Kirito's POV:

When we got back to the lodge, (YN) just left herself to a room, not letting anyone talk to her, or enter a distance range of her. The fact of losing Yui, did have an effect on all of us, but (YN) really took it to heart.
I wanted to clear my head so I told Max and Liv where I was going and then left, probably going to just walk around the market, or maybe just sit in a park, something that would hopefully clear my head if anything I didn't want their, not that there was much.

Eventually, I just decided in going to the market, walking around the stalls, not buying anything, and barley looking, just listening to the rush of the other avatars' feet walking on the concrete and stone pathways. It was all going well until I saw her... Asuna... the girl who has so far ruined everything. Apparently she saw me too as she came bounding over, smiling, her lips bent up at a slant.
I sighed to myself and tried my best to lose myself in the crowd, but she had her eyes trained on my and was following me everywhere I went.

After about 10 minutes of trying to lose the blonde, I gave up and decided that if she tried to talk to me and ruin my life even more, I would turn the tables into my favour. "Kirito!" She called after me, her voice sounded close and apparently was after she practically leaped on me.
"Get off!" I shouted back to her, doing my best to untangle her arms from my body. I didn't exactly succeed but she got off herself, then clinging to my arm instead.
"I missed you! Where have you been?" She whined, making me flinch slightly. I was trying to rid off the memories of what happened but with her here, it wasn't going to work.
"Just leave me alone." Was my reply, before I ripped my arm out of her grasp and walked off again.

I could still hear her following, her feet hitting the ground behind me. "I can do so much better Kirito, I don't understand why your still with her, it's pathetic!" Asuna jeered. I felt something in my heart break and I turned around instantly, my face set in a cross expression. She was really, really annoying me now.
"Shut up! Just shut up!" I yelled, I clenched my fist and ran as fast as I could back to the lodge. When so got there, Max and Liv apparently had managed to coax (YN) to coming out and the three were talking, and mainly hugging each other. When they heard me come into the room, all their heads turned to me.
My fist were still clenched and I noticed a glimmer of worry and confusion in her eyes. She didn't seem to want to press however and I felt myself calm, not suddenly, but managed to as time passed.

(YN) seemed fine after what had happened earlier, just being her normal self again. However, when Max and Liv had gone to bed, she sat me down in the living room and turned to face me. "Kirito? Are you OK?" She asked, pausing a bit between the two sentences.
"Yes (YN) I'm fine." My tone of voice may have sounded a bit too harsh, as I saw her flinch the slightest bit.
"I'm just worried about you, that's all..." she replied, looking down slightly.
"Just leave me alone (YN)! I can look after myself!" Even I know I sounded way to harsh.

Tears were falling down the (SC) girls face and she stood up, using the back of her hand to wipe the tears from her face. "If-If that's what you want... I will then..." I was confused for a second but when she ran out the door, I was quickly on my feet and running after her as fast as I could. I fell to my knees when I couldn't see her anymore. She was out of my view, she was gone.

And it was all my fault.

I was too harsh, I shouldn't have took it out on her in the first place. She didn't deserve it. She was just looking out for me... and now she was gone. Without a trace. I tried looking on my map but found her pinpoint was blocked. I couldn't find her now, I had to. I couldn't leave Liv and Max by themselves either, (YN) would never forgive me for that either... why... why did I do that.

I managed to drag myself back to the lodge, a few stray tears rolling down my face here and then, though wiping them away quickly.

I want her back...
I need her back...
I love her...

A/N:
OK, let's just get to the point that I have taken AGES to update. I have loads of test coming up and it's hard to find time.
Also, I did write this whole chapter just now in 33 minutes. Sorry in advance if you don't like it that much.
On the brighter side, thank you to sapphire_rose123 for the idea, which I will be continuing in next chapter.

Love ya (ӦvӦ)
