This was bad.

Sakura Haruno knew that was an understatement, really.  Somehow she and Ino had found themselves on a hill above an unfamiliar forest, seeing a strange city in the distance. It looked nothing like any city they had ever seen, and they could remember nothing about how they had got here from Konoha.

All they knew was a strange woman had been amused by it.

"And now you're lost little Kunochi. This has been a fun outing to the forest, hasn't it?" The woman had said, strangely.

Ino had chased after her when she fled, and somehow, Sakura had lost them both, in the twisting trees and pathways.

All she really knew was, the strange woman probably was behind how they got here, and from her words, she seemed to know more about events before she had woke in the forest. And that meant some kind of mind altering Jutsu to Sakura, making her think the likely outcome was the strange woman would try to control their minds.

Then she saw a clearing ahead, and saw Ino kneeling. Moving cautiously thanks to her theory, she circled around and saw no sign of the strange woman. Ino however knelt before a strange looking costume. It looked like a purple bikini, fake fairy wings, strange goggles, and a long haired purple wig.

Sakura moved, still cautious.

"Ino?" She asked quietly, and saw her friend and fellow Kunochi was staring blankly at a tree.

Sakura prodded Ino's arm, getting no response, but a chuckle. She wheeled around and saw the strange woman, who wave her hand, and in an instant, Sakura was paralyzed, frozen to the spot.

"So, caught up, did you? Well, lucky you're facing that way, give Ino some privacy as she gets changed."

"What do you mean?" Sakura said, still able to talk, but utterly helpless. The woman did not reply.

Behind her, Ino began moving slowly, undressing and replacing her clothing with the purple fairy costume. Sakura could not see it, only hear the rustling of cloth, until Ino walked zombie-like in front of her. The Strange Woman giggled.

"And she's just two steps away from being a full-blown Fairymon. The first step, getting you into these."

The woman held aloft a similar ensemble to what Ino now wore, but with key differences. Feathered wings, a blue wig, a scarf and a partial face mask. Ino then began advancing on Sakura.

"What is that?" Sakura asked.

"A Shutumon. The next one up from Fairymon. Oh, the you about four or five costume changes ago would know but right now you really are Sakura Haruno, aren't you? Ino luckily isn't, she's not anyone just now. " The Woman replied.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Sakura said, struggling to move, but finding her body still unresponsive as Ino grew closer.

"Ino! Stop! Listen to me, you're under some sort of mind control!" Sakura protested in vain as her entranced friend began to undress the paralyzed pink-haired Kunochi, putting the strange "Shutumon" costume on her instead.

Soon enough, Sakura was now dressed in the strange costume, and Ino stood beside he r after giving the clothing she had removed from herself and the other girl to the woman.

"Well, that'll do. You can move now."

Sakura was about to do so, and lunge at the woman, when she snapped her fingers.

And in an instant, things changed.

Both she and Ino glowed, for a second, growing taller. Their costumes became more detailed, the wigs became part of them. The minds of Ino and Sakura vanished away, and were replaced by Fairymon and Shutumon, who stumbled forth.

"What..." The former Sakura said, looking in confusion at her lower evolution.

"How... You're me!" The Fairymon protested.

"Well, it's been fun, girls, but I'm done for the night. Maybe you can both de-digivolve back to Zoe and pass yourselves off as twins in town. See you both tomorrow. Who know, maybe I'll turn you back to your original selves too..." The Strange Woman said, and vanished, leaving two very confused Digimon behind...
