Post by koharu on Nov 3, 2016 5:43:43 GMT
It's been a while, but she managed to get out of Digital World. She heard that her 'brother' Noguchi Ryouta is already here, but... what's the truth anyway? Luckily, she could pass as more than her age although being only 165 cm. She registered on the front desk, used fake ID that looks as legal as it could (courtesy to some people), because she already knew what happened to her adoptive family... They'd rather look for Aria than her. She chuckled rather mockingly. Like hell she'll give Aria back to those guys.
"...Getting to Terminus was hard already as it is," suddenly someone said. It's her partner Missimon, Kon-chan. Beside her is a Koromon, Warg. "Well, honestly that we can slip itself is already a blessing. We gotta give our thanks to all people involved."
"...Well, true that," Koharu said. She quickly searched for internet access and logged in to her messaging client. To her surprise, Yuu is on, and so is Ryouta.
"...Well well..."
She quickly typed a message to Ryouta.
<15:55> Haruchin: Ryou! .... .... <15:56> Aniki: Koharu, is it you!?
She already can guess what sort of face he's making. She giggled and typed again.
<15:59> Haruchin: The keyword is "I got Mana's picture hidden under my pillow" <16:02> Aniki: ...Idiot, I don't have that anymore... it's in my wallet now. <16:03> Haruchin: Sure sure... Anyway, just saying, I'm fine, we'll talk later, I'll give you my D-Terminal address. I need to talk to another stupid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Her eyes stared at the chatwindow. Now it's with Yuu
<16:15> Haruchin: Well guess who's home after a year? (´・ω・`)

School had been pretty chill today, at least to Yuu. She'd glided through the day, and even though she had swimming practice left, she still had half an hour or so to relax.
Man, doing sports was so tiring, but also felt... exhilarating, in some way. She wasn't the best in the school's team, and by a stretch, but at least she managed to pull her weight... and was only getting better at it. Pity that she had discovered the sport so late in her adolescence, because otherwise... she thought she'd have been pretty great a it.
Oh well, not much to do about it, except taking it as it came. Life was strangely great right now; not quite there, but hoping for people who'd been missing for pretty much a year was a bit of a ludicrous assumption, wasn't it?
No matter how much she had searched for them. Well, too bad, it seemed. Without a warning, a wild message appeared!
Yuu stared at it for a good while in utter disbelief. It just was so... ridiculous, in all honesty.
Without missing a beat, however, she answered. Nothing to lose, right?
<16:16> Yuu: Haru? Is that you? For real?
It was still pretty incredible, no matter how much she thought about it.

Koharu left the monitor for a while and took a bath, enjoying the sensation of the hot water on her body. However, she of course did not want to miss messages from Yuu. That's very important! Without any care in the world, the girl also opened the application in her phone and stared at it. She chuckled and begin typing. <16:20> Haruchin: Well, who else, duh? (ーー <16:21> Haruchin: Like there are someone else who know my account? Aria? If it's Aria she won't play this cruel game with you. (ーー <16:23> Haruchin: So here's Haruchin キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!! <16:25> Haruchin: Told Ryou that I'll go back sometime soon, but I got held... <16:26> Haruchin: So how are you, Yuu? How's my boyfriend? Honestly I missed you too much that I think I can live with Mana teasing me for many decades to come for crying right now. (´・ω・`)

If you could speak right now, she'd probably be really vocal about what was happening right now. She just felt so happy that she felt like she could explode in this very moment. It was truly her!
<16:22> Yuu: Well, how can I know? You're being really casual about it, even though I guess that's just how you are.
It still surprised her how casual she was about being gone by pretty much one year, but there wasn't much she could do about it. At least she was just like Yuu remembered her. Unconsciously, she knew she was already smiling.
<16:23> Yuu: But I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Welcome back! I'm glad that you're around again; kinda missed you... a lot, you know?
Got held, huh? That seemed like serious business, even though Yuu figured asking about that through messages wasn't giving the reason of her disappearance enough credit. At the mention of the word 'boyfriend', however, her blood froze. Well, it was to expected, in all honesty. Still... it took her a small while to compose herself and answer to that last message.
<16:30> Yuu: I guess I'm doing alright. School's kinda good atm and so is life. Life's been fine too, even though it just became great thanks to a certain someone appearing again.
That sounded a bit... too cold? Well, that wasn't her intent at all, but... her first contact with her being this way felt weird.
<16:31> Yuu: Sorry, it's just that this is kinda sudden. When can we hang out? I'm dying to see you again.

Koharu chuckled, moving her good leg up and down idly. She could see her boyfriend's happiness through text somehow. She imagined he smiled while she sent the first message. She read all the message, but... toward the middle, Yuu took way too much time. That's so not him, she thought inside her heart. Yuu can type at lightning speed... that long for the reply gap is a bit too weird. She wondered what's wrong... She looked at the reply again. Is he mad because she gone too long? She wanted to explain, but... ah well... wait, that last message, so he's really angry?
<16:32> Haruchin: I'm always casual you know~...or at least, that's what I'd like to say. <16:33> Haruchin: Just say that I'm... well, I'm also afraid what you'll say for me missing suddenly. <16:35> Haruchin: I missed you so much too, but I can't meet you right away. I wanted you to know that I'm fine and all. I just don't want you to think that I'm somehow dead. I really don't want another girl to lay hand on what I own, see? <16:36> Haruchin: But I guess if that's what happened, I got my just dessert for missing for a year. (´・ω・`) <16:37> Haruchin: ...Well, just kidding~ (*・∀-)☆ <16:42> Haruchin: ...Hanging out eh... well, it's not like... I don't want to, Yuu... but currently, honestly I'd rather not let you see me in this sort of state. It's scary what would you say... and plus, I'll get back to Digital World soon. There's something only I can do. I'm here to ask help from you and Ryou honestly. See, Aria is missing. We're separated, so can you somehow look for her? Just do that for now... Um... And if you want to hang out, I think the fastest we can is when I find a safe place for us.
She rubbed her arm where metal plates are jutting out of it. Honestly, what the big idea? She only can smile sadly.
<16:43> Haruchin: ...Well, hanging out aside, I'm fine with any of your request... oh, well, just in case that you still think that this is not the real Haruchin...
She took a photo of herself and sent it to him, of course from head to neck.

Maybe her intent was mistook? Well, Yuu hadn't really reacted on the best way, but... what was the best to react to this? She was extremely happy for sure, but...
<16:33> Yuu: Well, I won't lie; it genuinely took me by surprise, but... it was a pleasant surprise! You know, I wasn't expecting to be messaged by my girlfriend who had been missing for a year or so while on a break at school, you know? It's almost otherworldly, but that's me rambling...
Well, at least it was nice to see that she was as jealous as usual, that even brought a smirk to her face. Enough for her to... well, joke a little. Haru seemed to be as good as always when it came to cheering Yuu up.
<16:37> Yuu: You'd be surprised, actually. Since you were out, I was asked out a lot, and by more boys than girls, while at it! Pretty crazy, huh? Had to reject them all, though; guess that was the smart move in the end, otherwise... I think you'd have my head in a platter right now. Or I'd be Kon-chan's hostage, one out of two. <16:37> Yuu: I was kidding too, by the way.
Her expression ultimately grew sad when Haru said that they wouldn't be able to meet up, then grew extremely worried because...
<16:43> Yuu: Sort of state? Are you injured!? Haru, please tell me that you're fine, because...
She wouldn't withstand losing her twice, especially since she had just found her again. It'd be just too much.
<16:44> Yuu: Just take care, okay? You'll probably be the most surprised if we ever meet up, but I guess I can wait until you feel like it. And don't worry, I'll make sure to get Aria back, just like that time, alright? You definitely trust on me.
Yuu could only sigh. This was as frustrating as it can get, but... what could she do about it? She knew how much Aria meant to Haru, and currently she was being overly selfish, but... that was just how she felt right now. Oh well, to the wait again.
At least her words served to lift her sour mood by a good measure. Well, they weren't her words, but the implications they had.
<16:45> Yuu: Any request, huh? Well, if you're so eager... why not a close-up? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) <16:45> Yuu: Just kidding! I'd like it if Kon-chan wrote something for Kyo. She's been missing her too, you know? She's gonna be so happy once she gets to know you guys are back.

School? How does it feels, she wonder... She means, she basically considered dead for long now, and Ryouta was the first one to tell her now that she think about it, looking at her D-Terminal message. She sighed and read he rest of his message. Somehow she always decides to read first before replying.
<16:46> Haruchin: School huh, well, because I'm dead, looks like I can't reattend school? (lol) I mean, Ryou showed me a picture of my own grave. I was at loss to laugh out loud or just shook my head and think 'wow, way to write me off as dead'.
...The comment being asked by boys more than girls worries her though. She means... oh boy, what sort of school he goes to? Homosexuality isn't something that looked normally in Japan like it is in US... Girls might ask out female senior they admires, but Yuu's not a girl, is he?
<16:48> Haruchin: More boys than girls? ...Yuu, I'm really curious right now. You're never someone who would pass as a really all girl no matter how you looks. I mean, you're not Kei-chan! <16:50> Haruchin: ...Or... are you...?
She hesitated to type that last one, but shook her head. Too late to back out now
<16:51> Haruchin: Well, I'm not "hurt". <16:53> Haruchin: Let's just say I know you'll pursue the matter a lot or overthinking about it if I tried to lie about it like I always do to other people, so here's a hint: I can't pass through metal detector normally now... heck, I can't even pass it at all. My body is fine, no limb lost, but I just can't pass metal detector, got it?
She laughed when Yuu said something about closeup.
<16:54> Haruchin sent you a photo!
...Yes, it's barely SFW with her front being exposed, but whatever.at least the water and bath bubbles are there to cover important place
<16:57> Haruchin: There, you pervert ;3. Kon-chan's resting in the bedroom. I'll tell that to her later.

Yuu scratched her chin at the first message she got. It was an old habit, that'd probably never die, but she liked for it to be that way. Haru's problem had an easy solution, though.
<16:46> Yuu: Being dead isn't a problem nowadays. I'll probably sound like a parent, but I think that your education is important, Haru. Just tell me the word, and I can probably give you another identity to attend school. Your choice, however; won't force you to do something you don't want to do.
In all honesty, she'd love to attend school with her; well, she was a year younger, but still... waking up, having breakfast together and then walking towards school was enough of an idyllic scenario for her. Still, it seemed that that won't be the case.
<16:51> Yuu: No idea. Did you think that I looked like a girl? I mean, I was tall and kinda lanky, and compared to Ryo, I didn't have much in the way of muscles, but... that's something for you to know, isn't it? And... I think you know me enough to tell my gender, Haru. Otherwise, would you've dated a girl? That's kind of a funny idea.
An indirect answer, that Haru'd probably pick up on, but it wasn't like she wasn't enjoying being cryptic. Just like she was being right now. Dancing around each other, trying to tell stuff whilst not telling anything. That came could be played by two people, right?
<16:53> Yuu: That's fine. And don't worry; whatever makes you suddenly magnetic, I'll probably don't mind. Feel free to tell me what is it once you've come to terms with it.
And don't get closer to magnets, but that comment would probably be too mean, not to say that the sudden picture distracted her way more than what it should. Well, at least she had to admit that her girlfriend was as beautiful as ever.
<16:55> Yuu: Jesus Christ, Haru. It was A JOKE! I can't deny that you are even more pretty than before and... I'm glad that nobody was near me when you sent that. It could haven gotten pretty messy to me, you know? Anyhow... what a pity that Kon-chan is resting right now. Tell her I said hi, okay?

Koharu just chuckled. That's sounds like Yuu indeed. She wondered what sort of expression he makes when he talked about that? She awaits for more messages, reading each one of them patiently... The second message, however... well, sounded way too fishy for Koharu. She understand, but at the same time, she wished it's not the case. She awaits several more messages to pop, almost drowning herself from laughing too much at Yuu's response on her photo.
<17:00> Haruchin: Too bad I can't call you---yeah, you know. We'll need video call sometimes... but after today I think I'll return back to Digital World for a while... about schooling with you, I'm fine with it, but... well, let's just say I preferred to straighten the legal matters first, OK? Or don't tell me you actually going to go to Las Vegas right now with me just to give me second identity? <17:05> Haruchin: Funny idea indeed, but I can't see why else would a guy asking to go out with you... so I only can take that as a conclusion, unless somehow you accidentally ends in a school that's too open with their sexual preference. So tell me the the magic word: Are you a girl right now? <17:07> Haruchin: It won't change anything anyway. I think the only thing that will change is now you can try my dress for me before I put it on =P
<17:09> Haruchin sent you a photo!
...Probably this time it's Yuu that's surprised. Koharu took picture of her armorized leg and her arms with metal plates jutting out of it. The leg armor looks like Dukemon's... but now that she think of it, does Yuu know about Warg?
<17:11> Haruchin: Now you know why. We're even, right, Yuu? Well, it might be surprising but... please take care of me regardless OK? <17:12> Haruchin: I'm going to dry myself up first, let's videochat instead later, OK?

Well, situation got a little bit tense. but Yuu'd expected that much. Haru was a strange girl. Not to say that she was normal by any means, but... well. She guessed they were a funny couple just like that.
If they remained as one once they met up again, that is.
<17:01> Yuu: Your choice, as I said, not forcing you into anything. I'd love to videochat with you at some time, even though I'd really prefer to meet up personally. Neither of those are possible right now, but one can dream, right? And, whether you want to straighten your true name or just to get a new one, both are fine, at least regarding the amount of work I gotta do. And, hey! Las Vegas is a nice place to be. I should totally get you there at some time; place's really fun.
Regarding her unfounded accusations, however, she just smiled.
<17:08> Yuu: Well, won't make it easy for you. I don't know where you got those strange ideas of people randomly changing genders, but if you really think that's the case, you'll have to find out once we see each other! That way, you also have an incentive to come back, don't you think? Until then, you're free to go wild with your strange theories.
If it really wouldn't change anything, it didn't matter if she told her or not, right? The next photo she got, however, surprised her by a fair bit, even though she'd kinda expected something of the like already.
<17:10> Yuu: I can't say I'm not surprised, but I guess that the metal detector thing makes sense now. That doesn't cause any pain, does it? Because I can totally begin doing lame jokes about it if it doesn't.
Humor was probably the best way she coped with this like this. As lame as that humor was. Well, if she was leaving, it meant that some time had passed already, right? 17:15, huh? Welp, time surely flew. In fact, she was 15 minutes late for the club.
<17:15> Yuu: Don't worry. I gotta go too. Didn't realize that time flew so fast while chatting with you. Also, to take care of you? Haru, you should take that for granted, even though we can't really meet up right now. But don't worry about it. Guess there's only one thing to do about it, right? <17:15> Yuu sent you a photo!
It was a simple drawing with overly exaggerated letters, but it's intent was really clear. 頑張って (がんばって)!
Now, Yuu had to run or she'd miss up practice entirely. The team manager was going to get so mad at her.
Getting to see Haru again felt good, but... hopefully the next time, it'd be for good. And in person.

Koharu just enjoyed her chatting with Yuu, and was busy to dry herself off... She have to message Ryouta somehow about asking if he wanted to return with her, but... maybe not really? She decided that sleeping on a real bed tonight might be nice, she decided to postpone her return.... Aria, might be really angry if she forces herself too much, but it still sicken her that she actually trying to use her sister's request as justification.
"...Koharu, between responsibility and rest, try to balance both. There's no way I'll let you sleep in a Trailmon, so you should rest as best as you can here for now.. We'll resume tomorrow when the trains are running."
"Anego is right, Aneki!"
...Ah, her partners... she sighed and decided that they're probably right. But she have to ask Ryouta to help her just in case... first, though, replying to Yuu.
<17:30> Haruchin: I know when you said something like that, that means I'm really close to the truth. You can't fool me, Tsumura Yuu, not after whatever happened between us for all this long, mwahahahaha! Speaking of which, though, I preferred to go to Alpine somehow. <17:32> Haruchin: Also, it's pain in the ass, and seriously will be pain in your ass also if you start joking about lameness. ヽ( ・∀・)ノ┌┛Σ(ノ `Д´)ノ Because that's so lame, geddit? Geddit!? <17:38> Haruchin: Also, draw something quick for you.
She sent a picture to him, a self portrait of her in anime style while doing a peace sign.
