Chapter 17: The Switch Day 5/Part 1: If There's A Will, There's A Way

~~~Takesuke/Dakeru 4 ever~~~

~Dai POV~

"So, you're saying that TK and Davis switched bodies, right?"

PAUSE

"So, this isn't Takeru?"

PAUSE

"This is Daisuke?"

PAUSE

"And over there is TK, in Dais?"

PAUSE

"Ha! Yea right, very funny! And Kar's a girl!"

The sound of a smack across, what seemed to be, a head caused me to subconsciously smile. My eyes were still heavy and I was sore all over. I couldn't quite remember what had happened.

"Dai?" I heard a singsong voice call out to me and tried to open my lids.

"Daisuke, you awake man?" Another familiar voice. Now I knew I had to wake up.

My eyes fluttered and bright lights blinded me as I glanced around. About four people instantly hugged me and a muffled sob emitted from the group.

"Guys?" I tried to speak, but my voice came out crackled and whisper-like.

Cries of happiness surrounded me as my vision cleared. Kari and Ken were on my left, Tai and Matt to my right.

Suddenly my memory flooded my mind and my eyes flashed through memories I almost forgot I had: Jun hurt, Dad hit, TK help, hurt, crying.

Ow, TK, Dad, Jun. Jun.

"JUN! WHERE'S JUN?!" Some how, even though mentally and emotionally drained, I tried to jump out of the bed I was in. It took Ken and Matt to hold me down, and even then I was almost out of the room. Kari quickly grabbed my arm and gently soothed, "Don't worry. Jun's okay. She's next door."

I calmed down and allowed Matt and Ken to push me back down. Tai stood a few feet away, his face showing how dumfound he was.

"So, what these guys are saying is true? Are you really Davis?"

I cocked my head at him and said a-matter-of-factly, "Who else would I be?"

Kari, Ken and Matt seemed to think that this was quite funny and cracked up. Tai slowly caught on and laughed himself. Too bad I didn't quite get this "inside joke".

"What the hell's so funny?"

Matt shook his head and said, "Never mind, just get some more rest. We're going to go get some food down by the cafeteria." My group of friends slowly made their way towards the door. Tai, still obviously weirded out by the whole situation, was the first to grab for the door handle. Kari asked if I would be okay, and smiled lovingly when I nodded reassuringly. Ken gave me a light punch to the arm and Matt sighed. "Hey, take care of Takeru for me, kay?"

I nodded in reply and they left, the door clicking shut. I turned to gaze over to my body, sleeping sound on the bed next to mine.

I glanced around the hospital room. I never noticed how white the room was. How white the walls were, how white the sheets were, how white every little thing was.

I also noticed how white TK's, or more of mine I guess, face was. Well, overall, how white he looked in general. He looked so sickly and it worried me. I was told to take care of him, no?

I crept out of the bed, pulled off all those stupid machine wires off my arms, and walked over to TK's bed. When I grazed my fingers on his face, I gasped. He was so cold, like snow. I decided that the only solution was to warm him up. So, I crawled in.

I wrapped my arms around him and shivered. He moved beneath me and mumbled nonsense. I smiled tenderly and wished so much that it was TK's real face, and not mine, so I could-

So I could what? Did I like him? Yes, I liked him lots. Very lots. More than I had ever liked anything never ever. Did I love him? I admitted it there and then. I loved him. I loved him so much; I thought I was going to blow with the swirling emotions inside me. I loved TK for TK. Not in any particular way or for any exact reason. Just because I could, and he could.

TK helped me place myself, face my fears. He didn't know it, but I had finally figured out that I was a person capable of being loved, and able to love back with the same force.

He loved me? He loved me! He actually loved me, Daisuke. I smiled giddily and whispered into the sleeping boy's ears, "I love you. Love you, love you. I wish you could see. Cause I want to tell you that I love you."

~TK POV~

I was sleeping in a peaceful, dreamless slumber. At least dreamless until I felt a presence along side my own. My mind popped an image of Davis, sitting in class sleeping. I almost laughed. It was almost a week since that day that I jacked some cigarettes from my mom, fell asleep on the couch, and woke up as my fantasy filling hottie.

He didn't love me. He didn't love me! He didn't love me, Takeru. I grimaced in regret for ever letting Dais read that damn paper. I kept saying to the Davis in my mind, `I love you. I just wish you could see. Then I could tell you that I love you.'

I willed him to wake up, wishing oh-so hard. But instead, I was the one who woke up.

Who says dreams don't come true?

My eyes flickered and I noticed that I was surrounded by white and bright light. Am I dead? Maybe I went into a coma. But no, the EMC told us that we were gonna be okay, right? My doubts on life quickly vanished when a small, distant beeping sound beside me flooded my ears.

I suddenly became aware of the slow and steady rhythm of breathing under me and opened my eyes wider. I smiled with absolute glee when I registered the body below me.

I wasn't my body; it was Dai's. I think you can catch on from here.

I don't know what lured me, and to be honest, I couldn't've cared less. I was just so overcome with contained joy that my sense of common control disappeared.

I didn't care that Dai was probably straight. And that he probably would hate me forever.

As I slowly lowered my head further down that what it already was, I closed my eyes.

^

~Dai POV~

I must've fallen asleep really quickly, because before ten seconds had passed, I was in dream-land.

My dreams were cotton-cloudy sweet as I soared through blissful light blue skies.

Then my world shuttered in joy and pleasure surrounded me. Something was poking at me, telling me to wake up.

And I did. And did I ever enjoy waking up to the view I had.

I smiled as I saw blonde hair brushing up against my forehead and felt the weight of the most beautiful upon me.

I nearly sighed in delight as I felt something soft brush against my lips. I had my lips back, and thank dear god I did cause I wouldn't ever trade this moment for anything.

As I woke up even more than before, I noticed fingers sifting through my hair and gently rubbing my scalp. Taking my love by surprise, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed deeply into the kiss. I nearly laughed when I heard a squeak emit from the boy's mouth before he pushed back in agreement.

I held on tightly as I felt his tongue against my lips, playing with me. I pushed my own out and nearly moaned with pure delight with the ecstasy I felt when the two tongues held contact. Gently, he explored my mouth as I sucked softly. God, never ever, nothing so wonderful.

Never would I ever be happier anywhere else.

^

~TK's POV~

I was kissing my Dai. My Dai. It sounds so perfect, so right. And he was kissing right back.

Pleasure and harmony made my ears pound with power, as if my heart was inside my head. Joy and happiness flooded us. It was just us. Nothing could stop the beauty that held us, the aura that I'm sure was surrounding us was glowing. It was pure nirvana. Untainted and clear. We were radiating love.

I pulled away for but a second, desperately seeking for air, and panted heavily. Davis followed suit, even though I saw the displeasure on his face.

Our eyes were locked, the gaze never wavering. He smiled and placed a chaste kiss on my nose. not wanting anything less than a simple kiss, I placed one of my own on his chin. It was like kiss tennis, him kissing my ear, then me kissing his cheek. Once all out facial features were lovingly kissed, Davis placed another, harder kiss to my neck.

Hormones caused the moan that came out form my throat. Before we could get deeper into the system of hot and heavy, I pulled at the sheets that separated us. Davis obliged quickly, sitting up and tugging the sheets upward with him. We laid down next to each other, side by side, and held each other.

Before anything else, I connected our eyes once again. "I love you Dais."

His face lit up and that famous grin of his split his face.

"I love you, Keru."

My oh my. What a perfect day. And what could make it any more perfect? Well, let's see, hot koi in my arms, just longing to be kissed, touched, loved. What can I say, I pick up fast.

I pulled him closer and gently kissed his lips. He kissed me back quickly, as if unsure. Surely he wasn't serious, I thought as I kissed him again, with powerful force. He squeaked out a slight word that seemed to sound a lot like my name.

We stopped and stared into each other's eyes again. His hazel beams glittered with love, trust, and belief. As I stared back, radiating the same emotions, I knew that I'd never want to die again. Even if, god forbid, anything were to happen to him or me, I'd still love life starting at thins moment and onward.

As if reading each other's minds, we pulled into a strong embrace, just simply holding each other. I wonder if he ever knew that I had tears falling down my face.

~Norm~

Tai and Matt were heading back towards room 212, where Davis and TK were. As they began to open the door, a doctor approached them.

"Mr. Takashi?" he looked at Matt. Yama smiled and shook his head. "No, that's my mom's maiden name. Mine is Ishida."

"Oh." The youthful doctor glanced at his clipboard. "Yes, I see. Well, young Motomiya's sister…"

Tai and Matt quickly glanced at each other and then back to the doctor.

"Yes, well, she is alive." Matt sighed and Tai closed his eyes in relief. "But," the doctor continued. "Barely. She's attached to a life support machine. The truth is that she suffered too much damage to the head. There's not much hope to her ever being the same again. She's barely holding on right now. Ask the boy if he's okay with letting her go. It's really the best thing to do. Otherwise she'll be almost soulless for the rest of her life, which wouldn't be very long. 5 years the most. I'm sorry."

the doctor, inexperienced with having to tell a teen to either spare a life or take it away, abruptly walked away pale-faced, leaving two boys to the horrible task.

Odiaba Headliner

Man is sentenced guilty to 20 counts and is given life

Nissa Idou

Today a man lost his life to the justice system of Odiaba. Jon Motomiya was found guilt in all 20 counts, including 10 Child Abuse counts and 10 more in manslaughter of a family member.

His son, a boy of 16, gave the judge and jury a testimony of the abuse. The jury was very moved by his boldness and courage, most of them crying as his story came to an end.

Motomiya pled guilty himself and tried to ask the court for 10-20 year sentence. The jury and judge found this unsuitable, slapping him with 99 years instead.

The young Motomiya also had to let his older sister, Jun, 20, go on the same day. Motomiya beat her until her brain was completely destroyed. Her life would've had to depend on a life support machine.

The young Motomiya wouldn't give a comment, but we managed to get one from one of his close friends, 16.

"(name) is the strongest person alive. I love him and I know that he'll get through this. And I hope that filth rots in hell. Thank you."
