Chapter 2----Palmacosta-----
Sasuke and Kyla walked around the large city of Palmacosta. They had discovered a lot about themselves in the last hour they had been in the game.
The two teens sat in their inn room deciding on what to do next. Well, Sasuke decided and Kyla spaced out. The blue-haired teen got up and walked towards Kyla. He stopped in front of her, tempted to slap her but instead snapped his finger in front of her face.
" What?" She asked annoyed. Her eyes refocusing on her surroundings.
" Your idiot! Stop daydreaming! We need to find Kimi, and the others!" He added the end part quickly.
Kyla rolled her dark brown eyes. " Don't worry about your fiancée. Like me, she is highly educated in this game."
Sasuke's eye twitched. " That doesn't mean we should just sit around and stare at the freaking wall!"
Kyla continued the stare at him. " I was not daydreaming." She stated calmly.
Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest. " If you weren't daydreaming then what were you doing?"
Kyla snorted. " Like it matters to you." She leaned back on the bed. " But if you must know, I was just remember who I was."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. " You forgot who you were? Such a typical you thing to do."
" No, and what do you mean a 'typical me thing?' How Kimi puts up with you I have no bloody idea." She blew a few strands of black hair out of her eyes. " I was remembering my role here, in this game." Kyla got up and reached under her bed. A moment later she stood back up and turned to face Sasuke. In her hands, she was holding two swords. " I'm a half-elf born in Heimdall like Genis and Raine. My mother took me and fled to the Otherworldly Gate. She was transported to Sylvarant. She decided to leave here in Palmacosta and keep me being a half-elf secret. She died last year. Just recently, a person of this city found out I was a half-elf, and told everyone else. I don't know who though. I'm 21 years old and specialize in using twin blades. They're called Tizona and Colada, better known as the Serpent's Daughters. I also have basic elemental magic." She sat back on the bed. " I'm sure you'll get a little memory flash soon…" Kyla trailed off her sentence as she saw Sasuke get a far away look in his eyes.
Kyla walked around the inn room. It was designed exactly like the inn in the game. She stopped in front of a mirror. She looked at herself and she noticed something. Unlike Sasuke, her clothes had changed. She was wearing knee high black boots, a black skort that reached four inches above her knee with a dark blue sash belt. She also had a navy blue halter, a loose, black, leather trench coat and wrist high fingerless gloves, black with the edges rimmed with dark blue.
She sat back down on the bed and unsheathed one of her swords. Her brown eyes studied the sword with great interest. The blade itself was a light silver with symbols up and down the side, and instead of being a straight blade; the blade was curved in the shape of a snake. The hilt was mahogany coloured with a vine design in the colour silver. She tilted to the side so the sunlight caught it. The blade then glowed an eerie blue. Placing the blade back in the sheath on her belt, she looked back at Sasuke, who was sitting on his bed holding a sword. " Well?"
Sasuke held the sword carefully, finding it more interesting then Kyla's question. It was the shape of a flame, and the blade was a dark orange. It too had odd symbols engraved on it. The hilt was a chocolate brown and the edges were painted gold. He put the sword back in the sheath on his waist, and rested his elbows on his knees, his head on his folded hands. " I'm a human. I was born here in Palmacosta into one of the richest families alive. I've apparently, been friends with you since we were seven. I am now 22. My family believes I'm in school studying and that I've finally found human friends that 'understand' me. But it seems that we've decided to skip town and head for Luin where we're suppose to meet…someone. I can't seem to remember anything else. I possess basic elemental and healing arts. I'm skilled with a sword, as you can tell. It's called Odin's Flame." He stood up and heading for the door.
" Where are you going?" Kyla asked standing up.
" To Luin, where else? We can't do much here. What's the point of just hanging around here like idiots?" He continued to walk out of the door, and down to the front of the inn.
" Don't leave without me you loser! You don't know much about this place and you're gonna end up getting yourself killed, and if you get killed I'll never hear the end of it from Kimi." She walked beside him. " Before we leave, we should stock up on gels and food, and maybe find out what has changed from the game." Sasuke looked at her with an emotionless expression. Kyla sighed. " Look, I know you don't like me too much because I'm a sand ninja Sasuke, I know that for a fact actually. You don't like Lori or Jade either, and I know you hate Gaara, but until we find Kimi and the others, we have to get along."
" Whatever." Was all he said to her as he walked out the front door of the inn.
" Ok, this is Marble's store. We can get the gels here." Kyla informed in a dull voice. She swung open the door intending to hit Sasuke with it, but stopped it before it smacked him in the face.
" Nice try."
Growling to herself, Kyla walked up to the counter. " Hi, could we buy some gels please?"
The girl looked at her with a surprised expression then shook her head. " No."
" Why not?"
" I don't sell the you half-elves." The browned haired girl replied. Her surprised voice turned into a disgusted one.
" Unbelievable." She stepped away from the counter and faced Sasuke. " If you want to survive in the world you'll get what I tell you. Get twenty apple, orange, lemon and pineapple gels, ten life bottles, and ten panacea bottles. You're rich, you can afford it." Sasuke just stared at her. " Go!" She pushed her towards the counter.
Not wanting to argue with the temper-mental girl he looked at the brown haired clerkbehind the counter. " Can I get all of what she said?"
" Umm… sure Sasuke." Blushing, she started to put the items on the counter. " I still don't know why you're still hanging around that half-elf though. They're all evil, disgusting creatures. Just look at what they did to the world again!"
Kyla looked up from the floor. She kicked Sasuke lightly to get his attention. He looked at glaring, but softened his glare when he saw to urgency in her eyes. " Ask her what she means." She mouthed to him.
" Uh…"
" Chocolat." Kyla whispered.
"Chocolat, what did they do to the world exactly?"
Chocolat stood up placing the rest of the items on the table. " Has that freak brainwashed you? They're filthy leader split the world in two again, and now once a year each world must offer up a chosen to be sacrificed at the Tower of Destruction."
" What about the orginalchosen and her companions who save both worlds before?" Kyla how spoke up knowing Sasuke won't have asked, since he probably didn't know who they were.
" Like you care half-elf."
" Tell me what happened to them!"
" No, I refuse to tell you anything! Why couldn't you have just died like your filthy Mother!"
Kyla jumped over the counter and tackled Chocolat to the ground. When she had said that last sentence something just snapped inside her. " You stupid human! Don't you ever talk about my mother like that!" She drew back her right arm and punched Chocolat right in the nose. She could feel it break on impact.
Chocolat let out a high-pitched scream as Kyla went to hit her again, but Sasuke stopped her. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her off of the helpless store clerk. " Kyla calm the hell down. She's not worth it."
Kyla stopped struggling. She would have fallen to her knees if Sasuke's gripped on her wasn't so tight. Tears rolled down her cheeks. " Why?" She whispered. " Why the hell am I so damn emotional about someone I don't even know?"
Sasuke looked down at her, feeling somewhat sorry for her. Still holding her, he grabbed his backpack which was filled with the items and placed 15 000 gald on the counter. " It's probably just the game emotions so stop acting so damn weak 'cause I know you're not. You would have died long before this game if you were." He swung the backpack over his right shoulder, his left arm still around her waist. " We have to go, you two made a lot of noise and-" He never finished his sentence because two of the Palmacosta guards stormed in.
" What's with all the noise in here?" The first one demanded.
Chocolat slowly stood up holding her bleeding nose. " That half-elf went berserk and attacked me! She broke my nose!"
The second guard turned to face the tear stained face of Kyla as the first continued to talk to Chocolat. He got down on one knee so he was at the height Kyla was currently being held at. " Did you really do that to her Kyla." She looked at the guard then dropped her head back to the ground. The guard sighed. " You know that there's no tolerance for this kind of thing, and because you're a half-elf…you may have to face execution."
" Just because she was standing up for her mother?" Sasuke spoke up.
" Mr. Uchiha aren't you suppose to be in school?"
" I don't see any reason to explain myself to you." He shifted a little making Kyla stand up straighter, taking most of her weight off his arm. " I also don't see any reason for Kyla to be punished for what she did. Her actions where nothing but self-defence."
" Your standing up for her!" Chocolat shrieked.
' He's standing up for me?' Kyla mentally asked. ' Did he get hit at some point?'
" Now if you'll excuse us, we were just leaving." Sasuke let go of her waist, grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the store.
" Was he allowed to do that?" The first guard asked the second.
The second guard stood up. " Well, he just did."
" Shouldn't we go after them?"
" Nah. They probably leaving the city so what would the point be? Plus Kyla's with one rich man. He could buy his way out of anything."
After they were a fair amount away from the city Sasuke let go of Kyla's hand. " You are the biggest idiot I've ever met!"
Kyla looked down at the ground. " Even bigger then Naruto?"
Sasuke crossed his arms. " Not even you are capable of that."
" Why'd you save me? I know if would have been the highlight of your day to see me hanged. So why?"
" Listen Hunter. Don't you even think for a second that I like you. I only saved you because I need your help to find the rest of my group. I really hate to admit that, but I do."
" Heh. I figured that was the case." Kyla stretched her arms and wiped away the remainder of her tears. " Alright, we'll head for the Tower of Salvation and rest there for the night. Tomorrow we'll head for Luin, we should make it there by late afternoon."
" Whatever."
They continued to walk in silence. The sun was setting and they were about fifteen minutes away from the House of Salvation. Kyla had given up on trying to start a conversation with Sasuke. ' He's almost as anti-social as Gaara.' Kyla snorted to herself. She looked ahead and noticed and glowing green-yellow spot. " Hehe, shiny!" She started towards it.
" What are you, a crow?" Sasuke asked, following.
Ignoring that comment, the brown-eyed girl reached for the light, but jumped back as the light took the form of two figures. " Oh. My. Gosh."
" I'm so glad we found you two." One figure said. " Please listen, we don't have much time."
" Your Kratos and Lloyd! Oh my gosh."
" Yep. That's us!" The boy in red smiled.
" Now listen." Kratos said calmly. " You must head for where the Summon Spirit of Light resides."
" There, you have to defeat the Summon Spirit of Light and Dark." Lloyd continued.
" Once you've defeated them, one of the four barriers that protect the tower from intruders will be broken. You must then go to Luin and wait for the others who must break the barrier in Sylvarant."
" Who are the others?" Sasuke asked.
" We have no idea." Lloyd answered.
" Who did this? Who split the worlds again?"
" It was-" Kratos never got to finish. The image of the two became distraught and started to fade.
" No wait! Who was it?"
" H…ur…ry."
" Damn it!" Kyla cursed then sighed. " Well whatever. All we can do now is head for the House of Salvation and then to the Tower of Mana tomorrow." Kyla started to walk.
" Who do you think the others who are here are?" Sasuke asked.
" I don't know." Kyla stopped to face Sasuke. " What we need to worry about know is ourselves. We must do as Lloyd and Kratos told us, and hope we don't die while we're at it."
" We're not going to die. It's just a stupid game. If we die, we die. It's not like it'll effect us in reality."
" Care to test the theory?" Kyla asked her hand reaching for one of her swords.
Sasuke looked at her then turned away. " I'd rather not die and leave Kimi alone with you."
Kyla smirked then continued walking. " Come on lets go before it gets to late."
