Digimon Savers Drabble Collection

By Infinity Blade

“Hope”

Characters: Yoshino, Masaru

When: Just after Episode 28.

Notes: For this particular one, it has a good chance of being contradicted a bit later on, but I wanted an excuse to write a bit around this time period and have some interplay between Masaru and Yoshino. As well, any drabbles I'm able to get in at under 300 words will also be tossed up on the Digimon Drabbles LiveJournal community. Unfortunately, no matter how much I tried, I was unable to get this one under that… so… yeah.

Yoshino frowned, staring up at the Digital World's night sky while dangling her bare feet in the water of the lake they had stopped by for the night. Her friends had all turned in for the night, resting after a long day of fighting before they resumed their search for Masaru's father and any hope of restoring their Digivices in the morning. Unable to sleep, the oldest human of the team was left with her thoughts.

 

Thoughts that, at that moment, weren't exactly what she would like to be dwelling on.

 

“The hell're you doin' up still?”

 

Yoshino jumped a bit, and glanced back to see Masaru leaning against a tree. “I could ask you the same question, you know.”

 

“I just want to get moving again, but I know Agumon and the others are pretty beat.”

 

“I see,” she said, looking back to the sky. “I still can't believe it. That Captain Satsuma…”

 

Masaru snorted. “Y'know, I've been thinkin'…”

 

“Oh no.”

“Funny. No, seriously.”

 

Yoshino gave a half-hearted smile. “Then please, enlighten me, Professor Daimon.”

 

“If we could beat that bird bastard and his buddies, even if it cost us our Digivices, how could they possibly KILL the Captain and Kudamon? I think those assholes are feedin' us a load a bullshit.”

 

Yoshino's smile became a little more genuine, and she stared down at her reflection in the water. “That would be nice…” She knew that she wouldn't even be where she was - wouldn't be WHO she was - if Satsuma hadn't given her a chance. The chance to do something important with her life…

 

If Masaru, who showed his anger at the claims of Satsuma's death more than any of them, could believe something like that…

 

“I'm sure of it!” Masaru said, punching a fist into the air. “Just like Ojiichan, Kamemon, and Dad… I'm sure they're all out there. We just have to keep pushing and keep hope that we'll see them again!”

 

“If only we could fight ourselves, still…”

 

“We'll find Dad and we'll find a way again. I know it. Or else-“

 

“What? You and Agumon will beat BioThunderbirmon and Kurata down with your bare fists?”

 

Masaru didn't say anything. She looked back and just saw him grinning like a madman.

 

Sighing again, though she was more amused than anything else by that point, Yoshino shook her head. “Masaru, you're the worst.”
