Sakura Sasaki

I stood glaring at him. I guess he didn't get what split personality disorder really was. "Do you really think we all change our appearance in the real world like this? The game did this to us, it's not real. If you want my shy and scared and useless self back then you just have to f****** ask. We swap when she's scared to do something herself! I'm the side of her that will defend and protect her. She calls me the name she does because I'm her darker aggressive and assertive side. Either way I am Sakura just a different side of her. Now tell me do you want to see her or not?" I said tapping my foot waiting for an answer.

I looked at my two brothers. Sousuke was standing there with a dumb expression on his face and Christoff who was being ... well Christoff. ''Sure i'd love a drink i could do with getting to know you all and catching up with whats being going on here.'' I said to them all and nodding to the others who were sitting around clearly waiting for us to finish what we were doing.

I moved way to fast for a simple human even in a game i had moved forward disarmed the boy and replaced the weapon in his sheath. ''I don't think you understand what i am do you?'' i said tapping my foot impatiently with my arms crossed. ''I'm not pure evil nor am i another being completely. I am a part of Sakura, she, or rather I call myself Dark Sakura. Because in this form i am simply my Darker side, my aggression in physical form if i might add. I am one of her many personalities. You only know of this one and her usual timid self. There are more of us inside her but she hasn't needed us. We appear when Sakura herself can't handle a situation. A normal person like yourself has all the conflicts going on inside your head. In us, we all argue and switch places when needed. She called upon me to replace her at this very moment because she can't face the crowds in her usual shy form.'' I said leaning on the wall.

The boy was looking the other direction as i felt 'her' coming forward. I saw my blue bangs turn to midnight black and the hair that i could see that belonged to me, that was blowing in the wind giving a slight view it also followed suit. From the transformation i could tell i had become Dark Sakura and my usual timid and calm self was pushed out, taken over by the aggressive and sadistic version of my self.

I snatched my arm out of the boys grasp and backed away a little glaring at him with my purple eyes. ''What the hell gives you the right to tell me what to do huh?'' he said to him with spite clear in my voice. Sakura would have hated to talk to someone like that, but right now she had no control over her own body a dark eviler version of myself was in control at the moment. I grinned ever so slightly at his shocked expression showing him my fang.

I giggled at his little remark. It was true it had been a long long time since we had seen each other. The distance between us meant that we weren't that close considering our relationship, but it was nice to see him all the same. ''It has been a while hasn't it, i must admit if you weren't my brother I would be all over you right now!'' I said. He had grown into quite the looker. He had similar features to Sousuke, but the battle hardened look of Sousuke meant he always had a serious look about him. Christoff on the other hand seemed to have a much stronger and calm look about himself.

I looked up at my half-brother who seemed to be unable to remember me. It was strange however. The fact that he didn't remember hardly surprised me though. When the family had separated I didn't see him for a long time, but when i saw him i knew exactly who he was. ''I'm your half sister silly its me Sakura!'' i said poking him on the nose.

I looked away from him. I appreciated the sentiment and for the most part i would have loved his help, but the doctors had told me the problem lay much deeper than simply beating the darker side of me. She was apart of me and she helped more than hindered plus she wasn't going to simple get up and leave just like that. It was something i needed to figure out on my own. ''Sorry i ... I'm glad you want to help but not right now, She is a part of who i am and it is something i need to do on my own ... but if i ever need help ill ask.'' i told him blushing slightly at the thought that maybe he cared more for than i originally thought. 

I looked up at the boy and looked into his eyes. Something about what he said caught my attention. What was he hiding? Were we once similar to each other perhaps? Curiosity got the better of me and i had to ask him. ''Were you like me then ... i mean as in having other ... you's taking over your body?'' i asked him.

I looked at the ground at his question. I guess i should have seen it coming, after all 'she' did escape when i met them the first time. It was part of who i was sadly. I thought about his question and how best to answer it, and came to the conclusion that the truth would be the best option he was my brothers friend after all so whats the worst that can happen. ''I ... I was diagnosed with split personality disorder when i was 15. The doctors said that my other self ... She was created as a defence mechanism to help me to cope with what had happened to me and anything that caused me stress. I was on medication for it for a time but the side effects caused more personalities to emerge while at the same time suppressing the aggressive one. I decided to stop taking the medicine when i was 17 and things got better eventually but 'Dark Sakura' remained inside me and switches places with me whenever something that my normal self cant handle happens.'' i explained hoping he would at least understand.

I looked up and answered my brother question as i stepped back with my hands behind my back a cute smile on my my face as i looked up to him. ''I'm looking for you of course why else would i be here.'' i told him. He could be so dense sometimes and i wondered how he made it this far in the game. Still he had a lot of common sense and he was strong both physically and mentally and if anyone could beat this death game it was him. When i turned around at the sound of a voice i had heard only a few times i saw my half brother Christoff looking at us with an awkward smile. I instantly ran up to him and hugged him. ''Christoff no way your here too!?'' i squealed and i hugged him.

I looked up at the boy who was looking at me as if sizing me up. He said he was concerned about something but what? "What is it." I said to him simply.

Hi there welcome to SAO im new also Sousuke introduced to the site maybe we could rp some time :)

I saw a hand appear in my vision after i listened to Sousuke speak. I recognized his voice it was so crisp and clear in my ears. I could hear him and now i could see him. I hadn't seen him since he was taken away from me when i was 14 and he was 12. The day he was taken to that stupid military programme. Those awful people had caused chaos in our family. Sure everything was normal at first, but they had been sworn to secrecy and the rumors that spread about my parents caused them to become violent and nasty to me and my other remaining twin brother. I had heard of his demise and needed to see Sousuke. I couldn't lose them both. I felt tears coming to my eyes as i heard him say he was pleased to see me even though he couldn't see my face. He was always so kind and caring to others despite what he had been through in the military. I pulled my hood down and looked up to him smiling as the tears overflowed and began to cry tears of joy. I hugged him tightly and whispered just a few words. ''It's me you silly boy.''

Can you make me a perfect item Sousuke :D

I felt calmed by the girl who was tugging my sleeve, i had a feeling about her that seemed almost like ... We suffered from similar problems. I could feel myself calming down and noticed my hair colour change back to its original blue-ish colour. That must have meant that my eyes had become blue again too. I flipped my hair so that my bangs covered my left eye and smiled. It was only a small barely noticeable smile, but it was a smile nonetheless. "Lead the way." I said shyly.

He had atleast made some sense when he made that analogy. I think it was more to do with the fact he was my brothers friend however that I felt I could atleast trust him a little. It wasn't the kind of trust that you throw out there randomly either. There was something about him I could relate to so easily that I didn't fear him. He was almost like my brother in many ways, the way he approached me and spoke to me. "Your my brothers friend I find myself wanting to trust you for reasons I dont understand myself." I told him.

I watched as the man with cloak and bandana poked the girl known as Pyro. I giggled a little at this since he really didn't seem the kind of guy to do that. I looked at Arekkusu and wondered where my brother could even be right at that moment. "Ok then whatever your name is let's get moving shall we." I said to him placing my left hand on my hip and tapping my foot.

I looked up at his question. It caught me off guard terribly and I wasn't sure how to answer at first. I had spent my life being betrayed by those I thought were friends and having people make fun of me. I only really trusted my brother Sousuke who had done his best to look out for me. He was two years younger than me but always played the older sibling role. I was beaten from time to time by our father and told I was useless and a waste of space by everyone at school. "When you have been betrayed as much as I have it's hard not to" I said quietly to him wondering how he would respond.

I looked around at the group grinning mischievously and stepped back to look at them all from another perspective. There was the cocky guy who flirts with anything in a skirt, there was a hyperactive girl who was apparently my brothers boyfriend, a girl who judging by her name loved fire and a boy who thinks he's older than what he was judging from his appearance. They were definately a mismatch group that was for sure. I wondered where my brother fit in all this. "So you gonna take me to my brother or not?" I asked impatiantly.

I guessed that to anyone else a girl running away from a crowd and into an alley on both previous meetings was a little strange to most people so I decided I needed to explain myself to help the boy understand. "I ... Uhm ... I'm ... Urr ... I'm afraid of crowded places." I finally managed to say and buried my face in my knees in embarrassment.

I moved instantly between them so fast that I swear no one could see me. I snatched the potion from Arekkusu and handed it to Manta. The situation and sight of a weapon had awakened my inner darkness my hair becoming pitch black and my eyes becoming purple in colour. I stared at the sword intently admiring the craftsman ship and spoke up. "Nice blade you got, it's nothing compared to my one back home however." I said with a dark smirk.

OOC - Sakura has split personalities which also change her I game appearance.

I looked up at the sound of a voice, one I was familar with thankfully. I looked up to see a boy around 14 years of age looking at me. He spoke in a gentle voice, almost as if he understood me. I stared at him for a moment before I leaned against the wall and slid down it sighing heavily. "Wow I'm so glad I escaped the crowds, it's so scary." I mumered quietly. I looked at him again observing him wondering why he had followed me.

I had just reached the second floor. Apparently I was in a town called Urbarus. It seemed nice enough and everyone seemed to be busy. I looked at the architecture of the buildings with complete amazement. Considering this was a game it was difficult to tell the difference between what was real at what wasn't. A group of people began to walk past me and I felt extremely wary and uncomfortable. I hated crowds and wanted so desperately to escape. I pulled my hood up of my blue a white hooded jacket and made a dash for an alley across the street.

I listened to all the bickering and giggled a little. It was only a quiet giggle, yet it was enough for the others to hear me. When they mentioned they knew my brother my eyes widened in shock. So he was here after all and by the looks of things he had made a nice group of friends and was even well known as someone who helps out everyone. The Manta girl mentioned that he was also her boyfriend which shocked me a little. He wasn't really one to fall in love so easily so I presumed he thought the world of her. "Oh please I have to see him can you take me to him?" I practically pleaded lowering my hood finally revealing my face to everyone. My Ocean blue eyes sparkling in the dim lighting and my dark hair flowing down my back to my waist. A gust of wind caught me and blew my hair off to the side as I waited for a reply from one of them.

I shook my head at the boys question. I knew what had happened to this game and I knew I was a late arrival. It wasn't until I had got trapped here myself though that I believed it. From what I could gather my consciousness had been stuck in limbo for quite sometime due to server overload. But once you got here you weren't going back. "No it's alright ... I know what's going on. I'm looking for my younger brother ... Have you seen him. His name is Sousuke but I don't know if he is using his real name here." I asked sheepishly. Sousuke Kirigawa was my younger brother along with his twin brother Tomoya Kirigawa. I never really got on with Tomoya but I was really close to Sousuke. A few years ago I moved away and changed my last name at the request of Sousuke. Something about me being a target? I never really understood what he meant.
