Author's note: I started this story a few months ago and I didn't know how to further develop the plot so I ended up forgetting it. I still don't know how to develop this so if anyone wants to take over this story, it's fine with me. But, the pairing has to be ShinoxHaseo since...well I like it and there aren't enough of this paring. Ü
Enjoy the kind of preview! ^^
Summary: What would The World be like if Shino was never PK-d by "Tri-Edge"?

Shino stood in front of the huge double doors of Hulle Granz Cathedral. Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground…this is where she vowed to wait for Ovan with Haseo…and now Ovan was inside waiting for her.
She took a deep breath and reached to open the door when…her vision went black.
W-what?, Shino Nanao eyes widened as she took off her VR goggles. How did this happen?
Then she looked around her crowded apartment and realized that there was a blackout. She looked outside the window of her bedroom and saw that the whole city was blacked out except for a few buildings like the hospital.
Shino stared at the sky and started thinking. What if Ovan isn't there when I get back? What about-
Suddenly, her cellphone rang. She immediately went looking through the small room and it wasn't that hard to find it since it was one of the only sources of light as it flashed. She picked it up and looked at the name.
Ryou Masaki. Who is this? She thought. Then, she remembered that was Haseo's name in the real world and hesitantly pressed the accept button.
"Hello?"
"Hi Shino…umm…this is…Ryou…or Haseo…" He sounded kind of nervous.
"Yes, I know who you are, Ryou…or would you like me to call you Haseo?" Shino smiled as she said this.
"If you're used to calling me Haseo then that's fine…umm…By the way, are you okay?"
"Yes, why'd you ask?"
"Well, Tabby said that you were acting weird and I was worried." Shino smiled
"Thanks for caring, Haseo."
There were a few seconds of silence before Shino heard Haseo's voice again. It wasn't too deep nor too high pitched…just right.
"It looks like it will be a while before the power comes back on." He started. "So…can you tell me about yourself?"
"But, you already know me, Haseo." Shino laughed
"Yeah, but is it wrong to know more?" He asked teasingly
"I guess not." She replied.
They spent the night telling each other stories of their real life until the electricity came back at 3 a.m.
