Wow… it has been a while since I have done this…. I hope you guys still remember me! - Well…. Lets continue the story then! Hehehe

Chapter 12 "Back to the Future"

"Tsukasa…" I said looking around the cave.

In front of me stood a young girl with brown hair, tan skin tone, and she had two earth symbols painted on her face. She was wearing an armor that was kind of revealing. And over her shoulder she was holding a giant two-handed sword.

"I am Mimiru!" she smiled at me. She then grabbed my hand and started to pull me out of the cave. I was speechless, was she talking about the same Tsukasa that I saw die! No, that couldn't be!

"Uhh… Mi-Mimiru…" Apparently she did not yet know that Tsukasa could no longer play this game, and I didn't want to be the one to tell her. "Hold on, lets get out of here. Tsukasa is waiting for me in Sigma server." I couldn't take it anymore, I pulled my hand away and screamed out "Tsukasa is dead!"

Mimiru suddenly stopped and spoke without turning around, "Why would you say something like that?" I walked up to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. "I was there… I saw it with my own eyes." Then, to my surprise she logged out, leaving me all alone in the depth of a dungeon. I finally found my way out onto the open, and teleported back to the city.

S (Sigma)

I was walking thought the Sigma town, trying to find someone I knew, but no one seemed to be on, and to my surprise Maha was gone as well. I walked to the nearest bridge and looked down at the water. I never before realized how realistic "The World" looked. I spent over an hour gazing at my reflection in the water, and humming along to the background music. The suddenly I felt someone's presence behind me.

I grabbed onto my staff and quickly turned around. A wave master wearing grayish brown robe was standing in front of me, but as soon as I turned around he started to run. I didn't really think much of it in the beginning, but then I noticed his staff. It took a second for my brain to process all of this information, but I second later I found myself running after him. "Tsukasa" I screamed out.

The wave master stopped, and turned around to look at me confused. "Where did you get that staff?" he asked me. "Ehh?" I looked at my staff, and then at his. The staffs were identical to the very small detail. I then came back to my senses and spoke once more. "Tsukasa… it is I Kumuri." I smiled at him. The face changed from a confused look to a shocked look. Tsukasa lowered his head and smiled to himself. "I have nothing to say to you, Kumuri… in the near I will tell you everything!"

I was puzzled by his answer. "Near future?" I walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek. He seemed to blush, but didn't show it much. "Well, I will see you in the near future then…" I started to walk towards the Chaos gate, but the Tsukasa stopped me. "You never answered me. Where did you get this staff?"

"You gave it to me a few days ago, don't you remember? It was right before you disappeared into that white light thingy…" I wondered if he was testing me. "Ohh?" he looked down. "I see…" He smiled softly and walking passed me I saw a tear in his eye. Was there an emotion in this game that made your character cry! I typed in /cry but nothing happened. "How soon will I see you again?" I asked right before he walked thought the gate.

He turned to me, "You won't…" I could tell now that he really was crying. But I couldn't tell if those were tears of joy or sorrow, because he was also smiling. "Go back to your time, Kumuri… There's nothing I can help you with." He then walked thought the Chaos Gate and left me hanging.

"Go back to my time!" I felt really dumbfounded. I took out the tablet that I found in the dungeon. I still couldn't read it, but it started to glow a yellow color, and then a beam of light shot towards me and hit the middle of my necklace. I was submerged in light. A sudden chill came over me, like that time when I died.

Darkness… only darkness was around me. "Kumuri…." I heard a gentle voice calling my name, but it seemed so far away. "Okimi." I heard it again, but this time it called me by my real name… Saigi… is that you? Am I dead? Ohh Saigi, please stay with me… stay with me forever, I do not ever want to leave you. I love you! "Okimi…" The voice came again louder this time. "Okimi, wake up!"

I slowly opened my eyes, and saw Saigi sitting next to me, and smiling. His eyes never left mine. His hand brushed away the fair from my face and he slowly bent down, moving closer and closer till our lips finally touched.

"Okimi!" I opened my eyes and saw Balmung standing over me, and reaching out his hand to help me up. "W-What just happened?" I looked around and wondered why I was still in the game. I took his hand and he pulled me up from the ground. "I have something to tell you…" Balmung said looking me in the eyes. "You missed your first hour…"

Well, it is kind of hard to get back into the story after not writing anything for about a year! 0.o wow… it was that long! Crap! Anyways… it will get better, because I got some good ideas…. And I am also writing a fan-fic for "Death Note" so look for that in a few days… Peace!
