Secrets
Chapter One: Car Accidents
By: PhoniexChild
Kari Yagami was lying on her bed, thinking about the undeniable past. She could smell a freshly baked cake from the kitchen. Banana, of course. The laughs and playful yells of her younger siblings echoed through out the surrounding air, filtering through the open windows with the sunlight.
It was a nice, warm spring day. The sun shining brightly and gentle breezes made up the day. A perfect end to a Thursday, and soon the week.
The scent of the cake grew stronger as a breeze went through the house. The lovely scent of bananas entered Kari's room, tempting her. Though as much as Kari would love to eat the cake in a big, happy celebration of friends and family, that would not be. Every year on a certain day, today, Hanako Yagami, would bake a banana cake. The cake was always for the next day, Kari's older siblings' birthday. These other siblings were three years older than Kari, twins at that too. Today would be their sixteenth birthday. Now mind you, the twins weren't dead, just missing….for nine years. From what Kari knew her birthfather had kidnapped the twins when they were seven, Kari four. Her mother, actually, never told Kari of her older siblings, since she didn't remember them. She had one day accidentally found a picture of herself and the twins, in the picture she looked about two and the twins were about five. It was until Kari had found that picture that she thought the twins were something her mother and stepfather had made up, since she often heard them talk of the twins.
The fast paced steps of three-year-old Sakura Yagami sounded from the hallway.
"Kari!" Sakura ran into her older sister's room.
"Yes?" Kari said politely, since Sakura could be like a parrot at times.
"Momma want you ta go ta da store." Sakura grabbed Kari's hand and pulled her into the kitchen.
"Mom?" Kari looked at her mother, "Whatcha need?"
"Didn't Sakura tell you?" Hanako Yagami, hand on her slightly bulged stomach, looked at her youngest daughter.
Sakura smiled, shaking her head, "Need icing!"
"I thought we had some," Kari glanced at the cooling cake.
"So did I," Hanako moved the cake from the table to the counter, "guess not. SO could you, please, go to the store and buy some?"
"Sure, Mom" Kari sighed, now heading to the door.
"Me come?" Sakura followed Kari.
"No, Sakura, you can help me." Hanako took the toddler's hand and led her back into the kitchen.
Kari had just entered the city, Tokyo, which was a few minutes from her house. Kari had been fuming practically the whole ride. It's not like she didn't mind going to the store for her mother, just that Kari was thirteen now and could watch her siblings while her mother drove to the store. That would be much quicker, though it wouldn't happen anytime soon, considering that Hanako was pregnant again.
Kari neared the store and slowed down, the traffic would be terrible soon. After quickly getting two strawberry and one chocolate containers of icing, Kari headed for the park, where it would be safer.
Kari looked both ways, then began to cross the street. Suddenly, and oddly enough, out of nowhere appeared a car, heading straight for Kari.
"Oh, crap." Kari sped up in the direction she was going, since she was almost to the other side. The red car swerved the other way, bumping up onto the sidewalk. Kari had turned to watch the car and she also hit the curb, though she, unlike the car's driver, flew off her bike.
"Oof!" Kari landed face first into the dirt.
"Oh, my God!" the driver cried.
Kari looked up to see the driver running over to her. The driver, who was a female, looked like she was in her mid-teens. She had long maroon-purple hair, dark chestnut eyes, and slightly tanned skin.
"Are you okay?" the teen asked, kneeling next to Kari.
"Uh, yeah." Kari sat up.
"I'm so sorry. I dunno what happened." The teenaged girl explained quickly.
"It's okay." Kari got up, "Oh! My bike!" Kari's bike had lost it's front tire, which laid near by.
"Oh, well, I can give you a ride to wherever you were goin'."
"Thanks."
Together the teens put Kari's bike in the trunk, making sure it was sercure, then made their way to the Yagami house.
"Do you listen to this?" the older teen asked, turning the radio to rock, as they left the city.
"Sure." Kari looked at the driver. She seemed familiar, but strange at the same time. "What's your name?" she asked before she could stop herself.
"Cindy Last Izumi."
Kari let out a sigh of relief, her name wasn't Tamiko. "I'm Kari Yagami."
"Nice to meet ya." Cindy smiled.
"Same here. Question, is 'Last' part of your last name?"
"Yeah, I'm adopted."
"Adopted?"
" 'Izumi' is my foster parents last name."
"Ah." Kari listened to the music for a minute, "You're pretty open about that, huh?"
"Yeah, guess so. It's not a big deal really."
"How so?"
"Well, I've only lived with the Izumis for four years and they are more like parents to me than my birthparents."
"Oh. …..Is this your car?"
"No, my dad's. Thank God I didn't total it." Cindy slowed at a stop sign. "My brother's been hintin' that I might been getting' a car for my birthday."
"When's that?" Kari asked as the car began to move again.
"Tomorrow."
"Really?" Kari said as she thought, 'No way.'
"Do you have any brothers? Or sisters?"
"Yeah," Kari sighed, "two of each and my mom's pregnant again."
"Dang, big family."
"You have no idea." Kari looked out the window, "There's my house."
Cindy pulled up to the sidewalk. "Need help with your bike?"
"Sure." The two girls got out of the car and took the broken bike out of the trunk.
"Need any more help?"
"Uh, no, but thanks."
"No problem. I mean I almost run you over, least I can do." Cindy smiled nervously.
Kari laughed, "Well, bye."
"Bye." Cindy got into her father's car and started it up. "Maybe I'll see ya at school."
"You go to the local one? In the city?" Kari asked quickly.
"Yeah, see ya around I guess."
"Yeah. Bye!" Kari said as Cindy drove away. She picked up her bike and it's wheel, heading to her house. Though as she looked at her home, she saw her mother staring at her through a window.
Yay! It done!! please review!!! More 2 come later since disa 1 n the prologue were the only 2 I had posted on DigiElite.
