Kirito's POV:

Everyone was shocked. Fear, confusion and some smirks were in the crowd preparing for the meeting today. The few people who had smirks on their faces all rolled up their sleeves in unison. More of the black symbols of the Laughing Coffin were on others skin. Some where already pressing 'equip' on their own swords. They all stood in a fighting stance, preparing to fight. A few of them walked over to the row of seats (YN) was laying on. They muttered un heard words and before they could finish, I shouted out, "What do you want with her?!" They just smirked. I had had enough. I threw Asuna to the ground and equipped my own sword. I scanned the crowd for anyone I could trust to keep and eye on Max and Olivia. The familiar red haired man I know too well appeared in front of me. "Klein, can you look after Max and Olivia? I need to get (YN) back. Now!" I asked, more like pleaded, him. He just nodded and Max and Olivia came over.

"Kito?" Said Max, worried. I oticed he had his Birthday present in his hand and another small object. A small stone, shaped as a heart. The words engraved on it were, 'Follow Your Heart and You'll Find Hope.' "What's going on? Where's Mom?" He was now panicking at something he saw behind us. Me and Klein turned round and I was shocked. The tallest man in the group was holding (YN) up by the collar. He was also holding a sharp knife, at least 8 inches long, to her throat.
"No! Put her down now! What did she ever do to you, hey?" I shouted out. Some people gasped, others muttering 'No one ever talks back to a Laughing Coffin member!' I wasn't interested. I just needed (YN) back, and now.
"We need her for her... How do we put it... Ability." Sneered the one holding her up.
"What? She's a normal human girl! What is wrong with you? Let her go now!" I said furious.
"Ah, that's were your wrong little boy. In reality she has this ability she can use, yet she hasn't discovered it yet."
"How do you know this. Surely only friends or her paren-" the guys cut me of and a woman, who looked nothing like (YN), stepped forward.
"You see, we are her god parents. You know, 2 people that look out for her." The woman said, sneering and trying to taunt me.
"What?! Aren't you want to look after her and not try to kill her!" I said outraged.
"You see... We only it so we could get our hands on her." The man said. I growled an charged but before I could get there, they teleported along with the rest of LC. I heard sniffing behind me and saw Max and Olivia crying on the floor. I rushed over to them and they hugged my waist.
"Kito! Where's Mommy!" Shouted Max.
"I want Mummy back!" Sobbed Olivia.
"Sh... It's alright... We'll get her back." I said in a soothing voice.
"Please! We need her!" Whined Olivia. I nodded and stroked her head.
"Come in kids, let's go and get a room or two..." I said sadly and I took the kids to find 2 rooms.

We wandered around on floor 2, looking for an inn. Liv started tugging on my right sleeve and I turned to face her. She moved her index finger and pointed at a reasonably priced inn. We walked over to it and saw the lady at the desk. "Um, can we have a room for the night?" I asked her
"Yes, we have one room available. 3rd floor, third on the right." She instructed. We nodded and started the long trek up the stairs. The whole way, I could hear Liv and Max crying silently. However, if they weren't there, I would probably be crying as well. She was my best friend and... the one I loved.

In the room was one double bed, a kitchen and a bit of a sitting area with a clock on the wall. 'I guess this isn't too bad...' I thought.

(YN)'s POV:

Where am I? All I remember was, being knocked out and then... Waking up here... Wait! Where's Kirito? Max and Olivia? I tried to shout for them but it was only muffled by a piece of rope restraining my speech. My ankles and wrists were bound in chains tied to the wall. To be honest, I was like one of those people you see in movies that are kept in a basement and are never seen again. Suddenly I could hear something. No, someone. Coming down the stairs. "Well, well, well, what do we have here, (YN) (LN)?"

*Timeskip: 1 year later...*

Kirito's POV:

It's been one year. One year since I've seen her, (YN). I missed her. Her smile. Her laugh and the way she managed to cope with everything within the current situation. Max was now 8 and Liv was 7. I was also one year older, 15 in fact. Once again, i opened my menu to see if I could track her, but unlike all the other times I had tried, there was someone on the map labeled, (YN). My eyes widened, I've found her, I've really found her! "You two, come here! We need to go out!" I shouted to the siblings. I heard their running feet and then saw them appear in front of where I was standing.
"What is it Kirio?" Max asked. He had gotten a bit better at the pronunciation of my name during this past year but Liv still struggled a bit, managing to pass of my name as, Kitro.
"Well, you'll just have to see! I said excitedly, and a bit nervously. I mean we haven't seen each other in a year. Would she still remember me? Would she still remember them? There was only one way to find out...

I had my map open and was trying to figure out where (YN) was going and which would be the quickest way to do it. I then appeared to me that she was heading to the town of beginnings. Which was relevantly close to where we were. We started running when I saw someone running. They had (HC), (HL) hair and purple, blue and black bruises scattered around on her (ST) skin. 'That's her!' I shouted to myself. In all honesty, she looked terrible. Her clothes were torn and she looked as though she owned nothing. But I kept running towards her.
"(YN)! (YN)! Please stop!" I shouted towards her. I saw her freeze. She whipped round immediately and her eyes widened. She then sprinted towards us. As she reached us she pulled me into a huge hug and I whispered to her, "I though I lost you..." I felt my clothes getting damp and took that as a sign that she was crying.

(YN)'s POV:

There he was. Kirito was there I front of me. I count believe it so I started to run at him and started hugging him tightly. I heard him mutter, "I thought I lost you..." before I broke out in tears. I missed him. He was one of the only people who cared for me in this game. I felt two smaller pairs of hand start to hug my back and was relieved to see Max and Liv. They both looked fine, and there levels had increased in this past year was it? At this moment in time I didn't really care. I was back with my friends and was away from those jerks...

*Flashback*

"Well, well, well, what do we have here, (YN) (LN)?" A voice sneered. I was scared, shaking even. This man was recognisable but I couldn't tell who it was with the dim light in the room. And that was when the torture began. Beating me that bad, that even though you can't feel pain in the game I could feel myself aching and the pain of the freshly made bruises...

*Flashback end*

I wanted to get out of here. I felt someone pick me up and then I fell into a deep slumber.
