Darkness:...well I wasn't planning on continuing this fic but since so many people have reviewed I thought

that I would write a second chapter...besides elk begged me to continue *chuckles*

Elk:*blushes a deep red*...I...I...I didn't..s...say...anything

Tsukasa:*looks over at elk*

Elk:*turns his head away and blushes even more*

Shinji:*smiles*...well we should start the story before all of Elk's blood goes to his head....as you know

we don't own .hack//SIGN or any of its characters

Darkness: Now lets start the chapter ^___^...btw every chapter will be before the very first part of

chapter one...the first part of the story is part of the epilogue

Elk smiled timidly as he looked around at the thousands of flowers that shown through out the field. The smell of the scarlet roses traveled through the field as it was carried by the breeze. His blue robes swayed slowly as his long sleeves were sent slowly up his arm from the cold air. Elk's turquoise bangs stuck to the sides of his face as he closed his eyes and looked up at the azure sky. The crimson ribbon of the wave master's staff slowly slashed back and forth in between the grass. Sighing peacefully he closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the scenery around himself. He then pulled off his navy blue hat and opened his eyes, "...I...I wonder if Tsukasa has gotten on...I...I hope he has...."

Sitting up he put his hands on the ground and smiled slightly while looking at a violet that perfectly matched Tsukasa's eyes. /...it was nice meeting him...I hope that I can see him soon...../.

His crimson eyes looked around the field a while longer but he then stood up and slowly raised his staff above his head,"...M..maybe I can find him at Carmina Gadelica..."

Tsukasa sat on top of a greyish boulder while watching the water that surrounded Dun Loireag. The wave master pulled his knees up to his chest and laid his head in his knees while looking up at the sky. He closed his eyes as he heard a faint bell ring.

Message:

Player: Elk

Subject:..h...hi

He...Hello Tsukasa....I don't know if you remember me from yesterday...but its me...Elk...I had fun talking to you...I...I hope we can maybe meet up soon...

Well, bye

~Elk

/...how did he get my member address...hm...I guess it doesn't matter...it was nice to talk to him too....besides I guess I have nothing else to do.../. Closing his eyes he replied back to Elk's Message.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Elk had sent the message to Tsukasa after he had tried looking for him at Carmina Gadelica. Not seeing him at all the wave master sighed but then smiled. /...I...I'm not surprised...he doesn't seem to enjoy the company of others...and I wouldn't blame him...s...so many people want to hurt him...but I'm sure he's innocent...he didn't seem like he would hurt anyone at all.../.

Elk sat down on a ledge while looking down at the water. Looking to the left he saw an ancient blimp pass by and he smiled slightly as he saw some players on it and enjoying the scenery. His staff was laid down across his lap while he enjoyed the mist on his pale skin. Suddenly the familiar bell tone was heard and his eyes opened since he had not expected Tsukasa to reply at all.

Player: Tsukasa

Subject: Re:..hi...hi

Hey Elk...I don't know how you got my member address but I would like to meet you again soon...I'm at Dun Loireag...I'll be waiting here if you wish to come...

Bye,

~Tsukasa

He smiled and gated to the server Tsukasa had talked about in his message.

The grey haired wave master remained sitting down on the grey boulder while looking out into the water. His eyes were concentrated on the water and he didn't seem to move an inch at all. Golden rings appeared behind a small hill in Dun Loireag as Elk appeared. Walking around the hill he stopped suddenly when he saw Tsukasa and blushed after a minute realizing that he was staring. His scarlet eyes slowly traveled up Tsukasa's back and he blushed again and sighed./...great...I can't think that way about him...I've barely met him...how could he possibly even feel anything remotely towards me.../.

Elk slowly began walking towards Tsukasa and stopped a few feet behind him but his eyes widened as he noticed the setting sun in front of the sparkling ocean, "...its...its beautiful..."

Tsukasa nodded and closed his eyes slightly, "...even though its virtual to the other players...its still real to me...I...I can feel here...". He pressed his hand against the side of his cheek and smiled slightly, "...I can feel the sun's rays on my skin and I can smell the salt water...its so real to me...."

"...Y...you...c...can feel too?..."

"...wait...you can feel the things here?..."

"...h..hai..."

Leaning his head against his knee's Tsukasa closed his eyes as Elk sat down next to him while leaning his forehead against his own staff, "....we are alike elk..."

The other wave master looked at him and smiled timidly as a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, "...I...I guess so..."

"....elk...."

Elk blushed hearing how softly Tsukasa had said his name, "...w...what?...."

"...have you ever felt like you don't belong....that no one shall ever approach you...that you will always be alone...."

"...y....yeah....but we aren't all alone...we all find someone sooner or later...no is meant to be alone...."

Tsukasa smiled a bit and opened his eyes, "...I hope so...."

Elk nodded and put his hand on Tsukasa's shoulder while smiling slightly, "....it is....you'll always have some one that will be here with you...and maybe I can be that person..."...realizing what he had said he instantly blushed, "...I...meant that...that..."

Tsukasa smiled a little bit more, "....elk...."

".....I...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...."

"...its okay...."

Elk looked at the ground and sighed, "....I really do understand how you feel....sometimes I don't know why I go on living at all....but I guess we will find out that purpose one day..."...looking shyly over at Tsukasa he blushed a light pink, "....T...Tsukasa....do...do you think that we might be able to find that purpose together?..."

He looked at Elk and smiled while nodding, "...yeah....yeah I do..."

A cold breeze started to blow and he could hear elk whimpering from the cold. Elk wrapped both his arms around himself while shivering./...its...its so cold.../. Getting up Tsukasa walked behind Elk and gently wrapped his arms around him as Elk blushed a dark red, "...T...Tsukasa...."

Holding him close to himself Tsukasa looked up ahead at the sun as it slowly disappeared below the water, "...shhhh...."

Yawning Elk leaned his head back against Tsukasa's chest and closed his eyes slightly as the faint blush still remained on his pale cheeks. One of his hands was held closely to his staff and the other to Tsukasa's right hand, "....s...so warm..."...

Looking down at the blue haired wave master Tsukasa just smiled slightly and brushed his bangs away from his pale skin as he gently kisses Elk's forehead, "...goodnight elk..."....
