The dark area a place even the most experienced tamers and digimon fear, yet Souji the inexperienced fool felt at ease here, maybe it was because he overestimates the level of power he and by extension his spirit had or maybe it was because that Souji was always the outcast in the human world, born as part of the upper class yet unable to get along with them due to their high and mighty attitude they had. But he was also hatted and bullied by those in the lower class simply he had privileges given to him by birth. This made the boy stuck in the limbo of loneliness and sorrow, and just when the boy gave up thought that having friends was something he will never get to experience, but one day what was supposed to be the usual bullying escalated and ended up with him thrown to the river and instead of being hurt and traumatized the boy was sent to a different world the digital world.
Here he was gifted with strange but amazing powers, and most importantly he was gifted with the opportunity to meet new people and befriend. Those were, Kyosuke, Katherine, Ooi, Amelie, Elsie, Evie, Akemi, Anzu, Sasha and last but not least Isabella. All of these did give him a lot of love or gave him any special treatment. But that was kind of the point, to them Souji was not the son of a famous actress but instead he was just Souji. This made the young boy so incredibly happy as with them he can truly be just himself and no one would judge him for things he hadn't done, of course Souji knew that things might change if the truth behind his lineage is revealed, which is why he intended to hide it from them as long as possible. And this was the thought process of the young boy who was sitting on top of a convenient set of rocks, this allowed to put his scrap book on top of the rock in front of him as he began to draw something on it, while his backpack was on the floor next to him.
"Dang it Souji! I am getting bored, where are they ? They should have been here by now, how dare they make me wait dont they know how valuable my time really is ? I am me, Isabella the beautiful, they must know how lucky they are that I chose them." What interrupted the quite moment of reflection on the past was the admittedly charming and alluring voice of one Tinkermon who situated herself a little far from Souji on top of a dead looking tree, kicking her feet as her face was a little annoyed by something, luckily (or unlucky if you are Souji) the area was empty except for Souji so she can complain completely uninterrupted.
"Take it easy Bella, it has not been that long and besides we sprung this spar request on Elsie and Evie without previous warning or anything like that. So we are kinda super lucky that they agreed to it in the first place so let us just wait and see what happens." Souji said as he continued to draw the four sovereigns, well their real counterparts, so a phoenix, a dragon, a tiger and a turtle. The drawing was absolutely stunning, but the only way to see it is if Elsie or Evie snuck up on Souji, but would they do that to him.....thats the question.
"Well its you damn fault for hesitating so much, I am beginning to think you get nervous around girls and if so then ha good luck buddy the whole team is full of girls, but I guess in a sense you are lucky because if you date a girl you can ask for advice and they can tell you what to do especially in the terms of-" thankfully Bella was stopped.
"Stop it this inappropriate, and kind of awkward." Souji said blushing furiously, yes he noticed that most people he met were girls but that is just a silly coincidence, the boy was now flustered and the fairy was proud of herself as she enjoyed teasing, she let him continue his drawing now as she sang a beautiful lullaby about the moon as the two of them waited for Elsie and Evie to come and spar with Souji.

Friends. Is that what they were? Or acquaintances, more likely? Where was it that the line stopped being blurred, and was clearly one or the other? Truth be told, neither twin really knew. When invited to the Dark Area by someone that they had somewhat recently met, they had to begin to wonder. Neither had really cared much on the concept of friendship in the past. Would that change now?
Siblings walked with fingers linked together, perhaps in demonstration of their closeness. Or, possibly just so that one wouldn't get lost. A thought that surely would never cross Elsie's mind, but Evie seemed to always keep as a concern. After all, the prim-and-proper sibling had a difficult time believing that her twin could keep herself safe in a situation like that!
Was it really smart that they both maintained their human form, when traversing the dark area? One had to wonder. But, it felt more appropriate, considering they were meeting with a person who couldn't digivolve!
Bella was surely right on the twins being lucky, though! But, more in the case that they were lucky not to hear her rant about how late they were!
Souji, on the other hand? Was probably less lucky at the timing the twins 'chose' to arrive at. With a small signal to Elsie to slow her pace, Evie's lips curved to a curious smile. Releasing Elsie's hand, both girls attempted not to snicker at Bella's teasing. And, while Evie would soon put her hands behind her back, Elsie would do something a bit different.
Walking up behind the boy that was preoccupied with art (and embarrassment!), she reached out to put her hands on his shoulders, peeking around to spot what he was drawing. To make the situation surely more embarrassing, she was going to make it clear how long they had been in earshot! "If you want advice on girls: I bet they would like it if you drew pictures of them!"
"...Or, they'll find it creepy," Evie chimed, walking to Souji's side, rather than trying to steal a glance at his art. After all, it only took one twin to find something out. Surely, Elsie would share the knowledge later! "Only draw them with permission. It may be better to draw something pretty for them," she smiled, before giving a wave to Bella.
After all, if Bella was still singing, she didn't want to interrupt it with a hello!

Souji still felt embarrassed due to Bella's teasing but the good thing was that the embarrassment was over right ? Wrong, while the boy admired his own drawing of Genbu, Byakko, Kohryu and Suzaku. He felt something touch his shoulder, it was a delicate and feminene touch. It made Souji jump leaning forward, the boy could help but let out a tiny shreik. This obviously made Bella stop singing and look, the fair laughed so hard at Souji who by now was blushing as red as a tomato. Ashamed at his little shreik, Souji had no other option but to talk as if he did not make a fool out of himself now.
"Oh Elsie, Evie nice to meet you. Its been a while since we last met huh ? Glad you two are well, sorry to have sprung this sparring session on you two like this. But I am so happy that you agreed to it." Souji said before he realized that by now he can't try to hide to fact that he loves to draw from his new friends. "Oh this, I was just doodling. Its very ugly don't pay too much attention to it." He then began to blush even more at the thought of drawing a girl, as an artist the challenge of drawing an actual human did excite him, but the thought of asking someone to model for him is an idea that is too embarrassing to even think about it. The boy couldn't handle all of the embarrassment that happened over a very short span of time. "Y-y-eah b-b-ut I wo-uld have to as-ask someone to model for me." He barely managed to say that, the boy did not expect things to go this way.
Isabella got down from the tree branch she was sitting on, and flew up to Elsie and Evie, crossing her arms. "Oh there you are, where were you two ? I almost got bored of waiting for you, I even thought you two were going to stand us up. But I am happy to see you two here now, what have you been doing ?. " Isabella said as she greeted the twin girls, she then laid her eyes on Souji who is still blushing, this clearly amused the young fairy.
"Oh Souji whats wrong ? Can't handle a little joke, you should get used to it. At your age most boys have girlfriends, right ? I am not sure about you humans, but I have had a lot of suitors. But of course none of them were good enough for me, one day I will find one though. How about you Elsie and Evie, any boys you are seeing or interested in ?" This topic was too embarrassing for Souji to even attempt and engage with.

Oh, that shriek was perfect. Immediately, Elsie burst into a fit of laughter, much like Bella had. Trying to be the less rude sibling, however, Evie briefly put a hand up to cover her mouth, and stifled a giggle. Who would have thought the boy would have reacted like that, when he was expecting company?
"We're not gonna refuse a chance to stretch our legs," Elsie responded, still grinning from startling the other spirit user. "Plus, it's not like we had anything better to do!" And, this was frankly the most interesting suggestion anyone had given all week! Then again, any suggestion to go to the Digital World would be met with acceptance. There was so much to do and explore!
But, with the artist's talk of his art being 'ugly', Elsie had to cause another little scene. Unless Souji resisted, she'd reach right over him to pull the artbook away from him, to turn the drawings to Evie and Bella. "It's way better than I can do! You should join the art club, or something!" Did Souji have time for clubs? Maybe he was already part of some. What did Elsie know?
She didn't even know if Souji went to a school with clubs, or if he was homeschooled! She was just taking stabs in the dark at this point!
As far as asking girls to be models? Well, Elsie had solutions for that too! "So? It's easy! You just need to ask!" Best solution! "You could ask Evie! She'd make a good model!"
"What?" This wasn't in the script! Not, uh, that the twins ever knew what the other planned to say. That would just be weird, right?
"Unless you don't think she's cute enough to be a model?"
Souji was standing in front of a metaphorical bear trap, with Elsie trying to push him forward! How would the easily flustered boy react?
Granted, this was all a big joke to the twin, who didn't expect any real response, other than some stutters or stammers. And, surely, Evie knew. After a few seconds, she'd give him freedom from any requirement of answering, by acknowledging Bella instead! "Elsie can't fly, and we didn't want to use up our energy to digivolve just to travel, anyway. So, we walked instead. I apologize for the delay," the sweet-toned twin responded, politely. "And, someone broke a vase in our home, so we were delayed in leaving because we were getting scolded." Eyes immediately shifted to look to the girl that had been harassing Souji.
"What're you looking at me for? Someday, you're gonna be the one to break something and get yelled at!"
"Unlikely."
Well, then! Evie seemed a little too certain about that, didn't she?
But, at least Bella was trying to address the flustered boy -- who very well may have been made more flustered by Elsie's pestering! And, Elsie would only make it worse, after hearing Bella tell him that most guys his age had a girlfriend. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" If not, it might explain a lot of the distress that he was displaying! But! She had also posed some questions to the twins about boys! To which, Elsie went silent.
That was fine, since Evie was quick to pick up where the silence began. "Not really!"
Where one would think things could drop there, Elsie seemed to find her voice again. "No? What happened to Reki?"
"He was nice but," Evie commented, with a shrug, "I think he was too young."
"How old was he?"
This warranted a shrug from the interrogated twin, "I'm not actually sure."
"Right. Okay. Then what about Elliot?"
This was immediately followed with a giggle, which Evie was quick to cover up again, much as she had when Souji shrieked. "I don't think Elliot is my type." Ouch! Well, it was becoming clear that anyone that had been considered a potential suitor within recent times had also failed at becoming one! "Maybe I'm like you, Bella. We just need to find the right guy." Or girl. Who really knew. But... "Elsie hasn't gone on a single date with a guy since we moved to Japan."
"S'almost like I don't like guys much," the red-eyed twin commented, with clear emphasis on part of her sentence. Though, spotting a devilish smile falling onto Evie's face, Elsie was quick to keep any silence filled, "but, I gotta know, now!" Leaning closer to Souji, the wild-haired blonde gave a grin of her own, "what kind'a person suits your fancy, Souji? Got any crushes?"

The boy was so embarrassed when the girls laughed at him, his face was a deep red as he took his eyes away from them during the whole laughter, because what he can say to justify himself ? But the fact that the boy did not stop the two twins from doing anything in order to come help him was a relief, you see the boy never truly had friends so to him asking for favours was not something he was used to do, but the two twins seemed glad to help him so he was glad.
"Well good thing this did not interrupt anything, we still should have asked you at least a day prior. But this should be over quick, I am so happy that you agre-hey no wait don't look"
Well it was all too sudden but now the red eyed girl took his notebook and now she will see his well drawn and thought out piece of art that he meticulously crafted to look like the 4 heavenly kings, oh no the horror of having something you are proud of being un-ironically appreciated by others. The boy did sigh at the notion of joining an arts club and be with people that are somewhat like him and share his extreme passion for the arts, now that sounded like a really fun way to spend his time. But there was this thing that truly prevented him from doing that and that was...
"Yeah I would love to join an art club but the thing is" the boy stopped for a second, it was a bit hard for him to talk about this but he had to. "My mom won't let me join an art club, she does not want to do art and wants me to do something more important and more uhhh lucrative and high profile be a celebrity of sorts. She does not care about my drawings." Souji said it was a very awkward thing to talk about it, the boy felt a bit better after saying it out loud. Isabella however felt bad for Souji but sadly she can't relate to the boy due to the lack of parents.
But their reaction to that aside the red eyed girl laid a very intricate trap for the easily flustered boy, just ask !? Oh god the boy is blushing again like a tomato, is that going to be a recurring theme ? The boy's mind was too inexperienced to even attempt an answer, but boy is he going to attempt and this going to be good.
"N-n-no she is very beautiful, no I did not mean to say that, but but she is, but she can't be my model, not that she isn't pretty cause she is, I mean ah this is not what we should be talking about."
The boy was flustered blushing and gesturing with his arms wildly, the boy never struggled with a conversation like he did now and the Tinkermon loved this so much, Isabella liked Souji but his easy to play with personality and his utter naiveté is just so much fun to not mess with. But then the fairy focused back on the blue eyed girl, who began to explain why they are a bit late.
"Ah I see well I am glad you are all safe and sound, cause thats whats important. Your help will be very beneficial for us." The fairy said with a Gentle smile.
The poor boy was barely recovering from the girl's initial attack only for her to continue pressuring him by asking a very embarrassing question, the boy had to answer and this was not going to be pretty. "N-no I don't I never ever been on a date before. Its embarrassing I know" the blushing boy answered he can't believe that he was talking with a couple of girls no less, the embarrassment will overcome him really quickly.
Then the two girls talked about the boys in their life, the two names they mentioned were unfamiliar to Souji and Bella, but the two were more surprised by the red eyed statement. Isabella turned to Elsie with a smile, she was so happy to hear that the girl has the same level of enthusiasm she had regarding her romantic life.
"Yeah totally, someday I will find my noble gentle knight in shining armor and you will find whomever your perfect partner is. And you too Elsie, I am sure you will one day find the one. Just keep your chin up."
Man it was good that Souji has a moment to rest from all of that tense topic and not be targeted for on- and Elsie continued her pressure, the boy then began to blush again the red eyed girl was a bit too close to him now.
"Uhhh no not that I can think off no, oh I d-do have one.......but its on an idol so that does not count." Souji said as his eyes were locked with Elsie's who was still a bit too close.

"Don't worry 'bout it," Elsie would respond, both toward Souji's concern about short notice and of her showing off his art! Two birds, one stone! But, the idea of art clubs would be quickly dashed with the boy's next statement.
And, for once, Evie would be the one to suggest a defiance. "Who cares?" Perfectly enunciated, the question rang clear. "If your mother disapproves, yet you want to, do it without telling her." Was it really that easy? And, how could someone so easily say to defy their parents wishes? "If we listened to everything our mother wanted us to do, we wouldn't have gone to Japan."
"Oh yeah. We'd be in the States. NebraskAlaska or something."
"Those are two different places," the green eyed twin stated, with a notable loss of composure. "You can't keep combining the States like that. They aren't even next to each other." At least Evie knew that much off the top of her head! To be honest, even the more knowledgeable twin had a hard time identifying locations of every one of the states in the US. Could Americans even do it with ease?
Either way! Back on track! "Artists are capable of being famous, anyway. Look at Picasso, Da Vinci, Dalí, or Kusama." Would Souji even recognize the list? Some were obvious, but Evie wasn't actually sure on how much the boy knew of arts! "Famous. If your mom wants you to do something specifically 'fame' related, you could do portraits of famous people. Or advertisements that are blown up on billboards." So many options! But, would Souji have the courage to take any of that advice?
It might be easier to just keep doing what he'd been doing.
"Or," one, less savory suggestion, "you could be a famous criminal for placing your art in public places. Elsie could give you tips on graffiti art." This warranted a thin smile, "though, I suspect that isn't the type of famous you'd like to be."
At least they were able to have some light-hearted discussions, also. Or, lighthearted for Elsie. It was hard to say about Souji, considering the shades of red he was turning! "This is totally what we need to be talking about!" What better discussion could they be having?! "Especially since you think my sister's beautiful, but not model-worthy!"
Was that a compliment, an insult, or just a lot of distress? It was hard to say! But Elsie wanted to keep pressing!
At least the conversation with Bella made it easy enough to stop Evie from getting flustered about the conversation!
"Never, ever?" What? Really? "How's that work?" Maybe she could sense that she was getting a little too close for comfort! Leaning away a bit, the red-eyed teen added, "like, you have nice hair and stuff." Not that Elsie would be the best eye for a guy's attractiveness.
Or maybe she would be? If she thought a guy was attractive, he had to be, right? Not that Elsie was about to say that Souji was cute! She'd already made here interests (or lack-thereof) clear by this point in the narration!
But, Bella was probably right! "A shining knight does sound pretty nice," the blonde agreed, with a smile. Or someone a bit mischievous. Or just a clumsy person who brought her flowers. Evie didn't really know what she wanted from a relationship, really. Someday, she'd have to find out! Elsie would probably end up erring on the side of 'clumsy person who brought flowers' someday, all things considered.
Not that either of them were going to fantasize on dream dates right now! That'd be lengthy and probably a little weird! Instead, Elsie still needed some curiosity to be sated! "An idol, huh? That totally counts! What're they like? Who is it? Spill!" At least in her excitement, she wasn't getting any closer to Souji this time! But, Elsie was pretty fond of the concept of idols!

Well that was the first time that someone even suggested that Souji should go against his parents, it was an idea that the boy did even dreamed off. Throughout his entire life his parents and especially his mother was an omnipotent force, someone he won’t dare to defy. So the idea of going against his wishes and pursuing his true love and passion of painting and art was insane, but maybe the twins are right, maybe he should grab hold of his own destiny and live life the way he wants. But he wont think about all of that just yet, the time for that was not today, for now he should focus on the present.
“maybe you are right, I never thought about telling her how I truly feel, or what I want to do with my future even though I have an idea of how I want to live my life. Perhaps sitting idly by and letting her dictate everything I do wont be smart. And yeah those are famous painters, I love those legends and even the comic artist like the legend Osamu Tezuka, Akira Toryiama, Echirio Oda and Hirohiko Araki are to be admired. The idea of making a comic that people can use to unwind and have fun makes me so happy, I’d love to do something that will make others happy no matter how trivial it may seem. But I guess it does not only have to be drawing, I mean I was gifted with this supernatural power and I owe it to the world to use it for good and help others. . . ah would you look at that I seemed to have rambled on and on, sorry about that.”
Despite the fact that right now Souji wore a smile on his face, his voice was sincere, for a moment Souji opened his heart to his new friends, more so than he had ever before. He could not help it he was talking about his own passion and future, the fact that the boy never had a lot of friends before certainly did not help, but ever since he was thrown into the river that day his luck was flipped upside down maybe everything will go alright for the boy.
However what he will never get used to is a girl being this close to him and asking him all this embarrassing questions, it was never that Souji never had interest in girls its just the fact that he did not approach them do his shy nature. But now he can not escape the question, the girl was pressing him, maybe Isabella can help him just a little ?
“come on Souji answer her, what the hell are you waiting for ? do you think she is not model material, if you so tell us why and give us an example of someone we know who can be a model so we can compare her to Evie. And be completely honest now no more side stepping the situation”
Ok scratch the maybe help, Isabella just made the whole situation a lot tougher for the boy, how can he even begin trying to describe how pretty Evie is without risking the fact that he might sound like a major creep, but the deadly combination of Souji and Isabella gave him no other option really. So with a deep breath, a face so red you’d think the boy was wearing some paint on his face, the boy got ready to speak.
“well if you want me to be honest I do think Evie is really pretty, she has a very beautiful golden hair, and deep green eyes that you can get lost in. The reason I said she cant be my model is because I think she might refuse and I swear I am not a creep, I guess saying that only hurts but you wanted the truth so that all I can say from observing her during our last meeting, I just think your sister is gorgeous. “ the boy said and after a few seconds of silence he quickly placed his hand on his mouth and turned away from Elsie and Isabella embarrassed at his sudden outburst. “I am sorry, please forget everything I said. “ the boy was worried that what he said will put a strain on the friendship that has yet to properly blossom.
Isabella on the other hand was very shocked, it was the first time she saw Souji like this, now granted she did not know the boy for long but he was never quite like this before. Impressed she tap the boy with her elbow and before she could say something there was Elsie comment on how he has good hair and its surprising that he has not been on dates before, the fairy tried to use this as an opportunity to steer the conversation her way once more.
“ that’s correct, you are kinda cute Souji, I think you can be a good guy to date. Right Elsie, Evie ?”
The fair winked at Elsie and had hopped that the girl will get what she wanted to do, and hopefully have more fun with how awkward Souji is in these sort of situations and oh um also help gain confidence that is totally the most important thing, not the having some fun part.
“um how do I describe her, her name is Sakura Utsomiya, her stage name is undying flower, she is really cute and adorable. She also likes to have fun and is even into the nerdy stuff I like, video games, comic books you name it. She also has long flowing hair that she dyes often, due to my cone- I mean luck I managed to meet her and she is totally not superficial like most idols, she is down to earth and seem like someone I can be friends with which is the most important thing I guess, she is just different from other idols and that is awesome don’t you think ? anyways why do you want to know this sort of stuff its kinda embarrassing for me to say to you guys, please do not tell the other members this.”
Souji pleaded he did not want more to know all these embarrassing details about him just yet.
