Taichi Yagami stared at his reflection in the mirror. He knew it was the right thing to do. It's his duty as a citizen to serve his country, right?
He smiled at himself and started posing. "Damn, I look sexy." He said out loud to himself.
Hikari walked into her older brother's room and laughed as she watched him pose in front of his mirror. Hearing his sister laugh he turned around to meet her sad eyes.
"Hey, Kari." She sat on his bed and cross her legs. Taichi smiled at her. She always looked like a little girl when she did that even though she was sixteen almost seventeen.
"How do I look?" he asked. She shook her head and replied, "Like an idiot."
He stopped smiling and looked at her. Hikari took it the hardest when he announced that he joined the military. He walked over to her and sat next to her. She looked down at her feet. He gave her a pat on her head.
"Kari, I'm sorry for joining the military and not telling you about it, but that was my decision." She looked at him with tearful eyes.
"Why? Why did you have to join? Dad worked really hard to keep you from being drafted, so why are you joining? You don't have to do this!" she looked down letting the tears fall.
"Hikari." She looked back up at him. He never used her full name unless it was serious. He was looking out the window.
"Hikari." He said again and then looked at her. "I'm doing this for our country, our family, and most of all for me. I wasn't drafted because of dad but what about all the men that were drafted because they didn't have someone protecting them? Do you think I feel right letting that happen and knowing that while I'm here at home, safe and cozy while guys who weren't as lucky are out there in the cold fighting for our country?"
"Taichi…" she whispered. He shook his head.
"Kari, please understand. I don't want to be here doing nothing. I want to give my life some meaning." Kari hugged her brother and cried.
"Tai, please! You'll get hurt or you'll die! Please Tai, please!" she cried. Tai hugged her back and felt his heart break. He hated seeing Kari cry, he hated it even worse when he was the reason she was crying.
She pulled back and looked at him. "What if you die? I'll never see you again!"
"Hikari, I promise you with all my heart that'll I'll try and come back safe and sound."
She shook her head. "Don't you dare make that promise to me Taichi Yagami. Don't you dare. You will come back from this war alive and well." Taichi chuckled.
"Okay, Kari. I will come back and I promise I'll write to you." He replied getting up.
"Everyday?"
He smiled at her. "Everyday."
She watched as he took his bag and walked out of his room. She followed close behind. They walked into the family room and headed to the front door.
"Taichi, you don't have to do this." Tai looked at his father.
"Actually dad, I do." He replied. His father glared at him.
"Damn you, Taichi! I went through hell and back to keep you from being drafted and this is how you repay me!" Tai merely shrugged and replied, "I never ask you to do that." He watched as his father's face turned red with anger. Susumu Yagami stood up and left the room, several minutes later a door slam was heard.
"Sweetheart, please take care of yourself." his mother told him as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Tai nodded and looked at his sister one more time.
"Tai, please be safe. Please." She took off her locket and handed it to him. Tai nodded and put it on.
"I'll never take it off." With that Tai opened the door and walked out closing the door behind him. Hikari felt her heart break as the door closed. She ran up stairs and opened her window. The military car had already started driving off. She took a deep breath and yelled, "You better come back Tai!" She saw Tai smiling and waving good bye. She waved back, knowing from that moment on her life was going to change for forever.

"Daddy! Mom!" Keisuke winced as he heard his daughter's screams. He faced the general.
"Let her go! She has nothing to do with this!" He yelled. The general gave him an evil smile.
"Wrong, my dear friend. She's everything." Keisuke clenched his hands. He wanted nothing more but to hit the evil man in his face. The two men behind him held him down when he tried to stand.
The general paced around the small room. "You see, Tachikawa Keisuke is the richest and most influential man in this country."
"What's your point?" Keisuke replied through clenched teeth.
"Unfortunately, the war is not going in our favor at the moment." He stopped in front of the table and looked Keisuke directly in the eyes.
"You, Keisuke Tachikawa, will give your country the money and support it needs for us to win this war."
"On what grounds?" He yelled. The general motioned for one of the guards.
"Go get her." He ordered. The guard nodded and came back several seconds later with Mimi Tachikawa in handcuffs.
"Mimi!" Keisuke shot up, but was forced back down into his seat. Mimi's eyes filled with tears.
"Daddy!" the guard placed a cloth over her mouth. She struggled for several seconds before collapsing to the floor.
"Mimi! What have you done to her?" yelled Keisuke looking down at his daughter horrified. The guard picked her up and held on to her.
"Just a little something to keep her quiet." The general replied glancing at the girl and then back at his prisoner. "Beautiful girl." The general stroked Mimi's cheek. Keisuke's face turned red with anger. He wanted to shoot the general on the spot for even laying a finger on his daughter.
The general smirked. This is exactly the reaction he needed. "It would be a shame for something to happen to her." Keisuke dropped his head, several tears fell.
"I'll give you the money and my support." He looked up at his daughter. "Just please don't hurt Mimi. Please let her go." He pleaded.
The general grinned. "Wonderful! Tomo, take Tachikawa to his home for him to gather his belongings. We'll head out in about an hour." He turned around and walked towards the door. When Keisuke yelled, "What about Mimi?"
The general turned around and gave an evil smile. "Mimi, will be kept under military custody. Just in case you decide to change your mind." And with that he walked out the door.

"Hey, Tai." Tai looked at his best friend as he climbed into the military car.
"'Sup, Yamato." He turned to see his sister looking at him as the car started driving away.
"You better come back Tai!" she yelled. Tai smiled and waved his final good- bye to his sister as the car turned the corner.
"How'd it go with your parents?" asked Yamato.
Tai shook his head. "My dad cursed at me for a couple of minutes before shutting himself in his office, my mom broke down crying, and Kari… well she hates me for joining but she's the only one who really understands me right now."
Yamato nodded slowly. "Same with mine. Tk says he's joining when he turns of age in two months. Practically gave my dad a heart attack."
Taichi looked at his friend with surprise. "So Tk's leaving in two months? Who's going to watch Kari for me while I'm gone? I don't really trust Daisuke by himself with her, y'know."
Yamato shrugged. "You should've asked Shinya."
"What about Shinya?" Taichi and Yamato turned to look as one of their friends, Kanbara Takuya climbed into the car.
"Tai, should've asked Shinya to keep an eye on Kari while he's away since Teeks is joining up in two months." replied Yamato.
Takuya chuckled. "Still don't trust Daisuke?" Tai shook his head.
"Hell no. The guys' in love with her practically, he'll do anything for her. And knowing my sister that can be very deadly."
"What good would Shinya be? He thinks Kari's cute and plus Shinya's joining up too."
Yamato placed a hand on Tai's shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. Kari's a big girl she can take care of herself." Tai looked out the window and watched as his town became a speck in the distance until he could no longer see it.
"Hope you're right, Yamato. I hope you're right."
