Dreaming In Color

The Beginning (Part 2)

A/N side note:

Digimon/Kemonogami don't have a sex like humans and animals do but they choose what they prefer themselves. Be it male, female or genderless

Kudamon is a digimon without a gender like Renamon in digimon Tamers (Until a certain episode that they change their gender to a female) and referred to as They or She sometimes.

Digimon are really interesting creatures such as Pokemon.

Well enough of it and let's do some actual work.

Mashiro panted and caught a breath when she finally reached the train station. She looked around, and in relief, she sighed.

"Thank goodness, no one is there."

She pulled her smartphone from her hoodie pocket and looked at the time.

9:07 p.m.

"Just eighteen minutes now, huh..." Mashiro murmured. She quietly looked up her notifications and saw that her mother called her numerous times.

"That woman...!" When Kudamon saw the notification from her partner's mother over her shoulder, she couldn't help but click her tongue in annoyance. "She cannot catch a break, can't she? All that this woman will do to you is only your obedience to her that you fulfill her wishes instead of yours and break your spirit if you come back to her!"

"Now, now, Kudamon," Mashiro reassured her. "Let's save this for now. It will not be good for us if we keep talking like this. For now, let us move forward and see what kind of future we are making together." 

"You're right," Her other half looked at her with a bit of embarrassment from her outburst and nodded sheepishly in agreement. "Say, did Aoi reply to your message yet?" Kudamon asked.

"I'm about to check on it," Mashiro replied while she blocked her mother's number on her phone and tapped in her other chat room to check that her friend Aoi texted her back.

8:37 p.m.

Can I come over to your place for a while? : Me-

I don't have the patience for my mother anymore. : Me

8:54 p.m.

- Aoi: I told my father that you would come to us for a sleepover and said that is okay since it's the golden week.

Aoi: Let me know what you need if you forget something in that house. I'm very glad that I will help you with your situation.

Mashiro smiled over the messages and began to type a quick message to Aoi.

9:15 p.m. 

Thank you. : Me-

Suddenly, Kudamon twitched one of her ears as she heard someone coming in their direction. Mashiro who was alarmed, quickly got away from the dim light sources and pulled her hood over her head which Kudamon hid behind her neck. "Someone is coming in this way!" Quickly, Mashiro concealed herself in the darkest corner and waited quietly until that person was gone. Mashiro was glad that she only wore dark clothes today, it was easy to blend in the corner.

She heard footsteps behind her. Mashiro didn't dare to look who was coming as she only focused on not being caught. 

The unknown person stopped his footwork and stood still like a silent ghost as they also waited for the train to come by, like her.

At that moment the white-haired girl got curious. 

Mashiro quickly took a peek at who the person might be and wondered. The rural village she was living in with her mother was quite small in comparison to the bigger city. There was only a living handful of old people and a few children. Her mother was out of the question as she didn't dare to come out since it was very dark outside.
