The New Beginning (Kirito x Yuuki)

Always by Your Side

Kirito

I'm sitting on a chair inside one of the changing room sighing in defeat after i wore the guild themed outfit while being hit in the back rapidly by Yuuki. "Kirito you idiot! Why did you accept the duel?" "It is my punishment, i had to." She started pouting which looks really cute. "Anyway, sorry for losing the duel." I said looking down. I then felt hands wrap around my neck. "Just promise me to stay safe." I indulge my self in her embrace. We both left the guild place and walked back home together. While we were walking, i keep getting weird looks from people more than usual. It's probably the clothe... We made it back home, tidy things up and went to bed.

Next Day

"I got to train?" I was sitting in the guild place with Yuuki when someone came and told me that i got to train. "Yep. You, me, and one other guy are going to form a party, and then we're all going to clear the dungeon on this floor." "Hang on a second, Kirito and i are already in a party!" Yuuki suddenly retorted. "Well i'm sorry ma'am, but we can't do anything about it. Beside, we can't ignore the rules. If the kid is joining us, then it is my job as commander of the front line to take the kid out and evaluate his skills." "But he doesn't need an evaluation, he is stronger than you." I sighed of how this is going. "Well, can i at least come with?" She asked desperately. "I'm sorry ma'am, but this party is already arranged beforehand. Kid, in thirty minute i'd like to see you at the western, HUURAAH!" He cheered while doing an air pump. He left afterwards. I heard a huge sigh beside me. I looked at Yuuki, she looks sad while looking down. I got up and pat her head. "What's wrong Yuuki?" "I... I'm just, not comfortable when you're away." "I'm sorry that this had to happen. If i had a choice, we'd probably be having lunch together at our house. Can you wait for me here?" She looked up at me, then nodded. "When you get back, let's have dinner together, okay?" Her frown then perked up a little. At least i got Yuuki to smile a bit. She's been like this ever since i lost that duel.

30 minute later

I walked towards the destination. I saw the guy waiving at me at the gate. He then grabbed someone from the side. The person got pulled so i can see him, but something seems off. "You got to be kidding me..." The guy that got pulled was the guy who dueled Yuuki. "Are you serious? Since when are you part of this guild?" I asked annoyed. "Yep. He has a good position in the guild from all of his hard work. I thought that now is the perfect time than any. Look at it this way, now you two can bury the hatchet, GAHAHAHA!" I looked at him weirdly. This guy suddenly came up in front of my. "Uhhh... About that time, i'm sorry. I was rude to you, and i promise that it won't happen again." "Yeah, sure." I still don't trust him, but i'll let it slide for now. "Alright ladies, let's focus. For today, i'll be checking out how you guys react to dangerous situation, so i need you to hand over all of your crystal from your storage." I looked at him surprised. "Even my teleport crystal?" "Mhm, even those." I saw that guy handing his crystals to him. He then looked at me, and gestured for me to hand over mine. "Yeah okay." I sluggishly hand over all of my crystals. "Great, now let's clear our self a dungeon!" He said fist pumping the air. "Yaayyy..." Both me and the guy said at the same time with no energy at all.

Yuuki

I decided to go walk around town square. While looking at the market, i noticed Argo sitting down on a bench looking at her menu. She noticed me looking at her and waved. She gestured me to sit down next to her. "Hey Yuuki, how's it going?" "Nothing much." I said but she looked at me weirdly. "Are you sure? You don't look like your cheerful self, and where is Ki-Boy?" I looked down when she mentions his name. "He got into a guild." I said sadly. "What are you talking about, that joke is so out dated." I looked at her with a serious face. "Wait, are you serious?" "He's now part of [Knights of The Blood Oath]." "This is CRAZY!! This info is going to sell for a lot. Wait, why would he join a guild?" "Because of a certain situation, he was cornered to a duel against Heathcliff. He loss and was forced to join the guild." Her eyes open wide. "He actually loss? That's something you don't hear everyday." I looked down again. "Hey, why don't we go eat lunch somewhere and keep your mind off him." I nodded and went with her.
