I should be continuing the improvements of the other chapters, but I love my story too much I do not feel like going back and correcting the plot rite now. There are a lot more twists and turns ahead. If you are going to review soon, please tell me if my chapters have ANY kind of cliffhanger at all. That is what I am trying to achieve when writing these stories. I believe it is about time to say why I originally started to write this story. Besides wanting to express my bottled up creativity, I could not sit on a chair and live with myself not knowing a proper ending for the show, .hack//SIGN. At least 26 questions popped up in my head, and now I am trying to use my own creativity to answer them. Hopefully I will also answer some question you may have, especially if you have read somewhere the ending of the story and are as confused as I am. Let us begin!

Hitomaru clan

"And he?"

"Returned."

"They said he did not feel it was safe...the data logs say so."

"Well...we believe Subaru convinced him."

"Subaru...what has become of her?"

"She still trains. She has no more data then we do of Tsukasa. She only knows of his past..."

"Past what...?"

"I shall explain."

"Before you start, Ginkan, we shall move to a safer location for such a meeting."

"Yes, Miss Hitomaru." Ginkan went down onto one knee, as a sign of respect.

Hitomaru smiled. "Please, Kami." Hitomaru looked towards the candles above. "Computer! Room 12-09, Firewall Sprites 7,9 and 22-1."

"Will need such security?"

"Such matters need protect as follows."

Ginkan and Hitomaru were teleported to a white endless room; the only sign of existence were blue polygons. All was now visible, the face of the Queen lighten. Hitomaru was a conservative Player, so she was mostly dressed in robes of white. She eyes were sharp, but still possessed a slight feeling of innocence. Her hair was long and white, with tips of black. In her left hand stood a staff, ten feet tall, and it glowed with a hue of baby blue. At the tip were three silver rings tangling from invisible string.

"Kami..." The sight stunned Ginkan. No Player of the game has ever met Hitomaru in person, since the organization was formed only seven weeks earlier.

"Yes, Ginkan?"

He was released from his hold, and asked of the surroundings "This is how Subaru described the realm of Dark Aura..."

"Yes. I would feel that Subaru would be reminded of her adventure when she visits me here."

"You mean to bring her?"

"Yes. She is scheduled to have an invitation at six thirty-seven The World international time. It is the only time all three sprite have the guard of this room lowered to five percent."

"Speaking of invitations...I forgot to announce a sudden issue about Tsukasa. Before I was informed of the last meeting held by Three, I was met with Tsukasa in a bizarre location. As I was trying to receive answers of why he was in The World, he received the letter you sent to me before, as if he was given the power to hack into emails."

"Why did you not address this?"

"I am not sure. I am sorry...I was too stunned to make such large accusations."

"Excused. Has the memories of Tsukasa been returned?"

"It would seem so...we also had a more current conversation where we discovered he is able to log out to the real world...but into a different persons body."

"Into an Alias?"

"It may be. I happened that it is what occurred to me."

"Maybe Subaru may be able to clear some information."

"She will not co-operate."

"She will have no choice!"

"Then I must leave. Excuse me, Hitomaru, for issues still surround us." Ginkan logged out. "Problems shall disappear soon, my friend, soon."

Subaru, in a frozen attack position, appeared before Hitomaru.

"How...?"

"I see you are training, Subaru. Impressive."

"Are you...Kami?"

"I am Hitomaru, the leader of The Hitomaru Clan."

"Naming the clan after yourself?"

"It does not concern you."

"Why have you brought me?"

"Tsukasa.he is.still at large..."

"At 'Large'? He is no criminal! He is trapped within this game once more! For all I know this is a conspiracy..."

"What? Does a mere Player challenge my authority!?!"

"Do I question you? You only were given your position...I should not stump to your level. Computer! Remove all Firewall Sprites from this room!" The room lost its glow. "Like the décor. Brings back scary memories..." Subaru logged out.

"She still has access!?!?!?!? That...she will... Hitomari! Step forward! We have much work..."

As Ginkan returned, a shadowing figure appeared behind him.

"Kami, I return with-"

"Silence! Hitomari! Do you bring news?"

"Yes, sister."

Ginkan turned around. "A...20?"
