Yea!!! I actually am starting to write a second chapter!! This means good news. Usually I only write one chapter even if the fic requires more. So we're off to a good start.

Digimon is NOT mine. Wish it was though. I could have fun with the bois *evil grin*!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA MWHAHAHA *hack cough hack hack cough cough cough ^drinks water^ * Ah-ha *gasp* MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA………….

(sry I just like that!! It's an a joke between SafetyMunkey and me.)

A Walk To Remember isn't mine. It belongs to its writer whose name escapes me right now and to the people that made the movie. Which I recommend everyone buys and watches over and over and over again.

A Walk To Remember by Aloh Dark

Chapter 2

"Hikari we're home!"

"Hey Mom."

"Umm something smells good!"

"I cooked us some dinner."

"Thank you dear. We'll be ready for it soon."

"Ok. Where are Dad and Tai?"

"They're still coming up. They took the stairs."

"Ohh ok."

Mrs. Yagami had barely left the room when a brown haired figure stormed through the apartment making as much noise as he could.

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"What's wrong with him?"

"*Sigh* The doctor said he had to leave the soccer team and he couldn't participate in gym until the test results get back."

"Oh poor Tai! He loves to play soccer."

"I know. When he was told, it didn't settle well with him."

"I wish there was something I could do."

"Just give Tai some space right now. I think he only needs a little space to cool off."

"Ok. DINNERS READY!!"

The parents were in the kitchen with Hikari for five minutes waiting for Tai but he didn't show.

"I'll go get him." Mrs. Yagami made a move to get up but was instantly stilled by her daughter.

"No, no I'll get him."

"Thank you Hikari."

Hikari made her way to Tai's room. She knocked but received no answer.

"I'm coming in weather you like it or not but I'm going to give a minute to get yourself decent." She waited a minute like she said and opened the door. She found Tai lying faced down on his bed. At first she thought he was just lying there but as she got closer she realized something was wrong. Tai was perfectly still. Too still. When she got to him and shook him she realized with a start that he wasn't breathing.

"MOM!! DAD!! TAI'S NOT BREATHING!!!!! CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!!"

Suddenly her mom was in the doorframe. " What?!?"

"It's Tai Mom! He's not breathing!"

Her father burst into the room. "An ambulance is one its way."

Hikari looked back down at Tai. 'Please don't die Big Brother. Please don't die.'

A few minutes later EMT's were at the apartment door and were swiftly let in. They found Tai still alive but his heartbeat was very faint.

"We have to get him to the hospital."

"Only two of you can come with us. I'm sorry but that's all we have room for."

"I'll stay home mom. I think I can get a ride from a neighbor. I'll meet you there."

"Ok. Okay" And they left. EMT's, parents, and a near dead Tai.

'Please! Oh Please don't let my brother die! I beg you! Don't let him die.'

After a few moments of silence. She slowly walked to the phone and called Yamato, she figured he should know.

"RIIIINNNNNGGGGG

RIIINNN---"

"Hello?"

"Hey Yamato it's Hikari."

"What's wrong? You sound upset."

"Tai was just taken to the hospital. He had stopped breathing."

"…."

"I just thought you'd want to know."

"… Thank you…. Thank you so much." Yamato's voice was very horse and strained.

"Well I need to get over to the hospital so I'll tell you what's happening when I can."

"Ok. Do you think it'd be alright if I showed up?"

"You're family." And with that she hung up.

Yamato heard the click on the other end of the line but he didn't put down the receiver. He was in shock. One minute all was right in the world and the next his best friend could be dieing.

In a daze Yamato hung up the phone and turned off the stove. He was going to that hospital even if he had to walk. He wrote a note for his father just in case he was there all night and set out for the hospital, on foot. 'Just hold on buddy. I'm coming. Just hold on!'

Hold on is what Tai did. He was still in a critical state but the doctors thought that he would live. No one was allowed to see him yet but they would be able to soon.

Yamato arrived an hour before the doctor said they could go in so he took the time ask how he was doing.

"Well he's in a bad way but the doctors think he'll do fine."

"Why did he stop breathing?"

"We don't know."

"Then ask the doctors."

"They don't know ether."

Matt paled.

"Don't worry Yamato. Tai will do just fine."

"I wish I had your conviction Hikari. I truly wish I did."

"Doctor? Can we see him now?"

"Yes you can. He's stabilized right now and is semi-conscious."

"Oh Thank You!! Thank You!!"

"But I'm afraid that you can't go in sir. It's family only."

Hikari knowing that Yamato would be crushed if he didn't see if Tai was ok stepped in before anyone said anything.

"But doctor. He is family." The doctor was no fool and saw the lie for what it was. But he let him go in anyway.

The sounds of a respirator and a heart monitor filled the room. The slow rise and fall of Tai's chest was the only visible sign of life. Mrs. Yagami flew to he sons side and cried. Mr. Yagami stood behind her with a gentle had resting on he shoulder. He barely kept the tears in his eyes from rooming free. Haikari and Yamato were frozen in the doorway.

Hikari was the first to move. She slowly made her way to the foot of Tai's bed. Where she stood, gazing at her listless brother. Silent tears fell down her face leaving glistening trails down her face.

Slowly Yamato moved too. He stood opposite Tai's parents. His face was emotionless as he stared at his best friend. 'He looks like he's sleeping. Just like he's sleeping. Except for the tubes that he's hooked up to.' Yamato slowly got down on his knees. He griped the hand that Mrs. Yagami didn't have and just held it.

A raw, tired voice rang out "I'm not dead yet so stop crying."

"Tai!! Oh my baby!!"

"Welcome back to the land of the living son."

"Oh Big Brother!"

Yamato just kneeled there without saying a word. Tai's hand still held in his.

"What is this? I don't get a hi?"

Yamato smiled a watery smile and nearly let himself cry. His throat was too tight to say anything so he just lifted Tai's hand to his forehead.

"Oh come on people. Please stop crying over me."

"You idiot. Just let us cry. You should save your energy."

"The first words out of your mouth are insults. It's nice to see you too."

"Tai Yagami don't you ever scare us like this again!! I'll ground you if you do! Do you understand?"

"I love you too mom."

"Oh my baby!!"

"Dad could you please make her stop?"

"No I can't."

"You gave me quite a scare brother. I just thought you were playing with me."

"Sorry Hikari. I'll try not to scare you again."

"Ok."

"*Yawn* But for now I think I'll sleep." He was gone as soon as he finished his sentence.

"I think I'll get some coffee. Anyone of you want anything?"

"No dear."

"No thanks dad."

"Yamato, do you want anything?"

"No sir."

"Dad I'll go with you. I need to stretch my legs."

"Ok. You two sure you don't want anything?"

"Yes we're sure."

"Alright then. Let's go."

They slowly left the room leaving the two awake occupants to their separate vigils as the morning star raised behind them.

Ok so these chapters are short. I'm sorry about that but I just can't help it. My plot lines tend to move fast. So anyho did you guys like it? I hope you did. I decided to make up my own disease for Tai. You'll see its affects more latter on.

I really hope this was a good part. I wrote it in 1 hour and 25 minutes. Please tell me if it's good. Well gotta go.

Nights!!!

Tears fall down like rain while I try to withstand the pain.
