Oh who carez?
(Taichi's P.O.V.)
Four days ago, about the time of midnight. Ken's mysterious wife, Alfia died and I know how it feels cause my wife, Cassandra died four years ago. The pain, angst, despair, and loneliness you feel when she's gone hurts and you think you wanna die too but when you look at your kids, you'll sigh and think that if you die what will happen to them.
"Whaaa, Dad-daddy when is the storm going to stop?" My youngest son said whimpering as the thunder roars. He was nine and he was still afraid of thunder and lightning.
"Ye-yeah, da-dad when will it stop?" My oldest son asked. He was fifteen and he inherited my goggles but not my courage, I think, my wife said that he was a late bloomer so wait.
"I don't know, nature is unpredictable and so is death" I said which shocked my boys. "Look guys I don't know when I'll go so treasure each moment"
"Ah, Dad you're becoming like mom" Takato said looking a bit uncomfortable.
"Hm, I guess you're right" I said laughing a little. "Oh yeah tomorrow we'll fly back to Odaiba to grieve with the Ichijouji's like they did with us, no buts" and I retreated back to my room.

-At America-
"Now, now Ruki dear, stop acting like a spoilt child, you're fifteen for God's sake" a woman about thirty said to a redhead brunette girl. She was wearing a blue dress blouse and a long pink skirt.
"Heh, I'm not spoilt, I'm cold" the girl said. She wore a black tee-shirt with a white skull and blue faded jeans.
"Ruki, listen to your mother" a blond guy about twenty-six said. He was wearing a green vest with a black shirt and black faded jeans.
"Ye-yeah, Ruki" a brunette boy said hiding behind the blond. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit.
"Come on, Junpei, stop hiding yourself, she's your stepsister now" the blond dude which was her/his step/father said.
"Yeah Junpei, it's not like I'm gonna eat you or anything" she said. "Or will I" she finished, grinning wickedly making the boy jump and went right back behind their father.
"Ruki, stop scaring your *Half (Ruki Interrupted)* brother with silly jokes" the brunette woman which is his/her step/mother said.
"As if I was" Ruki murmured. "I'll be in my room if you wouldn't need me" she said and headed to her room.
"Oh yeah, Ruki dear, we'll leave for Odaiba tomorrow" her mom screamed from the kitchen.

-At Shinjuku-
"I wonder what bro feels right now" a brunette woman about twenty-five years old said.
"Why Kari?" a blond man said about the same age as her.
"Because Ken's in the same position he was three years ago" Kari said.
"Mom Takuya's being mean to me" a voice yelled and then appeared a young brunette about nine years old after her was a boy at fifteen.
"Takuya stop being mean to Ai" the blond man which was their father said.
"Kay dad, I'll stop" Takuya said standing straight.
"Oh kids, pack your stuff we'll be leaving tomorrow" Kari said.
Doooane!
