A/N: Mel: I have one thing to say, Taichi, since you're reviewing and such…. POST TRAUMATIC SHOCK SYNDROME!!!

Pietro: What she is trying to say is that Taichi doesn't have a wet mop for a brain/personality he just can't use what little he has because of the shock… ^_^

Yama: **wheels over in a wheelchair and bops him upside the head** STOP DISSING MY TAI-CHAN!!

Dai: yeah.. We're continuing…

******************************************************************************

Nikki sat by the window as Taichi paced back and forth. TK was using two chairs as a bed and sleeping at the moment. Mrs. Takaishi was at home leaving the three teens with her elder son.

"Nik, why isn't she still here?" Taichi asked plopping down in a chair next to the girl.

"Because she can't seem to care about him enough…"

"I have to say it…. She's a bitch…"

"I've said it before…. You won't be the last Tai-san… that's the sad thing.." Nikki told him. Yamato stirred a bit. The two bolted over to the bed, one on each side of the blonde. "Yamato? Yamato-Onii?"

"Nikki?" Matt asked as he blinked and finally saw her. "Where?"

"The hospital. AGAIN! Really Yamato, is it nessacery?"

"Guess not…" Yamato said before looking over to the other side, expecting to see TK, but saw Taichi. "Taichi?" The blonde paled greatly and looked quite frankly frightened to the core.

"Why, Yama?" Taichi asked him taking his hand and sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I guess… I couldn't handle it…" Yamato said quietly. "Tai-kun, where's TK?"

"Asleep, just over there…" the brunette nodded to where the younger blonde was dozing. Nikki shook her head a bit, black hair flowing in front of her eyes. It was a pretty shabby cut, but she usually had it styled funny. She'd washed her hair though in the shower of Matt's room to get the blood out of it so it was kinda just fluffy there. It was only barely to her eyes at that moment; too much more movement and she wouldn't be able to see because of it.

"I'm sorry…" Yamato said quietly to the two of them.

"Hey, know what?" Nikki said also sitting on the bed.

"What?" the blonde asked as she took his hand.

"We're sorry too… Even though I still won't say it to Tai…"

"Temporary choking… you didn't kill me so it's cool," the brunette reasoned. Yamato looked at Nikki funny.

"I was serious when I said I was going to go after him," she paused to look at her watch, "yesterday morning. I went to his house and yelled and argued with him before we went to your apartment and found you… Can I ask a very serious question here?"

"Yeah.. I guess…" the two boys responded.

"I know what Taichi was thinking surprisingly he was… But, Yama-Onii… WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKNING???" she hissed at him.

"Can I say I wasn't and not get hurt… you need chocolate or some other form of caffeine…" the blonde answered.

"Very true… and probably therapy. But that's beside the point. So, talk you two… I know the whole story up to here and I want to see the ending…. TK is out like a light and this is as private as you're getting for a while," the coal-haired teen reasoned.

"Yamato… I'm sorry about what I did… It was stupid.. I wanted to tell you what I felt for you but I was afraid of what others might do to you. I didn't care what happened to me, but I wanted to make sure you were okay… So I stayed away until I could figure out how things could go and everything… I didn't mean for things to be like this.. I was going to give you a letter yesterday to try and explain my self but then this happened… I'm so sorry Yama-chan…. Can you forgive me?" Taichi said this in an uncertain rush. Nikki smiled as Yamato stared at the brunette jock with wide eyes that were beginning to tear up in joy and happiness instead of pain and suffering.

"If you can ever forgive me Tai-chan.." the blonde whispered gripping his hand tighter.

Nikki smiled and released Matt's hand as the two smiled to each other and nodded their forgiveness before kissing. Nikki shook her head as she felt tears of happiness well up in her eyes for the two… things were turning out okay now… TK woke up to see Taichi kissing his brother. The blonde made a funny face and tried to speak but gave up before coming over and hugging Nikki around the shoulders. The nurse came in to see the four talking happily and Yamato was making a complete recovery.  She left to tell the doctor what she'd seen.

AN: sorry so short but I hit a road block… things will get clearer again I hope…. **Shifty eyes**
