The New Beginning (Kirito x Yuuki)

There to Help {1}

Yuuki

Today is February 23rd 2024. After that night when i slept with Kirito, i asked him if i can come with since i don't really know where i'm going, and he said yes. We're on the 35th floor, roaming through the forest looking for monsters to slay and someone. Just when it was about to become night time, around 7 o'clock, i heard someone screamed. "Kirito!" I looked at Kirito, he nodded and we went to where the source of that scream.

Kirito

I heard a scream somewhere. "Kirito!" Yuuki said. I nodded and instantly went to where that scream was. I came across 3 apes ganging up on a girl who is holding on to something. "Yuuki, take care those two, i'll deal with that one!" "Got it!" I ran pass the two apes that i assign Yuuki to take care of and head towards the one near the little girl. I quickly slice the ape from it's back and it disappeared into triangle particles. I looked down to see a little girl crying. "Pina... Don't leave.. me all alone here." She grabbed something that looked like a feather. "What's that feather?" I asked her. "It's Pina, my best friend." She said while sobbing. "Your one of those beast tamer aren't you? I'm sorry, if i got here sooner, i could've saved your friend." I said feeling bad. "No... It's my fault. I was stupid for thinking i could make it through the forest on my own." She looked back at me with tear stained eyes. "Thank you for saving me, you did what you could." I looked back to see Yuuki finished off the two apes. She went beside me and asked me what's wrong. I explained to her about the situation. She gasped and felt bad for not coming here sooner. "That feather, check to see if there's an item name attach to it." I said. She quickly tapped the feather and a dialog box came out saying [Pina's Heart]. She started to cry even more. "Hey hey, don't cry, that means that Pina's hearts still here. Which means there is a chance to revive it." Yuuki said behind me. "Really?" "Yep that's right. On the south side of floor 47, there is field called the hill of memory's. At the top there is a flower that can revive familiars." "Floor 47 huh.." "We could offer you to go get it, all you need is to pay for the trip. But the thing is, the flower won't bloom unless the familiar's masters there." I added. "Thank you so much for telling me. If i work hard enough than maybe someday i could.." "Sure, but the time limit is 3 days to revive it." I cut her off. "What? No way.. I'm sorry Pina, it's all my fault." I looked back towards Yuuki. "So, do you want to help her?" I asked her. "Well of course! We can't just leave her here with her dead friend. That's rude." "Yeah i guess it is. Oh yeah, give her that armor that you got yesterday, the red one, that should boost her defense up." "Alright." We both opened up our menus. "Hey, little girl, you have three days, that's plenty of time for us."

Silica

Both of them started opening there menus. "Hey, little girl, you have three days, that's plenty of time for us." Two windows popped up in front of me for a some sort of trade offer. "Take this equipment from me and Yuuki. It should boost you up five or six level. And if me and Yuuki tag along, everything should be fine." I saw both of the window that pooped up showing a lot of item such as a dagger, armors, and EXP pots. "But, why would you two do all this for me?" I asked him and he seems nervous. And then the girl i believe names Yuuki popped her head next to his face. "Because we think that it's the right thing to do. Right Kirito?" She said with a smile. "Well yeah.. But there's something else. I'll tell you, but only if you promise not to laugh." Me and Yuuki both looked at him confused. "It's because you looked like my little sister..." Yuuki then started laughing and i just giggled. Kirito looked away in embarrassment. "I'm sorry. This may not be enough to pay you back but.." "No no, it's ok. Beside it works with why we're here. We'll be helping each other out." "Ok then. My name's Silica." "My name's Kirito, and this is Yuuki. I guess we'll be working together for a while." He gave me his hand and i shook it. I then looked looked at Yuuki and saw her glaring at me with an annoyed expressions.

We went to a nearby village looking for some food and an inn. While we were walking, i noticed how close Kirito and Yuuki are. They were both chatting and laughing like a couple. Are they a couple? "Hey look, it's Silica!" Someone said behind me. All three of us turned around to see two guys from before. "It took you long enough to get back, we were getting worried." "Hey you wanne team up again?" "Uhm.. Uhh.. It's nice of you to offer but uh.." I looked at Kirito and hugged his hand. "Sorry, but i already agreed to be in a party with them so.." They both glared at Kirito. "Okay. Later. Bye" I quickly said and walked off with Kirito. "Didn't know you had fans." Kirito said. "No, it's not like that. They don't really take me seriously." We continued our chat, but i'm having this feeling someone is watching me.

Yuuki

Why is Silica clinging onto Kirito!? And why am i getting really upset? I finally caught up to them. "Hey Kirito, do you live around here?" Silica asked Kirito. "I'm on floor 50. It's kind of far so i was hoping to get a room tonight." "Oh, what about you Yuuki?" "I follow where ever Kirito goes, so technically i'm on floor 50 with Kirito." "Oh, ok then. Well in that case, let me treat you two to some cheese cake, it's really good here." "Wow, if it isn't Silica. You made it out of the forest alive, good for you." I went up behind Kirito. "Kirito, i think this is the person that we're looking for." I whispered behind him. "Yeah, i think your right." After those encounters, we went to an inn to order some food and book a room. I sat down next to Kirito, and Silica sat down in front of us. "Why does she have to be so mean?" Silica asked looking down. Me and Kirito both looked at each other. "Is Sword Art Online your first MMO?" He asker her. "Yeah." "Well, a lot of peoples personalities change when they play games online. And some people actually liked playing the bad guys. You see how our cursors are green. If you committed a crime, your cursor's gonna turn orange. And then there are the red players, also known as player killers or PKers. They are all about murder." Silica looked shocked. "They kill other players?" "Yeah, there's this one particular guild where their main objective is to murder other players. They are the laughing coffin. Kirito and i ones encountered with them around floor 47. We managed to not get in trouble." I said. "Yeah, those people are dangerous. In a normal game, playing as the bad guy isn't so bad. There are some laugh in it and it's cool. But... This isn't a normal game. No, it's definitely NOT game." He said then clutched his drink with pure anger. I was getting worried, so i put my hand on his. "Kirito, it's alright. We can get through this, together." I said with a smile. "Yeah Kirito, and i don't think your a bad person, i think your really kind." Silica said. "Looks like you both cheered me up instead, thank you." He said which made me blush deep red. When i looked at Silica, she was looking down with steam coming out of her head.

We all went to our rooms. I've book my room with Kiritos because i'm used to sleeping with him. I was sitting on the bed while Kirito was checking his inventory. He closed his inventory window and looked at me. "Hey Yuuki, let's go to silica so we can plan for tomorrow quest." Kirito said. I was getting really sleepy told Kirito that i'd rather stay here. He understood and was about to go out the door. Wait, Kirito and Silica will be alone together. That means... I grabbed Kiritos hand. He looked at me confused. "Uhm.. uhh. I decided that i would come with you. I don't really feel tired anymore." Kirito just nodded and we went to Silicas room. We were explaining to Silica about tomorrows plan. Kirito then stopped for some reason. "Kirito? You oka-" I then heard something at the door, it sounded like someone was eave dropping. "Yuuki!" Kirito said slightly loud. I quickly slam opened the door. "WHO'S THERE!?" There was no one, but i saw someone ran away behind a wall. I went back to Kirito. "Who was it?" Kirito asked. "Dunno, but there was someone, he ran away behind a wall." "Who was that?" Silica asked. "An eave dropper." I replied. "But, you can't do that unless your listening skill are really high." "Yeah, but that's the point. Who ever that is, it has a high listening skill." We continued our planning for tomorrow. We both went back to our rooms after the planning. We both got ready and got on the bed preparing to sleep. "Kirito." "Yeah?" "I have a feeling that she will be there tomorrow." "Who, Rosalia?" "Yeah, but it's just a hunch." "Well if that happens, we will take her and her guild down. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she's in jail." I giggled a little. "Well, we shouldn't worry about tomorrow. Let's get some rest, it's already past 11." "Alright, and don't you go out hunting in the middle of the night like back then." I said recalling last time that happened. "Don't worry, i won't. Good night, Yuuki." "Night, Kirito." We both went to sleep peacefully.
