Wow, thanks fpr the great reviews. I'm glad you guys liked it so much. For your reading pleasure here is the next chapter.
Chapter 2
The whirring of an ambulance siren. Her mother's racking sobs. The bouncing and swerving of the ambulance as it raced down the road. Sora let these things float through her conscious mind. She could barely keep her eyes open. She had lost a lot of blood and was very weak. She couldn't help it anymore. She let the relief of unconsciousness take her.
The ambulance pulled into the emergency bay at the hospital. They rushed Sora to the E.R. Mrs. Takenouchi watched as her only child, her little girl was wheeled down the white hallway. All she could do was wait and pray.
Jim Kido was the on call doctor that stormy evening.
"Calling Dr. Kido, calling Dr. Kido, you are needed in the E.R, immediately." An annoying female voice boomed over the P.A.
Jim ran out of his office and raced towards the E.R. He got to the washroom. He scrubbed his hands quickly. A nurse rushed in with sterilized scrubs.
"What do we have?" He asked as the nurse put on his gloves.
"Fourteen year old female. Has a large, deep gash across her abdomen. Is currently unconscious." The nurse said as Jim entered the operating room.
Jim looked at the young girl on the operating table and gasped. "Sora!" He said quietly to himself.
One of the surgeons looked up at Jim. "She's in bad shape Jim." She said. "She has lost a lot of blood and this gash goes very deep."
"Alright." Jim started in a very professional manner. "Let's get to work." They worked quickly to save Sora. "Don't give up on me Sora." Jim said as her heartbeat began to slow. Luckily, Jim was able to stop the flow of blood. He started to stitch up the gash.
"Its amazing Jim." His fellow surgeon, Dr. Kina Kitaru, said as they finished sewing up the wound. "A half an inch deeper and it would have ruptured her uterus." She finished looking amazed at Sora's good fortune.
"Yah." Jim said as he added the last stitch. "I had better go give Mrs. Takenouchi the good news." He said. He said good-bye to Kina and made his way towards the waiting room. He looked back and saw two doctors, accompanied by Kina, wheeled Sora to her room.
He turned back. It had been a long and tedious surgery. He looked at his watch. It was now past three in the morning. The surgery had started around eleven, eleven thirty. He reached the waiting room. He took a deep breath and opened the door. The room was full of people. Mr. and Mrs. Takenouchi sat on a couch. Mr. Takenouchi had his arms around her as she cried onto his shoulder. Mrs. Kamiya and Mr. Ishida sat on the couch next to them, both with tears in their eyes. Yolei, Cody, and Davis sat on another couch; their eyes were red and puffy. Joe, Mimi, and Ken sat across from them. Ken was staring at the floor as tears fell from his chin to the floor. Joe had his arm around Mimi who was sobbing onto his shoulder. Tai, Matt, and Izzy sat in chairs. Izzy, like Ken, stared at the floor. Matt looked straight ahead. His eyes unfocused and red. Tai looked like he wanted to cry, but was too sad and scared that he couldn't. TK and Kari sat on the last couch. Kari had her head buried in TK's chest. She was crying very badly and TK was stroking her hair as silent tears streamed down his face.
Jim cleared his throat and everyone looked up at him. An eerie silence fell over the room. He took a deep breath while everyone held their own. "Sora is going to be fine. The surgery was a success." He said with a smile. Their tears of sadness and fright turned to tears of joy and happiness. "She is still unconscious." Jim continued. "I do not know when she will wake up. Mrs. Takenouchi, how did this happen?" he asked.
Mrs. Takenouchi regained her composure and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I don't know Jim. I was in the living room and I heard Sora screaming. I ran into her room and she was clutching her stomach and screaming in pain. I shook her awake. She lifted her hands off her stomach and they were covered in blood. I saw the gash. She stared at it for a couple seconds, and then she fainted. That's when I called for an ambulance. I don't know what happened." She finished.
"What did she do today?" Jim asked.
"She was at soccer practice all day." Sora's mother replied. " Tai and Davis were there too." She finished.
Jim turned to Tai and Davis. "Did Sora get hurt at practice or act differently today?" Jim asked them.
"No. She was fine." Tai said in a choked voice.
Jim thought for a moment. "All we can do is wait until she wakes up to find out the answer." He said.
