Chapter Two: MORE Confusion

"You WHAT?" Lolidragon looked down at Prince from the tree she had climbed, her face unreadable, Prince lowered his head and sighed.

"I know! But I was just under so much pressure and…"

Lolidragon landed neatly next to him, "Well, it's about time!" she carelessly looked over at Prince who's face was in shock. She snapped his jaw shut and shrugged, "Now he will be off your back, seriously he will never look at you the same way again."

Prince relaxed, "Oh yeah, whew, I didn't think of that!" Lolidragon nodded smugly. "Oh Lolidragon!" Prince exclaimed, he ran over to her and hugged her, she looked at him thinking, Uhh… "What would I do without you?"

Wicked yelled and sat up his head felt like it had been hammered on a hundred times. He ignored the dizziness and took stock of his surroundings. He was apparently alone on the little ledge that witch had claimed to be stuck on. He noticed all of his gear was gone and the clothes on him was torn and bloody. It looked like they had tried to kill him.

With alarm he felt his pocket and swore, (something he usually never did but found himself recently doing quite often) because his purse had also been stolen. He had just gotten ripped off by some chick! The wondered if he should ask his team to help him get out of there and heal him, but then he wondered, why hadn't they all ready found him? It looked like he had been for at least three hours, surely someone was missing him?

Then he remembered, it was still school time, he figured the whole day of school was a waste now. He checked the connection to see if anyone else was online. To his surprise Prince, aka Xiao Lan, was online. He/She technically wasn't on his team but he routinely checked to see what she was up to, a habit of a love struck boy…. Clearing his voice he started to talk to her.

"Prince, this is Wicked, I need some help…." Immediately from the other end came Prince's worried voice.

"What happened Zhou- Wicked?"

Wicked smiled faintly but grimaced when his cracked lip began to bleed, "I am stranded on a small ledge-"

Before he could finish Prince interrupted, "Where are you? I will come immediately!"

Wicked gave him his coordinates and relaxed, knowing his friend would come within minutes. He was actually quite glad that he didn't even have to ask Prince to come get him, he was just kind like that. He was propped up on one arm lazily staring at the sky when from the top of the cliff appeared Prince's head.

Lolidragon was quite surprised to find out that Wicked had been caught and "mugged" he would need all new weapons and outfitting. Good thing he isn't in my team she thought. Recently (Since Wicked found out that Prince was Xiao Lan really) Wicked's team and the odd squad had kind of teamed up and trained a lot together, especially so because they all managed the property.

She had logged on that day and found Prince attempting to haul Wicked into the Infinite Hamlet, when she rushed to help she found out everything. Prince had been glad of the assistance, because apparently Wicked is pretty heavy, but Wicked seemed sort of peeved that Lolidragon had interrupted them. Lolidragon just shook her head.

Gui looked over at Prince as he stretched, normally this view would send him into one of those disgusting frenzies he acted out. Instead though, this time, Gui paid close attention to Prince's mannerisms. Now that he thought about it Prince did often do feminine things like put his hands on his hips or run his hand through his hair. He wasn't sure how he felt about knowing who Prince really was.

On one hand, it provided him with an easy out to stop pretending to be gay, but on the other one, how would he be able to interact with Prince, it would just be to weird now. Gui had never really been gay he had just thought he would toy with a little kid and then everything snowballed. Sick as it was half of the time he found himself enjoying being beat up by Prince and teasing him. Of course when he returned to the real world he would always wonder and ask himself why the heck he did all of that. It just didn't matter in the game, but now that he knew Prince was really a girl he didn't know what to think. It really changed everything.

"Hey Gui!" He looked around to see Wicked beckoning for him to join the soldier. "I need to talk to you!" Gui curiously got up and followed Wicked a little way into the woods

Wicked had finally recovered and decided that he really needed to straighten things out with Gui. As he was being helped back to Infinite Hamlet he discovered that Prince was really pretty bothered by Gui's creepy behavior. Wicked promised as he was being half dragged by Prince, that he would help him out. Prince had of course just waved this away but Wicked felt it was his personal duty to ensure that Prince was happy. He halted and spun around taking Gui by surprise when they had gone into the woods. Gui looked at Wicked curiously but the tall man gave nothing away.

"Gui, there is something I need to tell you." Gui asked what it was and Wicked braced himself to tell the perv some bad news. "It is about Prince, he isn't really a-"

"girl" Gui finished for him, "Yeah I know, he told me a couple day's ago."

Wicked quickly gained composure again and asked, "Then, you aren't going to still act…. You know.."

Gui shook his head and said, "I wont… I think"

Wicked exploded, "YOU THINK? WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? YOU THINK! YOU NEED TO LEAVE PINCE ALONE!"

Gui stepped back a little from the furious Wicked, and smirked, "Well, I mean now that I know he is a girl, and I have seen him as a girl… Well she is kinda cute…"This stopped Wicked short,

"But I thought you were…"

"Gay?" Wicked could only nod, "Not really, I just wanted to toy with Prince… Now I can really-"

Wicked blew up again as Gui had planned, "YOU AREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING!"

Gui made disapproving noises, "My my, aren't you defensive," Wicked looked like he was going to start shouting again but Gui put up a hand, "I was only kidding, I'll leave the kid alone if you want. I really don't intend to die everyday in this game you know."

Wicked relaxed even though he was still a bit peeved, he started walking back to where everyone is, "Well, I am glad we understand each other." Gui smiled and started back after him.

Lolidragon gave Wicked a calculating look as he left the woods with Gui. She was pretty sure what he had been telling the pervert, in fact, she thought she might have heard him yell a little. "I wonder what's going on…" she murmured.

"What's that?" asked Doll, she was playing with meatbun near Lolidragon. The older girl looked down.

"Oh, nothing… say… do you want to do me a favor?"

Doll looked up, "Sure, I'm bored."

Lolidragon smirked, she would be able to use Doll very nicely. She leaned down and whispered into Doll's ear, the smaller girl's face lit up as she heard what Lolidragon said.

"Ho ho," she laughed, "Sounds fun! I'll be back soon."

Lolidragon sat back and watched Doll skip off to find Wicked. Doll disappeared from view and Lolidragon sighed, she really ought to get some work done. Five minutes later Doll still hadn't come to find Lolidragon, lazily Lolidragon wondered what could possibly happened to make such a small task take so long. She roamed the streets of the village in Infinite Hamlet looking for someone to talk to, right on time Prince turned a corner and bumped into her.

"Oh, sorry Lolidragon!" Prince laughed and helped Lolidragon up, (he had knocked her down) annoyed she brushed off the dust.

"Prince you're such a klutz."

Prince laughed again, his free easy laugh, "Yes I know, say, you don't know where Nan Gong Zui is do you? I need to talk to him."

Lolidragon appraised the determined look on Prince's face, "So you are going to tell him?"

Prince shrugged, "So many people know now, I just want to tell him the truth before he hears it from some one else first. Plus, I miss him."

Lolidragon snickered at Prince "Just don't let Gui or Wicked hear you say that." a look of confusion crossed Prince's face.

"Wicked? What do you mean?" You are So dense! thought Lolidragon.

"Never mind. I think Nan Gong Zui is in the sun city."

"Thanks! I will be back in a bit," Prince said smiling, he turned tail and raced for the gates.

"Hey!" Lolidragon yelled, "Don't get lost!" she shook her head, what an irresponsible person.

Doll almost felt timid as she approached the large figure of Wicked, he sat on a rock polishing his new armor, the whole effect was quite impressive. She stood in front of him for several seconds, he didn't seem to notice her so she gently poked his knee with her finger. Startled he looked up from his work.

"Excuse me," Doll said politely, "I just had a question…"

Wicked recognized her from Prince's team, "Oh, hey…Doll, right? What is your question?"

Doll inhaled deeply, "I was just wondering if you like Prince." Wicked froze, Doll looked up at him innocently big eyes waiting for an answer, Wicked cleared his throat uncomfortably,

"Prince is a great comrade of course." He finally said. Doll nodded.

"Oh."

"Who put you up to it anyways?" Doll started to edge away.

"What do you mean? I was just curious, actually I think I better-"

Wicked drew himself up to his full height and gave Doll his most intimidating face, "Doll," She just stuck out her tongue and ran away. Wicked returned to his work, even though Doll hadn't said anything he was pretty sure he knew who put her up to asking him such a question.

Prince whistled as he walked through the woods, the sun was shining and he was on a mission. Prince was determined to take Nan Gong Zui back to Infinite Hamlet with him he would definitely explain everything, he was only in the sun city too! Slowly Prince came to a stop, he had just realized he didn't know where the sun city was.

Looking over his shoulder he found he didn't know where he was. A cloud passed over the sun cloaking the little path in shadows. Chills made their way up Prince's spine,

"Calm down, calm down" he said to himself, "You are a dude here… there is nothing to worry about." a twig snapped somewhere in the brush Prince spun around, fear dominated his expression.

Wicked walked up to Gui, "Nice of you, sending a girl to do a man's job."

"Come again?" Gui asked, completely at a loss.

Wicked pointed one long finger at Gui, "Don't play dumb, you sent Doll to see if I like Prince."

Gui looked taken aback, "You like Prince?"

Wicked exhaled loudly, "No, idiot! It was-"

Lolidragon put her hand on Wicked's arm "Don't be silly," she said, "Gui isn't cunning enough to plan something like that, I was the one that used Doll."

Wicked turned away from Gui, "Really?" Lolidragon nodded, "Oh, why would you?"

Lolidragon shrugged, "I was curious, Doll finally came and told me what happened, so you have been breaking in your new stuff?" Wicked replied he had, "Then," said Lolidragon, "You aren't aware of the fact that Prince ran off into the woods to find Nan Gong Zui?"

Wicked's face slowly turned purple, "WHAT!" He wheeled around and sprinted to the path.

Lolidragon looked at Gui he was completely lost, "Don't ask," She said "This should be interesting…"
