Savior - Kirito x OC

Chapter Fourteen

 - Misaki's P.O.V -

        As I'm looking back at the crowd of fearful players, I watch Asuna press herself against Kirito. I roll my eyes and look away but in the corner of my eye, I watch her kiss him again and this time, Kirito kisses her back. I feel a pang of both anger and sadness. The world around me is crumbling in my eyes but my only goal is to beat this boss and move on with my life. 

        I sigh and pull out my sword, Hiroshi looks at me and nods. I nod back. We both charge at the angel will that we've got, in a flash, we appear right in front of it and strike. I a split second the boss flies up in the air and it takes no damage. The rest of the group lets out a battle cry and joins the two of us. But two other people are missing. I look back and see Asuna trying to hold back Kirito, who's shouting at her to let go. For some reason Asuna's crying. Kirito pulls his arm out of Asuna's grip and runs to my side holding both of his swords. He gives me a sad smile but before he could say anything I dart away, dodging one of the Angel's arrows. 

        I glance back at Asuna who doesn't even bother unsheathing her rapier, just stands there. I huff and pull out Sky Piercer. Once again, I load several arrows and shoot them all at the angel I bring down it's health a lot, but I'm really confused. Why didn't it do that when I first shot it? The angel is flapping it's truly beautiful wings and fixes it's gaze on me. It pulls out two swords then swoops down, right at me. My eyes widen and I dodge last minute, but I get cut by one of it's swords and my health goes down halfway. My heartbeat quickens and I aim and shoot at the angel again. I don't know why but everyone's standing back, watching me battle this thing. The angel lands fifty feet away from me and throws one of it's swords. I counter it with my bow and the swords shatters but then reappear's in it's hand. Hiroshi and Kirito and Klein run towards the boss, weapons raised, screaming. They all attack it in sync and the Angel's health bar drops down to yellow before flying away. But, I just don't see it. I can hear the sound of it flying right above me but it's not there.

        Whoosh.

        My head snaps to the right but I don't see it there. Everyone looks horrified, someone in the crowd screams in agony and I can see an arrow sticking out of his chest, then he shatters. Dead. People begin to back away, and some just run back to the door but only to find it closed, and not willing to open. 

        Whoosh.

        I turn my head to the left this time and I see an arrow flying towards me, It catches me right in the chest, just like the other player. I look down then back up at Hiroshi, Kirito, and Klein. My health goes down to red and the arrow inside me vanishes. The angel reappers. So, a boss that can turn invisible, how unfair. It lands once again and I charge at it, my health is too low though and Klein holds me back. Then hands me a health potion.

        "No, drink this first, I got this." He tells me, I nod and drink the potion my Health goes up to yellow and I look back, give everyone an encouraging nod then Attack the boss. It blocks my first two hits but I catch it in the stomach, bringing the angel's health down just a bit. It suddenly becomes quicker than before and blocks my other attack, then pushes me back, all the way  to the doors. 

        Asuna looks at me in shock, but she unsheathes her rapier and looks deadly for once. She stares at the boss for a moment, everyone stares at her then looks back at the angel, then charges again. At this rate, we might actually beat this thing. I watch it's health go down but then it stops at point-one health. What the hell? Asuna sprints, then leaps into the air but get's knocked back by one of the boss's blows. 

        She slides back to at least twenty feet away from me. She gets up and just stands there, calculating I guess. The angel flies up into the air then lands right next to her. My heart pounds up against my rib cage. I sprint towards Asuna. I'm not going to let anyone die, not someone I know. It doesn't matter if I hate her or not. Nothing matters anymore. Kisaka... I'm sorry.

        I stop right in front of Asuna and the angel slashes multiple times at my chest. I knock the both of us back. Klein attacks the boss again but it's health doesn't move. Kirito runs up to the both of us while to rest of the players attack relentlessly. I feel myself being pulled away from the world. I feel weak, unable to move, nor breathe. Kirito takes my hand in his. 

        "Misaki..." He whispers, tears well up in his eyes. How am I still alive?

        "Kirito," I say weakly. "You can break my heat as many times as you want.."

        "B-but-" He starts but I cut him off.

        "Kirito... Listen to me..." I say and a stray tear fall from my eye and rolls down my cheek. "You can break my heart as many times as you want. Because Kirito, it was always yours to break." Everything goes black and the You Are Dead sign pops up. I have failed Kisaka again, but to be honest, it doesn't matter. Kirito cares about Asuna, and I care about Kirito. It would be selfish and mean of me to let someone that could be saved die right in front of me. I'm dead now, and I know that. But something pulls me back...
