Chapter 3

(three months later)

Kari walked out of the hospital three months after the accident leaning heavily on her brother's arm. Or at least that's what they told her he was. She still didn't remember it for herself, but then she didn't remember a lot of things. Ever since the accident three months ago and Kari waking up from her coma a month later, she hadn't remembered a single memory from before the accident.

Tai looked at his sister worriedly, knowing that she was going to have a rough time. That was why he asked TK if he would bring the homework from their classes and help her study, while also helping her with her memory since the two were so close. TK agreed, but also said that he wanted to look into why the car's break line was cut.

Tai agreed to that and didn't say anything on the subject but he knew whoever caused the accident would have figured by then that neither Kari nor TK had died. So when TK said that he would help Kari remember her past, Tai knew that he would also get her to understand why someone tried to kill them. That was if they ever figured it out themselves.

The problem was with Kari having no memories that made her an even bigger target than before so Yuuki told Tai that she would always be near the two of them in case they ever need her. Tai agreed and told Kari that she would stay with a friend of theirs until everything calmed down. Kari didn't know if that was a good idea or not but she couldn't exactly complain since she didn't know anything herself.

TK watched as Tai walked with his sister regretting that he was going to be putting Kari into the mix like he was, but he knew that whoever tried to kill them would try again. That was why he decided with Kitai and Rhayne that the four of them would have to be extremely careful. Rhayne had told them what had happened with her mother and TK saw that it was the same way with him and Kari. Someone wanted to get rid of him or Kari and they figured the best way was a car wreck.

"TK you sure about this?" asked Matt as they watched Tai lead Kari over to them "I mean whoever cut the brake line..."

"I know Matt, but until they figure it out it would be better to get Kari out of town and the best way is to go to where we lived as kids." said TK

"I hope so TK. Mom knows you four are coming right?"

"Yeah but we're staying in Rhayne's old house before she moved. Since it's still in her name." said TK "Plus I think we'll find some answers there."

"Just be careful." said Matt

"We will."

As Kitai and Rhayne waited for Kari to get off the bus, Rhayne looked at her home town and wondered where her mother's killer was right then. She knew that whoever attacked Kari would come again which was why they were there. Just then Rhayne saw the bus where TK and Kari were riding, so she nudged Kitai, who had fallen asleep and the two walked over to where they were getting off the bus.

"Hey TK, Kari." said Kitai

"Hey Kitai." said TK then he looked at Kari. "Look I'm going to go get our bags. Will you stay here?"

"I guess." said Kari quietly and TK walked away to the bus.

"You know you don't have to be afraid of us, Kari." said Kitai

"R-Really?"

"Of course not." said TK walking back to them with their bags.

"Alright." said Kari

"We should get going." said Rhayne.

"You're right." said TK and they started to walk across the bridge.

Kari looked around as they walked to Rhanye's house. It seemed like she knew the place but she didn't really know if she did or not. Just then they walked past a soccer field and Kari stopped.

"Kari?" asked TK noticing that she stopped. However she didn't seem to hear him. There was something about the kids playing soccer that seemed familiar but she wasn't sure what.

-(flashback)-

Kari sat at the soccer game watching her brother's team wipe the floor with the other team. However she was starting to get hungry and she told her mother. So the two walked to the concession stand and ordered their food. But as they were walking back Kari ran into a young boy, who was coming out of the restroom with his mother. When the two collided however the nachos that Kari had crashed into her chest causing all the cheese and chili to stick to her shirt.

"Oh man, I'm sorry." said the boy

"TK what happened?"

"It was an accident." said Kari.

"Are you okay Kari?" asked her mother

"Yes." said Kari. "I just have my food on my shirt." she smiled.

"Oh Kari." said her mother smiling.

"Here" said TK talking his coat off and handing it to her. "It was my fault anyway. I wasn't looking."

"Thanks." said Kari taking the coat and putting it

-(flashback ends)-

"Kari you okay?" asked TK

"Yeah, but can I ask you something?" asked Kari

"Of course." said TK confused.

"Did we know each other when we were kids?" asked Kari shocking the others.

TK looked at the soccer field, then at his girlfriend and smiled. "Yeah it was at this same field when we met. I was coming out of the restroom and you were walking from the stands. But we walked right into one another."

"And you crashed into me causing me to spill…my…nachos! I remember!" Kari said excitedly

"Anything else?" asked TK just excited.

"No it's still a jumbled mess, but I finally know I'm on the right track." said Kari

"That you are, Kari." said Kitai smiling at the two

"Let's head home." Said Rhayne and the four continued on their way, never seeing the shadow that seemed to be following them.

'He's just useless.'

'We'll handle it.'

'No Peid go handle it.'

'Yes master.'said Peid and he left.
