Chapter 9 Sharing the Pain
D: You know I don't own it :)
A/N: Hello all! Thank you for r/r this fic- if you like it, I recommend some of my various other sugars induced stories.
To those who like the Daiora- well I am thinking writing an alternative ending- but so far it is a Taiora- really, it is. I am feeling like procrastinating w/ my schoolwork tonight- so I'll see what my brain can come up with for you Daioras.
And this goes for any of my stories- please- if you have suggestions- let me know:) I write for everyone's amusement- I love reading and writing fan fics- so just contact me by email or IM me! I'd like to hear from you guys-
Anyway- here we go- back to the suspense…. Will Sora live?? (maybe) ….Will Tai and Sora get together?? (I dunno know) Will Kate ever get her homework done?? (all signs point to NO)….
Suddenly a loud crash of lightening cracked. Tai awoke in a cold sweat, gasping for air. He sat up and noticed he was no longer in the strange world with Sora, but back in the hospital bed, smiling faces surrounding him.
"Sora? Where is she?" Tai said as he realized where he was.
"she's still in surgery." Joe said. Tai threw the covers off and ripped the IV's out of his arm. He jumped out of the bed, his bare feet slapped the cold tiled floor. A sharp pain surged in his lower back,. His fingers felt the stitches from underneath the hospital gown. Tai ran out of the room, ignoring the pain, and into the operating room down the hall.
He threw open the double doors and saw Sora, still lying on her stomach. The surgeons were still working on her. A nurse tried to pull him out of the room. It was no use, he struggled with all his might, pleading to stay. The nurse gave up and gave him a sterile coat to put on. He drew closer to Sora now. Her slender back was dotted with stitches and bandages. Tai's attention went to the hundreds of tubes and machines that surrounded her.
"It looks like her body will probably accept the kidney." The doctor said as he saw the concern on Tai face. "The last one we didn't been get to sew her up and it was being attached by her immune system."
"Will… will she live?" Tai asked quietly.
"she's one tough cookie." The dr chuckled. "I've never seen so much strength yet- most people wouldn't have made it to the hospital in her condition. But only time will tell." The doctor finished the last stitch and she was all closed. Several nurses came to bandage her up as the doctor backed away. Then Sora was gently flipped back on her back. Tai followed as they wheeled Sora out of the OR and back into the room where she would rest.
When they entered Tai noticed another had shown up.
"Oh God Sora!" Matt said as he ran to her side. He touched her cheek affectionately. "I should have never left you…" Matt had just arrived with his band. They had all gotten to know Sora like a sister during her and matt's relationship, so they were there also.
Tai doubled over in pain suddenly. Joe and Izzy went to his side.
"Tai! Get back to bed! You just had a dangerous operation and you body hasn't even begun to heal." Joe ordered.
They aided Tai back into his hospital bed, a few feet from where Sora laid.
"Geesh Tai, you aren't superman." Mimi giggled, as she ruffled his hair.
Matt walked over to Tai's bedside.
"Thank you for being there for her Tai." Matt started. "I shouldn't have yelled at her like I did… But at least she had a friend like you to be there for her." Tai looked saddened.
"But I wasn't there for her, Matt… I took out my anger on her like you did… Davis was the one who saved her." Matt looked shocked. "Well your kidney saved her too." Matt said as he patted Tai's shoulder and then returned to Sora's side.
Tai tried to relax, but found it was impossible. So he sat up in his bed.
Soon Matt and the band had to leave so they could rehearse. "Kari, here's my cell phone number- if anything happens.. Please call me and I'll be her as soon as I can." Kari nodded as Matt turned to Sora and kissed her. He waved to the group and was gone.
For some reason Tai felt better with Matt gone. Joe, Izzy and Davis were now asleep in chairs near the window- the sun was by now high in the sky. The nurse brought Tai and the other the usual hospital meal. But Tai wasn't hungry.
"Maybe you should just go to sleep Tai." Kari said. "We have to go back to school tomorrow. But call us if anything happens, will you?" Kari asked. Tai nodded. Izzy, Joe and Davis were woken up and they left. It was now just Tai and Sora.
Somehow Tai drifted back to sleep. And once again he found himself in the same green field as before. The dark sky had not changed. Tai didn't fully comprehend where he was exactly, but maybe Sora would be there… he ran towards the spot she was before. Amongst the flowers she laid there in a fetal position. He auburn hair cascaded and mixed in w/ the grass. He approached her by her back. Her face was facing the ground. Tai carefully rolled her on to her back.
"Sora?" he said as he held her. She gave a weak moan as he had moved her, so he knew she was still with him.
"Hey.. Are you ok?" He asked as he stroked her hair. She scrunched her eyes tightly closed and slowly opened them. Her vision cleared and she saw Tai's face staring down on her.
"Tai?" She said weakly.
"I'm here… where ever here is…" He scratched his head as he looked around them. Sora gave a painful whimper as she tried to move. Her body ached.
"Sora, Take it easy." Tai said concerned. He helped her sit up. "Do you know where we are? It looks like it is going to rain here and we need to find shelter."
"There is no shelter here.. We're inside me." Tai looked confused.
"inside you?"
"Like inside my soul or something…. I can't explain it, but it's like the place where no one else can go… it's my place of solitude…I end up here if I'm scared, or in pain or just wanting to be alone."
"Not really a nice place though." Tai smiled.
"It wasn't always this dark, but after everything started… it became bleak." Sora scanned the horizon, her gaze once again fell on the bright light. It wasn't as bright as before, but it still called to her.
"What do you see?" Tai asked. Once again he could see nothing.
"It's back." She whispered as she reached out her hand towards it.
"NO!" Tai yelled as he grabbed her outreached hand. With his other hand he gently touched her face. She stopped looking at the light. "You can't go now. Not since you have fought so hard… I want to spend the rest of my life with you…I… I haven't gotten to share everything I have with you.. Sora I need you." He drew closer to her. There faces were very close. "Promise, me you'll never go towards the light." He caressed her cheek with his thumb as he held her head .
"I..I.. don't know if I can." She whimpered.
"Look at me." Tai commanded. Her crimson eyes slowly moved to meet his. "Now listen… you can do this, but only if you want to." He looked at her- her eyes were full of fear and confusion.
"Sora." Tai whispered.
"Yes Tai?"
"I love you." He said as he pulled her into a kiss. Even though he wasn't awake, he felt shivers run up and down his spine. Her lips were so fragile ands sweet, but they had a strength behind them. Tai continued to kiss her passionately.
After sometime Sora broke away and began to cough violently. Her lungs were burning. Ai looked on in horror as she continued to cough. Finally she stopped coughing and was able to breath normally.
"the pain…God Tai it hurts so much.."
"Sora- is there any way I can take this pain from you? Anything I can do?"
"Please… don't leave me…" she whispered into his ear. He held her tight.
"I'm not going anywhere." His arms wrapped her close. She clutched his shirt. She rested her head on his shoulder as he nuzzled her neck affectionately.
"we're going to get through this.. Together." He soothed her. "I wish I could take away some of this pain." He said.
"No… no you don't."
"But I do… I love you so much I would do anything for you… if giving you my heart meant you'd be able to live, I'd rip it out for you… I fell so bad, knowing I've hurt you.. I caused this pain.." Tai said sadly. "I'm sorry." As he said this a bright light radiated from the two. Tai left a surge of pain, yet he didn't break the embrace. Soon another crash of lighting woke Tai.
