Sinon: H-Hey Kirito, .....Asuna.

I nervously waved at them three.

Silica: Hi!

Kirito: You're here too?!

Silica: HEY! What's that's supposed to mean!?

Silica puffed out her cheeks and frowned. Silica, Sinon, and Liz all walked toward us, sitting on the chairs next to us. I quickly sat up where I was facing them.

Asuna: H-Hey...

Sinon: Hi...

I then felt the blankets move a little and turned to see Kirito also sitting up.

Kirito: Sup, guys! What are you guys doing here?

Liz: We wanted to visit you dummy!

Silica: We were worried! You're our friend, so we had to come.

Sinon: I missed you...

I quickly flashed her way to see her blushing and looking down. It can be true...is it? I mean I already figured it out, but maybe I was overreacting, right? No I wasn't. I was deep in my thoughts till I felt someone's arm go around my shoulder. I jumped in suprised and turned my head to see Kirito's soft smile.

Kirito: Asuna must've been worried too, huh?

I blushed and then felt concerned. He seriously just dismissed, better yet ignored Sinon! He never did that before, well at least to a friend.

I nodded slowly then looked at Liz to see her smirking.

Liz: Alright lovebirds, look what I got! 

Liz turned to grab a really big bookstack that I never noticed yet. She pulled out six nerve-gears and a bunch of wires.

Liz: We haven't played in a while!

I smiled brightly, remembering that Kirito would be able to walk, run, and fight normally instead of being on a bed.

Asuna: Ok!

Twenty-five minutes later we were all in our never-gear and the wires were all plugged in. Then we all said:

Kirito, Asuna, Leafa, Liz, Sinon, Silica: LINK START!

I opened my eyes to find myself outside. By a tree... I gasped.

Asuna: O-Oh, O-Oh no...

I looked to see a very old, but never used sword. I turned to see Leafa, Sinon, Liz, and Silica all staring at me in pity.

Asuna: Richard...

The day where I heard a 'sssssssp....' sound and Richard came for me, while running away from the cops.

I remember that day so vividly. 

"When I was walking home I could feel a chill go down my spine. I turned around just to see a dark alleyway. I walked faster until I could hear someone talking or whispering. I turned around in a questioning look.

Asuna: Hello?

My voice echoed throughout the alleyway.

???: sssssssspp........"

I shook my head and looked back at my friends.

Asuna: Let's go!

I smiled wearily as they all followed me. He's not coming back, He's not coming back, He's not coming back!

I searched for Kirito, looking under bushes, trees, in houses, floors. Soon enough I accidently lost all my friends.

Asuna: Ummm, Leafa!? Liz?! Silica?! Sinon..?!

I circled everywhere. Great...

I then felt my head hurting and I remembered something.

I looked at what drops it got me. Not anything important, but col and a new sword. I walked out of Aincrad and walked to the forest. I walked to a tree and tried practicing out my new sword on the tree. Then I heard it again.

???: sssssssssp...

I drew my sword.

Asuna: Why are you following me!? Come out!

A shadowed man came out behind my tree.

???: sssssssp...y....your....f...fa....fault.

Asuna: H-Huh?

???: IT'S YOUR FAULT!

I fell to the floor, clutching my knees and crying.

Asuna: STOP IT!

???: ASUNA! 

I turned my head to see Kirito running towards me in fear. He dropped to his knees and held me closely.

Asuna: H-He was r-right there...

I pointed to a tree and imagined he black figure run up to me. I tucked my head into Kirito's shoulder.

Asuna: Don't let him get me.. please..

Kirito: Shh.. Asuna it's ok, I'm here. If comes and tries to take you, I'll punch six billion times and if he tries to again, I'll punch him six billion more times.... so please calm down, you're safe.

Asuna: T-Thankyou, Kirito... I love you.. so very much...
