Hey long time no update. I've been really busy. Since I haven't updated in years, I made this chapter kind of long too. Also, my editor didn't edit this before I posted because I'm impatient. ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I'm a broke teenager who happens to own a multi-million dollar franchise known as Digimon. Get real.
Hikari and Takeru stepped in the large parking garage. She just looked around for a second, lost. There were hundreds of cars, trucks, SUV's, more than half of them of a black color.
"You know what, maybe we should take your truck," she suggested and cracked a weak grin.
"Oh no, we should take Yamato's car," Takeru grinned back.
"Oh, ok" Hikari hesitated.
"You know where it's parked, don't you?" Takeru asked.
"Oh yeah" Hikari lied as she took the keys out of her pocket and turned to her left. She pressed the tiny unlock button. Two lights flashed right in front of her. "Baka*, it was right there" she thought to herself.
"Hmmm." Takeru grunted.
"Hmmm." Hikari grunted. After their lack of words, they walked up to the car.
"Hey, we'll have to get your picture for the mantel" Takeru said as he was lying on the bed. The nurse rolled up his sleeves as she prepared to draw blood.
"A picture of-of me? Nani?*" Hikari asked while sitting on a bed 3 feet away from his.
"No, of you and Yamato."
"I'm not that photogenic," Hikari said, remembering her non-existent photo of her and Yamato. She swung her legs around off the bed.
"I doubt that," Takeru commented, suspiciously.
"Ok now I want you to sip this or else you'll get woozy." The nurse said as he handed Hikari a cup. She was short with pinned up hair and had all sorts of mismatched clothes on.
"When did you start seeing Yamato?" Takeru asked.
"September 17." Hikari lied. It came off the top of her head because that used to be her okaasan's birthday*. She took a sip of the stuff the nurse gave her and cringed at its horrible taste.
"3 months, that's quick," Takeru commented.
"You have no idea," Hikari took another sip and set the cup on a nearby table.
"That's fast, that-" Hikari walked away before Takeru could finish.
"Miss!" the nurse shouted.
"I'm fine" Hikari said back.
"I'm not finished with you!" The elderly nurse yelled.
"Don't worry" Takeru said as he stood up. "I got her." He grabbed his coat and walked a few steps, and then fainted.
"Bakayaro,"* the nurse said. "He got woozy."
"What the hell does he have a T.V for?" Mr. Ishida started. "He's in a coma for Christ's sake." The whole family sat in the hospital room, watching over Yamato like guardian angels. Mr. Ishida separated himself from the family since Nancy was there, so he sat on the other side of the room with Sal.
"Malcom,* shh. He might hear you, ya know." Nancy reasoned.
"Then get him a radio," he snapped back.
"Maybe he'd like us to sing to him!" Nancy said cheerfully as Hikari and Takeru entered the room.
"Maybe Hikari knows his favorite song." Malcom wondered.
"Puff the Magic..." Nancy started.
"Dragon." Hikari said in unison with Nancy.
"It's Dragon" Hikari said to Takeru because he asked her that question in the hall.
Sal looked at Hikari and smiled, surprised that she knew Yamato's favorite song.
"Where is Yamato's dream vacation?" Takeru questioned.
"T-The Bahamas" she guessed, knowing that was Mimi's dream vacation.
"Hah!" Takeru shouted. "Everybody wants to go there."
"Favorite food?" He asked.
"Ice cream." She said, remembering his freezer from earlier that day.
"Favorite baseball team?"
"T-Tokyo" she guessed.
"Minor or Major Leagues?*"
"What the heck is going on?" Malcom asked, loudly.
"Why are you asking her all these questions" Nancy asked as she stood up.
"Don't ask me, ask her boyfriend." Takeru said. Hikari looked at Takeru with confused, ruby eyes.
"That isn't very funny, you know." Nancy said while pointing to Yamato's unconscious body.
"No, not this boyfriend. Joe Tanaka."
Hikari chuckled. "Joe Jr.?"
"Hai, that's right.* Mr. Joe Tanaka Jr. He said that you were intimate."
"Yeah, well he also said he invented aluminum foil, he's delusional." Hikari defended.
"He seemed very truthful when I talked to him," Takeru said.
"Oh dear" Lucie started. She grabbed her own chest.
"Ma, are you okay?" Nancy asked.
Malcom walked over to Lucie. "You see what you did?" He said to Takeru.
"Well if she wanted to prove it, she'd prove it" Lucie challenged. The whole family turned to face the brunette.
"Y-Yamato has one testicle." She said remembering the story the lawyer told her.
Everyone started turning his or her heads. "Nani? No way." Takeru said.
"Way. About a month ago, there was an accident, and he was playing basketball and his friend had a pencil in his back pocket."
"Ewww," Lacey cringed. The whole family started cringing after her.
"Maybe, um" Takeru hinted. He started looking at his dad and Malcom looked at Nancy.
"Well somebody's got to look" Malcom encouraged.
"Don't look at me" Lacey said, and then stepped away from the hospital bed.
"Well it's not my, uh" Lucie said.
"Ok" Nancy said. "I'm his mother."
"Ew, mom" Lacey said in disgust.
Nancy pulled up the covers and lowered her head. Her eyes widened.
The elevator doors finally opened. In it was a tall doctor accompanied with by brunette lady. Sal, Lacey, Nancy, Malcom, Lucie, and Takeru all stepped in, making the tiny elevator crowded.
"Well look on the bright side," Lucie said. "He's got more room in his boxer shorts."
"Okaasan..." Nancy said.
Hikari walked into the room labeled 206. She shut the wooden door behind her. She walked up to the nearby closet and banged her head on it once (on purpose). She was about to do serious thinking about this mess she was in when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" She asked.
"What gives?" an accented voice from the other side of the door said. It was Joe Jr. Hikari walked a couple of steps and swung it open.
"You stood me up" Joe Jr. said as he walked into her apartment.
"For what?" Hikari grunted.
"For a date." He replied.
"What date?" she argued.
"To the ice capades! I had to sell your ticket!"
"I never said I would go on a date with you!"
Joe Jr.'s jaw dropped. "Yes you did."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't"
"Did too."
"Didn't."
"Did!"
"Didn't!"
They both heard three loud knocks that interrupted their childish argument.
"Who is it?" Hikari shouted.
"Hikari, it's Sal"
"Oh my god" she whispered. She started pushing Joe Jr. back.
"What, are you two-timing Joe Jr.?" he asked.
"I'm not two-timing, I never one-timed." Hikari opened the closet.
"Hey I'll fight the guy," Joe Jr. said in an act to impress her. He walked towards the door.
"Hey!" she said while she grabbed his arm. "Get in the closet." She led his body to the closet and placed himself inside of it.
"Not a word" she instructed.
"Nice panties" he said as he flung the cotton underwear out. Hikari swiped them from his hand and slammed the closet door. Then Hikari marched up to her front door to greet Sal.
"I like boxer shorts, but I'll try these" Sal joked. Hikari noticed she was holding her own panties and quickly shoved them in her coat pocket.
"Gomen," she said softly*.
"Did you have any company?" he asked after hearing voices outside.
"Oh, no the T.V...was on...next door" she lied. Sal nodded.
"Come in" she invited and Sal took a couple steps to get inside her house. "Do you want some coffee or tea or something?" she offered.
"No, no. Not a thing," he declined. "Hikari there's something you should know."
"What?" she asked, nervously.
"Well the night you visited Yamato, I was outside the door. I know the truth."
Hikari sighed. She knew she was in deep now. She sat down on her couch.
"Sorry Sal, you know don't worry because I'm going to tell them everything."
"Don't tell them a thing." Sal instructed.
Hikari looked up with a puzzled look on her face. Sal approached her and sat down on the sofa.
"Remember the day you said you'd never hurt the family?" he asked.
"Hai," she said.
"Well since they have you, they figure they have Yamato back. If you tell them the truth, you'll take him away again. They need you Hikari, just like you need them. Look, I know you're a good girl,"
Hikari beamed.
"and I know you'll do the right thing" Sal stood up. "Yes, you will." He walked toward the door. "Oh, by the way, how did you know about Yamato and the one, uh..." Hikari shook her head.
"You know something? I don't want to know."
"Jaa, mata" she said before he closed the door.*
Thud.
Hikari walked over to the closet to see what the loud sound was. She opened the door to find Joe Jr. on the floor with a shoe in one hand.
"What are you doing?" she yelled.
"I slipped!" he answered.
"You're trying on my shoes?!" she asked, irritated.
"No, when I fell I went like," he curved his hand "that and fell into the shoe."
Knock.
Hikari walked away from the closet and Joe Jr. "Who is it?" she asked, almost in tears.
"It's me, Takaishi Takeru." He said.
"My God, doesn't anybody use the phone anymore?" she asked to no one in particular.
"I do" Joe Jr. said behind her. He had walked out of the closet.
"I'm not talking about 900 numbers." She said.
"Who told?!" he yelled as Hikari pushed him back in the closet. She slammed the door and walked to her door for the 3rd time that night.
"Hi" Hikari greeted. "So more questions?"
"No," he said with a grin. "It's an engagement present."
"Oh, you shouldn't have,"
"I didn't, it's from my parents."
"Oh."
"It's furniture, want me to bring it up? Oh, was that Sal I saw leaving?"
Tumble. Crash. Thud.
"What was that?" Takeru asked.
"Cat..."
"That's a big cat,"
"You know, I think you should bring it to Yamato's apartment." She suggested.
"You don't know what it is," he said.
"You know, anything would look nicer in Yamato's apartment." Hikari smiled.
Tumble.
"You know what, I'll come with you." She said and she closed the door.
Japanese Lesson

*Bakayaro means damn fool.
*Hai means yes.

Notes/Questions
*Someone told me Malcom was Mr. Ishida's name. Somebody else told me Ken. I said Malcom cause Ken was already used in the show. I don't know whether they are right or not but the show really doesn't say what his name is so I honestly don't have a clue.
*I really don't know if they play baseball in Japan, but the question went along with the story.
