Dot Hack: Hating to Love You
Chapter 5 written by Vincent Noble Valentine...
I should have known that we'd end up here, this place of all places. For us both this is where it all really started for us both...Delta Hidden Forbidden HolyGround. This was the place where Aura bestowed the data drain bracelet on my program allowing me to save Balmung and Blackrose from the very first data bug. We probably might have not survived if I didn't have this unusual power and may have even ended up like Orca and Kazu did, but thankfully we didn't.
If anything this is the place where Blackrose invited me too for a second time on wanting a private conversation. It was here that I got to see a softer and possibly a more worried side of her character after she revealed her intent on wanting to save 'the World', to free her brother from the coma that he was placed in, much like Orca and the other coma patients. I guess I didn't really help the situation much for us both with my worrying about doing the right thing when with every victory we gained over the Phases, things in 'the World' just seemed to gradually worsen.
Her outburst suprised me as much but it wasn't as harsh as the first time we met. She really was trying to cling onto the hope of what we were doing as right for 'the World' as well as for saving her brother and with me doubting myself well...I really wasn't being a big help at all. Did she really have that much faith in my 'leadership' that if I started doubting myself then how was she going to cope? I suppose that answer itself was self-explanatory as she turned away from me and began to shudder, shivering as if she was getting cold but I could tell she was becoming an emotional wreck, to the point that I thought that she was going to cry.
I've always known Blackrose to be strong willed and to be a very determined woman, but seeing her like this for the first time. I honestly didn't like it and I felt that I was the reason for her acting this way and that it was more my fault than anything. I tried to comfort her but I didn't really know how too and when I told her not to cry she returned to being angry as her temper sort of flared, maybe because I caught her at a bad time...or maybe just maybe...I wasn't that far off from the truth at all.
Either way from that outburst I sort of clamed up again and tried to think of something else to comfort her, but she immediately picked up on that and brightened up somewhat. Saying that I should be talking instead of not saying anything at all. I remember feeling somewhat better about myself and about our resolve and instantly my leadership qualities kicked in, with new resolve and determination I decided to myself while telling her that we can't give up now, no matter how many setbacks came our way what we were doing was right and that the only way we can move on is by moving forward.
Thinking about it and hearing it myself I guess you could say I was right. No person can ever do anything right when your depressed, doubt often leads to despair and despair often leads to hopelessness. If you think too negatively then nothing good or positive can come from it. Moving forward was the right plan of action and it helped ease both our worried minds a little.
Feeling better and less awkward about the situation we both smiled slightly before Blackrose had to leave. She wanted to go and see her brother at the hospital and that she wouldn't be online for a while. I knew that she obligations to her family and she couldn't really be online all the time but I still kind of missed not having her about as I alone with the other team-mates tried to fight harder for our cause, wanting to unravel the mystery of what was infecting 'the World'
But that was some months ago and long before then Blackrose returned to us after she got some closure from seeing her brother in the hospital. Since then we did what we set out to do: we stopped the 8 phases and returned order to the system. But in saving 'the World' it came at a great price. I had set out to save it all, return order and to stop the phases but we couldn't defeat the last phase alone. In a final effort to save itself it mass data-drained everyone, Balmung, Elk even Blackrose...I was the only one left when the dust settled...determined and in a rage I charged at it, dodging and weaving from the on-coming blasts it sent at me and with a final jump I thrusted my twin daggers at it, hoping that this last blow would end it all. But instead of the daggers killing off the virus program Aura appeared infront of it and took killing blow instead.
Aura knew that she had to die in order to save 'the world'. She knew that no matter how hard I would try to destroy it, no matter how many more blows it took, without the bracelet and the ability to data drain it, it was all hopeless. So in order to save everyone and everything she gave up her life. The resulting blow however became positive as her lifeforce split and ended the life of the last phase.
I had wanted to save Aura in the beginning as well as Orca, but with things ending the way they did I didn't feel too good about our final victory at all. That was until I got an email from Aura inviting me to the point of origin where Orca himself first took me too, Delta Bursting Over PassingFields. It turned out that with her death, she was reborn again and with her rebirth she returned to me the Data Drain bracelet which I destroyed with the help of Blackrose, to finally defeat Cubia.
But ahh I'm explaining far too much and delving too much into the past, that was some weeks ago. For the third time I find myself back here at Delta Holy Forbidden Holyground and with the way Blackrose is looking at me I have a feeling she wants to discuss something more than just talk. I could feel my cheeks redden slightly in the real world as I looked at her, a lump forcing it's way in my throat as I didn't know what to do or say. She seemed to notice it too as I looked slightly nervous, my hand scratching the back of my head lightly as I looked at her.
All she could do was wink and stick her tongue out at me as I saw a glimmer of mischief in her eyes as she walked on ahead towards the church slowly, the suggestive sway of her hips causing my eyes to linger downwards to stare at her rear end as she walked on leaving me there gawking with my red cheeks now ablaze. Never before in my life had Blackrose acted 'this' way infront of me and for some reason, deep down I knew why. I maybe only a teenager in the real world like Blackrose was, but my body had it's own instincts and they were telling me rather...different...and suggestive things that I had never thought of before.
Even though the idea's were 'suggestive' and it caused my cheeks to stay reddened like a tomato, I honestly don't think that 'the World' was created for this sort of 'activity'. Sure you can feel pain from being hit by a creature in 'the World' and you can actually touch other players or even shake hands and it feels like there their with you in the real world much like you can touch anyone else...but...that sort of touching? that sort of close contact? Was that possible?
I shake the new thoughts from my head and look onwards towards the church to see Blackrose had disappeared and had most likely entered and was waiting for me. Smoothing out my characters' clothes I walked onwards, my heart pounding a little, still a little unsure of what might happen, until I heard a scream from the church. It was Blackrose!
Immediately concerned for her safety I ran full throttle into the church, my twin blade daggers 'Prepare to die' at the ready as I found myself looking about the strangely dark hall in confusion as I could see no signs of a data bug and neither Blackrose, wait? Was the church supposed to this dark? I wondered questioning myself.
I didn't get much time to ponder an answer to that question when something roughly knocked my daggers from hands and very forcefully slammed me against the church wall, causing my head to hit it slightly, making my vision to come out of focus for a few seconds until I stopped groaning and rubbed my head until my eyes opened and became locked with a pair of red ruby ones. My eyes widened immediately with sudden realization as my cheeks resumed to flare up once again when I nervously realized that it was Blackrose who had knocked the daggers out of my hands and was now pinning me against the wall with her hands on my shoulders.
She screamed in the first place knowing I would have been here in a heartbeat to save her, she planned it all out and now she was close, so dangerously close to me now that I could feel the heat from her scantly clad covered body blending in with my own as my body in the real world had flared up in heat as well. Her eyes that had this glimmer of mischief that I had seen before looked different as if replaced by some bigger deeper need and as I saw it, I gulped mentally knowing that it was something bigger than mischief...it was lust and she was directing it at me.
As I opened my mouth to say something, anything for that matter when her lips descended against mine, silencing me in no less then a second as I 'felt' her lips hungrily devour mine in want and in need. I found my eyes widening in shock while my brain started to slow down, as if it was slowly ticking away trying to analyze or tell me what the hell was going on.
My brain might have been in meltdown at this new twist but my bodly instincts hadn't missed a step as I 'felt' myself returning the kiss slowly at first, tentively, until within minutes I found myself hungrily devouring her lips within my own, crushing mine against hers as if it was the biggest thing in the world that I needed like I needed air to breathe. It wasn't long before the kissing turned deeper as I found her tongue tapping against my closed teeth, as if she was knocking on my door and wanted to come in. I complied immediately as I 'felt' her tongue entering my mouth, battling with my own as the kiss further deepened.
Kissing wasn't the only thing that was happening either, I could 'feel' her body crushing against my own as I remained pinned against the wall, hands from both of us roaming everywhere, touching each other experimentally as the heat of the moment and the passion of this act was escalating to new heights that I couldn't even dream of. If Marlo was here I would have sworn on my last dollar that this is what he might have called, 'sucking face' and then he would have laughed at us.
But that didn't matter right now all that mattered was here and now and before I knew it after what felt like hours our lips seperated, huge gasps of air coming from both of us as we both felt hot and bothered. I could see the hue of redness in her cheeks as she breathed heavily as she looked directly at me, the same feeling flaming my cheeks as I stared back at her, never letting my eyes roam anywhere else but on her. When my breathing had nearly returned to normal I smiled looking at her and was about to ask something again when again she slammed me against the wall with her body close to mine, grinding against me as she started kissing me again. I found myself groaning into her mouth as I returned the kiss, the situation becoming more heated as I returned the same against against her as my hands had moved as if with a mind of their own, moving behind her and landing on her on rear end, squeezing lightly as a gasp escaped her lips while her hands had snaked around my head roughly grabbing my hair.
And for a moment just for a moment she stopped and looked at me with a small smile in her eyes, as she removed the red cap from my head and placed in on her own as she winked at me and started to pull me down to the floor...
Author's note: Yep I'm back, sorry about the long wait but life has become overly busy for me and I really need to do more chapters to my stories because I seem to have a few that haven't been finished yet. Anyway about my personal life being an alternative or 'Goth' things have changed slightly in my life as the author known as 'Noble' that too is going to change online as by law and deed I changed my name to Vincent 'Noble' Valentine. So if its going to be the same in the real world, it might as well be the same online too. As for a little steamy action within this chapter I may have to change the rating slightly and I didnt put much graphical content to this chapter incase it offended those who read it, however if any of you out there wish for things to change or become more graphical then tell me in a review, as a writer I like being diverse within my writings and if more suggestive themes is what you want, all you have to do is ask, simple as. Until the next chapter later...
