Author's Note: Well this is going to be a fic of short chapters; those chapters being 1,500 or less chapters unless I feel like going over that limit, and then it would be about 2000 at most. I feel that if I do that, I would be less likely to abandon it or move on to another idea until I finish this. I've got enough stories that have been left in the dust, waiting to be dusted off and revived. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this! I know I enjoyed typing it up!

"Wow…it's been years since I've played this!" Kagome smiled brightly, reaching down into the box and picking up the case that had been uncovered after she removed most of the boxes contents.

The recent high school graduate had been going through the boxes she had taken with her, as she moved into her new apartment a bit away from her university. It had been several hours since she had arrived in her new place, and began unpacking everything. This had been the final box, filled with miscellaneous things that her mother thought she would love to take with her.

Running her hand across the plastic casing, she made a mental note to thank her mother when she checked in with her later. "Just seeing this thing brings back memories…"

It truly did; even now, memories of the numerous days she spent working her way through this game brought her such a strong sense of nostalgia. At one time, the only thing that had brought her a semblance of happiness during a dark point in her childhood was this game.

On the front cover of the game was four "sprites": one being the iconic "Hero" or "Knight", the next being the "Wizard", the third being the "Priest", and the last being the "Thief". Hovering over them was the title of the game, Unlimited Quests.

Ah, the fun she used to have trying her best to fulfill every quest and beat the Maō.

"Hmmm…"

Glancing around at her apartment briefly, she took in all the progress she had made before turning back to the game and nodding with a grin.

It wouldn't hurt if she took a break and try her hand at this game again right?

Contrary to what her younger brother Sōta thought, she did in fact like video games. She just didn't find much interest in the games that her brother played. RPGs were her type of thing, in comparison to the fighting games or first-person shooters that her brother preferred.

Swiftly making her way over to the desktop computer that her mother had allowed her to take with her in the corner of the room, she plopped down in the comfy office chair in front of the desk. Turning it on, she cheered as her home screen met her gaze and she quickly popped in the CD-ROM.

From the speakers on the sides, a familiar theme song filled the air.

Bringing a hand up to her chest, she could feel her heart beat speed up in anticipation. It had been years since she heard it, and now everything she felt back then was coming back to her.

Soon the main menu popped up, bearing three options:

~ New Game

Load Save

Options

Humming, she used her mouse to click on the second option. After all, it had been such a long time, and she would like to see where it was that she had left off on.

New Game

~ Load Save

Options

Just as she was about to click that option, her finger stopped as she then changed her mind.

Wouldn't it be better to just start over?

It has been a long time since she's played it, so even if she continued, she would probably have no idea what she was supposed to do and just run around until she found out something.

Nodding, she scrolled back up.

~ New Game

Load Save

Options

Clicking on it, she watched as the screen went black and then a message block popped up on the screen.

あのとき、オレたちとあそんだおもいでもうわすれましたか ？
(Have you already forgotten the memories of us playing together at that time?)

Blinking slowly, Kagome tilted her head to the side as her brows furrowed.

"What…"

あなたもオトナになり、いそがしいとはおもいますが、ほんのちょっとでいいので、オレたちをおもいだしてください。
(I know you must be busy as soon as you also became an adult but, just even a little, please remember us.)

Now she was getting a little nervous.

She couldn't remember anything like this happening before. Usually it would just do a story of the land and expand a bit on the purposes of the main party's quest.

Using her mouse, she tried to press on the side of the screen, in hopes of getting to the options.

'Maybe this is some kind of bug…I mean the game is old, but seriously…this is just weird.' Kagome thought, with a frown.

After seeing that her efforts to get to the main menu with the mouse weren't doing anything, she pressed the escape button, but to her growing dread, it did nothing. The messages just continued.

オレたちは、あなたのせいで・・・・・・
(Because of you, we…)

Kagome gasped, fear and confusion clear in her eyes as the next message followed quickly after.

ゆ がんだしまったのです !

BECAME WARPED!

Before the high school graduate could make another move, the screen of her computer became completely white. The brightness of it caused Kagome to bring her hands up to shield her eyes. Her senses were going haywire, as she could feel something tugging at her. Peeking through her arms, she wobbled as her vision was skewed. Despite this, she could feel where the said tugging was coming from and she knew she had to get away.

Trying to push herself to her feet, she cursed as her knees buckled and she feel forward. Reaching a hand out to catch herself, she gaped as her hand slipped through the screen of her monitor.

"W-WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Using her other hand, she tugged at the one being "consumed" by the computer monitor and seemed to be trying to pull the rest of her inside.

Unfortunately, the pull was too strong for her to resist while out of sorts.

Moments later, the screen of the computer monitor went completely black and the computer shut off.

Kagome was nowhere in sight.
