Sword Art Online : Akari's Story [Discontinued]

Chapter 1: Welcome to Sword Art Online

"Hmm~ Hmm~" i silently hummed a song as i cheerfully skipped straight  to my friend's room more like childhood friend's room. I carefully opened the door and took a peek, "Kyo-chan~?" i sang. I didn't get a response though, i scanned the room for that buddy of mine and saw him lying on his bed probably sleeping. I let out a giggle as i went up to him. I noticed something strange though... he was wearing a blue helmet, must be one of those things called "Nerve Gears" that i often see on tv commercials. 

"Kyo-chan~ Wake up! Sakura's on tv!" i lied and shook his shoulders. He wasn't moving, didn't even move an inch and my secret technique ("Sakura's on tv") didn't even work. Oh right.... I remembered, he has his nerve gear on so he won't be able to hear me, stupid me ehe, i scratched my head as i thought of this. I bent down beside him and gave a couple of knocks on his head gear, i mean "Nerve Gear".

"Kyo-chan..." i whispered closely to him. I became slightly impatient as i curved my lips into a pout. "Kyo-chan! Kyo-chan! Kyo-chan!" i endlessly called out to him. Even though i know that he won't wake up i just want to call out to him. I feel that... if i leave him with that nerve gear on, i would lose him... It's a feeling i felt just moments after i saw him with that thing on his head. No, more like i already felt it before, that's why i came running (skipping) here. I have to remove that nerve gear off, right now, right here. It's like someone in my head is telling me that something bad will happen if i leave it as it is. With this feeling i can't bear any longer, i tightly gripped the head gear by either side then pulled it off his head right away. I stood there, holding the nerve gear near my chest as i looked down into Kyo's bright brown eyes. A mix of confusion and anger showed in his face. He quickly sat up glaring at me.

"The hell was that for, Akari?!" he spatted at me.

"Uh... i just..." i said, being lost in my thoughts of what to do with the angry Kyo-chan. When he's angry... he's really angry.

"Argh! And i was just having fun with-" he suddenly paused. "Nevermind! Whenever your around, you...! my games... you just...!" he wasn't even able to finish his sentence, it was really obvious that he was trying to hold his anger back. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, with his back facing me. He stopped for a minute and looked at me, i can clearly see the anger in his eyes. "When i come back and your still here... your seriously gonna get it..." he pointed at me. He averted he's gaze and stomped out quickly out of the room.

I let out a huge sigh and let myself fall to his bed. I made him angry again this time... i thought. Kyo-chan... is a really serious and hardcore gamer, a really short-tempered guy too. That's the first thing i knew about him when we first met at 3rd grade. Me, being nosy and bossy, i wanted to pull him over to our side, called the "Outside". I wanted him to play with us instead of  him hiding in a corner playing his own games. I thought that he was alone, needed company so i tried many times to force him to have friends but..... after a few years of sticking next to him, i realized that he wasn't really lonely ('cause of his games), he just doesn't need one... but even so i still kept pestering him about quiting games and joining a circle of friends so he can finally have company. But after a few days of thinking about this... i realized that he doesn't need anyone anymore because he already has a friend, me.... But even so... i still continue what i do and make him angry... Urgh... 

I sat up straight and stared at the nerve gear i was currently holding onto. I stared at it and stared at it then stared at it for the whole five minutes that has passed. An idea suddenly popped in my head, if i can't bring him to my world maybe i can just go to his....that way...maybe he can accept me, i thought as a smile crawled up to my face. "He will accept me" i proudly thought. I gently laid myself down onto the bed and swooped the nerve gear into my head.
