I flutter my eyelids, open to find my self in pitch black darkness, I wonder what has happened, and how long I have been out cold. My head turning stuffy as I franticly reel my head in search of what has happened. I bring my hands up to my eyes, then, I feel a soft fabric wrapped around my eyes.
As I nudge it more, I heard a faint and distant voice, but still audible, it was my sister, Jun. "Daisuke, your gonna be all right, your gonna be all right, right?" I heard he weep into what seemed to be a cloth, and it was damp showed that she had not just been crying this very moment.
"I'm ok Jun" I stated, making her head turn, and being surprised at what had just happened. Wishing that I could see her, I felt a bit of a tackle hug at me, as she pushed me onto, what I think, a bed. I heard footsteps, my other senses becoming stronger, due to the lack of sight I had for now.
I could hear a official sounding, voice, and a clipboard, with the soft sounds of a pen scratching on a piece of paper. Then I hear my parent's voices after it, my mom sounding like she was gonna gag, and my dad sounded a bit depressed. It was because I was here, And judging by the ways things were I presumed it was a Hospital.
"Why am I at the hospital?" making everybody in that room besides my self jump. "Well son" my dad started, "you were at school, and a fugitive had just escaped from the local jail for hijacking, and ran. He ran for quite sometime and was able to sneak into your school". "Well since your room was the closest he aimed for that," he heard his mom take over, " he ran in and grabbed your classmate, by doing that he made you furious, but when they grabbed onto Hikari, you just blew and charged at him".
"When you charged you just burst from the ground, he quickly grabbed something from his pocket, a knife" Jun was now talking, because his mother's voice had become more hoarse, from all the words that were spewing out of her mouth. " He knocked you back, and you hit from what we could tell a desk and 2 chairs, and fell unconscious"
"Armadillomon ran in just as Iori pulled out his katana. He was able to sneak in multiple attacks, but misstep and got sliced down the side. Takeru, also stampeded towards the fugitive, he punched him hard enough, while Patamon use his boom bubble to knock out the man, but it only succeeded in making him lose the knife."
"He was getting really desperate, and so he pulled out his lighter, during this time Tailmon was giving the man a run for his money, but couldn't make any real attempts to attack, as she would have hit Hikari" Dad voice rang up again, " Tailmon was able to back him near where you were, and coincidentally you woke up just as he got close, you jumped on, but he ignited the lighter, and the flames scorched your eyes, Veemon dashed in and made his head butt at the leg, Tailmon and Armadillomon attacked together and crushed him"
Then there was a deadly silence. "Well just unwrap my blinds, so that I can get out of here". I said, wanting to see sunlight again. I felt a hand gently unwrap the fabric circling my eyes, and I just stood there waiting for him to finish.
I waited, and waited, and waited. "Could you just take off the last piece so I can see?", then I just hear Jun and mom crying, dad sniffing, mom crying even more into dads shoulder. "The cloth is off….your blind Daisuke" I couldn't believe it, I was blind, unable to see.
Unable to see the light again, unable to see my friends, not being able to play the games I love, not being see my family, seeing nothing, forever, and every. Not being able to see the soccer or play in them. Unable to see her shining face again, that always brought my day up. Seeing Hikari, never more.
The Uncanny silence just penetrated through my every aching pore, I just sat there. Wondering how to cope with this new but very serious predicament. "Well what's done is done, I just hope that everybody at class was safe" I said with false happiness, radiating only a shadow or a weak replica of my original warmth.
Jun just hugged me, Mom just sat at the side of the bed, from the extra slope and weight I felt, and dad sat next to her, putting his hands around her shoulders. "Well mister Motomiya, since you are blind you will be staying here for a bit, learning how to manage with it, and giving you an eye seeing dog" he announced very very very soberly. For some reason I felt as I needed to be stoned right now, It might be my first time doing drugs, but with what's happening I would settle for a pound or 2 of any thing that makes you sleepy.
As I recalibrated everything that happened, I replied to the doctor "I don't need to have a seeing dog, I have a small blue friend that would help me" I hoped that he would believe me. "Ah yes, Veemon, I hadn't thought of that my self," he started, which surprised me, as I didn't even know he knew about digimon.
"How do you, what did, huh?" I was confused, which was a bit of an understatement. "Veemon cam rushing with you, but the doctors didn't ask any questions because he was so attached to you" Jun said soberly hoping that she wouldn't burst into tears again. Thanks Veemon, smiling inside. Then a new thought came into mind.
Daisuke, age 12, blind. The thought repeated in his mind continuously, driving him slowly insane. You had to be insane to be sane, and so being insane during this point of time in his position would mean that he was sane, but being sane during this time is being insane…but this is just a large paradox that his mind drove past of.
Dim whispers were passed between the doctors, and the parents, he knew they were talking about him, there was no way they couldn't be talking about him. Daisuke slowly raised him self from his bed, and then took the first step for his rehabilitation. He for the first time, felt very vulnerable, that if even the slightest thing went wrong, he would regret this for the rest of his life.
The first step is always the hardest out of all the millions he must take from now on. Slowly he placed his foot on the cold tile surface, it's slick glossy feeling penetrating every single pore in his foot, sending small chills up the nerves in his legs. Feeling secure on his foot, he placed the other foot next to it, scraping off the other half of the covers, while his other leg received the same treatment like his other leg.
Now or Never he thought, first step to rehabilitation or recoil and back to dreamland and none of this happened. He had done what he thought was impossible, stretching his own limitations he now knew, that his blindness was not a weakness, but a strength. It was strange learning all this from the single step he took.
If he learned all this from one step, think off how many more things he could learn with each step he took. His sister got up slowly and reached out for his hand, gently tugging him out of the room and into the hall way. He gingerly moved as he wondered what everything looked like. As he went down the hall, he heard small giggles, the laughter of children, the merriment going on in the short visit they were allowed.
Then sobs and cries were heard later on, those of sadness, but some of joy. He wondered if life was going to be just a random bunch of happiness and sadness. But he knew that life wasn't that easy, to start life, you have to end life. And Vice Versa. And that was the cycle.
As he started to slow down to a stop, he knew that he was near the destination he was appointed to. Here he went in, a small cozy room, by the feel of it. Brush carpet floor, could have used a bit cleaning, and 2 chairs plus a desk he lightly bumped into.
How did he know all this? He noticed more blind, then when he had sight. The chair, it was polished but, as he rapped it gently found that there was no core, it was hollow, and it was supported by the outside brace which was undoubtubly tough.
His shortcomings were so soon, this new revelation changed his on sight of the world.
In order to experience a sense must be lost in order to gain, this was what his life revolved around. This was his only meaning.
