Talking to Yamato

A week had pass since the accident and Takeru visited Hikari everyday.

"Hi Light Angel". Takeru said to Hikari, who was "sleeping".

"Yesterday coach Jones named me captain of the team. I couldn't believe it, I'm really happy." Takeru told Hikari really excited.

"I almost forgot, I brought you your favorite chocolates, you can eat them when you wake up and also got you your favorite flowers." Takeru said smiling.

Takeru took a look at his watch.

"Light Angel I have to go, sorry for staying such a short time, but I have practice. I'll come tomorrow, take care".

Basket practice…

"Takaishi! Late again!". Coach Jones shouted

"I'm sorry coach, I was…"

"No excuses Takaishi, if you are late again you will be suspended from your labors as captain".

"Ok, sorry sir".

"You'll be on the bench today".

"But…"

"No buts Takaishi, now sit down!"

Practice was over and Takeru went back home.

"Why Hikari? She's the nicest person I know, she doesn't deserve what's happening to her". Takeru thought to himself heading towards the kitchen.

He grabbed a frying pan, then an egg form the refrigerator.

Takeru was about to prepare fried eggs when the phone ranged. He ran towards the phone hoping it was a call from the hospital telling him that Hikari had woken up.

"Yes?" Takeru said.

"Takeru!" exclaimed a familiar voice. "You won't believe what happened".

"Miyako, not now please, I'm not in the mood for hearing the latest gossips". Takeru answered sounding annoyed.

"No, Takeru! You really need to hear this, it's about Cath…"

"Miyako, I really don't want to listen anything, I just want to be alone"

"But…". Miyako answered disappointed. "Ok, Ok, I'll tell you tomorrow".

"Bye, see you" Takeru said hanging the phone.

He head to the kitchen and once again the phone rang.

"Miyako, I thought I told you I don't want to hear anything". Takeru shouted really mad.

He heard a strong laughter coming form the phone, Takeru was confused, that laughter wasn't Miyako's, it was a man's laughter instead.

"Who is this?". Takeru said sounding confused.

"It's me bro". Yamato answered still laughing.

"What's so funny Yamato?". Takeru asked annoyed.

"You must have hear your voice, it seemed like you wanted to kill someone"

"So?". Takeru replied

"You're Takeru Takaishi, the nicest person in the world". Yamato answered in a sarcastic tone. I knew that someday you would just forget to control your temper. And we made a bet, remember? I told you that someday you would get really mad and lose your temper; you told me such thing would never happen. Then I had an idea, if you never lose your temper, I would tell everyone the truth about the lyrics of my songs, that you're the real composer. But if you lose you had to wear a pink dress. That will be really funny, you can't deny it. And when you shouted I imagined you wearing a pink dress and started laughing"

"Yamato!". Takeru exclaimed annoyed.

"How are you bro?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, I know what happened to Hikari, I'll ask you again, How are you?".

"Fine, I guess". Takeru answered not even convincing himself.

"You can't lie to me Takeru, I know you are not OK, I'll go visit you so we can talk"

"OK"

"See you then"

Takeru head to the kitchen, he knew talking to Yamato was going to take long and wouldn't let him a chance to do other things, he decided to take a shower and do his homework, for him those things were more important than eating, and he wasn't hungry, so he put the egg back on the refrigerator and the frying pan on the cabinet.

Heading to the bathroom Takeru took a towel and after fifteen minutes he finished. He put on his pajamas, grabbed his backpack and took his Child Development notebook out. He didn't like that subject, the only reason he took it was because Hikari was taking it, but now she wasn't there to help him, he opened the notebook and read the assignment, which was: write a report about childhood.

That word reminded him of all the things he had done with his best friend when they were kids. All the happy moments, and the bad ones, where Hikari was always there for him. The games they played, the promises they made. Takeru just smiled.

The bell rang.

"It must be Yamato". Takeru thought to himself heading to the door.

He opened the door and saw Hikari standing there, smiling at him. Takeru was so happy and surprised that the only thing he could say was Hikari's namelike a million times…

"Hey Takeru!" Yamato shouted "Wake up!"

"Ah, what?" Takeru answered in a sleepy voice.

"You fell asleep and you were repeating Hikari's name over and over again, what were you dreaming about?"

"Nothing" Takeru answered annoyed. "How did you enter anyway?"

"I have a key, remember?"

Both brothers sat on the couch together.

"So… tell me how you really feel".

"I don't know, I really don't know".

"Then, tell me what you think about what's happening".

"Why is this happening to her? She didn't do anything wrong. It's my fault, it's my entire fault. I was the one who convinced her of coming to school. I don't know if she is ever going to wake up. I know I need to have hope, but it's too hard. I mean, I visit her everyday and she looks the same. Doctors tell me they are doing their best, but she doesn't seem to improve. Why Yamato? Why?". Takeru said as he started to cry besides all his attempts not to.

Yamato hugged his little brother, trying to comfort him. Takeru looked so fragile, week, just as when he was eight years old.

"It's not your fault, you have to believe that. And, as Hikari says, everything happens for a reason. Maybe you don't see it now, but believe when I say that sometime you will know the reason for this".

"I know, but it's to hard Yamato. It's just that… I'm in love with her". Takeru answered cleaning his tears.

"I know, bro, I know"

"I finally got the guts to tell her how I feel and now she is in coma. I know she loves me back, but what's worth knowing if I can't be with her, hear her voice or her angel laughter. Life is senseless with out her". Takeru said crying again

"Cry, is the best thing you can do to just breakdown. I'm staying with you tonight, I'll call dad and tell him".

"Thanks Yamato".

Yamato dialed his father's number and left a message telling him that he was going to stay with Takeru. He went to the kitchen and put some cereal and milk on a bowl.

"You have to eat something. Here, have this". Yamato said giving the bowl to his brother.

"I'm not hungry"

"I'm not asking if you are hungry, I'm saying you have to eat" Yamato answered mad.

"Ok, ok, I'll eat". Takeru answered annoyed.

Takeru finished eating, so Yamato took the bowl to the kitchen and washed it. Then he sat next to Takeru and give him a hug.

"It's late" Yamato said looking at his watch. "You should go to sleep".

About an hour later…

"Yamato?". Takeru said holding a pillow and a sleeping bag. "Can I sleep here?".

Those words remind Yamato of the days when Takeru and him still lived together, 7 years ago.

It was late in the night and Takeru overheard his parent's discussion.

"I'm sick of you coming so late". Natsuko shouted madly.

"Sh, don't shout, you are going to wake the children". Mr. Ishida answered.

"Don't tell me what to do!". Natsuko answered mad and annoyed.

"I'm your husband, I can tell you what to do"

"You can tell me what to do, but it doesn't mean that I going to do what you want me to!"

"I'm sick oh these discussions and you shouting at me. I'm going to a hotel. I can't be near you, not anymore!".

"Fine, do what you want!".

"Fine!" Mr. Ishida answered getting out of the apartment, closing the door with such strength that it seemed like the door was going to break down.

Takeru head to Yamato's room making the less noise possible, holding his teddy bear.

"Yamato, they are fighting again and daddy is gone"

"Yes, but don't worry, everything is going to be alright. He will come back, you'll see".

"Can I sleep with you tonight?".

"Sure". Yamato answered lifting his blanket to make a space for his little brother. Takeru snuggled to Yamato's side and covered his arms on him, Yamato hugged him back. After a few minutes laterTakeru fell asleep.

"Aren't you to old for that? Just kidding, sure".

"Thanks". Takeru answered smiling.

Next day…

Takeru got up and looked at the watch on his room.

"Oh, no. I'm going to be late again".

Takeru put his clothes on, grabbed his backpack and rushed to the door.

But Yamato shouted…

"You're not leaving till you eat something".

"But, I'm going to be late".

"Then, eat this while you walk to school". Yamato answered giving Takeru a paper bag which had a sandwich and some milk inside, smiling at him.

"Thanks, but you can be so overprotective sometimes":

"It's my way to show you that I love you, bro".

"I love you too Yamato, thanks for everything. Can you stay with me more time? It's just that I feel alone".

"Sure, I'll stay all the time you need me".

"Thanks, you are the best".

"Your welcome, but hurry or you're going to be late. Say hi to Mr. Mcsporran for me".

"What?" Takeru asked confused. "Don't you have to go to school too?".

"Oh yes. I forgot, since this is my last year and school is about to finish, and I'm mostly doing anything this weeks".

"Then hurry"

"Ok, ok" Answered Yamato rushing to the room. In less than five minutes he was ready.

"Wow that was fast"

"Yeah, it's because I have to change this fast during the Teenage Wolves performances"

Takeru just smiled.

"It's really late". Yamato exclaimed worried. "We are not going to make to school on time".

"Don't worry, I know some shortcuts we can take, I've been late like a million times so I know the fastest way to school, but this time we have to run".

"Ok, some exercise will do me good"…

School…

"Hi guys" Takeru said breathless.

"Hi". Daisuke answered. " You wouldn't be Takeru if you are not late".

"Really funny Dai". Takeru answered in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, Hi Yamato". Miyako exclaimed.

"Hi".

"Takeru, you came to school with Yamato, did you parents made up?".

"No, he is juststaying with me for some days."

"Well guys". Yamato exclaimed. "I have to go, see you".

Yamato left.

"So, what's the important thing you needed to tell me Miyako?".

"I'll tell you later, we are going to be late".

Lunch time…

"Ok". Miyako exclaimed." The thing is that Catherine is telling everyone that you asked her out and that in less than an hour you dump her because she is bad kisser"

"What?" Takeru answered confused. "You know what? Let her tell everyone what she wants, I know that's not true, so I doesn't affect me; besides, when the truth comes out she's the one who is going to get harm, not me".

"We are visiting Hikari, right?". Daisuke said changing the topic of the conversation.

"Yes" Ken answered.

"I can't wait to see her". Miyako exclaimed excited.

Hospital…

"Bye Mrs.Yagami". Miyako Daisuke and Ken exclaimed. "Nice to see you".

"Bye, thanks for coming kids". Mrs.Yagami answered.

Some time later…

"Takeru, you are finally here! What took you so long?". Taichi asked.

"Basket practice lasted more time than usual. If it's not to much, can you leave alone with her, please?".

"Sure" Taichi answered. "Mom lets have something to eat":

"OK".

Takeru grabbed a chair and sit next to Hikari.

"Hi Light Angel, it's me again" Takeru said happy." I wanted to tell something, life with your love fills everyday with illusions and hope. I wanted to thank you for showing me what love is, letting me be who I want to be and making this life worth living.

I wanted you to know that if you cry, I'll cry; if you laugh, I'll laugh. I will go everywhere you go. If you need my help, I will give it to you, no doubt. I give you everything I am, have been and will be. But that's nothing compared to what you give me, that's why sometimes I start to think if I deserve you, and if life is going to be able to give me what you gave me.

Other thing, I'm always here for you when you need me or not.

I love you" Takeru said.

Then, Hikari moved the fingers of her right hand.
