The Sight
Chapter 9 - A friendly Encounter
"Yes. I'm dead." Taichis mother stated simply.
"Why didn't Taichi tell me?"
"What? That his parents are dead? Would you tell that to your new boyfriend?"
Yamato looked at her stunned.
"What? Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I don't know what happens to my little Taichi."
"Well, I guess you're right. But why didn't you go and see him instead?"
"Because Taichis apartment is full of talismans that don't let me in."
"I thought they didn't let evil ghosts in."
"Well, apparently they don't let good ones like me in either. But that's not the reason for why I came here."
"Then why did you come?"
"I came to warn you."
"Warn me from what?" Yamato sat down on his bed watching every step that Taichis mother made.
"From the evil that's coming."
"Evil? I think it's been here for a while."
"What? The girl and the boy?"
"You know them?"
"No not personly but they're nothing to what's coming. You need to be prepared."
"How? How can we prepare ourselves for something that we don't even know when it's coming and what it is. I mean we can't even fight ghosts!"
"Samantha can."
"What? You mean with her magic?"
"Yes. Dragon magic is a very powerful thing but she hasn't unlocked half of her power yet. She could be much stronger."
"So how does she become stronger?"
"I can't tell you."
"What? Why not?"
"Because I only have a limited time here and I'm not allowed to tell you that sort of information, it's something Samantha has to find out for herself. Oh, but give her this it will help her find the way."
Taichis mother opened one of her hands and on it was a red juwel that had it's own little glow. Yamato walked up to her and took the stone.
"What is it?"
"It's a garnet. They are mysterious stones, Sam will know what to do with it." She said smiling at Yamato.
"How come can I see ghosts? I havn't got the sight have I?"
"Yamato dear, this might be a shock but you do have the gift to see ghosts. You've had it all your life but never realized it."
Yamato seemed extremely confused and Taichis mother noticed it.
"Yamato, did you ever believe in ghosts?"
"Now I do."
"Before you met Taichi?"
Yamato paused. It was true before the incident in the night club he didn't ever think that ghosts really exsisted. But when he experienced it first hand it was hard not to believe in ghosts.
"So I couldn't see them because I didn't believe in ghosts?"
"That's right. A lot of children are born with this gift but when they start not to believe in it, the gift fades away and is forgotten. Your encounter with Taichi has awakened you gift again after all these years."
"So I'm just like Taichi and never realized it?"
"Taichi knew you were like him. He just never told you."
"How did he know?"
"He sensed it. Taichi has known that he is psychic since he was a little boy and his senses are trained more than yours. But there is some difference in the powers from you two but I'm not sure what the difference is."
"Is Taichi stronger than me?"
"At the moment of course he is but once you have trained your senses you'll soon grow strong aswell."
"This evil you were talking about.. is it a ghost as well?"
"It is a ghost, but a special kind of ghost. It is far more evolved than just normal ghosts. Think of it as a much bigger and stronger version of that little ghost girl who did that to you."
She pointed to the cut on Yamatos arm that still hadn't healed allthough it was a few days old.
"I thought ghosts couldn't hurt you."
"They can't."
"Then how did she do this?"
"That girl wasn't a normal ghost, she was an elemental ghost."
At that precise moment the front door bursted open and Yamato could hear Sam and Taichi run into the apartment.
"Yamato are you all right?" Sam shouted through the apartment.
Yamato looked angrily at the door to his room and Taichis mother understood why.
"Don't worry. I put a sleeping spell on TK, so he wont wake up."
Sam came bursting into Yamatos room and stared at him she looked around the room confused and then at Yamato again.
"Taichi said he saw a weird light in your room so we came over to see if you're allright."
"Well, I'm perfectly fine. I think..."
"Hey Taichi? There's no light in here."
Sam called out to Taichi who was still in the livingroom. Taichi came walking in and looked at Yamato.
"There isn't? Then what did I see?" Taichi looked around and gasped.
"What's wrong Taichi are you allright?" Sam asked worried about her friend.
"It-..it.. It's my mother." Was all that Taichi could say staring at his mother in disbelief.
"Where?" Sam was so confused then Yamato remembered.
"Oh, you can't see her."
"How come?"
"Because she's dead."
Taichi had answered her question before Yamato could even open his mouth to reply.
"Hello Taichi." Was all his mother said as she stood there watching her son who was watching her.
"Why havn't you ever visited me?" Taichi asked with tears building up in his eyes.
"I couldn't. You've got all those talismans in your apartment, I couldn't find a way in. I've been trying for so long, I even had to change the time to the time when I died so that I could at least talk to Yamato."
"Why did you leave me?" he asked as a tear ran down his cheek.
"Oh, Taichi I didn't leave you. I never meant for the accident to happen."
"He did though."
"Taichi?" Yamato looked at Taichi, he had never seen Taichi like this before. Taichis eyes were full of anger and hate.
"I told him that I wasn't like everybody else and that I was gay and he hated me for what I was."
"So you know the truth. Then I'm sure you know what is happening don't you?" his mother said to him.
"Taichi?" Sam asked. She seemed highly confused. It was no wonder really since she couldn't hear what Taichis mother was saying. Yamato gestured to Sam that she should leave Taichi alone and she sat quietly down on the chair next to Yamatos desk.
"I'm not sure but I've been having nightmares lately about the accident. But mostly they were about him."
"Taichi why didn't you tell us?" Yamato asked.
"I couldn't Yama, I just couldn't. There was you having encounters with ghosts, Sam was doing the best to protect me with her spells and I didn't want to make things worse!" He shouted, tears streaming down his face, he just couldn't take it anymore.
"Taichi it's allright. You did what you thought was best and that's all you could have done. None of this is your fault."
"You think?" Taichi asked Yamato whiping his face with the sleeve of his jumper.
"Of course not." Yamato said softly to Taichi as he walked over to him. Yamato took Taichi into his arms and Taichis mother smiled.
"I'm so happy that you finally found the right person Taichi, but you know what must be done when the time comes."
"Yes, mother. I do."
His mother smiled at him and looked at the clock hung on the wall of his room.
"I'm really sorry but I need to go now. I'm afraid my time is up."
"Can't you tell us any more about what is coming?"
"No, I'm really sorry but I just can't. Remember to give Sam the garnet and Taichi you know what you must do. Stay strong all of you, you can get through this if you stick together."
She said good bye again for one more and last time as she slowly disappeared and the room was once again swallowed by darkness. Taichi fell to his knees crying and Sam rushed to his side to help Yamato hold him up. Yamato took the shining garnet out of his pocket and gave it to Sam. She looked at it for a moment and then took it, looking at knowingly.
"Do you know what to do with it?" Yamato asked hoping that she would.
"Yeah, there's a ritual that has been performed for centurys in our family that involves the mystical garnet. I guess I'll have to read up on it."
"Yeah but not tonight. I think we should all get some sleep tonight."
"Ok, but what about Taichi? He's to weak to go back over to our apartment."
"Let him sleep here. I'll watch over him and you'll be able to rest for some research tomorrow."
"Well, I guess it's the best idea to leave him here. I'll go over to our apartment. See you tomorrow, and don't you dare let anything happen to him. Or I'll kill you!"
"My, how many times are people going to threaten me today?"
Sam left the apartment and Yamato brought Taichi over to his bed. Laying him down on it, Taichi woke up again and looked at Yamato confused.
"What happened?"
"You fell asleep just as your mother left. You've got to get some rest."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
"Me? I'm gonna sleep on the couch. I could always sleep in here if you want me to. I just thought that the floor would be a bit hard."
"Oh Yamato, I want you to be by my side. I would feel a lot more safer that way. "
"Isn't the bed a bit to small for two people?"
"Not if I make room for you."
Taichi made enough room for Yamato to fit in the bed as well, so Yamato got in next to Taichi and put his arms around him. It only took a few minutes before they were both fast asleep.

A/N: Oh dear there was a lot of dialog in that chapter, I hope you liked it as much as I did. This time I thought I'd better leave a cliffhanger out of it since I've done it so many times before. Well, I'll post the next chapter soon (I hope) so please Read & Review!!! ^-^
