Getting Together

"Yuka!?" I exclaimed.

She seemed just as surprised as me. She walked towards us slowly, contemplating on the reason I was here.

"Akiho.... I thought you said we were meeting the 5th heir. This is my friend Hyuno" She turned to him.

"Well Yuka, id like to inform you that this your friend is the 5th heir of the company." Akiho pointed out.

"Ok that's confusing." Aoi and Ari said.

"So Yuka, I guess this means we're working together from now on" I laughed awkwardly.

"I guess.....but wait this means we can spend more time together. Quick Hyuno, let's go and play some Henkai. Maybe we can complete your quest first." Yuka smiled changing her mood immediately.

"Wait you guys play Henkai too? Let's all play together. Where should we meet?" Conner proposed.

"Ok whatever you guys should meet us at the Demon Starting Village." Yuka waved them off before dragging me upstairs.

"Wait Yuka, I don't have a pod here." I tried stopping her.

"Don't worry there are many pods in this house. You can log in to an extra one" She called over her shoulder.

Soon enough we arrived infant of a room which she pushed me into before running off to her own room. The inside was kind of plain signifying that this room was not occupied by anyone at the moment. In a corner of the room, I noticed a pod. I stepped towards it and decided to trust Yuka's judgement and log into the pod. I entered and allowed my conscience to be taken into the game world.

[Welcome Back Player Hekkai]

I opened my eyes and noticed an extremely excited Yuka towering over me. I stood up and took my mask wearing it and signaling Yuka to wear hers. She did so promptly and dragged me out to wait for the others. I wasn't sure how long it would take but it seems Yuka knew their avatar since once a bunch of people appeared, she dragged me towards them.

"Guys over here" She waved enthusiastically.

"Yuka? Is that you" A fox demi-human whispered.

"Of course. I'm guessing your Conner" She smiled mischievously.

"Sssshhh. Don't say our real names casually like that" Another male character admonished.

"Oh sorry" Yuka apologized sheepishly.

"Let's go to a more secluded place before discussing more" Conner sighed.

We all nodded in agreement, before heading to an inn and paying for a private room. I of course took the opportunity to order a bunch of food to eat. We sat in silence before someone finally broke it.

"Yuka? What's up with you and Hyuno 's outfits." Aoi questioned.

"Oh! Hyuno and I decided that while playing the game we'd go for like a mysterious vibe. Do you guys want to join us?" Yuka explained.

"Well... it wouldn't hurt to do it" Conner agreed.

"Sure, you can count me in." Ari answered.

"I guess i have no choice" Aoi sighed.

'Yes! First order of business. We need to get masks for you guys." Yuka jumped up.

"Wait Yuka! Before we go off don't we need to discuss our plans?" I asked.

"I guess so..." Yuka grumbled.

"Well, I think we should introduce our characters first? I'll go first. In game you can call me Kenko , I'm a fox demi-human" Conner went first.

His character was a few inches taller than his real body. He had short black hair, two fox ears sat on his head with the outer being the same color as his hair while the inner was a white, his eyes were a striking purple color. His face seemed to have a permanent frown on it.

"My username is Yosei, i'm a dark elf" Aoi said gently.

His character was an average height. Like all dark elves, he had dark skin and longer than normal ears. His hair was pure white and since it was longer than usual, he kept it in a short ponytail, his eyes were a calming blue. His demeanor was extremely calm.

"You can call me Ithil, i'm a blood elf" Ari sighed.

She was shorter than her brother. She had long dark purple hair and enticing red eyes. She kept her hair in a bun and seemed to be going for the unapproachable vibe.

"I'm called Elwyn and i'm an elf" Yuka smiled.

"And I'm Hekkai, an oni demon" I finished.

"Well we already know that we're going to get some masks then helping Hakai with her quests right?" Kenko confirmed.

"We have enough gear so we can just go straight" Ithil pointed out.

We nodded in agreement, gathered our stuff and headed out. The mask store had the exact same masks as Yuka and I, so we decided to get them. Kenko chose a mask with silver patterns, Ithil chose one with red patterns and Yosei chose one with white patterns. We didn't think we'd be able to find the exact armor so we left it at that. We also ensured to stuck up on food incase we didn't come back anytime soon. We headed outside town and prepared our minds for this.

"Hekkai...start the quest" Kenko instructed.

I nodded and almost immediately i was given and objective of heading to the demon kingdoms capital.

"Well this is going to be a long quest" Yosei chuckled.

We nodded and headed off to the capital wandering what adventures lay ahead.
