Fatal Bullet (Various x Female Reader)

Chapter Twenty-Five (Aftermath)

        Hey guys! Just a quick heads up, mentions of attempted suicide ahead. Not touched upon, but briefly mentioned. Just wanted to warn everyone! If there's any errors/mistakes/etc. well this chapter (along with a couple others) hasn't been edited yet. I might take the time once again to go through the entire book and look for the little errors. They drive me crazy, so I'm sure they probably drive some of you crazy... sorry 'bout that! ^-^;

After the mess that happened at the stadium, everything slowly went back to normal. Eiji turned himself in. However, since Klein and his friends never pressed charges, there was nothing to hold against him. He was let go free of charge. I tried to get him to play with us in GGO, however he declined.

I stood in front of Eiji, a small smile on my face.

"You know, you're always welcome to join us in GGO. Or if guns aren't your thing, I've just started playing ALO with Kirito and the others." I told him. Eiji sighed.

"(Y/N), thank you for the offer. But I have some things I need to think about. About what I've done, about Yuna... About my feelings for you." My eyes widened in shock, and my cheeks flushed slightly.

"W-What?" Eiji just shook his head and chuckled.

"Don't think too much about it, (Y/N). I'll keep in touch with you. Here, give me your phone." We then exchanged contacts.

"I'll see you around, (Y/N). Also, since I care about you... I want to warn you about someone you think you know." I tilted my head in confusion.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Eiji was about to say something, however, Rin showed up out of nowhere. That's right! Where was he? He was nowhere to be found after the others and I woke up from the FullDive function of the Augma.

"Rin! There you are! I was wondering where you went." Rin chuckled.

"Oh, don't worry. I was just checking something out." Rin stated. I sighed in relief.

"Alright. I was just concerned when you weren't there when we woke up." I confessed to him. Eiji started to walk away, catching my attention.

"Wait, Eiji! Didn't you have something to say?" I asked him. He turned back around.

"I forgot what I was going to say. Sorry, (Y/N)." He then took off, causing me to frown. What did he mean? Who was he going to warn me about? Rin caught my attention.

"What were you two talking about?" I looked over at Rin. Something wasn't right. Eiji was going to tell me something, however Rin seemed to show up just in time for him to not be able to say anything. Was it about Rin?

"Oh it was nothing. I just invited him to play with my friends and I in GGO and ALO. He declined, but he has his reasons, so I don't mind." Eiji must've had something to say to me about Rin. Something he didn't want Rin around to hear. Just what could it have been?

I still haven't heard anything from Eiji, but I know he needs his space after everything that happened. After all, he lost his chance to bring back his own childhood friend. I know how that feels. However, I've managed to get Hikaru back in some form in the ArFA-sys that I found. Speaking of Hikaru, Hikaru was waving frantically to try and get my attention.

"Master! I've been calling out to you for the past five minutes!" He exclaimed, yelling at me. I smiled sheepishly at him and scratched my cheek with my finger.
