*Romantic Sigh*
DominoDS: I swear if Sora wasn't perfect for Tai i'd want him for myself.
Tai is so yum. *Cough cough* Ok I'll calm down.
Thank you for the extra cool reviews. You all rock!
Ok here's Part II. :)

*********************************************************************
I didn't remember landing but everything went black as I felt pain
exploding all over my body.
A few moments later my eyes shot open and I saw blood all over the rocks
around me. I tried to move but I couldn't and the pain grew worse. I
couldn't talk, I was face down, but the upper part of my torso was propped
up on a bigger rock.
"I'm coming Sora!" words echoed. I could barely see Tai climbing down after
me. I was weaving in and out of consciousness. He jumped down rushing to
me, choking on his breath looking at all of the blood.
"Sora, please give me a sign that you're still on this earth." he said
softly,knealing beside me. I managed a soft painful whimper as I tried to
move again.
"Sora, don't move." I heard Tai cry. Gently he put his arms around me as he
pulled me up. My ears began to buzz as I was pulled up, I couldn't feel his
touch. I only felt cold latch onto me; everything began to fade, he
whispered softly into my ear words that weren't heard as consciousness left
me.

I woke up lying in a hospital bed, using a respirator, tubes connected
to my wrists at the veins. The room was dimly lit so it looked to be in the
afternoon. I looked around myself to find Yolei, Kari and Mimi sitting at
my side. They all smiled seeing I was awake.
"I knew she'd made it." Kari smiled. She squeezed my hand gently. "How
long?" I managed to choke out in a dry and pained voice. "You've been
unconscious for 3 days." Mimi said softly,her brown eyes filled with tears.

"Mimi flew out the night of your accident and has been by your side for two
days straight." Yolei smiled triumphantly.
Kari stood up walking to the door and poking her head out talking
excitedly. "Hey guys, she's finally awake!"
I heard loud shuffling and banging sounds as 4 guys tried to fit
themselves through the door at the same time and ended up a pile on the
ground by my bed. They all looked up at me, Davis,Matt, T.K., Joe. As the
cool and collected Cody, Izzy and Ken calmly walked in. Matt coughed. "T.K.
and Davis tripped me,thats why I fell." he lied. T.K. and Davis began to
protest as he helped Joe up. Matt kissed my bruised forehead. "How are you
holding up?"
"Feeling embarrassed." I said slowly. They all sat down around me. Hopeful
faces with love. Ken patted my hand looking at me.
"Don't be, everyone has thought about attempting." he spoke softly as not
to hurt my ears or pride,meaning suicide.
"I've tried to myself, and luckily I was stopped."
Davis looked shocked. "I-... I had no idea." he sputtered. Yolei hugged
Ken. T.K. rested his chin on my arm.
"Sora, we don't know what we would have done if you would have died." he
spoke weakly. Mimi began to cry. I felt so bad, it was my fault. I only
thought of myself. I had never felt so selfish.
"I'm really sorry." I breathed. Matt held the trembling Mimi. Joe looked
around. Cody popped up from the ground. Since he's so small I hadn't
noticed. "Everyone is needed for a reason, and you're no exception. We're
glad you're still here." He smiled supportingly to me. Kawaii, I thought.
Both Izzy and Joe spoke in unison. "Where's Tai?"
I knew that someone was missing. Kari smiled nervously knowing this answer.
Matt glanced around the room seeing 'his friend' wasn't there.
"Kari, I should tear right into him!" Matt snapped fiercely. I tried to sit
up with great effort. All eyes fell on me as I was too weak to accomplish
this. Mimi squeezed my hand. "relax Sora, You still need your rest, you're
lucky to be alive."
But it felt so wrong to be here. Why did Tai save me?

Tai finally showed up in the doorway carrying 'Get well' Balloons and
flowers. They were from my friends at school, I could tell because one of
their pictures was plastered all over a balloon. Matt got up walking to
Tai. "Tai, we've been friends for a long time right?"
"Yeah,Matt."
"I'm sure you'll understand why I'm doing this." He stated then punched Tai
in the gut. Tai's eyes went wide as he hugged his stomach with a freehand.
Matt walked past him.
"Matt! Dammit!" TK yelled running after him.
"I think we should call Mrs. Tackenouchi to tell her what's going on." Izzy
winked. The others filed out behind him with Mimi, Yolei and Kari giggling.
Tai smiled quietly through his pain setting the flowers on the small stand
beside the bed. He sat down in the chair that Kari had sat in right next to
me. It was quiet between us as he sat there. His brown eyes explored the
room, just that fact that his eyes fell on the respirator made me squirm a
bit. I was guilty. Guilty of hurting everyone I cared about, I hated myself
for this.
"Why?" Tai's soft words interrupted me from my thoughts.
"Because you hated me."
"Damnit Sora, I didn't hate you." He snapped.
"Ha! You sure as hell fooled me!" I tried to yell, but ended up coughing,
my lungs feeling like they'd explode any second. His features softened as
he took my hand.
"I didn't hate you. I was confused. Liking two girls at one time isn't
easy, especially if one of them is a best friend."
I furrowed my brows. "Why'd you lie to me then?"
"Because I didn't want you to hurt me." He said looking at the tiled floor.

"No, you wanted to me to be the one that got hurt. Congratulations, you won
the contest Kamiya." I said lowly,lying back between the sheets. Tai got up
giving the fight to speak to me. A pink plushie toy landed on my lap, it
looked like a bird, kind of like Biyomon.
"Ill visit you another time." he muttered leaving.
A small card was around the ankle of the plushie it read; "Sora, I know
you're probably hating me right now. But I want to say that I'm sorry for
being so blind to as how you felt as I lied to you over and over. I was
blind to the fact that you were hurting inside. I do love you. I'm sorry"
-Tai
I was a bit shocked that he'd done this. He also saved my life and there I
was arguing with him. I removed my respirator mask to test my breathing. I
could suck in a little big of air but then I began to cough and choke.
Little droplets of blood appeared on my blanket, some on my lip remaining.
Deep stabbing pains hit my chest, I put the mask back on. I was in worse
shape then I had thought. The pains wouldn't cease so I pushed the com
button for Nurse assistance. Sitting there was doing nothing for me. I
pulled off my covers, my legs were bandaged tightly from the fall. I slowly
extended my leg over, lowering my foot to the ground, same with the other
one. I tried my best to stand, the tubes still connected to my body, and my
legs couldn't support me, dropping me to the ground hard. My hand shot out
onto the table grabbing it but turning it over as I fell. The vase of
flowers broke spilling water and petals all over, everything tilted and
swayed as I lied there on the floor. I heard rushed footsteps coming for
me, right now my mind was empty as the world through my eyes went black.

"She'll be ok though right?" I heard a soft frantic voice speak.
"Mrs. Tackenouchi, your daughter is lucky to be alive. But there are more
complicated problems going on within her. She has no ability to walk, she
still needs the respirator to breathe and there's something going on in her
that we just can't figure out. We're sorry but you're daughter is going to
be in the hospital for quite awhile." A doctor said.
"But...but how will I afford it?" her voice broke.
"Don't worry Mrs. Tackenouchi, we'll help out with the bills." Mimi
offered.
"Thanks Mimi, how long can you stay?"
"I think maybe a week longer, because I'll have to go back to school." Mimi
spoke in a softer voice.
"And we'll constantly visit her, if the doctors let us." Kari grinned. "Tai
got a job as a bag boy to help you & Sora out, and Matt said he'd chip in
with some money his band is making from their shows."
"My mom is even lending me money to help pay." TK said.
"Uhhh...uh... I can take out money from my piggy bank. I'm sure it'll be
more than T.M.'s" Davis said.
"That's sweet you guys." Kari said with Davis grinning.
TK looked at Davis and laughed. "Whatever."
"Sora is lucky to have you all as friends." Mrs. Tackenouchi sniffled. I
was lucky to have them, but I didn't deserve them. I pulled my covers over
me to my chin to fall asleep again.

~1 week later~
Tai narrowed his eyes in deep concentration and looked at me. I only smiled
innocently as I drew my card, Ha a Jack!
Hahaha. I had him where I wanted him. I frowned forming my pink lips into a
pout to bluff him. He gave his lopsided grin as he laid his cards down.
"4 of a kind." he stated triumphantly. Slowly I began revealing a flush all
in the same suit. His mouth dropped open. "Hey, you bluffed me." he
accused. I laughed at him. "If we would have bet yen I would have cleaned
out your whole account. I smiled gathering all my cards.
It had been two weeks, I wasn't kind of sick of staying in the hospital but
with my constant visits and schoolwork to do during the day I hadn't
thought much of it. I was off the respirator, I could walk only with
assistance or being held up but the doctors were still clueless as to what
was wrong with me other than the fall. Tai saw me every day, everyone else
frequented me with a visit every other day. My mother saw me almost
everyday as well.
"When we get you out of here I'm going to take you on a real date ok?" he
asked me.
"Sure." I smiled. He pulled away my covers and walked to me picking me up
out of the bed.
"Hey...what...?"
"I'm gonna give you some fun for once in this boring place." he said
carrying me over to a wheel chair.
"Hey Tai, hi Sora." Matt said walking in with Cody.
"Hi guys what's up?" I laughed as Tai protectively tucked a blanket around
my bare legs.
"Uh.. what is he doing?" Matt said quirking a brow.
Tai grinned. "You guys wanna race me and Sora?" Cody looked around.
"We could get into a lot of trouble, I don't think we should." he reasoned.
I agreed with Cody. The people here were nice but didn't tolerate much.
"C'mon Cody, we gotta give Sora some fun." Matt said grabbing a wheel chair
from outside and offering Cody a ride. I tried to reason with the two
stubborn boys but it was no good.
They pulled me and Cody into the hallway. It was clear. We lined up in
front of an imaginary line.
"On your mark, get set, go!" Tai yelled racing off with me down the hall.
Cody and Matt were closely behind.
"Aah, Tai you're gonna slam me into the wall!" I shrieked. Tai skidded
turning the chair sharply. Matt gained ahead of us as we raced down the
hall. People looked at us as we whooshed by.
"Matt, look out you're gonna hit Gabumon!" Tai yelled. Matt fell for it.
"Huh, where?!" He exclaimed crashing Cody into my chair.
"Ow! Matt!" Cody yelled. Tai yelled as the wheel chairs locked and we both
crashed, me falling on the finish line. I found myself busting up with
laughter as they looked at me with guilty faces. Cody squirmed from under
one of the chairs.
"Im ok you guys. Really." I laughed as I hugged a poor embarrassed Cody.
"Hey, why does he get a hug?" Tai and Matt asked in unison. Cody smiled
sticking out his tongue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welp that's end of Part II
I'm thinking I'll make part III be the last one. Hopefully.
I hope this was good. It was fun to type the race scene.
