Chapter 4 - Talk

Arata groaned as he got up to retrieve his digivice at 4:15 in the morning with an incoming call. Of all the times to leave his digivice in the living room. He looks at the front door as he entered the living room and shakes his head. Ten days since she left on her trip and he wants to welcome her home just once. She always beats him home when he's at school and she's at work, but she has twenty more days away.

Why was he in the living area again? It's not because of the eerie creaking sounds within the walls or the drips and kata noises in the hall. He's not used to them but Ami reassures him they are harmless. He turned back around to head back to bed when his digivice started ringing again.

That's right, his digivice.

He walked over to it and answered it, not seeing it was an unknown number or that it was coming from somewhere in the United States.

"Hello?" he greeted.

"Mr. Sanada?" someone spoke in English causing Arata to blink sleep away, his tired mind cannot process English right now.

"Yes, that's me," Arata responded with a rough accent but he hopes the point is across. He could hang up, it could be a scam. Something is telling him it's not however.

"Phew, so glad we contacted you!" the man was speaking faster than what Arata could understand.

"Uh.. my english isn't good, can you slow down?"

"No time. Don't worry about the international bill we will cover it -" International bill? "We need you to keep Ms. Aiba talking, make sure she stays awake, okay?" Ms Aiba? Ami!

"Wait-" Arata said but he got a transferring tone. He looked at his digivice seeing the call was from the states. The holographic display was disabled on the caller's end so he disabled his. He held the digivice closer to his ear as the tone stopped. "Hello?"

"Arata?" Ami's voice spoke. Her voice sounding drowsy, exhausted, and forced.

"Ami, are you okay?" Arata asked his mind and body now awake, no longer caring about sleep.

"I'm fine. The doctors are just overreacting," Ami said and he can imagine her with a bright smile, trying to calm his fears. "They think if I fall asleep, I won't wake back up."

Arata hands shake as he places his digivice on speaker, he has to sit it down otherwise he might break it. "You are obviously not fine if they tell you that."

Her voice is slowly sounding more awake. "Are you okay?" she asks and it throws him for a loop. He's not the patient that the doctors want to stay awake, he's not even the one who is close to a doctor! "You sound terrified," Ami says.
