Chapter: 2

Many people in our world had great dreams that others scorned and said would never work. Now the dreamers are the ones scorning those who did not believe.

Virtual to Reality

Sakura woke up the next morning feeling really tired. 'I just had to set the alarm on the clock Touya gave me before I went to bed didn't I,' she thought as she hit the off button on the said clock and groggily got up and went to go take a shower, careful not to wake Kero who kept muttering the word pudding in his sleep. After taking her shower, she got dressed and then she started to go down to breakfast, when she noticed something on her desk. It was the passes that Kevin had given her yesterday. Since she never actually read what was written on them, she was curious about what they actually said, so picking one up and this is what it said…

GAMERS! Of all shapes and sizes!

We of 'Dice Incorporated' are pleased to announce that the long awaited Virtual Online RPG is finally here!

'A Journey Begins' is a game were players will get to literally get inside the game and interact with it like you do in the real world.

Players start off as a student, then can work their way up and upgrade to one of four possible class categories, and then work your way up into even stronger classes.

This game has been approved by the Japanese government as both a safe and healthy way for people of all ages to have fun while getting necessary exercise.

1,000 special codes have been spread throughout the country. These codes ensure one FREE virtual reality helmet and a free lifetime subscription to 'A Journey Begins'!

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and game!

Sakura finished reading the advertisement, impressed by what was promised. She also noticed the Japanese governmental seal on the flyer, showing that it was authorized by the Country of Japan.

She decided to go give these to her friends, right after breakfast. Later after finishing breakfast, she headed over to Tomoyo's house but when she asked if she wanted to go shopping, Tomoyo responded, "Sorry Sakura, but I'm going to out with Eriol." (Yes Eriol is back, NO he and Tomoyo are not a couple. Remember, this a Sakura and Syaoran romance novel.)

Slightly disappointed that neither Tomoyo nor Eriol would be able to go with her to get the virtual reality helmets; she decided to go over to Syaoran's place next.

Switching over to Syaoran, we find that he had just finished washing the dishes from breakfast, and was opening the front door to go get some exercise when… BAM! Something or should I say someone hit him in the face, HARD! "Tell me Sakura, do you always hit this hard when you knock," he inquired as he held his face which was hurting like hell!

"Sorry Syaoran," replied Sakura.

OK if you're lost, here is what happened, 1st Sakura had gotten to Syaoran's apartment. Second, Syaoran opened the door at the same time that Sakura's fist was about to collide with the door. Third, we find ourselves in the situation at hand.

"So," started Syaoran, "what are you doing here anyways?"

"I came over to see if you would like to join this online game that somebody told me about," replied Sakura, "it sounded really neat and its virtual reality, so you can do all that sword stuff I know that you like to do."

Syaoran thought for a moment and then said, "ok but won't the helmets cost a lot of ," but stopped suddenly Sakura just whipped out the passes and said, "I have that covered. These passes allow us each to get one free VHM (I'm just going to abbreviate virtual reality helmet as VHM) so we don't need to worry about that."

Later, after they both got home from shopping, feeling really tired since it took longer than they thought it should because the attendant, whom was acting a little strange, had said that he had to do something with the helmets first. So anyways the both got into there respective homes, went into there rooms, turned on their computers and plugged in the VHMs. While they were busy registering, typing in the special codes, and typing in the required info, they didn't notice the electric sparks were emitting from the VHMs. The sparks stopped occurring just as Sakura and Syaoran turned to put them on.

After slipping on the VHMs, they both flipped the power switch and waited. Suddenly there was a giant flash as both Sakura's and Syaoran's subconscious were sent into the game.

After Sakura finished ritualizing, a shadow stirred in the corner of her room and out stepped Gora. He smirked as he walked over to Sakura and said, "Can't get back without this now can you," as he slipped the VHM off of her head and crushing the wireless connector. As he stepped over to the window he noticed a deck of cards on her desk. He sighed and grumbled, "I am too much of a softy," as he sorted through the cards until he found he one he wanted. He took 'The Mirror' and chanted, "Magic Mirror in my hand; Take the form of the one in enchanted lands." There was a soft glow as 'The Mirror' took the form of a sleeping Sakura. Smiling he left to go do the same with Syaoran.


Next Chapter will be really where the adventure begins. Gora as made yet another appearance actually he has made 2. Can anybody guess the other appearance?

Oh and if you review, please tell me your opinion on Gora so far. I am trying to get a certain image of him across as soon as possible and would like to know if he seems dark enough. Two more things, one, what do you think about when Gora used 'The Mirror' card, two any reviews, even anonymous are welcome. With that, this is Necromancer Gora signing off
