Kirito stands and walks over to you, his face looks like he's trying to solve something.
"What is it, Kirito?" You ask.
"Sshh..." He puts his hand on your mouth. "You were followed."
With that, you draw out your swords.
Kirito's eyes widen. "A-an orange player." Kirito whispers.
You, and Kirito sneakily looked out the window.
"What?". Those faces are familiar.
They were the guys who were hunting you down in Aincrad.
"K-Kirito, they-"
"I know. Don't worry, I'll protect you." He assures you.

You nod at him.
"Wear your invisibility cloak." He whispers.
You do as he says, and open up your inventory to wear it.
"Stay here, I'm going out." He says.
He was about to reach the doorknob, but you stop him.
"Kirito, no. Don't go out there." You tell him, trying to convince him.
"Don't worry. Stay here and hide." He tells you.
"But I can go out there with you, I don't have to hide. I don't want you to get hurt." You say.
He smiles. "Who says I'm gonna get hurt?"
"B-but Kirito." He lets go of your grip, and heads out the door.
Your tears started to fall as you look out the window.
The two orange players slash their swords on Kirito's body but... nothing happens. Kirito laughs.
"You can't defeat me. I have the ability to regain health over time. Your attacks are useless." He says.
The two players tighten their fists. No choice, they ran away again.
Kirito gets back in the house, and releases a sigh.
"Are you okay?" You stand up and look at him.
"I'm fine." He smiles.
You smile as well. "Arigato, Kirito."
He pats your head. "No problem."
The two of you sit down at the edge of your bed.
Kirito opens up his inventory, and examines his equipments while you stare at the ceiling.
"I may be strong... but sometimes, I'm just so useless." You thought to yourself.
You stare at Kirito as he continuously check his stuff.
You're just so glad you met him. If it wasn't for him, you would've died in Aincrad before.
And even after the incident today, you would've died too.
Kirito closes his inventory and looks at you.
"Huh? Why are you staring at me? Do I have something on my face?" He asks.
"A-ah n-no. Nothing." You say, forgot that you've been staring at him for so long.
You blushed, but turn away so he couldn't see.
