The New Beginning (Kirito x Yuuki)

There to Help {2}

Kirito

I woke up to have the sun light bleach my eyes. I looked up to the clock that is hanging on the wall to my right. It shows 8 o'clock. I decided to get up and wash my face. But when i was about to do that, i can feel something tugging my left arm, pulling me back to bed. When i looked to my left, i saw Yuuki still asleep with both of her arm hugging my left arm. I smiled at her. I've already gotten use to this, and i really don't mind at all. Just then, i heard a knock at the door. "Kirito? Yuuki? Are you awake?" I think that was Silica. Crap, this is an awkward spot! I tried to pull my arm out, but she's quite strong. Then the door opened. "Kirito? Yuu-" Silica just stood there and saw both me and Yuuki on the same bed, and Yuuki is hugging my arm. "Sorry to disturb you two!" Silica screamed and closed the door really fast. That was embarrassing. Yuuki finally woke up. "Morning Kirito." She said sleepily. We both got ready for the day and we went to the teleport gate along side Silica with an awkward feeling. We teleported to the hill of memories at floor 47. It's just like how i remember. There was flower everywhere. Silica ran around looking at flowers. I looked back at Yuuki to see her face really red.

Yuuki

There's so many couples here! It makes me and Kirito looked like one. "Yuuki, are you alright?" Kirito asked me. "Yes yes, i'm fine." I said quickly. We all made our way towards where the flower was. There was this flower monsters that showed up. Kirito took care of them with a swift slash. Then another one appeared behind us and grabbed Silica by the feet. It lifted her up in the air, and she's flailing her arm everywhere. "AHH Kirito, help me! But don't look at me." "That's, going to be hard..." "Enough!" Silica then sliced one of it's leaf arm thing and stabbed it's head and it disappeared. "Did.. did you see anything?" Silica asked. "Uhm.. nothing in particular..." Kirito said. I face palmed. Ohh Kirito... We continued our way to the flower. "Kirito, is it alright if i ask you about your sister?" Silica asked. "Why'd you want to know?" "Well, you said that i looked like your sister. I know it's not polite but, what's your sister's like?" "I'm also pretty curious." I added. "Well, i call her my little sister, but she's actually my cousin." Me and Silica looked at Kirito surprised. He told me his relationship with his cousin, and the reason why he avoided her. He said he quit Kendo training and his grandpa got mad at him, but his cousin stood up and said that she will train hard for both her and Kirito. "I wouldn't doubt it if she hates me. And i felt guilty for putting her through that. And maybe that's why i wanted to help you, it makes me feel like i'm paying her back." "If you don't mind me saying, i don't think that she hated you at all. She wouldn't work so hard if she hated you." Silica said. "She's right, Kirito. Maybe she even liked Kendo." I added. "There you two go again, making me feel better. Maybe you two are right, god i hope so." I smiled. "Okay then, i'm going to do my best to." Silica said and continued forward. Then giant tentacles suddenly spawned under her and picked her up. "EEP, HELP ME!" Kirito quickly sliced it down and i caught her.

We continued our way. We finally made it to the flower. There was a pedestal in front of us. Silica got closer to it and a flower appeared on top of the pedestal. "Go ahead, pick it up." I said. Silica picked the flower and was very happy. "You sure that this will bring Pina back to life?" She asked. "Yeah, i'm sure, but let's revive her back at town, there are a lot of strong monsters around here." Yuuki said. We were walking back to the teleport gate with the flower. When we were walking across a bridge, i felt a presence nearby. I immediately stopped walking, which cause the rest to stop walking as well. "Who ever is out there, come out." I said out loud. Then someone came out behind a tree, it was Rosalia. I knew it, Yuuki was right. "Wow. Your sensing skill must be really high to notice me behind that tree. Ohh, it looks like you were successful on getting your hand on the flower, congratulation. Now hand it over before you get hurt." "No one is handing anything over Rosalia, not to you, or the orange guild, OR should i say [Titans Hand]. Your their leader right?" "Nice." "But, Rosalias cursors green." Silica said. "It's an easy trick. The green player finds their victim, then they lure them to the orange player for the ambush." Yuuki said behind me. "That was one of your pals last night, eavesdropping on us, wasn't it?" "Then, the reason you were in that party with me and the others was to..." "That's right, i was observing their strength, and those beautiful money." She licked her lips seductively. "If you knew that we were coming, than why did you bring her here? Are you dumb or something?" "Nope, your wrong big time. You see we've been looking all over for you Rosalia." "What are you talking about?" Yuuki explained what happened 10 days ago with the leader of a guild telling everyone to avenge his dead friends. "So what if we kill here, there's no proof that dying here means your dead IRL. Anyway, it's you start worrying about your self." She snaps her finger and a bunch of people came out behind the trees carrying weapons. "Uhm.. Kirito, Yuuki, there's too many of them, we need to get out of here." Silica said worried. "No need, we can handle this. You should stay back and keep your guards up, and get your crystal ready if things doesn't go as plan. Yuuki, you ready for this?" "I've been waiting for this!" Yuuki said with a grin. "Alright, let's go." We both got our weapons ready in hand. We walked closer to them. "Kirito? Yuuki?" One guy said in surprised. "Dressed in black and the other one in purple, both one handed sword, no shields. Holy crap, it's them! It's the Black and Purple duos! Rosalia, that guy, he's the beater who fought solo on the front line, and that girl with him is just as skilled. They both are with the assault team!" Me and Yuuki grinned after hearing that. "Why would someone from the assault team be way down here. Go on, take them out, and take everything they own." We both got in a stance and was ready to fight all of them. "You got my back right, Yuuki?" "Of course, and you better get mine." They all charge a sword skill and lunges towards us. Three people got in front of us, and three got behind. All three of them tried to slice me, but i parried all of them with three swift slash. "What!" One of them said. I dash behind them hit all of them in the head, which stunned them. I tried not to damage them so my cursor won't turn orange. "That took care of that." I looked at Yuuki and saw her knocking the rest three. "All done here Kirito." I walked up to Yuuki and fist bumped her. Then one more person appeared behind her and was about to attack Yuuki. "Watch out!" It hit Yuuki in the back and her health bar went down a little because of the level different, but even so, anger filled within me. He was about to attack me, but i hit his sword so hard that it shattered into pieces. I grabbed him by the collar and point my sword towards his face. "If you ever do that to her again, your head will be on my shelf." I said with anger. I let go of him and he crumbled down in fear. I knelt down next to Yuuki. "You okay Yuuki? I'm sorry i didn't watch your back." I said feeling sad. "It's okay Kirito, beside my health didn't really go down to much, just a bit." She said reassuring. I stood up. "This battle is pointless, Rosalia. Face it, you lost." I took out a teleport crystal and showed it to everyone. "My client had spent his fortune on making this warp crystal, and he'll get his money worth. It's been set to the coordinate of the prison, and i'm sending all of you bastards there!" I said out loud. "Well my cursors green, and if you hurt me, you'll turn orange and..." I cut her off and dashed in front of her, putting my sword near her neck. "I'm a solo player with Yuuki, and i don't care what people think. I'm sure Yuuki wouldn't mind me being orange for a couple of days." She dropped her weapon in defeat. I looked back to see everyone surprised and Yuuki smiling at me. I tied them all up together in one spot.

Yuuki

"Kirito is so strong, isn't he?" Silica said to me while Kirito is tying them all up. "Yeah, he is." If you ever do that to her again, your head will be on my shelf. I blushed remembering what he said to defend me. "Alright, i'm going to send them all to prison. I'll meet you back at the inn, look after Silica alright, Yuuki?" "Yeah, be safe alright." He took out the teleport crystal and teleported to the prison. "Come on Silica, let's go back to the inn." She nodded and we made our way back to the teleport gate. "Uhm.. Yuuki, can i ask you a question?" "Sure, what is it?" "How do you and Kirito met?" "Ohh, well uhm. We first met when this death game was announced. I went through villages doing quest, trying to get a head start. When i was booking an inn, i met Kirito. He comforted me when i was having doubt that i'm not going to escape this death game. His words gave me strength, and is what kept me going. We kept doing quest together, and getting stronger together. We formed a party for the first floor boss raid. We did well, he even got the last hit bonus on the boss." "Really, amazing!" "Yeah, he is amazing, sometimes i couldn't even keep up with his speed. But after the boss, he was founded out that he's..." I looked at Silica. "Don't tell anyone about this alright? He has been through enough of this." Silica looked confused, but nodded. "He is one of the beta testers." Silica looked surprised. "Everyone then started to think that there are other beta testers there. But then, he did something to take the blame of other beta testers. And that is when we separate. I was sad that i can't be by his again, but i know that we will meet again. And we sure did, and after that i decided that i would follow him where ever he goes, well not literally. I would just stick by his side when we go on quest or something." "Oh, so that's how you two met. What about what that guy said, Black and Purple duos i think, is that your title?" "Hmm.. That was a title that was given for both me and Kirito, since we always stick together. My personal title is [Zekken], i have no idea what it means, but it sounded cool. Kirito's personal title is [The Black Swordsman], because he is always in black i guess." We finally reached the teleport gate and we teleported back to the town where our inn is. We reached the inn, and we founded Kirito waiting in our room looking at his inventory. "Took you long enough to get back." I just put my tongue out. "Alright, ready to revive your friend?" Kirito asked. "Yeah, let's do it." Silica used the flower on Pina and it did bring it back to life. Silica cheered happily. Kirito and i just stood back smiling. "Thank you so much Kirito, Yuuki. How can i ever repay you?" "Just be careful next time." She nodded. "Hey Yuuki, we need to get back to the front line." Kirito said behind me. I nodded and walked up to Silica. "Silica, we need to go, please take care now." I said and we said our goodbyes.

We left and teleported to floor 50 and looked for an inn since it was night time. We finally booked an inn and we went to our room. Of course, i booked mine with him, because i like his company. We got ready for bed and was now about to sleep. "This was a long day, wasn't it?" Kirito said. "Yeah, glad we can help her. So, what happened at the prison?" "Just how'd you expect it to go. I saw the look on their faces, it was distorted. One guy even started crying." I laughed a little. "Oh yeah, since when did we get the title Black and Purple duos?" "While i was at the prison, i bumped in to Argo and i asked about that. Turns out one guy from the front line made this title, then it started to spread to everyone. I don't really mind the title, i think it's cool." "I also think it's cool." I then remembered something. If you ever do that to her again, your head will be on my shelf. I blushed deep red. I got closer to Kirito and i put my head on his chest. "Uhm.. Yuuki?" "Thank you Kirito, for defending me back there. I'm glad that i could come with you." Kirito started to blush. "It's alright Yuuki, i'm here for you when you need me." He put his hand on my head. I smiled and went to sleep.
