I know, I know. I haven't been writing. Gomen nasai ^^;;. I haven't been short on ideas or anything because I know exactly where I wanted to take it. I have everything up here *points to noggin* It was due to many, many reasons that includes lazyness, school, lazyness, getting the idea down in writing and friend. Buuuut, recently, I had let a friend read this and he inspired me to continue. Thanx bo-kun. ^^ Disclaimer: Digimon isn't mines because if it was, Taito wouldn't just be a dream. And this site (www.geocities.com/fire_godd3ss) will be more than just a fansite ^^
So without further ado, here's the story. I reckon there will be one or two more chapters left. ^^ Enjoy, don't forget to review! ^^

Title: Please Let It Not Be True
Chapter 8: The Last Thing
By: BurningWaters
Laughter filled the small apartment. "And then, and then," Taichi said loudly, laughing his head off. He was laughing so much that he could hardly get the words out. He looks so cute, I laugh along with him, "and then Agumon started to flap around like a chicken—hahahahahahahaha—so I said chicken and he said—hahahahha—no, the thing that goes like this and—hahahhahaha-he-he- he started to flapping around and running in circles and-and--" he stopped. Another fit of laughter came to him.
Around us, Koushiro, Ken, Daisuke, Jyou, Takeru and Iori sat laughing along with Taichi's story. We were all laughing so hard that tears were falling down our faces. It was hard to drink at the same time so I just laugh and held onto my bottle of soda. Everyone had a bottle of soda in their hand, which was shaking because they were laughing so hard. Taichi finished off his story with more laughing to follow. Man, Agumon is one crazy digimon. Ahh, the joy of Digimon. Hahahaha.
Everyone calmed down after a while, remembering our own digimon. I miss Gabumon and letting our stomach rest for a while because…well, I don't know about anyone else but my stomach started to hurt from laughing so hard.
"I can't believe it," Takeru spoke up after a bit. Everyone turned to him as he continued quietly, "It has been seven years since that and I'm getting married tomorrow and tonight I'm spending time with some of the best friends I ever had. I'm happy to know you all and I'm happy you're my friends."
"Aww, quit it, T.S., you're making me blush," Daisuke said with a goofy smile. "Yes, quit it, that's my job," Ken replied, leaning over to him to give him a peck on his cheek which made Daisuke turn red. "Not in front of the guys, honey…"
Everyone laughed and reminisced on all this. At the same time, Taichi looked at his watch and said loudly, "Oh, look! We've ran out of soda. Could you go get us some more, honey?" He batted his eyebrows at my playfully. Of course, everyone still thought that he was actually joking around. Really though, he wasn't. Our relationship has gotten pretty…intense within the last couple of days. But I know why he had said that, everyone did, in fact. Everyone but Takeru that is, seeing as how this is his bachelor's party. The plan was that I keep him away for a good 20 minutes and then when we get back, they will have a huge cake and when we would let him blow out the candles and then while we're cutting up the cake, his face will be a part of the cake too. But it's supposed to be all hush, hush now. Hehehehe. I can't wait. Childish but who cares.
"Aw, but I don't want to go alone," I played along, "would you like to come with me, oh brother of mines?" Takeru's face register with suspicion right away, "What are you guys planning, Yamato?"
"Nothing. What? I can't have some time to spend with my baby brother away from these jerks on the night before you get married?" I said, lightly. He gave a blush at the baby brother comment while everyone else protested against the jerk comment. "Let's go," he gave in. He stood up to get his jacket, while Taichi gave me a wink behind his back.
We headed out listening to the others continue chatting behind us as the door closed. Takeru walked purposely to the elevator while I followed him. "Where're we headed?" he asked me as we waited for the elevator to arrive. I shrugged, "I guess just to the liquor store on the corner."
Takeru stared at me as if I was crazy, "You want us to walk all the way there?" I smiled, "Yup, I couldn't steal Taichi's keys before we left so we're stuck walking kido."
"Why don't we go back and ask him?" he turned around to go back just as the elevator arrived. "How about we not? I mean, I would actually like to spend some quality time with you before tomorrow. Is that so wrong?" I got in and waited for him. He looked at me then back at the apartment and headed into the elevator defeated. I pushed the close button and we both waited in silences for the elevator to make its way down to the first floor.
Once it did, we headed out of the building and headed towards the liquor store. We didn't say anything for a while until I asked him, "How are you feeling?" He was looking at the ground as we walked.
"I don't know," my baby brother said, quietly, "I guess the best way you can describe it is that I'm feeling a mix of things. Anxious, dread, unsure, lost, confused, but at the same time happy."
I was a bit confused myself at his answer, "Dread?"
"Mh-hm. Dread. Because I don't know if I did the right thing. I mean, I love her but what if it doesn't work. I have faith in us that it will but…what if, you know?"
"Oh, I see. Well, it's a normal thing to feel that way when a person is about to get married….not that I know."
"No, you don't know," he said, with a small laugh, "I'm getting married, not you." He turned and looked at me, "Hey, Yamato."
"What?" I replied, glancing at him.
"You're the one who would always beat me at stuff, like videos games…now I'm betting you at this, by getting married first…"
I smiled, "Of course I always beat you at video games. It's because I rule and you drool…"
"…and you know what's another thing I will beat you at?" he said, mischievously.
"…What?" I paused.
"This." And he took off running. I was a bit surprise at that because it was unexpected but I recomposed myself and ran after him. He was about half a block away from me now. Arg, he is going to get it once I beat him.
He stopped briefly to taunt me, "Better run faster, Yamato, if you want to beat me!"
I ran faster, "of course I'm going to beat you!!" In no time at all, we both made it to the liquor store with me just a couple seconds behind. We stood at the front of it, hands on our knees breathing hard. "That….*pants* was…..*pants*….no *pants*….fair….*pants*," I said, breathing hard.
He gave a small, breathless laugh, "Yes, it was…I won. So it was fair." I punched him lightly on the arm for fun, "Fine, you may have won the battle, but I will win the war!" We stood there for a while longer until we felt ready to walk again.
I opened the door for us and we headed in. Takeru went in first and I headed in second. I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped into him. He had stopped walking. I was about to say something but what I saw made me froze.
A guy, holding a gun, was pointing his gun right at us. Takeru seemed to be frozen in spot too. The guy had a mask on. I couldn't see his face. Everyone else in the store was on the floor, except the cashier.
"Get on—" the mask guy said, but something stopped him. In the distance, we heard sirens. The police was coming. I could see the red and blue lights flashing through the window. The mask guy's eye widen in shocked. He turned to the cashier and pointed his guy to him instead, "YOU TIPPED OFF THE POLICE DIDN'T YOU?!" he shouted.
"N-n-n-n-no!" the cashier stammered.
The masked guy looked around wildly. He knew he wasn't going to get out of here alive now that the police have arrived especially now since they had passed a "no tolerance" law yesterday. The police now have the right to shoot anyone who is breaking the law because of the recent crime waves. In one swift movement, he grabbed Takeru and pointed a gun to his temple. I stopped breathing. I didn't know what to do. 'Takeru…no…' I couldn't think.
The look in his eyes was pure fear. 'This can't be happening.'
"Let the boy go and come out with your hands up!" the loud speaker sounded.
I was helpless. I didn't know what do think.
"No…no…" the masked guy whispered. He was starting to panic. I wanted to do something. I wanted to say something…but I couldn't.
"Please," Takeru spoke up, fearfully, "You…don't want to do this…"
"No…" the masked guy whispered again, then recomposed himself, "Shut up!!" He pushed the gun against Takeru's head hard making him flinch in pain.
"Let the hostage go and you won't be killed," the police said again.
The guy started to breath faster, "NEVER!!" He paused, panicking, "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!" I didn't know what was happening behind me but I could guess. The police have started to advance. Oh god…please…no…this is a dream…this is a dream…
The guy backed up with Takeru still in the chokehold. "STOP!!" the policed yelled. I could hear them through the semi-closed door.
"Please don't hurt me," Takeru said desperately. "Please…you don't want to be doing this…"
"NO! YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME!!" the guy yelled, shaking in fear.
BOOOOOOM!
The sound was loud. I didn't know what was happening. It was like everything was happening in slow motion. Other sounds echoed around me. I heard people yelling. I felt numb. I heard other booming sounds around me. "Takeru!!" I yelled, running towards him. I didn't care about anyting else anymore. All I wanted to do was get to him. The guy started to shot randomly behind me. I felt a pinch on my shoulder blade. Takeru started to fall. His eyes were close. His face was…peaceful. I heard screaming everywhere, shooting everywhere. They all sounded distance, echoing….
And the last thing I saw was my brother's lifeless body before I blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you think? ;.; Sad, huh? I was typing and so many ideas came rushing too me I couldn't type fast enough. I, myself, got excited wanting to know what happened next….*sigh* I'm sorry it turned out this way. It was planned though but nevertheless don't forget to tell me what you think by reviewing. *walks away sadly, crying*
So without further ado, here's the story. I reckon there will be one or two more chapters left. ^^ Enjoy, don't forget to review! ^^
