Author's Note: I'm soooooooooo srry for not writing earlier. I had like 10 ideas in my head and I couldn't decided which one to write. Anywho... I'M BACK AND WRITING! :) Okay have you ever heard of a two part drabble? Me neither, well I'm gonna do it, expect with three parts. I've finished writing and typing them and I'll put up the next one this weekend (If I get on XD) I was reading it when I was proofing it and it was sooooooooo long I divided it into three seperate parts. Your gonna love it :) So here's my awesomely awesome new drabble :3

Disclaimer: I do not own .hack the only thing I own is this story and Kitsune :) :P :D XD :3

Past Present and Future P:1

Life normally shows you two roads, one is easier but won't get you nowhere, the other id harder but it shows more progress. At a first glance neither can be shown however, this is because it's concealed in the darkness. One way is always better than the other, but you'll never know until you try.

Some things only give you one chance and a moment to decide. Others give you day, months or even years to choose. However if you do not give your choice on the right time, your screwed. We learned this, the hard way; my friends and I, saving everyone's lives from comas can do that to you. Even when that person is your own, we'd rather die trying.

That's who we are, the .hackers. The Legendary Knights of Aura and the game The World. Each of us has our own story, own part in saving The World from these last three or four crisisses. Fear and pain ruled our instincts back then as we moved blindly through the game, adrenaline pounding through our veins. Emotional, physical and mental pain washed through each of us as each problem was solved. Every time we all needed a break from it all, to be regular people, kids and even parents. After that all happened though, it goes up and starts all over again.

You never know when it's going to hit.

We all wanted a break together so Zelkova and I made a reunion, for all the .hackers of old and new. Maybe Haseo will remember some of them. That would rock.

So here we are at the Hulle Grandz Cathedral waiting for the last few people to go and enter. Most of the old players had to create new accounts for their old ones don't work here in the R:2 version. Because of this we had to bring to the NetSlum personally.

"They're late." Orca whispered in my ear, calmingly but a pint of anger could be found. Irritated Orca walked over to Kite.

The three Azure Knights Orca, Balmung and Kite looked quite similar. Probably due to the fact of the three AIs made to look like them. Aura probably gave them there bodies to loan for the day. Thank Aura they didn't look like ragdolls.

Mimiru, BlackRose and Crim walked though the door. Mimiru and BlackRose ticked off for some random reason, again. I got a good look at them and saw the problem. They were once again wearing the same outfit but in different shades.

"Finally guys! We thought you'd never show!" Kite piped up, trying to distract them… didn't work.

Blocking them out I looked around and counted the people in the Cathedral. 1,2,3,5,7,10 people.

"Okay everyone is here. If Mimiru and BlackRose would stop arguing for a second I'll explain. Me and Helba have made a loophole in the system. When the floor turns blue type the word 'NetSlum' and it will bring you there. Everyone ready?" I explained.

Everyone nodded as they screamed "Let's go!"

I activated the loophole and the floor glowed pink then went blue. I watched as every .hack member disappeared. When I was alone I too wrote 'NetSlum' and left.

Zelkova did change the place to look different when I arrived. Decorations spread across the place, I was certain that fireworks would go off later, like last time.

I waved at the players that joined the party and walked over to Zelkova and Wiseman, they were talking. Everyone was here and we were going to introduce everybody.

"Seeing as we three know all of you we will introduce everyone in the .hackers." Zelkova started.

I was going to explain when Kite blurted, "We don't know you!"

"Kite, Zelkova is Helba ruler of the NetSlum and leader of MoonTree." Wiseman started. "And I am Wiseman. We changed our look and names so that CC Corp wouldn't catch us."

I nodded. "They didn't want any interference from the .hackers because they believed we would stop them in the creation of Aura."

Kite and the other nodded satisfied with our answer. He got all serious for nothing. "Good to see you Wiseman." Kite smiled friendly. Good thing this didn't go bad.

"Members of Project G.U. step up!" Wiseman commanded. All the Epitaphs answered by getting in a lone.

I started to sweat. "Don't be so mean Wiseman, now we'll go down the line starting with Haseo-" I walked over to the silver haired boy. Haseo waved back and I continued. "This is Atoli and Shino-" I said as they too waved. "-Kuhn and Pi-" the couple blushed and bowed, "- And this is…"

"ELK!" I heard BlackRose scream in my ear.

"Close this is Endrance, but yes the player is the same. And this girl's name is Sakubo." I finished quickly. Sakubo giggled and grabbed En's arm only to get pushed and pulled by BlackRose and Kite.

I chuckled. "And for those who are still listening this is Ovan and Aina." Ovan smiled as Aina bowed respectfully.

Zelkova smirked as he yelled at the next group. ".hackers in group A line up!" Beat and the other lined up.

"Nice." I whispered to Zelkova as I rolled my eyes. He snorted. "This is Tsukasa and Subaru-" I started as everyone's eyes moved towards me. "-These people are Mimiru, Bear and BT." I sighed then looked at Crim. "And some of you know Crim the Lightening."

Crim smiled. "Call me Crim." I chuckled.

Wiseman ignored us and went right back to point. ".hackers group B line up!"

"We have the Azure Knights Orca, Balmung and Kite. Then we have BlackRose and…" I sighed. "I would say Elk but En has already been introduced."

Everyone laughed. "Then let's get the party started!" Kuhn cried. Pi calmed him down.

"Kitsune told us all about Kite's adventures but never Tsukasa's. Why is that?" Pi wonder out loud.

Tsukasa walked up to her. "I could think of only two reasons behind that." She/he smiled.

"And why is that Tsukasa-san?" Atoli politely asked.

Tsukasa blushed. "Well the main reason would be Sora, what happened to him when we escaped. It was… terrible. The other would be because of how fragile I was back then." Tsukasa said stern and serious.

Haseo walked over to Tsukasa. "Sora, what type of guy was he?"

Tsukasa shrugged. "Confusing, but I didn't really talk to him. Ask Mimiru or BT, he talked to them more than me."

Haseo nodded and walked off to talk to Kuhn.

Mimiru and Subaru walked up to me. Both of them looked distressed. "What's up?" I asked.

"I thought Sora would be here." Mimiru said.

"Yes. I wanted to apologize and thank him." Subaru spoke wearily.

I smiled wickedly. "Oh he's here, or his player is. One of these players, but I'm not gonna say who. I challenge you to a game. If you can find out who it is without asking questions to anyone but me, I'll do anything you want for a week. Well permitting it's reasonable."

"I'm in" Mimiru answered quickly.

"Me too." Subaru smiled, determined.

And so began my fun of tormenting the. As long as Haseo kept his mouth shut that is. Just to be safe I walked over to him and Kuhn.

"Hey guys!" I called.

"Hey." The both replied.

"Haseo I have a favour to ask."

"Depends on what."

"Nothing really. I just don't want you asking about Sora."

"Why not?"

"Some of my friends would swarm you if they found out. I don't want you to fell overwhelmed." Okay half of the truth…

"Thanks for the memo. I owe you one!"

"No problem. What are friends for?"

Kuhn stepped in. "Do you mind if I ask questions?"

I must have looked puzzled for he continued. "Haseo lost his memory after his coma, right? Well if he knew more than he might remember that time on his own. Haseo could message me questions and I'll ask them. Plus I'm pretty sure everyone in Project G.U. wants to know more about Sora. Mainly Atoli. I ask the questions them they'll think it's me."

"If Haseo's okay with it I won't object." I answered.

Haseo nodded. "Thank you Kuhn. I'd like that." His voice seemed lighter, softer maybe. Finally he was opening up to some real friends.
