Savior - Kirito x OC

Chapter Eleven

        - Misaki's P.O.V -

        ''You look nice." Lisbeth says as I make my way towards her. I stop and look down at my attire.

        "Oh, thanks." I simply say and touch the stitching of my skirt. "So..."

        "So," She starts. "I've already got the material I need, but I'm missing something."

        I tilt my head sightly to the side. "Oh, what is it?''

        "I just need to find a metal to use for the head of your arrows. I've already got your quiver done." She motions to the empty quiver beside her.

        "Okay, so where is this metal thingy?"

        "It's the same metal I used for Kirito's sword, the Dark Repulser."

        I smile and shake my head. "You're kidding right?"

        Lisbeth laughs for a moment. "Nope, I'm not kidding. Kirito can take you to the very spot we found it."

        "Okay, I'll message him now." I say opening up the menu and begin to type Kirito a message.

        Lizbeth says that you know where to find that metal she used for the Dark Repulser, do you think you can take me there? I'm in her shop, meet me here.

        Lisbeth goes back to working on the bow itself and she points to a door in the room. "If you want to go change to your armor you can do it in there." 

        "Thanks." I say and walk into the other room, I flip on a light switch and find various weapons lining the walls, varying from swords, to daggers, to axes, and even to maces. I close the door behind me and un-equip my current clothes and put on my Dawnstar armor. For the longest time, I've been thinking about why people call me "Dawn Breaker". Apparently, I'm named after my armor and sword and by the fact that I kinda broke through the leader boards so suddenly. I'm the highest level player in the game, I have the highest critical hit accuracy, highest number of skills maxed out, largest total amount of money earned, but I come in second to fastest play. Asuna's first on that one of course. I walk out of the room and see Kirito chatting with Lisbeth as she works. He says something which makes her laugh, and I feel some odd emotion deep down inside me. Kirito glances my way and waves, I wave back.

        "Are you ready, Misaki?" Kirito asks as I walk over to the both of them. I simply nod and we're out the door. Lisbeth waves us good-bye as we leave.

        While Kirito and I walk, we decided to just talk. At first, we were talking about Lisbeth, but they're all good things, I promise. Then, we started to talk about swords. Yes, swords. How fun is that? Then we started to talk about Klein, one of Kirito's many friends. And come to think of it, I don't really have a lot of friends in the game. I mean, I have Kirito, Klein, Lizbeth, there was Sachi, Silica, Agil, and Strea. But that's about it, and I haven't talked to any of them except Kirito for the longest time. It has been at least a year in the game, so I guess its been a few months. 

        Kirito and I near the area Lizbeth was talking about. "So, there's this dragon here an-" Kirito starts but I kinda cut him off.

        "Whoa, wait." I say, "A dragon?" Kirito nods and I pump my fist in the air. "That's so cool!"

        "K-kinda..." Kirito stutters a bit nervously, but I honestly understand why. "Why don't we stop and rest here for a while?"

        "Is that some weird rhetorical question?"

        "No, let's just rest here, my feet are starting to hurt." Well, that's a first. Kirito and I settle in a cave he found in the mountain we were currently walking on - I guess. I sit on the cold floor and lean against one of it's walls, Kirito starts a fire and I stare into it's flickering flames. I get a glimpse of the sky from the entrance of the cave and it's getting quite dark, I pull out a sandwich and start to eat. But I stop after a while, then take out another one and hand it out to Kirito. ''Here, have some." I say and toss it to him, he catches it and unwraps the sandwich. I take another bite of mine and start to chew.

        "Thanks, Misaki." He says before taking a bite out of his. He chews, then swallows, and speaks again. "Wow, this is really good. Better than Asuna's."

        "Really?" I ask him, seriously surprised by this. "Didn't she max out her cooking skill?" Kirito takes another bite of his/my sandwich and speaks with his mouth full.

        "So what? This is crazy good." I laugh at Kirito and finish up my sandwich, but he finishes his before I even make it halfway through mine. I lay down by the fire and once again, just watch it's flames. It's dark outside and surprisingly warm, maybe it's because I'm laying right by this fire-thingy. Someone behind me shuffles. I turn to my other side and look straight into Kirito's eyes. He smiles at me and I feel quite blushy. The wind blows the fire out and it turns dark. A cool breeze makes me shiver a bit and Kirito hesitantly puts his arm around me. He's really warm.

        "Better?" He asks. I nod.

        "Much better." I say and Kirito tightens his arm around me, I bow my head down a bit and I feel Kirito's forehead against mine. I glance up but don't move my head one bit and the moon illuminates Kirito's face. A small smile plays on his lips. We both lay there in silence, just thinking. But what about Asuna? Don't they both have some interest in each other? I push the thought out of my mind and just enjoy this moment. I hope it never ends.
