A Player To Remember

Discovery Of Something Scary

In the morning, Asuna yawned and woke up, streching as she sat up and rubbed her hair. She groaned loudly and looked around the room that she was in and saw Craig sleeping in other bed beside hers. "He's nice. But remember Asuna.... He can turn on you at anytime. He could do that. But maybe I'm just being paranoid." She then heard her stomach growl as she stood out of bed and started to yawn loudly again. "I'm so tired. I should try to sleep at a later time."

Asuna walked towards the kitchen and sighed a little, putting on a apron and smiling brightly. "I guess I can start making some food... I'll make a dish that he'll never forget!" She said with cheerfulness in her tone of voice. She looked through her menus for items to cook for breakfast. As she was looking, she then looked behind her and heard Craig waking up in the other room. She then sighed and shook her head, starting to make the food and singing in her head.

Craig groaned as he felt a lot of pain on his left arm, but trying his best to not notice it. He then stood up and walked towards the door while holding his arm, still gradually groaning. "A-Asuna..." He said softly as she then looked back at him and jumped, being scared of what she sees. "C-Craig! W-What's wrong with you!? W-What happened to your arm!?" She asked, covering her mouth and running up to him. The same Red aura that was around his sword in battle, was now around his arm, making a little creepy, ominous sound with it. When she tried to touch his arm, the aura made his arm move and punch Asuna in the stomach as she fell down to the ground and held it tightly. "Ow! What was that for!?" She shouted, slowly sitting up.

Craig's eyes widened as he tried to control his arm a bit, but failed. "I-I didn't do that! I-I swear!" He backed away a bit as he held his arm and started to feel a certain type of burn to his hand. He felt pain into his hand as he then hit a wall behind him and slid down on it and the red aura started to go away from his arm. He took deep and shallow breaths as he stood up slowly and noticed that he had a little wobble in his legs. Asuna stood up with him as she walked towards him and gave out a hand, it being a bit shakey and noticed that the punch that she had, took a fraction of her health down. "C-Craig.... P-Please tell me that... Please just say that's a bug or something..." She said as she grabbed his hand and looked up at him. "I-I.... I feel fine... I think it's gone now.  I swear..." He said. Craig then walked to a kitchen table and sat in a chair, looking at stove and saw a pan. "I guess you're fixing something? If you need help, I can help if you like." "No... Um, I'm fine. Just sit there. Yeah. And don't do anything with your arm. We'll find out about that when I finish..." Her voice having a bit sterness as she kept making her breakfast.

Craig sighed and looked at the table, and then behind him into the living room and looking at the picture that the both of them looked at last night, his mind starting to have questions about the girl that they hold with them. "If you don't mind me asking, who's the little girl?" He asked, looking back at her as she came to the table with a plate of home cooked food that consisted of bacon and eggs. "That's Yui. She's technically our daughter. It's a long story with her. When we have time, I'll tell you all about her." He nodded as he looked at her eat her food.

Eating, Asuna looked up at him for a quick second and saw a smile on his face. "That's some good food you got there." He asked, his smile getting more and more bigger. She groaned and slid the plate to him, standing up and looking down at her tank top and shorts. "You can eat the rest. I'll get dressed. I'll have to see if the Knights need me for anything today." She then walked to her room and closed the door, starting to get dressed in the room. She then came out and was messing with her hair a bit and looked at Craig. "Do I look alright? I just feel weird in this." "You're fine. You look like any of the Knights. Now go on. I'll just be finish this up." "Alright. Don't stay here too long. Try to go around town. Maybe you'll find someone who will want help." She then walked to the front door and waved at him and walked out.

He sighed and stood up, putting the plate in the sink and going through his inventory and getting his clothes on. He then walked to the front door and locked the house up, stretching and looking at the morning sun. "Maybe I will meet someone. Someone new to talk too..."
