A/N I went back and changed Yamato's father's name to Masaharu since that what it is or at least what people told me it was :). Oh and I guess I'd better fill you in on the ages since someone informed me that the age for driving is 18 in Japan. I'm using the Canadian driving rules cuz those are the only ones I know.

Yamato, Taichi, Sora : 17
Jyou: 18
Koushiro, Mimi : 16
Miyako, Ken : 14
Takeru, Davis, Hikari : 13
Iori : 11

Well here's Chapter 6 finally. Sorry it took so long!

"Hmm, one new message. It's from Miyako, I wonder what it's about," I said to myself. I clicked on her name and the message popped up. "It appears to be addressed to Sora and Mimi too. I hope it's not another one of those annoying forwards." I scrolled down and began to read to myself.

Hey guys,
Looks like I've been the one nominated to spread the bad news. I guess I'll just start at the beginning. Today during lunch, Takeru got called to the office to get a message and it said that Yamato was in the hospital. So Takeru, Daisuke and Ken went to find out what was wrong. It turns out that Yamato was in a car accident that morning and he got hurt pretty bad. I was talking to Daisuke and he told me that I should tell the rest of you. He's at Odiaba Hospital in case any of you wanted to visit him. Daisuke says that the doctors say he'll be okay after his surgery on Friday. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Hope to see you all really soon,
Miyako

"Koushiro honey, are you in bed yet?" "I was just need to pack my computer up," I called out. "Alright, don't take too long. Good night Koushiro," my mother called out as she closed her own bedroom door. "Good night Mom, good night Dad," I replied as I quickly shut down my laptop and put it away. Than I climbed into bed and fell asleep.

The next morning was Wednesday and seeing that I had co-op all morning at Ja and Ne's Internet Service, I decided to skip and go visit Yamato. I grabbed Taichi's present from off my desk and packed it in my backpack along with my laptop. I than hopped on the city bus and headed towards the hospital.

Half an hour later, I stood in front of room 409. I couldn't decide whether to knock or just walk on so I quietly opened the door and peeked in. A pair of azure eyes stared at me from across the room allowing me to come in. I closed the door than approached him carefully.

"Hi Yamato, how are you feeling?" I asked as I sat in the chair next to his bed. "Like crap and I probably look it too," he replied sadly. "You don't look that bad, just a little banged up," I told him. "You're just saying that," he said as he looked away from me. "Hey, what's this?" I asked as I picked up a little doll from off his bedside table. It looked like the Planter's peanut except his hat was torn off and replaced by a bundle of chunky brown yarn. His face was also replaced, but with a picture of Taichi's face. Yamato looked back at me and than at the little doll in my hands. "That's a Puff Nut," he told me. "Looks like Taichi to me." A small smile appeared on his face. "It is. Taichi is my lil' Puff Nut." "Why Puff Nut though?" "Because he has puffy hair and he's a nut," he explained to me. I laughed and than handed the doll to him. "Oh, I almost forgot. Taichi has another present for you. He asked me to fix it up and than give it to you when I saw you." Yamato looked at me curiously. "What is it?" I opened my bag and handed him a videotape. He examined it for a moment than handed it back. "Can you put it in?" he asked me, obviously uncomfortable that he couldn't do it himself. "Sure," I replied as I got up and popped it into the VCR. Pretty soon the screen filled up with familiar faces.

"Hi Yama-kun! I thought and I thought and this is what I came up with. Pretty cool huh? It's a video of everyone so that whenever you feel lonely you can just watch this and know that there are people there for you at all times. First off we have good ol' reliable Jyou, he's the one that actually informed most of us about what happened. Unbelievably, he stayed calm during the whole time and didn't have a single allergy attack! Pretty good huh? Well here he is!" Taichi said happily as he focussed the camera on Jyou.

"Ha ha ha, very funny Taichi. Boy he's a real kidder ain't he? Tell me, how can you go out with him?" Jyou asked. "Hey! I heard that!" Taichi said from behind the camera. "I was just kidding. Umm, what am I supposed to say exactly?" Jyou asked. "Jyou, just say something that isn't too stupid." "Ok, what's black and white and green? Two skunks fighting over a pickle!" Jyou said laughing at his own joke. "You're pathetic... next we have... Kenny boy!" Taichi said as he aimed the camera at Ken and Daisuke who were sitting on a couch together.

"I told you not to call me Kenny Boy Taichi," was the first thing that came out of Ken's mouth. "Aww, c'mon Ken! You know you like it!" Daisuke joked as he nudged Ken in the ribs. A slight blush rose on Ken's face and Daisuke started to laugh. "Ha ha! Made you blush!" Daisuke proclaimed. Ken glared at him than tackled him so they both went sprawling to the floor. "Umm, ok. I guess this is going to have to be censored." Taichi said as he put his hand in front of the camera to block out the scene in front of him. "Guys, cut that out. This is a hospital," Hikari said as she nudged Daisuke on the back with her foot. Daisuke mumbled something that wasn't understandable and batted her foot away.

"So Hikari, how are you doing?" Taichi asked as he aimed the camera at his sweet lil sister. "I'm doing alright," she said sweetly, smiling at the camera like a natural. "So, do you have anything to say to Yama-chan that doesn't involve a stupid joke or... umm... something like that," he said pointing towards Daisuke and Ken. "I think I can handle that," she giggled. "Hi Yamato, hope you're feeling better and are up on your feet pretty soon. It's only been a few hours and Taichi is already getting on my nerves. Just kidding. He's just worried about you. He really cares for you and I do to. You're like the blonde brother that I never had. Get better soon cuz we're all going to miss you in the Digi-World." "Aww, that was so sweet!" Taichi exclaimed. "All it needs is a love Hikari at the end and it's all done." "Oniichan! I wasn't finished yet!" Hikari declared before turning back to camera. "Love Hikari. There I'm done!" she said as she got up and walked out of the field of view.

"Well it looks like Ken and Daisuke are finished with what they were doing so let's go back to them," Taichi said as he once again aimed the camera at Ken and Daisuke. "Now guys, no more of that crazy monkey business," he warned them. "Yes Dad," Daisuke replied sarcastically. "You know what? Taichi could really be your Dad. You do look alike," Ken pointed out, only half jokingly. "Now don't you start something you won't be able to finish Ichijouji," Daisuke said. "But..." he started but then shut his mouth. "Guys stop arguing and say something nice to Yama-chan," Taichi declared. "Yeah Dai-chan, stop starting a fight," Ken joked. "It wasn't me, it was you and saying that Taichi was my Dad!" Daisuke exclaimed. "Guys! Enough already!" Taichi yelled and was immediately shushed by all the people in the room. Ken whispered something quietly into Daisuke's ear and he nodded in agreement. Than they both stood up and ran towards the camera, toppling Taichi over in the process. "We love you Yama!" they yelled, before smothering the camera with kisses. "Hey! Don't be kissing my boyfriend through a camera like that!" Taichi yelled. "Yeah! Why don't you do it in person?" Jyou asked from across the room. "Hmm... that's a good idea. We should try that when he gets better," Daisuke said to Ken. "Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't mind being kissed by two fine looking guys like us," Ken said. "Hey! Do you think he'd like to try a threesome sometime?" Daisuke suggested. "I do like the sound of that Dai-chan." "I knew you would Ken-chan." "What! There ain't no way in hell that's going to happen!" Taichi proclaimed. "Party pooper," Daisuke mumbled. "Ok, you know what? I'm done with you two. I'm going to go and see it Takeru and Mr. Ishida want to say a couple of words," he said before turning off the camera.

"A threesome? With those two? I dunno if I'd be up to that. Now maybe if Taichi was involved and possibly a certain red headed boy than I defiantly would be," Yamato said jokingly. "Me?!?" I accidentally squeaked out. He let out what was between a cough and a laugh and than smiled at me. "I was just kidding Koushi, no need to be scared." "Did you just call me Koushi?" I asked as I glared in his direction. "Sure did and you can't do anything cuz it wouldn't be right to hurt someone who's in a hospital bed," he pointed out. "Fine but when I get home I'm gonna send you a virus via e-mail!" I threatened. "I'll just forward every piece of e-mail you send me to Jyou. I'm sure he'd love to get a virus!" "You wouldn't..." "I would and you know it! Now shh... the video is coming back on," he told be as Takeru's face appeared on the screen.

"Hey Oniichan. I don't really know what to say. You see, Taichi just basically sat me in a chair and told me he was making a video for you and to say something. He didn't even give me time to prepare. Now I'm starting to sound like Jyou huh? Well, I'm sorry bout before when I hugged you. I didn't mean to hurt you. You know I would never mean to do that again. Ever since that thing with Puppetmon when I said that I didn't need you taking care of me anymore. I didn't actually mean it. I guess I was just tired of being babied and all. I'm still sorry about that. I just wanted to tell you that now it's my turn to watch over you like you did and still do to me. You're the greatest Oniichan in the world and... Ai shiteru," he said, obviously trying hard to keep the tears inside. He waved at the camera and than scooted out of view to be replaced by Mr. Ishida.

"Hi son. Get better soon. If you ever need anything than you know my number. Try my cell first and if that doesn't work than just call home okay? Now you save you're strength and try and behave. I don't want to receive any phone calls about you causing problems alright? Love you Yamato," Mr. Ishida said sincerely before he also left.

"There we go! Now it's my turn!" Taichi exclaimed. "Damn, I need someone to hold the camera for me... hey Hikari! Get over here!" Suddenly Hikari's head popped onto the screen. "What is it Oniichan?" she asked sweetly. "I need you to video tape me." "Sure, no problem," she said as she took the camera from him and focussed it on his face. "Alright, now just keep the camera on me k?" "I know what I'm doing Taichi! This is my camera by the way!" she pointed out. "Oh fine, now shush. Let me do my part."

"Hi Yama-chan. I hope you're starting to feel better. This accident really got me thinking. When Hikari told me that you were in the hospital and she didn't know what was wrong, I swear I felt my heart stop. I can't imagine what life would be like without you. I love you more than life itself and I just want you to know that. You mean everything to me and I'd do anything, absolutely anything for you. You remember that alright? You might want to take me up on that offer some day. Yama, everyone is worried about you. You'd better pull through this or else! Oops, I guess I just made it sound like you were dying, which you're not. If you ever feel lonely, I don't care what time it is, you give me a call and I'll be there as fast as I can. I love you so much Yama-chan and I'll always be there for you," Taichi said, his voice and eyes full of compassion. "Ok Kari, turn the camera off now."

"Well, what did you think of that Yamato? Great editing job huh?" I asked as I got up and took the tape out. "Hey, are you ok?" I asked as I came back. He turned himself away from me and nodded but I could tell that he was crying. His body shook slightly and I could just barely hear his sobs. "Yamato, what's wrong?" I asked as I got up and sat on the edge of his bed. "I'm fine... nothing's wrong," he assured me but he still wouldn't face me. "Oh c'mon! I know something's wrong, I can't help you if you don't tell me," I stated. "I guess I just need some more painkillers that's all," he half lied. "Ok, I'll go get a nurse." He nodded and ushered me away with his hand.

I wonder what's wrong with him. I know that he told me he needed some painkillers so he could get rid of me. He probably didn't want me to know that he was crying even though I'm pretty sure he already knew that I noticed. I think that he's scared of what's going on but is to stubborn to admit it. All those things that everyone said must have had an effect on him, if he wasn't able to hold his tears in while I was still around. I guess I'll just have to try and coax it out of him but first I'll give him a few minutes alone.
