A/N: This is the other fic for this week. I quite like it. passage, Garden of Eden's first book, is ready for viewing.
Something to note: Hikari is seven. Taichi is four and not her brother by blood. Takeru is seven. Yamato is four. Sora is seven, Ryo is seven, Jyou is eight. Koushiro and Mimi are six and Mimi's younger brother is born around this time. Osamu and Ken are seven. This one-shot collection/side-story is based on the movie short Hikari and Taichi were in. After that, the sequel is strictly AU territory.
Written for the "what if" challenge.

passage
1. A Beginning
Highton View Terrace, Hikarigaoka (August 1st, 1995)
It was late at night in the Highton View Terrace apartment complex and everyone was asleep. Well, almost everyone. A young girl known as Yagami Hikari, who was seven-years-old, was in her father's, Yagami Susumu, study staring at the computer as it was beeping and flashing red numbers.
"Huh?" Hikari questioned.
Meanwhile, in the room she shared with her younger four-year-old adopted brother, Yagami Taichi, was groggily waking from his sleep on the top bunk of the bunk bed he shared with Hikari. Taichi crawled to the ladder at the foot of his bunk and made his way down it, only to slip at the last step but quickly caught himself.
A few minutes later, Taichi emerged from the bathroom and was heading back to his room, when he noticed Hikari in their father's study. "Hikari? What are you doing in there? You know you're not supposed to play with the computer." Taichi stated, walking over to his older sister.
"But it's doing something weird," Hikari replied.
The numbers on the screen started to come together and form an egg that began to come out of the computer.
