Thief-Chan: This is my attempt at .hack//SIGN fan fiction. The first chapter is short and the next one will be too. This is a really short experimental fan fiction! It will only be three chapters! (Just had to warn you) The next chapter is going to be sad. I hate writing short stories. Please review or you'll never see the ending.

(Crystal opens her eyes. Her brown hair hung at the side of her face. She blinks her deep green eyes heavily as she sighs. Her long heavy sward was clutched in her right hand. Her left hand hung uselessly at her side. Her green eyes scan the small city. It was crowded with different groups of people.)
Crystal: Tashi! Hey!
(She waves at a pink-haired girl who was dressed in a WaveMaster's robes. She smiles and walks toward her.)
Tashi: Hey Crystal, long time no see.
Crystal: Yeah, I had so much homework. I haven't been able to log on in weeks.
Tashi: Why so much work?
Crystal: I don't know...my teachers never gave us homework before, but now...
Tashi: Well, anyway, wanna go in search for treasure?
Crystal: Isn't it better to have three people?
Tashi: Nikki isn't online right now.
Crystal: Ah! Nikki! It's been forever since I've talked to her...
Tashi: So, wanna go?
Crystal: Yeah alright!
(Crystal and Tashi transport to a dark dungeon. They walk through for a while when they encounter a monster. It was like a minature dragon only it had no wings.)
Crystal: Oh, let me battle it!
Tashi: But I want-
Crystal: Please?
Tashi: Oh, okay.
(Crystal draws her blade. The dragon creature breathes fire at her, but she jumps out of the way. Pulling the sword over her head, she lunges at the dragon and slides the blade into its stomach. She pulls her now bloody sword out of the dragon, causing it to fall to the floor)
Tashi: Wow! And I thought you wouldn't be very good at this any-
(Tashi freezes)
Crystal: Tashi?
(Tashi fades along with Crystal's surroundings)
Crystal: Tashi?!

(Crystal opens her eyes. She was standing at a bridge looking into the depths of the clear blue waters. Her reflection frowns up at her. Tashi appears next to her and places her hand on her shoulder)
Crystal: Hey, Tashi.
Tashi: What's up, Crystal?
Crystal: What happened yesterday? You disappeared and I got logged off.
(Tashi shrugs and places her staff on the ground)
Tashi: Maybe it was a virus or something. Did you check the boards?
Crystal: Yeah, but it didn't happen to anyone else.
Tashi: That's odd...
Crystal: Wait! I have a new message.
(Crystal freezes)
Tashi: ...
Crystal: !!!
Tashi: What's wrong?!
Crystal: I just recieved the wierdest message...from a character named Tsukei.
Tashi: That is strange. What did he want?
Crystal: That's the wierdest thing. It didn't say anything. Just...
Tashi: Just what?
Crystal: 'Log off'.
(Later, Crystal and Tashi are sitting by the docks tossing water into the sea. As a rock ripples the water, Crystal notices the reflection of a strange creature)
Crystal: Huh?
(A white cat creature with solid black paws sits on a rock staring into the sky. It wore robes that would be seen on a mage. It swishes its tail and blinks its solid glass blue eyes. Crystal rubs her eyes as though she didn't believe it was really there)
Crystal: Tashi, am I crazy or is there a cat sitting on the rock?
(The cat creature stands on the rock and stretches its legs)
Crystal: Okay, a human/cat creature.
(Crystal looks at Tashi)
Crystal: Tashi?!
(Tashi doesn't move or say anything. Crystal returns her gaze to the cat. It narrows its eyes at her)
Cat: //I've been waiting for you, Crystal.//
Crystal: Who...who are you?!
Cat: //My name is Tsukei. I've been wandering around The World trying to find someone who is deserving enough to battle me. You are the one I have selected to fight.//
Crystal: Why me? I'm out of practice, and I wasn't that good to begin with!
Tsukei: //That does not matter. Do you not notice that no one else can hear me?//
(Crystal looks around. No one takes any notice of the creature)
Crystal: H-how?
Tsukei: //Battle me and you will find out.//
Crystal: Fine! I accept your challenge!
(Tsukei floats over to her. The cat stood barely half her size. It reaches its hand out and a staff magically appears)
Tsukei: //Take your fighting position.//
(Crystal takes a step back and pulls out her sword)
Tsukei: //I must warn you, I won't hold back!//
(Crystal lunges forward slashing her sword through the air. Tsukei easily avoids the sword and hurls a ball of fire out from the end of its staff. Crystal falls to the ground slightly scorched from the fire)
Tsukei: //You can't give in that quickly. You have to stand and fight.//
(Crystal gets back to her feet. Another ball of fire is released from Tsukei's staff. Crystal's arm gets badly burned. She sways a while before falling again)
Crystal: I give up...
Tsukei: //You have potions, why don't you use them?//
Crystal: I still can't win.
Tsukei: //Let this be a lesson.//
Crystal: A lesson of what?! That you're a jerk?!
Tsukei: //You have to follow my command.//
Crystal: What command?
Tsukei: //Log off...//
