How had it come to this? A question that repeated itself multiple times within her mind as she was seated within the dimly lit dorm room. She could still remember it vividly, as if it had only happened a few hours ago. After the eventful tournament hosted by the Seven Reikiko had decided to finally seek out her parents within the real world, stirred by concern as her motivation. After all, anyone would be worried if they say their parents being brutally murdered in a nightmare, right? In the end she had figured out how to return to Japan with the help of a certain benefactor, and after ensuring Kuro had been hidden well she decided to return to her home within Fukuoka.
Unfortunately for Reikiko the reunion she had desired was not the one she earned, for upon returning home, her body covered in a familiar long coat the girl's initial reception from her parents was one of concern and hope as they embraced her and asked her what had happened, where she had been and such. Of course she was hesitant to tell them about the Digital World, in the end would they even believe her? But if there was anyone aside from Kuro that she could trust, then it must had been her parents.
Clearly a naive thought only a child would have had... At first they were confused, almost even disbelieving her about the events she spoke of, until she introduced Kuro, leading to a rather amused reaction from both her parents but everything else went downhill from there. She first told them about her desire to create a future where nobody would be hurt by betrayal and lies, a noble ambition by itself, but her means were way too extreme, and they actually seemed to change their expressions to frowns as she spoke so passionately about the events involving the Seven and then she revealed her greatest secret: the existence of the Shademon.
A scream came from her mother, the look in her eyes almost akin to that of a frightened person who had just seen a grotesque monster, and yet when she tried to calm her down, reassure her that she was still the Reikiko they had known her father said something that had been the most painful thing she ever heard.
"Hurting people, forcing others to share your views, and THAT MONSTER?! What have you become?! You're not the daughter we raised!"
She was betrayed... betrayed by her own parents, the last people in the world she had still trusted, and now she was literally abandoned. Tears rolled down her cheek as she was seated on the bed, a blanket pulled over her and the Shademon. Small tendrils rose from the shadows, wiping her tears while the Shademon feed upon her sorrow and the despair that abandonment had caused her. Was Kuro truly the only one left in this world for her?
There was no return for her, especially considering that after her father said those words something snapped within her, making her feel as if she had a blackout, but by the time she returned she was outside on the streets and police cars were driving into the direction of her house...
Don't feel sad... they deserved it.
Did they? In the end they weren't wrong, she had changed from the girl they had raised and known their entire lives. But to make matters worse, she slowly started to regain her memories of what happened. The shadows lashing out violently as tendrils pierced into furniture, walls and... even her parents.
Do you regret it? Killing your parents?
It was an outburst, a feral rage that had been the result of the Shademon's influence upon her, and within the back of her mind the girl couldn't help but feel frightened at this. Shademon's power was intense, no doubt about that but to think she was slowly turning into a monster...
It wasn't my fault
Yet you didn't stop me
I didn't kill them
Yet you don't regret it
The mental conversation with the Shademon just continued to sway her deeper under her depression as she pulled the cover of the blanket over her entirely, sobs and cries coming from under it.
I'm all alone now...
You aren't alone, you got Kuro and I
And I'm not leaving until the day I claim your body as my own~
Was that the only future that awaited her?

[nospaces] YOU ARE NO EXCEPTION
The flight had been long enough. It was well into the morning now; the first inklings of sunrise were across the horizon. He walked, one foot in front of the other, but a road so familiar around the front of the university felt somehow, now, so bleak and different. The evergreen firs that had once stood a palisade wall between his dormitory and the remainder of the city now leered over him, illuminated like many-armed beasts beneath the twilight.[break][break]
Katsuro turned the key in the door, panting. A newfound listlessness had worked its way deep into him, he was sure; what was the point, now? All the former Osuzumebachi wanted to do was sleep, was to move on and have a normal life. But with memories, fragmented as they were, bearing mantles as skeletons in his closet and ghosts in his mind, the closer and closer he got to his epicentre of pseudo-normality, the more and more he felt like it was infeasible.[break][break]
He yanked the bag over the familiar skirtings of the door with a grunt. It was only a few things, some clothes and meaningless keepsakes he'd bought in New York. Consumerist distractions. They hadn't helped him forget. The student flicked a light on, and, as it always had, it thrummed a few times before illuminating the hall. The bag fell by his side and a wave of defeated exhaustion fell over him.[break][break]
In a zombie-like trance he could only just stumble to the bedroom and undress before collapsing onto the bed. Katsuro, however, for all his touted powers of observant, did not notice the lightly-weeping girl coiled beneath his sea of blankets and comforters, and instead toppled onto her with a considerable lack of elegance.[break][break]
As soon as his body touched something he had not expected, he sprung back up, stumbling backwards in a manic, sleep-deprived frenzy, toppling his deskchair and a couple of his desk portraits, typically of niche and 'famous' entomologist celebrities. He racked his brain for something to do, before grasping an unplugged desk lamp and brandishing it in front of him like a club. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. Something had to be said for the Hive. Had he not had his... experiences, he wouldn't have even thought to look for a weapon.[break][break]
"Wha-- who are you!?" Katsuro saw the shape stir beneath the blanket in the dim light of the Tokyo morning. "S-stay still. Don't try anything! I've got a lamp!"

Of course in her depression she had not noticed the owner of the appartement returning, or the approaching footsteps until it was too late. It was rather fortunate there had been a blanket between them, considering the condition of her 'attire' so when she found herself forced onto her back on the bed a soft yelp escaped her lips, cheeks flushing up slightly as she found herself flailing under the blankets while whoever, or whatever had toppled onto her had backed away, but while she was squirming in his blankets, desperately trying to break free from the figurative web, she heard the sudden words, making her body make a soft shiver.
"W-W-Wait a moment, if you do that I won't be able to see a thing with such a bright light!"
Obviously misunderstanding his words as him trying to shine a lamplight at her, perhaps to identify her, it seemed the Shademon decided in its amusement to help her out a little, tendrils rising out of the shadowy mass to help pull off the blankets slowly, till the girl's miss-matched eyes gazed up at the young man in disbelief, blinking softly.
"No... light? Why are you holding that lamp in such a weird manner? It's almost as if you are..."
The Shademon peeked from over her shoulder, eyes blinking lightly as the girl's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Y-Y-You're saying he was going to knock that thing over my head? That hurts you know?!"
The girl's complaining voice resounded through the air as she eyed the lamp warily.
"But my name is Reikiko... Tsukino Rekiko, I would say it's a pleasure to meet you, but I doubt I'm going to receive a 'likewise'..."
And once more depression settled in, making the girl turn around and try to sneak back under the blankets, as if disregarding the danger of the lamp. Clearly this was a girl with issues... Nevertheless, judging from the current situation it was unlikely the lamp was about to be the type of weapon Katsuro desired to have right now, in the end who even thought of brandishing a lamp at a near-naked girl? It certainly was a plot twist you'd never read in a manga!
"Maybe I'll hibernate for a few years until this 'Katsuro-san' returns..."
Letting out a long sigh the girl seemed to steadily be advancing the conversation at her own pace.

"W-W-Wait a moment, if you do that I won't be able to see a thing with such a bright light!" He lowered the lamp for a minute... what the hell was she talking about? Did she think he was going to shine it at her? Katsuro tried his best to hold the lamp a touch more menacingly. "No... light? Why are you holding that lamp in such a weird manner? It's almost as if you are..." His grip faltered as he saw... something else flicker in the darkness, move down to start to pull the blankets off. What the hell was going on? "Y-Y-You're saying he was going to knock that thing over my head? That hurts you know?!" What was she speaking to?[break][break]
"Y-yeah, well..." He was trying to channel the Hive, that wrath, that anger, that ability to confront. "You broke in here! W-why shouldn't I!?" The student stepped forwards. Something was shifting in the darkness. Given the month he'd had, it was almost unsurprising. A lurching uncertainty begun to churn in his stomach.[break][break]
"But my name is Reikiko... Tsukino Rekiko, I would say it's a pleasure to meet you, but I doubt I'm going to receive a 'likewise'..." She shuffled back under the blankets with the same kind of listlessness in her voice that he'd been speaking with. Why had she been crying in the first place? Why had she been here? "Maybe I'll hibernate for a few years until this 'Katsuro-san' returns..." She... what? How? How?[break][break]
"Hachi Katsuro," Katsuro mumbled his name disbelievingly out of pure politesse. This girl was clearly not a danger. Now somehow more confused, he shifted the lamp back onto the table and lunged for the light switch, illuminating the room in its entirety. "How do you know my name, Miss Reikiko? Why are you here?" He paused. "Are you waiting for me?!" [break][break]
Whatever had been 'helping' her had shifted away for a few moments, but that was not his concern. Katsuro had seen angels with laser talons and god-kings fall in the past few days. A girl with what was more than likely a Digimon partner in his bed was the logical explanation -- he wanted to know who'd sent her. A disgruntled victim of the Hive's 'justice'? Or another one of that 'Crow' man's lackeys?

"Whacking someone over the head is what you do to a burglar, I'm a visitor..."
The girl pouted softly under the blankets when she suddenly she heard a name, the man's name. So this was the Katsuro she had been waiting for? Turning around she slightly lowered the blanket to expose her face, looking back at Katsuro while she nodded her head feebly in response to the man's questions.
"I was waiting for you..."
The girl finally sat upright, letting the blankets properly slide off her, revealing the Shademon that was wrapped around her body as she spoke, her gaze cast into the eyes of Katsuro.
"Was told to visit you, something about you being lonely and needing a hug... or, was it something else?"
The girl tilted her head to the side in confusion, clearly seeming to try to recall what she was told before smiling weakly at him.
"Sorry about that, it's been my first trip back to the real world after being inside the digital one for two months... let's just say the reunions I experienced weren't pleasant."
She sighed loudly, finally rising out of the bed while looking at the man from a closer distance, while the Shademon continued to stare quietly at him.
"Umm... so is it true that you need a hug? I mean, since they asked me to make sure you're doing okay I umm... wouldn't mind giving you a hug if it completes my mission I guess."
She smiled briefly, cheeks flushed up lightly as she waited to hear his response. It seemed he had yet to receive the answers to his questions, but at least she seemed rather harmless so far, even if that Shademon was likely enough to send chills down most people their spines, the creature's gaze unblinking and unwavering.
