Chapter 1 – The Creation of a Second Yamato.
Author's Note
The Tsubame Route came out, so that's why I haven't even tried to write recently, as I was WAAAY to absorbed in it, and this Chapter and probably most of this sequel will be in third person, as Yamato is in a comatose state now, so it'd be kind of ridiculous for him to narrate and know what's going on while he's in a coma.

All of the Kazama Family but Momoyo is outside of a hospital room, where Yamato lays in a hospital bed, in critical condition and in a comatose state after taking the meteor.
"What the hell was she thinking?" asked Miyako, enraged. "She almost killed Yamato!"
"I'm honestly surprised that he's not dead." remarks Chris. "That was a meteor that hit him, he should have been flattened."
"Yamato ran away far enough to not be directly under the meteor, which prevented from him being killed instantly." says Wanko. "But what was Onee-san thinking, doing something that dangerous to Yamato."
"Her battle libido must have gotten the best of her, like what happened on the 29th." says Mayucchi.
Capt. goes inside the room and looks at the heart monitor, which is barely showing any signs of life and walks out to tell the others.
"The heart monitor is barely showing any signs of life." says Capt., dejected. "I don't think there's a very good chance that he'll make it."
"How slim of a chance are we talking here?" asks Gakuto.
"I'd say probably 1-2%." Capt. replies. "The odds really aren't in his favor right now."
"Let's all go home." says Miyako. "Let's leave him in peace."
Everyone looks at Miyako, surprised, as they'd expect her to dive on top of him while he can't run away.
"This is…" Capt. starts to say. "Totally unlike you, I was expecting for us to hold you back before you dive on top of him while he can't run away."
"As much as I want to right now, I can't do that to him today, he's already been through enough." Miyako replies.
The Kazama Family leaves after that statement.
Thirty Minutes later…
Momoyo arrives at the hospital and starts fighting back tears in her eyes as soon as she walks into Yamato's hospital room.
She falls to her knees and starts crying, saying "What have I done? First I break is arm, now I just might have killed him!"
The heart rate monitor is showing rare heartbeats and little signs of life, which means he is on the brink of death, which makes Momoyo start crying even more.
"Why, why did it have to be this way?!" she asks herself, clearly infuriated with herself. "Why did I get so caught up in battle that I might have killed him?! Is this my punishment for my battle addiction?"
She gets up, and embraces Yamato, while crying in his shoulder, saying "Please, please don't die on me. I love you, I don't want you to leave me, I don't know what I will do if I lose you Yamato, so for my sake and everyone else in the Kazama Family, don't die on us!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave you." She thought he heard from Yamato.
"What, Yamato!?" she said, startled, and looked at him, but he was still in his comatose state.
"I'm going crazy, aren't I?" she asks herself.
"Yeah, you are." says a voice. "Especially since your sub-conscience just created me."
Momoyo jumps at the voice, and turns around to find Yamato, and says "Wait, Yamato?!" and rubs her eyes, just to make sure.
"Don't get me wrong, your conscience just created me; the real Yamato is still right there in his coma." says the Imaginary Yamato*.
*This is what I shall call the sub-conscience Yamato.
"My conscience…." She says. "Created you?"
"Yeah, you know, like when people are grief-stricken or have regret about saying goodbye or something."
"Wait, Yamato's going to die?" she asks dejectedly.
"I never said that." says Imaginary Yamato. "It's more up to the Real Yamato* whether he lives or dies. I was just giving an example; don't jump to conclusions so quickly."
*This is what Imaginary Yamato will call the Yamato in the coma, to avoid confusion.
"But seriously? A meteor? Are you that crazy? The Real Yamato doesn't practice martial arts, he's lucky he's just in a coma with several broken bones!"
"I've heard it from everyone, now I'm hearing it from Yamato himself!" exclaims Momoyo.
"Actually, I'm not Yamato; I'm just a sub-conscious image of Yamato, get it right." says Imaginary Yamato.
"Same difference." says Momoyo.
"Yeah, that's contradictory Nee-san, that makes no sense." Imaginary Yamato says and flicks her in the forehead.
"What the hell?!" exclaims Momoyo. "I felt that forehead flick and you're just acting like Yamato!"
Imaginary Yamato sighs and says "this is the last time I'm saying it, I am a figure of your imagination, therefore you imagined that happening, and you're sub-consciencly imagining the Real Yamato's personality and reflecting it onto me."
Momoyo looks at Imaginary Yamato, puzzled and asks "What?"
Imaginary Yamato sighs and sits down, saying "How in the hell can the Real Yamato put up with you for so long? I've been here for about five minutes and I've already had enough."
"Quiet Imaginary Yamato, I'm trying to figure this out." says Momoyo.
"Don't be like Wanko where black smoke starts coming out of your head from thinking too hard now." Imaginary Yamato replies.
After about five minutes of thinking, Momoyo finally says "Okay, I think I figured it out now."
"There's not much to figure out." Imaginary Yamato says. "I'm a part of your imagination, therefore you are sub-consciously imagining everything I do or say."
"Including that statement there?" Momoyo asks.
"Precisely." Imaginary Yamato replies. "It's all in your head; I'll most likely go away when either the Real Yamato dies and you finally say goodbye or when he wakes up."
"I wish you didn't say that first part…" says the dejected Momoyo.
"Well, you have to face the fact that he's either going to die, stay in the coma, or get out of it." says Imaginary Yamato.
"Damn you are blunt, even for Yamato." Momoyo remarks.
"Well, this part is more of your sub-conscience telling you the facts straight out, as I'm unfortunately more of a messenger for your sub-conscience." replies Imaginary Yamato.
Momoyo leaves the room after that reply and walks back home, with the Imaginary Yamato following her.
"Would you just go away?!" exclaims Momoyo.
"I can't, I'm part of your imagination, I can't go away in a flash." replies Imaginary Yamato.
Momoyo walks off, ignoring Imaginary Yamato, who is right behind her.
She arrives at the Kawakami Temple, where she immediately goes to her room and lays down on her futon, saying "Well, I'm really going crazy, aren't I?"
"No, you're not going crazy; it's more like your sub-conscience is trying to save yourself from your grief and depression by creating me."
"Yeah, whatever." She says half-heartedly and goes to sleep.
End of Chapter 1
