Author's Note: Everything's back up to speed now. I've forgotten what day
it is, though. _ I guess I don't have much to say, only that I don't put
much planning into this story. That would probably explain its poor
qualities. Thanks to my reviewer, Hana Towano. (Yes, I know who you are.
I'm just acting professional.) Maybe I should hunt down another category I
can stick this in and maybe people will read it.

Melicia's Bishoumon Adventures: Part Two
**Start: Chapter Four**
"Palin, Hotohori and I are meeting Kite in Carmina Gadelica. You can reach us in Theta if anything comes up."
Palin shook his head, deleting the e-mail. "What a nimrod," he muttered. "Kite must be a really nice guy if he's going to do anything for her."
~
Hotohori glared at the Chaos Gate. He continued glaring for a long time. Then he glared some more. Finally, he looked at Melicia and glared at her. "He's not coming."
"Poppycock. He'll be here."
Suddenly a red-clad twin blade warped into Root Town, accompanied by a long arm with long blonde hair. The long arm crossed her arms and glared at the tall buildings around them, unable to meet eyes with the girl that summoned them. Melicia ignored Kite's companion and stepped forward.
Kite countered and backed up. "You wanted my help?"
Melicia nodded, grinning. "Just get us in and I'm in your debt."
"You already owe us a favor," Gardenia commented, still averting her eyes. Hotohori blinked, a fleeting sensation occurring in his gut.
"Yeah, well. . .Thanks for coming anyway." Melicia shrugged.
Kite shook his head. "Don't worry about it. What are the keywords?" He narrowed his eyes. "And why do you look so familiar?"
"Oh, this isn't my computer. Someone gave it to me saying she didn't want anything to do with it." Melicia leveled her pole arm, a Bloody Lance. "So far I haven't found anything to be out of the ordinary."
Kite seemed to notice something about her that Melicia never saw. Either way, he repeated his earlier inquiry.
"Theta: Chosen, Hopeless, Nothingness," Hotohori voiced dreamily as he gazed into Gardenia's averted eyes. Melicia and Kite exchanged glances of extreme worry, but Kite's was of something much different.
"Are you sure you want to go there? I mean, there's this thing that shouldn't still be there, but it might be so maybe you'd rather. . ."
Melicia waved her arms around in an attempt to stop him. "Trust me, with my pal Hotohori here, we're indestructable. I've already calculated the properties of the field and dungeon anyway. Well, a friend of mine has." She remembered vividly Palin's expertise with figuring out just what a field would look like using the keyword system, something Melicia was totally blown away with. By this it means if she pondered too long on the system her head would explode; such is the misfortune of air heads.
"Okay, if you insist," Kite sighed.
Kite, Melicia, Gardenia and Hotohori warped into the Theta server, arriving, as usual, in the Root Town of Dun Loireag. Hotohori was close on Gardenia's heels (and being paid little mind), while Melicia stayed near Kite. The twin blade swallowed a lump in his throat, selecting the keywords and attempting to warp. This was followed immediately by the warning alert. He input the virus cores and broke the lock on the protected area, all of which only he was able to see.
Before Melicia could warp with Hotohori, Kite stopped her. "Something's fishy about all this. Do you mind if I come along?" His face was expressionless, but his voice told Melicia he was definitely worried.
Unfortunately, she wasn't all too quick on the uptake.
"'Course not!" she replied. "The more the merrier after all."
Kite looked at Gardenia. "Are you coming, too?"
Gardenia made a rude noise, voicing her displeasure. She then shook her head. "I'll wait." With that she disappeared using the Chaos Gate. Kite stared after her.
Melicia, meanwhile, added Kite to her party via flash mail and they were off.
Hotohori, broken from his reverie, pointed out that the field was noticeably corrupted and empty of all monsters. Kite did not look surprised, and neither did Melicia; although her lack of shock was due in part to her not caring. All she could focus on at the moment was her prize. With the adventure underway, two soon-to-be caught bishounen so very near, and a backup plan to boot (the likes of which has yet to be disclosed), what more was there to focus on?
**End: Chapter Four**
