Author's Notes: Thank you for the reviews first of all. I was actually really depressed when I wrote the first chapter...had a pretty bad day. I'll try to make the tone of this story coherent, but it might be a bit different due to my semi cheerful mood today...so yah
Within His Embrace
Chapter 2
Enigma
Taichi...he held me till I stopped sobbing. I felt very exhausted all in a sudden, tilting up, I rested my head against Taichi's shoulder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just this once...let me be happy...just for once, just for a little while...
~~~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slowly opened my eyes, realizing Taichi has been stoic the entire time. Feeling a bit uneasy, I pulled away in fear...fear that Taichi had somehow discovered what was in my twisted mind. Right after I was standing on my own feet again, Taichi abruptly walked away from me, dropping both of our book bags on the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh..brother, please...don't walk away...don't leave...don't take away my most precious treasure...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Horrified by the possibility that my nightmare had come true, I felt my cheeks burning, my knees shaking as I dropped onto the ground.
"Hikari, Hikari..What's wrong, Hikari!!" I heard Taichi's faint whispering before all my sense left me.
~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up finding myself in a bed. Slowing getting up, I glanced the surroundings and realized that somehow I was in my own room. Staring at the Crest of Light that's hanging in front of my bed, I started laughing hysterically.
Crest of Light..what irony, I chuckled again, for I have everything but light...or anything that's related to it.
Grabbing the Crest, tearing the string that was once attached to it, I threw my once upon a time most important object across the room, hitting the wall, the Crest dropped on the floor lifelessly.
"Hikari?" A voice intruded as the door knob turned. I felt a flow of emotion which I found to be disappointment when I saw my mother walking into the room.
"Are you okay? Taichi carried you home, saying you passed out right after school." She stated with a worried face.
"Yah...I think I'm feeling much better now, it was probably the migraine" I tried to answer with carelessness when my mind was screaming wondering where Taichi could be at this moment.
"He was so worried," Mom went on, "After making sure you're okay, he went back getting the book bags he forgot to pick up and something else he was going to get after school.
I looked at my mother with a thankful expression. Seeing her worried about me, I felt this excruciating guilt is slowing devouring me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, mother...How am I ever going to have..or even ask for your forgiveness if you found out...found out...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My thought was interrupted when my bedroom door creaked open as Taichi walked in, with a cage covered with sky blue cloth in his left hand. He grinned at me as he sat by our mother on my bed, handing me the cage.
Confused, I took off the cloth. My eyes shone when I saw two little birds of bright colors in the cage, their tiny eyes staring at me, their small wings flapping as if they were delighted to see me.
I looked at Taichi
I didn't know what to say.
I didn't know what to do.
I didn't know how to act...
~~~~
Until...
~~~~
"They are love birds." Taichi smiled at me.
To be Continued...
Author's Notes..*again*: Yes, I talk a lot. If you still haven't figured out why Tai ran off leaving Hikari for herself for a moment, he was going to get the birds.
~~Again, reviews are more than welcome. They help me a lot. n_n
