"Secret Revealed?"

"Please you must understand. She had a family emergency," Tai tried to explain to the person on the other side. He had spent the past fifteen minutes trying to explain the situation to the fashion company, hoping desperately to preserve Sora's chances at her dream. "Hello? Hello?" the only reply he got was the tone. They had hang up. Letting out a sigh, Tai fought the urge to hit something. Everything was going wrong. Sora's life wasn't suppose to happen this way. Things were fine… Tai's thoughts stopped there. The phone rang once more. "Hello?"

A sniff was heard followed by "Tai?" Sora had obviously been crying. "He… he didn't make it. I didn't even get to say good-bye or tell him that I do love him."

"Sora…. Do you want me to come over?" Tai finally spoke. He barely heard Sora reply in the affirmative. There was a slight pause then, "should I bring…"

"I'd like that. Father really loved her." They exchanged good-byes and soon hung up. Tai quickly ran out of his house and into his car. Driving quickly, and recklessly, Tai arrived at his destination in record time. He didn't take into account the extra car that was now there. Instead he pounded on the door and rushed in as soon as it was open. He called "Hitomi" as he ran though the house.

"What are you shouting about Tai? You can't just come in and act like that."

Just then a little girl ran out crying, "Uncle Tai!" She ran into Tai's arms and giggled softly. She lifted her head and asked, "Is mommy coming back Uncle Tai?"

"How about we go to mommy? Would you like that Hitomi?" Tai asked as he picked her up. He was just about to leave when he spotted Yamato. "Matt?"

"Tai?" Yamato stated in surprise. He had heard the little girl cry out "Uncle Tai", but he hadn't assumed it would be this Tai. "What are you doing here?"

Tai glared at Matt before replying, "I came to pick up my niece. YOU?"

"I came to visit Mimi." Yamato replied curtly. His eyes still captured by the little girl.

"Uncle Tai, aren't we going to visit Mommy?" Hitomi asked innocently.

Tai shifted his attention back to Hitomi and smiled. "Yes we are." They then turned and left Yamato staring after them.

Immediately after they left, Yamato spun around to face Mimi, his face obviously showing his want for an explanation. Mimi gave him a nervous smile before speaking. "Well… Hitomi actually isn't related to me. Her mother had been raped and my family decided to take Hitomi in when she was born. Though Hitomi's mother does visit at times, we are her legal guardian until her mother is able to take care of her." Then in a more careless manner, "I guess there are some problems with Hitomi's mother."

Yamato did not look convinced, but didn't seem like he would ask any more question. "I see. Well about our plan, do you want to meet at your house or mine?"

Mimi smiled, then cuddling (if you would call it that) closer to Yamato, "I think you can come and meet me. Neh?"

"Ok, then I'll come and pick you up later tonight?" Yamato suggested. Mimi smiled and nodded. Yamato stood up to leave, and Mimi soon followed. Showing him to the door, but she gave him a sexy smile before closing the door.

****SKIP AROUND***

As soon as Yamato arrived home, he turned on his computer and logged onto the internet. He typed in the name Hitomi and did a profile search on her. Cursing, he found there were far too many Hitomi for him to do it this way. He tried to come up with a last name for Hitomi, wondering if she would have Mimi's last name. Finally he typed in Hitomi T. and found fifteen girls. Smiling, Yamato congratulated himself in reducing the number of Hitomis. Going through these girls, he found only three which could be the Hitomi he was looking for, due to the age. He opened the files to these Hitomis to get more information on their looks and names. Surprisingly, he found himself blocked from accessing these data files. Again Yamato cursed. He had only the knowledge that there were three Hitomi T around the age of five in Japan. All other information would elude him until he could gain access into the data base. Which wouldn't be too difficult, as Yamato's close friend was sure to help him hack into it. Smiling, again, Yamato rushed toward his phone and dialed a number. A few minutes later, he hang up in frustration. His friend wasn't home and most likely will not be for a week.

Instead of pondering on Hitomi, Yamato decided to put his mind on a girl closer to his age and much more enthralling. His eyes closed as he let his imagination wonder, allowing him to dream about himself and his newest interest.

***SKIP AROUND…BACK***

As soon as Tai rushed into the emergency room, he took Hitomi's hand and lead her toward the doors. There sat his best friend and her mother. They had obviously been crying, but their eyes were now dry. Upon seeing Hitomi, his friend ran to him and took her daughter. Taking her daughter's hands, she led her toward the door. A few minutes later she came back without her daughter, but screams of confusion was heard through the door. Then a sob, followed by crying.
