When my eyes opened, I was in a white void. It was completely white.

"What the...?" I muttered as I looked around.

"I finally get to see you in person." Said a voice that wasn't familiar.

I looked around, but I saw no one.

But not when I looked ahead of me.

"It may just all be a dream, but it still counts." Someone said as a shoe formed in front of me. Then pants. Then the rest of the body. A man.

"....Dad?" I asked.

The man nodded.

"Look at you, kid! You look just like me!" He said, followed by a chuckle.

"Don't compare me to you!" I said.

My Dad's expression immediately changed.

"And why not? We're family."

"No, you were family. You've been dead for the longest time, Dad. I don't even know who you are except for the stories Mom tells me and Akane!" I said.

My Dad started walking closer towards me. I backed up just a bit.

"Kori."

"What?"

"Do you know my name?" Dad asked.

"Kazuki Kazumi." I said.

My Dad smiled.

"See? You know that about me."

"Yes, but just that!" I said.

Dad walked closer to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"But it's still something you know about me." he said.

Without thinking, I immediately tried to punch him.

My Dad dodged it.

"Alright. Let's see some moves, Kori!" He said.

"He wants a fight? Oh, he'll get one!" I thought.

So I gave him just what he wanted.

I ran at him and punched him right in the shoulder. My Dad just laughed.

Then my Dad tried to punch me, but he missed. 

But then something strange happened.

I saw him disappear. Like he just dissolved into thin air.

And then I heard a voice behind me.

"Teleportation, Kori." It said.

My Dad wrapped his arms around my waist and threw me into the air. Then he teleported in front of me and punched me so hard that I fell to the ground.

I blinked in pain and opened my eyes to see Dad falling towards me with a fist pulled back. Realizing he was going to punch me, I immediately rolled to the side as quickly as I could.

He barely missed me and hit right where my shoulder would've been. His fist caused a small crack in the ground.

I got up while I still could.

Dad tried to hook his leg around mine, but I knew that trick too well. Before he could, I kicked his leg down and ran to the other side of the void.

"How'd you do that!? It was like you ran at the speed of light!" Dad said as he got up.

"You have teleportation, but I have super speed!" I said.

Then, as we both pulled a fist back, a grin formed on my face.
