PG-13: I could probably get away with PG, but not sure just how violent it might get later, so better to be safe.
Author's Comment: So you know, all areas mentioned can be reached in the game and are to a great degree accurate.

If it were physically possible for Kite's jaw to touch the floor while still standing up straight, it would have done so at that moment. All he could do was just stare up at Natsume who was somehow quite oblivious to the shock on Kite's face, waiting for him to reply with her usual smile. Slowly the data was beginning to sink into his brain, but while it was still working its way in, his senses seemed to fade away on him. He was no longer surrounded by this young group of players, no longer in the dungeon, the area, the server, or anywhere. Silence filled the black air as light too faded away into nothingness.
A. . . a Lord Kite Fan Club? It was just too sudden, too absurd. He didn't deserve a fan club, let alone want one. He wasn't doing what he was doing in 'The World' for fame or glory, but to help Orca. And Lord Kite, that was totally unnecessary, ludicrous even. Sure Orca or Balmung deserved that title, but a not too long ago newbie like him? Would this mean that soon everyone would know his name, follow him around in 'The World' and ask him to join their party, or for advice, even autographs? Was it even possible for him to give out autographs?
After all, the only thing he had that made him any different from other people was the Twilight Bracelet, and the powers it gave him were not something he liked very much, despite their necessity. No, this fan club had to be a dream, or a joke, he couldn't really have a fan club. . . could he?
A sudden jerk and he was back into reality with all the sounds and sensations back around him save a clear view of what was in front of him. All that he saw was a bluish blur, as if his face was pressed up against some concave object. This was because, as Kite soon realized to his horror, while in he had been in what seemed another world, the others had not. Thus one of the girls behind him, Kite wasn't sure whether it was Mycinity or Ryoko, had not particularly liked the fact that Kite had frozen solid with eyes seemingly transfixed on the breasts of a now blushing Natsume. The sudden violent shove into his back that had brought him back to this world had not helped matters since Kite had not been at all on guard, and so fell forward into Natsume knocking them both onto the steps with his face landing between her breasts.
Blushing even more profusely than before, Natsume reached to clutch her heart, which was beating like a war drum and not realizing that Kite's head was between her hand and heart until the damage was done and Kite's face was pressed even more firmly to her. "Oh my Kite, you're being so forward all of a sudden. I don't quite know what to say." This statement however made the raging tension in the air skyrocket even more than it had been moments before.
Forcing himself out of Natsume's grip, Kite leapt to his feet panic rushing through his body. Reaching for a Sprite Ocarina, it suddenly occurred to him that he was at the dungeon entrance already and he quickly sprinted up the stairs, gating out the moment he exited the dungeon leaving his newly formed fan club in silence.
While the silence of the recently passed scene seemed to last for a short eternity, it was finally broken by a calm, collected male voice with a slight bit of amusement in its tone.
"Lord Kite short and slight,
Pressed tightly to girls bosoms,
What a Lord he is."
The crowd all turned to look at Wakizashi who stood there eyes closed with a large grin plastered on his face, left hand stroking his beardless chin as if there was something there to stroke. He was obviously reliving the scene in his mind. Slowly a few chuckles arose throughout the crowd until everyone save Mycinity and Ryoko as well as a slightly agitated SM Slayer off to the side of the room were laughing lightly.
Then KenRyu added in, "Man, Lord Kite is a player!"
This brought the crowd to full gales of laughter, causing Natsume who was still sitting on the floor to flush red again and Mycinity to quake with anger. Ryoko was the only one of the three girls present who had Kite's Member Address not to react. Instead she just touched her own cheek and said, "I didn't realize he was like that, what a surprise."
Only Mycinity heard her though as the rest of the group had begun to migrate down the hall towards the back of the room, leaving Ryoko and Mycinity standing where they were and Natsume still on the floor. SM Slayer and Nightstar were off in the corner on their own having one of their usual discussions.
"No, I can't believe that," Mycinity replied, "he's not like that at all."
Natsume shrugged. "That's what I would have thought too, but his lips on my breasts say something else." Going dreamy-eyed for a moment, Natsume sighed. "If only I had known he felt that way sooner."
Mycinity growled under her breath. "No, I refuse to believe that my Kite would be like that, he can't be. Maybe he was just overwhelmed by the news and couldn't contain his joy for a moment."
Ryoko though was now staring at Mycinity. "Your Kite? I didn't know you and Kite were a couple. I was under the impression that Kite was single and available."
"Well," Natsume added in as she finally started to rise to her feet, "I always thought he was with BlackRose."
Ryoko nodded. "Well perhaps we should send him an email and ask."
"Maybe." That was all Mycinity could think to say.
Laughter burst out from the far end of the hallway now and the three girls turned to look down at the crowd, which had spread back to give KenRyu ample room to maneuver on her makeshift stage. "Hello everyone, I am Lord Kite, patron of this fan club." The crowd applauded as KenRyu took slight bows to each side of the crowd. As the applause died down KenRyu began walking towards one side of the crowd and as she got within a foot or so of Elnon she fake tripped forward, crashing up against Elnon who caught her against himself out of instinct.
Grinning slyly, KenRyu rubbing her cheek up against Elnon's chest and exclaimed, "Oh my Elnon, what big breasts you have." Everyone burst into laughter save Elnon who took a quick swing at KenRyu with his staff, but she quickly and easily danced away spinning slowly as she went until she was to the other side of the crowd. As she began to fake trip again, she looked up at Wakizashi and with a revolting frown stopped herself. "Nevermind, I'm not going to give you the pleasure of feeling me up you pervert."
The crowd laughed again, but instead of getting angry as Elnon had, Wakizashi smiled at KenRyu, gave her a slight bow, then calmly replied,
"Perverted perceived,
Not seen for my inner soul
She breaks my sad heart."
All laughter ceased as eyes focused on KenRyu. She just stood there for a moment looking back at Wakizashi somberly, then finally said, "I'm. . . I'm sorry Wakizashi, I didn't mean to. . ."
Waving off her apology, Wakizashi stepped forward and replied, "It's all right, I understand." Smiling, KenRyu stepped forward herself now and wrapped her arms around Wakizashi in a warm hug, planting a quick peck on his cheek as he returned the embrace. After several long moments of embracing one another, Wakizashi grinned and whispered into her ear, "Now about the business of me feeling you up, I-"
He halted and froze as he suddenly felt his own rear being squeezed and then pinched hard. KenRyu then whispered back, "Don't even think about it." She then released his behind and then him and smiled.

Standing off by one of the corrals overlooking Carmina Gadelica, Kite rested his elbows on the fence and waited. All this was just too sudden for him, and he needed advice from someone who knew what he should do about it. His mind had been so jumbled it had been hard to think of just who he knew that could help, but as the title Lord Kite kept passing through his mind someone had finally occurred to him.
"Kite, you called me?"
Turning his head towards the plumed swordsman, Kite smiled and nodded. "Hello Balmung, nice weather huh?"
Walking over to the fence and resting his own arms upon it, Balmung looked out over the city as well. "Yes, very fine weather. I assume you didn't contact me to talk about the weather though."
Kite shook his head, still staring out at the city. "No, I have a. . . problem that I wanted your expert opinion on." Pausing a moment, he then continued, "Balmung, how should someone deal with having a fan club?"
Until now Balmung too had kept his gave out at the city, but now his eyebrow cocked as he glanced over at Kite, a frown beginning to replace his previously emotionless face. "A fan club you said? Are you telling me you now have your own fan club?"
Sighing lightly, Kite nodded. "Yeah, I just recently found out about it, It's called the Lord Kite Fan Club, but I don't know what to do about all of it. What do you do with your fan club?"
Stepping back from the fence, Balmung turned away from Kite as he balled his right hand into a fist, flexing and squeezing in contained anger. After a long moment of this, the anger softened slightly and with lowered head replied, "I. . . don't have a fan club."
This brought Kite's gaze back around to the second half of the Descendents of Fianna. "What!? But, but you're Lord Balmung of the Azure Sky, how could you not-"
"It was Orca."
Kite blinked. "Orca?"
Sighing heavily, Balmung nodded, back still facing Kite. "Yes, Orca was the one who got the fan club, not me. He was far more popular with the beginning players than I, and so they idolized him more. He never seemed too concerned about it to me, but then. . . Kite, I think that fan clubs are fickle things for those who they idolize. Those who don't have one desire to have one, especially when a close friend of theirs has one, but when they have one it loses its fun."
"Balmung I-"
"I'm sorry Kite, but I don't think there's much else I can help you with on that front. I have some things to look into, so we will talk more later." With that he logged out before Kite could call out for him to wait.
"Great," Kite muttered, "Now what am I supposed to do?"
Then from along the way near the intersection that led to the Chaos Gate Kite heard someone call out, "Ahh, there you are Kite!"
Turning in that direction, Kite spotted a tall blonde Long Arm in green and white. Gardenia, how could he have forgotten about her. He knew she had a fan club. Now, if only he could get her to talk.
She walked towards him now, and Kite began running through how he would bring this up in a way to get her to reply. As she got to him he began with, "Hello Gardenia."
Without taking the time for pleasantries as usual, Gardenia merely said, "Kite, let's go, there's a dungeon I'd like for you to accompany me to at ??Ancient Sacred Fertile Land."
As she turned to head for the Chaos Gate Kite paused, then said, "Um Gardenia, can I talk to you about something first?"
Stopping mid-stride, Gardenia turned her head back to look at the young Twin Blade and said, "Can it wait?"
Inhaling, Kite shrugged. "I guess it can, but it is kind of important."
Returning her gaze forward, Gardenia just stood there as if debating it in her mind for a moment. Finally she answered, "Fine, we'll talk on the way. Now let's go."
Smiling, Kite nodded and the pair began to move off towards the Chaos Gate as Kite began to explain the recent events of what happened to him to the tall Long Arm.

Author's Notes:
Sorry it took longer than I said it would. Something unusual happened on Saturday, I got invited to go clubbing, so I was out pretty late and got home quite tired. It also meant that my class reading got neglected, so I had to catch up on that first. Anyway, enough with the excuses.
Thanks for the reviews, I quite enjoyed your comments on the fan club idea. It was one that, while quite logical in my mind was something that I wasn't sure would make sense to all of you. Speaking of this, I know many of you are wondering how BlackRose will take all this. My response, you'll have to wait and see, and it may not be for another two or three chapters either.
For those of you who like action, stick around for the next chapter, because Kite and Gardenia have a dungeon to raid. Also expect more with Mycinity soon, as she will finally have an encounter with the mysterious Liet. R and R people.
Oh, one last thing, the server for the area they're going to is Lambda server.
PG-13: I could probably get away with PG, but not sure just how violent it might get later, so better to be safe.
