/FILE OPEN...TILL DEATH DO US PART...2/

BING!

"Hmm? mail? from Blackrose?"

Subject: Why didn't you show up like you promised? From: Blackrose

What happened yesterday, Reaper? you logged off like right after you went to see Helba. What happened there? please tell me! Rena and me are worried that you're hiding something from us and we don't like it! I know things have been hard for you but that doesn't mean you need to face them alone, we're here with you every step it takes. So please, for us both babe, talk to me. Love ya!

"Yeah. Problems...friends...she really does love me, she called me babe. Guess I'll try and talk to her." I tell myself

Mac Anu

"Sorry for being late, Rose."

"It's okay, babe. Now, what happened yesterday?"

"Uh..."

"Yes?"

"Uh..."

"Reaper," now her expression was a meloncholy and depressed one

"Rose...sigh... Yesterday, the reason why I logged out so early is because, well, I don't know how to explain it really." I stutter

"What?"

"Hmm. Yesterday, me and Helba got into an argument and I lost."

"Lost? what--you aren't making any sense!"

Now her head rested on my shoulder and she was punching me and crying. My hand rubs her back softly and I try to talk again but don't instead I just stand there; hugging her and I started to cry also.

"Why won't you talk to me? why?" she cries

"Rose, Helba...she's, she's..."

"She's what! what is Helba, you talk as though you and her are related! what is she!"

'She really knows what words to use.' I think, now with a smile

"Rose. Helba is my sister."

"Your...your sister?" she spoke with shock

"Yes. And because I chose not to help her, she will get her payback. How, I don't know. I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what? Reaper, you gave up your bracelet to play again, and your avatar, you gave it up to because of the pain. What are you sorry for?"

"I...I don't know."

BING!

'More mail?' I answer

Subject: Lets play then, brother From: Helba

Hello again, brother. Why did you choose defy me yesterday, hmm? because of that now you must pay, but, I'm willing to forgive that action if you do me a simple favor, You eliminate Haseo, permanently. If you accept, send me an e-mail and I will see you in the arena.

'Arena? grace? delete Haseo permanently? she's doing this 'cause she knows I cannot win. You fucking tease--sister. Fine, I accept. Only after AIDA is destroyed though.' I sent her the e-mail reply and think of how I'm gonna win against The Terror of Death

"Reaper?" Blackrose rang

"Yes Rose?" I answer, now iback in tune

"What are you thinking of?"

"I...I'm thinking of how to make you joyful and happy, Rose." I answer

"Really? are you lying?"

"Yes. I'm sorry for that too it's just that I hate seeing you like this Rose, and I don't want you to be like this. Rose, I love you."

"I love you too, Reaper."

Now we both kiss each other not giving a care in the world who saw

"AHHH!"

"What the?!"

"Monsters! monsters here in town! Help!"

"AIDA." I firmly spoke

"Reaper,"

"Rose, I want you to go to Theta server."

"No Reaper, I won't! I'm going to be with you the whole way."

"Rose!" now I was angry,

"You can't draw your weapon like I can, so just go!" I pull out my newly acquired twin blades; the one's Rena gave me which I now called La Magra

"You...you can draw your blades in town!" shrieks one of the players before logging off(or something)

Thanks to that player's mouth, everybody vanished, leaving only the monsters, Blackrose, and me(in the immediate area)

"Reaper?"

"AIDA!" I shout, charging the closest bugs

'Reaper. Always on the offensive. Hm, guess I"ll do as you told me then, babe, but only this time.' she whispers vanishing to theta server

"Ahhh!" I cry, slashing the bugged creature into protect break

"Ahhh!" I hold out my hand, palm open screaming,

"Data Drain!"

When nothing happened, it hit me

"Shit! I forgot, I don't have the bracelet anymore--huh?!"

I just barely roll out of the way from a bugged Invisible

"Argh! damn it all, why'd I call her,"

Twilight!

"Oh well, guess it's done and over with--Argh!"

I then fall to the ground; paralyzed

"I...Ican't move, What skill is this?" I cough

"You're right Reaper," a female's voice spoke

"Who are you?"

"You don't remember me? what a shame." she scorns

'Who's voice is this?'

"Think back afar, my dear, dear Reaper. Very far back," she rings again with mellow

'Think back? how far?'

"Think back to Skeith."

'Skeith?'

FLASHBACK

Orca!--

"So you're telling me that this thing, if you will, comatized a player?"

"Yes Reaper, it did, I'm sorry to tell you that but Balmung told me to."

"You're dismissed, Tsai."

"Yes sir."

'I hate being an administrator.'
