A Player To Remember

A Dangerous Guild

After a while of walking, Craig got to Rubi's house as he smiled and walked inside, seeing Kiku being hold by Rubi as she patted his head while whispering something to calm him down from crying into tears.

"Craig. You're here." Rubi said softly as she then put Kiku beside her and smiled a bit. "Here, sit. Kiku will start to tell us what happened." Craig nodded and sat beside Rubi, looking at Kiku with a smile. "Come on. It's okay... You can tell us..."

"O-Okay," Kiku said as he sat on his knees on the couch. "W-While I was w-walking... I-I saw a couple of guys t-try to fight this girl... T-The guys just hurt the girl a-and dragged her to some place... S-She seemed weak... B-But she didn't look weak... B-But the weird part is t-that they grabbed her i-in places... A-And that's how the g-guys got her..."

Craig looked at Rubi as she tried to think of what happened and the way Kiku explained what happened. "Kiku. Show me how they touched the woman..." Craig's eyes widened as he looked her. "W-What g-" Rubi covered his mouth and sighed, letting Kiku go to her chest and started to grab it, squeezing it and moving around. "T-This is how they do it... And she was making weird sounds and all that."

Rubi's became red in her cheeks as she looked away and nodded. "O-Okay... T-Thank you..." Kiku got his hands off and stood up, walking to a room and closing the door behind him and looking at Craig with a slight sigh. "What do you think this means? Maybe it's a group of people that does this regularly?" "It has to maybe be a guild... Or someone having plans. We have to watch out for them." Craig said as he crossed his arms and walked to the window, looking out of the window and sighing. "We just have to find out about whose this new group. I'll stay here with you. You might be next." He said, Rubi smiling and looking down at the ground and sighing a bit.

"Craig. Thank you. Me and you will find out about this. I want to get this case down and try to work on this. If this guild keep going doing this, I will not allow them and I'll stop them at any point!" Rubi said with determination in her voice as she looked at him and they exchanged smiles to each other. Craig then looked at his messages and saw that he had three messages. One from Asuna, another one from Silica, and the last one being from Lisbeth. His eyes widened as he looked at the three of them and started to check them one by one.

Lisbeth

Lisbeth: Craig, um... There's a few guys at my shop... If you're there, can you maybe come and help me? They seem so suspicious...

Craig: Um... What happened? Are then trying to do something to you or...?

Lisbeth: I don't know. I just have a weird feeling about them...

Craig: Just try say nothing to them if they try anything.

Lisbeth: ....

Craig: Liz? You there? I'll text back later. Or I'll come over there later.

Conversation Disconnected.

Craig looked at the and shook his head, going onto to Silica's text.

Silica

Silica: Hey, pervert.

Craig: Great way to text me.

Silica: Just stating the facts. ):3

Craig: Yeah yeah. Is there some reason you texted me?

Silica: Oh? I just can't text a friend these days? Wow...

Craig: Well, I mean last time, you texted me to save you.

Silica: Do you think I'll text you every time, my knight in shining armor?

Craig: Eh... I guess. Just saying.

Silica: Well... Hmm? Wait a few... There's someone at the door... Odd.

Craig: Alright. I'll be here when you come back.

Silica: Alright, Bye!

Conversation Disconnected.

"Great. Now one more and I'll be done." Craig said, feeling a little paranoid about why all the girls started to disappear and not text back. "Asuna is the final one."

Asuna

Asuna: Hey... Me and Kirito actaully talked it out. We still haven't agree about the Yui thing...

Craig: I'm glad that you two aren't shouting and fighting at each other anymore.

Asuna: Me too. So what's this talk about a girl you found?

Craig: Oh, Rubi? She's actually pretty cool...

Asuna: Pretty cool? Hmmm. Maybe me and her can meet up sometime.

Craig: Yeah. Sure. We'll plan that one day. But other then that, have you been hearing about this guild that been doing stuff to girls?

Asuna: No, not really. If that was happening, the Knights would of told me.

Craig: Hey... But just a theory.... But do you think the knights are doing this?

Asuna: That... Would sound a bit true. But there's not even no evidence of that. Maybe tell the guards. I-

Craig: Asuna? You there? You kinda messed up...

Conversation Disconnected

"What the? Why did they all disconnect?  Texts don't normally disconnect like that." Craig said as he then closed his menu. "Rubi... I think we might have to check a few places to see if some people I know are alright."

Rubi nodded and stood up, putting her sword and shield to her side. "Alright. The faster we get there, the more time we have to check on whoever."

Craig and Rubi started to walk, until they both got a message out of random.

???: Now now, what do we have here? A hero and a sidekick? Trying to save the damsils in distress? Why, that won't be a easy job. Anyways, even if you do try to get the girls, I'll just get them back from killing you and your little friend. So you better back off. Or there will be horrible conquestes. Goodbye....
