Hey guys! This is my first story so take it easy. Thanks, enjoy!

*Megumi's POV*

The flashback had begun and I was lying down on my bed opening my computer. I knew it was a bad idea to log on to 'Love or Death', a new online game that Yasu, dark blonde hair and blue eyes, my gaming and overall BFF, was planning on getting the game but wanted us to get it at the same time so I called her on Skype and logged on.

"Yasu, what's happening?" I asked as the game screen went black, all the new and old players were getting confused. Some logged out but it said they had died.

"I don't know Megumi, I'm scared. Don't log out or we will die!" she started crying and hanged up the Skype call as an announcement came on.

"Hello, I am Yani Sinon, creator of Love and Death. As you may have seen, if you log out you die. One thousand players have died, not only in this virtual world, but in real as well. Please enjoy and die as soon as possible!" The announcement said. Then I don't know if it was just me but, I got sucked into the game and it all went black.

I hear the shots of arrows and suddenly awaken. I see inside of a hollowed out bush, it must be where I slept last night while sorting out my weapons. I search for a hole in the bush but instead find a kind of flap like thing covering, what must be the entrance and exit. As I am about to move out of the bush I remember I have not got my cloak on and my weapons are everywhere on the floor so I grab my backpack and put my knitted blanket, trail mixes, water bottles and spare boots into it. My two silver jewelled swords lay on the floor next to my bow and arrows; I had no room in my backpack for them. I place my belt with 2 sword holders on each side on, put my backpack on, grab my arrow quiver which falls onto my shoulders, cloak over me and my bow in hand. I hated being this packed with my weapons but it was the only way I could survive this life which I was given. As I run out the bush I fall back to the ground as a male figure with a cloak on turns around.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I was just trying to hide!" he explains in a fast voice. I pick myself up and look at the ground, it felt like I was blushing and I couldn't let anyone see that. It would be known as a weakness and you don't want to have any in a place where anyone could die.

"It's fine. I don't need it anymore; the bush is now all yours." I look slightly up to see a perfect white smile. I look up a bit more and see perfect blue eyes and a blonde fringe. I look straight up and then my cloak hood falls off. My pink hair looking a mess and my dark brown eyes glistening. I blush more and put my hood back on.

"You look quite beautiful.. Uh sorry, what is your name?" His voice now sounded normal and not fast at all.

"I'm Megumi, you are?" I say, making a complete fool out of myself.

"I am Toshio." He said with another smile.

"WOLF!" I scream as one jumps on top of him, scratching him. I shoot the wolf off of him and pull my sword out, slicing the wolf's head off.

"Thank you. How can I ever repay you?" Toshio says picking himself up off the ground.

"Well first, take this sword." I pull out one of my silver jewelled swords and give it to him. I rip off one of the sword holders from my belt. "Second, I don't want to go on this adventure alone. Will you maybe.." I get cut off.

"I got your back Megumi. Plus, thank you for this sword." He smiles again and starts walking off so I run after him. "Sorry, uh, I found a town a few minutes away." I walk beside him and start thinking, Yasu might of gone to a town. She was talking about a safe place to herself before we left.

*Toshio's POV*

A beautiful lady who seems amazingly happy and me feeling so depressed. My best friend has died, what was I supposed to do? Make myself fake happy for the rest if my life, or as long as Megumi was in it? Maybe in this town I could find some new friends and maybe Megumi could find some. Unless she had some already.

"Megumi, do you have any friends who might have been playing this when the logging out problem happened?" I needed to know.

"Yeah one," She frowned, I think I made her sad! "Yasu. She was talking about a safe place before I ran off. I think she might be in this town."

"Oh, well come on let's go find out!" I start running and she comes up beside me.

*Megumi's POV*

[15mins Later]

"Here we are!" Toshio announced as he looks down at me. I see a nice fountain in the middle of the town, surrounded by market like buildings and houses. I look at the signs of the market like buildings and find 2 bakeries, 2 butchers, 3 retail stores and realize that the rest of them are a market.

"It's beautiful Toshio!" I shriek in excitement.

Hope you enjoyed this! More coming super soon!
