Destiny's Road

Saturday Morning - Uncle Seki's

Tai had just woken up to the wonderful smell of eggs, bacon and pancakes. He looked at the clock to see that it was 7:30am. He groaned, realizing his sister was an early riser.

"Man, why couldn't she be like me, and like to sleep in on the weekends. No school means no getting up early," Tai groaned again.

"Because there is a lot of stuff we have to do today. You said that you were meeting your friends for some big weekend event. Which means eating breakfast, showering, cleaning this place up a bit, and we need groceries. Not to mention the fact we both need jobs if we are both gonna live on our own once Uncle Seki comes back," Kai stated. "C'mon, breakfast is ready." With that Kai walked back down to the kitchen, and Tai blinked once, before jumping off the bed and racing downstairs to eat all the mouthwatering food Kai cooked for him.

It was 11am by the time they finished everything they had to do, before spending time with Tai's friends. They had both applied for jobs at a local bar on the weekends, but as cleaners when the bar closed. It was the only place hiring, and the woman in charge decided to give them a chance.

"So where are we meeting your friends Taichi?" Kai asked.

"At the park. We're suppose to meet each other at 1pm, but lets go now, before I get antsy." Tai went to the bathroom first, and Kai went to the front door.

As Kai opened the door, she saw Kari who was just about to knock.

"Hi. Can I help you?" Kai politely asked.

"Umm. . .I must have the wrong place. I'm looking for my older brother," Kari answered back.

Just then Tai walked up to Kai, and noticed Kari standing there. "Kari! What do you want?" Tai bit out, still upset that she turned her back on him.

Kari started to cry, and said, "I came to apologize. I am so sorry for everything. I never should have treated you that way. Please forgive me Tai. I miss you so much big brother. . ."

"I can't just forgive you, just like nothing happened. You really hurt me Kari. Maybe someday I can totally forgive you. But for now, it's enough that you apologized."

"So will you move home? Maybe dad will come around too?" Kari asked hopefully.

"No. Kaiba and I are gonna live together."

"What about T.K.? I thought. . . ." Kari trailed off.

Tai laughed. "Kaiba is our older sister. She's my twin." He knew he could have said it a bit better than that, but it's more fun to shock people.

"Our. . .sister. . .twin. . .what?" Kari was flabbergasted. There was no way her and Tai could have an older sister. It was always just her and Tai. Where has she been all this time? Why has no one told her about Kaiba? She voiced these questions to Tai and got her answers.

"First off, it's Kai. Only I'm allowed to call her Kaiba, just like she's the only one allowed to call me Taichi. It's just our thing. And she's been in the Digital World, after she got kidnapped. Apparently when we were all pulled in the first time, so was she. She had her own adventure. And we didn't tell you about her because we were all so upset when she was gone. We didn't know where she was, or what happened to her. It was just too painful to talk about," Tai growled, fists curling as he relieved the memory of finding out Kaiba was gone.

Kaiba put her hand on Tai's arm, "I'm here now Taichi. Let's go to the park. Kari, you can come too. We're meeting Tai's friends. Plus I would like to get to know you better. I haven't seen you since you were a baby."

"I can't. I have to get home. Another time." Kari left, and began to run home, and tried to process the information of having a sister.

She also decided to call her parents on their weekend getaway to get the full story.

When Kari had left, Tai and Kai began to walk to the park. They ran into Sora on the way there. Sora and Tai didn't know what to say to each other, and Kai looked on bemused. Finally, Sora broke the silence, still not looking at Tai.

"I'm sorry Tai. I got carried away, jealous and angry. I wanted to have someone to love, and for someone to love me, but I ended up hurting my best friend. I am so sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me Tai."

"Maybe one day. But I can hardly forgive someone who can't even look me in the eye when they're apologizing. Which tells me you aren't ready to forgive yourself. I think you need some more time to yourself, to put everything in perspective. Now if you will excuse me, me and my sister Kaiba are going to the park." Tai and Kai left Sora to her thoughts.

Suddenly Sora looked up. "Sister?" Sora began to laugh. "Trust Tai to keep that a secret. I'm glad he still has some family that won't let him down. Sora walked back to her mom's flower shop, determined now to make things right between her and Tai and her and Matt. 'Maybe get Matt and Tai together as a way of saying sorry. I see those looks Matt gives to Tai when he thinks no one is looking,' Sora thought. A smile graced her lips, the first one since Matt broke up with her.

Back to Tai and Kai

"Do you think you will forgive her?" Kaiba asked.

"Someday I will. But if I know Sora, she's determined to win my friendship back," Tai answered.

"Ugh! Why would she want to hang out with a freak like you?" Davis sneered behind them.

Kaiba growled, and was just about to slap the twit, when Tai held her back.

"What is your deal Davis?" Tai asked, tiredly.

"My deal? My deal! You were my role model, and you totally blew up my world."

"Davis. I never meant to blow up your world. But you have to understand, being gay doesn't mean becoming a totally different person. But I think now you need to focus on what you want, and not be like me. You need to be yourself," Tai told Davis, and then grabbed Kai's arm and walked away into the park, leaving Davis to contemplate his words.

"Wow. That kid really looks up to ya," Kai commented.

"Yeah, maybe a little bit too much," Tai said, giving Kai a sidelong glance. "But he needs to think for himself, do for himself. He needs to realize that I didn't ruin his life, I'm living my own."

"I know Tai. So where are we meeting your friends?"

"Over by the fountain in the middle of the park." They began to walk over there, when Kai saw a Dickie D's (A/N: Anyone remember those. I used to love when they came around in the summer filled with ice cream goodies), and decided to grab them both some ice cream. Tai went to the fountain to wait. When he got there he saw blonde hair, but couldn't see the person because of the water. He ran up to the person thinking it was T.K., but stopped when he saw it was Matt. Matt looked up to see Tai. The Tai that was always with him, plaguing his dreams and thoughts. Without thinking, Matt grabbed his "illusion's hand", and pulled him down. He looked deeply into his eyes, and Tai began to get upset and weirded out at Matt's intense gaze. Slowly, Matt leaned over and kissed Tai on the lips. The kiss was passionate, but quick. Matt and Tai both pulled back, realizing what had just happened. Matt spoke first.

"I'm sorry Tai. I thought. . .that. . .you were an illusion. You have been plaquing my dreams and thoughts, and I don't know why. All I know is I want to be close to you again, and . . ." Tai stopped Matt.

"Matt. . .sigh. . .I can't. I'm with your brother, and you hurt me more than anyone else. I don't love you anymore, and I don't want to be with you in any sense. Not as friends, not as lovers, not as boyfriends, not as anything. Do you have any idea how bad you hurt me? Do you have any idea how I felt, and what I've gone through after that. No you don't! Just stay away from me. If you ever come near me, I'll slap you, punch you, kick you, whatever I have to do. . ." This time Matt stopped Tai.

"Remember when I kept trying to push you away, but you never gave up on me. And I'm not gonna give up on you. I will do whatever it takes to win your friendship back, the way it used to be," Matt smiled, and then leaned down and kissed Tai lightly, before walking away, and swaying his hips, hoping Tai was watching. Which he was, but Tai shook his head and looked up to see Kai looking at him and then at Matt.

"Well have a seat. It's a long story."

An hour later

"Wow. So you're sure he's not gay?" Kai asked.

"Yeah. Well that's what he said. Plus there was the whole freaking out and hurting me stuff," Tai sighed.

"Well it looks like he finally came to terms with all that. Maybe he really is gay, but he's confused. He just needs time."

"You don't understand. I will never forgive him. Besides, I'm with his brother now," Tai yelled, and then immediately regretted it.

"I know your sorry that you yelled; but never say never. I think you should tell T.K. everything that happened here as soon as you see him. Your feelings when Matt kissed you, everything. Be honest. I'm gonna take our garbage to the trash. Be right back."

As soon as Kai left, Tai's friends showed up: Mimi, Joe, Izzy, Yolei, Cody, Ken, and T.K.

"Alright, ready to go Tai?" Mimi asked.

"Just gotta wait on my sister."

"You forgave Kari. Prodigious," Izzy said.

"Actually I meant. . ." Tai started.

"Me! Kaiba Kamiya, Taichi's older twin sister. But call me Kai," Kai finished, standing in front of the group of friends.

Mimi and Joe fainted. Yolei and Cody just stared, and Izzy and Ken couldn't seem to wrap their minds around it. They kept trying to come up with something to say, but failed miserably. As Kai tried to revive Mimi and Joe, Tai took this moment to pull T.K. aside.

"T.K. we need to talk," Tai stated with seriousness in his voice, and hope in his eyes.

That's it for this Chapter. Next chapter will focus on what happens when Tai uses the recovery chamber, and what will T.K. do when Tai tells him the truth. Will Matt stay true to his word? Will Tai forgive him? Will Kari get to know her sister? All this and more to come.

As always, Review Please:p.
