As usual, there's a disclaimer: Digimon is not mine. Simple, isn't it?

Chapter 10 : The Guest (Kaoru's POV)
When I woke up later that morning, I still heard Rei crying. Her first cry almost made me nervous because it made me thought that Yama-san was dead, when actually he wasn't. but the news that he was in the ICU made her crying even worse.
Hmph. Children nowadays…
Just now Taichi-san and Mr. Ishida visited us. We had a little chat about what happened earlier, what I thought and such… They promised to visit us again and asked us to take care of Yamato. I definitely would, because he seemed to be my new 'Aoi' now.
"Konnichiwa, mina-san (Good afternoon, all)," a greet from a very familiar voice rang into my ears. Of course, the 'young one' Ken Ichijouji came to visit us as usual. Then I caught a sight of Yama-san behind him.
Rei was the first to notice, and began stammering, "I…Ishida-kun?" Yes, the boy looked slightly like Yamato – blond hair, blue eyes – except his hair was quite messy. He wore a green long-sleeved shirt and a pair of green trousers.
However Ken laughed lightly to see our reaction, and introduced 'the other Yamato' to us. "This is Takeru, Matt's younger sibling," he said.
Younger sibling? "My family name is Takaishi," the boy said. "We're separated siblings after our parents divorced."
Oh. I could see it now. As I never knew that Yama-san had siblings, I was quite surprised to hear that. But why didn't he tell us earlier that he had a sibling?
"Uh… where's Matt?" Ken's question caught my ears and I told the boys that he's in the ICU. Upon hearing that answer, they were shocked, especially Ken. When Ken last visited Yamato, he seemed okay but today he was sent to the ICU. Takeru? Heh. He knows nothing.
I finally showed them where Yamato was and there he was, covered by tubes and wires with machines and medicines surrounding him… All three of us, especially that 'Yamato's brother' watched helplessly as Yamato lying there slumbering peacefully.
"How did it happen?" Ken asked. I just told them that something was bothering his mind that night and I thought it caused him to suffer more. Ken nodded, understood what I meant but Takeru didn't seem to understand, especially the 'what' that bothered his brother. And what, he couldn't believe the fact that the one thing bothering Yamato was his ex-girlfriend Sora! He thought Sora really loved Yamato but Ken, Taichi-san, Rei and I were the witnesses of his rejection.
On the way back to my room, I asked Ken whether Takeru is really Yamato's sibling. His replies? "Actually I don't really know about it either, I just know that recently." I narrowed my eyes, searching for an explanation. "People say that they are siblings, but I never heard T.K. call Matt 'brother', even when they are near." I only made a silent "Oh" as I understood all the things he said. Sounds like the two aren't really close siblings.
Sigh.
Before the two friends went out from the hospital, I told Takeru, "Please try to visit Yama-san more often. He needs friends to support him right now." He just nodded and walked out.
"I don't know how to say this, Kaoru-chan, but I really doubt he would visit Ishida-kun without a fight next time," I heard Rei said. What she meant is the next time Takeru visits his brother, there would be a family quarrel or something.
Hmph. People are so complicated nowadays…

The next chapter would have a fight! Uhh… not a real fight, really, it's just a quarrel… ^^;;;
