Sword Art Online x OC

Chapter 2.1 - Old Friends

"Why dammit! Why leave the Knights!" A fist pounded against a wall, barely missing the head of another player. One looked over the boy, his white hair in shambles. His one handed blade resting at his side while his light armour made him seem almost monsterous in comparison to the boy pushed up against the wall. The armour clad boy, adorned in the white and red cloth of his guild, had tears streaming down his face as his fringe seemingly covered his eyes from his cohorts gaze.

"I couldn't save her." The boy said somewhat lifeless. He pushed his friends arm away from the wall. His cloth, once the glistening hope of white and red, now changed to a shabby blue and purple. The depressed boy moved past his friend, he could feel his negative emotions coming back, but he didn't wish to stay when they did.

As the boy walked away, he heard his friend plant his foot and turn. "Your such a coward, we could face this all together yet you run away, like a child!" The boy of white screamed, his fury and sadness fueling his words.

The boy in blue turned back, tears welling in his eyes. "I am a coward! I couldn't save her and I'm afraid I won't be able to save you!" He yelled in reply. They stood staring at one another, his hands running through his greyish-green hair as his eyes briefly grew life, only to display sadness.

The white child, couldn't respond, for he did not know how. He tried to find the words he needed to help his friend, but all he thought was the cliché. It wasn't your fault, you'd couldn't do anything. "Please don't leave me. I need you. Your my only friend."

"I'm sorry Shujin."

After my duel with Zekken, we had all returned to Kirito and Asuna's abode on floor 27. It apparently hadn't been too recent that they had re-bought it. Kirito entered first, followed by our shared cohort of friends. I heard Kirito call out to Asuna who was relax in the living room. "There is one final person, but I think he's still a bit shy."

I felt a tick appear on my forehead, that bastard. I calmed, walking into the house. I waved at Asuna with a slight feeling of nervousness plaguing my body. She got up from her seat, almost running towards me, before pulling me into a hug. "Jeez, I only saw you today. What gotten into you." I was still in shock, though the warmth of her heart was there, something I admired so much.

"You actually came, your back." Your back. A pit formed in my stomach, but was quickly eased by her presence. I was back. Back in a place I vowed I would never return, the negative memories of SAO flushing into my mind, my eyes went soulless gazing down at Asuna.

However, she then said something, dragging the fire of my soul back into control. My desire fueling me once again.

"I'm so happy!"

We had all been sat around the living room, everyone all in more comfortable clothing. I sat in a chair, staring out at the falling snow. Each droplet reminding me of how much I loved the scenery of VR MMOs, even managing to cast the image of my home in «Floria» surrounded by the flower beds. Everyone sat staring at the boxes Infront of them. We had stayed up studying, and it had gotten quiet late. On a chair next to me, Kirito sat asleep, Yui on his lap also asleep. Leafa, otherwise know as Suguha, was beginning to become distracted from her work. This lead Asuna to notice, deciding we should call it a day. Asuna and the girls decided to go out into the snow balcony. I hadn't noticed, till I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see the head of blue hair, which lead me to smile. "Sorry I got distracted."
