Chapter 2: Discovering Competition

2 girls with feelings and 1 guy confused. What's about to happen now?

Subaru just found Tsukasa and Mimiru and things are about to get ugly.

"So Tsukasa, where would you like to go now?" Mimiru asks.

"I don't know. No place special." Tsukasa says smiling.

Tsukasa and Mimiru get up from the bay area, only to turn and see Subaru.

"Hey Subaru." Mimiru says.

Subaru gives a weak smile and walks up to the 2.

"Hey Tsukasa, I need to talk to you." Subaru says.

"Hey and about what?" Tsukasa asks.

"Oh I can't say it here. Uh Mimiru can you give us a minute." Subaru asks turning to Mimiru.

"Ok sure." Mimiru says with an unsure tone in her voice. She walks back over to the bay and waits.

"Yes Subaru." Tsukasa says.

"Well I don't know how to say this, but I have well been, well thinking a lot---" Subaru is interrupted by someone logging in behind Tsukasa.

"Hey Tsukasa." BT says. Tsukasa turns around to face her, which brings Mimiru from the bay area.

"Hey what's going on?" Tsukasa asks.

"You up for an adventure today?" BT asks.

"Yeah I am." Tsukasa says. "You wanna come Subaru?"

"Sure." Subaru says.

"I'm coming too." Mimiru says grinning. That just put a damper on Subaru's confession moment. With Mimiru around, Subaru can't confess because she might have the same feelings for Tsukasa.

:::::Just wonderful::::: Subaru thinks.

"So where are we going?" Mimiru asks.

"Oh to Carmina Gadelica." BT says. "That's alright isn't it?"

"Oh of course." Tsukasa says.

"Ok let's go." BT says as they all log off the Mac Anu server.

Carmina Gadelica*

The Four Players just logged onto the Sever Carmina Gadelica.

"Well it's awful quiet here. There are usually other advance players here." Tsukasa says looking around.

"I wonder if A 20 has been here since she started." Mimiru says.

"What was she doing here?" BT asks.

"Oh we were here together before on some journey." Mimiru says turning towards everyone.

"Well let's go." BT says as they begin walking the channels of Carmina Gadelica. As they walk Subaru can see how close Mimiru is to Tsukasa and decides to get closer on his other side.

"So what are we going to do on this server BT?" Tsukasa asks.

"Just look for Items and stuff." BT says.

"I can sure use some more." Mimiru says.

"So can I." Subaru says speaking up.

"Subaru, you don't even battle like we do, so how can you be out of anything?" Mimiru asks.

"Well it's always good to keep a never ending supply." Subaru says, making Tsukasa laugh.

::::He finally Laughed::: Subaru thinks staring with awe as he smiles.

:::He finally laughed::: Mimiru thinks staring with awe as he continues to smile.

They walk into a cave. Subaru comes up with a plan.

"Can we stop please? I'm a bit tired." Subaru says pretending to be tired.

"Uh BT can we stop? Subaru is tired." Tsukasa says as Subaru smiles. Mimiru can see what Subaru is trying.

"Yeah Let's take a break." Mimiru says, secretly grinning.

Tsukasa and the others find a place to sit, with Mimiru and Subaru sitting close to him.

"Tsukasa, would it be ok if I put my head on your shoulder for a minute?" Mimiru asks sweetly.

"Uh sure." Tsukasa says unsure of what to say.

Subaru growls under her breath.

"How long are we going to be here resting? I want to go on an adventure." BT says.

"I don't think I would be able to walk too much longer." Subaru says turning to Tsukasa. "Would you like to carry me?"

"Carry you?" Tsukasa asks as Mimiru sits up a bit from his shoulder.

"Yeah I get tired real easy. You wouldn't mind it would you?" Subaru says batting her eyelashes, which makes Mimiru roll her eyes.

"How about if I helped you walk?" Mimiru asks Subaru.

"Yeah that would work." Subaru says with a fake smile.

::: I was hoping Tsukasa would carry me so I can confess then.:::: Subaru thinks to herself.

Tsukasa never had this kinda experience with women before, so as a man he starts to shake very lightly, while being caught between 2 girls.

"Well I think I'm rested up enough." Mimiru says. "Thanks Tsukasa for letting me borrow your shoulder."

"Uh you're welcome." Tsukasa says as everyone stands up. Tsukasa helps Subaru up, who smiles sweetly.

::::She just needs to drop the act.::: Mimiru says to herself.

"Well can we go now ladies?" BT asks.

"Yeah let's go." Mimiru says as they all begin walking again. Subaru and Mimiru are once again moving close to Tsukasa.

"Tsukasa, I don't have to log out for a while, so after we come from here, let's go sit by the lake and catch up on something's." Mimiru says.

"Sure ok." Tsukasa says.

"Um before you do that, I would like to go back to the boat. You know so I won't be in the way when you two go sit." Subaru says. "Is that ok Mimiru?"

"Oh that's fine." Mimiru says putting on a phony smile.

:::She's not getting Tsukasa.::: Mimiru thinks to herself.

BT knows what's going, but just won't say anything about it. Instead she's staying out of it.

Ok enough for now, please review and Thanks.
