RAWR! HEELLLOOOOO Megaman archive explorers! You ready for the next installment of Project: Sharo? Neither am I! lol, but in all seriousness, I want to heartily apologize for both the horrible lack-of-plot in A Lycanthrope Christmas and for the terrible attitude I took while writing that story. I am so sorry I yelled at you guys for not voting on the poll, yeah, it slightly annoyed me, but it did not warrant me yelling at you. Perhaps having an actual plot struggle will make up for it? Let's see, when we last saw everyone, (btw, let's pretend A Lycanthrope Christmas never happened, I'll have a better Christmas fic for you guys next year.) Chaula and Raika just got together as a couple. In this next episode, some old friends of Lan pay Dentech a visit, which forces Raika to leave his werewolf lover to assist them. After a brief conversation with Nylorac-chan aka Midnight-Lite C.T., I have decided to go ahead and make my lemon story sometime after this. I was originally going to put it in the story, but I decided against it since this story is essential to my plot and the lemon isn't. Anyway, to recap, Chaula and Raika confessed their love to each other after Raika saves Chaula from an evil werewolf who attempted to rape her. In this story, it's time for a little action when old friends decide to pay Lan and his friends a visit. Let's begin. ^_^

All was quiet in the city of Dentech as humans and net navis alike slept in the dark of the night. They were unaware as something unheard of and evil took place. A shadowy figure snuck in undetected into the servers of BlazeQuest industries and broke through a massive firewall to get at just one case of data. The shadowy figure chuckled malevolently as it took the case and logged out.

The snow blew wildly as the plane was almost ready for takeoff. Two people could be seen standing near where the entrance to the plane would open up. Holding each other tightly, they failed to notice the griffin coming at them until it landed and approached them.

"Raika, it's time." Bass told him as Raika reluctantly let go of Chaula. He smiled at her sadly as he gathered his pack to take with him to Dentech.

"I'll be home as soon as I can Chaula. I'm really sorry about this, but you know I have to go even though I don't want to leave you. Promise me you'll be safe?" He asked her with a hint of pleading in his voice. Chaula smiled at him and nodded.

"Of course, my overprotective griffin here won't let me go two steps without being by myself, will you?" She teased. Bass rolled his eyes as Raika boarded the plane, taking one last look at his werewolf lover before the boarding hatch closed. He breathed deeply as he closed his eyes and thought about the past few weeks. Chaula went out with an evil werewolf, Raika had a huge fight with her, and later saved her from a horrible fate that would have implanted itself in her thoughts forever. They later confessed their love to each other and were living in bliss ever since. They slept together a lot more often and they went everywhere together, everywhere. And now he had to leave her, alone.

"Well, maybe not completely alone sir. She has Bass, and Protias with her, they will protect her, and so will everyone else." Searchman said, startling Raika as he realized he was thinking out loud. He nodded at his net navi and sighed, laying his head back.

"True, and it's not like I'll be gone for as long as I normally am. I don't even know why they need me to help investigate who would have broken into BlazeQuest. I don't even know what they took and why. Well, we'll find out soon, and then I'll hurry back to her." Raika said closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep. Little did he know, Lan and his friends were in real danger, a danger, that may just cost them their lives, and his too.

-yawns- Gah, I am tired. As I am writing this I am in my first hour class at school, which means I have been up for a little over 2 and a half hours with only 5 and a half hours of sleep, so hopefully you`ll forgive me for making this so short, cuz I know it`s been awhile since I finished that horrible piece of literature I tried to pass off as a Christmas story and I wanted to show you guys I`m still trying. To be honest, my dreams and my boredom-induced fantasies never made it past "The Dangers of Werewolves" so I have been bullying my brain to come up with something new, which took forever, but it worked, and I have an exciting new plot for you, I think you`ll like… (has no idea what to name this story yet) uh… Oh! I got it, "Blazing Beasts and Painful Memories", yeah, I like that, I really do (literally just now came up with the title). Since I am currently braindead, if you couldn`t tell, I have no idea what else I need to say here, so, review and see you next chapter, when I`m hopefully more awake.
