Chapter 5

Two months have passed since Kari got her more recent memories back and the four of them spent the entire time trying to find out who was trying to kill them. However the summer had ended and school was starting again. They had to go back to Obadia, without finding out the truth. So they were walking back to the train station when they passed by the police station. It was there that Kari saw a man that was familiar to her. Just then it hit her where she had seen him before.

"TK we need to talk." said Kari pulling her boyfriend to a stop. "All of us now."

"What is it Kari?" asked TK, wary. Ever since she got her recent memories back two months ago, Kari had slowly been regaining her younger memories.

"That man."

"What man?" asked Rhayne.

"At the station." said Kari. "It was him that I saw."

"What do you mean Kari?" asked Kitai confused.

"Of course." TK said remembering what Kari had told him when they were kids, though no one believed them. "Are you sure Kari?"

"Positive." said Kari then she turned to Kitai and Rhayne. "It was the same day I had met TK actually. My mom and me had gone to the station to get my dad for Tai's soccer game…

Kari and her mother walked through the station smiling at the friendly faces. Kari told her mother she had to use the restroom and Yuuko nodded. She told her to go on while she waited on her father. Kari said okay and she went to the restroom. However when she got to it she overheard some voices, one she recognized as her father's partner, Myotis.

"I don't care how you do it, just bring me what I want." said a voice she didn't know.

"Fine but my price just tripled. I can't have Susumu catching onto what I've been doing for you. That would ruin my master's plans." said Myotis.

"Whatever."

Kari backed away slowly but she missed a water spill and sliped. "Ow…"

"What was that?"

"I'll take care of it. Go Koru." said Myotis and he started walking toward where Kari was hiding. Just then she heard her dad calling her and was relieved when Myotis took off running the other way.

"Unfortunately no one besides TK believed me when I tried to tell them what I heard." explained Kari "I guess that as I got older that I forgot about it."

"Until just now?" asked Kitai.

"Yeah when I saw Kuro on the steps just now."

"We need to tell Yuuki and the others now." said Kitai and he pulled his phone out, but Kari pulled it out of his hand. "Kari?"

"Not here." said Kari, "I'm not sure why but I have a bad feeling. Let's just tell them when we get there."

"Kari's right." said TK. "There's something strange going on."

"Alright then." and the four got on the train never realizing just how close they were to the answer.

Tai watched as the people walked off the train as he waited for his sister. When she called two months ago and told him she remembered, he was extremely excited that he finally had his sister back. But he didn't know why she didn't want to come back earlier, even after he told her that everyone had missed her deeply. However after the connection he and Yuuki made between Kari's accident and Rhayne's mother's, he knew that Kari was right to stay and try to find out what was going on there. It wasn't until Kari called him and told him to look up a guy by the name of Kuro did he make the connection

Just then he saw Kari TK, Kitai and Rhayne walked off the train. Smiling Tai waved at them and they walked over toward him. Kari smiled at her brothers and hugged him, but he could tell that something was majorly bothering his sister. Nodding the four followed Tai outside the station just to see all their friends waiting for them.

"Sorry Kari, but they well…"

"It's alright Tai." said Kari smiling. "I knew that they would figure it out eventually."

"It's good to have you back, Kari." said Shuukou

"Well I'm glad to be back, Shuukou." said Kari.

Though she was smiling, Yuuki could tell that whatever Kari and the others had found in Heighten View Terrace, it wasn't good. However with everyone there Yuuki didn't want to say anything. She didn't want them to panic, which was why she just smiled and hugged her sister-in-law-to-be.

"It's good to see you Kari." she said.

"You too Yuuki." Kari said as she hugged her back. She leaned in and whispered. "We really need to talk. All of us that's here."

Nodding Yuuki let Kari go and walked back into her fiancé's embrace. Ken noticed the mood change, but decided not to say anything. Whatever was going on between them it was obvious that they didn't want them to know. He just hoped that it wasn't anything to do with the man who got his father and brother killed.

"So Kari, you ready for school next week?" Ken asked as they all started walking to their apartments.

"As ready as I'll ever be." said Kari, but Ken could tell that she wasn't despite what she said.

"Well we'll see you later." he said as the two Kamiyas, Toshiros, Rhayne and TK went inside Tai's apartment where Matt and Sora were already waiting. As Ken caught a glimpse of the two Ishidas' faces it was then that he knew something was going on and it was big.
