Finding Strength Within | Digimon Savers/Data Squad |

The car ride to DATS headquarters was, to say the least, silent and awkward. Yoshino's gaze was focused in front of her, her hands having a firm grip on the steering wheel. Masaru was in the passenger's seat beside her, his forest green hues taking glances up at the rearview mirror to check on the three individuals in the backseats. Tohru was seated behind him with Terriermon in her lap and Agumon seated beside her. Masaru's partner had kept taking quick glances over at the brown haired female every few minutes.

"Hi! I'm Agumon!" The giant yellow lizard greeted Tohru for what was actually the first time, giving her a big grin. Turning her head, Tohru returned the smile.

"Hi! I'm Tohru. This is Terriermon." If he hadn't been paralyzed, Terriermon would have waved at Agumon with his stubby little hand.

"I know who you are! Aniki told me all about you!" Agumon exclaimed though all he earned was a confused stare from Tohru, her emerald hues blinking innocently.

"Aniki..?"

"That's what I call my partner! He wanted to show me to you, but he was scared of how you'd react to seeing me!" Agumon explained, clearly referring to Masaru.

Tohru turned her gaze to the back of Masaru's head before he had shifted in his seat to stare back at her. "Really?"

"Ah, jeez! Agumon! Don't embarrass me like that!" Masaru groaned while sending a glare towards his partner, a very faint pink blush sprinkled on his cheeks that he hoped went unnoticed by Tohru.

"Sorry Aniki!" Agumon apologized before turning back to Tohru, still grinning brightly at the girl, who had started to giggle at their bickering. "Aniki was right though! You are really cu-"

Before Agumon could speak anything more, Masaru's hand had slapped over his mouth. The teenager had launched himself out of his seat and covered the talkative Digimon's yapper before he could finish his sentence. The blush on his tanned cheeks had darkened considerably, shouting curses at his airheaded partner. Tohru had flinched at this sudden action and unfortunately, it also distracted Yoshino and she almost swerved off the road. Managing to regain control of the car, she pulled over on the shoulder and put the car in park.

"That's enough, Masaru! Sit back down now!" Yoshino raised her voice over all the noise, turning in her seat and sending a demanding glare towards the now frightened Masaru. The younger teen quickly did as he was told and sat back down lest he anger her further. The magenta haired female let out an aggravated sigh and sent Tohru an apologetic look.

"Sorry for all that." Tohru smiled back as she sweatdropped in response.

"It's alright. I'm used to it." The two females shared a laugh while Masaru's eye twitched and a groan escaped his throat.

"Let's just get back to DATS! We gotta get Tohru and Terriermon looked at!" The hot-blooded teen complained, his annoyed glare directed more at Yoshino. Tohru's giggling ceased, a blush painting her fair cheeks red.

"Alright, calm down Masaru." Yoshino waved him off, not in the least bit intimidated by the younger teenager in the least. She shifted gears and after checking to see if it was good to go, she drove back onto the road and within the next few minutes they had arrived at a large building located on the far end of town. Tohru had never known that this place existed before, but then again she'd never been this far downtown either.
