Author's note:

Thanks everyone who reviewed my story! I would just like to note that, even though I had had explanations of each chapter in relevance to Shakespeare's AMSND I decided to remove all of it and replace all the chapters with just the fanfiction and no explanation. The reason was because I believe that the works people write should already be enough to make readers understand their story, and by me writing detailed explanations of what happened, I am not following that rule. I have read through my previous chapters and I am sure that it is enough for non-Shakespeare readers to understand anyway (unless you don't, and I WILL be concerned… please tell me) so I hope that my story will be satisfying for everyone. So all in all, please enjoy! Ja ne!

Luv always, Fëaruin

Izzy

"Bye, Kari," I remember waving to her as Yolei dragged her off so long ago. It was only moments before the incident which made my friends' lives change for certain.

I liked Kari (or Hikari Faerie Kamiya, sister of my friend Taichi Demetrius Kamiya) although, due to Yolei and Davis' rivalry, we were supposed to be great rivals. She was probably as dark and mysterious as myself. I'm not too good at descriptions, but this is how I see her: she has very beautiful short brown hair, with two long pieces that framed her face at the front. (She looks remarkably like one of my other friends, Ken Bottom Ichijouji, who is planning to do a comedy Cinderella this year.) Her eyes were a startling shade of wine red, not scarlet but maybe just as mysterious as blood scarlet. We were really close friends even though we were meant to be great rivals, which made me like her even more.

Before long, Davis appeared out of the belt of trees. His eyes were fiery and vengeful, but as soon as he saw me, he only smiled.

"Hi, Izzy…" he said in a low tone. "I've got a plan. But for it to work, I'll need your laptop."

I backed away. I'd been described as a computer nerd by everyone only because I used more intricate vocabulary and I carry a laptop around my shoulders. But now, that's not true. I'm a lot more laid-back, and even though I do, I can still glue myself to my passion of computing as well as always. However, the tone in which Davis had just said that statement had made me shudder, and besides, I really dislike having my laptop touched by others.

"Hey, stop worrying," Davis slapped me on the back, "I'm not gonna do anything to your precious computer. But can you do something for me?"

"Such as…" I began.

"Do you think it is possible with some of that computer mumbo-jumbo to make Yolei fall so madly in love with someone that she will be too distracted to care about Kari?"

"That's humanly impossible! You are insane!" I protested. "That'll need some kind of input sort of electroencephalogram… well, not really, since they RECORD brain waves. But well, it needs some sort of brain-input device, and I need to know what you want me to put into her brain, and a program much more powerful than what I have on my insignificant laptop, and…"

"Yeah, whatever," Davis said with boredom dripping from the tone of his voice. "Go… find one of them. Tell me when you're done and meet me back here."

"Hohh, fine," I said, and set to find these items. It turned out to be a lot harder than I thought, for I had to go all the way to Universities to rent all these items, tinker a bit on my own and with my University friends in the design of the program, so that everything would work out. In the end of twenty-four long hours I dragged myself exhaustedly back to the park, carrying a schoolbag full of equipment. I'd thought this was humanly impossible, but in the end, with the help of some of my University friends (who at first looked at me as if I was nuts and yelled that it was humanly impossible and that I was insane) it all worked out.

"I've done it, Davis," I explained. "I thought that it would never work out but it can. This is not magic, but science, and though I can't make her fall in love with someone the way sorcery can, I can do it another way. Do you know the whole concept of how fish follow each other, and if you remove part of their brain the fish will go off on its own? Well, this is something like that, and instead of removal, we will put something in. Like images and information of the person you want Yolei to fall in love with, for example, though it is guaranteed to NOT work 99%…"

But Davis was only nodding, and not listening. Davis had been staring at the belt of trees behind him the whole explanation through, almost open-mouthed. "Are… you okay, Davis?" I asked, slightly irritated that he hadn't listened to a word I'd said.

Davis swung round to me. "Izzy, forget Yolei for a moment. Since I'd arrived here an hour before you, I'd seen this guy here being chased by a girl, about sixty meters away from here. I couldn't make out who they were, but I could hear their shouting voices all right. She loved him but he was in love with someone else who he had not yet won the heart of. He yelled at her and verbally abused her."

"Oh, poor girl…" I said sympathetically.

"Yeah. Since you've got your equipment, go find him, and make him fall in love with that girl. Knock him out using a rock or something, then make sure that he falls in love with her when he wakes up. You've got the school records of everyone this year right?"

"Gee Davis, I didn't realize you were so compassionate," I teased.

"Yeah, yeah. I noticed that they were wearing the Odaiba School uniform although I did not see their faces. They were here about ten minutes before you arrived. Hurry up and go find them."

I sighed and ran off. I was tired of Davis commanding me all the time. I was still thinking of that when I saw Sora suddenly run past me about thirty meters away. I was shocked to death, and I followed her for ten minutes, until I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Meems, find me if you can!"

Quietly, I followed the voice, only to be surprised. It was Matt, one of my friends at school. He must be the guy who Davis couldn't recognize because he was too far away, but Matt and Davis knew each other well. And yes, as Davis had accurately given the detailed account of, he was wearing our school uniform. And since he'd just called out Mimi's name in a playful way, the girl whom he loathed has to be most likely Sora, since I was following her only until I heard his voice.

At that time, ages ago, I didn't realize that the two people Davis had seen were Tai and Sora, nor did I know that there was something between Mimi and Matt. I thought they were just friends and they were being playful with each other at that moment. So I decided to act quickly and just do as Davis had told me to do.

When Matt was nearby, I made sure Mimi wasn't around, and immediately lunged at him. He was very surprised as he didn't know who grabbed him and I resisted every time he attempted turning his head to see my face. I wasn't very strong at all, but I knew that if I let him resist I would be in big trouble, so using all my energy on him, I clamped my hand over his mouth until I sensed him struggling to breathe, and he passed out.

I was afraid of being noticed since it was daylight, and it was almost getting dark as it was right after school, so I tried to act as fast as possible. I wrapped some supporting material around his head and strapped him to other small devices, and gently opening his eyes with my fingers, transferred the virtues and other very interesting appealing, sensual, enticingly edited pictures of Sora into his empty unconscious eyes. As I watched Matt's empty eyes glimmer with the light of the laptop screen which he was- unbeknownst to him- watching, which was flashing Sora's goodness, I didn't know why I bothered doing it 'coz I knew it wouldn't work- it was humanly impossible. However, if it doesn't work I can easily blame Davis for it and he didn't have the right to place any of the blame on me.

I couldn't stop feeling so guilty, since he was a friend, and I'm doing something so stupid now under the influence of Davis, something that could probably not be done until two thousand years into the future. But Davis had been so compassionate to relationships that did not work out that he was probably doing it for all the best. With sneaky agility I left, hoping for him to wake up to arousing images of Sora (altered by University friends) swirling before his eyes, and end up falling in love with her as Davis desired.

Okay, so this was good for my studies, as I had been interested in the human brain for a while now and I knew a little bit from the time I was a bit obsessed with studying its functions. But I was guilty tried not to feel guilty about it, and just leave the rest to Davis.

To be continued…
