A/N: '….' Equals thoughts

Chapter One:

A Past Reminder

Kari Kamiya walked out to the schoolyard. She had heard that there was a new girl, in Yolei's class.

'Too bad Yolei's not here to introduce us.' Kari thought, searching for a new face.

"Hi," Kari said, walking up to a lonely, unfamiliar girl.

"Uh…hello." The girl said, slightly surprised someone was talking to her.

"I'm Kari Kamiya." Kari put her hand out in a sign of greeting.

"Michiko Takaishi." The girl said with a slight French accent. "Call me Chi." She shook Kari's hand.

"Takaishi?" Kari said bluntly, surprised.

"Yeah, why?" Chi questioned.

"Oh, nothing." Kari said, quickly.

"Hey, Kari!" Davis called, from halfway across the schoolyard.

Kari looked over and noticed T.K. was nearby. She compared him and Chi. Both had blonde hair, Chi was slightly shorter than T.K, and their eyes…T.K.'s were solid baby blue while Chi's were baby blue with emerald green around the pupil.

"I zink your boyfriend's callin' ya." Chi said with a sudden smile.

Kari laughed, she looked back at Davis and T.K. "Well, bye." She said turning back around to Chi, but the blonde girl had left.

Kari walked into her family's apartment; there she saw her older brother, Tai Kamiya, and his friend, Matt Ishida, sitting at the kitchen table.

Kari laughed, "Are you just now starting your project?"

Both teens looked up. Tai smiled sheepishly, "Of course not, Kari."

She rolled eyes, saying, "Sure," as she went to her and Tai's shared room to do her homework.

Just as Kari finished her last subject she remembered Michiko Takaishi. The girl looked so much like T.K. and Matt they had to be related. Assuming this she went to the kitchen to find Matt still there, though Tai wasn't.

"Where's Tai?" Kari questioned as she sat across from Matt.

"He went to the library." Matt sighed, "I just hope he doesn't forget which books to get."

"Matt, I've gotta ask you a question." Kari paused, hoping for permission to continue.

"Shoot." Matt said, reorganizing some papers.

"Um, well, are you related to anyone named Michiko?" Kari asked in one breath. 'Why do I care so much?' she questioned herself.

"Um…" Matt thought for some time before answering, "I dunno. Probably not, since I would know who she is."

"Oh." Kari tried not to sound disappointed. 'Why am I so upset 'bout this? It's not like I care.'

'One has been found. Found, though not revealed. Five of six still live. Five of six. One left. Only one…'

Kari had emailed Genni the night before about Michiko and her own suspicions, though she still eagerly awaited the answer.

"Hey, Kari." Yolei said as she sat at the lunch table.

"Yolei, how's that new girl?" Kari asked, innocently.

"Michiko?" Yolei looked slightly confused for a second, "Oh! Michiko, yeah she's new. Really quiet, too."

"Hmm." Kari tried to sound interested, but she worried if she should tell the others about her suspicions of Michiko.

"Ya know, Michiko looks a lot like T.K., I wonder if they're related."

'So I'm not the only one who noticed.' Kari looked at Yolei, "Who knows." She whispered.

Kari had gone over to Yolei's apartment after school, since Matt and Tai needed the apartment or so they said.

Yolei had just finished her own homework and was on the computer, checking her email.

"You're Child of Light, right?" Yolei asked, looking at Kari.

"Well, duh." Laughed Kari.

"No, I mean your email." Yolei said, slightly annoyed.

"As I said: 'well, duh'." Kari shoved her books into her bookbag and walked over to the computer. "Hey! How'd you get to my inbox?!"

"Well, 'Gatomon' isn't the best password in the world." Yolei pointed out. "Hey, Genni emailed you."

"Don't open that!" Kari warned as Yolei double-clicked it.

"You emailed Genni about Michiko? Why?" Yolei half asked, half demanded.

"She and T.K. have the same last name!" Kari said defensively.

"Oh sure, that's a real good reason to email Genni." Yolei remarked sarcastically.

"Shut up and move over. I wanna see what Genni wrote."

'So they have Genni helping them. Well, that was to be excepted. He will tell them about the others. About the final battle…'

Kari explained, to the others, about Michiko and what Genni had said. And Cody and T.K. had volunteered to watch her, while the others went to speak with Genni.

"So where, exactly, does Genni live?" Ken asked as the group walked through the forest.

"He said he was gonna meet nearby." Kari answered.

"Is that exactly what he said?" Yolei demanded, she was irritated by the millions of insects bothering her.

Kari nodded, sighing.

They walked on in silence for a few more minutes.

"Davis!" Yolei snapped, now greatly annoyed, "Stop making that noise!"

"Huh?" Davis asked, truly not understanding Yolei.

"That-" Yolei began, but was interrupted by Gatomon.

"Shh! Listen." Gatomon said softly.

"I don't hear anything." Veemon said.

"Quiet!"

Cody watched the girl named Michiko at a distance.

"T.K. did Kari say what Michiko's surname was?" the young boy asked.

The blonde boy looked up from his D-terminal. "Um..I don't think so. Why?"

Cody turned back to Michiko, "Uh-oh, here she comes."

T.K. hid the sleeping Patamon and Upamon.

"Hello," Michiko said, smiling slightly, her French accent a bit more intense than last time. "Are you friends with Kari Kamiya?"

"Uh, yeah. Why do you ask?" T.K. said, slowly.

"Oh, I just met her at school ze other day and I'm new in town. Plus after she left I saw her talking with you." She said, looking at T.K.

"Oh."

"I'm Cody Hida." The brown haired boy stood up and shook her hand.

"And I'm T.K. Takaishi." T.K. also stood up.

"You're last name is Takaishi?" Michiko asked, genuinely surprised.

"Yeah. Why?"

"So's mine."

"What's your name again?" Cody asked.

"Michiko Takaishi, though you can call me Chi."

"Okay, thanks."

"So where do you-" T.K. started to say.

"Michiko!" a woman's voice called.

"Oh, zat's my mother. I must go. Bye!" Chi said as she ran off.

After a short silence Cody said, "T.K., are you related to her?"

"I've never seen her before." T.K. answered, staring in the direction Chi had gone.

"Strange, you two look alike also."

"She has a French accent."

"So? That doesn't-"

"My grandparents are French."

"Oh."
