(U/N) POV
My eyes were fixed on Liz, she still lied motionless. I waited for what seemed like hours until I finally saw that she started to raise. Heathcliff was already walking out of the arena. I could see Asuna's blank expression from where I sat at the other side of the arena. I look at my UI and see that my arms won't reappear on me for another 5 minutes. I watch Liz look around until she found where I sat. She started running toward me. Once she reaches me, she falls on me and snuggled up. She held on to me tight, her whole body was trembling.
"Scared eh," I say teasingly.
"You were launch across the arena instantly, I didn't see anything," she says with fear in her eyes.
"Yea, the backlash for missing an attack" I respond as we make eye contact. Her blue eyes looked so vast, yet so empty.
"I failed us," she says tearing up
"Don't cry, he was a tough opponent, I couldn't even get a scratch on him," I calm her
"Yea," she says snuggling tighter
Seeing her like this just makes me want to wrap my arms around her, it's too bad I don't have any right now.
"As long as your safe," I tell her
"What about Kirito and Asuna," Liz says realizing that we lost.
"Well, that's their problem," I say
"What! They trusted us to win for them!" Liz says a little mad
"I don't care, all I care about is that your ok," I say with a blush looking away
"So Cute!" Everyone in the grandstand yells.
"Get a room well ya," Punisher says
"I don't have have any arms," I say waving around my stubs
"Yea you kinda left them behind," Qweep says
"Are you all right," Jam says butting in
"Still alive," I declare
"That was unexpected, I never thought that you would fail that miserably," Looky says outright
"Yeah well.....he was using cheats," I say with a pout
This causes everyone to burst out in laughter.
"Seriously guys," I pout more
"We'll believe when we see it," Harry says
"Yea ok" I reply smugly
I stand up and start walking toward Asuna and Kirito, it was weird, to say the least. I never knew losing my arms would affect walking so much.
"Sorry," I say walking past them
"It's fine, after all, the commender beat Kirito," Asuna replies as Kirito is in a train of thought
"Yea," I say walking out.
I didn't talk to anyone as I walked back, I was mad. I was pissed in fact, he played with us like we weren't people. What a dick! I was walking when I realized something. I haven't seen Jenn since my battle. I stop and look where the others are. They looked confused as I looked around frantically
