It was a tranquil evening at Shibuya. Heck, all the evenings have been more or less tranquil since Yuu had gone back to the Digital World. Just... how much time had passed? Over a year, if she remembered correctly. However, each day brought a small pang of worry to the teenager's heart.
Just over a year ago, pretty much everything went to hell, leaving her just with a life in shambles and...
"Nee-chan? Nee-chan! What're you thinking about? You aren't thinking about that again, right? No use to keep you beating yourself over that, you know?"
Right on your mark, Kyo. The small girl that walked alongside her was probably too sharp for small bouts of brooding, but still...
I'm sure you miss them too, am I right? You were also good friends with them, after all...
"Well, yeah, of course! But we've already searched for them everywhere we could! It's not like they're gonna magically appear in front of us, right? So no point dwelling in that."
As tamer and partner kept on with their conversation, neither seemed to notice that they should have turned like a block ago...
"Anyhow, this is the place, right? Let's enter!"
Supposedly, this was a book store, and it kinda looked like one, but why Yuu had a bad feeling about it. Going behind Kyo, she noticed that the digimon gazed intently at a particular magazine in one of the various shelves.
"What's this, nee-chan? It looks interesting!" For the sake of the narrative, I'll omit the contents of that book.
Kyo, we're getting out of this place. NOW.
"B-But why? This manga has a pretty good plot. Look at th-" Realization suddenly dawned into the holosuited digimon. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"
Kyo fell cold into the floor, consciousness vanishing as her body thumped into the ground. Great. Just freaking-doddily-doo great.
Yuu huffed, but still carrier her partner outside, trying to avert as many gazes as she could due to the sheer amount of shame she felt.

Sometimes for strange reason, Ryouta came to this sort of place. His partner currently left inside the booth in a net cafe. His money is getting thin. He need some job. He was a stuntman once, but that was done rather... a bit illegally now that he think of it. He was 15, and now he's 16... wait, he was just some apprentice. Yeah, an apprentice that ran away after the incident in Digital World.
He was on his way to the net cafe when suddenly he saw someone screaming and fell on their butt. The boy raised an eyebrow curiously, then looked at the sign and muttered "oh". He watched as the girl, for whatever the case, was dragged by another girl away from the site. Some twins? Wait, not really twins. More like sisters. Nobody batted an eye, but honestly, he's probably a bit too intrusive for his own good. He increased the volume of the relaxation music to drown the noises from outside.
"...'xcuse me, Miss, is your sister... fine?" he asked. Whatever trace of the old Ryouta back then, it's probably already got too blurred to be easily recognizable. "Do you need help to get her to nearest bench or something? I don't have smelling salts, but maybe the apothecary over there sells some," he pointed at the store nearby.

Suddenly, a towering... thing came into Yuu's sight. For a second, she thought that his appearance was a bit familiar, but there was no way at all for her to know somebody who looked like Ben Grimm, so she just let that familiar pang go as she looked at the guy in front of her. Help? Sure, that'd be much appreciated. Kyo was kinda heavy when she wore this thing; sometimes she wondered if she ate too much or something of the like. Anyhow...
Given that the prospect of her strange helper knowing or not sign language was something she couldn't risk, she just nodded, taking up his offer with a smile.
Once they got Kyo in a bench and after Yuu made sure that at least she was resting peacefully, now that she finally got her hands free, she brought out a notepad and began scribbling with a purple pen..
"Thank you very much, that was really nice of you; my sister can be... kinda clumsy at times, you know? Anyway, pleased to meet you. Name's Yuu."
After a small bow that complimented her greeting, she scribbled another note.
"Sorry if this is awkward, but that's how things are." A shrug to punctuate that sentence. "What can I do to thank you for your kindness? Do you mind if I treat you dinner or something? After my sister wakes up, that is."

Hm? He raised an eyebrow again when the girl seem to say nothing and just nod... and smile. Doesn't sounds like she distrusted him or anything, but... he lifted the unconscious girl all so easily. Huh, funny, could've sworn that Mana weights about this girl's weight but now it's like he could hold her with a hand just fine. He put her down on the nearest bench.
"Entering wrong shop could be such a pain, so I'm glad that you can get out there just fine... Because apparently my friend entered the wrong shop so many times. She called it 'curse of scramble crossing', dunno why. My other friend says that it's just a myth if you carefully read everything though," he said, trying to reassure the girl...in wrong way.
When he saw the notes, he nodded. A case where one cannot speak but can hear huh. "JSL is OK. I can understand some of them," he said. "But if you prefer to talk through that pad, that's fine too...."
...Yuu? He raised an eyebrow. Yuu is certainly not a family name, otherwise the coincidence would be too much for his brain to handle. "...Well, ain't that funny, I got a friend who have similar case to you too... mmm... name's Ryouta. A pleasure," he said, nodding politely. "I don't mind, but I'd rather have it for takeout. I... got to feed a little brother," he said. "Recently lost almost everything I have, so I'm currently looking for job, but I'm just 16, so I can't do anything to help that."

Uh, apparently Hulk knew how to speak sign language? That was totally unexpected, and really convenient.
Oh, awesome. I really prefer to talk in signs, but finding somebody who can actually understand them makes me think on the worth of learning them every day. Anyhow! It's a pleasure, Ryouta.
She quirked an eyebrow at the mention of "The Curse of Scramble Crossing". Huh, she had definitely heard about it. And of her sister, of all people. Ryouta, too. That name...
She tried to not to get her hopes too high, lest those were just a series of coincidences. But it wouldn't be too bothersome to push them a little too far, wouldn't it?
Takeout it is! I know what feels like to have a small sibling that ends being a drag more often than not. She silently laughed at her own comment; she was kidding, after all.
Until she suddenly stared with a serious gaze at the boy in front of her. No way for her to get on eye level with him unless she got some stairs, but that'd have to do.
Lost everything, huh? That's horrible. The blonde noted. Just for curiosity, is your family name Noguchi? That'd explain a lot of stuff.
Maybe she was getting her hopes up too highly, but hope was the last thing one lost.

He started to sign rather sloppily. "My girlfriend's big brother is mute, and I honestly wanted to bond with him a bit more than just a friend... no hidden meaning, it's just.. I guess I want to befriend him more than simply just a friend?" he made a mistake here and there, but it's definitely understandable. His eyebrows arced higher and his slitlike pupils widened slightly.
"...Uh, yeah, my name's Noguchi, Noguchi Ryouta. Why? Ever read it in newspaper or heard it in news?" he asked, rather curiously. Because seriously, he have no idea how else would she know. He means, he seriously never seen any girl this cute in his class or somewhere else... well, Mana is MUCH CUTER though, and honestly, rather than attraction toward this girl... he only felt some semblance of nervousness?
"...Unless there's something that I have no idea of and somehow my future brother in law changed into a girl...?" he asked, and actually meant it as a joke... Boy, he never knew that he'd hit the target OH SO HARD.

Yuu'd have laughed if she could. Holy shit, this was just so hilarious she thought she'd burst out laughing at any moment.
No need to sign on your stead, you know. I can hear totes fine. It's just talking that bothers me. So... your girlfriend's older brother, huh? You must've liked your girlfriend way too much in order to consciously try to appeal his older brother. Man, those things are like freaking hounds; I swear they can smell your fear.
The teenager, of course, was having the time of her life doing this. It was exhilarating; she'd searched for so long, yet now he had that damn musclehead in front of her, appearing out of the blue in the most strange moment. Maybe the Curse of Scramble Crossing was real, after all.
You're a real doofus, you know, Ryo. She just signed. Oh well, the fun had to end. You freaking musclehead, how the heck did you manage to become Bruce Banner's and Ben Grimm's lovechild? I'd be up to hearing that story over a cup of ramen, or anything really.
Getting tired of her partner being a sleepyhead, she just brought out some perfume out of her purse and sprayed it directly over Kyo.
"ACHOOOOOOOOOOOO~" Immediately awake, just as she had expected. Naturally, the digimon's first instinct was to scan her surroundings, and was particularly attracted at the scent of a certain person just besides them. "Wait, wait, wait... how the heck did you find Ryo-kun? This is pretty unreal, you know."
Same thoughts here. He found us in fact. As strange as that is. By the way, when you talked about your small bro, you referred to Dracomon, right? You should bring him over; he should be starving right now.
A small pause, just before she added with a smirk.
By the way. I'm still against what you have with Mana, you know. Still gotta rack up some points. Now, where do you wanna go?
"That means that Yuu's happy to see you again, you know? Even though she won't say it out loud."
Shut up.

All expletives that came out right at that moment, albeit he managed to censor most of it because it's in English came out from his mouth, completely he was flabbergasted at how his girlfriend's brother turned into A GIRL somehow, and even her PLOTS are bigger than Mana's. It's a bit rude, but he felt like this guy just looks like Karin now. However, without any sort of shame, the bigger boy probably so happy that he hugged the other boy now girl in a bone crushing hug.
"You motherf*ker! Dude, I missed you! No homo though...I'd like to know that too, but cup of ramen? Man, aren't you cheapskate?" he squinted his eyes at her after letting him go. "Those things are just like 300 yen a pack at most, you want to give me 300 yen a pack just to tell me my entire missing one year worth of life? Dream on, nii-san---eh, nee-san..."
....he eyed her from top to bottom... wait, wait a moment, he's EVEN SHORTER THAN HE IS. "...Say, this is really weird, did you gone to Thailand for this or something? This is too unreal, man. You're dating Koharu and I thought if you wanted to change your gender it'll be like Koharu, but you actually pulled a twist and looked like KARIN?" he asked in disbelief. "...jokes aside, seriously, what happened to you?"
He looked at Kyo who now woke up after a perfume attack. "Hi to you, too, Kyo," a goofy grin plastered to his face. "So you changed your holosuit. I never though you'd looks like that now. I honestly thought you'd look more like Jeanne... but actually not really eh... Sure, I'll fetch Ryu. Wait a moment."
Not about five minutes later, he returned with the Dracomon on his arm.
"No holosuit, sorry man. Let's have him pretend he's a doll..."
"I'm no doll though," Ryu protested between sealed lips.

Well, if his appearance was a sign of anything, Ryouta had gotten stronger. A lot stronger, in fact. Son of a...
Given that he'd probably not her signs because, well, Ryo was Ryo, Yuu instead decided to sign to Kyo, who kindly translated.
"Nee-chan says that you're kinda crushing her spine. And that she appreciates it being intact, so she'd thank you if you didn't break it... huh... musclebrained doofus? Yeah, that's what she said! Geez, I'm so good."
Once on the floor again, Yuu'd check there weren't any vertebrae broken, and then she'd sign directly to him. Geez.
First off. It can't really be homo, you know? I don't know what Mana sees on you and that's why I frankly wouldn't date you in a million years. Now to what matters, I'm offering ramen because you were a nut for it back when you were a thing. And I kinda offered anything else too, you know? But it seems that the muscles of your ears grew up so much that you can't even listen to an entire sentence now. Geeeeeeeeez.
She saved herself the trouble of correcting his mistake, given that they weren't related on that level yet, but she guessed she'd let the sleeping doofus lie. To his second comment, however, she couldn't but facepalm. Hard.
Holy f***, Ryo. You really are another thing. Do you think I decided to look like this, especially since I know that Haru is straighter than an arrow? I already know that I'm fucked up for something I didn't really do if I ever find her again. I don't need for you to remind me that, you know? Also, Karin? What the flying f***? Do you think I tried to copy her or something? I think that your muscles took your brain or something.
Yuu didn't know if she was pissed off or not, but she didn't appreciate the comparison between her and Karin. And was sure that Haru wouldn't appreciate it either. She hadn't decided how to freaking look, after all! Not to say that she was actually far prettier than Karin, but that's another tale.
Kyo, on her stead, was livid at that comparison with Jeanne. And she didn't have as much patience as her tamer.
"That's not a nice joke, you know. Jeanne-nee would kick your and my ass for sure if that were the truth. And this thing is pretty comfy, to be honest. I don't wanna change it any time soon."
Ryu didn't have his holosuit, huh? That was an interesting one, but not something that she hadn't expected from Ryouta. Oh well. They tried to be not that suspicious as they greeted the Dracomon.
Well. I'm still kinda waiting for you to decide on place to stay. Lead the way.

"I'm so over that right now, honestly," he muttered. "I never got any real food, so let me crash on your house or something and let me cook something for four of us. I'm really done sleeping at internet cafe. My house is sold, my dad's shop all locked and I don't have any legal documents that I'm his son with me, so I can't suddenly claim that it belongs to me now."
However, rather than apologizing at the angry Yuu, Ryouta just grinned. "Yeah, it wasn't a funny joke," he said, scratching his head "But I need to check whether you're really Yuu or somehow there's someone who pranked you to be like this," he said, now expression turned dead serious. "...Honestly, you need to fill me up whatever happened for a year. When I returned, Everyone I knew gone... even Mana..." is eyes darkened slightly, looking really sad. "...Sorry, honestly I know it's insensitive, but I fired it because I guess I need to make sure that it's not a dream... heh. A week, Yuu. A week, finding up that apparently you got a grave somewhere nearby, your family not there... and you're totally alone with just 120.000 yen on hand. That's why I'm too happy that this happened... even if... well, probably you're not as happy as I am for that remark."
Though, when Kyo looks livid, he just looks confused. "What's wrong with sisters looking like sisters? I'm not saying you should COPY her. I'm saying I thought if you changed your holosuit you'd prefer to looks more like her since now you looks different with how you do back then, because who knows, maybe you gone together and somehow picked it when I was in a year limbo?"
After fetching Ryu, he actually gone to the supermarket. "I really just want to cook for us, seriously... You don't mind that, right? What do you want for dinner? I'm in mood for some salisbury steak honestly and turkey bacon wrap."

Silently snickering at Ryouta's statement, Yuu just nodded at it; she could understand him wanting to change instant noodles for something tastier, and all honesty, she didn't mind that on the slightest.
Hopefully you're as good at cooking as you were back in the day. Otherwise, you're not getting near my kitchen. Got it? That thing was expensive as heck and I'm not willing to replace it this soon.
She had purposefully avoided the important statement Ryouta had made, though, making him squirm a bit wouldn't hurt, would it?
And of course I'm Yuu, you doofus. Who else you'd think I am? Your fake cousin from another dimension? Please, man, that thing only happens if there's a Digimental at the end. And those kind of things don't appear in the Human World, you know? Anyhow...
After a small pause, she began to walk towards the direction of her flat, Kyo on tow on her.
Let's get there, then I'll recount, right? I think that talking here about our friends isn't really appropriate. So... let's go? I kinda have everything we need to cook whatever in there, so there's no need to go to the supermarket. What kind of half-assed person you think I am? Seriously. In fact. I'm kinda expecting for you to tell me a lot of things too.
Kyo, on her stead, just shrugged at that comment, then procceeded.
"Well, but I am me and she's she. While I love Jeanne-nee, that doesn't mean that I try to follow her as if I were some kind of crazed cultist, you know? That'd be really~ creepy."

"You're saying that to a son of a patisserie chef, you derp," he jabbed back, playfulness apparent in his voice. "Plus I swear it's only getting better. It'd be sooner for pig to fly rather than me disappointing you with my cooking," he said with absolute confidence. "So seriously, it's not needed? Kay then. But whatever you want to eat, you two?" he turned on his phone and looked at some recipes.
He looked up a bit and scowled when Yuu said that. "Dude---er, dudette, you can never know. I mean there was a psycho back then who appeared right in front of me and made Ryu wounded. It's completely not out of my ass kind of theory that it could happened."
He sighed when Yuu pointed out that he need to tell him what's up too. He's as lost honestly. "I'll fill you in whatever happened, but no promise it won't make you say "what the fuck Ryouta?" In return, I really want to know what happened so you changed... There's too many strange thing in the world, and I honestly just as lost as you when it comes to this."
...migraine again. He took out his ipod and blared the volume up, but sputtered when Kyo said her part. "...Kyo, uh... Whatever you think I wanted to say, that's a bit too extreme. I'm thinking that it'd be like sisters picking matching clothes you know? I'm not telling you to pick the same as she does. I'm saying that I thought you'd pick similar appearance to be 'matching' because you're sisters... oh boy, well, ignore it anyway."

Yuu couldn't but shrug at what Ryouta said. Nothing would've surprised her as of now, in all honesty.
What do I know, fam. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me to see a pig fly around right in front of us. Stuff's just the way stuff is; I gave up on questioning it a long time ago. And, yeah. Not really needed. As I said, I'm not half-assed enough to not to have enough food to invite somebody over, you know? That'd be sad. On many levels, really.
"I wanna eat something good!" Kyo was a lot more direct on her opinion. "As long as you're the cook, I'm pretty sure it'll be good!"
The teenager didn't know if she could blame Ryouta for being such a doubting thomas, even more so given that his change seemed to be way greater than hers. However... well, yeah. It was prettu unbelievable, to be honest.
Transdimensional enemies are a thing only if there's a Digimental in the end, I said it~. By the way, did you fail or succeed on getting that one? Because by the sound of it, it sounds like you failed epically. And, yeah, I'll probably believe that you're crazy once you're done telling your tale, but I guess that mine is pretty unbelivable too, so we're kinda going to be even, I guess.
At least the distance between Scramble Crossing and the Housing District was somewhat close. Before they realized it, they were there already. With a shrugging Kyo; she still thought that Ryouta's reasoning was flawed, but she wasn't really in the mood to argue against him. This was supposed to be a happy moment, right?
I think we have to take the stairs. I'm pretty sure that you'd wreck the elevator if you were to use it. Hope you're looking into getting some excercise.
Seven floors later...
And here we are. Taking her keys, Yuu opened the door to her apartment, revealing a scarcely decorated, yet cozy place. And kinda big to boot; probably meant for more than one people to occupy.
Make yourself at home. If you break anything, however, you're going to pay for it. Just a heads up.
Half jokingly, half seriously, of course.

"...Now that you said it, there's a Patamon. Apparently it's a flying pig," he muttered, scratching his head. "Well, if that's the case, best restock for later. I'm going to cook us something, and I'm sure that you'll love it," he told her. Well, he's sure that it'll be a feast for sure. He's quite a bottomless hole now, but Ryu is evenmore so. He had to several times entered Digital World just to eat and then returned back here...
...At times he wondered why the hell he's not living there?
"Heh, encouragement very appreciated, Kyo. I'll make sure to not include anything you dislike."
He rolled his eyes at Yuu's remark, but can't deny that. "Shut up, blondie. At least I'm the one who can fuse with my Digimon now. There's not much use for an armor once you get to that stage. I guess I just advanced way too quickly. Regardless!" he stretched his body and made some cracking sound. "...I'm so going to make you pay Yuu. If only you're not a girl now, I'd seriously get you for commenting about my weight. Just for your information, I can lift you both just fine at the moment while scaling that stair, so please, don't make this any more difficult for me."
Without sparing any minutes when getting in Yuu's apartment, he quickly "raided" the fridge and get out several raw ingredients and started cooking without any reservation. His actions is more or less without any wasted movement, quickly chopping some meats and already making what seems to be like a feast.
"The breakdown is like this: Appetizer is seafood creme soup Main dish is salisbury steak with mashed potato Salad is chicken wrap, or if you want just a normal one with corn, lettuce, tomato and grated carrot. Hope you like something a bit more western. I'd try something japanese, but I'd make that for next time anyway."
He resumed his cooking after he said that.

So... he had failed, huh. A hearty, yet silent guffaw erupted from the blonde's mouth at the mention of that event.
Really? You failed to get a Digimental? Man, that's probably the most basic thing ever! Of course she'd savor the moment as much as she could. The fact that you sound like a sore loser about it doesn't make that any better, you know. I just can't believe this; just gooooooolden!
So, he was able of biomerging now? That was neat. And powerful, she had to admit. Last time Kyo and her fought seriously was... pretty long ago. They probably were so rusty right now that Yuu'd probably feel shame about that. But that was best left without mentioning.
Oh, so a knight in shining armor like always, huh? You really haven't changed a bit, haven't you? Once a dork, always a dork, I guess. I'm still the same person as always, you know. Well, no, I've changed a bit, but I'm still your older cousin, and don't expect for me to give a break just because of the... well, circumstances. You'll have to work as hard as always, y'know.
At least he seemed to be doing okay in the kitchen. And luckily, he wasn't breaking anything. That was a relief. He also seemed to be thinking maybe a bit too much about the food. That meant either that he was really hungry or that he really considered being a chef. In any case...
"That sounds delicious, Ryo-kun!" Kyo immediately said after the teenager presented the menu. "I have no idea what half of those things mean, but I'm sure it'll be delicious!"
A facepalm after, Yuu went on with the important things.
So... what happened to you? Where are the others and why you became The Thing? I'm all ears.
