-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Through the Eyes of Friendship
Chapter 1

The doctor placed his hand reassuringly on the shoulder of the Teenager Koji, he asked, "Do you know anything yet?"

"No, we don't we just got him in and on anisectic." Came the doctor's reply.
All eyes watched the door leading to Takuya's hospital door.
"It's going to be okay, Koji." Koichi Reassured.

The doctor removed his hand and, as he turned to head down the hall, he issued his familiar command, "Get me the progress charts."
Atemping to following the doctor, Koji felt his stomach lurch again. He had been here too many times before. A command for progress rarely bought good news.
He never expected anything to go wrong when they discovered that the gateway to and from the digital world became reopened and they could travel to and from there as they pleased.

So there they were, waiting for the news about the leader of their team, Takuya. Was he going to be alright? Was the thought that crossed all their minds.

Koji thought back only a mere 20 minutes before the present.

No one was sitting at the classroom computer when it spat out Zoe, closely followed by Tommy and J.P.. A shrill shreik comming from buried in zoe's hand, came a short cry, at the sight of the limp form of their leader, Takuya, cruched up between the twins Koji and Takuya.
"Damn," Koji swore quietly to himself as he gently set Takuya Down.

"Koji...?" Tommy began.
"I have no idea.. He wandered off, we heard a scream and we found him at the bottom of a twenty foot ravine, out cold." Koji replied, Answering tommy's obvious question.

Koji drove everyone from the school to the hospital in his SUV, and rushed quickly to the doors leading to the ER.

The kids watched in silence as Koichi and J.P. loaded Takuya onto the gurney that had arrived under the supervision of the hospital's Doctor. He listened to Koichi's brief description of the ravine as he examined the deep gash that ran from the centre of Takuya's forehead across the top of his right eye. Checking the young man's pupil reflexes, he shouted instructions to his orderlies about CAT scans and x-rays and then whisked his patient down the hallway.

Koji moved to follow but the J.P. gently placed his hand on his arm to stop him. As Koichi looked enquiringly at him. Another nurse came out and said; "Sir, I need some information about where you were when the accendent happened. As much information as you can give would be very helpful."

Zoe opened her mouth to argue, but closed it, knowing from the look in Koji's eyes that there was no point.

The nurse saw the shift in the expression and softened her tone, "I'll make sure the doctor reports as soon as he has any information."

(o)o(o)o(o)

Tommy glanced once more at the hospital room door as if sheer force of will would bring the battered Takuya striding through it, boucing back with a confident "I'm okay!"

The interview, or more like interogation, was finally over. Zoe and Koichi walked out of the nurse's office, shutting the door behind them.

Tommy pulled his attention back to those around the room. Zoe's face was etched with fine lines of deep worry and, although Koji appeared impassive, the tell-tale twitch in his right cheek belied his own concern for their fellow team member.

The teens were completly and utterly alone in the Emergency Room Waiting Area.

Koji's thoughts interjected his worry, he was thinking back about what happened before they came back through the portal.
There really was nothing. No insects, no birds, no signs of small digimon, nothing. Koji thought.

He rembered back when night had fallen.
There were no sounds. Nothing. No crickets, no birds, nothing. Koji's thoughts continued.
In the morning Tommy and J.P., and Zoe, started to cook some food. And while--

"We were just out to have fun." Zoe cried, interruping Koji's thought. Tommy and J.P. tried to comfort her. And though, nobody looked his direction, Koji gave an annoyed glance in their direction.

--While Takuya, Kouchi and Koji checked around for Digimon, any 'mon really.

Everything was going fine. Boring but fine. Takuya had taken the team to a clearing in a small circle of those stunted trees that grow there.

In the hallway outside the hospital room, and outside Koji's head, his twin brother sat next to him.

"Koji, you wanna talk about it?" Koichi, his twin brother, asked.

"Takuya, the jerk, told me that he'd be right back, said he'd go to take a leak and, well..." His voice tailed off as he waved at the air around as if tring to convice himself to continue.
All eyes, including Zoe's tear filled eyes, were on Koji as he talked to the floor.

"Takuya walked off, pushing through the trees. He was gone for no more than a few minutes when I heard him scream."
Koji felt his stomach lurch again as he remembered the awful blood-curdling noise that had apparently come from Takuya as he'd fallen.
"Koichi and I ran though the trees just stopping at the edge of a ravine to find Takuya at the bottom of it.

It was horrible... " He bowed his head even lower.

"He didn't wake up..." Then, subconsciously, he turned to look at the empty doorway.

Tommy scanned the worried and despondent faces. He was about to utter some words of encouragement, that always felt too contrived, when a nurse appeared at the doorway. "Excuse me, the Doctor would like to see you in Room 473."

(o)o(o)o(o)

The room was quiet.

Zoe sat beside Takuya's bed watching the young man's chest rise and fall in the gentle rhythm of a deep sleep. It was, in fact, hard to tell if he was asleep because a swathe of bandages ran around his head completely covering his forehead and eyes.

The Doctor had given them his diagnosis and his words still echoed around Koji's head.

"Your friend has suffered a relatively severe head trauma that appears to have damaged his optic nerves. It does, however, appear not to have caused any further injuries, although we won't be completely sure of that until he wakes up. It's not uncommon for an injury to the front of the skull to damage these nerves as the brain is pushed against the front of the skull during the trauma. However, it is uncommon for it to affect both eyes." The question on everyone's minds at the time was voiced by J.P. and the doctor had answered the best he could, "We can't tell at this stage the extent of the injury or whether it will heal itself."

Koji shuddered as he remembered the words.

Takuya... blind?

Just the mere thought of it made him feel physically sick.

He could still see the look of complete and total shock on Zoe and Tommy's face.

Koji shook his head. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad. Maybe Takuya would wake up and his sight would be fine. Maybe the doctor had been wrong. Maybe...maybe Nemon was a scholor now. He snorted at his foolishness.

"Koji?" The voice was weak and tentative, unsure of itself.

"I'm here, Takuya." Koji tried to keep his voice light and cheerful.

"Koji...I can't...." There was a hint of fear in the tone but Zoe jumped in quickly.

"It's okay, Takuya, you've got a bandage over your eyes." Koji cringed, as he was thinking the same thing. Why had he so deliberately dodged the possibility that it may be more than just a bandage stopping the spirited teen from seeing the world around him.

"What happened?"

"You fell into a ravine and banged up that thick head of yours."

"Oh. Sorry."

How could he do that? Fall down, bang his head, end up in hospital and still be the one apologising. "Don't!" Koji said, realising too late that it had come out a little more vehemently than he had meant it to.

"Koji? Are you okay?"

There he goes again! He's the one with the bandage and he's asking me if I'm okay! Koji sighed, "I'm fine, Tacky, just fed up with these damned uncomfortable chairs. I think I'll just go tell the Doc to get me an armchair installed in here." And with that, he left the room, hoping that he'd made takuya feel as thought there was nothing to worry about.

A small smile touched Takuya's lips and Zoe, too, smiled, patting the Takuya's hand reassuringly.

"How long...?" He was going to ask how long he'd been sleeping, but Zoe already knew what he meant.

Zoe checked her watch, "Just over four hours."

"Oh." Takuya yawned.

"Better get some more sleep, Takuya."

Takuya nodded and winced at the movement but it wasn't long before his rhythmic breathing told the kids that he was sleeping again.

To Be Continued...
