"Where have you been?! Was it really that hard to ask a simple chore of you?" Chigusa's mother asked before she could even walk inside the house. Slipping off her shoes Chigusa sighed, "I got detracted by something." It wasn't a lie, she really did got detracted, even if the detraction was the hunky and cute Ryou. -She loved the fact that she could think of him as Ryou now, she felt as if she was closer to Haseo, erm Ryou then ever before.
"And what was it that was more important then bring the stuff for dinner home?" Her mother inquired.
"Oh it was this guy I met on line. He was a complete jerk when I first met him, but now I've fallen madly in love with him. I want to marry him, and have all his babies. I happened to meet his player in real life in the store. And WOW he has a nice butt, not that I would look at that kinda thing." For a moment, Chigusa saw herself saying these to her mother, and the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she choked them back and lied instead.
"Oh, nothing much, the city looked so pretty today, and I had to stop and look at everything around me. And I just lost track of time, when I looked at my watch again I knew I was late, so I ran to the station. And here I am" Chigusa reported and set the bags on the table. Her mother came over and started sorting through the bags. She looked over at Chigusa, who was wiggling around, her hands behind her back.
"Yes you can go to your room." Chigusa squealed and ran off to her room.
"God, what did I ever do to make that child they way she is?" Her mother asked herself.

Atoli ran into her room and giggled before falling into her bed and squealing happily.
"Oh I meet him! I meet HIM! And oh he is so cute! I knew he had to be cute, because his character's so cute!!" She grabbed one of the many stuffed animals on her bed, a pink and white cat, and cuddled it.
"OH Mr. Bun-Bun! I talked to him!" She squealed and cuddled the cat. ⌠He is such a nice person! And now I know where he works!!!" She sat up quickly and wiggled around. "I know where to find him!" She picked up a another stuffed animal, a purple fish, and brought it close to her face. "I don't have to sit at my computer all day waiting for him anymore!" She screamed and jumped up. Then she started dancing with the stuffed fish.
"Atoli and Haseo equals love! Chigusa and Ryou equals love!" She cheered as she spun around. "When I marry him I will be Mrs...Hey! I forgot to ask his last name!" She gasped and stopped dancing.
"Noooooooo!" She wailed and threw the stuffed fish away. She was half-way to the bathroom to get her other friend Mr. Cuty, the razor blade, when she stopped.
"I'll just go back and ask him!" She was about to open the door to her room when she thought out loud, "I can't go back tonight...i'll look like a total stalker.. I'll go tomorrow!"She nodded to herself, "That's a great idea!" She dropped back onto her bed and grabbed a stuffed pig.
"If I ever get the chance, I'll need practice to kiss him. So Mr. Oinkers, you're my test dummy!" She grinned and made out with the poor stuffed animal.

After a few hours, Chigusa stopped molesting her doll, and ran to her computer.
"I have a date with HASEO.!!" She sang happily. "I hope he's home from work now. And I know where he works! Teehee" She did a little happy dance in her chair.
Turning on her computer, and typing in her password, which was Haseo of course, Chigusa gazed happily at her wallpaper. It was a half-naked yaoi couple making out.
"Damn sexy guys...if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have come up with that stupid SN that I told Ryou." She cursed at them. "...But...your soo..pretty! I can't stay mad at you!!" She cooed at the picture. She clicked on the 'The World" icon and slipped on her headset.
"Haseo here I come!!!!"
Atoli logged into Mac Anu and appeared inside the dome. Looking around, she didn't see anyone she knew so she ran outside to the city.
"Where's Haseo?" She muttered to herself. She ran around until the home was in sight. She was about to run over to it and see if maybe Haseo was in Canard's home, she had been given a key, but before she could get there, she saw her favorite person standing in front of it. She was going to yell out his name, but another person came into her view, a girl, and she was standing next to Haseo. Atoli growled, and was about to march over to them, but then the girl leaned over and kissed Haseo, full on the lips.
Chigusa had to will herself not to scream at them, and to rip her headset off. She would find out who this girl was, and keep her AWAY from her man. She went back to watching, but by this time the girl was walking away from Haseo, with his eyes following after her. Soon the girl warped away, and Haseo gave what looked like a sigh of relief.
He looked around, and Atoli ducked behind the building she was peeping from, then warped out as well. Atoli leaned with her back to the building and slid down till she was sitting on the ground.
"I will not let that hussy get MY man! I'll do whatever it takes! I will be Mrs. Ryou, his-last-name!" She promised to herself. Just as she was thinking of ideas to "get rid" of the girl, she got a short-mail from Haseo.
"Hey Atoli, you ready to go on the quest? Meet me at the dome" Atoli jumped up, and wiped the back of her skirt off.
"He will be mine...no matter what." She said, clenching her fists into balls.
She walked off, down the street to the dome.
-
When she got there, Haseo was leaning up against a wall, when he saw her he called to her.
"Where were you? It took you a long time to get here." She bowed deeply, "I'm sorry! I was getting some healing items in case we needed them," she lied.
"Oh. Don't be sorry, I hadn't thought of that, but that's a good idea...I guess. I figured since you were a Harvest Cleric, you'd be fine without healing items..

"Even I can run out of SP you know." She replied.
"Huh...never thought of that."

She smiled. "Well let's go! You can choose the area today. So lead on Haseo!"

"O..kay." He stood up and walked over to the Chaos gate.
He was quiet for a while, and Atoli guessed he was picking key words out, so she waited quietly. Soon a bright light surrounded her character, and her screen went black. The Mac Anu server symbol, along with the words Cheering Floating Wishes came up on her screen. After a while the area, which was a green grassy, hilly place came up on her screen.
"Oh!" Atoli squealed and ran over to the edge of the map, which happened to be a beach, and let the waves lap at her feet.
Haseo sighed and followed after her, stepping into the water as well.
"Isn't this fun?!" She asked.
"Oh yeah, big fun." He said with sarcasm in his voice.
Atoli sighed and walked out of the water. "You're a bad liar.." She said quietly.
He looked over at her. "Atoli..."

"Let's go." She whispered and walked away.
"Atoli!" He shouted after her.
She broke into a run, she didn't want him to hear her sobs. First she sees him kiss a girl, and now he didn't want to be alone with her. Didn't he like her?
She was so busy thinking, that she didn't notice when she ran into a monster. She ran into the back of the monster, and the battle area formed around her. She fell on her butt, and looked up at the monster. It growled and raised a huge paw. Atoli screamed and held her staff above her body. The monster brought it's paw down, and Atoli screamed again.
"Help!" She yelled as the monster raised its paw for another attack.
"Help.." She whimpered, and her character started to glow bright blue, and a weird pattern, that looked like eyes, appeared on her skin.
" I am here for you... ," a soft, voice called inside her head.
The monster brought it's paw downward, and then... Haseo was standing above Atoli, his two blades blocking the monsters paw. He growled and pushed the monster back, then he swiftly traded his blades for a huge sword. He jumped up into the air, and brought his sword down on the monsters head. The monster died and faded away. The battle area, and Atoli's and Haseo's weapons disappeared. Atoli didn't move from her spot on the ground.
"Atoli!" Haseo yelled and ran over to her. He knelt down next to her, and using one hand lifted her head into his lap, and rested the other one on her stomach.
"Atoli?!" He yelled worriedly.
She moaned and weakly said "Innis."

"Atoli?" He asked again, quietly.
"H..Haseo.." She whispered and started to cry. She buried her face into his character's arm.
"Atoli..." He whispered and pulled her up, she was confused and thought that he was trying to push her away.
She pushed away from him, and ended up on the ground in front of him.
"I'm sorry that I had emotions in front of you!" She yelled and stood all the way up.
"I'm sorry that I trusted you! God I am so stupid! To think that you would care about my feelings!"She sobbed and angrily wiped her tears away.
"To think that you would ever care about me!" She cried harder and brought her head down to her hands and sobbed into them.
"I'm sorry...that love you..."

Haseo stood up and walked over to her.
"Just leave me alone!"She yelled and tried to hit him. He grabbed her hand, and she stopped and looked up into his eyes.
Then he moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her.
Her arms hung limply at her sides, as his body was pressed to hers.
She wondered how long it would take until he let her go, but after a minute or so, he was still hugging her. She slowly moved her arms up, until she wrapped her arms around his chest, and hugged her back.
"Atoli..I care about you...I may even love you..."He whispered in her ear.
