Chapter 4-Cyberia
It was 11 o'clock at night when Lain woke up from a nightmare. When she woke up though she found out it wasn't a nightmare it was real. She was stuck in the Wired. She looked around not know what to do. She was so confused. Why was she here?
Lain woke up the next morning ready to go to school. She was thinking about what happened last night when she was in the Wired. Who was that boy? How did she get sucked into the Wired anyways? She sure didn't know. What she did know was that she knew where to find him. The problem was is how was she going to talk to him with out him freaking out.
Threw out the day Lain thought about what she was going to say to this guy. She didn't even know him. She just watched him play his game on the computer. He helped her get away from certain deaths. Why did he help her? Was there something that he wanted from someone that the thought he could get it easily from? Because if that was so that wasn't how Lain was like. Maybe he had seen her before. Oh well, she will just have to tell tonight when she goes to the club.
The name of the club is Cyberia. It was a type of techno place where kids could go and dance or just to hang out. Taro was sitting with Mimi and his other friend Tai. Taro really didn't know why he helped Lain. He had seen her around the Wired before, but never really talked to her. When he walked into the club that afternoon he knew that he didn't want to tell Mimi what he did the night before. So, he sat down next to Tai and looked at the dancers.
Taro was looking around because he figured that someone was going to show up tonight that he wanted to see. And sure enough he was right. She walked after he came back form the bar to get a coke for everyone at the table. When he sat back down, Lain spotted him instantly. They made eye contact. She didn't look like what he thought she would look like. The night before she was in a tight black skirt, a dark blue tank top and a leather jacket. But now she was wearing something that a little girl would wear.
He stared at her as she walked toward his table, still looking deep into his eyes. He almost hid under the table because he knew Mimi would throw a fit. Mimi looked at him, " What's the matter with you?" He looked away from Lain and at her with a evil glare.
Finally he said, " Nothing absolutely nothhh….". He heard a little cough as if someone was trying to get his attention. It was Lain. Mimi almost jumped out of her chair to punch her. He looked at her with a big smile and said, " May I help you?" Lain looked at him and nodded. Taro looked at Tai so that he would hold down Mimi if Taro decided to make a move on Lain. Tai nodded at him so that he could go.
Lain and Taro left the table and went into a dark corner. "What do you want?", he said as he put a toothpick in his mouth. Lain looked down and whispered, " I just wanted to know why you helped me last night I don't understand why you would do that for me. Why?"
"Because I can. And I was in the middle of my game and it's a sorta game that you just go around and kill everything that you want. You where in my way and I had to get you out of there. Why do you care if I did or not? Did you get home ok? I mean it looked like you were really scared." He looked at her as she held her head down so that she didn't have to look at him in the eye.
She looked up and whispered, " Because no one has ever wanted to help me before. My friends don't even really want to help me anymore because I am so into my computer now. Last night was weird I never want to get stuck in the Wired again. I just sort of woke up in the middle of your game. All I remember is you saving me and me going back to sleep and waking back up in my own bed."
He looked at her and he really didn't know what to say anymore. He smiled at her. She made no expression in her face. She looked so sad and not wanting to live. He thought for a second on how he could change that look of dullness on her face. He kissed her really fast on the lips and ran his fingers threw her short hair. Her face turned into a smile.
He whispered, " Is that all that you wanted to know if so I would like to ask you something."
"What is that?" The look on her face scared him a little bit but that didn't bother him.
"Would you go out on a date with me? As a pay back for me saving your life? I mean not now, but later when you're the other you. The one that I saw last night in the Wired."
She looked at him and nodded. "Ok, good so maybe Saturday night I'll meet you here and we can go anywhere. Don't forget I want to go out with the other you not the you that you are now." She nodded again and then walked away.
He looked at her struck by love. He walked back to his table as she left knowing he was going to get it from his little ticking time-bomb. Mimi looked at him stern as he sat back down. "So, did you ask her out too?" she asked after he just sat down. He looked at her and shook his head and drank his coke that he got earlier.
Lain was walking home alone and couldn't wait to get home and go to sleep. This time she would remember to shut off her computer this time. But then again maybe she wouldn't.
