quiet

Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction. Draw your conclusions people. Credit goes to RedOmega for the crossover Idea and for their permission to write :) The premise you ask? Ah. That one's easy. "What if the government had actually recruited a skilled gunman to infiltrate Gun Gale Online? And so something insignificant changes… well, you'll see.

By the way…

Thoughts

"Ritsu, when speaking into Chiba's mind."

"Normal talking"

"CLASS REACTION!"

"Nagisa! Since school ended early today, do you wanna hang out?" Kayano asked cheerfully.

"Sure. There's no homework anyway." The androgynous boy packed his backpack.

The sun was still shining rather too brightly, as if it were trying too hard, and subsequently, the room looked like a cheerful type animation…. Class 3-E's run down wooden building almost had a rustic air to it, instead of the usual "oh my god, it's all gonna collapse on me!" feel. The mosquitos were thankfully all avoiding the place, and the woods actually seemed nice for once and not full of rather creepy things.

(Thus it came to be that that day was almost perfect in complexion. The world pulling out all the stops, feeding into its rather large vanity.)

We say almost perfect because of the contented feel being ruined by Okajima reading a porn magazine hidden under his desk while having a nosebleed. Or rather, the contented atmosphere was corrupted by too much gleeful staring.

Suddenly the magazine disappeared.

"Agh!?"

"Okajima-kun, I'm confiscating this disgusting magazine!" Korosensei then appeared at the front desk while holding the porn magazine, over-dramatic as ever. He was acting like a conquering hero, holding out the porn mag like a rather gruesome trophy…

The class sweatdropped.

"SAYS THE ONE WHO READS SAID DISGUSTING MAGAZINES EVERYDAY!"

But it was the end of the day, and the incident was left at chastisement of their hypocritical teacher. The students began getting ready to get out of school. It was then that Chiba Ryuunosuke left his seat and quietly left the classroom alone.

He was noticed, of course. In a small class like theirs, with a secret like theirs, everybody knew everybody. And what with the extra observation lessons that Karasuma-sensei had thrown in…

"Hey, Nagisa. You ever noticed that Chiba-kun barely talks to anyone and is usually quiet?" Maehara asked.

"Yeah… he's hardly spoken at all to me and doesn't talk in class. I think it's just his personality."

Maehara moved closed to Nagisa's seat and the front of the room, swinging the backpack onto his back. He opened his mouth to say something but was foiled when a new voice butted into the conversation.

"Why are you suddenly talking about Chiba-kun?" Kayano said, looking interested.

"I just found out he lives alone!" said Maehara.

"Really?" Nakamura then suddenly appeared right in front of them. "How'd you know that?"

"Whoa! When did you..."

Kayano stumbled backwards a bit before regaining her balance. Nakamura simply grinned at Kayano's reaction to her unsettling habit of just popping up. Mahara continued as if nothing had been said.

"I asked him yesterday when we were planning another assassination attempt on Korosensei."

"I wonder what he's doing later..." Nagisa mused.

The mechanical box screen lit up and Ritsu appeared unnoticed.

Giggle

*I*I*

Chiba Ryunosuke got into bed and put on a visor that connected to the computer. He closed his eyes...

A computerised voice. "Welcome to the GGO, commonly known as Gun Gale Online."

Chiba opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings, seeing a place which he has never been before. The people in his surroundings were mostly men: the majority of them had muscular builds and everyone was holding guns. He turned around and saw the reflective glass of a skyscraper and his avatar. He let out a breath in relief: the avatar looked exactly like he did.

Ritsu had told him that she had hacked into the system to give him his exact form, as well as increasing his stats to about the level, or a bit higher, to make his virtual body as close to real life as possible and easy to get used to, but she had also warned him that it might not be completely accurate.

So this is GGO...

A/N: Oh Chiba… why do you confuse your classmates so?
