This is a little of a new thing to try for me as I haven't really written anything with romance in it before, just one oneshot of the sort, but I wish to write in every category so I need to practice as such, anyway besides that, I've wanted to do this crossover for awhile, I don't know why but I just feel these shows fit together somehow, most people would probably disagree, but whatever, I wasn't sure about Takato's eye color, but I see most authors' refer to his eye color as reddish, so I just went with that, I don't own anything.

Prologue

Reality, it defines what we are, what all is, they say the universe is reality, but reality is not so simple, it is not just what we see.

Reality is like a river, it splits down many paths, every moment, every decision.

When you must decide something you may think you can only make one decision, but this is incorrect, no, you make all the decisions, which is why reality is infinite.

Some realities are nearly identical to each other, but the further back the split was, the more radical the differences.

Realities are usually separate from one another, as it should be, but despite this the boundaries of reality are weak, and if realities overlap, they can often be breached.

These breaches are often taken as nothing or simply strange, things moving without explanation, feeling something that isn't there, hearing faint voices seemingly coming from nowhere, often always caused by realities overlapping.

But some realities form stronger connections than others…

It was a sunny day, like any day, everything was normal, everything was peaceful, birds chirped, and children played, as it was a perfect day for such things, many parents had taken their young children to the park to fully enjoy the sunny day.

This was also the case for 4 year old Yuri Otani, who sat in the sand box as her mother watched her from a bench, Yuri moved her toy shovel around in the sand contemplating something that she had wondered as she watched the other kids play about in other parts of the park, why did no other children come to play with her?

She was alone in the sandbox, she pondered this and decided the other kids simply would rather play about in the other parts of the park rather than the sandbox, so Yuri got up and wondered to where some of the other children were playing, her mother still watching her closely, some kids were running around playing tag when Yuri walked over cheerfully.

"Can I play?" Yuri asked innocently as the other children stopped and looked at her.

"…Um, we're kind of already playing, but you can play with us when we finish this game," One little boy said as the other children nodded, Yuri frowned but nodded before they ran off to continue their game, Yuri sat down sadly, she was sure the kids would forget about her by the time they finished.

"I wish I had a special friend, one who would play with me whenever I needed, and help me no matter what, and never forget me," Yuri whispered to herself, but despite the fact that the wish was not intended to be heard, the universe hears all, connecting to another universe where another lonely child resided, the wish would come true.

Yuri glanced up with surprise as a transparent human-like shape began to form before her, and soon completely appeared for her to see what it was, it was a little boy about the same age as her, he was transparent but she could make out every detail about him, he had brown hair and reddish eyes, which stared curiously at her as her eyes did the same to him.

"Who are you?" Both of them asked at the same time, Yuri curiously reached out her hand to touch the boy's, but it simply passed through shocking her.

"Are you a ghost?" Yuri asked; somewhat scared and the boy shook his head.

"No, are you?" the boy asked and Yuri shook her head no, she got up and walked closer to the boy and inspected him curiously, she looked around and noticed nobody else had even glanced at the strange child before her.

"How come I can see through you?" the boy asked looking at Yuri closely.

"You can? I can see through you," Yuri said before she smiled "Hey it doesn't look like anyone can see you, but I can, are you the friend I wished for?" Yuri questioned.

"You wished for a friend? I did too, and I think I'm the only one who can see you too," the boy said looking around at what Yuri had come to assume was probably a different place than where she was.

"Then we must be each other's special friends," Yuri said happily before she held out her hand "I'm Yuri Otani, what's your name?" Yuri questioned the boy who smiled back at her.

"I'm Takato Matsuki, nice to meet you Yuri," Takato said before he tried to shake Yuri's hand only for his hand to go through hers like before, but both children simply giggled at that before a conversation sparked between them, they talked for a good while, Yuri didn't care that people were staring at her as if she was crazy, she didn't mind that the kids who said they'd play with her before came back, but ran away when it looked to them like she was talking to thin air, Yuri was just happy to have a friend.

"Yuri! Time to go home!" Yuri heard her mom call; Yuri turned in the direction of her mom and waved before she turned back to Takato.

"I have to go now," Yuri said somewhat sadly, Takato nodded before looking around a bit before focusing on Yuri again.

"I do too, I'll see you later, I guess," Takato said before he got up and walked away, Yuri waved before Takato seemingly faded away; Yuri then got up and began walking back to her mother, hoping to see her friend again soon.

"I win!" 5 year old Yuri Otani happily shouted to her seemingly transparent friend Takato Matsuki, both were sitting in Yuri's room, or it at least appeared that way.

For the last few months, Takato and Yuri had come to a better understanding of how their connection worked, Takato and Yuri were never in the same place, and they could contact each other anytime no matter where the other was, Takato was in his own room currently so to Takato it looked as if Yuri was in his room, it was also very apparent to the two children that nobody but each other could hear or see the other, their parents simply thought they had imaginary friends, and the other kids mostly just thought they were crazy, but they didn't care.

"What were we even playing?" Takato asked with an amused look on his face.

"I don't know; does it matter?" Yuri questioned with a shrug, the two glanced at each other before bursting out into fits of laughter, Yuri suddenly tried to pounce on Takato, but like always simply went through him, both were silent for a few moments before they quickly burst into laughter once more.

Yuri's mother watched her daughter seemingly talking to nobody from the doorway with a concerned look on her face, she closed the door and walked away hoping Yuri's 'imaginary friend' phase would end soon.

Yuri sat in the living room watching TV, she was now 6 years old, it had been about 2 years since she had met her friend Takato who sat beside her on the couch, or at least it appeared that way, but Takato was actually sitting on his own couch, they were pretty sure they weren't even watching the same thing, but they didn't care, they just enjoyed each other's company.

"Wargreymon to the rescue!" Takato yelled out excitably, seemingly about whatever show he was watching, Yuri looked at him with a look of confusion, before she smiled and gave a giggle; Takato looked at her; also smiling "What?" Takato asked his friend "You're silly," Yuri said before she began laughing; Takato soon joined her in laughter.

Yuri's mother walked into the room and sighed seeing her laughing, she hated to do what she was planning to, but her daughter needed real friends.

"Yuri, can I talk to you?" Yuri's mother asked before Yuri looked at her and nodded, before turning back to her 'imaginary friend.'

"I'll be right back Takato, my mommy wants to tell me something," Yuri said before walking over to her mother who led her into the kitchen, Yuri's mother sighed, she really didn't want to do this.

"Yuri, about Takato," Yuri's mother said looking down at her daughter who smiled.

"What about him? He's my best friend," Yuri said cheerfully.

"Yes, he is very nice Yuri-" Yuri's mother began but Yuri interrupted before she could continue.

"Yes he is, he is very fun to play with, and he never ignores me, no matter what, he is-" Yuri said before her mother cut her off.

"Yuri, you have to stop," Yuri's mother finally blurted, Yuri frowned at her mother in confusion.

"Stop?" Yuri asked looking at her mother strangely.

"Yes Yuri, you need to stop this thing with Takato, it isn't healthy, you need real friends," Yuri's mother said as Yuri's eyes widened.

"B-but he is real! He's my-" Yuri stuttered but her mother interrupted again.

"Enough Yuri! You need to start living in the real world" Yuri's mother said firmly despite the fact that it nearly broke her heart to see her daughter's eyes fill with tears as she said this.

"No, no, no!" Yuri cried out before she ran back into the living room, where she saw Takato crying like her "T-Takato?" Yuri sniffled looking at her friend.

"Yuri…m-my mommy said I can't see you anymore, she came in after you left, and s-said you weren't real," Takato cried, Yuri tried to hug him but her arms simply went through him.

"Mine said that about you also…I don't want you to go," Yuri whimpered.

"I don't want you to ether, but…I have to do what mommy says," Takato said sadly and Yuri nodded.

"Me too," Yuri said nearly bursting into tears once more "G-goodbye!" Yuri cried out as Takato began to fade and tears fell from his eyes.

"Goodbye," Takato whimpered before he disappeared completely, Yuri turned off the TV and sadly walked to her room, thinking she would never see her best friend again.

There, constructive criticism is helpful, but remember to also give what you think of the storyline.
