Lost
Chapter 1: Shock
He stared silently at the computer screen, unable to speak, unable to think.
Perhaps, if you would let the dead lay, you could save those yet living!! the voice of Silverknight rang hollowly in his mind, as he read and reread the e-mail...
They had found her, lying on the floor, unmoving...so pale...she had claw marks covering her body...the caretaker had thought the screams only nightmares...
Subaru was...gone....first Mimiru..and now....
His face fell into his hands limply, as if he could not even hold up the weight of his own head anymore...
" I caused this...my...blind...ignorance..." He whispered, tears slipping through his fingers, and onto the keyboard, " I couldn't even protect those I cared for most...I...I promised you I'd protect you....but...I....I..."
He threw back his head and howled in agony, " NOOO!!!!!!!!!"
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Tsukasa sat up straight, as a bucket of pure, liquid ice poured down his spine, only, ice water would have been warmer....more comforting...
He could hear the howling wind, gnashing it's teeth for the lost....
The emptiness that permiated the forest.....Tsukasa couldn't stop shivering, tears flowed down his cheek like pouring rain....she was gone....they were all gone....he was all alone...all alone....not even aura's soothing presence could lull the pounding ache where his heart had once been....Subaru...how? How could she be gone, too??!!
" No! Why did you leave me?!!! WHY?!!!!!! How can I 'be happy' and 'think nice thoughts' when I'm all alone??" He sobbed, voice cracking from his choking, " Who will hold me when it's cold?? Who will tell me it's okay, and not to cry??...Who??!!! TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/--/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Mother! The cat cried, Look how he suffers!! Let us comfort him!!
" Not Maha, he must go through this...to understand..." The being replied, " It is for his own good, trust me. Would I hurt Tsukasa?"
No, Mistress... Maha sighed, hanging it's head.
But....Tsukasa....can't make it alone......

" I just don't understand, Bear." BT sighed, " How is this possible, any of it?"
" I really don't know....what's important now, is defeating this 'Morganna', and preventing any further deaths."
Bt sughed, and shook her head, " And how do we do that again?"
Bear frowned slightly, " I don't know."
" I was afraid you were going to say that..."
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Sora glared intensely at the digital sky, what was that he had felt earlier...what had given him those unshakable goosebumps? Everything appeared normal there weren't even any loose strands of corrupted data floating about.
" What...was....it....what.....?"
He sighed softly, perhaps it could be that danger Helba had been speaking of.
But...how did this relate to Mimiru...and how did it involve Subaru?
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Bt shook her head, as she walked through the mostly empty streets of late-night Carmina Gadalica, this was all too much.. how could a game do this? It simply wasn't possible for a game to inflict physical wounds to a player, it was beyond one's wildest dreams!!!!
" Why do you believe it is so impossible, BT?" A familiar voice come from behind her.
BT turned her head slightly, and snorted, " When you grow up a little, Subaru, you'll understand."
" Perhaps it is not I, that must grow, but you who must forget." Subaru replied mockingly.
" What's that supposed to mean?"
" You tell me." She sneered, reaching for her, with a bruised and bloody hand.

The man stared silently out over the Mac Anu river, what was going on in this world, and where had the Lady Subaru dissapeared to??
" C-Crimson Knight!!!!!!" Came a panicked scream.
Reflexively, the 2nd leutenant of the Crimson Knights, Silver Knight, stood, and spun towards the voice, drawing his sword.
He saw a young, terrified looking female long-arm, running towards him, though there was no pursuit.
" Y-y-you have to.....th-th-they th-th-th...they're gone!!" she cried, " W-we went to a unique-looking field, a-and there was this blood, and a monster....a-a-a-a-and....they were....GONE!!!! I-i tried to help! I tried to!! b-but I...I....couldn't!!"
" Calm down...we can page a sys op..and recover any experience...or items lost by your friends...if there was a glitch or unannounced event." He assured.
" You don't UNDERSTAND!!!!!! They're gone!!!!!! I tried to contact them, b-but they're GONE!!!!!!!!" She sobbed, " Dead!!!!!" " What are you going on about?!!"
" Th-the virus is here!!!!!!!!" She screamed.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Crim shook his head, why was he here again, in this world, the very place repulsed him...
But he had to figure out how...how had Mimiru died...? More importantly...Subaru....why? and how....
" I'll figure out...I promise.." He whispered, clenching his fists.
I promised.....
