For you(SAO Kirito X ???)

Prologue 3

"Come here please... And save him...!" Asuna was crying. I could hear her teardrops dropping on the phone of hers that was connected to mine.

"I'm scared... I'm scared Kazuto..."

"Where are you..?"

I couldn't leave her alone...

"Okay, I'll be right there." I hung up the phone and got up.

I felt a pull on my jeans.

"Don't go... I'm sick... Don't go..." I saw Sugu holding on to my jeans and begging not to go.

"Sugu... There's a problem with Asuna... I have to go to her right now... I'll come back quickly and take you to the hospital. Just wait a bit..!"

"I'm sick..! I'm really sick... Don't go onii-chan" She grabbed my jeans tighter.

I placed my flip phone on her hands that was grabbing my jeans, "Sugu, count till 500. I'll be here before you count till 500. Okay? I promise!"

I put out a pinky finger for a pinky swear, but she slapped in to the ground.

"I'm really going to die" It wasn't a play she was doing. I knew she would only say that when she's really sick.

"I'll be back by 500. Just count to 500." I ran out of Sugu's room and heard small sounds of numbers.

I ran as fast as I could to the main street and caught a taxi to a hotel, Asuna was talking about.

I went up the elevator.

1...

2...

3...

4...

The elevator raised slowly when I needed it to go faster.

When I got to 25th floor, I ran to room number 2503.

And slamed the door open.

On the floor I saw a guy's hand when I was opening the door, soon that hand became a dead body. There were sharp glasses around him and by the colors I knew it was a beer bottle.

Asuna was sitting in the corner of the room, where it was near the opened terrace, holding her head with her hands...

Shivering.

I walked towards the man on the floor and tried counting his heart rates with my fingers.

...

...

There was no sign of his heart beating.

I got up the floor and looked at Asuna.

"Is... Is he dead?"

I nodded my head slowly... "He's dead..."

"I... I didn't kill him... I didn't kill him!!" Asuna shouted across the room and I came up to her and crunched down.

"He... He tried to do bad things to you, didn't he? And that's why you couldn't help it."

Asuna slowly while shaking nodded her head. I could see her hands wildly trembling and hold her soft white hands.

"Then you turn yourself in. It was a self-defense. An accidental homicide... Perhaps you may be able to get... Probation... Turn yourself in Asuna." I looked at her seriously. Her eyes made little drops of tears and the opened her mouth.

"It will be the end of it for me then! Self-defense, accidental homicide, probation... I don't need any of that! If this gets out to the world... My career as a singer is over!"

I put my hands on her shoulder and looked right through her eyes, "Who cares if you quit being a reporter? You can start doing something else! Whatever you want to do, you can start from scratch and go up!"

"Are you saying that I should crawl back to the place of poverty? Do you know how I've come this far? Do you not know how I escaped from it? Are you really saying to me to go back to hell? Just tell me to die instead! I'd rather die!!"

Asuna got up from the floor and headed to the open terrace where there wasn't any safety gears or anything. Only the beautiful view high up in 25th floor. She threw herself into the sky and I held her from the back with all my strength.

"Are you crazy?"

"Let me go! I don't have any meaning to live!"

"Why are you acting this way Asuna!"

"For the last 15 years, I dreamt of being a reporter to get out of poverty! It's all over now!!!"

I hold my wrist, letting Asuna free. I groaned. Her long clear finger nails made a long and clear mark of a moon crest on the wrist of my arms.

"Kazuto!?" Blood was dripping a bit and Asuna stopped trying to jump from the terrace.

"Are you all right?" She was looking at me full of guilt.

"Why..." I said small and slowly.

"Why can't I be the reason...? For the last 15 years, you are the one who has kept me going when there was no hope. Someone like me... Can't I be the reason for you to live?"

Her red eyes stared at me for a while and we headed into the room. Away from the cold weather outside.

We sat on the ground. Our backs on the side of the bed and next to each other.

"Do you think god exists? ...... Why does he do this only to me? Why is he cruel to me...? What have I done wrong? If he wanted to be cruel, he should've done that from the beginning. So I won't think my life is over... Or even dream about it... He should have just crushed me into pieces from the beginning. Just try. Work hard. Why did he give me all those hopes and lead me to have empty dreams?"

"Maybe it's because you are pretty, cute, amazing, awesome, lovely, loveable, and perfect. He was jealous of your perfectness..."

She smiled.

"I'm hungry... I will go to the police station and ask them to order a large French fry and hamburger with coke."

She got her phone out of her pocket and dialed 112.

"Is this the police station? I'm trying to turn myself in-"

I snatched the phone from Asuna's hands. My arm, fingers, a hand was shaking like I was in antartica.

I kissed her on her red rosy lips for a second and separated my lips from hers. I stood up and picked up a cloth from the bath room.

"Kazuto! What are you doing?"

I was wiping every trait there was in the room. The desks, the beer, wine bottles, the phone, everything.

"I was the one who killed him."

"Kazuto"

"I killed him. You know nothing about this."

She tried stopping me, but I pushed her out of the room.

"Just go out of here now. And never look back. Just look ahead."

"I... I don't want to. Why should you? Why would you?"

"It's okay if I don't become a doctor. But you won't make it without your dream. Your mind will become sick and suffer from it. You'll die early."

I layed my hand on my stomach.

"I haven't eaten all day. I want to go to the police station and eat there... Go Asuna"

From her big brown eyes, there were tears like rain drippling out. I closed the door of 2503 and smiled at her.

"Bye Asuna."
