School Days

By: Takerus Lost Angel

 

 

 

Hikari placed the last toiletries in the carryon bag and placed it at the front door. “'Onestly, Hikawri, ivs like your tying to ged riv ov me.”

 

“Takeru, I have absolutely no idea what you just said.”

 

Takeru removed the toothbrush from his mouth and repeated himself. “I said; honestly, Hikari it is like your trying to get rid of me.”

 

“Oh, Takeru; I would do no such thing. You and I both know that this could possibly be the best thing for us and the baby.”

 

“I know, I know Hikari, but I would still rather spend Christmas here with you, there are other conventions.” Takeru whined, while shoving his toothbrush in his carryon bag.

 

“Takeru.” She said sternly. “Was it not you who kept going on and on about how big this convention was and how some of the biggest publishing companies would be there?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Was it not you who said they would do absolutely anything to be there?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Was it not you who said…”

 

Takeru cut his wife off by silencing her with his finger. “Hikari I get it, but can you not come with me? We can go to some romantic dinner a carriage ride through Piccadilly Circus?” Takeru embraced his wife and lightly kissed her nose.

 

“Takeru stop!” She giggled. “You know I can not go, I have an interview at that stupid photo lab.”

 

“Blow it off.” He whispered in her ear.

 

She pulled away from her husband, and threw his carryon at him. “You are going and that is final.”

 

“Do I not even get one final say in the matter?” He looked at her with his bright blue eyes, pleading that they would break her.

 

Hikari shook her head, while grabbing her own bag. “Takeru, it is only one stupid holiday, we will have others to celebrate together. Now, if you do not hurry up, you will not make it to the airport on time.” She smiled while giving him a kiss on the cheek. “Do you have Taichi and Sora's number that I gave you?”

 

“No.”

 

“What do you mean no? How are you supposed to call when you get to London?”

 

“I will call Yamato, and he will call Tai.” He said as matter of fact. “Then again I do not think I have his number either.”

 

Hikari groaned. “He is your brother, what do you mean you do not have his number?”

 

“Calm down Hikari, I have everyone's number. I was only teasing you.” He quickly gave his wife a kiss before she could hit him.

 

“I swear Takeru; you are going to be the death of me!”

 

----*----*----*----

 

Sora slowly opened the apartment door to a red faced Hikari. “Hi.” She breathed as she walked across the threshold.

 

Sora took her coat and placed it in the closet. “Honestly Hikari, just because we said dinner was at six, didn't mean you had to race over here.” She said in a warning tone, while giving her the `you're a pregnant woman, who in the hell runs in that state' look.

 

Hikari chuckled. “Sora, I did not run over her, Takeru was being Takeru.” She said with a sigh. “Sometimes it is a game to him; let's see how flustered we can get Hikari.”

 

Sora shook her head in an understanding manner. “It is men in general, Hikari!” She said with a laugh.

 

“So where is that dear old brother of mine?” She questioned while trying to look for him in the small apartment.

 

“He should be home any minute.” The auburn hair woman stated while looking at her watch.

 

No sooner then the words came out of her mouth when the front door swung open, and an exasperated looking Taichi came running into the tiny hall, nearly knocking the two women over. He quickly kicked his shoes off while giving both women a kiss on the cheek.

 

“Hi Sora, hi Hikari.” The bushy hair man; brushed pass them as he walked towards the kitchen. “Smells good Sor, what's for…” The man stopped mid sentence and turned around to face the two women. “Hikari? What are you doing here?”

 

Hikari rolled her eyes. “Taichiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.” She stated in a very annoyed tone. “I'm staying with you guys for a couple of days, remember?”

 

Taichi looked at Sora to see if this was some sick twisted joke they were playing on him. “Is it true Sora?”

 

Sora rolled her eyes as she marched past her husband. “Honestly Taichi, do you not listen to anything I say? With you it goes in one ear and out the other…” The woman continued to rant about her husband's inability to process any sort of information.

 

“Look what you did?” Taichi hissed to his younger sibling.

 

“What did I do? You are the one who forgot!” She argued back.

 

“Well if you weren't here, then I wouldn't be in this mess now would I?”

 

Hikari shook her head. “It is your own fault that you are so forgetful! By the way it is were not and would not! What are you in kindergarten?” She stuck her tongue out.

 

“No wonder Takeru left for London, he couldn't deal with you craziness or the hormones. Oh and lucky me gets to deal with two of you! Maybe I should have gone to London with him.” He stared dreamily at the ceiling.

 

Hikari slapped Taichi before making her way to the kitchen.

 

“Not funny Hikari.” He whined, while rubbing his arm where she had hit him.

 

----*----*----*----

 

“Dinner was amazing Sora.” The young brunette complemented as she began to help clear the table.

 

“Really, I thought it tasted a little funny.” Taichi muttered from his seat at the table.

 

“You have no appreciation for different foods.” His wife muttered back, while putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

 

Hikari sighed in thought. She and Takeru should really think of purchasing a dishwasher; considering they wash everything by hand. It would make life so much more convenient, especially with a baby on the way. She would have to talk to Takeru when he came back from his trip.

 

“I can not believe how many people are going to be here at Christmas.” Hikari smiled happily, as the trio sat down in the living room.

 

“Too bad not everyone is going to be here though.” Taichi said in thought.

 

“Why, who said they were not going to be here?” Hikari pondered, while taking a count of all the digidestined and their families.

 

“Joe said he could not make it because he has to work the midnight shift at the hospital.” Tai stated while exaggerating the not.

 

“Ken and Miyako can not make it either, they have to go to the Ichijouji's, and now Takeru can not make it.” Sora said adding to the list.

 

“Oh I talked to Cody today.” Tai said breaking everyone's thoughts. “He was just going over a few more concerns about opening up a digital portal to the real world. I tried to explain that Koushiro and I were only doing this to monitor its development and safety.”

 

“Your point of that spiel was what Taichi?” Hikari said in a flat tone while yawning.

 

“He told me he could not make it either, he has some huge court case or something going on, and that he should be working on. He said that he may get together on New Years.”

 

“So that leaves; Yamato and Mimi, Hikari, Koushiro, Daisuke, and us. Wait, has anyone talked to Daisuke?” Sora asked while counting everyone on her fingers.

 

“I did, he said that he would not pass up the opportunity to eat as much food as humanly possible.” Hikari yawned again, while looking at her watch. “I think I should get some sleep.” She said her goodnights, as she made her room to the spare bedroom. She hoped that Takeru's flight was fine, and that he was to call her in the morning.

 

----*----*----*----

 

Two days before Christmas were a blur. Takeru had called and said that he loved the convention and met several top publishers. Sora was running back and forth to the studio making sure that all of her designs were sent on time, while Taichi spent most of his time with Koushiro trying to make a digital world gate open long enough for them to get sufficient data.

 

However, Christmas Eve day was moving as slow as possible, well only for Hikari. She had been up half the night sick with the pregnancy and had been out of commission for the remainder of the day. An hour before everyone was heading over; Hikari had decided she should help Sora with dinner.

 

“Hikari nonsense, you are our guest. I do not expect you to be cooking, go on relax.”

 

“Sora, come on!” She sounded like a two year old whining for another cookie. “It is the least I could do considering you have allowed me to stay here.”

 

Sora finally caved in, and Hikari began to chop some carrots and celery. The two talked and joked about the pregnancy. Sora found out a couple of months earlier that she was having a girl, and did not have the heart to tell Taichi, considering all of the soccer paraphernalia he bought.

 

The apartment began to buzz with excitement as many of the digidestined arrived. Taichi and the guys cracked open a bottle of champagne to celebrate, while the woman sat with their arms crossed, not able to participate in the facilities.

 

“I hate being pregnant.” Mimi cursed while sipping her soda. “Why is it we have to be the ones pregnant, while those guys get to party. I wish the roles were reversed.”

 

Sora chuckled. “I agree with you Mimi, but do you really think that men could support a baby? They whine and complain too much already. The three women laughed whole heartedly.

 

The large group managed to arrange themselves around the small kitchen table that Tai and Sora owned. “Next year, we need to find a bigger place!” Koushiro whined as he was squished between Taichi and Daisuke.

 

Hikari laughed. “Next, year they will be a lot more people running around. We will need to book a banquet hall for all of us.”

 

Sora placed the last dishes on the table when, Hikari's cell phone began to ring. Hikari apologized. “Just ignore it guys.” However, the phone consistently rang.

 

“Answer it Hikari, it's probably Takeru.” Yamato said, while picking her phone up off the end table.

 

“Moshi, moshi! Oh, hello Takeru.” She replied into the phone.

 

“HELLO TAKERU!” Everyone chorused, as Hikari strain to hear what Takeru was saying.

 

“Hikari, I need you to do me a favour!” The blond begged on the phone.

 

“Takeru, were just about to start eating. Can it way until after?”

 

“No, it is really, really important! Think of it as a sign.”

 

“A sign? A sign for what?” She questioned irritated.

 

“I need you to go to the roof.”

 

“Are you crazy? It is freezing up there!”

 

“Please do it for me! There's something amazing happening in the sky and I want to know if you can see it too!”

 

“Takeru…”

 

“Hikari, are you going?”

Hikari sighed, she had been defeated. “Ok, ok, I am going. Are you happy now? Takeru nodded, though he knew his wife could not see his face. Hikari received confused looks from her `family' as she grabbed her coat and shoes.

“So where are you?”

 

“Talk about being impatient Takeru, I'm in the stairwell. I'm almost at the roof.” Hikari climbed the stairs two at a time until she reached the last door. She pushed the door open to reveal a beautiful sight. There were dozens of candles decorated across the rooftop. Soft music was playing in the background, and right in the middle of the roof was Takeru Takashi.

 

“I thought you might want some hot apple cider.” He said with a laugh as he spoke into the phone.

 

“What are you doing here?” She breathed, her eyes brimming with tears of happiness.

 

“Seriously Hikari, did you really believe that I would miss sharing Christmas with you?”

 

Hikari dropped her phone and ran to her husband; he pulled her into a loving embrace and kissed her as passionately as possible. This was one night that neither of them would forget.

 

“Can we eat?”

 

“Not yet Taichi, you can wait until your sister comes back.” Sora warned.

 

“But, she's not even here!” He bellyached.

 

“And you Daichi, stop sneaking bites of food!” Sora hissed not even looking at the boy.

 

“How did she know?” Daisuke whispered to the other mean, hoping that Sora had not heard him.

 

“Hormones; Daichi, hormones.” Was all Taichi could say before the rest of them fell into a fit of laughter.

Well because it is the holiday season and I feel in a good mood, I'll give you a little sneak peak of what you can expect in the next chapter!

 

“It's about time you showed up.” A voice spoke from behind her. She turned around to come face to face with her former students.

 

“What are you doing here?” She questioned. “What you are doing is trespassing.”

 

“And what do you call what your doing?” Katsu spat, while moving from the door way, to take a seat in one of the desks.

 

Author's Notes: Oooh Aaah! That's it folks! See you next time!
