Karin. I know that we aren't exactly friends, and I myself wouldn't be asking this favor if it weren't because Kyo wanted to see "Onee-sama" again. I know that I'm being imposing, as I don't know what are exactly Chessmon's feelings towards her, but could you please do that favor to me and bring her to where I am? I'll be waiting for you on the Village of the Beginnings, should you decide to come.
Yuu P.D.: Mana-chan gave me your adress, if you're wondering how I got it. She really likes you, so please don't be mad at her.
That was the message he had sent to Karin, as he and Kyo awaited for them to show up on the very spot where they had been reuinited. Kyo discovered that she still had her previous digievolution powers, but... her form had changed, drastically. She was now a small half-violet mammal who had ears that she could use as wings... their reunion was emotional, to say the least, but now he was happy to have found her yet again.
"Yuu-ottousan, do you think that auntie Karin and Onee-sama will show up?" she said with a hint of doubt "Do you think that Onee-sama will like me even with this new body? Flying's totally weird, and I'm even smaller than before..."
Yuu only caressed Kyo's back on a conforting manner as the little Tsukaimon calmed herself down. To be totally honest, he didn't know if the girl would come, but even if she didn't, at least he would know that nobody from that group were trustworthy, after all.

Understood, I'll come. Please wait about thirty minutes. I'm almost there -Karin-
The usual short reply appeared on Yuu's D-Terminal, although it's probably sent very recently instead of immediately after he sent it. It's a small reason really... Instead of Darcmon who is not ready, it's her who's not ready at all to meet the duo. Her heart still aches from the last incident.... and knowing death could change people, just like how it changed her and her partner drastically, Karin wondered how much it'll changes the two. She's afraid... afraid of those change... To be honest, she's really happy when they first got together, the three of them... But now... that group has broken.
She has gone to path of revenge. Her blood boil everytime she thinks about that bear, while Darcmon can never stay calm while conflict about to happen in front of her eyes. Selfish act that brings pain tot he other infuriates her. The two has changed, really changed... It's like there's a strange flame of anger that Karin never knew she had it inside. The incident does not make her happy.
And when the two stepped on perimeter of village of beginning, Darcmon once again assumed her Jeanne form, not really willing to reveal her change to her 'little sister'. She has gained power... but she obviously doesn't think it's enough. The two's signal appeared on Yuu's Digivice as his signal appeared on Karin's, too.
"...Nervous?" Karin asked.
"...Mmm, let's not think about it. This time, let's try to ease her feeling..."
"You don't want to give her sense of familiarity?"
"...To be honest, that form's weakness... I blame it all on it. Hence, this time, I don't want to assume that form unless it's a complete necessary."

As soon as Yuu recieved the e-email and showed it to Kyo, the pair became relieved. Yeah, Kyo was growing uneasy, and that was maybe the most prominent side effect of her being deleted. She had heard Kotemon... none more and none less than her sensei having mercy with the one who would be her murderer, and after that, she felt as if she couldn't really trust in no one, but in Yuu, but she wanted to prove herself wrong, just this one time. She really loved her onee-sama with sisterly affection, and really wanted to believe that their bond would prevail even in the face of deletion.
What to say, she was even more happy when she smelled Karin at the distance, quite some time before she could be seen, and of course, her onee-sama's smell was along hers, although it had a little something that she couldn't describe, and she started to get afraid, fearing that she had been deleted too. Yeah, her extremely acute sense of smell had carried onto her new form, although that she now didn't resembled a dog at all, but maybe her later stages would? She could only find out with time.
"Onee-sama~!" she screamed with joy when she saw her. Even if she didn't have the appearance she remembered, her smell was mostly the same and that was mattered to Kyo at the end of the day. She flew at an incredibly high speed, trying to land on the digimon's chest, and hugging it tightly. Not a second later, she started to cry.
"I've missed Onee-sama so much!" she said between sobs "I'm so happy!" Yuu made his presence known shortly afterwards, and brandishing a new cellphone that well... seemed to be really state of the art.
"Hi" the new, and even more manly robotic voice muttered. It now sounded as the one of an adolescent instead of the one of a child "Thanks for coming, Karin-san. I'm really grateful for that".

The moment they facing each other, Karin sighed and brushed her hair aside from her ears. She's not ready... she's totally not ready at all with this meeting. She has failed and she has yet got her revenge against the perpetrator of this s**tty scenario. With the new Kyo who looks more to a Patamon, but apparently in viral version, Karin have no idea what she would think of it, but somehow, Jeanne is the one to react first. She easily accepts Kyo who now crying happily. Despite the change of form, she's... otherwise still smell the same, and there's no way she can mistook the girl who would come to her just like that.
"There, there, Kyo... Oneesama is here now... I'm fine and all and... Geez, you're... such... a... c-crybaby..."
But looks like not even the knight Digimon could handle the emotions which threatened to leak out. She returned the hug, crying her eyes out silently. Her holosuit fades out and reveals her true form as Darcmon. The two cries together on the bed-like ground of the village. Yet, despite so, her tamer is not crying at all. She only can stare at the ground before she downcastedly bowed her head to the brown haired tamer.
"...I got no excuse, I'm still regretting that day, no matter what happened. I'm sorry, I still haven't beaten that guy, nor encountered him in advantageous situation... I'm so sorry."
Cold fury still etched in her eyes everytime she remembered that lawyer and his evil bear... her mission is to put that bear on his place, either way.

Kyo, of course, cried like her life depended on it, even after being called crybaby. "Whe-en that happ-ened, I forg-oot to say bye to you, Onee-sama! I really thought that I wo-ouldn't see you anymore and that you'd be ma-ad at me. I'm so so-orry!" Yeah, she was actually apologizing for not saying goodbye to D'arcmon while she was being deleted, and was crying her heart out for that simple fact. Yet, to Yuu, that wasn't the most weird thing he had heard today.
"Excuse? What're you talking about, Karin? You've done way more than what I could ask of any of my acquaintances. You're behaving like a true friend would, yet I'll refrain from using that word because I know that you're uncomfortable with it. Firstly, what had happened on the forest wasn't your fault, and that both you, me and even Yuuki-san knows" he brought out his new D-3 slowly, still unnacostummed to his appearance. Yet, a hateful memory was instantly triggered by seing it, and a scowl immediately appeared on her face "Can you believe that I actually found the one person who instigated all this, and his digimon actually had the nerve of blaming it to me?"
He had felt true hatred on those moments. Who Sparkmon to talk about that so freely? he hadn't lost anything on that fight, yet he had gained something: Yuu's purest hatred, and he was pretty sure that he'd show him that sooner or later.

"It's alright... it's... alright..." the angel stroke the small Tsukaimon's back, all while she's still crying. "I'm... so-sorry I can't... protect you better... I... I should've... pulled you before... y-you charged... Y-you're alright now... right?"
Karin meanwhile, stared at the new blood colored device. So much contrast to his previous device. Karin looked at her own device, which colored slightly different from Mana's, yet at the same time quite the same. She's feeling uncomfortable, but at the same time, she know whoever saw the death of their important person would definitely fall... Yuu is a clear example of it. As for her...
Dark Knight Line, Online, First Requirement Released, Not Enough Memory.
She clearly heard that back then. Karin grimaced. There's definitely something else fueled Chessmon's evolution... and unlike the knightly Darcmon, it must be something along the line of a berserker.
"...No, it's fine. Your sister kind of break that defense, so I'm starting to trust people... a little bit. However, I still can't... get over the fact that Kotemon acted so high and mighty... If only... if only I could slap some sense to him... but looking at him again made me want to puke from stress... I don't want to go back to the place anymore..."
However, listening to Yuu's sentence until the end... Karin...
"WHO THE F**K THAT SANCHO PANZA THINKS HE IS!?" Karin angrily cursed. "NO APOLOGY, NOT EVEN SINGLE REMORSE!? HE BLAMED IT ALL ON YOU!?" hot tears running down on her cheek. Pure frustration. "DORUMON NEARLY DIED, KYO DEAD ONCE, AND THIS... BAS**** DARED TO BLAME YOU ON EVERYTHING!? WHERE THE SENSE IN THAT!?"
Fury, fury coated every sound she made. Her breathing become so ragged. Karin fell down to the ground on her knees, punching the ground in frustration. "...I don't know how you can even handle that guy... I can't... I can't, Yuu... If I'm in your place, I'd choke him even if I have to die... I hate those kind of heroes who thinks they're right while all they give is suffering."

Kyo immediately looked at D'arcmon with a serious expression the same instant she said that she was sorry. "NO! It wasn't your fault, Onee-sama! I... I was the dumbest digimon ever. I trusted Kotemon-sen—Kotemon and I'm pretty sure that you did just the same. Anyway" It was really obvious that she didn't want to talk about that "I'm kinda fine. I feel so clumsy when I try to run or to do things with my legs, but I can fly now! So I can stop the next time I do some stupid thing like jumping blindly, and I learned some other cool tricks too! You gotta totally see them someday!"
At least Kyo was starting to lighten up. It was obvious that now her words were way more mature than the ones of her Salamon self, and that the dissapointment she felt about her previous sensei was pretty much alive, and even that it was mixed with some quota of anger. How much it was? Well, that would take some delving. Yuu, of course, looked at Karin somewhat puzzled. He hadn't seen the girl crying, yet she was doing it now so freely, and in front of a person that she had only met two times in her life. Her sister had done some really hard work in there, apparently. Maybe he would get a slap for being overly familiar, but he was somewhat chivalrous, he crouched down to her level, and placed her hand on her shoulder, as if trying to console her.
"He's not worth your tears nor your anger, and don't make me get started on hurting yourself" he said to her "Do yourself a favor and stop feeling distressed because of him, because that will only end in more hatred; it's a vicious circle, really. If you want me to be totally honest, he even told me that he went back after I escaped and that he saw your digimon fighting alongside Gladimon, and that he went away again because he thought that the most probable result would be that you'd win... Uh, also, Mana-chan told me that Yuuki and you are an item, so if I'm being too familiar, just slap me and I'll understand"
He sadly whistled at the last words. Recounting those moments pained him deeply, yet, that was a wound that he wouldn't let to close until he had made those people feel what he had felt. Only that way, he would rest easy.

"We ran," all was the simplest thing she can said when he put his hand on her shoulder. "We ran as he turned into Warumonzaemon. It spelled instant death for two champions if we were to fight him... I'm thinking to leave Kotemon there, but... Yuuki doesn't want any more sacrifice and make a dash for it. Neither of us can take his judgement back then, but... Now that I felt it turned like this, I can't help but to feel thankful... probably it's best to run afterall..."
She wiped her tears and smiled softly, something she rarely do to anyone. "...There's no need to... You're... that friend, the kind that won't backstab me, aren't you? Then... as long as you never betrayed me, then I'll simply do the same... That's all I can ask... but..."
Her eyes immediately filled with resolution once more. "...No-minded selfishness will need to stop. Even if I have to become a devil in the process... I'll definitely... stop delete-maniacs who targets human and Digimon alike... That's why, I'll be going somewhere, Yuu... You might be unable to meet me anytime soon after this, but... there soon will be time where we can close our wound... Just that time is... not now. Please, don't tell Mana... don't tell her I'm looking for something Yuuki and the other is looking for... The me who masters higher level evolution... and that reason is..."
Particularly strong wind blew from opposite side where Karin's facing, like an omen of something disastrous about to happen.
"...To delete all those selfish beings who disregards bonds anyone shares and walk by their own pace without a damn at those."

Yuu nodded slowly when the blonde girl mentioned that the bear evolved yet again. So the battle was hopeless since the beginning, yet, that bit of information didn't make him feel any better; well, the part in which she said that both Yuuki and she came relatively unscathed did make him feel slighty better, but that was a sidenote. "In all seriousness, I'm torn, Karin-san. I want to come back at everyone who was reponsible of this" he <said> as Kyo began to ran in circles around D'arcmon with hapiness, but tripping on her own legs because she was as clumsy as they come. It was a somewhat sad sight compared to the agility she was capable of as Salamon...
"Yet at the same time, I don't want anybody to hurt Kyo anymore, but that's wishful thinking, isn't it? There will be more fights, even if I want them to happen or not. If I'm being totally honest with myself, I want them to feel what I felt, even if it's for an instant and that's why I want to become stronger.
Karin's resolution was indeed a noble one, but Yuu felt it as senseless at the end of the day. "Well, if you ever need help with your quest, just speak out. Just a piece of my mind: I really don't believe that all the evil can be prunned by a single person, as it'll always grow back, even if you become the devil himself. And don't worry, I won't tell Mana-chan as I'm... hiding something from her too... You know, this question has been running through my head for a while now. If you could do anything to Kotemon and Sparkmon, Nova's digimon, what would you exactly do to them?".
While saying that, Kyo got up from the floor, looking up at D'arcmon. "Onee-sama!" Kyo finally called, as it seemed that D'arcmon was ignoring her at moment "Are you there? You seem to have zoned out!" if she angel reactsm she would go ahead and ask "How are the others? Dorumon-san, Ayaka-san and Dracomon-san? I haven't seen them in ages! They're all alright, right?"

Darcmon quickly caught the falling Kyo, all while smiling, yet her smile slightly laced with worries. She's worried that her little sister might took a drastic turn of event to something much more sinister. She don't want her to fall on that path like she does, and in her worry, Darcmon hugged the little Tsukaimon immediately.
Karin, hearing Yuu's words, simply smiled sadly. "Both of us... no... I believe, everyone is trying their best on their own way to not let things repeated itself, but... there's no way that we can get back at those peoples without hurting our partner... But that's exactly why. That's exactly why we still can move forward... we shared the same goal, Darcmon and I... If we're afraid of getting hurt, then this would go nowhere."
Then, Yuu asked question about what she would do to the two Digimons who caused this great mishap. Karin sighed before finally answering. Her tone really icy, it's clear that she doesn't want to talk about it. "If Kotemon truly has regretted it, then I don't need to beat up the dead horse. It'll just make me sick. Now... that eel of a lizard, though... I'll definitely go in for the kill... Such foolish being... such an arrogant one that cannot read the mood and so selfishly dragged anyone into vortex madness should just die, reformat, and hope he learned his mistake or I'll go in for the second kill... as for being alone, worry not... I'm not that alone, Yuu."
Meanwhile, apparently Darcmon has spaced out for quite the time. Kyo's sudden call-out brought her back in.
"Ahhh... em, it's nothing, really... As for them, I think Dorumon is fine, although I think Yuuki might be dragging him around... he told me his muscles are getting sore lately, so they must be training... as for Dracomon, I have no idea, but last time I heard from Ayaka, he was on a life-threatening situation, but get out of it quite marvelously. As for Ayaka herself... well, she's an Ultimate..."

Kyo smiled at D'arcmon's commentary, evidently happy that all her friends were alright, but Yuu... Yuu's mouth opened agape at D'arcmon words. Was she being serious? His cellphone almost fell from his grasp as he typed with surprise
"Ayaka, Ultimate? Are you actually talking about Mana's, my little sister's digimon? You aren't being serious, are you? Ayaka's younger than Chessmon and Kyo, and while I can understand that she hasn't reached champion yet" he said, trying no to dwell into it for much time "I can't find a possible explanation as to why she would grow THAT fast. I mean, Kotemon's already way older than any of our digimon, and he hasn't hit Ultimate as of yet, right? Well, he isn't really an example of a digimon that learns fast, though. I can't imagine my sister handling that sheer amount of power. It's just... surreal" he then made a pause, complemplative "Can I ask you a favor? I'm going to be away a long time from home. I don't know if Mana-chan already told you but, I'm going to study abroad, so... I'll be away at least six months, possibly even a year. I'm imposing too much on you, but could you please take care of her? I know that Ayaka can keep her safe, but you see, the last time that I talked to Ryouta, he told me that he.." he seemed to be genuinely angry for a split second "Hugged her, he HUGGED her, Karin-san! Mana-chan's just thirteen, and she totally can't be exposed to those things yet! Please, promise me that you're gonna make sure that she stays safe on that way, and, even if you can't stop it, please make sure that she won't be taken adventage of. She's just too naive, and most probably will fall for the first guy that treats her nicely. If anybody hurts her feelings, I swear, I just swear that that person will pay. Dearly"
Yup, his sister had absorbed the topic almost completely. Hopefully Karin would just put his doubts at ease so they would resume the previous conversation.

"No, I'm not lying at all. Would it be funny if I said perhaps soon she'll enter Mega phase?" Darcmon teased, purposely coating her words with sweet tone, although it's harmless at most. "Teasing aside, I know she's younger than me, but it's seem Mana got her share of adventure, hence this happened. I myself have no concrete idea of what happened, but that's just... that. I'm champion as I'm now, I won't bother thinking about Kotemon, but let's say, I guess it's because they has gone through so much, Yuu. I know you love your little sister so much, and there's definitely nothing wrong in being protective, but... me and Mistress, we saw her as a strong girl who we can trust as comrade. She's wise beyond her years sometimes... but we would like to avoid treating her like a fully responsible adult. We'll stay by her side to grow together with her."
However at the mention of Ryouta in the conversation, Karin just stared at Darcmon, who just shrugged, like telling her that it's fine to tell him that part ONLY.
"...Well, Yuu, for starters... Ryouta is my childhood friend, alright? I practically knew all stuffs about him like reading book. I know he won't dare to hug any girls beside me and Koharu and his little sisters... and Mana admitted to me that she did it first just as token of friendship (Karin have to lie at this part). I guess you're right about that 'falling for the first guy who treat her nicely' and I'm sure Ryouta has gone brother mode again to a girl younger than he is..." she sighed. "Cannot blame him, he's just too nice and dense to notice it'll bring misunderstanding anyway... but to be honest, Mana doesn't fell for Ryouta, alright (at least not anymore, she thought)? As for that, I'm already doing that part of favor. She's kind of... like a surrogate sister to me, I guess."

Yuu looked at D'arcmon, flashing her a small smile as Kyo began to wiggle to be free of her arms. Mana was indeed strong. And wise, but also... "I... Thank you, D'arcmon-san. That means a lot for me. I know that Mana's strong, she has weathered so much things, and even... things done by me. She won't relent because that's who is she, yet, she too has her fragile side. She's not invincible as she seems, and I'm pretty sure that if you've talked with her sometime, you know that even if she's always looking happy and strong on the outside... that can crumble as fast as a castle made of playing cards. She's brittle, and she'll totally break before bending, and that why she needs someone at her—" she stopped himself when he heard "surrogate sister" and immediately looked at Karin a little perplexed. Surrogate sister. The only way for someone to call her sister 'sister' was... nah, impossible. He shook his head immediately, but couldn't contain the slight blush that tinged his cheeks. Deciding to drop on that, and quite happy that her sister had someone in she could rely, he continued.
"Don't get me wrong, Karin-san. I know that Ryouta-san is a really nice guy, and I trust in him. But still, Mana's the only family I care about. If she decided go out with him, I would accept it EVENTUALLY because I'd know that he'd protect and cherish her, but I would be so, so angry if just a random guy came and made her cry that I'd just... wouldn't know what to do to that person. I know that I come across as overprotective, but Mana has already suffered his fair share of stuff during her life; she really doesn't need more unnecessary sadness, you know"
He sighed, knowing that the most probable outcome is that her sister will go through saddening experiences, even if he wanted them to happen or not because life, well... was full of saddening experiences. He gave a glance to Kyo, that now was happingly flying face down around D'arcmon while saying "Look at me, Onee-sama!". It kinda surprised him how she had mastered her wings in this short periord of time, but he guessed that it was somewhat related to her nowfound clumsiness on her feet.
"Anyway, returning back to the topic at hand. I know that you really don't want to talk about it, but please bear with me. While I'm glad that you share my views on those two, that was just a preamble the the really important question. The guy with the suit, the one with the bear. I want to know if you have seen him after what happened in the woods". His face seemed to be full of grim determination, as if he was sure about what he was about to do, even if he didn't like it one bit.

Karin raised her eyebrow questioningly at Yuu's strange behavior, but regardless, simply waves it off. She's glad that Mana have such a caring brother and overprotectiveness... well, she got her share of it when dealing with Mana. Still, her concern is that the fact perhaps it'll take more than just a little convincing to him that she has met her boyfriend and honestly, the guy almost has become... a pukeface?
"Well, well, Kyo... I might take it as a challenge later on! You're an amazing flier, but if you can fly better than that in your other forms, then I'll definitely will ask you to dance with me, dear sister," Darcmon declared, flashing an amused smile.
Karin glanced at the two Digimon, but quickly returned to subject at hand.
"...Yeah, I met him once and forced to deal with him. There's no helping it at all. Mana was there... and honestly, more than anything, I'm focused in protecting Mana."

Yuu's face was a contortion of anger at Karin's response. "She came out unscathed, right? Just tell me that the guy didn't do anything bad to her or otherwise" right in cue with his bout of anger, the ground under them made a slight tremor, but stopped right after "I don't know how or when, but I'd find a way to kill him dead if he ever laid a finger on Mana-chan" he paused, trying to calm himself, but really failing at that "Do you know where did he go afterwards? I'm searching for him, but if he actually harmed Mana-chan in any way, I'll have to change my plans regarding him. Anyway... How's Mana? Has she made any friends besides Yuuki, Ryouta and you? I want to at least keep tabs on her acquaintaces, should I meet them while I travel in here".
Kyo on her side, was pretty excited at her sister's proposal. "That would be so neat, Onee-sama! Back then, when me and Yuu-ottousan fought against a weird mouse guy, I really don't know what happened, but I could evolve all the way up to perfect and I was just like you! Only that my clothes were kinda black and stitched and my hair was white. Do you think I'll be able to become an angel like you yet again, Onee-sama? That way we could be really sisters!"
Yuu sighed at the commentary, but chose no the mention that Kyo's previous evolution was quite the opposite of an angel, or better said, an angel that fell from grace, and most likely, the shame of all the other proper angels. Hopefully that wouldn't affect her relatioship with D'arcmon. Hopefully...
