Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Chocolate Ice ❯ Chapter 3

Hospitals. If Taichi was asked what he hated most, hospitals would be his answer no hesitation. Nikki sat in a chair near him her clothes wet with bloody water and blood its self. Tai was not much better off, actually he was worse. When they found Matt, he'd practically leapt in the tub while Nikki had called the ambulance. Her short black hair was knotted and wet, her eyes showed great fear and were red from crying, her skin paler than usual, all in all, Nikki looked like a wreck. Tai was pretty much soaked to the bone in bloody water. Neither had changed, and neither wanted to leave until they heard news about Matt. They were so shook up by the time the ambulance had gotten there because they had barely been able to slow the blood flow down that they could hardly tell them Matt's information.

"Mr. Kamiya, Miss. Orimoto?" a nurse poked her head in their private waiting room.

"Hai?!" They both rushed over to her.

"He's stable. Is there a number we can call to get a family member?" she asked. Tai paled, while Nikki rattled off TK's number.

"Can we see him? Is he out of intensive care? What do you know?" Nikki asked grabbing the nurse before she could leave.

"I can tell you after we've spoken with his family," she said pulling roughly away from Nikki and glaring at her. She stomped off to the desk to make the call.

"If only I wasn't so STUPID!" Nikki said suddenly. Tai placed his hands on her shoulders and led her to sit down.

"I was stupid Nikki…"

"No. I left him alone. I should have seen that he was that depressed again… This is all my fault! I let my anger with you lead me from his side! I left him alone! I was so stupid! But I wanted to know why! And now, Yama-oniichan is hurt!"

"I was trying to avoid him so that no one would get on him for being bi. I knew he was into me, but the thought of him being the target of a gay bashing was more than I could take. So I did the one thing I could think of, I stayed away. Protecting him from a distance."

"Bi?" Nikki snorted. "The boy is such a queen! Take his dick away and give him a fucking chest and he could be Miss. Japan!"

"I thought he was bi… I mean the whole Sora thing.."

"Ever wonder why it didn't last more than a month?" Nikki asked.

"No."

"There was nothing in it for him. And once he explained it to her, she actually agreed and is now happily with, you'll get a kick out of this, Mimi Tachikawa."

"Heh. I always knew that Sora was a little too much of a boy for any guy…" Tai said quietly. Nikki snickered before they fell into a silence, waiting for the Takaishis to arrive. TK burst into the room about ten minutes later.

"What happened?!" he asked before actually catching sight of them and his knees gave way and he was caught by his mother who was gaping at the two teens.

"Dear Gods…. What did he do this time?" she asked.

"You really don't want us to go there yet," Nikki said. Tai nodded just before TK walked over and slapped him. Nikki blinked and let the blonde yell at him.

"You are why he's here! If you hadn't been avoiding him then he'd be okay!" TK yelled at him before Nikki had enough.

"Can it TK. We're both to blame okay? It's because I went to yell at Tai that Matt had the chance to…FUCK!" she swore covering her face with her hands.

"But he was avoiding him!" TK said as tears poured down his face.

"TK. If I'd known, what I know now. I would have told Yama that I love him instead of what I'd done."

"All of you sit down and calm down," Mrs. Takaishi said. TK sat next to Nikki as they waited for more information. Once the doctor came in and explained what was going on and ordered Nikki and Tai to change or leave immediately, the group (with freshly changed and sorta washed up Tai and Nikki) was able to wait in Matt's room. Tai on one side holding on hand with Nikki by him while Yamato's family was on the other side. It was going to be a very long night…
