Chapter 6

*Don't play the music yet!*

Kirito's POV:

I awake and see (YN) still asleep. She looked so peaceful. 'Well, better not wake her up.' I thought to myself. I equipped my armour and left through the door. The inn was still uncrowded and I presumed everyone was still in their rooms, asleep, unlike me. I went outside and saw snowflakes falling from the upset clouds outside. I sighed and then started trudging through the already thick layers of snow on the ground.

I walked and walked and finally reached a market. There were only a few people here and th- Klein!
"Klein! Hey!" I shouted and got his attention.
"Hey Kirito! How's you and your girlfr-" he started and before he could finish I waked his head.
"She isn't my girlfriend. She's one of my closest friends in fact, the only one I have, excluding you and the kids." I said and he smirked.
"I didn't seem like that but what were you doing with the children? They aren't yours are they?!" He yelled.
"No they aren't but their parents were killed by the game so (YN) took them in, even if she is (A). After you left on the first day I heard her singing and I asked her if she wanted to accompany me to the next village. She said yes and we've been friends since." I explained the situation, thoughrally.
"Anyway... You here for what?" Klein asked.
"Presents, it's the kids birthdays today." I replied.
"Ah, so how old and what they like?"
"Well Olivia's 5 and Max is 6 so they are 6 and 7 today and they like being with (YN). That's about it." I replied, thinking it all through.
"Hm... Well why don't you get them a locket with this (YN) person in, something like that so when they are worried they can look at them." Klein's idea was good but just where would I get them?
"Ok, but where?" I asked.
"Oh easy! Follow me!" He gestured with his hand and I followed him, as he lead me through the not so crowded market.

I got back from buying the gifts about and hour later after I left. I went to the room where I slept. The covers were hanging limply of the side of the bed. (YN) wasn't in the bed anymore so I decided to the other room.

I arrived and heard a soft mumble of voices and heard (YN) say "OK" to something and then she started singing.

*Play that music now!*

"You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

[2x]
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams".

I snuck into the room as she started he song and heard the whole thing. She was like the best singer ever! Not to be over enthusiastic or anything.
"Well, wasn't that good?" I said and (YN), Max and Olivia all jumped and gazed at me. I smirked and then started walking over.
"Kito!" Max shouted, "I'm 7!" I smiled at him and gave him one of the boxes that I got at the market. He opened it, eager showing in the pupils of his eyes. "Wow! What's this Kito?!" He asked, eagerly.
"Look on the back." I replied and I flipped it over, showing the words '(YN)' engraved on the back
"It's pretty! Mommy! Your names on here!" Max yelled enthusiastically to (YN).
"Kirito... You didn't have to do that for them..." (YN) said and walked over. She bent down and gave me a hug. I was filled with warmth and I wrapped my arms round her small waist.
"Eh, it was nothing. Really." I replied. (YN) stopped hugging me and I gave Olivia her identical necklace to her brothers. She cheered and clapped happily n as she also opened the box and (YN) put the necklaces around their necks.

Later that day we went to floor ones meeting room and saw it was packed. 'Oh yeah, there was a meeting here for the floor 3 boss.' I thought sarcastically. I looked over at (YN) and saw she had an anxious aura around her. I shifted over to her and took her hand in mine. Her hand was fairly small and smooth, her palm though was sticky and her hand was shaking. "Hey, everything will be OK, OK?" I reassured her but at that precise moment, the girl from the first meeting came up to us.

"Well looky what I have here. The couple and the kids . Oh so sweet, unfortunately that will all change today." The girl jeered.

"Why and who are you?" I asked the smirking girl. She was staring at (YN) with hungry eyes, something was up and I had to find out.

"I am the new leader of this group and you shall address me as Asuna. Got it?" We all nodded and she walked off before we could even reply.

"Kirito, I don't like this... at all." (YN) trailed off and then she collapsed backward. 'What?' I asked myself, still shocked. (YN)'s eyes were closed and her breathing was short and un-even. 'God, what had that girl done to you?' I thought. Something wet fell onto my face. It was salty and warm. Tears. My own tears were falling from my eyes. Why? I have no idea. I started shaking (YN) but she didn't respond.

"(YN), please get up! I need you! We need you! Wake up! Please. I think I love you..." I whispered the last part and pulled (YN)'s head onto my lap. Suddenly (YN) started muttering inconsistent words that made 0 sense. She started chocking and then her eyes started to open. Her (EC) eyes stared into mine and she whispered.

"I think I love you too." She replied. I was shocked. She heard that? I felt her lifting herself up until she was kneeling in front of me. She leant forward and our lips brushed. 'Yep, I definitely love you.' I thought and I smiled.
