Yes!! Don't own .Hack, okay? Lemme give you all a recap. If Kite's reaction didn't make sense to you then just go back a few chappies. Aura said that the object was vastly powerful but if used too many times, the user would suffer greatly. So… will Mimiru use the object? Or will Kite stop her- and let The World suffer? Dun dun daahh!!! Stay tuned for Login 11!!!! Read and review!

Login 11: The user of Aura's sacred object

"If we… use Aura's object then… we can beat him!" Mimiru managed to gasp out in between gasps for air.

"No, Mimiru!" Kite yelled, "If you do that, you could get hurt-"

"It's worth it for The World, isn't it?" Mimiru yelled back.

"…Mimiru…" Aura's gentle voice was heard.

Mimiru looked up. Then to her left, and her right. "…Aura?" she wondered confused. "Where… are you?"

"I'm here." The voice replied. "You don't have to see me to know I'm here."

Mimiru grasped the object super tight.

Everyone else around her seemed frozen in time. It was as if time had stopped and it was just Mimiru talking to Aura's voice.

"Aura, why-"

"Is there really no other way for you to beat this hacker?" Aura's voice sounded sad.

"Huh?"

"Mimiru, the reason I said the object's user would suffer greatly is because by itself that item you're holding has no power. On its own it has nothing and it can't do anything. The reason it's been able to transport you all over the place after the hacker is because it's been drawing on all your energy and power, Mimiru."

"What? I don't… get it." Mimiru was bewildered.

Aura's voice paused then started talking again. "You see, you believed that my object was extremely powerful but if you think back that everything that item has been able to do and it was all because of the power it borrowed from you. The truth is, Mimiru, you have to power to beat this guy."

"…Ah…"

"But you're right Mimiru. That object can destroy that hacker and can change everything back to normal and change The World you love back to the way it was. However, Kite is right."

Mimiru felt her sweaty hands loosen on the object.

And even though she couldn't see Aura just then, she could imagine the spirit of The World with a horrible sad expression on her face. "Kite's correct… about how if you use the object you'll be… destroyed."

Aura's object fell out of Mimiru's hands and hit the ground. It didn't make a huge sound but a soft tinkling sound. The tinkling sound unfroze everyone.

Mimiru was the one frozen in thought.

"Mimiru?" Kite wondered. "What's up?"

He went up to Aura's object. "You dropped it…" He bent to pick it up.

"No!"

"Wha-?" Kite jerked his head up.

"Don't touch it, Kite," Mimiru said. "I'm gonna be the one to use that object. So if you touch it now then you'll… be destroyed along with me."

Subaru and the others gasped.

"Mimiru…" Tsukasa spoke up, "what do you mean?"

Franzi's lip was curled in contempt. "I don't give a damn about what you're talking about. As far as I'm concerned, you and that item are just in my way!"

He took a huge running leap towards Mimiru and charged. Just as his blades hit Mimiru a huge light started shining from Aura's object.

"WHAT THE-?" He yelled.

Mimiru's eyes were white and blanked out. "I told you, didn't I? I was gonna be the one to use this object! And I just did!"

"NO!! MIMIRU!!" Kite yelled.

"Mimiru!" Subaru gasped.

"Mimiru?!?" Tsukasa stuttered.

"MIMIRU!!" Bear cried.

"Mimiru…" BT said.

"Mimiru!" Crim shouted.

"MIMIRU!!!!!" Black Rose exclaimed.

As Kite and the others watched with wide eyes, the bright light enveloped Mimiru and the hacker.

Mimiru's voice was fading fast as she yelled over the blinding light. "This object has no power unless it borrows energy from its user!! So the only way I can take you down, Franzi- is to DESTROY YOU ALONG WITH ME!!!"

The light filled up the whole screen and all the players felt themselves being blown away by the power of the blast. As the light shot out they all heard the horrifying scream of pain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

And Aura watched everything. Mimiru… you're really going to… let yourself be destroyed… just for the sake of The World? Even when you know that The World… is an unstable place. You know that its possible things will happen to your physical body outside the monitor… yet you still chose to sacrifice yourself? Is… The World… really that important to you?

Tsukasa opened her eyes.

"Where… am I?" she murmured. She blinked her eyes open and closed a few more times then opened them wide.

WHATTHE?

She jumped up to her feet. She had collapsed onto the ground and the still beeping head gear thingo was lying on the ground next to her. She stared at the computer screen which was black.

The World had… automatically shut down? She wondered. Then she remembered all those scenes she had seen before she had been logged out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!"

Tsukasa felt her shoulders tightened. That had been Mimiru. What had happened to her? Was she gonna be okay? And more importantly… what had happened to her real body?

Mimiru blinked her eyes open.

The warm rays of sunlight streamed in from the window next the computer which was blank.

Am I… alright?

It was morning now and in the last 2 and a half hours she had been in such a daze. She didn't understand. Aura had said that she'd be destroyed or at least 'suffer greatly' but here she was, her physical body perfectly fine.

Then suddenly she dropped her head gear thing. It fell to the floor with a huge crash and was smashed to a hundred tiny pieces.

Mimiru's eyes were opened wide. What… was that? She wondered in her head. What was that I felt just then?

It was like a sharp twisting kind of pain deep inside her stomach. She gasped again as she felt it once again. It made her want to vomit.

Plik!

"Huh?" she wondered. What was that sound?

Plik! Plik!

Then she saw it. Tiny little drops of blood falling onto the computer keyboard and trickling between the keys. Her eyes widened. The blood was coming from her hands. It trickled down her fingers, along her wrist and dropped onto the keyboard.

Her hands… they were… terrifying.

What? What… is this? She cried in her head.

Her fingers had tiny little cuts and bruises all over them. The palms of her hands were black and blue with bruises and there were the cuts that were all of a sudden rapidly appearing all over her hands.

Then something zipped by her side. It started to bleed. And hurt. A lot.

She stared down. Her shirt was cut at the side with a light gash that dug into her skin. A gaping red mark was left there and tiny beads of blood started appearing.

Tears appeared in her eyes. "WHAT IS THIS?" she cried.

It happened again. Cuts started appearing all over her body; they were tearing her clothing and cutting her cheek. It hurt.

And all through it the blood kept dripping onto the keyboards. And then her stomach twisted again with that deep pain.

"…the user will suffer greatly."

SUFFER GREATLY…

The two words repeated themselves over and over to Mimiru. Now the pain was going too far. These cuts all over her body and the horrible twisting burning in her stomach.

Then a huge burning pain took over her whole body, exactly the same as the pain she felt when she had been whited out by Aura's sacred object.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!"

The scream was followed by the heavy thud as Mimiru felt herself falling off the chair and hitting the floor. Blood continued to trickle from her hands and at the same time tears kept falling into a puddle on the floor.

And she lay there, in her tattered clothes and injured body, and slowly slipped into a loss of consciousness.

Did that sound like a bit of horror? Well, it wasn't meant to. Oh well… Don't forget to review! Because if you don't, Mimiru may never see the light of day again!! Mwahahahahaha!! Nah, just kidding! I just hope you'll review to encourage me to keep writing this! R&R!
