NB: I have a quote from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in this chapter, I don't own that either. - Just in case someone wants to sue for that. Oh, and in my opinion, Daisuke acts a lot like Romeo in this chapter, that's not good, coz I don't like Romeo.
"Nice to see you have arrived, Taichi!" exclaimed Jyou Kido as the Kamiya party entered the room.
Taichi laughed. "As if we would not. You know it is an important event for Hikari and my mother, not to mention Miss Ishida."
"Even if you are late."
"Fashionably late."
"If you insist. Come, Miss Ishida, we shall introduce you to some of our guests."
Taichi watched as Jyou took Yamato and his mother around. He could not help noticing how beautiful Yamato looked in that dress.
"She looks nice doesn't she, Tai?" asked Hikari, all too observantly.
Taichi turned to his sister. "Of course you'll say that. It is your handiwork afterall."
"Taichi!" he heard Sora call.
"Evening, Sora." He said as she approached with another girl in tow.
"Taichi, I have a surprise for you." With that she pulls the girl forward. "Guess who this is?"
"Your new victim of torture?"
"Very funny, Tai. No. This is Miss Ishida, Miss Takeru Ishida."
Taichi turned to her in surprise, with a closer inspection, he saw that she did look like Yamato, with blond hair and clear blue eyes, so much alike, yet so different from Yamato's.
"This is certainly a surprise! Miss Takeru, I do believe I know of someone who would be most delighted to see you. If you would be so kind as to remain here, I shall fetch her presently."
Just as he said that, he heard Jyou speak.
"Miss Ishida, and this is my wife, whom I believe you have met before - "
"Takeru!"

Takeru Ishida turned around and was met with the sight of her sister, whom she believed was in York. This glowing eyed lady in front of her was definitely her sister, but how much she has change! Takeru left behind a gloomy sister, who, though she was beautiful, more often than not marred that beauty with a sad and depressed expression on her face. This sister who stands in front of her, in contrast, had the biggest smile on her face and looked for all the world to be fully enjoying herself, which she had never really had a chance to back home.
"Y-yamato?" Takeru asked timidly.
The sister in front of her nodded and Takeru smiled brightly, stepped forward and hugged her sister tightly.
"What are you doing here, Yamato? I thought you were engaged to some horrid man back in York?"
"I was." Stated Yamato, "but I ran away." She proceeded to tell her story, ending with "and that is how I came to be here, but I thought you were in Bath!"
"I was." Said Takeru, copying her sister. "but I returned yesterday."
"I hate to interrupt, but perhaps we should continue this another time, when there are less people listening and when we do not have to allow your sister to meet as many people as possible." Said the man who was with Yamato, Lord Kido.
"That is fine. I shall call on Yamato at Lord Kamiya's tomorrow morning."

Daisuke was annoyed, greatly annoyed, for not only does it seem as if Hikari, the object of his affection, though to the rest of the world, not, had forgotten about the fact that he had proposed to her and was refused, therefore nursing a broken heart, but one of his friends is an admirer of her. He knew, logically, that Hikari was behaving like this so he would get over her faster, but that did not mean that he had to like it. Hikari was talking and laughing with a large number of men and seemingly enjoying herself greatly. That was bad enough, however, Ken, supposedly his friend, has decided to join the mob of admirers around Hikari. He dimly noticed that she was not the only girl with a mob of admirers, that pretty girl who was posing as Taichi's cousin, for one, also had one, though she did not look as comfortable in it as Hikari. This however, did not dim his dislike for his friend at the moment. It seems that Ken really did break his engagement because of true love and that it was really Hikari's fault, for Ken looked as if he was in love with Hikari! He had decided to fully revel in his dislike for his friend, when something suddenly caught his eye.
He turned towards what had caught his eye and saw something that made him forget everything that he had been annoyed about for the last few minutes. He now knew that Taichi was right and he had not been in love with Hikari for he "ne'er saw true beauty till this night." As he continued to stare at the blond beauty in front of him, he realised how alike that Miss Ishida staying at Taichi's this girl was. This couldn't possibly be that long lost sister who had gone to Bath, that is too much of a coincidence, but the likeness was there.
"Hello, Dai are you there?"
A voice interrupts his thoughts, a voice he did not want to hear five minutes ago, Ken's voice.
"Hello, Ken."
"So, what had you so absorbed that you could not hear me the first time?"
"I am not telling, however, you can tell me about how you had your eye on Hikari the whole time and never told me." Daisuke countered.
"Why tell you when I know it would make you hate me. Though now it seems that it is safe to tell you for you seem to have found a new object of affection."
"She is not an object of my affection, she is my true love."
"Sure, Dai. Love at first sight." said Ken disbelievingly.
"Fine, don't believe me. I'll prove you wrong."
"If you must."
