Disclaimer:
Aki stares down at the body in front of her...
"Do I really look like that?"
After many hours of pondering she looked up t see you, the viewers
"Oh Hello! Please ignore the drool coming form my bodies mouth" points to the body "Yeah...maybe I should explain"
-Scene Change- ((now in a classroom))
"This is me, my real body outside The World. Technology has now advanced and it's the year 2065. Now players can "semi-live" within the world. All of your mind and memories are placed into your data's character bank, this allows you to live in the world and have free thoughts. Now you don't have to log out to go to sleep or go to sch9ol."
Grins, "You can rack up a lot of detentions that way."
Sees you're starting to fall asleep and she bangs a giant gong
"PAY ATTENTION. While our mind is in the game your body is preserved in a cryogenic state, the pods are linked up to your own personal computers with the game's program installed. This way you can live and play in the world alls summer and your "real" body won't be harmed. It's sort to like what happened to Tsukasa except you can log out anytime you really wanted. The World is still a game after all, but this allows you to spend more time in it. This is only offered as a summer program for young teenagers and above. No risk involved.
Anyway. That's my story and why I never log out. I own nothing and enjoy chapter 4!
Chapter 4 Hidden Torture
There has been a silence between Jayko and Shugo, it seemed as if they were talking on a telepathic level. Their gazes remained locked, and sparks flew form their eyes. Each held their pride too high, and refused to back down.
The whole beach party seemed to have grown silent as well. They formed a circle around the two who were feuding. There were many murmurs within the crowd and peoples shot each other sideways glances.
Aki stood miserably on the sidelines, feeling utterly helpless. She had never expected these two to fight; frankly, she didn't even realize they knew each other.
Aki closed her eyes trying to calm herself. She listened to the waves breaking along the shoreline. She listened to the lone call of a seagull as it flew overhead. The wind weaved its way through her charcoal black hair and carried itself to the stars above. Those melodies mixed with eth crickets chirping and the salty air made Aki feel at ease. But she opened her eyes again to see that her problem still stood before her. Jayko and Shugo.... She never thought...this would happen.
"Jayko...I won't let you take Aki-Shinko. You can't treat her right." Shugo growled clenching his fists.
"Shugo, you should talk...you can barely walk straight, let alone protect Akira" he replied smugly.
"Akira? Her name is Aki. And how can you say I can't protect her when I'm a higher level? See for yourself, I've been training"
Jayko gritted his teeth and then pointed a finger straight at Shugo
"What would you know about love anyway Shugo? The only girlfriend you ever had KILLED herself because of you!"
Shugo stumbled back, as if hit by a powerful force. He closed his eyes and Aki gasped when she saw a tear fall from his face.
"She didn't kill herself Jayko.... I KILED HER! Elsie was on her way to meet me for our school dance when...a drunk ran a red light and slammed into her...she was rushed to the hospital in a critical state, but I stayed by her side." He sighed, "The doctors spoke to her parents, and then he came to me. He said Elsie's life had been left in my hands, I had the choice; keep her in this critical and painful state, or let her go and be relived."
He looked at Aki as if looking through her
"She could have remained a veggie state, with a small chance of survival. Or I could let her go, relieve her of all the agonizing pain." He paused and then looked up at Jayko with a deep anger and hurt in his eyes as tears flooded his cheeks "So don't you dare tell me who and how to love Jayko! You may be a high and mighty rich kid but you know nothing of hardships and love"
His last words he screamed, and Jayko backed away flinching, as if each word pounded up against his very soul.
Shugo turned to Aki "Aki, I love you. I know we only just met but I know you're the only one. I thought I could never love another after Elsie. But I feel at ease with you...if you want time I'll give it to you, even if you love another, I will always stand beside you. But please Aki, give me a chance"
Aki looked at Shugo completely speechless...She simply took a step forward, a weak step fearful of her movements. She looked frail, confused, and her eyes were mournful and teary. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around him.
Shugo looked down at her surprised, for a moment he slowly wrapped his arms around her. They had a moment of solitude, a complete understanding. And finally Aki looked back up at Shugo her face dripping with tears. She took her hand, and slowly wiped away Shugo's tears, which surprised him even more.
"Shugo...I am so sorry...I am sorry that you are burdened with this guilt. But do not feel guilty for easing her pain. Shugo you did the right thing, only those who truly love another, love them enough to let them go. Morn Shugo, morn the loss of your love...morn your love's death.... but loving me? I think you are confused and lost, and you need someone to stand beside you. I will be that friend, I will walk with you until you are ready to walk alone again."
"But Aki...I do lo-"his sentence cut short as Aki placed her fingers on his lips
"I barely know you, and I want you to heal and sort out your emotions first...then come find me." Aki stood on her tiptoes and kissed Shugo's lips, then logged out leaving both Shugo and Jayko alone in their silence.
"Aki..." Jayko clenched his fist with hatred and then disappeared within his gate.
Shugo still remained, the crowd gone as well. His fingers searched their way to his lips and he placed them there, still feeling the warmth of Aki and her pure heart. Shugo sat down on the sand, resting his head on his knees crying softly.
"Aki..."
End.

Hey guys. I know I know Chapter 4 was kinda short. But I ended it this way to give it more dramatic touch, that's why chapter 3 is so short as well. What will happen between Shugo and Aki? And what about Jayko?
Here's a pole, who should Aki choose Jayko or Shugo?
Read and Review and tell me who she should choose!!
