Long Time, No See

Escape

I hate them, I hate them so much it hurt. This was the sixth house this year and they were just like everyone else, horrible, evil, kid-haters. I had to get out of here and soon but Namida won't come with me, and then they'd take it out on her, I can't let that happen. *buzz buzz* I heard my phone vibrate next to me.

"Would you like to start? yes or no"

It read. Yes, I clicked without hesitation.

"Tsukiko Haru, it is time to decide your future. Your destiny is calling," said a firm female voice, "take the five forty-five Shibuya bound train from Jiyuugaoka Station."

This was my chance and I was taking it, no matter what. I opened up my large bedroom window, threw out my survival bag. I looked back at my room, purple walls and random furniture scattered throughout the room. "I'm sorry Namida." I whispered, then turned and jumped. I grabbed the bag and started running the train station was only about five minutes away but it was already 5:36, by the time I got my ticket and got on, the train would be taking off. As I got there I grabbed a ticket, then heard a large thud behind me, some kid was banging his head on the ticket machine. 'No time' I reminded myself. I turned on my heels and started flying through the crowd to get to the train. I got on just in time. *buzz buzz* my phone rang. I dug it out of my bag.

"Get to Shibuya station by 6, then take the elevator to the basement." said the voice.

I shove my phone into my pocket as I got off the train and straight on one of the two elevators. As soon as I got on, the elevator started moving at what felt like a million miles a minute. I was literally suspended in midair for a couple of seconds before the elevator stopped and I landed on my knees. I got up and kept moving and ended up getting on a pale blue train. I moved forward to the first cart. I was the only one in my cart so decided to lay down. A little bit later it starts moving, I dig out a blanket and my heavy jacket for a pillow. I turn towards the seat and close my eyes, it was going to be a long night.

----------------

I wake up to a very bumpy ride, I try to sit up but get thrown back on the ground. I get flung up in the air and let out a scream. My lower back connects with the edge of the seat as I come back down and let out a low moan. Thats when something starts to appear around me. It looks like a suit of armor. Its purple, yellow, black, and icy blue. It disappears just as quickly as it appears. I felt something start to move and shift in my pocket, I reached in and pulled out a purple, yellow, and ice blue device out with a few buttons and a small screen. 'How did that get there, and where did my phone go?' "Welcome to the Digi-World, this is your digi-vice, you are Digi-Destined." The thing said, I stared at the thing for minute before I remembered my phone. I shoved it back in my pocket and started digging around in my bag looking for it. With no luck, I tried to get back up using the side of the seat but as soon as I did the train made an abrupt stop and I grabbed the blanket but fell right back on my butt. I slowly crept my way up and looked out the window, I was at a station and had to get off. I stuffed everything back in my bag and went out the door. It slammed behind me, I looked around and took in my surroundings. I was about to leave when I heard another door slam from the train, I guess I wasn't alone after all. I turned and stumbled backwards. 'It couldn't be, I haven't seen him in 7 years,' I thought, 'It couldn't be possible, what are the odds of us getting the same message, getting on the same train, and not seeing each other at all? Pretty good apparently, but we always did think alike. So, could it really be him?'

**************

I got off the train after the bazaar ride and just before I was about to leave, I heard footsteps stumble. I looked towards it and saw her staring at me. I stared at her to, the more I looked at her the more I recognized her hair, her delicate figure, and then her startling eyes. I remember her from so long ago, but how could it be. We couldn't both have gone to the same place, let alone the same area after she moved. I walked over to her and gave her my hand to help her up. As I did, I looked dead in her eyes and knew, with out a doubt, it was her.
