A/N: Don't own Naruto or Digimon, and well, I don't own the song at the end of this story. It's called Somewhere, can't remember who sings it, but they own it. This story contains no sex, just plot.

Ready to slam his head into the human before him, Veemon clenched his fists. "Give me back KYUU!" The blond held his hands in front of himself, trying to dissuade the attack.

"Vee. Vee. Calm down. I'm... right here. This... is the true me. The Naruto Uzumaki me." Looking down, his own fists found themselves closed tightly, not truly wanting to let go-it would only mean the tangible earth around them didn't exist, and as such, this would have just disappeared.

Shaking his head again, the Digimon let tears start to water in his eyes. "No. You can't be him. You just can't! You aren't Kyuu."

Bending down to look at Veemon at eye level, Naruto sighed to himself, bringing the dragon's vision back to him. "Remember after I saved you from the cliff, I told you something. 'I'll never let that happen again as long as I'm with you.'" He smiled, kissing Veemon's cheek, though now it feel a bit weird-him being a human and all.

Those tears still fell from the blue Digimon's onyx eyes, though his vision seemed to soften. He remembered that Kyuumon was the only one who would have known that, but still he had some doubts. "You just.. You were the one that transported me!"

"No.. I'm not, Vee. I'm Kyuumon. I'm Kitsumon. I just... didn't want to tell you what my true form was-though I guess you see it now. I'll show you the seal if you want." Rolling up the crimson shirt, Naruto concentrated on summoning a tail behind him knowing that it would show the seal that stayed with him, no matter what form he took. As the seal began to appear, Veemon just stared; it was exactly like Kyuumon's, and like the Digi Egg.

He still couldn't believe it though. Kyuumon was a Digimon, and this kid-this Naruto was a human. Still, the facts were there, and even so, here was his lover, only different. "Kyuu, why?" His tears still fell, faster now. "Why are you a human?"

"Because, I was always a human, Vee. I wasn't from your world, and apparently I changed back when I came to this world." Though he would have explained more, Naruto was distracted by the blinking Digivice that he still held in his right hand. "Vee... What's going on?"

Both seemed entranced as they watched Naruto's Digi Egg flow up from the Digivice, and sparkle, before shining a yellow light around the device. Slowly, it changed it, letting crimson overtake the original blue-as well as morphing a bit more than it was. The light quickly disappeared, revealing the new Digivice that was in the blond's hand; one that was apparently meant for him in the long run. Naruto understood what that had meant-since they were in a new world, and he was human, with Davis nowhere in sight, Veemon was his partner now.

Again, this was something that only seemed to betray all the laws Veemon had thought existed in both the Digital World and even the Real World, but it was happening. "Kyuu, you're a trainer?"

"Apparently so." Naruto chuckled a bit, wrapping his hands around the blue Digimon tightly. "And I'm guessing I'm yours until we get back." Thinking for a moment, he let a small whisper pass by, "Though we're still lovers right?"

That blush crept back across Veemon's cheeks, before he nodded. "Good. Also, I'm Naruto, but if you want, you can still call me Kyuu. Just we don't need to explain why." Another light chuckle, before Naruto picked up his Digimon to hold him. "And well, I think we need to make you not noticed here-since it does look like a city. Same rules apply that Davis gave us, alright?"

Veemon nodded again, before they both went towards the roof entrance near them. Though there were on a balcony in Davis' and Veemon's world, here they had arrived upon a roof of a building. A building they would get to know a lot better than they would like. "Guess it's off we go, to find out where we are."

Takato walked towards the park-going there everyday after school was a natural habit for him. Not because he wanted to play there, but because he had to meet up with his partner, Guilmon. "Guilmon? Guilmon?"

"Takatomon?" The familiar voice made him smile as he got closer to where his partner called home. After hearing his trainer's call, the dragon Digimon ran out of the cave-like tunnel, tackling Takato happily. "You're back!"

Takato laughed, nodding. "Yeah, Guilmon, I am."

"Are you sure you know where you're going, Kyuu?" A low voice spoke behind both of them, causing the brunette to freeze up.

A light sigh before, "Vee, just calm down. We need to look around alright? Now be quiet, before people think you aren't just a toy."

"Aww." But the voice complied, going silent. Takato quickly pushed Guilmon up before leading him back into the tunnel.

"Wait here, Guilmon, I need to check something out." His trainer spoke cautiously, before slinking out of the tunnel.

Naruto walked up the stretch of steps, sighing to himself as he carried Veemon, letting his Digivice show nonchalantly. Humming a tune from his own world, the blond really wasn't worried about meeting anyone, since he had already figured out that most of the people here were humans. Doubting that there were any Digimon around, he had to make sure that Veemon wouldn't be found out.

Taking in the sight around him, Naruto could only sigh happily. It was like he was back at Konoha, with the light forest patch he walked in, until the paradise was shattered by a voice in front of him. "Hey! Who are you?"

Shocked out of his trance, Naruto winced. "Naruto, but who wants to know?" Veemon had almost given away his little secret by wanting to itch his nose, but remained still.

"Takato." Eyeing the boy up, Takato took in what he needed too, until his eyes set upon the Digivice. It didn't exactly look like his own, but it was close. "What's that?" He pointed to it.

Biting his lip, Naruto spoke up once more, "It's.. a device I got from a friend, why you care?"

"Because, it looks like a Digivice."

With eyes going wide, the blond tried to direct Takato away from that. "N-No it's not. It's just a little watch thing." Spinning around, Naruto just wanted to get away from the other boy.

Putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder, Takato sighed to himself. "You're another digidestined, aren't you? I heard you speaking to someone, and most likely it's that Digimon in your hands."

Feeling finally defeated, Naruto nodded. "I'm... not exactly a digidestined, but this is a Digimon. It's Davis' partner; he's just with me for this one little trek."

"D-Davis? Davis Motomiya?"

Naruto blinked a few times, before turning himself towards Takato once more. "Yes. That's him."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" Poking the blue Digimon, the boy was ecstatic. "And he's Veemon, right?"

Wrinkling his nose slightly, Veemon nodded. "Yeah. How'd you know?"

So happy he couldn't really contain himself, Takato nearly screamed at both of them. "You and him were on TV here! I watched every show! With the Digimon Emperor and Arukenimon and the Dark Spores. I can't believe you are actually here!"

Veemon winced at the loudness that the boy before both him and Naruto expelled-it hurt his ears more than anything. "Calm down, Takato was it? You can't just be shouting around about all this." Though most of what Takato had said went over his head, at least Veemon did understand the boy's excitement.

Nodding to him, Takato took a better look at Naruto, "Though, you were never in the shows. Are you sure you're a trainer?" He blinked a few times before squinting. "You look familiar though, maybe I know you from somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on it."

"Takatomon?" Guilmon didn't want to be quiet anymore, and crept out of the tunnel. "Who are you talking to?"

"Veemon and Naruto, Guilmon. It's alright, they're like us." Sniffing a bit, the Digimon smelt the both of them, before licking Veemon.

Naruto pushed the other dragon Digimon away from his lover, more out of jealousy than anything. "Hey, stop that. You can't go around licking people." The blond muttered.

Takato laughed a bit, placing his hand on Guilmon. "Don't worry. He'll stop, won't you Guilmon?" The red Digimon whined, but nodded, still giving them both looks. "Though I can't wait to tell Henry and Rika about you, Veemon-Wait! I want to see your Digivice! I want to make sure you are the Veemon Davis Motomiya had."

The blond really didn't think anything of it, placing Veemon down before unclipping the Digivice from his belt to hold out towards Takato. "What do you want to check?"

Grabbing it immediately, Takato pressed a few bottons, before seeing both Digi Eggs that Davis had. "Just looking at your Digi Eggs. And they ARE the ones of Friendship and Courage." Quickly handing it back, Takato laughed nervously. "Sorry, just had to make sure that you weren't just a poser."

Naruto only shrugged, clipping it back to his belt before smiling down at Veemon. "Hey, you know where things are here? Cause we're lost." Reciprocating the nervous laugh, Naruto rubbed the back of his neck, before looking at the goggles Takato wore. "And where I might get a pair of those?" Since he had been given clothes, his hitae-ate had been lost in the transfer, and without wanting to really make a big deal about it, he'd settle for just a pair of goggles to sit upon his head.

"Uh, yeah sure. I'll help you find your way around here. Though, does that Digivice use cards, or are you still able to just digivolve from the eggs?"

He could only shrug back once more. "I really don't know. I'm still knew to all of this; but I'll learn quickly." Letting one of his hands settle upon Veemon's head, Naruto rubbed gently. "And Veemon will help me, won't he?" His Digimon nodded to him with a grand smile. "But, why do you ask about cards? Is that something you guys do?"

Takato nodded quickly. "Yeah, we use cards to modify our Digimon. But, I think we all need to get in the tunnel or go somewhere where we might not get caught. I'll call Henry and tell him to meet us there."

Thinking aloud, Veemon spoke up about his own world. "Don't you guys have D-Tectors?"

"No. But let's go, inside the tunnel. We can talk more."

Henry sat upon his bed, looking at his laptop, constantly typing, until his phone rang. Rushing over to it, he picked it up, to hear Takato's voice. "Henry. You gotta come down to the park. I think you should meet someone!"

"Whoa whoa whoa. Takato, calm down. What?"

"Just come down to the park where the digital portal was."

Sighing to himself, Henry quickly agreed-mostly to shut the other digidestined up. To him, he couldn't really stand it when Takato got hyper over something, but at least he didn't really need to worry about it all. "Alright, but why do you want Terriermon with me?"

"Because... just bring him." Not wanting to fight with his friend, Henry let it slid, letting the phone fall onto the receiver.

Holding out his hands for his digital partner, Henry quietly stated, "We're going to the park, remember the deal, alright?" Terriermon only nodded, giving him the quiet acceptance. Both slipping out the front door before Henry's sister caught them, the digidestined boy just let his own head try to stay afloat. What was the reason that Takato basically screamed at him over the phone-enough to really give him a headache. But for now, he understood. He needed to get to the park before anything could be answered.

Takato closed his cell phone, staring at the two before him. "He'll be here soon."

Not that much ecstatic, Naruto just gave a blank stare. "Alright, and we need to meet him why?" Being elbowed in the stomach by his lover in his arms made Naruto wince, "I mean, who is he? Another digidestined?"

The brunette nodded. "Henry and Rika are both like me. And they use cards-though I still can't believe my eyes." Still trying to pinpoint where he knew Naruto from, Takato quieted down, looking at the crimson dragon next to him.

"So, Kyuu. Are we going to be battling people here?" Naruto just chuckled, shrugging. "Oh. Well, I hope not. It would be weird if we did."

Naruto sighed, squeezing Veemon closer to him. "Don't worry Vee. We'll make a great team."

"I REMEMBER NOW! You're a ninja person. The show named after you!"

Blinking a few times, the blond had no idea what the hell Takato was talking about. He raised an eyebrow, "Show? What do you mean a show named after me?"

Takato only laughed at him. "Yeah, it's called Naruto. You're the drop out blond with the Kyuubi sea-" Immediately, Naruto covered the boy's mouth, whispering lightly.

"Don't you dare say any more."

The brunette went wide-eyed. He wasn't really used to someone trying to shut him up like that-though he sort of understood. Or at least told himself he did. Takato nodded, though, not wanting to see what would happen if Naruto got angry in his own world. Guessing it would mean a lot of things being destroyed, it was better to just let it go.

Slowly taking his hand off of Takato's mouth, the blond let out a long sigh. "Good. But, I never knew that I was a show." Grinning once more, Naruto laughed to himself. "Guess I'm just that good."

Takato scratched the inside of his ear. "Right. That's why Sasuke beat you in the Valley of the End."

Naruto truly growled at the boy, giving him a trademark Uchiha glare. "Shut the hell up." Veemon was totally confused at the exchange both of them were having, but he just sat happily in Naruto's arms. Right now, he was trying to get over the total confusion of having his lover really be a human, and himself being a Digimon. Of course he had fantasies with Davis and him, but he never really acted them out. It just seemed a bit wrong.

For now, as both men bickered between themselves, Veemon stared at Guilmon ,tilting his head. "You don't look like a Digimon I've seen, Guilmon."

"Takatomon created me. Me and Takatomon are really great friends!"

That was something the blue Digimon tried to wrap his head around once more. "Good friends?" No, he couldn't think that Takato and Guilmon were together, right? Yeah, it wouldn't have happened. Not that many people thought that way; surely he was one of the rare Digimon that like males, right?

With so much going on in his head, he almost missed what Guilmon was telling him-"Yeah, we play every day."

Nodding to the other Digimon, Veemon turned quiet, looking at the two trainers staring each other down. "You really are as aggravating as they portray you in your show." Takato finally stated, before looking down at Guilmon.

"Hey Takato! Why did you want me-oh, hi." Squeezing Terriermon in his hands, Henry looked at the new blond, before his eyes went down to what the blond was holding. "Digimon?"

Naruto grinned, totally ignoring the comment to him, "Yeah. That's one too, right?" He pointed to the one that Henry held.

Henry nodded to him, blinking a few times. "Takato, you wanted me to meet another digidestined?"

Shrugging slightly, Takato was a bit disheartened to find out truly about Veemon's trainer at the moment. "Yeah. This is Naruto Uzumaki, and he's got Davis' Digimon, Veemon. Can you believe it? The fact that Davis' Digimon is here. He wasn't just on a show, he exists!"

The other digidestined only sighed lightly. "Takato, will you calm down? Alright, we have Davis' Digimon here, but it doesn't mean that you should freak out. This just means that we'll have another digidestined with us to help in the Digital World."

Veemon perked up, "Digital World?" He looked up at Naruto, "Maybe we can get home through that, it just might be the same one of my world." Thinking a bit more, the blue Digimon came to the conclusion that through the Digital World, him and Naruto must have been transported here by that man.

Nodding to Veemon, Naruto chuckled slightly. "Well, I guess we'll help out a bit, though I don't know how much we can do."

"We can do a lot, Kyuu. Trust me."

Henry stared at the two exchanging words. "Kyuu? I thought his name was Naruto."

Both Naruto and Veemon froze up for a second, before the blond finally caught himself. "Well, it's my nickname from him. He's always called me Kyuu since I met him and Davis." Totally leaving out the fact that he was a Digimon for the time he had with both Veemon and Davis up to this point, Naruto felt it better to keep it that way.

Henry let it slide, only because Takato was called something by Guilmon. "Anyways, have you met Rika?"

Takato shook his head, "Doubt it. Else they would have said they met up with a bullying girl."

Naruto blinked a few times, "Er, well both of you are the first two people we both met here. Though we were trying to avoid anyone that we passed, just because of Veemon."

Understanding why it was because of Veemon, Henry smiled. "Well, since you are both new here, I think we can find you a place to stay."

Terriermon just smiled, wriggling out of his trainer's arms to go over to Veemon, who in turn did the same thing. Being held was alright, though he did want to walk around for a little while. "Hey. I'm Terriermon, you're Veemon? That's cool." His finger was already at his lips just a few moments, before leaving immediately.

The blue Digimon nodded, smiling contently. "Yeah. Nice to meet you."

Naruto looked at Takato once more, speaking to him after the moments of silence entwined with both of them. "Hey, you said you watched Veemon on TV, right? Did they digivolve other than the eggs?" He had to know, since he had managed to do it when he first arrived-without an egg no less.

He had to tilt his head to Naruto, confused himself. "Um, yeah. They DNA Digivolved as well as digivolving regularly. Don't you know anything about Digimon, Naruto?"

A nervous chuckled escaped the blond's lips. "Uh, not... totally. I've just been with them for about five months, that's it."

"Ahh, well they do. You should learn more about it-since it is relevant. Don't want to be a lead weight for us all."

Nodding to him, Naruto picked up Veemon again. "So, can we get me some goggles? I used to having something up there." Henry shrugged.

"Sure. I'll show you to shops. Hey Takato, why don't you find out if there are any places around here for the both of them to stay-if there aren't, they we should find out if they could stay with us till they find a place."

Takato really didn't like the idea of searching around, but right now, he'd rather try to make a big deal out of anything. Naruto did kind of ruin his buzz for the moment. "Yeah, whatever. Guilmon, remember, you need to stay here." The crimson Digimon nodded, though a whine was apparent in his actions. "I'll see you all later." He ran off towards the city, fixing his own goggles in the process.

"Guess first it's getting you some goggles, then seeing what you can do, eh Naruto?"

The blond nodded. "Yeah. I really want to know about this DNA Digivolving and such." It was more towards seeing if he could do it himself with the partner he had right now.

With them slipping back into the park and sitting down on the benches, Naruto fixed his new set of goggles. They weren't exactly like his first pair, or even like his hitae-ate, but they were alright for now. "So, you guys are tamers? Or at least that's what you call yourselves?"

Henry nodded, opening a candy bar for Terriermon to eat, as well as breaking off half of it to give to Veemon. "Yeah. We've always used modify cards to help our Digimon-where it's from a game in this world. But you guys, you never used anything like that-I mean Davis and them, since you are just acting in Davis' place for the moment."

Veemon stared up at them, before looking back at the candy bar piece, munching on it happily. "Yeah, apparently the Eggs are the only digivolution I've seen though, have you ever heard of a human becoming a Digimon?"

With a raised eyebrow, Henry shook his head. "No, I haven't. Why?"

"No reason. Just wondered if it could ever happen."

"Well, anyways, your Digivice. It likes a bit like ours, although it still contains Veemon's Digi Eggs. Guess it couldn't totally warp it as you came here, though how did you get here."

Stopping what he was doing, Veemon looked down, as did Naruto. "We... really don't know. Just this kid held a Digivice towards us and warped us here. For all we know, this could even be a part of the Digital World, and we're just in a trap."

Laughter from both Terriermon-who had lips covered in chocolate-and Henry escalated. "I can honestly tell you this is a Real World, just like Davis' and your own, Naruto. There is a way to get into the Digital World from here, though we need to wait for it to reopen." Tossing a card to the blond, Henry smiled. "Take a look at that. It's a Modify Card. Most likely the additions to your Digivice will allow you to use them. But be careful. I don't really know what side effects might come about."

Naruto nodded, flipping the card over to look at it. A pair of swords-something he could pick out from his misadventures with Sasuke. "Thanks. And I'll make sure that I won't use it immediately. I think Vee and myself can take care of ourselves without needing it."

Chuckles came from Henry still, "Well, at least you have the guts needed for the job. Hope you can get through most of this without worry then. Wouldn't want your Digimon absorbed."

"Absorbed?" Both Naruto and Veemon asked simultaneously, inquisitive about it.

"Yeah. Here in this world, if your Digimon is defeated and shattered, its data can be absorbed by other Digimon."

"Great. Just great. Another thing to really worry about." Naruto muttered to himself. Yeah, he was cut out to being a ninja, but still now being a trainer, his work was cut out for him-needless to say he wasn't going to be getting sleep anytime soon, since he did want to see what they both could do.

More enveloped by the flipping card he held in his hand, Naruto zoned out into his own world, basically staring at Veemon. Now I wish I was still a Digimon, Vee. At least then we'd still be together without it feeling totally weird. It was true for him, but even so, he couldn't really think about it.

"Hey Naruto. You said you've been with Davis for five months, right? And you don't know that much about digivolutions?" Henry's voice broke through the darkness, shattering it completely.

He nodded to the question. "I've only seen the Digi Armor digivolutions. So, I've never really seen the regular version or even this DNA Digivolving that Takato talked about."

Henry stared out at the trees, then his vision moved towards the sky. "Well the DNA Digivolving only happened between two set trainers. Davis was actually the first trainer in his world to really do it. Though I don't know if you could do it-but you do have the Digivice that started it all, even though it looks completely different now. It would be nice if you could do it here, an extreme help in fact." Though as Henry continued to explain things, Naruto's vision began to flicker back and forth-like static came across his eyes.

Those words died out as the static came even faster, until it covered all over the blond's vision, obstructing any view he wanted. "Seems you don't care enough about me, Naruto. Don't want to come home and face me anymore?" A form appeared before him, in the static that he was sitting in, blackened until it came closer. "You truly are an idiot."

"Sas...uke?" Naruto mumbled, reaching out.

"Don't talk to me, unless you are willing to come back and face me, idiot."

Growling at the vision before him, Naruto jumped up from his seat, punching the air, only to realize that the reality had gone away, with Henry, Veemon, and Terriermon staring at the blond punching nothing. "Are you okay, Kyuu?" Veemon asked, clearly startled by the reaction.

Up until he had punched the air, the blond had been silent-almost like he was listening to Henry. But now that he had jumped up, all three were worried about him. "Y-Yeah, I am." Shaking off the weirdness of the vision, Naruto sat back down, staring at the ground, being unusually quiet.

"...alright. Well anyways. The digivolution happens when two trainers finally unlock it as well as become one person. Not literally, but they are linked, as are their Digimon," continued Henry, making sure to not take too much from the outburst.

Naruto rubbed his head a bit, before looking at Henry. "Okay, but.. This is all giving me a headache. I'm going to take a little walk, alright?"

"Want me to come with you, Kyuu?"

"No, just stay here." It seemed that he had his own inner demons, and Henry figured that out. Something wasn't right, and well he wasn't one to butt in.

Standing up, Naruto took a few steps towards the pathway, as Veemon tried to get up and follow him. "No, Veemon. Stay with me and Terriermon." The other boy's hand had gone in front of the blue Digimon, not giving him access to follow the blond.

Veemon sighed, though complied. Watching as Naruto disappeared down the path, the Digimon felt a bit of guilt, as if it was his fault for this all. Though, the blond didn't mean for it to happen, it was felt. How could he tell the Digimon that a former love had just shot himself in front of him?

But, it wasn't given to him. For now, Naruto continued to walk in peace-hoping beyond all hope that it was just that, a vision. If it wasn't, these past five months he spent with Veemon were nothing anymore. His own past was catching up to him, and catching up quickly. Letting his thoughts come back, Naruto tried to put together how it was even possible for anyone here to know about Sasuke, and how it was even possible for something like that happen.

Of course he knew what static was, and that was what surrounded him-but something was off. If it was real, then how did Sasuke get here? How did he manage to come here, when Naruto didn't even know how he himself got here. So many questions came to mind, overflowing the young boy's mind, so much so that it gave him a major headache.

Finally finding that he couldn't truly walk anymore, Naruto leaned against a tree, before sliding down to be sitting on the ground. His knees bent, head buried within them, he cried. It had be so long since he last cried, and right now he couldn't hold it back anymore. Being really too much for him to take, the blond felt his world shattering. To him, if this had happened before he found himself in the Digital World and such, he wouldn't have been so torn up about it-but things change, people move on, or at least that was what he wanted to tell himself.

Something within him broke just as those tears seeped into his pants. A cracking of the world itself it seemed. Looking up at the rip in whatever was keeping his own reality there, he watched as the static flowed out, forming a figure. Not only did it resemble the vision he had, but it was making him wonder if he truly lost his mind through all these movements. "Naruto, are you scared, scared cat?" The chuckle turned fierce before the static pulled back-dropping something as the rip filled itself in.

Eyes peered at where the rip was, to what was dropped, before they opened and closed a few times. Naruto wanted to know if he was seeing things, or it if it was true. And it did happen. Standing up-more of a wavering lush-like stand-the blond stepped over to the object on the ground, picking it up quickly. It was a card, just like the one that Henry had given him, but it was totally black. Looking at his Digivice, and at the card, Naruto sniffled. Why was there a card on the ground? And why was it left for him?

Pulling the Digivice from his belt, Naruto took a closer look at it, wanting to know where the card would go. Quickly finding it for himself, the blond held the card by it, breathing in deeply. Vee. I'm sorry if anything happens. With a thrust downward, Naruto scanned the card into the Digivice, before having to drop it onto the ground-it's heat almost magma-like in comparison. Wincing at the feeling, and holding his hand, Naruto stared at the flaring Digivice, watching the black visible flames shoot up from it, before they shot back down into it. Glowing once more, a green hue this time, the Digivice went docile upon the ground.

Not that eager to pick it up, Naruto hesitantly kneeled down beside it, before poking it with a finger to test it out. Well, it didn't bite nor burn him, so he felt it was alright to pick up. What he didn't realize was the new black and neon green egg that had just planted itself within the device, ready to break anytime soon. "I think I should get back to Vee and Henry," sniffled Naruto as he started to walk back, clipping the Digivice to his belt as if nothing had just happened at all.

Hurrying back to the trio still talking amongst each other, Naruto huffed a bit. Crying had taken a lot out of him, and he realized that his eyes would be a bit puffy went he came back. He thought quickly, and slipped down his goggles, covering his eyes somewhat before he reached them. "Hey! I'm back." Giving his trademark fox grin, Naruto led them to believe he just went for a walk to get some air, though Henry could see through that.

Beneath his shirt, the Digivice attached to his belt sparked with green and yellow electricity, though it wasn't felt by the person holding it. Within it, the black and neon green digi egg that had been created started to take form into something else. Though it was cracking, it bided its time to hatch later on.

"Oh, hi Naruto. Takato came by while you were gone. Seems your bunking with me tonight. Already told my parents that I'm having a friend sleep over, so it'll be okay for you."

Naruto nodded to what Henry said to him, before he rubbed the back of his neck. "Hey, are there any fields around here?"

"Um, why?" asked Henry, wondering why the blond would want to know about that.

He shrugged. "I just, um, want to check some stuff out. It's been a while since I used my jutsu, and I wanted to see if in this world I could use them." A nervous chuckle came by; a lie to cover up time alone.

Henry sighed. "Don't do anything stupid, we don't need any more outbursts of stupidity. Takato does enough for all three of us. But yeah, there's the soccer field in the southern part of the park. Just keep following the main path and you'll get there."

"Thanks." Staring down, he rubbed his arm somewhat, "Could you give me your cell phone? So I can call you when I want to come to your place? I want to actually go there now."

Raising an eyebrow, Henry was about to question more, before Terriermon spoke up. "Henry, just give him it, cause I want to go home. It's already sunset."

Twilight. The time for him to feel right at home. The time that he had left his own world to come here. Naruto remembered it clear as day, and it felt right to wonder if it's just nice to do. Spending time with himself thinking of everything.

Shrugging nonchalantly, Henry tossed the cell phone to Naruto before standing up. "Just press two and then dial. You'll get my home phone. Don't break it, or you'll owe me money." He mutter, lifting up Veemon as well as having Terriermon climb up to rest on his shoulder. "Guess I'll see you later, but don't stay out too late. My parents will have a fit if you come in past ten."

Naruto nodded to all of that, before pocketing the phone. "Sure sure. I'll be back way before that. Probably be out for just an hour or two, then I'll come back."

Henry really didn't care for jutsu that much, or even explanations of things. He had already started walking back to the park entrance. "Call me when you're ready to come home, remember."

Striding towards the soccer field, the blond let his thoughts come over him again. Just like Sasuke had said to him before, thinking too much would hurt his head, and was it in overdrive right now. Sometimes, for him, he did need to think, though. If he didn't, then he wouldn't have the smarts to do something. Though, it was in his nature to just rush in, he had learned after being away for about three years that sometimes rushing in wasn't helpful.

As he walked, he realized that the Digivice on his belt was still sparking with the green and yellow bolts. A bit freaked out by it, the ripped it off his belt and held it in front of him, before staring at the black screen. Finally, the digi egg hatched, showing the shell of black and neon green-just before another black light shot out of the device, shining upon Naruto's face. Getting blinded by it, he dropped it on the ground, only to realize that the blinding light still was focused upon his face.

Almost fearing for his life, Naruto tried to back up, falling onto his ass himself. Holding his head, he felt something inside of him start to snap-right before the reality around him faded to black once more. Again, he felt as though he was going to end like this, like being a fool. Something before him sprung from the Digivice, forming a static shape. Appearing like it was snickering, the form leaned down towards Naruto, slipping into his body like a ghost. "This will be fun."

Lights shined over Naruto's eyelids, as he slowly came to. The lamps above him seemed to illuminate where he was. But where was he? Trying to remember, the blond sat up, only to notice that his Digivice was there in front of him, off of his belt. He picked it up and placed it back on his belt as if nothing wrong had happened. "Shit!" he smacked his head, "I'm suppose to call Henry!" Pulling out the other boy's cell phone checking the time upon it. 9:50. How long was he out? He didn't really want to think of that as he stumbled upon his feet, dialing two like he was told.

"Hey, Henry? Can you come here and get me? I'm not feeling too well?"

"Dude! I told you to call a while ago. You know it's been four hours since I left you?! And it's almost ten!"

"Look, I'm sorry. Just... pick me up..." He fell silent once more, collapsing to the ground. Even though he was out like a light, his eyes stayed open, sparking with the same energy that was coming from his Digivice; those beautiful cerulean orbs changing into a emerald hue. With the static in his system, things were starting to change, like the fangs that were growing in his mouth.

"Naruto? Hey Naruto!? Are you there?" No answer. "NARUTO!?" To Henry, something was wrong. From what Veemon had told him, the blond was never like this. And the Digimon had spent five months with him. So there had to be something wrong.

Immediately fearing the worse, the boy looked at Veemon. "Hey, you told me about D-Tectors, right? You think you could help me see if I can find him with the Digivice?" Veemon shrugged, before padding over to him.

As the beeping got louder, Henry peered up to look around. The lights flickered on and off between the soccer field and tennis court. His eyes caught upon his cell phone, which barely still was on-the battery had run low for the hour it had been on call with his home phone. Unnerved by it, the boy persisted on. Though Naruto was nowhere to be seen, he still saw that he was in the park.

Him and Terriermon continued to walk through the park, watching as the signal moved around a bit, before it stopped, right above them. Staring up, both backed up just in time to not get sliced by the twin blades that were ready to cut them in two. Jumping down from the tree, there stood Naruto-glowing black-with his Digivice glowing with the same light. This definitely was equivalent to something wrong.

"Shit. Naruto. What are you doing?" Henry stared for a few more moments, realizing that Naruto wasn't totally Naruto. The black light that was shining around him had taken a form, that of the Kyuubi. Within both of the blond's hands were the dual swords that Henry had given him earlier in the form of a card, but it didn't seem right. How could Naruto summon a Modify Card for himself? Thinking that was a bad idea to wonder about it, Terriermon and Henry got ready for a battle.

However, the blue Digimon who had followed them-without their knowledge-jumped ahead of the duo, "Vee Head Butt!" Veemon's head slammed into Naruto's stomach, crashing him backwards into a tree. Dazed and confused, the blond laid there, the swords disappearing from his hands and black light leaving him for the time being. Even his Digivice became quiet, flashing one last time as it just settled into its normal colors.

Blacking out again, Naruto didn't respond with more than a yelp when Veemon had collided with him-though Henry was still just shocked, standing there with his own Digivice in his hand with Terriermon right next to him. Just watching what had happened defied what he knew about Digimon, with the boy carrying a Digimon weapon. For now, he'd have to wonder, and even carry home the unconscious boy before him. Hefting him up, Henry sighed heavily. "Come on, Veemon and Terriermon. We need to get inside the house before they figure out I'm not there." Both Digimon agreed, each one quickly following the boy as he started towards his apartment.

"The device has been planted." Sasuke muttered, holding his hand to his own belt. "Now let me go home!" Twitching ever so slightly, the raven haired shinobi was quite annoyed with being drawn here for no reason other than to spy on the blond from his past.

A man shrouded in black just chuckled, before tossing a small marble to Sasuke-yellow in color-motioning to the device that even Sasuke had on his belt. "You'll need to get closer, so use that."

Catching the marble easily, Sasuke stared at it, before glaring. "You only said to infect Naruto! NOTHING ELSE!"

"The terms of our agreement have just been changed, Sasuke. And unless you want to go back into that false realm, I'd do what I'm asking you to. Just get closer to the blond and his new friends."

Sasuke huffed, staring to the side. As much as he loathed Naruto at this point, he hated the static world even more. "Why do I need to get closer to him?"

Another chuckle, "Because. If we don't, he'll discover why I sent him into that world. And we can't have that, can we? He finds out, and you'll find yourself back where I pulled you from."

Snarling lightly, and almost crushing the marble in his hand, the raven haired boy turned around, fixing his black shirt. "You know I hate you?"

"All of my pawns hate me, Sasuke. You're no different. Now go!"

He walked away from the man, staring at the orb slightly. It was just like the one he had used to create the rip as well as the black card. Now he had to use it for something else. The blond seemed to be more trouble than he was worth-at least in Sasuke's eyes.

Staring down at the ground, the goggles upon the man shined in the small light within the room. "Soon you'll both find out why our worlds should never be connected. And by then, you'll both be gone-then the rest of the Digidestined will follow!"

Laying the blond down upon the floor, Henry looked at Veemon. "Think you can keep a watch over him?" The blue Digimon nodded, looking extremely worried at the way his trainer looked. "Good." His hand went to Naruto's waist, pulling off the Digivice. All he wanted to do was look at it, and find out how different it was from their own-but when Henry had gotten it more than five inches away from his body, it disappeared and reappeared back on Naruto's belt. Something apparently didn't want Henry to investigate it.

He truly couldn't let this slide. In fact, it gave him more to worry about as he stared at his own Digivice. What was it that seemed off? Why had Naruto come back even weirder than he left? And why was he attacking them, with a Modify Card used on himself? So many questions, so little answers-all of which made the boy a bit miffed. Clicking on his computer, Henry began to catalog a lot of this, just to figure out what was going on.

With each and every detail being put in, Henry continued to look back and forth; by the side his laptop, Veemon laid upon Naruto, just staring at the young boy's face as he seemed to wince at whatever he was dreaming. "Kyuu, please be alright," whispered Veemon, finally putting his head in the crook of the blond's neck. All of what had happened to them today, it most likely hit Naruto hard-yeah, that solved everything. That somewhat made Veemon rest peacefully, only because it was an answer that was probable. An answer that explained everything.

Spotting the little affection between the duo, Henry smiled. Who was he to judge something like that? Those two, he figured, must have gone through a lot in the short time they were together for that to even happen. Maybe, if he found out what happened to Naruto, the blond might just be one of the better tamers they had on their side.

Keys clinked as fingers crossed back and forth upon them; he knew that something was wrong with the Digivice that he saw before, and now he wanted to know about it. There had to be a connection somewhere, right? And with the Digimon cuddling the blond, he knew that he had to find out. It was the least he could do for Veemon.

As the data came across the screen-reflected back in his eyes-Henry shook visibly. "H-How is that possible?" Before him, showed that the boy he had taken in-the blond one-was made up of both human and Digimon DNA as well as showing that he was but data, not even a real body for the most part.. Terriermon walked over to him, prodding his trainer.

"Henry? What's wrong?"

"H-He's a d-d-Digimon?"

Not totally understanding what his tamer was saying, Terriermon looked at the screen himself, tilting his head. "He who?"

Looking down at the keyboard, Henry closed his eyes. "Naruto. Naruto is a Digimon." Clenching his fists, the boy looked over at the sleeping parties, shaking his head. "This isn't possible. This can't be possible. Digimon can't use Digivices."

Visibly wincing within his sleep, Naruto felt himself being drawn into a different place. The static was still surrounding him, as well as Sasuke standing before him. "Hey, Naruto." The man chuckled, placing a hand upon the Digivice on his hip. "You aren't the only special one, idiot."

Naruto blinked at the device. A silver version of his own. "Sasuke? You're really here?" More dumbfounded at the fact that here was his best friend standing before him with a device that basically stated he was near him, than the fact that his best friend had a Digivice.

Snorting, "Don't get your hopes up," Sasuke was already mocking the blond before him. "You'll soon realize you were never meant for this place. You weren't the chosen one." Twisting the marble in his hand, Sasuke held it between his fingers up at the blond. "You can't even tame one of these, failure." With a wave of his hand, the raven-haired man made the marble turn into a yellow card-one that unmistakably looked like the black card Naruto had found.

"The c-card." His vision darkened. "You gave me that card! You short circuited my Digivice! How dare you, Sasuke! I thought we were friends!"

"Funny how you say that even after I showed you I wanted to cut my ties with anyone from Konoha." Sliding the card diagonally through his Digivice, Sasuke smirked. "Digi Egg Energize!" Between the two hovered a large yellow and green Digi Egg. "It's only a matter of time before you realize how deep you have gotten yourself in, idiot."

Appearing behind his best friend, Naruto looked at the static filled ground. "Sasuke. Why?"

"Because you aren't worthy enough to possess this! You aren't even worthy to call yourself a ninja!" retorted Sasuke, just looking at the egg in front of him. "You'll learn that black will be your inevitable demise."

Sasuke's body had begun to shift in the static, breaking up like deleted data. "Until next time, idiot." Disappearing completely with the egg, Naruto was left in the static world, staring at the ground-even feeling dejected by someone from his own world.

"Sasuke. I'll bring you back!" was all he said, before his eyes closed, falling backwards into a sleep inside of the weird place. "I'll bring you back." The world around him began to pull Naruto even further downwards, as his own head began to hurtle towards a never ending chasm. His promise would have to come before Veemon and his own promise. This was the promise of a lifetime, and wherever Sasuke went, the blond knew that he had to follow-whether he wanted to or not-it was his duty as a ninja of Konoha to bring back the best friend he had from being in a team with him.

I'll find you somewhere,

I'll keep trying until my dying day.

I just need to know,

Whatever has happened, the truth will free my soul.

Wherever you are, I won't stop searching,

Whatever it takes, need to know.
