The Day the Sun Came Out

Part Three: Could it be Him?

A/N: Yes, I know Sora doesn't have a little sister! I'm sure you all know what is going to happen don't you? You know who the little "sister" is, huh? And I'm sure you know what's going to happen next! I hope you'll enjoy it!

Dedication: This is still to Taiora's Daughter to make up for my really, really, REALLY bad fic "Should Love Feel This Way." I hope you are feeling this!

Sora gasped. "Oh my god..."
"What? Why are you gasping? Did I do something wrong?"
"No. I just thought that, you were some, oh no way, um never mind that is truly impossible. I think I'm starting to hallucinate or maybe I'm being a bit to hopeful It's just you look and remind me so much of..."
"Of who, Sora?"
"Never mind. Forget about it. Let's go meet my family now."
"Um, I hate to admit this, but I'm nervous about meeting your family, Sora. What if they don't approve of you hanging around with a homeless-hobo like myself? They might kick me out and you might get in trouble and I don't want them to blame you for something you weren't responsible for. I'm probably not a very popular house guest...especially since I haven't been in someone's house since I was six." Taichi told the girl His eyes full of worry and concern.
"Don't be nervous. My family will love you," Sora began, 'As much as I think I'm falling in love with you. What? I can't love him. I'm in love with someone else, right?' "And they would never think of you as a homeless-hobo! They would never kick you out and they would be happy to have you so stop worrying about it! I won't get in trouble and my parents won't blame me for anything! And now that I've noticed, you seem more open, talking freely, very often and a mile-a-minute if I might add." She snickered at him.
*Taichi sweat-dropped*
"I-I um, I-"
"Forget about it Taichi. It's okay. Well, here we are."
The two Japanese teenagers stood outside the tall apartment building.
"This is where you live?" Taichi said a bit dazed. Almost acting as if this was Princess Sora's castle and he was the prince. He blushed at this.
"Yes, on the sixth floor. Come on I'll show you." And she led him to an elevator in the lobby of the apartment building. Sora pressed the six in the elevator and they made their way up to the sixth floor. There was a slight ding from the elevator as it reached the sixth floor. "Well, Taichi, we're getting closer to my home."
"Yeah, and every time we do get close I feel so...I can't do this Sora."
"Onegai, Taichi-chan! Onegai. Just this once. And you promised."
"Okay. But I'm still scared your parents will get angry with you bringing me home."
"Like I said before they won't!"
"Uh, I-"
"Here we are! Apartment 6E. Konnichiwa, to my home Taichi-kun."
Tai looked dazed. Afraid, but excited. He didn't know what to expect.
"Daijoubi (Spelling?) Taichi-kun?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"Okay. Well, here it goes then." Sora turned the knob of the door and a soft click was heard as the door opened.
"Your home is beautiful," Taichi said as he stepped into the small, but very cozy apartment building.
"Thank you."
"Um, is the rest of your family here?"
"I don't know. Their shoes aren't here. Well, my little sister's are. That means you can meet my sister! Have a seat on the couch and I'll be right back."
"Um okay." Taichi replied a bit uncomfortably.
Sora walked down the hall to the bedroom she and her little sister shared. She knocked softly on the door.
"Come in," a girl called.
"Hi!" Sora said ecstatically to the younger girl.
"Why are you so happy," the girl asked a bit glumly.
"Well, I found this really nice guy on the street and I-"
"Wow, Sora, you have a new boyfriend. That's wonderful."
"Well, first of all, he is not my boyfriend. He was homeless. And second of all, what's wrong with you? I've never seen you so glum."
"Nothing is wrong. And you brought him from the streets?"
"Yeah. Mom and dad wouldn't mind, right?"
"Probably not, knowing them. Always happy. They always forget about him."
"Oh, Kari (You knew that was gonna happen, huh?! LOL!) the y didn't forget about him. They just want to push it to the back of their minds so they won't have to put up with the pain."
"They're cowards, Sora."
"Don't say that. They're your mother and father."
"Whatever."
"Well, would you like to meet the guy?"
"No. I want to stay here and stare at pictures of my REAL sibling! The one everyone has forgotten! Even you! And you were his best friend, too, Sora! I can't believe you would do such a thing!"
"I didn't forget him!" Sora yelled and ran back to the room where Taichi was waiting.
"Gomen, Sora-chan. I caused you trouble with your sister. Daijobu?"
"I'm fine, Taichi. My sister gets very sensitive when it comes to her, ano, lost brother."
"She lost a brother?"
"Hai. And I lost my best tomodachi, too."
"Gomen. That is an okashii coincidence."
"I suppose. Well, I have to start on dinner."
"Matte."
"Nan da?"
"Can I help?"
"Hai," Sora smiled.
Kari made her way down the hall and peeked into the kitchen where she saw Sora preparing dinner.
"Sora, where is the salt," Taichi asked.
"Asoko," Sora said as she pointed to a cabinet.
"Kore de?" Tai asked holding two wooden shakers on his hands.
"The one on the in your left hand."
"Oh. Arigatou," Taichi said as he flushed a little.
"You're welcome."
"Um, Sora, I know this may sound rude, and hazuku shii desu ne, but where is your washroom?"
Sora laughed. "Down the hall, second door to the right."
"Arigatou."
Kari saw him walk towards the hall where she was standing. She moved aside and he stopped immediately. He stared straight into her amber eyes. And she stared into his chocolate brown eyes.
"Do I, ano, know you?"
"Lie." And Taichi sped off to the washroom.
"Sora?"
"Hai, Kari?"
"Gomen, Sora."
"Shinpai shimasu, its no big deal. I understand."
"Demo, it is! I yelled at your for no reason."
"Would it make you feel better if I said you're forgiven?"
"Hai."
"Alright, Hikari, you are forgiven."
"Arigatou, Sora-chan. Is that the boy you were talking about?"
"Hai."
"Oh. He looks familiar."
"I noticed that when I first saw him. That's why I brought him here. For some reason I feel comfortable around him. Like I'm safe , or something."
"Honto, me too."
"Wow."
"You don't think-"
"There is a possibility, Hikari. There is also a resemblance.
"Yes. I see that. Demo, many people could look like that."
"Hai, demo, his name is Taichi. Or he says that's what he remembers."
"Really? Honto ni?"
"I suppose. But I don't know that for sure. We'll have to wait till mom and da get home."
"Alright, Sora. I remember you two. Well, only a little since it happened when I was so young. Anata tachi wa sugoku no kawaii."
"Stop Kari! But I don't know. I do feel the same way I did when I was around my best friend. I feel loved. I feel love."
"That sounds suteki."
"I suppose. Demo, don't sit there and do nothing. Help me."
"Okay."
'So I am familiar to the two girls. Maybe they are from my past,' Taichi thought to himself as he stood in the shadows of the hallway as he had heard most of the girls' conversation.
~~30 Minutes Later~~
"We're home!" Sora and Kari's parents called as they came in.
"Hi mom! Hi dad!" Sora and Kari said.
"Hi sweetheart. What smells so good?"
"I prepared dinner for us," Sora said. Kari cleared her throat. "Oh yeah, and Kari helped, too."
Kari smiled brightly.
"A little," Sora snickered. Kari glared at her playfully and the girls started laughing.
"Sora, usually when you make dinner you want something. What is it?"
"I, ano, I want you too meet someone."
"Who? Sora do you have a boyfriend?"
"No. He has recently become my tomodachi. I found him on the streets." Her parents gasped and were about to protest, but Kari cut them off.
"Dad, he looks like him. And he even has the same name."
"Kari, we've been over this your brother had probably died."
"How do you know?! We never found his body! And this may be him! And if anyone can recognize him, it's me! I knew him more than anyone other than Sora! Mom, dad, onegai. Just meet him. You are his parents. You would know him."
"Alright," his father said without emotion, but with a glint of hope in his eyes.
They walked to the living room where Taichi stood looking at pictures that were on the table.
"Hello, young man," Mrs. Kamiya said approaching the boy.
He flipped around a bit startled. Mrs. Kamiya looked shocked, but her husband looked a bit skeptical.
"Hello, Mrs. Kamiya, Mr. Kamiya. It's nice to meet you." He said as he shook their hands.
"It's nice to meet you as well, um, young man what is your name? And how did Sora find you? And why were you living on the street?"
"I don't remember much about my past. I was six when I was, uh, separated from my family, actually they abandoned me and took my little sister with them. And Sora found me on the street when we accidentally ran into each other. I don't remember much about myself from the past except for a few memories of my sister and mother and a giant bolt of electricity or energy or something like that. I don't remember my name, but I remember one day being called Taichi I think it was by my mother. I think that is my name."
Kari, Mr. And Mrs. Kamiya feel silent and gasped. Sora only had a look of confusion, shock, and worry on her face, but hope in her eyes. He could be the person she fell in love with, when she was only three years old.
