Hoo-da-lally! Fortune's, forcasts, lucky charms! Get the go on your horoscope!
::ahem:: I've been watching a lot of cartoons lately. Can't help it, really. I love them. Disney movies are the best, I think. Robin Hood, Mulan, The Sword In The Stone, The Jungle Book... Those are some of my favorites. But you didn't really need to know that.
So anyways...
Uhm... By the way (I don't actually know who really reads these, but... ) Sanosuke is Sesshomaru. He's being a trixy bugger. And when it says 'Sanosuke::' or 'Kagome::' or really... Any other character name, that just means that's what the message says and who its from. Sorry for any confusion.
And Jaken and Rin are other characters. They both know Sesshomaru in the real world - Rin because she's his daughter, and Jaken because he works for him. Its hard to imagine Jaken being into RPG's, but that's okay.
And... I know its probably not fair to anyone else who's reviewed... But there's like... Two people I'd like to dedicate this chapter to... Actually, no. I'd like to go back to Chapter Thirteen and dedicate that one to them... But I hadn't thought of it at the time! So... Aisu-Hime and this anonymous reviewer that reviewed for Chapter 7...
"*is in elovator w/ Sessy**Begins to sing loudly and out of tune*WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMERINE! A F-CKING YELLOW SUBMERINE! WE ALL LIVE (we all live) IN A YELLOW (in a f-cking yellow) SUBMERINE~!Sessy: *twitch*"
... Chapter Thirteen was for you! Or wait... One of you can have Thirteen and the other can have Fourteen! Ahahaha... ::shifty eyes:: I'll try not to make a habit out of dedicating my chapters, 'cause that's not really fair to anyone else. But they made my day three times. How that works is completely lost to me, but that's okay too!
Welcome to the wonderfulness that is Chapter Fourteen... (Fourteen sucks... The number anyways... I don't actually know if the chapter is good, yet, seeing as how I haven't written it yet. And the only people who's opinions matter are you guys! So I hope you likes it.)
****************
"You know, I always knew you'd come around, Kagome. You took a little longer than I expected, but you came around in the end."
Already she was starting to feel the oncoming rush of a massive sized headache. "Kouga, this isn't a date. And really, if that's how you're going to look at it I'll take Hojo with me!"
She could hear him gasp on the other end, and with the sudden change in his voice, it was rather obvious he didn't approve of that idea. "So what is it, then Kaye?"
Kagome really wanted to slap him upside the head. Too bad he wasn't anywhere near. "We're two mutual friends going to a party. We just happen to be going together."
"So... A friendly date then, right?"
She could have screamed right there. Really. "No, Kouga! Fuck! We're friends. We're going to a party. End of fucking discussion!" She probably shouldn't have yelled at him over the phone, but she knew he wouldn't understand anyway. "So are you coming or am I asking Hojo?"
"Yeah yeah, I'll come," was the reply.
****************
After waking up Saturday morning Sesshomaru headed straight into Dimension. He hadn't brushed his hair or his teeth, hadn't taken his morning walk, hadn't eaten breakfast. And that was a bad way to start a day.
He was beginning to worry about Kagome and he was missing her something fierce. Almost going through withdrawls or something.
He had nothing to do, either. He'd finished everything the night before. Sure, he could look into the updates and see if any new quests had been initiated into virtual reality. Maybe he should start a new character... Start from scratch. Any newer quests were more than likely for players new to the game, and since he'd completed his fair share of them already... It'd be easy enough.
He began the logout sequence, where the screen was shortly replaced by the main menu. He selected the new character mode and began the creation of his new self.
Of course, some things must remain the same. Again, he chose dog demon as his species, which meant he would be accompanied by amber eyes and silky silver hair. Only this time around, he'd decided on his hair being short and spiked. Virtual reality gel really was a wonder. He set his height to 5'11", about six inches shorter than his original character's.
With his hometown set in Miriva and his name set to Sanosuke, he was ready to once again begin life in Dimension.
****************
She'd logged in before she even had the chance to change her mind. She had to play... Really. She didn't even know how long it had been anymore. Lost track of all sense of time since she'd been inside the Dimension. 'And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when you know you're really addicted!'
She flicked on the updates screen and began downloading the latest three. Two quests and a new navigation system - something about making it easier for new players to get into the game. But she hadn't been a new player in a long time.
When the updates finished, her body appeared in her room at the Inn of Four Souls. She'd been away so long, she hadn't even remembered where she'd last logged out. After exchanging her traveling clothes for her armour, she retrieved her weapons from the chest and left the room, determined to have some small adventure.
****************
He'd thought he'd seen her leaving the inn. He recognized the spiked scale mail and the long black hair, but through the crowded streets he'd lost her. Which was rather odd in itself - crowded streets in Miriva?
There was some kind of festival going on all week in honor of the Goddess of Rain. Apparently there hadn't been rain in months, and the non-play villagers and some of the other characters were getting desperate. So there'd be all kinds of dancing in hopes that the higher-ups might induce a little rainfall.
He pushed his way through the crowd, desperately hoping to find her. Once he was through, he thought he'd seen her slip into the woods, but he couldn't be completely certain.
So... He messaged her. Of course, he had to stay in character... And this new one was... New. 'Ahh... Pretending to be a nobody.' He could have cried.
****************
The buzz that accompanied the message made her jump nearly all the way out of her armour. She had to sit down to catch her breath before she was even able to consider opening it.
When Kagome pulled up the message screen, she checked the sender. 'Sanosuke...?' As soon as she realized she really didn't know who he was, she scanned through online characters, determined to know who he was before she responded.
It would've helped if he wasn't set to half-anonymous. Hometown of Miriva, dog demon... And of course, the part of his profile he'd set to anonymous just so happened to be his picture. Which meant that she had no idea if she'd seen him in the game or not. Which meant that she really had no idea how to respond... If she was going to at all. She hadn't even read the message yet.
Sanosuke:: Priestess Kagome, I thought I saw you here in Miriva, and on one of the quests I participated in I heard your name mentioned on numerous occasions. I would really like to meet you, and perhaps we could partake in a quest together!
****************
It had already been ten minutes and he was beginning to think he'd seen a mere shadow of Kagome. If it was her, though, and she was just taking her sweet time about replying... A plan was hatching in his mind. A very fragile scheme, though. If she didn't accept his invitation his plan would never see the light of day.
If she accepted, he wouldn't let her know who he really was. He would play the part of Sanosuke flawlessly, whoever that might be. He hadn't really decided upon a personality for the new character, so he was really open for anything.
He was really looking forward to testing his role playing skills, to see if she'd see right through him or if she'd never guess who he really was. Sesshomaru was a very happy... Puppy. He could do virtually anything so long as she didn't know who he was! He could find out who she was, of course, he didn't really expect her to give her real world information - that was personal. But he could find out what kinds of things she was into... Her hobbies, what she... Anything, really.
But he had to be careful and very cautious. She might have been avoiding him because she was angry with him or... Well that was really the only reason he could come up with. But if she suspected him of hiding anything, she might be even more upset! If she was upset to begin with.
And that would most definitely be a bad thing. If she were more upset, anyways.
A loud beeping startled him suddenly and he realized he'd forgotten to set the messaging settings to keep the noise level down. But the annoyance he'd felt originally was quickly remedied when he noted who the sender was.
Kagome:: I'm guessing by the message that you're relatively new. So... Uhm... Sure. I actually can't do anything at the moment, I just checked the time here and I have to head off. But if you're still interested later, what quest, what time and where do you want to meet? Its about 4:35 P.M here, so whatever time you'd like to meet...
The waiting he could do without, but he was pleased nonetheless. He could have danced he was so excited... But he didn't. He had to reply first. And then he would dance!
****************
Sanosuke:: How about the new thunder quest - the one set up for the rain festival? 7:00 tomorrow night, your time, and I'll meet you at the entrance to the Thunder Caves at Mount Ekowari.
'Perfect. At least he's considerate... Some people have lives on Sundays!' She laughed at her idiocy before replying to his message, just a quick, "I'll be there. Talk to you then."
She began the logout sequence a little disappointed at having to abandon virtual reality yet again.
****************
End of Chapter Fourteen...
Well. Now that I've finished I have come to the conclusion that this chapter might not be so bad. But that's just me. And I'm crazy most days so I really shouldn't listen to me. Let me know what you thought of the randomness that is my mind!
Oh... And... Uhm... I changed my mind halfway through this chapter. I had originally decided to get Kagome to come back to virtual reality after the party, but she came back before. You would not believe the difficulty I had when trying to make all this stuff make sense!... Considering that it doesn't! ::evil maniacal laughter::
Oh God I'm messed up. -.-'
::ahem:: I've been watching a lot of cartoons lately. Can't help it, really. I love them. Disney movies are the best, I think. Robin Hood, Mulan, The Sword In The Stone, The Jungle Book... Those are some of my favorites. But you didn't really need to know that.
