"Changing An Adept Rogue's Life"

by: MERAKUOH

I'd just like to say i don't own anything here but the plot to this story and the story itself. nothing more or less.

Summary: Haseo, the ultimate adept rogue. The strongest of Aura's knights. The Terror of Death. Now with an aphrodisiac! It's not long before chaos breaks out in 'The World' !

before i start this, i'd just like to say i'm from America- .hack//G.U. volume 3 isn't out YET. i've watched tons of youtube videos, so i'm going by that and what i watched form clearing volumes 1 and 2. some characters are a bit OOC, but this is something i'm having fun with. not a crack fic, but enough to make you laugh a bit. I also have plans for the next chapter or tw, so i'll take reviews, but don't expect any implemented suggestions.

Haseo had just recently defeated cubia with the help of the other 7 epitaphs. Deciding to let everything "cool off" after making sure Shino had returned, he took the week off. Catching up with his friends and school, Ryou Misaki (haseo in real-life) was finally able to relax a bit. He did not so much as think a single thought about 'The World' the moment he logged off.

-The Serpent of Lore-

Yata decided to move The Serpent of Lore to Canard's former spot in Dol Donna. He took the liberty of scanning Haseo's PC data to fully investigate the Xth form. What he found would end up surprising even him. After calling in Kuhn, Yata scratched his chin in thought. "So, Aura is just full of surprises..." laughing to himself a bit, Kuhn walked in, looking rather bored. "Hey, Yata. you called me for something?" he said casually. "Yes. After analyzing Haseo's PC data, I can safely say that Aura has permanently become part of the system, and that all AIDA are harmless." Yata said, with an apparentl lack of interest. "So, you've basically got a job here 'til you retire, huh?" Kuhn says jokingly. "It would seem so," Yata said, chuckling, "But Hase's new data seems to have awakened something new in the system. I cannot confirm what it actually is, but that it poses no immediate threat to the public. However..." Yata paused, and Kuhn got the feeling that he wasn't going to like what he heard. Yata continued after adjusting his sunglasses. "...However, Haseo is this thing's target. Your job is to watch for anomalies that specifically target him." Kuhn groans, rolling his eyes. "C'mon, Yata! can't you get Pi to--" Yata cuts him off with a knowig smirk. "Do you really think i'd send Pi to do something like this? Haseo would have more reasons to decline having her around, and possibly force her to leave him alone. I am also only telling you about this, seeing as you're the only one who needs to know anything about this but Haseo." "You read my mind, Yata. I was about to ask why you only called me here," Kuhn says, laughing a bit, before scratching the back of his head.

"But, i don't think Haseo really trusts me too much. What about Atoli, or--" "Atoli?" Yata takes off his sunglasses, staring right at Kuhn, who can only stare back. "Come on, Kuhn. Think about it. Atoli stands no chance against AIDA, let alone a new threat. Haseo needs someone as casual and easygoing as you that he can trust to guard him." Sighing, Kuhn nods, and leaves wordlessly. Squinting as his eyes adjust to the strong sunlight outside, Kuhn walks over to two 'fine young ladies' (as he'd call them) and introduces himself. "Ladies! a winderful day in 'The World', eh?" Amazing what charisma Kuhn has.

Little did Ryou Misaki, the player behind Haseo, know, tomorrow was one day to definitely miss in 'The World'. Heading up to his apartment after a rather long and odd day of school, he turns on the TV, tossing his bookbag into his room, and reclines on a loveseat.

"Hm. Salvador Aihara got his own TV how. go figure." he muses, as the infamous online celebrity interviews former Lost Ones. A small blue dustball gently blws past Royu, who catches it, and tosses it aside.

-'The World', the next day-

Tabby paces back and forth by Dol Donna's chaos gate, waiting. "Where's Shino-san? She said she'd be here half an hour ago!" Tabby is exasperated. Normaly, she wouldn't be so annoyed and defeated, but she had nobody to level up with. Nobody to hang out with. "I wnder where Haseo-kun went. He didn't say anything about leaving, and it's been two days since he's logged on!" Thinking as hard as she can, she draws a blank. he didn't say a word to her abou leaving. pouting cutely with a "hmph!", she sits down, pulling her legs up to her chest, waiting patiently. Shino never showed up. Tabby falls asleep, both in-game, and in real life.

Waking up with a violent start, she realizes several things. One, she fell asleep. Two, it's quite late, and three, she can't log out. From everyoe's panicked looks in town, she figured nobody else was able to, either. She groaned, annoyed. Where was Haseo-kun when you needed him?

how was it? review please! I WILL make more chapters, don't you worry!
