"Could you please pass the mashed potatoes, okaa-san," Kari asked.
"Here you go, Kari."
"Arigatou."
"So, um, Taichi, will you be staying here tonight?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"Um, I-"
"I asked Tai to spend the night mother."
"Tai?" Kari, Mr. And Mrs. Kamiya, and Tai asked in unison.
"I don't know. It just slipped out. It seems to fit, doesn't it?"
"Yes, I suppose it does," Mrs. Kamiya started. "So you'll be staying with us tonight, um, Tai?"
"Yes, that is if you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all. I'll have Kari and Sora prepare you a room after dinner."
"No, that wouldn't be necessary, Mrs. Kamiya. I will sleep on the couch."
"Nonsense. I simply insist you take the spare bedroom."
"Alright, if you insist."
"Alright, then it's settled."
"Alright!" Sora and Kari high-fived each other. Tai just blushed.

~~After Dinner~~
"So what do you think, Kari? Do you think it's him?" Sora asked as she and Kari made the bed in the guest room.
"I don't know, Sora. But I being his younger sister, I am practically positive it's him. But I don't know how to prove it to our mother and father. I'm not even sure how I can positively prove that's it's him myself. But Sora, you should know more than anyone other than his family. I mean after all you loved him since you were in diapers. It's sad that you guys were separated for a few years. But when you did come back, he was separated. Our family will never be the same. My parents, I suppose presumed he was dead. And we never really knew if that was true or not. We never found his body."
"Yeah. Then that means he is alive. Maybe he has no memory of us anymore. Maybe that's why he never came back. Maybe. But, Kari, I wish it hadn't happened...right before..."
"I know, Sora. I know."
"Know what?" Tai said as he came into the room.
"How long have you been there, Tai?"
"I just came in. Before what happened?'
"Nothing. Your room is ready. Good night, Taichi."
"Yes, good night, Taichi," Kari said, sensing her older sister's anger.
The two girls quickly exited the room. 'I wonder...' Kari thought as she followed Sora to their room.
"Sora, are you alright?" Kari asked her sister as she shut the door behind her.
"I'm fine, Kari."
"I know you're not, Sora. I know this is about Tai. And not the Tai from our past, the Tai sleeping in our guest bedroom. Sora, what is it?"
"I don't, Kari. But I'm going to bed!" With that Sora climbed into her bed at the bottom of the bunk.
"Good night, Sora," Kari whispered. She then went to the washroom and changed her clothes, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. Then she climbed the ladder of the bunk and slipped under the sheets of her bed.

~~Kari's Dream~~
"Good morning, Mama," Kari said as she walked into the kitchen that morning.
There was no response.
"Mama?" Kari called.
Still no response.
"Mama?"
"Your mother is gone, Kari," a voice said in the shadows.
"Who are you?"
"That is strictly for me to know, and for you never to find out!"
"Tell me where my parents are! Papa?!"
There was no response.
"No! What are you doing to me! Where is my family?"
"Gone. Gone. Gone. Just like Taichi left you! They all left you! You are no longer wanted, Hikari Kamiya!"
"No! Sora?!"
"She has left you. She is no longer with your parents either. She left everyone. Because she needed her precious little, Taichi. She left you, too."
"Sora would never leave me! She promised she would always be there for me just like a true big sister!"
"But you know that isn't true, don't you? You dislike that your parents took Sora in after her mother died. You felt they were replacing Tai, and you still feel that way. No matter how hard you try to fight it, you resent Sora. You hate her. You hate her! You HATE her!"
"I don't hate, Sora! Even if she isn't my blood, I love Sora as if she really was my big sister!"
"No you don't. You don't. You want Tai. You want Taichi! You want to have him there instead of Sora!"
"I don't! No, I don't! Mama!! Papa!! Sora!! TAI!!!"
~~Dream Ends~~
"Sora? Tai?!!!" Kari screamed as she woke up in a cold sweat. She looked down at Sora's bed to see if she had awakened her. Fortunately, she had not.
'What did that strange dream mean? And who was that? That voice. It feels so scared and lonely, but yet it's evil and cold. Maybe, I should get some air and think.'
Kari began to unlock the door to the balcony when she heard something outside. She peeked out the window and was amazed to see Taichi.
"Taichi?" She asked as she opened the door.
Tai flipped around startled. "Kari? I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"No. I had a nightmare."
"Oh. Would you like to tell me about it."
"Um, alright." And Kari told him about her dream.
"Your brother, huh? Well, does that mean Sora has a brother, too?"
"No." Kari said shaking her head. "She is my foster sister. Her mother passed away so my family adopted her. I was very resentful at first. I felt like they were trying to replace my big brother. But I guess it's okay. Now, at least. I'm ashamed for hating her that long though."
"Don't be ashamed, Kari. I would be resentful. Did I ever tell you I was separated from my family?"
"No, you didn't."
"Well, I was. And there was girl, too. I don't know who. I have no memories of her. I wish I did. She was very special to me. Even though I was only about six when it happened. But she was very special. My best friend in fact."
"She was?!"
"Yes, she was. And my little sister. She was the greatest. Always so cute, innocent, but despite her age she was very dependable even though she was only three when I got separated from the family. I don't know what happened to her though."
"You had a little sister! And you she was three when it happened?!"
"Yes."
"Oh my...um Taichi, do you remember if your parents ever organized a marriage for you?"
"Well, no I don't remember. But I can't say that it didn't happen because I don't have much of memory of my past."
"You don't. Well, let me ask you this. Do you remember anything of your little sister?"
"Well, yes. I remember I tried to get her to get this chocolate bar away from me and then she hurt herself and I said 'There, there, Kari, you'll be okay.'"
"Your little sister's name was Kari!"
"Yeah. Just like you."
"Oh my...I can't believe...what do you remember from when your family was separated?"
"Well, I remember this giant ball of energy coming towards my parents and my little sister. And a giant monster was throwing it."
Kari stood there in shock.
"Yeah, I know it's a little weird! But I remember a monster."
"You, you, you remember a monster?"
"Yes, as strange as it seems."
"Oh my...good night, Taichi." And Kari quickly opened the door back to her room.
'Oh my god...it was him! Oh I can't believe it!' "Sora, Sora, wake up!"
"What? What's wrong, Kari?" Sora asked as she lazily opened her crimson eyes.
"We have to wake mom and dad up. We have to have a talk."
