Asuna's POV

"Hmm... It's exactly how I remembered it to be!" I gleefully ran towards the small cottage, where so much of our memories have gathered. How much of Kirito's and my memories have developed. "We've been through so much..." I whispered, placing a hand on the smooth wood of the wall. "Everyone used to gather here, and I made them lots of food. Hmph, I maxed out my cooking skill, it's no wonder. I did have fun trying out new dishes for them." I released a proud smile before swiftly turning to Yui. "Right. We should get prepared for our friends, they should hopefully be coming soon."

Quickly scanning through the list of logged on players (remember, Asuna's an AI), I smiled when I saw the almost too familiar nickname. -Kirito-. Further going down the list, I located -Yuuki-        -Lizbeth- and several other friends. -Sinon- My smile slowly began to fade as I came across the username of the girl I now despise. She had taken everything away from me. I narrowed my eyes, as thoughts of the girl reemerged. What should I do to Sinon? Or rather, Asada Shino. I gave a wild grin whilst glancing out the window, waiting for their arrival. 

Kirito's POV

Following the scent of fresh pancakes (is that a thing XD), I trudged down to the kitchen where the raven-haired girl was. She was placing a plate full of pancakes onto the table, her back faced towards me. My bare feet was silent against the wood as I crept up to her, a playful smile forming around the corner of my mouth. Before Sinon noticed my presence; hopefully she didn't, I blew softly in her ear in hopes of getting a good tease. 

"Eeeek!!" Sinon squealed, a blush overcoming her features as she whipped around, just to find herself face-to-face with me. Letting out a low chuckle, I gently ruffled her hair. "Hey, good morning." Smiling warmly, I wrapped my arms around the petite body of the girl whom I now loved. Sinon sighed, but still returned the hug happily. "Great greeting, by the way. You really scared me, you know." She raised an eyebrow, struggling to keep her smile in. 

------Time skip------

"It's been awhile since we've all gone in ALO together. You think we should ask the group?" We were finished with breakfast and cleaning the dishes. "Sure, I could do with some leveling up," The reply came back, the girl leading me out towards the door. "Great, I'll text them. 2PM should be enough time for everyone to login, right?" I glanced at my watch; we had around 45 minutes left. "Alright, then. Thanks for letting me sleep over. See ya then." Letting out a swift smile, I began to walk away headed towards the house. 

------In ALO(New Aincrad, Floor 22)------

I rested my head against an old wisteria some distance away from the Log House, the destination we'd decided to meet at. First to log in was Leafa, followed by Silica, Lizbeth then Klein. "It's been awhile," Leafa said mid-stretch, loosening up her shoulders. "And I'm totally ready for a good battle! Gotta kick ass!" There Lizbeth went, then continued to talk with Silica about something I wasn't interested in. About the beauty of crafting weapons with SSR tier metal, or something. I kept my eyes closed, still leaning against the bark. We still needed to wait for Agil, Yuuki and Sinon. 

Sinon and Yuuki arrived moments later, followed by Agil after several minutes. "Right, since we haven't connected in-game altogether in awhile, let's hang in the Log House for Yui to search up for events going on. We could start from there." I suggested, before nodding a greeting to Sinon. I headed towards her, before a thought came across my mind. To think of it, I haven't seen Yui for sometime now. I wonder what happened. Shrugging the thought off, I leaned towards Sinon, a devious smile tugging at the corner of my lips. 

Her aqua-blue colored tail was swaying next to me, and I reached out, grasping the fluffy mass. "Eeeek!!!" The girl squealed for the second time of the day, her body stiffened in shock. "Kirito!" Sinon swiveled around, blushing. Chuckling at the now-baffled-archer, I quickly took off in mock-fear towards the new-ALO cottage, the Log House. "I'll race y'all. Last one gets to sit out during battle!" Hearing several cries of complaint behind me, I smirked. This was a good way to get everyone's spirits up. I reached the familiar doors of the Log house, facing the others once I'd arrived. I could see the others struggling to catch up, and a particular red-faced Cait Sith flying full speed towards me. "You little...! Come back here! I'll get you back for pulling on my tail!" She was shouting, a rare feat to be shown on the easy-going girl. 

The archer gained speed fast, and was unable to stop her self before crashing into me. "W-Woah!" We fell against the door of the Log House, the entrance opening in the process. Landing in a heap of jumbled limbs, armor and weapons, we groaned. Our pain sensors weren't set on a very high level, but it was still uncomfortable, falling. Rapidly blinking, I looked around. There was something preventing me from getting up. Coming to realization, I blushed. 

Sinon's head was on my stomach, forehead faced down. Both my legs were ajar, Sinon placed in between them. One of her hands were on my inner thigh, the other on my chest. She was groaning as well, struggling to comprehend what had happened. "C-crap. Um, Sinon..." I trailed off, realizing once again how awkward of a position we were in. 

I could hear my friends laughing outside the door. Klein seemed to be wheezing, as I heard his voice. "Man, you get all them girls don't you Kirito! A girl magnet, that's what you are." The annoying Salamander had finished talking; someone had punched him. It sounded like Lizbeth from their voice. I was too busy trying to think of a way to get out of this situation. The aqua-haired archer was getting redder by the second, and I wasn't too far off. "U-um. Haha... Hey Sinon. You okay there?" Grinning awkwardly, I slowly disentangled myself from the blushing Cait Sith. I vaguely remembered Sinon replying, but a quiet gasp caught my attention from within the cottage. 


     It's kind of amusing how the 'old me' didn't think of Googling SAO up and just gather up information on it. I've managed to get the characters' real names right. The reason why I didn't mention Agil's real name(Andrew Gilbert Mills) is because I thought Kirito wouldn't call Agil as Andrew... (or Mills). It just doesn't seem right. 

Quick Question: Should I keep Sinon's name to Shino irl, or just Sinon? I've realized I've been keeping it inconstant. 

I'm pretty proud at how much I've written; it's definitely an improve from the past chapters. I don't think I'll rewrite this, though. I working on the next two chapters, and it's becoming pretty interesting. Watch out for grammar / spelling / awkward sentence mistakes on this chapter. I've been working on this throughout the span of several days, (some parts written somewhere around 2AM). Comment, and I'll (hopefully) fix it. 

And again, the author's note is getting super long.
