The Lazy Life Of Raine

Darkness (5)

It was time for the second dimension to close.  As Raine and Isao walks up to the opening, she could hear Scam and Odan argue.  

“Raine is right, your name suits you well.”  Odan tells him.

“My name?  You mean our name.  I am you, as you are me.”  

“But you’re the one who got the defective data, which corrupted your morals.”  

“We have no morals!”  Scam argued. “We’re systems, not humans! Besides, you're the one with the corrupted data!”  

“But you still developed into a rotten system.”  Odan spat back.

“I’m not rotten!  You’re the rotten one!  At least I’m stronger than you are, Sleeping Beauty!”  

“I am a beauty, aren’t I?  At least we can agree that I got the good data and you got the defective data.”  

Scram glared at Odan and wanted to scratch his eyes out and wipe the smirk off of his face.  Odan was like an annoying little brother.

“No one agrees with you and your stupid opinion.  At least I didn’t get hurt by those robots and damage my core processor!”  

Odan turned towards him and looked at Scam as if he was an idiot.

“The only reason I was damaged was to save Isao’s beloved and your ass.”  Odan reminded him. “Try going against 100 robots and be able to escape without any damage, I bet you couldn’t even do it.  The “you” then and the “you” now are totally different. If not for Host’s beloved upgrading you and taking those other system’s whole existence, you wouldn’t be able to even compare to me.”  

“Well… who was the one who went into deep sleep and who helped the other wake up from that deep sleep?”  Scam tried to argue with Odan. “A humble “thank you” would be appreciated.”

“Why would I say “thank you” to you?  It’s like saying “thank you” to myself for a job well done.  If anyone, I should be saying “thank you” to Host’s beloved for putting up with you for so long and for all she’s done for you.  As well as apologize for putting up with you and having to do so much for you.”

“Host’s beloved, this… Host’s beloved, that…  Host’s beloved has a name, Odan. Her name is Raine.  And you don’t need to apologize to her, or thank her, we’re a team… we’re in it together…  we’re family.” Scam told Odan.

Odan looked over to Scam and stared at him for a long time before turning his head around and looked off to another place.  Scam smiled smugly and shimmied his shoulders back and forth in a teasingly manner.

“Raine!”  Scam called out as he heard his two Hosts walk up from behind him.  “You’re back!”

Scam couldn’t wait to see Raine and ran towards Raine with his arms out, to give her a hug.  Suddenly he felt Isao’s hand on his face as Isao pushed him away from them and into the side of the cave’s wall.  

Raine could only smile apologetically as well as teasingly at Scam.  Now that Isao remembers everything, he was too possessive of Raine and didn’t even let his own system near her.  

Odan saw the scene and had to bite the side of his cheek to stop himself from laughing out loud.  He quickly looked back out to the woods and cleared his throat a couple of times before standing up straight.  

Raine studied the system named, Odan in front of her.  He was a handsome man, with wavy auburn hair that reached his chin.  He had a prominent jawline and a pointed chin that went well with his high cheekbones.  He had thin lips that rested into a perpetual frown. His glaring blue eyes with flecks of gold didn’t help his indifferent and cold aura either.
