Life and Love
Chapter 10- I'm Sorry
D: Digimon is not mine :)
A/N: ok- kate has come up with an alternative ending- but this is not it- right now you are reading the story as Kate originally wrote it- but after getting a few emails from Daiora supporters, I will consent and write them an ending- but Kate prefers Taiora- So Daiora readers I will post a separate ending after the last chapter of Life and Love… Until then- Adios
E once again had sweat on his face. Outside the hospital dawn was breaking. Tai's body ached all over now. Not just his lower back, but also his stomach and arms too. He pulled his arms from beneath the covers. His eyes went wide with shock as he saw black and blue marks on them. He recognized them- they were similar to the bullet holes on Sora's arms. He tried to get out of his bed, but found it very painful.
It dawned on Tai that his wish, had somehow been granted. He had somehow taken some of Sora's pain-
He laid in his bed- looking over at her. It was around midday until the pain finally subsided enough so he could actually move. There still was pain, but not as intense. He slowly got out of his bed and started to walk around, and over to Sora.
He took a seat in the near by chair. Tai had never realized that his body could ache this much. But it hurt worse when he thought of his Sora having to endure this, plus more. She had been through so much and yet, Davis was right, she still loved him… Tai sat there by her side till he fell asleep. But this time he didn't find himself in Sora's mind, or at least he hoped it wasn't. Instead he was surrounded by darkness.
"Sora?" he called out. "Sora- where are you?"
"Tai…" He heard a weak voice call out.
"Sora, I'm right here." Tai was turning around, looking for her, but couldn't see anything.
"I need to wake up. The light is growing again… If I stay here- I don't know if I'll be able to withstand it." She pleaded.
"But how do I wake you?" Tai asked. Before Sora utter more then his name, Tai felt hands shaking him.
He woke to find Kari and TK standing before him. Joe and Mimi entered the room shortly after Tai awoke.
"Hi Tai." Mimi smiled. He lifted his arm and waved. Everyone's eyes went wide with shock as they saw the burses on his arms.
"What the Hell happened?" Kari gasped. Tai didn't know what to say. They would think he was mental if he told them the truth.
Joe pulled his arm and examined the burses.
"Ouch!" Tai said as he recoiled the tender arm away from Joe. Mimi took Sora's arm and screamed. Joe turned around. She pointed to the place where the bullets had impacted. It looked almost healed.
"Ok- I've heard of fast healers, but this is ridiculous! This is like a weeks worth of tissue here. It's medically impossible." Joe said as all eyes looked at Tai.
"You're not going to believe me." Tai explained.
"Try us." TK commented.
"Well I was talking with Sora last night." He started.
"Sora's been awake?" Mimi cried interrupting Tai's story.
"No… no let me finish. While I was unconscious after the surgery and last night I some how was able to communicate with her. She said we were inside her mind or subconscious kind of place…" Tai looked around. He knew they were not really buying his story, but he continued. "I told her I wanted to take away some of the pain and I guess my wish came true… there was a bright light that surrounded us and then I woke up. I had black and blue marks on my arms." He sighed. "I told you that you'd not believe me."
"Well it is a hard to swallow." Kari said. "But what else could it be?" She smiled. "I believe you."
Joe was still skeptical; TK and Mimi both believed him.
"That's so romantic." Mimi swooned as she looked towards Joe. "Would you do that for me?" Joe didn't know what to say. He was blushing however.
Tai hesitantly reached out and held Sora's hand for the first time since the surgery. The second he touched her, the heart beat monitor's beeps increased. The beeps were stronger now. Joe took his eyes off Mimi and looked at the monitor. Tai instantly let go for fear he was hurting her. Her pulse slowed back to its weakened state.
"Tai." Kari said in shock. "She reacted to your touch." She walked over to Sora and held her hand- but no change. Joe, Mimi and TK also tried, but got no reaction from her.
"Tai.. Try it again.." Joe said. Tai looked a little uneasy, but he slowly out stretched his hand and touched hers again.
Once again the heart monitor picked up speed. Tai brought her hand up to his lips. Tai looked at her with hopeful eyes as her hand twitched.
"Her hand moved." TK said as he pointed to her free hand.
Come on Sora… wake up." Tai pleaded. With his free hand he began to caress her cheek. "Sora.. Wake up… for me.. Please…I..I love you Sora.. Please come back to me." Her heart rate was almost up to a healthy rate.
Tai felt himself being drawn to her, he gently, yet lovingly pressed his lips to hers. Her heartbeat again increased. As Tai's lips left hers, Sora gave a weak whimper. Everyone was at a loss for words. Sora began to weakly move her head. Tai held her head with his free hand.
"Sora." He whispered as he looked down on his angel. "You can do this.. We need you… I need you." Sora heart was becoming almost normal and steady, however she still wasn't awake yet.
As the five stood close to her, Matt and the rest of the Digidestined came into the room.
Matt rushed to Sora's bedside. He disregarded Tai standing there. Tai had released her head and backed up a bit. The heart monitor weakened a bit, but not noticeable enough for others to notice, because he still held tightly to her hand.
Matt held the other hand. The monitor didn't change.
"Hang on baby." Matt said. He looked up at Tai. The two boys had been the best of friends till they both figured they both loved the same girl. She was fought for during hundreds of arguments between the two young men. Sora, of course, knew not of the bitter hatred that engulfed the two old friends. Another one of those battle was about to erupt. Everyone now saw the years of hatred that had started to grow back in the digital world. The boys each held on to one of Sora's hands. They were staring at each other- they burned with a smoldering hatred.
Tai hated Matt for getting to Sora first, and Matt hated Tai for somehow always remaining in Sora's life and heart.
"Tai," Matt said coldly, "Will you please take your hands off my girlfriend.."
"Girlfriend?" Tai retorted angrily. "She's not your girlfriend! You never disserved her!"
"Well at least I'm not the one responsible for hurting her! God, Tai- why'd you go and piss off that psycho bitch until she snapped and took it out on Sora."
The two boys continued to exchange harsh words, as the rest of the group looked on in horror.
"Tai stop it." Kari said.
"You too Matt." TK replied.
"Ya, guys- I mean come one. We shouldn't be fighting now." Davis commented.
Matt took his eyes off Tai for a second and glared at Davis. "You stay out of this!" He demanded. "I heard abut you and how you tried to date her!" Davis was silent as Matt continued to yell at him now. Mimi began to cry because of all the yelling. Joe went to comfort her.
Tai's attention turned once again to Sora. Tai could see small crystalline tears rolling down her cheeks from her closed eyes. The once healthy heart rate was dropping.
Tai's anger subsided and fear once again filled him. Sora had heard the boys fighting over her. He knew she wouldn't like to see them fight. They never had really told her why they weren't friends anymore, but now she must know… it was because of her.
"No Sor, please… I'm sorry… we'll never fight again. Sora.. Matt… I'm sorry… don't leave me." Tai pleaded as he held tighter to her hand.
Soon everyone else realized Sora's heart rate had decreased. Buzzers began to scream numinous warning signals.
"Please…"Tai begged as he fell to his knees at her side. Matt had dropped her hand now. He was speechless. Tai frantically kissed her hand. Each time his lips touched her skin a small surge showed like before, but it wasn't enough to steady her heart rate.
Two nurses rushed in and hooked another batch of IV's to Sora. Whatever the fluid was it seemed to bring Sora's heart beat to a steady, but frail rhythm.
"Ok, you'll all have to leave now!" One of the nurses said as they began to gently push the group away from Sora.
"And as for you! Mr. Kamiya- you need to be in bed! Your body needs at least two days rest to recover." Tai was pulled to his feet and helped to his bed. The nurse then pulled the curtain around Sora's bed.
"She just needs rest." The nurse reassured the group of concerned friends. There was silence, and Matt left the room angrily. TK want after him calling his name.
The rest of the group left after saying goodbye to Tai.
He felt horrible as he lay on his bed. The curtain the nurses had pulled kept Sora from his sight.
