A/N: Thanks for the reviews and your criticism as well. I was feeling rather moody, so I felt like blowing up in the story. Why Kari? Because I wasn't exactly feeling like making her 'angelic' and 'perfect' that night. Anyway, I'll try and lighten up. On with the story.
THE WILL TO PLAY
On a normal Odaiba night, you wouldn't see an ambulance racing through the streets. On a normal Odaiba night, you wouldn't see police cars flocking around a street. And on a normal Odaiba night, you wouldn't have seen a depressed young man show a true act of courage and spirit to risk his life trying to save another, who also happened to be the young woman who had shattered his heart into tiny little grains.
"Doctor! Doctor! We have a serious emergency that needs your experience!" yelled a nurse through the telecom. "I'm on my way, move them to the E.R. I will meet you there!" The doctor ran from his office and into the E.R. He wasn't expecting see the young victims as two he knew personally. "Hikari? Daisuke?" He knew these two, as they were friends and fellow digidestined along with his son.
Blood, bruises, broken bones. Two young kids who have their whole life ahead of them, now fighting death. The veteran doctor was not expecting this sort of situation.
"What's the situation?!" he asked, as he pulled on his surgical gloves." The nurse gave him a gaunt look. "One of them has a bad laceration on the head, possibly cutting down into the skull." The doctor winced at this. "Other than that, the left arm is broken and just some minor scratches." She showed him to another file. "This one took the hit. The force of the car was enough to be knocked out, scans show that the top part of the cranium was shattered, but not completelty fall apart. I believe that he will suffer amnesia from that. Moving on, the right arm scan shows that the upper bone has cracked in two. The other arm is fine. Both legs broken, and chest lacerations." She finished.
The doctor couldn't hold himself, he let out curse that nearly the whole hospital heard. The nurse couldn't help herself either, she started sobbing at the poor young kids.
Doctor's P.O.V
It was a miracle surgery, everyone believed that my knowledge and years of doing this pulled me through. I didn't believe it. I knew it was God who gave me the power to pull it off. I never actually believed I could've done this. I had never done this sort of surgery before. Sure, I've done a lot of emergency surgery's involving car crashes, but none like this. These were kids, they were more fragile than the adult. From the moment he started surgery, I knew I was in for a heck of a ride. Normally for these cases, a successful surgery would've had taken me less than 7 hours. This took more than 13 hours, because of the amount of damage to body.
I had set my colleague to operate on Hikari, while me and a couple of other specialists dealt with the more serious task of operating on Daisuke. I had to admire him, when I heard about his act of courage, I knew he was a true hero. About 6 hours into the operation to save him, I was beginning to think that this was impossible to do, the pieces of the shattered skull were all over the place. My colleagues urged me on, gave me support, and encouraged me. They gave me some hope, and I was thankful. In my mind, I started praying to God, to help me through this, give me the strength to carry on. Without his help, I doubt that I could finish this.
I felt, warm when I finished praying. Like rejuvenated, a new strength, and my hopes were rising. I continued the surgery and after a long 13 hour surgery, he was bandaged up and sent into recovery.
Doctors praised me, nurses flocking around, telling me how well he had done. I stood there, just relieved that I had done a successful job. I walked outside into the night, and looked up at the sky. I thanked God for his help and strength. I was glad that I was able to save a life, not just any life, but a life vital for the sake of the Earth, and the other realm.
"Dad?" I turned around as I heard a voice. It was my son, Joe. He surprised me when he ran up to me and gave me a hug. I wasn't really expecting this, he never did this usually, only when we were at home. "Thanks for saving my friends." he said. I smiled. "I'm glad I was able to. As long as they're your friends, I consider them family as well, even if I don't know them that well." ***********************************
"Yamato, it's Tai, I'm in the hospital. Yes, yes I'm fine. It's my sister and Daisuke. What? You didn't hear? No, a car crash, I haven't heard the whole story. Yeah, come, and Takeru can come too. Can you contact the others? Thanks." he hung up.
Taichi had arrived at the hospital not too long ago. He hurriedly asked the nurse to give him the room number of her sister's and Daisuke's. Thankfully for him, they were both in the same room. He rushed for the elevator which took him up to the 5th floor, where he found his sister with bandages around her head, and a cast on her left arm. He ran in, and got a chair and sat down. Tears came to his eyes as he propped his elbows on the bed. A red patch had formed itself just above her eye, the blood had seeped through the think bandages somehow. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here Hikari.I'm so sorry, I've let you down again, please forgive me..." He sobbed. He then got up, and walked to the bed that was on the other side. On the bed, was Daisuke, with even more bandages on his head, and his chest covered up with thick gauze. His right arm was laid in a cast as well. "Daisuke.thanks to you, my little sister is still alive. I don't know how to repay man.but I swear, you are the most courageous I have ever seen. You truly do deserve the crest of courage, since you showed it today, with your will to save a person who showed disrespect to you." "Taichi." a voice that he knew oh so well, Sora Takenouchi. "Oh.you. Hello" He said through gritted teeth. Ever since she turned him down for Yamato, he had become more distant from her. Eventually, he started ignoring her, and when they were actually talking, he would talk in a cold manner. Sora walked in and stood by Hikari's bed. Taichi stood up and walked to the opposite side of her bed. "How are they doing? I heard it on the news, and Yamato called me saying that he'll be here with the others." She whispered. "My sister's fine, Daisuke on the other hand." he pointed to Daisuke, and Sora's eyes travelled to where Daisuke was. "Oh my.poor Daisuke." As she saw the appearance of him. "The doctors say that the force of the car may have damaged the brain, he might suffer amnesia when he wakes up." He said. "Oh dear.and Hikari-san?" "She had a cut on the head, that's fine, nothing to worry about. Her arm's broken though." Sora nodded, and an awkward silence followed. "How are you Tai? I haven't talked to you for a long time. What's wrong?" she asked, with concern. 'Like you don't know, stupid bi.' he cursed her mentally. "I'm fine thank you." he said coldly, winning the battle to start a verbal bashing. "I'm quite.fine." He kicked himself in the head. 'What the hell was that Yagamii?' "Don't play with me Tai.I've known you for a long time, and I can easily tell you're NOT fine, so please, tell me what's bothering you." She asked, more hopefully. "You." he muttered, so that she could hear. "That's what bothering me." he was sure that she couldn't hear him. Unfortunately for him, he was wrong. "I'm bothering you know.then maybe I should leave. God Tai, what's gotten into you? What have I done to make you go.so cold?!" she said, raising her voice. "Oh.like you don't know? How shallow are you?" he replied, again with the cold tone. She realized what he was talking about now. She sighed, "Tai.please talk to me." She touched him on the shoulder, only to be shrugged off. Tai walked to the door, and turned around. "I'll be in the cafeteria. I'll be back when everyone arrives." He said coldly, as he walked out the door. She sighed once again, "Taichi."
Darkness.It was all the young boy could see. He walked around, trying to find some sort of light so he could see.
Daisuke's P.O.V
Where the hell am I? I can barely see a thing. "HELLOOOO!!!!! ANYONE HEAR ME?!" He yelled. Nothing, absolutely quiet. "Damn.first, I get knocked out, now I'm alone in the dark, just perfect, exactly what I need. "OI DAMN YOU. IF ANYONE CAN HEAR ME, SAY SOMETHING!" He yelled again. And again, nothing. "Well.I guess I'm on my own. Hmm...I need some light at least. He looked around, there was nothing around him, just plain darkness. He felt around his waist, and felt his D-3. "AH HA.something useful." He pressed a button on the D-3, and a shining light came out of the device. It wasn't a normal light though, but more of a movie screen. It showed himself on the bed, with his bandages around him. On the opposite side of the room, was Hikari, also with bandages on her head. He saw Sora pacing around the room. "Damn, look at those bandages, I look like a mummy!" he laughed. He took a look at Hikari, and stopped laughing. Replacing his smile, was a look of sadness, anger and.regret. "This was all her fault, I wouldn't be cooped up in this place if it wasn't for HER! Maybe I should've let her get hit by the car." Instantly, he smacked himself on the head. "What the hell was I thinking just then?! Let her die? Impossible, I would never let her die, even if she does hate me." He frowned, "But then again, what good is it to save someone else's life, and still not get rewarded." He kicked himself. "I can't think like that! That's bloody selfish! It's like the wise men said, good things go un-rewarded, or was it the other way around. Argh! I should've paid more attention to English class." He watched Sora pace around the room, until someone came in the door.
Joe and his father came in, and greeted Sora as they saw her. "Ohayou Sora- san. How are you?" asked Joe. "Good good, how about you?" "Just fine, I saw Tai back at the Café, he looked pretty.um, pissed. Do you know why?" he asked. She sighed, "I think I do.but anyway." she looked up at his Dad. "I heard you did the rescue operation. And from what I can see, you did a good job, none of them are dead yet." She said, with a bit of humour in her tone. Mr. Kido laughed lightly. "Yes, not yet anyway. But seriously, the girl seems to be fine, she'll be quite groggy though when she wakes up, and some slight pain in her head. But she'll live." "How about our hero?" she recognised. "Well.that's a bit complicated. You all know that he was hit pretty hard, his head smashed the windscreen into pieces, and caused his skull to shatter too. We were able to piece them back, but we don't know exactly how much damage has been done to his brain. There is a good chance that when he wakes up, he'll be suffering from a bad case of amnesia." "What do you mean, bad case?" "I mean, that this won't just be a temporary thing, I mean.a long term one." "Oh man.what about his family?" "They've been contacted, they're on their way know, and by gosh, his mother can shout.I can still hear my ear ringing, well, enough of me blabbering, I just came to check up on them. So I guess I'll see you around. Take care young lady." He waved and walked off massaging his ears. Joe turned to look at Sora, and said, "I'll go talk to Tai, see what's gotten to him. Wanna come?" he asked. She shook her head, "No.I don't think that would be a good idea, I'll wait here for the others, until they come." Joe shrugged, "Suit yourself, I'll get you some coffee when we come back ok?" "Thanks."
The boy woke up from his dream. Wait, this was no dream, he was still in the darkness, with nothing else around him, except only the scene of where Hikari and himself rested. He sighed when he saw the rest of the team come in and gather around the beds. He heard whispering, and sobs, and tears that came out of the eyes. He himself, felt hot tears coming, but he held them back. Finally, he saw his family come in, he saw his mother rush to his side, and start crying, which even though no one could see him, he felt embarrassed about being hugged and kissed. He was surprised to see Jun there with tears falling freely. Who would of thought that his sister would feel sympathy for him. They had always fought, and barely ever showed each other respect. Yet here she was, crying for him.
"Mum.Dad.Jun, wow, that's a surprise." He said, as he watched his sibling touch his head. He could almost feel his mother kiss him on the cheek and touch him. He felt so.lonely in the darkness. He just wanted to curl up and cry, he wanted desperately just to be held, yet he felt nothing. Nothing that they were doing to him, affected him. He walked around, trying to yell at them, trying to reach them somehow, but to no avail, still he continued. After a while, he started to lose his voice, so he just sat down, hugged his knees and sobbed.
She stood there, watching the whole scene. She didn't know how she came to watching it, all she knew was that when she woke up, she realized that she was surrounded by darkness.
"Ugh.what the?" she shook her head, and she realized that she was hurt at all. She examined herself, she was fine. But then she looked around, absolute Darkness. "Oh man, I really got myself into this one." She yelled out, "TAIIIII! GATOOMOOON! ANYOOONE!?" And in response, nothing. Not one came. She came to feel her Digivice, and she took it out. A bright light filled the area, and a movie-screen shot up. On the scene, she saw Daisuke, in the same position as she was in. In complete darkness, but like her, he too was watching a movie screen. Yet, in his, he could see the hospital room. "Why am I watching him?" she asked to no one in particular. She watched him as he yelled out to everyone in his screen, he yelled and yelled, he cursed and cursed again. He gave up after using too much of his oxygen. She watched him as he looked helpless, and as he curled up and started sobbing. This caught Hikari by surprise. Never before, had she seen the 'fearless' leader crumble into a sobbing manner. True, she had seen him with tears in his eyes, but this was different. Those were tears of 'fear', possibly of being lonely.
It was lucky that she didn't catch the earlier scenes when Daisuke was cursing her.
The young man watched on as the crowd gathered around, and started praying for him and Hikari. He wasn't watching his body, but rather at Hikari's. He was still hurt and angered about what she had done, but still, deep down inside, was the love that he had for her. So many times had he tried to demolish it, yet it stood as an impossible wall to break down. "Hikari- chan, I don't believe it, how the hell could you still have my heart, even after you pierced it. Why can't I just shut you out completely? No. I still love you. I hate you, but I love you." Now he started blabbering on. "I don't make any sense now.I just.yeah. Whatever, I don't care anymore, I don't care if Yagamii hates me, life goes on, it's my time to move on, yeah, my time to move on. There are better girls than her around, and I'm pretty sure they actually have a heart, unlike her. But still...I want her. No, it's over, the friendship's gone.It's my time to move on."
She stood, tears in her eyes. She had heard every last word of it, and she did blame herself for it, it was her fault for blowing up at him. She wasn't meant to, but she did. She did like him, so why did she go off at him, and slap him too? She was angry at herself, angry at why she didn't go after him to apologize. "Daisuke.I want you to know, that I am sorry.please, I really want to talk to you. I want to talk to you, I want to apologize, I want to.tell you how I feel.please, I want to talk, I don' t know how, I just do." She sobbed, down on her knees. She didn't notice the light from her D-3 shining.
A warm light surrounded Daisuke, he started to feel warm, comfortable, cosy. "What the? Where' s the light coming fro." He never finished as the light engulfed him.
The girl was still sobbing, and muttering some curses. She never noticed the shining light until it became a bit too bright for her. She looked up and immediately regretted it, she shielded her eyes from the bright light. "Ack.what's this?!" The light dimmed down after a while, and she opened her eyes. She could barely make out the blurry figure standing in front of her. The blur became clear and she gasped, as did the other figure.
"Hikari-chan." he whispered, not believing his very own eyes.
"Dai-kun." she whispered, not believing her own eyes either. "Dai-kun." she whispered again.
He couldn't believe it, one moment crying his heart about her, and now there she stood. If that surprised him, then he couldn't believe the next surprise.
She took a step forward, then flung herself into his arms.
"DAI-KUN!" she yelled as she dived at him. She was caught by his strong arms, and she wrapped herself around him, embracing him as if he had just come back from the dead.
He didn't what had just happened, all he knew, was that the girl he let go had flung herself onto him, and started hugging him as though he was a teddy bear. She was warm, and she felt very comfortable to hug. His shock was recovering from what had happened. He wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her back. Although he was still broken, he felt the need to comfort her, even if it there wasn't anything in it for him, just to see her happy was good enough.
He shirt was soaked from Hikari's tears, and she looked up at him, he saw the look of her eyes, and he wasn't looking at the girl who broke his heart, but of a girl who seemed helpless and lost. She looked like a child, so innocent. His heart began thumping a hundred quicker than normal.
Her next action nearly sent him into heaven. She looked up at the man whom she had shattered. Her eyes, brimmed with tears. Her energy was fading away from crying, and she felt like fainting. So, gathering up the last remaining bits of energy she had left.
She pulled away a bit, but still in his arms, she stood up on her toes.
She kissed him. She kissed him on the lips with all the last remaining energy she had left. She felt her legs buckle, and her eyes closed as she fainted in his arms.

Daisuke's P.O.V
Where the hell am I? I can barely see a thing. "HELLOOOO!!!!! ANYONE HEAR ME?!" He yelled. Nothing, absolutely quiet. "Damn.first, I get knocked out, now I'm alone in the dark, just perfect, exactly what I need. "OI DAMN YOU. IF ANYONE CAN HEAR ME, SAY SOMETHING!" He yelled again. And again, nothing.

Joe shrugged, "Suit yourself, I'll get you some coffee when we come back ok?" "Thanks."
The boy woke up from his dream. Wait, this was no dream, he was still in the darkness, with nothing else around him, except only the scene of where Hikari and himself rested. He sighed when he saw the rest of the team come in and gather around the beds. He heard whispering, and sobs, and tears that came out of the eyes. He himself, felt hot tears coming, but he held them back. Finally, he saw his family come in, he saw his mother rush to his side, and start crying, which even though no one could see him, he felt embarrassed about being hugged and kissed. He was surprised to see Jun there with tears falling freely. Who would of thought that his sister would feel sympathy for him. They had always fought, and barely ever showed each other respect. Yet here she was, crying for him.
"Mum.Dad.Jun, wow, that's a surprise." He said, as he watched his sibling touch his head. He could almost feel his mother kiss him on the cheek and touch him. He felt so.lonely in the darkness. He just wanted to curl up and cry, he wanted desperately just to be held, yet he felt nothing. Nothing that they were doing to him, affected him. He walked around, trying to yell at them, trying to reach them somehow, but to no avail, still he continued. After a while, he started to lose his voice, so he just sat down, hugged his knees and sobbed.
She stood there, watching the whole scene. She didn't know how she came to watching it, all she knew was that when she woke up, she realized that she was surrounded by darkness.
"Ugh.what the?" she shook her head, and she realized that she was hurt at all. She examined herself, she was fine. But then she looked around, absolute Darkness. "Oh man, I really got myself into this one." She yelled out, "TAIIIII! GATOOMOOON! ANYOOONE!?" And in response, nothing. Not one came. She came to feel her Digivice, and she took it out. A bright light filled the area, and a movie-screen shot up. On the scene, she saw Daisuke, in the same position as she was in. In complete darkness, but like her, he too was watching a movie screen. Yet, in his, he could see the hospital room. "Why am I watching him?" she asked to no one in particular. She watched him as he yelled out to everyone in his screen, he yelled and yelled, he cursed and cursed again. He gave up after using too much of his oxygen. She watched him as he looked helpless, and as he curled up and started sobbing. This caught Hikari by surprise. Never before, had she seen the 'fearless' leader crumble into a sobbing manner. True, she had seen him with tears in his eyes, but this was different. Those were tears of 'fear', possibly of being lonely.
It was lucky that she didn't catch the earlier scenes when Daisuke was cursing her.
The young man watched on as the crowd gathered around, and started praying for him and Hikari. He wasn't watching his body, but rather at Hikari's. He was still hurt and angered about what she had done, but still, deep down inside, was the love that he had for her. So many times had he tried to demolish it, yet it stood as an impossible wall to break down. "Hikari- chan, I don't believe it, how the hell could you still have my heart, even after you pierced it. Why can't I just shut you out completely? No. I still love you. I hate you, but I love you." Now he started blabbering on. "I don't make any sense now.I just.yeah. Whatever, I don't care anymore, I don't care if Yagamii hates me, life goes on, it's my time to move on, yeah, my time to move on. There are better girls than her around, and I'm pretty sure they actually have a heart, unlike her. But still...I want her. No, it's over, the friendship's gone.It's my time to move on."
She stood, tears in her eyes. She had heard every last word of it, and she did blame herself for it, it was her fault for blowing up at him. She wasn't meant to, but she did. She did like him, so why did she go off at him, and slap him too? She was angry at herself, angry at why she didn't go after him to apologize. "Daisuke.I want you to know, that I am sorry.please, I really want to talk to you. I want to talk to you, I want to apologize, I want to.tell you how I feel.please, I want to talk, I don' t know how, I just do." She sobbed, down on her knees. She didn't notice the light from her D-3 shining.
A warm light surrounded Daisuke, he started to feel warm, comfortable, cosy. "What the? Where' s the light coming fro." He never finished as the light engulfed him.
The girl was still sobbing, and muttering some curses. She never noticed the shining light until it became a bit too bright for her. She looked up and immediately regretted it, she shielded her eyes from the bright light. "Ack.what's this?!" The light dimmed down after a while, and she opened her eyes. She could barely make out the blurry figure standing in front of her. The blur became clear and she gasped, as did the other figure.
"Hikari-chan." he whispered, not believing his very own eyes.
"Dai-kun." she whispered, not believing her own eyes either. "Dai-kun." she whispered again.
He couldn't believe it, one moment crying his heart about her, and now there she stood. If that surprised him, then he couldn't believe the next surprise.
She took a step forward, then flung herself into his arms.
"DAI-KUN!" she yelled as she dived at him. She was caught by his strong arms, and she wrapped herself around him, embracing him as if he had just come back from the dead.
He didn't what had just happened, all he knew, was that the girl he let go had flung herself onto him, and started hugging him as though he was a teddy bear. She was warm, and she felt very comfortable to hug. His shock was recovering from what had happened. He wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her back. Although he was still broken, he felt the need to comfort her, even if it there wasn't anything in it for him, just to see her happy was good enough.
He shirt was soaked from Hikari's tears, and she looked up at him, he saw the look of her eyes, and he wasn't looking at the girl who broke his heart, but of a girl who seemed helpless and lost. She looked like a child, so innocent. His heart began thumping a hundred quicker than normal.
Her next action nearly sent him into heaven. She looked up at the man whom she had shattered. Her eyes, brimmed with tears. Her energy was fading away from crying, and she felt like fainting. So, gathering up the last remaining bits of energy she had left.
She pulled away a bit, but still in his arms, she stood up on her toes.
She kissed him. She kissed him on the lips with all the last remaining energy she had left. She felt her legs buckle, and her eyes closed as she fainted in his arms.
