had just recovered and took a good look at the situation that he helped create. "Oh crap, I am SO SORRY," he said as he immediately helped pick up the girl's stuff, though he seemed to be the only one to not notice the Xros Loader. "I was racing my brother to school, and you just came out of nowhere... I really need to watch where I'm going." He handed her the school supplies she dropped before asking, "You aren't hurt, are you?"

Kima's dark eyes focused on Clayton when he not only asked if she was okay but also was helping her pick up her things as if she was confused. That confused look didn't last long as another voice caught the fifteen year old's attention causing her to look up seeing two more young men staring at her and out of habit gained a wary look toward them wondering what they wanted. Could that one boy just want to apologize?
Deciding not to sit there like an idiot she nodded as she said "I'm okay. I should of been paying more attention to my surroundings." Kima then looked at the various supplies that had not been picked up and scooped them up in record time before rising to her feet and looking around. Her bullies didn't seem to be in sight so she took a deep breath taking what blessings she could get. Maybe these boys meant no harm but she couldn't help her lack of trust as she had even been picked on by kids that hadn't met her before. Was being as different as she was really so bad to others? She was still half Japanese so she didn't see why she was often teased for half of her heritage. This was something she had no control of.

Clayton's eye glanced up as he was picking up the supplies and noticed a wary look on the girls face. 'Clayton, Yee be scaring the lass.' The Captain joked, he ignored that cause he figured it probably wasn't him. Following her eyes and sure enough the kid that ran into her had come to help pick her stuff up as well.
"Yeah, probably best to look before ya dash, thankfully all seems to be good." Clayton mentioned as he handed the girl her supplies, if she got a better look at him now that he wasn't looking down and grabbing stuff it would be pretty apparent that Clayton was somewhat like her, not being full Japanese and even looking more American. "Nah you don't need to apologize, after all can't expect someone to come barreling down the street outta nowhere. Unless you woke up late or something!" Clayton joked with a small laugh before giving a wave.
"Name's Clayton Herron, most people just call me Clay though. Nice to meet you three, haven't seen you three around before. Did you guys just transfer or something?" He might've just missed Kima but he definitely doesn't remember seeing the pair of twins, considering he had an eidetic memory that was probably a clear sign, worst case scenario it was a decent conversation starter.

"Nah, I'm the one that has to be sorry" Speed said as he handed the girl her school supplies that he picked up, in response to her apologizing, "I was challenging my brother to a race to school. I got in the zone and I... forgot to watch where I was going or look out for people suddenly walking in front of me like you did. I swear, this kind of thing doesn't usually happen."
The other kid that walked up also commented on how it's probably for the best to look where you were going, not like Speed needed to be told that now. The girl seemed to be looking around for something or someone after she got up, which caught Psych's interest. "Are you expecting anyone, by any chance?" Psych asked her as he crossed his arms. While his powers weren't quite as prominent in holosuit, he could still sense that Kima was feeling somewhat scared... what's got her acting like this?
The other kid revealed his name to be Clayton Herron, asking if the three of them had just transferred to the school. "Oh, right, introductions! I, of course, am Hikaru Ito, and this is my twin brother, Kaoru Ito!"
"A pleasure to meet you," Psych said as he did a polite bow, "We're first year students, so today's our first day at high school. We're from another ward of Tokyo originally, before we moved here."
"Good luck guessing which one of is which, especially since we do pretty damn good impressions of each other!"
"It's like a me from another universe."
"Oh hey, we should probably get goin' to the school now. Wooooould either of you be willing to join us? Considering our race is clearly a safety hazard for anybody turning the corner, eheheheh..."

Though still wary it was obvious to Kima that those boys were confused by her. Maybe they meant no harm so it couldn't hurt to give them a fair chance to prove themselves. One of the boys introduced himself as Clayton or Clay for short while the twins introduced themselves as Hikaru and Kaoru.
Gathering the last of her stuff into her arms she, quietly at first, said "Kima, my name is Kima Aiuchi." Her surname was definitely Japanese though it was obvious her first name was not but since she looked as if she was only half Japanese so that made sense.
As she carefully got to her feet she listened to the interaction between the twin brothers and couldn't help but snicker a bit. Hikaru and Kaoru were starting to remind her of her partners with how they interacted with each other. It was obvious the pair got on one another's nerves which was probably a sibling thing though she didn't no much about it since she was an only child even though Shillan would act much like an older sibling despite being hotheaded.
"I'm a first year here too but I haven't seen you three here before. Did you guys recently transfer to this school or something?" Kima asked the confidence lacking girl soaking up whatever positive attention she could get. When mentioned they should get to school Kima merely nodded.

Well everything seemed to be fine now, no harm no foul. Kima, Hikaru and Kaoru, Clayton took a moment to memorize all the names and with a small nod to himself he had them all down. "Well glad to meet you all." Then the girl Kima seemed to ask the exact same question that Clayton had just asked. "Huh? Nah I've lived here my whole life. Ahh right my dad's from America and I look a lot more like him then my mom. I get that question a lot." He didn't know if that was why or not but hey best to cover all bases.
'Hmm, Clay me boy. What does this America be like?' the pirate asked distracting Clayton from the conversation at hand.
'Dunno, never been there myself. From what I hear those there's a lot of guns and freedom, whatever that means.'
'Hmm, sounds like my kind of place.'
Snapping back just in time to hear the request Clayton just nodded with a thumbs up. "Yeah I'll join ya, oh if you want I could even show you where the track and field club is, can get plenty of running done there. Heck I can even try racing you if you want. I'm more of a Kendo kid but I'm pretty fast myself." Clayton offered figuring it would be a good idea, at least sounded like a good idea.

Kima Aiuchi... her surname was Japanese, but her first name wasn't. It wasn't as if the twins could speak for themselves, since they were both using fake names in their human disguises, but even they could tell that much. Clayton mentioned that he had lived here all his life, even though he looked more like his American father than his seemingly Japanese native mother.
Hm? Were the twins transfer students? "In a way, yeah," Speed said. "We're from another ward of Japan, and we just moved to Shibuya very recently, so today's our first day in a Shibuya school."
"We're not very familiar with anyone in the area, aside from perhaps a couple of students we met before," Psych said, referring to Colin and Johan, who were both third years. "We would appreciate any help that the two of you are willing to give us." He noticed that Clayton seemed to be spacing out during the conversation... could he be daydreaming?
As the group walked to school, Clayton offered to Speed to show him where the track and field club was. "That's the club all about running, right? I absolutely love running, and racing. And I'll totally take you up on a race sometime. Maybe track and field could be my calling in school, huh, brother?"
"Indeed, it could be. There don't happen to be any intellectual clubs at this school, are there, Clayton?"
It wouldn't take much longer for the group to approach the Shibuya Academy campus, where hundreds of students just like them were also flooding in and making their way to class. Whoa, that's a lotta human kiddos, Speed thought to himself with a slight bit of anxiety, which Psych was able to sense.
"It's going to be okay, Hikaru," Psych said as he and Speed walked over to their shoeboxes. After changing into their indoor shoes, they would both make their way to their homeroom... which happened to be the same homeroom as both Kima and Clayton. There would still be time before class officially started, plenty of time to socialize until then!

With a much firmer grip on her stuff then earlier Kima quietly followed the boys as she said "I know a little about America as I have family there on my father's side." Then the subject of clubs came up and Kima looked down before she said "There are a bunch of different clubs both intellectual and athletic but I am not a part of any of them." Sure some of them did seem interesting to the teen girl but it seemed all her bullies were spread out amongst the clubs she found the most interesting so she stayed away from the clubs all together. Since she was bullied almost everyday at school she was happy to be nowhere near her tormentors.
Kima heard that Hikaru and Kaoru, whom she still had no idea were digimon, had transferred in from other school in Japan. She then said "I've always gone to a school in Shibuya so I don't know much about other parts of Japan." As the group switched to their indoor shoes Kima was uneasy but for a totally different reason than Speed was. Taking a deep breath after finishing putting on her indoor shoes she stepped inside the school.
Interestingly some of the girls seemed to be paying attention to someone she didn't recognize. He was a handsome teen with blonde hair and pale purple eyes. He seemed to be bobbing his head to a tune only he could hear but what made Kima do a double take was when he spoke while making his way around people as he said "Scuse meh. Pardon me. Can ya all just let me through?"
Kima knew that voice and inflection anywhere as she blinked before she, without realizing it, asked "Blaster?"

Ahh moving, Clayton didn't know firsthand what that was like but by hearing stories from his dad and mom it sounded like it was always a hard time. "Well, you know at least two people now so that's good. Though if anyone gives ya a hard time I'll help you guys out if you want. Some students can be jerks but you find those sorta folks anywhere you go. Just gotta try and ignore them, usually that works for me." Clayton couldn't say he had ever been bullied per say, people tended to steer clear of antagonizing him considering he usually walked around with a wooden bokken for practice.
"Running, throwing stuff, Jumping the whole nine yards. I don't know much about the people there but the people I do know seem friendly enough." For Kaoru's question. "Yeah there's a few, think there's a Shogi club and a book reading club last I remember. Those might but up your alley, heck I'd be up for a game." Was Clayton good at Shogi? No not at all, would he still play? Yes 100%.
Though for Kima there was a bit more to mention. "I have a lot of family there too but I don't see them too often, honestly you'd probably know more about America then I do. I'm pretty good at english though." She was also not part of any clubs it seemed. "Well if you ever get the urge to try the Kendo clubs always open, dunno if you'd be interested but it's a good way to get active. The people there are a little intense sometimes but they're nice enough."
Finally it was time for school, following suit after the other two Clayton was a bit surprised he had the same homeroom, wonder why he didn't recognize Kima then? Though thinking on it he had been pretty emotionally absent for about a year so that might check out. Sitting down in his seat he heard Kima speak up, something about a Blaster? "Who's blasting what?"
'Blast, enemy fire! Clayton spi-'
'Not that kind of blast shut up captain.'

The part Clayton said about some students being jerks hit a bit too close to home with Speed and Psych. Growing up in the Village of Beginnings back in the Digital World, they were subject to all kinds of torment, bullying and abuse. It brought up some bad memories for the pair... and surprisingly, Psych could sense that Kima was feeling a similar way to them when she mentioned she wasn't part of any clubs. Could she be dealing with her own bullies as well?
Clayton also offered to help the others out if they had any problems with students bothering them. "That would be most appreciated, Clayton," Psych said to him with a slight smile. "My brother and I both know what it's like to be bullied, so an extra friend or two to help with that would be wonderful."
On the topic of clubs, both Speed and Psych were pleased to hear that there were clubs that suited both their interests, even bringing up that there's a Shogi club and a book reading club. "Both those clubs sound perfect for myself."
"I'm gonna sign up for the running one!" Speed cheered, raising his fist into the air in excitement. He was really pumped up by this point about it!
America, huh? "Well, one of our friends actually is a transfer student from America. We don't know much about it ourselves, though." This was a half-truth. Psych didn't know much about America, but Speed had been there plenty of times, since he was one of the absolute fastest beings on the planet. Makes sense that he'd zip over to the United States from time to time... of course, Kima and Clayton didn't need to know that!
After Speed and Psych had changed into their indoor shoes, they didn't have much trouble finding their way back to their homeroom. They noticed Kima and Clayton, but no one else they really recognized. The twins simply decided to take their seats, with Speed sitting behind Psych in seats against the window. Speed was ready to daydream before class until he heard the name "Blaster." He looked up and saw some pretty boy speaking to Kima... who was this doofus? Was he... listening to imaginary music?
"Hm..."

While Clayton mentioned various clubs from physical and mentally stimulating ones she thought for the moment. Yes some of her bullies had spread out among some of the clubs but the worst ones were overdramatic whiny girls. However, after dealing with years of bullying Kima never could find the confidence to stand up for herself. "Kendo does sound interesting but I don't know...." she said sounding unsure of herself again. Then she turned towards the twin brothers when Psych, or rather Hikaru, mentioned being bullied before and she looked down before she said "I guess you read me like a book. Though I don't know how much help you can be since I have been bullied since I was a small child."
Then as the group had begun settling into their seats in homeroom the pretty boy seemed to hear Kima before he approached her before leaning down and whispered "Shh. Yeah it's me, Blaster, but when wonderin about in this form call me Tamaki."
Kima blinked in surprise at Blaster's choice for an alias that could mean jewel considering his love of dance or music. Still she kept her cool and quietly said "Okay, Tamaki."
Blaster smiled before moving his way over to an empty seat gracefully planting himself in said seat before digging out various school supplies one would need for class. It seemed the former nightclub DJ was trying to make a good first impression.

Clayton was thanked for offering his help, throwing his fist in his open palm Clayton smirked before adding. "No problem, me and Ca-" Stopping for a moment Clayton let out an awkward laugh before finishing. "I won't let anyone get bullied under my watch, you can count on me." He was too used to having his sister on his six when it came to stuff like that, though he's alone he still has to try no matter what. "If you're bullied that much Kima then maybe you should go to a teacher or principal, if it's since you were a child then maybe something more drastic needs to be done about this." Clayton felt like he had to offer some ways to go about this, anything was better than just letting it happen right?
"I've heard stories bout America but I've never been, my parents go there often though for work apparently, it's actually how my mom met my dad." Then they came here, which would help explain why Clayton looked more American then a normal student around here and wasn't just because he was a self insert of some white dude on a digimon site. Ignore that thought for now it was time for class.
Apparently, nothing was getting blasted, so Clayton did what he always did in class, Vaguely paid attention and let his Eidetic memory remember almost everything he was learning, which was way too effective of a learning mechanism then he felt it should be!
