Forever Love
By: Ayame Takaishi
Chapter 5 – The Hospital
Kari braced herself for the bullet that was aimed for her. She didn't care if she died. Her one true love was gone and she wanted to be with him. Even if it was in death. She knew the bullet was coming but she didn't feel it. She wondered if this was what happened when you knew you were going to die. Did it feel like the world was going in slow motion? She heard continuous blasts of sound. She looked up and saw Davis looking at his gun dumfounded. He aimed it at her again and continued to pull the trigger. Nothing happened. Kari noticed her vision becoming a little hazy. She wiped at her eyes thinking they were tears but she felt none of the little drops of water she expected to be on her face. She looked around her entire body in bewilderment and noticed a strange mist that was cool against the touch of her skin. She felt herself becoming calm and she felt comfortable. She felt the coolness leave her and float over to Davis. She saw Davis stand there in shock. Davis' eyes fluttered a little and then closed shut and he dropped to the ground.
The mist floated back to her and it some how talked.
"I am Hogosha. Guardian of TK and those he loves."
"If you're his guardian than why is TK dead?!" Kari yelled back.
"I could not have stopped him. His mind was set on saving you. His last request to me before he died was that I protect you."
Kari had started to cry again. She yelled up hoping that TK could hear her in heaven. "Why did you do it TK?! I was supposed to die!"
"No. It was my destiny to save you."
Kari's crying subsided as she saw TK materialize in front of her. She looked down but she still saw TK's body on the floor. She looked back at the materializing TK and realized that it was his spirit.
"But TK…" Kari started but was silenced by the touch of his finger to her lips. He suddenly hugged her and she hugged him back. They broke apart and Kari asked, "Why did you leave me TK? I can't live without you."
"Yes you can Kari. I had to leave to protect you. But you have to realize that I will always be here with you forever. Maybe not in physical form but in spirit."
"Why did you have Hogosha save me? We could have been together." Asked Kari as a few tears escaped her eyes.
TK gently wiped away her tears. "As much as I want you to be with me I can't be selfish and purposely keep you from living. We will be together. Just not now. You must live, otherwise what was the point of my death. Promise me that you'll live. You'll have a family and be very successful in life. Promise me that."
"I promise TK."
"Good," replied TK as his well-known smile graced his face, "now we have got to get you out of here." TK's smile dropped as hesitation replaced it. "Ummm Kari can you let my parents and Matt know about, you know, what happened?"
"Sure TK. Oh my gosh! I forgot. What about Davis?" as she pointed to the still lifeless body of Davis on the floor.
Hogosha stepped in. "He is in an eternal sleep. Never to awake and never to be awaken."
Kari asked, "Sooooo do we just leave him here?"
TK replied, "Sound good."
"TK what about your body?" asked Kari.
"Umm. I guess we'll take it to the hospital or something. Come on Kari. Let's get out of here. Hogosha can you carry 'me'?"
"Of course."
TK picked up Kari and they started to fly. They saw Hogosha pick up TK's body. Kari just cuddled herself up to TK and made herself comfortable. She ended up falling asleep. When TK woke her up they were at a hospital.
"You have to go inside and tell them what happened," whispered TK.
Kari got out of her comfortable position and ran into the hospital. She ran up to the front desk and yelled at the lady, "My boyfriend got shot and…and…he's dead!" She then started to cry. She was still not used to the fact that TK was dead.
When the nurse heard the words shot and dead she immediately called for a stretcher. She turned back to Kari and asked, "Where is he?"
Kari led the nurse outside to where Hogosha had laid TK's body on the ground. The nurse kneeled next to TK and felt for a pulse. She felt none. "He's dead."
Kari suddenly lost it. "I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT BITCH! DIDN'T YOU HERE ME CLEARLY ENOUGH?! I ALREADY SAID HE WAS DEAD!"
She felt TK's presence and she calmed down. She apologized to the nurse, "I'm sorry miss but we were very close and I miss him already." She had started to cry again.
The nurse came to her side. "It's okay dear. I know you must be hurting."
The stretcher came and TK's body was wheeled away. The nurse came back to Kari and asked her things like what was his name and how old he was. Kari answered all the questions. The nurse then asked for the parents' names. The whole time Kari's body was answering the questions automatically with out her mind. But when she heard parents her mind came back to her body.
"Oh my gosh! Matt!" she gasped. "Excuse me miss but where are we?"she asked the nurse.
"Odaiba General."
She ran to a payphone stuck in some change and dialed Matt. The phone rang and rang. She was just about to hang up when she heard Matt's irritated voice answer, "Hello?"
"Matt! This is Kari."
"Oh hey wassup Kari? I was just practicing and I heard the phone ring. I thought if I ignored it they would hang up but it kept ringing and ringing and"
"Oh shut up Matt!" Kari cut him off.
"What the hell is your problem Kari?!"
Kari started to cry a little.
Kari tried to keep a steady voice and told Matt, "Matt, TK …TK died."
There was silence on the other end.
"Matt? Matt?!"
Matt's voice suddenly came back. "Kari you're positive? I mean like this isn't some sick, screwed up joke or dare that TK set you up for is it?"
"I wouldn't joke about something like this Matt. This is too serious. You should call your parents. I'm at Odaiba General."
"I'll be right over Kari."
Matt hung up. Kari sat in the waiting room of the hospital for a few minutes. She was starting to get sick of the smell of alcohol and antibiotics so she went outside. She stood outside gazing at the beautiful night sky. She felt TK come up and hug her from behind.
"I called Matt," she told him.
"I know remember I'm always here."
"I remember."
"Kari!"
She looked up and saw Matt coming with his parents. She ran up to Ms. Takaishi and hugged her.
Ms. Takaishi told Kari, "He was going to propose to you tonight."
"I know. He did."
She lifted her hand and showed her the ring that TK had given her. They walked into the hospital and a nurse came up to them. "Are you the parents?"
"Yes we are," replied Mr. Ishida.
"Follow me."
TK's parents left leaving Kari and Matt alone.
Matt asked Kari, "What happened?"
Kari just looked down and wouldn't reply.
"Okay. Maybe another time."
After a few moments of silence Kari stood up and said, "I think I'll go home now. Tai and my parents are probably worried about me."
She was about to walk out when Matt called her back.
"How are you going to get home?"
"I'll walk." She knew that TK could fly her home so she wasn't worried about walking in town late at night.
"No I'll give you a ride. Tai would kill me if he knew I let his baby sis walk alone at night."
Matt got up and Kari told him, "Don't you think your parents need you?"
"Nahh. They can handle it together. Come on Kari."
Kari had no choice but to follow Matt out the doors and to his car.
Remember R&R okay? PLEASE!!!!!
