Takeru let out a deep sigh of relief, as Iori told them that he had the remote.
"Thank God." Hikari breathed.
Iori grinned slightly as he handed the remote over to Takeru, who pocketed securely.
"Now what?" Hikari asked, staring into Takeru's eyes.
He sighed and ran a hand through his already messy hair. "Honestly, I don't know."
Iori leaned against a nearby tree in defeat. The trio stood there in silence, the past event with Yagami had emotionally drained them all.
Takeru glanced up at Hikari, then back at the ground, thinking. A minute later he suddenly and quickly walked over to Hikari, and studied the back of her neck.
"There's no mark." He muttered, "How'd Yagami get the chip in there?"
Hikari sighed softly, "I don't know. I just woke up and it was there."
"Can you feel it?" Takeru brushed his fingers gently across her neck.
"No."
Iori glanced up sharply at this, watching both the adults. Hikari turned to Takeru and rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her waist and the two just stood there. Iori blinked and suddenly the pair weren't holding each other. Takeru was studying Hikari's neck again.
"There's no mark." He muttered, "How'd Yagami get the chip in there?"
Hikari sighed softly, "I don't know. I just woke up and it was there."
"Can you feel it?" Takeru brushed his fingers gently across her neck.
Hikari shook her head, then rested it on Takeru's shoulder. He, in turn, wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Whoa." Iori whispered, wondering what had just happened.
"Hmm?" Hikari looked up, questioningly at Iori, "Did you say something?"
"No." Iori shook his head.
Takeru sighed, pulling Hikari closer. "We need to get the chip out."
"But we have the remote." Iori reminded him.
"Yagami can still get it, I'm sure he won't stop til he does."
Hikari nodded her agreement, "It's a powerful little chip."
*
*
Daisuke Motomiya sat in the tent that had been Takeru's merely days before. The medicine woman of this tiny village, Sora Takenouchi, had given him food and shelter. After much questioning and even more pleading, Daisuke was able to find out that Takeru and Iori had, in fact, been here, but were now gone. He also knew of the secret spot of Yagami's new hideout, but Sora would not let him leave the net alone and she wouldn't think of going there.
Sora walked into the tent, holding a tray with various delicious-smelling foods. "Here." She handed Daisuke a plate with many native foods on it.
"Thanks, Takenouchi."
She placed the tray on a small table while saying: "I have a name, Daisuke Motomiya."
"Sorry, Sora." Daisuke muttered, then looked up, "And you can call me Dai."
"Alright." Sora nodded and sat down across from him, "Now why are you looking for Takaishi and Hida?"
"Why won't you let me go into the forest?" Daisuke countered.
"Because I do not trust you." She said bluntly and tasted some of her soup.
"How reassuring." Daisuke whispered sarcastically. "Look, Sora, I need to find them, alot is happening. It's extremely important."
Sora looked into Daisuke's eyes to see any guilt in them, but did not. Sighing, she said, "Fine, but I shall accompany you."
"Perfect. Let's go."
"No, we shall go tomorrow, after rest and food. It will be better to go in daylight, for we don't know what awaits us."
Daisuke nodded, seeing the wisdom it this. "First thing."
*
*
Iori yawned and rolled over on the ground. Hikari and Takeru, who were lying extremely close to one another, were both still asleep.
The sun was barely peeking over the horizon.
Iori sat up and heard crunching noises from the twigs and dry leaves. 'Someone's coming.' He stood up quickly and quietly went to investigate.
He walked slowly, but surely. The crunching sound was coming closer with each breath. Suddenly he saw Sora Takenouchi with Takeru's friend Daisuke Motomiya. He wiped some sweat away from his face and blinked.
Iori sat up and heard crunching noises from the twigs and dry leaves. 'Someone's comi- Wait a minute!' He looked around, Hikari and Takeru were still asleep, the sun was still barely peeking over the horizon, and the crunching sound was still coming closer. 'But didn't this just happen?'
Quite suddenly Sora Takenouchi and Daisuke Motomiya walked into view.
"Iori." Sora smiled.
Takeru sat up slowly, for Hikari was still asleep and laying on his arm. "Daisuke?"
"Hey." Daisuke winked at Takeru, who was still too tired to understand the meaning of the wink.
"What happened?" Sora asked, seeing Hikari.
"We rescued her from Yagami." Takeru explained, freeing his arm from Hikari.
"Wait!" Daisuke said suddenly and loudly.
"Shh!" Takeru glared.
"That's not Yagami's sister, is it?"
"What?!" Sora hissed with great dislike.
"Quiet, both of you." Takeru said with authority. "Yes, Hikari is Yagami's sister, but she's on our side. And-" he glanced at Sora "-no use for ransom. Yagami'll kill her in a heartbeat."
"He doesn't care about her?" Sora asked shocked.
"Doesn't give a shit." Takeru said bitterly and angrily.
"Don't forget about the chip." Iori said softly into the new silence.
"Chip?"
"Yagami had a chip that can control weapons and put it on Hikari. Iori was able to get the remote from him. We need to get it out of her." Takeru turned to fully face Sora. "Can you help?"
Sora sighed, "We have nothing at the village great enough to help."
"Wait!" Daisuke cried loudly again and this time awoke Hikari, but no-one noticed. "My sister is a nurse. She's a few towns away."
"Let's go then." Hikari said suddenly from the ground, making everyone jump.
"Holy..Hikari, don't do that." Takeru said with a slight smile.
Hikari grinned and stood up, she kissed Takeru gently and quickly on the lips, then walked over to Daisuke. "Lead us to your sister."
"Yes, ma'am." Daisuke said with a mock salute. He winked again at Takeru, who now understood the meaning, and set off the way he and Sora had come.
The quintet quickly made their way to where Daisuke had left his jeep. It was difficult and cramped, but the group was able to fix all five people in. Hikari had gladly sat on Takeru's lap to make room.
It took longer than everyone had thought to reach to town where Jun Motomiya was serving. Though, luckily, it wasn't too far away, for the jeep had been running on fumes for the last two miles.
"Dai?!" Jun had cried with surprise when her younger brother had shown up. She had been, naturally, worried about him and was happy to see that he was well. After Daisuke had explained what had happened to Hikari, to the best of his knowledge, and that they needed the chip removed, Jun gladly agreed. Shortly after finding a room for the quintet Jun went to find a doctor who could perform the surgery.
Iori went to lay down and rest, while Sora looked around at how these 'modern' doctors worked. Takeru and Hikari just sat there and held each other and Daisuke began to make a meal.
*
*
Takeru felt a slight stirring next to him as Hikari shifted in her sleep. He turned, his face being buried in her hair. Takeru took a deep breath inhaling the sweet scent.
Today would be the day of the surgery. Hikari would be free today. Free of the chip and hopefully soon her brother. Takeru couldn't wait til this damn stupid war was over, so he could take Hikari to his home and they could live together. In peace.
Jun walked in and whispered to Daisuke, who had been awake for several hours, then she left.
Daisuke walked over to Takeru and the sleeping Hikari a few minutes left. "Hey, Takeru, it's time for the surgery."
"Alright, I'll wake her."
Daisuke nodded and left.
Takeru sat up slightly, leaning on his elbow, and gently shook Hikari. "Time to wake up, love."
"Hmm, good morning." Hikari smiled, turning onto her back. She rubbed her hand up and down Takeru's arm. "Is it time?"
"Yeah." Takeru stood up, then lifted Hikari up and placed her on her feet. "Soon, it'll all be better."
Takeru nodded, then passionately kissed Hikari.
*
*
Sora sat outside the operating room with the others. Daisuke was next to her with his hand placed lightly on hers. Iori was intently watching the clock, as the time ticked by. Takeru was a nervous wreck. He kept pacing around the room. 'He's starting to make me dizzy.'
Almost ten minutes later, about two hours since Hikari had gone in, Jun came out. She walked over to Takeru and whispered to him. Then she came over to Daisuke and took him aside. Takeru, who had been left standing in front of the door, stood there shocked. Tears threatened to spill. Hikari was dead. It was the second time he had heard this, but it didn't dampen the pain.
"Hikari's dead."
*
*
Iori sat up suddenly. He looked around in shock, he was in his hotel. The lobby of his hotel. From a nearby room, that's door was shut tightly, Iori heard talking.
"Good morning to you, too, Takeru." Hikari's voice sang out.
Suddenly Iori remembered, he was to get breakfast for these people. These guests in his hotel.
"Why, hello." Takeru said.
"A 'nice try' to you also." Hikari said and there was the sound of footsteps.
"Breakfast is soon."
"Good to know."
Then Takeru exited the room, but stayed close by the door.
Iori stared at him. He 'remembered' that this was how he had met Takeru and Hikari.
*
*
Hikari put her clothes down on the bed. Takeru had just left her, so she took out the box containing the chip. As she did so the box began to vibrate.
"What the-"
The vibrate was quickly accompanied by a loud beeping sound. Hikari dropped the box and covered her ears.
Takeru burst back into the room, "What is that?!"
"I don't know!" Hikari moved away from the bed.
Iori ran in and dived for the box.
*
*
There was a small, constant beep coming from the remote. Taichi Yagami hurried over to it and pulled up a map. Right where he thought it would happen. He waited a second then pressed the small green button.
*
*
Iori grabbed the box that held the chip that would later cause the end of Hikari's life, if Iori's vision was to be believed. He was about to smash it into pieces, when the beeping stopped.
"What's going on?!" Takeru demanded fearfully and angrily.
Before anyone could answer, there was a blue glow from the box in Iori's hand. Then suddenly the boy began to scream and dropped to the floor, unconscious.
Hikari gasped and rushed towards the boy. She kicked the box out of his hand. Hikari placed her hand on his chest and felt a heartbeat.
"He's alive."
"Thank God." Takeru rushed over and lifted the boy up. "We need to get him to a hospital."
"But where's the nearest one?"
Takeru shrugged the best he could and headed out the door and towards his vehicle. Hikari followed him and opened the back door for Takeru, who put the unconscious Iori in there. Hikari hopped into the seat next to the boy to watch his condition, Takeru shut the door and rushed over to his seat.
Takeru speeded towards the general direction of the hospital, he merely followed the street signs. Soon enough, time-wise, but forever for Takeru and Hikari, they made it to the hospital.
*
*
Hikari sat next to Takeru in the boy's, Iori, hospital room.
"I wonder what happened."
"It was your box." Takeru snapped.
"Not *my* box, Takaishi. Don't think you know everything." Hikari snapped back, only more harsh.
Takeru scoffed, then turned to look at Iori.
Suddenly the door burst open, and Taichi Yagami walked in.
"Taichi!" Hikari jumped up, surprised.
"Yagami!" Takeru yelled and pulled out his gun.
Yagami had been expecting this and shot Takeru with a tranquiller dart. Then he grabbed Hikari and threw her to one of the guards standing behind him.
"Taichi, what are you doing?!" Hikari tried to struggle, but it was no use.
"I am taking what I need to win this war." Taichi motioned to several other guards, who came and surrounded Iori's bed.
"But the chip-!"
"The chip is but a pawn, it's not important." Taichi looked at Iori. "He is."
The guards moved Iori from his hospital bed to a portal rolling bed.
"Take him too." Taichi pointed at the unconscious Takeru.
And with that Taichi, his guards, and the three captives left.
Ha ha! Im done!! Like? like? Please, please, please review!
