My Partner In More Ways Than One (Sword Art Online Kinon Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1

I am riding as fast as I can to Sinon's house on my motorcycle. Ever since I found out about there being two Death Guns I've worried for Sinon. She's just a sweet, innocent, and kind soul. When I arrive at her apartment I run up the stairs and when I reach her door I can hear screaming from inside. I don't even think I act completely on instinct. I barge through the door to see a guy on top of a brown haired girl who's face I recognize. I run and tackle the guy and yell "Run Sinon!! Get out of here!" Now I turn my full attention to the guy who was on top of Sinon. There is a psychotic look in his eyes.
"YOU'RE HIM! I WON'T YOU TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!! I'LL KILL YOU BEFORE THAT HAPPENS!!! SHE'S MINE!!!!! SHE'S ALL MINE!!!!!!!" He screams at the top of his lungs. He pushes against me and overpowers me and is now holding my collar trying to choke me out. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks like a syringe. I start to struggle even more but there no use. His strength has increased due to his rage. He stabs me in the chest with the syringe and starts to pump whatever was I the syringe into me. Next thing I know he is hit over the head with a radio and falls over unconscious. I look up to see Sinon I smile "You're ok. Good." I say.
She kneels down next to me "Why did you do that he could have killed you?" She asks tearing up.
I smile "Because I promised you I wouldn't let anyone hurt you. And he may have killed me. Whatever was in that syringe is now in me." My vision starts to blur. And the next thing I know I'm in a hospital room with a needle in my arm. I try to sit up and immediately feel pain in my head. When I look around I notice that Sinon is sitting in a chair with her head on my bed sleeping. When I squeeze my hand to make a fist I feel something in my right hand. I look at my hand at see Sinon's hand holding mine. I smile and blush "I'm surprised Asuna isn't here because you know she's my girlfriend and all but why is Sinon here then?" I squeeze her hand and when I do she stirs and sits up. And sees me awake. She practically jumps into my arms. I'm feel two different things when she hugs me happiness and pain however I don't let my pain show. I hug her back "Sorry if I worried you, Sinon." I say.

When I say that she hugs me even tighter "Of course you worried me. How could I not worry?" She says into my shoulder.

"Well it looks like we're interrupting something. Would you like us to come back later Kirito?" I hear a familiar voice ask me.

When I look up I see the rest of my friends standing in the doorway. Including Asuna.

Sinon the turns around and jumps away from me and starts blushing very hard "God she's to damn cute. What am I saying I have a girlfriend for God's sake." But I can't help but smile at Sinon.

"Looks like your awake Kirito." Asuna says as she walks up and hugs me and kisses me on the cheek. I could swear I saw her eyeball Sinon but I brushed it off.

For the next ten minutes there was hugging and welcoming me "back to the land of the living" as Klein would say.

After that the doctor comes in and gives me the usual questions. "How are you feeling? Is there any pain?" And so on and so forth.
I was then told I'd been out for a week. A WHOLE WEEK! And I would have to stay a whole week more for tests. And through that entire time I could feel my eyes drift towards not Asuna.... but towards Sinon. She was standing away from everyone else "probably cause she thinks this is her fault. And why are my eyes going towards her and not Asuna?"

After the doc leaves everyone wants to talk to me but there's only one person I want to talk to.

"Hey guys would you mind giving me and Sinon a minute?" I could see in there eyes how surprised they were that I asked for Sinon instead of Asuna. They all nodded their head and walked out. Asuna took her time going out. Sinon was still standing in the corner.

I smile at her "Come here Sinon." I say and she does very timidly though. When she standstill in front of me I reach towards her and grab her hands. She jumps a little when I do this and I can see her blushing but I also see tears in her eyes. "This was not your fault Sinon. I don't want you to blame yourself for this cause I can tell you are right now."

She starts to cry. And starts to fall to her knees but I grab her shoulder and let her lean on me. "But this was my fault. Its my fault that you're in here Kirito! You almost died protecting me. How can you be willing to die for a murderer?" She asks while crying into my chest.

I put my hands on her cheeks and lift her head so I can look her in the eyes. "I told you in the cave and I'll tell you now how I can hold your hand and die for you. You're not the only one who's taken a life Sinon. You've taken a single life while I've taken three and two of them I don't know their names. We did what we had to to survive." I say as I start to tear up as well. "I will aways protect you. No matter the cost, even if the cost is my life. I won't let anyone cause you harm while I'm around. I promise you this Sinon."

She continues crying into my chest while I hold hold hands and stroke her hair. "Thank you Kirito." She finally says and looks up into my eyes and smiles.

I can't help but smile at her beautiful face even with the tears. "Now how about we let the other in before they think we're doing something we shouldn't?" I say and poke her in the ribs.

She laughs and punches me in the arm playing of course.

I give her another hug which she happily returns. When we separate I can see her blushing pretty badly. I smile at her at how cute she is "I need to stop thinking these things! I have a girlfriend! But still she is cute." I think to myself.

After we invite everyone else in everything passes by in a flash, the week I was in the hospital was quicker than I thought a week could be, thanks to the visits from so many people I guess. What makes me the happiest is that Sinon came to see me everyday until I was released and on the day I was released she was there to walk with me to my house. Oddly enough I never really saw Asuna that much while I was in the hospital. But I never gave it a second thought because I was always talking with Sinon. Maybe my feelings toward Sinon are changing?
