Asuna and Kirito's AfterStory Vol. 2

Search Of His Life

Next thing Kazuto knew, Faith was in the hospital. She had patches all over her body and a cast over her wrist. Her eyes were closed like she was in a coma, her breathing was light but Kazuto knew she was going to pull through.

The doctor and Kazuto were standing in the hallway. "She'll be in the hospital for a while, the only thing we can do is let her rest." The doctor said as he looked at his clipboard.

"Will she wake up soon?" He asked nervously.

"She's probably in complete shock from what happened. She won't wake up for awhile." The doctor replied.

Kazuto thanked him and the doctor walked away, Kazuto walked back into Faith's room and saw Hisaya kneeling over the bedside with her hands placed over Faith's good hand.

"Your more worried about her than I am." Kazuto teased.

Hisayas eyes didn't leave Faith. "I don't know why but I feel like I need to stick by her side."

"Did you used to like children?" Her asked.

She shook her head. "I didn't like children as much as most people but once I met Faith, my whole world changed."

Kazuto smiled.

"Sorry, we better get going. This room has high security so I doubt anyone will try to break in."

Kazuto nodded. "Let's go!"

They hopped on a plane and flew to Russia, first time for Kazuto. There were parks everywhere, streets were filled will cars, and homes that were lively throughout the town.

"How are we going to find the base in here?" Kazuto asked admiring all the unique buildings from the taxi window.

"We believe that they are hiding in an abandoned area, perfect for illegal actions and well hidden."

"We need to search all the abandoned areas!" Kazuto said excitedly.

Kikuoka nodded. "I have a better idea though, what if we go to bars and ease drop on conversation. We'll get more information and save more time."

Kazuto nodded in agreement. "I haven't been to a bar since Kuroyukihime was born. I honestly forgot what it was like."

Kikouka smiled. "Me too, bars are not my strong suit so I never went to them."

The taxi pulled over to the side, they got out and found themselves in the middle of thug territory. Big tough guys roamed the streets, a bar was located on every block, you could smell the drugs in the alleyways.

"This place is a disaster." Kikouka said walking down the street.

"You said it, since there's a bars on every block it'll be easier for us to find information."

"Let's start in here." He said pointing to a bar they nearly walked past.

The windows were dark, you could barely see the lights through the window, TVs, glass, and chatting could be heard from inside.

Kazuto gulped. "O-Okay."

They walk into the bar, people with hangovers were everywhere you looked. People in the back were throwing punches and people were cheering over the games on the TV.

"I wonder how many relationships end in here." Kazuto said quietly.

"I bet 85% of the men here cheated on their wives." Kikuoka said as he sat down at the bar.

Kazuto's face turned sour, the idea disgusted him that men would be that unloyal. The bar manager walked over to them and set a menu down in front of them.
