I'll Always be with You (SAO Fanfic) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 4: Welcome Party

Asuna Yuuki's POV

I went to Rika and Shino-non's dorm, to check if Shino-non's doing okay. I knocked on their door, and I heard Rika's voice "Wait a second!"

The door opened, and in front of me is Rika "Hey Rika!" I greeted her with a smile. "Asuna! Come on in, and Shino is on her bed" she said the last part a bit low to hear

I came in to their dorm, and saw Shino-non laying down on her bed, and she looks...paled

I approached her slowly, but as I walk closer to her, she turned around and saw me "Asuna!" Shino-non hugged me tight, and got up immediately from her bed. "Are you ok?" I asked her, as I caress her hair

"I'm...fine now" she said softly, and it made me feel relief...

"Oh thank goodness. I was worried about you when Rika, told me what happened" I told her, while still embracing together

"No need to worry now, it was all thanks to Kazuto...the guy that saved me"

"Yeah, I heard it from him..." I tell her, making her face look dumbfounded on what I said, and we break our hug, "Wait you know him? I mean...sure you know him on TAC, but you talked to him?!" Shino-non asked me in a shocked tone of her voice

"The t-thing is...he's...m-my...r-roommate" I explained stuttering, making Shino-non and Rika looked at me with their eyes widened

"EH!?!" They were both shocked

At the party

"Are you sure you're ok now Shino-non?" I asked her again to be sure. "Asuna...I'm fine, I appreciate your concern, but I'm ok now...really" Shino-non reassured

"Ok..." I said, still unconvinced

"Never knew the place would be this big..." Rika awed

"Bigger than our house..." I told them. "It's got like 4 floors, and the house is wide! More like a mansion, if you ask me" said Rika

"Still...it's ashame Kazuto won't come here, I haven't thanked him properly yet" Shino-non said, and I think Kazuto's just happy to help someone in need, so I tell her "Kazuto's glad that you're ok, so there's no need for you to be so formal to thank him"

"I guess..." she replied halfheartedly

"Speaking of which, where is Alice, and the others anyway?" Rika asked. "They said to come inside now, but I'm going to call Alice, just to be sure" I said, and grabbed my phone

I dialed Alice's number, and she picked up quickly

"Hello? Asuna?" Alice answered

"Where are you guys? We're outside the house"

"Oh! We'll be right there in a few, just dressing up, and waiting for Eugeo to be here"

"What about Eiji, Yuuna, and Keiko?"

"I think they're already inside, that's why they told us to come inside the house, if we're already at the place"

"I see, thanks Alice. See ya later"

"Ok, see ya!"

And we ended the phone call, then I put my phone back into my purse. "So? What'd she say?" Rika asked me

"She said she's still in her dorm, dressing up for the party, and she's waiting for her future husband to come and pick her up" I told her

"Heh...? What about Eiji, and the rest?" Rika added

"She says she thinks that they're already inside the house, so I'm guessing we should go in?" I said, and pointed at the house, unsure of myself. "Well? What're we waiting for? Let's go girls!" Rika grabbed my left wrist, and Shino-non's right wrist "H-Hey!" We were caught off guard, and pulled by Rika
