The brisk night air chilled Sora slightly as she stepped out of the door. Once outside, she was greeted by Mimi, Izzy, and Tai's smiling faces. Mimi was dressed to kill and smiling so widely, Sora was afraid her face would split in two. Izzy looked slightly unnerved, Sora observed, and as he stood staring dejectedly at the night sky, Sora could almost see the gears working in his head.

Her lips widened into a large grin as she saw Tai, who looked genuinely happy to see her. Sora felt heat raise to her cheeks as she took in Tai's appearance. 'I've been in a few relationships before, but none have ever been this serious. As stupid as it sounds . . . I can actually picture Tai and me years from now. I'm probably being stupid, but I really care about him . . .' Sora thought.

Sora bounded down her steps and flew into Tai's arms, ignoring the traces of self doubt that were lingering in her mind. She really didn't know if she should be this forward at this stage in their relationship, but she was often one to wear her heart on her sleeve, anyway. She smiled softly and sighed as he wrapped his arms tighter around her frame.

Izzy and Mimi watched with identical smiles gracing their faces before Izzy sighed, nudging Tai. "I really do think we should get going. The movie is bound to start soon and I don't really feel like waiting in a long line."

Tai nodded reluctantly and let go of Sora (but didn't stray far from her side).

Mimi put her hands on her hips, "Izzy! Do you know anything about romance?! I can't believe you," Mimi wailed, hitting her forehead with her palm.

Izzy frowned, his brows furrowing. "I don't see why what I did was wrong, Mimi. We need to get to the theater soon and there's still a ways to walk."

"Why must be boys be so incompetent?! Why?" Mimi threw her head back dramatically.

Tai smirked, "Wow, Mimi, I didn't know you knew the word incompetent." He draped an arm around Sora.

Sora defended Mimi quickly, "Actually, Tai, I'm surprised you know what it means."

Izzy smiled, playing into Sora's game. "Yeah, Tai. What exactly does it mean, anyway?"

"It means . . . well, the dictionary definition is . . . umm . . . YOUR FACE!" Tai yelled suddenly, crossing his arms and jutting his chin out indignantly.

Sora and Mimi laughed as Izzy smiled widely. Tai tried to hold out, but eventually gave in and started laughing with them. They started walking towards the movie theater.

Sora bit on her lower lip. "Do you guys know what the movie is about?"

The other girl smiled widely. "Yeah! I heard all about it from my friend Kat. It's a tragic love story that centers around . . ." Mimi trailed on with Sora eagerly listening, while Izzy and Tai both groaned.

"A chick flick, Iz. They're taking us to a chick flick. How can this night get any worse?" Tai grumbled lowly, not expecting an answer for his rhetorical question.

Izzy looked thoughtful, "You could figure out that your science project is due Monday."

Tai's eyes widened. "It's due M-Monday?" Tai stuttered, gripping his friend's shirt tightly.

His companion chuckled at his friend's antics. "Yes. We've known about it all month," Izzy said, slowly prying his friend's fingers off his maroon shirt.

The brunet looked appalled. "So?! I never listen to what the teacher says! You know that, Iz," Tai whined.

Sora interjected, "Maybe you should start."

Apparently, Mimi and Sora had topped talking a little while ago and started to listen to the exchange between their two dates.

Tai wailed, sticking out his bottom lip, "That's not fair! You're supposed to be on my side, Sor'!"

Mimi smacked her friend's arm and smiled brightly. "Oh shush, Tai. We're almost there." She pointed towards the now visible theater and Tai grumbled as they made their way to the ticket booth.

"Two tickets for the . . . err . . . chick flick," Tai said uneasily. Luckily for Tai, a teenage boy was working that evening and he simply handed Tai the correct tickets without another word.

Izzy looked thoughtful, "Mimi, do you want me to pay? Or should we split it? Perhaps we should - oomph."

Tai clamped his hand over his friends mouth as he rolled his eyes. He grabbed Izzy's wallet and stuck the money out at the cashier.

"Same movie," he told him. The boy nodded and handed over two more tickets and Izzy's change.

"Problem solved," he said simply, before turning to Sora (who now had her hands on her hips).

Sora scolded Tai, "Tai, you really didn't need to pay for me. This is the twenty-first century, after all."

Mimi laughed, "Don't worry, Sora. That won't be a problem. Enjoy it while you can; Tai almost never has money." Mimi grinned at Sora, unaware of the death glare that Tai was sending her.

"Good. Now I don't feel so guilty," Sora sighed, leaning on Tai. He smiled sheepishly and blushed.

"I've got the food covered, too," Tai boasted, pushing Izzy towards the counter.

Tai smiled at Izzy, "Cover it, dude."

Izzy glared darkly at Tai before reluctantly paying.

"What theater are we in?" Mimi asked as she glanced around the small movie theater. It was a family owned theater and relatively small. It only had six theaters, but the tickets were cheaper and the theater was in walking distance of almost everyone's house.

"I think five," Tai replied, squinting down at his ticket.

"I have to go the bathroom. I'll be right back," Sora said as she walked over to the women's restroom.

Mimi smiled, clapping her hands together. "I'll come with you!" She skipped over to Sora and took her hand, dragging her to the bathroom.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Mimi asked eagerly.

Sora's face contorted into a confused expression, "Nothing . . . I need to use the bathroom."

"Oh . . . well we'll just talk when you got out then." Mimi colored heavily and turned to examine herself in the mirror. Sora smiled uneasily at her before turning and walking into a stall. She still felt a little uneasy around the bubbly girl. 'Why did she leave Tai and the others, anyway? What's the deal with her and Matt? And what does Tai have to do with it?' Sora asked herself.

Sora finished her business and shook her head, trying to clear her head of the constant questions that seemed to rack her brain ever since she had moved to the little town.

"I think it's just so cute," Mimi sighed happily as Sora washed her hands.

The red-head tilted her head to look at the other girl. "What's cute?"

"You and Tai! It's just so romantic! I'm so glad you two are dating!"

Mimi clapped her hands in delight before clearing her throat awkwardly and looking sheepish. "Ohh . . . umm, sorry. I tend to get overexcited."

"No, it's fine. I'd love to have your attitude. You and Tai are, like, the happiest people I've ever meet," Sora said, smiling, as she dried her hands.

"You so wouldn't have said that if you saw Tai two years ago! I mean, it's not like he acted different because he acted pretty normally . . . but it was just so sad. All his actions were so hollow and he seemed so . . . broken," Mimi informed Sora, her face growing serious.

"What happened?!" Sora wailed, "I don't understand! It's so frustrating! I want to help him, but what am I supposed to do if he won't tell me anything?" Sora said, groaning in frustration.

Mimi smiled sympathetically. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. I'll say one thing though; if you hurt him, I'm liable to kick your pretty little butt."

Sora laughed unsurely, not sure if Mimi was joking around or being serious.

"I hope I don't have too," Mimi said thoughtfully, "I really do like you."

'Guess she's being serious then,' Sora thought to herself.

"Umm yeah," she said awkwardly, "I don't even know if Tai likes me though." Sora glanced at the floor unsurely.

"What are you talking about?! Tai is head over heels for you! Have you seen the way he looks at you? Silly, he wouldn't have asked you to be his girlfriend if he didn't like you!" Mimi giggled slightly.

Sora looked unsure, "But he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend . . ."

Mimi turned red with anger and stormed unexpectedly out of the door.

"Mimi, what are you doing? Mimi. Mimi! Mimi!" Sora ran after her as fast as she could, but Mimi was already storming up to Tai and whacking him in the head.

"Oww," Tai complained, "What is your problem Meems?" Tai glared angrily at Mimi as he rubbed the back of his had. 'Gees, she can hit hard when she's angry,' Tai thought absently.

Mimi ignored his remarks and pulled him close to her face by the scruff of his collar. She whispered furiously into his ear, "Are you retarded? Why haven't you asked Sora to be your girlfriend, yet?! Are you an idiot?"

She growled lightly in his ear before turning around to face the two befuddled teenagers.

"Sora, Tai has something he wants to ask you," Mimi said loudly.

Tai glared at her. "Thanks a lot, Meems," he whispered. He shook his head and started again, louder. "Sora, I was . . . umm . . . I was wondering if. Well, if you wanted too - "

Tai broke off and started again. "I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend. I know it's fast, but I've never felt this way about anyone else - "

"Yes."

" - and I really think I might - wait, what?" Tai broke off and looked up at Sora with disbelief.

Sora smiled, "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." Tai broke onto in a grin and hugged Sora tightly to his chest. Both Sora and Tai shot grateful glances towards Mimi.

"We should getting to the movie. We'll be late if we don't," Mimi said, intertwining Izzy's hand in her own. She started tugging him towards screen five.

"Who ever said that was a bad thing?" Izzy mumbled under his breath, disheartened about the upcoming event. Tai's phone ringing broke the silence of the relatively deserted theater.

Tai held up a finger, "One second." He listened to the person on the other line as Mimi, Izzy, and Sora shared looks. The person on the other line was speaking so loudly that they could hear the voice. Tai visibly paled and his hands shook slightly as he shakily snapped his phone shut.

"What's wrong, Tai?" Sora asked worriedly.

"I don't think we'll be getting to the movie," Tai said unsteadily.

"Yes!" Izzy pumped his fist into the air triumphantly before clearing his throat. Tai sent a slightly frantic glare his way and continued:

"Davis is in the hospital."

xXxXxXxXxXx

(The Next Day)

Dark clouds hung ominously above her as icy rain drops hit her skin with a resounding 'plop!'. She shivered slightly, absently wondering why she was in such a strange spot in such strange clothes. She was in no way dressed for the current weather and was soaked to the bone.

She was standing at a place where she hadn't been since childhood. Her older brother, Tai, had always used to take her here. It was a steep cliff, hanging over the beautiful, yet dark ocean waves. She remembered him always telling her that even though it was beautiful, the cliff was dangerous and to never go near the edge.

She looked around quickly, confused. The cliff was the only solitary thing that she could remember. It was familiar, but everything around her was foreign. Usually there were picnic tables to her right and a large, spacious beach house to her self. She shivered slightly and sighed.

Suddenly, a loud crash rang loudly in her eyes, startling her so that she had fallen on the ground. A figure was standing in front of her, in all his bloody and bruised glory.

"W-who are you?" she asked timidly, slowly getting back to her feet.

The figure laughed bitterly, "You don't even remember me, Kari. I can't say I'm surprised, though. I'm Davis - Davis Motomiya." Davis smirked slightly and grew painstakingly closer to the edge. In a rush of emotions, as if a semi-truck had hit her, the previous nights memories came rushing back to her.

"Davis! Are you alright?"

"Why would you care?" He asked coldly, "I'm just a burden to you, after all." He smiled frigidly and moved closer to the edge. The backs of his sneakers were on the very edge, but his eyes never left Kari's.

Kari cried out with anguish coating her every word, "NO! You're not! God, you're not! I was drunk . . . and I was jealous! I was jealous of you! You have this . . . aura around you that makes everyone like you . . . and I was jealous!" Kari yelled out, walking slowly towards him.

Davis laughed bitterly, leaning over the edge so he could see the dark waves lap over the jagged rocks. "So you killed me for jealously?"

"You're not dead! Y-you can't b-be dead!" Kari broke down and started crying softly.

He nodded, "Yeah, I'm not dead. Yet." Davis stumbled and was on the verge of losing his balance and falling.

"NO!" Kari ran forward trying desperately to grab his hand. In the last second he moved his body so that instead of grabbing her, which was her original intention, she hit his shoulder and he went tumbling down into the darkness.

"DAVIS!" Kari screamed shrilly before collapsing into loud, wet sobs.

A strong, clear voice rang out, "You killed him . . . you're a murderer, Kari."

Kari shot up quickly, her sobs lessening slightly, as she looked around frantically for the source of the sudden voice.

Suddenly, her brother's deep, smooth voice spoke, replacing the unknown one, "I'm ashamed to call you my little sister. You were jealous, so you got rid of the competition. I gotta admit; that was a nice move."

"You killed him," TK's once comforting voice commented, "You didn't trust me and rather than blame me . . . you blamed him. I never thought you could be so cold, Kari. You killed him."

"NO!" Kari yelled out, grabbing her head as more and more voices rang out through the now pounding ran.

Then all in unison they chanted, "You killed Davis. You killed Davis. You killed Davis."

Kari tossed in her bed, her purple sheet covers tangling in her legs. They stuck uncomfortably to her body, which was covered in a thick, cold sweat. She sighed heavily and when she opened her mouth to talk, a sudden scream came out.

She laid in bed screaming until Tai finally came in. Her brain and body weren't working together; her whole body felt out of synch.

"Shh Kar'. It's okay. You're alright. You're fine," Tai whispered over and over again, rubbing soothing circles on his sister's back. He awkwardly pulled her closer, stroking her hair with one hand.

"Tai, you won't believe it. I had this horrible dream! Davis . . . Davis, he was d-dead!" Kari spoke in a shallow, scratchy voice.

"Davis isn't dead, honey. He's alright, he's alright," Tai murmured comfortingly, clutching his sister tighter to his body.

Kari nodded, as if trying to convince herself, "Yeah . . . he's fine. I'm going to apologize at school. You better get ready, Tai," Kari added as an afterthought.

"Kari . . . we're not going to school today. I guess the principal figured too many people were going to skip anyway, so they could - " Tai broke off suddenly and an awkward silence filled the room.

"To what, Tai?" Kari prodded her older brother.

Tai didn't meet her eyes, "To visit Davis," he finally muttered.

Kari didn't think she'd heard him right, "But why?" Kari asked, still confused. She watched her brother with wide, innocent eyes.

He scratched his head and finally fumbled out, "Well . . . Davis isn't exactly fine, Kar'. I mean . . . he's not dead, at least," Tai finally muttered.

"You lied to me?"

Tai winced at the venom in his sister's eyes, "No! I was just trying to . . . you know . . . comfort you and stuff."

She glared at him slightly, "Tell me what really happened, Tai. What is wrong with Davis?"

He sighed, as if he wasn't going to, but the glare his sister was enough to convince him. "Well, his left leg is fractured - "

Kari looked horror-stricken, "Oh my God! No! Tai . . . what am I going to do? Davis loves soccer! What if . . . what if he can't play anymore?" She looked at her brother's face and she felt her body tremble.

"That's not all, is it?" Kari finally whispered, letting the tears slowly drip down her cheeks.

Tai sighed, "No Kar', it's not. He has a lot of minor things - bad cuts, scratches, breaks, you know? But . . . Davis . . . well last night . . . he well . . . he slipped into a coma," Tai finally let slip out.

"W-what? Th-that isn't funny, Tai! Stop . . . stop joking around!" Kari started to cry harder, not wanting to believe Tai's words, but failing not too. She whacked her hand across her brother's chest repeatedly, albeit halfheartedly.

After a few minutes, Tai finally continued, "Th-that's . . . well, that's not the worst part, Kari." Tai shifted uncomfortably and Kari looked up at him, looking like a beaten puppy.

"Th-then what is?"

"The doctors think . . . well they think that if Davis wakes up . . . he might be brain dead. There also worried about the slim possibility that Davis might just end up being a vegetable pretty hard. He hit his head pretty hard Kar' and something happened. But, remember! That's the just the worst scenario. It'll probably be a lot better than that!"

Tai closed his eyes and sighed. Neither Kamiya children spoke for several minutes. Eventually, Kari's cry worsened and her breaths came out shallower and wetter.

"Th-this is all my fault," Kari finally hiccupped out.

Tai grabbed her chin and made her look at him, "No, Kar'. Don't say that; don't even think it. You had no way of knowing what was going to happen. Alcohol does strange things to people . . . I would know. You're not the person that spoke to Davis," Tai said vehemently.

Kari closed her eyes, "Y-you forgive me, Tai?"

"There's nothing to forgive, but if you want to me say it . . . then yes, I forgive you." Tai's voice softened and he smiled sadly at his sister. Kari unexpectedly threw her arms around her brother and hugged him, with Tai letting out only a squeak of surprise. Kari leaned over and whispered into his ear:

"Then why can't you forgive Matt?"

Tai choked back a gasp and looked at her with shocked eyes.

"Tai . . . you're one of the most forgiving people I know. Why can't you bring yourself to forgive him?"

Tai looked away, not meeting her eyes. "Because then he'll get close to me again. I don't want to get hurt again Kar' . . . I really don't. Keeping him farther away keeps the memories farther too," Tai whispered.

"Tai . . . bringing him closer won't make you forget Kali. Keeping him father won't make you forget Kali. Your wounds aren't gone, Tai. So stop saying they are," Kari spoke loudly.

He mumbled quietly, "I know, Kar'. But . . . maybe if I deny it long enough, I'll be able to believe it." He shook his head, "We're not talking about that, anyway. Do you want to go see Davis?" Tai asked.

Kari swallowed thickly, "I'd like that . . ."

Tai got to his feet, "Go get ready, Kar'. I'll go tell Mom and Dad."

He smiled weakly and left the room. Kari laid down and soon succumbed to another round of sobs.

xXxXxXxXxXx

"Can you please give me any more information?" Jun Motomiya pleaded with the nearby nurse.

The blonde nurse shook her head, "Sorry hun. No can do. That's information's confidential. Only a parent or guardian is permitted to that kind of info. Wish I could help ya, but I can't," she said between chomps of her large, fruity smelling gum. She gave Jun a quick wave before turning and bouncing down the hall.

Jun shrieked indignantly, "Learn to talk, you uneducated slob! And I am no one's 'hun' but Matt's!" The ditzy nurse evidently chose to ignore her because she didn't even miss a step.

Jun let out a puff of indignation and started back to her brother's room. She paused and decided to get a snack from the nearby vending machine. She walked past her brother's room, sending a concerned glance in the poorly lit room. 'This is just great,' she thought desperately, 'The one weekend Mom and Dad decide to go on a camping trip . . . this happens. Good idea to go camping where you get no cell reception,' she thought bitterly.

Just as she put her money in, the same blonde kid from the previous night came rushing in.

He panted out, "You're Jun, right?"

It took Jun a minute that he was addressing her. She blinked and nodded.

"Yeah. Are you one of my brother's friends?" Jun asked, gripping the small bag of pretzels to her chest.

The blonde kid slumped over and looked on the verge of tears, ". . . No."

Jun blinked and awkwardly patted his back. She smiled at him uncertainly, "Then why are you here? I mean, no offense, but if you don't care about him . . ." Jun trailed off and backed away slightly from the sudden fiery look in the boy's eyes.

"I do care about him!" He responded fervently, "Why doesn't anyone believe me?" He groaned, loosing his anger and slumped forward.

Jun shrugged, eating a pretzel, "I dunno. What's your name, anyway, kid?"

"TK Takashi," he replied sadly.

Jun started choking and finally spit out a hunk of half chewed pretzel.

"Matt Ishida's brother?" She finally asked, unable to hide the glee in her voice.

TK looked anxiously at Davis's room, but finally muttered, "Yeah. So?"

"Oh. My. GOD. You are so cute! Can you get me an autograph? Or some piece of clothing?! PLEASE?! PLEASE?!" Jun fell down and latched herself onto TK's legs.

TK hurriedly unlatched her death grip, "Umm . . . right. So . . . I've gotta go . . . bye!" He took off at a sprint for Davis's room, narrowly missing kicking Jun in the head (who had stubbornly clung on to one of his legs).

He quickly slammed the door shut and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ohh," he moaned quietly before reluctantly opening his eyes.

"AHH!" TK yelled suddenly and the two figures who startled him, looked up at him with blank expressions on their faces.

"Yolei . . . ? Ken . . . ?" TK asked hesitantly. Yolei glared at him from across the room as she visually tightened her grip on Davis's hand (which she refused to let go). Ken glanced at Yolei, before sighing and walking towards the blonde.

Ken looked at TK curiously, "What are you doing here?"

TK dropped down into a nearby chair as he muttered, "I wanted to see 'Suke . . . "

The other boy raised an eyebrow, "'Suke?" He questioned with a strained smiled.

TK smiled fleetingly, "Umm . . . yeah. We made up nicknames for each other - kind of stupid really, but it was kind of a inside joke . . . and yeah. I should probably stop calling him that now, though, 'cause he hates me and he never wants to speak to me again," TK babbled.

Ken's calculating look turned icy. "You hurt him?" Ken questioned lowly.

"No! Well . . . yeah, I guess. Kari was the one who said it, though. She didn't mean it! I know she didn't! It was just the alcohol!" TK shook his head briefly, "It doesn't even matter how it happened; he hates me."

Ken seemed to contemplate this for a second before walking calmly over to TK and hitting him in the cheek with his fist.

TK shot up and pushed Ken away angrily, grabbing his damaged cheek. "What's your problem?!" TK asked vehemently.

"Sorry about that," Ken said, wincing at the blonde's red cheek, "I just needed to get it out of my system. I can get you ice or something, if you want."

TK stared strangely at the blunette, "So you punched me because . . .?"

"Because you hurt my best friend," Ken replied simply. "If you do it again . . . well, I'll be liable to kill you - though I probably won't." He sighed, "I hurt him too . . . so I guess we're in the same boat."

The blonde took a step forward, "Then I guess I should hit you, too!"

Ken glanced at Yolei, "It doesn't work like that. I hurt him unintentionally, anyway."

TK grabbed Ken angrily by his shirt collar, "What are you talking about?!" He demanded, "I didn't mean to hurt him either! He is - was . . . whatever - one of my friends!"

"STOP IT!"

Ken and TK both stepped away from each other and turned their heads to find an angry lavender-haired girl glaring back at them.

"This isn't helping him! Davis is hurt and you two fighting won't help. You two are both his friends, so just . . . SHUT UP!" Yolei bit her lip and turned her head away from them.

"Say you're sorry," she finally muttered.

"Fine. Sorry Ken."

"Sorry TK."

Yolei nodded at them in a motherly way. "Good. Now we can focus on my important things . . . like Davis, for example. Just remember, fighting doesn't solve anything."

TK and Ken glanced at each other sheepishly before they both turned to face their comatose friend.

"I don't think I can go in Tai," a high, upset voice pleaded from outside the door. All three people in the room turned around and listened.

"Kari . . . it will make you feel better if you go and see him. I know you're sorry. Now go," Tai said, gently pushing his sister into the room and closing the door behind her. Kari's eyes widened as she observed the occupants of the room.

"What are you doing here?!" Yolei demanded, relinquishing her grip on Davis's hand so that she could walk towards the other girl.

Kari bit her lip, forcibly keeping tears down. "I j-just wanted to s-see him. I-I'm so sorry," she stuttered nervously.

Yolei inched closer to the girl, "Well that does a lot of good now, doesn't it?" Yolei asked sarcastically. "He's in a coma. He might die."

Kari's lip quivered, "I kn-know. I'm sorry. I d-didn't mean any of it! I'm so sorry Davis," Kari said to the unconscious boy, unable to fight the few tears that slide down her pale cheeks.

TK grimaced and reached his hand out to comfort her, but stopped and pulled it back reluctantly. 'She really had it coming,' he thought, 'But then . . . why does it hurt so much to see her in pain?'

"Get out!" Yolei shouted, "You don't belong here! You're the reason he's here! You're the reason he's hurt." Her chin quivered, "I'll never forgive you!"

Yolei face crumpled and she let her tears fall freely down her cheeks.

"B-but I didn't mean to," Kari whispered, "I hate myself for it. I hate myself. I just wanted to see him." She reached out gently and rubbed Davis's forearm.

The other girl snapped, "Don't touch him!" Yolei drew her hand back automatically and slapped Kari across the cheek.

Kari's eyes widened and her flow of tears worsened. She made no move to grab her injured cheek, however.

Yolei felt her mouth open, "Ohh. I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me," Yolei nearly yelled, feeling an immense swell of guilt consume her.

Kari took a shallow breath and shook her head, "N-no. You're right. I . . . I should leave." She turned around quickly and sprinted out the door.

TK and Ken both stared at Yolei in disbelief before Ken started to snicker.

Yolei put her hands on her hips shakily, "What's so funny, Ken?" She chided, "I just hit her! I don't see the humor in that!" Yolei glared angrily at the bluenette.

Ken bit his lip to keep from laughing again. "Fighting doesn't solve anything, eh?"

He looked at her face for a minute before bursting into nervous laughter. TK tried to remain stoic, but soon couldn't help a few chuckles slipping from his lips. Yolei stood shell shocked in front of them before starting to laugh with them.

'I guess this is what Matt means when he says people laugh to hide their pain,' TK thought, still giggling.

Suddenly, a very angry Tai Kamiya burst into the room.

"Which one of you hit her?" He asked coldly. "I'll kill you," he threatened, grabbing the nearest person by the scruff of the neck (who just so happened to be Ken).

"Who was it?" He asked, shaking Ken. "You? Stupid little twerp."

Tai looked like he was going to raise his fist, but a feeble voice broke him out of his rage.

"It was m-me," Yolei stuttered, "I'm so s-sorry. Please t-tell her that." The tears started to fall steadily down Yolei's cheeks and Tai's eyes softened.

He released Ken and smiled at him apologetically, "Sorry for overreacting." He glanced at Yolei, "I'll tell her."

He smiled sheepishly before his expression grew serious. "How's Davis doing?" He asked, his eyes plastered to the comatose boy.

"He's fine . . . well as good as can be expected, anyway," TK answered in a hollow voice.

Tai nodded, "Well that's good, I guess." He glanced towards the door. "I have to go get Kari. I hope you all know how bad she feels," he added on before walking after his sister.

Yolei walked back to Davis and sat down on the chair closet to him, resting her head on his chest.

Ken looked between Yolei and Davis before sighing quietly. He turned towards TK, "Umm . . . TK, could you leave for a minute?" Ken asked.

TK looked at them strangely before nodding.

" . . . Sure," he said, going back to the waiting room.

Yolei brought her head up. "Why'd you make him leave, Ken?" She questioned, looking at her boyfriend with a confused expression on her face.

Ken sighed and dropped down in the seat closest to Yolei. "We have to talk."

xXxXxXxXxXx

Sorry for the mistakes, but I have a major headache right now.

Please review! :D
