Ok….i have like nooo intention of continuing this story…I'm not a writer, and for that matter I suck, I'm an artist….but I suck at that too….this chapter is just for the reviews who kinda begged and that one who said they like to read about people suffering…..rock on dude….

Lan slowly pushed the door open, trying to be silent seeing the lone figure spread out across the bed.

Making his way across the room to the corner where their small double bed was placed he trying to still the beating of his heart as he watched her chest rise and fall with every sleepy breath.

Maylu heard the sound of springs bending, but chose to ignore it, waiting for what he would do. A moment later she felt his hand cup her check, caressing the side of it with his thumb. Smiling inwardly, keeping her face emotionless, she nudged her head into his hand, and slowly opened her eyes as if waking from a light sleep.

The eyes she meet were heart wrenchingly sad and she knew he was trying to apologize. Just this made her skin prickle with annoyance, what had he done to be sorry for? To escape this she lifted her hands to his head and pulled his face towards hers.

He brushed his lips against hers, then kissing her softly shifted so that he was suspended above her. Moving his mouth along the side of her cheek to her neck he sniffed her hair. A soft moan from her throat and the feel of her hands on his back almost brought a smile to his face.

Maylu thought about where to take this, and how to use it to her advantage. She had to find out what was wrong with Lan, she knew he wasn't sick, and Megaman was fine, it was obviously something at Sci-Lab that was bothering him, or perhaps something to do with a Net Agent assignment. Deciding that being strait with him would be best in this case she grabbed two fistfuls of his light blue night shirt, pulled him into her and asked.

"Lan, where are you?"

Lan stopped his movements, stilled by her question, he looked up at her with eyes now full of confusion. "I'm right here Maylu." He touched her face again, smoothening her bangs. "Can't you see me?" She turned away from him, "That's not what I mean." "What do you mean?"

She turned her gaze back to him, this time it was her eyes that brought pain. "Lan, what happened to make you so disheartened?" He started at her for a second, not daring to move.

'I knew she would ask that some time….shit…but what to tell her!' Once again Maylu was patient, waiting for him to answer. For a while he just lay there partially on top of her, his nose pressed into her hair again. Then she felt his chest rise an extra length for a deep sigh, shifting his position so that lay beside her now her rapped his arms tightly around her small body.

"Maylu…I…" A minute or more went by before she heard him whisper, "Have you ever seen somebody die?" The question caught her by surprise, and she sat up taking him with her for the most part, moving her hands from his back to his chest. "What?" Lan signed again as he overlapped his her hands with his, keeping them pressed just over his heart. "It's a long story…but the other day somebody hacked into Sci-Lab's main frame and created a dimensional area around the main buildings, at that same time I was off at another site on a Net Agent mission, whoever hacked Sci-Lab also created another digital force field around the zoo. That was the day that they were bringing new recruits fresh from collage like you and me into the labs for their first full day of on-hand experience…Well, by the time I got back to Sci-Lab they had evacuated most of the students into the safe zones and were already starting to take care of the numerous viruses, but they realized that one of them was missing."

This is where Lan paused, hanging his head so that his brown hair covered his eyes. "I went looking for him…turns out he thought he would make a better impression if he crossfussed with his navi and helped take out the viruses. By the time Megaman and I got to him, the only thing we could do was watch as he was impaled by a Bedra virus. We tried to get him help but after we deleted the viruses…he was….it was too…If I hadn't been off playing hero…." She felt his shoulders begin to shake and a spike of pain shot through her heart. She wrapped her arms around him, holding his head to her chest, feeling his hands cling to the edges of her T-shirt.

"Oh Lan, I'm so sorry…but you have to understand that in no way was this your fault." She gently stroked his hair, trying to comfort him. He lifted his head , looking up into her eyes. She let her hands fall to the side of his face and gave him a small smile. "You remember when we were kids and you would run around being so proud of your net saver license? Saving cats out of trees and saving people just because they were there? That was playing hero, what you do is much more important than child's play. If you didn't take down evil navis and dimensional areas right when they appear then it would end up harming more people in the long run. What happened to that boy happened for a reason, if he hadn't learned the rules by now something else was bound to happen to him some time and it might have been worse."

"What could be worse then having your dreams and your life taken from you on your first day?" Lan asked her, his expression holding no emotion or life. Maylu sighed, not knowing what to do with him. "You're doing all you can Lan, you've…how…How can I make you understand that?" Tears began to well in the corners of her eyes and she wished she could reach up to wipe them away before he could see them but it was too late, two small drops of salty water rolled down her cheeks and landed on the light blue sheets that covered their bed.

Again Lan moved her hands, un-cupping them from his cheeks and gave them a tight squeeze. "Maylu it's not just that, what if…what if it was you? What if someday you need me and I'm not there? I mean someday if we-" His next words were lost in her lips. For a moment the tension and the problems of those past few weeks seemed to disappear in that kiss, that moment, in the feel of their two bodies touching. Just for a moment the flame that had been dulled by the winds of depression was re-kindled and the world stopped turning.

When they paused for breath their positions where changed completely, Maylu lay on top of him her head on his chest, her pointer finger twirled in the loose material of his shirt. "Promise me you won't think about it anymore?" She asked sleepily. "Hm…" Was his response, accompanied by his hand rubbing along her shoulder which was now bare since the neckline of her shirt was now tilted to the left and downward for some mysterious reason. "Lan." Maylu wined quietly, nudging deeper into his neck. "M-hm…" Was his last words before she felt his breathing even out and she new he was asleep. 'Well, at least he's finally getting some sleep again.' Maylu thought before she joined him in slumber land.

Cyberworld or…..whatever………………………………….

A muffled scream was heard, echoing inside the digital walls of Maylu and Lan's homepage. Megaman opened his eyes and sat up in one quick motion, drawing out his megabuster. He looked around for an opponent, and the source of the scream but he found none. "Roll?" He called out as he slid off the couch, taking a few cautious steps. "Roll?" He asked, slightly louder then before., panic began to over take him as he realized that she wasn't there 'Please no…'

Hahahahahah I left u w/ a never ending cliff hanger hahahahahahahahahaha…..ha….or whatever…..
