Author's Note: Wow! I didn't expect the amount of response I got to this, especially since not a lot of people seem to know about Dot Kareshi – We're 8-bit Lovers! – I ~Densetsu no Otome~. Hopefully this will bring some more attention to the series overall, since I think it's completely hilarious. I can personally remember playing RPGs several timers, and handicapping the characters so things would be more interesting.

The weightless feel of falling wasn't something new to Kagome.

After years of willingly jumping down the well on her family's property to travel through time, and even falling from high heights in order to accomplish something. Falling was something that she had grown past fearing.

Or at least she thought she did before now…funny how silly things seem when you have an unruly hanyō there to save your ass when you needed him to.

Unfortunately, with a lack of said hanyō, she didn't seem to have that she didn't have any chance of being saved this time.

"AIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" tears welled up in her eyes as she plummeted towards the ground below.

She knew she would've been waving her arms around in a panic, if she hadn't been trying to hold down her skirt. Later she'll beat herself up over it, because why should she worry about decency when she was about to die?

But at the moment, she felt her hands were better off attempting to prevent anyone from getting a free show right before she became a splatter on the ground. Pulverized due to the sheer velocity at which she was currently falling.

'I know it will happen! I've played Corpse Party!' mentally crying at the thought of mimicking the fate of that poor fictional character, Kagome, distraught at her 'inevitable' fate, didn't seem to notice that as she got closer to the ground she began to slow down.

Closing her eyes, she clenched her fists as she waited for her death. There wasn't anything she could do, as she had no type of powers that could aid her. All she could do was just accept her fate…or at least that was what she had believed.

So when she suddenly came to a halt and the sensation of floating overcame her, her blue eyes snapped open and she looked up at the sky in confusion. Furrowing her brows, she turned to look down and around before her eyes widened.

Instead of being the pulverized pile of meat on the ground, like she believed she would be, she was currently hovering about the ground.

Blinking slowly, she turned her body around so she would land on her feet. Using her hand, she held down her skirt as she was gently lowered down onto the ground. As her foot touched the ground, gravity seemed to deem it time to come back as she fell down to her knees.

After a few moments, Kagome let herself fall back down onto the ground and stared up at the blue sky where the portal she came through was nowhere in sight. Blinking slowly, she breathed deeply as she felt her heart jackhammering in her chest.

It had been quite a while since she brushed so closely with death, and those other times were at the possible death at the hands of an enemy.

Kagome knew that she was going to avoid having to be up from the ground for a little bit.

Once she had managed to calm herself down, she pushed herself up from the ground while brushing off her skirt. Standing tall (well as tall as she could at her height of 5'2"), she looked around at her surroundings.

All around her were trees as far as the eye could see.

"Well Toto, its looks like we're not in Kansas anymore…"

Sighing, she massaged her temples to alleviate the slight headache that she felt developing.

'Why do these things always happen to me?' She mused with a groan, before dropping her hand down to her side.

Obviously, she wasn't in her apartment anymore and it was even less likely that she was in the Feudal Era. The only way there is through the well on her family's shrine property. So taking that into account, the only likely place she's found herself in is the very game she had decided on a whim to play again after all these years.

"There's nothing else I can do but find out exactly where I am, and if there is a way out of here."

Looking around in order to decide on which direction to go, her blue eyes widened in surprise and relief as she saw smoke rising up lazily into the sky from the west. Nodding her head, she quickly made her way over to the direction it was coming from.

The closer she got to the source of the smoke; she began to hear some voices.

"This is all your fault idiot-wizard! If your stupid spell worked like it was supposed to then she would be right here!" one voice said, but was cut off by another.

"My spells are never stupid, I'm sure that she will show up eventually." This voice was slightly deeper than the other, and made Kagome think of the student council president from high school. Even now she imagined the anal retentive boy pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose with every sentence he spoke.

"Well I hope she arrives soon, I wonder how she looks? I'm guessing she's quite pretty neh?" A third voice broke through the argument that was sure to have continued on.

Someone snorted, "As long as she pays the proper respect to me then I'll have no problems…though I'd like for her to be a beauty instead of an ugly hag."

Kagome couldn't help the small frown that grew on her face.

Did she really want to ask these guys for help?

It seemed like they were waiting for another companion of theirs, a female, if their words indicated as much. While she was unsure of where she was, Kagome didn't want to burden anyone and she could always look for a village on her own. She hadn't come out of her adventures in her country's past with nothing to show for it after all.

Just as she was contemplating turning back, she stepped on a branch on the ground causing it to crack loudly. Any dialogue between the group ahead stopped and if the rustling said anything, they had shot up from the ground onto their feet.

"WHOSE THERE! SHOW YOURSELF!" Jumping slightly at the exclamation, Kagome continued to move forward with her hands up.

Stepping through the bushes, her eyes landed on the group of four men. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped in shock. They too had the same reaction.

Right now standing before her were the four party members of her game: The Knight, The Wizard, The Thief, and The Priest!

Before Kagome realized it, her eyes rolled up into her head and she fell back in a faint.

Not hearing the shocked cries of the men, nor the strong arms that managed to catch her before she fell onto the ground.

Little did they know that was only the beginning of their adventure together with Kagome; whether that was a good thing or not, still remained to be seen though.
