“Life and Death”
by: Ness

It was horrible. Blood everywhere. People screaming…others dying…sirens going, police radios talking away…I was among them…and so was my best friend. “Taichi-chan!” I called, screaming over all the noise. It was the worst subway crash ever. We were on our way to Odiaba to visit our friends. Then the subway train crashed into an un-constructed area and slammed into a wall. Blood slowly seeped out of my head. I was bruised up badly. I think I sprained my ankle too, so I started to limp. I was taken away from Taichi to get medical attention. But there were people in worse shape than I was so they pushed me to the side and told me I would have to wait. I wandered away from the ambulances and walked back to the subway car to search for Taichi. I walked inside. There were people moaning for help, others crawling to the door. It was horrible! I began to cry. “Taichi-chan,” I said sobbing, not able to contain my anguish for all those dying people out there.

“Sora-chan…” I heard a voice say, weakly

Blinded by my tears, I barely saw his hand come out from underneath the bench. “Taichi-chan! Are you okay?” I ask between sobs. He was under a lot of rubble. I saw the half caved in bench that was crushing him.

“Sora help me…I can barely feel my legs…” I couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of pain he was in…

“Hang on Taichi…I’ll help you” I began to furiously remove all the rubble from the bench. Then I saw his face. It was bruised and bleeding…as was my own. “Taichi!” Miraculously, I pulled him out from under the crushed bench. I sat him up. “Stay here…I’ll go get some help,” I said, standing up.

“Wait…” he said panting heavily. He caught his breath. “Sora…Sora…don’t go…” I sat back down. He held my hands. I looked at them… I saw the way they were intertwined… “I wanted to ask you something when we got to Odaiba and when we were with our friends…but…” he breathed heavily. “I don’t think…”

“Taichi…don’t talk like that…” He smiled a bit.

“I’m serious, Taichi-chan. You baka…” I said with a slight smile at the end of my statement.

“Jeez…no need for insults Sora-chan…” he said with that sly smile of his. I couldn’t help but smile at that. I could never stay mad with him long… “As I was saying, I think now would be as good as time as any to…” He paused.

“What is it Taichi?” I asked, looking up at him.

“Sora-chan…will you marry me?”

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Taichi was asking me to marry him? I looked into his eyes and knew that he was sincere. And I knew with all my heart that I loved him, and was sincere with my love. “Hai, Taichi-chan” I responded smiling. I had tears in my eyes as I watched him struggle to get the ring out of his pocket. Finally he gave up.

“I’ll give it to you later,” he said with a smile.

“Okay,” I said, smiling back at him. He leaned forward and kissed me. And as we kissed, it felt as if the world was standing still just for us. And among all the wreckage and the dying, a love began…a new life… When we parted, I gave him a smile and a huge hug. I got on my knees. “I’ll be right back. Stay here” I kissed him again. “Suki da Taichi-chan” He smiled.

“Suki da Sora-chan” I got up and went in search for help.

“Help! Help me please! Somebody please help!” I cried. Two men came running towards me.

“What is it Miss?

“My friend needs medical attention immediately…he says that he can barely feel his legs”

“Where is he?”

“In that subway car. I managed to get him out from underneath a crushed bench” He turned to the other man.

“Get a stretcher, some splints, and some more men. Hurry!”

“Hai!” The other ran away.

“Take me to him” I brought him to Taichi.

“Here he is”

The other man returned with two men and supplies. “Ready, let’s lift him…one…two…three…lift!” They put him on the stretcher.

“Taichi-chan I brought these men to help you”

“Arigato Sora-chan”

“Taichi…I will always be here…right by your side…”

“Arigato…I will always be with you…forever…” He closed his eyes.

“He’s unconscious” said the man.

“Do you think he has volimic shock?”

“Don’t know. We got to get him to a hospital right away” I was confused…All the medical talk was making my head spinny…or maybe I was going to faint? No not again… Dizzily, I followed them.

---------
Shakily, I picked up the phone. I stuck in my calling card and dialed the number.

“Hello?”

“Can I speak to Yamato please?” I said, trying not to sound like myself.

“Sure hold on please” Little Takeru…he’s not so little anymore. I sighed as I tried to remember how old he was. 20…20 years old. Jyou was the oldest-28. Koushiro-24, Yamato, Taichi, Mimi and I were 26.

“Moshi moshi? Moshi moshi? MOSHI MOSHI!” I finally realized that Yamato was on the phone.

“Hello? Yamato?”

“Sora! How are you doing? You sound so close. Are you in Odaiba?” I suddenly burst into tears.

“Oh god Yamato…”

“Sora what’s wrong?”

“There’s been an accident…”

“Oh my god! Are you guys okay?” I began to cry harder.

“Where are you guys?”

“Odaiba Mercy Hospital,” I managed to say between sobs.

“Are you hurt?”

“Not too bad…demo…”

“What is it?”

“Yamato…Taichi…Taichi’s in a coma”

“A coma?”

“Hai…” I slowly began to stop crying. “Please get over here…I need someone…”

“Sure Sora. We’re all on our way. We’ll be there in 5 minutes”

“Okay”

“Bye Sora”

“Bye Yamato” I hung up the phone. I hugged myself and walked towards a bench. Suddenly I began to feel dizzy and light-headed… No…please…not again… “Nurse! I’m going to faint!” I called out. I fell into unconsciousness.

-----
When I came around, I was lying on a bench. The nurse looked over me. “Are you alright?”

“Hai, I think so,” I said sitting up.

“Sora!” cried Yamato and the others, running towards me. They crowded around me.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah…just a little dizzy spell. That’s all”

“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” asked the nurse.

“Hai. Arigato” The nurse left.

“Have you had these often?” asked Jyou.

“What…dizzy spells?” I said, looking up at him.

I thought back.

“Yeah…yeah. Now that I think about it… And this weird feeling when I wake up in the morning… I think it’s just stress…”

I looked at him. He looked deep in thought. “Why are you asking me this?”

“I think that…”

“Excuse me…Miss Takenouchi? Would you come with me for a moment?” I got up and went with him.

“Gomen…he has lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion. Luckily, we have enough of his blood type to transfuse. However, I need a volunteer to transfuse in case we run out”

“I’ll be more than happy to volunteer”

“Come with me, then”

I nodded. “You guys stay here. I’ll be right back”

I returned to the others 5 minutes later. That’s when they noticed how bad of shape I was in.

“Sora what happened to you guys?”

“We were in the subway and I guess the driver took a wrong turn and we went into a construction zone and slammed into a wall. I was thrown against the doors and Taichi was caught under a bench…” I paused and sat down. “People were screaming and dying…yet I managed to survive…” I looked to the floor. “Yet among all the dying a new life began…” I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together and put my forehead against them. “…my new life, with Taichi…” I said quietly.

“Oh my god Sora!” Mimi shrieked. She came over to me and gave me a huge hug. I looked at her and smiled. The others looked confused. “You guys…Sora’s getting married!” she said, excitedly. “Sora?”

I blushed and nodded.

“Congratulations!” they all said.

“So come on…tell me what happened” said Mimi, sitting down next to me.

“Well I had just found Taichi and we were sitting there and suddenly he told me he wanted to ask me something. Then he just asked me. I knew just the way to answer…” I said blushing.

“Miss Takenouchi? Can I talk to you for a moment?” I looked at Yamato. He got up. “Sure” He took my hint and followed me. “What is it doctor? Is there something wrong with Taichi? Does he need my blood?”

“No we don’t need your blood. Besides, you can’t transfuse anyway” I was confused. Was there something wrong with me?

“Why? What is it? What’s wrong with me?”

“Well, Miss Takenouchi, I am proud to announce that you are carrying a child”
