We sat upon the cliffs of Dun Loireag, the clouds below us. I took a deep breath. It was so peaceful to be back in The World again. Looking at Tsukasa beside me, memories rush back to what he had told me. He seemed to be in a sleep-like trance, just staring out into space as if I wasn't even there. I sympathized for him, not being able to log out and all. I often wondered how it was all possible, and if he was telling me the truth, but something in his eyes told me he was serious. It could be all the suffering and pain I sensed, because he didn't seem to like to talk much. He suddenly looked more alert as his eyes glided back and forth. A sigh escaped.

"What is it?" I asked leaning over. Tsukasa always seemed to talk in a mumble, so I found it easier to come closer when he speaks, me being of hard hearing in the first place.

"I don't want to meet Mimiru again. She kind of gets on my nerves you know?" he glanced down unsurely once more. I put my arm around his shoulders.

"I think you should meet up with her. She only wants to help, you know."

"But she just doesn't know how to leave me alone..." he said. We sat there for a while not saying a word. He then picked up his staff and maneuvered himself up. "She's probably going to bring him along..."

"Who? Bear?" he nodded, kicking a stone off the cliff. "But he wants to help you too! Don't you see?" he was quiet a while before he replied.

"But they're both so selfish. They just keep digging at me for information they don't really need to know." Tsukasa looked to me, as if I held all answers. I let out a sigh and put my hand on his shoulder.

"You should really go."

"But Silver Water-" I put my finger to his lips.

"No buts. Go on," I pointed away, "Mimiru is waiting. I want you to at least give her a chance, listen to what she has to say." I backed up and looked at him a moment and he seemed to think about it. After a few minuets of silence, he finally warped away. Grinning, I walked over to a near-by shop to buy myself some healing items. "He better have went, or I'll have that boy's head."

I walked away from the shop, my inventory full of healing items, when I heard a voice from behind me.

"How Did He Do That!?" I turned around to see a green haired guy running around the spot Tsukasa warped away from. "But he didn't even use the chaos gate!" I walked up behind him, watching. It didn't take long until he noticed me.

"Can I... help you?" I asked, feeling slightly uncomfortable as he starred. I felt even more uncomfortable when he flashed a creepy grin.

"Your Member address, please?"

"My wha-?" I almost forgot I was in a game. My gut then told me that this must be the equivalent of a random guy asking you for your phone number before getting to know you. I knew that feeling too well. Disgust. I turned and began to walk away. "I don't even know you."

"The name's Sora!" I stopped in my tracks and turned my head with an annoyed look on my face. "You know me now!" he grinned.

"Well, I'm not interested, so back off greeny!"
