Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Time As Always Time ❯ Time As Always Time Chapter 10 ( Chapter 10 )

Takashi home…
7:00pm…

After the kids were all settled in Li sat on the couch playing game boy advanced, the three girls were playing down stairs while Saria sat up in the guest room, Takeru and Hikari were in the kitchen.

"Sora said that she wanted to talk to her for that reason." He finished. "So that was what she was talking about….I can't believe your brother nor Mimi informed them about going to Tokyo." Hikari replied confused. "My brother is. …Weird as times." Takeru said, the two laughed.

"Okay well I'll go up and talk to her." Hikari got two glasses out from the cupboard she placed on the island in the kitchen then got out the orange juice and filled each glass up. "You need help with the juice?" he asked. "Nope got it hun but thanks for asking." Hikari went up stairs with the glasses, and then knocked on the door of the bedroom where Saria was staying, she knocked on the opened door and peeked in.

Saria took her headphones off. "Hi." She replied. "Here you are." Hikari handed her a glass of orange juice. "Thanks." Saria said politely.

"Is it okay if we talk?" Hikari questioned her, Saria looked at the ground. "Talk, what is this and interrogation time for me? All my parents want to do is talk, but we never get any where." Saria stopped noticing her aunt was serious about this. "I'm sorry." She replied.

"It's okay Saria. I know you must be mad at your mother and father…and yes your mom asked me to talk to you but, I won't give you a lecture…just my point of view from the things that are happening." Hikari began.

Saria took a sip of her orange juice. "Okay…sure." She replied.

"I grew up with your father honey and I know him…and never ever was he one to send some one to check up on some one else. And for your knowledge your aunt and uncle had no idea that you were going to be there as well."

"How do you know for sure?" Saria wondered. "Because Saria, Uncle Yamato phoned us that he was going to Tokyo with the kids and your Aunt Mimi for a trip out for the weekend they weren't going because you were there. And plus we hadn't heard from there all week until Friday night." Hikari said to her.

Saria stared at the ground….

*FLASH BACK*

She went into the stereo cabinet at home, while her aunt and mom where in the next room talking, she pulled the box out then grabbed the first tape. Hearing her mother walking toward the living room she hurried put it back and closed the cabinet doors and hid behind the couch.

She peeked from behind the couch watching her mother take the whole box into the kitchen, Saria made her move and slowly and quietly went upstairs to her bed room.

She closed the door of her bedroom her heart was racing. 'I shouldn't watch it….' She trailed off she stuck the tape into her clothing drawer that was seemly opened.

*END of FLASH BACK *

"Maybe your right…but it still doesn't explain his behaviour towards Davis, I love him Aunt Hikari I really do but dad he doesn't like him he acts like Davis committed a crime." Saria complained.

"That's my brother for you…he's over protective…I know how you feel he was like that with your uncle Takeru when we were your age." Hikari replied she smiled at her Saria smiled back. "Your mother and father mean well by telling about what happened when they were your age and they don't want you to go down that same path, they know you want to be a professional soccer player." Saria frowned. "There it goes again." Saria replied she crossed her arms across her chest.

"What did I say wrong?" Hikari questioned confused. "You all do it…. you all make it sound like I was an accident! They never loved me from the being because I was the mistake." She cried tears streaming down her face. "Saria…" Hikari began to explain. "LEAVE NOW!" she shouted she held the cup of unfinished juice to her aunt who took it, then Saria threw herself on the bed and began to cry.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Taichi walked up the stairs one of the children's toy plastic cars lay on the middle stairs, Taichi's foot missed it he walked into his and Sora's bedroom, and took off his clothing going into the shower.

Sora remained downstairs on the couch watching some television, she held on to one of Saria's stuffed animals when she was eight years old.

She heard the shower turn on, then the phone rang she slowly reached over to the cordless phone on the lamp table beside the sofa. "Hello." She replied quite tiredly and sadly. "Sora?" Mimi questioned.

"Yeah, is there something wrong Mimi?" Sora questioned still having a hold of Saria's stuffed bird. "Sora honey, I just called to see how everything was." Mimi said politely. "No offence Mimi but I don't want to talk to anyone at the moment." She told her. "Okay but…Sora? Sora…. are you there?" Mimi questioned but then she heard dial tone.

She sighed, looked over to Yamato who was reading a book. "She hang up on you?" he questioned still having his eyes glued to the pages. "How'd you guess?" Mimi eyed him wearily. "Easy…Sora took on Taichi's attitude." He replied off handily.

"Mommy!" Lillie called from her room. "Yes, Lillie!" Mimi hollered. "Can you come an read another story." She asked. "Honey…what did daddy read you?" she asked. "Um…. nothing." she replied.

Yamato frowned. "Hey, I'm still awake too." Yamato put in. "I'll read her one more." Mimi replied rolling her eyes. "Yeah hope she doesn't keep you up all night, reading books to her." He commented.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oh boy…she thinks that?" Takeru questioned her as Hikari put the glasses in the sink. "Well I can't blame her I feel sorry for talking to her about that now." Hikari ran her hands threw her hair.

"You know they keep saying that to her no wonder she would think that she feels like she is the mistake that made them spend the rest of there lives together." Hikari said to him. "Hey you know what let's put the girls to bed. Li is already upstairs." Hikari nodded agreeing with him.

"Come girls bed time." Takeru called from the top of the stairs leading into the basement. "Okay Uncle Takeru." They replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Taichi dried his hair; he threw on a clean pair of boxers and put on a bathrobe over top, he exited his and Sora's room and walked over to Saria's room and peeked in…

* FLASH BACK *

Sora slowly touched her baby's hand gently she was amazed. She looked at Taichi and motioned him to touch her hand. Taichi was shaking when he touched her small delicate hand he couldn't believe they made this together the realization hit him hard.
……………………& hellip;…

"Hold on I know, how about Saria?" Taichi asked Sora looked at him with a smile. "I like it. I mean it's different but it's good." She replied. "Then her name is Saria?" the nurse asked.

* END FLASH BACK *

Tears quickly came flooding to his eyes Taichi wiped them away. 'Come on Taichi get a grip of yourself Sora needs you to be strong.' He told himself he sniffed then began down the stairs.

Half way down the stairs Taichi stepped on the toy that lay on the stairs he screamed out in pain as his ankle went the wrong way...

Sora heard something fall down the stairs she came running in to the hallway she saw Taichi on the ground he was in obvious pain. "Taichi! My god what happened?" she asked him frantic. "I fell." He replied gritting his teeth, he sat himself up and held on to his right ankle. "Oh no maybe it broken." Sora suggested she went to move his hands away from the ankle. "No, it's not…its fine." He replied he tired to get up and stand on both feet but he quickly supported himself on the wall.

"STOP IT! Taichi, we are going to the hospital." She told him calmly. "Okay." He agreed "But I do need to get some clothes on."

"Yeah I know I'll go get them for you…just stay there and don't try to move." Sora went up stairs quickly then got Taichi's a jogging suit from the closet, Sora was already had good enough clothing on so she ran back down the stairs.

She untied his robe and helped him put on the sweater then his pants. "Okay I'll try not to touch your ankle, but it's going to have to fit through there." Sora replied as she scrunched up the pant leg of his jogging pants. Taichi put his foot through quite easily. Sora fixed his pants and shirt up.

Tuesday October 10th 2023

1:00 am Hospital…

"Well Mr. Yagami looks like you've broken you ankle." The doctor told him, Sora frowned, as did Taichi. "Great…I got to walk around with crutches then." The doctor nodded he told them to follow him. "Yes you will but the way it's fractured, we might need to operate on it." Sora eyes widened "What do you mean? Is it that' badly fractured that he needs to be operated on?"

The doctor pointed at the facture in the x-ray, of Taichi's foot. "The bone right here is fractured diagonally, if it was horizontal then the surgery wouldn't be necessary. But in order for your husband's ankle to heal probably we do need to perform this surgery to put in a pin to hold that bone in place."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In between classes 9:30am
Obadia.

"Hello, Saria? Aren't you even listening to me?" Mina asked her. "What?" she questioned as she went into her locker. "Where were you last night I phoned around eight o'clock and no one was home."

"I was over at my aunts house, like you care. Or were you asking about my father's where a bouts, because you seem to agree with him more then your own best friend." She threw at her. "Saria that's not fair." Mina replied a little angry. "Sure it is." Saria threw the books she didn't need in her locker.

"Look Mina if you can't, agree with me then we can't be friends." Saria began. "What? That's the most absurd thing you could say!" she shouted at her friend. "Really now!" Saria turn to Mina tears streaming down her face. "You don't know what's it's like to feel like you were a MISTAKE!" she shouted, and ran off, leaving her locked opened.

Mina watched her friend take off, she turned around notice everyone staring. "Nothing to see people…go to class." She waved with her hands, the people left the scene whispering and talking among each other about what had happened before there very eyes.

Davis came running over to the lockers Mina had closed Saria's locker. He stopped briefly to catch his breath. "I heard the yelling what that Saria?" he asked her still tiring to catch his breath. "Davis…you need to talk to her, I have an idea why she's been the way she's been."

"You do? Care to share?" he asked. "Yeah…" Mina walked over to him and whispered in his ear. "She thinks she was an mistake." She backed a way slightly from him. "You should talk to her. You and her both understand what's it's like." She whispered.

Davis looked down at his feet for a moment he looked up to Mina. "Thanks, I'll check up on her." Mina pointed behind him. "She ran just around the corner."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hospital…

Sora had a tired and weary face on her as she waited in the hospital waiting room for news on how the surgery had went, Taichi's doctor who was treating him came up to her dressed in hospital scrubs. "Mrs. Yagami?" he questioned she stood up and walked over to him.

"We put pins in your husbands ankle to hold the bone together so they can heal properly with out any abnormalities we well need to keep him at the hospital for about a week then he can go home." He explained to her.

"Gosh…he won't be happy about that." She whispered "Did you tell him about it?" she asked. "No, he's still under anaesthesia. You will be able to see him in about 20 minutes he's waking slowly." He explained further more. "Okay thanks doctor, what room will he be in?" she asked. "Recovery room 15 just down the hall. But only temporarily until we get a room for him." Sora nodded thanks before the doctor went off.

Sora rubbed her eyes she was tired, she jumped hearing her cell phone ring, she got it out and pressed a button bringing it to her ear. "Hello."

"Sora honey, finally. Where are you? Kevin is wondering why Taichi hasn't showed up for work yet, he's worried." Anna said to her. "Oh no….I forgot sorry Anna…I should have phoned but I wasn't thinking." She replied.

"Sora I don't understand." Anna questioned her confused. "Taichi fell down the stairs." She didn't get to finish when she heard Anna gasp "Oh my god how did that happen?" she questioned her. "I don't know, I think he stepped on something…but he's fine other that he broke his ankle and the doctors told me that he needs to get pins put in to hold the bones together they did an operation. And Taichi has to stay in the hospital for a week before he can leave." Sora sighed. "How can I watch the kids with out him?" she questioned feeling the tiredness getting to her.

"I will help you, Sora don't worry." Anna told her. "Thanks." She replied. "I'm going to go see Taichi now okay, if you guys come just ask for a Yagami, Taichi." She told her calmly. "Okay honey I'll see you later. Bye." "Bye." They both hung up and closed the phones.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sora slowly walked into Taichi's recover room she paused at his bedside noticing he was a little groggy. "Taichi you awake?" she asked, Taichi nodded he looked over at her. "They didn't need to put me to sleep for the operation." He complained.

"Taichi it was better they did." Sora explained to him she took his hand. "Are you Kidding me, I lived through much more horrible pain then a broken ankle, lets see I've been hit over the head with something blunt, I've been stabbed. What else? Yamato tried to beat me up but failed." Sora rolled her eyes. "Don't remind me of him." Sora warned. "Of who, Yamato?" he questioned confused.

"Not him…Taichi." she tailed off looking at him quietly. "Oh…right Sora I won't mention him ever I'm sorry." He whispered. "No it's okay I got over it. It was long time ago and it's been forgotten I did what was necessary." She whispered.

FLASH BACK

"You want to bet." Sora threaten she griped onto the gun tighter. "You can't cause your weak Sora….you can't kill me." He replied.

"NO!" Sora shouted at him.

Saria watched she hid next to her mother, she watched her…she knew her mother want to kill him she could tell by her eyes.

Jeff picked up the axe from the ground. "I'll just kill you first then I'll take advantage of your daughter she doesn't seem as violent at you do." He replied.

"No, you won't get the chance, I won't let you hurt my family again." She screamed at him.

Outside the cabin it was dark the only light that eliminated from cabin on the ground, Tai's car was next to the cabin building. "MOM!" Saria's voice cries out suddenly.

* BANG - BANG * two shots rang through the air.

*End of FLASH BACK *

"But it's over and nothing like him will ever happen to this family again." Sora said she hugged him. "Nothing will." He repeated her words.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Mimi honestly don't you think I know what." Hikari told her she tapped her fingers on the counter top. "Yes…. white and champaign streamers….balloons, and fold up bells…..okay wait a second." Hikari began.

"Takeru and I haven't decided where we are going to have the surprise anniversary yet." Hikari stopped listening to her friend over the phone. "No how about we go and look at halls all together." She suggested he shrugged "Why not." Takeru agreed. "Great meet us around say 3pm at our house Mimi." Hikari told her friend over the phone.

"See you then." Hikari hung up the phone. "Okay let's getting a list made up now." Takeru suggested as he looked through yellow pages.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Saria's mascara was running down her cheeks, she wiped it as away with her thumb. She was sitting outside the school it was cool outside but it wasn't that bad when you were sitting in the sun. This was her and her friend's spot; she'd come here with Davis once ever so often.

She jumped feeling someone put their hand on her shoulder. "Whoa…it's only me." Davis said he took a seat next to her. Saria didn't say anything and kept quiet fresh tears ran down her cheeks.

"Look, I know you don't want to be talked to but from what Mina told me…it sounds really serious." He began, she still had her eyes glued to the ground not looking at him her long hair covered her face well. "Saria…come on." He begged.

"Why do you think you can help?" she questioned he swallowed then began his explanation. "Because I know what it's like to be an 'Mistake' " he whispered. Saria began to cry. He watched sorrowfully as her back heaved up and down.
"Saria they don't mean it that way I'm sure of it." He told her. "You haven't the slightest idea what they think Davis!" she stopped letting out a sob "They don't care about me they care about not making another mistake like I was. They don't want me to have a mistake because they think I'm an burden." She cried.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

2:55pm…

"Oh Taichi, how could you have just fallen like that." His mother began. "It's really okay mom, I'm fine." Taichi replied. "Yah…. after trying to get out of going to the hospital." Sora put in. "Well I didn't think it was broken." He whispered.

"Now you too." Anna said to them both. "Sorry." They both answered at the same time. "I guess you'll be out of work for the following week while you're here. Taichi I'm expecting those budget numbers for tomorrow." He told him

"Well, bring a laptop to me later on today and I'll finish them here, cause I'm kind of stuck here." Taichi replied. "Right I'll send one." He agreed with him.

"Stop with the business talk, what's important is that he gets better." Anna said Kevin nodded. "And I would say that you should phone your sister about what happened."

Taichi and Sora looked at each other then to Kevin. "Right…that's a good idea dad I'll go and phone her and let her know." Sora said she left the hospital room two nurses entered the room after Sora had left.

"We are going to ask you all to leave the room so we can bring him to his room." The first nurse said to all of them. "Okay that's no problem." Kevin told them as the Taichi's parents exited the room. "Well what room are you bring me to?" he questioned. "It's just on the next floor, the recovery floor." The second nurse told him.

Sora took out her cell phone out, she was outside on the Terrance. She put it to her ear after she dialling Hikari's phone number.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hikari finished getting Hope dressed in her outdoor clothing, she opened the door so her daughter could go to the van with her father. Hikari snapped on her shoes on and hurried out the door with purse and all.

The phone rang, but unfortunately no one was home at the Takaishi home as they headed out to look at halls for the surprise anniversary.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hikari…pick up…someone…Takeru?" Sora whispered she tapped her foot patiently. When they didn't answer the closed her cell phone. "Okay…maybe Takeru's cell phone." Sora looked up Takeru's cell phone number in her phone number log on her cell phone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"No Mimi, we are following the list first not going all over the place." Takeru told her straight out. "Okay, I'm sorry." Mimi replied she watched her brother in law. "Stop it." Hikari warned. "Yah." Hope agreed.

Takeru's cell phone rang. "Some one want to get that for me?" he asked Hikari got the phone from Mimi who had handed it to her. "Hello." She answered. "Oh finally Hikari." Sora replied in relief.

"Sora?" she asked, "Yah it's me…I got bad news and good news." She began, Hikari frowned she looked at Takeru then Mimi. "Okay let's here the bad news first." She said to her. "The bad news is that your brother is in the hospital he broke his ankle."

"WHAT!" she shouted this caught everyone off guard in the van. "How is it? I mean it's not bad okay wait…I'll let you tell me the good news." Hikari replied she closed her eyes.

"Well good news is that…well he's okay--." She interrupted her. "How is that good news he broke his ankle!" she cried. "Okay it's not good news…but Taichi is fine I just thought I'd tell you okay." Hikari sighed, "Okay thanks Sora, we will come by after. Me and Takeru are busy at the moment." Sora nodded at her end of the phone "Okay see you later." Sora hung the pay phone up.

"What happened?" Mimi questioned her. "Taichi broke his ankle." She replied Takeru looked at her through the rear view mirror "How did he do that?" he questioned. "I don't know but Sora said he was fine."

"Mommy what happened to Uncle Taichi?" Hope questioned her. "Honey he's fine we are going to see him after we look at the halls." Hikari told her. "Okay." She smiled and looked through her book. "Maybe we should post pone this trip." Mimi suggested from the back seat. "No we have to figure out a hall now, we can't wait…do you know how much time we have till about two months and that isn't enough to book a hall in time for Christmas eve." Takeru told the two women.

"He's right so let's go and look at the halls then we will all go and visit Taichi in hospital." Mimi suggested. "That's more like it." Takeru agreed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yamato worked at his desk he finished the last of the paper work that was in front of him then got up from his car and put it into his out box that was on his desk. He rubbed his temples gently trying to ease his mind from the dream he had this morning. It haunted him for weeks he didn't dare tell Mimi about it either because he never wanted her to worry about him.

He remember the dream clear as day he couldn't forget about it, the sleeping pills hadn't helped him with his dreams at all. Work only blocked them momentarily, until he was not busy and wasn't thinking about any thing.

"I got to go home." He whispered he got up from his desk and closed the lights in his office then locked his door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Davis opened the front door of his home then walked in. "Oh good afternoon sweetie how was school?" Miyako questioned her son as he walked into the kitchen. "Okay I guess." He answered.

"That sounds as if something happened today what's wrong?" she asked Davis took a pop from the fridge and sat at the table. "Saria is what's wrong." He began.

"Oh dear…. she okay?" she questioned. "No not at all." He replied he took sip from the can. "She thinks that her parents think that she was a mistake and that they don't love her unconditionally." Miyako's eyes widened as she heard this. "Why dose she think that honey?"

"Because mom, her parents keep telling her not to repeat what they did and in some twisted way she put it together that they don't love her and they think that she is an mistake. I tired telling her that she was wrong mom I did but she didn't listen." Davis groaned and put his head on the table.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"GRRR…Mina shut up!" Saria shouted as they walked up to the door of her home. "No Saria how can you think that. They love you very much." She complained. "You want to see how much they love me?" she questioned Mina crinkled her brown in confusion. "What do you mean show?" she asked.

"All they care about is sex Mina. It's always been about that not how much they care about us. I was the first mishap when they screwed up in the being. The biggest mistake of their lives was me." She began Mina was about to object when the two stepped inside. "Saria…come on now you don't think they're that bad."

"Come I have to show you something in my room." Mina looked at her uncertain for a moment. "What?" Saria questioned. "What is it?" Mina asked. "Just come with me." The two walked up the stairs to Saria's room. Saria closed the door then walked to her dresser, she went into her drawer and pulled out a tape.

Mina looked at the tape. "What's that?" she questioned. "It's from the box remember the Do Not Touch box." She replied Mina's eyes widened. "You mean the tapes that you didn't want us to watch before?" she asked. "Yah. And this will probably prove all they care about is sex."

"Saria how do you know that's what is on the tape? Did you watch it already?" she asked. "No. But I have a pretty good idea that this tape will give me answers." She replied then picked up a VHS tape made to play small camcorder tapes. She placed the small tape into the compartment in the VHS tape then put it into the VCR in her room.

"Saria wait do you think it's such a good idea?" she questioned stopping her from turning it on the TV and playing the VCR. "It will be when we find out the real truth." She replied.

"Saria come on you can't honestly think that all they care about is sex." Saria sighed annoyed. "Yes I can believe that, and when we watch this…you can imagine what all those other tapes are full of."

She flipped the television on and pressed play.

To Be Continued….
