"Hmmm…" Daisuke rolled over in his sleep, "Man, Dark, I had the weirdest dream."
There was no response.
"Dark?"
"Daisuke! Darling, get up we have to go shopping for school supplies!" Emiko's shouts reached his room.
"But mom, we did that last week!" He moaned, climbing out of bed and descending the stairs to the kitchen.
The girl sat at the table eating the eggs that were set in front of her, "Uh…Good morning," Daisuke mumbled thinking to himself, "I thought that was a dream but I guess not…"
"Kari," she said.
"Excuse me?"
"My name…" she enunciated as if she were speaking to an incredibly stupid child, "is Kari."
"Oh!"
She rolled her eyes and finished off her eggs. "Okay honey here's the plan," Emiko laughed and she placed a plate of eggs for him on the table, "Kari is going to be pretending to be your cousin who moved here from Kyoto. She's going to be living with us and going to school with you alright?"
"Uh…uh…"
"Oh and you guys have to stay close together, because her heart is intertwined with yours!"
"What?"
"Oh and don't be surprised if Dark doesn't talk with you for a while, he used a lot of magic last night combining your hearts!"
"What?"
"Alright then, let's get going!"
"WHAT!"
Kari stood up, and followed Emiko towards the door, "Hurry up, Daisuke," she said turning. Her piercing blue eyes made contact with his chestnut ones. Shivers were sent up and down his spine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh you look so cute! Don't you think so Daisuke?" Emiko asked happily.
"Uh, sure mom," Daisuke mumbled. To be truthful he couldn't see a thing because of the stack of clothes for Kari piled in his arms. If you looked at him all you could see were the tips of his red, gravity-defying hair.
Kari stood in front of them glowering in a bright pink skirt and frilly, white shirt, "I hate pink."
"You're just like the daughter I never had!"
"I hate pink," she repeated.
"Alright, let's go buy everything!"
"It's hopeless, when mom gets like this you should just go along and deal with it," Daisuke said from behind the pile of clothes.
"Hurry up, you two!" Emiko called from the line, "It's almost our turn!"

They were too busy to notice they were being watched by someone. "Who's that girl Daisuke's with? She seems familiar…" Satoshi trailed off.
"I'm surprised that you haven't already mentioned that you're attracted to her," the voice inside his head whispered.
"Shut-up, Krad, and I am not," Satoshi lied.
The girl turned as if sensing their presence, her bright blue eyes scanning the crowd at the mall. Satoshi's heart beat faster as he gazed at the bright-eyed beauty; jolts of electricity pulsing through his body. "You are most definitely lying." The girl turned away from them again, her long black hair swishing with the momentum of her walking to catch up with the Niwas.
"Maybe I should go back to Daisuke's school…just to keep an eye on Dark," Satoshi thought to himself.
"Of course that's the only reason you want to go back," Krad said sarcastically. "Although it is a little nice to see her again."
"What do you mean 'again'? You know her?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I know her quite well. I knew her three hundred years ago when your ancestor fell in love with her…"
"What?"
"You could call it part of the Hikari curse, but whenever one of you sees her you fall in love. She's been cursed by you as well."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man I can't believe that summer vacation is already over!" Daisuke moaned, flopping onto his bed.
"I can't believe I'm stuck with you until we figure out how to break the curse," Kari muttered, packing her backpack for the first day of school the next day.
"What is the curse?"
"I can't die."
"How is that a curse? Some people would do anything for that and you don't like it?" asked Daisuke, staring at her like she was insane.
"You haven't been through what I have, you have no idea how bad my life was," she hissed, turning and storming out of the room.
