*Don't play the song yet!*

Kirito's POV:

"Why!? Why'd you let him die?!" Shouted Kiaba.
"He wouldn't let me hea-" (YN) started.
"Why you blaming mummy!?" Shouted Olivia, getting everyone's attention. A 5 year old standing up for a 14 year old and back talking to a 40 odd year old man. Brave.
"Ha! What you gonna do about it, ha?" Kiaba jeered.
"Back off! She's a child for gods sake!" (YN) shouted, startling everyone. Kiabas smirk disappeared, and was replaced with a look of shock. (YN) was standing up, red tear stains under her eyes. She looked distressed and was leaning on the wall near her.
"What! H-how!?" He stuttered.
"Magic, it's easy really." She replied sarcastically, like it was the most simple thing in the world. I chuckled.
"What do you mea- you were a beta tester!" He registered with hatred.
"Yep, Sword Angel's the name." She smirked. Everyone was in shock. The strongest player in the beta test was here and everyone knew who she was.
"Your worse than a beta tester, your a cheater! A beater!" Many people shouted out. I felt bad for her and I could see in her eyes that she needed help.
"So what if she was. She isn't the only one. Me and Diabel were too! How's it feel to know that the person you trusted was one. A beta tester!" I shouted at them and with that I took Max and Olivia's hands and walked over to (YN) and together we all walked away, (YN) equipping the (FC) cloak she got for getting the last kill. We left the dungeon and went in search for a room or two for the night.

As we left, the iron door of the dungeon slammed shut behind us. We walked behind us when I heard someone fall and I'm guessing it was (YN) as Olivia shouted "Mummy! Wake up!" I turned around and saw (YN) on the floor. She was knocked out cold and her breathing was uneven. I rushed back to her side and knelt next to her.
"(YN)! (YN)! Wake up please!" I shouted at her. She was still unmoving. I picked her up bridal style and started moving towards a merchant who could help with the situation at hand. I walked around a bit, Max and Olivia walking by me sides, finally seeing a shop with a red cross on the outside.

A bell tingled as I opened the door and I saw a npc behind a counter. She had dark red hair, the colour of blood, and had an apron around her waist. She had green eyes the exact shade as Olivia's. Her skin was also pale, but freckles decorated around and on her nose.
"Hello, how may we be of service of you?" The woman asked.
"Um... My friend here has an... Issue and no one else knows what it is." I explained, leaving out the bit about her singing killing the floor one boss.
"Do you have any idea how it happened, like where she was at the time?" Great, now I can't let it not slip.
"Um well, we and about 70 others went to defeat the floor one boss and when the leader died, she started to sing to him and the boss died. That's about it." I recounted.
"(YN), (YN) (LN). This is her. Isn't it!?" She asked, well sorta whispered. I nodded. "I can't believe it. I found my daughter! Oh my! Who are you, just asking?" She asked and I was shocked. This was her mum. She was so unlike her mum. (YN) had no freckles yet her mother did. Did she get it from her dad?
"I'm Kirito, Mrs (LN). " I replied and I placed (YN) on a small table as I recited from her mother.

After hours of waiting and waiting, and Max and Olivia both asleep on the small plastic chairs in a small room with nothing but a TV, a stack of magazines and a few cupboards here and there. Then (YN)'s mum came in and told us all that she was awake. We all ran out the room, following behind her mum. When we reached the door, (YN)'s mum stepped aside and I grabbed the door handle and twisted it open. It squeaked a high pitched squeak as it opened. Inside was a hospital bed and (YN) was wide awake sitting in the bed. Max and Olivia were over there like someone was running a marathon.
"Mummy! Your OK!" Yelled Liv and she jumped on the bed and hugged (YN)'s arm.
"Yeah, I'm ok now. There's no need to worry." (YN) assured.
"Yay!" Shouted Max, also jumping on the bed. While both the children were hugging (YN), her mum turned to talk to me.
"Young sir, I have a few questions to ask you. The first one: why do those children keep calling her mummy? She's too young to be an actual parent." She said. I nodded and spoke,
"Well she isn't actually their parent but when we first join this hell, they lost their parent, them being siblings, and she was always there for them so they call her mummy and stuff like that but no, she isn't their actual parent." I explained and she sighed with relief.
"Right now two: how long have you known our (YN)?" She asked.
"Well when we joined this game, we bumped into each other when I was saying goodbye to a friend and I heard we singing so I went over to her and asked her to join me and I really just got to know her as Max and Olivia so I decided to stay with them even if I was originally a solo player." I explained, again.
"I have one request of you Kirito. If you and her both get back, please look after her, she suffers too much. She lost me and my husband already and I think she'll kill herself if she lost anyone else. Please look after her!" (YN)'s mother said. I was shocked. (YN) was parentless?
"I will but I know nothing. Where does she live?" I asked trying to reason my point.
"In Japan, Tokyo." She replied. Same place I live. 'Huh.' I thought.
"OK then, I'll try my best." With that she left and I turned back to (YN). She was still with the children and they were all talking and I turned at the exact time (YN) touched Olivia's nose and she stun he's up her eyes.
"Hey Kirito! Come on over here!" (YN) shouted at me. I smiled and went to join her over with the others.

Later on we left the hospital and went to then find a room on floor 2. There were loads of little inns but we had enough col to get a more expensive one, considering we just won a boss fight, I mean come on! As we were walking we saw a large hotel and walked inside. The lobby was nicely decorated and flowers were in cases on every windowsill. There was an old woman behind the desk and she was tapping away on the buttons on the metal cash register. I walked up to the desk, taking everyone else with me.
"Um... Hi, can we have 2 rooms for the night?" I asked, trying to be as polite as possible.
"I'm sorry but we only have 1 one and it has enough room for either 2 or 4 people to go in." She replied. She looked around at us all and her gaze stopped, fixing on (YN). She murmured something but I replied.
"We'll take it!" I replied hastily. The lady handed us a key and we went to room 14 on floor 2.

Inside the room it was nice and I looked at a clock on a mantelpiece. It read 8:43. It was definitely time for bed. Apparently (YN) was thinking the same because as soon as we got into the room, she started pushing the children one way into a room.

Your POV:

I pushed the kids to a room and saw a double bed. 'Great!' I thought sarcastically to myself.
"Kirito!" I shouted.
"Yeah?!" He yelled back.
"There's only double beds! Why do we do?!"
"What we did last time we had to share!" And that was the end of the convocation.
"Come on then you two. Get into bed, we've all had a busy day." I said in a soothing voice. They got into bed as before I could walk out they both shouted.
"Sing!" I mean what other choice did I have?

*Play the song now!*

"Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece

Little do you know
I need a little more time

Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight

Little do you know
I need a little more time

I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me

Little do you know
I know you're hurting while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are slowly drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece

Little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies

Oh wait, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain,
Just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid,
Just wait
Our love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me

I'll wait (I'll wait), I'll wait (I'll wait)
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait (I'll wait)
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
So lay your head on me

'Cause little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies"

When I finished, I walked out and turned out the light. The door shut behind me and I walked to the other bed in the other part of the room. As I entered, Kirito was already asleep so I unequipped my armour and went to bed, and I was off like a light.
