Ch 15

Hi everybody! Kate's almost another year older... but that's a good thing- you know why??? Presents! I bought myself a few presents yesterday... nothing big. I'm not sure which anime series to invest in at the moment. Actually I should be saving the $$... but that's no fun ^_^ I've been downloading like crazy lately... free is very very very good! Currently I'm watching Full Metal Alchemist, and I'm catching up on my One Piece. I wish they had Digimon the 1st season out to buy... I have the movie and first 13 episodes and then various vhs copies... but I want to watch the series again! (If any of you know where to get your hands on a copy- let me know ^_^)
Anyway- here's the next chapter. I can't wait to finish this fic- it kind of dragged on a bit on this end- sorry about that. I've been itching to begin working on my next Taiora- I'm still stuck on the AU world- Not really sure why... maybe I've been reading too many fantasy books or I want to escape the real world and it's fun... stupid papers and finals.
Ok- enough of a rant- here's the thing you've been waiting for! Enjoy and thanks for the patience and reviews!

Mimi and Joe rushed into the silent room. Neither had a clue as to what exactly had happened. Kneeling down Joe was speechless. Before him laid the bodies of his only family, they were still and silent.
"Taichi? Prince Taichi?" He said lightly shaking the brown haired man's shoulder. Joe was terrified when he did not receive any sign that Taichi was still with them.
Looking up towards Mimi, he found similar lost and scared eyes.
"S... She won't wake up... Joe what do we do?" Mimi asked as she tried not to panic.
"Mimi, honey... go check on Matt and his brother..." Joe said taking control of the situation. "I'll take care of these two..." He tried to sound calm, and assured that he could actually do something. Sure, he had medical training, and a great deal of book learning about most conditions. However, he had never seen anything quite like this. They weren't dead- he knew that at least. There was a sturdy pulse in Sora, and Taichi... well his heart was still working. Although it was definitely weak, Joe knew Tai was a fighter.
'Come on Taichi, what ever is going on, if anyone can get through this... it's you. Fight It.'
-
Little did Joe know that fighting was exactly what Taichi had been trying to do. The pain of Sora's final blow had knocked him hard. He gasped as pain shot up every inch of his body. Yet, his mind didn't linger on the pain... Taichi was more worried about the woman in pain before him.
"Sora..." He whispered as blood rushed up this throat. Then darkness...
-
Sora was disoriented. No longer was she in the house being beaten, yet there was blood all over her.
"Taichi?" She called feeling her head throbbing increasingly. Sora could hear her own heart beat pulse through her body. As that continued- panic filled her mind once again.
"All I wanted was to get away... to leave that world behind..." She sobbed. "I was happy... really happy for once in my life... with him. Taichi. Where did you go? WHERE?" She screamed as a bright light engulfed her and the world that surrounded her.
As Sora felt air rush past her face, the world outside came to a complete stop. The frantic Mimi, who was kneeling over the two brothers, froze with her index finger poised over Matt's wrist about to check for a pulse. Joe who was concentrating on his friend Taichi's still frame, too ceased to move.
It wasn't just the people in Koushiro's dark palace, but the world as a whole. The fountains in and around the area stopped in mid flow. Birds frozen in flight over the ground; things looked exactly like some one had snapped a photo.
Everyone was frozen still, everyone except Sora. As she stood there in the now lightened area, Sora thought she could hear a faint voice calling to her. The sweet feminine voice was so familiar to her. It brought on a sense of peace and calm for the troubled young woman.
Sora scanned the horizon for a body or source of the voice. However, she found none.
"Who... who are you?" She called instead.
"Sora, you must calm down... your uneasiness and troubled heart are causing this world to suffer..." The voice replied.
"What?"
"Sora... only you can set things right...you must." The voice continued.
"I don't understand... what is going on? What must I do?" Sora called out once again in hope of a reply.
"I'm glad to see you've found some happiness here... you belong in this world. We both did."
"We? What do you mean? Who are you?" She asked getting a little bit angry and even more confused. Yet she still felt she knew this voice. It's pleasant and gentle tone rippled in the air around her. "Why don't you answer me, please?"
"I'm sorry I left you without explaining everything... but those here did tell you of the prophesy... now you just need to follow your heart."
"Left me...this world...is that... is that you... Mother?" Sora asks over the silence that surrounded them. Her eyes light with a knowing that this voice was in deed her mother's. 'But how? She... she...'
"I did die Sora. But my spirit returned to it's home... to this world." "Mother? Why... why would your spirit return here?"
"I'm so sorry Sora. I should have told you earlier. That way I could have helped you more." The voice stopped for what seemed like forever to Sora. The auburn haired girl feared that her mother had left again, and was about to cry out for her when the gentle voice continued.
"I may have lived with you and your father back on Earth, however I was not from there. A long time ago, it was my destiny to leave and find your father. We had you, just like was destined."
"Destiny... but why didn't father love us?"
"Sora, he did love you... in his own way. I had told him I wanted to return to my home world with you- he was afraid that we'd never come back, because he couldn't pass through. He became violent because of my insistence... but don't ever doubt his love. In his own way, he tried to love you. Nevertheless, knowing we'd both be leaving him made him drink."
"Why was I able to come here? What about these powers?" Sora asked curious as to why, if her father wasn't able to come, she could.
"You are my daughter, the one I was destined to have and to bring back to save this world Sora. Back on Earth, you had the powers you have now- only they weren't as amplified as they are now. You always were a special child- bright, happy, energetic, and you have a gentleness to you topped off with a strong and courageous heart. You just didn't know you were given these things for a purpose."
"I've been told about this prophecy, but I don't know what to do. Why is this world in need of saving?" Sora asked taking in all that her mother had told her.
"It's being ripped apart at the heart of the world... I'm sorry Sora. You've suffered so much in your life, and then to be handed this task... follow your heart Sora. It will heal the wounds that split the soul of this world. Please do your best, and remember I will always love you. And I know he will too. Go and find him. Together your hearts are strong- Go Sora... fulfill your destiny."
The voice was gone after that. Sora looked around, waiting to hear her mother's voice again, yet there was nothing.
"Mother? Mother?" Sora screamed out into the light. "Who are you talking about? Find who? Come back! Please... please come back to me... I don't want to be alone." She said in but a whisper, tears once again came from her tired, yet strong crimson orbs. "Why am I alone?"
"Sora, Sora! You're not alone... Sora." Came a weak voice. It wasn't her mother's voice; instead, it came from within her. Her heart and mind reached out for the individual who was calling her. "Taichi..."
