Time As Always Time Chapter 11

The two girls watch as the screen came on

Saria's mom had her back to the camera and walked toward the bed was, where Taichi was waiting.

Mina reached out immediately and pressed the stop button on the tv. "Mina!" Saria cried, Mina guarded the tv, and took the tape out from the VCR. "Look I know you are trying to prove something but don't watch it." She begged.

"Are you kidding me… it will prove that they only think about sex." She whispered angry.

Mina took the tape and held it up. "I'm not going to let you screw up your family life girl. You're my best friend and I hate to watch you act out like this." She replied firmly.

"It won't screw up my family life…" Saria trailed off angry, and tried to grab the tape from her hand "Listen Saria just listen to me please." Mina begged her. "I'm listening." Saria was crossed she tapped her foot patiently.

"No matter what they did in the past…your parents never thought you as a mistake. They don't mean to make it sound like you were a mistake. You weren't by the way they care for you they love you very much as well as your sisters and brother." Saria looked at her friend tearfully.

"And what are you saying that they don't care for the sex? They do! You don't know my parents." She shouted through her tears. "Saria come on, if it was for the sex do you think they would have had this big family? Your father could have left your mother to raise you on her own but he didn't because he truly loves her…. and he loves you. They both do very much I can see that."

"I…" for the first time she couldn't say anything back at her friend, Saria looked to the ground. "And your mother wouldn't have risked her life to save you from that monster years ago."

Saria's features softened she could still hear the gunshots being fired as if it happen yesterday "Your right you know." The teen replied. "They would protect you and your siblings if the slightest danger came along." Mina told her truthfully.

"Oh brother." Hikari replied troublesomely at Taichi she looked at his leg that was in a cast. "It's wonderful isn't it?" he asked. Takeru observed for a moment Taichi just looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "No don't get into the wise talk." Taichi told him. "Who said anything about me talking to you?" he asked. "My god can't you not fight…please." Mimi began Sora looked at her friend. "So may I ask why you three were together?"

Sora's question caught the three off guard. "Sora, Mimi was visiting and we decided to go out and eat." Hikari explained to her Sora raised her eyebrow at them then nodded "Okay, but I get the distinct feeling that you're hiding something."

Takeru smiled at Taichi then Sora "We are hiding something, the baby shower." He replied he looked at Hikari and Mimi the two smiled. "Yah and you see we where going to have it after the baby but we decided to have it earlier." Mimi patted Sora on her back.

"Oh okay…. that's great to hear." Sora said smiling. "Ya how come we are always the last too know about these last minute plan changes." Taichi replied he gave his niece a sip of water from cup that was on his tray. "Thank you uncle Taichi." She took the cup from him and walked over to a chair and sat down.

"Oh no, the kids." Sora cried she looked at Taichi worried. Hikari as soon as Sora mentioned that remembered her talk with Saria last night. "Sora I'm sure they're okay by themselves home." Takeru said. "Saria is babysitting them so you don't have to worry." She nodded agreeing with him. "Yah your right." Sora smiled. "Um…. and there's another thing." Takeru began he looked at Hikari knowingly. "Yah." Hikari looked at her brother then Sora who in return where confused a bit.

"What do we need to know?" Taichi asked making himself comfortable on the bed. "Well remember you begged me to talk to Saria?" Hikari asked. Mimi sat down and watched the conversation, Taichi earlier on had given Hope the headphones and she was playing quietly in the corner of the hospital room.

"Ya I remember." Sora replied. "Well I talked to her and she seems to have put the idea that you guys think that she was a mistake and that you don't love her." Hikari said she watched the two young parents, who face's showed great remorse. Taichi just leaned back and hit his head on headboard of the hospital bed and closed his eyes.

"Are you sure she said that?" Sora asked she was devasted, that her own daughter would think that. "Yah she did. You throw that fact in her face all the time of course she's going to think that." Hikari began. "She knows what we mean." Taichi said to her. "No she doesn't Taichi, she said to me that you don't love her and that you think that she was a mistake."

Sora felt tears coming "My god…where horrible parents." She began at this point Mimi got up and comforted Sora. "Honey no your not horrible parents." She gave sora a hug. "What do you mean…my own daughter thinks that we don't care about her." Sora cried as she hugged her friend. "Hikari, thanks for talking to her." Taichi said to his sister. "It was no problem but you guys got to come to a way to tell her that you do love her, you always have and always will and that you would never think that she was a mistake."

There was a knock at the door Sora and Mimi looked to see Yamato standing out side Taichi sighed then turned he glaze else where in the room. Mimi motioned him to come in. "Taichi how are you." He replied looking at Taichi's leg which was suspended "Dandy actually I couldn't feel more better." Taichi replied sarcastically. "What's your problem?" he asked. "Yah you think you can not argue?" Takeru questioned he got glares. "Okay Hope come with daddy, do you want some ice cream?" he asked as he lifted his daughter up. "Ya!" she cried Takeru left the room to go to the cafeteria.

"Don't tell me your still mad at me for that Tokyo thing." Yamato began. "Mad isn't the word." Taichi replied. "I don't believe how can you be so immature about this." Sora grew angry. "THAT ENOUGH! Yamato leave." Sora pointed to the door he looked at her like she was crazy. "It's always been like this you always take his side!" he began as he went to the door, Mimi went with him and exited.

"Okay." Hikari went to her brother but stopped and though other wise as Sora started to console him. "I'll leave you two alone." Hikari left the room.

Outside the hospital room…

"Yama please." Mimi said to him "Please for what he's an idiot and it's disgusting how she always takes his side I mean digital world it was the same thing…how long ago was that years but yet they're married and she still dose. It's an conspiracy against me or something." He began "Really Yamato." Hikari nagged at him.

"Hikari, you can't tell me that she doesn't all agree with him." Hikari remain silent. "See there you go. You can't say cause there hasn't been once where she hasn't agreed with him."

"There is something else bothering you isn't there." Mimi replied she looked into his eyes his eyes were like the open way to his soul, she knew when he was upset or when he was lying about something or wasn't saying anything that he should be telling them. Yamato broke their glaze and looked at the ground. "Everything is fine Mimi." He turned around and took a seat on the bench that was provided out in the hall.

"You sure honey you've been acting strange lately, those dreams still haunting you?" she questioned Hikari frowned "What dreams?" she ask concern. "Nothing Hikari, there is nothing." Yamato told her.

"Yama I know you wanted this to be quiet just between me an you but if it's getting worse then you should go see someone for help and tell your family about it." She began she rest her hands on his shoulders trying to calm him down, that's when he jumped up looking at her

"NO, it's about TAICHI OKAY, TAICHI AND SORA ARE IDIOTS." He shouted at her he turned around to face Mimi who didn't seem convinced. "Yamato, you're my brother in law I care for you." Hikari took him by his arm and lead him out to the terrace, Mimi watched and smiled at Hikari when she winked at in a gesture that meant she'd talk to him.

Mimi turned and went back into Taichi's room. "I'm sorry you guys." Mimi replied Sora hushed her "No it's okay." Sora told her with a smile. "Yamato's not himself lately and I apologize for that scene just a few minutes ago." She watched the two then they nodded

"It's really okay. Yamato is strange some times." Taichi replied. "Taichi…" Sora began. "But it's true he has these constant mood swings." "Okay Taichi!" Sora shouted at him. "Sorry Mimi." He replied she closed her eyes should she or should she not tell them about her husband's problem. "Mimi?" Sora questioned 'No not yet' she though.

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

Saria and Mina arrived at the hospital they walked to her father's room they saw Mimi in there with them. "Here it goes the moment of truth." Mina told her Saria stared into the room where he father was they hadn't noticed that she was out side the room yet she really didn't make herself that visible.

"We talked about this Saria your parents love you unconditionally it's obvious, your mom and dad would protect you. It shows how much they love you." She told her Saria nodded know it was true they walked to the door when her aunt came out of the room, the door closed. "Oh Saria, honey how are you?" she asked Saria hugged her aunt with out saying a word Mina watched with a smile.

"I'm so sorry Aunt Mimi I'm so sorry." She whispered she looked at her parents through the glass window they didn't look they were engrossed in a talk. "What are you so sorry about?" she questioned as she pulled her niece away from the hug. "For being a snitchy brat." She whispered. Mimi smiled at her "I'm not the one you should be saying sorry too." She looked into the hospital room "I think you parents will be able to forgive you." Saria nodded she was about to enter the room she turned to her best friend "Arigato Mina-Chan."

And then she proceeded to open the door to the hospital room Sora turned and then Taichi saw her. "Saria." The two replied quietly. "Mama, Dad." She began but not before tears began to fall down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry!" she cried she hugged both of them. "I'm so sorry." She cried. Sora and Taichi both had tears in there eyes.

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

Out side the hospital room Mimi looked in she herself began to cry not because she was sad but because she was happy. "Meems what's happening?" Takeru questioned her he was holding his daughter they both peered into the room. "Saria is saying sorry." She replied she wiped he tears away from her eyes.

"Hi Hope." Mimi smiled at her other niece she held her hands out and the two old went to her. "Where's my mommy?" the little girl asked. "Oh she had to talk to uncle Yamato." Hope looked at her "Oh can we go find her?" she asked, "Okay why not." Takeru confused stopped Mimi. "Why?" he asked "Yamato's not feeling good she went to talk to him about it. But don't' worry it's nothing physically it's more emotionally." She commented before walking of with Hope in search of Hikari.

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

"All right now what ever is bothering I'm sure you'd like to explain it to me." Hikari replied Yamato didn't give her a second look. "I told you the cause already." He replied timidly. "You gave me a non applicable cause, Sora choosing Taichi's side never bothered you that much." She began.

"Hikari look I appreciate that you want to help but you can't." he said more calmly then before "There we made some thee way there you admitted that it's not about Taichi." She said to him. "I told you before Hikari and I'll tell you again it can' be solved no one can cure it." He told her.

"Cure what? Yamato I want to help and I'm sure Mimi will tell your brother and you and I both know that your brother worries about you a lot. Especially after the crap with Brittany." Yamato cringed at the mere mention of her he took in a deep breath of air then look out over the city. "Don't' mention her again." He whispered.

"Who Brittany?" she asked. "Yes and don't mention the name again." He replied, "I thought you got over this?" she asked "I did, that was when she was alive it didn't bother me then." He told her.

"So what's gotten you all tied up in knots?" she wondered Yamato took this time to face his sister in law "I….no….We didn't tell any of you this including my brother but I've been taking sleeping pills to help me sleep and to help me get these dreams out of my head. Dreams that are horrible." He replied Hikari watched him with concern "Yamato…. what's in the dreams?" she asked.

"Her…her it's all her and she's haunting them…she's calling me the cause of what she turned out to be." He replied "Yamato you know your not the cause of what she did and what happened to her."

"I tell myself that Hikari, I do I tell my self every morning every day…the only time I don't think about it is when I'm working or when I play with my children." He said quietly he looked out over the town "Part of me wishes that I should done something. But I didn't cause I didn't care enough to not care for her wishes I never wanted her to kill herself cause she couldn't get over loving me. And she wouldn't have done so if I hadn't have lead her on in High School." Hikari joined him at the railing watching over the entire town.

"Those are all regrets, you can't go back to change the past no matter how much you want too." Hikari turned to look at him for a moment "Things happen for a reason look for example you and Mimi you guys were broken up for a while a whole month back in high school and then you got back together again now look at where you are married with two children whom you both love very much. It was a like a story told on paper that happened. It was destined to be what it is."

Yamato looked at her "So it was destiny that she fell in love with me and killed her self just a few weeks ago?" he wondered. "Yeah part of it." She said nodding

"Seems a little crummy if it was." He then looked back out over the town. "What I'm basically trying to get you to understand is that it wasn't your fault it can't be your fault when you didn't really love her you never really truly did so you can't fault yourself."

Yamato turn to her angrily "HIKARI YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! NO ONE WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING THROUGH MY MIND! NOT YOU NOR MIMI, YOU BOTH KEEP TELLING ME THAT IT'S NOT MY FAULT. WHEN FRANKLY THE WHOLE THING IS MY FAULT I CAN'T JUST LET IT GO, I KILLED HER! I'M THE ONE WHO SCREWED HER LIFE SO BADLY! HOW CAN YOU NOT TELL ME IT'S MY FAULT? I SHOT HER, I….I PRETENED TO BE IN LOVE WITH HER BECAUSE ALL I WANTED WAS SEX. SHE'S THE REASON WHY MY WIFE NEARLY GOT KILLED THAT'S MY FAULT TOO. HER INVOLEMENT IN MY LIFE IS MY FAULT. IT ALL WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF I JUST HAVEN'T HAD THOSE DRINKS, IN HER BEDROOM I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY CONIOUS………" Yamato stopped he just slumped to the ground holding his head in his hands tears rolling down his cheeks the cold are made them freeze a bit. Hikari got down beside him. "shhh….just let it all out." She hugged him letting him cry out all the emotions all the feelings he had with held with in himself for ages.

Takeru on the other side of the door way heard the entire out pour to Hikari he just put his hand to his forehead and leaned against the wall. "Yamato…" he whispered.

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

"I'm sorry for everything I'm sorry that I yelled at you dad, I'm sorry that I treated you badly both of you." She looked at both of her parents. "Thank god sweetie I didn't want you to have to go through something life threatening so you had to forgive us." Taichi replied he hugged his daughter thanking the heavens that she wasn't an excat replica of himself.

Saria was confused what was he talking about. "Huh?" she questioned looking at him Sora remained silent through out she began to speak "Honey remember when we told you about that accident daddy had long time ago that he almost died?" Saria thought for a moment then nodded "Yeah…but I don't understand what that has to do with now?"

Taichi sighed "Before that I was horrible toward my parents….I didn't respect them. And I didn't realize that they do love me until after that happened. I was afraid that something major might have to happen to you for you to realize that… but thank god you didn't your a lot smarter then I was when I was your age." He told her.

Saria laughed, "I know I was." Sora wiped her tears a way and laughed a bit. "Mina helped me see that you care for me and love me unconditionally."

"That's what we've been trying to tell you honey we always have and always have. You are special to us you are our first born child." Sora told her Taichi nodded "And when I threaten Davis, I was just doing that because I knew he will be taking our little girl away from us." He admitted

"No he wouldn't dad, it doesn't mean that if I love him that he'll take me away from you." She looked from her father then to her mother. Saria then remembered why she was here to see if her dad was all right after her grandma told her she and Mina had left the younger children at home with there grandma and rode bikes in the cold to get to the hospital.

"Are you okay Grandma told me what happened." She replied she looked at his leg in the sling. "Ah nothing I couldn't handle…wait did you leave you siblings alone at home?" he asked worried "No Grandma's with them." She answered. "How about you girls go home I think Mom would like some sleep wouldn't she?" Taichi looked at her as he finished his question.

"I will but I'm going to come back with the children after." Sora said to him he rolled his eyes. "I said that you need sleep, you were up practically the whole night." Sora frowned I'm just going to sleep for a bit but I'm still coming tonight got it Yagami." Taichi smiled "Got it." She answered back.

"Okay bye dad see you tonight." She hugged him and Sora gave him peak on the lips.

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

Mimi came back with Hope they saw the two girls exiting the room Saria was happy again she smiled and walked toward them "Look who it is." Hope smiled she let go of her aunts hand and ran toward Saria "Saria! Saria!" she cried Saria knelt down arms open to her little cousin who had given her a huge hug.

"Takeru came back?" Sora questioned, "He gave me Hope and I think he went to look for Hikari and Yamato." Mimi said she looked over at the Terrance and saw him hand on his forehead. "Oh dear." She whispered she watched him concerned Sora frowned then turned around to see what she was looking at. "He looks upset." Sora commented

"Yamato and Hikari are talking out on the balcony maybe…hmm" Mimi began to walk toward Takeru Sora turned to where the two girls were talking "Saria honey I'm going to be a few minutes long could you watch Hope for a while?" she nodded "Great I'll come back." Sora followed Mimi to where Takeru was.

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

Yamato got up on his own and held onto the rail he stopped crying Hikari didn't know what to say to him. "Yama, maybe Mimi should know about this." She told him he sniffed wiped the tears away. "She'll worry I don't want her to worry, she knows enough as is." He whispered quietly.

"She's your wife she would want to know, can you remember the vows? Best through worst." She watched him Yamato gave her a shrug "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked "Nothing alright. Just leave me alone." He growled.

"No Yamato." Yamato and Hikari turned to see Takeru standing at the door Mimi as well.

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

"Thanks Mrs. Yagami for letting me stay over." Mina said to Sora she smiled at the two. "No problem, say what's your favourite thing Mina?" Sora questioned Saria raised an eyebrow at her mother. "Um photography, I also like drawing. Why?" she questioned curiously. "I was just wondering, I'll let you both go upstairs." Sora walked to the kitchen. Soon after three sets of feet came running down the stairs. "Mommy!, Mommy!!" the twins screamed Sora turned and knelt down so she could hug them.

"Mom where's dad?" Li questioned. "That's a good question honey…and that's what I want to tell you three about. So come and sit with me on the sofa." She ushered them to the living room they sat down on the same sofa. "Well last night daddy has a little accident, he fell down the stairs and he hurt himself badly so then he needed to hospital.

"How did he hurt himself?" Li questioned worried "He broke his ankle." Sora replied Reena and Maiko started to cry "Oh here, here…." Sora hugged them "Mommy could we make him a card?"

"You know what how about you two go get your craft box and a big piece of paper then we can make daddy a really nice card He'll really love it." Sora suggested the two girls suddenly stopped crying and eagerly ran up the stairs.

Li gave his mom a hug. "He's okay then right?" he questioned "He is…I told him that I was going to bring you to his hospital room tonight he said alright cause he really misses you guys you know your father." She ruffled her son's really big orangey brown hair.

"You shouldn't worry about your father, he's going to fine…he's been through other ordeals as well." Li raised his eye brows at her "What do you mean?" he asked "We will tell you eventually." She patted his shoulders. "Okay." He replied.

Soon after the girls came down stairs with the craft box…

Upstairs….

"Now what do you suggest we do with the tape give it back to your mother and tell her that you were going to watch it and apologize?" Mina asked Saria took the tape and looked at it. "I'll tell her, I've been horrible to them…. more yet I have to apologize to Davis." She whispered she held on to the tape.

"Last time we talked he said that what I was saying was baloney he's right. He himself was born into a similar situation. But it doesn't mean that they don't love us cause they do." She told her Mina smiled.

"I'm glad that you convinced me not to watch this, I already knew what was probably on it. I don't needed to see it, I can't stand so much as seeing them kiss then doing something other then just kissing. And it's there business not mine, my parents love each other a lot I can see that." She whispered she looked up at her best friend "Can you give me a minute I'm going to go give this back to my mother." Mina nodded and Saria left.

Downstairs…

The three kids worked on there big card they were going to present to there dad later in the evening Sora was taking a nap on the couch.

Saria came into the kitchen and saw them working on a card "Saria you want to draw something for daddy?" Reena asked her. "I'm drawing a soccer ball so you can't do that." Li announced to her. "I'm drawing a flower." Miako replied. "I'm drawing all of us mommy, me, Maiko, Li, you and daddy. Li said that I have to put a cast on his foot." She told her Saria nodded and looked at her drawing so far. "That's good but before you draw the cast, draw it on this foot." She pointed to his left foot on the picture.

Saria grabbed a red marker then took a free spot on the page, and began to draw a large heart and wrote a few words down. Then signed it Saria Yagami.

"Where's mom?" she asked them. "She's taking a nap." Li responded as he continued to work on his soccer ball drawing for his dad. "Okay." Saria got up took the tape with her into the living room. She didn't want to wake her mom but this was important.

Saria tapped her on her shoulder Sora quickly got up. "What is it honey something wrong?" she asked quickly. "Um…kind of." Sora looked worried "The hospital phoned didn't they…something happened to your father?" she asked.

"No, dad's fine….I did something wrong." She replied "Oh you did? Like what?" Sora asked as she stood up. "I took something that I wasn't supposed to." She looked down to the ground. "What was it? Saria did you steal something?" Sora asked.

She shook her head "No nothing like that, I took something that belong to you and dad." She took a deep breath in "But when I show you it. I didn't watch it, I saw a tiny bit but nothing else I swear." Sora looked at her confused. "Watch it?" she questioned.

"Yeah, this." Saria held the tape out to her. Sora looked at the tape eyes wide and took it quickly from her. "Saria!" Sora looked at the tapes label. "I'm sorry for taking it…I never watched it. I planed to...b…but I didn't because it had nothing to do with me it's your and dad personal time. I'm so sorry." Saria looked down at the ground. "I understand if you want to ground me for it."

Sora sighed she put the tape high up on a shelf. "You have an idea what's on it don't you?" she questioned, "Yes, I couldn't much less stand it hearing it then actually watching it…. I can't stand it when you guys kiss either. I know it's your own personal time and god knows why you wanted to tape it…."

Sora quieted her "Honey it's all right, but what possessed you to take one of them?"

"I was convinced that you cared more about making love then you did about us." She replied feeling bad. "Saria…that's none sense and you know it we all love you. There wouldn't be a thing in the world to stop us from loving you all." Saria gave her mom a hug.

"Mom I love you and Dad so much" she whispered. "I know…. honey."

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

"I have to tell you nothing." He crossed his arms over his chest he narrowed his eyes at his brother. "You always keep stuff in Yamato, why can't you tell us? Were your family." He cried.

"Takeru doesn't mean it that way Yama." Mimi began but Takeru interrupted her "No, I do mean it that way. Mimi he keeps his feelings in why too much!" he answered. "That's not it." He replied.

"Okay I know there is tension in the air but we shouldn't do this here and now…. this is a hospital." Hikari replied she looked between the two brothers. "All I want is an answer, you know how worried I've been, and I've heard what you said to Hikari." Takeru told him.

"What HUH?" he asked he felt his fist balling, Hikari came to stand beside Mimi the two girls didn't know what to do they didn't want to leave them out here if something happened and they got mad they could accidentally fall from this balcony.

"How can you just stand there and accuse yourself of Brittany's death because, you did all those things in the past?" Takeru questioned. "You don't understand!" he yelled, "I did it! I fucked up her life, she fell in love with me and I didn't love her. It's my fault that she went crazy again and that she was in the asylum that she nearly got within six feet of my wife four long years ago and nearly killed her…" Mimi looked at him startled

"No it's not, none of it is your fault it's it never was your fault." Mimi burst out. Yamato looked as if he was going to cry but he was just so frustrated. "My dreams are the same on over and over again…. accusing me that I killed her, that it's my fault…" Takeru stopped watched him silently. "Yama." Mimi held her out her arms to him

"No Mimi I don't deserve it." Mimi frowned at him confused "Of course you do I love you you're my husband it doesn't matter to me what happened in the pasted." Mimi watched him feeling tears coming, but she held them in.

Hikari took Takeru's arm and showed him to the door she and Takeru left them alone.

"Hikari, we weren't finished." He complained "I think your brother just needs his wife, I know you love him and want to help him but I just really think that Mimi is the best medicine for him right now."

Terrance….

"I love you…I never blamed you for Brittany. Never." She whispered "She was her own worst enemy…. she was crazy before she met you." Mimi came up to him she gently glided the back of her hand along his right cheek. "I love you." she whispered, "You just remember that I love you."

"I know you do…I know." Yamato kissed her he ran his hands through her hair.

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

Taichi's room….

He looked at the card his children gave him. "Guys its beautiful." He replied he looked at the pictures and saw Saria's heart drawing. 'I'm sorry dad you're the best dad in the world love Saria.' "Sweet heart that nice of you." He said to his first daughter she smiled. "Your welcome."

"Very nice drawing Miako, all of them are great." He answered "We are glad that your okay dad." Li told him. "Ah don't worry I'm a tough guy." He replied and flexed his arm Sora laughed. "That's great honey." Sora patted him on his shoulder and kissed his forehead.

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

Hikari and Takeru sighed they took a seat out side Taichi's room Hope was seated on her mother's lap "We should have him involved with the surprise anniversary party it will help him." Hikari suggested, he nodded wearily "Okay, you got a good point." He told her.

"Everything will be better from now on." Hikari told him with honestly "I sure he realizes that he can't blame himself for Brittany's misfortunes."

To Be Continued…
