The Crimson Hunter. SAO X Reader. [DRAFT].

●Chapter 1: A Simple Life.

You were sitting under an oak tree. Your (H/C1) hair flowing in the wind along with your eyes closed, some of the school kids passing by would think you were sleeping but you weren't, you were just in your own mind, and you weren't paying attention to anything, not the sounds of birds chirping or the feeling of the grass on your hands. It was just you and your thoughts. And in this particular case you had a question in mind, it's been in your mind for a while now and it's actually started to annoy you, the one question you can't find an answer for:

Is the real world worth it?

You were interrupted by your question nagging you when you felt a poke on your left cheek, you opened your (E/C1) eyes to see who had done it. You turned your head to see your little brother Shoji squating down staring at you. He looked similar to you, He had the same type of hair as well as colour, he also happend to have the same birth mark going across your nose. But other than that he was six years younger with freckles dotting his cheeks under his blue eyes and at a shorter height of at least 2 heads.

"Wakey-Wakey sleepy head, c'mon we need to get home." He said putting a bit of skip in his stance. You slowly got up, picking up your book bag as well. "Alright pipsqueak hold your horses." You replied in a teasing tone. You knew that he doesn't like you calling him that.

"Hey! Who are you calling a pipsqueak?!" He punched your arm lightly and started walking to the school gate. "Hurry up will ya? We don't have all day." You chuckled at what he said and walked to catch up with him.

Shoji was practically skipping along the road as you were walking home. "You seem a bit more energetic than usual today, what's going on?" You ask your little brother. He turned to look at you with an expression of surprise, shock and excitement all in one. "How are YOU not excited, Sword Art Online comes out tommorow remember?!?". "Oh yeah,... that, sorry I must have forgotten." You apologize to him. You then remembered about that new VRMMORPG coming out. You were honestly surprised yourself that you had forgotten about it, since it was all over town with posters and was the big talk around school.

"You are such an airhead! How can you not notice such a big thing!?" Shoji asked. You quickly replied with:"Well I'm surprised you managed to see the poster with how short you are and all...". " HEY!! I.Am.Not.Short!" He tried punch you but you simply blocked it. "Okay okay, whatever you say short stuff." He made a cute pout in anger, but you pat his head in apology, and continue to walk home.

You open the door to your house, and Shoji dashes past you. "Hey Mom, we're home." You call out. Then a women walks out of a room. She was quite pretty, at and age of 39 with Brown hair in a ponytail with slight traces of graying, and blue orbs that was inherited by Shoji., and a bit of a short height but still taller than her youngest son. "Hi Mama!" Shoji shouts as he runs and hugs her. "Well hello my little noodle, how was school today?". She asks. You couldn't help but chuckle at the cute nickname your mother gave him.

"It was awesome! We had three periods off since Ms. Himikaru was sick." He said still holding on. You couldn't help but smile at how happy he was about not doing school for three hours straight.

"Oh really? Well you can tell me all about it, but after you see what's in your room first." Shoji's eyes widened and his smile was so big you thought it would come off. He let go of the women and ran upstairs so fast he was almost a blur. The small women laughed a little and turned to face you. "And how was your day Y/N?". She asked with a smile.
