"You should really join our guild!!" Asuna says with a smile on her face. I've gotten a name for my self. 'The Pink Shadow' I have my agility maxed out and almost my strength and hp. The Knights of the Blood oath wants me to join their guild.

I'm a solo player and I want to keep it that way. I smiled at her she's one of my friends. "Thanks for the offer Asuna, but I'd like to stay solo." She frowns but nods in understanding.

"That's okay, but one day you'll join us. I know it! I have to go. I'll see you around Xena!" She says hugging me. "You too Asuna." I hug back then she uses her teleport Crystal and leaves. I sighed. I just want to leave already I've made some friends and all. But, I just am sick and tired of this place right now. Only because I keep having dream's about my father, it's not keeping me focused.

I begin to walk around town people say Hi when they see me or are afraid of me. I'm nice to everyone and I try to save everyone or help anyone I can. But a few people are scared of me because my eye patch fell off in a battle with a boss one day and people seen my eyes and how strong i was at fighting and people think i was a beater. I don't deny or admit to it. It's easier that way.

"If it isn't the Pink Shadow herself." I turn around and it's a familiar face. I smiled. "Hello Klein." He smiled. "How are you?" he asked. "I'm okay, how are you?" He walks over to me. "I'm good, I herd you took on the boss all by yourself on floor 32." i nod. He looks like he's amazed.

"That's so cool. Do you think you could join our guild?"  I look behind him to his friends and i smiled at them. "You guys are really strong and powerful, but I'm a solo player. I love hanging out and stuff. But, I think I work best alone." he sighed.

"I only know one person who is The same way and he is more stubborn than you. I respect your decision. But you can't try to be by yourself you could get hurt." I laugh slightly at his comment making him look at me.

"I won't die, I think that I'm not as dangerous by myself than i would be with a guild." he looks confused for a second then laughs. "If you say so pink shadow. I'll see you around little one." he gave me handshake and then hug. "See you around Fire boy." I call him that because of his red hair and attitude. He's crazy I'll tell ya.

He leaves then i just continue to walk to the next town. I'm on floor 54 I was killing higher level monsters in the boss room to level up then got bored and tired to came into town.

I'm leaving to 76 and I've upgraded all my stuff. My sword is one of the most powerful ones in the game. I named it too. Pink demon, well because I'm the Pink Shadow and my sword is pink. I continue to walk around and just enjoy the sun shining on me. It might be virtual and all, but how is this all so fake. I've been in this place for almost a year now and it feels so real I can hardly remember what my life is like outside of this Game.

I found a medow of flowers near a river and decided to lay down watching the clouds, they look so real, they are real. At least to me, this all feels so real.

"You did it dad. You've totally made me forget about my life outside this game, how you destroyed so many peoples lives. You happy now?" I say to myself  i take my eyepatch off and just enjoy this moment. A smile crept into my face. The sky is blue sun shining. It's beautiful.

"Akane Kayaba." Once someone says my name i freeze. How does anyone know that name. I instantly stand up and grab my sword turn around and take a stance. but i stand down once i see his face.

"Kirito." i say. He gave me a small smile. "Who is Akane?" I ask trying to play dumb.

"Xena, I know who you are. I thought from day one that i knew who you were but then i couldn't remember where I seen you. But i remember the second i herd the Pink Shadow took out the boss on 32nd floor. You're Akihiko Kayabas daughter." I just fall to my knees and begin to cry. I've hid this for so long and tried to forget about me being his daughter. The dream's make me remember but i don't say that I'm his daughter out loud. I might say dad or father here and there but i just say it without thinking. but thinking about it again. I'm just as evil as my father.

"Just kill me and get it over with, I'm ready to die anyways." I say then i hear foot steps walk towards me.

"I'm not going to kill you." He says sitting next to me. "What? Why not. I'm the reason why you're trapped in this game." He lifts my head making me look at him with a smile on his face.

"You're not. You might be his family but You're in here too. You're just as trapped in this game as me." I shrug.

"This is all my fault. i keep trying to make myself feel better by helping others and getting stronger so i can beat this game and make it up to everyone by freeing them."

"It's not your fault. I wanted to find you to talk to you about the game. I'm a solo player like you, and I hate to admit it but i need help beating the boss on floor 40 and figured you can help me." He wipes my tears.

"I thought The Black Swords men didn't need help." I giggled. He smiled. "I only need help from the Pink Shadow." Then i started to think about how if he knew what i really did he wouldnt want me help with anything.

"If you know what I've done you'd never want me to help you."

"That's not true."

Sighing i begin to tell him everything I've done to help my father with this game. I ended up crying a lot and passed out in his arms while he held me.
