Some Things Happen When You Least Expect It Chapter 16
Pool house, Sora and Taichi were sitting at a table in the decorated pool house candle was lite in the middle of the table with a ring of real roses surrounding it.
"Taichi you really didn't need to do all this just being with you is enough," Sora said smiling across the table at him.
"Well, this is a special occasion so it called for this," he said.
Accident site…
The car horn was still going off as the rain kept coming down. Inside the car Yamato still was in the same position his skin was very pale. Mimi was the first to slowly regain consciousness, "Where am I?" she said then suddenly everything came back to her she looked over to the drivers sit at Yamato and gasped, "Yamato! Oh god," she said then was trying desperately to get out of her seat and managed to remove her seat belt. She then moved Yamato's head back so he was now slumped over to his left his head against the door the horn stopped blaring. She felt something warm on her hand when she had moved Yamato and then realized that it was blood. "I need to get help," she said then struggled to open the door but it wouldn't open, "HELP!" she said shouting out hoping for someone to hear her when there wasn't a answer she began to cry. "SOMEONE HELP!" she cried out again.
In the distance, she could see headlights of a car coming toward them she looked over her shoulder seeing if they would stop and sure enough, they had. She tired to open the window but it was jammed.
A maid came from the main kitchen with a silver covered try and two other smaller ones she had to use an umbrella to cover the cart to bring it over to the pool house because of the rain. She set the umbrella down on the rolled the cart over to the table.
"Your meal," the maid said to them.
"Thank you," Taichi said gratefully he appreciated that they agreed to help him make this special night at the pool house because he wasn't able to actually take Sora out to a restaurant.
"Your welcome Mr. Yagami," she said then uncovered the trays it was two small pheasants roasted. The other trays contained potatoes and small baby carrots. She gave each Taichi and Sora a pheasant and the side of vegetables. "Enjoy your meal," she said.
"Thank you," Sora said to her, as did Taichi.
"How is he?" Mimi asked the paramedic who was tending to Yamato.
"He has lost a lot of blood," he said and a woman paramedic came and helped wheel Yamato into the ambulance.
"Can I get a ride to the hospital?" Mimi asked, "I'm his girlfriend please," she said begging him.
"Okay hop in," he said and they all got into the ambulance it drove off with its sirens whaling loudly.
After dinner Taichi got up, "Do you want to dance?" he asked.
"Yeah let," she said smiling.
"I was hoping you said yes," he said then went to the stereo and switched it on.
Song Playing.. Looking Through Your Eyes – Leeann Rhimes
They danced slowly Sora resting her head on his right shoulder. While Taichi rest his head on her left shoulder, they gently sway to the music with they're eyes closed.
They pulled apart slightly and looked each other in there eyes, Sora brushed her lips against Taichi all most in a teasing way.
"Are you teasing me?" Taichi asked.
"Maybe," she said as they continued to dance their eyes glued to each other.
They returned to the original position resting their heads on each other's shoulders with eyes closed enjoying a wonderful night.
Song comes to a End
They remain kissing for a few more minutes after the song ended. Then went into their own little world they both had created neither noticing the whaling of sirens in the background.
The paramedics wheeled Yamato into the hospital where a team of doctors and nurses were waiting for him then took over from them and wheeled Yamato into the ER Mimi was stopped from going. She waited in the waiting room, and then a doctor came in the waiting room, "Mimi?" he called out.
"That's me," she said running up to him hoping he could shed some light on Yamato.
"Come with me, we need to check you out too," he said to her.
"Why? I'm okay I'm feeling absolutely fine," she said angry.
"You have to get stitches on that wound miss," the doctor said she reach up and felt a gash on her forehead then frowned getting up she followed the doctor.
"Strawberry sherbet for desert," Taichi said as the maid came again holding sliver tray as before.
Setting it down in the middle of the table, after removing the centerpiece, she took the cover of the tray and it was one large bowl of strawberry sherbet.
"Let me do the honors," Taichi said dipping the spoon into the sherbet and fed it to Sora.
"Mmm, it's really good," she said.
"it is the best homemade sherbet around," he said and he took a spoonful and had some as well.
"Don't starch or pick at the stitching until your wound has fully healed wait about two weeks then you can removed the stitching," the doctor said to her.
"So How's Yamato doing?" she asked him hoping her would know something more.
"All I know that he's in emergency surgery right now," the doctor said as they left the room. Mimi went to go to wait in the waiting room once again.
Yamato's ER room…
Doctors work to stabilize him while orders are being called out around him while Yamato still lays unconscious on the ER table.
"I think another dance is on order," Sora said.
"I quite agree," he said they both got up and headed to the dance floor, "To bad there is a terrible storm tonight because then we could have gone outside enjoyed the outdoors," Taichi said regrettably.
A nurse wheeled Yamato into the Intensive Care Unit room for recovery. Mimi ran up to the doctor who had just showed up in the waiting room where she was waiting patiently for news, "What is the diagnoses doctor?" Mimi asked.
"Yamato has a concussion he had lost a lot of blood but we have managed to replenish it through blood donors of the same time of blood he is and he is unconscious at the moment. He is still not a hundred percent out of the woods yet," the doctor said closing the chart.
"Can I see him at least?" Mimi questioned him.
"Yes you can," The doctor said then left announcing he had other rounds to cover.
Mimi watched the doctor leave then slowly walked to the room Yamato was in and peered in she opened the door then walked in closing the door behind her. She sat next to his bed and watched him for a moment, "Yamato I'm sorry," she said.
She watched him lay there not moving then sighed getting up and left the ICU room, "I should call Takeru and let him know," she said to herself she dug into her jean pockets for a quarter and walked to the nearest payphone.
Ishida's Apartment…
Takeru was sitting on the couch watching television when the telephone rang, "I'll get it!" he shouted so his dad could hear him. "Hello," he said into the receiver.
"Takeru," Mimi said.
"Yeah, Mimi?" he said confused on who exactly it was.
Mimi then began to cry on the phone, "Takeru, I'm sorry!" she sobbed.
"Sorry for what? What did you do?" Takeru questioned even more then earlier confused.
"Yamato…is…in…a coma," she managed to breath through her sobs.
"What where?" Takeru asked frowning, "Okay just tell me where you are," he said.
"Obadia general," she said settling down a bit but tears still rolled down her cheeks.
"Okay me and my dad will be there in a minute okay," he said then hung up the phone to call his dad and told him what Mimi had told him.
"Don't joke about stuff like that Takeru," his father warned.
"I'm not, lets go dad," he said seriously.
Meanwhile at the Hospital…
Mimi sat down on the waiting room chair weeping softly, this is my fault, she thought. He's in there because of me, she looked toward Yamato's ICU room that was full with machinery beeping and humming softly. Yamato lay in the hospital bed his face was pale still even with the blood in the IV slowly going in him…
There was a beautiful garden with white flowers planted in marble vases and two white doors on either end of the garden both doors were unlabeled. A small white picketed fence ran along the walls and had with in the fence were white tulips.
"Whoa…Where am I," Yamato questioned still dazed and confused as he looked around at his surroundings. He looked down and noticed that everything he had on was white then suddenly a bright light radiated in the entire room causing him to shield his eyes from the brightness.
"You're here already?" said a heavenly voice.
"What do you mean?" Yamato asked even more confused then before.
"You're not supposed to be here yet but you are anyhow let me show you the way," the voice spoke again.
"I don't get it who are you?" Yamato asked he didn't understand where he was and what he was doing here.
"I am the one who shows the way...to heaven," the voice said.
