The blinding lights that had flooded the stage died down. Music that had blasted from the speakers had faded into the air. The only thing that still remained was young man standing in we spotlight. His hand was extended out as if he was asking for someone's hand. The dark brown eyes he had made it as though he was looking directly at you. His messy, but at the same time perfect, hair gave him a mysterious look, and his white shirt and black leather jacket and black jeans gave him a bad boy look. Slowly he returned his limb to his side. The other arm was gripping a chrome microphone. On it a picture of a great, magnifient dragon.

As the spotlight flickered off, the music artist decended from the platform. He was swarmed by half a dozen people. "You were as great as ever Mr. Kato. Just amazing!" said one person, who just happened to be the idol's manager. "Now that that's over its time to get changed for your interview." The pop star sighed.

"I wish I knew how this whole singer gig was going to go. If I had, I wouldn't be here right now."

"Well, you're here now Ryuji and that's the point. Now hurry."

"I'm hurrying!" Ryuji rushed toward the dressing with closed eyes. When he got through the door and opened his eyes the male saw an beach with rich white sand and a marvelous bluish-green sea. "Where am I?" he asked himself. "And how did I get here?"

"I think I can answer that," said a light female voice. Ryuji turn around and blushed. A few yards away from him stood a teenage girl. Just about the same age as him. She had light, blonde hair that was swept back from her face and pinned back with a diamond-studded clip that was shaped like a rose. She smiled at him. Her eyes look like they were forged from the sea that was now at the idol's back. There was a calmness about them that made it almost impossible not to feel relaxed, but at the same time it would make you want more attention from her. The white, flowing, knew-legth dress she dawned just added to her beauty.

"Who are you?" he asked. He couldn't pull his gaze from her.

"I'm Miyuki." She started walking toward Ryuji and he started to tense up. She stopped about two feet away from him and started studying his being.

"Um.....Miyuki?"

"Yes?"

"Where are we? You said you knew."

"I do. We're in the Digital World. Sumi's probably waiting for us back home now. We should go."

Ryuji starred at her in disbelief. Was she listening to anything that had coming out of her mouth. It was utter nonsense. There were so many things going through his mind. Am I supposed to believe this? Where am I? Did someone kidnap me? Why is she so pretty? Do I look okay? Does my breath stink? Is this a dream? Why do I have the sudden urge to eat 15 mints and get sprayed from head to toe with a nice collonge. The only thing that came out of his mouth though was, "What?" Miyuki's expression turned from happy to sad. She took a few steps back from him and dropped her head in shame.

"I'm sorry. This sounds crazy. You probably think I lost my mind." Ryuji felt like his heart was dissolving in his stomach slowly and painfully.

"No! It's not that. I'm just a little dazed right now. You said that someone was waiting for us?" Miyuki looked back up at him and and gave him a small smile. It gave the male singer relief for a reason he didn't know of. Miyuki shook her head yes."Well, why don't we go see them so things can be further explained?"

"Okay. Just a second." The blonde side-stepped Ryuji and started walking toward the ocean. She stopped just as the water met her white platform sandels.

"Miyuki, what are you doing?" He joined her.

"Calling big brother. He told me to sing when he needs to come to get us."

"You sing?"

"Uh-huh." Miyuki closed her eyes and opened her mouth and a lovely sound filled the air. It was low, but still light. Like it was whispered by the wind. The teenage boy was moved.

"She sounds like angel doesn't she?" asked another voice. This one male. Ryuji turned around and almost had a heart attack. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. About twenty yards away from was a white tiger. But it wasn't just any white tiger. This one was gigantic, probably twenty times the nornal size, had four yellow, beating eyes and was fashioned in blue, silver and black armor. Yellow spheres circled its torso. It was standing with it's face turned towards them.

"M-M-Miyuki! T-T-Tiger!"

"She can't hear you." It's mouth wasn't moving.

"W-Why not?"

"She goes into her own world when she starts singing." The frosted tiger took two steps forward. He covered about 10 feet in just the two strides. He opened his mouth and let out a loud roar. Miyuki was so surprised she almost fell into the water. She stopped singing and turned around.

"You scared me," she said. Ryu turned too her. He looked like he was going to pass out any second.

"He's a two ton talking tiger! How could he not?"

"I'm used to him like this. That's Big Brother."

"Big....Brother?" Ryuji took a quick look at the both of them before fainting and dropping into the sand.
