Hey Everyone! Yes! I am finally updating this fic after the long long wait! Well school just started for me today so I'll write as much as I can before I have to go to homework, and other un-summery things. You know I just need like one more week of summer. That would be great. Actually, I was getting kind of bored. All of my friends were gone on vacation so here I am. Sitting at home. Flipping through channels when all the little kid shows are on lol. So well, enough of me complaining, here is the fic... enjoy. (oh p.s the illness well you'll see I kind of made half of it up because I wouldn't know where to start looking for some really hard to spell scientific naem for that if it even exists! So if you know an illness close to this or soemthing PLEASE tell me for now I'm just gonna call it what it would usually be and um, yeahh you're confused right? Well read the fic and I'm sure you'll understand. ) happy reading!

"Oh No!" Oh no what!" Tai called from the side of Sora's bed. He clutched her hand, preparing himself for an answer he didn't really want to hear. Something bad had to be happening. He could tell by the worried faces on all three doctors.
"Well Son..."The older doctor started his sentence, but Dr. Hendricks finished it for him."She has a very, well, rare illness. There are only about 20 records of people having it in the past decade. Since this illness is so rare, doctors haven't been able to study what the illness does to the body etc, etc."
"Go on..."
"I'm sure you have guessed by now, but there is no cure."
Doctor James took over once again, seeming to be annoyed by Dr. Hendrick's stalling."Sora here has a type of Amnesia.( Mhmm enemy word and unfotunatly I'm on my laptop with NO spellchecker! And I have no clue where the dictionary is! AH!)"This amnesia, though, is not like regular amnesia. It works in a very strange way. The longer the paitent stays sick, the more and more he or she forgets. If the paitent is not cured, then it is unknown how much they will remember, depending on strength, and all of that."
Tai just stood there grapsing Soras hand in his sweaty one. He looked down at her, tears helt back in his eyes. The room was becoming blurry as more tears formed.
"It's ok son..."Dr.James tried to comfort Tai."But right now, we should inform the girls Mother or Father of her current state."
"Well,"Tai started."Theres a problem... We don't know where her mother is."
"The father?"
"He's always away on buisness, it's long distance."
"Well, I would think a responsible father would like to know what is happening to his daughter. Do you know where he is working?"
"Yeah, somewhere in Tokyo, I think."
"Ok, we can try to track him down. In the meantime, why don't you get some rest sonny?"
"Ok doctor..."
As the doctors left, Tai allowed the tears to fall from his dark chocolate eyes. He was going to stay with Sora for as long as he could. She couldn't forget about all the adventures in the digi-world, all of her friends, and him. No no no! Searching the room for a cot, Tai let these sad thoughts take his whole mind over. As he was setting up his bed, he let more tears swell up in his eyes until they started to sting. It's the worst feeling in the world knowing someone you really care about is hurt and theres nothing you can do about it. Laying down, the boy realized how mush his legs still hurt. The doctors had checked him out and thought they were only a few deep cuts. His mind, and bandaged leg, seemed to disagree. Something else was wrong with it.
As Tai closed his eyes, the horriffic images of the afternoon engulfed his peaceful sleep and turned it into one big nightmare. The running, the blood, His best friend looking lifeless on the ground. He remembered staring up into that bitches face, the one who had hurt Sora, the one who would pay. His eyes, empty and as cold as ice. Never had he seen anyone look more evil. The grin on his face as he stood over Tai was terrifing. Slanted teeth and smoke like breath. Breath...breathing...It was getting harder to breathe!
Tai awoke and boosted himself up, sweating from that twisted dream. He took his blanket in his hand and wiped his forehead, making it cool once again. Standing up Tai cringed from his leg which had fallen asleep. Oh how he hated that feeling.
The light moon in the window seemed to be calling him over. Kind of obeying, Tai schuffled over, looking up into the dark night sky. All of the stars reflected off of Tai's dark eyes making them glisten. A tear drop fell and dripped down his cheek as he walked back over to Soras bed. She still hadn't woken up. Well, why would she it's...Tai glanced over at the clock... 3 in the morning!
The boy stretched as he fell back onto his cot. Now that he thought about it, it felt like sleeping in a tree. Nothing could be more uncomfortable, but being here with Sora made it worth it. No way he was leaving her alone again with some mad man running around on the streets. Well, it could be worse. The police could still think it was him, but after Sora calling him her best friend and a good word from the doctor, they had let him go. He'd probably be sitting in a jail cell right now if it wasn't for them.
Another yawn escaped from his mouth as he slowly fell back into a peaceful sleep.

"Wake up son! Wake Up!" Tai awoke to the soud of Doctor James calling to him. "We got a hold of Sora's father!"
"Yawnouuuuu did?"
"Yes we did kiddo come on!"
Tai hopped off his cot, rubbing his back slightly as he felt it crack. Following the doctor to the phone, Tai wondered what they needed him for.
"He wants to talk to you Tai..." The younger doctor informed.
"Oh... alright." Tai took the reciever "Hello?"
"Oh hello Tai... wow I haven't talked to you in ages. How are you doing?"
Tai knew what he was trying to do. Trying to make him tell some false truth that his daughter was ok. Mr. Takenouchi didn't like to be told what he didn't want to hear, after all being the owner of some company out there, if there was bad news, no one wanted to hear it.
"Mr.Takenouchi it's true...'
"What? No... how could that have happened! I could have been there for her...I could have been home, but my job... and I'm here and..." There was silence.
Tai didn't say anything as Mr.Takenouchi mumbled into the phone a little bit.
"I'm coming."
"What?" Tai was shocked. He hadn't seen Mr.Takenouchi since, well, probably two years ago!
"You heard me I'm coming! I'll catch a plane tonight. Call me if something happens."
Dial tone.
The boy stood there, clutching the reciever. He hadn't had the heart to tell Mr. Takenouchi, but, what if Sora didn't remember him?
Someone tapped his shoulder causing him to drop the phone
"Whoa, whoops sorry son." Doctor James said apologeticly,"But maybe you'd better go home and rest. You seem a little skittish today don't ya kid?"
"Well, no, i can't well," Tai started into the doctors stern face. He wouldn't be able to argue himself out of this one."Fine."The boy said, defeated.
"OK, come on by tomorrow to see how she is ok?"
"Don't worry doctor...I definitly will." He walked out the door. How could he just leave Sora alone there? No, she would be ok. It was a hospital and people are watching her 24/7 right? Well, her father would be coming tonight. But still, no, well.
"Tai Stop! Nothing's Gonna Happen!"Tai shouted to himself, causing curious people to glance over his way.
Whoops. Now the nurses probably think he's some sort of moron. He quickly walked out the front entrance and into the Summer heat. He got extremly hot...extremly fast. He was used to the air-conditioned hospital. Well, he guessed all hospitals were cold like that. No clue why they had to keep it overly-freezing but oh well. Why was he even thinking about this? Tai thought more random thoughts to keep his mind off Sora.
Walking past a playground he stopped for a second and leaned up againt the fence. Watching the kids play reminded him of Sora. They would always come down here to play soccer, swing, slide, or just hang out. He couldn't watch this anymore. He left just as some kid kicked a soccer ball over his way.
"Hey!"Tai turned around"Hey you! Can I have my ball back?"
He reluctantly picked up the ball, and threw it, half-heartidly back towards the waiting boy."Thanks..." he called, noticing the tired look on Tai's face.
Tai walked on, ignoring the kid completly. The walk turned into a run onced he reached the flower shop, and that run turned into a sprint once tears started to spring from his eyes. He was running out of breath. His chest went up and down, quickly, too fast, but Tai couldn't stop, not untill he got home. He needed to talk to someone. Maybe he could call Matt, or Izzy or someone. He didn't know and didn't care right now. All he could think about was reaching his apartment before his chest exploded.
Then just then something interupted his thoughts...A scream! Where was it coming from! He spun around looking behind him at the building he just past. No...it couldn't be...
It was Sora's apartment...and that voice...It was so familiar...It was usually a comforting voice, but not right now!...
"MRS. TAKENOUCHI!" Tai called as he started sprinting towards the building
'How could se be there? How!'
