Life and Love
Chapter 8- Two minus One
D: Me? Own Digimon? Sorry, but no…
A/N: Ok- so what do you think so far? I'm slowly getting this fic typed- but there's a football game on- so it goes very slowly 'cause every other sentence- I need to scream at the TV! :) *in a MN/WI accent- which I don't have but oh well* 'Gosh darn I luv dem packers, I'd do anything for da packers- ya sure ya betcha-'
Ok, I'm officially scared of myself now- sorry… just read the story- while I get checked into a mental institution……
Joe stood there.. He couldn't give up…
"Someone has to have a compatible match!" The doctor shook his head.
"Her relatives live to far away to have them tested." The dr said.
"Well, get the lab ready- I think I can find a group of people who might just be able to help." Joe told him as he ran back into the room. "Everybody- what blood type are you?" Joe asked as he opened the doors forcefully.
"What?" Izzy inquired. "Why do you need to know that?"
"the kidney transplant failed.. We need to find another kidney fast or.. She's not going to make it."
"We owe her this much." Kari said. "She'd never give up on us, we have to give her a chance."
As everyone told Joe their blood type Joe realized that none of them would have a good enough match.
"What do we do now?" TYK asked sadly.
Tai and Davis walked back into Sora's room. Tai's eyes went wide with fear as he saw the empty spot where her bed once was.
"Is she?" Tai said almost in a whisper as he reached out his hand towards the empty area.
"Tai what blood type are you?" Joe questioned, ignoring what Tai said.
"TAI!" Kari smiled. "You have that 'O' blood type- doesn't that mean he can give to anybody?" She asked with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"Where is she?" Tai asked again, he had no clue what everyone else was talking about. "Who cares what blood type I am.. Where's Sora?"
"Joe… could it work?" Izzy spoke up.
"Tai… Sora's… she's dieing." Joe said as he put his hand on Tai's shoulder.
"No!" Tai whispered as he closed his eyes. His heart was collapsing.
"Her body rejected the transplant kidney and she only has a damaged one working…"
"Isn't there something we can do to save her?" Tai asked. "I… I can't lose her."
"we need another kidney for her… none of us match… but you.. It's dangerous." Joe warned. Tai's' chocolate eyes looked to Joe with no fear. He knew what he had to do.
"I'll do it." Tai said.
"But Tai, there are risks… and sacrificed to donating a kidney, especially in an emergency situation like this." Joe continued.
"I don't care! She'd do the same for us. She'd sacrifice herself for us and I'm the cause of this mess.. So maybe I can start to set things right." Joe nodded as he led Tai towards Sora's doctors.
"You understand that there is no guarantee she'll accept this kidney either," The doctor said as he looked seriously at Tai and Joe. "Plus, there are many difficulties with living with only one kidney… you'll have to give up sports- with only one kidney, any injury could be very dangerous.." the dr was going to continue with the long list of negatives for Tai to be doing this. But the one positive… Sora.. She was all that mattered to Tai.
"I want to do this." Tai said defiantly. The doctor gave Tai a few forms to fill out. And then led Tai to a room where he could change into a hospital gown.
Tai came out sporting the fashionable apparel. Everyone was there, outside the operating room as Tai jumped on to a wheeling bed the nurses brought. He hugged Kari and his parents who were crying.
"tai.." Kari whispered.
"don't worry Kari, I'm going to be fine and so will Sora.. You'll see." He smiled.
"we're proud of you son." His father said as Tai was wheeled into the room and the doors closed.
He was put next to Sora. She looked so peaceful. Not at all on the doorstep of death like she was. But she looked almost like she was in a peaceful slumber. He then looked down to her mangled and bloody body. Tai was more determined now to do this, as he looked upon the beautiful face of his Sora.
If she wanted no part in his life once she recovered at least Tai would know he would always be with her, and that he was able to save her.
Tai reached out and touched her face. She was lying on her stomach. Her face was tilted towards where they set Tai. Her skin was cold, as tears came to Tai's eyes.
"please Sora, accept this gift. I love you." He said laid down. He gripped her hand as he passed out of consciousness and the doctor began the procedure.
After the procedure the doctors wheeled Tai out of the operating room and into the room where everyone was waiting. He was still asleep as they left and his friends huddled around him.
Inside Tai was in a dream like world. He floated past the flat ground of green grass. As he floated, he felt the wind blow through his unruly hair. He wore a tan shirt and dark brown pants. There sitting amongst the most beautiful flowers was an auburn haired young woman. She wore a pale blue kimono and a yellow sash around her slender waist. Tai thought he was in heaven as he came closer to the girl of his dreams.
He startled her as he landed in a big gust of air.
"Sora?" he whispered. The girl slowly turned and faced him. Her angelic face gave a sad expression. One of pain, on of fear and confusion. He reached out to touch her, but she pulled away.
"sora." He said again. Sora began to run away from his touch. Tai followed. He caught up with Sora. She cried harder as Tai grabbed her arm and pulled her close. "Sora what's wrong?"
"Go away… I just want to die… I have nothing to live for anymore…"
"No Sora. That's not true I… I need you."
"No, you don't… I don't deserve you, taichi. I hurt you beyond words…" She paused. "Why did you save me? I don't disserve to live. I…I have nothing I can offer you… not like Margaret. She's beautiful, popular, and rich.."
"No Sora, you're wrong- you have so much.. I'm sorry.. I didn't know what I was doing.. I never thought.."
Suddenly Sora's attention was drawn away from the boy's concerned gaze.
"Oh God.. It's beautiful.." Her eyes went wide. All tears left her crimson eyes. "I never imagined it to be so… breathtaking." Tai looked in the direction of her gaze. He saw nothing.
"Tai Don't you see the light? It's like it's calling me." She began to move towards it.
Finally it dawned on Tai. She was leaving this world. Her body must have rejected his kidney and her body began to shut down.
"NO SORA!" Tai screamed out. "Please don't go. You can't!"
"There's nothing left for me there… I hope you and Margaret will be happy…" She said sadly.
"NO! SORA! I WAS WRONG ABOUT MARGARET. I NEED YOU! Please- I'll do anything for you." Tai went on his knees. Tears streamed down his face. "I'd die for you.. If you'll just let me love you. You're perfect Sora, I'm the one who doesn't disserve someone like you… but if you'd let me try to disserve your love…. God Sora… I need you please…." there was silence as Sora looked back to the boy who was pleading for her heart. "Please… if you don't love me anymore, then accept my gift and live. At least I will know that I am a small part of you forever… Just don't leave…" Tai looked at her. She was now floating in the air. She was half way to the light now, but she slowly stopped moving; just looking back at the distraught and hurting Taichi. "Come back." He sobbed.
"Tai… the pain is to much… and .. I don't know if I can…" Sora said. Her eyes held unborn tears.
"Yes you can.." Tai held out his hand to her. The sky grew dark as Sora struggled to decide what to do…
"I don't know if I could live without you Sora." Tai whispered.
"Tai…" Sora said. :it's pulling me towards it Tai, I don't know if I can fight it."
Tai jumped to his feet. "Sor you have to." Sora turned her body and reached out for Tai.
Sora was struggling to pull away from the bright light that was beckoning for her. Tai stretched to his limit. He couldn't fly up to her- she had to come to him.
"You can do it Sora…" He breathed.
Suddenly a loud crash of lightning cracked and Tai's vision went black.
