A Player To Remember

Nobody Can Protect You....

At the time Craig is at Rubi's house.

Asuna was sitting at home and she stood up and started to walk back and forth and tried to think about what to do. She then had a idea to text Kirito and tell him to come over, so they can talk. She then opened up her menu and started to text him, having a smile on her face and giggling a bit. "Maybe he's thought about what we both said to each other and he'll think about who's... Right." She said to herself.

After a few seconds after the text, Kirito came to the house and knocked on her door. "Okay... Try to be happy... Don't say anything wrong."

Asuna then came to the door and opened it, seeing Kirito and smiling. "You actually came. I thought you wouldn't..."

"Asuna. Look, I'm sorry. Okay? We're just in a heated moment. I've now thought that I'm being greedy to myself and trying to get out of the game. So I'll help you..." Kirito said to her, smiling and crossing his arms at her.

"It's not that simple... Look. I want to be like before... You know. Once we get Yui back, we live back in here. Together." Asuna, having a bit of tears in her eyes, walked up to Kirito and held his hand with both of hers. "I want to not think about death in this game. I want to think of this beautiful scenery... How we were before this..."

Kirito listened to her as he nodded and came closer to her with a smile on his face. "Then we the chance for Yui to come back comes, we'll take it. But for now, let just be with each other for now. Enioy this game."

Asuna smiled as he then tried to kiss her, but her eyes widened and she moved to the side and just gave a nervous smile. "Sorry... But not now... I just don't feel that kind of way yet..."

Kirito nodded as he understanded and sat on the couch. "I'm fine with that. So about Craig...." "He's just a friend. I would of left him at this point, but I think he's really fighting for something... And I want to help him for what he's fighting for. He's more tempted to get or help what he wants then all of us. And I like that in him. So don't be jealous of him. He's not trying to steal me from you or anything."

Kirito then chuckled and looked away, knowing that he was about to lie to himself. "Oh... Promise me, it wasn't going to be that question," He said while rubbing his head, "I was going to ask if he was going to help with are Yui get back.

Asuna nodded as she started to text Craig and looked at him ever so often. "Mhmm! There's actually a tournament that can actually give a revival potion if the user wins! So that's our plan. You want to join?" Kirito shrugged and stood up, stretching as he did. "Sure. I'm fine with that. I-" A knock came to the door as it confused Kirito of who it can be at the door.

"You didn't invite him yet... Did you?" Asuna shook her head as she was confused with him, thinking who it was at the door. "I actually didn't. It might just be some mail. Or something dumb."

Kirito walked toward the door and opened it, then seeing two guys with short swords coming from the door and then quickly stabbing him and he falling to the ground, holding his stomach from the deep wound.

Asuna stopped her texting as she stood up and got her rapier ready, facing the two armed men in front of her. "Kirito!" She shouted as she gripped her rapier's grip and looked at the men with glare as then one of them tried to attack her, but she blocked it off with the blade, the guy backing off and growling at her.

The other guy tried to get a high blow at her head, but Asuna ducked and swiped at the guy's stomach, causing him to back away as she stood up fully. Both of them basically understand that she had a pattern now. They smirked at each other before one of them then went to attack her body, but she blocked and then the other one did the same thing, but went for her head this time.

With the both of them changing where to hit her at, the three of their swords made sparks fly everywhere. Until then one sweep Asuna's legs and she feel onto one knees and she then looked at one of the guys as she was going to attack, but then got punched from the other one, making her being knocked out on the ground. The guys chuckled and then picked her up, starting to walk to the front door and sighing. "The Flash is finally ours. I know everyone will use her like no tomorrow."

Kirito couldn't get up as the deep stab would of ruined his stomach up worse then it already is as he started to lose his consciousness.

"Asuna.... N-No..."
