Adventures Never End – Chapter 5
It was March 1999, a few months prior to the adventures of the group, and Tai was in the park, playing soccer with close friend Sora. They had been playing soccer out in the beautiful spring air for the last twenty minutes, and the duo were still not bored. However, just as Tai began to truely get into the game, his smile slowly faded away when Sora picked up the soccer ball and began to approach Tai. "What is it, Sora?" he asked quietly, when she was finally in front of him. "I have to go home now, Tai. We both live in the same block of flats so you might as well come too." A warm smile spread on her face, and she touched Tai's shoulder. "It was fun though, wasn't it?" Tai smiled sadly. "Exhilarating." The two began to head back home. When they arrived, Sora invited Tai in, to which he accepted the proposal, but decided to tell his mother where he was before she got worried. So, yards away, Tai entered the room. "Mom, I'm back!" he called out, dropping his bag on the floor and removing his beloved goggles, placing them on the table. Kari was sat curled up on the sofa watching TV, stroking their cat, Miko. As if she knew what Tai was thinking, she said, her eyes still glued to the television, "Mom is in the kitchen. Dad is still at work." Tai turned to look at her. "Hmm? Thanks, Kari." He enters the kitchen to see his mother stood over the stove, stirring the stew in the pot that steamed due to the excessive heat. Mrs Kamiya brushed a hand over her forehead with a deep sigh. "Goodness, that is warm. Welcome back, Tai – did you have fun at the park with Sora? How is she?" she asked. "Erm, yeah, Mom. And Sora is good. In fact, she has invited me over to her room. Can I go over?" he asked her. Mrs Kamiya kept her eyes locked on the stew. "Sure. I'll call her mother when dinner is ready, okay?" Tai grinned. "Sure, Mom!" he skipped towards her and kissed her cheek, then ran out of the room before quickly saying goodbye to Kari. Tai soon enters Sora's family room. "I'm back, Sora!" he called out. Sora enters the living room, beckoning Tai towards her. "Come on, we'll go on the computer!" Tai grinned, and the two went on the computer, Sora in control of the mouse. "Erm, Sora?" Tai began. "Yes, Tai?" she said. There was a brief pause in which Tai took a deep breath. "I keep having dreams about something that I think happened a few years ago." Sora turned to face him. "Really? What happens in these dreams?" Tai sighed. "Well, something about monsters and eggs or something, but before the dream ends there is always a massive blast of a sound and a lot of yellow, red and orange lights around the place. It's weird. And guess what? They happened around here! I really don't understand it." Sora shrugged. "Hmm, I certainly don't remember it – maybe you are confusing it for when the light is turned on before you wake up. Now THAT is what I call a bright blast!" Tai sighed, bowing his head. "I don't know... I can't help but feel it has a much deeper meaning to that. But what?"
