Well, this is the sequel to 'CUTS' and I, again, am listening to Blue Monday. Also, I named this story 'stitches', like I mentioned in the beginning of 'cuts'. That band really rocks! And Jay and Paige and Bobby are so hot. Oh Great Band Orgy, hear my plea! Come out with another C.D! Oh, hey! That rhymed! ( Much thankies go out to Kitsunedevi80 and Alex Warlorn. Devi.could that be Devi from JTHM and I feel sick? Hmmm..

Lain opened her eyes and looked around her. She was completely surrounded by wires. There were other people also. The people looked at her. "Where am I?" She asked. They ignored her. She tried to stand up, but it was as if her legs were cement. She wouldn't give up though. She tried for what seemed like two hours to get to her feet. It might have been two hours. The others watched, nothing more.

Sweating and panting Lain tried one last time to stand. She collapsed. "I'm stuck. I'm going to be sitting here forever." Lain said with tears streaming down her face. Then she felt something on her cheek, a kiss. She looked over and saw Taro (Tado for those who saw the dubbed.) standing next to her. He had a big grin. "Your lucky Lain." "Taro! What are you doing here?" She looked up at him. "I'm here to save you duh!" He leaned down and rested one hand on her knee, moving it side to side a little. Lain slapped the back of his head. "What do you think you're doing?"

"OW! I'm trying to see if other people can move your legs, or if they are permanently stuck." He replied. I wouldn't have minded Taro's hand on my leg. Lain, you are so lucky. "Sorry Taro." She replied. "Uh, Lain. Don't freak out, I'm going to pick you up." He did. He was holding her like a groom holds his bride. AWWW. "O.k. Lain. Lets get you out of here."

"Why are you trying to save me Taro? I committed suicide. I'm sure I deserve this." She had her arms wrapped around his neck so she wouldn't fall. "You don't deserve it. I'll explain when we get back to the world we're supposed to be in." Taro said, carrying Lain through wires, and past other stuck people. Then Lain looked at Taro. "How did you get here? How did you know I was here?" Taro then stopped. "I've been following you around in the wired. I'm 'psycho boy120'. You remember chatting with him? I knew people who went through the same thing you are going through. So I knew what would happen. I found this place through the kni- UH, some links. I knew this was where to find you, so I would come every day."

He looked at Lain with affection. "I don't want this to happen to you. I like you Lain."
"You didn't find this place through links. The knights told you."

"At least you're going back. This is practically the wired version of hell. Do you want to stay? Stay with the damned, be a part of the voices' plan?" Taro was a little ticked, it hinted in his voice. "No, I don't want to stay. Thank you for coming for me Taro." She looked at the ground, thinking about what he said. Then she snapped her head up. "The voices' plan? You mean." "Yeah. The voices you have been hearing. They have some kind of plan. And because they have you, they are stronger than ever."

"Why me? Why do I give them power?" "Well, I don't know. But I do know some of their plan. Almost there." The rest of the walk was pretty much silent. They reached the end. "The 'links' also told me where the exit is." Taro laughed.

Within another fifteen minutes they were at Taro's place. "You should hide out here for a while. The voices won't like you leaving the hell they made." As Taro said this he pulled out a mattress for her. "What do you know about these voices, and their plan?" Lain asked. She was standing by his navi. She wasn't exited to sit again. "Well, I think they are the pissed off souls of past knights. There was a string of suicides of the most powerful knights. I think they're not happy with the way the wired is being used. That's it." Lain just nodded her head. "Taro, is there a certain kind of people the voices target?"

"Yeah. Depressed people, especially people that lost a friend or family member. So, if I were you, I'd check up on Alice, fast." Without saying anything Lain threw on some of Taro's jeans and head out the door. (Lain was just in her nighty, so yeah, jeans would be a good thing. Lest she walks out side and gets raped, and I'm thinking.that's not good.)

END END END END!!
