A Player To Remember

The Small Talk And Walk

~Slight Explicit Language In This Part~

The gang were walking as Miki and Riko were running around with each other, Ethan talking to Kirito, as they already had a little bit of past experiences together, Rosalia talking to Elizabeth and showing off thier weapons to each other, and Craig and Rubi barely talking to each other as they both had a faint red on their cheeks. Rubi then looked up at Craig and smiled, trying to make the awkward moment go away. "So... Who's the new girl with y'all?" She asked as Craig smiled and then crossed his arms. "That's a girl who mostly know then all of us. Her "grandfather" really knows alot of stuff that could help us in the future. Who's the new guys you're with?"

"Oh? Well Ethan and Miki found us with Luke and Riko. They work for the guild that we're trying to beat. H-" She then got interrupted by Craig, who ran to got a bit anger taking him over as he then ran to him and tackled him onto the ground. "You... Your guild took Asuna!" He shouted loudly as he then punched him in the cheek. "You took Silica!" He then punched him again. "Even Lisbeth! I'm killing you!" He shouted more loudly as He was going to slam his fist into his face, but Kirito, Ethan and Rosalia took him off and held him back. Riko, becoming scared, then ran to Rubi with tears and some blood falling down from his face. "C-Craig! W-What gotten into you!?" Rubi shouted as she put her arms around Riko.

Craig kept kicking his feet as his eyes started to glow red with anger. "You trust him!? We should kill him!! He deserves to die!! He could kill us all if he had the chance!!" He tried to get out of the three holding him, but their grip kept getting tighter to hold. Rubi looked down at the crying Riko as she soothingly rubbed his head and looked at Craig with a mad growl. "He's helping us! He's the one leading us there, you dummy!" She shouted as Craig still tried to fight back the grip. It wasn't his normal self. Like last time with Asuna, he didn't do things that he would normally do. Like get this mad about something.

Elizabeth looked at Craig and started to noticed his red eyes. She gasp in shock, but didn't say anything to nobody, having a idea in her head about what is wrong with him.

"Kirtio, Ethan, Rosalia. You three keep him in check. I'll be with the rest." She said seriously as she then held Riko's hand and started to walk him.

Miki went to Riko and gave him a small smile. "Are you okay? That looked like it hurt..." She asked as he nodded weakly while looking down. She then got a idea to make him happy and giggled. "You wanna hear a joke? I'm sure it'll make you laugh!" "Sure..."

"Okay, Okay... What's a cheerleader's favorite dog?" She paused as she waited for Riko to anwser, but nothing came. "A Pom-eranian!" She then laughed as Rubi smiled and Riko laughed a little bit too.

Ethan smiled at the four of them in front as he was still holding Craig's hand, not letting him have a chance to escape and maybe act crazy again. "I'm not going to let you go if you're wondering that." "Whatever.... I just want to help... Hell, I know more about Lisbeth then you would."

Ethan then twisted his arm and growled a little bit. "Fuck... You.... She's been with me since the beginning... So I think that not even you would know about her." Craig looked back at him with one eye and smirked. "Oh what? Are you going to kill me?' He smartly said as he smirked more and then started to chuckle. "I'm just saying. You can do that. But just remember the consequences coming to you..." Ethan just rolled his eyes and kept walking.
