XI: Prophecy

Saga: The Child of Darkness

Lain gazed across the couch slyly at Matt who was starring at the TV while clicking the remote to change the channels simultaneously.

"Nothing…" he paused to look at the channel and then changed it. "Nothing… Nothing…. Nothing! God how comes there's nothing on TV today!?"

"It's Saturday night, they expect all the kids to be out pillaging the town and neighboring towns… What else?" Lain asked laughing a little at what she had said. "And why was it again that you rejected going with Allen and the others tonight? So what if they hadn't invited me along with you guys? I mean shouldn't you go out and do things by yourself too? Without me tagging along?"

"Didn't want to," Matt answered her, but just a little too quickly. "Besides… What's wrong with hanging out with you?"

"Nothing," Lain replied sighing. She looked at the clock, which was on the microwave and then sighed. "It's only like seven…. Can we go out and do something? TV doesn't seem to be working! Lets go and get dinner or something! TK!? TK!? Where is you kid!? Get in here! We're going to dinner! I'm buying!"

Matt looked at her stupidly and then stood up. "Yeah right, if anyone ever found out that you bought dinner for the both of us, they wouldn't leave it along. I'm buying…"

"Hell no your not!" Lain replied looking at him funny. "You've done enough for me as it is."

"So what!? I can do something more!" Matt shouted at her a little angry at how she was protesting against him buying her, TK, and himself dinner.

TK walked into the room and starred at Lain and Matt confused. They were still arguing with each other as to who was going to buy dinner for the three of them. He sighed and then cleared his throat, trying to get their attention. It didn't work. He rolled his eyes and then drew in a deep breath.

"HEY!"

Lain's attention snapped over to TK as she had her hands on the collar of Matt's shirt.

Matt flipped his head over to his brother, his hands in Lain's hair, as if he had been pulling it or something.

"What?" Matt asked letting go of Lain finally, though she still had his collar.

Rolling his eyes again he continued. "No need, dad's already ordered pizza for us. He called a few minutes ago, and said he ordered for the three of us, since he figured there was nothing in the fridge even worth trying to salvage."

"What and he doesn't think I can cook?" Matt asked looking at his brother a little hurt. "I thought the three of you claimed that I was a good cook, or at least that's what I thought…"

"Well then I guess you thought wrong!" Lain said laughing at him.

He shot her a nasty look.

"Just joking, jezz… When are you gunna stop taking me so seriously?" Lain asked looking at him a little confused. "I'm not a mean person if you haven't figured that out yet…"

Matt just drew in a deep breath and then let it out a second latter. "Enough. I don't want to fight with you right now…"

Lain just cocked her head to the side and then sighed. "Sorry then. Didn't mean to try and start anything with you…" She turned back over to TK. "So now that we have managed to gain food… What are we going to do?"

"If you want I can call some of the gang and ask them to come over?" TK suggested.

"Don't ask Davis!" Lain shouted out nearly attacking TK. "I don't want to spend the rest of tonight with him trying to hit on me every second! Not a girls best dream at the moment!"

"Heh, could have guessed that… And besides, he'd probably eat everything in sight, knowing him…" TK said rolling his eyes. "How's about Kari and Tai?"

"Fine with me," Lain said yawning and then went back over to the couch and sat down. "Just so long as neither of them eats everything…"

"What are we eating anyway?" Tai asked stepping into the doorway and started hopping around until he got his shoes off. Kari followed him shortly afterwards.

"Don't you two ever thinking about knocking?" Matt asked looking over in Tai's direction a little ungratefully. "And how did you know we were going to call you to come over?"

"You were?" Tai asked looking at Matt a little amazed and then a smile broke out. "Aww your so sweet Matt! Come here and give me a hug!"

"Away Taichi Yagami!" Matt shouted out as he pointed his hand in the opposite direction of where he was standing, which happened to be over by Lain.

"So Lain wants a hug?" Tai asked looking a little confused. "And don't use my Japanese name please…" He then smiled over in Lain's direction.

"Hell no boy!" Lain shouted out cringing. "I don't want you giving me a hug! It's like a disease Tai! Hugs are contagious and I could break out into the hives and like die or something along the lines of that!"

"Just come here!" Tai shouted out chasing after her.

"Get away from me!" Lain screamed out looking horrified in his direction. She looked around nervously from side to side, deciding which way she should try and make a break for it. To her right lied Matt, he would be of no help for sure to her, most likely hold her down for Tai. But to her left laid the door. The exit, her sanctuary.

Looking back at Tai she made a quick dash for the door, with a huge smile on her face. She began to laugh happily at her thoughts of escape from them all, to only be sent hurdling to the ground. She screamed out and looked up at the figure that had smashed into her.

"TAKERU ISHIDA!" Lain screamed out angrily. "Get off of me now! What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

"But you were trying to run off on us," TK protested. But a huge smile came across his face, a kind of frightening one. "But you look so cute when you're scared for you life."

Lain froze at what he has just said, her face then went bright red. "Ta-Ta-Takeru!"

TK grinned at his brother happily as Kari laughed at what was happening. "To late Matt. I've claimed poor Lain from you."

"You shut-up!" Matt screamed out a little angrily, his face went a little red also. "J-just get off of her already! I'm sure she's not enjoying this!"

Lain blinked at him a little surprised at how much offense he was taking to this. Even she knew TK was joking around with her, just to get her embarrassed.

TK got off of her and then stood up straight. A satisfactory smile spread across his face. "Someone's a little jealous."

"Of what!" Matt shouted out. His hands turning into fists and his face went redder. "If you're talking about Lain…"

"Heh, never said I was," TK replied yawning. "So…" he turned his attention over to the now shocked looking Tai and the still giggling Kari. "What exactly do you guys want to do now that your over?"

"Well for one we're not going to bother Lain anymore," Lain muttered angrily. "Let's all take fun in watching TV… Okay!?"

"Nothing good on, I've mentioned this before," Matt said rolling his eyes at her. "Something else then?" He looked at Tai and then over to TK and Kari who suddenly were now standing next to each other. TK blushed a little and then coughed, trying to advert his attention away.

"Well… uh, I guess we could always like go for a walk or something?" Tai asked, trying to sound suggestful.

"It's eight o'clock at night Tai," Lain said starring at him a little stupidly. "I'm not getting kidnapped."

"By who exactly?" Matt asked rolling his eyes again at her. "Who's gunna want to kidnap a sword tot' in kid?"

Lain opened her mouth in protest but was stopped by a sudden knock on the door. Causing TK and Kari to jump in surprise.

"Pizza?" Tai asked blinking a little in surprise also. "Finally the food gets here!" A happy smile spread across his face.

Lain chewed on her pizza little angry, throwing nasty looks at Matt every now and then. He was trying to start something with her tonight, and she new it. Usually it was her, but now him!? What was the world really coming to!?

"Alright!" Matt cried out angrily. He stood up, controlling himself from exploding. "What's with all the nasty looks all of a sudden Lain!? What is it that I've done so horrible to effect you so much!?"

"You were only being mean to me earlier!" Lain shot back at him, now finished eating. She stood up also and then got right up in his face. "I'm the one who should be asking that question. It's much different when I'm being a jerk towards you… But you being one towards me? Now that's just weird."

"Is it now?" Matt asked raising an eyebrow at her. "I think I have the right to be a jerk. Don't you?" He turned to Tai and the others who were watching the two of them in a sort of trance.

"How about none of us are mean to anyone?" Kari suggested, looking around hopefully. "Please?"

"Agreed," Lain said stepping away from Matt. She sat back down in her chair and sighed. "What are we going to do now?"

"Don't know," Tai said sighing as he fell back into his chair more, looking extremely bored. "To bad Sora wasn't here… Might have been more fun…"

"Why? So the two of you can make out all night?" Matt asked laughing at his friend. "If my dad walked in on the two of you doing that you'd never be aloud back in this house while she was here ever again."

"Shut your mouth," Tai said frowning at his friend. "What about you and Lain? Your dad says nothing about it."

"What about Lain? There's nothing going on between the two of us…" Matt said looking at him confused. "What would give you that idea?"

"No idea…" Tai said trailing off. He looked over to TK slyly and then over to Lain who was starring at him totally blank.

"What ever you're thinking, drop it now," Lain begun leaning forward her hands gripping on to the front of her chair. "Because I don't like it. And when I don't like something, no one else is going to like it either."

Kari looked at her a little curious and confused while TK sighed and wrapped his arms around the back of his chair.

"How do you know we won't like it?" Matt asked raising an eyebrow at her. "You don't speak for the rest of us you know…"

"Trust me on this one. You are not going to like it," Lain replied not taking her eyes off of Tai. She then stood up from where she was sitting and tucked her chair in.

"Where are you going all of a sudden?" TK asked her.

"For a walk…"

"What about the kidnappers?" Matt asked laughing.

"Screw the kidnappers. I need to take a walk. That absurd look on Tai's face is starting to get to me," Lain replied frowning in Tai's direction as she begun to put on her shoes.

Matt sighed and then got up with her. "I'm coming too. Can't let you walk out there alone…"

"Don't forget me," Tai started standing up. "I can't leave the two of you alone together. No telling what Matt might do to poor Lain here." TK laughed in the background. Tai stopped and then turned around facing Kari and TK. "If I catch you doing anything to my sister here… You're dead Takeru Ishida."

TK gulped and then put a nervous smile on his face. "Wouldn't dream of it…"

Lain slammed the door behind her. Fuming a little. Stupid boys, always insisting on coming with her, no matter where she went. When was she going to get some time to herself!? After all she was only just taking a walk… Nothing more.

"Wait up Lain…" Matt said running to her side followed by a now aggravated Tai.

Lain stopped walking and turned around to face him, sighing. "Hurry it up then…"

Matt looked at her a little confused as he reached her side, Tai on her other. "What's eating you?"

"Nothing, absolutely nothing!" Lain shot back at him, a little hysterical. "I'm fine! Just perfectly fine!" She looked at her feet as her hands turned to fists at her side and continued on walking.

Tai looked over in Matt's direction, his expression asking Matt if he could ask her more about what was happening.

Matt shook his head and continued on walking with the two of them in silence.

Lain starred at her feet blankly and sniffed a little. She felt like crying, but she held herself back from doing. Breaking down in front of these two was now exactly her idea of a fun filled night. Sniffing again she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes huge, looking around frightened of something. Something that seemed to be invisible.

It took a second for Matt to realize Lain had stopped, but when he did he turned around to face her. Tai at his side.

She was looking at the two, completely and utterly horrified. As if she had just seen millions and millions of people get slaughtered right before her eyes. As though something so horrible had happened, it could not be explained.

Lain gasped out and started to back up a little. Her hands shooting to her face, covering her nose and mouth.

"Lain!?" Matt called out frightened. "Lain!? What is it!? What's wrong!?"

"Can't you smell it!?" Lain screamed out coughing a little. "Blood! It smells like fucking BLOOD!" She collapsed to her knees and begun to cough more.

Tai looked at her a little concerned for her safety, as though he thought she had gone mad. As though she had snapped from all the pressure she seemed to be under.

Matt rushed over to her side and put his hand on her back, his other trying to get her face into his view.

"Lain!? I don't smell anything! I don't even know what you're talking about!" Matt shouted out her.

"Make it go away!" Lain screamed out him. She was now crying. She had started crying. She'd promised not to cry ever again, but yet here she was. Crying. "Just make it go away Matt! I can't take this! I can't take this smell any longer! MAKE IT GO AWAY!"

She jerked herself out of Matt's grasp and got onto her feet. No more than a second before she had gotten to her feet was she smacked in the side of the face by Tai who was looking at her a little angry and scared at the same time.

Lain started breathing more heavily and pulled her hands away from her face. She had stopped crying and was looking around where she was standing a little scared. As though she had no clue as to what was happening to her.

"I'm sorry," Tai muttered to her. "I couldn't think of another way to calm you down."

Lain just starred around blankly and then opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was not her own though, it sounded to far of, to hallow to be her. Dead like. It spoke out though, even if it was not in it's own body. "Courage will become silent. Light will fade away. Hope will start to falter. Sincerity will cry. Love will become confused. Knowledge will suffer. Reliability will take a stand. Kindness will return to the Darkness. Destiny will make a wrong decision. Creed will take its rightful place. Harmony will lose herself. Friendship will die. Darkness will come to power."

Lain let out a huge gasp, as though she were being reborn. Her eyes fell dark and she collapsed to the ground. Leaving Tai and Matt looking at her shocked.

This was just too weird. Everything had started to go up hill again for the digi-crew… But now this? This was just too weird.

            "What do you thinks wrong with her?" Tai asked looking scared. "What did she mean by all the crests?"

            "It was prophecy…" Matt breathed out shaking. "It was a horrible prophecy…"

End, end. Tried my best here. Hope you liked!
