Chapter 16 - Father and Son

Darkness surrounded Yamato from all sides. He had no idea how long he had been unconcious after the piece of rubble had fallen from the ceiling and hit his head. All he knew, was that he was now in a different room than the one he was in before. He stood up and looked around the room.

There wasn't much in the room except a table and chair. On the table was a candle which was nearly burnt out. The room seemed to have no exit but Yamato was sure that there was a way out. He searched the walls and even behind the painting that hung alone on one of the walls. Sitting down on the cushioned chair, he gazed at the painting for a while then noticed something strange. The picture wasn't actually a painting, it was really a mirror except for the fact that the candle wasn't lit in the mirror.

Then it dawned on him. He wet his fingers with his tongue and extinguished the flame of the candle. It took a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness, but when they did he noticed the wall with the mirror change. All of a sudden words were slowly appearing all over the wall in a glowing red colour. Once they had all completed themselves he read the words aloud.

"Right is the unknown way down, left is blood at touch but up is safe and clean. If down is right then where does the right way lead and which way is right?"

As he finished reading the word out loud, doors started appearing in the walls. There was a door on the right wall and on the left, there was also a door in the ceiling and in the floor. Trying to make sense of the riddle he sat back down on the chair and thought.

*Well, I can't take the left door because it says . Who knows what would happen if I touched it. Up is safe and clean but that might mean out of the mansion and I havn't found Taichi yet. So it's either right or down.* He went over the riddle again but didn't know which way to go. Then it hit him.

*If down is right then where does the right way lead.. that means the door in the floor is the right way and the door on the right leads somewhere else!*

Having finally worked it out he grabbed the handle of the bottom door and pulled it open, revealing a ladder leading deep down into the ground. He slowly decended the ladder and entered a long corridor of which the end was not visible. It was a dark and extremely damp corridor and there didn't seem to be any lights along it. It might have been dark but you could still see a little bit infront of you.

Yamato walked along the corridor for what seemed like twenty minutes but there was still no sign fo an ending. Although he didn't know for sure how long he had been walking because he seemed to have lost his watch. Trying to look ahead through the darkness he suddenly heard something.

It was just a quiet noise at first but then got louder and louder. He didn't recognize it at first it was just quiet moaning and shouting as if someone was being tortured and seemed to be coming from behind the walls. He stepped up to the wall closest to him and pressed his ear against it in order to hear more but saw that he had done a mistake.

The moaning and groaning was now louder than ever and Yamato realized that it wasn't something behind the walls in pain, in actuall fact the walls themselves were crying out with pain to him. Stepping away from the wall, blood started to drip down in different areas and the walls moved slightly making it look as if they were actually alive and breathing.

"This is too weird." Was all Yamato could say as he resumed in walking down the corridor. After a few minutes the whole walls were covered in blood and still moaning in pain. Yamato didn't know why but he had a horrible feeling that the unimaginable horros Noriaki was talking about had started.

After walking nearly a mile again the corridor finally ended and a door was visable. Like the walls it was too covered in blood and moving ever so slightly to make it look like it had a heart. Yamato reached out for the doorknob. It felt warm at touch which made the fact that it looked alive even more realistic. He opened it slowly and walked through to the next room.

It was a big circular room. The walls here though weren't full of blood or screaming in pain. Instead the walls were actually mirrors reflecting his reflection from all sides of the room. In the middle of the room, on the floor, lie the lifless form of -

"Taichi!"

Yamato ran quickly forwards to see if his love was allright or even still alive but he didn't seem to be getting anywhere. No, he was just running on the spot making no progress what so ever.

"Now, now Yamato. We musn't be to hasty." A deep voice rung through the room.

"It's him." A familiar voice said behind Yamato.

"Sam!" He shouted as he turned round to see her. She had just come through the door and didn't look too good.

"What happened to you?"

Her hair was all disshelved and she had bruses on her face, there was even a cut on her cheek.

"I ran into some poltergeists." She answered flatly as she walked forward to Yamato. She too couldn't seem to make any progress and just walked on the spot.

"Don't even bother trying to go anywhere, kids. I controll what happens in this room and seeing that you two want to get to each other, that ain't going to happen." The deep voice spoke again and this time the owner decided to show himself.

Taichis father came walking out of the mirror wall and walked up to Yamato. He looked a lot like Taichi. His hair might have been a lot shorter but it was wild and standing up just like Taichis. His face had nearly the exact same features Taichis had and size wise, he was just a bit shorter than Yamato.

"Why don't you show yourself, you coward!" Sam all of a sudden shouted from behind Yamato. He turned around and shot her a confused look.

"Sam, he's stood right in front of me." He told her in a matter-of-fact kind of way.

"Oooops."

"Oh yeah, the little witch can't see me can she? Well let's see if we can change that." He waved his arm around the room as if he were beckoning the mirrors to do something and they did.

The mirrors seemed to shift a bit in their position and then turned back to normal. Yamato heard Sam let out a little gasp and then understood. She couldn't actually see him but he had made it change so that now all she could see was his reflection in the mirror.

"What have you done to Taichi?" Yamato shouted more than just asked.

"Nothing." Taichis father replied walking over to Taichi. "He's just sleeping. He'll wake up soon so don't worry."

"Don't worry? Who knows if you're telling the truth? And what exactly is happening to all them walls in the corridors?"

"Their changing. As is everything I expect."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked from behind Yamato.

"The world is changing now that I have finally returned. Everything that once showed no sign of living now lives and the world will now become a better place. You should be glad I came back to help you sort this world out."

"What? Make walls scream in pain and see blood everywhere? You really have a sick vision of a better place."

Yamato was going to continue shouting at him as Taichi suddenly gave signs of life and finally stood up.

"Taichi!"

"Where am I?" He asked confused and then his eyes landed on the ghost of his father. Horror written all over his face.

"You! Why are you back? Can't you just leave me alone?"

"Oh no, Taichi. Is that really a way to greet your dead father? And now why should I leave the two most important things alone? Please tell me."

"What two things?" Yamato asked without really wanting to.

"My son and his boyfriend of course. What else would be so important?"

"Taking over the world maybe?" Sam asked out of the blue as she suddenly chucked a knife at Yamato, which luckily he caught. She gave him a wink and looked back at Taichis father. He knew what she had probably done to it.

"Well there is that. But don't you think that there are more important things than that?" He asked her making it sound as if he wanted her to answer. But she just looked at him blankly and shrugged her shoulders.

"Have you never in your witching life came across any prophecies?"

"Not really. I was never interested in those sort of things." she answered.

"Well, then listen to this. The downfall of the evil that will return to our land will come when the one who sees is sacrificed by the one who shares his gift and lives on. That was a prophecy made by an excelent witch you used to know."

"What?"

"Yes, you know who I mean, since you only knew one."

"My mother."

"Yes, exactly. She saw what was going to happen as she walked by me once in the park. I thought it was all just some mumbo jumbo at the beginning. But then I noticed the little witch was right."

"Don't call my mother that!" Yamato looked over to Sam her voice seemed different. It sounded hollow.

"But that is what she was. And that's what you're now because of her." He said with a little smirk on his face.

Sam was now so angry, Yamato had never seen her like this before. Her fists were klenched and she was gazing down onto the floor. Then suddenly she gave off a very strong aura. She looked over to Taichis father and he seemed to be shocked by what he saw. Sams face had all of a sudden mysterios signs all over her forehead and cheeks that glew glowed an eerie kind of blue. Her eyes were empty, with no emotions what so ever and when she spoke her voice was as hollow as can be.

"You'll be sorry you ever said that."

"Oh, do you think another little witch scares me?" he said regaining his confidence.

Sam frowned at him and started speaking some incantation nobody understood. She put her hands together and they started to spark and glow with what looked like electricity. Once the glowing ball was big enough she shot it at Taichis dad. It hit him and sent him flying backwards into the mirror, through which he disappeared. The electricity surging through him caused a chain reaction as the electicity ran through the mirrors and they started to move and moan like the walls in the corridor. And then it all happened in a flash, the mirrors extended upwards so fast Yamato couldn't even see the ceiling anymore. The door to the corridor had disappeared and once the mirrors had stopped extending themselves they started to rotate around the room. This made the place seem like a strange merry-go-round.

"Sam be careful, you're feeding the room with energy!" Taichi shouted at Sam. She turned to him and pointed a finger at him.

"Don't you interfear!" she sent out a shock wave at him and he flew back against the rotating mirrors.

"Taichi!" Yamato shouted and ran over to him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

He got up again and looked over to Sam but she had allready turned her attention to his father, who had reappeared out of the mirrors. He seemed to have a horrible grin on his face. Sam started to make an energy ball again but his girn just grew bigger,

"Well thanks for loading up my energy. You can do it again if you want. I mean look there's no stopping you, is there?"

"Not me but I can stop you."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Positiv." Then she made a move to look as if she were shooting it again but this time aimed up at the ceiling instead. The energy ball shot upwards and then turned in a flash into a big ghost like dragon. It was huge and had beautiful wings. It hovered in the air for a while and then attacked Taichis father. Yamato was surprised to see that the dragon actually hurt Taichis father. He was struggeling against it and was receiving cuts and slashes when the dragon hit him with its claws. And then as fast as the dragon hed appeared it disappeared again and Taichis father dropped to his knees.

"That was quite clever, for a little shrimp." He suddenly said, it was obvious that he was in pain. Yamato and Taichi sent each other confused looks. "A mortalising spell combined with the dragons crest. interesting combination."

All Sam did was smirk and then turned serious again.

"Then you'll be surprised by what I've got planed next."

"I highly doubt it."

Yamato watched Taichis father and understood what Sam had done. The body of Taichis father was slowly turning into a solid form. In other words, he was slowly turning human again. Without anybody noticing Sam hed allready prepared her next spell. She was now holding a purple coloured ball of mist which she was aiming straight at Taichis father. He just looked back at her and gave her a smirk.

"You think that little ball will actually finish me off?"

"Well that's what I had in mind."

"I don't think it will."

"Well lets try then, shall we?"

"Sure."

Sam smirked, then shot the purple mist at him. Letting out a laugh, Taichis father jumped to his feet and flung his cape at the ball. The mist rebounded off his cape and hit Sam in the stomache. She let out a cry of pain as she flew back against the mirrors. Taichi and Yamato ran to her side. She was unconcious, and had a week puls.

"Don't worry, she'll probably be fine. The spell was weakend as it bounced off my cape. So could we please get on with the more important things at hand?"

Yamato turned to him and pulled the knife out of his pocket.

"Oh my, how scary. a little pocket knife. You can't kill me with that Yamato. Don't you remember? The prophecy? To kill me you need to kill Taichi. Oh, and what was that other part? Oh yeah, only you can kill him, to kill me because you share his gift. The wonderful sight."

Yamato held the knife tighter in his hands.

"You're lying!!"

"Oh am I? Well then try it. Hit me with the knife it won't kill me, hey it won't even hit me or will it? So Yamato what will you do? Kill your lover or let me change the world into a paradise?"

Yamato shot a look over to Taichi and then looked back at his lovers father.

"So what happens if I kill you? I mean you are mortal now, the knife should hit you."

"Don't forget Yamato, now that I'm mortal I'm stronger than I was as a ghost. Your little witch friend never thought of that and that's why she's unconcious and I'm not."

Yamato kept on staring at him and just didn't know what to do. He didn't want to kill Taichi and he didn't know what would happen if he tried to kill Taichis father. What should he do?

"Yamato?"

Taichis weak voice said behind him and he turned to look at him.

"Yamato, I know it might be hard but I want us to do the right thing." His voice was trembling slightly.

"What are you trying to say Taichi?" Yamato asked although he allready knew the answer.

"Yamato, I want you to kill me."

"No Taichi! I won't!!"

"But Yamato, he'll destroy the world if you don't."

"I don't care!"

"But Yamato! Please do this for me, and the rest of the world too. Think of Sam and all of our friends. and think of TK!"

"TK. Okay I'll do it but I don't think I can live without you."

"Then come with me."

"Come with you? You mean kill myself?" Taichi gave a little nod and Yamato smiled. He slowly walked up to Taichi, the knife still in his hand. Once they stood face to face Yamato kissed Taichi softly on his forehead.

"Taichi before I do this I want you to know that I love you and that I would rather die before I kill you!"

"What?!?" Taichi and his father both shouted in surprise as Yamato spun round and threw the knife at Taichis father.

It hit him right in the heart. Yamato smiled.

"Did you really expect me to kill my boyfriend?"

Taichis father fell to his knees, trying to pullout the knife but it had magicaly sealed itself to him and was killing him slowly.

"Fool! Did you really think you could change the future?"

"What do you mean? I killed you and didn't kill my boyfriend. Why does that make me a fool?"

"I told you, you can't change the future! Let this be a lesson to you." Once he had spoken those last words he fell to the floor and disappeared in the cloud of mist he had come in.

"See Taichi! We did it and I didn't even have to kill you." He waited for a reply but none came. "Taichi?"

He turned quickly and saw Taichis lifeless body laying on the floor.

"Taichi!"

He ran quickly to him and lifted him slightly. Tears ran down Yamatos face.

"..Ya.Yama.."

"What happened?" Yamato asked as more tears ran down his face.

"Look.." Was all Taichi said as he pointed at his stomache. There, was a blade that resembled the blade Yamato had thrown at Taichis father.

"What? But how?"

"Your reflection threw it at me. the same time you threw it at my father."

Blood was pouring out of the wound down onto the floor. A puddle of it was forming around them.

"No."

"I'm sorry Yama."

"What for?"

"I'm sorry that I wasn't a good boyfriend and for bringing you into this nightmare."

"Taichi. Don't be sorry. Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Thank you." A smile formed on his sad face. "yama?"

"Yes Taichi?"

"I love you too."

"I know."

Taichi made another smile and wiped a tear of Yamatos cheek with his hand.

"Good bye."

Taichi looked Yamato one last time into his eyes and then slowly closed his own. Another tear ran down Yamatos face as Taichis body entered its eternal sleep. The tears came again and again and Yamato just couldn't stand it anyn longer. He held the knife that had stabbed Taichi to his throat.

"I just can't live without you. Taichi!!"
