If there was one thing Kudo Taiki couldn't stand it was his mother and little sister at odds with each other. Breakfast was painful for the spiky haired burgundy teen as neither mother nor daughter would even look at each other. It was times like this that he actually wished his father wasn't so busy. The eight year old burgundy haired and sapphire eyed Kudo Seleste was very much her father's daughter and neither Kudo child had any memories of him, that's how busy he happened to be as a sports trainer. Generally Taiki ended up having to play mediator between the Kudo females. It wasn't easy on him either as he was generally the one Seleste came to after blow ups with their mother.
Seleste had a glare that would level grown men directed at their mother, " I'm not going to apologize for keeping you from being reckless. Contact sports are too dangerous for you, Seleste. "
" Do I need to name off every blind pro athlete? " Seleste fires back, " You're treating me like an invalid, you don't even let me pour my own drinks. How will I ever learn to live on my own if you keep sheltering me! " Seleste fires back.
Taiki winces, he had to admit his little sister had a point, that was why he worked with her on how to get along blind. She was getting very good at getting around with her cane and by echolocation as well. All because Taiki managed to find the time to help her.
Mrs. Kudo blanches at this, she hadn't thought that far ahead yet. Seleste finishes her meal and takes her dishes over to the sink, rinsing them off. Taiki smiles at this, she was getting much better at getting around. Next she packs up several sports drinks for her brother and hands the bag to him, Taiki blinks at this, " Aren't I supposed to take care of you? " Taiki asks her, slinging the bag over his shoulder before delivering the dishes to the sink and rinsing them off.
Seleste grins, " You would have forgotten them and you know it. "
Taiki smiles and runs a hand through her burgundy locks, " That's why I have you, imooto. "
Taiki grabs her hand and leads her to the door, the eight year old shoves her shoes on, and smiles as her brother leads her on a run through their hometown, heading for the site of his game. Her cane was folded up and attached to her belt. Taiki always made sure there was nothing that could trip her up when they went running. Her only wish was that she could see in the traditional sense. She could see auras and that was part of how she managed to get around without too much help and follow conversations easily enough. Her brother's aura was red, he was a very passionate person, not to mention very loyal. Loyalty, that reminded her of the betrayals Tsukino Serena had faced. It was hard for her to remember life as Serena when she was so much happier as Seleste, even blind.
Taiki gets her seated and the eight year old focuses on her hearing so she could work on filtering out unwanted conversations and hear only what she wanted to. That was when she remembered the plans Taiki had made with his best friend Hinomoto Angie. She was going to be steamed. Seleste pulls out her phone and calls Angie. She quickly explains the situation, pulling her brother's ass out of another fire he had inadvertently created.
Taiki blinks when he sees his little sister on the phone until he remembers about the plans he had made with Angie. Once she hangs up Taiki sends a thanks her way. Seleste waves him away, she'd do whatever she could for her big brother. She was grateful Angie had shown up when she did, saving her brother from a painful face plant on the gym floor. She makes her way over and sighs, " Kaa-chan really should worry more about Taiki than me. "
Angie giggles, she'd been regaled with all three views of the differences in opinion of the Kudo females and she had to admit, Seleste had a point. At least the eight year old didn't work herself to exhaustion. Soon enough Seleste has settled herself on her brother's lap while he and Angie talk while sitting on the front steps of a sports center. Taiki absentmindedly twirls some of her loose hair through his fingers as he talks to his best friend. Seleste liked cuddling up with her big brother and unlike most elder siblings he didn't shunt her to the side.
Seleste was just content to stay where she was until her head jerks up in surprise, Help me, please.
An orange sound wave type image appears in her head, unlike Taiki she recognized the fact that the speaking was telepathic in nature. " Did you guys hear that? " Taiki asks Angie and Tsurgi Jeremy. Taiki had stood up being mindful of his little sister. Seleste just snuggles in closer not minding the change in position, " I heard something but, probably not what you heard, Taiki-nii. "
Taiki switches his little sister to his back and races off. Seleste laughs at this, she loved it when Taiki did this with her. The eight year old wasn't so happy when he tackles his friends out of the way of a falling car. She'd barely been able to hang on, " Nii-chan! "
" Heh, warui(my bad), sis. " Taiki says.
Seleste sighs at this even as he moves once again. The eight year old drops to the ground as she hears the voice she'd heard once again. Clicking her teeth lightly she makes her way to her destination, slightly beyond what Taiki's was. Taiki looks up from the small red staticy being to see his sister picking up an orange one and making her way back over to him. Taiki pulls her to him once she's close enough, after letting her get used to his touch. He knew better than to just yank her for something like this. " I understand what you meant now, imooto. "
Seleste just leans into her brother while cradling the small being in her hands, thanks to her aura sight she knew said being was orange but that was it while Taiki's was red. She rolls her eyes as Jeremy and Angie try to convince Taiki the red being was dangerous. " Humans, do you wish to save them? "
" He saved us, of course I want to return the favor. "
" Mine needs help, I won't turn my back. " Seleste says.
" What are your names? "
" Kudo Seleste. "
" Kudo Taiki. "
" Take these Fusion Loaders. "
Seleste follows instinct and feels her hand wrap around something, Taiki can see the color come into Seleste's Fusion Loader, hers was silver. Angie and Jeremy try to stop him from grabbing his but his hand wraps around it, turning it red in color. The staticy beings are downloaded into the Fusion Loaders and then all four of them are unceremoniously dropped into the Digital World. Seleste shakes her head as she sits up, turning her aura vision down to low. This gave her shapes of what was around her. She grins as Taiki's new friend wakes him up and then they're caught up in a fight. Seleste instinctively dodges a Pteramon attack and Reloads her new friend, " Hey there, I'm Coronamon, and I'm ready to rock. "
Between the efforts of Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Starmon, the Pickmonz, and Coronamon they managed to drive off MadLeomon. Seleste doesn't even start when Taiki lays a hand on her shoulder, " Well, nii-chan, looks like we're in for a fun time. "
Shoutmon grins, " Taiki, I like your sister. "
Taiki groans at this, " Don't encourage her, Shoutmon. "
" Taiki, you're just as bad if not worse. " Angie states.
