Author's Note: This was suppose to be a one shot story….but then…things changed. Story got a little too long….so here's the first chapter of it. If anyone of you have read "Lost Love", one of my stories, you should recognize Via…like I said before…I co-own her with someone and that someone does not have an account here…so it's under my account…ok?…ok…

In Between Evil and Good

By: Sakura Kinomoto and Skye

Chapter 1: Hate or Love

                A dark shadow appeared in front of a small "ball" with wings. A deep voice spoke out, "Have you chose one yet?"

                "Yes master. She's coming soon."

                "Quickly, the digidestined are arriving soon."

                "Yes sire."

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                The girl stood there, staring with her large green eyes hatefully at the dark figure. Her eyes burning with anger, her mouth covered by a cloth, her limbs, all tied up. Her black hair was a mess, there seemed to be some struggle before she was captured.

                "Place the stone on her," ordered the dark figure.

                "Yes master." The small "ball" with wings held a small ruby-like stone in its claws and placed it on the girl's forehead.

                The girl struggled but the stone remained on her forehead.

                The dark figure stepped forward and dark forces seemed to be attacking the stone on the girl's forehead.

                The girl tried to cry out but with the cloth only muffled cries could be heard. Soon the girl fainted and the stone turned from red to black.

                The figure laughed an evil laughter. "She's now under my control! Demidevimon, bring her to the room until she wakes up. Then give her my instructions for her."

                "Yes, master Myotismon."

                Evil laughter was heard, echoing in the room.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                The girl's eyes fluttered open.

                Demidevimon smiled, she's finally awaking.

                The girl's eyes were now fully open. Her eyes had a glint of evil in it.

                "What's your name?" asked Demidevimon demandingly.

                "Vivian, or Via Mihara," she answered.

                "My, our master have ordered you to attack the digidestined and their Digimon. You figure out a plan so we can attack."

                "I will obey his master's orders."

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                "Okay gang. We'll take a rest here."

                "Finally. My poor achy feet really need a rest."

                "We know that, Mimi. You've been talking about it all day." said Joe.

                "Well, it really hurts!"

                "Would you guys just be quiet?"

                "Matt?"

                "People need rest," said Matt, eyeing T.K. out of the corner of his eyes.

                Silence fell over the group as the children began to relax. Suddenly a loud roar was heard.

                "What was that?!" Everybody stood up while the Digimon got up to protect his or her friends.

                From the bushes came a girl running out with a Monochromon behind her.

                "Gabumon?"

                "I'm ready, Matt. Gabumon digivovle to...Garurumon!"

                Garurumon shouted, "Howling Blaster!"

                The attack hit the Monochromon and it ran away.

                The group gathered around the girl, asking questions.

                "Are you ok?"

                "I thought we're the only humans here..."

                "What's your name?"

                "Ooh...I love your clothes. Nice hair!"

                "Why are you here?"

                "Why was that Monochromon chasing you?"

                "Who are you?"

                The girl sat on the ground staring at the them. Her face had no expression, her eyes looked cold. She thought, "So these are the Digidestined, they don't look so tough. They're just kids. I wonder why Myotismon took so long to destroy them?"

                The girl finally spoke, "My name is Vivian Mihara. You can call me Via for short. I just got that Mono angry, that's all."

                "Are you human?"

                Via stared at them, "What do you think? Of course I am!"

                Joe apologized, "Sorry, but we can't help it. You're the first human we saw other than ourselves. It's just a big surprise!"

                "Oh..." Via raised her eyebrows.

                "Hey," said Matt. "You seem to know a lot about the Digital World. Do you live here or something?"

                "That's none of your business."

                Via stood and brushed her pants.

                "Are you going?" asked T.K.

                Via stared at the little boy. "So, what if I am?"

                Matt spoke up, "Why don't you stay with us? It's going to get dark soon anyway."

                Via felt a special feeling, actually weird feeling when talking to this Digidestined. He seems different. He looks...more mature than the others do. The way his hair looks, the way he smiles, the way he talks to her, the way his clothes look so good on him...oh, what is she thinking about? She's supposed to be his enemy.

                Every Digidestined watched the stone on her forehead changed from black to dark red then back to black again. What was that suppose to mean?

                "That stone on your head," said T.K., "it changes colours."

                "What?" Via felt the stone on her head. It feels cold. Nothing special.

                "Why is it black?" the little boy asked again.

                "That's again none of your business," she looked at the rest of the gang, "none of anybody's business."

                Everybody started to have different thoughts about her at this moment...

                "Man, who does she think she is?"

                "She could be nicer, couldn't she?"

                "She's cold."

                "Is she our new enemy?"

                "Does she work Myotismon?"

                "She's mean!"

                ...except for Matt.

                "She must have some reason for that attitude. Maybe it's that stone..."

                "Anyway, I have to go now." With that, Via walked away before anyone could stop her.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                Matt stared up into the sky. He couldn't help but think of the girl they met today. Via Mihara. What a pretty name.

                She seemed to be special in a way. The way the stone on her head changes colours...it seemed to control her feelings. Black might mean of her being cold, turning to red might mean she's getting warm. Who made her change?

                Matt felt sorry that he didn't introduce himself. "I think I just fell in love with her," thought Matt to himself.

                He continued to look up, day-dreaming about the mysterious girl they met today.

                On the other hand...

                Via sat there nibbling her fingernails. What was wrong with her? That guy today...just totally flipped her mind. Did she go crazy? And about that stone, it shouldn't change colours, it was suppose to be black, meaning her obedience to Myotismon. How can it change?

                Via thought, "That guy...did he made the stone change? I don't even know even know his name. Am I really starting to have feelings toward the Digidestined?"

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                "Have you met the Digidestineds yet?"

                "I have, master."

                "Good. Hurry up with the plan."

                "Yes, sir."

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                Rain splashed down from the sky while the Digidestineds ran for cover.

                "Look!" shouted T.K. "A cave!"

                Everyone looked at where T.K. was pointing and started to run towards the cave.

                "Whew! That was lucky. I'm soaking wet," said Tai.

                "Everyone is, Tai. You don't have to restate the obvious," said Matt. "We'll need a fire to dry us up."

                "That wouldn't be possible. We don't have any dry wood. The ones outside will be too wet," explained Izzy.

                Suddenly a voice came from the inner part of the cave, "I've got some here. Wanna share?"

                They jumped at the sound of the voice. It sounds familiar...very indeed... "Via?"

                A shadow came out of the dark. It was...she was Via. "So we meet again. You guys are soaking wet. Let me start a fire to warm all of you up."

                "Thanks," muttered the group. They were too cold to say anymore.

                Soon a fire lit up in the cave and the group huddled around it.

                "Sorry about my attitude earlier...I was just having a bad day." Via spoke up all of a sudden.

                The group didn't speak. "Forgive me?" begged Via. Her job was to befriend the Digidestineds, her attitude earlier that day was terrible. She has to make up for it.

                 T.K. spoke up, "Are you sure you'll be nice to me?"

                Via smiled and patted his head. "Of course!'

                Matt was stunned. He didn't realize how pretty Via was, especially when she smiled. His heart was beating like crazy. He may really be falling in love with this strange girl. "You still don't know our names yet, do you? My name is Matt. This stupid guy with the goggles is Tai."

                "Hey, who you're calling stupid?"

                "The little one is here T.K. Izzy here is our computer genius. The girl with the helmet is Sora. Mimi's our fashion expert."

                "Not that there's much fashion around here."

                "And...this one here is Joe."

                "Hi, nice to know that there's more than bad in you."

                Via laughed. "Well, you all know my name, Via. So let's gather around now and have some fun like friends!"

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

                Via's eyes darted around cautiously, making sure all the Digidestined are asleep. She stood up and started to head out the cave. Suddenly, she heard a voice, "Where are you going?"

                She spun around and saw Matt awake and looking at her. "Nothing," she replied. "Just going to get some fresh air." She wasn't expecting anyone to be awake. That's not good.

                "May I come with you?"

                "Sure," said Via, a little shocked.

                The pair walked out of the cave silently, not waking the others. They both stood there quietly looking at the stars, not knowing what to say. After a while, Matt broke the silence. "So, how did you get here?"

                "Huh?"

                "How did you get to the Digiworld?"

                "Oh...just by some unexplainable forces." To tell the truth, Via doesn't remember anything before she started working for Myotismon. Where had she come from? When did she come here? She placed her hand on her fore head, why didn't she remember? She frowned as she tried to think.

                Matt saw her frowning, "What's the matter?"

                Via looked up. She forgot about Matt. "Nothing. Just a headache."

                "Oh," Matt was about to turn away when he saw her stone. It was dark red again! What does it mean? He kept the question to himself. Better talk with the group about it. He said nothing more.

                The silence went on. Via wasn't very comfortable with Matt. There's something about him that makes her nervous. She thought to herself, "Better keep away from this Digidestined before failing sire." Then she said to Matt, "I'm going back in now. See you tomorrow."

                Matt looked at her and said, " 'Nite."

                Via smiled slightly and walked back into the cave.

                When Via was gone, Matt sighed. "I am falling in love with this mystery girl."

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_       

                "Get them to my castle by tomorrow's sunset."

                "Master? Isn't that too early? The Digidestined..."

                "I don't care as long as I can destroy them! Now do as I commanded!"

                "Yes...master."
