To Feel Your Pain

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom? Why can't dad just meet us there...why do we have to go all the way up there?" She pointed to the Northern Tower of the World Trade Center.

Miya looked down at her daughter, "Because sweetie, he doesn't even know he's going to the game."

Hikari looked at her mother, "Then how..."

"Simple, Tai was so devastated that Michael wouldn't be able to come, so I called in to work and asked them to let him off so he can go see his son play. They agreed, but only if he came in to work earlier the next day."

Hikari shook her head at her mother, "He's gonna be mad at you, you know that right?"

Miya shrugged, "Well at least he'll get to see Taichi play before he's whisked away to go play professional."

They laughed as they stepped on to the elevator to ride it to the fifty-sixth floor.

The elevator dinged as it came to its destination, as they stepped off, they heard the sound of a plane, but ignored it, thinking that it was a plane that was getting ready to land at the airport.

"So...where exactly is dad's office?"

Miya shrugged, "Just look for the door with his name on it."

After about five minutes of searching, the finally came to Michael's office.

"Here it is!" Miya exclaimed, bursting through the door, causing her husband to look up from the computer he was working at.

"Miya?" He asked confused.

She waved, "Hi-ya honey, We...me and Hikari...have come to kidnap you and take you to Taichi's game, against your will!"

He raised an eyebrow, "Oh rea-"

Suddenly a crash was heard, and glass and other appliances shattered everywhere.

People started screaming and rushing towards the elevators and stairs.

"What was that?" Miya asked, as the smoke alarms went off, and smoke filled the building.

"I don't know, where's Hikari?"

"Mom!Dad!Over here!"

Turning towards her voice, they saw her, crushed under a piece of the wall that had caved in when the plane hit.

"Hikari!" They exclaimed coughing as they hurried over to their daughter.

"Are you alright?" Asked Michael, struggling to lift the piece of concrete wall, while Miya pulled her out.

"I can't feel my legs..." She whispered, tears running down her cheeks, "It hurts...so much..."

"Its alright Hikari, calm down, we'll be out of here soon." Michael whispered picking her up and carrying her towards the elevator.

"Michael, What are you doing? It won't be safe to take the elevator, the stairs are saferཀ" !

He turned to look at his wife, "Honey, its safer this way, and if we were to take the stairs then the building could collapse in us, so even though the elevator isn't safe, its still faster."

"But-" Miya looked at her daughter, moaning in pain and heard a crash close by, she looked out the window, the other tower had been hit too! "Alright." she said rushing in the elevator behind her husband.

He pushed the ground floor button, the elevator running smoothly down the building.

"See Miya, were goin-" Suddenly the lights started flickering, and the car stopped.

"Mom? Why did we stop?" Hikari whispered.

"I don't know Hikari, I don't know." Miya pushed at the emergency button, but nothing happened.

Sounds of screams from the other tower were heard. Miya gasped.

"Oh no!"

"Dad? Are we going to make it out?"

"Yes Hikari, we are."

She smiled, "Good, I never got a chance to wish Taichi luck this morning."

Miya smiled, her eyes watered, he know as well as she did, they weren't going to make it out.

"I love you Taichi, always remember that."

The sound of groaning metal filtered through the elevator shaft.

Screams were heard.

The World Trade Center is no more.

------------------------------------------------------

The screen went black as the stop button was pushed.

Taichi sat on the bed, knees up to his chest, tears rolling down his cheeks. 'Why do I keep on watching this if it makes me cry even more?' 'Why can't I forget? Why does it keep on haunting me?'

He stared at the screen as he hit play, turning the volume down low, as the video came to the part here his mother had his dad around the neck, telling him they were kidnaping him, he smiled a bit and paused it, just to see his dad's confused face, his mom's laughing face and Hikari rolling her eyes.

More tears leaked from his eyes as he pressed play again.

'...and take you to Taichi's game, against your will!'

'That's right,' He thought, 'It's my fault they were in there, if I would have never accepted that scholarship to that college in New York, then they would still be here.'

"Its all my fault..." He whispered.

Suddenly the door opened and the light cut on.

"Good Morning Taichi!" said the happy voice of Daisuke.

Taichi didn't say anything, but wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Ne, Taichi, what ya doin'?

He shook his head, "Nothing Daisuke."

Daisuke shook his head and walked over towards the blank TV. "You were watching it again."

It wasn't a question, it was a statement, a blunt one that made Taichi wince.

"Taichi, you know how watching it makes you..."

He looked down, "Well, I just want to remember them."

"Taichi, look, I know you miss them, but they wouldn't want you to mope around the house and mourn for them, they would want you to follow your dream."

Taichi looked up his eyes blazing, "Don't. Go. There." He growled out, "You don't know a damn thing, so don't go acting like you do. Don't you get it Daisuke? Its MY fault for them being dead, if they were to come back right now as ghosts, they would hate me, because its..." He stopped, tears coming back to his eyes, he lowered his head, "Get out."

"Taichi...what's wro-"

"Get the fuck outta my room."

Daisuke opened his mouth but looked at Taichi, his thin frame shook with the quiet sobs he tries to hide. He sighed, "Alright Taichi, just remember, at noon your coming with me, Takeru, and Yamato to lunch. The last time you had a good decent meal was two days ago and you can't keep living off of fruit." With that he turned around and walked out of the room.

When the door closed Taichi looked up, a slight smile on his face.

'Thank you Daisuke.'

The smile dropped off of his face.

'But I don't deserve it.'

He quietly closed the door and turned towards Yamato and Takeru, a straight face. Then he smiled, "Mission accomplished."

"Good job Dai." Takeru said smiling a bit.

"Thanks." He replied blushing.

"Well," Yamato said, "I have about two hours to figure out what to do after lunch. Daisuke, Takeru, it's you two's job to make sure that he's ready, and if he refuses, then do all you can to get him out of that room."

They nodded.

"Okay." Yamato walked off.

"Hey Takeru?"

"Yea Dai?"

"He's got something up his sleeve doesn't he."

"Oh yea."

"Thought so."

---------------------------------------------------

"Dad? Are we going to make it out?"

"Yes Hikari, we are."

She smiled, "Good, I never got a chance to wish Taichi luck this morning."

Finally I would love to thank my reviewers again, it means so much to me.
