my savior (Kirito x Eugeo)

Chapter 10 Not again

     "She what?" Eugeo stuttered "she woke up this morning, and her memories were gone. Everything.  She has no memories of us or from back in your world" I say. Trying not to choke on my words. "H-how did this happen? Can they get her memories back!?" Eugeo asks, frantically. "they've tried, although nothing has worked so far." I say quietly. His eyes started to fill with tears of the thought of Alice forgetting everything. I opened my arms signaling a hug, Eugeo stepped forward and leaned his head on my shoulder softly crying. And I too, felt tears rolling down my cheek. "I can't lose her again" Eugeo stuttered. "I know, I can't either" I say, stuttering. "We will find a way to get her memories back, I promise." I say, quietly. The only response I got from Eugeo was a small nod. 

Time skip: two days later.

     "Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" I asked Eugeo, walking down stairs towards the front door. "Yes I'm sure, I'll be alright." Eugeo says, following behind me. I sigh as I get to the bottom of the stairs "fine, if you insist. But I'll be heading back home as soon as possible" I say, stopping and looking at him. He too, stops at the bottom of the stairs. "Okay, but don't skip any classes just because you want to get home early" Eugeo says, teasing "skipping these classes are way harder than the ones we took from your world, and the ones we took from your world was way more interesting, the stuff we learn here is so boring" I scoffed. "Is school here really that boring?" Eugeo asks. "It is" I say looking at my watch "oh crap- I'm going to be late! I got to go" I say, facing the front door putting my shoes on quickly "all right, see you when you get home" Eugeo says "okay, bye!" I say putting on my backpack and rushing out the door as Eugeo waves me off. 

     I run down the driveway and pass a few houses before stopping quickly walking to my school. I haven't gone to school in a month. again. I've gotten emails and calls asking when I'm going to come back or if I'm all right. I barely replied to any. My mind starts to calm down as I feel the cold breeze against my face. Leaves falling off the trees and the sun rising over some clouds. I heard the crunching of leaves as I walked over them and the sounds of birds. It was peaceful. For a moment at least, I have time to think again. My mind now wonders looking through my memories. Damn it, I don't want to have those thoughts. I think, grinding my teeth. Wait, when did the thought of Asuna become sad?  The thought of her always made me happy. But now, it's just painful.

Time skip: a few hours ahead.

Eugeo's pov.

     I sat out on the back porch getting some fresh air. The last two days I've been sulking in my feelings, feeling terrible about the situation. I can do nothing as of now since we can't go into the lab yet, but hopefully once we do and once Alice sees us she might remember something if not everything. I'm hoping for the last one, but it would be amazing just to get at least some progress. Damn, I miss you Alice… I thought, as my mind started to drift into nothing. I came to once I heard the sliding glass door open. I thought that it might be Sugu since Kirito doesn't get back for another couple hours. I turned to see a middle-aged man staring at me standing just outside the glass door. "Oh hello, I'm Kirigaya. And you are?" He asks, reaching his hand to shake mine. "I'm Eugeo, nice to meet you" I said, shaking his hand. Is this a family member of Kirito's?  "Who are you a friend of?" Kirigaya asks. "Kirito's friend" I replied. "Oh ok... Where is he?"  He asks, not amused. "He's at school right now." I say. "And why aren't you? He's not allowing you to skip is he?" He asks curiously. "No no nothing like that, I'm not enrolled in school, and he's allowing me to stay here until I can get a place to stay, I just recently arrived in Japan so I'm getting accustomed to everything." Kirito and I agreed if anyone asks me any question like this that's what I would say. We can't exactly let the public know that I'm artificial. Well there are some exceptions to the people who have already met me in the underworld but besides that they're not allowing the public to know. "And what a coincidence, I'm staying here until I can find a place to live too, I'm there Uncle you see."  Kirigaya says "oh, ok" I say. We chat for a bit longer then Kirigaya goes inside to do whatever he pleases. After a while I also went inside and headed to Kirito's room. I was bored and had nothing to do, so I picked up one of Kirito's books and started reading. 

Don't know how much time has passed but I started to hear shouting downstairs. I heard Kirito's voice and went to investigate. I slowly walk down the stairs and turn the corner slightly and see Kirito and Kirigaya. "Instead of going to bars, why don't you save up your money for a place to stay!" Kirito shouts. "You can't fucking control me" Kirigaya says sloppy. Kirito sighs. "We will have this conversation once you're sober," Kirito says firmly. Kirigaya walks off into the living room and Kirito faces the stairs. "Oh- Eugeo, hay" Kirito says, sounding exhausted. "Hay, is everything all right?" I asked. "I really don't know, today was exhausting. I really didn't want to come home to that. Anyways, how are you?" Kirito asks "um, it was okay" I say. "that's good. Have you already met Kirigaya?" Kirito asks. "I have" I say. "Do you know if he came home drunk?" Kirito asks. "No, I don't think so" I say, thinking back on our conversation. "Hmm... Okay, let's go upstairs" Kirito says. We both head up to his room and Kirito flops backsided on his bed letting out a sigh as he hits the mattress. "You sure you're okay?" I ask, closing the door and facing him. "Yeah I'm okay, I just parted with a lot of work today since I missed so many days, that is my fault though. Then I had to come home to him" Kirito pouts. "How was school?" I asked sitting on the bed beside him looking down at him. "It was exhausting, I have a lot of homework to get finished." Kirito says. "I can try to help you with it" I ask. 'if you really want to, you can." Kirito says, sitting up from the bed "shoot, I left my back downstairs. let me go get it" keratosis getting up from the bed heading downstairs. "Okay" I shout. 

I tried helping Kirito with his homework but I was struggling with it so I wasn't much help. But whenever he got off task I always made sure he got back to work, at least I helped with that. I went to bed at around 8:00 and Kirito was still doing his homework. I'm not sure how late he stayed up  but the next morning he looked really tired. And that's how the next couple of days went.  all I wanted to do was see Alice again. But the closer we get to that day, the longer it seems like the days become.

.... I don't even know where to begin with this ;-; uh- it took me a couple of months to get this out? I'm not sure how many but more than two. I apologize for not posting in so long. school and my mental health I've been keeping me busy, or not busy with the lack of motivation I have. Going back to in person learning has been really draining for me so that's part of the reason why I haven't been writing. But writer's block is finally starting to disappear and I'm getting my  motivation back! So hopefully you guys won't have to wait so long next time for the next chapter to be posted, I'mma try to make that happen in at least 2 weeks! I do feel really bad making you guys wait all this time and to just have this crappy short chapter, so I'll try to post more regularly but also have long chapters and entertaining events so y'all don't get bored.

Anyways that's it for this chapter! I hope you all have a wonderful day and or night!
