Chapter 1 The Start of Something Beautiful

A/N: This is a crossover anime fic, featuring many different animes. I hope you enjoy it.
Some animes that are included are Serial Experiments Lain, Fruits Basket, Strawberry Panic, and a few more.

I know what you are thinking. The stories usually all start the same way. The heroine or hero usually says that that this isn't how they wanted their lives to turn out. They had no control over what was being done. That is blatantly untrue, as everyone has control over their own lives.

If they didn't, my word would be worth absoultely nothing, and I would cease to exist as we know it. But, I do exist, and I am happy I exist. I am happy I was born into this world. My name is Lain Iwakura, and I am alive.

My life lately has become somewhat surreal. First, I was told that one of my classmates had commited suicide, by diving off a bridge, and that some of my classmates had received an e-mail from her. But, how is that even possible, if she killed herself? It should not be possible. It goes way outside the realm of possibility, to impossibility.

Then, I was introduced to a completely different world. The world of the Wired. There, I was told I had always been part of the Wired. At first, this seemed rediculous to me also, however I soon found out that the outside world was not where I was meant to be. I was somehow always meant to reside in the world of the Wired, the realm of technology, and the real me was never meant to exist.

How cruel is it to tell someone that they were never meant to exist in the first place. I know that when I first heard it, from the so called God of the Wired that it stung, because it felt so wrong. My friend Alice was the one who made me realize that I could survive in both worlds.

She made me feel so welcome, and I was happy for a time. But, as we all know, things always happen for some reason or another, and when the time came, she turned on me, just like everyone else did.

In the end, I never existed outside of the Wired, and for some people, it looked like I never would.
