I woke up, and worried rusty eyes were staring down at me. I felt a sudden weigth atop my chest, and a happy squeal of "Yamato!" let me knew I was back where I was supposed to be. I stood up and wlkaed out into the morning, sparing a side glance to the hourglass on the milkcrate.
Taichi was surrounded by various people, looking dazed and confused. I walked over to them and knlet in front of Taichi. I extended my hand.
"Er, I'm Taichi Yagami. Who are you? I've met everyone else...and these little animals, too..."
I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. I tried again, in vain, because I knew that there wouldn't be an answer. Gabumon looked up, and caught my eye, and in that second I knew he had told the others about me.
"This is Yamato Ishida." Taichi looked nervously at Gabumon, inching away from him. "He's mute." Taichi grated his teeth and nodded, staring at Gabumon.
"Y'know, not to be rude or anything, but you guys kinda creep me out." Biyomon nodded, sympethetically.
"You humans kinda creeped us out when we met you, too." Sora laughed at her.
"Biyomon!" and Taichi smiled shakily. I shook my head.
This was going to be tougher then I thought.
Taichi seemed to handle everything okay- he was still getting used to the fact that yes, Digimon are real and can talk, and that these people wanted to be his friends.
It seemed like he'd never had friends before. But he did remember Hikari, and he told Takeru about her alot. And the more he talked to my little brother, the more memory he seemed to regain. At least for this.
Jyou and I sat together at lunchtime, not really talking. "You think this will work," he stated suddenly. I looked at him, then shrugged.
"He's scared of us." I cocked an eyebrow. I didn't get that impression. Jyou laughed.
"He seems to like Mimi, though. My Mimi, she can make anyone feel at home, can't she?" I nodded, and Jyou laughed. Then suddenly he grew serious.
"I figured out why you had that seizure, Yamato. You have epelepsy. Ever heard of it?" I shook my head- it didn't sound familiar.
"You take medicine for it. Do you take any medicine?" I nodded, my eyebrows furrowed. Had my parents been lying to me about my allergie medication?
"Thought so. That's epelepsy medicine, I'm sure of it. Is it a white pill with a line down the center?" I nodded again. He had to know how stupid I felt. Shake, nod, shrug. Never thought I'd have only a three-word vocabulary before.
"Yes, that's it for sure. I got some, though. Actually, Koushiro got it for you. He went through a busted telephone booth and nicked it from your father's apartment. Here you go," Jyou tossed me a bottle. I caught it and tucked it in my pocket.
"You do love him, don't you?" I nodded furiously. Yes, yes, yes, Jyou. You have no idea how much.
"If you don't get him to kiss you...we're going to die, correct?" I hung my head in shame. I hadn't thought of that. A few tears escaped my eyes and fell to the dirt, and Jyou wrapped an arm around me.
"Now, now. It's alright. I don't blame you. I would have done the same thing if it were Mimi." I looked up at him, confused. I didn't know they were so intimate.
"Yeah, we haven't really announced it." I moved my mouth, trying to say Jyou's name. He looked at me, surprised. "Do that again." I obeyed, and Jyou caught my chin in his hand, and grinned.
"Yamato- I have a plan." I grinned wider and wider as Jyou told me a way I could communicate with everyone without ever saying a word.
**Later that day**
"Alright, alright, settle down. Since Taichi has joined us, I thought we'd go over how we talk to Yamato again, just for him." Jyou winked hugely, though I doubted Taichi saw it. Everyone else was hanging on Jyou's every word, desperate to know how to talk to me.
"Now, Yamato uses body language. He nods, shakes his head, and shrugs. But he also uses his face to tell us what he means. When he furrows his eyebrows like this," I demonstrated, "he's confused. When he cranks one up, he's unsure. When he cocks them both up, he's surprised. Got that?"
A few nods. "But wait, there's more. He will mouth things- your name, an obsenity- just single words or short phrases like that. He'll mouth something now, and I want you to tell me what it is."
In my mind, I said "Hello." I moved my mouth as though I was saying it, and a hand shot up. Mimi.
"He said, 'Hello'," Mimi responded promptly, proud of herself. Jyou smiled.
"That's right. Let's try something harder, shall we?" In my head, and as though I were saying it, I spoke my coined line, and a tan arm raised itself shyly.
Jyou called on Taichi. "What do you think, Taichi?"
"I think he said...'Coz I'm da man.'" Taichi said, tentitavly. Mouths opened in shock.
Maybe there was hope, after all.
The second day will be in Taichi's POV, for a change- yay, yay, yay. And Yamato has a heart-to-heart with Jyou. Hope you enjoy it, and stay tuned for another chapter soon!
