Kirito x Reader

Chapter 15

A/N
Hey guys! I will say that this chapter gets quite sad but it's nothing too dramatic. Also thank you Wolf_lover2303 for the amazing new cover. Love it 🙃 Hope you enjoy!

(YN)'s POV:

Kirito, being Kirito, jumped down after Liz and I bit my lip. 'He's an idiot, he's knows that right?' I asked myself and turned around to get Max and Liv so I could think of a way to get to them, safely in the very least. "What happened?" Max asked cautiously.
"Make sure to tell Kirito that he's stupid when you see him, OK?" I said to the both of them. They nodded, confused on my request. "I trust you two to go and find Klein, promise me, OK?" I explained leaving out the details on why I was leaving them.
"Why are you leaving us mommy?" Liv asked innocently.
"Erm... I just have a very important job to do and I need you two to be safe, make sure you go straight there." I said to them, kindly demanding them to listen to me. I turned to Max and said to him, "Look after your sister, I'll be back as soon as I can OK?"
"Yeah, I'll make sure we both get there." Max replied and I smiled.
"I love you both now go, I'll find you soon." I smiled slightly and ushered them to the teleport pads.
"Teleport floor: 25!" They both shouted in unison and in a flash of bright blue light, they were gone...

'Now then, what do I do?' I asked myself. Jumping seemed the quickest way but then it could end my life, drop my HP to 0%. 'Well I guess there isn't any other choice at this moment of time...' I sighed heavily and jumped. I braced for the impact... It never came. Instead there warm arms and then the sound of someone else falling to the ground. My eyes were still closed and as I opened them, I saw my onyx haired friend.
"You trying to kill yourself?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Not really, I wasn't considering that option..." I trailed off, smiling nervously.
"Still reckless I see." He said smirking and I but my lip.
"Yeah... Unfortunately..." I replied blushing slightly, realising what position we were in. "Um... You can let me go now you know..." I said and started to try and push myself out of his clutch, though he didn't let go, instead tightening his grip.
"Maybe not, I'll keep like this for a little longer." He was still smirking but we were interrupted by someone clearing their throat,
"Ahem!" It was Lizbeth, she appeared behind Kirito and he instantly let me go, letting me stand up, enabling me to freely move around.

Kirito's POV:

(YN) really is reckless. She just jumped down like it was nothing, though she was lucky. "What do we do now?" Asked Liz.
"I guess we wait till morning..." (YN) sighed and but her lip gently.
"Where are Max and Liv?" I asked worried. Had she left them up there? No, she wouldn't do that, who knows how long we could be stuck down here.
"Oh yeah, I sent them to Klein, I said I'll get them when we get out of here." (YN) replied smiling.
"Oh, OK."
"Right what do we do? I'm starving!" Complained Lizbeth.
"We do something about it, I'll cook, I don't trust Kirito not to do it right." (YN) said smirking and set to work, looking through her inventory.
'I guess it's not that bad, (YN)'s cooking was awesome and she could practically make anything at this point.
"OK, I'm gonna just do sandwiches, that's all I have the stuff for." She smiled apologetically though neither Lizbeth or myself complained, it was all we had and we were all hungry, not having the opportunity for anything else would have been too hard to cope with.

(YN) had made sandwiches, meat and some sort of mint had been put inside the two slices of bread. I bit into it cautiously. "Is it alright, I mean it's not my best..." (YN) trailed of and Lizbeth and I both objected, claiming that the food was delectable, enough for us. "OK, OK! If you insist!" She carried on after the pinkettes and I objections. After a while it started snowing even worse than it already was, pouring from the virtual clouds that were scattered around the sky, all a dark grey colour. The two girls were cold, freezing even, luckily though we all had a sleeping bag in our inventory, invade if emergencies, exactly like this one for example. We managed to build a small fire, and when I say 'small fire', I mean small fire. It was barely enough but we coped, managing to get close enough to it to feel it's heat radiating onto us.

It was silent for quite a while, everyone just thinking to themselves. The two females were beside me, myself being in the middle of the group of three. I was facing (YN) who was staring up at the sky, her (FC) sleeping bag pulled up to her chin and wrapped tightly around her. I reached my hand out towards her and saw her look at me, turning her head slightly so her body was facing me. "What you thinking about?" I asked her tentatively.
"Not much, just wondering if Max and Liv got to Klein safely..." She said, her (EC) looking into my grey ones.
"Don't worry, they will have, both of them, nothing will happen to them." I squeezed her hand as I spoke to her, trying to sooth her worries. Soft snores nearby indicated that Liz had fallen asleep behind my back, signalling she wasn't able to hear what we were talking about. "Come here." I said to her indicating for her to move closer, in which she did, though sliding into my red sleeping bag alongside me. We were both silent and I soon heard slower breathing coming from (YN) and saw she was asleep, holding onto me like her favourite teddy bear. I kissed her forehead and saw her smile in her sleep. "I love you (YN)."

The next morning everyone was awake before 10:0 and ready to find a way out this place. We had found the jewels earlier too, the whole hole made of the substance. Lizbeth made sure to get enough of it to last her a while so she might never have to come here ever again, with me especially. She didn't mind (YN), with her silent and not talking to the hyper girl about anything that could offend her. "I think I have an idea." (YN) murmured as she looked up the jewelled hole.
"What would that be?" Liz asked getting impatient.
"Well we could use our skills and-" (YN) started.
"If you haven't noticed, I haven't got as high skills and stats as you two." Lizbeth interjected.
"One of us can take you." I said in the middle of the girls convocation.
"(YN) is taking me, I don't desire to be with you any longer than I already have." The pinkette said and walked over to (YN), standing next to her inspecting like.
"Fine, I guess I can take us both." (YN) sighed.

We reached the top after a while, resorting to have to ride the dragon to the top of its 'nest'. As we reached the top, (YN) raced over to the teleport pads and started fuming her fingers to open her inventory. "What you looking for?" I asked her.
"Teleport crystals. I promised Max and Liv I'd get to them as soon as I got you." She finally found a blue teleport crystal, pulling it out her pocket, Liz and myself going after her before she shouted, "Floor 25!" And all of us disappeared in a flash of blue light.

We reached the floor in under half a second. "Liz? Can we come and get the swords in a bit, I need to see Max and Olivia and see if their OK!" (YN) said to Lizbeth and before she could reply, she grabbed my hand and ran off to where Klein's guild was located. We ran for a while and saw the building that I took the other three to when it was our first guild meeting, though it was allocated on a new floor. (YN) let go of my hand and ran to the door, knocking frantically. After a few minutes the door opened, revealing Klein who looked unsure of what to say and was biting his lip. "Where are they!" She asked frantically and looked at Klein nervously.
"Yeah..." He sounded sceptical and I could tell instantly something was up.
"Bring them here, please..." She sounded weak yet desperate.
"Yeah... Come here..." He was cautious on on his words and spoke after a while. Max appeared slowly and he looked like he had been crying. His eyes were red.
"Max... Where's Liv?" (YN) said, her voice even weaker than before.
"I... I'm sorry... We were attacked and she was taken... I couldn't protect her... She's gone... Max started crying and clung onto (YN)'s (FC) shirt.
"No! No... She's not gone..." Tears spilled down (YN)'s (ST) skin. My steel eyes were wide, and my heart felt sore, the pain from seeing (YN) like this. I walked over to her and knelt beside her. Max was in her embrace and I wrapped my arms around the both of them. (YN)'s quiet crying and Max's sniffling were heard in the otherwise silent landscape, even Klein, the usually upbeat man I knew was silent, looking at us all on the doorstep of his guild.
"We'll get her back... We'll find her again and nothing will happen to her, OK?" I said, trying to be serious but under this circumstance, it was hard to make my voice not crack.

After about half an hour, we were all mainly calmed down, except (YN). She wasn't talking to anyone and keeping to herself. When we had got to the inn, she locked herself in on of the two bedrooms and I could here her crying and saying it was all her fault. The thing was that it was easy to see she really did care for them, if she hadn't they wouldn't be here with us now at this time. I wanted to go in there, comfort her and tell her not to blame herself, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, if she has locked herself in there she probably wants some privacy and sometime to get it out her system, leaving Max and myself to go to the room across the hall from the one (YN) had locked herself in.
