"One..."
Vibrant pop music slowly started to play through the speakers.
"Two..."
Different shades of blue and purple lights shined down on an empty stage.
"Three!"
A single girl ran on stage, wearing an over-sized sleeveless Eskimo hoodie as a dress, pink and purple striped leggings and sleeves, leather gloves, and a pair of combat boots. With a press of a button, a microphone popped out of her ear piece. "Let's get this started!" She shouted happily as she waves to the crowd.
The crowd roared loudly with clapping and yelling.
She instantly extended her right arm towards the crowd, her index finger pointed up to resemble the number one.
"My number one: there could never be no one like you~"
Her voice was smooth and delicate. She then gripped her hair, looking distressed "How come I feel this way about-" she extended her arm out again, this time with two fingers up "My number two: Never tried to tell me what to say or do~
I'm so in with two~!"
She shook her head, as if troubled
"I don't want to push it~
I don't want to fight~
But this feeling keeps me up all night...~"
She then walked across the stage, making hand gestures towards the crowd and turning towards them.
"If I only could decide...
But I can't make up my mind~
I'm breakin' all my rules because of you~
You can tell me it's not right~
And it tears me up inside...
But the problem is I'm so in love with two...~"
...
After a few more songs, the young girl quickly ran of the stage and ran to the other side of the building where a bar was held. A few men were scattered across the stools. But at the very end, a man draped in red stood. He wore a red leather like jacket that split in the middle and ended at the end of his knees, a red like jumpsuit with many claps, metal legs that appeared to be gun barrels, an-to tip it all of a-red Stetson like hat. His appearance and glare were so intimidating that many of the customers say away from him. But the young, eighteen year old girl ran right towards him with a bright smile.
Seeing this, the man smirked slightly as the girl came and hopped in the seat right beside him, smiling brightly.
"So what do you think, Kidd?" The girl beamed up at him, her voice was slightly hoarse due to the singing.
"Don't talk. Yer voice is goin out on ya." he said, ignoring the question for multiple reasons: her voice was beginning to grow hoarse and also he knew it would anger her, and he could not resist the urge to pick a fight with the young woman.
And just like that, she fell for it and pouted "Fine..."
Kidd placed an arm around her and brought her in close. This made the girl blink but smile softly, rubbing her face against his side happily.
"I'll get your drink right away sir."
With the familiar voice close by, the young girl pushed him away, leaving the red man look at her bewildered.
The man who owned the voice walked over with a smile "Hey Haruko, great show!"
Haruko looked up with a smile, her sweat dropping "Hey Mordred!"
Kidd blinked and then when realizing the situation he huffed and folded his arms, taking a sip of his own beer.
"Here." Mordred placed an alcoholic beverage on the bar stand in front of her "Looked like you need one after that show."
She smiled and nodded "Thank you-" she had to clear her throat after saying her gratitude so loudly.
"Told ya not t' talk." Kidd commented.
Mordred looked over at Kidd "...MagnaKidmon."
"Dino-brat."
A subtle tension grew between the two.
Haruko laughed wearily before she took a long sip of her drink with a smile. "Ah...so much better..."
Mordred smiled and nodded, "Good luck with the rest of the show." He said as he tended to the other customers.
"Thank you!" She smiled as he left. When she leaned back to relax back on the stool she smile up at Kidd "Heh sorry..."
Kidd just looked ahead with a pout like frown on his frown "Hmm..." he took the last sip of his bear and placed it to the side.
She furrowed her brows "Sorry..." She leaned in closer to him "I just don't want him to flip out... You remember when we told him we were living together... I could barely hear for a week."
"Hmph..." He pouted more.
"Oh come on! You can't be seriously mad at me for this...not when I'm about to go back up there.." Haruko looked up at him with her bright blue eyes blinking cutely. She pouted her lips "Please Kidd..."
He then placed his hat on her head "Hush you..."
The hat fell in front of her eyes but once she lifted it up, she saw the tinged pink cheeks of a stubborn bandit. She giggle up at him and hugged his arm "Thank you~"
The rhythmic beat from the speaker radiated, causing Haruko looked up with a smile. She placed the hat back on his head "Now there's no way that I can have a bad show!" With a twirl, she was off towards the stage.
Kidd shook his head with a chuckle.
...
Kidd and Haruko walked home, Haruko softly smiling as she walked beside the silent bandit who tucked the far end of his three fingers in his jumpsuit like bodysuit.
Haruko noted that Kidd would walk at a slower pace so she would keep up with him.
The walk was quiet; no awkwardness, no tension, just blissfully silent. These were one of the few moment of the day that they were quiet. Where only the sounds of their feet were hold.
Once the two got home, it was a slightly different story.
Haruko plopped down on the couch, laying across it "Ugh... So tired..." She mumbled
"Ya've been sayin that since last week." Kidd commented, placing his jacket on the back of the couch.
"Yeah well I would sleep better if a spring didn't pop in this cruddy couch."
Kidd rolled his eyes with a huff "Well I told ya, ya can just sleep in my bed with me."
She flinched, her face instantly turning redder than her normal pale complexion "No way..."
He grunted "Then if ya gonna be stubborn bout it, then ya shouldn't be complain."
"I'm not complaining! Just stating facts..." she huffed "Sleeping in a bed with a guy must mean something different in your world than ours." She mumbled
"I know damn well what it means so Ya should get Yer mind outta the gutter."
"Well it's hard to when you have someone like 'Starr' that hangs around you!" She said, referring to her skimpy leather outfit that the female Digimon wore.
"Trust me, sweetheart, there's things even Bounty Hunters won't do for cash." he smirked.
Haruko held the glare for a moment until slowly cutting out to a giggling fit, that soon rubbed off on Kidd as he chuckled along.
Kidd smirked and sat beside the girl, just to move her as he shifted, positioning himself sprawled out of the couch and her on top of her.
"Can Ya feel the spring now?"
Haruko blinked and giggled, nuzzling under his neck "Nope~"
Kidd wrapped one arm around her to hold her close as the other one flipped TV stations as both looked over to the small TV.
...
Mordred unlocked the door to his home, the same home that previously belonged to Haruko, and was greeted with a giant grey lizard running up to him "Mordred!"
Mordred chuckled with the warm-almost over-whelming-greeting "Hey Bitemon." Mordred then pulled out a white paper bag "I got food~" he smiled, seeing his partners yellow eyes sparkle.
"Food!" Bitemon nearly tackled him to get to the bag.
"Down boy!" He yelled, but couldn't resist laughing while getting on to him.
After a moment of handing the dinosaur a total of two hamburgers, Mordres ate his, much smaller, bugger in front of his Partner.
"So did you tell Haru yet?"
"No Bitemon." he answers like he does every time he returns from work-weary and annoyed.
"When are you gonna tell her?"
Mordred shook his head "Mind your own business..."
Bitemon smiled widely "All my business is me being cooped up in here all day, so I have no business. Its more fun to get in yours."
Mordred could not lie about that one. He smiled sadly and and patted his friend's head "You got me there pal.. But you know I hate cooping you up in this place."
Bitemon blinked, and once sensing his tamer in distress, he smiled brightly "It's okay! I get to nap and eat all I want to!"
Mordred blinked and chuckled "Right!"
"So when are you gonna tell her?"
Mordred groaned, but for an instant, he thought about the question "...I dunno... After what I said it was a miracle we're still friends..." He said as he remembered the strike to his cheek when he brought up a forbidden memory to Haruko... Mordred shook his head and sighed "Any way, that Magnakidmon always hangs around..they're almost never apart so even if I did want to tell her, he's always there..."
Bitemon groaned in the back of his throat for his distressed tamer.
Mordred then smiled sheepishly up at his partner "No need to worry about that now though. I'm beat!"
After the two finished eating, Mordred went to his bed with Bitemon following.
...
Not too far away from either event, a red hooded figure stood on top of a building. A furious beast like monster loomed over her, drool pooling under its head.
"You can sense it to, Fangmon? The strong Digimon." The girl smirked "Let's see if they can survive the big bad wolf."
The dog beast lifted up its head, causing both Kidd and Bitemon to lift there heads-not disturbing either human companion.
