KaoruHimura66: Hey! About your question, well, I'm not sure how to pronounce 'Kyuryo Kaigan' but I read it as Kíurio Kaihan (it can be wrong, but that's the way I read it). Oh well, hope you like this chapter; it has some shocking revelations *evil laugh*
Yama-sama: *giggles* Yes, it's rather shocking, isn't it? Someone who actually wants to marry Jun... And you really should creat a story, with those strange ideas of yours (which I'm not going to use on mine. Sorry). And *smiles* thanks for your words! Oh, I believe it's better for you to read this chapter slowly, there are other shocking revelations...
Inconnu: *blinks* Hum...in fact, I think you'll like this chapter.
White Lioness: Can't say if it's going to be soon, but think you'll like what's going to happen with Jun (not on this chapter, but at the end ^_~). Good reading!
scorpion05: You and your knifes, that's turning to be scary ya know? *smiles* Kidding. And about your question? You'll see what will happened, on this chapter but, beware, shocking moments are coming... *evil laugh* Hope you like it.
tiger_tigress_2010: Ok, here's the next chapter, hope you like it but, if you don't like cliffhangers, I warn you to be carefull...
purple goddess: What's happening to you, people? Always asking for Jun's death! I can be evil, but I'm not that evil! *smirks* And you talked about an unexpected baby, right? So? Where is it? I can't see one, here... *looks around* No, not a single one...
Venursia: *giggles* Yes, it's shocking to know someone actually wants to marry Jun, isn't it? *smiles* But it's true. Enjoy!
Bondage: Hum...then you'll have a lot to curse, because I doubt you'll like the end of this chapter.

Paula 'Takenouchi': Thanks for your words, but you can't stop asking for Jun's death, because I'm not going to kill her...
Chapter 10: The Book Is Opened
"Sora?" Joe called and the auburn haired woman looked at him "I came to tell you, you can go home tomorrow."
Sora nodded:
"Arigatou." she said, above a whisper and Joe raised an eyebrow:
"What's wrong?" he asked and Sora licked her lips:
"Nothing." she said but Joe knew she was lying:
"Well, if you don't want to tell me that's fine but, keeping it for yourself won't be good."
The woman looked at him:
"It's just...I have been here for almost a week and Matt hasn't come." she said, softly
"You wanted him to?" Joe asked and Sora shruged, while she looked at her wrists. Thankfully an operation had done the job of making the cuts impossible to be seen, and all she had were two almost invinsible lines. Pity, she wanted them there, so she could remember the mistake she had done.
"I don't know." she said "Maybe not, because that meant I would have to see Jun."
Joe sighed and sat next to her:
"Sora, are you sure about what you said me the other day?" he asks and the woman gave him a confused look "About...your problem."
"Oh." Sora muttered, before nodding "Yes, I'm sure."
"But...do you think that's correct?" Joe asked, unsure "I think you should..."
"Joe, you know better than anyone how my marriage with Matt was difficult. All those..." Sora took a deep breath "Everything was falling apart, because of it. I could see the pain in Matt's eyes because of my failure and..."
"It wasn't your failure, Sora." Joe interrupted, as he got up "You know that, Matt knows that and I know that. Everyone could see Matt loved you, no matter what happened. Geez Sora, what's happening now, doesn't have to do with what happened before!"
"Even if it doesn't," Sora started, looking at him "I believe Matt deserves a chance to be happy, even if it's with Jun. She's waiting for a child...his child Joe, and I can't make him..." Sora looked down "If he hasn't come to see me, that means he likes to be with Jun."
"That's not true." Joe said, as he shook his head "Besides, you're..."
"Dr?" a voice called and the two friends looked at the door, to see a nurse "There's an emergy, and your help is needed."
Joe nodded:
"Coming." he said, before looking at Sora "Think about what you're about to do." he said "Think about what you can destroy, with that decision." and before Sora could replied, Joe walked out of the room.
"I'm trying." Sora whispered, as her eyes started to tear "But...I don't know what to do."
~*~
"Matt!" Jun exclaimed, as she entered in the living-room "What ar..." however she stopped, when she saw Matt sat on the couch, looking at the divorce papers. She sighed: since he had gone pick them up, that he didn't stop looking at them. She knew he was asking himself if he should sign what it would be one of the last bounds between him and Sora, but she would help him make the right choice "Matt, honey." she called again and, this time, Matt snapped from his thoughts:
"Yes Sky?" he asked, without thinking and Jun took a step backwards:
"Sky?" she repeated and Matt swallowed hard:
"I mean, Jun." he said, as he shook his head "Sorry."
"How can you be thinking about her, when I'm the one who's pregnant of your child?" Jun asked, laying a hand over her now visible tummy "I can't believe you, Yamatto Ishida!"
"Look Jun, I'm sorry." Matt said, getting up "I didn't meant to call you that way, sorry."
Jun looked at him for a few seconds:
"Fine." she snapped
"What did you wanted to tell me?" Matt asked
"You know what? Forget it." Jun said, as she turned around
"Wait!" Matt exclaimed, grabbing her arm "I'm really sorry."
Jun took a deep breath, before looking at him:
"Then, prove it." she said and Matt raised his eyebrow:
"What are you talking about?"
"Sign the papers." the woman said and Matt took a step backwards:
"What?" he asked and Jun crossed her arms:
"The divorce papers," she started "sign them."
"I can't do that." Matt said and Jun raised her hand:
"You can't?" Jun asked, narrowing her eyes "What do you mean?"
Matt took a deep breath:
"What I mean is that I can't sign the papers like that; I need to think!"
"About what?" Jun asked, angry "Do you need to think if you want to be with the mother of your future child, or with a girl who can't even be a mother?"
Matt's eyes flashed in anger and he closed his fists:
"Don't say that, again." he said and Jun rolled her eyes:
"What? The truth?" she asked "It's true! She can't be a mother, and you know it!"
"Jun, shut up!" Matt exclaimed and Jun jumped, in surprise "I'm sick of this bullshit!" the man continued, angrily "I haven't been able to go to the hospital, not only because I don't have the courage to go see Sora, with the divorce papers, but because you're always annoying me! I haven't see Sora, because you didn't wanted me to. I did what you asked, but making me sign the divorce papers and talk about my past with Sora, it's soo damn much!"
"But...Matt..." Jun started "It's true."
"So what?" Matt asked, fuming in anger "Why do you care, huh? I'm here with you, right? I accepted your child, I accepted to end everything I had with Sora because of you! You were the reason why Sora decided to left me!"
"Me?" Jun asked, pointing to herself "Matt, I made it clear I didn't needed your help. You were the one who decided to come."
"Yeah, but you needed to go and buy clothes in Sora's shop, right? You needed to go with me, to the hospital, right? You needed to rub in my face, that Sora and I can't have children, right? Geez Jun, I'm here with you, what do you want more? What?" but before Jun could even open her mouth, the blond haired man stormed out of the room.
When she heard the front door close, Jun closed her fists:
"You'll be mine." she whispered, as she narrowed her eyes "You'll be mine."
~*~
"Can you please, explain what's going on?" Kyuryo asked, looking to the three men in front of him "Because I can't believe Jun would do that."
"Yeah, Jun can be a bit crazy, but she's a sane person." Davis said and TK rolled his eyes:
"Yeah, right." he muttered
"It's true." Ken started "I'm sorry Kyuryo, I believe you didn't knew about that, but Jun did what we told you."
"But, she is pregnant." Kyuryo said "She told me herself, before I went to Tokio. Three months ago."
"Well, Jun told us she's almost three months pregnant."´Izzy said, but it was then he frozed "Wait, that can't be..." he whispered while Tai raised his eyebrow:
"What does that means?" he asked, confused and Izzy looked at him:
"That we have been fooled, all this time." he said "And so has been Matt."
"What do you mean?" TK asked
Ken narrowed his eyes, as he got up from his chair:
"But that's serious." he said "Very serious."
Kyuryo run a hand through his hair:
"But, why?" he asked, as he shook his head "I can't understand."
"What?" Tai asked but no one heard him:
"Maybe because she felt lonely." Izzy said "I don't understand women that much, but I know what loneliness can do."
"But, she always told me she was happy." Kyuryo said, looking at the red haired man "I can't understand... She could have told me."
"What are you talking about?" TK asked, as confused as Tai
"What do you think, we should do?" Izzy asked, looking at Ken
"Tell Matt the truth." he said, shruging "Tell Sora the truth...I don't know."
"Guys, what the hell are you talking about?" both TK and Tai asked, at the same time and everyone looked at them:
"About mine and Jun's child." Kyuryo replied, slowly
"And about the fact, Jun could have destroyed a family." Ken finished
~*~
Matt walked through the white walls, until he reached a door with a single number: 2901. Slowly, he took a deep breath and put his hand over the knob: 'C'mon Matt, you can do it.' After he took other deep breath, Matt opened the door:
"What are you doing here?" an icy voice asked and Matt gluped: 'No time to chicken out.' he thought 'Just do what you come to do, and get over it.'
"Hello...Sora." he said, slowly and the auburn haired woman narrrowed her eyes:
"What are you doing here?" she repeated "The visits ended hours ago, besides, I don't want you here."
"Sora, please, listen to me." Matt pleaded, as he walked towards her
"No." Sora said, simply "Now get out of here."
Matt shook his head:
"No." he said and Sora closed her fists:
"Only if you have something to say about the divorce, you can stay." she said and Matt gave a step backwards:
"Wh...what?" he asked, surprised
"Only if you have something to tell me about the divorce, you're allowed to stay." Sora repeated "Otherwise, I'll call Joe."
Matt looked down for a few seconds, before looking up. He couldn't deny it: Sora looked beautiful, even though she was surrounded by white. She looked so radiant, as a star he wanted to protect:
"Yes." he said and Sora raised an eyebrow:
"What?" she asked, confused and Matt swallowed hard:
"I came to tell you, that I have the papers for the divorce."
"Good." Sora said and Matt closed his eyes: good? She thought it was good? Did she hated him so much, to wish to get her own life, way from him? "No." Sora said, suddenly and Matt looked at her:
"What?" he asked and Sora looked down:
"I don't hate you." she said, without looking up "But I'm not exactly thrilled, either. I hate the fact you lied to me, the fact you slept wit Jun, the fact you knew she carried your child and didn't told me anything, but..." she took a deep breath. She wanted to cry, she wanted to scream, she wanted to ask to heavens why that was happening to her, but she managed to mantain calm and continued "But, I also admire the fact you decided to stay with her, and raise your child together."
"But Sora, I lo..."
"Don't say that!" Sora exclaimed suddenly, raising her head only to look through the window next to her "Please Matt, get out. Get out, and only come here to give me the papers."
"But, Sora..." Matt started, after he took a deep breath "I can't lose you."
Gathering all the courage she had, Sora looked at Matt:
"Please Matt..." she almost begged "Don't make things more difficult."
"I'm not going to lose you, Sora." Matt said, and Sora closed her eyes:
"Go live your dream, with Jun." she said, as a tear felt down her cheek "Go achieve the dream, I couldn't achieved."
"Sora..." Matt whispered, as his eyes started to tear "You're my dream, the rest doesn't matter."
"Just go." Sora whispered, looking down
Slowly, Matt started to walk backwards, but his eyes were still locked in Sora's form. He knew she was trying not to cry, just like he was trying not to cry either. But it was so hard. It was so hard to leave his life behind. It could sound corny, he knew it, but Sora was his life...not Jun, but Sora. He loved her, despite of everything that happened to them, since they married. But that didn't mattered to him, not if that meant he had to achieve their dream with other woman...
"Sora." he whispered, as he was reaching the door but the woman pointed to the door, though she didn't looked at him:
"Go!" she exclaimed "Just...go!"
Looking down, Matt opened the door and walked away.
In the middle of the silence, two souls screamed in fury, hurt and pain.
~*~
The morning had come calm and quiet, on contrary of many souls that had awaked hurt, angry and in pain:
"Hey Sora!" Mimi exclaimed, walked through the door "Prepared to face the world?"
Sora looked at her and smiled:
"Hai." she said, soflty
"Then, why are you so sad?" asked Mimi, confused "Aoshi and Akane are waiting for you; it's like they can't forget their Aunt Sora."
While Mimi giggled, Sora sighed:
"Mimi..." she started, as she sat on her hospital bed
"What?" the pink haired girl asked, as she stopped giggling "What's wrong?"
Sora shook her head:
"Can we go to the beach?" she asked and Mimi raised her eyebrow:
"Why?"
Sora took a deep breath:
"Because I want to tell you something."
"And you can't tell me now, because...?" Mimi asked but, as Sora prepared herself to answer, Joe walked in:
"Mimi, may I talk with you for a second?"
The pink haired woman looked at him:
"Sure." she said, before walking towards him "What's up?"
Joe licked his lips, before taking a deep breath:
"A nurse told me, Matt was here last night." he said and Mimi put a hand over her mouth:
"He was?" she asked and Joe nodded:
"And she said Sora was very nervous, when Matt got out. I think...no, I'm certain Matt came here to tell Sora about the divorce but..."
"What?" asked an worried Mimi "What is it?"
"Mimi, Sora can't sign the papers." Joe said, as he eyed his auburn haired friend "You can't let Sora do that mistake."
"But, what can I do?" Mimi asked, confused "It's her choice."
"I know, but she can't do that. Not when she needs support, more than anything." said Joe, running a hand through his hair "She has gone through terrible things, since she married Matt but she needs him to continue with her life."
"Joe, you're scaring me." Mimi said "What are you hiding?" Joe shook his head "Tell me!" she exclaimed
"No, Sora has to be the one." Joe said, before looking at the woman, who was sat on the hospital bed "Be careful now, ok Sora?" he asked and the woman looked at him:
"Hai." she said "Can we go now, Mimi?"
The pink haired girl shared a last look with Joe, before nodding:
"Yes, lets go." she said
~*~
"What did you wanted to tell me?" Mimi asked, as the two friends walked along the shore
Sora took a deep breath, before sitting on the sand, only to be followed by Mimi:
"This is something very delicated..." Sora started, looking to the sea "Something no one knows...only Matt and Joe..."
"What is it?" Mimi asked, noticing her friend's discomfort "You know, you can tell me everything."
Sora nodded:
"I know." she said, softly. Slowly, she looked at her friend "Remember those three times I went to the hospital, after Matt and I married?"
Mimi nodded:
"Yeah, it was because you were sick, right?" she asked and Sora licked her lips:
"Not exactly." she said and Mimi raised her eyebrow, confused:
"What do you mean?" she asked "Joe told us, you were sick."
"You can said I was sick," Sora started, while looking to the sea "but that's not entirely true."
"Is
there anything else?" Mimi asked, and Sora nodded though she
didn't looked at her friend:
"The real reason why I went to the hospital those three times..." she started, slowly "were because I..." Mimi saw Sora's eyes tearing and lay a hand over her friend's one, before squeezing it. Sora looked at their hands, and took a deep breath "The real reason because I went to the hospital three time was because...because I went through three miscarriages."
Mimi opened her eyes wide while Sora closed hers.
To Be Continued...
