The Love that Binds Chapter 28
"DAMN HIM!" Jeff shouted he kicked the desk.
"I was close to having your wife Taichi but you had to interrupt," he whispered bitterly.
Jeff took the water jug and the glass Sora had drank from, he carried the two things back out side her office where the tray was and covered them with a wipe cloth. He carted the tray out of there as fast as he could. Leaving out of the closest elevator and disappeared behind the elevator doors.
"I'll be back and next time you won't be able to find her…and I'll send you a video tape of it too," He replied.
Outside the building…
Taichi put Sora into the back seat, "Hikari get into the back with her," He replied as he turned around and got into the driving seat.
Sora closed her eyes then looked at Hikari, "I called home, and then I accidentally, hung up," She whispered.
"That must have been you then," Taichi replied he looked at the two girls from the rear view mirror.
"I'm sorry Taichi I didn't mean to hang up," Sora whispered.
"Don't apologize Sora, I know you and you would never do that…unless you were mad at me which I don't think was the case. There something wrong…" he whispered he stared ahead paying attention to the road, and was silent.
Hikari watched her brother and the way he was so concentrated on the road it looked like he was thinking about something. She then turned to Sora, "Well, maybe it was something that you ate?" Hikari questioned.
Sora put her hand to her forehead she tried to think, "I didn't eat anything since lunch…and all I had was water…and you know I don't drink when I'm at work," She said to her as well as Taichi, he only nodded and continued drive Hikari nodded too. "I know you don't."
Sora looked in a panic down at her hands; a sudden thought came to her mind "What happened when I was out for a past few minutes…my god," She whispered in shock.
She looked at Hikari, "Sora don't go near the subject," Hikari told her strongly.
"I can't help it…I was alone…Hikari." Sora told her, her voice shaky.
Taichi just kept driving the he heard Sora gone on the possibility that someone had raped her…if it had really happened, Taichi couldn't never forgive himself for letting her stay at the office alone.
Flash back to earlier in the day around three o'clock in the afternoon….
"Sora, I'm going home." He told her as Taichi walked into his wife's office, she was at the desk hard at work filling out papers.
"Okay, well can you take care of Li for me, your mother has him at the moment," She told him.
"Okay hon, you're not done yet?" he asked, watching his wife filling out papers.
She glanced up at him, "No, but I will be done before five tonight," She whispered.
"Okay, how bout I set that hot tube for it's first use after the kids go to sleep, I'll get out bottle of champagne," He replied.
Sora liked the sound of it, she got up from her desk and walked to him, she gave him a kiss really lengthy one and before she pulled away from him, "Keep that in mind." She whispered, and then sat back down.
"I take that…as a definite yes," He answered and smiled.
She nodded looking up at him from her seat. "I'll be waiting then." Taichi said.
"Me too, honey buns." Sora replied.
End of Flash back
He sighed, "No, nothing like that happened. My dad must have security cameras installed all over the place, we will find out," Taichi told the two women.
"Taichi, Dad doesn't put cameras in offices. For the purpose of privacy issues," Hikari put in.
"Well, we got to ask, when we get home," He said and then stepped on the gas.
Ishida's home…
Takeru came to the front steps of his brothers house he was going to knock but decide not to…he opened the door and closed it behind him making sure he didn't slam it.
He heard commotion coming from the living room, "AH SHIT!" came a voice. That voice obviously belonged to that of his brother…he stepped into the living room and watched Yamato, he was putting together a crib Mimi was sitting on the couch reading instructions to him.
"Yamato really, can't do you something without swearing every time you get hurt?When we have the baby, do you think it's going to be a good sign when it's first words are shit or fuck?" Mimi questioned him.
"He won't learn it from me don't you worry…" Yamato replied.
Mimi raised an eyebrow at him. "He?" she questioned.
"What?" Yamato asked he looked at Mimi.
"You just said he. You think the baby going to be a boy?" she asked him.
"Well, no…I was just saying I meant the baby…what ever it's gong to be...okay," he said.
Takeru frowned the two still hadn't picked up that fact that he was here watching them arguing over what the baby's sex was going to be.
"There is so much love." Takeru replied suddenly Yamato jammed his thumb and Mimi jumped the out of her seat the papers falling she turned and saw Takeru.
"DAMN IT!" Yamato cried holding onto his thumb.
"Takeru!" Mimi cried she looked like she was going to have a heart attack, Yamato on the other hand looked like he was going to kill him.
"Takeru, since when do you decide to invite yourself in?" Yamato questioned angry he was coming toward his little brother who was backing up slightly.
"Okay I'm sorry, you seemed to be having fun trying to put the crib together," He replied.
Yamato narrowed his eyes at him, "Yamato leave Takeru alone already the it's not enough that you yelled at him, last week," Mimi replied.
"Your eye is healing pretty nicely, Yamato." Takeru commented with a smile.
"This right here. Is your fault," Yamato said pointing to his black eye; given to him curtsy of Taichi.
"Hey I'm not the one telling him he's whipped," Takeru said he stopped feeling a bit pressure of being cornered. He looked to his Sister in law who was watching. "Mimi can you control him please, I'd like to live to see my wedding day." Takeru replied nervously.
"Yamato leave him alone…it's not his problem," Mimi walked over to Yamato and put her hand on his shoulder and directed him back to the crib. "I still want you to finish this." Mimi replied and smiled. "Oh and as Takeru's punishment he can help you put together the crib." She replied.
"But…" Takeru began.
"No buts, do it. I'm going to make up something for dinner okay?" She said in the form of a question then left the room and went into the kitchen. "I can see you two, remember that!" she called.
Hospital 7:00pm…
Kara and Daisuke sat in the hospital cafeteria; Daisuke put a spoon full of chicken soup in his mouth swallowing it he looked at Kara.
"I have to tell you something that Davis asked me in the room earlier," He replied softly, he watched her intently Kara pushed a strand of hair that had fallen out of the place back behind her ear.
"What did he ask?" she questioned.
"He wanted me to get custody of him, he wants to live with us," He replied.
Kara look down at the table.
"I didn't promise anything Kara…I wanted to run it by you first," He watched her, Kara then looked up and they're eyes met.
"Daisuke he's just confused, I sure he doesn't want to leave Miyako," She responded quietly she didn't know what else to say, she looked in his eyes and could tell there was something there that was questioning her if she thought that what she had just told him was true.
"Daisuke…your not thinking that I'm lying are you?" she trailed off watching him.
He sighed only "No, it's not that…it's the way he told me that he wanted to live with us," He told her. "He begged me, Kara. But, what's bothering me more is that I was actually thinking about getting total custody," He replied after she didn't respond.
"Daisuke, do you want him to be dragged through a long court fight? Because that's exactly what's going to happen if you do decide to get custody of him, you know Miyako will fight," She told him.
Daisuke looked ahead of her he saw Miyako. They're eyes came in contact with each other and she glared at him before going to the cafeteria's line. Kara caught him looking and turned around to see Miyako…she turned back to Daisuke.
"What happened?" she asked.
Daisuke looked at his hands suddenly casting his glaze away from Kara. "I kind of did something…last week," He replied.
"What did you do?" she questioned him.
He sighed inwardly before he began, "I didn't mean anything by it, don't be mad…please."
"What did you do?" Kara asked.
Daisuke looked away from her.
"Did you humiliate her?" she questioned waiting for him to respond, he shook his head.
"I kissed her," He replied.
Kara looked at him in shock.
XcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccX
Taichi pulled into the driveway to his house, it was dark out then the porch lights came on. Hikari helped Sora out of the vehicle and helped her walk to the house.
Anna greeted the three, at the door.
Hikari led Sora into the living room and she sat down on the couch. Taichi and his mother stood in front of her Hikari sat beside her.
"Babe are you a bit better?" Taichi asked her.
She nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine." She whispered, she looked a bit confused.
"Sora?" Anna asked, Sora looked up at Anna. "What's wrong?" Her mother in law asked.
"All I had was water, I don't understand how I could have gotten so dizzy and pass out like that," Sora replied.
"You know what don't think about it," Hikari told her.
"Maybe we should go to the hospital and get a blood test done," He replied.
Saria then appeared in the living doorway, "Hospital?" she questioned them all four turned to see her.
Sora smiled sweetly at her daughter, "Your dad's going to take me to the hospital to get a blood test done," Sora replied.
"I heard that, why?" she questioned now waiting for one of them to answer.
Sora looked to Taichi for answer, "Well to see if your mother is okay, we have to see her doctor," Taichi replied 'lame excuse Taichi, she your daughter she a lot smarter now.' he told himself.
"I don't get it…your fine right mom? Dad your lying to me something happened," She said startled she couldn't believe that they wouldn't tell her what's going on.
"It's complicated…sweetie." Taichi began.
Saria let out a growl, "Everything is complicated, why won't you tell me! I'm old enough to know!" she practically shouted.
"Saria!" Taichi told her in a firm voice. "We will discuss this after we get back from the hospital…okay, we didn't want you to worry about what has been going. We will tell you everything from when you were born till now," Taichi told her.
Saria nodded, "I'm sorry…I just want to know. You all hide stuff from me like I'm a little kid and I'm not any more," She whispered to her father.
"Saria we are only doing this for your own good," Hikari told her.
"I can handle it Aunt Hikari," She replied.
"Can I come to the hospital? I want to see how Davis is doing," She asked deciding it was best to change the subjects.
"Yah, come got get ready," She said.
"Saria are your friends here still?" Taichi asked.
"No, they went home a few minutes ago," she replied and ran up the stairs to her room.
"Sora, Taichi. Your not going to tell her everything are you?" Anna asked.
"She has a point, she no longer is a little girl mom," Taichi explained quietly.
"But, Taichi your going to tell her about Jeff?" she questioned.
Taichi looked at Sora this time, "Saria's eleven years old and if you remember correctly at that point of our lives we were asked to save the world…and we handled it pretty well," Sora said.
"Yeah and I was only seven at the time," Hikari told her mother as well.
"Okay ready," Saria said coming into the living room, the smiled.
"Okay mom, Hikari can you watch Li at the house for a while? we will be back," Taichi told them before he, Sora and Saria went to the door and put they're jackets and shoes.
Ishida's house…
Mimi had prepared a small dinner the three where eating quietly and Takeru finally took the opportunity to speak. "Yamato I just wanted to relay a message," He replied.
Mimi watched him. as did Yamato,"Yeah what is it?" he questioned.
"Hikari says that she does not want you and Sora to fight during the wedding, or the reception," Takeru replied.
Yamato rolled his eyes. "Again with this…how many times did I tell you I won't," he told his brother.
"Hikari wants reassurance," He said simply.
"Does she want a contract or something?" Yamato asked annoyed.
"Yamato…pleases." Mimi whispered to him.
"Pleases what Mimi? Hikari obviously thinks I'm going to spoil her and my brothers wedding so I might as well," He replied he got up from the table and walked by the finished crib and to his desk; he picked up a paper and pen then returned to the table.
"What you're going to make one?" Takeru asked.
"Yeah if it helps her relax then I will," He answered he started to write.
Mimi and Takeru watched until he finished and put his signature on it and handed it to his brother, "There you go, just have to get Sora to agree to it and it's done and no more worries," He replied.
"Okay fine," Takeru replied.
Back at the hospital…
Kara stood up from the table looked at him in shock. "How could you!" she yelled in a whisper at him.
Daisuke got up too and he ushered her out of the cafeteria. They walked to the nearest terrace as soon as the door closed the yelling began, "I can't believe you! How could you!" she shouted angrily at him.
"It's not my fault okay! Don't throw it in my face!" he shouted back.
"Oh please…you kissed her why? Huh?" she asked her voiced died down, it was a whisper now. "Why?" she questioned again.
"I'm sorry for yelling," Daisuke began he watched Kara expression change to upset.
"Don't skip the subject." She whispered
"I don't know, but Kara I'm sorry for it. I wasn't thinking, things happened and I just kissed her," he answered.
Tears sprung in her eyes, slowly they dripped down her cheeks, "This is what I was afraid of…and the worst came true Daisuke," She replied, she whipped her eyes with her hands gingerly.
"Kara, Miyako doesn't like me. After I kissed her, she pulled away and then accused me of trying to get custody of little Davis. By trying to get close to her," he told her.
Kara looked out over the Obadia the lights were lined in rows, and some of the buildings windows had a bright light while others were dark, "So is that how it is?" she asked her back still facing him.
"Yeah…that's where I got the custody thing from and I haven't thought about it before…not until then," He replied. He felt so sick about hurting her the way he had with a troubled expression on his features, "Kara look at me please," He begged her.
"How can I? When I feel so abandoned at the moment. Did you stop and think how it would have affect me?" she asked.
"Kara the kiss meant nothing, you got to believe me. What ever was between Miyako and me. It's dead," He told her he put his right hand on her right shoulder, then his left hand on her left shoulder and messaged her shoulders, softly.
"You know it too, because I love you, because of this baby," He took his left hand and placed it over her stomach. "If that kissed meant something, then I wouldn't be here holding you…I wouldn't be in your life right now, and I wouldn't be telling you how much I love you," He whispered.
Kara turned around to face him she had tears in her eyes; she sniffed a bit he wiped away the tears ever so slightly with his thumb. "You mean it right?" she asked her voice was shakily from crying.
"Of course," He answered.
She hugged him, and held on to him, "I love you." She whispered she closed her eyes tightly.
"I love you too you mean every thing to me," Daisuke replied.
Little Davis's hospital room
Saria popped into the room, she slowly walked over to his bed. "Davis?" she asked she looked over at him his skin was paler then usually other then that he looked the same before he went to the hospital.
"Saria?" he whispered he turned his head and saw her. "Thank you for the necklace I feel a bit better."
"You don't look like it Davis," She replied, watching him concerned.
"I'm okay…you'll see soon I'll be back to school and playing soccer again," He replied and gave her a small smile.
"Okay, well just want to know how you were doing. I can't really stay for long because my dad's here with my mom they're going to get a blood test, and I have to go home because they're going to tell me something everything about what has happened since I was born," She replied rather distant.
"Tell you everything?" he questioned.
"Yeah, my mom came home late tonight and I guess something happened to her. They keep acting like if they tell me I'll cry or get hurt," She told him.
Davis looked away from Saria and stared straight ahead, "Well, mine seem to have thought of the same thing," He answered.
"Yeah…." She trailed off; knowing of what had happened to him over the past month. "I'm sorry Davis…about that and all," She replied.
"Yeah well, it's not my or your fault. You shouldn't apologize for something you didn't do. If it is anyones fault it would be my mom's and Ken's fault," He answered rather bitterly.
"Well, what are you going to do about it when you get out of the hospital?" Saria questioned watching him.
He turned to look at her, "I asked my father to get custody of me," He said.
Saria raised an eyebrow,"Your father? Who is your real father?" she questioned.
"Daisuke Motomaiya," He said.
Saria looked at him in shock, "You mean the soccer player?" she questioned, he nodded
"Holy smokes…I mean from the junior team?" she questioned once again can't believe that he was telling.
"Yeah."
"But, he doesn't live here in Obadia does he," She replied sudden sadness came over her.
"Saria…we can still keep in touch if I go and live with him," Davis said he was worried now because she was sad.
"It wouldn't be the same Davis you're my best friend," She pleaded to him.
"I can't live here with my mom and Ken, Saria you know that. I can't be near them now…and if I…Saria!" he called as she ran out of his room. "Saria…" he whispered, then put his head on his pillow he sighed.
Yagami's house
Takeru entered the house he closed the door and took his shoes off at the door and put on slippers then hung his jacket up on the hanger. He walked into the kitchen and Hikari's father was there. "Mr. Yagami, where's Hikari?" he asked. When he did the back door opened and Hikari came through.
"Hi Takeru," Hikari smiled at him.
"I talked to Yamato, he made this up," He held the piece of paper up.
Hikari looked at the paper then took it from him then did a once over scan and frowned, "What is this a joke?" she questioned him.
Takeru shrugged his shoulders, "He said the was sick of being questioned about being nice. Then he made this contract up and he signed it he told me to get Sora to sign it then it will be good, between them," He replied.
"Where's you mom?" Kevin asked his daughter.
"Oh, um she has to watch Li. Taichi took Sora to the hospital to get checked out," Hikari replied
"It's not serious is it?" he questioned.
Hikari looked at both of them, and shook her head. "No…" She trailed off a bit there was something lingering in the tone of her voice. That Kevin had easily picked up on.
"Hikari, what is it there's something more," Kevin told her.
"Okay…your right, Taichi had an bad feeling that Sora was in trouble so we rushed over to the offices, and we found her half concussion on the couch in the her office." She told him.
"What? Is she okay?" he asked her.
"She's fine," Hikari replied.
"Taichi decided to take her to the hospital to make sure," She answered him.
Hospital…
Taichi sat in the waiting room, he looked up and saw Sora, come back the doctor behind her, Taichi hugged her. "How did very thing go?" he asked the doctor.
"Well, there is no signs of rape and you will get a the results of the blood test next week or so," The doctor confirmed to them.
"That's great doc, thank you for seeing us in such short notice," Taichi replied.
The doctor nodded and headed off in another direction.
"God, Taichi you have no Idea how relieved I am," Sora told him, she ran her hand up his left arm.
"You and me both. I don't know what I would have done if some like that happened; it would have been my fault… I'm supposed to watch you and Saria and Li," He told her.
"Shh…the fact of the matter is that I'm fine…nothing to worry about," She whispered and kissed him softly.
They were interrupted as Saria came into the waiting room, "Can we go yet?" she asked sounding a bit impatient.
"Okay come on let's go home," Taichi said and the three were headed back home.
Ishida's…
The crib rested in the middle of the nursery, which was half painted, and border paper that was half on. Paint buckets lay next to a five foot ladder and a dampen towel which hung off one of its steps.
Down in the kitchen, Mimi and Yamato were making out against the wall. He had her arms pinned down to the walls while he kissed slowly he pulled away then began to kiss her bare neck. Mimi was in ecstasy, she groaned. "Yamato…" she whispered.
He only responded by, moving his lips back to hers, his lips going over hers in a loving romantic manner.
Yamato pulled away this time letting go of her arms, "Okay I'm sorry…I got carried away," He replied, trying to catch his breath.
"Carried away won't be the word…Yamato you know I'm pregnant right, we can't have any at all for nine months. I know it's going to kill you until then; it won't be easy for me either. But look on the bright side we can kiss still but try not to press your body one mine, that much," She replied.
Yamato looked worried even more, "Oh my god I didn't hurt it did I?" he asked he felt her lower abdomen.
"No…I don't thing so, but just remember I'm pregnant," She told him.
"Okay…does that mean I can get a porn?" he asked.
"YAMATO!" she cried.
"I'm just kidding, Meems, you know that," He replied.
"Oh course…now I think I'm going to turn in…how about u?" she asked.
"Yeah I will in a second," He replied.
"I'll see you in bed," She said then disappeared up the stairs.
Yamato went into the kitchen and took his a bottle from the medicine drawer. He took the small vial of sleeping pills and took two of them out and set them on the counter. He got a glass and filled it up with water, and took the two pills. He then went up stairs to bed.
Taichi and Sora's home…
Saria came into her home. Taichi and Sora followed, they closed the door then Anna came to them at the door.
"Li's sleeping upstairs," She told them two.
"Okay thanks Mom for watching him," Sora whispered and gave her mother in law a hug.
"How did things go?" she asked.
"Good there was nothing wrong with me in the first place," Sora answered she turned to Taichi.
"Yeah I'm happy for that," He responded.
"Well dears I'm going home…good night," She whispered.
Taichi gave his mother a hug before she left then he closed the door, making sure it was locked.
"Well, should we tell her tonight?" Sora asked Taichi.
He shook his head, "Nah…she seemed a little too quiet. I think tomorrow would be better. Besides she is tired," He told her.
Sora nodded in agreement, "Let's go to bed then," She replied leading the way up the stairs.
"Be right behind you babe, I'm setting the alarm system," He told her.
"Okay I'll be waiting babe," She replied back.
Taichi smirked, "That's what I call you." He called to her.
"Well, it's only fair if I can call you that too," Sora replied.
"Okay your right if you want to call me that then you can," He told her in a bitter defeat, he laughed a bit then pressed a few numbers and walked up the stairs.
Taichi made a small detour to Saria's room, he pushed the door opened lightly and peeked in. She was asleep already he sighed and closed the door he walked to his room and opened the door, Sora had just slipped into a night-gown.
He closed the door, "Saria's out," He said and he slowly began to undress. He put his shirt on the chair that was at the foot of their bed and then his pants there as well, he walked over to the bed in climbed in beside Sora.
She as watching him using her elbow to proper herself up, "I guess we will tell her about everything tomorrow then," Sora said to him.
"I don't know Sora, It's school. However this is important for her to know," He replied.
Taichi lay on his back looking up at the ceiling, "I think we should Taichi…she wanted to know tonight about what was happening. It would be a good Idea," She whispered.
Taichi turned to look at her, "Your right, I know he is probably upset about what you said to him. It will also be good to tell her about what he has done to us," He answered.
Sora smiled and slowly moved over to him, and kissed him, "I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too," Taichi told her, Sora kissed him.
Sora pulled herself on top of him, they pulled away slightly, and she began to play with his hair. "You know what Taichi…I miss your big hair." She replied.
"You do?" he questioned.
"Yeah…I mean I could play with it or run my hands through it," she replied sighing.
"You don't need that much hair to play with do you?" he questioned.
"Well, I remember pulling it during our loving making, that's what I liked," She whispered.
"That's what you liked? That hurt me," He replied in a semi whine.
"But I liked it," she pouted.
"That is why it's this short now," He answered.
"But I thought you liked it," she said confused.
"If I was going 'ahh!' that meant it hurt not that I was enjoying it," he replied.
Sora giggled and kissed him, "Your so cute." She replied then got off him.
"And you too," He said.
She turned so she was laying on her side and looking at him, "Good night hun."
"Night."
Sora reached over to her night table and pulled the string that turned the light off.
Takeru and Hikari…what's supposed to Takeru's room.
Takeru was on top of Hikari, who didn't have a shirt on, only her bra. He was kissing her neck softly, Hikari was working on his pants, and she pulled them off.
Now he was pant less, was the only thing that was left on him and she started to get irritated with it. She roughly pushed him away sitting up right and pulled his sweat up and over his head.
"Holy, what the rush?" he asked.
"We still haven't seen if we were really compatible in the physical kind of way," Hikari replied she then reversed rolls Hikari on top.
"Are you always going to act this way?" Takeru questioned. Then she shut him up pretty quickly by kissing him.
Outside an apartment building in Obadia some where…
A man threw a Janitor's out fit into one of the big blue garbage containers.
"Hmm...Taichi you might have won this time around but next time I'll do it right and I won't mess up," He answered angrily. Then walked into the building.
To Be Continued…
