Bite me... (chapter 3)
At the end of the day, Matt was really worried. Tai looked really out of it... During the trip, Tai had almost fallen three times. Tai claimed he tripped over something, but Matt didn't believe him.
They had reached a clearing, with a little pond in the middle. It was a perfect place to stop. They made a campfire, and when everybody was settled, Sora started giving everybody something to eat.
They all started eating, and were talking happily, but Matt wasn't. He was paying extra attention to Tai. Tai was toying with his food, pretending to eat, and when he thought nobody looked, tossed it back in the bag...
Matt decided that he wouldn't say something now, but he would confront Tai later that evening. After diner they divided the watches. "I'll go first", Tai said.
"Oh no, you won't" Matt said, "You need to get some sleep, or you will be sick tomorrow..."
Tai grumbled a bit, but agreed, which made Matt a tad more worried. Tai was agreeing with him...he must be really out of it...
Tai lay down in his sleeping bag. He was glad he didn't have to take a watch, but he would never admit it to the others. Normally he would have disagreed with Matt, but he didn't have the energy.
Now he was laying in his sleeping bag, and was listening to the others. What took them so long? It wasn't that hard to divide the watches...
Tai sighted. 'I think I have to step in if it takes any longer...' But he heard people standing. 'Finally...' Tai thought.
Suddenly he heard someone approaching, and he quickly closed his eyes. "Taichi...are you still awake?"
It was Matt. But Tai wasn't in the mood to talk to him so he pretended to be asleep. Matt mumbled something that sounded very much like 'shit'. That slightly surprised Tai, but he didn't thought long about it.
He waited a while, till he thought everyone was asleep. He opened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the campfire...
Izzy was having first watch. He sat with his back turned to him, and he was busy with his laptop... Tai looked around, and saw that everyone was sleeping.
Tai silently sat up and again removed the black band from his left arm...His arm was hurting like hell now...
He looked at the bite, and saw that it was still bleeding. The skin around the bite was red and swollen. 'Shit' Tai thought. That didn't looked good...
He put back the black band, and tried to get some sleep. But sleep didn't come. He was shifting and turning, and finally, when dawn came, sleep claimed him...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was only three hours later, that Tai awoke, panting and bathing in sweat. He had had a bad dream, a nightmare even. But he couldn't remember what it was about...
When he was breathing normally again, he stood, but almost fell down again... He noticed that he almost couldn't move his left arm...
He walked to the water, and sat down. He slowly let his left arm hang in the cool water. He felt so hot...he was still sweating...
Suddenly, he heard someone behind him, and he quickly pulled his arm out of the water...a bit to quick. A jolt of pain almost made him scream out, but he bit down on his lip, and he squeezed his eyes shut.
After a few seconds, the pain subsided, and he turned around to see who was there...
"So Taichi, why are you up so early? Are you feeling better?" It was Matt. Tai plastered a fake smile on his face, and said: "Yeah, I'm feeling better, thanks..."
Matt sat down next to him, and stared at the water. They where sitting there in silence for a while, when Matt suddenly asked: "Taichi, why aren't you eating?"
Tai gasped, and looked at Matt with big, surprised eyes. "Oh, don't look at me that way. I saw what you did yesterday..."
Tai didn't know what to say...He stared at Matt, when he suddenly heard Sora calling: "Taichi! Yamato!! Breakfast is ready!"
Tai looked at Matt again, than he quickly stood, and got away from him as quickly as he could.
Matt growled, and followed Tai to the rest of the group...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was four hours later, and they were walking again. Only this time, Matt was walking ahead of the group, with TK skipping next to him.
"Thanks Yamato, I really wanted to walk up front for once..." TK babbled. Matt grumbled a "Yeah..."
He wasn't pleased to walk up front. He couldn't keep an eye on Tai this way...Speaking of Tai...where was he?
Matt stopped, and looked around. When he spotted Tai, he gasped... "Taichi! What's wrong?!"
Tai was a bit behind of the group...He looked flushed and was holding his left arm close to him...But what shocked Matt the most, was that Tai had tears in his eyes...He had never seen Tai cry....
Had no one noticed? How long had Tai been walking like this? Matt quickly walked to Tai, and asked again: "Taichi...what's wrong?"
Slowly, Tai turned his head and looked at Matt. "I don't feel so good...." He whispered.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled back in his head, and he just collapsed..."Tai!!" Matt screamed. He could catch Tai just before his head touched the ground...
Matt turned Tai, so he could check on him...He gasped, and the others heard him whisper: "Oh god...god no..."
"What's wrong, Yamato!" Sora almost screamed.
"Taichi..." Matt said with an unsteady voice, "...he isn't breathing..."
TBC...
Matt: WHAT!! :: shakes Sillie:: WHAT DID YOU DO TO TAI!!
Sillie: Calm down!! * coughs *
Tai: Yama....what's wrong?
Matt: TAI!! ::jumps at Tai, and clings to him::
Tai: Euh...
Oh, by the way, I'm no doctor, so I'm not sure if everything is medically right...but hé, it fits in the story... * grins *
Tai: Ahhh...Are you blushing? Hehe.....
Sillie: What?
Tai: Nothing... * grins *
Matt: Tai, what is it?
Tai: ::Whispers something in Matt's ear ::
Matt: * also grins *
Sillie: Euh.... Right....
