This is just a small chapter about Okimi's normal day in college.

Dongo is a Japanese tasty thingy!

Chapter 9 "History Exam."

"Saigi… Saigi wake up!" I was trying to wake him up for about 3 minutes now, "Wake up or we are going to miss our exam!"
He looked at the clock hanging above his bed, "We still have time… can't you wait five minutes?"

Fifteen minutes later we were running to our class. Surprisingly we made it in time. "See, I told you we'll make it!" Saigi smiled as he walked to his seat. I felt like punching him, "Yeah! Barely made it!" I walked to my seat and tried to remember the material.

"The test will begin now!" Right as the professor said that the room fell into silence, and everyone began to write.

"Hi. I came here to ask you if you know anything about events occurring on The World, I'm new around here and I just wanted to know if I could make any new friends." Some guy woke me up from my sleep.

I opened my eyes and saw a cute boy with long red hair looking over me. I haven't seen him around before, and being in college for two years you would see every single person at least once. Besides I was good with people's faces. Then it hit me… his voice!

"Murakami!" I became angry, "How dare you let me fight all by myself! You used me! And… How the hell did you get in?" I know that I always lock the door before I go to bed. I looked across the room.
"No wonder the door was open… Saigi was probably late for his class like always, and forgot to lock it…"

I started to argue with the guy who played as Murakami, and he dashed out the door.
"Maha isn't who you think he is!" Murakami walked out, and before he closed the door he said to me, "I'm sorry, I really am…"

"Please put your pencils down, and turn in your exams."

"What? It's over already?" I look at the clock, it said two hours had already passed. I looked down at my empty paper, and sighed walking out of the classroom.

When I entered my room I saw a bouquet of flowers, with a note that read " I am really sorry, please forgive me if you can, and let me explain what happened." I crumbled the note and threw it away. Grabbed my purse, and was about to run out of the dorm when I stumbled on another note, this time from Saigi.


"Please come to the café on the corner of Wasagari Blvd.

-Saigi"


I smiled and made my way outside. It was snowing like crazy, yet Saigi was waiting for me outside of the café on Wasagari boulevard.

"I'm glad you could come…" He gave me a big hug.
"What are you doing? You'll catch a cold!" I led him inside.
"Oh, so now you are my mother?" he laughed.
I blushed a little, "No… I just care…"

He went to the register, and bought two hot chocolates and a few dongos. Then he came and sat at our table.
"Okimi… I'm really worried about you! You seem to be playing that game too much, and today during the exam you were totally spaced out. You know you can talk to me, if anything is bothering you…"

I looked down at my hot chocolate as I was thinking to myself, "I wish I could tell you, Saigi… but it is just too complicated for you to understand, plus how can you tell someone that you are in love with them if you don't know how they feel about you…"

"Okimi… you are doing it again! Spacing out, that is." He took my hand, "Don't worry, you can tell me…" I blushed and looked away. On the other side of the street I saw that same exact guy, the one who busted into my dorm the other day, walking into a bookstore

"Well…" I started, "In The World there is this guy named Murakami… It's really a funny story…"
"Continue, I'm listening" Saigi was the sweetest guy you could ever find.
"Well, we were in a team with this other player named Miru. We fought together through the entire labyrinth garden area, but when we got to the boss those two just stood there watching me fight, and not doing anything… they wouldn't even help me."

I sipped my hot chocolate, and took a bite off of a dongo, "That guy who plays as Murakami just moved to our school, just a few doors down from our dormitory. He sneaked into our room because someone forgot to close the door!"

Saigi looked away swallowing a dongo.
"Anyways, he said it wasn't his fault, that he did not betray me… but I don't know what to believe… what I saw, or what he said."
"Well, give the guy a chance!" Now he was acting like my mother, "Maybe he is right…"
I looked down again, and he smirked, "I can tell that there is something else you are not telling me."

"Saigi…" I took a deep breath, "I… Where do you work?"
He cleared his thought, "That's not important…" He always seemed to avoid that subject, "we are here to talk about your problems, because they really seem to interfere with your studying…"

"Well, there is another guy… Balmung!" I said looking at him.
Suddenly I could see fear in Saigi's eyes, "You mean the legendary admin? He still plays the game?"
I put my hands over the steam coming off of the drink, it felt warm, "Yes… he does. And he has saved me many times…"

Well, it was a little longer then expected… I hope you liked it! Please review! And give me some ideas on what should happen later in the story… (not necessarily in the next chapter)
