Disclaimer: Well uh I'd like to say to Michelle Yami that I might do what you ask to another character, but not to the main one... Maybe! But I'm not totally one hundred percent sure at the moment. I guess you'll just have to find out when I finish the story…right? Well anyway…I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. But I do own my own original Character Lain Auska X and most of the plot.

Digimon

II: Back and with a Home

Saga: The Child of Darkness

Lain looked over to her Digimon and then sighed. They had been walking in the same forest for at least two hours buy now, they had seen no trace of life at all, just plants and trees. She then turned her attention back to the way she was headed and then smiled.

"I guess there is an exit to this forest!" Lain cried out happily.

"I just don't see why you didn't have me get you out of this forest on my own. I could have flown," Black WarGreymon said sighing.

"Well it wouldn't be any fun otherwise," Lain replied smiling at him. She began to walk backwards so she could face her Digimon with the smile on her face. "I mean come on! I haven't been on a real adventure for some time now!"

"And what we just went through wasn't enough for you?" her Digimon asked sighing again. "Really Lain Auska X. I always thought more highly of you."

"Hey! Don't use my full name! I'm not in any real trouble! And what happened before wasn't an adventure! That was a life and death situation," Lain told him now putting her hands on her hips and stopped dead in her tracks. "Fine if you want to spoil the fun I'm having then lets get out of this forest and go over to that beach! I haven't been to a beach in so long!"

"Your acting like a kid," Black WarGreymon answered as Lain took off running towards the beach. She passed a small gray TV along the way. He ignored it. The purpose of the TV's being there was a mystery to him and Lain. "And you're supposed to be a mature adult from what you tell me!"

"Well adults can act like kids sometimes if they want too!" Lain cried out over her shoulder giggling. "I mean what would be the fun if I ever grew up!? That wouldn't be me now would it!?"

"I guess your right," her Digimon said smiling at her. "We are going to leave the Digital World so you can return to your World right?"

Lain stopped halfway in the middle of getting her shoes off and then sighed. "I thought I told you."

"Told me what?"

"I may have my Digivice now. But when I return to my World… I'll have nowhere to go. I'm what you would call an orphan."

"Orphan?"

"Your one too in a way," Lain replied as she finished taking off her shoes. Next she took her coat off and then her sword in the blue sheath from her back. "It's when your parents have died or you have been abandoned and have no where to go. They have orphan houses all over the place. But now that I'm eighteen… I'm considered an adult and I can move out and do what I want too!"

"So then what are you worried about?"

"I don't have any money. So what am I supposed to do?"

"I noticed you were wearing the same clothes as that girl you called 'Sora'. How can you be wearing the same clothes if you have been in the Digital World for almost a year now?"

"So ya caught me?" Lain asked laughing a little nervously but still smiled happily at her Digimon. "Before I was here in the Digital World I went to the same school as most of them. But that was a long time ago. So I've had the same uniform since I started the school. As you can tell I need a new one. This one is starting to get faded, and is getting a little to short for me." She laughed again and then got up from the sand she was sitting on.

"So. Will you return to your World then?"

"I don't know. I haven't decided yet. I know that I did not destroy Fukushumon, or any part of the Dark Empire. So I can either, stay here, and suffer through what ever they do to me. Or I can go back to my world and suffer through my life there. Whichever one I choose, I'll still be suffering through. But it doesn't matter, because I deserve it. After what I've done here in the Digital World, I deserve anything bad that is going to happen to me in the future."

"Don't talk like that," Black WarGreymon said walking towards Lain.

Lain took a step toward the ocean that was in front of her and then entered the waters. The small waves would come crashing at her feet and then retreat. The process then would start all over again, never to stop. She looked down at the water and then sighed.

"Why is it that I was the one who was chosen to be the Child of Darkness. What if I don't want to be that anymore? What if I want to be plain ordinary Lain?"

"You can't change your Destiny. Even that is out or reach for you."

"Your right," Lain replied smiling with her back to her Digimon. "But don't get me wrong. I love being here in the Digital World in your company. You're the only one that I can seem to trust anymore Black WarGreymon. Everyone else has used or betrayed me in some sort of way. Ever since I met Fukushumon… stuff has been going down hill for me."

"I'm sorry about all of this. If only you had never come to the Digital World…"

"Hey! What are you sorry for?" Lain asked spinning around to face him. "You have nothing to be sorry for. This is the fate I must go through. It doesn't bother me that much anymore. To tell you the truth I'm sort of getting used to everything that has been happening to me lately. None seems much of a surprise anymore."

"Does it now? Are you still going to peruse the Digidestinds?"

"No way! I am a Digidestind right? I mean I am like the rest of them, just different in the way of life though. I have a Digivice, a crest and a fabulous partner such as yourself! If anything I should join them and get their help to destroy the Dark Empire so the Digital World can be in harmony once again!"

"You would join them?"

"Why not? Don't tell me your scared of them or something. Cause there's nothing to be scared of when you're around me! I am the Child of Darkness! Lain Auska X! The girl that has sworn to keep the Digital World in some sort of harmony! It is my code to balance the good and evil that is happening here!"

Lain ran out of the water and back over to her sword and picked it up. She unsheathed it and then charged at her Digimon playfully.

"Right!?"

Her Digimon didn't give a reply. He just laughed at her and then blocked all of her attacks with a quick movement of his armored hand.

"Yes!" Black WarGreymon cried out to Lain smiling. "You know your acting like a kid again!"

"So what! I'm having fun! Aren't I?"

Her Digimon smiled at Lain as she withdrew her sword from the combat she was in and sheathed it.

Lain walked back over to were her boots and coat lied and then sat down at its side. She sighed and then stuck her sheath, with sword, into the sand beside her.

Her Digimon walked over to her side but did not sit down. He stayed standing and just gazed out at the ocean. His eyes got a little bigger as he saw a black dot out on the horizon get a little bigger. He squinted his eyes to get a better look, but could still see nothing but a black dot.

"What is it?" Lain asked looking up at her Digimon. "Do you see something?"

"Yes. But I don't know what it is. It hasn't come close enough for me to see yet. But I know for a fact that it is some sort of sea Digimon. It's seems to be heading this way also."

"Really?" Lain asked as she started to put on her boots. After she had the last buckle done she grabbed her coat and then stood up. She folded it in her arms and then grabbed her sword. She hooked it around her back and tied it in the front with her leather band. "Do you think it'll attack us?"

"I don't know. I can't tell until it comes closer," Black WarGreymon answered her sternly.

Lain sighed and then tied her coat around her waist and waited patiently with Black WarGreymon for the black dot or Digimon to come into view. It did soon. It was a Digimon, and the Digimon seemed to be loaded with kids, some her age.

"What the!?" Lain cried out running to the waters edge but not daring to go any further in case her boots might get wet. "There are people on that Digimon! Are they the Digidestinds from earlier on today!? And what is that Digimon!?"

"The Digimon is called Zudomon," Black WarGreymon said. "Yes. They are in fact the Digidestinds that we saw earlier. There are a few more with them now. They are coming this way."

"Perfect!" Lain screamed out throwing a fist into the air and then smiled happily. "This is great! Now we don't have to go out and find them! They're coming straight for us!"

"This is good?" Black WarGreymon asked unsure of Lain's answer. "How can that be good? Even when we don't have to go out and find them?"

"You'll see!" Lain cried out happily. She then turned her attention back to the ocean, and over to the Digimon that was carrying the Digidestinds across the sea.

The minutes passed and the group in the ocean seemed to be getting closer. They were close enough now for Lain to make out who they were.

It was the same five that she had met before, and some others now.

The few others contained two boys and two girls.

One of the boys had brownish orange hair. His eyes seemed to be of the same color, his expression towards seeing her was a little surprised and grave. He was wearing a bright orange long sleeve collared shirt; the buttons were undone to reveal a short sleeve yellow shirt underneath. His shorts were brown and his socks were white. His shoes were also brown and he had yellow gloves on his hand. On his back was a laptop computer with a small pineapple symbol on it.

The other boy had sort of long blue hair. It went down to his shoulders. His eyes were also blue and had glasses over them. He was wearing a plain short sleeve blue shirt and black pants. His shoes were black and the watch on his hand was red.

There was only girl on the Zudomon who had bright pink hair. It also had streaks of hot pink and little stars seemed to be plastered all over it. Her eyes were brown and she was wearing a nervous look on her face. The top of her shirt was blue, and the bottom was red. A strip went through the middle of her shirt with a star in the center of it. She was wearing a white skirt and knee high white boots.

The last person that was new on the Digimon had violet hair. Her eyes were also violet and were slightly hidden behind her glasses. Her hair was held back in a red bandana and she also had a confused look on her face. Her shirt was short sleeve, white, and had a picture of the Tokyo Tower on it. She was also wearing a pair of blue pants and black shoes.

Lain looked the new people over with a smile on her face. The Digimon, and the Digidestinds were only a few yards away now. They were approaching fast. She steeped back as they reached the shore. She walked a little closer to her Digimon, as the nine teenagers approached her, with the Zudomon at their side.

"That's her?" the boy with the laptop asked looking over to Tai surprised and confused at the same time. "But she's no older than we are."

"What's that got to do with it? She's pure evil. Age doesn't matter when it comes to being evil," Tai committed over to Izzy, while casting an angry look at Lain. "What do you have to say for yourself Lain X?"

"Your mean," Lain replied crossing her arms over her chest, while turning her back to the group. "I didn't do anything wrong, yet. I mean I saved all of your skins from Fukushumon! And this is how you repay my kindness!? After I have decided to leave the Digital World and never have the thought of killing the Digidestinds ever again!?"

"What?" Matt asked stepping forward. "You're leaving the Digital World?"

"Yeah. I got my Digivice back. Remember? That was the light that appeared and basicly transported all of you too another area. So you wouldn't get hurt?" Lain replied turning around to face them again, now with a frown on her face.

"That song?" Matt asking ignoring what Lain had just said. "What was that song?"

"Oh you heard it?" Lain asked looking at Matt a little surprised. "It's the song of Darkness. It brings me harmony when I'm in need of it."

"Harmony?" Matt asked. "Why would you need harmony?"

"Hey I'm human too ya know," Lain replied sounding a little hurt. "I have feelings. That song comes to me when I'm down. When I'm depressed and can't take life much more."

"You've said to much," Black WarGreymon growled steeping forward. His shadow fell over Lain who sighed at his actions.

"I guess your right," Lain said yawning. "So. Since I'm a Digidestind now, I guess I should know who these new people are."

"Digidestind?" Sora asked looking a little confused. "I thought you said you weren't one?"

"Nah, I was but I wasn't one fully, cause I didn't have my Digivice," Lain answered yawning and then stretched. "So who are the new people.

"Koushiro, Izumi. But I guess you could call me Izzy," Izzy said speaking up first out of the four new comers.

"Mimi Tachikawa," Mimi replied smiling.

"Jyou Kido, or Joe," Joe answered sounding a little nervous.

"And I'm Miyako Inuue, also known as Yolei!" Yolei cried out happily. "So since you're a Digidestind shouldn't you tell us a little about yourself. I mean where you live and stuff?"

"Live?" Lain asked looking a little confused. "I've been stuck in the Digital World for almost a year. I don't have anywhere to call home."

"So your homeless?" Tai asked looking at Lain a little confused. "Your parents couldn't' have forgotten about you. How come you don't go home to them?"

"My…my parents are dead. They died along time ago, when I was young," Lain answered a little grave at the subject. "But don't call me a bum! I'm sure I can find somewhere to live! I mean it can't be that hard! I can get a job, get a place to stay and go to school. It shouldn't be that hard!"

"You get a job with those clothes on?" TK asked looking at Lain with a raised eyebrow. "Tough luck. Your uniforms a bit dirty, don't you think?"

"Hey, stop picking on me!" Lain called out to him frowning. "What is it with people being mean to me today? I mean I did just tell you guys that I have deiced not to kill you all. And now you're picking on me?"

"So you have nowhere to stay?" Kari asked looking at Lain sadly. "No relatives in Highton View Terrace?"

"Most of my families back in Shinjuku. So I got a fat chance," Lain replied laughing a little embarresed. "But I'm sure me and Black WarGreymon can make it out fine!"

"No," Sora replied shacking her head. "I'm not letting you just go out into Japan with no where to stay. I'm sure one of us could let you stay out our house, until you can get a place of your own."

"B-b-but.." Lain said token back at what Sora had just said. "Y-y-you'd be willing to let me stay at your place?"

"No not at my house. Someone's else's," Sora replied laughing a little. "I would let you stay at my house but my mom is a little picky at house guests. She doesn't want them staying for more than a few weeks. And I'm sure you'll need more time to get back on your feet than a few weeks."

"Ya. Your right," Lain said as a small grin spread across her face. "But then again. Who would want someone like me staying at their house?"

"I wouldn't mind," Kari said stepping forward with a grin on her face. "My mom wouldn't mind at all. She might be a little fussy at times with you but, I'm positive that she'll be thrilled to have another girl in the house."

"Oh. Like he don't have enough already!?" Tai cried out looking at Kari a little shocked. "It's just me, you, and mom most of the time! I don't need to be outnumbered anymore! Come on Kari!"

"So that's a no?" Kari asked sounding extremely offended and sad. "But Tai…"

"No. She'll have to stay somewhere else. I wouldn't mind, but it's just that I don't feel like being surrounded by girls," Tai said crossing his arms over his chest. He turned his attention over to Lain and then shrugged. "Sorry."

"Gezz, Tai. I thought you were nicer than that," Matt said laughing.

"And what is it to you Matt?" Tai asked a little annoyed. "Your not thinking about letting her stay with you and your dad. Are you?"

"Why not?" Matt asked. "I mean it might be fun having a girl around once and a while. I mean it's just been me and dad most of the time. But when dad leaves to go to work it gets kind of lonely by yourself."

"That's why they invented TV," Tai said looking at Matt with a stupid look.

"Huh?" Matt asked looking at Tai confused. "What ever Tai. She's staying with me at my place. I got nothing against her, just as long as she doesn't try and kill me and Gabumon. That's all."

"Will you stop that?!" Lain cried out looking at the people around her. "Can we please stop with the fact that I said I was going to kill all of you? It's in the past now and I don't want to bring it up any more! So if I'm staying with Matt at his house for a while then can we get going now?"

"Why are you in a rush?" Izzy asked looking at Lain. "Do you have somewhere important to go or something?"

"Important?" Lain asked on the verge of laughter. "Nah. I just want to get out of the Digital World before Fukushumon tries to come after me again. I didn't kill him and I know he's going to be after me until the day I die."

"You…didn't kill him!?" TK shouted out. "But then what was all that light from your Digivice for?"

"Show," Lain replied laughing a little. "I'm only joking. All that light was there to get you guys out of that place, make him blind, and get me and Black WarGreymon as far away from him as we can."

"Oh," TK said sighing a little. "If he's not dead and this 'Dark Empire' is after you… what are you going to do then?"

"Get away from them," Lain answered shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know. I haven't thought that far ahead yet."

TK shock his head and then laughed at what Lain had said. "No offense or anything. But why are you acting so innocent now? Earlier on today you were all serious and sort of mean."

"Ya noticed?" Lain asked laughing a little embarrassed. "This is my real personality. I used the other two to cover up how I really am. Once you really get to know me I can be sort of…well sweet? Or what ever you want to call it."

"She's a naïve child," Black WarGreymon broke in.

"Hey. Now you're getting on my case too?" Lain asked frowning at him. "And I thought you were supposed to always agree with me and I'm supposed to agree with you!"

"Isn't it my job to protect you? Make sure your not getting yourself into any trouble?" Black WarGreymon asked.

"Yeah, but how am I going to get into trouble when I'm with these guys?" Lain asked looking at her Digimon confused.

"Well when you get around Davis…" Kari began and then trailed off. "Black WarGreymon! Keep a good eye on her! Not like you already haven't been, just don't let her out of your site in the Digital World."

"I haven't been," Black WarGreymon replied now crossing his arms over his chest. "Can we leave the Digital World now? To your World?"

"Your in a hurry too?" Yolei asked confused.

"I want her out of danger," Black WarGreymon answered simply. "I want her somewhere safe, where she won't get into trouble."

"Well then! Lets leave already! Now that we've all decided were I'll be staying at for a while, why not leave!?" Lain cried out happily.

Kari laughed at Lain good naturally and then sighed. "I'll try to contact the others again. I'll tell them were going to leave the Digital world and get back into the real world. They should be coming back with us too."

"You mean there's more Digidestinds?" Lain asked looking a little shocked. "I thought this was it. How many more!?"

"Well it all depends," Joe replied. "If you're talking about in Highton View Terrace, there's thirteen total. And there's a lot more around the world. There's a load of us! We just don't know them all."

"Wha? Really," Lain said looking totally shocked and blank at the same time. "I…really? This is weird…"

"I've gotten a hold of Davis," Kari said getting in between the conversation. "He's opened up a Digital Port in his area. He just left to our World too."

"Digital Port?" Lain asked sounding confused. "What's that?"

"It's what we use to get out of the Digital World," Izzy answered. "Haven't you noticed TV sets all around the Digital World? We use those to get into and out of the Digital World."

"What!? No way!" Lain yelled out totally shocked. "And to think I could have left the Digital World at any time! That's a shocker… no matter. There's a TV set not to far away from here. It's just outside of that forest!" Lain pointed over to where she had exited the forest.

"What luck!" Tai cried out as he began to run over to the direction Lain was pointing in. She sighed as the others followed looking happy. Then her and her Digimon chased after them.

Soon they all stood in front of the TV. Lain looked at them all confused and curious as to what they had to do it to make it transport them to her World.

"So. What do you have to do?" Lain asked looking at the TV with more confusion.

"Hold out your Digivice to it and say Digi-port open!" Kari cried out to Lain happily. "Now!"

"Digi-port open!" they all chanted as the TV switched on. A bright light emerged from it and engulfed the teenagers and the two Digimon.

Lain looked around a little socked. She wasn't in the Digital World anymore. In fact she seemed to be in someone's house. Her eyes got huge as she realized that Black WarGreymon couldn't fit into this room. She cried out and then looked around for her Digimon. She didn't find him, but instead found an In-Training form of him.

"Black WarGreymon!?" Lain called out grabbing him. "What happened to you!? You got smaller!"

"He, De-Digivolved!" a new voice cried out sounding a little muffled. "Do you think you could all get off of us!?"

"What?" Lain asked looking confused. She gazed down at her feet and noticed she was standing on a pile of all of the Digidestinds. "How did I get here?" She steeped off of all of them and stood over in a corner and watched them untangle. There were now three new faces among the group. All of the new faces were boys.

The only boy in the room with short spiky brown hair, and blue goggles on his head was looking at Lain as if transfixed on something. He was wearing a stripped white and blue shirt, over the shirt was a tan vest, with the collar flipped up around his neck. His long shorts were brown and his long socks were white. His eyes were brown and looked as though they wouldn't stop starring at Lain.

The second new face had long blue hair also. His eyes were a sad blue and he was looking at Lain as with a little interest. He was wearing a long sleeve black shirt and brown cargo pants. His socks were black and he had a black watch on his hand.

The last person was the youngest out of all the Digidestinds. He had brown hair that was cut into a bowl hair but. His eyes were green and he was looking at Lain confused and surprised. His short sleeve shirt was tan and was outlined in a darker tan. His pants were black and he had blue socks on his feet.

"Uh…hi? I'm Lain Auska X," Lain said bravely while looking a little embarresed. "I guess I'm a part of your group now because I'm a Digidestind…"

"What!?" the goggle headed boy cried out looking shocked. He then pointed at her while gapping in aw. "Another one!? Where do you guys keep coming from!? Is there like a tree in the Digital World that you fall from or something!?"

"I…uh…what?" Lain asked looking at the boy totally confused. She then turned her attention over to Matt, still looking confused. "Is he okay?"

"Just ignore him," Yolei replied waving the subject away. "He's called Daisuke Motomiya, or Davis."

"Motomiya? As in Jun Motomiya?" Lain asked cringing at the name. "The girl who washes her clothes once a month!?"

"Why does everyone bring up my sister!?" Davis cried out sounding extremely annoyed. "Can we stop talking about her!?"

"Sorry," Lain muttered, while bowing.

"Don't waste your appoligy on him," Yolei replied. "The other two are Ken Ichijouji and Iori Hida, or Cody."

"Hi," the two boys muttered shyly. "Nice to meet you."

"Where are we?" Lain asked looking around the room. "Whose house are we at?"

"Mine," Matt replied speaking up. " My dad is still at work so we thought it best to come here. Everyone else's parents are at home, and it would look a little supisious to have the whole lot of us come over and then suddenly disappear."

"You mean to tell me that your parents don't know about the Digital World or Digimon?" Lain asked looking at Matt blankly. "Unbelieveable."

"Well yeah," Tai replied sounding a little embarresed. "I don't want to cause my mom any more worry than she's already got."

"Oh," Lain replied. "What are we doing now?"

"Getting this group of people out of my house before my dad comes home!" Matt shouted out in a panic. "Like now! My dad's going to be home in five minutes and you guys are still in my house!" Matt then began to shove everyone out of the room besides Lain and TK. "OUT! HURRY! I'll call you latter alright!?"

"Geez," Davis replied looking a little shocked as he followed the others to the door. "I didn't even get to know her that well…" He grinned over in Lain's direction and then exited the room followed by a waving Mimi.

"He's a little strange…" Lain replied trailing off. "So how come you didn't shove TK out of the room with the rest of the crowd?"

"I stay here on weekends," TK answered for his brother. "Since our parents…their divorced."

"Oh…" Lain replied looking at TK a little worried. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

"It's alright. You didn't know. Anyways…you would have found out sooner or latter," TK replied grinning at her to show that he was okay. "Matt? What are you going to do about the problem that you have created?"

"What problem?" Matt asked looking at his brother confused. "When did I create a problem?"

"In the Digital World," TK answered. "You said that Lain could stay here with you and dad. And what do you think dad is going to say about this?"

"I…err…okay?" Matt asked looking a little embarrassed, worried, and sad. "I didn't really…think that far ahead…"

"I'm in a load of trouble…" Lain said smacking herself in the head with her free hand. "I knew this was too simple. There's always cons when it comes to this stuff too."

"Hey!" Matt called to her. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure you can stay here!"

"Who's staying here?" a voice called out when the door opened. "If you're talking about TK…then he can stay. Hasn't he always been able too?"

"It's…err…not me dad," TK replied. "It's this girl… her names Lain X."

"Girl?" Mr. Ishida said sounding a little shocked and confused. "What do you mean by girl?"

"Well we met her not to long ago in the Digital-," TK was cut off with Matt steeping on his foot.

"What TK meant was that we met her at school a few days ago. She was supposed to be staying at Sora's house but Sora's mom had a change of plans," Matt replied laughing a little scared, since he was telling a lie to his father. "And I was thinking since it's just usually me and you most of the time… that it might be fun to have a girl around the house. Since most of the time when you're at work… I'm home alone. And it gets a little boring."

"And you're asking?" Mr. Ishida said now taking a seat at the table that was in front of him.

"Cansheliveherewithus!?" Matt called out in a hurry and then gulped.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you. You were talking to fast," Mr. Ishida said looking at his son and then narrowed his eyes. "You weren't hoping that she could live here with us? Were you?" Matt nodded his head for a yes and then gulped again. "No."

"What!?" Matt called out looking at his dad shocked. "Come on dad! She hasn't got anywhere else to go!"

"She can live a home with her parents. She doesn't need to stay here," Mr. Ishida replied frowning at his son.

"My parents are dead," Lain answered. "So I'm basicly all alone, here in Japan."

"Really?" Mr. Ishida said changing his look from a frown to pity. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright," Lain said shrugging the subject off. "But I have no where else to stay though. I can't stay at Sora's, or Kari's house."

"What about that one Yolei girl?" Mr. Ishida asked frowning, while trying to think some more about the subject. "Or how about Mimi?"

"Mimi lives in America. And Yolei can't hold any more people in her house. She already has two sisters," TK answered. "Come on dad! It's just for the school year! It won't kill you!"

"What are you in? Like twelfth grade?" Mr. Ishida asked. Lain nodded her head. "So you'd just be staying in this house until the school year was over?"

"Yes," Lain replied. "If you'll let me."

"I…uh…err…fine," Mr. Ishida replied standing up. "But I don't want any problems from either of you!" He was now pointing at both his sons. "If they bother you then I want you to report them to me."

"I…okay?" Lain replied managing to hold back a laugh at the shocked faces of Matt and TK.

"So she's going to stay here?" Matt said getting over his shock and then smiled. "Thanks dad!"

"Ya your welcome," Mr. Ishida replied yawning. "We'll I'm headed off for bed then. I got an early shift this morning. Oh and tomorrow Matt…get her a new uniform and some clothes to wear. I'm sure she'll want to change."

"Yes," Matt replied then looked at Lain with a mischievous grin.

Mr. Ishida turned his back to them and headed for his room and then stopped dead. He turned around and then looked at Lain closely. He got huge eyes a minute latter. "What the hell is she doing with a katana!?"
