Author's Note: Unfortunately, I do not own dot.hack//sign. I wish I did. I
also wish I owned the series on DVD so I could watch anytime I wanted and
not have to wait until Saturday night at 1am for Cartoon Network to show
it. I don't own Cartoon Network, either. This story incorporates characters
from dot.hack//sign and dot.hack//infection/mutation. I haven't gotten past
the second game, so if I'm not true to storyline, shoot me. I'm trying my
best.
Warning: This story contains Shonen-ai (or however it is spelled). In layman's terms, male/male relationships. So far, I haven't decided to make it any more so.
Author's Note 2: I'm not far enough in my Japanese language studies to know if I'm using certain words right. If not, please do forgive me and correct me where needed.

Chapter 1
"Kite-kun! Are you alright?"
"He's breathing, that's as much as I can tell."
"Oh, I knew we weren't ready for this! We're only level 51 here! And here we are, sitting in the middle of a level 65 field..."
"Elk-san, stop complaining. Just help me get him to waken."
"Kite-kun, wake up! Please awaken, please!"
Slowly Kite's eyes opened and he took in his surroundings, mostly the faces of Elk and Blackrose staring down into his face, and being incredibly invasive to boot, "I'm up, I'm up. What happened?"
Blackrose straightened up and sighed, "Let's see. You data-drained that bug, and then went in for the killing stroke. But he backhanded you and sent you over here. We beat him, luckily, and came to see you. You've been out for several minutes."
Kite let out a short gasp, blinking, "I have? It felt like ages..."
"How did you pass out, anyways?" Elk wondered, "I didn't know that was programmed into 'The World'."
Kite unconsciously rubbed at his wrist where the data-bracelet was, "Somehow, I think it was my bracelet. Ever since I got it I've been feeling everything that has happened to me..."
Blackrose paced back and forth for a bit, thinking about the things that have happened. Quite for several minutes, she suddenly spoke, "That's gotta be it. Because I feel things too whenever I'm around you." Such as a crush? She thought silently.
Elk nodded in agreement.
Kite thought some more on the subject then looked around the field. He noticed the he could see the encoding of the trees and flowers, and of the sky, something he hadn't seen before, "Something tells me it would be foolhardy to go into the dungeon... Let's gate out."
"Roger wilco."

Now knowing that they were in over their heads, the party warped back to the Lambda server root town and went out for some trading. Everyone, that is, except for Kite.
"I need some alone time, guys. Gomen."
With that, he waded into the Chaos Gate and exited in shining circles.
"Alone time?"

Kite looked around his room, after taking off his VR helmet and stretching, and sighed. He felt sore all over, a new development from playing "The World". He yawned, and moved to go to sleep when he heard the tell-tale chime of Altimit telling him he had mail.
From: Blackrose Subject: Murder?
"Kite-kun, I just heard from a friend that another person has been found in a comatose state from playing 'The World'. I've heard of several other than Orca, but this one's different. She actually exists inside the game while her body is no longer connected to the system. I've only heard of one other with this kind of condition, by name of Tsukasa. Even stranger yet, it seems a player did this to her! Get on as fast as you can to investigate this occurrence with me.
See you!"
Kite re-read the message several times and sighed, knowing he had more work to do. Trying to save Orca, trying to find out more about Aura, and now this strange girl in a coma... He looked around and then high-tailed it to his kitchen to grab a coke. It seemed like it would be a long night...
