Disclaimer: I don't own it. Please refer to chapter one if you want further
reference.
A/N: I'm really sorry I didn't continue sooner. I had a minor case of writers' block and a pile of homework. Not a good combination. Anyway, thanks for the reviews. I appreciate them all; I didn't expect to get so many.
Things you should know:
1. I don't live in Japan.
2. Therefore, Elk's address wouldn't exist, nor would his road or anything. I can only tell you he lives somewhere in Toyko.
3. I already know ja ne means "so long" or "see you" and I know kawaii... Do people think I'm really bad enough to not know some Japanese when I watch anime and play video games and read manga? --do you think I'm as pathetic as I think I am?--(no, that's impossible) Thanks for telling, though.
4. Thank you for informing me of my big mistake. I'll watch out for doing it as of now. (I corrected chapter one)
5. The keywords aren't probably accurate, so no informing me, "I went to the keywords you mentioned in the fanfic and it wasn't anything like you described it as," please.
--------------------------- Ahem *important*. These are the reasons to why Kite and Elk stick with their names in the real world.
1. You want me to name them something stupid? I can't create good names.
2. I'm sure that everyone wouldn't appreciate it if I called Kite something like Ben and Elk being Bob or whatever.
3. People don't want to adjust to a fake name given to someone. It'd be like making up an original character and making them take the place of Kite or Elk. ----------------------------
Okay, now read!!!!!!
Morning bunddled its light into another bright morning. The birds chirped their heads off without a care, knowing that there was no opposing force to demand an immediate stop to the sounds that were generated in their throats.
The morning was to oppose the night, as it had rained. The grass was greener than usual, and many people were set to work to trim the grass. The temperature was any normal morning temperature; not to hot or cold. It was always like this in this season.
Kite had gotten a decent amount of sleep after completing his homework. Other than the fact that he couldn't wait until Elk finally would e-mail him, he had slept well. Now he was awakened by the annoying alarm that did both good and bad.
*BEEP, BEEP*
Hitting the clock in a punching manner made the "beeps" stop, and Kite immediately sprang out of his bed. He would take a shower, change, comb his hair, have breakfast, brush his teeth, and then play on "The World" before going to school, not to mention check his e-mail.
He grabbed a random towel and began running the water. He always found it difficult to adjust the water to the perfect temperature. It would always change without any immediate acknowledgment, which lead to many screams.
After striping from his pajamas and entering the shower, Kite relaxed, and left his guard to sleep as he forgot about the consequences contained in the shower. However, the side effects of the shower never occurred, as he rushed into some casual clothing and began to work on his hair. The messy mob on his head.
Elk; he seemed to be hiding something. Someone wasn't that shy and nervous for no reason at all.
After completing his slightly altered schedule, he logged onto "The World" while munching on some toast.
~*~
"You've got new mail" showed up immediately as some soft music that had been placed intentionally began to play. Kite smiled with excitement as he accessed his mail, and found one message from Elk. He double-clicked it without hesitation.
"Hi, Kite. I live at: the 13th house on Reden road, in the south parts of Toyko. You know where that is, right? Well, I gotta go. Bye. We can meet later at Delta Hidden Forbidden Sunny Demon."
~*~
Again, the climate changed so fast as Kite had "entered" another world. Yes, he was lucky to have access to this place. So many players were in The World. So many faces. And not too many people to depend on.
"Later on" wasn't exactly a specified time. It was vague. Too vague to be able to guess. And, what level was that server, anyway? So little information provided.
Later on probably meant sometime at night. After all, it is a school night, and not to forget that not too many people would access the world around 6:00 a.m.
The best thing to do was to train and log out.

_SLAP_
"What did I tell you before?" The mother asked, but it was more of a command than a question.
"N-not to k-keep asking y-you w-why I must e-earn everything," Elk replied in a quiet voice filled with sorrow. He really wanted to just know why, but his mother always refused to answer him. He felt the newly formed mark made directly on his cheek in an attempt to annihilate the pain.
"I want you to do all the dishes, make me something to eat, and do my laundry. Got it?" The mother began tapping her fingers; those vicious fingers that would once again be brought into Elk's face in a matter of seconds, brought only to accompany the fists.
"W-why?" Elk implied again, and instantly regretting doing that as he suffered the consequence, being punched so hard that he fell halfway down the stairs, causing more wounds.
"I informed you, specifically, to do as told! Now do it before you have to stay home because of your injuries getting to painful!" She pushed him down the rest of the stairs, and he groaned as he got up, right after his mom went to take a shower.
Taking the opportunity for good use, Elk began examining his wounds. Blood stained the one blue sleeve of his shirt. A lot of blood. He lifted the sleeve up and gazed at the cut that was causing him the most pain out of all his injuries.
The cut was like it was constructed from a well-built, good aiming swordsman that has lots of experience. Blood was rushing out of it, and it was no doubt going to keep him home to do his mother's chores. Elk knew that it must've been from the stairs, since he vaguely remembered crashing his arm into the edge of one stair.
Silently, he began to walk around, occasionally swinging around beyond his control, and feeling like passing out because of lack of blood. He wasn't sure he could take this anymore, so he decided that after finishing his mother's orders he would log in The World. He basically had the whole day off, unless his mother bothered him further.
So, adding hot water into the sink, and having to insert his hands into hot dish water without any equipment, such as gloves, he winced and soon relaxed his hands into the boiling water. He should be used to it by now.
~*~
Night, or at least 6:00 p.m., finally reached its way into Elk's world. Finally, this was when his mother had to go to work; when he was safe from any disturbances. He immediately logged unto the world, as he wasn't capable of doing anything, thanks to his one arm.
Going onto Mac Anu and hoping that Kite would be there, he waited at the chaos gate after trying to call him into his party. Nothing. Better go on Delta Hidden Forbidden Sunny Demon. That's where they were to meet, anyway.
And in going there, he experienced difficulty. With his injured arm, it was difficult to manufacture himself. The controls...almost as though they were switched around in a manner that Elk didn't know where any of them are.
Elk took the time to study the environment. The grass was a dark green and there were lots of clouds in the sky. It was drizzling slightly, only an added effect to The World. There were some occasional trees placed around the field, and some small, colorful houses placed in random places. The majority of the enemies was the water type.
Kite finally arrived. Elk was just grateful that his character didn't portray his wounds. Kite came with an reasonable smile on.
"Elk, you know, we haven't gone on a dungeon adventure together for a long time. Let's go to the dungeon. The enemies shouldn't be too hard."
Elk agreed to go in the dungeon immediately, forgetting his disabilities. They both walked barely an inch before a monster portal was opened and summoned the monsters. Annoying, yet fun at the same time.
"Do you have the skill Vak Kruz equipped? This enemy is weak against fire." Elk responded by casting Vak Ruz on the monster and vanquishing it completely. The data slipped away as it was deleted. The monsters were defeated.
"Kite, these enemies seem weak," Elk said, pointing out the recent battle against the three monsters.
"The easier we get to the Gott statue," Kite replied. "Besides, we should get some good items," he added, "Plus, the enemies will get stronger the further we go down." He nodded to prove his point. So, they both continued, finding the dungeon entrance shortly after, and another portal.
Stepping towards the portal, they both prepares themselves for the fight. Once the enemies showed up, Elk used another Vak Kruz, killing the monster targeted instantly. Kite used Staccato to finish the only other monster left, and then collected the treasure.
Opening the treasure box, and obtaining a useless item, Elk let out a sigh. So, Kite's interpretation was wrong. The items weren't good. But, before he could protest about leaving the dungeon, another portal was activated, that was unnoticed until the windy noise echoed through the dungeon room.
Elk used another skill, Rai Rom, killing the enemy instantly, again. There were three more monsters left, and it seemed that the Twin blade was finishing them off, until he was unexpectedly attacked, causing a skill drain, taking almost all of his SP away.
Using more magic finished the last monster in the room. The two waited for their SP to heal to an expectable amount before continuing.
Going onto the third floor, and still fighting weak enemies, Elk really wanted to inform Kite that they probably wasted their time cleaning out the dungeon. But, as they entered the room with the Gott statue inside, he stopped.
Kite opened the treasure chest, and indeed, they got okay items, but not anything rare. Two yellow candies and a Raitei. He gave Elk one yellow candy, and told him to buy something with it.
And as they were about to leave the dungeon, they encountered a problem. No sprite ocarina. Bang. They had to walk back.
Upon going back, they made one wrong turn and encountered another monster portal that was activating before warning. Elk, again, only needed one spell to destroy it, and sighed. He couldn't keep it in him...
"These enemies are so weak, even I can kill them," he stated, loud enough for Kite to hear him. Kite killed the enemy in one slash and then gazed at him. "Did I say something wrong?" Elk asked.
"You don't have to beat yourself up," Kite started. "You are really helpful; from healing to using a spell when needed. I'm really starting to wonder why you think you are so weak."
So, it was bad that he thought he was weak? Not his fault. His mother gave him the interpretation. Tell it to his mother.
"Hey, that way is the exit, so let's get out of here, and maybe we can meet out of The World sometime. It's alright with my mom. Is Saturday available? Or maybe we could meet at Sakura park?"
"Maybe," he replied. "But, I have to go now." After reaching the field, Elk gated out and logged out. He just needed some rest.
