Time as Always Time Chapter 23

      “You are looking better by the minute Mrs. Ishida,” the nurse commented as she checked Hikari’s vitals.   “I don’t feel better.”   “It will take you time to regain your strengthen after losing so much blood,” the nurse said as she jotted down noted on her chart, “Okay all done.”   “Can you call my husband back in?” Hikari asked. The nurse nodded and exited the room.   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*   Kevin was there with Anna who wanted to see her daughter, “I’ll let you go in first Mom,” Takeru replied.   “That’s nice of you Takeru, thanks.” Anna said she looking at the door of her daughters hospital room   A nurse came out of the door and walked to ward Takeru, “Your wife wishes to see you.”   Takeru nodded, “Thanks, I think her mother would like to see her first thought. Go a head I think she will be surprised and happy to she you.”   Kevin wheeled Anna into the hospital room; “Mom” Hikari said she began to cry.   Anna brushed away her tears gently from her cheeks, “It’s okay honey your father explained what happened at that the baby was fine.”   Hikari held her mothers hand, “I was so scared…” she began but her mother stopped her from going on.   “Everything will be okay,” Anna said to her. “Have you picked a name for him?” she asked.   Hikari looked passed her mom and looked at Takeru, “No, we haven’t thought about it yet.”   “How about we name him, Yuki?” Takeru said looking at Hikari, “Yuki David Ishida, after my father.”   Hikari nodded, “That is a nice name.”   Anna smiled, “Good, Takeru I think it is very perfect.” She gave Hikari a hug “I’m glad you are okay sweet heart.”   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~     < b>Buru…

  “Okay I got a can opener and some cans of food how about you guys?” Kevin said looking back at the three.   “I got about five cans or so,” Mina said looking in the bag she had.   “I got about five too,” Davis said.     Saria peeked out of Kevin’s tent looked around both corners and returned back in, “Great now we get ready and head out.”  She looked to everyone, “First aid handy?” she questioned.   The three nodded, “ I’ve got it in my pack,” Mina said.   “What will happen when the teachers find out we aren't here anymore? We will be suspended for sure.” Davis said worried.   “Then we will have to think of away out then.” Saria replied, “but now is not the time to go through this.”   “She is right if we are going to get a move on before night fall then we got to go now.” Kevin said agreeing with Saria. He put on his backpack and stood up.   “Mina are you ready? Davisyou too?” Kevin asked them.   The two of them nodded, “ Ready and willing let’s go.” Davis said. One by one the four teens exited the tent and they looked around and made there way into the jungle brush.     ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*   Sora looked at the two men eyeing them suspiciously, “What exactly did you tell him about the time in a coma?” Taichi smiled, “Nothing sweetheart, you don’t have to worry because we didn’t say anything to upset him right Yamato?” Taichi asked looking to his long time buddy.   “Right, Sora you have nothing to worry about. So be happy that Hikari is awake and talking.” He said walking toward the doors of the hospital room.   Sora frowned at Yamato as he walked by then looked to Taichi, “ So it’s all fine then I assume.”   “Absolutely, Nothing to worry about Sora I mean we kept our mouths shut we know he was upset.” Taichi told her. His eyes widened suddenly, “Sora! Court, we had to go to court remember? They want me to testify against that crazy woman.”   “Taichi that’s not until next week so you have nothing to worry about.”  Sora said she took his hand and dragged him over to where Yamato was standing, “Let’s go see your sister and then go home and put the kids to sleep.”   The three of them walked into the hospital room and walked over to where Hikari was, “Hikari how are you?” Sora asked her softly.   She nodded at them, “I’m alright, just weak but I’m fine for now.” She replied, “That’s good, me and Taichi are going to go home and put the kids to sleep. The nanny must be tired now.”   “The kids…oh my, my mom must be tired too.” Mimi said getting up, “We should go too.” She said motioning to Yamato as well.   “Mimi could you take Hope home with you two? I would ask Sora and Taichi but they don’t need an extra child along.” Hikari said.   “Of course I can.” Mimi replied, “You have a good night and Takeru don’t worry about going back home you can stay here with your wife and new baby.”   Takeru smiled at her, “Thanks.”   “We will get going back home as well,” Kevin, said, “I’ll come and see you tomorrow sweetheart.” He bent down and kissed his daughter on the cheek.   “You rest well, I’ll be coming by tomorrow as well.” Anna told her and gave her a small hug and kiss on the cheek.   “Okay mom and dad.” Hikari replied she looked at Taichi, Sora, Mimi and Yamato and smiled at them, “Goodnight guys, and thanks Mimi and Yamato.”   “It’s no problem at all we have to practice with three any ways.” Mimi said smiling.     ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~   Ishida’s (Mimi and Yamato)….   “Where are mommy and daddy?” Hope asked as Mimi was changing her into her pajamas.   “Well, mommy and daddy are at the hospital sweetheart with you new baby brother.” Mimi said as she had done up the buttons on Hope’s top. “You can stay in Lillie’s room for tonight and maybe we can go see Mommy in the morning.”   “Okay Mimi.” The girl replied. Mimi lifted Hope up in her arms and placed her in a crib that was there for times when Hikari need Mimi to take care of hope over night, she let the her have a bottle of milk then she lay in the bed and closed her eyes. Mimi crept out of the room slowly and closed the door only leaving an inch opened.   The night light shone in the hall way and Mimi entered the master bedroom where Yamato was already in bed. She slowly undressed and climbed in bed careful not to wake him.   “I’m still up,” he said in a whisper.   “I thought you were sleeping what is wrong?” she asked softly.   “If I hold you I won’t have nightmares,” he replied smiling at her “helps me sleep better.”   Mimi smiled at him and they snuggled up and slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep.   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~   YagamiMansion(Anna and Kevin)   “Welcome home,” Kevin said as he rolled the wheel chair into the house hallway where there they were greeted by the maids.   “Your Son and Daughter in-law already picked the kids up a couple minutes ago. And welcome back Mrs. Yagami.” She said, “Is there anything I can do for you?” the maid asked.   “Nothing you are dismissed thanks Aiko.” Kevin said to her she smiled and left them. “Now I’ll help you out and we can go upstairs to bed.”     Yagami house (Sora and Taichi)   “Kids are down,” Taichi said as he walked into the bedroom Sora was already in bed and had the blankets pulled up tightly, “Hey, something wrong?” he asked as he began to strip down to his boxers and slipped into bed.   Sora turned to face Taichi, “I feel so bad for Hikari…I remember how I felt when I had Saria so early...” she replied.   “And Saria survived didn’t she?” Taichi asked her. “She survived because all those doctors in there are excellent and also because we loved her and kept her strong.”   Sora smiled at him, “You are right.”   “I know I’m right.” He said laughing a little.   Sora smacked him in the shoulder, “You wish, Taichi.” She giggled a bit.   “I got you to smile Mrs. Yagami. Now let’s go to bed, I’m kind of tired from the events of today.” Taichi said quietly and closed the nightlight on his dresser.   “So am I, goodnight Taichi I love you.” She said as she closed her light off as well.   “I love you too.” Sora echoed back.   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Next Day in Buru…

  “Okay students I would like a report done on the soil contents of a tropical area. Now I would like you all to gather in groups of two same as the previous day and pick a 10 cm by 10 cm patch of dirt and do a report.” The teacher looked around the class in the cabin. “Now, one person from each group will come up here and pick a camera, notebook and pencils. Drawn sketches are required of any life form you may find and a real picture. Before you all go we will do an attendance, I’ll pass around a sheet of paper write your name down please.”   “Okay,” the students replied. As the sheet of paper went around it slowly mad its way back to the teacher who compared it with a computer print out of the class who is all hear.   “All right, anyone seen Yagami, Motomiya, Haskai and Ariwara?” the teacher asked the students who in returned shook there heads and said no.   “Mr. Erizawa, I saw them last night but since then, I haven’t seen them. They had been really secretive about something.” One student pointed out.   “Thanks, I want you to start you assignments. You got two hours to do your information gathering.” Mr. Erizawa replied he then walked out of the cabin and looked about the tents for the missing children.   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~   “At this time you want to bet that Mr. Erizawa is looking for us and knows we are missing?” Mina asked as she hugged herself as the continued there long walk to the place marked x on the treasure map.   Saria looked ahead wearily but couldn’t make anything out because of the dense foliage, “Hmm, I can’t see anything with the foliage in the way!” Saria said with a growl.   “Maybe it’s best we head back, before the teachers realize we are missing.” Davis replied looking back everyone and a while hoping to god that a teacher would reach them before they get into big trouble.   “Your just a searched because of the night noises in the jungle, there is no way a leopard can be on an isolated island with no food.” Kevin said.   “No food? What about us!” Davis said a little upset.   “Come on let’s not fight, we still have a lonnnn—ahhh!!” Saria hand fallen into a pit very close to sharpened wooden spears that stuck out.   “SARIA!” Davis said he ran over to the edge and peered down, as did Mina and Kevin. “Are you okay?” he asked.   “I hurt my arm,” she said wincing from the pain.   “Okay hold on I’ll get you out of there,” Davis said he unloaded his backpack and looked through for some rope. He pulled out a rope and handed a end to Kevin, “Hold on to it or tie it some were so I can pull her up. Okay?”   “Okay, I’ll tie it to this tree truck,” Kevin said as he grabbed the other end of the rope Davis was handing out to him. He pulled the rope around the tree then ties it tightly, “Okay Davis it’s good.”   “Saria, Davis will get you out,” Mina said as she hollered down to Saria who was still lying still not having moved an inch.   Davis got ready and he slowly ascended into the hole, Saria had fallen in. When he reached the bottom with what little space there was he knelt down to her, “did you break your arm?” he asked looking at her arm then he gasped, “Your bleeding!” he cried.   “I think something stabbed me in the arm,” she replied she tried to lift her arm but found she couldn’t move. She looked over to it there was a wide gash on her arm from the wooden stakes that stuck up from the ground. “Davis, help me!” she cried looking up to him frightfully.   “Don’t worry,” he took his blue button up shirt off and ripped it in half then tied it around her wound. “Can you get up?” he asked.   Saria nodded, “ I think I can.” Davis helped her up.   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Next day Thursday, March 18 2024… "Don't I swear, Brittany!" Mimi cried… Brittanyhad her gun pointed directly at him when he did come though he stopped. "Yamato, don't she's going to shoot." Hikari called to him…. "I'm not letting anyone get hurt." Yamato replied… Yamato and Brittany struggled for control over the gun… *BANG* Blood oozed on Yamato hands, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean it…I didn’t want anyone to get hurt!” he said shouting up to the heavens. He wiped the blood off but it kept oozing out from his hands.

 

“IT’S NOT MY FAULT!” Yamato said yelling to the top of his lungs he sat upright. Mimi had awoken and looked at him with worry. He was soaked with sweat.

“Yama, are you okay?” Mimi asked putting a hand on his shoulder.

“I’m okay, just a nightmare…the same one…that I’ve been having for the past fifteen years.” He whispered.

Mimi pulled him to her and hugged him, “I know all the about it, it will be all right.” She whispered.

“I hope I didn’t wake the children,” Yamato said he broke free of the hug and looked to the bedroom door then looked to the clock, “Three in the morning, I’m sorry Mimi for waking you.”

“Don’t apologize, it’s okay to have nightmare about what happened so long ago…they are not frequent as they were.” She explained.

“That doesn’t make it right to wake you from your much needed sleep after all we are going to have another baby.” Yamato said to her he then lay down again and closed his eyes. Mimi did the same.

“Try to get a some more rest, you need it after all that happened yesterday.” Mimi said softly   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yagami (Sora and Taichi’s)

“Saria is coming back next Monday,” Sora said as she answered a question from Reena who was sitting beside an empty sit that would be Saria’s.

“Oh, okay.” Reena said then returned to eat her cereal.

The telephone rang, “Hello Yagami residence, Sora speaking.”

“Girls, can you finish your food?” Taichi said as he finished his own breakfast.

“Oh, yes. I’m fine thanks how about u?…….. Uh huh……oh no…” Sora said her happy smile had faded to complete shock and anger.

Taichi and Li both looked at Sora who was still on the phone.

“Well, how come there wasn’t any watch on them?” she exclaimed. “She’s wounded? How badly?…okay very well then. When she is ready can you tell her to phone her mother… Okay thanks, buh bye. I’m sorry that she has caused trouble.”  Sora placed the phone on the hook again then turned to Taichi, “We need to have a conversation, about Saria.” Sora said sternly. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hospital…

Hikari’s hospital room door opened reliving a beautiful bouquet of flowers. “How is my girl this morning?” Takeru’s voice hovered in the air.

Hikari smiled she was now sitting up in the bed, “Much better this morning. Thank you for the flowers.” Takeru set them down on the breakfast table and gave her a kiss on the lips.

“Your very welcome, Mrs. Ishida.” He said then took her hand into his and gave her another kiss on her hand.

Soon after wards Takeru’s parents entered the room holding around bouquet of flowers, “I sweetie I heard about the ordeal, I’m so glad that your okay.” Nancy said giving Hikari a hug.

“How are you doing?” David asked standing at the end of her bed while Nancy but the vase of flowers down next to the other one.

“I’m doing better then yesterday, today I get to see him.” She said smiling at Takeru, “And we have picked out his name.”

“I’m very happy that you decided to adopt our family name Takeru,” David said patting his son on the back, “It really makes everything like a big family again.” He explained.

“Your right,” Takeru said he looked to Hikari, “And now you have your fourth grand child.” ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Buru…< /i>

The four where now in one of the main land hospitals, Saria was inside with a doctor being stitched up after her wound she had received when she had fallen into the pit.

Davis frowned, as did Mina and Kevin, “We are in big trouble.” Davis said as he thought about how his mom and dad would react when they found out about the latest stunt. “I don’t want to think about what they will say.”

“You and me both buddy,” Kevin said as he agreed with his best bud.

“I knew this was a bad idea from the begin but no one wanted to express caution and look what happened. Someone got hurt.” Mina said hiding her face in her hands. “My mom is going to kill me.”

In hospital room…

Mr. Erizawa spoke to Saria, “You know how much trouble you have gotten your friends into?” he asked as he paced the room to and forth.

“I know.” She said she new it was wrong but for whatever reason she dismissed it and called it instead. So now her father and mother are going to be quite upset at her, “But did you have to tell my parents?” Saria asked.

“They will have to know about this young lady, and for the foreseeable future you are your friend are hereby suspended from going on any school trips for the entire school semester.” Said Mr. Erizawa and by the sound of his voice he was very disappointed with the four. “You are to call you mother back as soon as you are able to.”

Saria gulped, “Okay….” So be my last day ever to set eyes on the freedom again she thought miserably. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

YagamiMa nsion…

 “You’ re kidding me?” Kevin said looking at his son and daughter in law. Mouth practically gaping open.

“No dad, not at all.” Taichi said frowning that his own daughter were even think about putting other at risk.

Anna gave a sigh, “it really isn’t much to be surprised about. Taichi after all you were exactly the same.” Anna said with her eye brows raised at her eldest son.

Taichi frowned at the commented, “You are very right mom,” Sora said looking at Taichi as well.

“Yes well I could say the same thing about you too darling,” said a voice from the doorway. They all turned to see who it was. “Surprise, I’m coming back home!” Karen said happily.

“Mom!” Sora cried she ran up to her mother and gave her a great big hug, “But I was never anything like Taichi.” She said.

“My goodness Karen how are you doing?” Kevin asked he gave her a peck on the cheek and a hug.

“I’m fine thanks. Anna I heard you were in the hospital. Are you okay?” Karen asked as she walked over to Anna giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek as well.

“It was nothing really, just Kevin being super cautions.” Anna replied smiling at her husband.

Taichi and Sora both cleared their throats at the same time to get their parents attention. “Oh sorry, we do have a situation on our hands don’t we?” Karen said smiling at them.

“Well yah, Saria doesn’t listen to caution and throws it away into the wind. Nearly getting three ours hurt.” Sora said with frustration. “And I told her not to act like her father.”

“Hey!” Taichi exclaimed. “I mean with careful consideration, it’s not all my fault.” Taichi said with a little more composure.

Sora frowned, “Well, it doesn’t matter who she took after she got in trouble with the school and we have to deal with it. So I suggest she is grounded for three months.”

“See so now you know how we feel,” Karen said motioning to Anna and Kevin and herself.

“Okay, don’t get into I told you so stuff.” Taichi said eyeing his mother in-law. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hospital… < p>“He’s so beautiful,” Nancy said looking at tiny baby Yukki in his incubator.

“He is so small, so innocent he didn’t deserve to come so early in this world,” Hikari replied feeling tears rolling down her cheeks.

Takeru placed his hand on Hikari’s shoulder, “There wasn’t anything you could do,” he said.

“He is right you shouldn’t blame yourself sweet heart.” Nancy said as she turned to face her daughter in law. “It’s something like fate, you couldn’t have predicted that this would happen.”

“I know you mean well, but I do feel a little be responsible for all of this.” Hikari said she sighed looking at her baby in the incubator.

Takeru looked at his wife, “come on we been away from your room too long, you need some rest that’s what the doctor said.” Takeru told her.

Hikari nodded, “I understand what the doctor said, I’m feeling a little tired too and now that I know my baby is okay I can finally rest easier.” Takeru wheeled Hikari out of the nursery and back toward her room.

When they arrived back to Hikari room they found the door was open when Takeru wheeled Hikari in the room they got a surprise, “HI MOMMY!” Hope ran to her mom and gave her a hug.

“Oh sweetie,” Hikari cried tears rolling down her cheeks, “You have a baby brother you know, he name is Yukki.” Hikari let go of her daughter and looked at her reaction.

“Really, yay!” Hope said she looked at Takeru, “How come he isn’t here?” she asked.

“Well, your brother was a little early. So the doctors put him in a special room where they can take care of him.” Takeru said explaining as best as he could.

“Uncle Yam brought me and Aunt Mimi.” Hope said pointing to Yamato.

“Hi Aunt Hikari, Uncle Takeru,” Lillie and Michael said in unison giving both them a hug and kiss on the cheek.

“It’s a family day today isn’t it.” Takeru said smiling he looked at Mimi and Yamato as he did.

“Yah but Taichi and Sora have problems this morning.” Yamato said trying not to laugh about it.

Mimi smacked him on the shoulder, “That’s not funny, your niece could have gotten hurt!” she declared.

“That’s not what I’m laughing at, it’s funny how she doesn’t listen like her father.” He said still giggling.

“Oh no what happened to Saria?” Hikari asked worried.

Mimi frowned at Yamato, “Well apparently she, Davis and two other friends went for a hike in the jungle to find treasure of some sort with out permission. So they basically snuck off. Saria ended up falling into a pit and pierced her arm through a spiked piece of wood. She’s okay but Sora is furious.” Mimi said with a solemn face.

“Well she is okay isn’t she? It’s just something minor. Not like she got sucked into another world.” Takeru said knowingly.
