Woot for GU volume 3 everyone. I'm new at this so don't kill me if my first published fanfic sucks. Also, this fanfic got a character from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" in it so it's kinda a cross over.
.Hack//GU or anything thing doing with the .hack franchise doesn't belong to me. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya does not belong to me either cause if either of these did belong to me I'd end up running the into them ground.

Prologue
My body felt numb. Everything was a blur. Was I panicking or was I only dreaming? I couldn't think. It was all going so fast. It all started with a game and then it happened. Ever since then something has been wrong. I looked into mirror and stared closely at my pale face. Little black marks began to swell on my face. Panicking, I began clawing them away but they weren't there. I couldn't feel them but I could see them. I looked closer as they began to spread. I shook and threw myself onto the bathroom floor. My breathing quickened and my lungs began to take in less and less air. I coughed and blood spewed out of my mouth. I shook, my body wouldn't stop shaking. My mind became fuzzy and my head throbbed. What was happing? It had never been this bad before. I couldn't take it. I could feel the pain, the hate and the suffering. It was telling me to kill, either myself or someone else. I groaned as my head began to throb more.
"Get out of my head!" I yelled smashing my head into the wall of the bathroom. "Get out, Get out Get out?" I slammed my fists into the wall. I began clawing at the walls. My head only hurt more. I could hear it. It was crying and telling me to log on. It wanted me to release it. It spoke so soft but yet its words cut like a knife.
"Luke, please log in." It gentle spoke. "Allow me, allow us to reign supreme." I shook my head. Power wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to be rid of this curse. It continued to talk to me. "Please Luke, I'm begging you. The World is begging you." I couldn't take it anymore. The pain was too much and I wanted to scream. I couldn't go on with this. I couldn't handle it. I clenched my hands. I had to do it. I had to take my own life. If I didn't then, what would happen to all those people? Something bad had happened because of it and now it only wanted more. I groaned as I ripped open the medicine closet. Several types of pills stood sat in front of me. All of them could do me in. I reached for the closet one and popped open the bottle. Small blue pills poured out into my hand. It screamed in my head. It told me to stop. I couldn't stop, I wouldn't stop. I poured the entire bottle into my hand and began ramming the pills down my throat. I didn't care if I choked. I felt pills roll down my throat and some drop to the floor. I smiled and knew it was all done. I felt my head spin and my stomach started to burn. It would be over in matter of minutes.
The door behind me burst open. A young woman, about age 19, ran at me and slapped the bottle out of my hand. The remaining pills fell onto the floor and scattered everywhere. Her sliver hair made her face shine and her soft blue eyes met mine. With her right hand, she slapped me. My face turned a red color and it stung. Tears ran down her face and she ran out of the bathroom, holding me by the arm. She threw me onto the couch and picked up the phone. I felt my stomach turn even more and vomit speed out of my mouth. When she was done on the phone, she stared at me.
"What the hell do you think you were doing!" she yelled. I couldn't tell if she was mad or heartbroken. She continued yelling. "Killing yourself isn't the answer." I didn't know what to say. Again, I had messed up. Why did I always mess up? Why was it always me? I felt bad for her. She had to take care of me. I leaned back on the couch. My eyes began to fade in and out. Before blacking out, all I could say was, "I'm sorry, Shino." I was infected, not just in the game but in real life, as well.
Chapter 1
The Suffering and The World
I slowly opened my eyes. The room around me was white and men in white coats surrounded me. I couldn't move and I couldn't speak. I breathed slowly and one of the men touched my shoulder.
"Are you all right?" he asked. "Does your stomach hurt or do you feel dizzy?" I shook my head. I did feel a little dizzy but nothing overly bad. It had become much clearer that I was in a hospital. I tried to think back to what had happened but I drew a blank. All I could remember was that I overdosed on some medication. I let out a sigh of relief. I was somewhat glade I didn't die. For the next few hours, the doctor came in and checked on me. They took blood and had me eat small amounts of food. It wasn't until the next day that I was able to see my roommate. She entered, carrying a red designer purse. She smile and sat down next to me.
"Luke, how are you?" she asked. I could tell she was still angry. I smiled and tried to put on my best happy face.
"I'm fine." I replied. "How about you, Shino?" She answered quickly but I didn't hear any of it. I was to busy thinking of when this all started. A lot had happened and never really got it all.
I played 'The World R: 2'. It was a huge online game that many people played. It was fun once you made it passed level 20. The PKs didn't target you as much then and exploring became much easier. I was a Twin Blade, my character name was Alastor. I was playing the game one day when a man, with blue hair and a huge cylinder cage on his arm approached me. That's all I could remember. I knew he had killed me but didn't understand why. I don't remember anything after that but a few months later I woke up from a coma. My memories where fragmented and all I could remember was my time playing 'The World'. I was told my name and they tried to help me remember anything I could. I soon learned that my parents had been killed due to what some peopled called The Third Net Work Crisis. They were on a plane when several systems went failed. The plane went down and everyone was killed. When they told me this, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't feel sad because I couldn't remember them. That was when I first met Shino. She had fallen into a coma to but she was spared losing her memories. We talked and became friends. She was older then I was, by about 3 years. I didn't care. She was the only one who understood me. A week later she was released from the hospital. For a month, I didn't see her until one day she came to the hospital. The nurse told me that I was being released in her care and I was checked out of the hospital. I thought that maybe my life could restart and rebuild but I was wrong. Shortly after my time in the hospital, I began to get headaches. They were mild at first but as time went on they grew. Shino had tried to help me but nothing she ever did helped. The pills that I had taken earlier were hers. She had some type problems with her lungs where she needed to take medicine to keep them functioning right. She was really never able to exercise or work hard. She also was busy. She was in college, had a part time job, and took care of me. I helped with the money a little but she told me that I should focus on my studies more. To think that I almost completely ruined what she had tried to create for me.
"Luke, is everything all right, you seem spacey?" Shino asked. "The doctor said that the overdose should have worn of by now."
"I'm fine." I replied. "Just tired." I knew that Shino was only trying to help but sometimes she over worried. Maybe her over worrying was a blessing. She had come back from her job to check on me before going to school and that's when she found me over dousing. The whole situation was like angel was protecting me. Shino was my angel and I wouldn't let anyone else have her. She would be mine forever and I would never fall for anyone else. We spent the next few hours talking and every day for the next week, Shino would come in and talk with me. I was enjoying it. The voice in my head wasn't talking but I still got light headaches. The doctors told that they were going to release me the next day. I checked the calendar on the wall. It was a Sunday. I had been in the hospital for over a week. The day before I was released went slow. Shino was unable to come because of work. I just lay in my bed and waited for one of the Nurses to come and take me for my daily walk. The doctors wanted me to walk around and keep myself slightly active. They wanted to make sure my headaches didn't come back if I was moving or doing something.
A Nurse came into my room an hour before lunch and helped me out of bed. I never learned her name but she came in and took care of me everyday. I probably just forgot it.
"How are we feeling this afternoon?" she asked checking my blood pressure. I replied as I always did and thanked her for taking care of me for the past few days. She seemed glade that I thanked her. Not too many people must tell her thanks.
"Today the doctor wants you to walk down to the third level and then back. He said that we should see if you can walk long distances." She gentle said after she gave me a quick shot. The medicine I took needed to cancel out. Another drug that they gave me did just that. Every other day they gave me a shot of some green medicine. When that was done, the Nurse let me go and I began my usual strolls. I always found walking seemed to clear my mind but today was different. I guess today was the day when things started to go into motion and I began to discover the truth. I had started to wonder why I kept hearing voices and why they wanted me to play "The World". Shino had told me to never play. I listened and never even touched the game but I always loved to hear her stories about her and an Adept Rogue named Haseo. An Adept Rogue was a job calls that could use three different types of weapons. All of her stories made me feel like I was playing the game again.
I was on the sixth floor and on my walks I couldn't use the elevator. The other workers greeted me cheerfully as I walked along. I enjoyed my walks and always looked forward to them. I had made it to the fourth floor a few minutes later and I was preparing to head down to the third floor when I heard a scream. I had heard screams and crying before and ignored it but this time I wanted to see who it was. I walked along until I found the source. A girl, a year younger then me, was sitting on a gurney with her armed covered in blood. At first I thought her arm was broken but a closer look showed me that pieces of glass were jagging out of her arm. A few of the cut looked deep and a Burse was already beginning to remove pieces of glass. I approached slowly not wanting to get in her way. The Nurse removed the most she could before having to get a doctor to remove the rest with some equipment. She spotted me and waved. I recognized her as the Nurse, who brought me my food.
"Hello Luke, how are you?" she asked. I shrugged and moved closer. The girl, with the glass stuck in her, stared at me. I felt a little uneasy but I still approached. The Nurse began to introduce me to the girl. "Luke, this is Ms. Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi this is Mr. Luke Rothschild." After the quick introduction, she left to get a doctor. At first, we just stared at each other. I wanted to break the ice but I didn't know how.
"What are you in for?" she asked. I was glade I didn't have to start the talking.
"I overdosed on pills." I replied. "How about you, those are some nasty cuts." I looked down at her swollen arm. Part of it had been bandaged but the rest of it was still open and bleeding. I felt bad for her.
"I'm in because I was trying to create a device that could let me contact aliens but I slipped and the glass on it shattered." The first word that hit me was aliens. I began laughing as hard as I could. What was she a two year old? I couldn't help but laugh. I laughed so hard it hurt. "Hey, there are aliens and other amazing supernatural thing out there!"
"Like Bigfoot and ghost." I replied mocking her. It was too good to be true. Hurting yourself over aliens, it was classic. "Look, next time play your games without getting hurt." I could tell by her expression that she was pissed. I don't mean pissed as in just slightly mad I mean pissed as in ready to rip my face of. At least, I was in a hospital incase she decided to.
"You shouldn't talk because I sense some supernatural activity around you." Haruhi shot at me. I let out a chuckle. She couldn't scare me or make me feel bad. I was over getting beat up by little comets like that. I didn't fell supernatural so I wasn't supernatural.
"Hey look, maybe your just imaging things, the only thing odd that had ever happened to me is going into a coma after playing "The World R: 2" I lied leaning up against the wall next to her gurney. I decide not to bring up the whole headaches and almost killing myself thing. I was amazed at the next thing she told me.
"Hey, I play The World and you were one of the lost ones. That's must be what I'm sensing. You're so lucky." Haruhi added. Lucky, I didn't think going into a coma after playing a game then awaking with no memories was lucky but Haruhi was so strange it was beyond my comprehension. "Do you still play?"
"Of course not, I went into a coma. Why would I start playing again?" I replied. I was going to say that people who did that were stupid but I didn't because Shino still played. Shino still played because of Haseo and her other friends. I sometimes wished that I had friends like that but I didn't. I couldn't think of really anyone but Shino. Before getting to far into my thoughts, I decided to our conversation going. "What class are you?"
"I'm an Adept Rogue." Haruhi replied with a smile on her face. "The fact that they can change there weapons up to three time is amazing. Also there some rumors going around about an Adept Rogue named Haseo. They say that he helped stop The Third Network Crisis." She replied. I guess she only took the Adept Rogue class because of Haseo. It was sad when I thought about it. This girl must not have any friends. I mean I've never seen anyone so obsessed with things weird and supernatural. Haruhi blabbed on for a few minutes about the rumors of Haseo. I knew them all. She also talked about how being an Adept Rogue might lead to something supernatural in The World. I just smiled and nodded.
"So as an Adept Rogue, what classes did you take as your sub level classes?" I asked shutting her up about the supernatural crap. I was starting to get annoyed. Before she could answer, the doctor came and finished patching up her arm. It had seemed like he didn't come for a while.
"I only took 2 but they are, Blade Brandier and Macabre Dancer." Haruhi replied. Why did she only take the 1 job classes and not 3? I decided to ask. I had never known anyone who was an Adept Rogue and I never really cared for the class. Haruhi seemed pleased that I ask. She obviously loved to talk about useless crap. "You see, you get 4 points when you start creating your creating your Adept Rogue. Each job class you can choose from cost a different amount of points. The more physical classes like Twin Blades and Blade Brandiers are 1 point but the more magic classes like Shadow Warlock and Macabre Dancer cost 3 points." The system was smart. It prevented people from making super powerful characters with the best job classes. Sadly, many people didn't like the Adept Rogue. They thought it was mediocre and it was. Their weapons never got as powerful as the real job class and there skills would always be weaker. The only good thing about them was that they got a cool costume change when they got a new weapon and they were equipped for several situations.
"I used to be a Twin Blade." I added. "But I don't even know what happened to my character after I went into the coma. I doubt it's even there." I was trying to be funny but Haruhi wasn't impressed. I didn't blame her either because my humor was as exciting as a rotting animal.
"You should give 'The World a shot again". Haruhi recommended. "Don't worry no one has gone into a coma for a while now."
"Shino doesn't think I should." I replied. I kind of wanted to play again but I knew that Shino would scold me. I wasn't supposed to play anymore. I wish I knew why? Shino plays and she went into a coma. It wasn't fare but neither is life.
"Whose Shino anyways, your mom?" Haruhi asked. I chuckled. In some ways, she was. It was really funny that so many people asked me that when I talked about her.
"No but she is like a big sister to me. She has taken care of me since my parents died. They died when I was in a coma." I didn't know how else to put it. I just let go what I had on my heart.
"I'm sorry about your parents." Haruhi said sympathetically. "It must be really hard for you." I shook my head. Her face looked funny as if she was trying to comfort me but didn't know how to express what she was feeling.
"I lost my memories and couldn't even remember my name when I woke up." I replied. "I can't miss someone I don't remember." It sounded cold but it was how I felt. I felt that way ever since I was told about their death. They were just like some characters in a story. You might feel connected to them in a way but when they die you aren't hurt at all.
"I think you need to make some friends." Haruhi joked. I shrugged and tried not to laugh. I could say the same thing about her. She checked over her arm and got off the gurney. Her dark brown hair ran down to her upper back. In the middle of her hair was a big yellow headband. Small yellow ribbons were tied into her hair on both the right and left side. I hadn't noticed till now but she was hot. If it wasn't for her whacked out personality, I'm sure she would have hundreds of guys lining up to date her. "Hey you're going to go on tonight."
"I can't I don't get out of here till tomorrow and like I said Shino will kill me." I replied. I wasn't about to make Shino any madder at me then she already was. I had done enough to piss her off. "Sorry I can't." Haruhi didn't look thrilled. It was now very obvious that she had no friends."
"You're no fun." She mumbled. With that she waved shook my hand and then left for the lobby. I looked at my hand. A small piece of paper had been place in it. It had her email and character name on it. She definitely didn't have any friends.
The day went much faster after that. I kept to myself until Shino came to get me the next day. It was like we hadn't seen each other in a long time. I think Shino was just glade to see me and I was glade to see her.
"So what did you do yesterday?" she asked as we walked out of the hospital. I told her about my usual walk and then meeting Haruhi. I also told her that she wanted me to play The World. Shino didn't seem too thrilled. She decided to scold me but I didn't deserve it. "Look, the doctor said you can't play that game or your headaches will trigger again." I sighed. I was hoping that I would able to play it at least once.
"Why not?" I whined. I was hoping that maybe pushing it more would reward me. "I haven't played in a while and we already know that my headaches continue whether I play it or not."
"Don't whine! you're not a little kid anymore." Shino scolded more. "Just to be safe you shouldn't play it." I could tell by her face that she meant it. I rolled my eyes and looked away. It was really starting to piss me off.
"Then why should you get to play it?" I asked. Shino took a direct hit. I wanted to see how she would get out of this one. Shino shut her eyes and nodded.
"I shouldn't play it either but it's the only way that I can meet my friend Haseo." She explained. I couldn't believe what she was saying. She could play it to meet her friends but I couldn't play it to meet mine.
"What type of answer is that?" I yelled. "You do the same thing I want to do and yet you keep me from playing. This is the biggest load of BS I've ever seen. This is more then shit, this is retarded shit." I stomped my foot and stopped walking. I was either going to get to play The World or none of us would. I continued attacking her. "You're at work or at school a lot, so you're never home. Why can't I play in the down time? You always tell me about your adventures. Why can't I experience some or at least some I can remember?" Shino sighed and buried her face in her hands. She was thinking and in a few minutes her mind was made up. The answer was no.
The summer months were fun. No school and I could bum around all I wanted. Shino had to leave for work early so I was going to be by myself for most of the day, which meant I could play The World most of the day. What Shino didn't know wouldn't hurt her. I sat down in the chair at the computer desk and brought up The World R: 2. I grinned and typed in my user name and password. I put on the Virtual Helm and grabbed my controller. The odd device covered my eyes and my ears. I heard the computer monitor click off and the computer picture appeared on the screen in front of my eyes. The game had some virtual qualities but you still had to use a controller to play the game. Amazingly my character was still there. I logged in as Alastor.
Alastor was amazing. He had slicked back black hair and black check markings on both sides of his face. He had on a sleeveless leather breastplate. Thick armored gloves ran up his arms. His pants a grey color and had chains coming off of the back. On my belt were several holders for short bladed swords. I had my character touch his white leather breastplate. It was good to be back.
The first thing I did was Haruhi to my friends list. I hadn't noticed but her character name was the same as her real name. She must have been playing for a long time. Her name appeared on my friends list and it read online by her name. I scrolled over eh name and began reading her statues. It read, Haruhi, level 5, guild racking none, hp 568, sp 220. I almost started laughing my head off. She was a beginner. My level was 123 and I was able to complete most of the harder events. She'd be lucky to get passed the easy stuff. I chuckled to myself and sent a quick short mail to her. Short mail was a quick message that let you know that you were on or where to go. My message was very simple and it read…You suck hahahahahaha. I got a quick reply back and she didn't sound too happy. The short mail was more like long mail.
Who the hell are you? Look you fagot, I don't know how you got my member address or if you're just some pervert who likes to stalk me but get a life and go screw over your sister. I quickly replied back.
We are cranky this mourning. It's me, Luke from the other day. I managed to get on the game but I don't know how long I can play because I'm not supposed to be on. Is sent the mail and in a few seconds I got a reply.
Why didn't you say so, add me to your party!!! I did as the note ordered and in a few minutes Haruhi's character warped through the Chaos Gate. The Chaos Gate was like the central warp point in the game. It could take you to towns or fields to level up and do quests. I almost gasped when I saw Haruhi's character. It looked just like her in real life. I couldn't believe. There was no way to customize your character that way unless it was hacked.
"How'd you get it to look like you?" I asked amazed. "You didn't hack it did you?" Haruhi shook her head. I could tell by the odd sounds from her voice that she was laughing.
"No, I managed to do some CC Corp event and I won. The prize was a character modeled after you and with your name. I sent in a picture of myself and they made this. The only crappy part was that I lost my high leveled character." She replied. I could tell she was proud of her accomplishments but I would hate it. Now people could find out what she looked like in real life and it was a little creepy. "So what do you want to do?"
"Level you up." I replied. Haruhi sighed when she checked my level. I had been playing for a long time and I was prepared for almost anything. No level 10 area could beat me. "Ok let's go to the sigma server Breg Epona." In the World R: 2, there were a total of 4 severs you could go to. They were called, Mac Anu, Dol Dona, Lumina Cloth, and Breg Epona. Mac-Anu was the beginner area, Del Dona was in the middle, and Breg Epona was for advanced level players. Lumina Cloth was dedicated to arena battles. R: 2 had become overrun with PKs so CC Corp created the battle arena to cut down on the Pkings. It didn't really work but the battle tournaments were fun to watch.
"Breg Epona, that place will get me killed." She shouted. "But, it might be fun. Just don't go to any area above your level." I nodded and we warped to Breg Epona. The root town was set up as a futuristic city. Lights were shining everywhere and the streets were filled. I could tell that Haruhi had never been there before.
"Different then the streets of Mac Anu." I replied to her expression. "What was your old characters level?"
"68." She said. "It's not that strong but its better then 5." I agreed. I couldn't even remember what it felt like to be level 5. It seemed so long ago but in fact it was only about a year ago. I couldn't believe that I hadn't played The World for over a year. It was amazing to be back in the game. To see all the odd people, hear the chats, go on quests and collect weapons and items. It was a mmo of endless bounds. I clicked the Chaos Gate again and added up my three area words. To go to a field, you had to punch in different area words. The area words created the type of field, how strong it was, and how good the treasure you could get. I punched in the area words, Broken, Wander, Pathway.
The area, we selected, was a cave area. The graphics were made to resemble an underground cave with waterfalls and underground springs. It looked very real for a game but you could tell that some of the graphics were messed up. The programmers did a bad job on this area. Also, my screen was sort of fuzzy and noise. They needed to clean up the field. Our mission was to make it to the Beast Statue on the bottom floor of the dungeon. There was could get a rare or powerful item.
"You ready?" I asked pointing down the cave and into the darkness. Haruhi nodded and we began our mission. Level her up was easy. The cave was only a level 101 cave and I was able to kill all the enemies in one or two hits. Haruhi gained levels like crazy. In 2 battles, she leveled up. The max exp she could get was 500 a battle. As we progressed through the cave, her level increased from 5 to 15. If she died, I revived her with Revival Medicine. The cave was a breeze for me. I cut down monsters left and right. By the time we reached the Beast Temple, Haruhi was close to level 17.
"Wow, that was amazing." She yelled running to the chest. "You're really powerful." I blushed in real life. I had never been told by a girl before that I was strong. It made me feel good and attractive.
"You can go ahead and open the chest, I don't need what's in there." I told her. Haruhi grinned and opened the box up. She received some armor that was to high a level for her to use. I have to admit that even if I didn't gain any levels the experience was fun.
"Let's get going." Haruhi said walking to the warp out portal. I nodded and followed. Before we warped out, the screen filled with noise. It became so bad that it was hard to see my character. I knew something bad was happing. In front of the Beast Statue, a small blue ball of light descended. I moaned as it touched down and three figures appeared. The one on the left had short white hair that covered his eyes. He had thick white armor on and wielded a long sword. Huge bony wings came out of his back. The one on the right had very short blond hair. His eyes radiated like the color of the sun and his face looked like it was sown together. A huge long sword was strapped to his back. The one in the middle had an orange hat on. He had greenish teal hair that covered his left eye. He wielded two short twin blades with three blades on them. I recognized them instantly. The one in the middle was Tri-Edge. I scanned over his name and it read Kite. I had heard a rumor that his name was that but no one had ever been able to prove it. The other two I didn't recognize but there names shown when I scanned over them. The winged man name was Balmung and the naked mans name was Orca. I looked over at Haruhi who was quickly trying to warp out. The warp point didn't respond.
"Oh crap." She yelled. "We are so dead." My eyes widened as Kite walked towards me. He drew his tri bladed swords and prepared to attack. His partners readied there swords and pointed them at me. I couldn't die, not now. I had just started again and I wasn't going to let some random PKs kill me but I knew I was no where near as powerful as they were. I had no choice but to stand up and challenge them.
The winged man attacked me first. I shut my eyes and pressed the block button. His and my swords collided. The naked man attack next and this time with the winged man by his side. Two long swords slashed at me. I watched as my characters hp dropped about 25. It was then I noticed that they were only attacking me and not Haruhi. Had I done something to the system that made them angry or was my stronger level a more fun target to kill then a noob? Tri-Edge joined the next attack. With three overpowered warriors coming at me, I could only hope that there attacks wouldn't kill me. I prepared to block but then everything seemed to freeze for a second. After the quick hang up, a huge black mess spewed from my sword and struck the winged man. I watched him go flying off the platform and hit the Statue of Folset, the god of law. His hp dropped to zero and now only two of the PKs remained. The black mess that had hit the winged man hovered by me. It began to take shape and it formed into a man. He had long black hair that went down to his waist. He had on light clothes and attached to his belt was a huge sword. He looked at me and smiled. I watched as he charged at the naked man and slew him in one quick slash of his blade. He then drew a Shadow Warlock staff and cast and spell that sent Tri-Edge into the wall. His hp almost dropped to zero and Tri-Edge could barely get up before being slashed with two twin blades. The man had saved me and he had more weapons that anyone character class could have. Not only that but he crushed some of the strongest PKs in the game. He had red eyes that stared at me. I felt cold when he looked at me.
"Greetings master." He greeted bowing. "My name is Yuan. I am your guardian." He handed me a member address. The quickly brought up my friends list to see what class he was. In the class section it read???. He grinned and waved to me. Just as fast as he had come, he was gone. I just stared blackly at the poorly textured walls.
"That was awesome!!!" Haruhi yelled at the top of her lungs. "I got to see the PK Tri-Edge, and a job class that doesn't exist. This is supernatural all right." I laughed a little. We could have been killed but she didn't seem to care. "That's it, I'm sticking with you. Luke, consider use buds from now on." Haruhi slapped me on the back before warping out. I was left alone in the cave, wondering what the hell just happened. I did log out and in a good time to. Shino walked through the door right when I put everything away. That night I checked my e-mail. There was one message from Haruhi.
Subject: Supernatural
Things that are really supernatural are amazing but I guess weird things in a game are just as good. I can't believe we ran into Tri-Edge and lived. Hopefully something odd like that happens every time we go out adventuring. I gotta go because I got some club planning to do.
See ya.
The mail ended there. I sighed as I shut the computer off. I sure didn't want anymore crazy adventures like the one I had today.
