A?N: Quietly updating this because I never will post this update if I don't.
To my reviewers, these early chapters will remain as confusing as the first story Cacophony, mostly because Sayo's perspective knows as much as a canon blind reader. She will figure it out and so will we. Enjoy!
II.
Sayo had not known who Julia was beyond her name when they had met. To be honest, she didn't care. She was in a house and not kicked out of a lab.
You were kicked out for success and what comes with it.
"Surprised you didn't escape."
She looked at BlackGuilmon. "This place is better than there. Even I know that."
"I'm sure you know more than that." He sat by her tiny, bare feet, examining each slightly shriveled toe with a large white claw. "You aren't a stupid rabbit, are you?"
"Hardly either. I remember that." Oh, yes, she remembered very well.
"Why?"
Sayo shrugged. "I'm the older one." She tugged at a piece of long purple hair and shook her head, looking down at thin, bare legs. "But I'm also the weaker one."
BlackGuilmon traced her pale arm. "You don't have to be if you do not want to."
"I'm a girl," she pointed out.
"So is my Tamer."
Sayo hopped from the bed. "Fair enough. How did she know me?"
Black Guilmon drew her closer, picked her up by her tiny waist. "Easily. She's not on the best side of the law. And you won't be either. You're too determined."
"Is that a problem?"
The dragon only lashed his tail. "I love when retribution is carried out, my dear apprentice."
That was enough of an answer.
