I'm Here, Kirito

|Chapter 8|

Eugeo was sitting by himself in his room. He thought about what events had happened to him so far, as he was felt like everything was a dream.

"Eugeo?" A voice asked, as that he was thinking it was Alice, but to his surprise, it was Kirito. "Oh, hey, Kirito." 

The teen notice of his best friend felt a little down, "Hey, how about we get into the dojo? We can spar, just the two of us." 

The boy was surprised. "Are you sure, you know I have a robotic body now, right? What if the bamboo sticks split, and we fall?"

Kirito was silent for a moment, then burt out loud laughing. "Seriously, man, you're still tensed, just like in the Underworld. 

C'mon, it would help you relax a little, and it would be just like the old days too." 

Eugeo thought for a moment, then smiled. It had been a long time since they spared on a daily basis, and this will be their first real fight in the real world, the world that Kazuto had known for a long time.

Kazuto felt the pressure of Eugeo, and also he wants to spend time with the young swordsmen. "Ready?" He asked.

Eugeo nods, as that as they spared, the memories of Swordfight Academy came flooding into their minds, as it was been there all this time.

"Hey, you guys! I've been -" A voice said, opening the dojo door, as that it was Alice who saw them sword fighting. 

Seeing that, Alice gave a smile, as she silently watched them both. She never seen them being so happy with each other, without a care in the world.

Although, she felt bad. She never get to see what type of life she would've had, if she wasn't taken to the Cathedral and being manipulated by the Administrator.

The two boys were exhausted as they turned around to see her watching.

"What the- Alice!" Kazuto exclaimed, as she waves her hand at the two boys.

"Hey you guys, nice sparring." She said.

"How long you been watching us, Alice?" Eugeo asked, being slight embarrassed of her watching the fight.

"Well, I was wondering where you went, but I never imagined of seeing you both spar before against each other. It is quite remarkable if you ask me." 

Kazuto blushed, "Uh.. thanks, Alice. Hearing that, it felt nostalgic . Can I have a moment with Eugeo alone if that is all right with you?"

Alice quickly realized of his reasonings as she slid the door to let herself be excused.

Alice walked alone, wondering to herself, "I wonder what they will talk about. Is it because of what happened in the Underworld? 

I shouldn't pry, it's really not my business to know, it'll cause some weird accusations if I butt into their conversation." 

As she continues walking, she notices that she actually left the household without her knowledge .

"Alice, my, what you doing here alone?" She turns around to see Asuna, who was staring at the young blond teen in a curious state.

The two girls sat in a nearby bench as Alice explains of what had happened back at the Kirigaya household.

"Ah, that makes so sense. Kirito seems more concerned about your guys' well-being, there is no doubt he still felt resentment about you living in an unfamiliar world you're not accustom to.

That is something he would do. Don't worry, Alice. Let them have their bromance moment alone. What you want to do in the meantime? Boys would love to take their time." Asuna said. 

Alice titled her head, "I haven't thought of anything else to do? What you recommend, you know this world better than I do. I'm a foreigner here, remember?"

Asuna said, pulling her friend, "I know just the occasion. C'mon, follow me." 

Both girls went forward as Alice followed her lead . "Kirito, please talk to Eugeo about your feelings for each other. 

I am worried about you both." She thought in her mind.
