Shades of the Blue Flower

The Impossible Became Possible

   As a flappy little brown hat covered her ocean blue eyes from the sun, she kept her eyes focused on the door watching everyone coming and going from the outdoor cafe. She was early for the meeting, but she emailed the creator about a small outdoor cafe that had fully bloomed cherry blossom trees and that everyone in Japan knew about. As she slowly kept watch of the time, her heart was beating fast, she was confused on what to say or even how to act, this was a serious meeting but yet who knows what would happen after they got through the matter.

  "Blue Rose?" Manami looked up to see a young red headed man looking down at her with a smile, "I am, Creator or also known as Haru." "Nice to meet you Haru, you must be the creator of the game," the small nervous smile on her face made Haru chuckle. "Yes I am, may I hear your real name," she had a little smirk on her face, " You already know my name its on my registration form for the game, but its Manami." "Your a smart one, everyone else should be here any moment," Haru held his eyes on the door of cafe.

   "Hey Haru," a group of people quickly made their way to Haru and Manami, "Aw looks like everyone is here, everyone this is Blue Rose," Haru guided their attention to Manami. "Who doesn't know her, she went to Pixu's ball thing a couple days ago," a tall man gestured towards a dishwater blonde hair young boy with blush all over his face. "You can call me Manami, and you all are," she gave a questioning look towards everyone that was smiling.

"Akio, gamertag is Darken Shadow," a tall man with black hair called out.

"Dai, gamertag is Shadow Hunter," she was the twin of Akio.

"Ayaka, gamertag is Little Dancer," she was a young little girl, with white hair like snow.

"Isao, gamertag is Blood Craver," yet his name was scary; he was a little kid in a wheelchair that had navy blue hair.

"Chiasa, gamertag is Blood Oath," she was an older woman that has short bright brown hair.

"Mitsuo, gamertag is Pixu," he had a dish water hair with brown eyes that almost looked black, he was the person that Manami was glad to meet.

   "Only 8, I thought there would be more," Manami looked over to see Haru deeply sadden. "We lost two others couple day ago," Manami once more was filled with fear, she didn't know what was going to happen next. "What is going on with that," Chiasa was the first to speak up out of everyone. "We don't know to be exact but once go missing in the game, they are gone in the real world, almost like a double kidnapping," Haru slowly smiled, "but there is nothing to worry about with everyone here."

    "When did you realize it stated to happen," Akio quickly stated with a monotone voice. "It stated with Silver Sea, he was good friends with us all," Haru rested his eyes on Manami, that seemed to be almost in tears. "Blue Rose, you know he cared for you deeply, he truly did," Haru glanced once more for her approval to go on.

   "He was one of the top players, actually right below me, all I remember was that he was with Blue Rose that day, and he went missing afterwards," the final words made Manami hold her hands together glancing at her blue rose ring that was placed on her pinky. "How did you find out to be exact," Ayaka was a curious as soon as Haru began to speak. "He's actually my friend, I started to contact you all to figure out more but most players began to drop off from the game everyday, and its only been the high level players though," Haru explanation was hard to piece together.

  "Most players in the gamer, activate location system, but there may be a way to reverse that program if you know computers pretty well," Manami was smart at computers also programing but also she was still a newbie at the whole system.

  "Hold up, does that show where your location is," Isao, was tapping his chin, he was thinking more into something. "Yea, but yet in the games system it will block that connection because of privacy laws, but if you are really handy at hacking it can be reversed also the government is able to figure out the location no matter if it is blocked or unblocked," Manami was feeling a little better, but it was hard for to believe that it could have happened.

   "What if Haru was able to make these people disappear," Mitsuo glanced over at Haru that seemed to outrage to see him be accused of this scene. "He wouldn't be able to actually, it may be his game but in the end laws are protecting us gamers also why would he kidnap all the top level players even if he is one himself, and another thing is police reports have be filled out and he has been clearly checked," She glanced up to see him embarrassed.

    "And this is why I like Manami, she is serious when the matter is deadly to our game, because if we don't find out what's going on the game will be shut down," as those words slipped out of Haru mouth everyone was surprised, no one ever predicted that the game that the technically lived in had a possibility to shut down for good, "besides that point why not have fun with all us here, lets get to know each other," Haru wasn't suppose to tell anyone, but he had to get them off track before to much discord what was about to come.

   "Okay so hold on, the game may be shut down if no one figures out what the hell is happening,"Aikko, eyes held as much shock as Manami did when she first figured out the possible outcome of the game. "I have had a feeling that the game would be shut down for a few days, but this doesn't become solved the game will be totally shut down," Manami was filled with anger, "Haru wasn't suppose to tell anyone, but he had spilled, which threw everyone into more into a panic. "What did Haru do?" Manami glanced at her friend sitting on her bed, "he spilled and he wanted to get everyone distracted but I left before anything else ruined my day." "Manami, what do you think about this," the concern in Aikko voice sounded like a harsh punishment towards Manami. "I don't even know, can we go play the game, probably help me," even after Haru warned them not to play the game for awhile, but that was were she felt a normal person where no one knew who she was, its where she lived.

 "Sure, you can go, I will stay watch with Ruby (Aikko Multivac)," Ruby suddenly appeared on Aikko's shoulder, she was a small chipmunk that a ruby color with brown eyes, she was known as a sweet simple Multivac that did as much as the other. "Thank you Aikko," Manami gave a small smile as she lied down, "Sapphire activate 'Feral World.'
