Disclaimer: Well here it is. A new story! Hopefully this one will be much better than the last one I attempted to write. But here it is, in the writing! I do not own any of the Digimon/Characters, or some of the plot. But I do own my thoughts, the part of the plot that I did not get from the series and my own original character Lain Auska X. (Yeah sure. I know I used this name before when I was writing my .hack//SIGN fic. But oh well. I like the name. And will probably be using it a lot.)

The song does credit to the Anime called .hack//SIGN. The title of it is Aura.

Digimon I: Alone

Saga: The Child of Darkness

The sixteen-year-old girl stood in the Digital World. Her left hand clasping her five foot long katana. A wave of fear appeared on her face as she looked at the dead bodies of all the Digimon she had slain. Her own Digimon stood beside her. It stood at least twenty stories high. It was called Black WarGreymon.

"Why did this have to happen?" she asked with total fear in her voice. "I didn't mean too kill them. I didn't want to. What is wrong with me!?"

"It wasn't your fault," Black WarGreymon replied with little emotion in his voice. "You are the Child of Darkness. It is your destiny to kill. That is what you are here in the Digital World for. You set the balances between good and evil."

"But I don't want to!" the girl shouted out to her Digimon. "What if I don't want to be this Child of Darkness anymore! I hate it here! I hate killing! I never asked to do this!"

"You're just being selfish now," the Digimon replied angrily. "Of course you didn't ask for this. I don't want you to have this job, but this is how it has to be. Your destiny has been chosen already. You are to keep the balance in the Digital World until the day you die."

"Then I want to die now," she muttered, while clutching her sword tighter. "I don't deserve to live now. I've killed so many. I've done so many horrible things. I don't deserve to be alive. Black WarGreymon! I order you to kill me! Now!"

"What!?" Black WarGreymon shouted out jumping a little at her request. "I will do nothing of the sort! You're being selfish again! Suicide is not the answer! You don't deserve to die!"

"Yes I do! If you won't do it then I will kill myself with my own sword!" the girl screamed out rising her sword into the air. She swung it down. She waited for the impact but felt none. She looked up at her hands and noticed her sword was gone. She looked over to her Digimon and frowned. "Give it back. Now."

"You're not dying now," the Digimon replied with her sword in his hand. The sword looked like a toothpick compared to his size of his hand. "We have a new mission. I'm not letting you make a selfish sacrifice now."

"New mission?" Lain replied looking up at her Digimon with more fear. "They gave us another mission!? How can they do that! They said this was my last mission I would perform for them! Then they would let me go! What is going on with them!? Have they forgotten their promise they have made to me!?"

"I." her Digimon began and then trailed off. He sighed and then bent down so he was on one knee and gave her, her sword back. "I don't know what they are thinking. But promise me this one thing. Don't go seeking revenge against them. It wouldn't be wise. They are more powerful than you are, and you know that. I don't want to see you dead. Not yet, your too young."

"Young?" Lain asked taking her sword and then climbed onto his hand. The Digimon then set her on his shoulder where she sat down and then sighed. "I don't know about that. I'm eighteen now, and you know it."

"Young for me that is," Black WarGreymon replied laughing a little. "I've been alive for a long time. Longer than you, can imagine. Just waiting here, for you. I've been alive before this Dark Empire has started. I guess I just spent my life waiting for you to show up, for me to find you."

"Wow," Lain said leaning back on her hands. "You never talk to me about this stuff before. Why are you opening up now?"

"Who knows? With the attitude you have we might not live for to long." They both laughed and then took off into the air.

"So what is this new mission."

"The new mission? It's to seek out the twelve Digidestinds and.destroy them," Black WarGreymon said gravely. "That is what he told me before we left. You were in such a hurry to leave that you never heard his last sentence."

"I. I can't do it," Lain said as her eyes got a little bigger. "They know I can't do it! They can't make me! I won't do it! I can't kill them! Gennai told me not to interfere with them. If I do then something bad might happen. Black WarGreymon, I can't kill them."

"But if you don't, then the Dark Empire will kill you themselves," her Digimon said slowing down his speed. "You know the consequences for disobeying them."

"I don't care," Lain muttered under breath. "I don't care anymore."

--------------------------------------------------

"What happened here!?" the fifteen-year-old girl cried out in horror. She had short brown hair that was clipped off to one side with a pink clip. She was wearing a long sleeve red shirt and a tan skirt. Her long socks were also red. Her boots that went above her ankles by five inches were also red and were the buckling kind. Her eyes were brown and were looking over the battlefield full of dead Digimon.

"I.I don't know Kari!" her best blonde headed friend yelled out. He had short blonde hair that was mostly concealed under a tan floppy hat. His short sleeve shirt was green. Under the green shirt he was wearing a long sleeve yellow one. His pants were black and his shoes were black also. His blue eyes looked over to battlefield with horror also.

"These poor Digimon! Who could do such a thing!?" another girl called out. She had orange red hair that was as short as the girl called Kari's. Except hers was flipped up at the bottom. She was still wearing her school uniform. The shirt top was white and long sleeved. Her cuffs were solid blue and had white rings in them. Her bow was red. Her shirt resembled a sailor's uniform. The flap part was the same as her cuffs. Her skirt was blue and went a little bit past her knees. Her socks were baggy and white. And her shoes were brown and leather. "I. Biyomon! Biyomon!? Where are you! Please don't be here! Please don't be in this mess!"

The girl with the Digimon called Biyomon was on the verge of tears. Kari walked over to her and tried to comfort her in any way she could think of.

"Sora." Kari said trailing off at the sight of the unhappy girl that was in front of her. "Don't worry. Biyomon isn't here! She's somewhere else! I know it! Don't worry! She hasn't died!"

"But.but-what if she ha!?" Sora burst out now sobbing into her hands. "And I wasn't here to protect her! This is all my fault!"

"Sora," the large bushy, brown-headed boy said walking over to her. He was also wearing his school uniform as her. His uniform was green. And looked more like something formal. His coat that he was wearing over his white collared shirt was the green along with his pants. His boots where brown, and he was looking at Sora sadly, with his brown eyes. He walked over to his friend and then pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. Biyomon's okay. Nothing bad has happened to her. She's fine."

"Oh, Tai!" Sora burst out clinging onto him and cried on his shoulder. "I just can't help but worry about her! We've been away from the Digital World for so long!"

"Hey, it's alright. She's alright," Tai said quietly into her ear. "Trust me on this. We're all worried about our Digimon too. Were going to find them all. They're all safe and sound. Trust me on this Sora. You have to trust me. I know what I'm talking about."

"Okay," Sora muttered hugging him tighter. "I trust you, Tai." Tai smiled at her and then let her go so she could dry her tears. As soon as he did so he turned and faced the last member of the group that was with them in this area. It was his best friend. Who happened to be the blonde headed boy with the floppy hats brother, Matt.

Matt's blonde hair seemed to have some sort of wild style to it, it also seemed to be loaded down with at least twenty bottles of hair gel. He wasn't in his school uniform. He was in a black short sleeve collared shirt with one size too long blue levi jeans. His boots were black to match his shirt. His azure eyes were looking around the battlefield with that sad look. The sad look that he wore eight years ago. The first time he was in the Digital World, when he was almost made the biggest mistake of his life.

"Matt?" his brother asked. "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Matt asked looking over to his floppy hatted brother. "Nothings wrong TK. I was just thinking. That's all. Where are the others at?"

"Somewhere else in the Digital World," Kari answered. "We all split up into three groups. So we could find our Digimon faster. And to get new news, if there is any."

"Well this is sure news," Tai said looking around the field they were in one last time. "But who did all of this? Some new evil? Sure we've been away from the Digital World for at least three months. But all this damage? Happening while we were gone? This is just impossible."

"Impossible?" a cool voice said allowed. It seemed to echo through out the wasteland full of dead Digimon. "For you yes. Me? No."

"What!?" Tai screamed out spinning around along with the other four in his group. "Who are you!?"

Tai was looking at a girl his age. She was sitting on her Digimons shoulder. The Digimon she was sitting on was called Black WarGreymon. The girl had a sword in a blue sheath clutched in her left hand. She walked over to the edge of her Digimons armor, which was on his shoulder. And jumped. She landed on the ground catlike and then stood up. The five could see her clearly now, and so could she.

Then rain started. The downpour came. Rushing over the six teenagers and the one living Digimon.

The girl knee length long black hair. It was tied back just bellow her shoulders in a red rubber band. Her melancholy blue eyes were just visible through her matted black bangs that hung in her vision. She was wearing her school uniform like Sora. Her uniform was the same. They both went to the same school. Over her uniform she was wearing a ankle long black coat. Her long socks were black along with her boots that seemed to be made of just buckles and straps.

"I asked you a question!" Tai yelled out. "Who are you!?"

"Taichi Kamiya, Hikari Kamiya, Sora Tachenouchi, Yamato Ishida, and Takeru Ishida," the girl pronounced in a sort of bored tone. "This is a little new. I would have never thought any of you too be Digidestinds. Tai Kamiya the holder of Courage? Kari Kamiya the holder of Light? Sora Tachenouchi the holder of Love? Matt Ishida the holder of Friendship? And TK Ishida the holder of Hope? This is surprising." She paused and then unsheathed her sword and held it out in front of her in her left hand. Her blue sheath was in her right. "Well this changes something Black WarGreymon. I still can't kill them."

"Why is that?" Black WarGreymon growled out not taking his eyes off of the five teenagers in front of him. "You seemed to have no hesitation destroying all these Digimon before you."

"Yes, but they attacked first," she replied. "What was I supposed to do? Don't get me wrong. I still feel totally guilty about it. It's going to eat me alive for the rest of my life. I won't be able to get over it. I probably won't rest until the day that I finally die, that will truly be that greatest day of my life."

"You killed all these Digimon!?" Kari cried out horrified. "How can you do such a thing!?"

"What? You think I wanted too?" she asked lowering her sword a little, while giving Kari a surprised look. "I didn't want too. It wasn't really my fault. I was ordered too. I couldn't do anything a bout it. Trust me, if I could control Destiny, they I would have let none of this happen."

"You're lying!" Matt burst out, while forming his hands into fists. "You had no reason to kill them! You could have stopped yourself! But you didn't! I can tell what you're thinking right now! Your eyes say that you want to kill us! They're flaming with hatred!"

"You're not looking hard enough," she replied sighing at he angry teen. "I do not want to kill you. And how can I hate when I've barely even meet any of you before? Your mind is clouded Ishida. You don't see how I fell at all. You just imagine."

"Enough!" Matt screamed out as his knuckles turned white. "Who are you! Tell us now! You know out names but we've never even seen you before in our lives."

"I have," Sora said quietly. "She's in my Science class. She's in all of our classes. Well that is if you're in your last year of High School."

"I always knew you were sharp," she said smiling at Sora happily. "I'm you haven't figured out who I am yet.then I guess I will have to tell you. My name is Lain Auska X."

"Well then Lain," Matt said trying to hold back his anger. "Why are you trying to kill us. Why have you come here!? WHY DID YOU KILL THESE INNOCENT DIGIMON!?"

"Don't you yell at me," Lain hissed out to him. "Your lives rest in my hands. I will choose now what I am to do with you. They have sent me here to find and destroy you. I have found and now need to destroy. But then again, I am debating. Your lives or.mine?"

"Who are they? And what do you mean by 'or.mine?'" Kari asked bravely and took a step forward. "What does your life have to do with any of this."

"Tell them," Black WarGreymon grunted out. "Before they die."

"I don't want to kill anyone," Lain replied. "I don't want anyone to die." She looked at the ground. She was standing in mud, along with the others. Everything seemed to be so lonely and sad. The rain was just adding on to her sadness that was forming in her heart. She couldn't kill these five teenagers. The weight would be too much for her to bear. She couldn't do it. she didn't want to kill again. Never. but if she didn't. Then she herself, would die along with them. If she wouldn't kill these Digidestinds than the Dark Empire would for her, but bring her down with the Digidestinds.

"I am an Assassin or Ninja, which ever one you prefer," Lain said looking back up at the five that were in front of her. "I am under order right now. By the Dark Empire. They have something that belongs to me that I want back greatly. So I do as they bid." She paused and then looked at all the dead Digimon that remained in the background. "That was supposed to be my last mission. I was supposed to destroy all those Digimon, then I would get it back. But it seems that they have broken their promise to me, they now want me to kill the Digidestinds. You guys, and the others."

"But aren't you a Digidestind to!?" TK yelled out steeping a little closer to Kari. "If you can get into the Digital World and have your Digimon, Black WarGreymon, at your side in battle. Then doesn't that make you one too!?"

"No. Never," Lain said looking horrified at what TK had just told her. "I can't be one. I don't have anything to prove that I am. I can't be."

"Where is your Digivice? A crest? Anything! You must have one of the two!" TK cried out looking at her horrified. "Then how else could you have gotten here in the Digital World?"

"They have my Digivice," Lain replied dropping her sword fully and then sheathed it. "I can't do anything without it. And I'm supposed to be this Child of Darkness? How can I be that when I can't even steep up and beat them? I am just pathetic."

She could hear Black WarGreymon get ready to say something but stopped himself and stayed quiet.

"Then how do you get out of the Digital World? I mean how do you go to school?" Tai asked looking at Lain. "You have a crest don't you. You have the crest of Darkness."

"I.how did you know? Was it that much of a give away?" Lain asked looking at the teen a little surprised.

"You didn't really give it away that much. It did it on its own," Tai replied laughing a little. "It's glowing. Right now."

"What!? Then that means." Lain looked at Tai utterly horrified. It was the horrified look, right before you were murdered. "My Digivice! RUN NOW! THE DARK EMPIRE IS COMING! I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE! NOT YET! PLEASE GO! NO!"

"What? Sora replied looking around. "I don't see any Dark Empire. What are you talking about?"

"RUN! NOW!" Lain screamed out falling to her knees. "You have to leave now! Or you'll die by their hands! I don't want that to happen! Please go, now!"

The five teens looked at Lain a little worried and then started backing up. It was no use. Before they even managed to get anywhere a dark figure landed in front of them.

The figure steeped into view. Everyone could see it clearly now. It was six feet tall and had piercing red eyes, which seemed to burn a hole right through your soul. The figure, or now man was wearing a long black coat like Lain's, except his was buttoned up and seemed to be at lest one size to big for him. On his back they could all see the hugest sword imaginable. It was at least eight feet long and seemed to have a width of one foot. It was strapped to his back and seemed to be giving off a bright shimmer of light. The man had a huge, black, warlocks hat on his head. His hair was long and black. It seemed to have disappeared under his coat. His pants were black and his boots looked very similar to Lain's.

Lain looked at the man that was before her, a look of fear spread across her face very quickly.

"L-l-lord Fukushumon!" Lain cried out bowing. "I-I-I did not expect you t-t- to come here!"

"What have you been doing Lain?" Fukushumon said broadly as he held out his left hand to her. In his hand he had her Digivice. A plain black on. In the middle it had a screen. To the left of the screen was one red button, and to the right were two red ones. "I thought you were going to kill the Digidestinds. You don't have a problem with that? Do you?"

"N-n-n-no! Not at all!" Lain replied lowering her head to the ground. "I was getting there. I just thought they might want to have a last look at the life they are now going to leave. I thought I might let their souls rest in some sort of peace before they died. Let them have a last chance to look around."

"Do I care if their souls rest in peace?"

"No. I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I am sorry."

"Lain? Get up from the ground and face me. I know you fear me. But I don't see why? Do I strike fear into your heart?"

"I. no Lord Fukushumon," Lain said getting up from the ground.

"Your lying, Lain. I've told you not to lie to me. Do you want your Digivice back?"

"Yes."

"Then here it is. But when you get it back. Make your Digimon Digivolve. Make it an Ondimon."

"I. You mean DNA Digivolving!? I can't do that! I'd have to have a MetalGarurumon! It can't happen!" Lain cried out looking quickly at her Digimon and then back to the fearsome one that was before her. "I-I-I-I can't!"

"Of course you can't. I was just testing if you pay attention to what I say to you," Fukushumon said looking at Lain with a grin on his face. "Do you recall what I told you before? What you are supposed to be doing right now?"

"Seek out the Digidestinds and.and destroy them." Lain replied trailing off. She looked over to the five teenagers that were looking at the two of them horrified.

"Then why are they still alive!?" Fukushumon yelled out as his temper started to flare a little. "I still see them standing before me! Why are they still alive?!"

"She's not going to kill them," Black WarGreymon pronounced. "Killing Digimon is different. Their information is just reconfigured. Killing human's is different. They die and never come back."

"Do you think I care!?" Fukushumon yelled out getting madder ever second he spoke. "I don't care! Kill them! These Digidestinds are not to exist! They are standing in my way of ruling the Digital World. Lain! Use your Digivice to make Black WarGreymon evolve! NOW!"

"Huh? What?" Lain asked stepping back a little. The Digimon before her threw her Digivice at her, which she caught without hesitation. "Why are you giving this back?"

"Were you not listening!?" Fukushumon yelled out. "Use your god damn Digivice to Digivolve your Digimon! NOW!"

"What!?" Lain called out backing up until she ran into her Digimons leg. "But he's already in his Mega form. He can't go any further. And besides, you've just made a grave mistake. You gave me back my Digivice. You realize this now, don't you?"

"What?" Fukushumon said looking at her a little confused. "If you think this changes anything.then your wrong. This makes no change."

"You really are stupid," Lain said grinning at him. "Now that I have my Digivice I can bring my Digimon into the my World. He doesn't have to stay behind anymore. I am no longer your servant. I can do as I wish now. You can't control me anymore. You can't threaten me with destroying Black WarGreymon."

"What!? How dare you threaten me! Do you know what you're dealing with!?"

"No. But I don't care. As long as I am a real Digidestind now, I am fine. You feared me before. Cause I was the Child of Darkness, like I am now. The Digidestind that is a Lone Wolf, the Digidestind that sticks to making the Digital World a better place. The assassin that keeps good and evil balanced! That is who I am!"

"Afraid? Me afraid of a mere child such as yourself? Never!"

"You're just too self centered to notice anything," Lain replied shaking her head. "I'm sorry to say now.that your servant will be turning on you. It is your time to die Fukushumon! I will kill you! I have suffered in my very soul because of the horrible things that you have made me do! You will die by my hands!"

"Me die? By a mere mortal such as you?"

"You are no immortal Digimon! You may be a vampire! But you are nowhere near being immortal! I will prove that!" Lain screamed out stepping forward. She turned her attention then too the five teenagers that were starring at her and Fukushumon with fearful faces. "You five! Don't just stand there! Get out of here, now! A battle is going to take place! And I don't want you to get caught up in it!"

"But Lain!" Kari cried out stepping forward to only be grabbed around the shoulders by her brother Tai. "We just can't leave you here!"

"Hey! Remember!? I was just about to kill you guys not to long ago! And now you're willing to save me!?" Lain yelled out laughing a little. "Your to unbelievable Kari! I can see why you're the Child of Light now! Good luck to you all! Go out and find the rest of the Digidestinds! Till we meet again!" Lain grinned at the five and then clutched her Digivice in her right hand. She shot her hand that was clasped onto the Digivice up into the air a second latter. A bright light erupted from it a second latter. "HEY! I SAID RUN! NOW! I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO GET HURT! Leave before something bad happens to the five of you!"

"Something bad!?" Matt yelled out shielding his eyes. "What could go wrong!? I-" He cut himself short as he realized the light was getting stronger. He had to shut his eyes completely to block out most of the light that was streaming at him. "I don't understand! What's going on!?"

The answer never came. All he could hear now was a strange song that seemed to be echoing through the Digital World.

If you are near to the dark

I will tell you 'bout the sun

You are here, no escape

From my visions of the world

You will cry all alone

But it does not mean a thing to me

Knowing the song I will sing

Till the darkness come to sleep

Come to me, I will tell

'Bout the secret of the sun

It's in you, not in me

But it does not mean a thing to you

The sun is in your eyes

The sun is in your ears

I hope you see the sun

Someday in the Darkness

The sun is in your eyes

The sun is in your ears

Ever in the darkness

It does not much matter to me

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Matt screamed out at the top of his lungs as the light seemed to be getting brighter. "WHAT IS THIS SONG!?"

The song seemed to be echoing on and on through the Digital World. When it was over it would repeat itself, as if it were never ending.

Finally the light faded away. He removed his hands from his face and opened his eyes. He could see the sunlight of the Digital World starring back at him in the sky. He looked around to see his four friends spread across the beach where they had first had their battle with Shellmon.

Matt stood up and then walked over to his friends who were now starting to stir. They all looked up at him with 'where are we?' plastered all over their faces. He smiled at them all and then shrugged his shoulders. He looked past his friends and down the beach. He frowned a little. Lain and Black WarGreymon were nowhere in sight.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Black WarGreymon?" Lain asked looking over to her Digimon. "Where are we?" They were now away from their battle that they were having with Fukushumon. They were losing badly.

"I don't know," her Digimon replied looking around the thick forest that they were in. "Do you still have your Digivice?"

"Yes," Lain said looking down at her right had. She opened it to reveal her plain black and red Digivice. "Why though?"

"We can leave the Digital World together now," Black WarGreymon replied smiling at her. "Your not under control by the Dark Empire anymore. You'll be safe, in the your World, that is."

"You're right," Lain replied smiling. "What?" Her Digimon was now looking at her a little surprised.

"You've never smiled like that before. Are you happy?" Black WarGreymon asked her.

"Yes."

Lain nodded her head at her Digimon and then continued to smiled at him.
