Sorry about this chapter, it's really long. I also might not update for awhile because after this chapter I have to actually start writing more of the story. You see, I actually wrote chapters 1-5(yes including this one before, and I only now decided to put them on FFN. Sorry about the weirdness well, I hope you enjoy.

Narrator: ok before you guys know what happens when Haku jumps toward Alkaid there's something I forgot to explain, and I couldn't find a better time that now. What I need to explain is about the weapons in "The World R2". In "The World R2", there are Eleven classes of Character Models: Twinblades, those who use two short swords, Edge Punishers, those who use broadswords, Lord Partizans, those who use lances or axes, Blade Brandiers, those who use Katana, Macabre Dancers, those who use fans, Flick Reapers, those who use axes or scythes, Tribal Grapplers, those who use either fists or claws, Harvest Clerics, those who use healing magic with a staff, Shadow Warlocks, those who use offensive magic with a spell book, Steam Gunners, those who are long range and short range attackers who use guns or sword-like bayonets, and Adept Rouges who can use any combination of the three, Like Haseo who is a Twinblade, Edge Punisher, and Flick Reaper. Haku is also an Adept Rouge she is a Twinblade, Flick Reaper, and Blade Brandier. Oh yeah, the Adept Rogues can only access their different forms through quests called Job Extend. Now back to where we left off.

Haku lunged at Alkaid and knocked with the magical spell 'Death' (sorry, sorry, I told you there'd be a Final Fantasy reference in here, I just couldn't think of an easier way for Haku to PK (?) Alkaid, because she is way below Alkaid's level.) turned to Endrance and said "Endrance……I'm sorry about my friend, she…as you can see, has anger management problems...I tried to get her to stop but………we ended up following you and …Now I'll be going heh heh." And Haku ran off carrying Alkaid. When she returned to the field, she gave Alkaid her Member Address and a message saying "Sorry about knocking you out, so to apologize I'm giving you my Member Address." Then Haku went back to Mac Anu, the root town. In the Root Town, she saw Kuhn wandering with a girl and randomly she slapped him and walked away. "Kuhn, what was that about?" Haku said while she was running over to him. "Oh…You saw that…well um I was just flirting with her a little and she slapped me, I don't know what her name is though 'cuz I didn't get to ask…" As Kuhn was telling Haku about what happened, her bag got hot and she saw the usual black screen with white letters "Magus" is what it said this time. Haku nodded and said "Poor you Kuhn, I hope you can see that girl again and properly flirt with her without getting slapped. Well I'd love to stay and chat but my mom is yelling at me to go to sleep." So Haku logged out and went to bed.

Narrator: Ok this might be the only Section where Haku is in real life and goes to school, so before we get to that I have to tell you a few names. First off Haku's name outside of "The World" is Haruka Yamamoto. One of the kid's at her school's name is Ryou Misaki, he and Haruka don't get along very well. Well, I couldn't really think of a name for the friend that introduced Haku to "The World" so I think I'll call her Akane, she goes to the same school. I should also tell you about the school; it's a rich private academy that Haku got in on a scholarship, so lots of kids are mean to her because she's smart. Now back to the story.

The next morning Tsuru was woken up by her mom and didn't have time to go onto "The World" because she slept in too late. When Tsuru got to school that morning, she was thinking about the other two Epitaph Users she had to find "Fidchell" and "Gorre" and who they could be. As she walked into her classroom she accidentally bumped into someone because she was thinking too much and he said "Hey, you! Watch it poor person! Just because you got into this school on a scholarship doesn't mean you can go bumping into people all the time."

"Oh, sorry Ryou, it's not my fault that I ran into you, you just happened to be standing where I was walking so it's your fault."

"It is so not my fault, you ran into me on purpose!" As Haruka and Ryou were fighting the teacher came in and said "OK class, it's time to sit down and begin. Yamamoto-san, Misaki-san do I need to send you out in to the hall again?" Both Haruka and Ryou said "No ma'am, we'll sit down right away." And so class began. During the first class, Haruka was thinking about what she would ask Ovan the next time she saw him. During the rest of the day she was thinking about who the other two epitaph users could be. On her way home, Haruka stopped at the grocery store because her parents were going to be out for dinner tonight, so she had to cook dinner herself. When she got to the check-out line she heard a familiar voice say "Hello, it's nice to see you again today, but could you move to another line, I really don't want you to notice me."

"Hm? I don't know you."
"Yeah you do…look up." Haruka looked up and saw the annoyed face of none other than Ryou Misaki and then he looked away embarrassed and Tsuru asked "What's wrong?"

"I just didn't want anyone from school seeing me at my job."

"Oh, well that's too bad, since I saw, maybe I should tell all the kids at school that the son of a rich company owner is working at a grocery store, so I can get back at you for all the times you've embarrassed me!"

"OK, ok, I get I'll make it up to you, I know you play 'The World', so I'll meet you in it tonight, meet me at Delta Hidden Forbidden Bulwark: Morrigu Barrow Wall at 9:30 tonight Ok?"

"Yeah, that's fine, maybe you should tell me your name, mine is Ha—" Ryou interrupted and said "Don't worry about that I'll know when I see you because no one goes there, so it'll be fine, no one from school will see us." Then Haruka bought her food and went home. After Haruka ate her food and did her homework she logged on to "The World" at 9 o'clock (I'm going to start calling her Haku again). She had four e-mails, one from Ovan, one from Yata, one from Haseo, and one from Alkaid. The one from Ovan said "Remember Haku you only have 2 days left to find the rest of the epitaph users, if you do find them all by 10:50 PM tomorrow, then I will have a special present for you." Haku thought "I wonder what the present could be…?" Haku replied "I've found the Epitaph Users for Innis, Magus, Macha, and Tarvos. I have two left" The e-mail from Yata said "If you have anything to report on Endrance come to 'Raven' ASAP" Haku didn't reply to this one because she thought it best just to show up for instead. The one from Alkaid said "Hey! Why did you give me your Member Address, I never said I wanted it, and why the hell did you stop me from beating Endrance up?" Haku replied "Well I got this strange vibe from him as though if you got beaten by him……you wouldn't come back. That's why I saved you. About why I gave you my member address, I did it because I thought it would be best." The message from Haseo said "Hey, Haku, um…I'd like to ask because we're friends and because you're a girl……uh……when a girl's mad at you and you say you'll meet her online, and you kinda like her but can't say it, what should you do?" Haku replied "Hahaha, Haseo, I didn't know you liked anyone other than Shino. If it were me I'd apologize for being mean to her and tell her your feelings, but that's just me, if it comes to more drastic measures you could kiss her. Oh yeah, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I understand other girls. In real life, I'm a tomboy so a girl's feelings are sometimes a mystery to me too." Haku then logged on and went to "Raven" when she got in no one was there so she went to the "Serpent of Lore" and called out "Yata, I have some information on Endrance, are you in?"

"Yes, I just got in Haku, what have you learned about Endrance?"

"Well, I've learned that he hangs out with this weird little girl and that when he goes to this white tree place. When I was there his cat started to float and black spots gathered around it."

"Ah, I see, thank you Haku, that will be all for today, I need to investigate the place he goes to." It was about time for Haku to meet Ryou Misaki when she left, so she went to the chaos gate and went to Delta Hidden Forbidden Bulwark: Morrigu Barrow Wall. When she got there she was five minutes early so she thought she'd sit behind the rock and meditate. At 9:28 Haku heard someone log in to Morrigu Barrow wall, so she logged out and decided to go back in the front way to see who Ryou was in "The World". When she logged back in she saw Haseo looking around nervously, when he saw her he looked surprised and said "Haku, what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for someone, what about you?"

"Me too."

"Who are you waiting for? Maybe I can help you look."

"Uh…I don't think so, she's a girl who goes to my school, named Haruka Yamamoto." Haku looked at him in complete disbelief with her mouth wide open. To think, this was the guy she was arguing this morning, the guy who didn't want people to know about his job, the guy who had saved her from Alkaid and that other girl? She finally said "Haseo, that's my name in real life, I know you, you're Ryou Misaki."

"You're kidding right? This is no time to joke around, if you really are her prove it to me, why did I ask you to come here?"

"Because, you wanted to make it up to me for all the times you've embarrassed me in our school so I wouldn't tell them about your job at the grocery store I went to, to get dinner tonight." This time it was Haseo's turn to stare in disbelief. He was thinking that this was the girl he'd made fun of so much for being poor, the girl he saved from those two girls, the girl he secretly had a small crush, not as much as Shino of course, on ever since he first saw her at his school? But this time he believed her and said "O.K. I believe you, only the person I told this to would be the one who came here, and it's you. So I'm going to take your advice, I'm sorry for all the times I've teased you at school." Then Haseo went up to Haku and hugged her, Haku was so surprised, but she couldn't move so she hugged him back. Then Haseo let go and said "Well, now what?" Haku was still frozen and couldn't say anything. When Haku became unfrozen she said "Haseo, I think you should join G.U. it'll help you get Shino back, so please join…" Haseo thought about that for awhile and then said "Yeah, you're right I think I will tomorrow. By the way since tomorrow's Saturday, do you think you'd like to level up with me, I know some good areas." Haku smiled and said "Sure, Haseo I'd love to go on a date with you." Haseo blushed bright red and looked away, and then he said half angrily "It's not a date! I just thought you needed to level up, and I do too, if you don't want to, I'll do it myself."

"Hahaha I was just teasing, of course I'd like to Level up with you." Haseo and Haku both logged out of Morrigu Barrow Wall. Then Haseo logged out and Haku was by herself. As Haku was walking around absentmindedly, she ran into a little boy "Oh, I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you."

"No, no don't worry little boy, it's my fault." Haku smiled and said. Then her bag got kind of hot and the words "rre" appeared. Haku thought "That's odd, that's never happened before. Then the boy said "Um, my sister wants to talk to you, she says she knows you."

"Oh, ok, that's fine. By the way what's your name?"

"M-my name is Bo, and my sister's name is Saku, we're the player Sakubo."

"Aww, that's so cute."

"Ugh, it's so not cute, you're soo annoying!"

"Excuse me? What happened, did I say something wrong?"

"To me you did, not to Bo, he's too nice!"

"Oh, I see so you're Saku…Oh wait! I remember you're that Shadow Warlock, who was fighting with Alkaid."

"Ha! It took you awhile, you're one slow girl." Then Haku's bag got half hot again and said "Go", then the word "Gorre" flashed, and Haku said "Oh, I'm slow huh? Well that's ok, it's better than being a midget." Haku retorted. Saku was becoming, and even though Haku knew this she decided to keep provoking her "Hahaha, I mean really, you're so short, I could probably use you as a foot stool, but I wouldn't, you don't look very comfortable." Saku was at her breaking point and screamed "You bitch; I will find you and kill you eight different ways!"

"Go ahead and try, I am a Ninja, so I can keep running without you noticing, hahahaha." Then Saku went off in a huff to the arenas at Lumina cloth and Haku logged out and went to sleep. The next day was Saturday so Haku woke up and logged on. She had one e-mail from Haseo saying "Meet me at Mac Anu's chaos gate at 10 A.M. to go training." Haku smiled and logged in. First, she decided to go to "Raven" to see if she could find the last Epitaph User. When she got in she heard voices and went to the outside of "The Serpent of Lore" but she couldn't pay attention because her bag was getting hot and the word "Fidchell" popped up, and she thought "That's funny, last time I was here only Pai and Kuhn were Epitaph users, I wonder who it could be?" The first voice she heard was Yata's and she thought "That's even stranger because last time I was here he was there alone and nothing happened." But she accepted it and left before anyone could notice she was there. It was 10:33 by the time she was out and she ran for the chaos gate. When she got there she saw Haseo looking impatiently when he saw her he shouted "Haku! You're late, hurry up let's go."

"All right Haseo. Where're we going?"

"We're going to Delta Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field."

"Wait…isn't that a pretty strong area? Won't we need a Harvest Cleric or Shadow warlock?"

"Yeah………That's why I invited one…"

"Oh? Who?"

"Well…That girl named Atoli."

"…Oh, well then this will be an interesting adventure."

During the time in Delta Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field, Atoli talked about Tsuki no Ki while Haseo and Haku listened and tried not to blow up at her. After they were done Haseo said that he had homework he needed to do and that he would see Haku tomorrow. So, Haku was left with Atoli. "Hey, Atoli, I have a question." Haku said, "Yes? What is it Haku-san?"

"Well, I want to know, why do you like this Sakaki person so much? I mean for all you know, he could some 67-year-old who doesn't really care about the real 'you'."

"Well……I admire Sakaki-san because when I was going through hard times in middle school, I met Sakaki-san and he helped me out, so I am the person I am today because of him."

"Oh, I see, well in time I hope you will tell me the rest of that story."

"Well…I don't really like to talk about my past much…"

"No, don't worry; I won't push you to tell me…In fact I'll give you my member address so we can become even better friends."

"Thank you very much Haku-san. Well I must be going now; Sakaki-san is calling me. Bye for now." With that Atoli went to Moon Tree and Haku logged off to check her e-mail. Haku had three e-mails when she logged out one from Ovan, One Haseo, and one from Alkaid. The one from Ovan said "Remember Haku, you only have until tonight to find all the Epitaph users. Then come meet me at Delta Hidden Forbidden Radiation: Arche Koeln Waterfall." Haku again decided that it would be best just to show up for that. The one from Alkaid said "Haku, why do you think I'd disappear from some cheat power like the one Endrance has, that would never happen." Haku replied by saying "You know………It's just I saw something really weird around him and I thought that if you were PKed by him something really bad would happen like you would develop Doll Syndrome or something, that's all". The one from Haseo said "I'm really sorry about bringing Atoli with me today, it was absolutely awful. Don't worry it won't happen again." To Haku replied "Don't worry Haseo, it wasn't too bad. Well, it could have been much worse." Then, Haku logged off for lunch.
