It was lunch and I was sat with Asuna on the field under a tree. She had told me Akeno would join us soon. "So Kirito can you tell me why you want to see her?" Asuna asks turning to me. I then pulled out the picture of the girl: (similar to this)

"I want to find her..." I say.
Asuna takes the picture and examines her and then looks at me. I could sense the jealousy rise in her and then she looks at me. "Why do you want to find her? Do you like her? Why do you have a picture of another girl with you?" Asuna says her rage building up. "Calm down Asuna... she's my sister." I say and then her face widens a little.
"Your what!? Since when? I never knew that!" Asuna said looking back at the picture. "She's so pretty... wow but she doesn't look anything like you..." Asuna comments.
"Yes because well she isn't my official sister... it was a year before my parents died. I found her unconscious and took her into my care. And she's been like my sister since. But after my parents died I became power hungry and left her... and yesterday I had an uneasy feeling and I saw a vision of her so I knew I had to find her" I say.
"Oh... so that's why you were awake last night. Why did you not tell me then?" She asks.
"I wasn't to sure myself until this morning when Heathcliffe told me her name. Aine Kirigaya" I say.
"Wow... you really want to see her again!" Asuna says.
"I vowed to protect her with my life... I wanted to make her smile again and make her happy. Since she was abandoned by her old family. The thing is she doesn't remember who they are but she knows she was abandoned" I say balling my fists. "Kirito calm down... we'll find her! Look Akeno is here" She says and I see a girl with black hair and pony tail approach us. She was my height and was smiling.
"My. My. Asuna and the newbie. So what do you want Asuna?" She says.
"Actually Kazuto wants to speak to you" Asuna says and the black haired girl turns to me and smiles. I see a blush form on her face. "Do you know where Aine is?" I ask and she smiles at me. "Yes, but she will be busy until the end of the day. She normally waits for her dad at the gates so you can catch her there" She says. A dad!? What! "Her dad?" I say out loud by accident.
"Um yes. Is something wrong, Kazuto?" Akeno says and grabs my hand. I blush and so does she. "okay thank you Akeno we will leave now!" Asuna says and drags me away with an angry tone. Ah, she's probably got jealous by that. I shrugged mentally and walked off with her. "Be careful of Akeno! She likes to use her looks to fool a boy's mind!" Asuna said and I just smiled.
"Don't worry, my heart is yours forever" I say and I begin to walk away from her. Not because I wanted to but I had no choice. "Kirito where are you going?" Asuna called out. I clutched at my heart but luckily I was turned away from her. "T-toilet" I say and quickly run off and lock myself in.

I was with my usual friends at lunch except for Asuna who went somewhere with the new boy Kazuto. Rumours around the school is that they are going out and are childhood friends. But realistically I was surprised she would go out with him with the attitude I've seen of him. He always looks like he's going to kill someone with that cold look. And then I remembered the incident between him and Zias. He looked out of control from his emotions but he gives of a strong vibe regardless.
Speaking of Asuna, here she comes but this time she is alone. So I can take this opportunity to question her on Kazuto. "Asuna finally! You join us!" I hear Liz shout and hug her friend. Klein, Alice, Sinon, Silica and myself all approach her as well. "Yeah this has been rare for the last couple of days you joining us!" Sinon said playing with her hair.
"Oh come on guys it's only 2 days! Well I am back for now at least" Asuna said.
"What do you mean at least?" Klein said.
"She's gonna go back to Kazuto aren't you!? So are the rumours true?" I ask her and I could see her blush so they are true! From first impressions I did not like the sound of him or the look of him. And I've been looking after Asuna here ever since she moved as well, with the help of my other friends as well. "Yes they are! Now can we just drop it. He's my childhood friend and he's the most caring person in the world" She said.
"Heh? With those cold eyes I'd beg to differ" Eiji said joining us. "I'm surprised you and Eiji aren't a thing! You guys are close as well" Silica said. And I could see Asuna clench her fists. "No. I had made a promise to myself that when I find Kazuto again I will be with him forever! So please let me be" Asuna said and well I guess, if she trusts Kazuto so much then I gotta trust him as well.
"Alright then you should introduce us to Kazuto later then" I say and just as I finished the bell rang and we all headed to our lessons.

My breathing was becoming heavier and I clutched at my chest as it was burning. I squeezed a little too hard and now blood was beginning to pour out a little. The pain was too much to handle and next thing I knew I was on the floor and my eyes shut. It was filled with darkness... I got up. Was this a dream? Where am I. I walk through the darkness and then a gate begins to form in front of me and then a palace comes to view. But the scenery wasn't pleasant it was of hell.
"Enter, my Lord" There was a wraith standing by the gate. Did he just call me Lord? What is going on. I then walk through the gates and the wraith closes the gate shut and flys off humming to a tune. All around me was lava and fire but it was oddly quiet. I pushed open the doors and in there were an army of ghosts. "All hail the mighty lord!" One of them shouted and they all bent down on one knee to greet me.
"Stand up, and tell me what's going on" I demanded.
